Barack Obama has stated publicly that he is a Christian. I can say with all assurance that he is not a Christian, for he is readily discerned by his fruit.

Matthew 7:15-18
"Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.”

Barack Obama is a “deceitful worker.” He says he is a Christian, but his other words and actions belie such a claim. Barack Obama is an advocate and defender of homosexuality. He has voted against any and all limitations against abortion, even to voting down a bill that would have required medical personnel to provide life support to babies who were born alive during a failed abortion attempt. Time and space does not permit an exhaustive accounting of the unrighteous words and actions of this man who is labeled as “the most liberal member of Congress.”

The apostle Paul wrote “it is not surprising if [Satan’s] servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.” It has never been witnessed an election before that spent so much effort in seeking to portray a candidate as a servant of righteousness. Congressman Ron Paul recently shared in an interview with Alex Jones that the Obama campaign received and spent 750 million dollars. This included full thirty minute programs running on multiple channels simultaneously. Ron Paul says the amount actually expended, when considering all the free press and positive news reporting on Obama comes closer to two billion dollars spent over the past two years.

This is a staggering sum of money to be spent to form an image of this man in the minds of the populace. It eclipses all the money spent by all other candidates combined. Certainly Satan has very big designs for this man who has been promoted to such an extreme degree.

Yet, it is not simply the amount of promotion that is evidenced, but the form of this promotion. Barack Obama has had an image shaped around him of one who is a messianic figure, a savior of mankind. The language employed in his promotion has been the language of religion.

 

 

 

 

The images of Barack Obama have been religious in the mental associations they evoke. This religious tone is easily recognizable, even flagrant at times.


At other times it is subliminal, but definitely recognizable.

 

 

This use of the (Left Photo) hand symbol was encouraged among supporters of Obama. The main focus is on the shape of the O, as in Obama. What is more subtle is that the arms and hands together form the shape of the A. The message is once more messianic. Obama is the Alpha and the Omega. There is even an outraying of light spreading forth from this symbol.

 
Authentic anointing is defined as “the power of God to accomplish His will.” Whenever God appointed a man or woman to a work, He never intended them to carry it out in their own strength or power. He would provide them the power to accomplish His work. The flesh cannot accomplish the will of God, for it profits nothing. It is the Spirit who alone can accomplish the works of God.

Satan, of course, offers a counterfeit anointing in order to enable men to accomplish his works in this world. Satan rarely marches out and openly identifies himself, or his workers. He seeks to portray himself and those in league with him as workers of righteousness.

II Corinthians 11:13-15
Such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles [sent ones] of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

These false apostles and deceitful workers are one and the same as those whom John called Antichrists.

“They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.”

It is evident that Barack Obama is being promoted as a messianic figure, a savior of mankind, and multitudes of men and women have bought into the hype. Their words of praise, and the unrealistic expectations they have of this man, are truly those that one would find in association with someone who could walk on water and provide bread out of heaven. Even national reporters, who have attempted to maintain an appearance of objectivity, have lost all reserve.

Chris Matthews of MSNBC had the following to say:

I have to tell you, you know, it's part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama's speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often. No, seriously. It's a dramatic event.

Illinois State Representative Jesse Jackson Jr., who was a part of the Obama campaign made the following statement after Obama won the Democratic nomination for President.

I cried all night. I’m going to be crying for the next four years,” he said. “What Barack Obama has accomplished is the single most extraordinary event that has occurred in the 232 years of the nation’s political history. ... The event itself is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance.


This excess of praise is not mere hyperbole. Those making such statements are serious. On November 5th, the day after the Presidential election, the front page of the Macon Telegraph contained an image of Obama covering 3/4 of the page, with the following words superimposed on the image, “LET US SUMMON A NEW SPIRIT.” These words were excerpted from Obama’s victory speech. The context of these words was as follows:

"Let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other."

It is found revelatory, however, that in Macon, Georgia, a center of Masonic influence, that the local newspaper cited the specific words that were chosen. Obama IS summoning a spirit, and imparting it to others as surely as Todd Bentley was manifesting and imparting unclean spirits in Lakeland, Florida.

I was made aware a few days ago through a comment by Jim for the article 
"Is Barack Obama the Antichrist?" that on November 5th, the day after the election when results were published in the papers, the Illinois lottery had an unusual manifestation of very symbolic numbers. Barack Obama is a senator from Illinois, residing in Chicago. The lottery numbers there can be verified at the website of The Chicago Tribune.

The Pick 3 numbers for the day after the election were 6-6-6.

The numbers 6-6-6 should be familiar to everyone.

Revelation 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

Is Barack Obama “AN Antichrist?” I am confident that he is. Is he “THE Antichrist?” I do not know. I have received no revelation from the Lord or from the Angels to tell me that he is or is not.

It is evident that his agenda will be to bring forth the one world government that is prophesied for the end of this age. He has been called “the world’s president,” and his popularity abroad is huge.

The hour is certainly late. God is giving His people many warning signs of what is coming, but far too many are asleep. Their slumber will prove costly.

Ephesians 5:14-17
Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light." See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days.

Why judge others when you yourself are blind guides
by Beatrice Williams on 13th Nov, 2008
Catholics are the biggest Anti-Christs....check why...
You do exactly opposite of what Christ taught.

Matthew 23:13"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
15"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.

16"Woe to you, blind guides!

Guardian Angel is appointed for men to inform about the comings..
by Joseph on 13th Nov, 2008
The message contained here has been touched and deepened in my heart, and I sensed that it is needed to be written. Understanding and embracing what is shared here will be vital for all those who would pass through the approaching days of trouble as over comers in Christ.

It is a difficult message to convey. I do not doubt that some reading these things will continue to charge Guardian Angel administrator with error, but before God the conscience knows no condemnation in these things.

If you walk with God through what is coming, and do not shrink back, you will find strength and courage. A great many believers will be brought to trials. It is my hope that you might avail yourself of the grace to count the cost, and to follow your Lord to whatever end He may choose for you. The people of God will be called to endure many trials. God will not lead His people to avoid these trials, but they can be passed through successfully.

It is necessary to define what success is in God’s eyes. Many Christians have defined success in ways that are foreign to the mind of God. I know that success to a great many Christians is equated to a life of comfort, devoid of pain and suffering. Let me provide an example to illustrate this.

In 1999 the Lord called me to leave my employment as a computer professional and to enter into a ministry of writing while trusting Him for all the provision of my family. I had a wife and two children who were at that time ten and twelve years old. The experiences we went through for a period of six years were fraught with trials and difficulties. We rarely had enough money to purchase anything beyond bare necessities, but God always provided that which was necessary.

My family and I were able to witness a large number of divine interventions on our behalf. God would bring us to some trial and then deliver us from the peril that threatened us, often at the very last second.

Over and over God led us into a crisis, testing our faith and obedience. I was tempted to turn back from the path God had directed me to walk down on many occasions. It was his grace, and a fear of falling short of God’s pleasure, that kept me from shrinking back. I found the path God directed me to walk very painful, and God did not spare me the reproaches and condemnation of fellow Christians, family members, and friends.

I could have turned away from the course God directed me down, but I knew to do so was disobedience. I knew that the promises of God are obtained by costly obedience, and I feared disqualifying myself for the crown set before me, and I feared influencing any of my family members to do the same. I could not bear the thought of being responsible for causing my wife or children to stumble in faith and obedience through the example of my own failure.

Many Christians choose to avoid such a life, for they do not view things from the same perspective as God. Many Christians are much too temporally focused, rather than looking to the future when we will all receive reward for the deeds done in the flesh. If brought to choose, many Christians would prefer a long life free of suffering that fell short of obedience, over a short life of great conflict and victory. In the end, none who choose the more difficult path will regret having done so, but those who choose to avoid suffering will experience weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth when they stand before the Lord of glory.

I feel Guardian Angel is appointed for men to inform about the comings..

In the coming days, Christians will be presented with a choice. The Spirit will indicate that it is the Father’s will that they enter into a wilderness experience of suffering and hardship. There will be alternatives. The world will set forth its offer of peace and safety, but it will come at the cost of disobedience to the Father. The people in the wilderness under Moses’ guidance spoke of appointing themselves new leaders and returning to Egypt. The same temptation will be present in coming days.

You will have to choose to follow the course that you know the Spirit to be guiding you down, even though you see hardship and suffering ahead of you. Obedience to the Father provided no other choice but to follow where He was leading. Believers today have no discernment of the ways of God, and His determination that they must be perfected through suffering.

Romans 8:16-17
The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

People of God, these were severe trials, but God will give the grace to stand and to trust Him. There is no tragedy for one who dies obeying the Father and trusting in Him. Yet, to disobey God to prolong one’s life is a great tragedy.

Colossians 1:24
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions.

A people who value obedience to God above the love of life itself, will strike fear and terror into the heart of Satan’s kingdom. A people who value life above faith and obedience will be terrified and tormented by the fear of death. They will fall into disobedience. We must come to understand that death is not the tragedy that the world views it as. The only tragedy is to die in disobedience. The godly need not fear death.

A choice will confront all the people of God in the coming days. There is nothing new under the Sun. What has been done, will be done again.

People of God, What will your choice be?
 
Pray fervently!!!!
by Nora. Fernandes on 13th Nov, 2008
Well i have been through your article about Obama being antichrist, all that i have to say is that Obama is God's creation His very own child. If you trust and beleive in God the almighty no Obama or anyone can destroy you. Recite Psalm 91 trusting , believing and claiming its promises on you , your family and moreover on the whole world. The power of dedicated prayer with faith cannot be questioned. May GOD bless all of us.
 
Obana being mistaken for the Second Coming.
by Janet Daley on 13th Nov, 2008

There is a video clip running on YouTube at the moment which shows a black woman moved nearly to tears at an Obama rally, telling a television interviewer that all her problems will be at an end when he is elected president. She won’t have to worry anymore about putting gas in her car or paying her mortgage because “he will help me”. It would be easy to find this absurd - the blind faith of an unsophisticated voter who has clearly mistaken Barack Obama for Jesus - but in truth it is both sad and alarming. I can understand the sense of the miraculous that Obama’s likely accession to the presidency must involve for African-Americans: I grew up in the US at a time when even the cities of the northeast were almost entirely segregated. (It was called “de facto segregation” as opposed to the legally enforced version that prevailed in the South, and was even more pernicious and intractable in its way.) But this woman’s testimony is a reminder of something deeply disturbing in the Obama phenomenon: the fact that his campaign has shifted its tone from his original “post-racial” stance to one that is subliminally evocative of black evangelism. Far from his earlier intellectually nuanced and racially neutral delivery, his cadences and his frankly inspirational stump speeches now have the unmistakeable ring of the black pulpit. Little wonder that his candidacy is being mistaken for the Second Coming.

What will this mean for the future? What if, as will almost certainly be the case, the great deliverance fails to deliver? The disillusion and sense of betrayal may create divisions in American society that will be greater and deeper than any we have seen for a generation. The sense of hopelessness and bitter disappointment may well be - as Americans say - toxic. Then again, maybe American politics will simply get the grown-up message that no one mortal is the final answer: that the fulfilment of the American dream must always lie within the individual and not with the government. To be fair, Obama himself suggests this when he tells the crowds, “It’s not about me - it’s about you.”
 
Obama “The most ungodly US president”
by Julio Severo on 13th Nov, 2008
“I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.” - Jesus Christ

And now, what will happen to the US spiritually?

The world’s leading evangelists, has been concerned about the American economic crisis, and with the election of Barack Hussein Obama as the 44th president of the United States. They declared, “the hand of God has been removed from this nation.”

They said that the nation has just elected a man who will insure abortion on demand in all fifty states, champion the radical homosexual agenda, and be friendly to those nations that want to see Israel destroyed. They also said,

“The destruction will come in many forms such as the introduction of laws that allow the Bible to be referred to as hate speech, as other countries have already implemented. 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.” [9]

“It depends on the Christians.”

This nation lies in the hands of the Christians.

We must spend time in deep intercessory prayer and cry out for God’s mercy upon America. For all our friends who are not in the United States, if Christianity comes under the assaults that it would under a government controlled by Barack Obama and the Liberal Democrats, it will have horrible negative effects on the Gospel throughout the world.

He's not the messiah . . . He's is a Satan...
by Leixlip on 14th Nov, 2008
It might be fair to say that Barack Obama is a rather divisive figure. Sure, he preaches a mantra of respect, tolerance and dignity -- y'know, all that wishy washy liberal stuff -- but can you really trust someone who is, according to whoever you listen to, a black, mulatto, atheist, muslim, peacenik, war-monger?

But none of the above i mentioned is accurate, it seems. Because Obama is, in fact, the antichrist.

The latest YouTube sensation is the charming footage of a deranged black woman teaching her five-year-old daughter to say 'f**k Obama' before going to explain, with all the bug-eyed certitude and train of thought that depicts someone who is obviously familiar with the inside of a crack pipe, that Obama actually has 6/6/6 on his head, is literally the son of Satan and, in fact, the whole election was all part of a bigger plan.

Barack Obama will eat your souls.
by Apostropher on 15th Nov, 2008
Yes, I believe he is the winner in 08 and we will be finished by 2012. I feel in my soul that he is the AntiChrist. He's too good to believe. Where did he come from? Where did his name come from? What evil forces are behind him?

He truely is evil. We all know this and can feel it in our bones.
Did anyone read the TIME Magazine article on Obama? It really creeped me out. At one of Obama's speaking engagements he was introduced in the following way: "He's all of us! He's not black! He's not white! He's not ..." The speaker then faltered and realized that she was about to say that He's not male or female. This kind of a description for anyone is worrysome. I believe that this is exactly how antichrist will be.

i have to admit i have been getting a little spooked about this rising star from the middle east. it just seems to cap off all the other things that have been spooking me as well such as digital angel ("mark of the beast"), these wars in the middle east, this modern day Rome that seems to be happening, the weather, these past natural disasters, etc. etc. etc. hope the best for all of you.
 
Fear not for I am thy God
by Jasica on 15th Nov, 2008
Isaiah 41:10 - Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Righteousness means to be in the right. Like truth is connected only to the Word of God similarly righteousness is also connected only to the ways of the Lord. Man's righteousness can be called as being good but they still can not be truly called righteousness. Our world and sight is too small to know the right path.

The righteousness of God can be either good or bad for man. If we are on the right side or on the right hand of God's righteousness it will prosper us and build us. But if we are on the wrong side or the left hand, it will destroy us and still make us an example. Examples for both would be Moses and Pharaoh in Exodus; both were used as instruments to glorify God.

The Lord is telling us today 'fear not' which means believe in the truth, which is in the Lord and his Word and He will lift us up with his right hand. This means we will receive all the goodness of the Lord. So, just believe in your hearts and open your hands wild to receive.

Lord, your Word can move mountains, both physically and in spirit (our problems). Lord help me close my physical senses to the bad news, especially my eyes that read all the depressing news on newspapers and my ears that hears all the disasters on radio, television and from people. Open my spiritual eyes Lord, that I may see all the great things that You have set before me to receive. I ask this in Jesus' Name, Amen.

Who is OBAMA?
by Sebastian D'Souza. on 17th Nov, 2008
Dear Readers,I have gone through the article on Obama,and also people's remarks on him. Many people have already branded him ANTICHRIST. I think,in haste people have already made a decision without going into the scripture which is the word of God. First of all, the Bible is very clear about the antichrist. Though BARACK means lightning, as some have outed as Jesus saying that he saw lightning falling from heaven when disciples came and inform him about what they did in his name. Yes,it is true but that does not refer to Antichrist but Satan. And it is also true that when God's children cast out demon or when miracle takes place, Satan falls from heaven even today. So do we mean that whenever satan falls Antichrist is come? Bible says that antichrist is already there in the world even during Paul's time. But real Antichrist will not come in open untill the Holy Spirit allows him to come in open. Bible has already cautioned saying the one who is holding him back will do till he finishes his work. Who is holding this antichrist back? he is the Holy Spirit. The mighty Holy Spirit will hold him till all God's children come in his fold. The work of the Holy Spirit is going on day and night. God is collecting his children from this world throuigh the Holy Spirit. My request to each and everyone to commit their life to the Saviour Jesus Christ before it is too late. Once the work of the Holy Spirit is over, the Holy Spirit will be taken away from the world. And after that nobody will be saved.And the Antichrist will come in the open.

Bible has also given clear indications from where the Antichrist will come. For that one has to go through the scripture. The Antichrist has to be from one of the ten European countries.He is definately not from America or Africa or Australia. So why worry about Obama? Everyone's worry should be to get saved and get ready for Jesus's coming. The time has come for everyone to ask God as to how can I be saved. God has already told the world in his book that is the bible. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son Jesus Christ that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(John 3:16) If anyone does not want to perish he should come to Jesus and commit his life to him.There is no other way but Jesus.For Jesus says. " I am the way and the truth and the life.No one comes to the Father except through me."(John 14:6) Read this verse carefully. He says If any one wants to go to God he should go only through his Son Jesus Christ and not through anyone else. Instead of looking to antichrist,people should look at Jesus and commit their life to him.Once you do that,then trust him and he will save you from going into the hands of antichrist.After all who is antichrist? Is he powerful than Jesusus Christ? Noway.

My dear brothers and sisters,my humble request to each and everyone that Jesus is inviting you,listen to him and come to him and commit your life to him.If you want to do it,please say this prayer." Lord Jesus I believe that I am a sinner. I also believe that you died for my sins. Lord Jesus please forgive my sins and cleanse my heart with your precious blood. Lord Jesus,thank you for forgiving my sins and making me worthy to come before you. Lord Jesus today I commit my life in your hands.Please accept me as your child and give me your Spirit. Lord Jesus,thank you for giving me your Spirit. I promise to read your word everyday and follow your teaching. I also promise to apply your words to my life.Lord Jesus once again I thank you for everything you have done in my life. I praise you my Father,I worship you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.Amen."

Brothers and sisters,as you have said this prayer,believe that our loving God has heard your prayers and accepted you as you are and made you his child.From today onwards try to spend some time with him so that he can speak to you. Everyday try to spend some time in reading his word so that he will speak through his word. Your life will be totally different from today onwards.You have become his rightful child,his heir and future vessel for his glory. Hallelujah. Let hundred antichrists come, no one can harm you,no one can touch you. Because you are God's child. When ever you feel lonely, call upon Jesus and he will take you in his embrace.Hallelujah.I would love to write more on Antichrist. But wordly people will not understand God's language which is his scripture.To understand God's language one must have his Spirit that is Holy Spirit. Then only one will understand what God says. Worldly people understand worldly language and Spirit filled people will understand God's language. Bible is not a ordinary book that any one will understand.It requires God's Spirit to know God's words. We speak to the worldly people in worldly language.Once they accept Jesus as their saviour,God gives his spirit to understand his word.Everything becomes plain to him to understand.God speaks to him and not only that God makes him day by day like his son Jesus.Hallelujah. You will enjoy God's grace.You will be blessed abundantly by God himself. If you require any counselling,feel free to contact. I am always available on this website. Bye.
 
Pray for His will in all things
by kevin L on 19th Nov, 2008
I believe that God uses both good and bad for his will. We are all in his hands, only he knows our hearts. Pray for His will in all things. Pray for forgiveness, for His protection, for your loved ones and your enemy's. Do not fear the devil, as he has no power over us. But put on your armor of God. Peace and Joy to all my brothers and sisters in Christ. No one knows the hour of his return.
 
Was This God's Will?
by Lesley Rogers on 19th Nov, 2008
Was This God's Will?
Was what happened Tuesday God's will? I am quite confident it was not. America was offered a very clear choice between moving further toward protecting the unborn or further away; between a Supreme Court that would move toward honoring God, life and morality or away from it. The stakes couldn't have been higher nor the cost greater.
As a nation we put on blinders concerning Barak Obama's background, associations, beliefs and practices, and set these causes back years, possibly decades. And in doing so we took another step away from God and His plans for America, and another step toward judgment.

Judgment Will Increase

This is not a fire and brimstone warning from an angry,legalistic preacher. In fact, I feel more sadness and grief than anything else.
Perhaps I feel what Jesus felt as He wept for Jerusalem while announcing its judgment. I am not hoping for judgment; I am saying it is inevitable. I don't know where the unbiblical belief comes from that says a nation can live any way it pleases, can reject God and His ways-even mock Him-and not receive His judgments. Nor do I know when the belief came that it is always mean-spirited or judgmental to warn of these things. To the contrary, I believe it is our responsibility.

In warning of judgment, I am not suggesting that God is going to intentionally and directly hurt people. Much judgment is simply the absence of God's protection and provision, caused by a rejection of His laws and ways. We have been experiencing some forms of judgment in America for years, but God in His incredible patience and mercy has kept us from the level we've deserved. I believe this will change to a degree and judgment will now increase:

For those in the Church who aligned themselves with pro-abortion forces, I believe judgment will result.
For leaders in the Body of Christ who refused to take a stand for fear of losing people, money, and tax-exempt status-I believe there will be a degree of judgment.
For those, both within the Church and without, who voted money over morality-a potential raise or better health insurance over the life of a baby-there will be judgment. (The irony is that this decision to base one's vote on the hopes of a better economy won't produce the hoped for result anyway. The scriptures teach that it is righteousness which exalts a nation and that the nation is blessed whose God is the Lord.)

I have heard the argument that God cares as much about social justice issues (such as poverty and racism) as He does abortion, making a vote for Obama OK. I certainly believe God puts a very high priority on caring for the poor and I, too, have wanted to see equality demonstrated through a "minority" president. But to equate having a better income or the desire for a first black president, regardless of his positions ..ion and morality, to the issue of killing 50 million babies is not justice-it is a gross distortion of justice and great deception. I fear that we have been desensitized to this issue of abortion. I believe it kills babies and takes innocent life. I also believe it is blood sacrifice that empowers demons. Let's not forget this in our noble attempts to be kind and conciliatory.

For African Americans I can easily see how it could bring healing to have a first black president, just as it would be for Native Americans to achieve this or for women if a woman were elected president. Again, I have wanted to see justice in this way. I am only saddened that the price for this healing ended up being Barak Obama, a man that will set the cause of life and, most-likely, our God-given destiny as a nation back so drastically. (I also realize there are some who interpret any criticism of Obama as racism. Racism is so NOT what I am about nor what I live, that I will not even dignify any such accusations with a response.)

What Can We Expect?

What are some of the judgments we can expect on our nation from this election?
More economic woes
More violence in an already violent nation
Disease and death (satan, who is responsible for these things will have greater inroads to our nation.)
Natural disasters (weather-tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, drought; fires; earthquakes; etc.)
Terrorism (they will fear us much less now)
War, perhaps on our own soil
Judgments relating to the Court. The stacking of the Supreme Court against the sanctity of life and God's influence on America will occur, which will in turn cause the shedding of more innocent blood, more rejection of God's laws and the stealing from us of our godly heritage-all of which will perpetuate a cycle of even more judgment.

How Did This Happen?

I've been asked if this could have been averted had there been more prayer. I'm not sure. I believe there was a remnant of Christians fervently praying over these elections-I don't think there was anything more they could have done. Others, obviously, should have done more. The complacency and lack of discernment concerning our real condition in America-especially by the Church-is both appalling and horrifying. America is in serious trouble and it seems no one wants to say it. Fewer still are willing to do anything to change it.

Though I understand our reasons, we must be careful in our attempts to placate our feelings and calm our fears through religious phrases like "God is still on the throne" or "God has a plan". He was on His throne 35 years and 50 million babies ago. And He had a plan back then. The problem is, it was us. I understand our reasons for waving high the banner of God's sovereignty at times like these-it gives us hope. I will wave it, as well.
But please be careful with this. Too much emphasis on God's sovereignty and we're worthless; too little and we're hopeless. Maybe we should say, "we lost a critical battle but God will give us strategy to win the war." Then find the strategy.

But still yet, since God is usually willing to work through a remnant, I thought we had enough prayer. Obviously, God decided otherwise. There comes a time when He will not forgive or bless the majority based on the prayers or actions of only a few. America rejected God and asked for a king; I believe we now have our Saul (see 1 Samuel 8:5-7)-a man who does not have God's heart for America but his own. Like Israel in scripture, our nation believes it can turn from God and still be blessed. In His mercy and justice He will show us otherwise.

Like many, believing I had many promises and confirmations that God would "grace" us with a pro-life president in this election, I failed to consider strongly enough that all promises-even scripture-are conditional 99.9% of the time. Though I never prophesied or made guarantees that McCain-Palin would win, failing to factor this principle in strongly enough no doubt caused me to share my optimism with others inappropriately. If this caused any harm or confusion, I apologize.

Has the fact that my prayers weren't answered shaken my faith? No. I'm a little confused and discouraged. I'm also somewhat angry at the nation in general and much of the Church. Mostly I'm grieving over the nation and what this will cost us. I am not, however, angry with God and do not question His justice. And it is not true that we wasted our time, energy and money in our efforts anymore than it is a waste when we share the gospel with people who don't get saved. We must keep in the forefront of our thinking the fact that ultimately we are doing this for Him and that He will reward us for our faithfulness. And who knows, perhaps He will store up all those prayers for the next battle (Revelation 5:8, 8:3-5).

A friend and fellow warrior said it well,

"We did 'give it our all.' I know the Lord was pleased with that. A coach wants to know one thing at the end of a heartbreaking sports loss: 'Did you leave it all on the field?' (your passion, your commitment, your strength, your courage, etc.) I know that we 'left it all on the field.' We didn't hold anything back until the game ended. Tragically, it ended in defeat. We will rise for another day because Jesus is worthy."

Where Do We Go from Here?

Does this election outcome shake my faith that we can see a great awakening and ultimately reformation in America? Absolutely not (and it strengthens my resolve). We will simply get there through greater pain and loss. Even my passion to see the Supreme Court shift is not from a presupposition that there can be no spiritual awakening without it. It is simply due to my deep conviction that their decisions bring so much death, destruction, curses and judgment to America; and because our full destiny as a nation is unquestionably linked to their decisions. So, yes, we will get an awakening and reformation; but the reality is that this reformation of the nation will reform the Supreme Court (and government, in general), not vice- versa. My faith has never been in people or a political party; my faith is in the God who works through them.

I've been asked if my feelings about Sarah Palin have changed. They have not. I believe she is an Esther, a Deborah, with a huge mantle from God for reformation. God has a great destiny for her related to this nation if she chooses to continue down this path.

So, in conclusion, we must re-group as an apostolic, praying church and advance. We must maintain an immovable faith in God, His plans for America and His mercy. And we must move beyond simply asking God for a spiritual awakening and ask Him for strategy to produce reformation, as well. I, for one, am just getting started!

For God and this great nation,
