Comm #14: It's Been There All The Time
Good morning, our cherished American pastors and ministry leaders. We thank God for you, watching as huge numbers of you have faithfully prepared for today's election. Joan here, and today please know how many folks across the country stand with you.
Sidebar... I'd wondered if something was true, and just this morning read that it was - that our country has always had a small but noisy subgroup that wanted to silence the Church out of public life! (see Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, and the early National Liberal League).
Not new then, after all.
In answer to Thomas Paine, the Founders boldly voiced a defense of faith as being the absolute necessary guide for government, and I mean they were loud, unified, and sure in that defense. As each generation after them did. Until they didn't so much, and silence set in.
The voice of the Church was there all the time, just squelched more and more.
But ah, now!! Now!! Do you know the revival of faith and confident voice that's growing? We hear about this all the time - pastors and saints speaking out with a fresh first love. Our voice has been there all the time and now it's being lifted up and sent out.
Today the Church will speak. Every vote is needed. The polls are OFF. And there's concern over potential fraud. So each single vote matters very much indeed.
We know you've been telling your congregations to vote. Thank you and God bless you.
-Joan

Now from coalition member and President of Faith Wins, Chad Connelly, an update from the road…
There's just not more to tell you.
You've been inundated with political ads on your TV, your computer, and even your cell phone. You've read polls, predictions, and prognostications until you're tired of it all. I'll be brief and ask you the same question I've been asking myself.
Have I done everything I could to fight for and defend my values in this election?
Are you sure your church, your family, and your friends are all voting? If you're not positive, there is one more thing you could do.
Make 10 phone calls, for that matter make 20! Let's leave nothing unfinished, and do all you can to turn out 100% of the Christian vote! God is in control, and he is on the throne, but he expects us to do our part.
I've just left Pennsylvania doing what our team could until the last moment. I'm praying right now that everyone reading this is doing the same thing. God bless y'all and God bless America!

Hi all, it's Kielle here, and reading about this new concept of identifying a Red Mirage - a tactic to subdue turnout numbers and offer the opposition a reason to decry any challenges to ballot counts. It's just another distraction to thwart voters from getting to the polls on election day...ignore it!
It's more imperative tomorrow than ever that every, single person vote!!! No matter what, no matter how close to the deadline on election night, get your vote in and counted, and please tell everyone you know to do the same!!
With dedicated prayers covering you,
-Kielle
