As we roll into the last two weeks before the election, we who love the Lord and His Land and America need to be fasting and praying for His Will in this election. I’m glad to see that many others have recognized this precipice as well, who are also calling for fasting and prayer:

While the results of the election will affect America, first and foremost, it will also have resounding effects on Israel and the Middle East.
If John McCain is elected, Israel knows they will continue to have the strong support of the United States. His foreign/defense policies are well-known, and it will be unlikely that Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah will test his metal.
But if Barack Obama is elected — anything over there is possible. First off, Obama is already very perceived as being weak on defense. Radical Islam is emboldened by weak, pacificist leaders in the West.
Not only will the Islamic terrorists be emboldened, but Russia will be as well. They have ALREADY tested Obama and McCain in the recent invasion of Georgia. McCain immediately reacted with a show of strength and fortitude, while Obama pleaded for a cease-fire and coolheads, saying, “Can’t you all just get along?”
McCain follows after Roosevelt with his soft speech but big stick.
But his opponent, the left-loving Obama, speaks loudly, but carries a small stick.
