Dutch Sheets' Response to the 2022 Elections: 'The Coming Awakening Will Create a Hunger for God's Word of Truth'"How does what took place yesterday affect the awakening/revival we speak of? It does not. Everything God has said He will do, will be done. America shall be saved. God's heart is for harvest—the salvation of many—and He will have this. His intent is to extend the Kingdom rule of His Son, and He will do so. My faith for these things has never been in a political party or a person, only in God. He is going to give us the outpouring of His Spirit we have interceded for..." -Dutch Sheets
The final outcome is not yet known for all races in yesterday's elections. It looks like the Republicans will take control of the House, but not with as large a majority as they expected. The outcome in the Senate is still undetermined. Obviously, the Republicans did not see the red wave they and many pollsters believed was coming. Both parties are spinning the elections as a win, the Republicans because they took the House (it seems), the Democrats because they avoided the red wave and possibly kept the Senate (though the Senate has been tied at 50-50, they own the tie-breaker with Kamala Harris' vote). What do I make of all this spiritually? Though I am disappointed, I am not as surprised as most conservatives. I did not have the confidence some held that a red wave was coming. I described my pre-election feelings as "a cautious optimism." Though I obviously believe fully in the power of prayer, the power it releases does not force people to do things against their will. God won't "make" a person vote a certain way. Authority in prayer does stop or hinder demonic forces that influence people's thinking, and it does release heavenly influence to change people's minds. It does not, however, force this change. The changing of minds usually takes time; it is a process. Prayer releases spiritual power to generate and fuel this process. This means that where people's wills are concerned, our prayers release God's process of change, not a dictatorial forcing of it. In other words, God can't turn an election just because we ask Him to, any more than He can instantly change a person's mind simply because we ask.
Father, we have placed our hope for the restoration of America in You and You alone. We desire a wise and righteous government, just as You do, but our faith for America's salvation is not in this. We will continue to intercede for change in our government, media, education, children, churches, unbelievers, etc. We desire the fruit this will produce. But our faith is in none of these things; our faith is in You alone. Give our leaders wisdom. Give sound ideas and strategies to those who fight for life—those who are working for the restoration of decency. Overthrow and remove those who oppose You and war against Your guidance and influence. Keep exposing the evil in our government, media and education system. We pray these things in Christ's name. Amen. Our decree: We decree that we will not grow weary in our righteous efforts and causes. We will persevere, and through faith and patience, inherit God‘s promises.
