BARACK OBAMA SEEKS TO BRING CHANGE AND REUNITE AMERICA!

A Call to the Church

As the psalmist understood, “For not from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert comes exaltation; but God is the Judge; He puts down one, and exalts another” (Psalm:75:6For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up.).

Regardless of what we feel about his politics, Bill Clinton could not have been elected without God allowing it. Therefore, we must now ask ourselves, “Why did the Lord want Bill Clinton to be president and how should we respond to him?”

We will answer the latter question first. Romans:13:1Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the [powers] that be are ordained of God. tells us how the church should respond: “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.”

If we believe in the integrity of the Scriptures we must believe that Bill Clinton is the Lord’s choice for our next president. Even though we might debate why God “appointed” him, we cannot debate that he did. The Lord stated to Paul Cain in his dream that it was His intention to use Clinton for good and not for evil, but it will depend on how the church responds to him.

This is not to imply that Mr. Clinton is presently on the right side of every important moral and political issue. We did not elect a pastor or a theologian—we elected a public servant.

God has often “elected” leaders who were of questionable moral stature, but would change them. Abraham lied but God still used him. Moses was a murderer but God still chose him. King David was both a murderer and adulterer, but God still loved him and used him. The Lord loves and intends to use Bill Clinton. The Lord does not see him as he is, but as the man he will become. This is why the church must respond to Mr. Clinton’s election by obeying the Biblical command to pray for him.

Paul reiterated this in his first letter to Timothy (1 Timothy:2:1-2[1]I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;[2]for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.):

“First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.”

“THE MOST AMAZING AND WONDERFUL ASPECT OF THIS DREAM WAS THAT PAUL CAIN SAW THE LORD PUTTING HIS SPIRIT UPON BILL CLINTON AND CHANGING HIM INTO ANOTHER MAN, JUST AS HE DID KING SAUL IN I SAMUEL!”

Why did the Lord choose Bill Clinton? Because He intends to put His Spirit upon him and make him into a new man. He is going to give him the power of the Holy Spirit to lead this country. What some people in the church regarded as a defeat is actually a blessing from the Lord. If the church will pray for this it will come to pass.

CLINTON SEEKS REUNITED STATES

This headline reflects another important characteristic of the Clinton Administration—there is an anointing on our new president to work for the unifying of the country, regionally, racially and economically. The enemy is seeking to use the conservative church to bring further division in the country. But the Lord wants to use the conservative church even more than He wants to use the government. And He will if we will humble ourselves and submit to His plans and purposes for this administration. During the administration of JFK great racial and social conflicts arose and the same will be true during the Clinton administration. The Lord will exalt a humble church and use her to bring greater unity and freedom than any law or government ever could. As Leonard Ravenhill once said, “God bless and help the man in the White House, but the answer to our national dilemma is not there—it is in God’s house, if we clean it up.”
