Perspectives on the American national election and a 24/7 opportunity to pray for the USA

Written by

1) God Save America - Miracle Headline in One of Australia’s Biggest Newspapers

The Daily Telegraph is Australia’s second largest daily newspaper, comparable to the New York Times, ran a headline before the US election result was announced, which said; God Save America. This anti-God secular newspaper had no idea that this was exactly the prayer of both Australian and American Christians who have been praying in unity in the lead up to the American Election. Australian Christians called for prayer from all over the world for the American elections at a ‘Sunrise Prayer Relay’ on Tuesday 8 November 2016. Australia is 18 hours ahead of the USA.

Warwick Marsh from the National Day of Prayer and Fasting in Australia said, “We congratulate Donald Trump on his win but America does not need Clinton or Trump. America needs God. That is why we are so excited about the headline ‘God Save America’ because that is still our prayer. We are praying for Revival and Transformation in America and a release of the Gospel in the USA. America needs Jesus.”

Pat Steele from the Sunrise Prayer Relay in Australia said; “I believe America is at the beginning of a great awakening. The verse I have for America is Isaiah 43:19, “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” I feel that this election result will be the shock that people need to shake the dust off their eyes to know they need saving and reviving. It is only God who can lead them out of the wilderness and wash away the wasteland with His stream.”

Steele continued. “That is why Warwick and I are pretty excited about the headline of the paper today, "God save America". Yes, we might be reading this out of the context of the article, but it reminds me of Balaam in Numbers 23 who was paid by the Moabites to curse Israel but when he opened his mouth to speak he prophesied blessing over them and hope for the future instead. Our God is the God who saves, He is a miracle working God and He is alive, God save America, Amen!!!”

Thanks to our dear friends, the Aussies, for standing with us in prayer for the USA’s national election and let’s agree and pray that this word about revival which many others have also prophesied will indeed begin to happen!

Here is another prophetic word about radical change coming to America:

2) "The Uprising is Coming!"
by Chuck D. Pierce, Corinth, TX

Highlights from Chuck Pierce's prophetic video "The Uprising is Coming!" released on November 7, 2016:

  • "This election is not about a person – it's about a structure just as if you were an old wineskin – where one day too long that wineskin routinizes around you and it's like cement and you can't get out of it.
  •  "This election is not about a person – it's about breaking out of a structure. If we stay in the structure we're in one more season, it will be so routinized and so ordered around us that we cannot as a nation come out of it.
  • "Decree and vote for what will break you out of an old structure!
  •  "I say there is a new anointing rising in my people, and from the new anointing you will rise up and see the opportunities that I have for you. For right now opportunities seem blocked, but I say to you there is an uprising coming! There is an uprising coming! There is an uprising coming! It has been brewing underneath, but now you will see the uprising," sayeth the Lord!
  • The Lord just said, "If you knew how close you were to the revolution of change that is coming, you would not be able to keep your mouth shut one moment!"
  • The Lord said, "Do not hold your peace from this day forward – for the next five months you will hear, 'Peace! Peace!' but there is no peace. 
  •  The Lord says, "The sword of Heaven is coming to liberate the ground and My people must have the sound that liberates the ground."
  •  I say to you I will come from the Islands and I will blow a wind. I will come from both sides of this land with a wind that will cause what couldn't stand to fall. I say to you the winds are now circling from Heaven and will now surround the lands of the earth. I say to you welcome the winds in for the change and the revolution of change is now at hand!

3) An admonition from a Romanian prayer leader:

A Word from the Lord

January 20 – The Second day for the Battle

November 8th was the Glorious Day, a Miracle from God. The People of God received the right to fight for their lives, families, communities, towns and cities and nations all over the world and especially in USA (the leading nation of nations, or Capital Susa following the parable of the book of Esther.

The adversary is regrouping, buy time with nice and politically correct discourses, but is preparing to fight back.

Friday, January 20, 2017, the Inauguration Day is the Second Day for the Battle. The Second Day for the Battle is to secure the victory of Nov 8 for the People of God in USA.

Friday January 20, 2017 is the Day for Battle. Prepare, be Ready, Unite and Fight for the future of you, your children and grandchildren, for the future of this great nation ad the entire world. The adversary has not legal right to return and harm again this nation.

I pray this message will receive the confirmation of the Body of Christ in USA. May you as the spiritual leaders adapt, share and act accordingly?

4) A thoughtful perspective on the situation after the American election

The Day After Election Day

by John Stonestreet

For most Americans, the results of Tuesday’s presidential elections came as a shock, even a surprise, and for many, a bit of a relief. That feeling of relief is understandable. While there’s no way to be sure what will happen over the next four years, Christians may very well have gained a reprieve in areas such as religious freedom and attempts to impose the new sexual orthodoxy and gender ideology on our schools.

So relief? Yes. But I’d caution against elation, because what happened on Tuesday was more of a reprieve than a vindication. A close read of Tuesday’s results, beyond the presidential race, shows that the cultural trends we’ve been talking about on BreakPoint for years continue unimpeded. The saddest example is Colorado voters’ approval of doctor-assisted suicide by a two-to-one margin. I warned on this broadcast that so-called “right to die” invariably becomes a duty to die. I reminded my fellow Coloradans that in a state currently in the midst of an epidemic of teen suicide, approving doctor-assisted suicide sends the wrong message.

But it didn’t matter. The siren song of unlimited personal autonomy and self-definition proved irresistible to a large majority of Coloradans.

And a similar dynamic was at work in the various ballot initiatives concerning marijuana. Voters in California, Massachusetts, and Nevada joined Colorado and Washington in legalizing marijuana outright. As of this writing, the result in Maine is too close to call, although supporters of legalization have already declared victory.

Meanwhile, voters in Florida, Arkansas and North Dakota approved so-called “medical marijuana” use. I say “so-called” because if history is any indication, these laws amount to legalization by just another name.

Only Arizona, thanks largely to the efforts of the Council for Arizona Policy, bucked the trend for legalized weed. So, all in all this was a bad night for the idea that human good involves something other than unlimited personal freedom and pleasure.

And no matter how much relief we feel over the defeat of what would certainly have been a radically pro-choice, anti-religious freedom Clinton administration, the serious moral concerns about the man who was just elected president remain, as do the serious moral concerns about the nation that elected him, and those evangelical leaders who went on record saying that character no longer matters in a leader.

So where does all this leave us today? How will we use this reprieve? Well first of all, we should, as the Bible instructs us, pray for those in authority. We should also pray for President-Elect Trump to surround himself with wise and godly counselors, and to act justly, wisely, and rightly.

Beyond that we should support any of his policies that promote the common good. We should urge him to protect the unborn, as well as those who believe in traditional marriage, and to safeguard religious freedom.

But what we can’t do is fall prey to the political illusion. As Chuck Colson liked to say, the Kingdom of God never arrives on Air Force One. Too often Christians lose sight of this basic truth and have allowed themselves to become court preachers instead of prophets.

But prophets we must be. The church’s duty is to speak truth to power, especially when the power doesn’t want to hear it. If Jesus is Lord, no one else is. Now today on BreakPoint.org, we’ve created a symposium on the Church and the election…to answer the question: “What has the 2016 election revealed about the state of the Church and its place in American culture, and how ought we (the American Church) move forward from here?" You’ll want to read what our contributors have to say. Again, visit BreakPoint.org to check out our symposium, “The Election and the Church.”
