Weekly Watch Focus: Midterm Elections Final Days

FRIDAY, Nov. 1, 2014, Only a few days remain until midterm elections take place on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014. Key congressional and gubernatorial choices will be made as well as state and local offices. Let us keep praying for these elections through election day. Bind fraud and media manipulations. Pray that the elections are peaceful and honest. For the sake of our next generation, let us pray that God will help us choose candidates who honor our Judeo-Christian values and help secure a healthy economy based on sound, biblical principles. More than 90 million Americans remain jobless. Millions of our youth are also facing joblessness, yoked with the pressure of student loans coming due. 

With the real shadow of an Ebola pandemic threatening us, pray that our leaders are able to secure our borders. Let us continue to lift up the nations of West Africa devastated by the spread of Ebola.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."

Num. 16:46-48, “So Moses said to Aaron, ‘Take a censer and put fire in it from the altar, put incense on it, and take it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the Lord. The plague has begun.” Then Aaron took it as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and already the plague had begun among the people. So he put in the incense and made atonement for the people. And he stood between the dead and the living; so the plague was stopped.’”
