(1 Samuel 8:1-21)
But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD. And the LORD told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do." 1 Samuel 8:6-9
The LORD answered, "Listen to them and give them a king." 1 Samuel 8:21
God removes His hand from the United States, it is now time to act! With the election of Barack Hussein Obama as the next President of the United States, yesterday marked a watershed day spiritually for this nation. For decades now, this country has been operating in rebellion to God and His Truth. We legally slaughter 4,000 babies every day. We have made a mockery of God's Holy Institution of Marriage. God's plan for the family has been decimated. We have totally given ourselves over to the lusts of the flesh and the pleasures of this temporal world. We have bowed down to and worshipped every false god and idol created in rebellion to the God of the Bible.
Out of our rebellion to God, the people have now elected a man to lead this nation who is a staunch supporter of legalized infanticide. Speaking to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund on July 17, 2007, Senator Obama said, "The first thing I'd do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing that I'd do." President Obama will repay the support of those in the baby killing industry by insuring abortion on demand at any stage of the pregnancy, and through executive orders, he will wipe out any progress individual states have made in trying to ban abortions in their state. As President, he will elect judges to the US Supreme Court who will insure Roe vs. Wade is never overturned, as well as activist judges to the Federal Courts who will rule on the side of death in any abortion cases.
President Obama is also a great friend to the homosexual community and will be a champion of their radical agenda. President Obama will make it easy for gay couples to adopt children. I remember years ago warning people in my Daily Devotional that the homosexual community was targeting your children. People said I was over reacting. Today, an entire generation of children has grown up being brainwashed that being gay is normal and acceptable. They are being indoctrinated as young as kindergarten that there is nothing wrong with this choice of deviant sex. Again, through executive orders he will wipe out any gains made by various states to insure gay marriage will quickly spread across the nation, and the judges he appoints will help the radical gay agenda to move forward.
Today, the people of Israel should be very concerned. Over these past 60 years, they could always count on the full and total support from the United States government. No longer. It is bad enough we have had numerous Presidents now trying to make peace by giving away part of the land God gave to the children of Israel to those who want to see the Jewish people wiped off the face of the globe. Under President Obama, Israel will no longer have a friend in Washington that they can count on. Sadly for this nation, Genesis 12:3 that promises God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel is still in effect.
The truly sick fact is this will all be done by a man who will professes to be a Christian. Despite supporting the killing of innocent babies, the agenda and special rights of those who choose to commit acts of homosexuality, and believing the universalistic lie that everyone will get to Heaven regardless what they believe, President Obama proclaims to be a Christian. I have told you for the past few years that the biggest problem in Christianity, is the ever growing group of people who make up the Christian left. These are people who call themselves Christians, yet don't hold the Bible to represent Absolute Truth.
This liberal group that President Obama is part of, focuses on a social Gospel, things like world hunger, AIDs in Africa, and climate issues to name a few. These are noble causes Christians need to be involved in, but you can't just ignore issues like abortion and marriage like they don't exist. Most in the Christian left are a byproduct of this seeker/purpose driven/emerging church/liberal mainline denomination generation that lays down the absolutes of the Bible to attract warm bodies. It has flourished due to the gutless pastors who refuse to lead and preach a watered down, feel good, ear tickling message void of hard Truth so nobody is offended.
The nation has had Presidents before who were no friend of God and we didn't crumble spiritually. That is because there was still a vibrant remnant of true followers of Christ. Today, we have the better percentage of two full generations who have never been to church. So many churches today do little or no evangelism. Over the past 40 years, that remnant of true followers has dwindled down considerably as older saints have gone to be with the Lord and haven't been replaced.
The effect of Obama's election is that it will empower those who oppose the work of God. Those who serve satan will be bolder and more aggressive than ever. They will be targeting like never before, true followers of Christ. Spiritual crack dealers like Oprah who peddle New Age garbage are ok. Those who promote cults like Mormonism, the JWs, Scientology, Kaballah, and others are ok. The false religions like Islam, Buddhists, and others are ok. Those in the Christian left with their social agenda are ok.
Their target will be zeroed in on those who believe, preach, and teach the Bible is God's inspired, inerrant Word, representing Absolute Truth and our final authority in all matters. They will be out to destroy true followers of Jesus Christ. This will come in many forms, such as laws to call the Bible hate speech as other countries have already done. For the first time, real and tangible persecution is going to be felt by those who refuse to compromise the Truth of the Bible and preach the Gospel.
The end result is that people are no longer going to be able to stand in the middle. The election of President Barack Hussein Obama is going to finally force people to take a stand. You are either a follower of Christ, which means you are also a follower of His Word, or you are not. Jesus said you can't serve two masters. Elijah told the people on Mt. Carmel to CHOOSE who you will serve. My friend, it is now time to choose. If you going to follow Jesus, it is time to act!
I love you and care about you so much. I realize that very few can "hear" what I am saying today. They woke up in their bed this morning and it seems like just another day. I can empathize with the frustration of the Old Testament prophets as they warned the people of God's coming wrath and most of the people simply ignored them or wrote them off as kooks. Yesterday, God's hand came off this nation. True followers of Jesus Christ no longer have the luxury of sitting back and doing nothing. Silence is not an option any more. We must take our stand now, or we will no longer have that opportunity. We have the only true answer for this nation and for the souls of men. It is time to boldly and without shame or compromise declare that answer!
As I was praying over all of this the other night, before going to sleep I was flipping through the stations and I stopped at TBN. On the eve of the election, with the spiritual course of our nation hanging in the balance, I expected to see true men of God preaching great messages of repentance and a turning back to God. Sadly, these people are as lost as the sons of Eli or Samuel. What were they doing? Having a telethon, raising money by promising people if they sent them money all of their financial problems would be solved. It was like watching the fiddler play while Rome burned !
For those who have been following Liveprayer, you know in the Spring God gave me a vision for this nation. In July, I launched the Jonah Project. The Lord gave me this vision and the Holy Spirit guided me to set up this vehicle for exactly where we are at today. The Jonah Project is the plan from God to bring together the true followers of Christ at this moment in human history, to call this nation to repentance, to turn back to God and Biblical Truth, and to help lead the lost to faith in Jesus Christ while taking a bold and visible stand on the social issues of our day.
Let me encourage you today to become part of the Jonah Project. You can go to the Jonah Project homepage at http://www.liveprayer.com/jonah/ , watch the vision video, and sign up to be part of this great last days move of God. My friend, this is the only hope for our nation and for each soul. There is only one answer, JESUS!!!

Who’s whining.
We are merely watchmen sounding the alarm to wake-up!
FINALLY, PLEASE WAKE-UP!
GET HOUSES IN ORDER!
PREPARE HEARTS AND SUBSTANCE!
GET CLOSE TO AND WALK CLOSE TO GOD!
SHAKE OFF THE CLUELESSNESS!
as we’ve been saying . . . for months to years.
INDEED!
You need to travel out there and find out for yourself.
Not so sure I’d put it that way.
“The meek SHALL inherit the earth.”
God will remove every last evil person from the planet.
Not us.
God will.
There will be no evil one left to take anything BACK FROM.
God will also erase every last hint that such persons ever existed. All record of their existence will be wiped away. All things shall be made as new. Not even memory of the evil doers shall tarnish the place.
For rational souls . . .
the issue is NOT
whether a mortal has use for God.
The ultimate issue is whether God has use for the mortal.
Don't lose heart, joesbucks. God isn't a short-order cook. When He fixes something, He does not do it according to our prescription, but His own, which far exceeds our ability to execute or even to imagine.
It may be that our Christian culture must be totally eclipsed before people return to it. Most adolescents rebel against their parents' teachings, but when they have children, most return. Among nations, ours is still young.
If I were made by a God would that itself not be proof enough that He had use for me?
I had long ago, in 1969, predicted that this struggle wouldn't be resolved until 2015.
yes—i agree with all that you wrote and had even considered “the fall” before i wrote my post on the Progressive Education Movement... however, i was aiming to be more specific in pinpointing the downfall of our nation... and in my opinion, it began somewhere in the 1880s... now i know other things before that led to the point in time in the 1880s when good Americans handed over our most precious resource to the controls of the government...
“My son, fear the LORD and the king; Do not associate with those given to CHANGE; For their calamity will rise suddenly, And who knows the ruin those two can bring?” – Proverbs 24:21-22
Johnny Hunt, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, said last Sunday, “I’ve read the complete book and in the end, WE WIN!”
Obama and his ilk will pay some day. God is angry.
True. Also to the point of this election, I have a black friend in her 70s who told me she has never had any overt problem of racial discrimination except once, in the 70s, involving a white man in her home town, a Vietnam vet, who opened his bowling alley to blacks — when she and her friends went there, white vigilantes turned them away, and eventually drove the bowling alley man out of business. Other than that, she claims Christ's blessings every day of her life, in spite of her relative material poverty due to having been widowed. She is one of my closest friends, and we have prayed together throughout this election season. For all I know, she voted for Obama, and if she did, I understand and cannot hold it against her. It's the deluded privileged classes who have mystified me; again, God is in control.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh . . .
but what sort of use . . .
Scripture indicates that some poor folks are made for the evil roles they play.
Yet He says he would prefer that all come to repentance . . .
There’s paradoxes . . . that our linear thinking doesn’t fit well around.
However, it seems abundantly clear . . . assuming we have a close relationship with God when we’ve really done nothing or relatively nothing to establish and maintain such a close relationship with God from our side . . .
is a galactically, eternally hazardous thing.
“God is angry.”
I sense like never before with this country.
We saved the world from Hitler. Who will save us?
This had to happen for His prophesy to come true. I was so blessed to have almost died and saw what Jesus can do. Now I fear no man. I will fight until God wants me to leave this earth.
Please reconsider speaking your fears into concrete form. It gives them power. Speak of God’s eventual justice for all wrong-doing.
Those will be the words on Obama’s political epitaph. I have been aggressively needling those in work who voted for this turkey and giving them reality checks with economics and history. They get PO’d but I don’t care. I have been telling them how quick things will switch back once their Messiah crashs & burns. He will fail catastrophically.
A person who believed in an all knowing and omnipotent God wouldn't worry about or question that IMO. But I could be wrong.
Among his many other uniformed postures, Obama claimed that "Barak" meant "blessed"; however, it is a separate Hebrew name from "Baruch", which does mean "blessed." "Barak" refers to a man who aided the prophetess Deborah in slaying the armies of Sisera after the people of Israel had strayed. (Judges 4 and 5).
Meaning of Bible Name: Barabbas
Son of shame, confusion
Meaning of Bible Name: Barak
Thunder, or in vain
Barak:
Flash of Lightning. in the Bible the Valiant Fighting Man Barak Cooperated With the Prophetess Deborah to Win Victory in Battle Against Overwhelming Odds
Meaning of Bible Name: Baruch
Who is blessed
Baruch
Blessed (Hebrew; male)
Doer of God (Greek; male)
Your point being...?
It's understandable that there is momentary disappointment. But true Christians will not let this election result turn into an obsession with negativity. They will have faith in God's plan to work through this situation. Notice that by the time Reagan died, he who had been terribly slimed and vilified by the left was recognized as one of our great presidents. And also notice that the left's darlings, the Clintons, have lived to see themselves eclipsed in public opinion. Sometimes it takes people some hard experiences before they wake up.
