Here we are, standing at the threshold of, literally, the most important elections of our lifetime. We as Christians must pray, fast, and get involved, and we have got to encourage everyone in our lives to be involved as well. We cannot stress this enough!
The great American Patriot John Peter Muhlenberg (in 1777) wrote, "Brethren, we came to this country to practice our religious liberties, and if we don't get involved, we're going to lose them."
The great American Patriot John Peter Muhlenberg (in 1777) wrote, "Brethren, we came to this country to practice our religious liberties, and if we don't get involved, we're going to lose them."
Leading up to this election, the number one question we have received from our Christian brothers and sisters is, "How can I get involved and help others recognize the closest-to-godly candidates on the ballot?" With a burden to provide an effective resource to answer their call, we went into prayer and, by the leading of The Holy Spirit, have written and produced an easy to use Christian Voting Guide. Your enclosed copy offers twelve crucial points to help equip voters with key Biblical principles for choosing the closest-to-godly candidates on the ballot.
As we were in prayer about the upcoming elections, The Holy Spirit also revealed a crucially important message that, quite frankly, shook us both. "When someone knowingly votes for a political candidate who stands in opposition to God and His Word, that Voter becomes an accomplice to the decisions that politician makes as an elected official! That Voter will be held accountable to God for offenses committed against God's people throughout the time that politician is in office. The legal description of this is 'Being an accessory before the fact.'" We cannot stand idly by when we have the Truth to provide to those lacking this knowledge.
Would you join us in getting this timely resource into the hands and hearts of as many folks in your social circles as you possibly can, before the upcoming November elections? With only a short while before it's time to cast our votes, we have to act NOW!
Our supply of brochures is limited so please contact us ASAP if you would like some copies by mail. Also, a number of folks have called to request the following print files of the Voting Guide. These files are quick and easy to send and receive in e-mails, to post on your social media pages, or to use to print out copies that can be passed along to others. Please take advantage of this opportunity and resource today. The election day is just weeks away!
We must ALL get involved! "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works." James 2:14-18.

Dr. Alva Jean writes, "Dear Keith, Bren, and Team,My staff and I received your TTM Voting Guide. I must tell you, it is the finest Christian voting guide that I've ever seen. It is well-written and leads the reader straight to the point. It doesn't mince words, and delivers a timely message for this hour we are in. I thought you would like to know that I presented copies of your guide to the pastors of our city-wide pastoral council and they raved about it! I'm forwarding the e-file to all of my pastor friends and associates as well. THANK YOU VERY MUCH."

If there has ever been a time that we must "pray without ceasing", keeping our minds stayed on Jesus Christ, it is now. As our Father has been drawing the wickedness out of the dark "hiding" places, exposing it in the LIGHT, we all must be steadfast, building up The Family of God. If we stand together in prayer for/with one another in these final hours, we keep our spiritual eyes focused on becoming One in The Lord Jesus Christ. By our keeping focused on taking "the narrow way" each and every day, we protect ourselves and everything we hold dear in The Kingdom of God from compromise by countless indulgences of this world. If we submit to The Holy Spirit's leading, He is our Best Friend and Comforter Who keeps us clean and ready to be used by God everyday, in spite of distractions and "cares of this life" all around us. Be encouraged to press through, stand strong, and reach out to those whose focus has been weakened or broken by all that is happening in the news and world today.
In the fulfillment of our Father's promises and plan for our lives, this as a most strategic season of opportunity to perform our key role in this "final harvest of souls"! Each one of us has a responsibility to "seek FIRST" our Father through our Lord Jesus Christ, by the Wonder-full Holy Spirit's lead, to work side-by-side with The Holy Trinity to step out in faith and fulfill God's call on each of our lives. We must constantly focus on stepping out in faith to fulfill our function in the Body of Christ, together as The Family of God, making our steps count as we make our way to the finish... all for our Father's Glory in the mind, heart, and lives of everyone around us and in the world.
As we in The Army of Jesus Christ find ourselves in this final push just before the great trumpet sounds, we must take our thoughts captive, practice self-control, ask The Holy Spirit to meet with us in the pages of God's Holy Word, hydrate by the Living Water of His Word, and FOCUS on His LEAD. The proper context for all of our thoughts, words, and deeds will be found in God's Word, through The Person of Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit's tutelage as we meet with Him in The Gospel Jesus Christ preached. For it is only as we put on the mind of Christ that we will be able to be transformed into His likeness, which is the reward of walking *with* Him.
Remembering who we are, Whose we are, and that it is by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that "the war is won for us already", we keep focused in this fight to everyday overcome our enemies in the spirit. In turn, we stay alert to the needs of those around us who need help to find their way. Then, when The Great Conquering King returns in ALL of His Glory with The Mighty Host of Heaven at His Side, we will bear the abundant fruit of sowing the sweet seed of God's Word into the fertile soil of people's ears and hearts everywhere. All of us have got to put our ALL in the fight to finish our work with pure Focus, Fearlessness, Love, Discipline, and every single thing we've got in us that God has given... to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus! And don't be concerned with what the person next to you is doing; You do your job, and you do it with everything you've got, knowing in your heart that WE WILL WIN in our living Life with Christ!
Once we are in daily pursuit of becoming ONE with God, our wisdom and understanding *in Him* changes everything! Always remember that because, "Your focus on working *with God* will lead you to overcome worldly obstacles, and to inherit rewards that go far beyond your greatest expectations!" Watch and see!
From the bottom of our hearts we express how eternally grateful we are to our TTM Family of Faithful Contributors, by whose love for Jesus Christ, passion to see His Name magnified, and ongoing generosity this project is made possible. We want to also thank you for hearing the call, with us, to invest in Prayer and Voting. We would be remiss to go without offering you the opportunity to become a part of this campaign and many more projects like it. Aside from the writing, editing, and research that goes into a project like this, there are outside costs for things like printing and postage also. We invite you to prayerfully consider helping us. The opportunity to sow your seed into high-yield projects (in the spirit) is too good to not share with you. For your convenience we provide self-addressed envelopes upon request, and we also accept PayPal donations from "HERE" and from our paid TTM channels and website. All gifts are tax-deductible and very appreciated.
Our prayers are fueled with hope and expectation for fulfilling our spiritual assignments in this world, through sharing The Gospel of Jesus Christ and The Gospel Jesus Christ preached... greater than ever before!
If you have yet to invite Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Lord and Savior, or if you have allowed something or someone to come between you and God, now is your time to get right with God. Right there where you are, pray this prayer to God, then REST-ASSURED and watch what God does...
"Dear Father God, in the precious Name of Jesus Christ, the King of kings and The LORD of all lords, I lay my life at Your Feet. I come before You, confessing that I am a sinner, and I ask for You to forgive me of all my sins - those that I know I have committed, as well as those that I am not even aware of. I ask that You come into my heart and be my Lord. I lay my life, and everything in it, at Your Feet, and ask that You please take me and begin to change me to be like YOU. I ask that You redeem the time that has passed, and allow me the opportunity to become exactly what You have predestined me to be, from before the foundation of the earth. I commit my life to You now, and thank You for receiving me as Your own. In the wonderful Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, I pray, Amen." And AMEN (So be it)!
WELCOME HOME!
If you have just prayed this prayer, we want to congratulate you for making the greatest decision that you'll ever make! By accepting Jesus Christ, or rededicating your life to Him, as your personal Lord and Savior, you have begun the wonder-full process of being grafted into the family of God, and we welcome you "Home" to God's Family. We would also like to invite you to contact us so that we can send you information that will help you begin growing in your relationship and daily walk with God. We would encourage you to begin attending a Holy-Spirit-filled, full-Bible focused church right away.
We advise you to begin reading The Holy Bible daily, whether you understand it or not. Always remember, God's written Word in The Holy Bible is LIKE NO OTHER BOOK that has ever been written! When we rendezvous with The Person of The Holy Spirit as we read what God has written there, it becomes stored in our heart for The Holy Spirit to access it to bring to our remembrance. You will find that the Scriptures will become applicable to whatever you are going through, at any given time!
There are wonderful Bible teachers that can, especially early in your walk with God, help you to receive good teaching and encouragement right away. Though informative, those Bible-teaching programs are never to be a substitute for close relationships with people who love and serve God. At times, the transformation process that you have now begun will be difficult, and you will be tempted to go back to your old ways of living your old life. It will be during times like these that hanging out with strong Christian friends and mentors will be crucially important. There really IS strength in numbers! (Selah)
And remember... growing in Godliness requires purity of focus, staying steadfast, immovable, and uncompromising in the faith of Jesus Christ... and now more than ever, no matter what, Keep PRESSIN' IN! You might consider using our book LETTERS FROM THE FRONT, the special collection of keys to defeating hindrances that have kept many of God's servants from walking with the confidence and authority that Jesus Christ died to provide for us! Twelve life-changing chapters include:
To help you further your fight to victory through the battles that confront every one of us in these turbulent times we live in, get your copy of our book, " LETTERS FROM THE FRONT." In this collection of 12 letters written from the front lines of battle fought in the spiritual, natural, and theater of the mind, Keith's Scripture messages will build your faith and help you reach God's full potential for your life.
