Ten Predictions No Matter Who Wins the Election: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
The Bible will still have the answers. Prayer will still be our resource. The Holy Spirit will still move. God will still inhabit the praises of His people. There will still be God-anointed preaching. There will still be singing of praise to God. God will still pour out blessings upon those who love and serve Him. There will still be room at the cross. Jesus will still love you and ask you to open your heart to Him. Jesus will still bring you peace, comfort & joy. It’s good to know Who is still in control! Proverbs 3: 5 - 7
