This is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced. 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. His 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.

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 advisor to Churchill who organize d a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray 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 America . 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, for wisdom and courage for our leaders, the up-coming election, and that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land and that Christianity will grow in the U.S.

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.

***Nice sentiment, but why limit it to Christains?***

*** ??????? Remain the basis?? I thought we had or were supposed to have a seperation of church and state?***

I am a Christian, and I AM voting Christian values. That's why I'm voting for Obama.

"Love thy neighbor"
"let he who is without sin cast the first stone"
'Thou shalt not kill"

You know, some of that stuff other than "protecting traditional marrage and stuff.

So Mcain frowns upon the concept of wealth redistribution.

He said to the rich, give your money to the poor,
So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.....

Thanks for the reminder. My cousin had sent me an email about the pray at 9 pm thing & I had forgotten about it until I saw this. Mike would love your post. That's a good verse from Chronicles. I remember there used to be a song about that. Haven't heard it in along time tho...

I'm no expert on this, so I will just ask, Will it be ok if I just pray for money? Because for me, once I get in that income bracket I won't want to pay any taxes either. But what I don't get is how people who are not rich still like to protect those who are???

The gullible lemming concept might explain it.

For eight years I've been hearing the term "family values" from Republicans, but I never quite knew what that meant to them. Tonight I found out--I watched an episode of Dirty Sexy Money. All is clear. What that Republican family values is whatever makes their own family richer and more powerful.

Mr. Zimmerman would be proud ! (I wonder if he will see this powerful message.) Thank you , kj !!

And hey ...what about those family values the Republicans ran and won on? Seem like just hype now.Talk about shallow.

"We feel toward them [politicians] as the minister about the Cape Cod farm,--in the old time when the minister was still invited, in the spring, to make a prayer for the blessing of a piece of land,--the good pastor being brought to the spot, stopped short: 'No, this land does not want a prayer, this land wants manure.'"

- Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Fortune of the Republic"
