Our Country Needs CHRISTIAN prayer!

Fwd:
Prayer for our country is so needed.


In 1952 President Truman established one day a year as a "National Day of Prayer."
In 1988 President Reagan designated the first Thursday in May of each year as the National Day of Prayer.
In June 2007 (then) Presidential Candidate Barack Obama declared that the USA "was no longer a Christian nation."
This year, 2010, President Obama canceled the 21st annual National Day of Prayer ceremony at the White House under the ruse of "not wanting to offend anyone".
BUT... on September 25, 2009 from 4 AM until 7 PM, a National Day of Prayer FOR THE MUSLIM RELIGION was Held on Capitol Hill, beside the White House. There were over 50,000 Muslims in D.C. that day. HE PRAYS WITH THE MUSLIMS! I guess it doesn't matter if "Christians" are offended by this event - we obviously don't count as "anyone" anymore.
The direction this country is headed should strike FEAR in the heart of every Christian, especially knowing that the Muslim religion believes that if Christians cannot be converted, they should be annihilated. This is not a Rumor – Go to the website to confirm this info:
http://www.islamoncapitolhill.com/ 


Pay particular attention to the very bottom of the page: "OUR TIME HAS COME"
I hope that this information will stir your spirit.


The words of 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, who are called by my Name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."


We must pray for our nation, our communities, our families, and especially our children. They are the ones who are going to suffer the most. Praise God that He is still in control, but we must do our part. Read your Bible every day, pray, seek God’s wisdom and will and share the Gospel.
