A report from a Pastor Joe Kirkwood from Amarillo, Texas, who had an unusual opportunity to be in a group of pastors from across the nation had been invited to meet with Christians who hold office in the U.S. government.  Through this man's experience we hope you will hear a fresh call to prayer. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Washington was incredible in so many ways.
I was first given a tour of the White House where I was told by secret service agents not to pray out loud, but I could pray silently as we went along through the house.   Over the mantel in one room is the "White House Prayer".   It says something like "May all who live in this House abide to live in righteousness and moral character".    I was then taken to the top of the Washington Monument to find a souvenir shop run by the Masonic lodge.   The shelves were filled with books on the Masonic lodge.   As you could imagine I began prayer on top of the monument.   
The next morning I had dinner with 30 "born again" US Congressmen.  These men shared how they are desperate for our prayers.  Many of them privately told me of how lonely they were.    They felt like they could talk to no one without the danger of it appearing in the Press.   Some of the congressmen told me with tears in their eyes of how women had been hired to seduce the Christian Congressmen so they could be caught in compromising situations.    
One Congressman said that because he voted to impeach the President, he was threatened by people inside the White House.  This man is a Spirit-filled believer and was then in a battle to hold his seat in congress.   He told us that he had even suffered night mares of losing his children and family.    When he told us this we stopped and laid hands on him in prayer.   During all of these sessions we became very close.   Our purpose was to talk about "Separation of Church and State," but we found our dialogue more on giving these Christian Congressmen encouragement.  You could sense that many of them felt like giving up.  One of the main topics of discussion was the upcoming election.   I was told that the next President would most likely appoint three new Supreme Court Justices, but were now being told it would most likely be four new Justices appointed.  (election of 2000) They told us that the Christian vote nationwide had dropped in the last two years by 20%.  Each Congressman who spoke to us begged us to call Christians to pray and to vote!
The day following 'one on one' discussion with members on congress was the most exciting.    We were escorted by guard to the Supreme Court.  Chief Justice William Renquist granted us a visit in a private room at the Supreme Court Building.  The room which few people ever lay their eyes on was covered literally in 24 karat Gold.   I have been all over Europe, but have never seen anything like it and (pictures were not  allowed).   Before Chief  Justice Renquist arrived several of us were selected to ask him  direct questions.   I was one of three people given this great opportunity.   Chief Justice Renquist is probably the second  most powerful man in the world.    Even several members  of Congress said that they had never personally seen or met Judge Renquist.  It was a little overwhelming to say the least.  Finally after some waiting an old figure of a man appeared at the door.   Immediately everyone (about 30 people) including congressmen rose to their feet and began to applaud this conservative man who has led the fight for morality.   As I was standing there applauding and feeling a little intimidated I had a glimpse of how powerful our Lord and Savior Really is.   Even Judge Renquist will one day bow His Knee before Christ and yet Jesus is my best friend.   This revelation helped me when I stood to ask him my question!
Chief Justice Renquist is very concerned about America.    Many of the decisions for righteousness of late have been lost by a five to four vote.   It was easy to sense the loneliness in Judge Renquist eyes.   Three years ago his wife passed away and it has been hard for him to recover from it.  Who does this man confide in?   Most who know him say he is a forced recluse.   We all had a time of prayer while at the Supreme Court.   While inside the Courtroom you can see on the wall the face of Moses (first law giver) holding the Ten Commandments.    It was hard to imagine how this nation has drifted so far from the Bible!
Dick Armey told me that the election of 2000 was to be the most crucial election in the entire history of the United States.   Several others confirmed it as well.
In conclusion I beg each and every Christian to P.U.S.H. (PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS)
In His Service

the call to prayer is no less compelling.
