I see the spirtual warfare at work. People are blinded, their ears do not hear,their eyes do not see that they are about to step off into a world that they can't even imagine except that God intervenes. Our God is a God of might and miracles and if we pray and believe, I believe along with you that the victory will be His. Thank you Susan. connieTO BECOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01358989235076877037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-66556760116004639392008-10-27T20:32:00.000-05:002008-10-27T20:32:00.000-05:00Oh, Susan!

God being omnipotent and omniscient does know what the outcome of all this is, but the value of prayer by concerned believers can still influence the ALMIGHTY to interviene in the outcome. I personally know of people whom have changed their minds on issues and they cannot tell you why and it IS THE HOLY SPIRIT DIRECTING THEM. The experience in which I saw this occur was with non christians,thus THEY the person does not necessarily have to be persuaded, as they can be divinely influenced and they don't ever reconigze/know it. therefore our freverent prayer can and does influence the Holy Spririt. SO PRAY...

My hubby thinks that God's mind is persuaded by how Christians live and not how they pray. On the other hand, God is merciful but not until we have repented. <BR/><BR/>"Everyone does what is right in their own eyes" and are not obedient to the Word of God so sometimes God has to do something drastic in order to discipline us. Why pray that our country be blessed so we can continue to heap us to ourselves houses, lands and stuff, drink what we want to and watch what we want to and live lives doing church instead of living lives surrendered to Christ?<BR/>I think that at some point, God is going to spew us out of his mouth.<BR/><BR/>What is happening to our country at the moment is a direct cause of how we as Christians have lived our lives.<BR/><BR/>However, this is a great post. I am not at all criticizing it. Just added thoughts.Cherdecorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790199524063763787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-55613295862047133712008-10-27T04:12:00.000-05:002008-10-27T04:12:00.000-05:00I don't understand the point of praying.

Surely the omnipotent and omniscient almighty heavenly father, in his mercy and wisdom, has already decided the outcome of this?<BR/><BR/>Won't the outcome be dependent on how people vote? If anyone can persuade others to vote a certain way by logic, reasoning and argument, that is democracy. Nothing to do with praying.Maaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444125754967223180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183659495792368796.post-30153034418109584102008-10-27T02:21:00.000-05:002008-10-27T02:21:00.000-05:00I appreciate your entry on Dutch Sheets call to pr...I appreciate your entry on Dutch Sheets call to prayer, I really do. However, this is my first time to your blog and I just wanted to congratulate you on 49 years and counting. I got a chuckle out of your desire to live to at least 120.
