That’s the common case. Miracles do take place from time to time, and quite often more of them as times get worse.
I have a hard time believing in the validity of any model of Barack Obama that claims he is anything other than a puppet, a figurehead. If something moves the puppet masters, it will be reflected with Barack. As the bible says, the heart of the king is like water in the Lord’s hands. A good stern rebuke this November will likely have him pretending he never said much of what he did say, over and over.
However the big picture is still the Lord’s. Barack Obama is a sober, stiff warning of where iniquity can go. Will people embrace the Lord more thoroughly? It is the choice left to the people. Not even God will force it, though He will weave the results into destiny.
