Election Day in America has historically been one of the U.S.’s more exciting days, but in recent years, it’s been a bit more turbulent. Of course, leading up to the big day everyone expects plenty of heated debate—among candidates and voters alike—with all the campaigning, comparing, contrasting and commercializing. That’s typically been part of the healthy political process of maintaining America’s democratic-republic form of government.
What’s concerning, however, is what seems to have begun trending during this process—namely intense negativity. As believers, what better time for us to step up and start confessing God’s Word! The Apostle Paul reminds us that we can always count on victory being within reach, if we confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts (see Romans 10:9).
The key to victory—in any race in life—is in our mouths and our hearts (spirits). They’re always close by, and together, they’re designed by God to produce great results in our lives. They put action to the faith we have to see things change (Mark 11:22-24.)
So, during this election season—a time when we can determine the course of our nation—you can help counteract the negative chatter about candidates, country and the competition. You can help silence the venting, ranting and promoting of hate, judgment, condemnation, fear, doubt and hopelessness. Simply believe, then give voice to life, blessing and hope as you Confess LIFE Over America.
Speak the Declarations of Faith today:
- America is established in righteousness—since the time of its inception until now (Isaiah 54:14), America continues to be one nation under God!
- Jesus is Lord over America—and as a nation, we call on the Name of Jesus and we are saved (Romans 10:9-13; 1 Corinthians 12:3).
- Every knee in America bows, and every tongue confesses that Jesus is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11)!
- America overcomes the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony—Jesus is Lord (Revelation 12:11)!
- No weapon formed against America shall prosper—and every tongue that rises against it in judgment shall be condemned. This is our heritage as a nation because our righteousness is from the Lord (Isaiah 54:17).
- The Lord rescues America—He protects us because we trust in His Name. He answers us when we call on Him and is with us in trouble. He rescues and honors us. He rewards us with a long history and gives us His salvation (Psalm 91:14-16).
- I am a dual citizen—a citizen of America and a citizen of heaven. Therefore, I exercise my spiritual authority over Satan and his forces as one who is seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion (Ephesians 1:21, 2:6, 6:12).
- Wisdom abides in the hearts and minds of America’s leaders—at federal, state and local levels; in executive, legislative and judicial branches. The Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and the fear of the Lord is upon them. They do not judge according to what their eyes see or make decisions according to what their ears hear; they judge by righteousness (Isaiah 11:2-4).
- The voices of influence in America’s politics change—voices of influence in this nation are influenced by, aligned with and speak according to God’s will. Our elected officials and leaders hear and follow the voice of the Good Shepherd (God’s Word), and the voice of the stranger they will not follow (John10:4-5, 27).
- God has set before us life and death, blessing and cursing—and America chooses life (Deuteronomy 11:26-28, 30:19-20). Believers speak out as boldly as lions for what is right and against what is wrong, and there is no moral rot within our nation (Proverbs 28:1-2).
- The foundation of marriage is restored in America—perverse ideas and lifestyles are no longer glorified. Rather, truth and righteousness, and strong and healthy marriages are held in honor and centered around God’s Word (Genesis 2:24; Hebrews 13:14).
- America is filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord—from coast to coast and border to border; in all halls of government, from Washington, D.C. and our state capitals to our county seats and city halls (Habakkuk 2:14).
- All elected and appointed officers of government in America hunger and thirst for righteousness—and rivers of living water flow from them (Matthew 5:6; John 7:38).
- God raises up godly men and women to serve in America’s offices of government—men and women who are strong in Him and in the power of His might, who are capable, honest, fear God and hate bribes (Ephesians 6:10; Exodus 18:21).
- God pours out His Spirit on all people in America (Joel 2:13; Acts 2:17-19).
In this election season, let your voice be heard in the heavens and throughout the earth. And come Election Day—let it be heard at the polls. Confess LIFE Over America and give voice to your faith in the victory God has for us in America!
