9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those
nations. 10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh
his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth
divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto
the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive
them out from before thee. 13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. 14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened
unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord
thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
Myrlie
Evers Williams, was the first woman to offer an inaugural prayer and
the first lay person. Many on the left were distracted by her color, her
sex, and her life lived as a civil rights activist and paid no
attention to the true essence of her “prayer.” Those on the right
recognized that she skipped “Under God” while quoting our Pledge of
Allegiance in her “prayer.” I watched this portion of the Inauguration
live and it was the only portion I watched live because I had to leave
immediately after she was done. I know what I heard and I heard a woman
who did not begin her prayer with beseeching God, she started with,
“America.” America is not a god. America is not divine. America is a
land not a spirit. This was her first error. As the course of her
“prayer” continued many seemed perplexed to even understand that she was
praying. The President himself looked up and saw that everyone else’s
head was bowed so he did the same. It was a creepy and muddled “prayer.”
I’m not offended that she was a she, or that she was a lay person, I do
not believe God only hears ordained male ministers’ prayers. What was
offensive was not her skin color, her political party, her laity, it was
that she was not praying to God the Almighty of Heaven and Earth, the
True God, she was praying to the underworld, darkness, speaking to dead
spirits and asking for a blessing from a god that is not God the Father.
In her closing she, I believe, accidentally prayed to Jesus and
compounded her request in his name by adding, “and to all who are holy,”
in an attempt to manage her mistake. I am going to include the video
and the transcript of her prayer. God is a Holy and righteous God who
cannot bless sin. As I heard later in the evening via youtube, President
Barack Obama asked for greater Gay rights for “our gay brothers and
sisters.” I grieved in my spirit knowing that God cannot bless this
country. We deserve judgment on this nation, and the only thing holding
that judgment back is the one true God in His divine mercy.
Full Text of “Prayer”
“America. We are here. Our nation’s capital. On this
day, January the twenty-first, twenty-thirteen, the inauguration of our
45th president, Barack Obama. We come at this time to ask blessings
upon our leaders. The president, vice president, members of congress,
all elected and appointed officials of the United States of America. We
are here to ask blessings upon our armed forces, blessings upon all who
contribute to the essence of the American spirit, the American dream.
The opportunity to become whatever our mankind, womankind allows us to
be. This is the promise of America. As we sing the words of belief, this
is my country, let us act upon the meaning that everyone is included.
May the inherent dignity and inalienable rights of every woman, man, boy
and girl be honored. May all your people, especially of the least of
these, flourish in our blessed nation. One hundred and fifty years after
the Emancipation Proclamation and fifty years after the March on
Washington, we celebrate the spirit of our ancestors,
which has allowed us to move from a nation of unborn hopes and a history
of disenfranchised votes, to today’s expression of a more perfect
union. We ask too, Almighty, that where our paths seem blanketed by
throngs of oppression and riddled by pangs of despair, we ask for your guidance toward the light of deliverance and that the vision of those who came before us and dreamed of this day, that we recognize that their visions still inspire us. They are a great cloud of witnesses unseen by the naked eye, but all around us, thankful that their living was not in vain.
For every mountain, you gave us the strength to climb. Your grace is
pleaded to continue that climb for America and the world. We now stand
beneath the shadow of the nation’s Capitol, whose golden dome reflects
the unity and democracy of one nation, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all. Approximately four miles from where we are
assembled the hallowed remains of men and women rest in Arlington
Cemetery. They who believed, fought and died for this country. May their spirit infuse our being
to work together with respect, enabling us to continue to build this
nation, and in so doing we send a message to the world that we are
strong, fierce in our strength, and ever vigilant in our pursuit of
freedom. We ask that you grant our president the will to act
courageously but cautiously when confronted with danger and to act
prudently but deliberately when challenged by adversity. Please continue
to bless his efforts to lead by example in consideration and favor of
the diversity of our people. Bless our families all across this nation.
We thank you for this opportunity of prayer to strengthen us for the
journey through the days that lie ahead. We invoke the prayers
of our grandmothers, who taught us to pray, “God make me a blessing.”
Let their spirit guide us as we claim the spirit of old.There’s
something within me that holds the reins. There’s something within me
that banishes pain. There’s something within me I cannot explain. But
all I know America, there is something within. There is something
within. In Jesus’ name and the name of all who are holy and right we
pray. Amen.
“Evers-Williams’ denominational affiliation can best be described as
promiscuous. “I have been Baptist, I have been Methodist, I have been
Presbyterian. I have attended all those churches depending on where I
have lived my life.” Source Here.
“She has moved from one church community to another—worshipping as a
Baptist, a Methodist, or a Presbyterian, depending on convenience. She
explained her easy-peasy faith in an interview in the Washington Post: I have never been shy in mentioning my relationship
with what I call God, a Spirit, and there certainly have been times over
the years that I have called on him — or her, if you wish — in public.
I deeply believe that there is a Supreme Being that sees us through.”
Source Here.
Apparently all that time in various denominations hasn’t taught her the
truth in God’s Word. God is not a ‘her’ and God does not allow diviners
or necromancers to be blessed. Choosing this woman to do the prayer I
believe was the goal all along. I believe Barack Hussein Obama is going
to be more blatant in his objection to the true God of the bible and
more open about his pagan beliefs. I could be no more right than using
his own Inauguration Speech as an example. Like I stated above I only
watched Myrlie Evers Williams’ “prayer” live before having to leave.
Once I heard in the evening news what Obama said during his speech I was
aghast and grieved even more concerning the direction this country is
going. Once again let me preface that I have nothing against the color
of this man’s skin, his idiocy (for many idiotic presidents have gone
before him) but it is his blatant disregard and abhorrence of the truth
of who God is that astounds me.•

The Book of Revelation----Full Movie
There Will Be Tribulation
(The Tribulation is a future time period when the Lord will accomplish at
least two aspects of His plan: 1) He will complete His discipline of
the nation Israel (Daniel 9:24),
and 2) He will judge the unbelieving, godless inhabitants of the earth
(Revelation 6 - 18). The length of the Tribulation is seven years. This
is determined by an understanding of the seventy weeks of Daniel. The
Great Tribulation is the last half of the Tribulation period, three and
one-half years in length. It is distinguished from the tribulation
period because the Beast, or Antichrist, will be revealed, and the wrath
of God will greatly intensify during this time. Thus, it is important
at this point to emphasize that the Tribulation and the Great
Tribulation are not synonymous terms. Within eschatology (the study of
future things), the Tribulation refers to the full seven-year period
while the term "Great" Tribulation refers to the second half of the
Tribulation.)
