Here at the IFB it has been our sincere desire that President Obama and the oppressing secular elites and ruling class of this world would see the ETERNAL big picture and their desperate need for Almighty God's saving grace, which is found ONLY in the Savior of the world (the Lord Jesus Christ), Who ALONE is KING of kings and LORD of lords of time and ETERNITY (John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 Tim. 2:1-7). We pray daily for the soul of President Obama that he would come to a saving relationship to Jesus Christ; the King of kings and Lord of lords.
How many believers (who are forgiven transgressors and debtors to the GRACE and MERCY of Almighty God) actually pray for President Obama's salvation on a daily basis?
. .
Indeed a great Day of ETERNAL JUDGMENT is coming in which (all people) great and small will stand before the Son and give a full account for their deeds in the flesh and their rejection and rebellion against the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God.
Almighty God is NOT willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL would come to a saving knowledge of the Savior of the world.

Almighty God is NOT willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL would come to a saving knowledge of the Savior of the world (John 3:16-17, Rom. 2:42, 1 Tim 2:1-7), and so also do we. Here at the IFB the GLORIOUS GOSPEL (1 Cor. 15:1-4) is at the very heart of every one of our posts; for progressives as well as conservatives who know not the Savior in Spirit and TRUTH (John 4:24, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 Cor. 15:1-4). Our political and spiritual perspective and position is taken from an objective biblical point of view from ETERNAL reality and the PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS demanded by Almighty God for each individual of Adam's fallen race (Rom. 5:12-21, 10:2-4, James 2:10). There was a time when we here at the IFB ( as individuals) once walked the course of the world and were dead in our trespasses and sins against the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS ABSOLUTES of Almighty God (1 Cor. 6:9-11, Eph. 1:7, 2:1-12, Titus 3:3-5, Rev. 1:5) It was in Almighty God's GREAT GRACE and MERCY, in much long suffering towards us that in the fullness of time we turned to His ETERNAL grace and He saved us from ETERNAL ruin and became children of the King of ETERNITY (Rom. 2:4, 2 Cor. 2:10, Eph. 2:1-12). Oh my dear friends, we at the IFB KNOW forgiveness and we are now debtors to Almighty God's ETERNAL LOVE to share with ALL, even Presidents, Radio Talk Show hosts and elected officials that Jesus truly saves and is coming again in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Mal 3:1-3, Matt. 25:31-45, 2 Cor. 5:17-21, Rev. 19:11-21)!
The Bible's message of Salvation is very, very clear to all and one that we need not be offended by.
It is again are sincere desire that President Obama turn (180 degrees) and come to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ in Spirit and Truth. The Bible's message of SALVATION is very, very clear to all and one that we need not be offended by. We are just to BELIEVE it, RECEIVE it, REJOICE in it, ENJOY it, and THANK Almighty God for it! It is just that simple my dear friend (Acts 16:28-30, Rom. 10:17, Rev. 22:17)! But... unfortunately the heart and pride of fallen man usually always gets in the way (Prov. 8:13-14, 16:18, 18:12, Matt. 23:37-38, John 5:40, Rev. 9:20-21)
The Bible Teaches:
The Bible Teaches:
Romans 5:8 - "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Sin separates us from God. God's Peace and Eternal Life are lost because of our sins.
Romans 5:12 - "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned;"
Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
God has provided the gift of ETERNAL Life. This Life is found in His Son, Jesus Christ.
Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
You can have this Life! This Life is made possible through Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:1 - "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:"
Romans 1:16 - "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
Romans 5:21 - "That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 10:9 - "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
Romans 10:13 - "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10:10 - "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
WHAT TO PRAY
Dear God, I know that I am a transgressor against Your PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS and I need Your complete forgiveness to enter SAFELY and PERFECTLY into ETERNITY and into Thy HOLY PRESENCE. I believe with ALL my heart that You (Jesus Christ) died for ALL my TRANSGRESSIONS against You as Your Word clearly states. I now REPENT and PLACE my complete trust in You as MY Lord and Savior and will follow You as the Lord of my Life.
May it be so!
May it be so!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

If you really are "praying" for Obama, that makes you nothing more than the worst sort of hypocrite. Examine your own heart before you start worrying about the President and do something about the hate in it. Then you may be correct in calling yourself "Christian."
My dear friend, What is absolutely tragic is that you have absolutely no discernment and are void of the clear teachings of the Bible on salvation. God has given us every right to apply sound biblical judgment on any matter or individual. That does not make us better then any. In your relativistic world perception of no Biblical absolutes you will forever wander with no understanding until you believe God’s Word. May it be so!
Take the Gospel of John challenge and see where you stand.

That is such a beautiful prayer. I was really moved by its simplicity and power. God is not complicated at all to understand. All he wants is our Love and to admit that we can do nothing without his help.
Thank you for a wonderful posting. Yes indeed it is good and right to pray for our Countries leaders that they may discern God's Will.

Many readers including those who can discern might be cynical becuase of your posts prior through the years. But without going into rightly dividing the word in truth in detail all i can say this is far more reaching than face value. Wise, and Well Done...swm
Well thanks... it is truly done in all sincerity. No matter whom the individual ETERNITY is FOREVER and we would desire all men to be saved.
May it be so!
David
Anna, Amen! that is God's will for us... to pray that all would come to a saving knowledge of His dear Son (John 3:16-17). If we know what God has done for us how can we wish Hell on any (Rev. 20:11-15). Woe unto any who do such! ETERNITY in damnation is not to be wished on any. May our hearts be truly right before the Lord the Savior of our very souls.
God speed!
David
When he was first elected I prayed exactly that, knowing what kind of man he was. My prayer was that God would speak to his heart and that he would be a good leader despite what I knew of the man. He turned out to be even more evil than even I imagined and he is an anti Christ. I find myself praying for his removal, trial and imprisonment. I pray for the destruction of the evil so called democrat party that gave us this demon. I pray for the destruction of these enemies of this nation and enemies of God. Ok, I will pray for his salvation too, but I will still pray for those other things. I pray he finds salvation in a prison cell.
If someone murdered your wife or child would you pray for their salvation? Maybe you would, but would you want them to go free? Not be punished? The crimes of this regime are monstrous. They are murderers and I want them brought to justice. That is my prayer. I pray God makes war on these evil people.

The key is to see the ETERNAL in everything. I agree with you. He is an abominable traitor to the Constitution etc.
As to would I pray for my wife murder salvation etc the truth would be yes for no matter who the person I do not wish ETERNAL damnation on any and it is God's will that I would forgive and pray for his soul, but of course they would be totally accountable to all of society's justice and I would demand that with all my being.
Some of the worst monsters such as Manasseh, Nebuchadnezzar, Saul of Tarsus etc.. all came to saving relationship to Almighty God and after that they rejoiced in the Lord.
Oh the wonders of Almighty God's saving grace!
David
You are a better man than me David. I consider these people in power over us as sociopaths the likes of Caligula and Nero.
I have been having trouble seeing the eternal lately. It seems even the American Church has become lukewarm and afraid to stand against these people. That's why I have removed myself from it. I was heartened a little bit today though when Dobson came out today and called Obama the abortion president and said " I will not yield to your wicked regulations."
He stopped short of calling Obama wicked, which is what I want to hear our so called christian leader say. To quote John's disciple:
Having, on a certain occasion, casually met Marcion, who said to him: "Dost thou know us? Polycarp replied: "Yea, I know thee as the first-born of Satan."
C.J.
C.J.,
That is the key.. we are only here for a moment and we must see the ETERNAL and our position in Christ (Eph. 2:6, Col 3:1-4). It will totally set us free!
Let our country go. Do all you can of course but our calling is not to be a conservative or even and American first but a servant of Christ first. That has helped me to get my priorities right and not be distracted. Of course it is heart breaking but this must be. Satan would love for us to fight for the total preservation for America (again doing all we can...) being that he knows that once the Rapture takes place this nation will be done (Rev. 6-16). If we choose the wrong fight we are aiding his cause.
That was awesome what Dobson said! And Cruz, Palin, Lee, Rush, Savage etc… But I believe that Dobson does not even believe in the Rapture or the tribulation which is at hand! That has been the heart of this ministry (IFB) helping people to see that America is done for and the Kingdom of heaven is at hand! We have hope in that our Savior is at the door! and then ETERNITY!
Eph5:16-17 my friend, Even so come Lord Jesus!
David
David, even if you do believe in the rapture, and scripture is not really clear on that, we do not know when it will happen. I put no faith in that. Yes, it would be nice, but what if George Washington had that attitude? I can't just let go of my country. I know in the end YES, it will be futile, I know what the word says. But again, I can't be a sheep and not fight back. I hope you are right about the rapture. But until if and when it happens, I can not surrender to these evil people. If the Church had stood up and been the salt, we would not have this judgement upon us call Obama.
C.J.
CJ,
Thanks for your follow up. We get that perspective a lot and also… the Scriptures are totally clear on the Rapture but one has to read the Bible from a dispensational position. I totally encourage you to look into it.
We have written on this topic quite a few times and the key to understanding our day is to see our day as EXPONENTIAL. Everything today is EXPONENTIAL and we have no more room globally to exist any more. Weapons, technology, lawlessness, immorality, violence, media etc.. is all… EXPONENTIAL…
George Washing to even Reagan did not live in this world in which we live in today with rapid EXPONENTIAL deterioration on societies and cultures. The world is a powder keg ready to blow. Once America implodes - which it will very soon… - then who will be the world’s restrainer of evil (Rev, 6-16)? No one… that is why it is very clear to see that we are indeed at the door of the Lord’s return to planet earth (Dan. 2:43-44, 7:13-14, Rev. 3:7-10, 19:11-21).
Again, NEVER surrender… I never said to give up, but use it all to point to Almighty God’s saving grace for fallen man. The church was always going to fail in the end, that is what Rev. 2-3 is all about. It is full of humans; regenerated yes… but still humans that is why Christ comes for His bride for her work is over then back to waking up Israel. Also one more thing, God allows all rulers to be in power (Dan 4:17). Almighty God is totally judging this nation now and as under many kings in Israel, God has given America what she truly wants.. Obama.
See the ETERNAL and the EXPONENTIAL… sounds easy enough but God has to do the work in our hearts for us to truly see it my dear friend!
I’ll post a picture of where we are on the home page.
Thanks and Eph. 5:16-17!
David
