No, hes not praying that Barack Obama will overturn Obamacare and no, hes not praying that he will occupy the presidency one day. Instead, hes alongside Rev. Rob Schenck (from Faith and Action) and Rev. Frazier White (a Democrat and Obama supporter) praying for Saeed Abedini, who has been in an Iranian prison for one year. He is being persecuted for his faith to Jesus Christ.
Who says Ted Cruz isnt bipartisan?
I have not only interviewed Ted Cruz many times, but I have spent time with him and his family. He is true Bible-believing Christian who is not ashamed of the Gospel. Of course the liberals dont want to hear that nonsense. Theyll now be busy trying to figure out how to distort this picture in Adobe Photoshop.
Below are the words of Rev. Rob Schenck, the man who organized the prayer.
In the image you see me at the center with my prayer stole as we intercede in Jesus name for our brother in Christ and imprisoned pastor, Saeed Abedini, who has suffered in an Iranian prison for one year because of his faithful witness to Christ. Kneeling with me on my left (the significance of the placement should be noted) is the U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, a tea party Republican from Texas. Sen. Cruz just made wall-to-wall headlines for his 20+ hour filibuster opposing Obamacare, the Presidents signature legislative achievement.
On my right (again, note the orientation) is Rev. Frazier White, a Democrat community organizer from my neighborhood of Capitol Hill, and a huge supporter of President Obama. At the moment the photo was taken, though, the politically polar opposite positions of the Senator and the Pastor were irrelevant.
We were bowed before the Holy, the Supernal, the highest Lord in the universe, and the One and Only Eternal King. Everything else: party labels, policy positions, job descriptions, accents, zip codes, skin color, filibusters and organizing, were all utterly and completely dwarfed. In that moment of prayerespecially for a fellow Christian, a persecuted believer, whose circumstances are for most us unimaginableour political and cultural squabbles seemed petty.
Pastor White, Sen. Cruz, Rev. Pat Mahoney, Jordan and Anna Sekulow, myself, and so many others, were there in front of the White House to do the really and truly important business of crying out to God for one of our own that was suffering for his faith.
Ok, here is my question...
Where are the photos of Obama at prayer?
He also keeps his cool under intense fire. A man of many God given talents...I don’t believe in coincidences...Sen.Cruz is a man on a mission and is the man for OUR time. We’ve bee waiting for a man who is courageous and very capable on all levels, and Sen. Cruz has my vote on all counts.
I would rather he follow the traditions of the two in these paintings. No need to make a show of it.
Oh, those Christians....
/s
And Republican liberals are accusing Cruz of not being humble.
thank god for Cruz as his taking a stand is outing the liberals in the GOP!
Obama has declared November to be National Muslim Appreciation Day
lolz
God Bless these men....
Prayer is what America needs right now, today, and going forward.
Nothing else will succeed.
In all 57 states?
:>)
Looks like it.
I hope we all show our appreciation.
I say we freep Mosques in November.
Is a little mosque a mosquito?
AMERICANS THEY ARE...
” CRUZADE “
I like that, I’ll use it.
Every day I hear something that makes me like Cruz better!
For that matter, is there any photos of Obama saluting the American flag?
Lets start that conversation by acknowledging we arent going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants... bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society. Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors. [but hes not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.
Make that three
