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

Prayer Changes History

SIEGE 2, DAY 22: Today we gathered for the Sunday at the Capitol event, where we continue to worship God and pray on-site for good government. At one point, passages in 2 Chronicles 32 were presented. King Hezekiah is faced with an essentially impossible situation. Sennacherib and the Assyrians are coming to make war with Jerusalem. Hezekiah first brings encouragement to his people: "Be strong and courageous, do not fear or be dismayed because of the king of Assyria, nor because of all the multitude which is with him; for the one with us is greater than the one with him. With him is only an arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles." Soon afterward... "King Hezekiah and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed about this and cried out to heaven. And the Lord sent an angel who destroyed every mighty warrior, commander and officer in the camp of the king of Assyria... So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side." Prayer changes history.
