Everyone,
First of all,
yes this is
true. I
researched it
and found that
this pastor has
been inundated
with so many
emails and phone
calls, that a
website was
created to help
capture the
response. At
last count, his
office was
averaging 200
emails and phone
calls an hour.
Please visit his
website at
http://www.agreeinprayer.com/
for more
information and
updates. It is
worth viewing.
Pastor Mark
Arnold in
Lebanon , Ohio
wrote the below
account. This
account is true.
He sent this
out first to
just a tiny
handful of
friends and
relatives, never
dreaming that,
thanks to email,
it would soon
travel around
the world.
As of 3:30 p.m.
today, September
25, he's heard
back from 49
states, 11
nations, several
major Christian
ministries and
news networks
and is receiving
70-100 emails an
hour. He is
refusing money
from the news
networks for the
story even
though he's a
"tent-maker"
pastor of a
little church.
He works 50-hour
weeks in
addition to his
church duties.
He was asked
what he felt the
value was in
letting this
story go public.
He said he is
seeing people
moved and coming
out of the
"caves" they've
been in, coming
alive and
realizing that
they need to get
back involved in
the affairs of
the nation and
not sleep
through this
season like the
church did
when they
allowed prayer
to be removed
from schools.
"God asked me if
I would obey and
I did," he said.
"I was a
"Mordecai for
her (Sarah
Palin), I did my
part. Now the
church has to do
their part." So,
dear praying
friends, read
the story below
- be encouraged
and get to work
- on your knees,
with your
testimony and in
the voting
booth. And,
whether you
agree with the
idea of this
story going
public to
non-believers or
not, it already
has, so please
pray for
protection for
him as well as
for John McCain
and Sarah Palin.

Note from Pastor
Mark Arnold
(PLEASE READ
ENTIRE STORY
BELOW)
This past
Tuesday, the
McCain/Palin Bus
came through a
little town
called, Lebanon
, Ohio . The
LORD allowed me
to go to the
Rally giving
them a message
that He wanted
personally
delivered.
Here’s how it
happened…
Sunday Night
- a burden hit
me that would
only shake me to
my knees - I
prayed and wept
for our Nation.
Never has my
heart been so
broken before
God. I literally
interceded for
these wonderful
people who do
not deserve all
the hate against
them. The
GOD-Haters are
going to try
everything to
stop them, but
they will not
succeed! God is
not pleased with
the "bashing" in
the News of this
"Anointed"
person. He has
called her for
this time! I
promised God
that I would
pray and hold
them up in
prayer. I would
"listen" and be
mindful of where
they were.
Monday
- The following
day is important
in this
time-line
because I didn't
even know until
God spoke to me
Monday and into
Monday Night -
the burden of
prayer was so
heavy that I was
literally
shaking and
could not stop
weeping. I
didn't know that
they were coming
to Ohio . I
prayed and
walked and wept
and walked. I
prayed and
prayed and wept
and prayed.
Tuesday
at 2:00 A.M. -
God spoke these
words to me -
"Go turn the
Radio on!"
Immediately the
Reporter's Words
were - "McCain &
Palin Bus to be
in Lebanon later
this morning for
a 10:00 A.M.
Rally!"
Immediately upon
hearing that
news, I heard
God again. God
said, "You are
to go. You will
meet them and
give them a
message for Me!"
I prayed as an
intercessor and
went to a place
in prayer that I
don't think I've
ever been
because the LORD
had just visited
me and I knew I
was on a "
Mission ." I had
now been up
since Sunday
Night and now
it's Tuesday and
I've got to go
on the "WORD of
the LORD." He
sure became My
Strength as this
unfolds. I
didn't stop
praying until I
drove over to
the town and
parked the car.
The News would
later report
they were
expecting 5,000
people and the
actual
head-count of
those who had
been scanned was
more than 10,000
people.
I simply obeyed
and God actually
told me where to
stand, who to
talk to and when
to be on the
move. I had
learned on the
Mission Field,
when God wants
to open a door,
He will do it at
the appropriate
time. He always
has someone to
assist and even
those standing
beside you may
just be an
Angel.
I struck up a
conversation
with an agent on
the ground - he
simply said, "I
can't allow you
to stand here!"
This is where
the bus was
going to
actually pull
up. They had to
make a much
larger
perimeter, so
the entire area
was now being
moved back
several blocks.
The only other
thing he told me
to do was to go
through the
metal detector
zone and just
watch from the
back. So, that's
what I did.
Due to
sensitivity of
the Internet, I
can't share much
of the story, as
to what happened
next, but it was
definitely a GOD
THING ALL THE
WAY. Looking
over the
shoulders and
backs and heads
of all the
people, I knew
it would take a
miracle for what
GOD told me to
do.
As I was
standing there,
two Boy Scouts
came running up
my
back-literally,
they almost
knocked me to
the ground
because they
were running so
fast behind me
up my back and
over to the
right. These Boy
Scouts were
about Junior
High Age.
Their Scout
Leader and
several others
were behind
them, but as the
two out front
were trying to
push through the
crowd, saying
they were late.
The smaller
scouts were left
in their dust.
The Scout
Leader, who was
with a McCain
Rep from the
State, grabbed
me and told me
bring the other
Scouts up front
as they tried to
keep up with the
first two that
just came
through. I just
became the
leader of the
rest of the
Scouts to lead
them right up
front and
center. As the
Rep was shouting
back at me to
bring the Scouts
forward, the
people parted
just like God
parted the Red
Sea . I marched
those boys right
up front and to
the right of the
stage as one was
looking from the
back. When I got
there I was
fifteen feet
from the podium.
GOD said, "Stand
here, and don't
move from this
spot."
Within five
minutes, the bus
pulled up and
around the other
side McCain,
Sarah Palin and
her husband Todd
stepped up and
the speeches
took off. I was
where God placed
me. And even
Sarah Palin and
Todd were
standing on my
side of the
stage. I made
eye contact, I
gave them thumbs
up gestures and
I knew they were
just happy to
see me standing
there. Ha Ha
When they came
around the
podium and
started on the
other side, I
knew they were
coming right
toward me, a
little lady who
stood by me,
reached up and
told the Rep
that they had
promised a
Picture with her
because she was
the one who had
lost a son in
Iraq, recently.
The Rep
confirmed she
would get a
picture with
them and they
would talk to
her.
When McCain came
to hug the lady,
he immediately
shook my hand
and following
his moment with
her, I shook his
hand as he
grabbed my hand,
now for the
second time, and
I said, "God
wants you to
know that I'm
praying for you,
Sir!" He
thanked me and
kept smiling. I
repeated that
phrase to him
five times. He
grabbed my hands
and looked right
into my eyes and
said, "I
won't make it
without prayer.
Sir, thank
you for praying
for me, and
don't let one
day go by that
you don't pray
for me. I
need all the
prayers that I
can get. Thank
you, Thank you,
Thank you!" As
he moved to my
right, Sarah
Palin came over
to my left side,
standing over
the crowd, and
then looking at
the little lady
who had lost the
son. It took a
moment for her
to shake some
hands and people
were pushing in
all around.
Sarah came and
got on her hands
and knees on
that side of the
stage and hugged
that little Mom,
telling her, "It
was not in
vain." She
promised her
support.
It was at this
moment that
Sarah Palin
reached out for
me to help her
up and as I was
assisting her to
stand I was now
face to face
with her and GOD
said, "Open up
your Mouth and I
will fill it."
Here is what
came out...
"God wants you
to know that you
are a present
day Esther!
[She immediately
began to cry]!
God wants to
tell you that
you are Chosen
for such a time
as this! You are
called, and
chosen to be a
leader.
Don't lose heart
and don't fear
man.
The news and
naysayers and
criticizers are
going to be very
hateful toward
you and in the
days ahead they
are going to
turn up the
heat...but do
not fear.
You are a
present day
Esther.
You are an
Esther.
You are an
Esther!
Keep your eyes
on GOD and know
that He has
chosen you to
Reign! Stay
strong. Be
strong. Don't
tire. Don't be
weary in
well-doing. Be
strong."
Her husband Todd
came over and I
told him what I
told her. He
began to cry. “I
emphasized the
fact that he was
to guard her at
this time and
know that she is
GOD-CALLED and
GOD-ANOINTED."
This is a
GOD-THING and
your wife is a
Present day
Esther. She is
for God to use
at this time.
She is an
Esther. She is
an Esther. She
is an Esther.
You will be
hated, but stand
strong. GOD has
called both of
you to stand!"
We are
praying and I am
praying for you!
At this moment,
McCain came
right to where I
was finishing
talking to Todd
and I told Mr.
McCain exactly
what I told to
Sarah and Todd
Palin.
"Mr. McCain,
they are called
of God and she
is an Esther.
Don't lose hope
and don't lose
heart. We are
praying for all
of you!" He
shook my hand
and with a deep
look of
understanding of
what I had just
said, he said,
"Thank you for
your prayers and
support. I
really do mean
that!"
And he turned
and shook more
hands and I
watched them as
they went
through the
crowd. When I
got to my car, I
sat there for
quite a long
time...knowing
the GOD of the
Universe had
just used me to
deliver a
message
confirming to
Sarah and Todd
to realize they
are truly chosen
vessels of God.
I wept. I have
not stopped
praying and
crying. My heart
is full knowing
they had all the
staging, and all
the hype, and
all the crowd,
but the GOD of
Heaven and Earth
wanted to give
them a
Divine-God-Appointment!
To God be all
the GLORY and
HONOR.
If anyone wants
to know if I
believe God can
speak. Yes.
Absolutely, is
my Answer! Be
praying for me
and let me know
what you think
about all of
this.
