Please join in prayer and fasting for our country and the upcoming election.
As we are facing the final days leading up to the Presidential election in the United States, it is clear that this election is very crucial. The forces of evil are striving hard to destroy our nation. It is a time for serious prayer and fasting.
First some scriptures from the Bible ...
NKJV Mark 9:17 Then one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. [18] “And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.” [19] He answered him and said, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me.” [20] Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth. [21] So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. [22] “And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” [23] Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” [24] Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” [25] When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it: “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!” [26] Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.” [27] But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. [28] And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” [29] So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.”
Supplication or supplications are pleas or pleading with God.
NKJV Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; [7] and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
NKJV Daniel 9:18 “O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations, and the city which is called by Your name; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies. [19] “O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”
Reflecting on God's word, we need to pray; we need to fast; we need to plead with Him to save our nation.
PRAYER: I've collected a few prayers from FlashPoint Live and have transcribed them below. Feel free to contribute. If you wish to add prayers to this thread, please do so. If they are someone else's, you can put their name in front of the prayer. If you have a prayer that you have prayed or thought of praying, you could type it out and add them here.
Use as many of these prayers for your own use as you wish. Take parts of or as much of any prayers that touch a nerve of faith in your spirit and pray them daily or as much as possible. You could print them out and take them with you. If you find something that you have trouble agreeing with, just skip over it. Please, no bickering or debating. This is a prayer thread for our nation. Please keep comments to a minimum.
FASTING: As for me and my household, we are going to fast one day a week, up until the week of the election. We may fast more the week leading up to the election. Fast as you see fit, but take care not to harm your health.
I've always understood fasting to be abstaining from meats and/or depriving the flesh. Some fasting which I've heard of: total fasting, which is no food or liquids; some fast by drinking liquids only; some fast by avoiding all meats, sweets, treats and caffein. You decide how you are going to fast.
Fasting in recent times for me has been no tv; other than the weather. Avoiding internet entertainment. No fleshly contact with momma. Mostly, all vegetable content; mostly green leafy vegetables from the time I rise and until I sleep; in essence end of one day and until the beginning of the second day. But again, this is what I've chosen. I encourage you to do what you think best gets God's attention.
Here is Seth Gruber commenting on some of the issues which are attacking The United States ...
Here are some comments from Hank Kunneman which touch on prayer and fasting ...
Now we have to understand as we are facing our scheduled election, we're looking at the different candidates that our out there, President Trump who is pro-life and then you look at those on the left - pro-choice, you understand it's the battle between two kingdoms. The Kingdom of God which God said I set before you life and death, therefore choose life. Well, they are always bent on death and the culture of death. And this is why it is important that you as a Christian are praying right now. And, also, even if you are not a Christian, you need to pray and you also need to get out and vote, because it is crucial for what is taking place.
We started our church 1997, in a little store front. Planned Parenthood was there; they were there for 40 years. In 2008, the spirit of the Lord said to me: "why do you tolerate them"? Hank said: "Lord, what are you talking about"? The Lord said: "Planned Parenthood was in the plaza". Our church was not growing. Everything we tried; nothing was working. So, I assembled my staff at the time and my intercessors, and I said: "here is what we are going to do. We are going to pray privately and we are going to loose the spirit of life. We are going to command that Planned Parenthood is driven out by the spirit of God. And, we are not going to lift our voice, except to God privately." Within about a year, again, they had been there 40 years; no plan to go. They were out in the parking lot. We had one of our staff members go out to them, and they were angry. You talk about a demonic manifestation. They said: "it is not working here; we don't know why, but it's not working here". And, they left.
And this is what I want to say to us as Christians, if we will stand and if we will seek the God of life and justice and of righteousness. And, we as pastors will lift up our voice, and begin to address the things that are trying to kill, steal and destroy, in our culture, in our communities, our schools, and touching the children, just like what God did with Planned Parenthood to drive them out, we can see our country come back to the country that God wants to bring that's going to have life.
The democratic liberal loonies; they know exactly what they are doing and they need to be exposed.
I believe that God has been speaking prophetically that we are in a divine reset reversal. He said the way that we would know that this is happening is that there would be the great unraveling. And, I'm telling you the Democratic Party is unraveling. And we need to help it by not voting for them and also by prayer and fasting. And, that is going to help reset our country.
And now, without further adieu ...
