that hand of protection was gone long before Obama - abortions alone would have prompted that
He sure hasn't removed his hand from my life...I see his touch everyday.
BTW I take care of my 90+ year old parents and, without the hand of the HS, things would be noticeably different.
God may be chastising those who have rejected him but there are many in the U.S. who have not. From what I can tell the U.S. and its citizens remain phenomenally blessed.
Has the Holy Spirit removed his hand from the Godless/Satanic Left? I don't think it was ever there. I think we can look at the many mistakes of the Obama administration and see that the Holy Spirit is absent (nor is He wanted).
As an aside, my next door neighbor has served in Iraq with the Guard (he is a devout Christian) and he believes God's hand was with him everyday while in harm's way.
