Prayer and Responsibility in Elections
Prayer can have a profound influence on events—including elections. In the video below, Archbishop Steven Lyn Evans and Bishop Steven Bellant share a compelling testimony from Louisiana last year.
At the time, Louisiana Senator Valarie Hodges was trailing in the polls and expected to lose. After Archbishop Steven and Bishop Steven attended a meeting and prayed with her, Bishop Steven noted, “That prayer session changed the election; she went from being behind in the polls to winning with 63% of the vote.”
As important elections approach in both the UK and the US this year, we want to encourage everyone—not only to pray—but to take personal responsibility by casting your vote. Your voice matters, and using your vote is a vital part of shaping our nations’ futures.
We also call on all TICCN members and friends to pray—regardless of political affiliation—for everyone involved in these elections. Let us pray for wisdom, safety, peace, and for the right leaders to be raised up in accordance with God’s will.
Together, let’s be faithful in prayer and responsible in action.
As leaders in the Church it’s important to engage in politics so we can have a voice into social issues that affect the communities we serve in. TICCN Bishop Michael Fleming for example, has made several appearances on television, radio, and in newspapers recently highlighting issues such as the danger of nitazenes and raising awareness of policies that impact the people he meets daily through Church on the Street.
