In 42 days, we will pick a new President of the United States, Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and a third of our U.S. Senate. We will also cast ballots for governors, state legislators, judges, and local officials. What America will look like on November 7 is up to you!

“Revival preceded the American Revolution,” said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel. “America was birthed in a prayer meeting led by our Founding Fathers.”

After dissention arose among the Revolutionary leaders following the Revolutionary War about the proper form of government and all hope seemed lost, Benjamin Franklin arose and said, “Have we now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need His assistance?” The Founding Fathers convened a three-day prayer meeting, returned to the business of the Constitution, and America was born. 

“Perhaps, not since that prayer meeting has America been in more need of Eternal assistance,” Mat Staver said.

Liberty Counsel is joining with Christian leaders across the country and asking you to exercise your faith for the preservation of Christian freedoms and values in America.

Beginning on September 28 and continuing through November 6, 40 Days to Save America is issuing a national call to prayer, fasting, and repentance.

Now, as in the days of the Founding Fathers, America’s destiny rests in God’s hands. Our nation faces multiple crises - pending economic collapse, moral disintegration, and international terrorism. Our God-given rights are imperiled on all sides.

Join us September 28 through November 6 in prayer with 40 Days to Save America before this important election. Let us humble ourselves, repent, seek God’s guidance, and ask for the renewal of America.

Dr. Elmer Towns has written a 40-day devotional to go along with 40 Days to Save America. Below is the Day 1 devotional. Go to the 40 Days to Save America link at LC.org for future days. Do not wake up on November 7 and wish you had done more to stand in the gap for America. Your prayers are powerful! Share this email with your friends. Now more than ever we need to pray for America!

Day 1

Fasting is Sacrifice

Fasting is one way to sacrifice to God. You sacrifice (some) food and drink as you can seek God’s face and pray. Sacrifice seems to be one of the measures of human relationships. Parents sacrifice money and themselves for their kids. A young man buys sacrificially an expensive piece of jewelry as a token of his love when he asks a young lady to marry him. If we love God more than anything in this world, what should we sacrifice for Him? Didn’t Christ sacrifice everything for us?

A normal fast is giving up food to seek God’s will, but you can drink liquids in that fast. An absolute fast is giving up both food and drink, but you shouldn’t do that for more than three days. If a body goes without water seven days, it will die. Moses didn’t eat or drink for 40 days, but that was a supernatural fast. Daniel went 10 days eating only vegetables (1:8); later he extended it to 21 days. Called a Daniel Fast, he also gave up pleasurable things (10:4).

Today, some have included giving up 21st century pleasures when they fast, such as abstaining from golf, pleasurable reading, television, entertainment, etc. But the effectiveness of a fast is not measured in the personal sacrifices you give up; it’s measured in your commitment to pray, worship the Lord, and fellowship with Him. When I’m on a fast, I spend my meal times in intensive intercession.

As you begin this 40-day fast to save America, ask what sacrifice you will make to turn America back to God. Some will give up one meal a day or two for prayer. Some have hard physical work, others have stressful jobs. They need food, just as a car needs gas to keep going. They can’t go 40 days without food for energy. They are just as serious about saving America as those who give up food, but they can sacrifice pleasurable things.

Begin your fast with a vow, then write it down, and sign it. Be as serious as if purchasing a home. David said, “I will not sacrifice to God that which costs me nothing” (2 Sam. 24:24). – by Elmer Towns ©
 

When will you begin?

What will you sacrifice?

How much time will you pray each day?

God being my helper, and grace being my motivation, I commit myself to the above sacrifice to God.
