On the Wall with My Weapon and My Duty
Pastor Steve Riggle
Founding Senior Pastor, Grace Church
Over the next two weeks Americans will be heading to the polls. The future direction of our nation will be decided by those who win the elections. Both sides have told us where they intend to take us. The direction could not be more polar opposite, depending on who wins. The cry for Marxism, socialism, and Islamic control are loud and sustained. The cries to destroy our system of capitalism that has given every person who wants it, an opportunity to pursue a life that is the envy of the world are unbelievable. The vitriol against those who are running to preserve the traditional family, life, Godly values and the American way of life is at a level I have never seen.
It begs the question…WHAT SHOULD THE RIGHTEOUS DO?
Nehemiah’s charge to the attacks and threats in his day serve us well in our day. Take your place on the wall, take your weapon in one hand and with the other, accomplish the task that is set before you.
In other words,
STAND BOLDLY…refuse to be intimidated by those who want to destroy our nation and silence your voice.
USE YOUR WEAPON OF INTERCESSION…pray through Psalms 140-144–David’s cries against his enemies and for God’s intervention. Let those words become the cries of the Godly in our nation against the AntiChrist spirit trying to destroy our society. You can “pray the Word” over our nation every day in a matter of minutes.
MAKE SURE YOU VOTE FOR CANDIDATES WHO WILL PRESERVE OUR HISTORIC VALUES…check out where every candidate stands. Don’t be fooled by slick and misleading rhetoric. Help the candidates by working the polls for them. Everything of the preservation of our nation depends on you.
I am asking every pastor to put out something like this to your congregation and your sphere of influence. Let’s not be silent or give in to the “it’s political” label.
IT IS TIME WE STAND…
IT IS TIME WE PRAY…
IT IS TIME WE ACT….VOTE EARLY!
