What a President Cannot Do

Question for Senators McCain and Obama:

"What needs to be done in America that the President of the United States cannot do?"

You are repeatedly asked to tell voters what changes you will make and what polices you will follow. But, there are important challenges facing our nation and world that are beyond the powers of the president. What can't you do that you believe should happen?

Perplexed,

I am with you!

""What needs to be done in America that the President of the United States cannot do?"


How about no more prayers in the Senate, the Supreme Court, or swearing on any holy book to uphold the Constitution. You want to swear on anything, swear on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

You obviously have been brain washed by a man made bible and are consumed with this garbage.
If Jesus saves, why are so many good people dying?
And why should a sinner be forgiven? Should we forgive Osama Bin Laden? Are people that don't believe in Jesus going to hell and what craziness makes one even believe in heaven and hell?

You people scare me. Instead of preaching, go out in the world and do something good. Take people off the streets, feed the hungry, help the poor and don't dictate how each of us should live as long as we follow the ten comandments.

In the quiet place I will meet you

Dream, dream you will have your dream of who I am! You will hear My voice speak to you of Christ. You will know that if you call out to Me I will send you the answer. I will show you the Messiah. Do you believe this with all your heart? Do you see Christ the way He ought to be seen? For I tell you now the lenses that have blinded so many are clearing, the lenses are clearing. For in this hour I say to you dream, see Me come to you in your thoughts where you are at your most quiet moment. Ask, ask, ask Me. I will show you who Jesus is, I will prove Him to you so that there will be no more doubt in your mind.

Awaken bride of Christ place yourself in high esteem for the bride of Christ must be ready. The day is here where you must realize you are pure and spotless a radiant glory in the eyes of Christ.

Open the door of your heart, open up for Me to come in, I will fill you to the brim overflowing until your joy is full. Peace from God, redemption at the cross, and victory in the resurrection! For in this hour the full armor of God is stronger than it will ever be because My people are praying earnestly for this election! They are seeing with eyes of hope, they are seeing with vision and success. They are rebuilding the tabernacle of David all over the globe.

In the quiet place I will meet you, be still and know that I am God, hold one another up in spirit and in love, for I am love. I will love at all costs, I will bring you to the place where you will say, are you for real, do you mean what you say, are you coming back again? The day of opportunity is here, Joplin the visitation of divine appointment is invading your homes your hospitals your businesses and in this hour of appointment, walk out of the old and come into the new. Miracles are just beginning, healings are happening, those who you thought were dead will awaken!

In the quite place you will know Me and when you come after Me I will begin to show you My love. I will share with you My heart and you will feel the peace which surpasses all understanding. The days are numbered and now is the time! The hour is now and the future shares life in Christ in such a way will cause you say, I have had a visitation, I have had the dream, I have seen the Messiah. Come and let us love one another for God is love.

This will affect your relationships, your families, your life, but if you love Me enough as I have loved you, the price that you will pay for being a servant of the Most High will cost you everything, receive My eternal life and My eternal glory.

For the season that has come upon you is a falling out of old traditions and into the spirit of climbing to a higher elevation with Me. You will know I am pushing you to the edge for more risk in your relationship. I am pushing you to the limits where you will say, limitless, no limits! Paul did this before, Peter did this before, they followed Christ. I will open your eyes see the impossible and do the unexpected, for this is your turning point the day where change happens! The fall has come and the wind is blowing you in the direction that leads to Christ! You will know Him, you will feel His presence, dream and see, dream and see, says the Lord.

I'm sure my religion and Mr. Anderson's are *very* different, and based on this very short little article, I'm sure Mr. Anderson is someone I'd like to know. The question he poses is one that needs to be asked and answered right out in public, and often. There will be many interesting answers, I'm sure.
