AFTER NOT BEING OBSERVED BY WHITE HOUSE FOR EIGHT YEARS, PRESIDENT TRUMP "BREAKS PROTOCOL" ON NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER BY HONORING THESE CHRISTIANS: "JUST A FANTASTIC NIGHT!"

Teresa Neumann : May 9, 2017 : Breaking Christian News
"Listen, the National Day of Prayer has not been observed in the White House for eight years. This is important." -Pastor Greg Laurie
(Washington, DC)—Greg Laurie, senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California, has written of his unique experience at the White House the night before the National Day of Prayer and President Trump's signing of an executive order promoting free speech and religious liberty. (Photo: Greg Laurie in Washington, DC/via Harvest TV)
Laurie, who shared the honor of meeting the president over a special dinner with a host of Christian leaders such as James Dobson, Franklin Graham, Richard Land and others, said he was seated next to Vice-President Mike Pence and his wife Karen.
Although Laurie and the others were informed that President Trump might have to leave the dinner event early, he said, But "He ends up hanging out with us for like three hours. It just went on and on. I think he was having a good time." (Photo: Steven Curtis Chapman leading worship in Rose Garden/via Facebook-Greg Laurie)
Not only that, but after the dinner, the president invited them all to see the Lincoln bedroom on the second floor of the White House and then took them to see the Truman balcony.
"I think this is outside of protocol," noted Laurie, "because normally, people are not taken up to the second floor, where the family has their private quarters." (Photo: Franklin Graham and Greg Laurie/via Facebook video)
James Dobson, who had visited the White House several times before, was quoted as saying he had never seen anything like it. "Even he was amazed," noted Laurie. "That was just a fantastic night."
As for those who might criticize Laurie for "mixing politics with religion," the pastor had this to say:
"If the president of the United States invites you to dinner—I don't care if you voted for them or not—you go to dinner with the president. Besides, it's a free meal, right? I was never invited by President Obama. If Secretary [Hillary] Clinton had won and asked me to be on some faith advisory board, I would have jumped at the chance. Of course, I would do that." (Photo: Greg Laurie with the Marine String Quartet in the White House/via Facebook)
"Christians need to be involved in everything today in our country, including politics," continued Laurie. "Christians need to register, they need to vote, they need to run for office, and they need to be in every place in our society. I was really surprised to find how many members of this administration were overt Christians and many of them meet for Bible study every week. I don't want to say who and what, but I met people and was surprised to find that they were a Believer and very encouraged by that as well."

The Mystery of Spiritual Garment

Few explanations on what these prayers will focus on. Topic: The Mystery of Spiritual Garment Text: (Zechariah 3:1-3) Minister: Dr. D.K. Okukoya Our understanding was opened seriously by the book of Zechariah 3:1. The bible talks about garment of iniquity. You and I know that even in the physical people say they are dressing to kill. Prov 10:17 talks about the attire of an adult. When you dress up as a lady and your breasts are outside or almost out, you may not talk but you're saying something with your clothes. Clothes and garment speaks. A queen cannot dress like a harlot. God was the first garment maker. He gave them garment of glory in the garden of eden and when they committed sin, He then gave them the garment of leaves. The #bible talks about garment of righteousness which is called White Garment. Garment of the blood means #Victory. There's a reason why evil people attack some people and it's because they; 1. Dress in filthy garment. ...

SATAN OWNS THE FENCE

Image
There was a large group of people gathered. On one side of the group stood a man, Jesus. On the other side stood another, Satan. Seperating them was a fence running through the group. The scene set, both Jesus and Satan began calling to people in the group. One by one, each having made up his or her own mind, went to either Jesus or Satan. This kept going for a time. Soon enough, Jesus had gathered around him a group of people from the larger crowd, as did Satan.One man joined neither group. He climbed the fence that was there and sat on it. Jesus and his people left and disappeared, and so too did Satan and his people. The man on the fence sat alone. As this man sat, Satan came back, looking for something which he appeared to have lost. The man said, "Have you lost something?" Satan looked straight at him and replied, "No, there you are. Come with me." The man said, "But I sat on the fence. I chose neither you nor him." Satan said, "That's...
