Pray For Obama

This is much more important and meaningful than all the people saying 'Obama's not MY president'.  Good on ya.

thanks S.C.  I acknowledge that God's allowing this to happen for his purposes. 

I would love dearly to see all these prayers answered!  But in my heart of hearts, I sense something very sinister is about to happen.  I didn't feel like this when Clinton got in even though I was very against him as wel.   Mostly with him though I just sensed hypocrisy. 

Amen to all of these prayers ....

You are really something KFC !!!

Why did you spoil your good work by this?

please ... stop the superstition ...

You still think he is a muslim ... i can assure you that no muslim of any kind or degree of religious belonging will ever say what Obama said many many times ... if any muslim said any of those things he will automatically become a non-muslim... why cant you believe that?

he declared clearly that he believes in Jesus, the son-of-god, ... and that Jesus is his savior which is the standard christian belief ... but that automatically makes anyone a non-muslim.

relax KFC he is a christian through and through .... no reason for the doom and gloom you feeling and trying to spread ...

please stop ... for our country's sake.

Like the many before him, he's going to need it, even more!  That said I understand the feeling of agnst and the disillusions, but if our country doesn't have all of its' citizens behind it, then we might as well roll over.  When Bush won his second term in office, not everyone was happy, I definitely wasn't happy too, but I gave him the chance and so did many others.  The doom and gloom was not like this, it is really disheartening.

Bravo for saying so.....KFC.

FOREVERSERENITY POSTS:

Absolutely....all of our leaders in positions of authority present and those to come in Obama's administration and the nation need prayers. I agree that of Obama even more becasue his smooth talking campaign promises included furthering the culture of death within the first 100 days of taking office.

I wanted more than ever and hoped for a McCain/Palin victory, but prayed the Lord's Prayer that God's will be done.

That describes me from the first moment I knew Obama had won...I bawled for a while and then accepted it exactly as KFC describes....somehow, (although I don't understand) this is according to God's purposes.

Yeah, that is almost as lame as when the retarded libs where doing it against Bush.

While I agree with the post, I will begin doing everything in my power to deprive the Obama government of my money.

Mitt Romney is a good example of a change of heart concerning his views on abortion, stem cell research, etc.  We know it happens.

Of all the issues, abortion is like no other becasue it's the dividing line due to the fact that the inalienable right to life itself  is at stake. Obama's voting history and campaign promises to prioritize abortion quite truthfully terrorizes me.  He's promised to keep the abortuaries open wide and make infanticide "legal" by passing the Freedom of Choice Act, (FOCA) which would deprive people the freedom they presently have to enact restraints and regulations on the abortion industry. It would invalidate virtually all state and federal limitations on abortion, including partial birth or late term abortion.

And I too share your concern.

tHINKALOUD POSTS:

Please THinkaloud, be serious. Anyone who's been closely connected as Obama has with very radical people like Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers, his Communist mentor Davis, and his pastor of 20 years, Rev. Wright, to name a few, ought to be looked at with grave concern and healthy scepticism.  

The problem that must be admitted is the mainstream news and print media, ABC, NBC, CBS,and CNN, Newsweek, etc. were all so biased for Obama that they repressed real vital information and refused to properly vet Obama....whereas every other past president went through scrutiny. Obama got a free pass.  

And this isn't sour grapes or bitterness coming from me...I accept him as our president elect.....thankfully, we still have free elections and our electoral process worked. He got the most votes and won the electoral college.

It's just that like KFC, I'm not going to stick my head in the sand and assume all is hunky-dory now that he's been elected. There is much we still don't know and that which we do know (at least in my discerning mind) leaves a kind of doom and gloom question mark.

TA

It's not superstition.  I wish it were that simple.  No, it's based on facts or non-facts that we can't seem to get on Obama that makes me nervous about our future. 

My husband came home from work and said they had been alerted at the office.  There's a major tax program overhaul coming due in May of 09 that will be retroactive for January 09.  Already that's going to cause a whole boatload of problems for the tax situations.  How do people plan when they can't see the new tax laws until May 09 and then be told it goes back to Jan 09?  Half the year will be over and many will be scrambling. 

 , always the devilish LW

As for the spelling ... i spell it Qura'an (no a after the u) ... many people spell it Qura'n. The reason i do it that way is to be closer to the arabic pronuncitaion. the a' is like the a in Al Gore (just to remind you of him    ). the second a is to make it sound like AAAAAl Gore.

Yes He does. just one condition though ... it must be under severe duress , i dont think some one was holding a gun to his head when he said those statements. and what would he achieve by hiding that he is a Muslim anyway?

i really cant figure that out. many USA leaders and presidents did much more good regarding Muslims and Arabs more than any of their own Muslim leaders. Carter, Clinton, JFK and even Eisenhower come to mind. they hate Truman and W of course ...

You must be kidding ... and i am dead serious here.  all of them ... and I mean ALL  were pro-McCain .... even in their presenting of things that were in Obama's favor. CNN to the end refused to put many states in their estimates of his electoral count even though he was soo far ahead .. they blasted all those terrible ads million times a day helping McCain spread his foolish attacks.. and all in the name of news... and you think CBS interview with Palin was bad for her? they called it the most sympathetic interviewer .. still Palin failed... and the ABC interview that was a joke .. still she failed ... and Larry King ... OMG ... he brought McCain and his wife so many times and not once Obama... and did you wtach Blitzer on CNN ... he was soooo obvious to the point that one of his partners on the show wrote about it on his blog .. on CNN site ... you kidding me??? all of them wanted McCain .... you think we are not watching what is going on ???? i know the Game .... the Rep always do that to cover the real bias toward them...

 Except MSNBC (which you didnt even mention)... they were clearly pro-Obama... the only one ...

Even The NY Times which everyone accuse of being biased toward him ... They supported Hillary not him ... they just couldnt support McCain or Bush after the hot water that both of them put the newspaper in regarding the Iraqi-war lies.

and that is the gloom and doom you say will bring disasters of biblical scale to the Nation?

we all hate taxes .. you are not alone in that ... and the congress are not going to let him go wild on that ... get real KFC, no one like taxes .... most of all Dem's ... i really mean that ... we are the least to afford any increase in taxes.... others may hate taxes but they may be able to afford it ... we hate it and most of us can't afford it

oh no TA.  That's just a side note.  Our economy's woes is just the beginning.

THINKALOUD POSTS:

Then tell us ThinkALoud, how much did you learn from the media of the unpleasant truths about ACORN voter fraud, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's connections with Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers and Louis Farrachan? Be honest, did they report that after the AIG, (AMerican Issues Project) ran a TV ad calling for an examination of the Obama-Ayers connection, Obama's political thugs demanded that the Justice Department begin an investigation into AIG? 

And how much did the MSM tell you about Beverly West's question to Biden about Obama's Marxism, THinkAloud?

And why did Obama throw the more conservative media off his plane the last 3 weeks of the campaign?

Tell us what did you learn from the MSM about Obama's voting record on abortion, including infanticide?

On the other hand, now think about how many times you heard that it's the Republicans, especially President Bush, who are responsible for everything that has to do with the economic crisis that hit Wall Street. When in truth and fair reporting, the main culprits were Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer and Chris Dodd. Did the MSM report that Obama was given the largest amount of money from the crooks who "did in" Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? If they did no one in my family heard it. 

Although Liberals will deny it, the Left controls the most of the mainstream media...which continually spins, conceals, or represses Democrat wrong-doing. They plan to keep control too....getting Obama elected was key for the Democrats to pass into law something they call the "Fairness Doctrine". This will ensure that talk radio gets silenced.

Oh, yeah, the warning signs are all around us and the concern over this is very real.

There is no doubt whatsoever that our economy woes are just beginning. It's going to get worse, much worse. There is going to be economical suffering. However, often suffering is a form of purification which our nation needs as a whole.  

I'm too busy praying for America!

I bet Thomas Jefferson really irked the Muslim Barbary Pirates! He grew tired of the US having to pay tribute to them.  

I dont learn from the media Lula. and all of the allegations and rumers you listed are just that ... rumers... from people who couldnt find a logical criticism of his policies .. all they had is this nonsense .... how come all that did not come out before he started running for President?

are you living in our world Lula??? all those media outlet are now owned and operated by huge busn. conglomorates. I am sure you are old enough to remember the Real news and analysis networks that used to exist ... they still have the same alphabet names ... but they are a sad clone of the old ones ....

I cant recognize CBS, NBC or ABC now .... Katie Curic??? ... sitting on the same chair as Morrow and Cronkite????? and the rest of them???? they are a mouthpiece for their corp masters now ... and a weak voice even at that ...

their bias supporting McCain was sooo obvious ... i listed the recoded facts ... dnt answer it with rumers and inspirations inside your head God knows where it is coming from

you are sooo unreal in your bias Lula ... there were only Muslim Pirates???? no christian ones? no jewish ones? no atheist ones?

and you know that for sure to the point of stating it as a fact? ..

falsehood has no roots Lula ... and you are shaking in the Dawn breeze after the darkness of W and the neo-con started to lift.

Thinkaloud,

You said that Muslim leaders hate Truman and W....

to that I whimsically added:

Lula posts:

I'm quite positive that at the time of Jefferson, there were only Muslim pirates who forced the US to pay tribute to them. I may be wrong and if you or someone know otherwise, I will gladly concede the point.   

Thank you ThinkALoud,,,,,this pretty much explains everything....and makes my point....no one learned much of anything about Obama from the mainstream media becasue they of their liberal bias and becasue they purposefully repressed info that would make him look bad. Case closed.

Yes, check the history books.

Jefferson sent the Marines to stop the Muslim Barbary (Ottoman) Pirates of ALgiers and Tripoli. They would capture the crew as prisoners and demand ransom. If you persist I'll give the details, although it's getting a bit off KFC's topic.  

not to worry my friend, our King is on the throne and is fully aware. 

I aplaud the sentiments of your blog.  It has been a difficult election in the Body of Christ and I find my heart has been broken over and again to see the believers pitted against one another, allowing themselves a kind of liberty that diminishes love with in us and haults our ability to show Christ to the world.

linking hearts, arms, legs and anything else we can link so the world will see a unity that surpasses understanding and know that He is

King.

My heart aches for this.

Joa

Um...okay...here I go.  Don't get cranky, I'm just thinking out loud.

Obama went to a Muslim school when he was about 5.  Okay, so?  Big deal. 

2)  Who care if he IS Muslim?  It's a beautiful religion.  Check out my article on it that I wrote months ago.  https://forums.joeuser.com/314958

3)  Whether you voted for him or not, I agree with KFC.  Now's the time to start praying for him.  It is my fear and my prediction that he will be violently assassinated within a year of his inauguration.

Thanks for the good words, KFC.  Good article.

yes, we are supposed to be soldiers in the Army of God.  Soldiers are to be shoulder to shoulder looking ahead and marching together in one accord.  Too often tho, I find the soldiers are doing anything but these days.  We're turning around and bickering with the guy next to us and next thing you know there's a fracas on the field.  Not a pretty sight. 

Yes, we all can take comfort in this. 

mine too.....

Thanks CB.  Prayer does make a difference.  

Amen.

The Catholic bishops held their annual fall conference and in their statement offered prayer for Obama, his family and the nation.  Their statement follows starting and ending with Psalm 127:1 which references the "watchman" which Obama will be as President.

US Bishops Issue Stark Warning to Obama over Abortion

By John-Henry Westen
 
BALTIMORE, November 12, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a stark warning to President-Elect Barack Obama, Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), today warned the Obama Administration, on behalf of all the US bishops, that "aggressive pro-abortion policies, legislation and executive orders will permanently alienate tens of millions of Americans, and would be seen by many as an attack on the free exercise of their religion." 

The statement, which was "written at the request and direction of all the Bishops," was released today at the end of the annual fall assembly of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.
 
While the message begins on a conciliatory note, the vast majority is directed at the issue of the rights of the unborn. "The bishops of the Catholic Church in the United States welcome this moment of historic transition and look forward to working with President-elect Obama and the members of the new Congress for the common good of all," begins the statement.  From there, however, it notes that the 1973 Roe v Wade decision was "bad law" and that the Freedom of Choice Act which Obama has promised to sign is even "more radical."
 
Cardinal George writes that "the unity desired by President-elect Obama and all Americans at this moment of crisis will be impossible to achieve," if the administration's policies increase abortions.
 
The full statement follows:
 
STATEMENT of the President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
 
"If the Lord does not build the house, in vain do its builders labor; if the Lord does not watch over the city, in vain does the watchman keep vigil." (Psalm 127, vs. 1)
 
The Bishops of the Catholic Church in the United States welcome this moment of historic transition and look forward to working with President-elect Obama and the members of the new Congress for the common good of all. Because of the Church's history and the scope of her ministries in this country, we want to continue our work for economic justice and opportunity for all; our efforts to reform laws around immigration and the situation of the undocumented; our provision of better education and adequate health care for all, especially for women and children; our desire to safeguard religious freedom and foster peace at home and abroad. The Church is intent on doing good and will continue to cooperate gladly with the government and all others working for these goods.
 
The fundamental good is life itself, a gift from God and our parents. A good state protects the lives of all. Legal protection for those members of the human family waiting to be born in this country was removed when the Supreme Court decided Roe vs. Wade in 1973. This was bad law. The danger the Bishops see at this moment is that a bad court decision will be enshrined in bad legislation that is more radical than the 1973 Supreme Court decision itself.
 
In the last Congress, a Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) was introduced that would, if brought forward in the same form today, outlaw any "interference" in providing abortion at will. It would deprive the American people in all fifty states of the freedom they now have to enact modest restraints and regulations on the abortion industry. FOCA would coerce all Americans into subsidizing and promoting abortion with their tax dollars. It would counteract any and all sincere efforts by government and others of good will to reduce the number of abortions in our country.
 
Parental notification and informed consent precautions would be outlawed, as would be laws banning procedures such as partial-birth abortion and protecting infants born alive after a failed abortion. Abortion clinics would be deregulated. The Hyde Amendment restricting the federal funding of abortions would be abrogated. FOCA would have lethal consequences for prenatal human life.
 
FOCA would have an equally destructive effect on the freedom of conscience of doctors, nurses and health care workers whose personal convictions do not permit them to cooperate in the private killing of unborn children. It would threaten Catholic health care institutions and Catholic Charities. It would be an evil law that would further divide our country, and the Church should be intent on opposing evil.
 
On this issue, the legal protection of the unborn, the bishops are of one mind with Catholics and others of good will. They are also pastors who have listened to women whose lives have been diminished because they believed they had no choice but to abort a baby. Abortion is a medical procedure that kills, and the psychological and spiritual consequences are written in the sorrow and depression of many women and men. The bishops are single-minded because they are, first of all, single-hearted.
 
The recent election was principally decided out of concern for the economy, for the loss of jobs and homes and financial security for families, here and around the world. If the election is misinterpreted ideologically as a referendum on abortion, the unity desired by President-elect Obama and all Americans at this moment of crisis will be impossible to achieve. Abortion kills not only unborn children; it destroys constitutional order and the common good, which is assured only when the life of every human being is legally protected. Aggressively pro-abortion policies, legislation and executive orders will permanently alienate tens of millions of Americans, and would be seen by many as an attack on the free exercise of their religion.
 
This statement is written at the request and direction of all the Bishops, who also want to thank all those in politics who work with good will to protect the lives of the most vulnerable among us. Those in public life do so, sometimes, at the cost of great sacrifice to themselves and their families; and we are grateful. We express again our great desire to work with all those who cherish the common good of our nation. The common good is not the sum total of individual desires and interests; it is achieved in the working out of a common life based upon good reason and good will for all.
 
Our prayers accompany President-elect Obama and his family and those who are cooperating with him to assure a smooth transition in government. Many issues demand immediate attention on the part of our elected "watchman." (Psalm 127) May God bless him and our country.

what a powerful statement.

a powerful statement over all from the Catholic Church full of grace, love, respect, encouragement and truth.  rare in our day and age, thanks for sharing lula-
