Fischer: Jesus says pray for Obama because he ‘is our enemy’

Fischer: Jesus says pray for Obama because he ‘is our enemy’

The director of issues analysis of the fundamentalist American Family Association (AFA) is instructing his followers that Jesus wants them to pray for President Barack Obama because he is the “enemy.”

During the Monday broadcast of AFA’s Focal Point radio show, Bryan Fischer told a story about a woman who had been praying for 18 years than an abortion clinic in Mississippi would be closed. And thanks to a law that requires abortion doctors to have “admission privileges” at a local hospital, this last clinic in the state could be closing in the coming weeks.

Fischer pointed out that prayer may not make work immediately, but Christians should be persistent.

“One of the reason that I pray for President Obama — and virtually every day pray for him by name — is that Jesus taught us to pray for our enemies and for those that persecute us,” the conservative radio host opined.

"we literally had to hire guards to protect our lives because the people were so hurt and angry with us, were Christian people,"

I'm still giggling my ass off on that one sentence.
