WATCH FOCUS Oct. 30, 2026, The God Who Changes Times & Seasons
 
“Every election is the most important one.”
 
Every vote counts—especially every Christian vote. Across Europe we are witnessing the breakdown of law and culture as the result of years of neglect and abuse by elected leaders and those they have empowered. There are two supernatural kingdoms pitted in battle for the soul of the human race. In 2026 much of the western world, established and nourished by Christianity and the gospel, has forgotten God, or fallen asleep in the comfort and convenience of relative prosperity and technological advance. Into that void have come two enemies, Islam and communism, both spiritual and satanic. One older than the other, both claim that man saves himself, and they have forged an unholy crusade of political alliance. In the East, Islam’s march for domination of Africa and the Asia Pacific continues through militarized gangs and population by birth. In the West, while the church has been largely anemic for at least six decades, tailored and popularized versions of Marx and Engels communist philosophy has converted a new generation to its tried and failed manifesto. 
 
From the Watch of the Lord as we approach the Mid Terms this Tuesday November 3, we lay hold of Daniel 2:21, “And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.”
 
We pray for leaders who understand and discern the times and know what to do according to 1 Chronicles 12:32, “…of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do….”
 
We pray deliverance from leaders who hold antichrist worldviews, especially who align with communist, Marxist, Islamic, and extreme green environment views. “Lord, deliver us from blind leaders and blind guides, from the blind leading the blind!”
 
We pray for the uncovering and defeat of all election fraud, cheating, and dishonesty.
 
We put God in remembrance of all moves of the Holy Spirit and revival fires in the history of our nation. We pray for fresh outpourings of the Holy Spirit. We welcome the fire, wind and living waters of the Holy Spirit across our Mid Terms, our colleges, and every part of our culture. May fresh water be drawn from the wells of salvation.
 
History Repeating Itself
Three hundred years after the resurrection of Christ the church began to reject its Jewish root and organize politically. In another four centuries the spirit of revival and the new birth was largely submerged in practical terms. An illiterate, orphaned, epileptic, is assaulted by a demon in a cave outside of Mecca. His wife and her heretical uncle announce it a visitation from Gabriel and named him spokesman for God. In another three centuries that religion, called “Submission” would have conquered most of the realm of original Christianity, destroying holy sites and churches, and killing, enslaving, or force converting, the populace. When that march moved into Europe, Christian nobles rose up to push back and, with a measure of success, recover Christianity’s territory in the East, thus the Crusades were born.
 
Forward another several centuries. The spirit of anarchy, the bitter fruit of the godless influence of Voltaire and Rousseau, subsumes France in a “Reign of Terror” in 1789. Just twenty miles over the channel, a revival of the gospel under the influences of university brothers John and Charles Wesley prevented England from following in those footsteps. A hundred years later, Karl Marx, D.L. Moody, and Chas. Spurgeon, were contemporaries living in London preaching opposing world views. Marx, whose father was a Messianic Christian, turned from Christ to atheism in university, and from squalor and poverty because he refused to work, espoused his man-centric ‘salvation’ for all human woes, brought on, he claimed, by capitalism. Spurgeon and Moody drew massive crowds and converted thousands to the forgiveness, hope, and industry, of the gospel. In America, a population of just 50 million was tenuously emerging from the ravages of Civil War. Pioneers pushed westward. New towns, factories, and the influx of new immigration, marked the height of the Gilded Age and rapid industrial expansion. In the East, Islamic jihad and sharia surged under a charismatic mystic calling himself the promised messianic Mahdi of the Quran. Thousands flocked to his banner and the militarized movement confronted western alliances and took territory across Egypt and North Africa.
 
The supernatural battle of kingdom against kingdom is played out in human and chronological terms. Daniel and Revelation show this in the likeness of wild beasts with human characteristics rising as human governments which oppose God and Christ.
 
Old history is repeating itself in new terms. Into this fray comes the prayer and proclamation of the church.   
 
Psalm 47:9, “The princes of the people have gathered together, The people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is greatly exalted.”
 
Matthew 15:14, “Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
 
Proverbs 29:2, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.”
 
1 Timothy 2:1-2, “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.”
 
Proverbs 11:1, “Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.”
 
Isaiah 12:3, “Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.”
