What's next for this blog? (how shall we pray?)

Now that the election is over, and that Sarah Palin will not be the Vice President of US for this upcoming term, what will become of this blog?  What is clear to me is that this blog is still relevant because it contains lots of significant information and records that will help all of us for the next 4 years.  This blog stands as a testament of truth and the efforts of the people of God in fighting for truth, righteousness, and life!  In the future, we can always check back to the facts recorded on this blog, as "wisdom is justified by all her children." (Luke 7:35)


Personally I believe that Palin and McCain was God's choice, but it was the church and American people's choice, to go with God's choice or not.  Sadly, many in the church voted for Obama because they prioritized economic prosperity (personal comfort, leisure) over the most important issue of our lifetime--abortion.  Our prayers should and will be focused more on Obama.  And we still need to pray for Palin too because there is the possibility that she would run for president in 2012.

In praying for Obama, we need to pray that he would have the fear of the Lord and honor God, and that his ideology of "pro-abortion" and "pro gay-marriage" (he opposed Prop 8 in CA) would be radically changed.  We also need to pray that he would stand with Israel, appoint pro-life judges to the Supreme Court, seek godly counsel in regards to foreign policy and the economy.  It may seem almost impossible for Obama to change in these radical manner, but these are the exact things we need to pray for, and believe in.  If God can humble and transform King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4 to a God-fearing leader, He can transform Obama as well.  Let's starting praying!  Jesus is the Lord over America, and Obama will give God all the glory!  No man can be the savior of a nation.  There is only one savior, one king.

Things may get difficult for the US in the next years.  Greater judgment of God may come to America, through terrorist attacks, economic crisis, the continual shedding of innocent blood through abortion, etc.  I do not desire to prophesy gloom and doom, but this nation will reap what she has sown.  The children of God need not to be afraid, but take heart and be courageous.  The kingdom of God is not deterred by any political, external event.  God's kingdom will advance regardless, because revival and harvest is near.  Let us not be discouraged, but press on in prayer and LIFE!

Romans 8:28--And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.  

God will preserve, protect, and prosper His people, no matter what happens.  The favor of the Lord will rest upon His children even in times of crisis.  Let us all seek to enter in His rest.  We fight from victory, we fight from the position of rest (Heb 4).

Lastly, I thank God for raising up Sarah Palin and bringing her onto the political scene in America.  She is godly woman, and a force to be reckoned with!  I know that God has great things in store for Sarah in the near future, and I will continue be praying for her.  Palin and her family faced relentless attacks from the liberals through out this campaign, yet she stood strong and pressed onward in the midst of all the vicious oppositions.  I have tremendous respect for her, for her faith, values, beliefs, character, wisdom, executive leadership, and her political skills as well.  I honor her and bless her in Jesus name!  Sarah Palin, I thank God for you.  Hope to see you in the White House in years to come!
