In a recent interview, our new speaker Mike Johnson shared that the Bible entirely defines his worldview. Praise God!

From Business Insider. Newly empowered Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said in a recent interview that the best way to learn how he feels about “any issue under the sun” is to read the Bible.

Who is praying on the wall?

 

Johnson’s comments were made during an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News on Thursday.

“I am a Bible-believing Christian,” Johnson said. “Someone asked me today in the media, they said, ‘It’s curious, people are curious: What does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun?’ I said, ‘Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That’s my worldview.'” …

In his first speech on the House floor as speaker, Johnson told the crowded gallery what he said he told the GOP caucus the night before he was elected.

“I don’t believe there are any coincidences in a matter like this,” Johnson said. “I believe that scripture, the Bible, is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority. He raised up each of you. All of us. And I believe that God has allowed and ordained each and every one of us to be here at this specific moment.” …

Prior to his time in Congress, Johnson worked for the Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal advocacy group …

The natural way Johnson easily, lovingly, honestly, and definitely addresses questions is an example for us to be bold in the strength of the Lord. He reflects Jesus’ temperament so beautifully from years spending time with Him!

I’m praying for God to promote righteous leaders and demote wicked ones. Psalm 75 is in effect.
If GOD’S people will humble themselves, pray, repent HE will hear us and save our land. It’s up to us. I have, LORD cause us to do it.

I thank you God for this miracle of a godly Speaker, who came forth out of the background, whom you knew is your man for the job.
I pray for you to empower him in his decision making and give him your wisdom and give him success in all his ways. Protect him and his family from any evil and from anyone trying to hurt them in any way. Thank you so much for giving us hope to see goodness in our land.

I was crushed when we lost Kevin McCarthy as Speaker. Then, I prayed with all my strength for Jim Jordan to be Speaker, but told Father I also liked Steve Scalise. Last, I knew none but Byron Donalds of FL, admired him, so prayed for him. But this time, I told Father I wanted HIS will not mine, since HE knew everything about everyone and I didn’t. I just wanted the best man for the job, and knew Father knew who that was.

How IMPRESSED I was to hear Mike Johnson speak. Phoned my brother, retired doctor in St. Augustine Beach, FL and he and his wife were just as impressed as I was to learn of this Christian brother Mike Johnson. So Mike, “Giv’em Heaven!

It truly is a miracle and blessing. Let us not grow weak and continue to pray for Mr. Johnson, all our congressman for wisdom and discernment. Pray for Israel and our Nation under God. Amen Amen❤️🙏

🙏✝️ I’m ELATED how God worked and raised up a Bible- Believing Conservative leader with UNANIMOUS votes in a VERY contentious House of Representatives and Named him SPEAKER!

And thank you God for using Matt Gaetz , to take a hard, unpopular stand that lead to opening the door for such a Godly Speaker! NOTHING short of YOUR MIRACULOUS HAND LORD! WhAT a THRILL to witness…✝️🙏

We Prayer Warriors will continue our prayer mission for our Godly leaders, and WILL NOT STOP!

Even I can see that the hand of God is on this-, raising up of Congressman Mike Johnson and it cannot be more obvious-,that at least for myself ..I am finally coming to a place where deep within myself I am finally learning- I guess, and accepting that the Lord Moves In Our Lives.
All too often when times get hard my prayer life wanes ..and I get weary ..but I know the Lord is drawing us back to himself.. and his plan is unfolding. Thank you Lord for continuing to draw us unto yourself and teaching us who you are.. and how you move amongst us in the events and Days of Our Lives.
In the mighty name of Jesus, – amen

Praising the Lord Jesus! Excellent interview!
Joining in prayer on the prayer points from the Holy Spirit through Ms. Dunbar for Speaker Mike Johnson to walk in strength tempered in grace, to boldly speak forth truth, and that his words will be a beacon of hope to the nation.
I think the interview displays God’s answer! I know my hope is restored! Let us join Speaker Johnson in humble prayer for him and each other. He need not be alone on his knees, especially as he gets to work on all of these issues.

We thank God that He has heard our cries for a conservative Christian to be chosen to this place in our government. May he continue to stand for Biblical principles and may He have the mind of Christ as he leads the House of Representatives! I pray for courage and strength and Divine leadership for him in these coming days.

I had all but given up on our government and even began to question if God had given us up to our own demise, until I learned that an obscure, humble and Godly man had been chosen to lead the House of Representatives. I had even stopped praying for our leaders, convinced that the majority of them were foolish and only interested in preserving their own interest. (Now, I am the foolish one.) With Mike Johnson being chosen (and I use chosen because I believe that he was chosen by God, not elected by men), my faith has been energized. Thank you God for giving us hope in your mercy and grace.

Thank you Lord God Almighty, please give Mr. Johnson strength and endurance through these dark days in our country 🙏! He was hand picked by you and have him always represent you and just maybe turn this country around, giving God the glory for everything instead of ourselves through humble prayer!

Father, i pray that Speaker Johnson’s faith be sincere and mature, may he hear your voice always and walk in obedience, in the spirit, may he be a great national and world influencer for You, may he make decisions that honor you and are good and wise to build up our nation, to rebuild the areas that were weakened and torn down by the Biden adminstration. May he make decisions that build up and protect oyr economy, our sovereignty, that honor our constitution. May he be a man who knows and lives and meditates in your word, a man of prayer and worship, a role model for Christ among his political peers in politics and in the public eye, in his private and public life. In Jesus name we ask and believe you to hear us and answer our prayers. Thank you.

I rejoiced to hear Speaker Johnson say that the Bible is my worldview. Our God is on the throne in Heaven and he hears when we acknowledge His name and His WORD. Important times and grave situations are before our congress. So good to know men and women of integrity are speaking out for God and righteousness in our nation and for His people, Isreal.

First of all, I thank God for raising up Mike Johnson to the office of Speaker of the House.
This is a critical office which carries mighty influence. God is working to raise our fallen nation back to its former position of leader of the free world, and shake off the bonds of godlessness, wokeness, and ignorance.
I pray a hedge of protection around Speaker Johnson that he would always be protected from the fiery darts of the evil one. I pray that God would continuously pour out His Spirit on the Speaker and keep him full of wisdom and boldness.,

Absolutely! Almighty God, Abba WILL have His way! Mr. Johnson is God’s Man for such a time as this; however! God has given us a precious gift in this Speaker. It is incumbent upon us, as Believers, to Intercede for he and his family, stand in the gap and speak life into his speakership. Also praying House Republicans, and the House of Representatives as a whole. And the Senate. God can and will change minds and hearts as we pray.

Father,
We thank You that in your mercy and grace, You have raised up a “Champion” like David to take the position as Speaker of the House, for such a time as this.

Father bring unity to Congress without compromise. Give Speaker Johnson the wisdom of Solomon, the strategy and boldness of David and Josiah, and favor in leadership. Let many wrongs and injustices begin to be overturned. Let Congress clearly stand on and support our Constitution as it is written.

Restore integrity in our voting system in America and allow congress to pass laws that only Americans can vote in our elections. Restore strong immigration laws.

Let Congress clearly demonstrate we Stand “STRONG” with our ally Israel and show that support by withholding money from Israel’s enemies, while offering resources, technology, manpower and weapons needed for Israel to defend itself during this crucial time.

We ask in Jesus name. Amen

Thanks be to God for this man!
The Republicans need to get rid of their rule that says, “If one person in the Republican Party is opposed to the new leader, that leader can be removed.” Pray that that rule is taken off the party’s guidelines.

Praise you, Lord!! You have spoken into the hearts and minds of Congress to elect a God-fearing leader of the house of representatives. I ask You to convict each member to carefully consider and seek what you would have them support and not support as they are voting on very important decisions. I pray that you give wisdom and courage to Mike Johnson. He is going to face opposition from so many places, and in so many ways. May the Holy Spirit within him, reach out to touch all of Congress, and unify them in thought and purpose. Protect him from evil. In Jesus name amen
