A Red Sea moment

Here's what House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a speech Tuesday night at a National Association of Christian Lawmakers (NACL) banquet. When he took the stage, he lauded NACL for not letting the news media in. 

The Lord impressed upon my heart a few weeks before this happened that something was going to occur. And the Lord very specifically told me in my prayers to prepare, but to wait. . .I had this sense that we were going to come to a Red Sea moment in our Republican conference and in the county at large.

Look, I'm a Southern Baptist. I don't wanna get too spooky on you. But you know, the Lord speaks to your heart. He had been speaking to me about this, and the Lord told me very clearly to prepare and be ready. Be ready for what? I don't know. We're coming to a Red Sea moment. What does that mean, Lord?

When the speaker's race happened and Kevin McCarthy, who's a dear friend of mine, was deposed and vacated from the chair. Oh, wow! Well this is what the Lord may have been preparing us for. I started praying more. Lord began to wake me up through the three-week process we're in, in the middle of the night, and to speak to me and write things down. Plans,  procedures and ideas of how to bring this conference together.

At the time, I assumed the Lord is going to choose a new Moses, and Thank you Lord, you're going to allow me to be Aaron to Moses. 

According to the record, Johnson then recalled  the 13 failed bids of those who came before him, during which time the Lord "kept telling me to, 'Wait, wait, wait.'" Eventually, Johnson reported, God told him, "Now, step forward."

"Me? I'm supposed to be Aaron," he told the Lord. But the Lord said, "No, step forward." 

The question is, what am I to make of this?

1) The man is bonkers.

2) Many people hear voices in the night. Just be thankful his voice is the voice of the King of Heaven and Earth.

3) His brand of Christian nationalism is a direct threat to American democracy.

4) Someone who has attained the position of Speaker of the House, third in-line for the Presidency?--that he's a true believer is a national blessing. 

5) He must continue to report everything the Lord tells him to do what the voices tell him in the odd hours of the night because what he hears he believes and will act upon.

6) If the revelations of a candidate for office originate in the peyote he or she has been smoking, what criteria should we use to determine whose voices are legit? 

7) Mr. Johnson also believes that ex-President Trump won the 2020 election. Did the Lord tell him that too?

8) Buckle up! This ought to be a ride.

9) What do our creeds say about individual revelation--does the Lord speak to us, does he write us notes in the way Rep. Johnson swears  happened?

10) Johnson is a good man. Let him have his fantasies. We could have someone who listens the voice of Satan.
