Prayer for Elections, 2018

Father God, we pray that in this election, Your children will get out and vote. We pray for spiritual wisdom now for people to see and to know who they should vote for.

We pray that evil will not win in any county, in any state, and in any of the higher offices of the land. I pray that evil is not allowed to even win in the lower offices.  Father, we pray that the truth will come out, and that any candidate in any of these races across the country, that have any ill will gains for their purpose to get into office for any position will not succeed. We pray that only the true, the humble, and the good hearted people will succeed in this election.

Lord, we know that the ones we want to win are not all believers in You, but we pray that one day they will run into Your Son Jesus and have their lives transformed for ever as He did for us. We pray that all of Your children across the globe will in the next few days get on their knees, surrender to You, weep for our country, and repent.

Lord this land is Your land and we ask You to heal our nation. Bring us out of “Egypt”, bring us out of “wilderness” where we have been wandering in circles, and bring us to the “Promise Land”. We pray for the Holy Spirit to go across this nation like the wind and start a revival and a real Great Awakening.  For men and women of God stand up and say “No More!” We will not allow evil to prevail, we will not sit back and let our brothers and sisters be persecuted, we will not let our babies be killed in the womb, and we will not turn our cities and country into Sodom and Gomorrah.


Father, thank You for giving us a voice. Thank You for giving us the right to vote. Thank You for all of those who have died for our freedoms and voting privileges. We all come together as God’s children, the chosen saints, to declare this election and this day. “Chose today for yourselves, whom you will serve, For me and my household, we will serve the Lord” We collectively pray this in Your Son’s Precious and Holy Name, The Name above all names, the King of kings, The Lord of lords, the President of presidents, the Senator of senators, the Congressman of congressmen, the Representative of representatives, The Judge of judges, the Supreme Court Justice of justices, the Governor of governors, the Mayor of mayors, the Councilman of councilmen, the Attorney General of attorney generals, our Teacher, the Lover of our souls, The Christ – Jesus The Christ, Amen! Hallelujah

Soli Deo Gloria – Glory to God Alone!

Anti Trumpers…

Trump really is the Picasso of tweeters. The following article by Wayne Allen Root …

Donald Trump’s tweets are not a mistake. This isn’t insanity. He’s not nuts. He’s not stupid.  Actually, he’s a genius. Trump is the Picasso of tweets. Monet meets Beethoven. The Saul Alinsky of conservatives and capitalists.  Trump is first politician from the right to figure out how to stop the radical left [or at least hinder their progressiveness].  [He does it] By driving them crazy. Trump has destroyed the left with tweets. Just look at them in disarray. From Kathy Griffin, to Jeff Tucker of CNN, to Bernie Sanders, to Megyn Kelly — liberals lay in smoldering ruins.

Branch Rickey once said, “Luck is the residue of design.” Maybe it’s time for liberals to admit that Trump’s crazy tweets aren’t so crazy after all.  They are purposeful. He’s driving liberals nuts with rage, while distracting them so they don’t even see what’s happening. Sure Trump’s tweets turn off lots of Democrats. Who cares? [I don’t.] Sure he turns off the media. Who cares? Sure he turns off plenty of young people who never vote. Who cares? Sure he turns off the people walking along Venice Beach or Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. Who cares? None of these people was ever voting for him in the first place. Many of them don’t vote at all.

[Leftist, reprobate] Liberals claim Trump is mentally ill. But he’s just much smarter than they are. He’s playing at a different level. Trump is doing “The Art of the Deal.” For Trump, it’s about winning. How he wins is immaterial. He doesn’t mind shocking, outraging, offending or even embarrassing himself. He is using guerrilla warfare to beat the left. Trump is deflecting and distracting his critics and enemies while he passes his entire agenda. While Trump is busy tweeting, offending, enraging and infuriating, he is quietly — behind scenes — fundamentally changing America. Or haven’t you noticed?

[I thank God that] Trump is erasing Obama like he never existed. Trump is demolishing the socialist dreams of Obama and Sanders and Hillary and Valerie Jarrett … and their radical Marxist mentor Saul Alinsky[, thank you, Lord].  Trump is destroying the Democrat Party — pushing it so far to the left it will have no chance in 2020.  Trump is destroying the media. Trump will keep his job far longer than CNN President Jeff Zucker. Wanna bet? Trump has destroyed Kathy Griffin’s career. The only head she cut off was her own. Trump has destroyed Megyn Kelly’s career.  [Well, actually Megyn really did that to herself via her loathsome bias, but Trump didn’t just roll over and play dead – he stood firm and called her out and his supporters cheered and rallied behind him.]  Advertisements for personal injury lawyers have higher ratings than Kelly’s new show. Bernie Sanders’s wife is under investigation for fraud. The careers of former FBI director James Comey and acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe are in tatters. McCabe is under three separate criminal investigations. A little birdie in government tells me Hillary Clinton and the entire Clinton Foundation will soon be under Federal indictment. There’s no more funding of liberal causes by Department of Justice lawsuits. The National Labor Relations Board is becoming pro-business. There’s no more political persecutions of conservatives by the IRS, DOJ or FBI.

Border crossings are down by 50 percent to 70 percent (depending on which stat you believe). Trump’s going after welfare for illegals [who NEVER should have been allowed to receive it]. Trump’s going after voter fraud by illegals. The travel ban is in effect. The number of Muslim refugees let into America is being cut dramatically. Soon, one way or another, there will be no more Obamacare. Soon, there will be no more high Obama taxes. (note: already happening) Soon, construction of a wall will begin. (note: already begun) Soon, Trump will get to name a second, and then a third, and maybe even a fourth U.S. Supreme Court justice. Trump’s Supreme Court will turn America red for the next 40 years.  Liberals are toast [for now, even though they are screaming like stuck pigs.  They are an evil that must be continually guarded against]. Obama is erased. Hillary will be tied up in court for years to come. Israel is our best friend again. The police and military are beloved and respected again. All is well in my world. How about yours? Trump has outwitted the left. Trump is an artist!

Coexist?

What happens on Judgement Day when everyone wishes they listened to those professing the name of Jesus as Savior? Why would we let all of them be lost? Why wouldn’t we serve Him? What happens when He asks us why we tolerated all the false gods and all the lies? People will be screaming at Christians for not insisting on Jesus! And sadly, there will be those who never believed in Him even at that moment! Many will harbor their grudges even at the end!

In 2016 millions of Christians were praying for God to give us one more chance and to bless America again and make candidate Trump President.  God has blessed us and given, probably our last chance, at becoming a truly Godly country standing with Israel and showing how awesome God is as well as who He is – the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  Jesus the Christ is the Savior of souls; is no other Savior.

Christian Ethics and Morality

No civilisation, not even that of ancient Greece, has ever undergone such a continuous and profound process of change as Western Europe has done during the last 900 years. It is impossible to explain this fact in purely economic terms by a materialistic interpretation of history. The principle of change has been a spiritual one and the progress of Western civilisation is intimately related to the dynamic ethos of Western Christianity, which has gradually made Western man conscious of his moral responsibility and his duty to change the world. - Christopher Dawson

We need a Great Awakening – MAGA

Avoid Drifting

“We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated” (D.A. Carson, “For the Love of God”).
“As a matter of fact, if you examined a hundred people who had lost their faith in Christianity, I wonder how many of them would turn out to have been reasoned out of it by honest argument? Do not most people simply drift away?” (C.S. Lewis, “Mere Christianity”).

Hebrews 2:1 warns us of the danger of drifting away from God: “Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away” (NKJV). To “give earnest heed” is to “pay close attention” to the things we have learned in Scripture or we will drift away from it and from God. May I admonish you to “not grow weary in doing good,” as Galatians says, “for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” And what shall we reap? A recompence of reward for all who sincerely serve in doing well for God. This reward will certainly be given to us at the proper time — if not in this world, then undoubtedly in the next. – pastorwardclinton

5 Wise and 5 Foolish

For Bible background read Matthew 25:1-13

Satanic weapon

They all had some knowledge of and regard for the bridegroom.

They all had lamps that were burning/lit.

While the bridegroom tarried they all slept.  Not until his coming was announced did the difference between them really reveal itself.  In all outward things the wise and foolish virgins were alike; the difference between them was internal.

The foolish ones had a real regard for the bridegroom, they had gone far to meet him, and were disappointed at their exclusion.  It is not that there were 5 believers and 5 unbelievers in this story that Jesus told; there were 10 believers waiting for His arrival in this illustration.

There was genuineness about them as far as they went; only they did not go far enough.  They were not deliberate hypocrites (i.e. acting as though they had more religion than they actually did).  No, my friend, they had some feeling of attachment to Christ.  They had certain impulses Christ-ward which they did not resist, but they were not completely consecrated; they had a bit of the presence of the Holy Spirit but not at a full measure.

Character is confirmed by crisis.  A man has only as much religion as he desires and can muster in the moment of trial.  The minor surprises of life that come our way are to prepare us for the last emergency.  Character is a personal thing and cannot be passed from one person to another, but must be acquired and manifested by each one for himself.  I cannot give you my courage to fortify you for your duty.  How perilous to leave preparation for the testing times till they have come upon us.  Every time we perform duty the soul is made stronger.  It is thereby the store of oil is obtained.  1 Peter 1:5,7

Right now is the time to be fully prepared.  Certain lost opportunities cannot be recalled.
