Introduction

Nebraska is a unique state in that it is the only state to have a unicameral legislature.  Theoretically it is “non-partisan”. Terms for elective offices are limited to two successive four -year terms.  The State Capitol building has been described as an “Architectural Wonder”  by some and as a “Temple of Baal” by others.  State government is strongly influenced by the University of Nebraska system and its roots of Secular Humanism and Darwinism.  Conversely, there are still strong conservative pioneer roots in the state, particularly in the rural areas.

Prophetic Word Over Nebraska:

Given by Cindy Jacobs - April 17, 2010

And the Lord would say to you, “I am going be exalted for I have given an authority and anointing of majesty to Nebraska.”  And the Lord says, “There is going to be a sound of worship that looses My pre-eminence,” says the Lord, “And I am going to release that sound.  I’m getting ready to make some massive shifts in Nebraska.  I’m going to throw some people out of office.  I’m going to put some other people into office.  I’m getting ready to shift some things around.  I’m getting ready to expose, expose, expose,” says the Lord.

And the Lord says, “Over Nebraska, there is also going to be a sound from the earth, for I am getting ready to release prosperity.  There are minerals that have been trapped, but I’m going to release a Cyrus anointing—an Isaiah 45 anointing out of Nebraska.  There’s going to be a release of wealth come out of that state.”  The Lord says, “Even there will be new deposits found that have been waiting for this season for My people,” says the Lord.

And the Lord says, “Tell the pastors there’s going to be a revival that comes.  There will be a great awakening come to Nebraska, and churches that are small and struggling; those, even those small rural churches, and those that have been struggling to build buildings, and those that have been so discouraged.”  The Lord says, “Tell them, tell them, men and women of God, I am coming with My fire and the winds of Pentecost.  I am coming to give signs in the heavens over Nebraska.”

And the Lord says, “Look and see at the headlines of the paper,” says God, “because I am going to unveil My glory.  There’s going to be a dancing of northern lights that is going to be unprecedented,” says God. “It will be miraculous, and it will be a sign.  When you see this - the dance of the northern lights in places, you will know I am displaying My majesty and My glory,” says the Lord.

And the Lord says, “Even I’m going to begin to heal the land, ( I don’t know if you have dairy farming, I don’t know what you have there actually) . . .  but the dairy farming,”  the Lord says, “I’m going to heal.  I’m going to bring healing into the agriculture and into the animals.  And the trees of the field will clap their hands,” says the Lord.  And the Lord says, “I see Satan is trying to put a strangle-hold on the people that are called to produce from the land with regulations that are like oppressive, but I’m going to break the back of the oppressor”, says the Lord, “and I will release My glory.”

Top State Issues

1. While the economy of the state is somewhat diversified, it is still predominately based on agriculture.  Good weather and timely rains are very important to the economy. 

2. Family and marriage are under attack (again) with an initiative to overturn the “Defense of Marriage Act” as well as a ballot issue to amend the Lincoln city charter to give special “rights” to gays and lesbians.  Both Catholics and Protestants have been mobilized by this and the HHS Contraceptive Mandate.  We are seeing coalitions forming around common causes; praise the Lord.

Electoral Events

General Election - November 6, 2012

Candidates
