“After I heard that Obama had won, my first thought was one of surprising clarity; I knew that from this point on it would be about my and my family’s relationship with God, our dependence on Him, and nothing else.”
This had been governing my thoughts more during the lead-up to the election. In fact, as I grew more and more hopeful of a McCain-Palin victory, it struck me how that I have never found anything appealing about John McCain. I cringed when he was nominated and, until the choice of Sarah Palin, I had no desire to vote for him. As my spirit trembled within me at the thought of an Obama presidency, my “flesh” compelled me to generate enthusiasm for a...man. How foolish of me. How worldly. How carnal.
Why art thou downcast, O my soul, and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope, thou, in God!
A foriegn concept to most self proclaimed christians today.
It's already written that every nation will be aginst Israel. What we don't know is when.
I was thinking of the scripture too...
Yes this will happen, but if the remnant who still love God and this country pray we can take this country back.
And in the homes of Pelosi and Reid it’s christmas morning - the black messiah has been born.
I’ve got no use for a God like that.
You are absolutely killin me.
How pray tell is the current supreme court a whiney Obummer court????
The judges obummer replaces will be the libs - so the ratio will not change unless one of ours croaks...
I even have prolife family members that probably voted for him.
I probably pity them more than the ones who claim to be "pro-choice".
We deserve what we get but, the Bible foretells our plight.
Unanswered? No. We have been living in the book of Revelation ever since the time of Christ’s birth and before. We just are where we are in the Book of Revelation and in the history of an ever-increasingly EVIL society. It is written, and it is time that certain things are to happen. Perhaps we may be almost in the 37th and 38th Chapters of Ezekiel as it coincides with Revelation.
True Christians have petitioned God in great numbers, seeing the evil of this communist, Obama, and before him, the socialist, debauched Clintons, and now the Lord has spoken. I think he has said ENOUGH! It is almost past time to repent and more near the time to “let him that is filthy be filthy still”. However, I also think that we must warn to repentance and turning from our sinful behaviors as watchmen on the wall.
All of this will be designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to control the masses and to motivate them to follow and worship the beast; Obamessiah, America's new overlord… I mean “president”.
A time of spiritual testing is upon us all. May the true God and Father of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ have mercy upon us all and may His Holy Spirit help us to remain faithful to the true and living God, may we remain faithful to Christ as Salt and Light, courageous and strong in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation. I ask this in the name that is above every name; Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.
I need to fix the message (PRESERVE OUR CONSTITUTION). It is not relevant at this point.
Baloney! There is no God. That’s why he didn’t rescue us. Hitler rose. Stalin rose. Pol Pot, Mao, I could go on. This isn’t “our” fault; it’s the fault of the stupid and socialist-loving citizens of this doomed country who voted to give up what we had. To paraphrase the world’s most famous America-hater: for the first time in my life I am ashamed of my country. I can’t believe that there is another country with a population as stupid as ours.
Then those prayerful pleas for the more Godly man were ignored. Petition denied. God’s will and plan were executed despite the pleas of millions for something better.
It is highly presumptuous to declare outright that you know the intentions of the Almighty. Everything happens for a reason ... but we cannot know that reason this immediately. One could argue that McCain lost because of events beyond his control — and thus that he could not have won this election.
That bad things occur in our lives — politically or personally — does not necessarily mean God has withdrawn his providence. Perhaps Obama’s victory IS devine providence in the same way a tragic life-event can be a humbling and faith renewing event.
God does not work through agreeable events alone. When Carter was elected, it was a mere 4-years before dawn in America. I prefer to have faith that God has not abandoned this nation ... that God will not abandon this nation.

We should consider this another 9/11 attack, "from a faceless coward". This time, that coward is the electorate, the thieves, freeloaders, Marxists/Leninists. May it also, in the dark times ahead, lead us to lean on Him - not as a helpless onlooker, the "God is my co-pilot" idol of too many Christians, but as the One Who is Creator, Sustainer, Redeemer, and Judge of all men.
The question to all of us: Will we acknowledge God's sovereign hand in this? His hand, after all, cannot be stayed, and nothing comes to pass without His will.
I’m not Christian, so most of this gloss I skipped. But this may be the case, that G-d has turned his back to us. I mark it to the day none of the six branches of government (judicial, legislative, executive in both federal and state government) came to remedy and rescue the woman, Terri Schlinder, from the vile Judge’s evil decree that she be killed.
Bump.
“Most of my life is history, but I’m certain I will live to see the end of the USA.”
Quit being silly.
