A link to Rush Limbaugh's transcript of the topic of Obama and the Christian Prayer Breakfast 2015: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2015/02/05/why_our_president_chose_to_insult_christianity_and_excuse_militant_islam_at_the_national_prayer_breakfast
I
have taken the time to read through this transcript and I came away
with this, it is not that "we all believe God listens to us only, that
we have the perfect understanding." It is that We Listen To God. Any
Christian who Listens to God would be on the same page as the Christian
next to them. The huge mistake that pagans have is that somehow people
who follow Christ become mindless idiots who stop thinking for
themselves when it is the furthest from the truth. We are still
individual and we think in our own way, understand in our own way and
love in our own way but we Agree with God that we will do all things
with His help, His guidance and understanding. If one Christian seems to
look and act like another and our goals are the same it is clearly
because we are listening to God together. God does not change, has not changed
and will not change. If we listen and take wisdom from God and apply it
to our lives, from the outside we Will look like carbon copies but it is
what is going on in our hearts and minds is where all of the deep and
hard work continue to undergo transformation of the human spirit and
God's spirit to become one. As Jesus prayed for all of us who came to
know him, in the Gospel of John Chapter 17 Jesus prayed to His Father
that we would become one with Him just as Jesus and His Father were one
and we would all be as one together. This response from Obama is typical
worldly, pagan rhetoric that is used against every Christian to bash
them down, make them feel like they are doing something wrong and when
we begin to believe that lie then we are failing. If we are upsetting
the world then we are pleasing God. Jesus tells us in His word that the
world hates Him, how much we at times overlook that simple and yet huge
statement. Jesus says to us that if we follow Him that we will be hated
as much and persecuted for our following Him. My point being is that
what Obama said is partly true but when heard through the ears of the
pagans sounds like Christians believe they are the only ones who hear
God. You and I both know that is not true, that anyone can hear from God
but it is up to us to start somewhere in our lifelong conversation with
God to delve into His word. Thanks be to God for the Bible because we
have thoughts, feelings, heartfelt yearnings of our God printed in black
and white so we can communicate with Him whenever we need and want. If
we are following Jesus and our heart is committed and we nourish
ourselves in the Word of God daily then we will begin to look alike as a
body of Christ because we are being changed from the old man into the
new and that new man looks like, sounds like, walks like, talks like
Jesus. Could we be anyone other than Christ for the world? Can you think
of anyone better to soothe the hurts of this world, feed the spiritually
hungry, clothe the naked than Christ Himself? Let us be the Jesus they
need.
It
is not whether we Christians are the only ones who "know it all" it is
that we listen to the One who Made it all and tells us how we are to
live, to love, to respect one another and if I look like a carbon copy
then I take it as a compliment from the devil. The devil means it as a
slam but as a Christian that tells us we are on the right path. To me,
in my opinion Islam is a counterfeit religion to Christianity begun and
fertilized by the devil, their spiritual writings and teachings lead
people to commit horrendous acts of violence and murder and it will lead
all who follow to the depths of hell itself. It is normal that
Christians and Jews would be eternal enemies with Islam, the devil hates
Jesus and either way both religions follow Jesus and Islam follows the
devil. There is a Christmas song we sing every year around the world,
Who's Child is This and in the lyrics are the words, "the silent word is
pleading." It makes me think of the cross and the crucified Christ, He
IS the word of God and in His silence upon that cross He IS pleading
with His arms stretched out wide to accept all who would call Him
Father, Lord, Savior. No other religion on earth will lead us to the
foot of that cross, no other faith on this earth will connect us with
the maker of the universe than the faith we are given by God the Father
to believe in Jesus His one and only Son. I have gone on long but the
article was long and there was much said. Much that is said and repeated
every day in mainstream media and it is meant to run us down in our
faith and question and doubt the Good Work God has begun in you and me,
let it not deter you from your appointed path we must all suffer the
slings and arrows of this faithless world in order to be shed of its
impurities and when our process is done we will be treasures in the
storehouse of God for Him to admire for all eternity. This message is
meant in the spirit of brotherly love for my brothers and sisters in
Christ.
