Join with those invoking God's Hand in preserving this Nation
JEFFHEAD.COM | 12 Oct 2008 | Jeff Head

Let us all join in with those praying for God's Hand to be revealed in this election cycle...recognizing, as did Patrick Henry over 230 years ago that God is indeed is involved in the affairs of man and nations, and as the Holy Scriptures themselves testify that He will indeed bless us if we turn to Him.

"We shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. " - Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775

"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." - God in Heave, II Chronicles 7:14

I submit, that God in Heaven has already raised up and brought forth one such friend and blessing. She is going across the width and breadth of this nation generating large crowd of enthused people of all creeds, faiths, races, and stripes who hold fast to the traditional American values and prinicples that made this nation what she is.

Many others, less known or visible to us are doing the same.

We must stand up and do our part in this election cycle, we must spread the word to all we know and come in contact with within our own spheres of influence, and then ask them to do the same regarding:

SARAH PALIN AND HER IMPACT

...and regarding the principle oppostion we, and she and John McCain face:

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA









SARAH PALIN DRAWS HUGE CROWDS ACROSS THE NATION








SARAH PALIN - YOUR BEST FRIEND OR WORST ADVERSARY





...AND AS FOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.


Barack Obama has willfully associated with hateful extremists for years.


Barack Obama has openly shown his disdain and disrespect for America's symbols.


Barack Obama's election headquarters has proudly displayed abjectly marxists flags and symbols.





CHOOSING THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES




NOBAMA MOVEMENT SPREADS ACROSS THE NATION

Father, you are a God of truth and justice. You are not a man, that you should lie. You set kings up, and bring them down. And right now, Father, while acknowleging along with Jeff the sins of our nation against You, I humbly ask for Your mercy upon us. I ask for Your hand to be upon our nation now, as we go through this election cycle and deal with this financial crisis.

I ask for You to open the eyes of the American people to the truth, because many are blind. Please do not let the liars and the cheaters win. I’m asking right now, Lord God, for a miracle, and that the hearts of the people in this nation be turned back to You, that we may continue to be a force for Your good in this world. I pray that we will once again seek Your face and turn back to you.

2 Chronicles 7:14 (New International Version)

If my people, who are called by my name, will 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.

“and I believe if we turn to God and invoke His promoise, He will help.”

I think that God would not be happy with the political pragmatism that is required for conservatives to vote for McCain.

conservatives aren’t happy about it either, but I think most of us are going to pull the lever for him on the promise that his running mate may add much needed conservative dialog to the office.

Whether you intended to or not, I think you wrongfully equate this election with an opportunity for God to show us his grace or wrath - and I assure you, there is no heavenly grace to be found in the election cycle, nor has there ever been, I suspect.

If obama gets in, that will convince me more than anything that this is the End.

In the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, AMEN.

Our Father will give us whatever we ask for, all we need do is ask in faith. Jesus will answer any request we make. And The Holy Spirit will inspire and sustain us in all our times of trial.

God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. We are so blessed to live in a nation founded on His generosity.

“It goes way beyond political salvation; it’s a matter of survival our nation and culture. A matter of survival, period. It goes deeper than you seem to realize.”

There is no salvation in politics. God sheds his grace on our nation through it’s citizens, not through the losers the GOP seems to nominate, time and again.

I believe that we aren’t just in a war for our nation, but that our nation is in the midst of a great spiritual war. There is just too much evil seething from the left for there not to be. The utter hated for Sarah Palin, Obama’s thirst for infanticide, the MSM covering up Obama’s racist and terrorist buddies, and now Obama’s connection to Muslim riots against Christians in Kenya. I don’t look at this as merely politics.

I agree. "Lutheran Pastor" ping to Charles Henrickson. Also including bcsco and Paul Heinzman.

I believe that God's hand is involed in all things my friend. How it effects us will depend on out own hearts and how they are ordered for the process whatever it may be.

I agreee that there is not much good in most elections of this day...but there are exceptions. I believe Sarah Palin is one such exception and that the values she espouses and the view she takes are more aligned with what most of us believe God's purpose for this land is, and has been.

In any case, our attitudes, the true feelings of our hearts and motivations can and will invoke God's Hand and His blessings as He has promised.

Those words of His from II Chron 7:14 are not my words...they are His and I believe them I also believe, as it plainly states there, that there is much we MUST do to be in a position to invoke such a blessing and action by God.

That's what this thread is all about.

Amen to every bit of that...as Pail said,

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12

Precisely...on this we agree, with the noted exception )IMHO) of someone like Sarah Palin, and it is the principle focus of this thread.

...and may we do all in our power to help that happen by educating, with reasoned dialog, and with prayers to God above to carry our message to the hearts of the people we contact, so that their eyes may indeed be opened.

“I believe that God’s hand is involed in all things my friend. How it effects us will depend on out own hearts and how they are ordered for the process whatever it may be.”

If God’s hand was involved in this election cycle, then John McCain is His wrath, and His indignation is Obama.

That said, God doesn’t smite us with politicians, we do that to ourselves.

God won’t get us out of this mess we’ve made out of our country, either. But nevertheless, prayer about our earthly politics probably won’t hurt, but it’s not likely to help much either.

What will help is throwing the centrists in the GOP out of the party leadership and replacing them with committed constitutional conservatives. God will hopefully have prepared a few worthy souls to lead the GOP in the future.

I wouldn’t be upset if He would smite a few moderate republicans, Old Testament-style on their way off the political stage, but He didn’t ask me for my list.

I’ve been praying that the Lord keep our Nation safe, to protect us from laws and policy that increase abortion, and that if He will, we not be turned over to the equivalent of Nebuchadnezzar (who went insane after carrying the Jews off to Babylon).

A mighty fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing
Our helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe
His craft and power are great
And armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal

And though this world with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us
The Prince of Darkness grim
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo, his doom is sure
One little word can fell him!

Lord Sabbaoth is His holy name
From age to age the same
And He will win the battle!

Leni

I woke up this morning, literally praying for this nation. I just woke up and was mouthing prayers. I lay in bed praying and suddenly was compelled to get up, grab the Bible and read. I read John, Matthew and Joel. It was amazing what Joel talks about.
Once I finished Joel, I continued praying, interceding for this nation and asking for forgiveness for my sins in order to reach the throne of God with my requests. I truly believe if our hearts are pure and we are trying to live a godly life, the Lord will hear our prayers.

Amen.

Yes! Amen and Amen!!! As quoted in 2 Chronicles 7:14 we are to seek His (God’s) face, not His feet (to do something for us) (nor His hands) but His face. And our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ said, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; ......Matthew 6:33a. My prayer is, as a people and a nation, we will flee ungoliness and youthful lusts, and persue godliness and righteousness!

I think that is fantastic!
My church is starting a time of 40 days of fasting and prayer, extending through and beyond election time. Not just for the election, but for revival personally, within our own church, and across the nation. I have personally felt convicted in the last weeks and especially as I've read the Psalms and Lamentations this morning (my daughter has strep or else I'd be at church :-) ) that I haven't done enough in standing up for righteousness. Since having kids, I've used the excuse that I'm too busy with them and with our own church, so my husband and I are not as active in pro-life work,politics, outreach to community etc as we used to be. We homeschool our kids, but how is that helping the millions trapped in government schools? How could we be reaching those with the truth? This is something I'm promising to God to not let happen again, to not just fight the good fight in my own home, but to find some way to be more of an influence for good in the community, to be more diligent about praying and working for revival.
