A battle is underway that raises questions about who will emerge to lead the Republican Party in Congress.

From CNN. The House Republican Conference is still entrenched in an internal war over whether to reinstate an arcane rule that would empower any member to bring up a vote to oust a speaker at any time.

Connect with others in your state in prayer.

The bitter divide is only heating up and has emerged center stage in House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy’s quest for 218 votes to win the position. For McCarthy’s backers, the so-called motion to vacate is seen as little more than a promise of hostage taking, a tool that could be used by the right flank to hamstring McCarthy’s ability to lead the conference and effectively govern.

“There’s a reason [the motion to vacate] already got debated. You can’t govern with a gun to your head and that is what they are asking for. It makes us highly unstable, and it lays out the potential too for Democrats to take advantage of this and create absolute chaos,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a Texas Republican, told CNN. “There is a reason people are against it. You can scream the word accountability all you want … in the end it’s just a path to chaos, not stability, and we are going to have to be very united and very stable if we are going to govern properly.”

But with just a few weeks before January 3 – the day the House will vote on the floor for their next speaker – the tool may be the only way McCarthy can convince some members to fall in line behind him.

“There is no CEO in the country that doesn’t have accountability. There’s nobody that goes to work every day that doesn’t have accountability. The country can’t wait two years for accountability,” Rep. Scott Perry, a conservative Republican from Pennsylvania, told reporters, about why he wants to see the motion to vacate reinstated.

South Carolina Republican Rep. Ralph Norman, who is opposed to McCarthy’s speakership, acknowledged that McCarthy has previously said he is against the idea of resorting the motion to vacate, but said, “everything is on the table.” …

Asked by CNN if he’s made any headway with members who are insisting on the rules change the chair for their support, McCarthy said Tuesday: “I think we’ve been making a lot of progress.” …

McCarthy still doesn’t have the votes to be the next speaker of the House, raising questions as to whether Republicans may go to the floor on January 3 unsure if the votes will be there to elect McCarthy as speaker.

Real Clear Politics reported: Kevin McCarthy predicted that five members of the House Republican Caucus who are holding up his bid to become the next Speaker of the House will come around by January 3 when the new session of Congress begins.

“I do not think at the end of the day that five Republicans will hold up our opportunity to secure the border,” McCarthy told FNC’s Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer on Wednesday morning.

I think that President Trump should be Speaker of the House. He surely can speak! And he loves God. What more qualifications does one need?

Every time the republicans get in power they always end up fighting about who is going to be in charge. They can never come to an agreement. It is so comical, they defeat themselves.
Pray that they will wake up in time to accomplish something.

Find a Godly person to be speaker who will abide by the rules set forth by the founders of the Constitution. A person who will not conform to being bribed and afraid to speak the truth.

We have had enough of cowtowing to the liberal people who want to tear this country apart.

God will be in charge, not man.

We don’t need Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker. It is time for a sweep of the establishment Republicans and put someone like Jim Jordan in that post.

    You are so right Bruce. I already notified the RNC, if McConnell, McCarthy and McDaniels are re-elected to the positions they currently hold I will withdraw my membership of the Republican party. I will be an independent. These three people, along with so many others, do not uphold the Republican platform. They are almost as bad as the democrats. I have been long term fed up with the establishment, deep state republicans and this includes Mike Pence.

This is nothing new. Politics as usual. Satan, your influence over the Republican party and their squabbles is made null and void, by the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

I wish our party would be united. I often refer to Matthew 12:25 “‘Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand” or Abraham Lincoln’s ““A house divided against itself cannot stand.” We must come together.

Prophet Clement prophesied that “GOD wasn’t pleased with the Democrats nor with the Republicans”. At that time I could see WHY GOD would be displeased with the democrats but the republicans – I didn’t understand because of Trump. Back then I didn’t know what a “RINO” was but now I do. McCarthy is a RINO and the GOP need change. Same leadership with the same dismal results won’t cut it. The RINOS were instrumental in sabotaging the “red wave” during the primaries & the mid term’s because of their dislike for Trump. JESUS said it: “a divided house/kingdom cannot stand” Mark 3:23-27 – time to clean house; time for change, new wine skins 🔥😇💯🇺🇸

    Amen. Just remember Trump was appointed by God. RINOs are trying to destroy God’s plan. They are Globalist just like the democrats. They have an agenda to destroy USA.

This post was from cnn. The “CORRUPT” News Network. Just one of the many “fake” news organizations in America. Their Godless and as far away from any form of righteousness as anyone could be.
I would not trust “cnn” on any topic whatsoever unless their talking about the satan they serve.
I pray that the Spirit of our living God would encamp at their doorstep and that anyone and everyone that has anything to do with them would get radically saved.
Let it be so Lord.
Until this happens I wouldn’t waste one second listening to anything they have to say and now I have to repent for even reading this post that began with,
from ”cnn”.

    I could not agree with you more! Why on earth is this article being written with, first off, RINO Dan Crenshaw and him speaking with CNN? Ha! Lord have mercy any Republican who is able to get a word in with CNN is NOT on the side of righteousness. If we have learned anything it is that. I’m in Tx, Crenshaw is not for We The People. Truth is, it’s hard to tell which Republicans really are.
    I know there are some and names do come to mind but Dan Crenshaw is not one of them. Praise God that He keeps exposing the left and the right!
    To Him be the Glory!

      True statement Melissa… I was so disappointed to learn that Crenshaw was a RINO too … fooled me!
      Keep praying!

Father, I ask for a spirit of unity to fall upon the Republican House members, and upon those who love and serve You in the House of Representatives. A house divided against itself will fall. It cannot stand. Lord, there has been a lack of positive motion and unity in this organization for years. You are the only One Who can bring about change. You know who should be speaker of the House, for that person is in line for the Presidency should something happen to both the Pres and Vice President. Put a spotlight on that person, Lord. Let that person find favor with You and with his/her colleagues. Make it clear. Lord, help the Republicans take this matter to prayer. Cause men and women to turn to You for assistance. Jan. 3 is closing in. Thank You, Lord, for Your help in this matter. Amen.
