These intercessors are not flakos. They hear from God and I'm willing to listen. If they're saying to pray, I'm going to pray. They come from all over the world and all are getting the same message. I think it's worth listening to them.

I didn't say they were 'flakos.' I just don't need intercessors to know to pray for the President.

If it gets others to pray for him, who wouldn't otherwise, it's a good thing, but I am now, and will always be skeptical of someone's telling me that he hears God's voice better than others do.

It's not biblical, and in this case, tends to make people afraid, which is definitely not biblical.

We're not going to agree on this, Mary. These people obviously mean a lot to you, and I'm not going to disparage that.

I think it would be best to stay on topics on which we agree........like that we have a great and Godly President, and we need to be in prayer for him.

Mary, I've been feeling quite guilty about the tone of my posts to you on this thread, and I need to apologize.

We do disagree on this matter, but I should never be condescending (as I seemed here) about the subject.

I will be open to the possibility that there is truth in what these intercessors are saying, and pray for the Holy Spirit's giving me understanding if I am mistaken in my skepticism.

I will always test what I hear against Scripture, as we are commanded to do, but I will not dismiss them out of hand. I have always been a skeptic of self pronounced healers and prophets because in my lifetime I have seen so many imposters.

At any rate, I am sorry if I hurt you. It was definitely not my intent to do so, but I have been convicted that I may have done so. You are a dear friend, and I don't want to put that in jeopardy. Please forgive me.
