Pray Vote Stand Summit 2022

 


PrayVoteStand 2022 provided ideas on current events. This educational summit covered topics related to families and personal choices. On the evenings of Wednesday, September 14 and Friday, September 16, the room was filled with praise and worship by the FBA choir. On Thursday, September 15 and Friday, September 16, our morning sessions were started with praise by the FBA Praise Team. Thank you for setting the tone for the summit.

 Pray:

Many sessions started and/or ended with prayer. Anne Graham Lotz began with a prayer for the attendees that as we are given information, we would receive this information. A prayer for Your truth and for eyes to see what is going on around us. Anne challenged our focus with one example and one Bible teaching. The example centered on receiving a package wrapped in brown paper. Listen to her session for the complete example. Her question, “are we focusing on the brown package or the treasure inside?”

Anne, the founder of AnGeL Ministries, continued her challenge with the six “woes” in Isaiah chapter 5:8, 11, 18, 20, 21, 22 and the answer in chapter 6.  When crises erupt look up, look up to the Lord, John 12, Jesus is on the throne. We need a fresh vision of Christ! When we pray, we are appealing to the highest authority in the university. No one is higher. No problem that we individually or as a nation encounter is greater than He. Isaiah 6:5, We all need to LOOK UP!!! Jesus, bring to my mind the sin that is hindering Your plans for my life. What have I been missing?  View Anne Graham Lotz heart sharing message and read her book Stormingthe Gates of Heaven. I purchased Anne’s book at The Book Store at FirstBaptist Church Atlanta.

Stand:

“As long as I am your Governor, we will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with you to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves and protect the God-given potential of each and every Georgian who calls the Peach State home.” Brian Kemp in the Forward, pg 3, The Church’s Moment, by Cole Muzio. This is a Georgia and national issue.

We stand together, secular and church groups, single people and families, with one goal in mind; to make America a country for ALL people. We are in a spiritual battle for our families, our children, Isaiah 37:20.

The exhibitors shared their services and offered suggestions on how to serve our communities. A few of the exhibitors:

Conversation Balloons podcast Leah Farish

the Pregnancy center Pat Page, Executive Director

PublicSq. connecting Americans by offering “The Marketplace” and “The Community”

 iVoterGuide grounded in God, rooted in research

Frontline Policy "…But the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. "Daniel 11:32


ShareHealthcare the new way to show you care about medical costs

 After listening to the speakers and talking with the exhibitors, my conclusion is that we are all created wanting the same things: security, belonging, and worth. Since, in my belief system, I was created in the image of God, Genesis 1:26-27; only God can meet my needs. Please read the following for more encouraging words:

 Joshua was called to lead into unknown territory, “Be strong and courageous…” Joshua 1:6, 7, 9, 18, 10:25, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Psalm 23, Isaiah 25, Jeremiah 29:11, 33:3, John 3:16-17, 14:6

 Why politics? Politics or politicians make policies and policies affect ALL families and/or single people.
