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.
