God wants us to pray for our new president elect

Posted on 11/04/2008 8:17:58 PM PST by Texas_shutterbug

Now is the time for all men and women of goodwill to commit to praying for the president elect. God is still in control. Maybe he has humbled us. Maybe he has decided that we are too proud, too selfish, too...whatever.

Yes, it's going to be hard, but this is a good test of our character. Will we respond with hatred, bitterness, and despair, or with the eternal hope that our God is in control?

We have a choice. If you don't think that God can use a man like Obama, then your God is much too small. Remember - God's timetable, not ours.

I hope to see prayers for Obama's safety. His children don't deserve to lose their father.

May God bless us all, and GOD BLESS AMERICA.

The bible describes a time of extreme socialism. Where the government controls everything world wide. Even your ability to do commerce. I think we have to accept that it’s coming. Really, we shouldn’t be surprised.

How about we pray for America, before this happens?

He wanted to be called “Obama”, I’ll just call him by the brand name he ran his campaing under. No title of president.

We're supposed to pray to overcome evil, not to uplift it.

That man is not my president. My heart is hardened.

Saint Paul wasn't afraid to confront lost souls posing as Christians just like Barack Hussein Obama, the baby killer. He instructed the Corinthians to turn an unbeliever like Obama over to Satan, that his spirit may be saved. Pray this Word over Obama:

That Obama’s soul is brought to the foot of the Cross, that the Winds of Heaven blow through his life that his spirit may be saved. We will pray as were are instructed to do, but we will pray for his and his family's salvation.

1 Corinthians 5:4-5

In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are gathered together (and I am there in spirit), and the power of our Lord Jesus is there, too, turn this man over to Satan for the destruction of his body, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

Praying to the Lord about Obama as President makes me less afraid.

GOD is in control.

When I pray I remember that.

I also pray for each and every Freeper. I pray for strength and wisdom in how to work through this situation we are in.

I enjoy Free Republic and believe we are better than the hate filled Democrats we have listened to the last 8 years.
I don’t want to see my Brothers and Sisters, on Free Republic, filled with so much hate that they can not see straight or think straight for our future’s sake.

Lord hear my cry!

This is difficult to write, but I agree. I will be going to bed shortly, and will pray for George Bush, Barack Obama and our leaders. We must wake in the morning, (Lord willing) without bitterness, loving our loved ones without conditions, and respecting our fellow men, regardless of their votes today. This is not to say that we will ever stop fighting for what we believe is just and right, in fact we must do so now more then ever.

—Be strong and of good courage,be not afraid,neither be though dismayed;for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.—

Defund the left. Pull the plug on any cable or satellite/dish television service you may have in your household. Otherwise you fund the same Big Media power that controlled public thought in this election.

I realize that it is impossible to avoid giving them any pennies (they are invested into publishing, home video etc.) but when it comes to pay-tv, you pay for CNN, MSNBC, et all even if you don’t watch them. Every month. Every year.

No you don’t get it!! This guy is a menace due to his belief system. Remember, his guide book is Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.” osama, er obama and his wife frequently quoted this book on the campaign stump. Did you know who this book is dedicated to?

Here is Saul Alinsky’s dedication to his own book: “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer

I don’t suppose that means anything to many people, but it should tell you where his heart is.

No one said to pray to uplift him. Don’t mistake praying for him with praying for his plans to succeed.

You could pray:
- that his heart be changed on abortion and other issues
- that he be guarded from assassination. the last thing we need is Obama as a martyr
- that God block him from harming our country
- that God judge him for his actions. look at some of the psalms, with prayers of judgement on unrighteous rulers. see Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar

I will pray for God's mercy on America. We have enjoyed His protection and blessings and expected them to continue.
But we have turned our back on the Lord.

I believe that God chastises nations when they become sinful and America has allowed evil to flourish. From the slaughter of children, to the foul stink of Hollywood that we tolerate, to the greed of Wall Street, to the banning of God in schools and public life, we are no longer a righteous country.

We will receive the punishment we deserve. The question is: will it wake up America?

OK, how about this.

“Dear Lord, please don’t let That One destroy this great nation, Amen.”

That’s about the best you’ll get out of me.

Oh, by the way, welcome to FR.
