POLITICAL SALT

Adding spiritual salt to the meat of politics... in the pursuit of good government.

 

"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt,
so that you may know how you should respond to each person."

- Colossians 4:6

This "voice in the desert" is born out of a heart to see Arizona and our nation return to God. Along with friends who join with me to contribute experience and insight in the pursuit of good government, we will address many of the difficult political issues of the day. Through November 7, this will also serve as a blog for "SIEGE I" and "SIEGE II" times of prayer and fasting for good government, restoration and revival for our state and nation.

Not Return Empty

SIEGE 2, DAY 14: An amazing truth is revealed by God about Himself in Isaiah 55:11... "So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it." When God speaks - the Creator Who spoke and brought the universe into existence - there is always an attendant effect. Something happens. His purpose is carried out everytime.

Is it possible that when we pray according to His will, we become His mouth? Who are the prophets? Who are the intercessors? Who are the Daniels, Davids, Esthers, and Elijahs of today? "The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much... Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain; and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the sky poured rain, and the earth produced its fruit." (James 5:16b-18)
