So he {Elisha} answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."  And Elisha prayed, and said, "LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw.    2Kings 6:16-17

Ladies and Gentlemen, there are 535 people in Washington DC that make decisions that affect all of our lives here in America. There are 50 states that all have Governors and state courts and local city courts that carry out the laws of the land. Conservatively, there may be 65,000 people in positions of authority in this country.  However, the estimated population of the United States is over three hundred million people. Our best estimates are that more than 270,000,000 people claim to have faith in God Almighty and that our laws are based on the words of the Bible.

On September 12, 2009 there was a patriotic rally in Washington DC and across every state in this country, where the good citizens of America expressed that “We the People” hold these truths to be self evident – that ALL MEN are created EQUAL and we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights!  Hundreds of thousands of men, women, teenagers, seniors, from all races, all creeds, and all social and economic backgrounds proclaimed their concerns and distrust of elected officials trying to legislate more government DEBT on the citizens of this country. Americans are now engaged in the political process. 

The churches (Catholic, Evangelical, Protestant, and the Mormons) in California got together and successfully passed Proposition 8 in November 2008.

More than seven million voted in favor of California Constitution stating that marriage is between one man and one woman. Imagine that six and a half million people voted that marriage can be between two men or two women. Lord have mercy, forgive them Father, for they know not what they do!

 

Heavenly Father, we pray today that the scales of blindness be removed from those people in Washington DC and around this country! 

Show them that there are millions more of us that believe Jesus is Lord of our lives, and we vote, than there are of them. Empower those people that know You Lord, to speak the truth with BOLDNESS and CONFIDENCE! 

Let us all prayer together in agreement, that the Divine Purposes of God would be carried out in the Halls of Congress, in the White House, and in the Supreme Court of the United States. We ask in the authority of the Name of Christ Jesus our Lord and our Savior, that people everywhere would put their Faith, their Hope, and their Trust in the one true Living God – Creator of Heaven and earth and all that is in the earth.

Make it so, Dear Lord, make it so!
