It’s the middle of the night again.  For some reason I slept practically all day ~ and didn’t feel sick or depressed, it was just I couldn’t keep my eyes open.

I think I wore myself out talking politics last night.  I get so frustrated by the people who are so easily swayed by charisma. I lived through fainting, screaming women with Elvis and the Beattles – and it’s no mark of anything.  Even if good people are elected, soon they have made so many compromises in order to get good bills passed and actual work done – soon they are unrecognizable.  Pork belly bills added on top of things we’d actually benefit from – filibustering, and making promises they have no intention of keeping.  I can chant “CHANGE” all day long – but it takes more than one elected politician to carry it off.  And besides that – just change is not good unless it is going to change to something good. 

What are we thinking?  The President is elected for four years.  No one gets much done in that time.  What are we expecting?  Is it even reasonable to think one man can make everything okay for everyone??  Obama is one man.  One man with little or no experience, and a track record of personal ties to folks I would never agree with, and a voting record of compromise and hatred for Israel.  Some of these other folks running drive me to prayer.

Wake up Christians!  Wake up. Don’t believe everything you hear.  Don’t believe campaign rhetoric.  Do your due diligence and check out voting records.  Check out who they call mentors before they were in the public eye.  Check out who they associate with.  Charisma means nothing.  Aren’t you tired of potential?  Don’t you want substantial?  Can’t you tell the difference between campaign speeches and truth, strategy and plans?

Doesn’t anyone realize to accomplish lofty goals you have to have someone willing to push it through.  Both parties voting records sicken me.  Rare is the elected one whose voting record is spotless.  I mean spotless – from his campaign promises to the end! 

 Oh there I go again – getting all adrenalized for nothing.  I mean there’s little I can do at 2 a.m., except pray.

And pray I will ~ 2 Chronicles 7:14; Psalm 55:17; Matthew 6:8-10; 18:19; 21:22; John 16:23-24.

I know that the Lord has not given up on the USA.  I know that the destiny of this nation has never been accomplished and God remains faithful to bring it to pass IF we will pray.  So dear reader – pray.  1 Timothy 2:1-2 First of all I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in autority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.  NAS

I determined I would spend at least as much time praying as I do talking or worrying (yes I know worry is sin) about the election.  That way I can get God’s opinion, find out the strategies He has for me to use in prayer, and align with His concepts.  That way I can have peace – having placed each candidate in His hands.  That way I can trust that He will marshall angelic forces to bring about His purposes.  That way I can sleep.

Father I ask you in Jesus’ Name to guide our country in choosing our next President. 

I ask that you open doors for Your choice, reveal hidden agendas, expose faulty judgment and sin, give honor to Your choice and that you close doors for those who would bring anti-christ government one step closer. 

I declare that a spirit of sweet reason will come to the thousands and thousands who are enchanted by charisma and rhetoric. I decreee a spirit of truth and wisdom will guide men and women to do their due diligence in investigation of candidates, and that you will slam the door shut on those whose goals align with the enemy.

Father I agree with you – Your word says in Provebs 11:9-10 that through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.
When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. And in Proverbs 14:34 You say, “Righteousness exalts a nation,
But sin is a disgrace to any people.” Lord – I know that is Your intent for the USA - You want us to be known for righteousness.  I agree with You and I pronounce waves of righteousness to overflow every heart and every mind who sits in authority in our nation.  I say to the heavenlies – send forth wave after wave of conviction for compromise, a sentence of guilt for those who serve themselves, and a longing for righteousness.  Have Your way, Lord, let Your Kingdom come – on earth as it is in heaven!

Let Hilary Clinton, Barak Obama, Ralph Nader, Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, John McCain and all other political candidates be driven to Godliness, Holiness, Righteousness and obey Your voice to them.  In the armies of people who surround them day by day place Your ambassadors  and Your emissaries and Your intercesors and barage them with prayer.  Protect Your choice Lord.  Lead and guide them into all righteousness.  Bless them and keep them.  Bless their families, their loved ones, and their friends.

 God Bless the USA.  God Bless America.

Night night friends
