Well over the last two nights I was in panic mode regarding the election. All I could think about were the millions of babies that would die because they MAY be allowed by Federal law to be left to die even if they survive a botched abortion. EVEN NARAL remained neutral on this issue when it was brought out. Please watch the link included for more info on that. IF there is no link yet, it will be added soon. I even was brave and watched the movie about abortion made called “The Silent Scream”. Most noteworthy about that movie was this, after the doctor and the ansthetesiologist had watched the ultrasound of their murder, they NEVER performed or participated in another abortion. WHY is this? Because they saw the truth of what abortion was and they were disgusted.
I had posted on Facebook as one of my status updates, that I was “finding it very hard to pray for someone I am HATING!!!” I MUST CLARIFY THIS. First I must apologize for this statement as there were a couple people who had the guts to comment to me about it….for that I thank you. I was so angry and outraged and impassioned about this life issue that I was projecting that anger onto the now President Elect Obama. In deeper and more accurate truth, I do NOT HATE him…..I DO hate his decisions and clear support of abortion at any stage of pregnancy or birth or even after birth. Is HATE a strong word??? Yes it is. But one of the principles in the Word of God is to hate the SIN, but LOVE THE SINNER. I would modify this to clarify it further to HATE the actions of those that don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ BUT LOVE THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES. Quite frankly I was flat out wrong in my choice to harbor such strong feelings toward someone when it’s their decisions that I can’t stand.
I have to go back to the basics In order to deal rightly with the more complicated. And here is the deal:
Obama is a lost soul that is in desperate need as I was at one time of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He says he is Christian….ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT IS IN HIS HEART…..however based on God’s Word, He gave us something to be able to somewhat discern if someone is truly saved. “By their fruit you shall know them.” A closer examination of Obama may reveal this. Remember that many say they are Christian but have no clue what Christianity really is. It isn’t militant, it is radical compared to the world’s standards but it is not a violent “religion”. More on that discussion at another time, probably soon too.
Lastly, HERE IS MY CHOICE: I am choosing to pray for Obama and the congress of this nation. As a friend of mine put it, “if God can use Nebuchadnezzar (see the book of Daniel), He can surely use a far left Liberal.” AMEN. God is God and we are just men. Just imagine what a testimony it would be if Obama truly got saved, accepted Christ as His Savior and changed his stand on the two biggest issues of the sanctity of life and of marriage to agree with the Word of God…..that is what I am praying for with him, those around him, and those that have the ability to override him in Congress.
PLEASE PRAY WITH ME FOR OUR LEADERS AND FOR REVIVAL IN OUR CHURCHES.
