Church Body/Church Leadership

Word: 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV) If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Quote: The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionable integrity. Without it, no real success impossible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office. -- Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th U. S. President Additional Scriptures: Proverbs 29:18 Luke 3:4-6 (NIV) 1 Timothy 3:1-13


President and Government Officials

Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. Founding Father Quote: “Let the religious element in man’s nature be neglected—let him be influenced by no higher motives than self-interest, and subjected to no stronger restraint than that of civ-il authority—and he becomes the creature of selfish passion or blind fanaticism.” --Daniel Webster, “Defender of the Constitution;” U.S. Senator; Secretary of State. Prayer: Lord, You know about the mass confusion currently plaguing the House of Represent-atives and Senate at both the state and national level. Today, we ask You to convict the conscience of every man and woman who holds a seat in our legislative govern-ment to do that which is right according to Your Word (not according to the whim of man). Father, at the same time, we do thank You for the Godly men and women who are diligent in service and we ask You to bless them and protect them and exponential-ly multiply their good works.

National Protection

Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, and the people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance. Founding Father Quote: “The great pillars of all government and of social life are virtue, morality and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone, that renders us invincible.” Patrick Henry, Patriot Leader in the American Revolution; Governor of Virginia. Prayer: Lord, God, in heaven, You chose a people and a land to create the foundation of the United States of America. It is overwhelmingly evident that Your Precepts were the tools used to create the fabric of our nation and while we honored You and Your Word, we were a protected and prosperous people, but as time and sin has had its way, we have gone adrift and become victim to want and war. We must have Your forgiveness, mercy and inspiration to return to You and do things Your way. Thank You Father, that You are our hope and source of victory in a seemingly impossible state of affairs. Now, make us once again, a people meet for the Master’s use, in Jesus’ name.

Court System

Psalm 2:10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling. Founding Father Quote: “While we are using the means in our power, let us humbly commit our righteous cause to the great Lord of the Universe, who loveth righteousness and hateth inequity.” John Hancock, Signer of the Declaration of Independence; President of Congress. Prayer: Father, our judicial system has become a ghastly mechanism for spreading unright-eousness in our nation. Men and women who have no regard for your Word have been placed in seats of judgment and have perverted the rule of law. We humble ourselves, Lord, as we ask for Your merciful intervention to thwart ungodly policy that has resulted from wrong judgment and to raise up Godly men and women who love Your laws and will uphold the true substance of our Constitution in every decision. We thank You for judges who honor honest weights and balances and are courageously standing for righteousness. Bless and protect them, Father, and encourage them to persevere.

Men

Proverbs 11:3 The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will de-stroy them. Founding Father Quote: “Integrity takes a stronger hold of the human heart than any other virtue. By integrity, I mean a strict consistency between thoughts, words and actions.” Benjamin Rush, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, “Father of Public Schools Under the Con-stitution.” Prayer: Lord, Jesus, You have made man to be in authority, whether it be in nature, marriage, business, ministry or government. Your word is very clear that integrity, which is first formed in the mind, is necessary for successful leadership. Shamefully, the average American man’s mind has been more influenced by the informational/entertainment instruments of the world such as TV, internet, sporting events, etc. than by the influ-ence of Your Word. Forgive us Lord, for not feasting on that which produces integrity…the Holy Scriptures and prayer. Make us a nation of men who stand firmly on the truth of Your Word to rebuild the moral foundation of our lives which ensures success in all You have called us to be and do.

Page 5


Women

Proverbs 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. Abigail Adams, a Patriot during the American Revolution, understood what makes a woman great: “Adhere to those religious sentiments and principles which were early instilled into your mind, and remember that you are accountable to your Maker for all your words and actions.” Prayer: Lord, God, forgive us for being women who have traded righteousness for folly. Father, draw us unto You, take us under Your wing to feed us Your Word and pour into us vir-tue; make us the kind wife who is a crown to her husband, a mother who is honored by her children and a citizen who is respected for her wisdom in public places. Show us our strengths and heal us of our weaknesses; make us strong in spirit and truth so we may glorify Your Holy Name in all that we do.

America’s Youth

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. Founding Father Quote: “The only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government is the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity by means of the Bible.” --Benjamin Rush Prayer: O Lord, we have failed our children. We have not trained them up in the way they should go. Instead we have let them follow the desires of their heart and Your Word warns that that is the sure way to destruction. Father, forgive us for forsaking the pre-cious treasure You have given us in our children. We now seek Your direction, Lord, to raise them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Help us form new habits based on the instruction of the Bible. Help us not become discouraged when we fail but rather to try even harder to be diligent in Biblical discipline and instruction which will shape our children into a Godly heritage for Your name’s sake.

Media

Proverbs 14:34 Psalm 68:11 Quote: Nothing less than the highest ideals, the most scrupulous anxiety to do right, the most accurate knowledge of the problems it has to meet, and a sincere sense of moral re-sponsibility will save journalism from a subservience to business interests, seeking selfish ends, antagonistic to public welfare. --Joseph Pulitzer, “The College of Journalism” Prayer: Dear Father, in Jesus’ name, I lift up the media of our nation in prayer. Thank you for the wisdom and insight of our founding fathers to make provisions for American citi-zens to have freedom of press and speech. I pray everyone involved in the media be just in preparation and presentation of news and newsworthy events. I pray You would raise up journalists and publishers of integ-rity to speak, write and print the truth in the face of all opposition. Help them be accu-rate and concise in their message. Provide direction in reporting human-interest sto-ries that would encourage and strengthen the people of this nation. Help them be mindful to also report news that will inspire, educate and inform.

Academia/Education

Colossians 2:2-3 …be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full as-surance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ. In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Founding Father Quote: …I know that my Redeemer liveth…I am not interested in science or anything else that leaves God out of it.” --George Washington Carver Prayer: Father, in heaven, we have been guilty of removing Your hallowed Name from the halls of the very universities that were established to honor You. Now, Lord, forgive us for taking You out of our learning institutions and letting idolatry and its ensuing relativ-ism exchange true knowledge and wisdom for lies. For the sake of America’s future generations, we ask Your mercy, Lord, to turn our hearts back to You so that we can turn our Universities, once again, back to the Source of all knowledge and wisdom. It is Your life which is the light of man and without that light shining into the minds of our youth, we are lost. Only You can take back our schools at the highest level, and we ask that you will, in Jesus’ name.

24-Hour Prayer Targets October 25, 2016

Work Ethic

Exodus 20:9-10 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work… The industrious George Washington Carver said, “I shall be glad to cooperate with you in doing all I can through Christ who strengtheneth me to better the condition of our people.” He understood God’s will for man to be productive citizens. Prayer: Father in heaven, we come before you today regretful that we have been slack in ex-emplifying Your commandment to work heartily unto You in an effort to please you and encourage others to be diligent in labor. Forgive us for allowing the welfare system to become a detriment to individuals, family and ultimately our society. Lord, spark a leg-islative move to bring accountability into this system and liberate those who are bound by it, in Jesus’ name.

Page 10


Fear

Psalm 27:1, 3 The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; Though war should rise against me, in this I will be confident. Founding Father Quote: “Under all circumstances, trusting in our Maker and through His wisdom and benefi-cence to the great body of our people, we will not despair nor despond.” Abraham Lincoln Prayer: Heavenly Father, as we look in any and in every direction, we are beset by troubling circumstances. Forgive us for allowing the Enemy to create great turmoil in the home, in school, in enterprise, and in government. As unrighteousness increases every day, there seems to be little hope, but as Your children, through the blood of the Lamb, we have assurance that You are in control as You arrange all things in preparation for the perfectly-timed return of Your Son to save this world from utter destruction. In the meantime, Lord, have mercy on us and give us courage to use our freedom to keep our freedom, for our children's sake, in Jesus’ name we ask, amen. .

Page 11


Freedom

Psalm 119:45 And I will walk at liberty, for I seek Your precepts. I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will delight myself in Your command-ments, which I love. The Founding Fathers knew that America could only be a great nation if it was founded and sustained on Christian values: “The Christian religion is the basis, or rather the source, of all genuine freedom in gov-ernment. I am persuaded that no civil government of a republican form can exist and be durable in which the principles of Christianity have not a controlling influence.” Noah Webster, Founding Father; “Schoolmaster to America” Prayer: Lord, we all too often hear the call to “take back America,” and while we may have a general idea of what that means, we need to truly grasp the wisdom You gave the ar-chitects of our Nation that we might see exactly where we went wrong so we can repent, pray and act on Your Word to close the breaches and behold the healing of our Nation by the Hand of the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Therefore, in Jesus’ name, help us become disciplined in reading and meditating upon your word, hiding it in our hearts, ready to be used as we fight to keep our freedom. .

Page 12


Citizenship

Proverbs 14:12- There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. Founding Father Quote: “Those who pay no regard to religion and seriousness in the persons whom they send to the legislature of any state are guilty of the greatest absurdity and will soon pay dear for their folly.” -- John Witherspoon, Signer of the Declaration of Independence and President of Princeton University Prayer: Lord, over the last fifty years, we have departed from honoring the Creator, and in-stead, have sought our own way. That departure from adhering to Your principles to doing whatever seems convenient in the mind of man, has led to the election of like-minded government officials and ultimately has resulted in the appointment of unrighteous judges. Today, for the first time since America’s inception, the United States’ Supreme Court does not have one sitting Protestant Judge. Father, we ask your forgiveness for this and ask that you make us a people who reflect the character of Jesus Christ as we practice good citi-zenship in voting and even running for public office ourselves, until every office in the Nation, from the lowest to the highest, has been filled with the righteous. .

Page 13


Apathy

Psalm 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. In 1787, Benjamin Franklin told state delegates, “If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? … ‘Except the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it.’” He then called for daily prayer to keep God in the business of the nation. Prayer: Father God, forgive us for letting what you built through our God-fearing forefathers, slide through our fingers. We have been selfish and apathetic, caring more about what men think, than about living out Your Word in our society. Now, as we seek Your favor and mercy and direction in rebuilding this Nation, let us not lose sight of our salvation; It is not the State, O Lord; it is You. Show us how to act with proper perspective, knowing that without You in the middle of it, anything we do would be done in vain.

Immigration and Illegal Immigration Immigration Deuteronomy 28:1 Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. Founding Father Quote: “You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life, and above all, the religion of Je-sus Christ. These will make you a greater and happier people than you are.” --George Washington Prayer: O Lord, we are guilty of allowing those who despise You to influence the way we live. We started out as a nation aware of the danger of bestowing citizenship upon immi-grants who do not honor You or Your commandments. Forgive us for foolishly aban-doning our watch to ensure that those seeking to enter our country also seek to honor the Judeo Christian values which have afforded us the protection, provision and power incomparable to any other nation…until now. Lord, God, give our leaders wisdom to enforce the good laws we already have on the books and to reverse the foolish policy that has been responsible for opening our borders and our beloved institutions to dan-gerous philosophy and acts which have threatened and harmed Americans and contin-ue to do so at an alarming rate. We also ask that you woo the hearts of those seek to enjoy the benefits of living in America, so they can experience what made this nation great in the first place…You! We thank You Father that You are able to bring it to pass, in Jesus’ name.

Illegal Immigration Lamentations 5:1-2 Remember, O LORD, what has come upon us; Look, and behold our reproach! Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens, And our houses to foreigners. Founding Father Quote: “No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain blessings than United America. Much to be regretted would it be were we to neglect the means to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us to so plainly. I cannot believe it will ev-er come to pass.” --George Washington Con’t on page 16

Page 15

Illegal Immigration con’t Prayer: Father God, we have been grossly negligent in protecting the “American way of life,” which is defined and identified as living in the likeness of Jesus Christ. Though many would deny this truth, 34% of all direct quotes from the writings of the founding fathers came from the Bible and the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and The Bill of Rights are based on Biblical principals. It is evident that these writings were pointedly intended to admonish Americans to live their lives according to Your Word or forfeit our blessings to the enemy who would influence us to live our lives otherwise. Forgive us for lacking wisdom in allowing unrighteousness to infiltrate our society be-cause we have not been good stewards of our borders. Help us secure our national borders and enforce the immigration laws currently on the books to allow foreigners, who respect our Judeo Christian values and wish to share our blessings, to enter in legally.

Enterprise/Industry/Economy

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope. Founding Father Quote: “Oh how I wish the people would awake up from their lethargy and come out soul and body for Christ…The more my ideas develop, the more beautiful and grand seems the plan I have laid out to pursue, or rather the one God has destined for me… (let us pray that the Lord will completely guide us in all things, and that we may gladly be led by Him.)” --George Washington Carver - Born a slave in 1864, he became world renowned, ad-dressing presidents and kings. As a scientist at the Tuskegee Institute, he discovered 300 uses for the peanut and 100 uses for the sweet potato. Prayer: Jesus, You are the Creator of the universe and You have made man to also be crea-tive. Forgive us, Lord, that greed and selfish ambition have largely supplanted the de-sire to seek first Your will and purpose for our lives. Today, we call on Your hand to di-rect us in every future endeavor that we would indeed fulfill our divine destiny. Give us a revelation of who You want us to be and what You want us to do as individuals, as families, as the body of Christ and as citizens of the United States of America. Today, Lord, we seek Your face and expect supernatural revelation and initiative to eagerly accomplish a great work for the benefit of society and to glorify Your Name.

Abortion

Jeremiah 2:31-34 O generation, see the word of the LORD! Have I been a wilderness to Israel, or a land of darkness? Why do My people say, “We are lords, we will come no more to You”? Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? Yet My people have forgotten Me days without number. Why do you beautify your way to seek love? Therefore you have also taught the wicked women your ways. Also on your skirts is found the blood of the lives of the poor innocents. I have not found it by secret search, but plainly… Founding Father Quote: “He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void f all regard of his country.” --Samuel Adams Prayer: Father God, we, like, Israel of Jeremiah’s time, have left the beauty of your righteous-ness for the ugliness that springs forth from the human heart to do “as we choose” in our private lives. Forgive us of this grievous transgression, for it has resulted in immor-al behaviors which have led to “unwanted” pregnancies and in the name of “choice,” we have rationalized in our own minds, the shedding our innocent babies’ blood, in and out of the womb. Israel did not escape Your judgment for killing the innocent and now we see America also suffering the consequences of forsaking Your righteous ways. Lord, may we become a people who will begin to hide Your Word in our hearts and minds to produce the goodness in our private lives that will be the force that revives the righteous heart of our Nation.

Page 18


Military

Nehemiah 4:9, 13-14 Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night. Therefore I positioned men behind the lower parts of the wall, at the openings; and I set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows. And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses. Founding Father Quote: “I urge you by all that is dear, by all that is honorable, by all that is sacred, not only that ye pray but that ye act.” --John Hancock Prayer: Heavenly Father, we pray for our military today, as we acknowledge the great im-portance of national defense. From the founding of America, You and Your precepts guided the great military minds who led and taught our troops to protect and defend our freedoms. Ironically, we have used those freedoms to bring other gods into honor under the auspices of military authority and in doing such, we have dishonored you You and now we witness our mighty military machine being restrained and prevented from its righteous purpose because you You are no longer esteemed as its Master Strategist. Lord, correct this and take charge of our military and give wisdom and knowledge and courage to its leaders to do what is good and right in Your eyes. Pro-tect and provide for our military troops and their families for the sacrifices they make every minute of every day so that the remnants of our freedoms may be preserved and those which have been lost, be restored. Raise up godly leaders to mentor our soldiers in the righteous principles of warfare, to secure our national borders and protect our freedoms to live according to Your Word.

Page 19


Stewardship

Genesis 1:27-28 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Founding Father Quote: When asked, “Does the Bible tell about peanuts?” George Washington Carver replied, “No Sir, but it tells about the God who made the peanut. I asked Him to show me what to do with the peanut and He did.” Prayer: Jesus, You have, indeed, made all things and You have given Your children the re-sponsibility to manage Your resources. Ironically, as we have failed, others, who do not know You, have risen to perpetuate rules and regulations in the name of environ-mentalism, economics and social justice which have eroded our freedom to be the good stewards You expect us to be. Lord, we ask you to forgive us for our lack of wis-dom in managing Your resources and ask that you guide and direct us in seeking Your will in utilizing and managing all You have given us.

Page 20


Voting

Psalm 37:34-36 Wait on the LORD, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a native green tree, yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; Indeed I sought him, but he could not be found. Founding Father Quote: “Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual - or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.” -- Samuel Adams Prayer: Father, in heaven, as long as Your law is in our heart, none of our steps shall slide. Though the wicked watches the righteous and seeks to slay them, You will not leave them in his hand. Give us courage and eagerness to make it a priority to get to the vot-ing booth and vote according to Your laws. Thank You for the privilege to be able to exercise the right to influence our governing bodies to become just and good once again. This we ask with joy unspeakable as You take the chisel of adversity and cause us to rise to a new level, for they that endure to the end, the same shall be saved!

Consistency

Titus 1:7-9 …be blameless, as a steward of God, … hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contra-dict. Founding Father Quote: “The time has come that Christians must vote for honest men and take consistent ground in politics or the Lord will curse them. . . . Christians have been exceedingly guilty in this matter. But the time has come when they must act differently. . . . Chris-tians seem to act as if they thought God did not see what they do in politics. But I tell you He does see it - and He will bless or curse this nation according to the course they [Christians] take [in politics].” --Charles Finney Prayer: Lord, You are always just, merciful, loving and wise. We as Your children, ask for Your help to make us consistent in living our lives according to Your example which works as a convicting light in society to encourage good behaviors. Though we have failed to shine Your light…and instead hid it under a bushel, we will no longer cower to the Ene-my. With Your help, we will live and vote according to the righteousness of Your Word and become more than conquerors in Christ Jesus!

Page 22


Morality in our Nation

Scriptures: Proverbs 26:2 Luke 3:4-6 Romans 12:21 Isaiah 49:22 Founding Father Quote: A Bible and a newspaper in every house, a good school in every district—all studied and appreciated as they merit—are the principal support of virtue, morality and civil liberty. -- Benjamin Franklin 1706-1790 Prayer: Father, I know the spirit of the world creeps into the body of Christ almost unawares sometimes, and before we know it, we can so easily be led astray and caught up in worldly actions (at times so subtly we don’t even recognize what has happened to use.) So in the name of Jesus, I pray You would raise up a voice in our nation that would ral-ly the body of Christ and cause us to become the standard bearers to such a degree that we would profoundly affect the morality of our nation.

Page 23


Israel

Psalm 25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all their troubles! Abigail Adams, the wife of one American President and the mother of another Ameri-can President knew the omnipotent power of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: “The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but the God of Israel is He that giveth strength and power unto His people. Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your hearts before Him; God is a refuge for us.” Prayer: Heavenly Father, You alone are able to save Israel from the enemy who besets them on every side. Open their eyes that they would be able to see their Salvation. By Your Almighty arm, Lord, bring them under Your wing and glorify Your Holy Name as You defeat their adversaries and prepare a place for them at Your table. Let the world know that there is no God like Jehovah and You have not forgotten Your people. And give Israel a hunger to know Your Son, Jesus, the Messiah.

Father, God Your Word declares that if we, Your people, who are called by Your name, will humble ourselves and pray and seek Your face and turn from our wicked ways, then will You hear from heaven and You will forgive our sin and will heal our land. (2 Chronicles 7:14) We bow before Your sacred throne and humbly ask Your forgiveness for the sin of idolatry! Your word de-mands; “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me”, yet we have, under the banner of pluralism and hedonism, em-braced and worshipped the gods of this world. Take us back to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! (Exodus 20:3) Through moral and spiritual compromise and prideful complacency, we have allowed our nation to conform to the ways of the world by turning away from our spiritual roots found in Your Word. (Romans 12:2) Our silence has produced a secular nation and all nations that forget You, shall be forsaken. We ask that You hear our cry, for we need You, in these desperate times, to lead us out of our politically correct fog of constant confusion and take us back to Your moral clarity. (Psalm 9:17) O Lord our God, King of the Universe, we confess that America cannot survive without Your presence. Your statutes founded this blessed land and we look to You, Father God, to preserve our country, for “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” (Psalm 33:12) As commanded in scripture, we pray for all in authority who govern our nation. May the perfect compass of your Holy Word, which clearly discerns right from wrong, guide their legislative rulings. We ask that the deci-sions made in government by our leaders bless and protect the nation of Israel. (I Timothy 2:1-3; Genesis 12:3) O Lord our God, You have promised to raise up righteous leaders into high places and to remove those who have displayed unrighteous authority. We earnestly pray that You will once again exalt the upright and expose the deeds of the ungodly. (Proverbs 14:33-35) America must have spiritual renewal for moral survival! In this season of prayer, we unite in humble heartfelt hope and ask that You forgive us and deliver us from the folly of our transgressions. Guide and sustain our na-tion as we turn from our sin and return to You, the God of our fathers. (Psalm 51:1-17) The time has come to declare our trust in You to heal our land. (2 Samuel 22:2-4; Psalm 5:11-12; Psalm 57:1-3) We pledge to exercise our God given rights of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” in voting for future leaders from the county courthouse to the White House who obey and honor Your Word. (Deuteronomy 28:1-14; Psalm 119:44-48; Psalm 5:11) We pledge to vote the Bible in selecting those that will govern our country. (Deuteronomy 16:18-20) Blessed are you, O Lord our God, for You are good and Your mercy endures forever. We petition heaven with our united prayers as we seek Your blessing, Your peace and Your protection for America. (I Chronicles 16:34; Numbers 6:22-26; Romans 15:13; Psalm 5:11) May the Lord our God, be with us, as He was with our forefathers; may He not leave us or forsake us; so that He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways... that all peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God and that there is no other. (1 Kings 8:57-60)

Amen

The Governor's office has filed election proclamations for SQ776, SQ777, SQ 779, SQ 780, SQ 781, SQ 790 and SQ 792 to be placed on the November 8, 2016 General Election ballot.

BALLOT TITLE FOR STATE QUESTION NO. 776

This measure adds a new section to the Oklahoma Constitution, Section 9A of Article 2. The new Section deals with the death penalty. The Section establishes State constitutional mandates relating to the death penalty and methods of execution. Under these constitutional requirements:

The Legislature is expressly empowered to designate any method of execution not prohibited by the United States Constitution.

Death sentences shall not be reduced because a method of execution is ruled to be invalid.

When an execution method is declared invalid, the death penalty imposed shall remain in force until it can be carried out using any valid execution method, and

The imposition of a death penalty under Oklahoma law—as distinguished from a method of execution—shall not be deemed to be or constitute the infliction of cruel or unusual punishment under Oklahoma’s Constitution, nor to contravene any provision of the Oklahoma Constitution.

SHALL THE PROPOSAL BE APPROVED?

FOR THE PROPOSAL – YES

AGAINST THE PROPOSAL – NO

This measure adds Section 38 to Article II of the Oklahoma Constitution.

The new Section creates state constitutional rights. It creates the following guaranteed rights to engage in farming and ranching:

The right to make use of agricultural technology The right to make use of livestock procedures, and The right to make use of ranching practices.

These constitutional rights receive extra protection under this measure that not all constitutional rights receive. This extra protection is a limit on lawmakers’ ability to interfere with the exercise of these rights. Under this extra protection, no law can interfere with these rights, unless the law is justified by a compelling state interest-a clearly identified state interest of the highest order. Additionally, the law must be necessary to serve that compelling state interest.

The measure—and the protections identified above—do not apply to and do not impact state laws related to:

Trespass, Eminent domain, Dominance of mineral interests, Easements Right of way or other property rights, and Any state statutes and political subdivision ordinances enacted before December

31, 2014.





This measure adds a new Article to the Oklahoma Constitution. The article creates a limited purpose fund to increase funding for public education. It increases State sales and use taxes by one cent per dollar to provide revenue for the fund. The revenue to be used for public education shall be allocated: 69.50% for common school districts, 19.25% for the institutions under the authority of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, 3.25% for the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education, and 8% for the State Department of Education. It requires teacher salary increases funded by this measure raise teacher salaries by at least $5,000 over the salaries paid in the year prior to adoption of this measure. It requires an annual audit of school districts' use of monies. It prohibits school districts' use of these funds for increasing superintendents' salaries or adding superintendent positions. It requires that monies from the fund not supplant or replace other educational funding. If the Oklahoma Board of Equalization determines funding has been replaced, the Legislature may not make any appropriations until the amount of replaced funding is returned to the fund. The article takes effect on July 1 after its passage.





This measure amends existing Oklahoma laws and would change the classification of certain drug possession and property crimes from felony to misdemeanor. It would make possession of a limited quantity of drugs a misdemeanor. The amendment also changes the classification of certain drug possession crimes which are currently considered felonies and cases where the defendant has a prior drug possession conviction. The proposed amendment would reclassify these drug possession cases as misdemeanors. The amendment would increase the threshold dollar amount used for determining whether certain property crimes are considered a felony or misdemeanor. Currently, the threshold is $500. The amendment would increase the amount to $1000. Property crimes covered by this change include; false declaration of a pawn ticket, embezzlement, larceny, grand larceny, theft, receiving or concealing stolen property, taking domesticated fish or game, fraud, forgery, counterfeiting, or issuing bogus checks. This measure would become effective July 1, 2017.





This measure creates the County Community Safety Investment Fund, only if voters approve State Question 780, the Oklahoma Smart Justice Reform Act. This measure would create a fund, consisting of any calculated savings or averted costs that accrued to the State from the implementation of the Oklahoma Smart Justice Reform Act in reclassifying certain property crimes and drug possession as misdemeanors. The measure requires the Office of Management and Enterprise Services to use either actual data or its best estimate to determine how much money was saved on a yearly basis. The amount determined to be saved must be deposited into the Fund and distributed to counties in proportion to their population to provide community rehabilitative programs, such as mental health and substance abuse services. This measure will not become effective if State Question 780, the Oklahoma Smart Justice Reform Act, is not approved by the people. The measure will become effective on July 1 immediately following its passage.





This measure would remove Article 2, Section 5 of the Oklahoma Constitution, which prohibits the government from using public money or property for the direct or indirect benefit of any religion or religious institution. Article 2, Section 5 has been interpreted by the Oklahoma courts as requiring the removal of a Ten Commandments monument from the grounds of the State Capitol. If this measure repealing Article 2, Section 5 is passed, the government would still be required to comply with the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution, which is a similar constitutional provision that prevents the government from endorsing a religion or becoming overly involved with religion.





This measure repeals Article 28 of the Oklahoma Constitution and restructures the laws governing alcoholic beverages through a new Article 28A and other laws the Legislature will create if the measure passes. The new Article 28A provides that with exceptions, a person or company can have an ownership interest in only one area of the alcoholic beverage business-manufacturing, wholesaling, or retailing. Some restrictions apply to the sales of manufacturers, brewers, winemakers, and wholesalers. Subject to limitations, the Legislature may authorize direct shipments to consumers of wine. Retail locations like grocery stores may sell wine and beer. Liquor stores may sell products other than alcoholic beverages in limited amounts. The Legislature must create licenses for retail locations, liquor stores, and places serving alcoholic beverages and may create other licenses. Certain licensees must meet residency requirements. Felons cannot be licensees. The Legislature must designate days and hours when alcoholic beverages may be sold and may impose taxes on sales. Municipalities may levy an occupation tax. If authorized, a state lodge may sell individual alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption but no other state involvement in the alcoholic beverage business is allowed. With one exception, the measure will take effect October 1, 2018.
