>Yesterday, as I was driving I again had the impulse to call on General Washington, so I’ve been reaching out to him in prayer. I can’t explain it, I just go with it. We need all the help we can get.
That is VERY dangerous. Praying to anyone except Jesus, who DOES ever live and intercede (His role as Priest), is dangerous; also, Jesus is the Perfect Intercessor and cannot be matched by anyone even if [as in the Roman Catholic tradition] you are allowed/encouraged to pray to saints.
I was trying to channel John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin.
I'm not getting into a flame war..but come on now...Have you never asked "others" to pray for you?
