3) The Oneness Pentecostal (UPCI) can't possible be pleased and think God was in this gathering? ..... Or can they?
4) The Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, etc can't be real excited about it. It was Pentecostal, for the most part, through and through!
5) Did the Pentecostal, Charismatic votes overcome those who would have been turned off by the physical worship, jumping, shouting to some extent, and on the floor with faces on the concrete?
6) Maybe Perry truly wasn't looking for votes! Maybe his spiritual concerns were greater than his political needs! I don't know. We will probably find out in the days that lie ahead.
7) I do know this, Rick Perry seemed so very sincere and I give him the benefit of the doubt! His statements and prayer were very forceful! Yet they probably won't receive much acclaim in the political world.
Much of the Master of Ceremonies duties were conducted by Doug Stringer, www.dougstringer.org.
Also, please allow me a moment to complain about the music. I am not saying this just to be critical. But, during some of the prayers you could not hear the speakers for the loud music, (drums and bass guitar, in particular) playing too loud in the background. And I'm not a fan of contemporary music, but todays was the worst. I've never heard so many songs with 5 or 6 words, repeated over and over and over and over and over and over.... oh, sorry I got carried away!
Another thing that I thought was unusual, was as I was going in, there was an airplane over head, pulling a banner that said something like this... "Gov. We don't want the church mixed with politics!"
So that's kinda how I saw it. Maybe this is the beginning of something wonderful, but for this forum, how can that be when these folks are not "Apostolic?"

Who knows, and at least someone in politics is trying to do something that could benefit our nation. As for the plane, are Governor's not allowed freedom of religion? The music, sometimes happens like that in big gatherings.

And please believe me I am not judging whether God heard this today with approval or not! I'm just saying that some of the arguments that have gone on on AFF would almost prohibit some making those arguments from approving The Response!
I would be interested in some of the UC's response!

Re: The RESPONSE LIVE IN HOUSTON,TEXAS
Please don't take my previous post as totally negative. I have mixed emotions about what I saw and experienced.
We need a new president and many are saying Rick Perry is gonna run! I just wonder if he gained votes today or lost more than he gained?
I guess I also question in my mind as to what degree this meeting was "Spiritual" or "Political!" And I guess what I really would like to know is how Gov. Perry would define that issue.
What a time we live in! Is Rick Perry our answer for the times? I guess we'll see!

BT, I don't think there is anybody that can change our country but God. Once elected they all seem to have the same problems, because they can't agree on anything. So one man can't change anything, President or not. I guess we will have to wait to see if Perry is going to run to find out if he is our answer.

I agree. But, this is a unique approach that Perry is undertaking! Will it work? Only God knows. Is God pleased with it? Only God knows! I can't remember anyone else starting, (if he is) his campaign with a day of prayer!
So much is happening it's hard to keep up with it all!
What will Wall Street do Monday? Will we enter a greater depression than we have known before? Only God knows!

I agree, and I guess it's time to find out if we are going to put our trust in man or God.
