George W. Bush: Faith in the White House

THIS WAS GREAT!!!!!! I don't know if anyone else watched this program on INSP TV Saturday, October 02, 2004 10:00 - 11: PM ---

George W. Bush: Faith in the White House --- This was non-political program offers a revealing insider's look at the spiritual life of George W. Bush. Filled with never-before-seen footage this takes viewers behind-the-scenes to experience the challenges he faces, and how his faith has helped him deal with these pressures and shaped his life.

Not since the days of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln has a president put so much stock in his Christian faith and prayer life for making decisions and leading the United States in its hour of crisis. According to BBC correspondent Justin Webb: "Nobody spends more time on his knees than George W. Bush. The Bush administration hums to the sound of prayer. Prayer meetings take place day and night. It's not uncommon to see White House functionaries hurrying down corridors carrying Bibles."

This program will examine the extraordinary faith and prayer life of President George W. Bush, and how it impacts his personal life and his decisions as the leader of the free world. See how his faith has been unshakeable in dealing with the 9/11 terrorist attack, fighting al-Qaeda, ridding Iraq of the Saddam Hussein regime, rooting out terrorists in Afghanistan, and how his religious beliefs bring personal peace and clarity in a time of terrorism and chaos across the world.

According to Newsweek magazine, "this presidency is the most resolutely faith-based in modern times - an enterprise founded, supported and guided by trust in the temporal and spiritual power of God." This special also explores President Bush's boldness in witnessing and proclaiming his faith to world leaders, and examines his Christian appointees and the Presidential Prayer Team that uplifts him in intercessory prayer. Learn about George W. Bush's faith journey from the barroom to the Oval office. See how the power of faith can change a life, build a family and shape the destiny of a nation. His faith will inspire you! DVD or VHS FORMAT 70 Minutes

An endorsement for President Bush

Recently, an editor asked me to write an endorsement for Mr. Bush for re-election to the office of President of the United States of America. I am honored to do so. I find it to be an interesting prospect. I’ve already been ‘endorsing’ and supporting our President for some time now. I’ve done this through the use of massive email campaigns, as well as through personal interactions with many of his supporters, and his opponents. I must tell you, though. I must first admit that I do have a dog in this hunt. I’ll further explain that in a few moments. I honestly admire Mr. Bush. Whether you agree with him on the issues or not, one thing should be said about him. You know where he stands. I like that in people for some odd reason. When he takes a stand, you know right where his feet are set, and so does he. Planted firmly upon a Rock.

People often wonder about hesitation in the patterns of his speech. He often inserts a lot of “ah’s” and “uh’s” in his speeches, as well as during his one on one interviews with the media. I like that. It means that he thinks about things before he says them out loud. There’s a place in the Bible that addresses such things. I mean, the “uh’s” and “ah’s” are rather distracting, but I often talk the same way at times, especially when I do any public speaking. I want to make sure that I say things in just the way that I meant to say them. There’s no sense in saying something if you don’t mean it. I believe that Mr. Bush is like that. It may be a bad habit, but that particular habit tells me a lot about the man. There are a few places in the Bible that address such concerns as saying what you mean. The Bible also warns us of the power of the spoken word. There are a lot of people in the world that are very smooth in their manner of speech. They seem to use all of the right words and gestures. They use all of the ‘proper’ nuances in the way that they walk, talk, and dress. A lot of preachers and churches are like that as well. Much that they say is meaningless. They aren’t being real, you see. They’re walking, sweet-talking, sweet-smelling, lies.

One thing that I’ve noticed over the years, is that a lot of people don’t connect the things that they know, with what is going on around them. Politics has never been a real nice game to play. If you don’t go too far back in history, you can study the histories of Byzantium, the Roman Senate, Constantinople, the medieval French, the Dutch trade guilds, the Medici’s and Venice, and the British Empire. You can find these things throughout the history of China and Egypt as well. All of that intrigue, gamesmanship, financing, backstabbing, lying, cheating, and stealing? It didn’t go away. By closely examining history, you can see the beginnings of a lot of our present day problems, and how they all came to be. You can even find historical references, and even precedents for such political intrigues, in the Bible.

What really upsets people who posture, pose, and intrigue, is when a man comes along who says what he means, and means what he says. For some of them, it means that everything that they have been planning for years is suddenly meaningless. Decades, even generations of hard work, are suddenly wasted. Everything from backroom deals about who’s relatives and associates go to what school, and when; to what branch of the service they join, where they serve, and who they serve under. They have them ‘apprenticed’ under this political leader, that financier, lawyer, businessman or company. This does not include any sort of alliance, whether temporary or permanent, regarding anything else, including politics…or even who marries what. These things still go on. They are happening around you now, this very moment.

You must understand that Mr. Bush is playing a dangerous game by not playing these games. He has many powerful people around the world upset with him over this. They are not only upset, they are frantic. To paraphrase somewhat, a good sign of who a man is, might be by actually taking a long, hard look, at who his enemies are. Many of Mr. Bush’s enemies are liars, cheats, gluttons, coveters, and men and women of very ill repute. They are people and nations who don’t care for anything more than what they can get for themselves, and for themselves alone. His enemies are mostly the declared enemies of God. They are all attempting to destroy The Constitution of the United States, which is based upon one thing: The primacy of God, and the primacy of true spirituality in our lives. A document based upon truth, free will, and freedom…from the life and soul destroying games of political intrigue, ambition, power, nepotism, self-aggrandizement, tyranny, and despotism. One of the ancestors of our freedom, in our original fight for liberty in this nation, once warned us not to become involved in any entanglements. The politicos in D.C., and around the nation, have all become entangled in many webs, with a staggering number of nations, peoples, financiers, and other power brokers, around the globe. They’ve also ensured that this nation is heavily involved in such entanglements. Entanglements it will be almost impossible to safely break.

The President might not be much for outward appearances, or sweet-talking stylishness. When he says that he’s going to do something, he seems to get it done. I like that characteristic in people. Mr. George W. Bush, just by being who he is, and where he is, and when he is, has shaken all of that intrigue to its foundations. Those Gordian Knots of Intrigue are becoming unraveled. The bad news is, that it makes for a very dangerous situation in the real world. A lot of those people, nations, and power mongers, are desperate to get things back to ‘normal’, no matter what it takes to get the job done. The U.N. The Communists. The Socialists and Socialist Democrats. The financiers. The Muslims. All of their plans, all of their associations, all of their entanglements, are coming to light. In the meantime, they all seek new alliances, and begin new intrigues.

The dog I have in this hunt? Why, I want the truth to be known among all men. I want people to pay attention, to think clearly, and to think rationally. I want people like you to stop dancing in the dark. I want people like you to open your eyes to reality. Everything that you know is in danger. It has been for a long time. Everything that you count on is dust without freedom and liberty, and hope. The good Lord gave you free will. It’s time that you opened your eyes, woke up, and used it.

True spirituality is not weakness. It is strength indeed. There is a time for peace, and there is a time for war. Your very lives are at stake. Your very souls lie presently under darkness. There can be no light without God in Christ. All else is falsehood. All else is meaningless. Mr. Bush knows this, and he walks in the light. However, Daniel in the lion’s den was in less danger than our nation is today. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were in less danger walking into the fire, than the danger that you and I are presently in, at this very moment. This nation is at war, not only against terrorists, but also against those who would destroy this nation, destroy you and yours, and take away your freedoms and liberties in Christ, once and for all. Aside from intervention by God in Christ, Mr. Bush is our best present hope for this nation.

I do not say this lightly, or in ignorance. I speak with full knowledge of the realities that we face, not only here, but also in every nation abroad. Believers die, they are imprisoned, beaten, tortured, each and every day in this world, for only believing. These things are happening now, in this world, and in this present reality. Everything that many believers in other nations have and know, is stolen from them every day, and every night. Today, among many other things already lost to us all in this nation, there are laws restricting your freedom of religion as followers of Christ. There are presently laws in place, and being used, to re-write the history of God in this nation. There are presently bills before Congress, that will be used by many to take away your right to freedom of religion, while allowing other religions to replace Christ, and all that He has ever stood for in this nation.

Sleep on, if you will, but as for my house, and me; we will serve the Lord. Myself, I have little fear of man, and I have no fear of death or of darkness. I know the Light. I do have fear for you, though. I do have fear for your freedom, and for your very souls.

I’m a watchman on the wall, America. It’s time to wake up. Your lives and souls are in mortal danger. Do not act from fear, but in joy! The Lord has given you a great opportunity! Make sure you take advantage of it.
