'We Believe in Miracles': Prayer and Fasting in GA as Future of US Senate at Stake in Tuesday Runoffs Read Transcript


(dramatic whooshing)

- Over the weekend scores gathered

at the Georgia State House for a march,

and to pray that biblicalvalues be exalted

during the Senate runoff elections.

Organizers encouraged attendees to fast

through tomorrow nightwhen the polls close,

and to do what they can to help voters

understand biblical principles.

♪ God bless America ♪

♪ My ♪

- Hundreds hit the streetsof downtown Atlanta.

♪ Way maker, miracleworker, promise keeper ♪

- Organizers makingsure people understood,

this was not a concert or a convention,

but a prayer meeting.

- And we believe in miracles,

we believe He- Absolutely.

- parted the Red Seas, we believe that He,

the walls of Jericho fell,because the believers

got together, we took a stand, we prayed,

we fasted, we repented.

We have to do that againas a country or we're lost.

- And we're declaring thatthis day belongs to the Lord,

we have a biblicalfoundation, and only those

with biblical values, or theclosest to biblical values,

should be in office.

- [Eric] Though no specificcandidates were named,

evangelicals widely support Republicans,

championing causes such as the life issue

and Israeli sovereignty.

- So I've not heard anevangelical utter the words,

"Black lives matter."

- [Eric] Jamal Bryant, pastorof mega church New Birth

in Metro Atlanta, sharesa different biblical view

of the runoff.

- I think it's veryscriptural and it calls us

into accountability of asmall line in sacred text,

that we often jump over:

"Have you considered the poor?"

And that this electionis about health care,

it's about employment opportunities,

it's about safeguarding higher education

and student loan debt.

- [Eric] Meanwhile, candidates

made the cable newsrounds over the weekend,

making their final pitches.

- I am feeling very encouraged

by what's happening hereon the ground in Georgia.

We've had over 3 millionpeople to vote already

during the early period, andit is because they understand

how much is at stake.

- I believe that we'll win on Tuesday

because of the grassroots momentum,

the unprecedented movementenergy in Georgia right now.

- Raphael Warnock is myopponent, he is someone

that would fundamentallychange this country.

His values are out of step with Georgia.

- Look, I don't think Ishould be in this runoff,

if everything had happenedthe way it should have

in November, but the only recourse we have

is to get out and fight,and rise up, and vote

on January the fifth.

- Both President Trumpand President-elect Biden

will be in Georgia todayto rally the electorate

to show up at the polls tomorrow.

Everyone understanding thatwith the margin so thin,

every vote counts.
