I am a sinner of the worst kind, and there is no reason God should listen to me. But I can not get out of my mind when Abraham argued with God about Sodom.
The thing I worrrry about, is..perhaps the will of God is different than what I want.
My Christian friends, is a Trump presidency just wishful thinking?
Rodham and Gomorrah
Not wishful thinking. Prayerful thinking.
>>The thing I worrrry about, is..perhaps the will of God is different than what I want.
I and dozens of my friends have been praying long and often to save our country. Some of my friends are praying for Trump to win. I would like to see Trump win, but I am praying less specifically and putting the details in God’s hands since He knows better than I do. I am asking for the corrupt to be removed from power.
Not if he has been annointed by God.
How odd! I was have been thinking about that a lot lately. And interceding in prayer for America. Trying to make a deal with God. I just don’t know what the magic number is. Is it 200 million Americans? Or 100 million? Would he save us for 50 million?
Or is it too late? Will we now be under our deserved judgment? Does the rain fall on the just and the unjust the same?
I think about this verse too when people say we(as a nation)are getting exactly what we deserve.
I remember that many of us are praying for an end to abortion and other widespread evil and corruption and for people to be able to see and come to God.
I am hoping we are enough to spare our country from His wrath.
One thing that comforts me is how nothing has succeeded in taking down Mr. Trump, just like that other verse.
Knowing that His hand may very well be on Mr. Trump keeps me from panicking.
Don’t worry FRiends.
God had got this, one way or another.
That’s what I keep saying to the doom and gloom/God will destroy the US crowd. Really? Can’t find 10 righteous people in all the US?
I’m one. I know nine. (Difference between “perfect/flawless” and “righteous” i.e., “Declared justified”)
Yes, I have been praying as well. For God to save this country, and to do his will.
I am willing to work as hard as I can, and to Trust in Him.
There are many who deserve judgment. There are also many who do not deserve the punishment they will receive if the entire nation is judged as a whole. I hope that the nation is spared in order to spare the just and the others are corrected in another way.
I have been praying that for years - since 2008. Please save this country, there are righteous here. Please guide us and protect us. Please bring this country back to God. Please remove the evil. Please unmask the evildoers.
No I do not believe a Trump presidency is wishful thinking. I hope that it is an answer to many prayer warriors.
I feel the same wway...why should God listen to me?
His Will may be different than my deepest needs. Still, this gives me HOPE:

Watch it all the wsy through.
I run that deal on God all the time when I pray against hurricanes, wars and other natural disasters - locally and nationally. Surely there are enough good Christians to gain his mercy in the US. I know there are enough in our town and State.
God anoints who He may but God still gives us free will. And America is a nation predicated on its people using their free will with wisdom and sober-mindedness.
As much as we desire to pray for this election, and do pray for it, God isn't going to be moved by us to compel anyone to vote for this candidate or that candidate if that goes against one's will.
God allows us to have the government we deserve. No more and no less.
That being said, an unquestionable rejection of the Clinton cabal by the American people would give me reason to hope that God has not abandoned us yet.
“....Abraham argued with God about Sodom.”
Abraham never argued with God — He BARGAINED with Him as if he had something to trade with God(which he didn’t). This incident shows God’s mercy, which is free and not for sale.
Well, it was Lot negotiating to save Sodom, but I understand what you are saying here.
May G_d keep us in his care, and help us help those who have not found Him yet or are trying to deny Him.
That's a good one.
“Not if he has been annointed by God.”
The Almighty has a history of using all manner of men for his purposes. A lot of them had done things frowned upon in church. Even his favorites did rotten things at time. Think of David’s love life.
I would like to see Soros and his empire fall.
Read it again Don.
no.
it was abraham. he did the negotiations.
