Let us all join in with those praying for God's Hand to be revealed in this election cycle...recognizing, as did Patrick Henry over 230 years ago that God is indeed is involved in the affairs of man and nations, and as the Holy Scriptures themselves testify that He will indeed bless us if we turn to Him.
"We shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. " - Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." - God in Heave, II Chronicles 7:14
I submit, that God in Heaven has already raised up and brought forth one such friend and blessing. She is going across the width and breadth of this nation generating large crowd of enthused people of all creeds, faiths, races, and stripes who hold fast to the traditional American values and prinicples that made this nation what she is.
Many others, less known or visible to us are doing the same.
We must stand up and do our part in this election cycle, we must spread the word to all we know and come in contact with within our own spheres of influence, and then ask them to do the same regarding:
...and regarding the principle oppostion we, and she and John McCain face:
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
SARAH PALIN DRAWS HUGE CROWDS ACROSS THE NATION
SARAH PALIN - YOUR BEST FRIEND OR WORST ADVERSARY
...AND AS FOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
Barack Obama has willfully associated with hateful extremists for years.
Barack Obama has openly shown his disdain and disrespect for America's symbols.
Barack Obama's election headquarters has proudly displayed abjectly marxists flags and symbols.
NOBAMA MOVEMENT SPREADS ACROSS THE NATION
Amen.
Just a small point, I think the two photoshop jobs of Zero take away from the credibility of the others which aren’t.
Amen...I love that Hymm.
THabk you each for your efforts and your prayers to Goad above. May they be miltiplied by the tens of millions and rise as a pleasing sound in His ears.
Amen, Jeff.

But calling all prayer warriors - to the REALITY that God can and does and will intervene = when we pray in earnest!
See how God responded to the earnest, united prayer of Christians in INDIA during their elections!
And not just for the top leadership in the nation but for the smaller leadership positions across that nation.
Even in a NON-CHRISTIAN nation - God intervened because of the UNITED DETERMINED prayer -and because of the FACT that His Word is true! When we cry unto Him, HE HEARS US!
God is able to do exceedingly abundantly ABOVE all we can ask or think! According to the mighty working of HIS Holy Spirit in the hearts, minds, and affairs of men!
Our part is to intercede, regularly, faithfully, with fasting and with thanksgiving and praise and humility before Him - on our faces before HIM —— the mighty Creator of the Universe who calls upon us, COMMANDS us to, Yearns for us to —— to to HIM for HIS VERY SURE HELP in our times of trouble.
And, as we know, we are in big trouble - bigger than anything we have faced in this country in my lifetime....
So thank, Jeff - keep the faith - and everyone keep your face looking unto Jesus Christ - not the left or the right - but to HIM. Trusting in HIM. He will bring us through and bring victory for righteousness.
Oh well, 1 Chronicles spells it all out and if we obey that commandment then he'll hear us. Let's hope it's in His will to stem the tide of evil one more time before He comes for us in the clouds.
thank you for the ping.
I agree God uses Governments and people for His purpose and Obama may be what we deserve.
But until then I will pray that God is merciful and doesn’t give us what we deserve.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
We’ve had daily prayers in our house for our country and it’s new leader since the campaign began 19 months ago!!!
Anyone who can should go to pray with the Culture of Life Prayer Warriors in over 179 cities til Nov. 2.
Go to 40DaysforLife.com for cities with prayer vigils to end the killing of our newest American citizens.
“A nation that kills its children is a nation without hope.” John Paul II
The will of man is stronger the will of God.
We must band together, pray together.
“Thy will be done on earth as it is heaven.”
Pray for fools, sucked in by MSM and the lying forces trying to bring us down, for the ignorant who don’t understand what will be coming. God forbid.

We will still praise Him..
God's Will be done, Amen.
Our household joins you in prayer.
"Patrick Joshua is the Director of the National Prayer Network and a father figure to the prayer movement in India. Because of a special burden for our nation, he visited the United States twice in recent months. Patrick believes the U.S. is at a very critical time in history, the impact of which will be felt around the world. During his visits, Patrick told the story of God's intervention in India in 2004, in response to the fervent, united prayers of His people.
At that time, political forces had mobilized with the intention of turning their nation in a direction that would make it almost impossible for Christians to share or practice their faith. Those forces had the momentum and the numbers as the Christian population in India is a minority, by some estimates representing only 6% of the 1.1 billion people in the nation. The situation was desperate. Many thought it was impossible. So they turned to the God of the impossible and began to pray. In cities and states across their nation, a movement of united, fervent prayer arose,but with a unique focus. They weren't praying for particular candidates or political parties. Instead they were praying for the person of righteousness, the person of God's choosing, to be elected in every elected office. Right up until the day of the election every poll and pundit predicted the election would be a landslide for those who were opposed to the gospel. When the votes were counted, however, the results revealed a different story. In district after district those candidates and political allies who opposed the gospel had been soundly defeated. At a national level they were out of power. The press and the pundits were stunned. No one saw it coming. So what happened? It seems God heard the cries of His people and touched the hearts of the voters as they went into the voting booths. Some believe a corporate conviction came upon the people and they voted for the person of righteous, the person of God's choosing. This was seen most dramatically in the states and regions where prayer was the most concentrated and fervent. In one of those states, laws that restricted the advance of the gospel were immediately repealed.
This is a very hopeful report about what God did in the elections in India. While our situation is different, we are at a critical crossroad. He can do this in our nation too if we will PRAY! For the next three weeks we will be praying for righteous men to rule righteously in our nation, starting with this prayer for God to wake up his people to pray. I bless you to let God to wake up the intercessor in you."
Hear God's Word. I have posted watchmen on Your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, Give yourselves no rest, and give Him no rest till He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. Isaiah 62:6-7
Our Father, our Lord, bless intercessors who have stood as watchmen at their posts unseen and unsung in the hidden work of prayer. You appointed and anointed them by Your Spirit of grace and supplication for the authority they have wielded in standing in the gap between Your holy hand and the judgment that the sins of our nation deserve. Strengthen the hands of these intercessors with patient endurance and with Aarons and Hurs to come alongside (Exo. 17:10- 13).
Release and reappoint those who have been discouraged, distracted, or disillusioned by inordinate attacks on their body, soul, or spirit, or on their families or finances. Come, our Helper Holy Spirit, to the praying ones who have been robbed and beaten up. Pour the oil of Your Spirit on these wounded soldiers, take them up, and restore them to wholeness and health and to their gifting and calling in intercession.
Awake new intercessors in Your church that has been disinterested and lazy. Let us receive new mantles of intercession and hear Your appointment to our posts in prayer. By the Spirit of Christ Jesus, who ever lives to intercede, impregnate the hearts of every believer with the Spirit of prayer as simple obedience to the commands of God's Word to pray without ceasing and to pray for those in authority. Appoint new intercessors and birth in them a holy desperation for prayer until we see You answer and You show us great and mighty things we have never seen.
Raise up intercessors who will ...
Respond to Your call in humility and holiness.
Respond to Your call to pray in the fear of the Lord.
Pray with grateful hearts of thanksgiving with their eyes on You.
Petition the God of the Impossible.
Pray with You, not just to You, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done.
Ask our Father, our King, to have mercy and redeem and show us Your glory in the sight of all nations.
Let this be a trumpet call, as Nehemiah said, "The work is extensive and spread out. Whenever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us. Remember the Lord who is great and awesome" (Neh: 4:17,20).
Holy Spirit, touch Your church.
Turn our hearts to You.
As another person on this thread said, we can thank God for not punishing us as our sins deserve. (If he did, we’d probably all be scar-faced geldings.)
Jeff, you continue to be a source (yea I “use un”) of great graphics & information..
I agree with you. I often wonder if we conservatives.. OK RINOs.. Republicans.. FReepers... whatever we are at the movement.. would just STOP our complaining about WHAT COULD BE & stop attacking our own candidates & instead bow before the Master asking for strength, direction and a solid victory for FReedom, democracy & theocracy.. my what a difference it would make.
Barack Obama MUST NOT BE POTUS.. never, ever, ever!!!!
Thank you sir!
A wonderful event I witnessed today, just by chance, was a pro-life march. God bless them.
Amen.. I’m praying daily.
Amen.
