Praying for the president

  I have been against Barak Obama since he came on the scene and started running for president. I was one of the minority who actually paid attention to the things the conservative media found when they did what the liberal media would not do: vet him.

  I didn't - and don't oppose him for being a black man. I do believe voting for anyone based on their color is just as bad as voting against them because of their color - both is racist, and I am not racist. By the time election day came, I knew enough about this guy that seemingly appeared out of nowhere, to scare me out of my wits...... and not only did this county elect him, they did it again.

  I see a lot of people admonish that we need to pray for him..... and I find myself wondering what they mean. What are they praying in regards to this man who seems bent on destroying our religious and other freedoms? Success? I hope not. Blessing? I hope not.... I don't want him blessed or successful. His blessings and success mean the opposite for Americans, especially those who worship God. The true God, not Allah, who Obama seems to regard more highly than our God.

  There are bumper stickers and t-shirts like this one:
That verse says: Let his days be few,
And let another take his office.


  That's humorous, unless you like the guy. I do wish at least the second part of that would be true, but we seem to be stuck with him.

  So here is what I am thinking: If we don't want his socialist, anti-God, anti-freedom, anti-everything that is good, policies to work, we shouldn't pray for his success or that he be blessed....... and a true Christian shouldn't pray the above prayer, as much as I hate to say it, what SHOULD we pray for this guy who seems to want to be a dictator (he has gone around Congress several times, has said the Constitution gets in the way - those are the actions and words of a dictator).

  Here is the only thing I believe we should pray for Barak Obama: That he come to a true saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, so that it completely changes him.

  "But he is a Christian", you say. Hogwash.

If he were a Christian:
He would fight for the unborn, not do more to further the cause of abortion financially and politically

He would fight for Biblical marriage, not for gay marriage
He would acknowledge Jesus verbally
He would be Israel's friend, and fight for her, not side with her and our enemies
He would tell the truth, always, and not lie continually
He would be humble, not arrogant
He would be truly transparent, not one who does back room deals
He would live his Christian life 24/7, not pull God out as a means of pushing his own agenda

  Barak Obama is not a Christian. The Bible says we shall know people by their fruits, and he has really rotten fruit.

So.... pray for him, if you feel you should, but don't pray for him to be successful, for if he is, we will lose even more freedoms, abortion will flourish all the more. gay marriage will be the law of the land, and we will most likely be taken over by the people he defends most: Muslims....... so pray that he truly finds a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. Then, and only then, can he become the man and president he should be.
