Can we and/or will we?

I got this from my dad in an e-mail and wanted to share it with you all. After my post about a stronger prayer life, this seems to go right along with it!

Choose you this day whom ye will serve, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15

Can we and/or will we?


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!

“Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
