Object: A mustard seed in GW Bush's soul.
(Warning; Reading this may make you ill )
The Day I Prayed with
George W. Bush to Receive Jesus!
April 3, 1984 Midland, Texas
To God be the Glory!

From my diary (Arthur Blessitt) dated April 3, 1984.

"A good and powerful day. Led Vice President Bush's son to Jesus
today. George Bush Jr.! This is great! Glory to God."
Sick yet? Keep reading.
"What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of
vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other
vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true,
confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the
hypocrite is really rotten to the core."
--- Hannah Arendt:
In his book "A charge to keep my journey to the White House" by George
W. Bush pages 136-139, he tells in quite some detail about a visit
with Rev. Billy Graham in Maine where he says "Reverend Graham planted
a mustard seed in my soul".
Mr. Bush goes on to say about Jesus, "I would commit my heart to Jesus
Christ. I was humbled to learn that God sent His Son to die for a
sinner like me. I was comforted to know that through the Son, I could
find God's amazing grace, a grace that crosses every border, every
barrier and is open to everyone. Through the love of Christ's life, I
could understand the life-changing powers of faith. I began reading
the Bible regularly. Don Evans talked me into joining him and another
friend, Don Jones, at a men's community Bible study. The group had
first assembled the year before, in spring of 1984, [that was the
spring of my week meeting in Midland] at the beginning of the downturn
in the energy industry. Laura and I were members of First Methodist
Church in Midland. Faith changes lives, I know, because faith has
changed mine."
After reading how open Mr. George W. Bush is now in his relationship
with Jesus. I knew I could speak openly of our time together when he
prayed to receive Jesus. However I thought it could be interpreted as
a political statement if I spoke about it during the campaign.
Mr. Bush giving a long summary of his visit with Rev. Graham opened
the way for me to share about my visit with him.
Friday June 25, 1999 then candidate George W. Bush came to Fort Myers,
Florida for a fundraising breakfast. I read about it and paid my
personal $1,000 admission. Hundreds of people attended the breakfast
at a huge private home on the Caloosahatchee River. Mr. Bush was to
speak outside along the waterfront. There was no way he was going to
shake hands with everyone, speak and leave in a short time. I prayed
and figured which door he would come out of. I was waiting near a door
as I stood in the living room. Sure enough he came out that door and I
was the third person to shake his hand.
I said, "I am Arthur Blessitt, we met in Midland...." He interrupted me.
"Yes, you carried the cross through the Darien Jungle". He pulled me
to him in a big hug. I told him briefly that I had now carried the
cross in every nation and was now going to all the remote island
groups. I ask how he was and then I said.
"Do you remember when we met and talked about Jesus and we prayed
together and you invited Jesus into your life?" "Oh, Yes" he replied.
Other people were crowding about and could now over hear us talking. I
said quietly "I am very proud of you and your testimony for Christ. I
would like to have a brief prayer with you again."
"Sure, I would like that". Replied Mr. Bush.
(Bush favorite passage from the Old Testament}
DT 20:16 "In the cities of the nations the Lord is giving you as an
inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes."
I had typed a prayer the night before and I prayed it and he followed
on the paper I gave him.
A prayer for George W. Bush
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His Face to shine upon
you and give you peace! May His goodness and mercy follow you all the
days of your life. May He who formed you in your mother's womb and He
who called you and chose you from her womb, protect, bless, lead,
prosper and keep your heart pure. May you be a light to many people
and show both:
Wisdom and humility
Compassion and justice
Service and sacrifice
Both to God and man. May the Lord watch over you in your going out and
coming in,
now and forever more.
May the peace of God fill you even in the face of your adversary. May
the fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith, meekness and self-control be yours.
The Lord of Hosts preserve you. May the love of God fill you! May
Jesus show you
His way, His truth and His life.
In Jesus Name I pray.
I then said "How can we stay in touch?
He replied, "I will give you the name of my assistant, phone number
and a special address." I wrote it down as he gave it to me.
Then he said "God bless you and thank you Arthur, keep in touch."
I stepped back and stood watching and praying as others greeted him. I
was only thrilled that I had been able to make contact. It cost me one
thousand dollars but it was worth a million.
"Arthur" it was George W. Bush calling. "This man needs to talk to a
real person of faith" he said as he kind of handed a man over to me.
The man said he wanted a photo of Mr. Bush. George W Bush called me
over to him and said.
"Here, you stand with me"! I was a bit shocked but very pleased to get
a photo with him. I talked to the man who took the photo and he agreed
to send me a copy. I did receive it about a month later.
I waited outside for the speech. As George W. Bush was making his way
to the mike he saw me and leaned over people with his hand out.
"Arthur" he said and I replied "God bless you". We shook hands again.
During the speech whenever he spoke of 'faith' he would look at me and
smile. As he left he called out to me again.
I was trembling at the glorious work of the Holy Spirit. My wife
Denise did not attend, as it would have cost another thousand for
her.
George W. Bush, the oilman I prayed with to receive Jesus Christ as
Savior and Lord on April 3, 1984 has gone on to become President of
the United States of America. All glory to God.
I am publishing this on my website at www.blessitt.com. Why?
1. President George W. Bush has openly written and spoken about his
meeting with Billy Graham. Where he talked about Jesus and following
Him.
2. He has told of his Bible study with Don Evans and the Midland men's
Bible study group.
3. President Bush has openly witnessed to and prayed with others to
receive Christ as Savior as he did at a recent largee gathering of a
thousand or so in Washington D.C. This was well reported by the news
there and by eyewitnesses.
4. President Bush has met and prayed with world leaders in the White
House.
5. The president is not ashamed of his relationship with Jesus and is
open in his witness.
6. I want to encourage people in witnessing for Jesus! I have always
heard it said 'the person you lead to Jesus may someday be President
of the United States. Well it's true!
7. Be faithful in sharing Jesus with everyone. Jesus said "Go into all
the world and preach the gospel to every person". Mark 16:15
8. I pray that this very report will result in others believing and
becoming true followers of Jesus.
9. During the years of my walk around the world I have met and prayed
with many leaders. One of the most public was with Yasser Arafat in
Beirut, Lebanon during the war in 1982. CNN TV saw me praying with him
in the streets and filmed it and reported it around the world.
10. Billy Graham and I walked in the battlefields of Belfast, Northern
Ireland in 1972 and prayed with people. He even took a cameraman along
to record the walk and witness.
11. I carried the cross in Midland. Had prayer in the city center and
did a crosswalk. Often when I am carrying the cross people get in
touch with me and want to talk and pray. So I consider this as just
another part of the crosswalk witness. Along the way of the cross I
have prayed with thousands, even millions of people. Many are
household names and other unknown outside their own family and friends
or area. To me it matters not. In my books, videos and website I tell
experiences of praying with all kinds of people around the world the
known and unknown.
12. May God bless President George W. Bush in every way and my God
bless each of you who read this report.

Yep, you too can pray with humble lamb of God, George W. Bush, and it
will only cost you $1000. That's Texas oilman style religion.
