It’s election day! That’s when this Run The Race podcast episode is being released. And we’re talking with an apostolic prayer leader – who travels the nation – about how faith can drive who people vote for.

(3:40) Lynn Alderson, who co-founded Kingdom Authority Ministries Inc., with her husband, is also the Georgia State Prayer General for the Reformation Prayer Network, among a leadership role in numerous other ministries. First, we talk about what “apostolic” means, how it involves a mission to transform places to be more like Heaven.

(6:30) With a government that many say was founded on the Word of God, Lynn says people have a responsibility to vote, warning Christians not to be apathetic. She says to ask this: Does this candidate line up with what the Bible says? She points to issues like sanctity of life (abortion) and same sex marriage. (11:13) There are laws restricting churches from endorsing a candidate – of they lose their tax exempt status – but Lynn says churchgoers need to stand up for the Word of God and pastors need to say…choose wisely at the polls.

(14:50) How do we pray, in regards to an election? Not for or against a person or candidate, she says, but for God’s will and Biblical values and for destiny of cities, states, nation. There are also bigger issues connected to His Word, like standing for Israel. (19:19) As for the basics of prayer, Lyn says it’s not something to check off your To Do list…but it’s talking to God, sharing your heart. There’s also listening to God, but how does that work? Intercessors are also called to pray for certain people. Businesses.

Their Kingdom ministry (25:15) and mandate is to serve the destiny of Kingdom leaders, provide prayer to cover them, travel to those leaders to pray/teach/preach, serve other ministries. One main goal: help pastors, missionaries, businesses snap into alignment with God. She calls it building God’s kingdom instead of building the church.

(29:07) What’s your destiny? God knows, but our job is walking in that daily. Lynn tells a personal story about being frustrated with her ministry future, things not happening in her calling, then God gave her 3 powerful words in the middle of the night. Essentially it was about what you do today and the journey, instead of just the destiny or destination. Lynn also says you don’t need to wait until you die to be a citizen in the Kingdom of Heaven, the Bible says God already gives you that authority, one that comes with rights and responsibilities and the keys to the Kingdom while we are on Earth.

In a busy life of traveling and ministry, (38:48) she and her husband also make time for their 4 kids and 9 grandchildren, saying her priority list is 1) God (relationship with Him), 2) family, 3) ministry or walking out their assignment from God. Lynn closed out the pod with prayer.
