Pray The Vote!

Pray The Vote ^ | The Presidential Prayer Team

[amorphous]

The Presidential Prayer Team remains firmly committed to prayer and the biblical values upon which this great nation was founded. We are continuing our daily prayer over the 2020 election through December 14, 2020, at such time when the Electoral College cast their votes to officially determine the president-elect.

Several states are in the process of recounting, reviewing and/or verifying their vote counts. Contested states have until December 8 to finalize their results. Legal challenges may keep some states from officially certifying their election results. State voting results can project the president-elect, but the legal determination is set when the Electoral College cast their votes for their respective state*. We will continue to provide daily encouragement, verses, and prayers, as you to pray alongside fellow believers each day.

December 14, 2020: State electors cast their final votes for President of the United States of America* and the Pray the Vote 2020 prayer initiate comes to a close.

Beginning at sundown today, the 10th of December, and for the next FOUR days and nights. And in conjunction with the Jewish festival commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire, it would be an opportune time to ask the Almighty for His Divine intercession at this most critical point in our nation's history.

Why FOUR days?

Psalm 107 repeats the following verse, four times: "Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!"

Palsms Chapter 107 (NIV)

1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end.
28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

Interesting that this should occur at the start of Hanukkah:

"It's Coming" - Geomagnetic Storm To Dazzle Night Sky

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/its-coming-geomagnetic-storm-dazzle-night-sky

As we've previously explained, Sunspot Cycle 25 is likely underway and could be super active. Last week, one of the strongest solar explosions in a couple of years, measured as an M4.4-category eruption, was recorded. Now there's a new warning, of an imminent geomagnetic storm.

Readers in some northern parts of the U.S. could see Northern Lights, from Wednesday night through Friday, produced by a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).

"Geomagnetic Storm Watches are in effect from December 9th - 11th, 2020 due to anticipated CME effects," read a statement on NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center.
