Sunday, October 31, 2010 - Election Day Prayer Vigil:

Praying Through 2 Chronicles 7:14
CONCLUSION: LORD, HEAL OUR LAND

[This series for an Election Day Prayer Vigil Was developed by Mary Fox Murphy, Founder and President, Christian Women's Outreach, in Stillwater, OK.

In lieu of offerings, Mary is simply asking that we share this prayer strategy with others in our own network of friends. Thank you, Mary!]

Introduction

Praying Through 2 Chronicles 7:14:

Heal our Land

2 Chr 7:14 "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

PRAYER FOCUS FOR THE WEEK:

"THEN, I will HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE Their sin and HEAL THEIR LAND. "

Father, We humbly come before You in the name of Your Son, Jesus, and our Lord. We offer praise and thanksgiving for Your mighty works and Your constant companionship extended to us. We believe in our hearts that we have sincerely tried to do what You have asked of us according to 2 Chron. 7:14. Our great desire is to please You and be in Unity with other believers in this ensuing battle for our land. We come with great humility now to petition You with our requests, to make some declarations before Your Throne, and to offer prayers for the nation.
We believe that:

• We are Your people, called by Your name, and called according to Your purpose for such a time as this.
• We have tried to learn and practice humility to the best of our ability out of our great love and honor for You.
• We have prayed because we know that You are THE ANSWER to all things and THE GREAT HOPE of our lives on earth and in the Kingdom to come.
• We have asked the Holy Spirit to help us turn from our wicked and compromising ways because we choose to walk in obedience to You and Your Holy Word.
• We have truly fallen in love with you more and more each day as we have walked this path of humility these past five weeks.

So, Father, we stand before You this day and in the days to come and ask You TO HEAR OUR PRAYERS THAT WE OFFER TO YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD. We ask you, Lord, to FORGIVE OUR EGREGIOUS SINS and to HEAL OUR LAND.

Written with love and affection from,

The Bride of Christ, who eagerly awaits her Bridegroom.

ASKING FORGIVENESS FOR THE SINS OF THE NATION

It is up to the Lord whether He will heal our land or bring His Hand of judgment upon this nation.
In the meantime, while we are still fully engaged on the earth, it is our responsibility to turn our thoughts to asking forgiveness for the SINS OF THIS NATION. They are many and sordid. They are an abomination to our Lord, almost too despicable to even speak; nevertheless, it is our responsibility to seek the Lord's forgiveness for this nation and our defiled land.

WE ARE, AFTER ALL, THE WATCHMEN ON THE WALL.


PRAYING FOR DEFILED LAND

And I sought for a man among them that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none. (Ezekiel 22:30)

It is extremely important that this scripture not happen on our watch. I pray that as He looks across this nation, He finds millions of us in the midst of a powerful concert or prayer orchestrated by the Holy Spirit as we prayer for the land.

(Isaiah 6:8) Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

God judges each person, family, church, city, and nation based upon their beliefs, their leadership, and practices. All are subject to the spiritual principle of sowing and reaping. Today, America suffers from the onslaught of unbridled sin. We need, however, a clear understanding of praying for the land. God said He would heal our land, not the nation. There is a difference, but they are intricately connected.

God has created billions of people but only ONE earth and He is very covetous concerning His Land.

The billions of people can be easily replaced, but the land-Oh!---there is only one inhabitable land mass like this in the Universe. This earth cannot be replaced. We, too, must be as concerned as God is about His Land. As a believer, we are each responsible for "our land." That may be the land upon which we live, the city, county, state, or nation in which we reside. If we forsake "our land" or have a lack of commitment to it, we have failed the Lord and ourselves. There must be no guilt found in us for a lack of commitment to "our land."

Land is defiled by:

1) the shedding of innocent blood,

(2) wickedness

(3) immorality

[Please note: Mary has also written a teaching on Praying for Defiled Land. This goes into how land is defiled, God's concern about His Land, and how we pray reconciliation for defiled land. You can obtain a copy of this teaching by contacting Mary Murphy at the email address given at the end of today's mesaage.]

STEPS FOR RECONCILING DEFILED LAND

The perpetrators of sin in this nation blatantly mock God and laugh in our faces each day. Mockers are an offense to God and those spirits that control them need to be pulled down. These steps will help you pray your way though this week.

1. Recognize the sins of the nation, identify them, if possible the root causes, as well.
2. Confess and renounce the sin.
3. Forgive the sin that was committed. This remits and releases the transgression to God.
4. Ask the Lord to forgive the sin that was committed.
5. Ask the LORD to break the strongholds of the offending spirits.
6. Apply the cleansing Blood to the land in prayer.
7. Pray for the redemptive purpose of the land to come forth.
8. Pray that the fruit remain.
9. Turn around (repent) and walk in obedience to God's Word.
We pray, Lord, that as we seek Your Face, that you will give us the clear understanding about the tragedy and seriousness of the defiling of Your land.
The Sins of Our Nation Have 'Defiled The Land'

Jeremiah 23:4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, For the wickedness of them that dwell therein?

PRAYER POINTS: PART ONE

FORGIVE US, LORD!

[Part One]

1. Father, we ask forgiveness for those who turn to other gods and hidden wisdom, for seeking help from anything in the occult, Satanism, for New Age practices and anything that would be an offense to You. Forgive them, Lord, they do not know what they do.

Ex 20: 3-10 3 "You shall have no other gods before Me. 4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image-any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

Jer. 16:8 I will repay them double for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land with the lifeless forms of their vile images and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols."

2. This week we stand against all of the sins of wickedness, immorality, and those who have shed innocent blood and defiled the land. We ask forgiveness for those who have so flagrantly sinned against You because of design or ignorance.

Ezk 36:17 "Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds.

3. Lord, forgive our political leaders for their ideas and legislation which goes against Your Word. Forgive them, Lord, for legislating evil laws for our nation. We pray for their salvation.

I Tim. 2:1-3 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.

Mat. 6:13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

4. Father, forgive us for allowing prayer to be taken out of our schools. We took You away from the children of this land in a venue of learning. Forgive us, Lord, that the school may have been their only opportunity for them to learn of you.

2 Chron 29:6 For our fathers have trespassed and done evil in the eyes of the LORD our God; they have forsaken Him, have turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the LORD, and turned their backs on Him.

5. We stand against the overwhelming tide of immorality, homosexuality, adultery, promiscuous living, pornography and all of the sexual sins that stand against the Word and Will of God, all those who have defiled the land by immorality. Help these people, Lord, and forgive their sin.

2 Cor. 12: 21 21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.

6. Father, we ask forgiveness for those who practice anti-Christian bigotry, all racism who mock and demean You in the public or private forum. Forgive them, Lord, for their ignorance.

Gal 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

PRAYER POINTS: PART TWO

FORGIVE US, LORD!

[Part Two]

7. Help us, Lord, to stand in the gap over the land and ask forgiveness for those who are held captive by unbridled appetites for drugs, alcohol, and all addictions that are deadly to our people. Father, forgive them for Your sake.

Mark 4:19, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

8. Father, forgive us for Roe v. Wade and the terrible sin of abortion. We ask forgiveness for the shed blood of over 50 million little ones. Forgive those who have aborted their babies.

Ezk. 36:18 Therefore I poured out My fury on them for the blood they had shed on the land, and for their idols with which they had defiled it.

Psa. 106:37-39 They even sacrificed their sons And their daughters to demons, 38 And shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood. 39 Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds.

9. Father, we ask forgiveness for all of the broken homes and children's lives that have been distressed, upset and possibly destroyed by adult's problems and divorce. We pray that all of these adults and children who are looking for love and acceptance in all the wrong places- will FIND YOU.

Prov. 8:34-36 Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. 35 For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD. 36 But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death."

10. Father, forgive the people for their evil ways of unrighteousness and all wickedness. Forgive them for flaunting their ways before You without concern for You.

Rom. 1:28-30 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents.

11. Father, we ask forgiveness for the abhorrent loss of our children and loved ones to violence in our homes, schools, and streets. We pray and ask that not one die in vain.

Ex. 20:13 You shall not murder.

John 12:24 Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.

12. Father, we ask forgiveness for the leaders of this nation who want to divide Your land in Israel. They do not understand Your ways.

"I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land." (Joel 3:2 NIV)

The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you are but aliens and my tenants." (Leviticus 25:23 NIV)

13. Father, forgive the people of this nation for turning their back on you and not keeping the Sabbath. Forgive them for using it as another work day, a shopping experience, or a day of personal pleasure.

Isa 58:13, 14 If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the LORD honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words, 14 Then you shall delight yourself in the LORD; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the LORD has spoken."

SEALING YOUR PRAYERS

As you have prayed for each of these things and all of the other issues that the Holy Spirit brings before you-PRAY FOR THE REDEMPTIVE QUALITY FOR EACH. Our prayers are not to condemn but to warn and TO SAVE THOSE OR A NATION THAT SINS AGAINST OUR FATHER. As we pray, we want to declare the redemptive quality for the situation.

Examples:

• If there is bloodshed-pray that LIFE be restored.
• If there is dishonesty-pray that TRUTH, HONESTY, AND INTEGRETY replace the evil.
• If there is unbelief-pray for FAITH to overcome them.
• If there is division-pray for UNITY.
• If there is immorality-pray for RIGHTEOUSNES

As you end your prayers, ask the Holy Spirit to seal the work that has been done to REMAIN and not be thrown away or stolen.

John 15:4-6 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

Lord, Hear Our Prayers

But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, And did not destroy them. Yes, many a time He turned His anger away, And did not stir up all His wrath; (Psalm 38:78)

THANK YOU!

Thank you for praying with us this week. I know that the committed prayer of the faithful will avail much. Continue to pray for those who are against the things of God.

PRAY FOR THEIR SALVATION.
I Peter 3: 10-12

"He who would love life And see good days,
Let him refrain his tongue from evil,
And his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good;
Let him seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their prayers;
But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil."

A Note from CHPP

Dear Friends,

We have now come to the end of our Election Prayer Vigil. We wish to thank Mary Murphy for her tremendous work in undertaking this study of 2 Chronicles 7:14 for all of us. Thank you, Mary!

As we prepare now to enter into a day of Prayer, Fasting and Repentance tomorrow, on the eve of this national election, we commend these prayer guidelines to you as a framework of intercession for the day. Because it is written:

Psalm 62:8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

Special Election Alert

"The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." (Rev. 11:15)

Introduction

SPECIAL ELECTION ALERT: INTRODUCTION

We have now reached the last three days before the election, on Tuesday, November 2, 2010.

We are also on the cusp of a day that may well change the history and the destiny of our nation.
In this very serious hour, we ask the Body of Christ to come into alignment with us in Washington, D.C. -- the District of Christ -- to declare and decree the following points of prayer.

First:
A CALL TO A DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING FOR AMERICA
on MONDAY, November 1.

Second:
A CALL TO REPENTANCE for our sins as a nation.

Third:
A CALL TO ACTION at the polls, with on-site prayer on the eve of the election at your polling place.

A CALL TO PRAYER
A CALL TO A DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2010

Throughout our history as a nation, every President since George Washington has called for:

-- a day of PRAYER when there was a national need
-- a day of PRAYER AND FASTING when there was a national crisis, and
-- a day of THANKSGIVING when those prayers were answered

Today, our nation once again stands in the place of CRISIS as we see the very foundations of our republican form of government endangered by the increasingly tight grip of the hand of tyranny.

Like men of old, our only real hope lies not in any political party, nor with any man. OUR ONLY REAL HOPE LIES IN GOD. . . our real reliance must be upon God.

As we seach the historical record, we find countless examples of calls to prayer and fasting for our nation. Let's examine three examples now.

PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON
On April 12, 1778, at Valley Forge, General Washington ordered:

"The Honorable Congress having thought proper to recommend to the United States of America to set apart Wednesday, the 22nd inst., to be observed as a day of Fasting, Humiliation. and Prayer, that at one time, and with one voice, the righteous dispensations of Providence may be acknowledged, and His goodness and mercy towards our arms supplicated and implored:
The General directs that the day shall be most religiously observed in the Army; that no work shall be done thereon, and that the several chaplains do prepare discourses."

PRESIDENT JAMES MADISON
(In response to the British invasion of the capital during the War of 1812 on November16, 1814)
"In the present time of public calamity and war, a day may be . . . observed by the people of the United States as a Day of Public Humiliation and Fasting and Prayer to Almighty God for the safety and welfare of these States . . . of confessing their sins and transgressions, and of strengthening their vows of repentance . . . that He would be graciously pleased to pardon all their offenses."

PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN
On March 30, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a National Day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer:

"The awful calamity of Civil War . . . may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole people . . . We have forgotten God . . . We have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.

Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become . . . too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins."
[Source for all quotes above: Prayers and Presidents, by William J. Federer]

A CALL TO REPENTANCE

Today, as we continue to humble ourselves before Him and to seek His face, according to our Election Prayer Vigil, the Lord is requiring our repentance for three specific sins:

1. THE FLATTERING OF MAN

We repent that in the realms of both government and the church, we have fallen victim to the practice and sin of the flattery of men.

It is written: ""Let me now be partial to no one, Nor flatter any man. "For I do not know how to flatter, Else my Maker would soon take me away." (Job 32:21,22)

2. WE HAVE LOST OUR SALT
It is written: "For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another." (Mark 9: 49,50)

3. WE HAVE LOST OUR WAY
It is written: "A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. 22Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God. We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God." (Jer. 3:21,22,25)

A CALL TO ACTION

As we move into alignment now in prayer, in fasting, and in repentance, there is yet another step required of us.

That step is to TAKE ACTION.

As citizens of the United States of America, we enjoy a privilege that few other peoples on earth do: we have the right to vote.

CAPITOL HILL PRAYER PARTNERS URGES ALL OF OUR READERS, AND ALL OF THEIR FRIENDS, TO TAKE TIME TO GO TO THE POLLS ON TUESDAY AND TO VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE WHO MOST CLOSELY RELFECTS YOUR VALUES.

[To learn where your candidates stand on the values we hold dear, go here.]

BUT AS CITIZENS OF THE kINGDOM OF GOD, THERE IS ONE MORE STEP REQUIRED OF US:

PRAY AT THE POLLS!
Polling places are actually gates of governmental authority. In the divine grace and mercy of God, each one of us, when we step into the voting booth, takes on the mantle of authority to choose who next will govern over us. We must choose wisely!

Knowing that the LORD holds the keys to the kingdom, and that at the Cross, the enemy was defeated, we must "go forth" on the night before the election and pray directly in, around, and over the area of our own polling place.

As the Blood of tne Lamb is applied to the premises, the enemy (not the people, but the principalities and powers) will not be able to enter in.

"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." (Matt. 16:19)

On Election Eve, as we each seek His face for direction in prayer, our Father will be faithful to answer our cry:

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." (John 10:27)

In Conclusion

Thank you all for standing in agreement with our Call to Prayer, to Repentance, and to Action. The prayer of agreement avails MUCH and, in this hour, we must stand united on the Word of God and the love of our Savior to see us through.

Tomorrow night, we will publish the final portoin of Mary Murphy's study on 2 Chronicles 7:14 -- a study of the promises that come when we come before our Lord in repentance.

May our Lord grant each one of you His grace, His strength, His blessing of good health, and His joy in the amazing week that now awaits us all.

In His Amazing Grace,
Sara C.Ballenger, Founder and President
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners

4. Israel Needs You! - BridgesforPeace.com

Overall, one could say it hasn't been a very good week for Israel, at least on the interfaith front. Between the synod of Catholic bishops and evangelical Stephen Sizer, it seemed that the tension couldn't get any worse. Then came the Presbyterian call for divestment. Israel has been slandered, delegitimized, and ostracized from seemingly every corner of the Christian world. The underlying disregard for biblical scholarship in each of these instances is alarming, as it is an apparent return to blatant replacement theology.

For decades now, many evangelical Christians have engaged in relationship-building with Israel. We have claimed to be true friends, advocates, and supporters, sincere and respectful in our desire to build a lasting relationship based on what we share in common. The time has obviously come for us to make good on our word. As Stephen Sizer and the Catholic bishops purport to speak for Christianity, it is imperative that we make our voices heard. Do we all agree with every decision Israel makes? Of course not. Do we think that Israel is infallible and can make no mistakes? Certainly not. Do we believe that Israel has a biblical, moral, and historical right to exist as a Jewish state, recognized as a sovereign nation by the global community, living in peace and safety free from international meddling? Unequivocally, yes we do.

Whether or not Christians would identify themselves as "Zionists" or even dispensationalists for that matter, we must recognize what is at stake here. It goes far beyond Jewish-Christian relations and even beyond the sovereignty of the state of Israel. If the Bible can no longer be trusted, we have nothing. It is God's integrity and the validity of His Word that are on the line. If this growing tide of anti-Israel sentiment in the Christian community bodes ill for Israel, I would suggest that the ramifications are even more ominous for the Church.

- Father, we stand firmly on Your Word as truth, and know that according to Scripture, You have not forgotten Israel. We are saddened that people who call themselves by Your Name have twisted Your Word so badly. We pray that Your truth will be shown in the nations, and that Your Word come to pass quickly for the sake of Israel.

- "And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. For this is My covenant to them, when I shall take away their sins." (Romans 11:26-27)

The Daily Jot

Unreliable voting machines and their reliable lying administrators

The Clark County, Nevada Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax has responded to accusations that voting machines are automatically marking Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on early voting ballots. Lomax told reporters he has "reconciled" five reported discrepancies, but he won't say how he fixed the problem. In fact, he is saying that its nobody's business until after the election and he can't guarantee there will not be more machines voting automatically for Reid. Lomax said, "I've been able to resolve it. I know what happened. But I'm not going to claim that at the end of the election I can account for every ballot. There will be unexplained votes on voting machines."

The legal counsel for the Nevada Republican Party has formally complained to the Nevada Secretary of State, a Democrat, that official early voting logs show the number of ballots cast are larger than the number of voters who signed the election registers. This has occurred at seven early voting sites. The Secretary of State says the discrepancies are "explainable." Indeed his securities administrator investigating the problem says, "I'm very satisfied with the answers that I am getting." So the Democrats, who are in charge of the voting machines, are investigating how their candidate is getting more votes than what's being cast. They are satisfied with answers and can explain it--but not until after the election.

Here the local Democratic Registrar of Voters is saying emphatically that there will be "unexplained votes on voting machines." The Democratic Secretary of State in Nevada says the discrepancies are "explainable" And the Democratic securities administrator who works for the Democratic Secretary of State says she is satisfied with the answers she is getting in her investigation of the irregularities. But all of them are saying they will not explain the unexplainable satisfactory answers until after the election. In addition, the technicians for the voting machines are Service Employees International Union members who gave over half a million dollars to defeat the Republican Senate candidate.

There are reports of voter problems in Illinois, New York, California, Minnesota, Arizona, North Carolina, Texas, and Missouri. Many of these states are dealing with whether to count absentee ballots of those serving in our military. Military members oft are considered conservative voters. This is exactly what Founding Fathers like Noah Webster warned about: "If our government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws." 1 John 2:22 says, "Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ?" Truth is found in Christ--not in voting machines and the liars who administer them.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Truth Cannot be Silenced

"This is an Iowan effort," Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) proclaimed as he kicked off day four of our Iowa "Judge Bus Tour" in Waterloo, Iowa. Protestors surrounded FRC Action PAC President Connie Mackey, but she did not allow the truth to be silenced. Connie's boldness drew cheers from supporters and praise from Rep. King who after the rally declared her to be an "oral pugilist." Our supporters, some with tears in their eyes, thanked the FRC Action team and the National Organization for Marriage for helping them take a stand against the radical judicial activism of the Iowa Supreme Court.

The "Judge Bus Tour" is also receiving extensive media coverage across the state as we make the point that a "no retention" vote will send a message to the federal courts now considering the marriage issue. Special thanks to Chuck Hurley, president of the Iowa Family Policy Center, who has also brought along some great Iowan speakers. I joined the tour this afternoon in Dubuque, Iowa where I joined Congressman King and Pastor John Hulsizer with the Church of the Nazarene. Tomorrow, the bus travels to Davenport, Burlington, Ottumwa, Pella, and then Des Moines for the final rally in front of the Iowa Supreme Court building. (Tony Perkins, FRC Action, 10/27/10)

Foreclosure Fraud Exposed: Lenders Own Up to Foreclosure Fraud

With some estimates predicting six million foreclosures in the next two years, statistics on the economy couldn't hit any closer to home - literally. Barry Zigas, director of housing policy for the Consumer Federation of America, told the Christian Science Monitor that expensive, subprime loans are not the main problem. "The biggest single cause of foreclosure today is loss of income or employment-related issues," he said.

Meanwhile, lawsuits on behalf of evicted homeowners are expected to multiply in the coming days as at least six states are looking into improper foreclosure practices. Some of the nation's largest creditors have admitted to faulty documentation and muddled procedures. Problems include incomplete paperwork, possible forgeries, questionable legal notarization, and multiple banks playing tug o' war over the same property. Confusion reached such a level that lenders and loan servicers are having second thoughts about past evictions and are putting current foreclosures on hold. The future is still unclear for borrowers who have lost their homes, but courts may require banks to reimburse legal costs in these cases.

- Give thanks for what has been revealed concerning fraudulent foreclosure practices and pray for increasing clarity and wisdom for lenders and borrowers. Pray for the Church to seek ways to reach out to family, friends and neighbors facing unemployment and eviction.

- "Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless. Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, "He won't call me to account"? But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand." (Psalm 10:12-14)

Bonds Sold at Negative Yield: Treasury Sells Bonds at Negative Yield

The Washington Post reports that the Treasury's sale of $10 billion of five-year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities at a negative yield on Monday is the first time ever that the yield has dipped below zero. The sale is a sign that investors are betting the Federal Reserve will be successful in creating inflation and jump-starting the economy. The Fed is wandering into new territory with its attempts to push up inflation, a tactic which Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke admits economists have relatively small experience in. (Washington Post)

- Pray for officials to have wisdom and prudence as they attempt to jump-start the struggling economy. (James 1:5) (Source: Intercessors for America)

Election News

Obama's Military Voting Scandal

Of all the scandals of the Obama administration - and there have been many, from unread legislation to czars with undefined powers to wasted stimulus money - perhaps the most frustrating is one unfolding now regarding absentee ballots to our troops. According to a Fox News report, "nearly a dozen states have struggled" to meet the deadlines set by federal law to get absentee ballots mailed to our troops overseas.

The problem appears to be worst in Illinois, where roughly one-third of the counties failed to get ballots mailed on time. Yet, Obama's Justice Department cut a deal with the state that gives most counties a pass. Six counties have been told to extend the deadline to return ballots. But according to Eric Eversole, a former attorney in the Justice Department's Voting Rights section who now runs the Military Voter Protection Project, "For at least 29 counties, there were absolutely no consequences."

This administration wants to run Wall Street, the big banks, car companies and our healthcare. But it either cannot or will not effectively administer a simple absentee ballot program to guarantee that our men and women fighting overseas have the opportunity to cast their votes in this critical election.

I am sure that it is completely coincidental that the military ballots were delayed this year - the same year the Obama White House and congressional Democrats decided to aggressively push allowing open homosexuality in the military. The Pentagon is reviewing surveys from our troops, and I suspect the White House is very aware of the intense negative feedback they are getting from our soldiers, feedback which would likely translate into votes against congressional liberals.

The media have been fretting lately about how the new Republican Congress might use its subpoena power to investigate the Obama Administration. I can't think of a better issue for Republicans to bring up first than this military voting scandal. Attorney General Eric Holder should be called to Capitol Hill and questioned under oath to determine why American heroes are losing their right to vote while Holder and Obama fight for constitutional rights for GITMO terrorists.

Election Prayers

PRAYER FOR THE CANDIDATES:

(Part Four of Four)

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance." (Ps. 33:12)

Dear Prayer Partners,

My prayer this final week before the election is that God's will would be done. His word says that He places those in authority in their positions. We have been so intimately involved this year, especially in so many races across the country, that I know Tuesday night will really be exciting. I am praying for each race that God would provide the energy and focus this last week.

Please also pray for protection for these candidates. There are so many negative ads out right now and negative mail pieces being dropped that I know can be discouraging when you read in a mail piece lies about yourself. Please pray just for the truth to prevail and for voters not to be blinded.

Sometimes we can feel overwhelmed, but God provides the manna we need daily. He gives us just what we need. I have been reminded this week of the first scripture verse that we claimed when we first ran for Congress . . . . It is in Jonah. "Those that cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs." So I am trusting God and turning the entire election over to Him and trusting Him with the outcome. I am casting my cares upon Him. And I eagerly anticipate the outcome knowing He is on His throne. What a comfort that is.

Thank you for praying. We rely on your prayers more than you know. -- From the wife of a member of Congress

The Good News Corner:

Woman walks after decades in wheelchair by miracle of God!

After 23 years in a wheelchair unable to walk after she was hit by a car, this lady was paralyzed until she was healed by the power of God after being prayed for at church. However, her Mother never stopped praying for her daughter, not even for a day.

It is noteworthy that this lady's mother never missed 1 day praying for her daughter before this miracle happened.

I want to encourage all to pray and faint not..to not give up and think it is too late for the person you are praying for. Hold on to your faith and take the promises of God very seriously, because He was and is very serious in making these promises His Word is Yea and Amen and He does watch over His Word to perform it. When we believe this Word we can know He will do it. He makes it happen..all glory to God. (Source of original: WIVB.com; Buffalo, New York. Source of commentary unknown)

1. A) NYPD Issues Threat Note After Va. Arrest - Fox News

The arrest Wednesday of a Virginia "Moslem" who thought he was aiding an Al Qaeda cult attack on the Washington, D.C., transit system is further proof that "radical jihadists" are inside the United States, and it's a reminder to cities around the country that ground transportation is still a "highly attractive" target for terrorists, according to a New York Police Department threat assessment obtained by Fox News.

B) Obama Suggests His Stance on Gay Marriage Could 'Evolve' - Fox News

Obama suggested Wednesday that his opposition to gay marriage is not set in stone, telling a group of bloggers he's thought a lot about the issue as more and more states expand the definition of marriage.

Obama stopped short of reversing his public stance, which so far has been in support of civil unions only. But he said pointedly that attitudes, including his, change.

- Father, we pray that truth prevail over everything Obama says, so that deception will not sway the American people. Let our nation not be deceived into thinking something is ok when it is not. We ask for a full revelation of Your truth to Obama so that he moves from a lack of understanding to the knowledge of Your Word in his heart.

5. After Midterm Elections, Congress Faces Likely Legislative Gridlock - Fox News

No matter which party comes out on top in next week's midterm elections, getting legislation through the next Congress will be an uphill battle at best and virtually impossible at worst.

EMERGENCY PRAYER FOR INDONESIA

PRAY for Indonesia: Earthquake-Tsunami-Volcano

Indonesia was hit by three violent natural disasters in just two days - an earthquake on Monday (October 25, 2010), a tsunami generated by the quake, and on Tuesday, the eruption of a volcano. The death toll is currently in the hundreds and is expected to rise.

The nation of Indonesia - a chain of more than 17,000 islands - is considered a "geological restless" area because of its location along a deep trench in the ocean where two of the Earth's plates meet. "Friction between the plates heats rock to the melting point, supplying the magma that wells up to form the volcanoes that dot the islands - and triggering earthquakes."

That is what happened on Monday, October 25, 2010. As the plates shifted off the west coast of Sumatra, a 7.7 earthquake was generated. This, in turn, created a 10-foot tsunami (tidal wave) that killed more than 100 people. Hours later, Sumatra's Mt. Merapi erupted, killing at least 18 people. Experts say this may be followed by more small eruptions or even one violent eruption.

Some scientists believe Monday's quake may have helped to ease the strain that has been mounting between the two deep-ocean plates. Others, however, are convinced that another larger earthquake (8.5 or above) could occur sometime in the near future.

PRAY FOR:

• the Lord to comfort all those who have lost loved ones and homes in this series of tragic events. (The Bible, Psalm 23:4)

• these disasters to be used to turn the eyes, minds and hearts of the people of Indonesia away from Islam and toward the salvation available in Jesus Christ. (The Bible, II Corinthians 4:4)

• Christian humanitarian agencies to provide food, clean water, shelter, medicine, and the Gospel to those who have been affected by the earthquake, tsunami and volcano. (The Bible, Proverbs 29:7)

• the light of Jesus Christ to shine brightly into this dark region. Pray for enemy strongholds to be toppled and for those in bondage to terrorism and false religions to be set free. (The Bible, Colossians 1:13)

• the Kingdom of God to come to Indonesia in not only word, but in great power. (The Bible, I Corinthians 4:20)

(Sources: Christian Science Monitor; WIN Prayer Alert)

YOU CAN DIRECTLY HELP THE VICTINS OF INDONESIA'S EARTHQUAKE, TSUNAMI, AND VOLCANO BY SENDING AN OFFERING TO THE HUMANITARIAN INTERNATIONAL SERVICES GROUP (HISG) BY GOING HERE.

Multibillionaire investor George Soros backs Legalizing Marijuana - LA Times

George Soros, the multibillionaire investor who helped bankroll three initiatives to change drug laws in California, endorsed the marijuana legalization initiative Monday and plans to make a major financial contribution to the campaign.

Sara - Re: George Soros using his wealth for evil: This week I taught on the Trespass Offering against God and Man. This sin of George Soros to use his money to promote evil would be a trespass sin. According to the Word (Lev. 5:16), the one who sins against God and/or Man must return full restitution plus 20% or 1/5th. I am calling in to the Kingdom a full restitution of all the money Soros has used for evil plus 20%.

Terrorist Plot Thwarted

Four Convicted of Homegrown Terrorist Plot

Four men were convicted by a federal court jury in Manhattan on Monday for scheming to fire heat-seeking missiles at military transport planes and bomb a Bronx synagogue and Jewish community center. The verdict took eight days of deliberation, ending a case that defense lawyers said "crossed the line of entrapment." The defendants - Onta Williams, Laguerre Payen, James Cromitie and David Williams IV - were arrested in May 2009 after collaborating for 11 months with Shahed Hussain, an F.B.I. informer posing as a member of the Pakistan-based terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammad.

- Give thanks for prevention of homegrown terrorist plots. Pray for authorities to discern what threats are real.

Court to Rule on Two First Amendment Cases

First, Schwarzenegger v. Entertainment will be heard on Tuesday (Nov. 2), concerning California's attempt to block the sale or rental of violent video games to minors. In 2005, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger imposed a fine of up to $1000 for violators who make graphic content such as Grand Theft Auto Vice City and Duke Nukem 3D (depicting characters being killed, maimed and dismembered) available to those under age 18, arguing that exposure can lead to aggressive behavior and psychological harm.

Second, Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization v. Winn will be heard next Wednesday (Nov. 3), over an Arizona law that allows residents to designate a portion of their taxes to non-profit school tuition programs, most of which is given to religious schools. Tens of millions of dollars in contributions have caused a group of taxpayers to question whether or not the Arizona tax system is indirectly engaging in religious discrimination and violating the First Amendment's Establishment Clause by permitting schools to select students for scholarships on the basis of religion.

- Pray for the youth of America, that they would grow up in a country where there would be protection from violence and not the celebration of it. Pray for an accurate interpretation of the First Amendment and the "establishment clause."

- "Do not accuse a man for no reason- when he has done you no harm. Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways." (Proverbs 3:30-31) (Source: Intercessors for America)

Election News

Midterm Elections Fast Approaching

Change is coming to Capitol Hill. The questions are how much change, and of what kind.

Republicans seem all but guaranteed to take control of the House of Representatives, but political analysts say it's much less likely that they will be able to gain control of the Senate also. If those predictions come true, it will be the first time since the 1930 election that the House has changed hands without the Senate following suit

At least 90 Democrat-controlled seats in the House are up for grabs in this election, with only nine GOP-controlled seats in a tossup. Republicans need to gain at least 39 seats to get a majority in the House. Only five Senate slots are considered a tossup, all of which the GOP would likely need to win in order to pick up the 10 seats necessary for a Senate majority.

Early voting has begun in many places, and reports from Nevada indicate that some voters found that Harry Reid's name was pre-selected on the electronic voting machines, raising concerns of glitches or fraud.

Candidates from both parties have shattered spending records in this year's campaigns, totaling nearly $2 billion-or about $4 million per congressional seat up for grabs.

Politics Daily has a breakdown of which races to watch in the next week.

- Pray for godly candidates to be granted favor, resources, campaign workers and objective media coverage. Pray for voting machines to tally votes correctly, and against any attempts to manipulate the elections through fraud or other schemes.

- Intercede for mercy and good government for this election season - that voters would take the time to examine candidates, positions and issues on the basis of truth, virtue, character and conscience.

- "The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight. For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisers make victory sure." (Proverbs 11:1, 14)
