Does anything you’ve written here change what’s in Matthew 5:43-48 and 1 Timothy 2:1-3?
Not a word.
My statement was too abbreviated and Michael Reagans too ill defined. Michael's article sounded to me as if he suggested Christians pray for Mr Obama's success. I will not do that. That would be to pray against America for his agenda, currently, is to destroy the historic America and rebuild a Marxist one in its place.
I will not pray for the president's success just as had I lived in Nazi Germany I would not have prayed for Hitler's success.
I do pray for the President that:
1-He dedicates himself each day to the the Lord Jesus Christ.
2-He personally grows closer to the Lord Jesus Christ.
3-He develops a more sensitive ear to hear the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ.
4-He becomes increasingly willing to do the will of the Lord Jesus Christ.
5-He commits to putting the will of the Lord Jesus Christ ahead of his own.
6-He prays daily to the Lord Jesus Christ for help, wisdom & guidance.
7-He at all times acts in the best interest of the Lord Jesus Christ and America.
There is nothing in Matt 5 or 1 Tim 2 that indicates we should pray that a leader's agenda be successful especially if that agenda is evil. And while you didn't suggest otherwise and Michael probably didn't intend that either, I think some of what he wrote could be interpreted that way.
