We Get In The Way By Voting Into Office Godly Elected Officials.
“One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts” (Psalm 145:4).
The MOST IMPORTANT ELECTED or selected position of authority in our nation isn’t the presidential, congressional, judicial, gubernatorial, supervisorial, mayoral or councilorial position in our country, the states, the counties or the cities.The most important position of authority and influence in our nation is that of local School Board Trustee.
Without writing a book on the subject, let me say that, in 1973 and again in 1983, the secular humanists declared, “Every child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill, BECAUSE he comes to school with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, toward elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a Supernatural Being, toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It’s up to you teachers to make all these sick children well by creating the international children of the future.”
AND, “The battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith…the classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new–the rotting corpse of Christianity…and the new faith of Humanism.”
There are millions of great teachers. I know several. They each have very positive effects on school children. But it’s the School Board members we must keep an eye on. Secular Humanism is the religion of America in 2022. The mind of Man is more important than the mind of God in this day and age.
School trustees who accept the new (actually old) faith of Humanism must be voted out and replaced by those men and women who follow the one true God and believe in Biblical Creationism rather than Secular Humanism. Because the humanists actually believe that human beings are just animals and not created in God’s image. Therefore, to them, it is OK to kill baby humans in the womb, to sexually exploit children, to turn them into haters of God, parents, America, and everyone or everything that goes against Secular Humanism.
So…it’s up to us to get in the way of Secular Humanism (which includes and not limited to communism, Nazism, Marxism, socialism and totalitarianism), and protect today’s generation of youth and young people. Part of this protection will be the electing of school board trustees who both love and follow the LORD.

A NO BUMMER SUMMER
Local, State and National Cross Walking Campaigns all summer long. “Because Everybody Ought To Know Who Jesus Is!
A Beautiful City With A Population Of One Million Souls.
After an amazing cross walk and combat prayer time in San Francisco, Jeanette and I headed for San Jose, about 45 minutes from the City By The Bay. This would be my second time cross walking and praying for San Jose and its one million residents, and I looked forward to revisiting a city I had ministered to many times throughout the 14-years we had lived in the Bay area.
Many believers live in San Jose, and this was apparent as I parked Go-Ye-Mobile-2 and began unloading the 10-foot, 60-pound cross. I take my time unloading the cross because people are always curious as to what I’m doing.
GOD’S PLUS SIGN TO SAN JOSE
The Young Man Liked The Signs On Go-Ye-Mobile-2 And Especially The “JESUS IS THE LOVE OF GOD Banner.
“That’s a big cross!” A pleasant voice filled the air. “Yes it is,” I replied as I looked at the young man who had stopped to talk. “Going to pray for San Jose,” I shared. The young man nodded. “That’s so cool. Thank you for doing that.” We talked for a couple of minutes. I handed him the special 2-sided tracts made for this special cross walk. “God loves all the people living in San Jose. Praying for Great Revival to spread across the entire city.” The young man smiled. “We sure need it!” I agreed. “Yes, every city needs it!” I answered.
He waved good-by and went on his way, reading the tracts I had given him as he walked. I headed for my first destination: City Hall. Read the rest of this entry »
From mid-1978 to 1982 I was Executive Director of This San Francisco-based Men’s Center And Saw Hundreds Of Men Receive New Life In Christ!
After cross walking and praying long and hard at Sacramento and the state Capitol Mall, we headed for San Francisco, a city Jeanette and I were very familiar with. In 1978 I had accepted the Executive Director position at San Francisco Teen Challenge Men’s Center after working as Associate Director for Kern County (Bakersfield) Teen Challenge for three and one-half years.
For another three and one half years I worked alongside a great team of men dedicated to helping drug addicts and other troubled individuals completely give up drugs and discover a brand new life in Christ Jesus!
In November 2015 I had brought the large cross to San Francisco and prayed long and hard for Great Revival, Great Awakening and Great Godly Sorrow Leading to Genuine Repentance to break out among the city’s 875,000 souls.
A CITY STILL IN GREAT NEED OF REVIVAL AND AWAKENING
It Really Came As No Surprise That Many Individuals Were Happy To See The Large Cross Hoisted Up At City Hall, As Well As Hearing My Loud And Long Prayer For San Francisco.
Seven years later, here I was again! As I walked the cross to my destination (City Hall), memories from the past filled my mind.
Although I didn’t have the time to visit the Teen Challenge Center, pleasant thoughts and memories flashed across my mind. The street I was walking on was very familiar, and I remembered the special times our street ministry had ministered to the individuals living in this area, as well as other Districts comprising San Francisco. Back then, souls came to Jesus often as we shared God’s Good News In Christ and handed out tracts.
And now, as I headed toward the huge City Hall structure, I wondered what the response would be. In 2015 the response had been amazing. Seven years later, the answer to my pondering was swift.
People came up and asked for prayer. Individuals smiled big as they passed by. Security officers nodded in agreement as I prayed long and loud for the city’s 875,000 souls. And the presence of the LORD felt powerful and near-at-hand. The area around me seemed surrounded by a large invisible bubble shield of divine protection.
And yet…there was also an evil presence that seemed desperate to burst past the bubble shield and disrupt the combat prayer going up for this International city. Though response was very positive, an underlying demonic presence caught my attention and my prayer turned toward rebuking the Satanic forces attempting to thwart the power of the LORD from penetrating the spiritual darkness and filling the city with God’s presence.

The “Circuit Cross Walker” And Large Cross Beneath The Circuit Rider Memorial.
I couldn’t help but smile as I posed with the large cross beneath The Circuit Rider memorial, which commemorates “the labors and achievements of the ministers of the Gospel, who as circuit riders became the friends, counselors and evangels to the pioneers on every American frontier and symbolic of the many missionaries who came to Oregon.”
God is greater than all the demonic and humanic forces which tried to destroy the city of Portland in 2020 and the Satanic forces of evil that have attempted to keep Salem and especially the state’s political leaders in bondage to lawlessness and corruption. What He was doing now in these and other cities proves His great love for the state’s four million residents.
Of course, I will return to Oregon. This modern-day “circuit cross walker” understands that we must constantly pray for and lift up the people of America and its 50 states, else Satan and his demonic and humanic minions will try hard to undermine the work of God.
But now it was time to journey to northern California and to a city that I have also cross walked and prayed long and hard for three times. Read the rest of this entry »
Reaching Entire Cities For God.
America’s revival is our ongoing mission. After taking the 10-foot, 60-pound cross to all 50 state capitals and states between 2015 and 2020 and praying hard and long at each capital, God had directed us to begin taking the cross to America’s major cities.
Response in each state has been awesome. We have seen some mighty miracles take place in these capitals.
We most certainly expect this will also be the case as we journey to our nation’s largest and major cities the next few years and pray for Great Revival, Great Awakening and Great Godly Sorrow that results in True Repentance and New Life In Christ to break out across the natioin!
THE PORTLAND, OREGON CROSS WALK
After visiting our granddaughter, her husband and our two great grandkiddos for a few days in Corvallis, wife Jeanette stayed behind as I journeyed to Portland (some 75 miles north) to pray (once again) for Oregon’s largest city and its 650,000 souls (metro population is 2.2 million souls).
Read The 2020 Cross Walk Story On Portland And You Will See A Burned Out City Hall Building, Compared To Now.
This is the forth time since 2016 that I’ve brought the large cross to Portland.
The first place that I pray at is City Hall. In 2020 downtown Portland was the site of three months of nonstop violence and destruction against police and businesses. (You can read those stories on this site as well.) But in 2021 and now, things have changed! God finally said, “Enough is enough!” to the demonic forces influencing large groups of Antifa and lawless individuals.
Because the people of Portland prayed and asked God to intervene, He did! Now, I was back once more to see how the city was, as well as asking God to continue encouraging the Christians of Portland to pray for their city’s revival.
This four hour cross walk was awesome. Many asked for prayer. usually, I would go up to individuals and see if they needed prayer. But this time, they were all coming up to me.
Police Building Remains Boarded Up In 2022. But There Are No Longer Nightly Riots And Destruction Downtown.
Especially at the once-besieged Police Bureau Building, I hoisted the cross upright and prayed hard and long for the continuing safety of Portland’s Thin Blue Line. This huge building had also been burned out by violent demonstrators and rioters in 2020.
There is no doubt that God took this city back from those who would see its utter ruin and destruction. This happened because the people of Portland finally decided that they were bigger and stronger than those who chose to destroy the city. God honored them, and through His mighty power, rebuked the forces of evil and darkness hovering over Portland and also ushered out from the city those individuals who were bent on bringing this beautiful city to utter ruin. Amen!
THE SALEM, OREGON CROSS WALK
Free Oregon Tent Revival Taking Place At The Capitol!
Salem, the capital of Oregon, was next!
As I loaded up the large cross on Go-Ye-Mobile-2, people kept stopping and asking what I was doing. I was happy to take the extra time to share what I why I was at the Capitol. But my mind was now on Salem.
This would be my fourth time in Salem as well. Just 40 miles south of Portland, I arrived around 1 P.M. Taking a short break for lunch, I was anxious to see what God had done since November, 2021, the last time I had walked the cross here.
He had done a lot!! Read the rest of this entry »
This Is The Four Step Plan God Gives Believers To Use In Reaching Entire Cities For Jesus The Messiah.
The August 31, 2020 cross walk and prayer vigil throughout downtown Portland revealed just how satanically entrenched the downtown area was. Praying very hard against both the evil satanic forces hovering over the city as well as the lawless humanic forces used by Satan to steal, kill and destroy the very heart and soul of this city, I knew I’d be back again to pray hard and long when the LORD said, “Go!”
In the meantime, I would continue to pray regularly for the 660,000 souls living in Portland and that Great Revival and Great Awakening would breakout in due season.
On my 74th birthday, November 16, 2021, the LORD of warrior hosts sent me, once again, to this largest city in Oregon.
Arriving in Portland from Corvallis (where we were again visiting our granddaughter and two great grandchildren), and as I stepped out of Go-Ye-Mobile-2, I felt a distinct difference than from my last cross walk and prayer vigil in August, 2020.
Back then, the satanic oppression on the streets was very apparent and heavy. But now…it felt as if the oppression had been lifted and was no longer there.
WHEN THE ENEMY COMES IN LIKE A FLOOD
Satanic Forces Are Scattered And Shattered As We Pray And Ask God To Send Forth A Holy Firestorm Of His Omnipotent Power.
People were smiling. They were greeting me in a way that they hadn’t back in 2020. Even before I started walking the large cross, individuals were coming up and talking with me as I unloaded the 10-foot, 60-pound cross from the truck.
The Enemy may launch a relentless assault against a city and its residents and mount a powerful and destructive offensive against law and order in an attempt to transform that city into a lawless, scofflawic wasteland, but because God does hear the prayers of His people, He will eventually mount a more powerful counteroffensive against the stealthic forces of evil and darkness.
And that’s when the spiritual tide turns!
As I lifted then lowered the heavy cross to my right shoulder, I knew for certain that God had done a mighty work the past few months! All because of His great love for the people of Portland. And all because so many of God’s people were in ongoing, relentless combat prayer for Portland!
SPIRITUAL WARFARE FOR A CITY’S WELFARE
City Hall Was No Longer Boarded Up And Under Heavy Siege.
I was anxious to see His mighty work and powerful acts of ridding the entrenched city of the heavy satanic oppression that had been so malignant and disturbing during the August 2020 cross walk. Heading for City Hall, I began to praise the LORD for His great power and mercy to the people of Portland and for answering the prayers of His people.
Back in August, 2020 Satan was taking the war to the people of Portland, a warfare that they were not prepared for and, perhaps, didn’t understand. Yet because of His praying people, God Himself eventually took the war to Satan and his demonic minions. And when God decides to go to war, He always wins!
Hoisting the cross upward and gently slamming it to the cement walkway at City Hall, I continued to praise God for His wonderful acts and works of mercy and grace to the people of Portland. I prayed that He would continue to reveal Himself strong to all City workers and elected officials, and to replace those officials who would continue to war against Him in spite of His goodness to the city.
My next destination would be what I consider the most important stop of every cross walk. Read the rest of this entry »
Almost Every Downtown Business Was Boarded Up. Many Had Closed Permanently While Others Made Sure That They Were Closed Long Before Nightfall.
After praying loud and long at the Portland Police Bureau, I walked the cross throughout the downtown area. At each street corner I hoisted the 10-foot, 60-pound cross upright, gently slammed it to the cement sidewalk and prayed hard against the evil forces that were orchestrating the attempted destruction of this city.
I also asked the LORD of warrior hosts to rebuke the human forces who were being used as pawns and who were committing nightly acts of anarchism, terrorism and lawlessness.
I was taken by surprise at the large number of boarded-up businesses. Walking up and down the downtown area, I continued to pray loud and long, that God would take back this city from the evil forces bent on transforming it into a wasteland of lawlessness and destruction.
As I walked the cross and prayed, I sensed an evil presence all throughout the downtown area and everywhere I walked. Constantly rebuking these satanic minions, I asked the Almighty God to send forth His angelic forces and take back this city for the sake of its 660,000 souls.
WHERE TWO OR MORE ARE GATHERED IN HIS NAME
This Young Man Prayed With Me That God Would Put An End To Racial Injustice And Racism.
Individuals came up and joined me in prayer, which is not surprising. This happens in every city I cross walk, and it took place here as well!
The young Black man in the image on the left joined me in prayer. He was totally against the lawlessness and destruction, but he was also disturbed at the injustice he saw taking place against the Black community, and so we prayed loud and hard that God would also put an end to racial injustice and racism in our nation.
Throughout this cross walk, several other individuals joined me in earnest prayer for the city.
Tent encampments were everywhere, as were groups of young people just sitting or lying down on sidewalks at the entrances or right next to businesses.
Many were homeless, while others were waiting around until darkness fail so as to join in or watch the destruction of buildings and assault against the police. Read the rest of this entry »
