chit chat that day

lilmama: I'm still grieving. I think we definitely need to pray for our nation too, not just our president. I'm grieved that prop 4 did not pass yesterday, it means young girls can go get an abortion on their lunch break without any member of their family ever knowing.

I feel like God is always good, but I also feel the weight of the failure in the spirit realm.

It's like when someone dies of cancer. We don't stop praying for cancer to end, but we feel the defeat when it happens.

I feel the defeat today.

I am concerned for our nation.

I am concerned for the families of this nation.

lilmama: I will never question that (God IS SO GOOD)

But how long will I have to see babies die, my heart is mourning today, I suppose it should every day, but today especially.

arealchange: The black magic that exists in Kenya praying curses on the USA is something prophets and intercessors should be praying about

lilmama: I'm sure we could add that to the list, but we have our plates quite full here in the US with the abortion issue alone.

lilmama: very beautiful, this looks like the sundial bridge walk, like one of the places where the trees open up and you want to go off the trail to explore.

arealchange: not saying all Kenyans are bad, I love Kenyans.. but there is an issue of witchcraft and persuasion that must be resisted thru prayer

ericj: No the prophets and intercessors are to declare Gods goodness. Most attention to enemy turns to affection. There is a stirring that is aiming a unnecessary attention and energy to "Kenya".

lilmama: I haven't been in the news at all today, so i don't know what's going on in Kenya, but I do know what I feel for my own nation today, and that is enough for now.
at 12:05PM 11/05/08

arealchange: ...we need to be aware of the persuasion that has entered to know what to declare and prophesy in faith

rachiebee: @ sandi - someone in our group actually had us specifically praying against the witchcraft in Kenya and it's effects on the election. I know what you're talking about.

suem: there is witchcraft everywhere and most people have no idea and Kenya is not the real issue to do with witchcraft trust me.The church has an assignment to pray for the Presidant and see him have an encounter that changes everything

lilmama: And this post today was to remind everyone that we also need to pray for our nation, and for the abortion issue. it's not just about one man, it's about a whole nation, and I weep every time I come to this page. I know I won't be in this place forever, but my heart is broken today over the battle that was lost yesterday.
at 12:14PM 11/05/08

ericag: biblically when god wanted to win he won. Even when thenidda were against them, god would win when he wanted to. Hrnis sovereign. And he is always more sovereign than witchcraft. He is above the devil. He is seated in high places. Genus good and he sits in the heavens and laughs. I don't think witchcraft put him in office. I think the American people voted and said they were not ready and also I think god is up to something. And I actually think both of those are the same thing. God is sovereign and on the move. He always has his way and he always wins.

ericag: ...and in the old test don't forget the people cried out for a king and god said that is a bad idea but he let them have their king. God answers the cry of the peole. I pray that in the next election we will be crying louder.

lilmama: He is a man with authority now to carry out the plans of his heart, and they just happen to be plans that are in direct opposition of my mandate. So, I'm still trying to sort everything out.

Not afraid of him, will honor him, but things are complicated.

I can't just be tra-la-la about it, that's my way, I'm an intense person. But I am looking to heaven for my direction and revelation.

hupagirl: From today until January he will be assembling his team and staff that will surround him, advise him and correct him throughout his presidency ~ it is still a great day to pray!

rachiebee: @ everyone about the witchcraft - okay, you guys are making this a way bigger deal than it needs to be. It's just a different way to pray. It's not saying "ooooh, scary witchcraft", it's just realizing there can be things like that around and being aware of it and praying against is only going to help.

I don't think Obama is a bad, I'm not afraid of him, I'm not afraid of witchcraft. But there is a thing called DISCERNMENT and WISDOM. It's just knowing how to pray. Saying, "Jesus, encounter him, AMEN!" is great, but if you can specifically target things in his life (not the witchcraft thing persay) to pray over, it can be more effective.

I am also not going to be "tra-la-la" about it (haha)...I can't. This is bigger than many realize, but I'm just reminding myself that GOD is bigger than all of it. I trust Him with everything, and now it's our chance to rise up in UNITY and heal our land with our prayer and daily sacrifice.

lizflaherty: The great thing about being the body with all different temperaments is that we all deal with tragety and disappointment differently. One way is not better than the other. For me in times of hardship I have to fight to keep my joy and peace. I think thats why I am not going there with tears of grief. I need to find out what God is doing today. He has a plan. He knew the elections would go this way. The people chose the president they wanted.
It reminds me of Paul and David. The people weren't satisfied with God as their King. So God gave them Saul. Right now I feel like we are in the hour of David being persecuted by Paul. Will we honor him although he wants to slay us?

at 01:56PM 11/05/08

lilmama: Yeah, I agree, we all handle it differently. I think the most powerful victory in my life is that on a day like today, I still feel so connected to Father God, I feel so loved by him and so trusting towards him still, never wanting to question his goodness. That is something I learned from Bill when we saw him walk through his dad's death.

I'm so glad I don't question God anymore, it feels so good.

I still have to cry though, it's the only way I know how to deal with grief.
at 02:16PM 11/05/08

lizflaherty: Yeah losing both my parents to cancer I am acquainted with grief. I would rather try to laugh through it then cry. But like I said thats just me and where I am at and my personality.
to lilmama
at 02:20PM 11/05/08

lilmama: That is a lot of grief for a woman of your age. I'm sorry.
at 02:21PM 11/05/08

lizflaherty: I didn't mean to sound demeaning to you grieving over this Nichole...I was just sharing that Ive found that its ok for others to respond differently. It doesn't make us unpatriotic and I know your not saying that.
Yeah my mom died when I was 19 and my dad when I was 23. That is why my brother, who was 14, came to live with me.
to lilmama
at 02:28PM 11/05/08

lilmama: Totally, I didn't feel that from you and I hope no one would feel that from me, that I'm saying you have to handle this a certain way.

I appreciate your input.
