Barack, Sarah, and the Bible
By Jim Bramlett
This is very interesting. It was sent from a retired Baptist Missionary in South America. Interesting thoughts. Amen!
| Quote: | Dear friends:
Barack Hussein Obama has taken the nation by storm. From obscurity, with zero executive experience, or much of any kind, he has vaulted into the position of Presidential frontrunner. It is stunning. On the surface, it appears attributable only to his eloquent oratory and his race. But an invisible factor may be a strong spiritual force behind him, causing some people to actually swoon in his presence.
I have been very concerned that he has publicly said that he does not believe Jesus is the only way to heaven. This makes both the Bible and Jesus a liar, and it means that Christ has died in vain. A person cannot be a true Christian who believes that there are other ways of forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life with God. Only Jesus has paid the price for that. In one of his speeches he also made fun of some of the scriptures from OUR Bible.
Therefore, there is, indeed, another spirit involved. And this spirit has come into our national life like a flood. At Obama's acceptance speech last month, that spirit exalted itself in front of a Greek temple-like stage, and to a huge audience like in a Roman arena. Obama was portrayed as god-like. His voice thundered as a god’s voice.
At the end, Democratic sympathizer Pastor Joel Hunter gave the benediction and shockingly invited everyone to close the prayer to their own (false) gods. This was surely an abomination, but it was compatible with Obama's expressed theology, and Hunter's leftist leanings.
God was not pleased.
And God says, 'When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.' (Isaiah 59:19)
Enter Governor Sarah Palin. With incredible timing, the very next day, Sarah Palin also appeared out of nowhere. Her shocking selection as John McCain's running mate stunned the world and suddenly took all the wind out of Obama's sails.
We quickly learned that Sarah is a born-again, Spirit-filled Christian, attends church, and has been a ministry worker.
Sarah is that standard God has risen up to stop the flood. She has the anointing. You can tell by how the dogs are already viciously attacking her. But they will not be successful. She knows the One she serves and will not be intimidated.
Back in the 1980s, I sensed that Israel's little-known Benjamin Netanyahu was chosen by God for an important end-time role. I still believe that. I now have that same sense about Sarah Palin.
Today I did some checking and discovered that both her first and last names are biblical words, one in Hebrew the other in Greek:
Sarah. Wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac. In Hebrew, Sarah means 'noble woman' (Strong’s 8283).
Palin. In Greek, the word means 'renewal.' (Strong’s 3825).
Only God knows the future and how she may be used by Him, but may this noble woman serve to bring renewal in the land, and inspiration.
Please continue to pray daily for John McCain and Sarah Palin. They covet your prayers. |
Dear friends, I want to add, that we as Christians can make a difference. I totally believe with this Minister. My spirit has always been disturbed every time that I hear Obama speak. Now I know why, because this is a spiritual warfare. It is time that we wake up, and not make excuses, and pray and seek God's face as to who we have to vote for. It appears that Senator McCain and Gov. Palin are going to lose. Obama and his followers are already counting on that, but I strongly believe that Senator McCain can go with five little stones, as David did, against Obama, the Giant, and come out victorious. This is where we have to have faith enough to believe that with God, anything is possible.
Editor's Note:
I received the above text in an email from a very good friend and Sister in the Lord. I do not know the person that actually wrote this piece, and so I have no way to verify where this actually came from. But despite this "disclaimer", there are many things that were said by this "anonymous" writer that I would not disagree with. In fact, I consider what all that was said to be dead on.
