There has been a call to prayer
in Kansas for some years now. We have several congressional leaders who
are Christian and they solicit our prayers. When I was at the pastors'
briefing at Topeka two weeks ago I met Donna Lippoldt. Donna is the
Culture Shield Network founder, National Day of Prayer Coordinator of
Kansas, and National Governors Prayer Team Leader of Kansas. In these
positions Ms Lippoldt has had great influence in our state to challenge
and inform churches to pray for and support righteousness in
government. She is a very courageous woman and highly respected by the
Christian community at the capital. The theme of the Culture Shield
Network is inform>connect>mobilize the body of Christ to be the moral
conscience of our culture. I have been getting her frequent emails for
quite a while now. Anyone can sign up for these at
www.cultureshield.com.
God answers prayer! The promises in God's Word are for us to claim as
we seek God's will in our lives. Jeremiah 33:3 says: "Call unto me and
I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you do not
know." St. Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (NIV) "I urge, then, first of
all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for
everyone-- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live
peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is a very
crucial election year. I urge all to pray for God to rule and over-rule
in our nation's affairs that we as a nation will seek after God and His
will. Make sure you pray for God's leadership and vote. Your vote does
count! |
