Ten Things Every Dad Should Tell His Son
Luke 15:8-10 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
We’ve been sitting with the Father, joining Him in His watch. He’s watching and waiting for His prodigals. His eyes scan the horizon just waiting for the first glimpse of His beloved’s return. We are joining Him and praying. He tells us that our prayers are the force necessary to change the hearts of His children. He’s confident that our prayers will avail – so confident that he’s fattening up some of his livestock to prepare for the pending celebrations. He is full of faith.
So, we continue to pray.
I speak to the minds and wills of prodigals and say, “Reject perverse ideas! Stay away from every evil in the Name of Jesus Christ.”
I command doors to open that would bring godly influences into their lives. I slam shut every door of evil influence in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
I take up the call to ferret out the wicked and free Your child from the grip of evil. I call down the powers of addiction in Jesus’ Mighty Name. You must go now. I bind the spirit of pride and arrogance. You must leave in Jesus’ Name.
I ask You, Father, to remove the film over the eyes of the deceived. I apply the Blood of Jesus to these eyes and cry out for mercy. I cry out for justice. I cry out for repentance and returning. May these beloved prodigals once again believe the good news – the good news that You are loving, forgiving, and just waiting to celebrate their return.
Amen
After I prayed this this morning, I looked back at the tree where the Father was waiting, and He was not there, just a few apple cores and a dove. There is a note simply saying, “Be back tomorrow.” He loves it when we wait with Him.
“Okay, Father. See you then.”
In the distance I could hear someone whistling a tune… “Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling…”

After conceding your sincerity in offering up this prayer, shouldn’t we also pray that the President display common sense and actually decline the award?
Whatever one thinks of President Obama’s intentions — or of his promise — the award is premature. It subjects Obama to ridicule not to mention the silly Norwegians. Consider that the deadline for submitting nominations to the Nobel Committee was February 1st — only 10 days after President Obama took office. What were his ACTUAL accomplishments then (February 1) or now (October 9)? Not much.
The smart thing for Obama would be to save the situation — and save himself from embarassment — by charitably thanking the Nobel Committee for their generous impulse but suggesting that others are more deserving of the award.

Emelie,
My point is not to comment pro or con on worthiness. I’m suggesting that any recognition of any human agent of peace should be wrapped in a prayerful recognition that Jesus alone is the “Prince of Peace” and peace as a real human condition can ONLY come from him… “Apart from me you can do nothing,” he says. Humility is called for no matter who gets this prize…
posted October 9, 2009 at 12:04 pm
The president deserves congratulations on the award and we should pray for our leaders.
Additionally, we are to be subject to our rulers.
Titus 3
Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed, to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men.
We should also pray that our rulers seek God, His wisdom and guidance. This may begin with praying for their salvation, finding a good church to attend, and recognizing God Almighty as his Creator.
Those who know Jesus, recognize His voice and follow Him.
Deuteronomy 13:4 (NASB)
” You shall follow the LORD your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him.
John 10:27 (NASB)
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;

I firmly believe that the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama, after only ELEVEN days in office, carries with it an agenda from those who awarded the prize. What President, after only a little over a WEEK, could/should be eligible for a Nobel?? To say I was shocked, was an understatement. Our so-called “allies” have been treated abysmally by Mr. Obama; perhaps this is some sort of a private joke from the people in Norway – one can only hope so. The way I see it, this will only encourage our President to seek “diplomacy and rhetoric” towards our enemies, including, but not limited, to radical Islam. The world is now going to see how Mr. Obama wlll proceed from here on, in the war in Afghanistan, a second stimulus, government health care, and the missile defense system. I can only HOPE that our President will NOT get a swelled head, and start believing he’s some kind of annointed messiah when it comes to world peace.

I am always thinking I want peace in the world . Will that give me the Nobel Peace prize? After all Im hoping I can bring peace> What about Dr Martin Luther King Jr? Didnt he deserve a Nobel Peace Prze? Why didnt he get one? I think what he did, didnt just serve the US but he made strides for all people of color in the world. Sr King actually DID something. What you hope to do is NOT the same as doing it. Unless you feel that President Obama deservex iy just because the American people voted for a man of color(who by the way is half white)but then its the American people that voted for him should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize!!

This is in answer to Biancaj’s comment regarding Martin Luther King and wondering why he wasn’t awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Dr. Martin Luther King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
As to implying that President Obama only hopes and thinks about peace in the world, well that is just plain silly. Not only has he worked toward it since taking office, but polls of the attitudes toward America since he has been President, taken among industrialized and developing countries show that their opinion of America has gone in some from as low as 10% favorable to 98% favorable. Building a coalition of countries willing to work together toward peace is certainly a major accomplishment.
I find myself deeply saddened by the hateful and negative vitriol I have read and heard on this subject, and to come here to a discussion on prayer for our President and read such negativity is troubling indeed.
The energy being spent on hate and negativity could be spend on energetic prayers for peace and prayers for the President of the United States, who is capable of accomplishing much toward achieving it.

We should also pray that the President realize that many babies will not be here to enjoy that peace if it ever comes, because of his signing the partial birth abortion bill. Everyone must ask themselves if they would fight for or against slavery, holocaust, genocide and/or abortion. Remember that with slavery and concentration camps there were survivors, with genocide and abortion there are no survivors. Where does everyone who reads this stand on those issues and where does the President stand on these issues? Also if you have never watched an abortion take place go to http://www.priestsforlife.org and see one, there are many to chose from. As for those who do not agree with capital punishment, did you know that women are now being asked if they want an injection to kill their baby before it is aborted so they won’t feel the pain? Amazing my letters were jkkkzu kkk everyone knows what kkk stands for I wonder what the letters will be for all who supported abortion. stands for

Dr. Martin Luther King did receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
I am pleased and believe that President Obama received the Nobel Peace prize on time and for more reasons beyond any of us. He has done more and achieved much in a short period of time. It is more than hunger strikes, years of strife etc that makes an individual or group nobel prize winners and I am glad that he received it and deservingly so.

This blog today is purely political and filled with liberal bias…there is no need for any commentary on a site such as this on the awarding of the Nobel prize..especially such a controversial and undeserved award. The reason for the existence of this website is the polar opposite of worldly awards ..especially politically motivated ones such as the Nobel has become. Remember you cannot place your
trust in the Princes of this world the psalms continually remind us.
Yes we pray for our world’s leaders but we do not idolize them. When this President was nominated for this award he had not completed a month in office but he had completed his promise to rescind the Mexico City Policy assuring millions more murders of the un-born, his first act as President of the United States. One wonders “Is
this the mark of a man bent on bringing peace and justice to the world?” Apparently the Norwegian five think so!

Peace can be made from each and every one of us. It’s time to stop the negativity and pray for our Leader, the President to use the wisdom of God our Creator to keep our world whole. We are all sinners, and we have a choice to be either good or evil. Why are some people being so hard on our leaders. The world is full of terrible behavior. We need to stop being anti and be for the good of our country. Let the world see support instead of constant the opposite.

When did this website ever ask for prayers for a specific political
leader before? In general that is acceptable but this is so controversial it
is bound to be divisive. I pray… for the conversion of this President whose ideas/goals I do not perceive as being for the good of the country or the world…he speaks falsely …his actions do NOT match
his rhetoric. I refuse to be labeled by some here as being unforgiving, un-Christian because I wish to see his plans/goals fail
The country is on the wrong path with Obama as leader…thus my prayers are for a change in heart of this socialistic administration.
Obviously others here feel differently. Do you really this this a good blogsubject or appropriate for this website? If this is a trend
I will un-subscribe NOW!

This is the first time I have read the responses/comments posted on this website. The anger and animosity that I feel from several of the posts is disturbing. I’m not saying that we all have to agree with one another; however, we should respect the right of each other to voice his/her opinions. This should not be a “tear down” site, but rather a “building up”. No one is always going to be right! I trust that those that subscribe and read this are believers; if that isn’t the case, let us pray for salvation and revival. To God be the Glory!

It’s amazing to me the number of devils out there that truly believe they are Christians. God is a God of love and peace, yet so many of you have hate in your hearts.
Those of you who think with your devil hearts that you will meet our savior are lacking all of our Father’s goodness and mercy.
Remember we all have to die. You have to justify how you have lived to him.

This prize is a political warm fuzzy for a new President who happens to be more for peace than war. I think he has his work cut out for the country. He is different than what we’ve ever had, but certainly a smart man. Remember though that “we the People” are supposed to come together and legislate ourselves. It is that power that is our responsibility to empower. It is important that all of our voices be heard. I hope that the present administration can get us through this present mess we find ourselves.

Adele, I could not agree with you more that we are not to idolize world leaders. If you will read carefully – between the lines – of my post I believe you will see that here. I am NOT making a comment one way or the other on the validity of the award. I am simply saying that NO human can be a true prince of peace. Only God brings it. We can acknowledge the award and then move on to the real truth – that we need to pray for peace because God alone, not a panel in Europe or a mortal man in the White House can deliver…

Now we have a man who is willing to sit down and talk peace! That is what Jesus would do. There are so many that hate him for the color of his skin, but it only shows the ignorance, for they hated Jesus as well and he was dark complected. We need to pray for our world and all mankind.

First a degree of intellectual honesty is required in a proper prayer and not the spin of politics.
The Nobel awarded for things undone is a travesty to those who recieved the honor legitimately through hard work and accomplishments.
Perhaps a nobel wish list is what the award should be?
Pray then if you must for forgiveness of a politician who’s first act in office was more pro abortion. If you are a Christian pray for the right and safety of the unborn and not be impressed by the ego and undeserved award that the politics of the Nobel prize has given.

If he who is among you is without sin, please cast the first stone. Most of you sinners are casting stone and it clearly states that you should be ‘sin free.’ Now this is why several people are moving away from Christianity because they can be devils without a title or a boss. Leave the President alone, he has too much to deal with. He is doing a great job. You forgot who to praise God or Satan. Satan already ruled the last 8 years.

Those in society who can’t seem to embrace the idea or the brilliance and integrity and compassion that this man exhibits, need to simply exit stage right! Get over it! Obama is God-appointed and he will not be going anywhere soon…not until the purpose o God has been completed.The world is counting on you President Obama, but most o all….God is counting on you!
