CNN’s Gary Tuchman previews a segment to air tonight about the I-35 revival campaign called Light the Highway. I discussed that project in relationship to the James Stabile story. Joe Oden of the Heartland School of Ministry in Dallas tells me that James Stabile’s situation did not come up in the interviews.
Tuchman interviews Cindy Jacobs who is not clear, according to Tuchman, about whether Isaiah 35:8 refers to the Texas to Minnesota Interstate.
The woman who came up with the concept of “Light the Highway” is a Texas minister named Cindy Jacobs.
She says she can’t be sure Interstate 35 really is what is mentioned in the Bible but says she received a revelation to start this campaign after “once again reading Isaiah, Chapter 35.”
Jacobs also points out that perhaps there is a link between the area near this highway and tragedies that have happened in history, such as the bridge collapse on I-35 in Minneapolis last August and the assassination of JFK 44 years ago near I-35 in Dallas. That’s why prayer certainly can’t hurt, she adds.
Sounds like must see TV, tonight at 10pm eastern time on CNN. See video of the segment here.
Yeah…if I were the devil, I would tell someone to mobilize a massive prayer movement to Jesus.
If I was the devil, on crack.
From Matthew 6:5 – 7 (New Living Translation)
“…When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners…where everyone can see them. I assure you, this is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself…and pray to your Father secretly. Then your Father…will reward you. When you pray, don’t babble on and on…”
and from Steve Taylor (“Guilty by Association”)
“… you heard a revelation from the still small voice?…perhaps it was the devil who whispered in your ear”
