When I lived in Slovakia, serving with Campus Crusade for Christ, we knew reching out to students that we were on the front lines of spiritual battle as we sought to reach out to university students to win their souls from the grasp of the evil one, and bring them to Christ through the gospel. One day, I think I was in my apartment, I heard over the radio and advertisement for a concert coming up for Halloween. It was called ‘Night of the Demons.’ Many theologians and pastors believe the devil was over music in heaven before being cast out as Satan. And Slovakia is a Catholic nation, so they were traces of Biblical themes around the city. The people there are typically quite and reserved. So to have something an event take place called ‘Night of the Demons’ was very shocking and disturbing.
I remember hearing about this advertisement of this concert, and what was going to take place at this debut of godless bands. They were going to have women come out and parade across the stage naked! I remember hearing this ad, and thought, “I’ve got to tell my team so we can pray!” The Lord moved on my heart to pray fervently against this event. The city also had evangelical believers, which when they learned of the event, they too united in prayer against this event, across denominational lines. I notified my team about this, and they too joined in praying.
We knew these two Christian English musicians who were living and ministering in the country, that we had befriended. The Night of the Concert came about, and these two chaps went down to perform, to be a light in the midst of the darkness. They told us about the scene. The stage had been set up, and through the afternoon and evening, the bands arrived by train. But not one person showed up to hear the performance! NOT ONE!!! The bands were very angry that they had spent all this money traveling to this location, and weren’t able to recoup on the cost and make a profit. They were going to hurt the woman who had scheduled and arranged the concert logistically. They came after her, and James and Michael, our British brothers in Christ, grabbed this woman and threw her in their car, and they drove her safely away.
What a testimony to the power of prayer! What a magnificent way for God to show His strength, glory and goodness when His people unite together to pray according to His purpose. How is your prayer life doing today? Do you need some encouragement spending time in prayer with the Lord. Satan doesn’t want us to prayer, and many times our flesh doesn’t want to do it either. But Satan cannot stand against the prayers of the saints. “Stronger is he who is in us than he who is in the world” (1 Jn. 4:4).
14 This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. 1 John 5:14-15

Where's the Birth Certificate?
That's all that needs to be said. All Obama has to do is to simply produce it, along with all his hidden school and medical records. World Net Daily had a good article covering the U.S. soldier who refuses to follow orders to Afghanistan until Mr. Obama proves taht he is legitamately the U.S. president. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=104009
Just think, the man in office right now, making you lose you job, and driving your taxes through the roof, might just be there illegally. Now you don't want that do you? I don't.
