Pray, LISTEN AND OBEY… vote!

AS THE BODY of CHRIST, WE HAVE GREAT AUTHORITY in the kingdom of heaven and in the things of God. It may come as a shock to many to learn that even though politicians will have to answer to God for what they do, the Body of Christ will also be held responsible.

We are responsible for everything that happens in the earth politically.The condition of the world is supposed to be controlled by our prayers. The Church has been given the power to change things. We stand in covenant. We have the armour of God and the power of attorney to use the Name of Jesus and the power of His blood.

God desires for His people to pray and take a stand with Him in faith. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 says, “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” It is vital important that we pray daily for our leaders.

It’s also crucial that we ask God how to vote. Voting is our God-given right and responsibility. Many people suffered and died for that right. We must not take that lightly.

Not voting is the same as casting a vote for the wrong side. Yet there are Christians all over this country who are not even registered to vote-enough of them to swing the results in certain constituencies.
The time has come to take our place. We are responsible.

When God speaks, we are to listen and obey, and we need leaders who will do the same. Party affiliation is not what matters. The person God can use is the one with a willing heart who will obey His voice.
Join us in asking God to give us leaders with willing hearts who will stand for what is right. Then vote as He leads you.

Your Holy Spirit-directed ballot is a powerful seed. When you vote in faith, in obedience to God, your household will be protected. God will take care of you no matter who is in office or what is happening in our country and the world. So don’t fear. Remember that God is your source, not the people who got elected. Don’t miss your God-given opportunity to lift up your leaders in prayer and to vote these coming elections. Remember you have authority and responsibility to pray, listen and obey. You have a voice in the kingdom of God, so let it be heard!

An Election Prayer to Pray !

Heavenly Father, I join with my brothers and sisters in the body of Christ and lift up our nation to You. During this crucial election time, I claim your personal choice for every office, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Give us leaders who have willing hearts to listen to Your voice and follow Your will. Remove any who refuse. I pray that all our leaders come into the knowledge of Your perfect will and carry it out. Give them wisdom and revelation.
Give us leaders who will do what is right so the Church can live in peace, honesty and godliness and the Word can go forth freely.

Thank You, father, this country will have a God-fearing president. I declare that we have God-fearing leaders in every position of authority at national, regional and local levels.
Reveal to me Lord, how to vote. I commit to do my part, and I’ll be a witness to encourage others to do the same.

I declare that we have a record turnout of Christian voters in every election. Father, we choose You. We choose to pray, listen and obey.

Thank You, Lord, that people all across the land are repenting and turning to You. Our finest our as a nation is just beginning. Thank You for watching over and protecting us. I declare that we are, and we remain a Christian nation. I give You all the praise and the glory for it, in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen!
