Presidential Elections Prayer



This is a touchy subject.... Politics and all... And what I am about to say could step on some toes. But, this is a wake-up call for all of us (me included).

What is it about the shower? I do not know about you, but that's when God seems to really speak to me. Today, he spoke to me quite sternly in an effort to get my attention and get me to think with my head and not with my heart. Once he caught my attention, he told me to share the message with you.

It does not matter who any of us likes or wants to be elected. Read that repeatedly until it sinks in. It does NOT matter. It does not MATTER.

So, what does matter? I am glad you asked, because I asked the Lord that same question.

What matters is who GOD wants to be the next President of the United States. 

We tend to elect people, and vote for people, because of all the WRONG reasons. ALL of the wrong reasons. 

Who we vote for does not matter.

It is WHAT we vote for that matters. We need to vote for who God wants and the individual who does NOT do anything in office for their own agenda--or anyone else's. So, we need to pray for a selfless person for the office. 

The individual MUST obey God and obey God's Word. Period. End of story. Again, re-read that repeatedly until it sinks in.

It does NOT matter if we like the person or not. What matters is that they are president--based on biblical principles alone. They are a servant of God then and that is who should, and must, be president. If we vote for anyone else, then WE ARE LIVING IN SIN. If we do not vote for a man or woman of God, who will live the Word regardless of what anyone (or any group) wants or prefers, then we are actively and intentionally disobeying the Lord and the Bible. Period.

If we do not vote, we are not right. We are in the wrong. We are to vote the person who will stand on biblical principles and not stand by as someone is elected who fails to do so. 

Forget the people who are campaigning. What they stand for is what matters. It does not matter how they look. It does not matter how they speak. It does not matter if we like them. It does not matter if they say catchy phrases. It does not matter. What matters is what they stand on. Do they stand on self and/or agendas? Or do they stand on the Word of God? 

Look at these elections in a way you NEVER have before. Look at them ONLY through the lens of the Bible. Forget everything else. Who stands the most with biblical principles? Who does God want? Nothing else matters.

This is the wake-up, foot to my pants insight I needed. How about you? 

I think it's critical we spend EXTENDED time in prayer as the primary season is starting--and until the elections. May this be our focal prayer of determination. Pray without ceasing. This is critical. There is too much at stake.

What is wrong with the USA? We are. We have forgotten it's not about us or what we would prefer. It's about God.

Why Do You Pray?

Praying Prayers of Determination, long-haul prayers are not about you checking a box. It's not an action of faith to prove yourself to God. That should not be why we ever pray.

Rather, we should pray  Prayers of Determination and long-haul prayers because it gives God the opportunity to work in us, around us, and through us--and show us that he alone is God. 

So, why do you pray?

The Easy Way, Short-Cut and Prayer



Most of the time, the short-cuts and easy way are the worst ways to go. There is too much you miss if you go for the easy way or the short-cut.

I used to like to make sure that my prayers were measurable and could be answered by God. I helped him out that way. I wanted to make sure I wouldn't be disappointed. I was impatient and wanted answers now, thank you very much.

I now realize how shallow that is.

The USAGC 2026 prayer could be seen as a pipe or an impossible dream. The Bible mentions nothing about it, so obviously that will never come true... Right?

Wrong. 

The Bible doesn't mention the internet, satellites, tanks, cell phones, abortion, presidential elections, etc. Does that make them any less true or real? 

The USAGC 2026 prayer is very possible. It will take more prayer... more intentional prayer... than I can even begin to fathom. But, I am going after it. I am giving it my all. No short-cuts. No easy ways. Just dropping to my knees and getting to the down and dirty. I am praying to the point of callouses on my knees--and holes in my jeans where my knees are. I will pray like this every day for the next 25 years--and then beyond.  I am tried of little, short-term, easy, short-cut prayer. I want to the meat and potatoes of my faith--not just the milk. 

Again... Wanna join me? Let me know if you do. Send an email of attach a comment to a blog post, please.

Public Prayer



I discovered something very special over the weekend. I cannot wait to share it with you. I am still in the process of what it means to pray for the fulfilling of the Great Commission in the USA on or by 31 December 2026. After all, this is a whole new way of life for me... The praying of the Great Commission in the lives of the U.S. is something I started last week on the 14 of December. Hence, I am only 5 days into this. Consequently, what I am about to share is quite new and different for me.

So, how can we pray the great Commission to be fulfilled in the USA? Here is one way:

This weekend, I was at an airport, at two restaurants, at the gym, at Bass Pro Shop, at another airport, and drove quite a bit around town. Needless to say, I was in public more than usual and I was able to pray the Great Commission on each of those places, and during the driving in-between. Therefore, I learned quite a magnificent lesson.

Pray the Great Commission for each person you see and think of. Go to public places and pray for everyone you see there--and along the way to and from your home. Pray for each of the houses and cars you pass . Granted, sometimes there are so many you pass, it has to be a prayer to cover the multitude, but still pray over all of them. Now, if they already believe in Christ, pray that they are a conduit to help plant, fertilize, and/or grow the seed of faith in their lives. I pray simply, "Father, help them and all others in their life to believe in Jesus Christ and fulfill the Great Commission on or by 31 December 2026."

Do this everywhere you go, every time you go.

The Gift of Jesus Christ

The greatest gift you can give anyone is prayers for them.



There are two prayers in particular It depends on who they are if you pray just the first or if you pray both for them. The two prayers are:
A That they accept Jesus Christ as Lord and believe in him. 
B That they become a rock solid, on-fire, determined follower of Jesus Christ who reads and prays the Word without ceasing.

Pray Long


Pray long--not short.

Pray for the long-term--not the short-term.
