Herman Cain: God Convinced Me to Run for President

Herman Cain: God Convinced Me to Run for President

Herman Cain said Friday God convinced him to run for president. (AP)

GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain told a crowd of young Republicans Saturday that God convinced him to embark on his bid for president and that he “prayed and prayed and prayed” about it.

Speaking at the Young Republican National Federation in Atlanta ahead of another GOP candidate debate, Cain made no mention of the sexual harassment allegations that have ensconced his campaign in recent weeks, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported. Instead, his comments drew on familiar themes of faith.

“I prayed and prayed and prayed,” the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO said of his decision to run for president. “I’m a man of faith, I had to do a lot of praying for this one, more praying than I’d ever done before in my life. And when I finally realized that it was God saying that this is what I needed to do, I was like Moses: ‘You’ve got the wrong man, Lord. Are you sure?’”

Once the decision was made, Cain said, “I did not look back.”

Delivering one of his oft-repeated statements, he added: “One of the misperceptions that some people have — I know you all don’t have this misperception — is that I am not in this to win it. I am in this to win it! I am not going anywhere!”

Cain’s religion came under closer examination last month as the candidate gained frontrunner status. North Atlanta’s Antioch Baptist Church North, where his family has deep roots, is considered theologically conservative while being politically liberal.

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann has been outspoken in saying God gave her “a sense of assurance” to run for president, drawing scorn from certain media outlets.

    Cain wants more military spending and war. Did God also tell him to kill as many innocent people as he wants to spread the empire and boost profits for military contractors? His bible must have a big red pentagram on it.

      I don’t see any place where God told us to roll over and be taken captive by the heathens anywhere! If we didn‘t have a strong defense that would have happened long ago and you wouldn’t be posting in English, it would German or Russian or maybe even Japanese!

      Well said GaryM,

      This moron, and I choose that word carefully, just does not get it. We live in a world governed by the aggressive use of force. We are either strong and protect our interests, which happens to help the world, or we are weak and then the tyrants rule and everyone suffers. We are not better by birth, but by ideas, they founding ideas that if followed will make us great again. We have a Constitution because we needed a strong defense, and overseas protection of our interests. God does not demand we commit national suicide, he expects us to help our fellow man, and protection from tyranny is one way to do just that!

We need to take care of our country and only go to war if attacked, and then only with Congressional approval. If we continue to do what we have been doing, our economy will crash and then what good are we to anyone??

      I sure hope Cain is saying this just to pander to the right and evangelicals. His timing with everything going on sure is suspect.

      Consider this: Cain was given a heads up by media that the sexual harassment story would be breaking. Many think he did nothing to prepare, they couldn’t be further from the truth. First Cain did a very desperate high risk gamble and did the smoking ad. Cain then did another bizarre ad with the flowers. These were to get people talking about him and generate as much attention as possible. Then he did a nationwide ad blitz on all media outlets figuring that by advertising with Limbaugh, Levine, Hannity, Dick Morris etc that they would go easier on him because he was giving them money. Now he is saying God told him to run, not saying it isn’t so but I sure smell a rat somewhere with this guy.

      The whole God told me to run stuff is just to pander….We do not need a spiritual leader in office, we need a leader who is spiritual in office. Big difference. We get Cain believes in God so he does not need to come tell us God sent him on a mission to be president. Will Cain come out and say God was wrong if and when he does not win? No….

      As for his Church, read the Blaze article over it. It’s Liberal. Jesse Jackson preached there numerous times. Jesse Jackson friend of Rev Wright. Look yourself….Pro Choice is not “conservative”, it’s liberal!

      Even if you are a pacifist Christian believer, such as a Mennonite, such comments as yours shows stupidity, and more than that, that you are not a legitimate commentor on this site. i myself am skeptical when people speak of hearing from God concerning this or that, not because I feel it does or cannot happen, but that it often is not the case. Nevertheless, it does not always follow the person is completely insincere, or not desiring to do what is right, or God’s will. And sometimes the “peace,” or feeling they get can be this confermation. It’s not for me to say whether it is or not. As far as God and war, take a good reading of not only the Old testament, but part of the New. You’ll find Jesus is not exactly the long haired liberal hippy that you may perceive, never having actually properly read the Bible. And if you have read it but don’t believe in it, that’s fine. But don’t pretend to speak on behalf of the Bible then, or make fun of someone who is. Believe it or not my liberal friend, although God is a God of tremendous love and grace, He also is one of justice, wrath, and war. i know the God in your liberal image, and the one you feel the Bible represents is not the latter, but you will find an honest reading of scripture will find God both loving and a God who kills nations who do wrong. Now, if you say, That doesn’t mean men have the right to do it.” Well, OK. But don’t act as if a government does it, or a man advocates it, it’s evil, but if

      @David

      While I do not find Jesus to be a hippy. I most certainly disagree with your biblical view.

      1. How is loving your enemy a call to preemptively kill them?

      2. What does turn the other cheeck mean to you?

      3. What does it mean to pray for those who persecute you? Or was he only talking about verbal persecution.

      4. What would have happened if the early church would have killed Saul(Paul) preemptively?

      5. God defended his theocracy, Isreal, in the OT. The OT is a prophetic “window” through which God showed the world of their need for a Savior (JESUS). In the NT God’s people become all who receive his name. Jesus said that we no longer need to fight against flesh and blood but now we recognize our real foes are spiritual things. Consider this:

      When will we learn that fighting evil with evil is not going to help us. We perpetuate the hate by attacking these people, even when it is justified like it would be today. Jesus aka: “the savior of the world” was the most worthy man to ever be protected by force, but instead he told his disciples not to worry about his defense. Yes, in the end He died, but think of how many more have come to know Him because of that death. How much more so should we live in such a way that our persecutors would see our love for them and turn from their own wicked ways?

He is the only one who outside of the Tea Party base of voters has a serious chance of beating Obama. Anyone who thinks Cain has any chance at all is not living in reality.

      Iraq had already kiledl massive numbers of their own people, and were holding up a front to make the world believe that they had WMD, though they had destroyed most of what they previously did have. Every country, including the Arab countries believed they had WMD. If they had come clean then it all could have been avoided. I seem to remember they were given fair warning.
      The memo about no Arab country has the ability to strike the US must have went to the 911 hijackers spam folder. They obviously didn’t get the message. And they didn’t even need Arab state sponsorship.

      Where out in wacko land did you come up with the military spending and war having to do with a red pentagram on the outside of his Bible? I bet you can’t even recite the 6th commandment regarding this without looking and then you are liable to still get it wrong. In most areas, you will read that commandment as “You will not kill” which is WRONG! The actual commandment is “You will not commit murder” which is a big difference. I hate to tell you but I actually believe that it is a wonderful thing that God does not go on people’s own morals instead of His.

      On the other thing, I like Cain but I do have a problem with this statement. God does NOT “convince” anyone to do anything, He tells them and if they do it they get blessed if they don‘t do it they don’t get blessed. God does not have to convince anyone. I definitely do not see a problem with what Bachmann said, I totally agree the God would give someone “a sense of assurance (or peace) about doing something.

      Comments of the unlearned. Did our Father tell the house of Israel it could never defend its self against those that wish to destroy it? Did our father event fight for the house of Israel as it entered the land of Canaan. Or how about when Sennecherib was soundly defeated by our Fathers angel in one night?

      Those who think that our Father would not fight for his people are not worthy to be called Christians. Those not wiling to stand up for their faith and fight for the right to to keep it are not worthy of it. Telling you that you ought not fight for your Christian faith are the words of Stoic-Sophists not the words of the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Stoic-Sophists use this tactic against women specifically in order to turn them into their servants who are used to eliminate any resistance to Stoic-Sophism. There is no such thing as a peaceful perfect world, until the true Christ returns after the two witnesses are killed by the fake Christ. Thats right I said the two witnesses of our Father are killed by Satan playing the fake jesus (Revelation 11).
      Believing in the stupidity that one should not standup and fight for the Lord God of Israel, will lead millions and even billions to the fake christ when he shortly appears (probably less than 7 years now). They will fall down at his feet an worship him as if he were the true christ because he comes in the name of world peace (Daniel 7).

      goodinohio: You don’t believe in God inspiring someone to run for office, but it must be ok for Satan to tell people to kill one another in this country, EXCEPT SELF-DEFENSE . God ALWAYS used forced in the OT to WIN, and WIN HE DID.So tell me, which side would you rather be on? The one who hasn’t a clue as to whether or not they will win or do the right thing? OR, the one who ALWAYS KNOWS THE OUTCOME? I will bet you are on the one who is puzzled, befuddled, unsure, and doesn’t have an answer. What is really nice for THOSE WHO BELONG TO JESUS, and I mean REAL CHRISTIANS, not those who claim to be Christians and do evil, but those WHO ACTUALLY PRAY DAILY AND LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, IS that THEY WILL ALWAYS HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD AND DO IT, unlike those charlatans in the WH who pretend by using the name of God and then ignoring Him. Of course, ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS already KNOW how the entire story of the Universe ends, don’t we? Of course we do. First, true followers of Christ WILL BE REWARDED WITH HEAVEN and walking with the Savior, no matter whether we die, or are raptured. Then, there will be those who MOCK us and try to kill us, but it will be useless because the TRUE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST will not move from their faith or beliefs, so IF YOU KILL US, WE WILL JUST SPEND ETERNITY WITH JESUS because WE believe this earth is temporary, faulty because of people like you who have no beliefs or have evil beliefs, so it does not matter. YOU LOSE. WE WIN. THANK YOU JE

      Hey people!
      “goodinohio” really is a sheeple – a useful idiot. Can’t you tell by his words? He clearly does not know the Bible and some sheeple reportedly, do, but not this little guy. He baaaaa’s all the way over to The Blaze just to say something irrelevant, meaningless, and absurd, which is typical of the left, just so he can start a stir. You, are the black sheep, no pun intended.

      WHEN GOD SPEAKS, HE REALLY SPEAKS. That does not necessarily mean what you think it does, but when He tells you to do something, you had better do it. If I were Cain, I would not have made that comment FOR ANY REASON. Why? God has a plan and that plan should have been between him and God so God could move in His own way. This does make me doubt somewhat, but since I do not know the plan, I cannot say for sure. I am pro-Cain, so all this will remain to be seen and it will NOT deter me from supporting him. AND, it didn’t convince me in any other way either. Everyone says they believe in God when they are running for office, because the majority of Americans ARE PRO-GOD, so IT THE CANDIDATES’ ANSWERS ABOUT THE ISSUES that I listen to the most and so should you. This, about God calling him to run, is just media fluff and I am a devout Christian AND EVEN I SEE THIS. WHY DIDN’T YOU????.

      Read Romans 13 to find out what the role of gov’t is. Sheesh. This isn’t rocket science.

      “IT (the authorities) DOES NOT BEAR THE SWORD FOR NOTHING”

      1 Every [a]person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except [b]from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil.

      ” Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; 4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. “

      Does God also say that working hard and being “fruitful” is evil? You socialists should see that you are on the wrong side of this one. Socialism necessarily requires a forceful government. The more socialist it is, the more force that is needed. Socialism and freedom cannot coexist. Get it?

Neither one of these guys (Cain/Gingrich) will reduce the size of GOVERNMENT by dismantling the EPA, the DOEd, the DOE, the DOC and other unconstitutional agencies. Remember that Cain just wants to “fix” the Federal Reserve and he was a part of it. I fear we are preparing to put up another George Bush, just because Obama is so bad.

      Title: Newt Turns Fire on Cain

      Newt Gingrich said Friday that Herman Cain should not have joked about Anita Hill potentially endorsing him for president, arguing in a radio interview that harassment is “not something to be joked about.”

      “I think if you look at the concerns we have about issues like sexual harassment, if you look at the tragedy at Penn State, if you look at how people feel in general about this kind of stuff, it’s not something to be joked about,” Gingrich said on Laura Ingraham’s show.
      Continue Reading

      “He may well be innocent,” Gingrich said of Cain, “and I think it’s perfectly reasonable for him to defend himself and for him to make clear who his accusers are, but these are not things, I think, that you joke about.”

First, it will be evidenced by committed, sold out believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, with signs and wonders following, which will be accompanied by the great gathering in, soon after to be followed by the Rapture, when the God deniers, the mockers and the superficial will be left behind.

      And that is not even mentioning the ridiculous spending that has put us in a cab to the poorhouse.

      Granted, yes, God could have it in His plan to teach either Mr. Cain, or the country, something with him running, but it feels more like a Mark 6 warning.

      Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

      Quite often people confuse being ‘called’ or ‘told’ by God to do something and the guarantee of success. It is an act of obedience to that calling that Herman Cain is going through now. Whether he wins of loses is not the end result, it’s whether Herman Cain heard the voice of God through prayer and meditation and heeded the call. Mother Teresa of Calcutta said: “I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness. God is asking for faithfulness.

      He is merely saying that he prayed deeply over his decision to run for President and that he believes this was God’s answer. Unfortunately, when as you say “politicians pull this crap”, it always works against them.

      ”Doug, what exactly is tragic?’

      Leaving this life without being reconciled to God. CHOOSING to refuse the free gift of forgiveness. There will be no forgiveness to anyone who refuses it and total forgiveness to anyone who sees the need and accepts it. Either way it’s your choice or my choice or Mr. Cain’s or anyone else. You stand responsible before God. As do I, and Mr. Cain, etc. We live and die by these choices.

      Forcing someone else to make a choice against their will is no choice at all for them. That is in my opinion THE fundamental error of things like Obama’s Health Care plan. People should have the right to fail if they so choose.

      Read, “How Christianity Changed the World” by Alvin Schmidt (ISBN-13 978-0-310-26449-1) if you want to have any sort of correct understanding of today’s world and how we got to where we are. Educate yourself.

      I don’t think Mark under the inspiration the Holy Spirit was not referring to someone running for President an act of kindness or charity! That‘s referring to someone telling or bragging to the world how much you gave to charity last year like O’Reilly does on a regular basis to wounded warriors and other charitable organizations!

    Sometimes when God asks you to do something, the winning everything is not the goal as much as pushing others to face things they would of otherwise have ignored. He came in with a plan and it forced others to come up with a plan. He has also shown what can happen when you don’t let someone else tell you what class you are in. This America we don’t have a class system! I wish people would quit pushing a low – middle – high class type of system on us. If there were a class system it would be along the lines of “The lazy leeching class, The working class, and the I’m so arrogant I know how you should live your life class.”

    God talks to all of us, his children. If we ignore Him (way too many of us are ADHD in that respect) then we do so at our own peril. I notice that those who tend to ignore Him, like to believe that He doesn’t talk to anyone and will try to degrade those who listen to the still, small voice.

    I don’t know about you, but I definately want a man, or woman, in the white house who does listen to the inspiration that God’s spirit can bring us, if we but listen…

It’s one thing to disagree with someone. It is quite another to degrade, insult, and ruin reputations. Seems like the old adage ” if you don’t have something nice to say, be quiet“ has been replaced by ” if you don’t have something nice to say, scream it out and keep repeating it .” The disrespect and the hate just drips from so many comments. ( I enjoyed the ” God didn’t tell him to wear the hat” because it was funny but was not impugning Cain’s character )

      Hey, I like Cain for the most part, except that he had to resort to religion to appease a particular group he was pandering to. I would probably even vote for him given the lack luster, pathetic group of other republican candidates in the race. I think candidates should be able to stand on their own without wearing their religion on their sleeves. Unfortunately, that is not usually the case.

      Many really don’t understand what it means to talk to God. That’s what prayer is about. Also, we were told there are three, The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit, and these three are ONE. When Jesus went to The Father, he said the Holy Spirit would be with us. When you pray in earnest, you can feel the Holy Spirit. This doesn’t mean we get everything we pray for, nor instantly.

      So, when we say God spoke with us, it’s the gift of the Holy Spirit that gives a calm assurance.
      That still doesn’t mean you get all you ask for, but it may come in a different way than expected, God’s way. I’m not a good spokesman, but I do know what I feel God expects of us. When I fail,
      I know God will forgive me when I repent.
      If Cain is guilty of anything, I‘m sure he’s repented and that’s not for us to decide, for God only. Personally, I think he’s being railroaded. I can tell the difference between a flirt and a womanizer who would put a hand up your leg. God help me, but that guy would end up with a broken hand or arm or worse if he tried any of that with me.. The woman sets the tone of a relationship or friendship.

    God may have impressed it on Cain and Bauckman to run, I don’t know, I didn’t hear either one of them say God told them they were going to win though. Cain did say he was in it to win, that‘s a little different than God told me I was gonna win isn’t it. There are times when God will put us in something to lose as well as win, both are in His plans and purposes. Of course there are times when people think God told them something but He really didn’t! When God tells anyone something for real, they can take it to the bank, it’s a done deal! I believe God has an interest in who is our president and I think God gave us Obama for a purpose and Obama thinks he won because he is so smart and smooth. Yes even sometimes God uses the bad things for His purposes! The devil also uses people, God will win in the end, God is waiting for everyone to close sides before He sounds the final horn that the game is over! No one knows the day or the hour but it certainly appears that we could be in 4th quarter with very little time on the clock! Watch and be ready! Choose this day whom you will serve!

      @bakko bomma,

      God asked the prophet Jeremiah to proclaim His word to the nation of Isreal and told Jeremiah that they would not listen. So, presuming a predetermined outcome is a conclusion based upon a set of presumptions you have that are not correct.

      Would God have delayed judgement if they had turned back to Him? Yup, kisy read Jonah. However, being God (*ahem*) He knew beforehand that Isreal wouldn’t turn.

      So, why bother then? To graciously give them another opportunity to turn.

      Our nation seems on the same course. Each individual WILL answer for their choices and decisions. Please choose life.

      If you or anyone else, like the nation of Isreal CHOOSES to reject the FREE offer then they only have themselves to blame, including Mr. Cain. I think the wise course os to pray for him that his choices are good, from God’s point of view. Just like we Christians also ought to be prayig daily for President Obama.

      There‘s a reason he’s in office.

      Jesus listened to God’s word to redeem mankind. You’ll notice that He was mocked and killed by the MSM/ religion/politics of his day . Those who listen to God’s word are not guaranteed “success” in this world. Think of the many Christian martyrs. And Lot. Think that is why all of this “social justice” is just a bunch of “hooey.” The spiritual world and the material world are quite different. That is why Big Daddy Government will never solve the ills of man’s spirit which is really what is at the hate base of all of the Occupies: they all about “stuff,” revenge, and hate.
