Look around you. Most people are nervous. They are anxious. Some are even afraid. All you have to do is mumble something about the election or personal freedoms and all kinds of emotions bubble to the surface.
I wrote a book about the challenge of fighting spiritual battles. Praying for America and the Army of God spent a lot of time building the reader’s confidence that he/she was called by God. Passionate prayers coupled with a God-given project can change the world. I encouraged readers to use their talents, do what they can, and trust God to do the rest.
In the last three weeks, everyone has asked, “What do I do now?” Because of that question, I developed a plan. First, I fasted and prayed. Then I wrote letters and talked with professionals.
It does no good whatsoever, to sit on the sidelines and whine. I understand why some of you want to turn the TV off and pull the covers over your head. You are just one person. Maybe you are too busy. You feel too old and too tired. You don’t know how to fix the massive problems our country faces. And…more importantly…you are afraid. You want a free and safe country, not one filled with socialism and fear. But because of the massive problems with 2020 and the issues with the election – you are afraid that you have lost your country. I have great news for you….YOU HAVE NOT LOST AMERICA.
I get it. I understand how you feel and how hard it is to resist the negative voices around you. Yet, the worst thing you can do for yourself and your depression is to sit on the sidelines and believe the enemy when he declares you have lost. The second worse action is to pretend you are trusting God to do it all. Scriptures demand that God will only do what you can’t do. If you sit there and do nothing – God will do nothing.
“What do I do now?” There are plenty of things to do. There are plans that can and will change our lives, our communities, and our country. Some details are still under research and will come later. Some can be shared within the next few days. We are not helpless. We are not victims. We are powerful and will not allow our country to be stolen. But we do have to get busy with a plan.
Step one is to listen to this 37-minute talk titled “You’ve got the ball” by Dr. Ken Crocker. It will inspire you and help you to understand that if you are working, God is working and miracles will happen!
