Mangun sang "I Have Been Redeemed" in a private session with the Clintons.

I tried, begged, and pleaded for every Apostolic I knew to pray for him instead of belittle, attack, and speak hate against him. But to no avail... I don't blame him for not wearing the label "Apostolic" based on how we treated and talked about him in the Conservative media and in our churches. But, on the Spiritual side... the man was the closest to being an "Apostolic" President than any we've had.
I've always admired Anthony Mangun. There are few preachers that I've heard that preach consistently with the type of burden and passion that he preaches the Gospel with.

I gained even more respect though, when I read Bill Clinton's book. This is an excerpt from "My Life" by Bill Clinton.

" During my second term, when the Republicans were trying to run me out of town and a lot of the pundits were saying I was dead meat, Anthony Mangun called me and asked if he and Mickey could come see me for twenty minutes. I said, "Twenty minutes? You're going to fly all the way up here for twenty minutes?" He replied, "You're busy. That's all it'll take." I told him to come on up. A few days later, Anthony and Mickey sat alone with me in the Oval Office. He said, "You did a bad thing but you're not a bad man. We raised our children together. I know your heart. Don't give up on yourself. And if you're going down, and the rats start to leave the sinking ship, call me. I rode up with you, and I want to go down with you." Then we prayed together and Mickey gave me a tape of a beautiful song she ahd written to shore me up. It was entitled "Redeemed." After twenty minutes, they got up and flew home. "

Re: Don't you miss the days of Pres. BC?

What I found interesting about Clinton's book is that he encouraged everyone to visit an Apostolic church if they ever had an opportunity. In a way, he witnessed to everyone who read his book. That's thousands and thousands, or maybe even several million people.

I haven't read it & won't read it!
I like to see "fruit" & he ain't got the nickname slick willy for nothing!

All power to the Manguns for trying to minister to him/them.

I don't trust the Clinton's & thier could be a book written about all thier doings & philosophies--none of it good.

I do pray for him.

It wasn't bad. It's interesting to see how he saw things and was so disappointed with how things had bee spun on so many occasions.

Who? Bill Clinton?

I don't trust him, never have, probably never will.

Now if he were to show forth fruits meet for repentence that is something else.

There was an old prophet who passed on last year & he and his wife saw the Clinton's for who they were.
