I believe we will see God's power in the land of the living!

I was surfing around last night, something I have not done in I don't know how long, and came across this post. It's really encouraging to come across a blog of someone you don't even know and hear the same things coming from their blog that is on your heart and want to spread to everyone who will listen. I have been praying in the seclusion of my home that God would put this on the hearts of believers around the country, and I am beginning to see it.

I pray you will make this commitment over these last few days of this election. I do believe this will be a historical election in one or two ways. We may see the first black president, or we will see the power of God over money, media, lies, deception, and man's ways to reveal His power especially when His people humble themselves and call on His name to do something they cannot do. We are powerless, but He is all-powerful. David beat Goliath, Gideon won a battle 135,000 to 300, and many more battles were fought in the old testament where the underdog won because God was on his side.

Jehosaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 cries out to God saying, "For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you." God said to him, "Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the Battle is not yours, but God's... You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you...Do not be afraid; do not be discourages. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the lord will be with you."

Jehosaphat then, "appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying, 'Give thanks to the Lord for his love endures forever.' As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Minnon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated."

I believe this battle is already won if we as Christians will stay on our knees crying out to Him for our country; seeking forgiveness for ourselves and our countrymen and His people; and then begin to praise Him for what He can do and what He is going to do. I believe we are going to see his power like we have never seen before in the land of the living, and the world will know that it is God.
