It has long been known that history repeats itself. The oft quoted quip of Santayana has been stated in many ways since, but it still stands that “Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.” The things of the past are our tutors. We lean and trust on those with silver crowns because its by their wisdom and experience that we learn the lessons of life and good decision making. We also learn from histories how nations stand and how they fall by searching out their strengths and weaknesses—what their leaders stood for and what they stood against. Those who fail to do so throw caution to the wind and their leadership is marked out by the fickleness of emotionalism, narcissism, the lusts of the flesh, and a thirst for success and power rather than the discipline of the soul; moreover, whether in their day or in the days that follow destruction eventually ensues.

 Today, Friday September 28, 2012 marks exactly 40 Days to the most pivotal election season in American history. Regardless of who wins or loses, America is in a horrible place…and spiritually decadent or lost. In some instances (not all) we are not unlike the Northern Kingdom of Israel, which had no good king and bowed down to the false gods of this corrupt world. The soul of America – corporate and personal – is in mortal danger. For the next forty days, until the November 6 General Elections, a growing number of U.S. Christian ministries have called for and are actively engaged in Intercessory Prayer; Fasting and Crying Out in desperation to the ONLY One who can redeem and change us – the HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.
