I spent two hours standing in line this morning (6:30-8:30am) to cast a single vote.
I spent two hours in intercession this morning (4-6am) moving things in the heavens.
Guess which two hours made a bigger mark on the direction of this nation?
The votes may be in already but our biggest impact is still to be made. Keep praying, people.
I agree. I find myself thinking a lot about politics lately, and how to debate people or whatever. I kinda enjoy thinking about it, but at the same time, I believe that I spend so much time thinking about it because I think I can do something about it by thinking about it or talking to someone about it.
But truthfully, who do you know who has really been swayed by what someone has said. I haven’t changed my belief or opinion yet and people talk and argue to me plenty.
So I decided every time I find myself spending my time in thought on politics, I am going do something about what I am concerned about, I am going to pray. I am going to change things eternally.
So I to while running woodworking equipment spent probably about the same time in intercession as I did voting last night and this morning.
And do not let the intercession stop but let it rise!

Well said.
As a side note; reason #52 of why I love IHOP KC- just hours after the election was over, a team was praying for President elect Obama, regardless of what they thought of his policies! Yeah!
Yeah… I was really rocked when my team came out for the midnight set and we prayed for God to bless Sen. Obama and protect him and his family. The Sermon on the Mount is inconvenient at times, but you do feel better if you follow it.
A lot of good thoughts here. I voted pro-life, but it’s clear that we’re commanded to pray and even give thanks for our President-elect Obama (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
