"Behind President Bush were the Prayers of the Saints propelling him forward, as he shook his head in determination. President Bush then said to this Monstrous Storm called 'Rita' -- 'Not on my Watch!'"

Steve Shultz: "I saw myself 'spiritually' covering President Bush, almost as the Secret Service might cover him . . . Last night on my drive home, I called my "chief" intercessor Lisa Doyle. In our conversations, we both discovered we'd suddenly felt led to be highly protective in prayer of our President, George W. Bush. . .almost like a mother bear is protective of her cubs. I saw myself "spiritually" covering President Bush, almost as the Secret Service might cover him if there were shots being fired. Only, the shots I saw fired were both from the Church (from those who disagreed with some of his decisions) and from those who were against him based on their political stance.From the mind and heart of God, protecting the President in prayer is the same, whether you're protecting him from well-meaning Christians (who are speaking against Him), protecting him from those who are against him anyway, or protecting him in prayer from those that would even physically harm him.I believe with all that is within me that our president is a praying man, and he is FOR the United States of America, like few other presidents before him. But know this, I would feel called by God . . . I just know it . . . to pray for our president, even if he or she was someone I disagreed with.We are told to pray for Kings and all in authority, and personally -- almost selfishly -- I'd prefer not to reap the "withdrawing of God's Grace" that some will have to experience because they are speaking evil against an authority (in this case, the President and Mrs. Bush) whom God has placed at the top of the most powerful country in the world.We should also pray for every other leader that God places on our hearts in every other country that God places on our hearts.Finally, I feel led to point out and pray that the wisest and most brilliant counselor President Bush has is his own wife, Laura Bush. What she brings to this country through her counseling of the President -- her own husband -- will one day only be known in eternity. Please pray without ceasing for both President and Mrs. Bush. This prayer is not based on agreement nor disagreement with certain policies, but because "God said so" to us. With that in mind, Lisa sent me a write-up of what she was seeing recently, as we compared notes with one another last night (and from the last few weeks). May God bless President and Mrs. Bush, and may God bless America! Steve Shultz THE ELIJAH LIST

P.S. During the reign of another president, before this one, I used to hear people speak the most vile and unkind things toward him. I noticed that almost everyone of these people, their marriages were suffering as they spoke against this man in authority. I began to observe that grace was withdrawn (seemingly) from their lives and marriages for a season, almost as though it were connected to their reviling of authorities that were placed over us in this country. I would say, "let the reader be exhorted."

President Bush then said to this Monstrous Storm called 'Rita' -- 'Not on my Watch!' -- Lisa Doyle

LISA DOYLE: In my earlier conversations last week with Steve Shultz via email and telephone, I felt strongly that the forecasted devastation of Hurricane Rita could be lessened through the power of prayer. Later, I found out that this was in agreement with what many other prophetic voices were speaking at the same time. This is part of what I experienced and saw last week and over the weekend. In a vision, I saw the Father bending His ear from Heaven to listen to the response of this nation in reference to the impending devastation of Hurricane Rita. Heaven was most certainly poised, listening and waiting for our response and then, for the response of the Father as He looked down upon His saints.Then, what I saw was President Bush leading an army of prayer warriors. This army of prayer warriors, commissioned as the Saints of God, were composed of all types and gender, known and unknown, great and small (although, those that saw themselves as small were very large in the sight of the Lord, and in fact carried some of the greatest weight in Heaven). Their cadence of this army was firm and strong. And their songs, their prayers, their cries, and their focus was this as they humbly, yet determinedly marched in unison to petition before the Throne of God on behalf of the region and to set up a prayer shield around the people, their families, their property, and their possessions.
"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now, My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments, then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, 'You shall never fail to have a man as ruler in Israel.'" -- 2 Chronicles 7:14-18 NKJV

The President's Cry for Mercy

As the vision further continued, I then looked again to President Bush, and I saw that he was focused and determined and that his jaw was set like flint, as he headed toward the gulf region. Behind President Bush were the prayers of the saints, propelling him forward, as he shook his head in determination. President Bush said to this Monstrous Storm -- called "Rita" -- "Not on my Watch!"
Momentarily, I then flashed to a secret place where I saw our President on his knees, behind closed doors, humbly praying and asking the Lord to spare the already devastated areas of the gulf region, impacted by Hurricane Katrina. "Mercy!" he cried out for, as a tears gently cascaded down his cheeks. Next, I became aware that many leaders in high governmental positions (national, state, and local elected; appointed; and contracted positions), within our military, those in the media, businessmen, and women had joined in prayer, meek and the broken, and were on bended knee crying out for mercy, grace, and for the love of God to move in and intervene on behalf of this nation. I then bore witness with the spirit of God, that salvation had gone forth, that there were many who had given their life over to Jesus Christ, and many that had rededicated their lives for the purpose of the Kingdom. A number of these were within our government, political arenas, big businesses, and military. God had moved strategically and miraculously behind the scenes.Suddenly, I saw that George Bush and all the saints of God had gotten the attention of Heaven. I then saw the Father, the Great Ancient of Days, sitting upon His Throne. He looked down from Heaven, and He bent down as He pointed His finger towards the gulf. A command and a shout went out from Heaven, anointed with the power of God to diminish and lessen the storm called Rita. Angelic Hosts were released to divinely help those still in harm's way and to help administer heavenly anointing, heavenly provision and heavenly help during the continued rescue efforts and rebuilding for those who had suffered from Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita.

The Bowls of Incense Poured Out on the Earth

Future miracles were released, specifically in the areas of rebuilding, financial healing, physical healing (many who have had no resources for medical aid before the storms will now), cleansing, and deliverance of land to be use to release His Glory more fully on the earth. The poor, the meek, and the brokenhearted had found favor with the Lord, and no longer would they be the last. But instead, they would be the first in line to receive the benefits, aides, and provision being released at this prophetic moment in time.A knowing within my spirit told me, "Clearly, the Saints of God and President Bush had found favor with the Lord and that the bowls of incense, which are the prayers of the saints, were filled in Heaven and were now being poured out further upon the earth, in a greater way."
Although we do not fully understand it, we know that through these two hurricanes, more of the Lord's Glory is being released within this nation, as a foretaste of the great reformation and revival to come. And some of you are already experiencing this around you. You may be beginning to see the ever increasing birth pains.
Please Saints, continue to pray. Heaven needs your prayers to help continue to fill the bowls of incense. In short, I believe the Lord has revealed that this impending reformation and revival of the "Church at Large" will be greater than all the accumulations of past revivals; this nation has a call to help lead it.

"What is it That You Desire?"

As this part of the vision began to fade, I then heard a call from Heaven, an intercession call, on behalf of President Bush, his Family, and those areas that the Lord has given him charge over. Please agree with me in prayer, for that which the Lord was revealing through the vision and also for the protection and safety of him and his family, during this very strategic time. The following is what I witnessed and heard. First and foremost, I heard that George Bush had found FAVOR in the sight of the Lord and that He was well pleased with him for his heart of repentance and love, his efforts, his diligence, his strength and stamina in the midst of trial, and for his unwavering heart of love for the American people. I was then reminded of the scripture listed above from Chronicles where the Lord was speaking to Solomon; as I pondered this, I again saw President George Bush in his secret place, humbly before the Lord in prayer.
I then saw the Lord gently whisper a question to the heart of the President: "What is that you desire George?" Instead of asking for anything of himself, his heart cried out for mercy; grace; protection to spare us in the midst of storms, trouble, and war; for a healing; a restoration; and deliverance of his country, the United States of America.
This prayer was so pure and so selfless; it moved upon the Lord's heart of compassion on behalf of this nation. This humble prayer also released a gift and new talents in untold proportions to President Bush.

Gifts, Anointings, and Talents Were Poured Out

The gift released was wisdom, much like Solomon was anointed with, yet at a greater proportion. And the talents released were specifically in the areas of economic budgeting and stability and negotiating with world leaders -- in the areas of energy related matters, with an emphasis on oil. I heard that George Bush would help solve the energy crisis and current and impending oil shortages.

"And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore. Thus Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men--than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations. He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five. Also he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree of Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish. And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, came to hear the wisdom of Solomon." -- 1 Kings 4:29-34 NKJV
"So the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together." -- 1 Kings 5:12 NKJV

Other areas of anointing, talent, and expertise I saw released to President Bush were:

1. Strategic military strategy to help root out and expose terrorist groups and activities.
2. Discernment and wisdom in reference to nuclear arms. I saw the Lord bringing allies to help in this arena, especially in reference to North Korea.
3. I saw what you would call a serendipity anointing released to President Bush. where he would inadvertently fall into key and strategic pieces of information. at a national and international level. that would expose those against this nation, Israel, England, Switzerland, and other allies.
Serendipity: an apparent aptitude for making prosperous discoveries accidentally.
4. Wisdom to help guide and direct this nation in issues, such as same sex marriage, abortion, healthcare reform, border control, Social Security tax reform, tax reform, budgeting, arms control, and education, to name a few.
5. Unity anointing released to President Bush to be disbursed throughout this nation and internationally. I saw the Lord anoint President Bush's mouth, much like the coal being touched to the lips (Isaiah 6), to speak forth the Lord's heart that would captivate, soften, and turn some of the most harden of hearts toward the things of the Lord and His will.
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing -- life forevermore." -- Psalm 133:1-3 NKJV
6. Favor with the military and governmental elected officials within this nation and internationally, with a special emphasis on Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, Japan, China, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, North and South Korea, France, Germany, and Russia.
7. Above all, that he would be filled with the love of Jesus Christ and a light to shine into the most darkest of places.
"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." -- Matthew 5:14 NKJV

A Presidency Like None Before Him

I then saw the approval rating of the President in Heaven reach the maximum. President Bush had captured the Heart of the Father, and the Father approved of His son George. And with the American people, I saw his approval rating begin to climb in his Presidency and into the years that followed. Finally, the Lord allowed me to view the President's performance through historical accounts, and in these historical accounts, unwritten as yet, it marked President Bush as one of the most successful, capable, compassionate, caring, and loving Presidents in our Nation's History. He was known as a man who would not waver and a man of his word, who knew how to love much and knew how to demonstrate that love on a global level. President Bush, much like he stepped and took authority over Hurricane Rita, powered by Heaven and the prayers of the saints, has the anointing, the talent, and the resources to help bring the glory of the Lord to America, in an unprecedented and significant way -- especially in the areas of governmental and political arenas, big business, media, and our military -- during the remainder of His Presidency and well into the years that follow. Please agree with me in prayer that the Lord will truly pour out His tender loving goodness and kindness upon President George Bush and that he would fulfill all that the Lord has for him to do.
