A Clarion Call for the Church to press in with Fasting and prayer! Rasmussen: Mitt 30%, McCain 30%

why, me! | 2/2/08 | Freemike

[freemike]

Just wanted to put out a good thought!!

God cares about this nation and does care about this election! How much do we??? After all the blogging and talking,, will you be willing to press in with prayer and fasting??

Sometimes it seems there is nothing we can do than blog and complain! But,, that is really not true for the Christian! It is a lie from the devil formed in the pit of hell!

Ezekiel 22:30 "I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one."

God can do a great deal with just a little!! He searches for just "a man!" Nobody likes to fast! If it were easy, everybody would do it! Perhaps you can give up just one meal! Do what you can! Pray like you mean it! Spend an hour with God every day. Pray into the night! Stay up all night and pray or just commit to meeting God daily with a broken heart!!

Prayer is simple! Open your mouth and talk to God and then you are praying! Enter His gates with thanksgiving! Thank Him for all the great things He has done! It doesn't matter how you feel,, and you aren't being a hypocrite if you don't feel thankful! You are acting in Faith! Besides,, prayer isn't just about you! It is about Him!!!

2Ch 7:14 — "IF my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; THEN will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

I added the emphasis.

Talk to God! After you have thanked Him. Give Him some praise! Paul's praise brought down the prison walls! How do I praise Him?? Speak good things about Him! It's easy!! State that His name is above every other name! Tell Him what a good God he is!

Then,, be honest about yourself! Confess your sin! Talk to Him! Ask Him to heal this land! Pray for this election, our courts, our leaders!

Do you want to really be bold??! Want to really step out and say something crazy?? Proclaim things!!

Mark 11:23, "Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him."

Proclaim righteousness returns to our courts! Proclaim the the name of Jesus will be lifted up again in our congress! Speak to our schools that they will return to the foundation on which they were built! And speak to this election! That the more righteous man win!! Get radical in prayer!! Speak that our would so return to the Bible that all the nations of the earth would have to confess "Yes,, they left their God, but look! They have returned!! American is again a Christian nation!"

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

Pray that liars, thieves and deceivers will be exposed! Pray that the news media will report the truth!

God spoke,, and formed the heavens and earth! The Bible says our words also have the power of life and death!! Speak to the mountain! You say you did and it's still there??? Don't quit! It was years before Joshua and Caleb entered the Promise Land! But,, THEY DID!!!

I do not pretend to understand everything about God! Regardless of the outcome of Super Tuesday, regardless of the outcome of our general election, I do know this,,, God is not a liar and His Word is true!!! Nor do I believe God is finished with this nation! Ultimately, we have arrived here at this place because the church fell asleep! I blame congress for lots of things as well,,, but in all truth,, the blame is on the church doorstep,, and at in own homes. It all begins and it all ends in the prayer closet!

So,, will you join me in prayer and fasting over the next few days!!?? Not just for this election,, but for this nation,, that it may endure!!

I will leave you with these few scriptures,,

"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." James 5:16

"For men are not cast off by the Lord forever. Though He brings grief, He will show compassion, so great is His unfailing love. For He does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men." Lam.3:31-33

"For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But, even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. 'Do not fear what they fear;do not be frightened." 1 Peter3:12-14

Our hope lies only in God Almighty for men always fall short.

[YellowRoseofTx]

I’ve been praying for my country for months and months, and I’ve also been praying for my countries enemies, that their hearts and minds be changed.

[Jim Robinson]

Mitt 30%, McCain 30%

That means 70% of Republicans don’t like Mitt, and 70% of Republicans don’t like McCain. Too bad we don’t have a conservative in this race.

[Westbrook]

Amen!

Pray, dear saints, PRAY!!!

We all know in our heart of hearts that a McCain presidency has the potential to be worse even than a Hillary or Obama presidency.

At least with a Democrat as POTUS, the conservative base will be mobilized, and attempts to punish conservatives will be mitigated by the Republican contingent in Congress.

Under McCain, the conservative base will be punished, and the Republicans in Congress will be compelled to go along with him, however reluctantly, while the Democrats participate WITH GLEE!

PLEASE PRAY!!

The Nation AND the GOP will be destroyed with certaintly under McCain who has a long and shameful history of collaborating with Democrats AGAINST conservatives!!

[No Dems 2004]

I applaud your suggestion for fasting and prayer, but I must say that I hope you’re not suggesting that Mitt Romney is the right guys. If you want the Lord to be part of this, then consider the fact that Romney belongs to a religion that does not respect the Scriptures as they are written. I don’t think we would want a President who isn’t really a member of the Christian faith.

[Philo1962]

McCain’s victory on Super Tuesday is all but assured. Look to the future. In November our choice will be between John McCain and eight years of President Hillary Rodham Clinton with left-wing justices packing our courts. It’s an easy choice to make for any true conservative.

[B Knotts]

Make that four years of Hillary. Then we start from scratch.

If we give in, and vote for McCain, we no longer have a party.

[DoughtyOne]

Excuse me Mr. President, can I tag along?  Sure John, we need everyone we can get.

Statesman wanna-be John McCain speaks...

When it comes to Reaganism, I was right there leading the way...
...well, I was a foot soldier in that battle.

I don't share John McCain's goals for this nation.  Do you?

We need to make those tax cuts we helped push through permanent!

Yes John, whatever you say, but you fought them in the first place.

It's too bad there isn't a twelve step program for politicians like John McCain

I know one thing to be certain.  The White House is no place for his recovery.

[Westbrook]

..the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest [humblest] of men.
Daniel 4:17

Lord JESUS, have mercy on us!!

Deliver us from the onslaught of our enemies, domestic and foreign, those who endeavor to hurt us in myriad ways.

Please hear our prayer for the prenatal souls being sacrificed on the altars of lucre and "convenience".

May the hearts of our enemies be moved to mercy and grace and recognition of You as The Most High, for Your Glory and Purpose.

Amen

[svcw]

McCain’s victory on Super Tuesday is all but assured.

Why?
He would have to win all delegates in every state. Since half are not winner take all, JM will NOT be the winner.

This is going to a floor fight at the convention.

[greyfoxx39]

That means 70% of Republicans don’t like Mitt, and 70% of Republicans don’t like McCain. Too bad we don’t have a conservative in this race.

Someone hoping to change the numbers

[freemike]

I don’t think we would want a President who isn’t really a member of the Christian faith.

At this point, I will take an atheist as long has he/she is a liberty loving patriot, isn't prone to taking bribes, has virtues and is generally honest and of average intelligence. A liberty loving atheist patriot beats a big government liberal minister any day!

Now,, I did not mean to enter into arguing on this post.

If you read it,, I wrote that we pray that the most righteous man win!

I will be glad to argue on all my other posts!

[The Lumster]

We're gonna get what we deserve.

......to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. Dan 4:17

[nowings]

Which one is???

[Westbrook]

> I don’t think we would want a President who isn’t really
> a member of the Christian faith.

Other than George W. Bush, name one, JUST ONE, president in the last 100 years who claimed to be a blood-bought, born-again believer in Jesus Christ.

Mitt Romney may not be considered a Christian by those of us who go by The Book and recognize Mormonism as a cult led by a false prophet, but Mitt Romney’s demeanor and comportment in this presidential primary cycle has been above reproach.

Romney is, by my observation, more Godly than those, even some of us on this board, professing to be Christians!

One wife, five children, honest and successful in business, the least arrogant of all those running, less arrogant, I daresay than most of us on this board!

[newberger]

If McCain is nominated, I will immediately re-register as an independent!

[Maelstorm]

Jim you have that pegged right. We have hybrid Republicans.

[Maelstorm]

I pray none of them win the nomination.

[CARTOUCHE]

My suggestion is to start a Conservative Party USA. A shocking wake-up to the GOP.

[edcoil]

interesting, as active as I am in politics, I have not had a single robo or call on who to vote for tuesday yet.

[icwhatudo]

With Super Tuesday quickly approaching, I humbly suggest its time for a new FR poll.

"Which GOP presidential hopeful do you want to see win the most delegates on Super Tuesday?"

Mike Huckabee
John McCain
Ron Paul
Mitt Romney

[NittanyLion]

In November our choice will be between John McCain and eight years of President Hillary Rodham Clinton with left-wing justices packing our courts. It’s an easy choice to make for any true conservative.

I agree. I just wonder which third-party will put up a candidate worthy of my vote.

[Lily4Jesus]

Jesus said:...” it they are not against me they are for me”

THis is what the Lord revealed to me and that is why I’m fasting and praying for Romney.

[Lily4Jesus]

Remember that 10% of McCain’s comes from democrats and so called independents to derail the republican election.

[meandog]

Other than George W. Bush, name one, JUST ONE, president in the last 100 years who claimed to be a blood-bought, born-again believer in Jesus Christ.

Jimmy Carter.

Romney is, by my observation, more Godly than those, even some of us on this board, professing to be Christians! One wife, five children, honest and successful in business, the least arrogant of all those running, less arrogant, I daresay than most of us on this board!

..Carter, too, was successful in business (peanut farmer), like Mitt a governor, had three children, one wife, and promised "never to lie"...how'd you like the way he turned out?

BTW, a lot of people who have met Mitt claim that he is indeed arrogant and, most assuredly, Carter was!

[Lily4Jesus]

Thank you.

I couldn’t have said it better.

....”righteous indignation without sinning....”

[old school]

As someone said, we’re not electing a pastor, but the President of the United States! Obviously, no one is perfect! Is there such a man to be found?

[Lily4Jesus]

Jimmy Carter??????.....He is a wolf in sheep clothing

[Lily4Jesus]

What are you talking about.

God tells us to be Smart as serpent and peaceful as a dove..”

[Doctor Don]

I join you in praying for God’s will to be done. Almighty God can use a pagan, an amateur, a marxist or a mormon to do His will. I’ll leave you guessing of which candidates I am speaking. Where is the Gipper when we need him?

[Lily4Jesus]

I’ll be in agreement with you.

...”when two or more shall ask any thing in my name it shall be given unto them....”

[ShowMeMom]

Our hope lies only in God Almighty for men always fall short.

Amen bump.

[deport]

He would have to win all delegates in every state. Since half are not winner take all, JM will NOT be the winner.

---

I agree that the nominee won’t be selected by reaching the 1191 delegates needed with the results from ST. However I think it’s possible that one will come out of ST with enough delegates to go on and garner the remaining delegates that is needed from the over 1000 delegates that will be left to be selected after ST. I don’t see a three way split materializing such that it will be a brokered convention. That would require Huckabee to be a much stronger candidate than I think he’ll be..... JMO and obviously yours differs.

Have a good day.

[Lily4Jesus]

I’m also agreeing with you and freemike; a three cord rope is hard to brake.

If one can put assunder 1,000, two can put assunder 10,000 how much more three or hundreds if not thousand praying for Romney.

[Hattie]

I applaud your suggestion for fasting and prayer, but I must say that I hope you’re not suggesting that Mitt Romney is the right guys. If you want the Lord to be part of this, then consider the fact that Romney belongs to a religion that does not respect the Scriptures as they are written. I don’t think we would want a President who isn’t really a member of the Christian faith.

So let's see, Bill Clinton was what? a Baptist? a Christian?

[houstonman58]

"Mitt 30%, McCain 30% That means 70% of Republicans don’t like Mitt, and 70% of Republicans don’t like McCain. Too bad we don’t have a conservative in this race."

The real problem is that 70% of Republicans don't know Mitt, and McInsane is running a filthy campaign against him. Also, Huckleberry is taking valuable votes away from Mitt. If Romney loses the nomination then America loses a potentially excellent leader.

[WVNan]

"Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us; and we forbad him, because he followeth not us."

Jesus: "Forbid him not: for there is mo man which shall do a miracle in my name that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part."

Romney: "I believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior."

[Boagenes]

I loved Fred...and now I really miss Fred. He never got a fair shot.

[Nick Thimmesch]

Understand your math Jimbo and I’ll add this equation: we are going to need 100% of Republicans of ALL callings in order to beat either Her Thighness or Obambi.

How this will happen I don’t know: I just know it is going to need to happen in order to even start on a level playing field. Then we need to pray that if Hillary IS the Demonrat nominee (as I have hoped) that enough so-called “African-Americans” (also known as American-Americans) are still pissed enough at the Billary Show that they stay home on election day or at the very least don’t vote for her.

Amen.

[Westbrook]

> Jimmy Carter.

Ya GOT me there!

I almost forgot about Jimmah!

Wishful thinking I guess.

So Jimmah and George W. are the only openly-professing, born-again presidents in the last 100 years.

In my humble opinion, and for all his faults (he is, after all, human), George W is orders of magnitude more the man, and the Christian, that Jimmah every could be.

However, Mitt does not wear his faith on his sleeve.

When he was backed into a corner to defend his faith, his speech was second to none that I’ve heard on the subject of Faith in Public Life. In fact, it was a GREAT speech.

It moved me to tears, as it rang with sincerity and honesty.

Better than any mumblings ever delivered by mealy-mouthed Peanut Farmer and traitor to his country, James Earl Carter.

I do believe, that despite his flaws, and despite the fact that he is not a Christian in the Biblical sense, Mitt Romney is head and shoulders above ALL the others running for president.

And I voted for Duncan Hunter here in NH.

While it was a principled vote, I regret it, as I believe it hurt our best chance at having a conservative president, Mitt Romney.

While he was governor of Massachusetts, he may not have been conservative in the sense of what we call conservative, but he has risked ALL to admit his folly, admit that he has seen a better way, and pledge his heartfelt support for conservative ideals.

And I do believe it is heartfelt.

If he gets the Republican nomination, I will be able to vote for Mitt Romney without holding my nose, rather with confidence and assurance, even though he is not of the same faith as I.

Everybody I’ve heard who has met Mitt Romney have the opposite testimony of yours as to his level of arrogance.

I’m certain that you, as well as I, can be arrogant at times and sorry for it.

But everybody I’ve heard that has met Mitt and worked with and for Mitt never used the word, “arrogant”.

Maybe I missed something, but I submit that Mitt is our last best chance for the forseeable future.

[WVNan]

Wow! That must be a message from the Lord. Why would both of us think of that passage at the same time?

[Lily4Jesus]

I pray that God give you the spirit of discerment.

...”a tree is known by its fruit...”

....”out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks..

His WORD shall not come void.

[humblegunner]

I don’t think we would want a President who isn’t really a member of the Christian faith.

McCain sucks but at least he isn't a cultist.

[greyfoxx39]

Most GOP govs shun Romney

"There are plenty of reasons that might explain the former Massachusetts governor’s surprisingly weak support among his former colleagues. But one of them stands out: He appears to have inadvertently alienated a good many of his fellow governors as RGA chairman.

“Right or wrong, the general impression was that he spent way too much time on himself and building his presidential organization,” said a top Republican strategist who has worked closely with the RGA in recent years. “I don’t think anyone ever questioned Romney’s commitment to the organization or the work he put in. They questioned his goals or his motives. Was it to elect Republican governors, or to tee up his presidential campaign?”

[Westbrook]

> Most GOP govs shun Romney

Yes, governors like Huckabee and Schwarzenegger, right?

Nice try.

No sale.

[Lily4Jesus]

His kids know the Father’s voice.

...”Fear not believe only...”

[WVNan]

Amen. The sheep know the Master’s voice.

[humblegunner]

Mitt Romney may not be considered a Christian by those of us who go by The Book and recognize Mormonism as a cult led by a false prophet

Absolutely correct.

Romney is, by my observation, more Godly than those, even some of us on this board, professing to be Christians!

Yes, cultists are tricky that way.

One wife, five children,

That we know of.

[Lily4Jesus]

Not because one calls himself a christian is a christian.

If I’m born in a garage that doesn’t mean I’m a car.

A tree is know by its fruit.
