Senate Chaplain Reveals One Senator Has Led 13 Heads Of State To Jesus Christ
Feb 21, 2017 by Will Maule - HELLO CHRISTIAN
Senate chaplain Barry C. Black has a remarkably interesting job. He is the spiritual counselor and adviser to the Senate, as well as ministering to about 600 others on Capitol Hill. Black, a former admiral in the US Navy, says that many of the senators he works with "dwarf him spiritually," and that some even lead heads of state to Christ. How cool is that!
"We have one senator who has led 13 African heads of state to Jesus Christ," he told CBN News. "I mean I haven't led a single African head of state to Jesus Christ and this senator has been able to do that. You have several ordained ministers in the senate, Yale divinity school, this kind of thing. They bring their spirituality," he said.
Black, a non-partisan figure in the Senate, also believes that the division in America comes from our common enemy. He holds weekly Bible studies for the resident politicians, and get's a big turnout of those seeking to pray for our nation!
"The devil is at working trying to divide us but I'm so glad that in John 17 our Lord in his intercessory prayer, he could have asked the Father anything for believers, he said 'Father make them one, as we are one and if we're united as people of faith, there's absolutely nothing we can't accomplish in his name," he said.
Now, more than ever, it is time to pray, urges black. "We don't grasp the real power of prayer corporately because we are not exercising and the privilege of prayer privately. When we discover in our personal lives, our devotional lives, the power of prayer makes a difference.
First Thessalonians 5:17 says pray without ceasing...that's the only thing God has asked us to do continuously and we don't," he said.
"We're not exercising it. What happens when you start praying without ceasing, which means being constantly aware of the presence of God, is you see the power!"
Share this to encourage others that the hope of Jesus is alive, even in politics!
