There Are Thousands Who Have Not Bowed!
Tomorrow is Election Day in the United States of America. Never before in contemporary times has there been so many questions as to whether the elections are fair and honest. Never before in recent times have election workers feared for their lives, as they monitor the elections. Turmoil, confusion, shades of corruption, and fear are symptoms of the day.
How have things come to this? If you would randomly ask the average citizen they would point the finger to “the other party”. Taking responsibility is not something we do anymore. It’s always the other guy’s fault.
Yet, even as I write this, I am listening to people from all other the country who are accepting responsibility for the future of this nation, and they are doing it by praying! “Pray the Vote” has set aside a platform today and tomorrow, for all people who want to join in praying in real time for the federal, state, and local elections that will culminate on tomorrow.
There is no one walking this earth that can change the heart of man. That work can only be done by God our Father. It takes His supernatural act to bring a person to a reality that they need Him to live in love with his fellow man. Our part is to pray, to pray to the God of Heaven that He will convict those who are bent toward evil, knowingly or unknowingly. And then when they are convicted to bring them into the blessings of repenting from their sins and receiving the glorious work of redemption.
Salvation is not a fairy tale. It plays out in real life with the hearts of fathers turning toward God and their children, and children growing up assured that if they live according to God’s Word that their life and the life of their seed will be blessed. When prayer is offered by God’s people, the world gets the news, for as corrupt as the world may seem, God said to Elijah and is saying to us today:
Meanwhile, I’m preserving for myself seven thousand souls: the knees that haven’t bowed to the god Baal, the mouths that haven’t kissed his image.” 1Kings 19:18 (MSG)
Never think you are the only one – there are many on this earth who love God and are praying for God’s will to be done, and there are a great cloud of witnesses in heaven standing with us.
