Democratic gubernatorial nominee Yolanda Flowers announced she and her team will be fasting and praying for a week leading up to Alabama’s midterm elections.

Flowers made the announcement on Twitter Nov. 3 and encouraged voters to join her. She and her team will fast from midnight to noon from Nov. 1 to election day, Nov. 8, according to the graphic Flowers shared.

Flowers has been vocal about how her faith impacts her campaign.

“I come with the perspective – and I make no slight of it – my campaign is based on the word of God,” Flowers said during a runoff debate with Sen. Malika Sanders Fortier in June.

She won the Democratic nomination June 21 and will face Republican incumbent Gov. Kay Ivey in the midterms Tuesday, along with Libertarian candidate Jimmy Blake.

In addition to the three candidates on the ballot, Independent party candidate Jared Budlong has organized a write-in campaign.

Flowers also has gone live from her Facebook page each night of the fast and has prayed about specific topics each night, including lying in positions of power and conditions in Alabama’s criminal justice system and correctional facilities.

“We’re going on the principle of what God says, Christ says, in Matthew 16: That whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven,” Flowers said during her live on Thursday night. “And so that’s why we’re doing this fast and why we are fasting and praying; we’re binding the spirits that lay in hold of our state.”

Flowers received mixed reactions to her statements on social media. Many commenters on Facebook were supportive, while Twitter users voiced more discontent.

“Alabama has a jewel, support her,” one user wrote under Flowers’ video on Facebook.

Others said they were praying with her.

On Twitter, users expressed frustration at Flowers’ use of religion in a government setting.

“I really want a democrat in office but this skydaddy crap needs to stay out of politics. You have the right to your religion but not the right to force it on me,” a Twitter user wrote under Flowers’ announcement.

Flowers’ race for the state’s highest office will appear on the ballot with the highly anticipated race for U.S. Senator Richard Shelby’s seat, a rewrite of the state’s 121-year-old constitution and many statewide General Assembly seats.
