Ezek. 22:30 says And I sought for a man among them, that should
make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should
not destroy it: but I found none. He was looking for a man who would intercede
for the things happening in the ghettos and around the country but he found no
one, we too busy preachers talking about that’s so wrong the president
endorsing same sex marriages but the Lord said he came and found no one to
stand in the gap to make intercession for this country, Is it because we believe that we shall
receive power after the Holy Ghost is come up on us and we receive tongues and
all but we call the power witchcraft, or don't know how to exercise the power
that was poured out unto us, simply because for years we were taught that we
don't have it, but the scripture clearly states we shall receive power after
the Holy Ghost, perhaps we are
unfamiliar with it on this wise, are we operating in it?
Do you believe in the power that cast out
demons or heals the sick? The Lord is looking for someone who can stand in the
gap for America, for our black youth, for our ghettos, for this land, not being
critical of what he has placed before us, but preparing you for the next outpour
of the Holy spirit will you be one who stands in the gap or just preaching what
you think God is saying, you are a chosen generation, he made a promise to our forefathers
and he is not slack concerning his promises.
Stop
criticizing the President talking about he owe the black church and the world
an explanation. You’re not voting for
him, all that does it take you back to square one division. I am going to go as far as to say God chose
this man for His purpose. Just like God made you different because you are a symphony, he set somebody next
to you so you could see somebody different in order for you to see his power greater.
Cain and Able, Joshua and Caleb, Esau and Jacob, contrast, total contrast so
that God might be glorified, Moses and Aaron, President Barack Obama and Dr.
Martin Luther King they were all in agreement but the others were contrast
never the less they all were(are) the will of God. ..besides its the letter
that killeth but the spirit giveth life
we are no longer under the law because of Jesus.... stop trying to make
everyone like you.....roll over on your knees and stand in the Gap. Intercession is about birthing, and you're God's specialist, Or Are You?
Let me remind those of us who are Christians
that when the spirit of the Lord came in the upper room they were all on one
accord and that begin the birthing of a new nation. It is the prince of the air (satan) whose lot
is to infiltrate, divide and conqueror rather it is in government, your family,
your relationships or from yourself, did you know the devil could divide you
from yourself and as long as we don't exercise the power that is given to us he
will gain every time. This requires faith and if you exercise your faith
faithfully you can turn what looks like defeat into a testimony for your life’s
Kingdom which should be lived in the Kingdom of God.
God choose and uses plain old ordinary people read their views and continue reading to get clarity on ordinary people.
Ordinary peoples views:
Sue B makes an excellent argument as to why there might be an

My reply to Daystar “Christian” Television’s responsive rant and
misrepresentation of President Obama’s position is an appropriate reply to
Pastor Bryant.
Greetings to you,
I appreciate your response. Thank you. Now, with all due respect,
allow me to correct you. President Obama, (Daystar does know President Obama is
our President, what is with the “Obama”?) explicitly stated that marriage is a
state issue. Acknowledging the conflict between religious beliefs and equal
treatment in this instance, President Obama said that he would not interfere
with religious institutions or what those institutions chose to do with respect
to marriage equality. The fact is that Marcus grossly misrepresented, giving
him the benefit of the doubt, or he lied about our President’s position.
President Obama never said anything about “legalizing gay marriage”. Marcus’s
statement is the type of false communication that divides Christians and makes
people who are rightfully sensitive to racism suspect of improper, un Godly,
motives. A person or entity that refuses to correct a misrepresentation or lie
is not worthy of the public trust or the privilege of a public forum.
As a committed Christian, I am aware of what Scripture says about
homosexuality. I am also aware of what it says about adultery, fornication,
lying and judgment; all are “contrary to the Bible.” Moreover, I am aware that
the scripture says to “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of
the poor and the oppressed.” -Psalm 82:3 I could go on about what the Holy
inspired word of God says about the poor but you get the message. Despite an
obstructionist Republican Congress whose enunciated goal is to make this
Administration fail, President Obama has held fast to scripture and not
waivered from his commitments.
“The next step is he and his team pushing states to get it legalized.”
Respectfully, neither our President nor his team has the authority to push
states to do anything as evidenced by the outcome of the recent North Carolina
vote. Marriage is a state issue and our President and his team have no
authority to influence states. My authority is the 10th Amendment and Supremacy
Clause of the United States Constitution. Where is the credible authority for
your statement?
Regarding your assertion “Whether Obama said I endorse same-sex
marriage or pushes to legalize it under the table; it is an ungodly union — it
is the same thing.” Again I respectfully disagree. It is not the same thing.
The first part of your statement is a misrepresentation or a lie and you
present no evidence to support for latter part. We agree that it
[homosexuality] is an ungodly union. Adultery and fornication are also unGodly
unions. Surely you Know an adulator or fornicator who God has forgiven?
Let’s agree to disagree over our President’s “flip flops”. Evolution
of position based on additional knowledge, information or soul searching is
positive, not negative. I am fairly certain that most Christians would agree
that evolution of thought and changes of heart are positive. Isn’t that
precisely how sinners come to Christ? Thank God America evolved from “[The
negro] has no rights which the white man is bound to respect.” Justice Roger B.
Taney, Dred Scott v. Sandford, (1857). How different our society could have
been if our revered founders adhered to the Bible as God’s benchmark, not
“color, race, political agenda,” when they memorialized in our founding
document that Black people were fractional human beings.
Yes, I am familiar with scripture. I’ve read and understand the
passage about “someone who causes someone to stumble”. A truthful answer to a
direct question will not cause anyone to stumble; the homosexual population
will not increase because of our President’s personal opinion. I am also aware
that God’s benchmark is the Bible. As you are aware, every President swears to
“preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”, not the
Bible. That includes the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, “[No
State] shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of
the laws.” Again, the choice of our revered founders.
?As for President Obama being the only sitting President who “EVER
endorsed homosexual activity”, you know that is a falsehood. President Obama
endorsed equal treatment under the law; no more, no less. He is the only
sitting President who has honored his oath to “preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States”. Courageous, wouldn’t you say
“What does asking Daystar, “… if we have discussed health care have to
do with Obama endorsing that which is contrary the Bible?” Glad you asked that
question; like homosexuality, it is a moral issue. Daystar professes that it is
speaking out because homosexuality is a moral issue, why the silence on health
care reform? Life is life; born lives and unborn lives. Roe v. Wade became the
law of the land in 1973, President Obama took office in 2009. How rational is
it to pin “millions of unborn babies are slaughtered every day” on President
Obama?
It is ironic that the same people who promote the unborn are silent or
actively oppose health care laws and policies which preserve the lives of the
born. Protect them until they crown then throw a telethon and beg for cash to
buy wheelchairs and crutches if they are born with a handicap? Go figure.
As for how our tax dollars are spent, we agree with you 100%. I am
appalled by my tax dollars being used to invade a sovereign nation with no ties
to 9/11, no WMDs and no threat to America. I am appalled that my government
uses my tax dollars to subsidize oil companies and give tax incentives to
companies that lay off American workers and outsource American jobs. I cry when
I think of the 4,500 plus American lives lost, the tens of thousands maimed and
the countless number of innocent Iraqis killed or maimed for political gain.
God help us!
Another point of agreement is “spending billions of dollars we do not
have.” It is undisputable that the Bush Recession/Depression put our country in
dire economic straits. Squandering the Clintion surpluses, tax cuts to the
wealthy and unGody, unnecessary, war took a toll on our economy. Fact is, the
same people are still arguing that the tax cuts that were in effect during the
Bush Recession/Depression when our economy lost 800,000 jobs per month promote
economic growth, create jobs and stimulate the economy. Silly, isn’t it?
FYI Adulterous, fornicating, lying and/or homosexual preachers,
ministers, missionaries, evangelists, television hosts and those who turn a
blind eye to their unGodly behavior “knowing, willingly and openly endorse
sin.” “All unrighteousness is sin.” “A horrible tragedy and sending people to
hell … .” Thank God for the Blood of Jesus!
“The Lambs have given over $50 million dollars to needy and hurting
people around the world … ” Well paise God, because many of those dollars came
from needy and hurting people who support Daystar. “I feel that answers all
questions regarding caring about needy people.” I do not share your feeling.
Neither the Lambs nor Daystar has addressed the needless suffering and loss of
life related to lack of access to basic preventive health care and life saving
treatments.
Like you, I reply in love. Therefore, I do not address your accusations
of “socialism,” … or against “those who don’t work, illegal immigrants and a
lot of other folks, … or [homosexuals] spreading disease, stealing lives from
healthy adulthood and a future from kids who are being sold into sex slavery
here and abroad … .” As mean spirited and un-Christ like as your statements
sound, even Christians have off days. Surely you do not attribute all these
societal ills to President Obama, people who don’t work e.g., the unemployed,
illegal immigrants or homosexuals? Aren’t socialists, the unemployed and
illegal immigrants included in God’s call for Daystar “to present the Gospel to
all Nation?” Aren’t they God’s children also?
“We [Daystar] almost never make political statements, but when we do,
it is our right and privilege to do so.” Not quite true. If Daystar pays taxes,
have at it. If not, it has neither right nor privilege.
Do I support homosexuality? Absolutely not, I do not support adultery,
fornication, lying, misrepresentation, either. “Are you standing up for same-sex
marriage?” No, I do not. Nonetheless, I do stand for equal treatment for all.
“Are you standing up for Obama?” Absolutely, proudly and unequivocally!

We as a “people” only
account for 17+/- % of the population of the United States of America, and most
of what I am hearing and reading is that the “our” President had turned a blind
eye and a deaf ear to our needs…???? What is wrong with our people!!! I ask our
people of colour
to stop looking for a savior
to hang your hat of courage on. Such request should be given to
GOD not our President. He is
fighting for the equality of our country not a select few. He job of fixing the
problems of not just the last eight years but for the last 16 plus years.
Withhold your vote? Who will you hurt more, Our President or Our Country?
Many Blessings

I think God and his son
Jesus loves all of us. How do we know this is not God orchestrating and
creating dialogue, forcing us to think about him and his word(s), like he
normally does. I think this is God’s GOTCHA…… And we are playing right into his
hand. We all know about the ministers, priests, choir directors, deacons, etc.
but, we still go to church and praise HIM not Obama. i will be voting for the
President, God has placed him here for a reason to move us FORWARD…

All of us need prayer,
instead of criticizing our President for making a decision that was hard to do,
we should be Praying for him. Pastor Bryant should be advising his flock to be
in Prayer for the President, as well as our Nation.
Although, I do not agree
with the President’s decision, I understand that someone has to do it. I would
rather it be him, than anyone else. If we all play our positions, to the best
that we can than we would not live to rip and tear each other down. We could
live out the word of God as it instructs us to do.
God chooses Ordinary people....there are no
third class citizens in the body of Christ
We were not always holy......When you pray
for someone ask the Lord to do a permanent thing in them so they will never go
that way again which leads to destruction or wrong decision making in their
life.
A
sinner will come where they know they can receive love you have to love them
through what they are going through no matter what it is, God changes the heart
of a man and when they aren’t ready to accept the change you intercede until
God says stop or the heart is renewed to follow after Him. Remember you were
not always Holy once your heart has been cleaned up you are obligated to go back
and tell others what God has done for you.
Your life should not be solely about you,
but about building relationship with Him. It is important to know who to take
your problems to and wait for the answers for they will come to you privately
and then He will make them known publicly.
Never minimize what He has done for your give your all no matter how
small it may seem to you. Some of the
worst times in your life could very well be designed as the best thing that
ever happened to you. Especially during
those stages you think He is not listening to you because of your difficulties,
He has a way of letting you know He doesn't care about your mishaps He just
want to know that you love him more than anything, people may exclude you from
their life but He will transform you from darkness into His marvelous life, just
pray it doesn't always have to be on your knees just move around and speak to
him walk with him in the cool of the day.
I dare you to give your all to Him, remember the song little becomes
much when you place it in the Masters hand.
There’s a birthing of a new relationship
with him inside you and birthing requires pain and maybe some suffering. You
are being unified with Him, people gather together and form a union but when
there is unity within the union it becomes strength and that’s how we can began
to change the face of our children, our ghettos, the war on drugs, and
inordinate policies against the poor and middle class citizens of any country.
We began to implore the supernatural power
of God to saturate every corner of the globe and everyone who is in position to
change will change, marches in the streets are fine to get attention but it
takes the power of God to go in and change the hearts of men through a unified
effort.
There is another phrase in a song that comes
to mind, Jesus you’re like the fragrance after the rain, relationship with
Christ changes your life not going to church and quoting scriptures you don't
hold to heart but a true relationship with Christ who makes intercession for
us, and those we intercede for, some people may be birth in your life for a
life time for you to make intercession to Jesus who in returns intercedes to
his father therefore if your living close enough to Him ; He will tell you what’s
coming before it comes. It may not be
easy but your affliction will be lighter, the devil meant for it to be harder,
but it won't be as hard as it could have been.
You see the fragrance always comes after the rain, you'll never get a
table prepared for you unless its in the wilderness. This is the power of God.
If it’s raining in your life this is not an act of satan it ‘s Gods preparation
for your call in the world, but tomorrow the
sun will shine, with joy we draw waters of the wells of salvation, You don't have to go to the bar and drink yourself
to death or to the dope house, become a drug dealer killing your own people,
all you have to do is try Jesus, you tried everything else and still wake up
empty.You don't ever have to go to Gods house and pretend he is there when he's not. Just remember God uses ordinary people Therefore we must align ourselves with his divine order, that will be
discussed in our next blog.
