Here at the IFB it has been our sincere desire that President Obama and the oppressing secular elites and ruling class of this world would see the ETERNAL big picture and their desperate need for Almighty God's saving grace, which is found ONLY in the Savior of the world (the Lord Jesus Christ), Who ALONE is KING of kings and LORD of lords of time and ETERNITY (John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 Tim. 2:1-7).
How many believers (who are forgiven transgressors and debtors to the GRACE and MERCY of Almighty God) actually pray for President Obama's salvation on a daily basis?
It is a sound and true reality that President Obama is lawless, at war with our constitution, our Founding Fathers, the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God, despises all that the Bible clearly teaches and all that conservative Bible believing Christian Americans hold dear and sacred. Truly though, in light of President Obama acting out his fallen godless humanity (Rom. 1:18-32, 3, Jude 1:10), how many believers (who are forgiven transgressors and debtors to the GRACE and MERCY of Almighty God) actually pray for President Obama's salvation on a daily basis? It is safe to say not many. We are too consumed in pointing out all his godless acts as watchmen of this nation and of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, warning all of that which is being accomplished at his hand; for that is what we as watchmen do but, our Heavenly Father commands us also to pray for those outside of Christ's saving grace; especially our leaders(Matt. 5:44, Rom. 12:14). In light of ETERNITY we truly DO NOT wish the RIGHTEOUS Judgment of Almighty God and His ETERNAL prison called the "Lake of Fire" on no man and that ALL (conservative, liberal and progressives) would turn to Almighty God in genuine repentance and call on the Name of the Lord and be saved (Matt. 25:41, Mark 9:48, Luke 3:17, John 3:16-17, Acts 4:12, 16:28-30, Gal.1:4, Rev. 20:11-15)!
Indeed a great Day of ETERNAL JUDGMENT is coming in which (all people) great and small will stand before the Son and give a full account for their deeds in the flesh and their rejection and rebellion against the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God.
Indeed a Great Day of ETERNAL JUDGMENT is coming in which all people, great and small will stand before the Son of God to give a FULL account for ALL of their deeds in the flesh; their rejection and rebellion against the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God (Matt. 12:36-37, John 3:36, Rom. 10:2-4, Phil. 2:10-11, Gal. 2:16, Rev. 20:11-15). While there is yet time and breath left in President Obama's nostrils, may he and all human beings (conservative to progressive) who KNOW NOT the Savior of the world) cry out to Him in genuine repentance and with a contrite heart to be delivered from that DAY (Acts 16:28-31, Rom. 2:4, James 5:5, Rev. 19:15-21. 20:11-15)! A few moments of human glory, fame and position in this fallen damned world are not worth ETERNITY'S damnation (Matt. 16:26, Luke 9:23-25, 1 John 2:15-17, Rev. 20:11-15). That is not Almighty God's will for you as a fallen son of Adam (Rom. 5:12-21).
Almighty God is NOT willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL would come to a saving knowledge of the Savior of the world.
Almighty God is NOT willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL would come to a saving knowledge of the Savior of the world (John 3:16-17, Rom. 2:42, 1 Tim 2:1-7), and so also do we. Here at the IFB the GLORIOUS GOSPEL (1 Cor. 15:1-4) is at the very heart of every one of our posts; for progressives as well as conservatives who know not the Savior in Spirit and TRUTH (John 4:24, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 Cor. 15:1-4). Our political and spiritual perspective and position is taken from an objective biblical point of view from ETERNAL reality and the PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS demanded by Almighty God for each individual of Adam's fallen race (Rom. 5:12-21, 10:2-4, James 2:10). There was a time when we here at the IFB ( as individuals) once walked the course of the world and were dead in our trespasses and sins against the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS ABSOLUTES of Almighty God (1 Cor. 6:9-11, Eph. 1:7, 2:1-12, Titus 3:3-5, Rev. 1:5) It was in Almighty God's GREAT GRACE and MERCY, in much long suffering towards us that in the fullness of time we turned to His ETERNAL grace and He saved us from ETERNAL ruin and became children of the King of ETERNITY (Rom. 2:4, 2 Cor. 2:10, Eph. 2:1-12). Oh my dear friends, we at the IFB KNOW forgiveness and we are now debtors to Almighty God's ETERNAL LOVE to share with ALL, even Presidents, Radio Talk Show hosts and elected officials that Jesus truly saves and is coming again in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Mal 3:1-3, Matt. 25:31-45, 2 Cor. 5:17-21, Rev. 19:11-21)!
The Bible's message of Salvation is very, very clear to all and one that we need not be offended by.
It is again are sincere desire that President Obama turn (180 degrees) and come to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ in Spirit and Truth. The Bible's message of SALVATION is very, very clear to all and one that we need not be offended by. We are just to BELIEVE it, RECEIVE it, REJOICE in it, ENJOY it, and THANK Almighty God for it! It is just that simple my dear friend (Acts 16:28-30, Rom. 10:17, Rev. 22:17)! But... unfortunately the heart and pride of fallen man usually always gets in the way (Prov. 8:13-14, 16:18, 18:12, Matt. 23:37-38, John 5:40, Rev. 9:20-21)
The Bible Teaches:
Romans 5:8 - "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Sin separates us from God. God's Peace and Eternal Life are lost because of our sins.
Romans 5:12 - "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned;"
Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
God has provided the gift of ETERNAL Life. This Life is found in His Son, Jesus Christ.
Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
You can have this Life! This Life is made possible through Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:1 - "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:"
Romans 1:16 - "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
Romans 5:21 - "That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 10:9 - "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
Romans 10:13 - "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10:10 - "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
WHAT TO PRAY
Dear God, I know that I am a transgressor against Your PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS and need your complete forgiveness to enter SAFELY and PERFECTLY into ETERNITY and into Thy HOLY PRESENCE. I believe with ALL my heart that Jesus Christ died for ALL my TRANSGRESSIONS against You as Your Word cleary states. I now REPENT and PLACE my complete trust in Him as MY Savior and will follow Him as the Lord of my Life.
May it be so!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
I pray this quite often! Obama needs Jesus and he is always in my prayers whether I like him or not.
Sorry guys.
I can’t pray for the AntiChrist.
I pray for Obama’s _________________-, every day.
He does not want salvation from your Christian god
And certainly does not deserve it.
Please excuse my bitterness and lack of Christian forgiveness
Zer0 deserves little more forgiveness than I would give hitler or stalin
That's the meaning of grace.
Dude, that’s like praying for the salvation of Satan himself.
He is an alien and a destroyer of the things of God.
Pray as you see fit and feel led to do, but I think you got this one wrong.
I do not have the ability to be so magnanimous with my prayers
God can and will if he wishes
Jesus, the lamb of God, bore our sins in His body on the cross. He is the lamb for our atonement. He was SACRIFICED and paid the penalty for all sins. God’s wrath and judgement against sin - all sin - was satisfied by Messiah on the cross. I am forgiven in Christ. I am righteous in Christ. I am healed (body, soul, spirit) in Christ. I have eternal life in Christ. We are the ones who choose life or death. The way to life, the only way to life, is in and through Christ. Sooo, whose righteousness are you depending on? If it’s your own, good luck with that. “For God so loved the world (mankind) that He gave his only begotten Son; that whosoever believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Jn 3:16
I’m pretty sure he is on the team that God promised to banish to hell for eternity.
He does not believe nor “cling to guns or religion”. Ergo
He is doomed and thank providence for that
Forgiveness and praying is all good but shouldn’t nobama spend his time in Leavenworth to wait for the inevitable judgement?
A President that advocates starving healthy infants to death if they're an inconvenience is such a useful tool of Satan that such a President would have already rejected Christ on many occasions. King Barry doesn't routinely and deliberately mock God because he doesn't know any better, he does it because he's totally committed to the lie that Jesus Christ was not the Son of God. King Barry sees himself as a Christ, so he is anti-Christ and our enemy. We should be praying that King Barry will come to know Jesus but we should also be praying that all the enemies of Christ are struck down sooner rather than later.
If God were to see fit to ignore being mocked in this instance, Praise the Lord. If the evil Satanist is stuck dead in some horrible and painful way, Praise the Lord.JMHO
“Sorry guys.
I cant pray for the AntiChrist.”
AMEN!
Ditto. I pray for 0bama`s ___________ to happen in the most __________ way.
I use to snicker when people said that a few years ago.
Now I don’t.
The Narrow and Wide Gates
Matthew 7: 13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
True and False Prophets
15 Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
The Good Shepherd and His Sheep
John 10: Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a strangers voice. 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.
7 Therefore Jesus said again, Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.
19 The Jews who heard these words were again divided. 20 Many of them said, He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?
21 But others said, These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
Further Conflict Over Jesus Claims
22 Then came the Festival of Dedication[b] at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomons Colonnade. 24 The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered, I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Fathers name testify about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[c]; no one can snatch them out of my Fathers hand. 30 I and the Father are one.
31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, 32 but Jesus said to them, I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?
33 We are not stoning you for any good work, they replied, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, I have said you are gods[d]? 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God cameand Scripture cannot be set aside 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, I am Gods Son? 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father. 39 Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.
40 Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed, 41 and many people came to him. They said, Though John never performed a sign, all that John said about this man was true. 42 And in that place many believed in Jesus.
I have to remind myself of what: "Forgive us of our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." means first sometimes and then I'm back on track.
