Pastor Andrew Brunson Stuns Everyone By Falling To His Knees And Praying Over Trump
we are so honored to have you and anything finally we'd like to say and
then you're gonna go and relax and go home
celebrate and have a great life right I won't ask you whether or not you're
going back to Turkey we were there for 25 years and we loved the Turkish people
grant eNOS wait pray for their blessing that's right here it's very nice and I
know you do love the Turkish people they're great people I know that they're
great people as family thank you well I need it probably more than anybody so I
would that would be very nice thank you very much okay so you can I'll just
by God I asked that you pour out your Holy Spirit on President Trump that you
give him supernatural wisdom to accomplish all the plans you have for
this country is your son I ask that you get them Winston and have to leave this
country and to righteousness I ask that you give them perseverance and endurance
and courage to stand the truth I said to protect them from stand upon your
enemies from those who undermine I ask that you make them a great blessing to
this country fill them with your wisdom and strength and forcibly and we bless
him can he be a great blessing Jesus
I just want to pray that the Spirit of the Lord would rest on the president the
spirit of wisdom and understanding the spirit of counsel and might the spirit
of knowledge and fear of the Lord it's a little unfair I knew I would never do
that to myself that could be Duke tough listen
congratulations thank you great place and fantastic children they were still
with you and honor thank you and again to President everyone thank you very
much to the people of Turkey thank you very much I think this well a big step
in our relationship we have had a very harsh relationship
over the past number of months because of what was happening and I'm not gonna
blame fault I'm not gonna say anything I'm just saying this is a tremendous
step toward having the kind of relationship with Turkey which can be a
great relationship that I know we're going to have so thank you very much and
president thank you very much and by the way other people that are in prisons in
other countries other than Turkey we have other people that have been there
for many years we've done very well we actually have at least 18 and the 18
were people that they said would never ever be freed and by the way pastor
Brunson was one of them we were talking before how many years
was it you could say that number you told me it's a very scary number 35
years 35 years so you know we have many people throughout the world in other
countries and we are working very hard this group we're working very hard to
take care of that situation consider what happened we have to see what
happened it's really best to let's determine what happened first there's
plenty of things we can do that are very tough let's see what happened first
nobody seen it yet so we do want to see it I guess it's a combination of seeing
and hearing it and maybe a lot can be yes we're going to be sitting adverse
soon
about this I will be and I'll begin I will be also calling King Salman of
Saudi Arabia because I think it's appropriate for me to ask him what is
going on
for a time we don't know what's ahead of us but I would like to say something
someone asked before but other American prisoners in Turkey and I know that from
dealing with the consulate there and they've been very involved with us
excellent counselors staff there and Martin felt fear that they weren't only
engaging for me that they are engaging for everyone there so is
I know this just from talking with the consulate staff when they would come to
visit me in prison that they were involved very much in advocating for the
other person who's there and I have to say with respect to Turkey or Saudi
Arabia when you look at what's going on here in Iran and other places it's
really bad it is really bad there are a lot of bad things going on in that part
of the world and frankly in other parts of the world also administration's he
said you talked about the 19 people that you've seen Americans held applaud that
you've seen released what did you do differently than previous they are
tending not to take them out of our administration and that's good I like
that and I think I could tell you why but I won't but they tend not to take
them out of our administration and you know what it's going to stay that way I
thought she was fantastic I thought the first lady was fantastic last night I
hope I do as well on 60 minutes
we use something sending Treasury secretary Nugent to the conference in
Riyadh later this month what do you think about that I think we need to
continue to evaluate the facts and we'll make that decision as I talked to a
second evolution about the last night we'll be taking a look at the we were
very tough on Turkey and we'll take a look there was absolutely no deal
frankly the only deal if you can call it a deal is a psychological one we feel
much different about Turkey today than we did yesterday and I think we have a
chance of really becoming much closer to Turkey maybe things even having a very
very good relationship we know the people and as the pastor said these are
incredible people the people of Turkey are incredible people and I think we
have a chance now to really have a great relationship with Turkey I hope that
happens okay maybe you and Tommy work so hard Richard burr well we welcome the
pastor back to North Carolina he's been missed but his work in Turkey
like everywhere else the work read the words of Jesus Christ is that just
crucial and it's foundation about this country the United States
that's why we love it so much
it's right pastor Brunson you mentioned the state team I just want to echo the
the the folks on the ground in Turkey the two times that I was there
we're amazing to work with and they deserve a lot of credit they do you know
how many times they met with you and the prison how much time they spent with
Noreen and we're very proud of them they've done an extraordinary job what a
special guy what a special man of Christ when he comes to the Oval Office and so
instead of saying thank you just for your prayers he says let me pray for you
mr. president what a special state and what a special statement about what
you've done person as a delegation North Carolina worked on this release for a
very long time but things changed when this administration came in and the
direct involvement a second of the Secretary of State and the direct
involvement of You mr. president the vice president it's made all the
difference we're so grateful to see the happy family all back together once
again
but I think the other thing is you had dozens and dozens of advocates you had
one champion in the President of the United States but he was the answer to
me thank you for keeping the faith thank you for the entire team and praise God
for a wonderful celebration today thank you very much appreciate so much to
charge a the to both of it there was a transition time but both of them were
just so wonderful and we just want to get out and you know James has fought
for you I'd like you maybe to say something like we had fun your husband
have read he had with the bravery that he should because you know I know
exactly what was going on you saw it better than anybody it was hard for him
and really the Lord pulled him through yeah yeah I think it was a great
testimony in Turkey we would like people to know who we really are there that we
really are there to bless the country that's our desire thank you
I just want to say thank you for all of your involvement I I don't think that we
would be sitting here right now I don't think that I'd be seeing my parents
right now if it were not for your involvement in your strong stance so
thank you wanted to say like thank you for everything that you've done I know
you and the vice president have worked really hard and all these people and it
was really hard like my dad being gone so um thank you for bringing him back it
was we are so happy so thrilled James Thank You mr. president
y'all have both faced incredible risks personally your tenacity to be able to
stay there by his side throughout this a great personal risk to yourself through
this process has been inspiring for many of us to be able to watch as well we're
incredibly grateful for y'all to be able to be home we look forward to having a
celebration like day like this for other Americans from Turkey that need to come
home as well to be able to finish that out getting all those individuals
resolved as well and back home but today we're just incredibly grateful after two
very long years free to be able to be home and I look forward to hearing their
stories about driving through drive-thrus and getting a hamburger
about going to just hang out and going to your own church just being able to
relax and to be able to be with family and we're all looking forward to those
days of y'all not having to be on the front page of a paper and just being
back to being Americans again and be able to do this - welcome home thank you
god bless you and God bless america
