Exactly. I think people are worried that he's fooling someone, or that
he will "get some votes" through association with Pentecost.

First, he wouldnt get many votes, and if he does... so what ? others
votes are stolen by other lies. 

Second, he's not fooling anyone. Bill Clinton is a smart guy. He's
obviously not a well qualified President, and its obvious that God
wants him in office. Too bad "Aposlicans" - we aint in it for the
glory anyway. 

He's one real fortunate guy to have had Bro Lumkin as a friend (and
obviously Mickey Mangun, and now Anthony), and he knows it.

Listening to some of the contempt makes me sick. You know, I recently
talked with a guy who has a wife who isnt saved. He is living one
difficult life. He feels that God has called him to preach or do some
work for God, and there arent many doors in sight. 

I dont know what everyone has told him, but I found it needful to
emphasize that GOD could and WOULD save His wife, BEFORE ever making
matters worse by causing a divorce, or worse yet, a destruction of his
christian witness. This came as kind of a revelation.

Well, here is another, God saves wretched sinners, and even restores
backsliders. 

The guy's MARRIAGE is a means to his wife's salvation, and a
relationship with an Apostolic preacher is a remidy for Bill Clinton's
problems. I sure do hope that no one would deny the guy salation, just
because he stuck in the position  of being President of the USA.

If it doesnt work - well, thats a tragedy. But you and I who have the
treasure in these dumb clay pots, like Sis Colleen implies, are held
out as hope to the world. 

Lets pray and make the man from Hope, to become the man with Hope.

Gloves back on...

Had to wait for Sis Colleen to get the anointing on this one first ...
:-) She's a preacher!
