=== Six Hours of Prayer (03:04) ===

[00:00:00]  Can you guys pray?
[00:00:02]  I know the world don't like praying, but we love praying.
[00:00:05]  You know, a lot of people, our president loves prayer.
[00:00:09]  I will never forget.
[00:00:09]  We were, oh, John wasn't doing a show still, so I went to the Kennedy Center for the Faith and Freedom, and I loved it because he went off script for a while, and he just said, let me tell you something.
[00:00:21]  As long as I am president, you will pray, and you can always pray at your football games.
[00:00:27]  You can pray in school.
[00:00:29]  You can pray.
[00:00:30]  And I loved it.
[00:00:31]  I was just like, you go, you go.
[00:00:37]  Whoever thought of making prayer illegal?
[00:00:40]  It's so important that we talk about this because what the other, what he says the fake news does not report is all the legislation that has gone in.
[00:00:51]  The 48 pieces of legislation, the things that have been passed that are funding a Planned Parenthood, the jobs that have come back to our economy.
[00:01:02]  The economy is better than in 17 years.
[00:01:04]  The unemployment rate, the 10,000 jobs that had gone overseas in 18 years that are coming back to America.
[00:01:13]  I mean, the absolute economic stimulation, all that is happening, the religious liberties and freedom, the signing.
[00:01:20]  People don't understand really well what, and this is important.
[00:01:22]  The Johnson amendment was not a pastor's idea.
[00:01:27]  None of us went to him about that.
[00:01:29]  So we were sitting in a meeting when he was campaigning, and it goes way back.
[00:01:34]  I've known our president for 16 years.
[00:01:36]  I'm sure we'll get into that.
[00:01:37]  But in 2011, to show you what I'm...
[00:01:39]  That's the next question, by the way.
[00:01:40]  Yeah.
[00:01:40]  Yes, sir.
[00:01:41]  To show you how much our president loves prayer in 2011, by this time I've had an extended relationship with him.
[00:01:50]  He calls me up and he says, Paul, I'm thinking about running for president.
[00:01:54]  He said, would you bring some men and women of God to really pray?
[00:01:58]  I need to hear from God.
[00:02:00]  Now, he wasn't saying, bring them around because I want to vote or I want this.
[00:02:03]  He said, I really want to hear.
[00:02:05]  So I brought about 30 friends.
[00:02:08]  You know, we went in and we just, we stayed for six hours praying, talking about God, praying, talking about where our nation was, praying.
[00:02:20]  Six hours.
[00:02:20]  This is back in 2011.
[00:02:22]  So the next day he calls me up.
[00:02:24]  He says, what do you think God's saying?
[00:02:26]  I said, I don't believe it's time.
[00:02:29]  I said, let's keep praying.
[00:02:30]  He said, me too.
[00:02:32]  Because he had to make a decision within 24 hours that affected some things with the network and some businesses that he was doing.
[00:02:40]  And so we continued to pray.
[00:02:42]  And he said, Paula, just have the prayer groups pray.
[00:02:46]  And what he was asking was, I really want to do what God has for me.

=== Jim's Never-Shared Anointing (00:30) ===

[00:02:51]  And so many people don't recognize because I've been involved, whether it was from mayors.
[00:02:57]  You've been from way back from President Reagan and before.
[00:03:00]  And I've been involved through almost every administration that I was called on.
[00:03:04]  But it wasn't, it was for a photo op.
[00:03:06]  It was for a donation.
[00:03:07]  It was to get people.
[00:03:08]  It was for political reasons.
[00:03:10]  It was never genuinely, will you pray?
[00:03:13]  I mean, I don't, how do I share all this on Jim?
[00:03:15]  I've never shared this anywhere.
[00:03:17]  There's just an anointing to just open up here.
