(1 Samuel 8:1-21)
But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD. And the LORD told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do." 1 Samuel 8:6-9
The LORD answered, "Listen to them and give them a king." 1 Samuel 8:21
God removes His hand from the United States, it is now time to act! With the election of Barack Hussein Obama as the next President of the United States, yesterday marked a watershed day spiritually for this nation. For decades now, this country has been operating in rebellion to God and His Truth. We legally slaughter 4,000 babies every day. We have made a mockery of God's Holy Institution of Marriage. God's plan for the family has been decimated. We have totally given ourselves over to the lusts of the flesh and the pleasures of this temporal world. We have bowed down to and worshipped every false god and idol created in rebellion to the God of the Bible.
Out of our rebellion to God, the people have now elected a man to lead this nation who is a staunch supporter of legalized infanticide. Speaking to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund on July 17, 2007, Senator Obama said, "The first thing I'd do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing that I'd do." President Obama will repay the support of those in the baby killing industry by insuring abortion on demand at any stage of the pregnancy, and through executive orders, he will wipe out any progress individual states have made in trying to ban abortions in their state. As President, he will elect judges to the US Supreme Court who will insure Roe vs. Wade is never overturned, as well as activist judges to the Federal Courts who will rule on the side of death in any abortion cases.
President Obama is also a great friend to the homosexual community and will be a champion of their radical agenda. President Obama will make it easy for gay couples to adopt children. I remember years ago warning people in my Daily Devotional that the homosexual community was targeting your children. People said I was over reacting. Today, an entire generation of children has grown up being brainwashed that being gay is normal and acceptable. They are being indoctrinated as young as kindergarten that there is nothing wrong with this choice of deviant sex. Again, through executive orders he will wipe out any gains made by various states to insure gay marriage will quickly spread across the nation, and the judges he appoints will help the radical gay agenda to move forward.
Today, the people of Israel should be very concerned. Over these past 60 years, they could always count on the full and total support from the United States government. No longer. It is bad enough we have had numerous Presidents now trying to make peace by giving away part of the land God gave to the children of Israel to those who want to see the Jewish people wiped off the face of the globe. Under President Obama, Israel will no longer have a friend in Washington that they can count on. Sadly for this nation, Genesis 12:3 that promises God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel is still in effect.
The truly sick fact is this will all be done by a man who will professes to be a Christian. Despite supporting the killing of innocent babies, the agenda and special rights of those who choose to commit acts of homosexuality, and believing the universalistic lie that everyone will get to Heaven regardless what they believe, President Obama proclaims to be a Christian. I have told you for the past few years that the biggest problem in Christianity, is the ever growing group of people who make up the Christian left. These are people who call themselves Christians, yet don't hold the Bible to represent Absolute Truth.
This liberal group that President Obama is part of, focuses on a social Gospel, things like world hunger, AIDs in Africa, and climate issues to name a few. These are noble causes Christians need to be involved in, but you can't just ignore issues like abortion and marriage like they don't exist. Most in the Christian left are a byproduct of this seeker/purpose driven/emerging church/liberal mainline denomination generation that lays down the absolutes of the Bible to attract warm bodies. It has flourished due to the gutless pastors who refuse to lead and preach a watered down, feel good, ear tickling message void of hard Truth so nobody is offended.
The nation has had Presidents before who were no friend of God and we didn't crumble spiritually. That is because there was still a vibrant remnant of true followers of Christ. Today, we have the better percentage of two full generations who have never been to church. So many churches today do little or no evangelism. Over the past 40 years, that remnant of true followers has dwindled down considerably as older saints have gone to be with the Lord and haven't been replaced.
The effect of Obama's election is that it will empower those who oppose the work of God. Those who serve satan will be bolder and more aggressive than ever. They will be targeting like never before, true followers of Christ. Spiritual crack dealers like Oprah who peddle New Age garbage are ok. Those who promote cults like Mormonism, the JWs, Scientology, Kaballah, and others are ok. The false religions like Islam, Buddhists, and others are ok. Those in the Christian left with their social agenda are ok.
Their target will be zeroed in on those who believe, preach, and teach the Bible is God's inspired, inerrant Word, representing Absolute Truth and our final authority in all matters. They will be out to destroy true followers of Jesus Christ. This will come in many forms, such as laws to call the Bible hate speech as other countries have already done. For the first time, real and tangible persecution is going to be felt by those who refuse to compromise the Truth of the Bible and preach the Gospel.
The end result is that people are no longer going to be able to stand in the middle. The election of President Barack Hussein Obama is going to finally force people to take a stand. You are either a follower of Christ, which means you are also a follower of His Word, or you are not. Jesus said you can't serve two masters. Elijah told the people on Mt. Carmel to CHOOSE who you will serve. My friend, it is now time to choose. If you going to follow Jesus, it is time to act!
I love you and care about you so much. I realize that very few can "hear" what I am saying today. They woke up in their bed this morning and it seems like just another day. I can empathize with the frustration of the Old Testament prophets as they warned the people of God's coming wrath and most of the people simply ignored them or wrote them off as kooks. Yesterday, God's hand came off this nation. True followers of Jesus Christ no longer have the luxury of sitting back and doing nothing. Silence is not an option any more. We must take our stand now, or we will no longer have that opportunity. We have the only true answer for this nation and for the souls of men. It is time to boldly and without shame or compromise declare that answer!
As I was praying over all of this the other night, before going to sleep I was flipping through the stations and I stopped at TBN. On the eve of the election, with the spiritual course of our nation hanging in the balance, I expected to see true men of God preaching great messages of repentance and a turning back to God. Sadly, these people are as lost as the sons of Eli or Samuel. What were they doing? Having a telethon, raising money by promising people if they sent them money all of their financial problems would be solved. It was like watching the fiddler play while Rome burned !
For those who have been following Liveprayer, you know in the Spring God gave me a vision for this nation. In July, I launched the Jonah Project. The Lord gave me this vision and the Holy Spirit guided me to set up this vehicle for exactly where we are at today. The Jonah Project is the plan from God to bring together the true followers of Christ at this moment in human history, to call this nation to repentance, to turn back to God and Biblical Truth, and to help lead the lost to faith in Jesus Christ while taking a bold and visible stand on the social issues of our day.
Let me encourage you today to become part of the Jonah Project. You can go to the Jonah Project homepage at http://www.liveprayer.com/jonah/ , watch the vision video, and sign up to be part of this great last days move of God. My friend, this is the only hope for our nation and for each soul. There is only one answer, JESUS!!!
In His love and service, Your friend and brother in Christ, Bill Keller
Plenty true.
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Jesus Christ
Hey y’all, I’m with you. All day today I have been reflecting on how we are eternal spiritual beings leading temporary human lives.
So, when the wrath of God is poured out, which the USA is willfully actively arranging sooner not later, those of us who truly have our names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, will simply be that much closer to leaving this realm and going Home, to our REAL home.
... so know Him well !!!
[People get ready, Jesus is coming, soon we’ll be going home, people get ready, Jesus is coming, to take from the world His own. There will be a day when we will be divided right and left for those who know Him and those who do not know, those who know Him well will meet Him in the air — hallelujah — God is with us; those who do not know, they will hear, depart, I knew you not; for my friends, you see, there will be a day when we’ll be counted, so know Him well, know Him well.]
He will never leave nor forsake his people but He can turn his back against nations. Read Ezekiel 14.
I do not believe God has removed Himself or His hand from America. I believe He loves America, and those whom He loves, He chastises. He may withhold blessings from us, but He has not withdrawn His Spirit and turned us over to ourselves...yet. I believe there is a remnant of faithful left in this country, and because of that remnant, He hasn’t turned His back on us. We MUST pray for Barack Obama and the others in our government. It may not be easy for us to do; heck, it may be downright painful, but it is obligation as Christians. If we can’t be obedient in praying for our enemies, in this case our president elect, and having Christ’s love (not our fleshly love, but the love of Jesus in that we seek Him to draw them to Him) in our heart for them, then we cannot complain if God does leave us for good.
I believe a great chastening is coming to America and this nation is going to be literally torn apart at the seams to acheive it. I pray for Obama’s salvation and for the evil apostates who are in our government which may happen as our nation will shatter in front of their eyes
In all honesty, we deserve more than a chastening, but God is merciful and His mercies are renewed daily. The choice is ours. We accept that He is not pleased, and we turn back to Him in repentance, and seek His face, and His healing touch can come to America, or we continue in the same manner that has brought us to this moment in time, and He withdraws Himself completely from us. We may have to go through a wilderness for a bit, but there is deliverance. Let us learn from the Israelites and not be murmurers or complainers, but be thankful for the chastising and draw close to Him, and see a revival sweep this land. Really, the choice is ours.
“In all honesty, we deserve more than a chastening, but God is merciful and His mercies are renewed daily.”
You got that right!!We have many stubborn folks in this country who are about to get perspective.
We have allowed so called preachers of the Gospel in our churches and to become spokesmen for Christanity. Such have often gone unchallanged. Among the biggest enemy of a free GOD fearing United States is groups like Americans for Separation of Church and State which often have ministers which operate from within these church seeking credibility as Christian spokesmen.
Certain laws are absolutes and even apply to our Creator. The most revealing one is opposing forces. There is GOD who is pure and good. There is Satan the evil one who destroys. the two can not coexist in the same place Although GOD has domain over Satan he can not be with him as Satan is sin.
A second law is Nature abhors voids and fills them quickly. If GOD is not present because He will not be where he is not asked to be then that leaves what then to fill the void?
I remember prayer in school although I was about 6 when the USSC ruled with Murray. Our local district ignored it as such till I was in high school. I was high school class of 76. School was safe. Growing up several of our school principals were either preachers or Ordained Deacons in their church. They didn't leave their Christanity at the school door step either.
The fight for our nation isn't a political one it's a moral and spiritual one. The last President who really understood it was Reagan. Despite the mans faults he was the last POTUS who truly focused on our real national illness. He sought the council on those who worked in the trenches trying to undo the moral decay of The Great Society. He didn't say Go Away or you'll cost me votes.
We became a nation of settling for degree's of evils. In doing so Evil got it's foot in the door and is now working fast to destroy all that the Founders hoped for us to have. By destroying the moral fiber of our nation evil will bring on our downfall. Everyones attention has been purposely diverted. Many fear the Islamic Boogiemen 5000 miles away while letting prince of darkness abide unchecked even in their homes but especially in national leadership.
The damage has been progressing since the mid 1960's but is now growing rampant as the love of many grows cold. Each generation since the start of The Great Society is becoming more and more detached in conscience. Everyone was looking for the big war US vs Communism/Marxism to happen. It simply waited till we became complacent and walked right in the front door instead of falling from the sky in the form of a bomb or military invasion.They took over from within and began laying their foundation in the United States between WW1 and WW2. By imediate post WW2 they controlled our universities where our next generation of leadership would be taught. They came here from Germany as they had been booted out there between the world wars. They were Marxist.
First hold on to what is yours meaning your family. Men need to be men again in their homes and women need to let them. It is a sacred responsibility not to be taken lightly. It is not a free ticket to abuse or provoke your family to justified anger either.
To the best of your ability protect and preserve it not just from obvious run of the mill thugs but the one who seeks to destroy the soul as well. Limit your business dealings as much as possible to those in your community who share that common bond. Work to save your communities if nothing else in just living by example.
GOD waits with open arms for the nation to ask Him to heal and restore it. But repentance is a must do first step before it can ever happen. This does not mean He has abandoned His chosen either. For He will allow them to grow together amongst the thorns.
Our leaders can be one of two things and the choice is ours. They can be a blessing for a nation putting GOD first or a curse to a nation as a whole that demands GOD get out of it's life. Hold on to your core beiefs and principles make them non negotiable and you'll earn much more respect from leadership from the local governemt to national.
The nation can change but we need skilled leaders to help set it in motion and begin changing peoples hearts again. It happened before beginning in 1979 with about 4-5 men from several different walks in life and different political parties who changed the course of the nation and it can happen again. They launced a social Conservative grassroots movement unseen in Americans modern history. A wise man running for office made their agenda a considerable portion of his. He too changed the face of the nation and even the world much of it for the better.
BRAVO bump!
Pro 21 :20 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
God is still on the throne !
He is still on the throne where He mets out both blessing and punishment. Obama is someone whose thinking tries to go above that throne and he will sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) as soon as he is inaugurated and guess where his presidency will go?
Also this:
5Thus says the Lord:
Cursed are those who trust in mere mortals
and make mere flesh their strength,
whose hearts turn away from the Lord.
6They shall be like a shrub in the desert,
and shall not see when relief comes.
They shall live in the parched places of the wilderness,
in an uninhabited salt land.
7Blessed are those who trust in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
8They shall be like a tree planted by water,
sending out its roots by the stream.
It shall not fear when heat comes,
and its leaves shall stay green;
in the year of drought it is not anxious,
and it does not cease to bear fruit.
9The heart is devious above all else;
it is perverse—
who can understand it?
10I the Lord test the mind
and search the heart,
to give to all according to their ways,
according to the fruit of their doings.
11Like the partridge hatching what it did not lay,
so are all who amass wealth unjustly;
in mid-life it will leave them,
and at their end they will prove to be fools.
12O glorious throne, exalted from the beginning,
shrine of our sanctuary!
13O hope of Israel! O Lord!
All who forsake you shall be put to shame;
those who turn away from you* shall be recorded in the underworld,*
for they have forsaken the fountain of living water, the Lord.
God already knows what Obama will do, God holds the Kings heart in His hand and turns it where He will.
It does not matter what Obama thinks of himself.. his presidency will go exactly where God ordains it to ... we need to hold our nation in prayer. God does not give us a spirit of fear..
his presidency will go exactly where God ordains it to ..
Into the dustbin of history.
“I don’t believe Fauxbama is the Anti-Christ...”
Nor do I, though I do believe he is anti Christ.
Darth Vader knows what he’s talking about. Do YOU?
That’s my ‘life verse.’ Thanks.
Oh, sure, like humans can correct anything. GOD is in control, not any of us.
