It's been a LONG time since I've said anything on my blog as I have been warned by a certain someone about suffering the great "blogging away" which would result in being blotted out from my friend's book of blogs. Anyway...
Barack Obama is now our president Elect.
Some points on how to pray for this new public servant and his staff:
He ran on a platform of change. He grew up in a black church that emphasizes liberation theology. He grew up in the 1960's during the civil rights era where African Americans were often treated as second-class citizen (an ugly blot on American history) This gives me a powerful inference:
Barack Obama shares God's heart in that he HATES oppression and injustice!!!!
This gives me great clues on how to pray for him:
1.) Pray for God to overwhelm him and his family with His kindness. Pray for Psalm 91 protection for His family. It is SATAN that desires to kill him-probably through someone who is decieved into thinking they are offering God a service. Scripture clearly tells us no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
2.) Pray that God would open his eyes to see the most innocent, oppressed people group on the earth- a baby in the mother's womb that is suffering the "oppression" of experiencing an abortion.
3.)Pray that God would open the His eyes to see Israel as one of the most oppressed people groups on the earth from a historical perspective.
4.) Pray that God would give Obama prophetic understanding that it is SIN (including all forms of sexual immorality (homosexual and hetrosexual) that is the great oppressor; not white evangelical doctrine. (Some would say that this last paragraph is considered "hate speech".
5.) Economically- there has much sin through greedy people that has gotten us into this economic mess as a nation. Pray that God would give Barack Obama wisdom to promote economic servant leadership without stiffling economic initative.
