Democrats: “Stimulate Economy by Eliminating Children”

“Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward.” Ps 127:3

“These six things the LORD hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him... Hands that shed innocent blood” (Prov 6:16, 17c)

“So you shall not pollute the land where you are; for blood defiles the land” (Num 35:33)

Folks, we knew America was going to be polluted, defiled and cursed by God as the Liberal/Socialist/Pagan agenda took hold (see my previous Alerts of Jan 9th  & Jan 19^th).

Little did we know that this agenda would start with such immediate intensity during the first five days of the Obama administration by:  

1. Reversing the “Mexico City Policy”, thereby encouraging the use of your tax dollars to promote ABORTION overseas (see Relevant article below).  Thus, you and I become involved in exporting the “shedding of innocent blood” worldwide. 
2. Sending money to the states (and Planned Parenthood) to promote “contraception” (and anything else like abortion) which will reduce the births of children and the medical, educational, recreational, etc. costs which accompany the presence of children.  They contend this will “stimulate the economy.”

Here are a variety of excerpts which explain and comment on this demonic plan:

“Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi boldly defended a move to add birth control funding to the new economic ‘stimulus’ package, claiming ‘contraception will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.’”

“Pelosi, the mother of 5 children and 6 grandchildren, who once said, ‘Nothing in my life will ever, ever compare to being a mom,’ seemed to imply babies are somehow a burden on the treasury.”
(see: Pelosi says birth control will help economy)

*****

“We have reached a new low when high-ranking public office holders in the federal government cast children as the enemy. But at least it explains their enthusiasm for abortion-on-demand.”

(see: Pelosi on Kids: They're an Economic Drain)

*****

“Christian Defense Coalition calls Speaker Pelosi’s decision to add contraceptives to the economic stimulus package bigoted, racist, elitist and anti-child.”

“It is now becoming clear that the Democratic leadership intends to use the economic crisis to push forward a radical anti-family social agenda.”

“It is hard to believe that this kind of legislation is coming out of America.  One would expect it more from China or other oppressive governments.”

(see: Christian Defense Coalition to Launch a Major National Campaign to Remove Contraception from Stimulus Package)

*****

“‘At a time of financial crisis, Nancy Pelosi’s solution is to kill future taxpayers,’ said the American Life League.’”

“‘In other words, children are a burden to the economy, and Pelosi believes it’s the government’s responsibility to eliminate them,’ said the Family Research Council.”

“Pelosi has described herself as 'an ardent, practicing Catholic,’ the American Life League said in its news release.”
 
“‘But ardent, practicing Catholics do not treat destruction of human beings and human dignity as an economic stimulus plan. They do not see the death of countless preborn Americans through the use of abortifacient birth control as an opportunity to 'reduce state costs.’”

(see Conservatives Blast Pelosi's Defense of Contraception Spending in Stimulus Bill) 

note: all emphases mine

[At this writing the Obama administration is trying to seem “bipartisan” by asking Congressional pagans like Speaker Pelosi to drop this part of the so-called Economic Stimulus Plan.]

Brethren, for the Liberal/Socialist/Elites, abortion is the cornerstone of their demonic secular “religion” – HUMANISM!  Spiritually, it has been diagnosed as a “blood lust”, from the pit of Hell. Unknowingly, most of them are being driven by their demonic master who loves death.  Thus, the fewer children the better (unless it’s theirs, however – see Nancy Pelosi about that!)

It’s spiritually not very complicated for those who know God and love His Ways as laid out in the Bible:

1.      God wants us to have a good number of children;

2.      He outlaws murder;

3.      The sacrifice of babies and infants is called an “abomination”; many forms of contraception actually kill a live embryo;

4.      Nations which facilitate polices and activities like these will be JUDGED by God (Rev 19:2);

5.      The U.S.A is currently UNDERGOING GOD’S JUDGMENT, which will only intensify as Obama, Pelosi, Democrats, the media, etc. continue their assault on God’s Ways (Rev 6:10; 15:41);

6.      If you doubt Point #5 just above, look around at what’s happening in our country.

*****

HOW TO PRAY:

1. REPENT!  You and I may not approve of the policies above, but as citizens of this country where this is happening, we are guilty, too (see Daniel’s Prayer in Chapter 9);
2. PRAY!  for President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and their coconspirators; they truly need to be SAVED and turn from their very wicked ways (Jer 8:5-6);
3. CRY OUT!  for prophets to be raised up;
4. For a MORAL OUTCRY to begin in the Church;
5. For God to release FIRE from Heaven; a Spiritual FIRE which will engulf the Church and all the land, which is so defiled;
6. Ask God to confuse and nullify these wicked plans and legislative agendas (Ps 33:10-11);

Thanks so much for joining together in this battle which is truly for the Soul of America (Judges 5:2).

How to Pray for Our Country 

“Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your Presence… When You did awesome things for which we did not look, You came down, The mountains shook at Your Presence.  For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him” (Isa 64:1, 3-4)

“And there is no one who calls on Your Name, Who stirs himself up to take hold of You; For You have hidden Your face from us, And have consumed us because of our iniquities.” (Isa 64:7)

Ever since I promised in my last Alert to publish my thoughts on the topic above, I’ve been very concerned.

The topic is massive, complicated and with so many different aspects.  So, I decided to simplify this project by narrowing it down to three subjects:

THE CHURCH

THE GOVERNMENT

THE PRESIDENT

So, here goes:

1. THE CHURCH – “Where are the Watchmen? Where is the Christian Church?”  

The Church and her leaders are supposed to be “the pillar and ground of TRUTH”.  They are supposed to be our WATCHMEN, warning us when evil bandits are coming and calling us to RESIST before we are swept away into CAPTIVITY (see I Tim 3:15 and Ezek 33).

Well, our leaders are failing us; and, therefore, they are failing not only their flocks but also the whole country (Is 56:10, Mt 15:14).

The average Christian, too, has a responsibility to repent for apathy, and to have a sober, watchful walk, to encourage and support his leaders, so that they are strengthened and exhorted to stand, fight, and proclaim truth (1 Pt 5:8-9).

Our new political leaders and their sycophantic co-conspirators in Elite circles Biblically are considered FOOLS.  They do not know God; they despise Him and His Laws/Ways; they want to change our nation into whatever debauched hedonism exists in their blinded imaginations (Ps 2:2; Is 5:24; 53:3; Lk 1:51).

Their plans are EVIL and must be RESISTED by the only institution which supposedly knows the TRUTH – the Christian Church (Neh 13:11-12; Heb 12:4). 

“Because civil government exists for the welfare of the whole society… the Church has the responsibility to comment on the morality of governments and their policies on the basis of God’s Word.”*

But, “Where are the Watchmen? Where is the Christian Church?”

HOW TO PRAY:

·         Come, Lord, pour out Your POWERFUL, WONDERFUL SPIRIT with Your PRESENCE and FIRE;

·         May church leaders “understand the signs of the times”, see how late the hour is and REPENT for their silence (Job 42:6; Mt 16:3);

·         May they not be SILENT; may God call them out and give them holy desperation and divine strategies (Joel 2:1f; Amos 3:7);

·         Lord, move on hearts and cause believers to AWAKEN, to be SOBER, to be WATCHFUL, to be in PRAYER, to turn from FOLLY and pursue HOLINESS (1 Pt 5:8-9);

·         From my humble perspective, it’s almost too late!  But, perhaps God will be MERCIFUL and not turn us over to completely “debased minds” personally, culturally and governmentally (Rom 1:26f);

·         Therefore, our leaders must see this and join us as we CRY OUT.  This is our ONLY HOPE (Ps 119:145-147).

2. THE GOVERNMENT – The Westminster Confession, analyzing Rom 13:1-7, 1 Ptr 2:13-17 and 1 Tim 2:2, makes the following statement about God’s purposes for government:  

“God, the supreme Lord and King of all the world, has ordained civil magistrates to be, under Him, over the people, for His own Glory and the public good… for the encouragement of them that are good and the punishment of evil doers.”** 

Does our incoming government measure up to God’s standards and expectations?

Absolutely not!  In fact, it promotes Evil and calls it “good”.  Let me list just a few examples:

·         It loves and promotes Abortion;

·         It loves and promotes homosexuality and homosexual “marriage”;

·         It has placed people in high positions who are thoroughly corrupt;

·         It is borrowing and spending money at a staggeringly unprecedented rate;

·         It plans to try to stifle and silence all meaningful dissent, thereby creating TYRANNY.

And on and on it goes! 

HOW TO PRAY:

·         May God confuse, nullify and make this government’s wicked plans of no effect (Ps 33:10-11);  

·         May God miraculously reveal Himself and change their minds so they bring forth policies which will be good and beneficial;

·         May governmental officials hear the cries of their constituents and respond mercifully with legislation which will be a blessing;

·         May God raise up strong and authoritative opposition within and without the halls of government (Jer 1:17-19).

3. THE PRESIDENT – Perhaps the most intriguing and important question about President Obama is:  

“What is behind this cult of personality which has so mesmerized the American public, especially the Elites who should be more discerning?” (Gal 3:1)

Even leaders of Christ’s Church have been swept up in it despite Obama’s ungodly and unbiblical policies and behavior.

Answer:  Satan is always looking to displace God.  As we draw nearer to the time for Christ to return, the devil’s opposition to God increases.  Jesus Himself predicted that many false prophets and false messiahs will come, empowered to deceive “even the elect”.  He tells us that during this period “lawlessness will abound and peoples’ love will grow cold” (Mt 24:5, 11, 24).

The Apostle John also tells us that “the spirit of anti-Christ” will be prevalent and “deceivers with anti-Christ spirits” will exalt themselves as objects of worship as they oppose God and His plan for Salvation (2 Thess 2:1-4; 1 Jn 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 Jn 7).

Some believe that Obama has been so empowered, and is, therefore, unknowingly embarked on anti-Christ plans, programs and policies. 

Surely he is not “the anti-Christ” discussed in Scripture, but he seems to have such a demonic anointing that he is almost worshipped and the nation and even some of The Church are deceived (Rev 19:20).

HOW TO PRAY:

·         Pray that God will break in and remove Obama’s demonic anointing (Judg 9:23; 16:20; 1 Sam 16:14-15);  

·         For other ideas about praying for Obama, see my last Alert, “How to Pray for Barack Obama”.

I realize my observations above are controversial; but, how else can you account Spiritually for the Obama phenomenon and his ardent pursuit of the most ungodly policies in history?  Remember, this is a Spiritual battle! 

Thank you for considering these reflections on “How to Pray for Our Country”.

How to Pray for Barack Obama

“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.” (1 Tim 2:1-2)

“[M]y prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.” (Ps 141:5) 

Here we go!  I’m back from Christmas and New Year’s in New York City.  While I was away I was (sort of) able to put the upcoming catastrophe out of my mind.

Then, to my HORROR I remembered that Barack Obama is about to be inaugurated as both Messiah and President of the United States.  He, his left-wing pagan appointees, and the worshipful media are about to lead our beloved country off the cliff into a financial, cultural and moral abyss from which we may never recover.  Rush Limbaugh calls Obama’s policies “Blunders of Historic Proportions”.  Laura Ingraham calls them an “American Suicide Pact”.

So, it is important that we pray for President Obama, his policies and his spiritual understandings.

Here are some suggestions which are quite different from the standard, boilerplate prayers for leaders:

1. Pray for Obama:  
• that he will be truly saved and regenerated (1Tim 2:4);
• that God will dramatically break in and make him into “a new man” (1Sam 10:6);
• that he will renounce the belief he seems to have that he is the new “messiah” for our country (Rom 12:3, Gal 6:3);
• that his anointing to charm and seduce people will dissipate (2Kg 21:19, Pr 5:3-5, 7-21, Ps 58:5, Ezek 13:10, Gal 3:1, 1Tim 4:1);  
• that the Spirit of God will open his understanding with new Biblically-based wisdom, knowledge and understanding (Is 11:2, Eph 1:17);
• that he will live and rule with a new “fear of God” and, humbling his heart, desire to do His Will more than anything (Is 11:2, Phil 2:13);  
• that he will ignore the advice of his counselors and the anti-Christ interest groups (to whom he owes everything); instead, that he will truly understand the Bible and use it as his handbook and guide for how to lead our nation (Ps 119:105, Pr 20:8, Ps 1:1-3, Pr 25:5, 1Kg 12:6f);
• that he will tremble as he comes to understand that he will have to answer to God for how he handles the job God has entrusted to him (Js 3:1);
• finally, that he will replace the false theological prophets he has been listening to and surround himself with truly God-fearing Christian counselors (1Kg 12:6f, 2Pet 2:1-2, Ps 1:1-3).

2. Pray AGAINST Obama’s Policies^*:  
• that he will not be able to get the “Freedom of Choice Act” (FOCA) through Congress (FOCA will eliminate any federal or state laws which restrain abortion in any way; it will also provide for Federal funding of this abomination) – (Pr 6:17);
• that his enthusiastic efforts to advance the homosexual agenda will be thwarted (Rom 1:32);
• that the country will wake up and stop Obama’s rush to socialism, impossible deficits and huge overreaching governmental controls before it’s really too late (Deut 15:6, 1Kg 12:4);
• that the President will not be able to institute embryonic stem cell research (especially since science has proven it is unnecessary due to the proven effectiveness of adult stem cells) – (Ex 20:13);
• that the efforts to silence dissent (e.g., the Fairness Doctrine) will be nullified and rejected (Is 30:10);
• that Obama’s announced intent to emasculate our national defense systems will change as he comes to understand the real threats and dangers we face (Neh 4:23, Pr 31:4-8);
• that he will awaken from his infatuation with appeasing “the international community”, which hates us (2 Chron 20:2, Mk 15:15).  

And on and on it goes.

I understand the above Prayer Suggestions differ from the usual “Oh, Lord, bless our President” prayers.  But, if we truly want to bless Obama, the above list will help.  For, unless he is blessed in the ways mentioned above and “hearkens to God’s Laws and Ways”, it is quite possible he will be cursed for advocating and pursuing abominations God has said He hates (for justification of this perspective, please ponder Deuteronomy 28, the blessings and curses chapter).

Happy 2009 to you all.  We are in for a rough but interesting ride!
