Obama Prayer Team - Blessings
Gail Dietrich
to Obama
Our Loving Father, humbly we come to you, thankful for so many blessings. We thank you for the mercy and grace you show us that cannot be equaled. Thank you for our country, our families, homes, friends, our military, and those in our government. Thank you for President Elect Obama and Vice President Elect Biden, their families, administration, and staff. Thank you for the guidance you have given them in selection of the new administration.
Father we know there will be new changes and challenges for them and their families to face. Strengthen them, guide them, and protect them.
In the same say, you husbands should live with your wives in an understanding way, since they are weaker than you. But show them respect, because God gives them the same blessing he gives you--the grace that gives true. Do this so that nothing will stop your prayers. 1 Peter 3:7
Amen
Gail
Amen, and I would like to extend this prayer dear Lord, to include his family near and far as well as any and all of his friends that truly are a friend, because at no other time will our President-Elect need true, loyal and spiritual friends, family and faithful believers around him...thank you Lord and so it is....

Thanksgiving Day Reflection
JaneRedCliff
to Obama
Father,
We thank you for this special time of reflection of what You have done this past year, and for what You have in store for us this coming year! You have blessed us with many answers to prayer. You have kept Barack Obama and his family safe and secure while promoting him to the highest leadership position in the USA. We thank You for all your blessings, for each and every person who supported his candidacy, for the many faithful believers who prayed for Barack, for the many who donated their time and money to make it possible. We believe that You have a plan for our nation, a plan to prosper and bless the USA under Barack's leadership. We thank You for provision of food, gas and electricity to heat and cool our homes, for transportation, for running water, for friends and family. Most of all, we are thankful that You are our God, our blessed Heavenly Father who loves us unconditionally. Thank You for comforting us in our times of sorrow, for healing us when we are sick, for carrying us when we feel we just cannot go another step, and for bringing people into our lives who we can love and who will love us back. We are so grateful for the Obama Prayer Team. Thank You, Father, for providing us the rock of our salvation, Jesus Christ. Thank You for filling us with your Holy Spirit, and empowering us for service here on earth.
In Jesus' name we praise Your Holy Name!

Why Should God Bless You?
Why Should God Bless You?
A sermon on Psalm 67 by Coty Pinckney, Community Bible Church, Williamstown, MA 7/28/02
How many of you would like God to bless your life? Should you ask God to bless your life? Or is that selfish?
Bruce Wilkinson’s bestselling book, The Prayer of Jabez, elaborates on an obscure figure mentioned in 1 Chronicles, arguing that we should seek God’s blessing always. In 1 Chronicles 4:10 we read,
Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!" And God granted what he asked.
Why did God grant what Jabez asked? What is the reason for God's blessing?
There are many ways we can answer that question with Scriptural support: He loves his people. He delights to do them good. He is good.
But there’s one fundamental reason that God blesses His people, and this reason is closely related to the missionary calling of the church. Today’s text, Psalm 67, gives us that reason.
During this morning’s message, we’ll consider three questions about the Psalm. Here is the first:
Why Should God Bless You?
This Psalm begins in a way that sounds similar to prayer of Jabez (actually, it more closely echoes the blessing that Aaron and his descendants said over the people of Israel, as recorded in Numbers 6) - but Psalm 67 goes deeper than the prayer of Jabez, telling us why God blesses his people. Let’s look at the first two verses of the Psalm:
God be gracious to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us -- Selah. 2 That Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations.
The Psalmist asks for blessing so that God’s ways may be known on the earth. The Psalmist is saying, in effect, "Bless me, so that I might glorify you; bless me so that I might show your power, your love, your majesty, your goodness to all nations.”
Note that the Psalmist is not saying:
· He is not saying, “Bless me so that I can be comfortable.”
· He is not saying, “Bless me so that I don’t have to work hard to make a living.”
· He is not saying, “Bless me so that others will be envious of me.”
· He is not saying, “Bless me so that I can be successful in the eyes of the world.”
· Now listen carefully: He is not even primarily saying, “Bless me so that I can bless others.”

I thank you God; I praise you for who you are and all you have done in my life. I thank you for the encouragement that the election of Barack Obama has brought in to my life….. I ask you God to help me to continue to work, to push, to organize, to be an example of the change we need in this country.
I pray to you oh God for a special blessing on all the people who have come together to build a new team of leaders and builders, thinkers and planners who will guide this country in the new administration. Give them wisdom and understanding and a true spirit of HOPE to bring real CHANGE.
Dear God, help us to see that we must love and help each other, that our living must be an example of your love for all of us manifested in our actions. Help us to live our faith everyday of the week in all we do.
Please God send a special shield of protection over the Obama and Biden families, keep them safe from harm, and increase their wisdom and compassion. Guide them as you would have them be for your glory!

We need to continue to pray for the spirit of racism to
be broken in this country. There are still some deep-
seated fears and dislikes about culturally and
ethnically diverse groups. This has yet to be settled in
this country, and it will take effectual, fervent prayer.
As we continue to pray for the prayer objectives of
the OPT, pray for repentence in the land, and continue
to pray for one another. Stay focused!
Love and Prayers,Beverly
Kris & Jean Hamilton to Obama
Our Presbyterian pastor said, "let's all give grace to
one another,remembering that we have differing political opinions
but one Lord."However, inside I know he was turning cartwheels
and dancing for joy.I'm struck by the number of people who voted the
other way and arestill grateful to God that they lived to see this day.Keep up the good work of prayer, lest the burdens
seem overwhelming.

Jen LaMaire to Obama
Hi friends! Our church members also have reluctantly thrown
support behind Obama. We all need to continue in our
churches, even when it's hard and the things our
friends say can be absurd, let's march on with love
and truth in our hearts patiently, and prayerfully
waiting for Jesus to work our Republican church friends over.
I believe with Jesus working through all of us, we can
bring change to our churches that will attract
multitudes of sinners and spiritually bankrupt people
to the feet of Jesus .
For too long have people stayed out of church because of the hatred
and hypocrisy that has persisted. I want us to sing in church "Open
the eyes of my heart LORD", and really have it mean
something for all of us. No longer do I want it to be us
against them, I want the love eminating from the
church body to be so on fire that it burns up any sin
that comes near it. Jesus, make it possible for us, all of us to carry out
your commandment to Love one another. No more
violence, no more wars, no more division. Only your
glory and grace, we want all of it!!
Unify us Lord. Lord, use us, and abuse us. All of us in this group
joyously leap into the offering plate and commit
everything we have to furthering your Kingdom on
this earth. Give us the ears and wisdom and courage
to move when asked. Thank you for loving us in ways
we can hardly comprehend. "For I am confident in this very thing.
That he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day
of Christ Jesus" Phillipians 1:6

SUFFERING
When Jesus healed the woman in Matthew 9, He told her that her faith had made her well. He was also saying to her, "You're very special to me,daughter. I know you don't have anything to offer me; I know you've been rejected by society, but your Father had not fogotten you." Our Savior says the same to us when we need His healing hand.
Jesus and His disciples saw a blind man while walking down the road. The disciples said, "Jesus, who sinned?" Jesus said, "No one sinned." Then Jesus healed the man. And He eternally answered that our pain is not a result of our sin. God is not so small that He would zap us for making a mistake. This passage teaches just the opposite: Our Savior is not asleep; Jesus is alive and interested in our pain.
We have a Father who is filled with compassion, a feeling Father who hurts when His children hurt. We serve a God who says that even when we're under pressure and feel like nothing is going to go right, He's waiting for us, to embrace us whether we succeed or fail.
He doesn't come quarreling and wrangling and forcing His way into anyone's heart. He comes into our hearts like a gentle lamb, not a roaring lion.
FATHER, forgive us for the times that we have questioned you; forgive us for the times we have doubted you; forgive us for the times we've shaken our heads and pounded our fists against the earth and cried, "Where are you?" For Father, we know that you have been here ...you've carried us through the valley and you've given us strength. AMEN!

Prayer for Barack
Dearest Father,
We thank you for traveling mercies for Barack, his family and his crew. Open the windows of heaven and pour out your blessings. Holy Spirit, comfort each and every one. Fill his plane and every place he enters with Comfort, Peace, Wisdom, Love, Compassion, Kindness and Truth. Keep Barack safe in the palm of Your mighty hand. Encourage him and renew his strength.
Father, in the midst of all the lies of the enemy, we ask for You to give Barack favor with the people of the United States. May he truly have a righteous wind at his back, and a fire going before him, driving out his enemies. Give him one more gem, one more revelation from heaven, as to how he can overcome and win a mighty victory, that we can all join in and celebrate with You and all the Heavenly Hosts! Fill him with words straight from the throne, words of wisdom and victory. May those words be anointed by You, Lord Jesus. May the anointing go forth and break through every lie and deception, piercing the hearts of the voters with trust in this righteous man to lead us. We ask for another chant, a chant of victory that will take us over the finish line. Just like in Chariots of Fire! We give You all the praise, honor and glory, in Jesus' name. Amen!

Thank You God for giving Barack and Joe excellent spirits and for having favor upon their lives in every situation and circumstance. (Daniel 6:3)
Thank You for General Colin Powell's endorsement and words admonishing the republican party and McCain/Palin ticket for demagoguery.

encouraging us in the face of demagouery and deception; "Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at. For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap....And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right,
for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint." Let us march on to the finish line with vigor and bold courageousness in Jesus Christ, Amen!

Prayer for Debate & Fast
I have combined prayers from Aziza, Tsitsi, Clarenda and others to come up with this prayer for the debates. I will be using it for many prayers beyond the debate and modifying it to fit the situation as I find the words to be very inspiring. I wanted to share this with you in case you like it and want to use it to. Here it is:
The LORD, the Mighty One in Battle. Jehovah, covenant keeping God. Hallowed be Thy holy name. Lord of Host. Captain of the Armies of Heaven. Our Creator. Our loving Father - we give You all the praise. We give You all the glory. We give You all the honor. We give You the Power.
The One who parts the mighty ocean with Your breath. The One who can kill and make alive. The Rock of Ages, Master Shepherd. O, King of Glory. All the nations adore You. All living things bear witness to Your rule. We behold the splendor of Your throne. We bow before You LORD. We submit entirely to Your will. We return the Glory to You.
Lord, we stand in the gap for the Nation and for Your servant Barack Obama. At a time like this when the peace and security and prosperity of our great country is threatened, our children's future is unsure, LORD we turn to You and take the authority that Jesus gave to us, we claim the land for You and pray that only Your will be done in this election.
Lord we turn to You and take the authority that Jesus gave to us, we clam favor upon Barack Obama in this upcoming debate. We claim his solid preparation, clear mind, wisdom, understanding of the issues, clarity of
speech, strong articulation, insightful discernment and his being solidly on message concerning the needs of the people and the nation to the awe and amazement of all who hear him.
Lord we take the authority that Jesus gave to us and we claim enlightenment for the American people that their eyes and ears are open to see and hear the truth about Barack Obama and that all prejudices, smears, doubts and fears are removed.
We take authority over the United States of America and we speak to the nation: "Be loose from the chains of darkness, from the spirits of blindness; be free from lies and deceit!"
Lord, we reclaim the White House for You. We claim the Oval office for Barack Obama. We declare that all forces in opposition to Your will in this presidential election be defeated and Your will be done in the White House.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen!

Prayer for tonight
Clarenda Jordan
My Lord,
What a journey this has become! We thank you for your presence and direction as we travel this long hard road to victory in November. Lord we thank you for the sense of peace you have given us in the midst of this storm. We thank you for the wisdom you have given our future president Barack Obama. In the midst of this turmoil Barack has responded with calm, wisdom and peace which we know comes from you. We asked for transparency and truth and Lord once again you have answered our prayers. We see the responses of both men to our financial mess and each day the eyes of America are being opened to the temperament and leadership style of each man. Lord this crisis is showing the true character of each man in a way no commercial or debate could ever do. Father all I can say is thank you! Thank you for allowing us to share in the bringing forth of your will here on earth. Tonight we continue to hold up the campaign before you and ask for your
protection and blessings. We ask that our territory continue to increase and more and more people will be set free from the lies and deception of the McCain campaign. We pray for power and strength and a clear mind for Barack as he meets with President Bush to discuss the financial mess. Lord let him side step any traps or snares they lay before him to trip him up. Let the vicious smears and evil ads being launched against him fail. Let not this latest ploy interrupt Barack's preparation for the debate but let him speak clearly with power and wisdom on Friday night. Open the ears of America and our hearts to accept the leader you have chosen for us. Keep us on our knees before you, protect us from the evil one.
All the glory, honor and praise is Yours on earth and in heaven
Amen

Count Your Blessings
This is one of the nicest e-mails I have seen and is so true:
I dreamed that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many
angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and
scraps from people all over t he world..
Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section
The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to t he living persons who asked for them. "I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment
Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed "How is it that there is no work going on here?" I asked
.
"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings
that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments."
"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.
"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you, Lord."
"What blessings should they acknowledge? " I asked.
"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof
overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If
you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy."
"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in
the world who has that opportunity. "
< BR>"If you woke up this morning with more health than
illness... You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day."
"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation … You
are ahead of 700 million people in the world."
"If you can attend a mosque /church without the fear of harassment,
arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than,
three billion people in the world."
"If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are very
rare."
"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're
unique to all those in doubt and d
espair."
OK, what now? How can I start?
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in
that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more
blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at
all.
Have a good day, count your blessings

I dreamed that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many
angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and
scraps from people all over t he world..
Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section
The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to t he living persons who asked for them. "I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment
Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed "How is it that there is no work going on here?" I asked
.
"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings
that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments."
"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked.
"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you, Lord."
"What blessings should they acknowledge? " I asked.

Obama Prayer Team
This email was sent from Amanda Warren
In addition to our prayers and fasting, we rely on the word of God to cover Barack Obama, all of us, and those who are in danger of being deceived and polluted by the lies that are spewed forth by Rush Limbaugh et al.:
"They may curse, but you [God] will bless;
when they attack they will be put to shame,
but your servant will rejoice." Ps. 109:28
Psalm 52 seems to have been written as a prophecy concerning today's talk-radio hate mongers:
"Why do you boast of evil, you mighty man?
Why do you boast all day long,
you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
Your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor,
you who practice deceit.
You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth.
You love every harmful word,
O you deceitful tongue!
Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:
He will snatch you up and tear you from your tent;
he will uproot you from the land of the living.
The righteous will see and fear;
they will laugh at him, saying,
'Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold
but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!'
But I [here I insert in prayer Bar ack Obama] am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever.
I will praise you forever for what you have done;
in your name I will hope, for your name is good.
I will praise you in the presence of your saints."
We must pray and fast vigilantly and faithfully as God has called us to do. But we need not fret or rail against these people; it only leads to our taking our eyes off of God. That is not to say that we should not sign petitions or speak up as our conscience leads. And in doing or not doing so, we humbly know that God has it all in His hands and He will deal with the mockers and the liars in His way and His time.
Thank you, Lord, that only by Your grace and not any insight or intelligence or any good quality of ours, You have shone your light on us and rescued us from this world and all of its evil vying, loathing, sneering and mocking. We pray for every person who hears the vicious words and attacks that are burdening us. We know that untruths have no real power, but Lord, we also acknowledge that all people, even we who have received your truth, can be easily led astray because of our weakness. Lord, we pray that those who are spewing venom, and those who are hearing it, will see that it is darkness and death, and turn away from it. Protect all of your people and lead us into your truth and your light. Amen.

GOD BLESS US
A Lifetime Guarantee
Will you take me back, dear Lord,
I've been gone from You so long;
I have lost track of all my sins,
And I've spent years in doing wrong.
I did so many prideful things,
And shamelessly did boast;
I broke so many loving hearts
And hurt the people I loved most.
I've heard about atonement,
I've been warned of Judgment Day;
And even though I listened,
I still strayed far away.
Will you welcome me again, dear Lord,
And forgive me one more time?
Will You share Your Father's love with me,
If I truly give You mine?
I'm so sorry that I left You, God,
I'm saddened now ... and low;
God smiled, "You didn't leave me, child,
I never let you go!"
"I promised you Salvation,
My Word cannot be undone;
You got a Lifetime Guarantee,
When I gave up my Precious Son."

Forgiven
There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. And he was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target. And getting a little discouraged; he headed back to dinner.
As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head, and killed it. He was shocked and grieved.In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see his sister watching.
Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing. After lunch that day Grandma said, "Sally, let's wash the dishes."But Sally said, "Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen." Then she whispered to him, "remember the duck?" So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, "I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper." But Sally just smiled and said "Well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help." She whispered again, "remember the duck?" So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.
After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's he finally couldn't stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug, and said, "Sweetheart, I know. You see I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing. But because I love you, I forgave you, I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you."
Thought for the day: whatever is in your past, whatever you have done and the enemy keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, debt, fear, hatred, anger, unforgiveness, bitterness, etc.)whatever it is, you need to know that Jesus Christ was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing. He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven. He's just wondering how long you will let the enemy make a slave of you.
The great thing about God is that He not only forgives you, but He forgets.
Go ahead and make the difference in someone's life today. Share this with a family member or friend. Remember, that Jesus is at the window.
