Pray for our Nation & President-Elect Obama - Day 51

Posted on 12/29/2008 11:08:30 PM PST by Blogger

1 Thessalonians 5 1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

Dear Heavenly Father, Our life is in Your hands. Whether it be the situation with our political system, or the situation with the earthquakes at Yellowstone, or the situation across the world with Israel and the Palestinians - our lives are in Your hands. And we trust You.

We know we do not deserve mercy - and should we not receive it, we accept it as Your will. Our nation can not expect to murder a whole generation of its unborn and not be punished. We hope that our nation will repent; but it has been almost 40 years and it seems to be getting worse. So, Lord, we ask for grace and mercy but accept whatever Your will is in the situation because we know Your justice can not abide such a despicable condition forever. Perhaps through judgement will come repentance. I don't know. But, we trust You.

Lord, we trust You when it comes to Barack Obama. We pray for his salvation. We pray that he will turn out to be a godly leader, knowing at the present moment that the theological situation that he placed himself in for 20 years was not the true gospel. Only You can make a difference here. And so we pray that You will. Save him that America may be led in a godly direction. Else, protect us from the evil to come.

Lord, we have fought a good fight - at least some of the time. We have fought it imperfectly and have sinned ourselves, for which we ask Your forgiveness. Our flesh is very weak. But, our Spirit wishes to follow You. And so, we ask for nothing more than Your presence with us. May You guide us,protect us, love us, and help us throughout whatever may come. And may we be a blessing to You.

I pray for Your people Israel. May they remember their God in this hour of trial. And may they have peace in Jerusalem.

And it is in the name above all names, the name of Jesus that I pray these things. Amen.

Joshua 24:15 ~ “Choose you this day whom you will serve ... but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

And may it be, Merciful Father, that our beloved country will choose You ... may it be that Barack Obama will choose You ... may it be that Israel will choose You. One by one, Lord, may we choose You ... You are Life. Amen ...

If Obama signs the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) this is what his presidency and those who voted for him will get from God. From my prayer time this evening, straight talk:

Jeremiah 16:1-13

1The word of the Lord came to me: 2You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place. 3For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place, and concerning the mothers who bear them and the fathers who beget them in this land: 4They shall die of deadly diseases. They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried; they shall become like dung on the surface of the ground. They shall perish by the sword and by famine, and their dead bodies shall become food for the birds of the air and for the wild animals of the earth.

5 For thus says the Lord: Do not enter the house of mourning, or go to lament, or bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, says the Lord, my steadfast love and mercy. 6Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, and no one shall lament for them; there shall be no gashing, no shaving of the head for them. 7No one shall break bread* for the mourner, to offer comfort for the dead; nor shall anyone give them the cup of consolation to drink for their fathers or their mothers. 8You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and drink. 9For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I am going to banish from this place, in your days and before your eyes, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.

10 And when you tell this people all these words, and they say to you, ‘Why has the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’ 11then you shall say to them: It is because your ancestors have forsaken me, says the Lord, and have gone after other gods and have served and worshipped them, and have forsaken me and have not kept my law; 12and because you have behaved worse than your ancestors, for here you are, every one of you, following your stubborn, evil will, refusing to listen to me. 13Therefore I will hurl you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your ancestors have known, and there you shall serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favour.

Very sobering words Darth. I pray it doesn’t have to come to that. But, if it does, I pray the severity of the judgment will fall on those who deserve it most (i.e., those who knew full well what they were voting for rather than those who were just too ignorant to realize what they had done). We all will pay for this gross error. The media chose both our nominee and the President. They will likely live to regret that day.

Prayers that our country be delivered from evil, and that our troops abroad and innocent citizenry not pay for any willfully naive or destructive efforts in the coming regime.

Prayers, too, that our Republican party finds its backbone and stands for sane and moral measures and doesn’t shirk from standing up to misguidedness and evil. Let it not duplicate the Jews of old in wandering around the desert for years on end.

Heavenly Father,

You are our Creator. You are the Ruler of the Nations. You are Almighty. There is no power above Yours.
And yet most refuse to acknowledge even your existence.
I am but an earthly manager with a number of employees to oversee. If any showed me even a tiny fraction of disrespect or disobedience that your people show you, I would discipline them immediately! How can we expect that You would not judge a nation who has chosen for it's leader a man who refuses even to spend one day in a house of worship to acknowledge You. Lord I pray for his soul, even as I shudder to think of the fate that will surely await him if he refuses to follow Your commands, and instead does what is wicked in your eyes.
I pray for Israel this day. They have suffered long these rocket launches into their towns. Give them clear victory over their enemies. The wicked Hamas has brought suffering to Israel and to their own people of Gaza. I pray for their quick defeat.
Be with us this day. Strengthen your people, who seek to follow you, for the days ahead.
In Jesus Name, which is a Name above all Names, AMEN

It is very likely that the media will pay for their errors of not reporting the news or being obligated to do their research on this fraud. 49% of us are probably not watching their drivel.

Barak Obama is no more the biggest mistake in our history than the ravings that Dubya was “the worst president” in our history.

oth show an appalling lack of knowledge of our history.

“Barak Obama is no more the biggest mistake in our history the ravings that Dubya was “the worst president” in our history.’

He will prove to be worst choice in this nation’s history for the times we are living in. You can take it to the bank. His failure will be more spectacular than his rise.

I think this is coming and I think what you said in this post only confirms this passage from Jeremiah.

Wonderful Counselor, Lord Jesus, come now and reign in Barack Obama,
Be Lord of his life this hour.
Come be his Counselor and his God,the source of his wisdom and power.

Oh my Beloved Jesus, I ask this in Your Holy Name.

Lord, some day in the future we will see You return to earth again, until then, we thank You that Your forgiveness means You look at us as though we have never sinned. We are blameless before You. For when You forgive, You don't sweep our sins under the carpet; instead You completely wash them away.
However, we will only receive Your forgiveness when we confess our sins to You, and stop doing what is wrong, and turn to You with our whole heart. Father, send Your Holy Spirit throughout our land today, to convict of sin, righteousness, and judgement. In Jesus name, Amen

1 Samuel 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee. 9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
