Received this in an e-mail today. Thought it worth sharing in regard to
any situation that concerns us.

October, 2008

Rev. Charles Stanley Speaking Out.

I was very dismayed when, recently, a member of my Church said to me with great resignation that she was afraid Obama will take the presidency. These words came from someone that in the past has been a great prayer warrior. What is happening was my question??? Wh y are we Christians settling for the loss of our Christian heritage, not issuing a battle cry and falling to our knees and taking our country back? We allow ourselves to be stripped of the right to pray at school functions and in school, we have the Ten Commandments removed from government places and are told we cannot pray publicly or proclaim Christian principles, all the while providing public prayer places for Muslims. We allow Muslim mosques to operate in America funded by Saudi Arabia , and proclaim anti-American, anti-Christian threats and terrorism.

What in the world is going on and why are we being so apathetic? Why aren't we praying? Our God is an Almighty God who is waiting patiently for us to raise our voices to heaven to stop the tide of the anti-Christian actions in our world today. Now we have a charismatic, albeit inexperienced, candidate for president that does not respect our flag and refuses to wear on e on his lapel except when it becomes politically expedient, and whose own wife and pastor that he loves profess to have strong anti-white feelings, and we sit back and say 'it is a given, we can do nothing???' There has never been a time in 2000 years that we can do nothing, never a time that we must sit back and allow the evil in men's and women's hearts to take over our world! We should be afraid, very afraid because our apathy is leading us to perdition.

It is time for all Christian Americans to raise the battle cry and take our nation back! Maybe McCain on his own cannot defeat Obama, but our God can and He will if we take to our knees in prayer and raise a mighty cry to the heavens to 'Save us O Lord'. We have God's promises in 2 Chronicles 7:14, 'If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.' We have the power to change the course of this election and to keep a man as suspect as Barak Obama from leading our country to who knows where with his message of 'change'; a change which I fear will be away from our Christian ideals, and away from Christ, and further away from one nation under God to one nation under Allah.

We are great at passing stories and pictures around the Internet but where are our prayers and prayer warriors praying to stop this tide of Barak Obama? God parted the Red Sea,
Jesus was raised from the dead, and we can bring our country back to its Christian roots and stop the undermining of our country by Muslims. We can stop our country from being 'under Allah' but we must begin to pray, to pray as our country and our lives depended on it because they do.

We can stop all these atrocities against God's commands that have taken root in our country through something as simple as sincere prayer, a call to God to deliver us, to forgive us our sins of apathy and to protect us from the evil that is upon us.

Okay prayer warriors, here is your challenge, start those prayer chains. Get the spiritual power working on our behalf and stop Barak Obama the proper way, by calling on our God to save us from the deception that charismatic preaching is using to lead us on the wrong path. Stop those who would take God out of our country and our government. Raise up good men to lead us and protect us. George Bush is being buffeted because he has fought a holy war against the evils that attack us ... and we should not be surprised because a prophet is not honored in his own country. But we should not rest on our laurels and allow ourselves to be taken further off the path of Christianity and to have God removed from our presence in our schools, courts, government and businesses. Invite God into the fray. Ask that His power rest upon us and give us the victory . Ask him to raise up a mighty army to defend us and to protect our country as he did in days of old. Let us be victorious beginning NOW. The battle is His but we must call on Him without ceasing and unite our voices and hearts in prayer and fasting.

Please pass this around to all people of prayer that you know and maybe, just maybe, a more eloquent person of prayer will write something better and more inspiring and even the rocks will shout that Jesus is Lord and our Mighty God is with us and bringing the victory for us and ultimately for Him. AMEN!

As a result of the e-mail about Charles Stanley speaking out on prayer, our eldest daughter sent this out to our church family as one of the prayer cordinators: Oh, that each of us could be sensitive to the Holy Ghost and to be convicted by the Spirit of God as were our elders who would become so sensitive to the Holy Ghost that they would forget to eat at times. Whether it was for healing, salvation or whatever the need might be, they would pray UNTIL something happened. Until the victory came.


A CALL TO PRAYER ..........COME ONE AND COME ALL ............ :

Okay everyone .... it has been a while since we have activated our "'Call To Prayer" email prayer chain. I just received an email from someone and it convicted me deeply.............we are at such a crucial time in the history of our nation .......... if we have ever needed a prayer chain going, we need one RIGHT NOW! We are the people of God ............ we KNOW the power of prayer and we are assured that "WE KNOW A GOD" who is able to do exceeding abundantly above what we can ask or think. And don't you forget for a moment ........ HE knows exactly what is going on; but just maybe, just maybe ............ HE WANTS TO HEAR US CALL UPON HIS NAME LIKE NEVER BEFORE! "If my people, which are called by my name will humble themselves and pray ... seek my face ... turn from their wicked ways ..." This is not a concern just about ourselves, it is a concern for our children and our future grandchildren, our families ................... it is a desperate time! When we are desperate, we take desperate measures! Let us please be in prayer today, let us intercede on behalf of our nation and on behalf of our families and our children. I have a feeling ..... if we don't pray now, we will definitely be praying later............If we do our part by calling upon the Name of the Lord .......... and that is all we can do ........... then we can be at peace and put everything in the Lord's Hands; knowing that HE is full able to take care of everything ............. Regardless of any outcome..... GOD is still GOD and GOD is still in Control! We do not need to FEAR, but we do need to PRAY! Battles are won on our knees! And not only that ...........but by praying, we will have the peace of God in our hearts and minds! HE IS AN AWESOME GOD and He does Awesome things! He is still our "Shepherd" and we do not have to "want" for anything ............ HE is our total provision. YES, it is time to PRAY like never before ........... We had a Wednesday night Bible Study just a few weeks ago when Pastor read the moving article about the need of and the lack of "Prayer" ...... OH GOD, I repent today and I humble myself under Your mighty Hand ..... give me a burden and a desire for "PRAYER" like I have never had before ......... Church family, precious brothers and sisters ...............LET US PRAY!
THIS IS A CALL TO PRAYER ....... come one and come all ........... in Jesus Name! Are our children worth it? Are our families worth it? Are souls in -----worth it? Is our GOD worth it? I SAY A RESOUNDING YES, YES, YES..........I will say YES, Lord!

And if this is Charles Stanley of In Touch Ministries right here in Atlanta GA, what proof do you have that HE himself wrote this email? Did he post it on his Pastors blog? Did he give this out in a sunday morning bulletin? I would like to see the link to this actual email thanks.

Charles Stanley Speaking Out- Fiction!


Summary of the eRumor:
A pro-McCain Email claiming to be from Dr. Charles Stanley of In Touch Ministries about the loss of Christian heritage in the United States and asking prayer warriors to start prayer chains petitioning God for the election of Presidential Candidate John McCain.

The Truth:
A representative for In Touch Ministries, based in Atlanta, Georgia told truthorfiction.com that this was falsely attributed to Dr. Charles Stanley and that he is not the author of this email.

There is also a Reverend Charles Stanley, who is a retired pastor from Hertford, North Carolina. After the 9/11 attack Reverend Stanley wrote an open letter to terrorists which had mass circulation on the internet and was mistakenly attributed to the In Touch radio-television teacher from Georgia. Reverend Stanley told truthorfiction.com that he is not the author of this email. Click here for our findings on his open letter.

The author of this email remains a mystery.

I was unaware that God wanted us to rise up against Barak Obama.

I thought "we wrestle not against flesh and blood"....really meant that.

I will pray....but I will be praying that God blesses our president and his family....I will pray that God grants him favor with the right people and direct his steps....I will be praying that God will grant him grace and give him divine direction during these troubled times….I will be praying that God helps him become the greatest president ever.

When our children became young adults and were dating young men and women that
would perhaps become their spouses, I never let it show whether I approved or other,
because I wanted them to make their choice. But I prayed diligently for them that GOD
would give them wisdom and divine direction. When they announced their engagement
and had made their choice, I purposed in my heart I would love them as my own children.
Never wanted them to feel pressure that we wanted them to marry this one
or that one. But once they married we accepted them as our own children. Their choice
may not have been the one we would have chosen, but we disregarded that thinking once
they chose. We have supported them in their choices and loved them as our own. All six
are married to their original spouses. The youngest has been married 12 yrs. Others,15 yrs,
17 yrs., 19 yrs., 20 yrs.,and the eldest will be married 27 yrs. Feb.5th. We will be married
50 yrs. July 2009. God faithfully keeps that which we commit to Him, whatever the situation.

Regardless of who we voted for, we have a President-elect. We prayed that God's Will
would be done. We will pray for those that are being placed in the leadership of our
nation. Yes. may God bless our leaders, in Jesus Name!
America, God has blessed us. Can we bless Him!:friend

I watched a sermon from a local pastor on TV last night. His sermon last Sunday morning covered exactly what your post suggests.

It's Biblical and what God expects of every Christian as I understand the Word.
