It is The LORD who raises up and brings down rulers. They cannot do it to themselves. In The Bible it is very clear, over and over, that when God's people knew they needed Him to do something big and very important they reached His ear and His heart by fasting and praying. Then He moved over the situation.
When we fast and pray we take our eyes off from worldly influences, even our own flesh, and put our hearts and eyes upon God. It is our way of showing Him that we acknowledge that He is God and that we believe in Him and His ability to change this world as no one else can do.
He is The Power. Nothing good can be accomplished without Him. He wants to see that we believe in Him and His chosen way for us to prove to Him that we are putting Him first in an important situation is to fast and pray to Him. Ask Him in detail for the things we hope for from Him and need.
When we fast and pray we should take time to be still before Him and acknowledge that He is God. We should confess to Him the ways that we and also our Country have failed to live faithfully before Him. Then we should plead with Him to pour out His grace (undeserved favor) upon us and our Country in Jesus Holy Name. Make it personal. Let Him know why it is so important to you and others from the heart.
Let's do it His way and see what He will do.
Roger that.
so yes, He it is important to Him =
so yes, because we are important to Him He will use our fasting and prayers to His honor and glory.
Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
(Psalm 7)
A lot of us will be fasting on Weds. For other reasons, but should it please Gd to help bless this country with a good leader who loves us, (said it a Brooklyn accent) “It couldn’t hoit!”
If the left manages to win this thing... what are the Trump voters going to do? I can’t imagine living under hillary for one year... let alone 4.. I thought I’d not survive obama... and if hillary would win, I doubt there would be a country left... or any conservative ever get back in the oval office. if they can manage to use every trick in the book and get her in there.. they can do it again and again.. as long as there is no danger from us polite conservative Christians...
I’m not an especially devout Christian, but I’m not too sure He really views this country as worth saving, TBPH. He’s probably thinking of salvation along more individual lines. Maybe his plan is for Hillary to win to lay the foundation for a new republic of for the decent and Godly to break free.
The union isn’t salvageable. Deep down, I think everybody knows it.
If Hillary wins I’m flat out supporting a Texit movement and hoping some other states join in. At some point, gangrene is no longer curable and amputation is your only option. We’re about there.
That is why it is so very serious that we fast and pray. Our Country depends on it, as well as our lives and the lives of our children. This is extremely important!
I don’t know if God could ever forgive a man that said some naughty things. < / sarcasm >
If Hillary were to win this one then your are most certainly right. We may have a opening here, albeit a very thin one. Let’s go through it. It is totally in God’s hands. Let us do what we can which is acknowledge Him, His ability to do what otherwise cannot be done.
The amazing thing is that He can even forgive Hillary if she sincerely repented and asked Him too. If she had a brain in her head she would be on her stomach, face down on the floor and beseeching Him. Hell is forever and she is obviously not long for here.
I can forgive a man (or woman) for falling into the vulgarity of world and making lewd comments during a weak moment. However; I can’t forgive a woman (or man) who wants to make our country open borders, give up national sovereignty and bring in hundreds of millions of foreigners who want to create a war in our country that destroys the land and murders the rightful citizens, her fellow citizens. Which is why I will vote for a man who loves his country and will fight to protect his country and fellow Americans, despite his having human, masculine character failings, imperfections. However; the fact that he loves his country and fellow Americans, and will fight to protect them, tops a moment making lewd comments, which is why I will vote for Donald Trump. And I will NEVER vote for a delusional woman who loathes her fellow U.S. citizens, Americans, like me, my family, my friends, my hometown, my state, my country. I didn’t vote for her accused rapist husband and I will NEVER vote for Hillary Clinton. God Bless American and God Bless future President Trump.
The hymns for the day are most appropriate for this crucial election:
Apolytikion of Synaxis of the Archangels in the Fourth Tone
O Commanders of the Heavenly Host,
we the unworthy beseech you,
that through your entreaties you will fortify us,
guarding us in the shelter of the wings of your ethereal glory,
even as we fervently bow before you crying:
“Deliver us from all danger,
as Commanders of the Powers on high! “
Kontakion of Synaxis of the Archangels in the Second Tone
Chief Commanders of God;
ministers of divine glory;
guides for men and leadership of the Incorporeal;
as Chief Commanders of the Incorporeal,
plead for our welfare and for great mercy.
.... She and others like her like the current occupant in the Whitehouse are addicted to the power which corrupts .... and Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely.
God hates Trump.
God uses imperfect people. Dr. Dobson said that a friend of his recently led DT in a sinners prayer. He may even be a real Christian now. Dr. Dobson isn’t known to be a liar.
The same Lord who suffered and died on a cross for you and me did the same for one Donald J. Trump.
May I ask you, what are you talking about?
[[God hates Trump.]]
God has been using Trump to expose the corruption in this country. It’s the corrupt that hate Trump .
He is exposing them RIGHT NOW TOO
