We Need an Honest to Goodness Holy Ghost Revival

[Cow Poke]

I've been saying that for some time now, as the country seems more and more deeply divided, and 'government' can't be trusted or relied upon to change things.

Change happens when the heart is changed.

MAYBE there's hope, to whatever extent this reporting is accurate...

Bible Studies at the White House: Who's Inside This Spiritual Awakening?

[One Bad Pig]

From reading the article, it doesn't appear that the President/VP actually attend the studies (though Pence has expressed interest in making time). Not sure if the "handpicked" is referring to the Cabinet itself or the Bible study.

I think because of this part...

Ralph Drollinger of Capitol Ministries told CBN News, "These are godly individuals that God has risen to a position of prominence in our culture."

They're all handpicked by President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

...the implication is that, even though Trump may not have been aware of what he was doing, he "hand picked" the "godly individuals" who are meeting, studying the Bible, and presumably praying for our nation and Trump.

It's a glimmer of hope in an otherwise... um... chaotic administration.

I think there is at least one faithful chaplain there (African American and I don't recall his church affiliation ) who had been criticizing Congress members. He may not be there anymore.

But yeah, I've seen more reports of those prayer groups.

Good, as long as they don't blunder into putting together some sort of de facto theonomy.

The fact that they consider that weird little fascist turd Sessions a good example impresses me -- unfavorably.

The language you use in describing Sessions (and your unreasoning fear that someone's going to implement theonomy) impresses me - unfavorably.

I was trying to think of a polite way of saying....


... yeah

Hopefully Trump will attend and learn something.

Pence is already a pretty strong Christian from what I have read.

Always praying and hoping for it, but I'll believe it when I see it.

I will be more hopeful when a revival breaks out among the people. A government "lead" revival by one administration can be easily undone by the next administration.

Well, that's why it needs to be a Holy Ghost revival.

Those aren't so easily undone.

It takes a whole generation to turn away again.

I amen'd this, but it's worth amening here, too.

And such revivals tend to have ulterior political motivations and not focused on God.

We need the real deal.

So, if God chooses to pour out His Spirit on some people who happen to work in government - even in high positions - you'd reject it? I'm thinking you're not a student of Revivals of the 20th century.
