PRAY for our Nation & President Obama - Day 72
23 Jan 2009 | Blogger

Posted on 01/22/2009 11:10:33 PM PST by Blogger

Psalm 94

1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

2Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

3LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

4How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

5They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

6They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

7Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

8Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

10He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

11The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

13That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

14For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

15But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

17Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

18When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.

19In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

20Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

22But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.

23And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.

I photoshopped it.

I believe America is heading into a great storm and is even in it now. That cloud looms over the White House. If Barack continues the path he is on, it will be very destructive for America. If he changes, then the picture (for America) will also change.

What about this "smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will"?

What about "they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation"?

Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:

As a sidenote, I, also like your photo of the White House.

Alan Keyes said something worth reading.

Take it up with the Almighty. You might want Him to explain context to you while you are at it.

Yosemitest,
I do not agree with Obama. I think it is a detestable thing he is in the White House and will never pray prayers that support his moral and economic agendas unless his heart were to dramatically change. But, I do pray for that change.

Study Revival and Spiritual Awakening. There were times in the 1700s when they would burn Bibles and persecute Christians at universities in America. God changed hearts and revival and spiritual awakening occurred. I’m not saying God will do that here. America may be getting what she has asked for. But, I don’t know that for sure and so I am asking for God to change his heart. Period.

I understand where you're coming from.
But you must realize that God punishes the wicked.

"So shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things..."

Not always. Sometimes, He saves them and takes the punishment Himself.

Amen. Thank you for your ministry, Blogger.

We continue to pray, God, for truth to be clear and unavoidable. Bring the lost to the end of themselves that they might find Your waiting arms.

We are grateful for Your love.

Which doesn’t occur without the Holy Spirit’s direct movement - hence, prayer.

You are saying we need to pray for our enemies which is also well and good but when My Lord left he said I leave you the Holy Spirit and now you need a sword. (Defend yourself.) To turn around and say that we should pray for an impostor who has illegitimately seized control of authority in our country and then to further pray that he be successful in turning our economy upside down with socialist poison which will do nothing but turn us into a third world country which he will only be able to control by rescinding all of our civil liberties, especially our “citizen's veto” (the 2nd Amendment) and you are asking me to pray for this man. No. God Damn this man. If that makes me sound like Rev. Wright, fine. As a man from my neck of the woods said many years ago when Christians were men around here, “If this be treason, then make the most of it.” I will not sit here and idly let these impostors and perverts destroy the country our ancestors suffered so to create.

Lord, have mercy,
Lord, have mercy,
Christ, have mercy,
Christ, have mercy,
Lord, have mercy,
Lord, have mercy.
Infant Jesus, hear us
Infant Jesus, graciously hear us
God the Father of heaven,have mercy us
God the Son, Redeemer of the world,have mercy on us
God the Holy Ghost, have mercy on us
Holy Trinity, One God, have mercy on us

O Lord Jesus, who allowed the greatness of Your incarnate Divinity and most sacred humanity to be born in time, to become a little child, and to suffer bitter death, grant that Barack Obama may acknowledge infinite wisdom in the silence of a child, power in weakness, majesty in abasement, so that adoring Your humility and littleness on earth he may contemplate Your glories in heaven. We ask this of You, who, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns God, forever and ever. Amen.

Father, I acknowledge You as the Most High. You are from everlasting to everlasting. Nothing gets by you, Lord. You see all and know all. You are strategically posiioned to read the hearts of all and to see their deeds. Yet to me, You are my refuge and my fortress. In You I place my trust.

Lord, I ask that you send confusion into the enemy camp. Foil the plans of the enemy and shine light to consume the darkness. Father, I lift President Obama up to You and ask that You give him a new pair of glasses to see what he has been missing. Reveal Yourself to him, Lord, and show him that You alone are his source. Separate him from the iniquities of corruptive forces surrounding him and bring him forth in service to You. Let him have ears to hear and eyes to see, and bless this nation for Your Kingdom purpose here on earth. In Christ name, amen.

David prayed from raw emotion. Jesus calls us to a higher prayer life. We aren't praying out of emotion but out of obedience.

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for ALL MEN; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:1-4)

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; ( Matthew 5:44)

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,(Luke 6:27)

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.(Luke 6:25)

I believe it is probable. But I do not know the mind of God, so I pray for the best and won’t be surprised if the answer is no.

Now you sound like a student of God.

Good night, and God Bless ...
