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.
