One of the Best Emails
ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT at 9 P.M.
This is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced, and from the looks of the polls, the Christians aren't voting Christian values. We all need to be on our knees.
Do you believe we can take God at His word? Call upon His name, then stand back and watch His wonders unfold. This scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do that. We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land. This election is the scariest I remember in my lifetime.
2 Chronicles 7:14. 'If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.'
During WWII, there was an adviser to Churchill, who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute, to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect, as bombing stopped.
There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America .The United States of America, and our citizens, need prayer more than ever!!! If you would like to participate, each evening at 9:00 P.M. Eastern Time (8 PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific), stop whatever you're doing, and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the upcoming election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land, and that Christianity will grow in the U.S.
The good thing about prayer (especially a one minute prayer) is that no matter what you're doing at 9 PM, you can still "think" a prayer and the Lord will Hear. Even if you get a phone call about that time, or someone comes to your door, etc......The Lord will still hear that prayer that is on your heart, and in your mind. AWESOM E !!!!

SHTP thanks Apostle Claver for his opening charge for the
VOTER'S RALLY. He spoke about being careful with our political associations and he also reminded us that it is a citizen's responsibility to hold elected officials accountable.
We wish to thank all the SHTP
members and local citizens who submitted questions for the candidates. An independent group spent hours reviewing and scheduling the questions.
For the three events, the questions were presented to the candidates by Donna Pinon, Moderator, and Larry Crippen (KSAM). Thank you both for your participation.
