Not to get too political...

I have really tried to stay away from posting anything too political on my blog. For a few reasons... my opinions and beliefs are basic. They are brought on by my individual research and prayer. The other reason is, I see people that are very passionate about their political views, and because of who they are to me, I would not want to cloud their vision or passion. Maybe I have a career in politics? Either way, I ran across a blog today, that I wanted to share. Regardless of which party you promote, which Bible you read, or which God you pray to, here is a message that can not be misconstrued. These were the words from the blog, not mine, I do, however, share the opinion of the blog writer, as well as the original writer.



What a powerful message--and so needed in light of the current US political situation! It is my goal to follow this advice (reposted below with permission) and have faith in the power of prayer.

ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT

“This is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced and from the looks of the polls, the Christians aren't voting Christian values. We all need to be on our knees.

“Do you believe we can take God at His word? Call upon His name, then stand back and watch His wonders to behold? This scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do so. We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land. This election is the scariest.

“2 Chronicles 7:14--'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.'

“During WWII, there was an adviser to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour. For one minute, they prayed collectively for the safety of England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing stopped. There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in the United States of America and our citizens need prayer more than ever.

“If you would like to participate: each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the upcoming election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land and that Christianity will grow in the US.

“If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along. Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.

"Please pass this on to anyone who you think might want to join us.”
