Definitely a big Amen on this one!          

'Revival Is on the Way:' Ted Cruz Joins Prayer Battle in the Capitol

2016 presidential candidate Ted Cruz recently held a prayer meeting with conservative pastors and members of Congress on Capitol Hill.

The meeting was held to pray against Satan's power on Capitol Hill and was organized by Wallbuilders and the Jefferson Gathering, reported by Right Wing Watch.

Wallbuilders is a conservative organization run by evangelical author and activist David Barton, and the Jefferson Gathering is a prayer organization developed by Skyline Church, where Jim Garlow is the lead pastor.

"Sen. Ted Cruz was eloquent as usual. He came through a bruising election - and continues to be a profound & significant voice in the Senate. Thank God for him!" Garlow wrote on Facebook.

"There are at least 5 or 6 pastors...in Congress. Congressman Jody Hice - GA - is one of those & was my friend before he went to the US House of Representatives. These are the type of high quality people who are representing you," he said in another post.

"The problem has been in the White House & 5 of the Justices of the SCOTUS. The problem is NOT the Congress," he added. ..

...The group prayed in the Kennedy Caucus Room in the Capitol and in the U.S. Senate chamber, also led by Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas.

"We got on our knees... and it sounded almost like a labor room as people were crying out to God for the revival that Chaplain Black believes is coming and that we believe is coming," Kistler said.

"To do that in the Senate chamber was an absolutely astounding opportunity," he added. "And again it puts an exclamation point on the Senate chaplain's assessment that revival is on the way and may indeed begin in the halls of Congress."

This will not go over well on TOS.

How long before the prayer rugs arrive?

I may not be the world's greatest Christian but I gotta love and respect those who walk the walk loud and proud.

Ditto that.

What does that mean, @Right_in_Virginia?  You are aware that they are Christians and Christians don't need prayer rugs?  Or, was that supposed to be cute somehow?

May it be so.

Revival is the only thing that can save America right now.

  Yes this was certainly refreshing to read, except for the fact that the MSM isn't bothering to print the story; shame on them!

Don't be a smartarse @Sanguine.  It's above your pay grade.

Prayer rugs were never even ordered, but an abundance of Bibles, Crucifixes, Rosaries, Crosses and Prayer Shawls have already been delivered.

[Sanguine]

Don't be a smartarse @Sanguine.  It's above your pay grade.

I think you're projecting.  What exactly did you mean?  @Right_in_Virginia. 

If you don't know, I'm not sure how you expect anyone else to understand your comment.

I knew someone would come along to  piss on Ted Cruz for doing this.  Godless people just can't stand it when others practice their faith.

[geronl]

revival is not on the way

Is there any topic that you have a positive outlook or comment on?  Just wondering.

When I tell people I love God, most of them make fun of me.  But, instead of arguing, I make note, and pray for them that night.

You are an idiot.

Unfortunately, they always ignore stories that positively reflect on Christians.

Check out how much attention they pay to the March for Life every January....  zero.

They just want to call Dylan Roof, Timothy McVeigh and Adolf Hitler Christians and leave it at that.....

She won't like that.

Could you be anymore disrespectful and disgusting?

Thisnwas one of those times you shoukd have shown some self restraint and not said anything.

No.  Prayer sessions on government property will be open to all faiths, including Islam ... hence the prayer rugs will arrive.

It would not surprise me if Muslims push for a prayer room in the Senate building, if they don't have one already, and pray for the intersession of Allah in the government of the United States.

I'm not going to like that, but there won't be a darn thing I can do about it.   

I offer no apology if this offends you.

You weren't concerned about Muslims or whether they will bw allowed to pray or not.

You just thought you had an opportunity to take a completely uncalled for and gratuitous shot at Cruz.

You failed miserably and ended up looking like a complete fool.

Again you should have engaged your brain and passed this thread by.

But your blind unwarranted hatred prevents you from thinking clearly.

Sad...

Don't presume to tell me what I think @txradioguy   You lack the intellect and the skill.

Watching paint dry is a better use of my time than using it to think about Cruz, gratuitously or otherwise.

Give it up, @txradioguy, you don't have what it takes to be both that trite and shallow and angry and ugly, all at the same time.

You're in the presence of a master.

[txradioguy]

No one has to presume anything...you make it quite obvious to even a blind man.

And no skill is required to deal with a Trumpkin like you.

Watching paint dry is a better use of my time than using it to think about Cruz, gratuitously or otherwise.

And yet here you are...with Cruz living rent free in your head.

If you weren't thinkimg about him like you claim....you wouldn't have felt the need to come in here and make the comment you made.
