Joseph Farah
Isn't he one of the Village People?
This guy wants every follower of God to “Pray Obama Fails”. What a Christian prayer. Instead of asking for everyone to pray to change his heart to that of what Farah feels should be changed, he is praying for him to fail. What spirit is that? Is that one of the Fruit of the Spirits? “Fruit of the Spirit” is a biblical term that sums up the nine visible attributes of a true Christian:
Galatians 5:22-23, these attributes are: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance
Praying for someone to fail, isn’t a Spirit that God would approve of or even listen to. That prayer is more for a God that is evil, a prayer to what many describe are the attributes of Satan.
Another example that the bible holds is how Jesus welcomed little children and took them up in his arms. In this he reflected the character of his Father, who welcomes all who seek Him in sincerity and simplicity. Again, asking for someone to fail isn’t a simple request.
What really amuses me is the following: Christians are supposed to trust God, that is the bottom line. According to the scriptures He asks to trust Him, to believe in His Word, to obey His commandments as far as we are able and to look forward to a time in the future when He will intervene in human affairs to establish a society which will be governed by just and fair laws, in which nature itself will ultimately be in harmony with its perfect Creator, but it seems like many Christians forget that or ignore it or disregard that.
Most prayers in the scriptures have “if it be thy will”. Now let’s see: HAVE HIM FAIL IF THAT IS YOUR WILL. No, it wouldn’t be His will, it is asking for something negative, a quality that is not part of His Fruit.
Prayers are something that should be aligned with God’s thinking. The first commandment is to love God; the second to love our neighbor. The second is the consequence of the first and must result in practical concern for the welfare of others. Very simple.
1 Timothy 2:1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone
It is a shame that someone would say they are followers of Christ and honestly, sincerely believes that such a statement: PRAY FOR HIM TO FAIL, is something that is remotely close to God’s quality. Not only are you asking for a human being to fail, but that failure will affect a whole nation. How selfish and hypocritical of Joseph Farah. Truly disgusting.
