You May Read Our Daily Devotional Article by Clicking Here ======================================= Special Daily Encounter ~ People Power? Thursday, November 6, 2008 ======================================= By Richard Innes. Published and (c) by ACTS International http://www.actsweb.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dear Daily Encounter Subscriber, The presidential race is over. The majority of the nation voted for change--the effects of which remain to be seen. There are many reasons why President-elect, Barak Obama, won. Not being a political pundit, I wouldn't attempt to define these except to say that one of the major reasons is because Obama knew how to tap into the immense resource of "people power." As another put it: "It's beyond dispute that Obama was able to energize and organize a grassroots army. His candidacy mobilized countless volunteers who had never been active in a campaign before. They made phone calls, knocked on doors, passed out literature, registered voters, and turned voters out to vote." Why did they do this? Because Obama inspired them with a vision for change. "His huge advantage in fund raising helped a lot, but even that can be attributed in great part to tapping into 'people power'. There is no doubt that he was able to build a grassroots army of small donors--the likes of which no presidential campaign has ever done." And why did they do this? Because Obama inspired them with a vision for change. Obama's vast number of helpers and small donors (without mentioning his large donors) proves once again the effectiveness of a motto like we have in ACTS International: "When many people each do a little, together we can accomplish great feats for God." Change can mean anything. What we need today is not change but reform and a spiritual revolution—without which we may be on a course for national disaster. The very fact that our society is even voting on whether or not to accept gay marriage is beyond belief. Those who are for this will never stop pushing until they get it accepted. President Reagan said, "As goes the family so goes the nation." The acceptance of gay marriage would eat away at the very foundation of the family--the family as designed by our Creator and confirmed by thousands of years of experience--and also by nature. We destroy the family; we destroy the nation. We destroy the nation; we destroy it for our children and our children's children! Furthermore, the growing acceptance of almost every kind of abortion for any kind of reason, and voting for young underage pregnant girls to have an abortion without parental knowledge ... and, worse still, the unthinkable acceptance by many (including many political leaders) of partial-birth abortion--a barbaric inhumane form of murder--is also beyond belief in a nation that was built on Christian and Judeo-Christian morals and ethics. May God have mercy on us. These are some of the changes the American people voted for. Amazing. Unbelievable. Friends, this is alarming. As Chuck Colson said, "How has America come to this point? Why is our economy on the brink of disaster? Why is our culture so utterly depraved? "I can only think of what Alexandr Solzhenitsyn said about the catastrophic consequences of the Russian revolution. "I recall," he said, "hearing a number of older people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened." "Solzhenitsyn was right. Indeed, I can't find any better explanation for why we Americans find ourselves in the state we are in. We have forgotten God." An English bishop once said, "Everywhere the Apostle Paul went there was either a revival or a revolution. Everywhere I go they serve tea." Friend, are we, the members of Christ's Church, willing (with God's help) to do everything in our power to form a dynamic "people power" group to usher in a revival or a revolution, or will we stay in our comfort zone and remain satisfied with serving tea? Will we settle for change by a leader whose past record proves how rank liberal he is--with changes (that could ultimately destroy the family), and the appointing of liberal judges who will interpret the law and the constitution to their liking? Or will we become a part of a vast network of "people power" movers to help and to do everything in our power--to pray, to work, to give, to communicate thegospel of Jesus Christ (the only hope for our sin-sick world)--and thereby help bring in a spiritual awakening, revival and/or revolution? Deeply concerned when I was praying this morning (and feeling helpless), I said to God, "What can I do about the situation we are facing today in our nation and around the world? I am only one ordinary average person so what can I do? I have no idea, God, but I'm available to be a part of a spiritual awakening--whatever the cost may be." Also in my Bible reading this morning I was reminded how the early disciples were persecuted tremendously for the stand they made for Jesus Christ--and I was scared. But then I said to God, "Okay God, whatever the cost may be, please use me in whatever way you choose." Soon after my prayer time this morning I read about the "people power" group that was a vital part of getting Obama elected. And whether of God or not I don't know, but I thought, why don't we Christians form a "people power" group for Jesus? Jesus started with a motley group of twelve so why can't we start with a tiny group? So I am asking you today, will you join with Joy and me to form a "People Power Group for Jesus" and see what God will do? If so, please email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it to say, Yes, Dick, I want to join with you and Joy as a member of a "People Power Group for Jesus". Let's trust God to lead us one step at a time and let our motto be: "When many people each do a little, together we can accomplish great feats for God." Please consider this prayerfully and please may I hear from you today?
