This pastor needs prayer... He is wrong...

[elijahruth]

I do nOT like the current administration, but this pastor is nOT doing God's will right now. He is supposed to be praying for Obama yes, but nOT for his death and hell. He is supposed to be praying that God gets a hold of his heart.
This man is making anyone else serving the Lord and conservative look bad. He lost his testimony in my eyes. It does nOT show his whole sermon though. Maybe something taken out of context? To much hate. There is enough in this world without it getting to us.....

The following has been cut and pasted from FOX NEWS today:



A Phoenix-area pastor has started to draw prOTesters to his congregation after he delivered a sermon titled, "Why I Hate Barack Obama," and told his parishioners that he prays for President Obama's death.

Pastor Steven Anderson stood by his sermon in an interview with MyFOXPhoenix, which reports that the pastor continues to encourage his parishioners to join him in praying for the president's death.

"I hope that God strikes Barack Obama with brain cancer so he can die like Ted Kennedy and I hope it happens today," he told MyFOXPhoenix on Sunday. He called his message "spiritual warfare" and said he does nOT condone killing.

But a small crowd of prOTesters gathered around his church Sunday, calling Anderson's words "incomprehensible." And MyFOXPhoenix reported that the sermon, which has drawn widespread attention, led to death threats against the pastor.

Anderson's inflammatory message stems in part from Obama's abortion-rights stance.

In Anderson's controversial sermon, delivered at his Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe before Obama arrived for a speech in Phoenix earlier in the month, the pastor said he wants the president to "melt like a snail" with salt on it.

"I'm gonna pray that he dies and goes to hell when I go to bed tonight. That's what I'm gonna pray," he told his congregation.

The last time fierce opposition to Obama's abortion position drew widespread attention was when Obama delivered the commencement address at the University of NOTre Dame.

The Anderson sermon also drew concern after it was reported that one man carrying an assault rifle outside the Phoenix arena where Obama spoke was a member of Anderson's church.

I've been trying to get on this pastors repentance blacklist for years now. I guess I am nOT big enough yet to get on the list.

He may nOT be praying for our president, but I am.

Yes, very wrong preaching.

We can pray the Lord would keep the wicked from carrying out their wicked plans. We can pray the Lord would remove the wicked from office and replace them with godly men.

However, we should never pray for the death of anOTher. Even while praying the Lord would bind the wicked from carrying on their wickedness, we are to pray the Lord would soften their hearts and draw them to Christ.

Vengence is mine saith the Lord.

Remember what Jesus said to the Sons of Thunder when they wanted to call down judgement from the heavens?

Anyone who advocates hate is nOT a true Christian. the two greatest commands are to Love God and Love our neighbor. If we have no love for our fellow man, how can we ever accept the love of God?

I only pray for Obama's salvation! This-- for me-- includes for his family also. Can you picture how fantastic it would be if Obama was saved while in office?? Now that's a prayer I can pray for!!
