Talk radio host Glenn Beck is urging Christians to fast and pray during the Indiana primary on Tuesday.

Posting on Facebook from a Courtyard Inn in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Beck wrote:

It was on April 30th 1789 when George Washington raised his right hand and placed his left on the Bible which had been opened randomly to Genesis 49 due to running behind.

He then walked a few blocks to attend a service as passed in a congressional resolution two days prior:

Resolved, That after the oath shall have been administered to the President, he, attended by the Vice President and members of the Senate and House of Representatives, shall proceed to St. Paul’s Chapel, to hear divine service.

This chapel is now known as “the little church that stood”. It still stands as the oldest Church in NYC across the street from the World Trade Center.

It is here that Washington spent four hours in prayer and made a covenant with God.

“He will be our God and we shall be His people.”

I believe this covenant is still in effect. It has protected us and this land for a great while.

We are shunning God, and now openly mocking Him. We have chased Him from our public spaces and conversations, His laws are not recognized anymore in most of our courtrooms, schools, business’ nor our homes and not only can we as a people not name the basic ten laws of God, we break them as individuals and as a nation on a regular basis.

We have become lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, and haters of good.

We wonder why our nation is in trouble. It has nothing to do with DC as they are nearly a reflection of us.

Have you ever seen an election like this before?

I am in a courtyard inn in Ft Wayne Indiana after speaking to maybe 6 thousand people today. I will be away from my family and my business until Wednesday night.

Because I believe that this may be our last chance. The Supreme Court judges that will be appointed are enough to seal our fate alone. But, I believe this is an individual choice. There is no collective salvation and He is asking each of us to choose.

We all agree, America is at a cross roads. If we choose a King, he will give us one. He always does.

But because we are the only nation since ancient Israel to have actually made a covenant with Him, it must be broken, I believe by all of us.

I realize many will mock this theory, but in a way that will prove my point. We have become such an unholy people that he wants to see each of us, each state to choose – who will you serve?

Principles, truth, kindness, and decency or those who deal in greed, hate, anger and fear.

Tuesday Indiana is making its choice. All will be counted. It strikes me as an important “coincidence” that the election will be held just a few days after the anniversary of the original covenant.

I have asked for this in the past and was mocked. It is okay.

I would like to ask that you, your family and friends join me for a day of prayers, fasting and humility. To beg the Lord to not remove His hand from us. To turn to Him and ask that He will heal our land.

Beginning Monday night and running for 24 hours ending on Tuesday will you pray and if possible fast like you have never done before?

“Cry out to Him”. Join me and my family in praying and fasting for our nation and our God to look down and forgive us of our misguided ways.

“Help us Lord to return to you and have the bravery to do the hard thing – to Trust in You and to do our part by standing firm in the eternal truths that Got us here in the first place.”

Let us renew our covenant with Him and as George Washington did and humbly seek his face, guidance and protection.

Please help spread the word. ‪#‎Tuesdayfast‬

Beck has been an ardent supporter of Ted Cruz during the presidential race, urging voters to support the candidate who will best uphold the Constitution.
