Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) appeared on Glenn Becks radio show this morning to discuss a variety of topics. After commenting about the need to combat President Barack Obamas use of executive power, the politician dove into the spiritual realm. Noting that he believes Americas problems run deeper than political schisms, Paul called for a spiritual awakening and revival.
The senator made his comments about the need for faith leaders to rise up and called for increased religious fervor after Beck asked him about his own spiritual well-being.
Paul said that when he was first running for office he appreciated people telling him that they were praying for him, but that he didnt take these pledges seriously enough. Now, he sees inherent value in these prayers and well-wishes and he believes the nation should adopt similar sentiments.
I think that our country needs a spiritual cleansing, Paul told Beck. I really think we need a revival in this country and I do need your prayers and I do need the strength to go on with this, because this isnt always easy.
He went on to call for religious leaders to come forward and to help deal with the issues at hand and said that something is needed (i.e. God) that is bigger than any politician.
I think our countrys problems are deeper than political that we need spiritual leaders to come forward. We need something beyond just the politics of the day and, you know, I see it everywhere something really depraved is rising in the country, he continued.

At least that’s what Aqua Buddha is telling us.
quite.
A nation that aborts 55 million kids ... that elects a depraved pervert as president ... TWICE ... that elects a demonic socialist as president ... TWICE ...
That nation's problems are spiritual, not political.
Yup.
The marxists are deeply embedded in the mainstream Protestant churches, can’t count on them.
True, the “body of Christ” as I understand it - in this country anyway - is in a lot of non-denominational churches, home churches, or non churched to a degree. Many “churches” are just buildings where people meet on Sundays.
is he God fearing?
if that’s what he said, he’s absolutely right. i hope he keeps saying it.
“ something really depraved is rising in the country....”
Indeed... and I call them democrats.
We are at war with evil and for the moment....evil is winning.
I’ve been saying every preacher in this country should be screaming from the pulpit every Sunday on what’s happening in this country. More than just saying “I pray for the president. I don’t agree with him but I pray for him.” (I heard one say that.)
Something wicked this way comes."
All things are related to our treatment of God and Israel.
He does not put up with this forever. Its a promise from Him.
Glenn Beck has been calling for spiritual renewal for a long time and he had Rand Paul on to say the same thing. They’re both right — without a spiritual foundation, the country will falter.
He’s right.
No matter what we think of Rand Paul, he is still right.
There is an evil spirit stalking america...
It has many names, maybe you have a special name for it..
Use that name... america is indeed bewitched..
It is a lazy, obscene, drug induced spirit..
Any that does not believe this has not been paying attention..
-OR- lazy, obscene or high on something.. or all three..
55 MILLION DEAD BABIES and people screaming for MORE DEAD BABIES is a HUGE CLUE that we are depraved!!!! ANd now with UNNATURAL SEX taking Left Center Stage.....well, God cannot be mocked forever. God is NOT HAPPY with us.
As in the days of Noah, so shall it be when the son of man returns...
As in the days of Noah, so shall it be when the son of man returns...
Luke 21:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
I find comfort knowing that justice will be done, but sad that it will be dealt to my country which was once great, but has made such bad choices.
We are on a downward slide, and the bottom of the hill isn’t pretty. Even if we were to ban abortion now, which we should, the justice coming to our country for past evil will be due.
