The people of this nation have spoken.  But what have they said?  They have said, in my opinion, “There is no God, and if there is I really do not have to pay any attention to Him.”

Before I go any further I want to say that I have held off this long before saying this because I have been consulting with my Father about what to say, or if I need to say anything at all.  I am convinced that I do need to.  And if you disagree, see me as judgmental, or as filled with hate, or as bitter, or any of a number of ways you could see me, I am not. 

I love you, I love Obama, I love all but, I love Jesus more.  So for Him I speak. 

It is no surprise that the lost have said there is no God.  That is why they are lost.  I used to believe the same thing.  And when I believed this, I hated you, I hated Obama, and I hated everybody else.  Unborn babies were nothing.  Starving children did not move me.  The poor and needy did not receive a thought.  I was my own god. 

It is a surprise to me that a whole lot of the self proclaimed body of Christ does not believe they have to pay attention to Him.  If eighty five to ninety percent of this nation is calling themselves Christians, (not my statistics), how in the world can a man who believes in the slaughter of the unborn be elected?  And he could not have been without a lot of those same people voting for him. 

I hesitate in the name of love and unity to write this.  But in the name of true love and real unity I must.  The Jesus who snatched me from the jaws of death and hell could not possibly be happy with the choices made yesterday.  If you believe differently, then you do not know the same Jesus.  And I really want you to. 

Understand this.  I am not saying McCain was the right choice either.  In fact, I voted for neither.  And if he had of won I would be writing about him.  The things that would make me believe in his need for salvation would just be based on other issues.

There is a whole lot of angry, bitter Christians out there today.  Then there are a lot of people actually calling for prayer for the new POTUS.  In that I am in agreement.   But not with their focus. 

The focus of the prayers that have been called for are not proper.   J. Lee Grady has tried to give us a list of specific prayers to be prayed here.  My problem with this and many other of the suggestions out there today is that no one is saying to pray that Obama be saved.  On one forum I suggested it and a believer was shocked. 

Why in the world can we not recognize that just because someone declares something, it does not make it true? The Jesus I met and now serve, instilled a compassion and love in me that causes me to feel physically sick over the rampant murder of the unborn.  And I truly, truly, used to not care.  If that is what Jesus makes me feel, then why wouldn’t I believe that Obama does not know Him?

Look at Grady’s 3rd suggestion and tell me how in the world a man that does not know God can use His wisdom?

We are losing this war because we are not focused on the right things.  Those things are the things of God, and exposing what and who is not of God.  We are called to battle.  Whether we answer the call or not is totally up to us.

If you don’t like any of this or think I am something I am not, then so be it.  I will be in good company.

Because I love our president-elect I will pray for him.  I will pray that he meets Jesus Christ.

Love you all

I read the list of prayers that Mr. Grady asked us as citizens to pray for our President-Elect Obama. They are all good prayers, but you are right. Those prayers will not change Obama himself until he knows Jesus Christ and accepts Him as Lord and Savior of his life.

Until then, he will continue to do the same things over and over. Praying for protection for him and his family will not change his heart. Even if his advisors know Jesus Christ, that does not mean that he will follow their lead…because he does not know the God they serve. We HAVE to pray for his salvation. Pray for him to be saved and desire to serve God. Until then, nothing will change but only get worse. I do not believe that Obama is the antichrist. I believe that he is just another lost soul that we as Christians are responsible for reaching out to.

Please, everyone reading this, let Obama’s savlation be your main focus while praying for our country. God hears our prayers. And who knows….if we continue to pray for him to be saved, God may answer us and Obama could just turn out to be the best and most effective president we have ever had. ALL things are possible with God. Love you all.

Peace,
Connie

We might want to squeeze in a prayer for protection from President-elect Obama until such time as he gets saved.

Justin, you’re right about that. I’ll be squeezin’ in my prayer!

By the way, I may have led some of you to believe in my first statement that I might have supported Obama in the election. Let me assure you that I did not. Just so ya know.

Love to all
