Pray for our Nation & President-Elect Obama - Day 1
5 November 2008 | Blogger

Posted on 11/04/2008 9:42:07 PM PST by Blogger


Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:43-48)

I heard a prophecy that said “The man that becomes president will be filled with the spirit after taking office.” Now, I certainly hope that is true.

To those who are looking at Obama and equating him with satan- remember, “we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood, but against principalities & powers & the rulers of the darkness- spiritual wickedness in high places. In order to defeat the enemy’s devices, they cannot be fought IN THE FLESH- in other words, your sorrow, anger, bitterness, badmouthing, murmuring in regards to Obama will yield nothing but those things right back at you. God made him just as He made all of us, and yes we OWE IT TO HIM TO LOVE HIM, albeit, at this time, NOT agreeing with his policies or idealogy.
I have had a VERY, VERY strong feeling in my spirit all year that something VERY GOOD was coming to this country, and it will be a GOD THING- not an Obama thing, or a “politcal” thing neccesarily. Keep loving God and seeking Him first and plead for Obama as you would a loved one on the brink of death, then we will see the Mighty Hand of God MOVE on this county’s behalf!

Amen

I really want to encourage us all to NOT watch Obama or give any more time to the MSM. I feel we need to now make a statement. THANKS but NO THANKS to them. Boycott TV altogether. God will honor us!!

I started that this evening...got home after working the polls as an election judge the entire day, and As soon as I get home I hear the one has won!!!

The TV was turned off...I'm done!

Pray for our troops! It must be absolutely devastating for them!

One of our FREEPER PROPHETS (Roman Catholic flavor) sent an email warning out with this Scripture that I feel is quite apt. His prophetic warning is likely for his private email list so I will not post that. I doubt he will. But the Scripture is everyone’s:

5Thus says the Lord:
Cursed are those who trust in mere mortals
and make mere flesh their strength,
whose hearts turn away from the Lord.
6They shall be like a shrub in the desert,
and shall not see when relief comes.
They shall live in the parched places of the wilderness,
in an uninhabited salt land.

7Blessed are those who trust in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
8They shall be like a tree planted by water,
sending out its roots by the stream.
It shall not fear when heat comes,
and its leaves shall stay green;
in the year of drought it is not anxious,
and it does not cease to bear fruit.

9The heart is devious above all else;
it is perverse—
who can understand it?
10I the Lord test the mind
and search the heart,
to give to all according to their ways,
according to the fruit of their doings.

11Like the partridge hatching what it did not lay,
so are all who amass wealth unjustly;
in mid-life it will leave them,
and at their end they will prove to be fools.

12O glorious throne, exalted from the beginning,
shrine of our sanctuary!
13O hope of Israel! O Lord!
All who forsake you shall be put to shame;
those who turn away from you* shall be recorded in the underworld,*
for they have forsaken the fountain of living water, the Lord.

That was a great prayer, and very healing. Keep me on the list, and I will pray for the nation and all of us in it.

Father of All, I am so very sorry that we have apparently given away the great country that You gave us - sold our birthright for a mass of pottage, as did Esau.

If You turned your face from us, surly we deserved it.

Now we ask for your mercy, which is all we have left.

Because YOU are our God; and we are the people of your pasture; and the sheep of Your hand.PS95:7

That prophecy was quite unclear about what sequence of events led up to which man filling that role after what events.

It could be someone we don’t yet know the name of by any number of scenarios.

At the moment . . . the prophecy I’ve read that most resonates in my spirit is that Obamao will be the most evil man to have ever held that office.

INDEED.

Part of me is sad that I cannot with a clear conscience jump on the sweetness and light; benefit of the doubt; all pull-together bandwagon.

This watchman cannot do that.

Realities are otherwise.

I support your heart, attitude, spirit and call to prayer.

Thanks.

Will check it out.

Lord, God, I forgive those FREEPERS who have minimized the problem; who have white-washed the problem; who have rationalized the problem; who have denied the problem; who have mocked the problem; who have mocked those of us crying the warning; who have mocked the evidence; who have mocked the realities and looming judgment coming.

I pray, Lord, that you will bring those FREEPERS to a place of understanding and repentance. Let them not call down more judgment upon themselves and those near them because of their blindness and willful blindness. Wake them up, Lord, with this horrific election. CAUSE THEM TO SEE the looming judgment with great clarity, soberness and contrition. Cause them to seek your face as never before, Lord.

In Jesus’ Name.

Yes, Our Lord God ALMIGHTY IS STILL ON HIS THRONE AND IS STILL OUR ALL SUFFICIENCY. PRAISE HIS NAME.

thanks for your kind words. They mean a lot just now.

‘Tis a fairly lonely role, it still feels like.

I have just wept and wept over this election. I am just undone over the condition of our nation. I do not believe that obama is God’s will, I believe that America has rejected His will. I truly believed that God was going to deliver us out of the hands of haman, but America has spoken and chosen. We have rejected God. May He have mercy on us.

I feel the greatest sense of injustice right now. I believe that he stole this election. It was over before it began. We have no power and no voice in the earth to speak against this. We have to allow it. This is socialism, not democracy. We did not choose who we wanted, we were told from the very beginning. The American people deaf, dumb, and blind. Sheep led to the slaughter. They fell right into his trap. (I so hope that I’m wrong on this)

This is not going to be easy for me,but I will pray for obama, because I am commanded of God to do so. But it will be that God would open his eyes to truth and that his heart would be changed. That God would grant him repentence to turn from his wicked ways. That God would put a great burden upon this man’s heart to care for America and Israel, and not to put our troops in harms way.

I’ll continue to look to God to understand this situation and see how he will work this for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. This has definately been hard to swallow. I am so disheartened, may God comfort my heart and all those who are grieving over our loss. And a great loss it is.

INDEED. I guess I’ve never signed up to FREEDOMINION. You may post my reply there, if you wish. I’m not going to signup tonight.


INDEED YOU ARE RIGHT.

I said similar things in the Klintoon era. It was like when my shipmates and I rode 4 in my VW beetle from Long Beach up to Hollywood to see a first run movie—they chose CLOCKWORK ORANGE.

We left at 15:00 and arrived about 20:00 LOL. Can you spell LA TRAFFIC JAM?

But the movie was so telling. The whole audience didn’t get it. THEIR LAUGHTER WAS PROVING THAT THE MESSAGE OF THE MOVIE WAS ACCURATE . . . THAT THEY HAD BOUGHT INTO THE DELUDED VALUES THAT “THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG” AND THEREFORE, I MAY AS WELL RAPE YOU AS FEED YOU. NOTHING MATTERS ANY MORE. Their laughter in all the wrong places in all the wrong ways for all the wrong reasons proved that the values of the society in the film were now their values.

It was chillingly hideous. Of course, even then, my shipmates thought I was some sort of philosophical/religious nut talking nonsense.

They just called it a very crazy movie.

And the Klintoons came along . . . and yet again, America sunk to a new low . . . cheering the absolute worst in the absolutely worst possible ways. Justifying horrific sins as lauditory. Pretending with the worst of the atheistic hedonists that God was NOT in HIS HEAVEN and would NOT EVER call them to account.

They were wrong then.

They are wrong now.

I have been banned for posting things about God judging America. I hope such folks are GREATLY more enlightened and awake, now.

If not, God will have some private “emails” for each of them still asleep, in due course, in His ways and His times . . . as He will for all who choose to remain willfully blind.

God will deliver somewhat in a sieve fashion . . .

THOSE WHO LOVE HIM FOREMOST AND PUT HIM FIRST FOREMOST . . .

The most heavily punished will be the “lukewarm” “Christians” . . . . those claiming to be Christian but who’s hearts are actually far from Him.

Then the evil will be in for very heavy duty punishments as well.

Dear Blogger, I will try to catch your thread whenever I can. Thank you for your faithfull prayers for our nation.

I believe the Lord gave my husband a prophetic dream several weeks ago. In the dream he was watching Obama as he was being congratulated on TV for winning the election. My husband told me that this is the most vivid dream he has ever had. He told me that in his dream he broke out in a cold sweat and felt very sick . He awoke sick and confused not even knowing where he was.

As we apoke about this the next day, I was led to tell him that this was not a foregone conclusion that if we (Christians) prayed this dream may not come to pass.

I for one did not pray faithfully, I did not humble myself in prayer with my face on the ground seeking God's mercy for myself, my family, my brethren and this Nation and all its people.

I believe that this Presidency is a judgement for many terrible choices our nation has made. Young and old have fallen prey to demagoguery, foolish millions have been deceived by the spirit of the Anticrist, not to say that Obama is the Anticrist but that the spirit of the Anticrist is operating in this world using vessels that allow themselves to be used.

I know that prayers for our enemies are the Lord's command. I can pray for repentance for Obama and for his followers, I can pray that they will come to the full knowledge of Jesus Christ but I can not pray that the Lord bless their efforts and endeavors as they stand and I can not pray that the Lord will Bless our nation as it stands either but I can pray that the Lord will bring us all to repentance, that the Lord will cause our hearts to be broken and poured out before Him and that The True Change will come.. I can pray that we will seek the Lord's Face and His Will like never before and that those wo don't know Jesus as Lord and Saviour or those that are separated from Him by their own designs and desires come to Him.

I pray and ask you to pray that we all will seek the Lord like never before seating Him in his rightful place which is the center of our hearts.

Amen

I have just wept and wept over this election.

Godsgirl, Be Strong and Trust in God. And if you can't be strong, ask God to Be Strong for you. Our faith is in God, not man or institution or government, but God! God will not fail you. Read Daniel 3:16-18

Thanks Quix, your prayers are often so theraputic. Is Psalm 109 appropriate yet? (sorry, I’m struggling with this also).

CERTAINLY PSALM 109 IS FITTING. PLEASE POST IT. Maybe in 2-3 translations. I hope you include THE MESSAGE version, too. But the KJV is quite impactful.

Thanks for your kind words.

If there comes a day when my prayers are . . . not currently posted . . . PLEASE PRAY FOR ME . . . and reflect on what God has said through me in the past.

I pray that day is a long way off at the earliest.

God only knows with Obama and his thugs about . . .

Thankfully, God has His own plans for me that shall not be thwarted by anyone.

Not quite enough. You left out Jeroboam, maybe an even more apt type of Obama.
