Prophecy for Sarah Palin
October 2, 2008
Strang Report
by Steve Strang
If
you're like me, you'll be glued to the television tonight to watch the
first vice- presidential debate, which is being held at Washington
University in St. Louis, Mo. The 90-minute debate between Gov. Sarah
Palin and Sen. Joe Biden will begin at 9 p.m. EST and will be broadcast
on all major television networks.
I've publicly endorsed Sen.
John McCain and Sarah Palin, so you know for whom I will be rooting.
I've reported in the Strang Report how unfair the media has been to
Gov. Palin, even ridiculing her Pentecostal background. Now we've
learned that tonight's moderator, Gwen Ifill of PBS, has written a
pro-Obama book. So much for objectivity.
This is a call to pray
for Sarah Palin. Read the incredible prophecy quoted below that is
going around the Internet. At the end I tell about attending a huge
Palin rally in Florida 10 days ago. Below, read about an important new
book we just published by Perry Stone.
Pastor Mark Arnold in
Lebanon, Ohio, wrote this true account. He first sent it out to a small
handful of friends and relatives, never dreaming that, thanks to
e-mail, it would travel around the world. As of today, he's heard back
from 50 states, 36 nations, and several major Christian ministries and
news networks, and he has received more than 11,800 e-mails.
When
Arnold 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
involved in the affairs of the nation and not sleep through this season
as the church did when believers allowed prayer to be removed from
schools.
Pastor Mark Arnold of Lebanon, Ohio, writes:
On
Sept. 9, the McCain/Palin bus came through a little town called
Lebanon, Ohio. The Lord allowed me to go to the rally [to give McCain
and Palin] a message that He wanted me to personally deliver.
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 [Sarah Palin]. He
has called her for this time! I promised God that I would pray and hold
them up in prayer. I would “listen” out and be mindful of where they
were. 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 on 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, [but] 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 sure 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!” Here is where the bus was going to actually
pull up to. 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 [the] sensitivity
of the Internet, I can't share much of the story. As to what happened
next, [it] was a definite God thing all the way.
Looking over the shoulders and backs and heads of all those 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 [to] bring the other Scouts up front as
they try 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 pic with them and they would talk to
her.
When McCain came to hug her … 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 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 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 to have 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.

My
own experience of hearing Gov. Palin speak at The Villages about 80
miles north of my home near Orlando on Sept. 21 was not nearly as
dramatic. It was a hot Sunday afternoon, and we went two hours early
and waited in the heat for Palin to come. Estimates of the crowd range
from 30,000 to 60,000. It was impossible to know for certain how many
were there because it was in a “town center” area, and people were up
and down the streets in all directions.
I was able to get near
only a large-screen TV, not the stage, and my wife and I settled down
in our portable chairs to watch. The crowd was so thick you couldn't
move around to look for a better place. From our vantage point you
couldn't even see the stage, and we never saw Sarah Palin or her family
except on the large screen. But it was interesting to see the level of
excitement for her candidacy.
Now it will be interesting to see how the debate goes tonight. Be sure to add your thoughts in the blog below.
