God Talking President Obama Election

Today's word is a link to a Kim Clement program on the Inauguration of President Barak Obama. This was taped before the Inauguration, and is available for viewing in its entirety at Kim Clement TV .

A brief excerpt from the program.

• Two years ago, Kim heard from God that people would begin to say "this has never happened before. Specifically in 2009."
• Its gonna seem like the economy of the US will be like the recent plane crash into the Hudson. God is showing us, by the example of the plane crash, that we are going to survive. The country will make it through the current economic situation and no one will be hurt. And in an interview with one of the survivors of the plane crash, the words "it has never happened before, going up in an aircraft and expecting to survive the crash"
  
• Have an attitude of gratitude. God has shown us, in advance, that there is NO RECESSION.
  
• Another one of the things that have never happened before is the African American President. Watch God take a man who is pliable and apt to change and steer the crisis. There is a death happening -- a death of debt!!
  

Watch the full program and be encouraged as God is talking to Kim Clement and others about the path God has for the United States of America.

Inauguration 2009 - Pray That God Talks to the President

As we have just watched history unfold with the swearing in of the 44th President of the United States, this article sums up our prayers -- that God talks to the new President in all his decision making for the future of the United States. Here's the article:

"…this moment—unprecedented in our nation's history—goes far above personal views…"

All through last year's Presidential campaign—on both sides of the spectrum—feelings ran deep. And I daresay those passionate opinions have not abated much as President-elect Obama's Inauguration approaches.

But, as I watched Obama's speech this weekend, with the backdrop of the Lincoln Memorial, it struck me that this moment—unprecedented in our nation's history—goes so far above personal views… (Photo: CBN News)

For me, and hopefully for many, the event of Barack Obama's Presidential Inauguration transcends political party and leaning… it is about healing. And the days after it; about prayer.

I realize, being white, that I cannot fully grasp the extraordinarily historical moment—when Obama is sworn in as the first black President of the United States—as one of my black fellow-citizens will. Nor will I experience, to that extent, the incredible achievement they must feel in their hearts.

But its significance is not lost on me. Whether or not I voted for President-elect Obama is not the issue, because the attitude at which this country has finally arrived, in being willing to elect a black man to its highest office, has been far too long in coming. It makes me feel very grateful to my parents for raising me with a true respect for all people regardless of color, religion or nationality, which is just Biblical common sense!

And so I ask, both those who voted for Obama and those who didn't, can we—if just for a day—lay down the political debate? Can we look beyond the labels of Republican, Democrat or Independent? Can we be joyful that America, on its highest level, is at long last breaking through an ugly barrier of ignorance and hate, and much like the day those cold cement chunks of wall fell in Berlin; hands kept apart are now joining together?

I hope each one of us, regardless of political persuasion, will pray for the continued protection of this man who has not let the prejudices of some keep him from pressing on to fulfill this calling in which he believes. Let's pray for protection for him and for his family.

As Christians, we are called to pray for those in office—no matter who they are. So let us pray in the days ahead for God's direction for this new President, as he leads this country we so love.
