Rev. Charles Stanley Speaking Out.
I was very dismayed when, recently, a
member of my Church said to me with great resignation that she was
afraid Obama will take the presidency. These words came from someone
that in the past has been a great prayer warrior. What is happening was
my question??? Why are we Christians settling for the loss of our
Christian heritage, not issuing a battle cry and falling to our knees
and taking our country back? We allow ourselves to be stripped of the
right to pray at school functions and in school, we have the Ten
Commandments removed from government places and are told we cannot pray
publicly or proclaim Christian principles, all the while providing
public prayer places for Muslims. We allow Muslim mosques to operate in
America funded by Saudi Arabia , and proclaim anti-American,
anti-Christian threats and terrorism.
What in the world is going on and why
are we being so apathetic? Why aren't we praying? Our God is an Almighty
God who is waiting patiently for us to raise our voices to heaven to
stop the tide of the anti-Christian actions in our world today. Now we
have a charismatic, albeit inexperienced, candidate for president that
does not respect our flag and refuses to wear one on his lapel except
when it becomes politically expedient, and whose own wife and pastor
that he loves profess to have strong anti-white feelings, and we sit
back and say 'it is a given, we can do nothing???' There has never been
a time in 2000 years that we can do nothing, never a time that we must
sit back and allow the evil in men's and women's hearts to take over our
world! We should be afraid, very afraid because our apathy is leading us
to perdition.
It is time for all Christian Americans to raise the battle cry and take
our nation back! Maybe McCain on his own cannot defeat Obama, but our
God can and He will if we take to our knees in prayer and raise a mighty
cry to the heavens to 'Save us O Lord'. We have God's promises in 2
Chronicles 7:14, 'If my people who are called by my name humble
themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I
will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.'
We have the power to change the course of this election and to keep a
man as suspect as Barak Obama from leading our country to who knows
where with his message of 'change'; a change which I fear will be away
from our Christian ideals, and away from Christ, and further away from
one nation under God to one nation under Allah.
We are great at passing stories and pictures around the Internet but
where are our prayers and prayer warriors praying to stop this tide of
Barak Obama? God parted the Red Sea, Jesus was raised from the
dead, and we can bring our country back to its Christian roots and stop
the undermining of our country by Muslims. We can stop our country from
being 'under Allah' but we must begin to pray, to pray as our country
and our lives depended on it because they do.
We can stop all these atrocities against God's commands that have taken
root in our country through something as simple as sincere prayer, a
call to God to deliver us, to forgive us our sins of apathy and to
protect us from the evil that is upon us.
Okay prayer warriors, here is your
challenge, start those prayer chains. Get the spiritual power working on
our behalf and stop Barak Obama the proper way, by calling on our God to
save us from the deception that charismatic preaching is using to lead
us on the wrong path. Stop those who would take God out of our country
and our government. Raise up good men to lead us and protect us. George
Bush is being buffeted because he has fought a holy war against the
evils that attack us ... and we should not be surprised because a
prophet is not honored in his own country. But we should not rest on our
laurels and allow ourselves to be taken further off the path of
Christianity and to have God removed from our presence in our schools,
courts, government and businesses. Invite God into the fray. Ask that
His power rest upon us and give us the victory. Ask him to raise up a
mighty army to defend us and to protect our country as he did in days of
old. Let us be victorious beginning NOW. The battle is His but we must
call on Him without ceasing and unite our voices and hearts in prayer
and fasting.
Please pass this around to all people
of prayer that you know and maybe, just maybe, a more eloquent person of
prayer will write something better and more inspiring and even the rocks
will shout that Jesus is Lord and our Mighty God is with us and bringing
the victory for us and ultimately for Him. AMEN!
