>> 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.
