Harris heckled at Pennsylvania church, says voting for her fulfills God's expectation 'for us to help Him'

"That's why we fight for democracy," Harris repeated as the heckler was escorted out. 

"Every voice is important," she said, clapping. "Every voice is important." 

"In just nine days, we have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come. And on this day, then on this beautiful Sunday morning, I am reminded God expects us to help Him," Harris said through laughter, garnering applause. "We got work to do." 

"Like Paul, we must remember that divine power works through our actions, and we have the power to move past division, fear and chaos," Harris told the congregation later on. "It is in and within our power to fulfill the promise of America and the promise to create opportunity for every child and to protect our basic freedoms, the power to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God power the Black Church understood and has used for generations." 

As she has done in past addresses to Black congregations in recent weeks, Harris attempted to contrast herself against "those who seek to deepen division, to spread hate, to sow fear, and to cause chaos, who suggest that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down." 

"So let us answer not just with our words, but with our works. Yes, with our prayers, but also with our pressing. Yes, with our faith and also our faith, but also our feet. As we walk to the polls," Harris said. "And yes, in these nine days, these next nine days will test us. They will demand everything we've got. But when I think about the days ahead and the God we serve, yeah, I am confident that His power will work through us. Because, church, I know we were born for a time such as this." 

"In times of uncertainty, Scripture reminds us weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning," Harris said in closing. "The path may seem hard, the work may seem heavy, but joy cometh in the morning. And church, morning is on its way. God bless you. God bless America."
