I think that many of you preacher types are disconnected from reality. When I was a computer technician for LexisNexis I got laid off. When I went to find work I found myself competing with technicians from India here on specialized work Visas. I then did some research...the Government was issuing these work Visas to various corporations like they were CANDY just so they could hire cheap foreign labor...at the expense of AMERICAN FAMILIES. That's the only REAL American VALUES the Republican party lives by...the value of the almighty dollar. My family got washed out and just when we get back on our feet the gas prices skyrocket and the housing market tanks and we're gouged to death. That's food out of the mouths of my children pal. And as far as I'm concerned those who are colluding with corporate power (ON BOTH SIDES) are going to pay for every second of fear and agony our families have endured....along with the idiotic preachers who tell us to vote for those extortionists. They blame the housing problem are CRA....but what these idiots don't tell you is that most of these ARMs that went sour...DON'T QUALIFY under CRA! In addition the CRA doesn't demand ARMs, ARMs were just a tool divised by various lenders in effort to fulfill some of the CRA's requirements, then when they saw how easy it was to lend, lend, lend and make profit off the interest, they over extended by lending to those who couldn't pay. They were AFTER MONEY honey. And guess what...the Bible calls that USURY, and it's a sin!
I got news for you...darkness is coming to America. But it isn't the Democrats who will bring it...nor is it the Republicans. The real problem is that darkness is overwelming our land because the church has become the political lap dog of an earthly political establishment, just like the Catholic church of old! And it's all the political nutcase preachers who are doing it to us. Scaring us into voting the way the pulpit wants us too...news flash...church is BUSINESS. And guess what party panders to BUSINESS? It's not rocket science folks. The church is in bed working up a sweat with the Republican harlot. America is doomed as long as the church is in bed with the system.
Perhaps real Christians would either back out of politics and EVANGELIZE or just allow Christians to vote their concience and focus on EVANGELISM. Either way...the key to fighting the darkness is to spread the light...not elect John McCain!
How's that for a prophetic word?
Amen!!! But I still wouldn't vote for Obama though(or McCain). The Democratics and Republicans are all part of the same ballteam just like WWF wrestling. Obama and McCain are buddies behind the scenes. There probably high fiveing each other as they laugh at our stupidity and ignorance.
I second what Antipas said. He's the real prophet, imo.
Imo, the blues and the reds are rotten to the core. I'm sure glad God is sovereign. He's the only hope of the world.

Yes he is, but he also allowed Israel to have a king when that was not his will or intention. It is a partnership, God has a will, man has a will, inspite of Man's will, God still prevails.

What a bunch of self righteous, disrespectful, and judgmental HOOEY! That's not a prophetic word, that's sour grapes! Sorry about your lay off, sorry about your financial circumstances, sorry about your luck. But coming from a preacher-type I take exception to your characterization that we are out of touch with reality or that our politics are motivated purely because of greed. I am a preacher who works two jobs, my wife works a full time job and we know what reality is thank you.
And as far as preaching politics from the pulpit, I don't do it. I preached Sunday "Election Day" preaching that THE Election Day is coming when Christ returns. He's not voting for the GOP or the Dems, His vote is for the Church! We are His elect. We need to cast our vote for Him with the way we live our daily lives. I tell our people to pray and vote their conscience and then go on serving Jesus. Because in the end we are citizens of His Kingdom.
Spiritual darkness is coming not because the "church is the lapdog" of any party. Its coming because His Word said it would before Jesus returns. Its coming because the forces of darkness want to destroy the Church and Israel. But I digress, you already have all this endtime stuff figured out, don't you?
I pray for your pastor, if you have one.

You might say you consider both extremes evil, but that comes across like just lip service. You seem to bash the "right wing" frequently around here, but never the left wing. In fact, you've never even used the term "left wing" once in any of your posts on AFF up to this point.
So you may say you favor centrism, but from your own words here on AFF, your political stance could hardly be considered as being truly "centrist".
The right wing is in power friend. The left isn't. That means those in power are to be called on regarding their abuses. You'd ignore the right wing to bash the left wing....when the left wing isn't even driving. lol
I assure you, if the left takes control, you'll hear plenty of criticism from me when they go extreme.
I wouldn't have expected anything different.
