Important Prayer Focus
We declare GOD's plans and purposes in the earth, and that all things in the United States be accomplished through GOD's Spirit. We pray that every hindrance or obstacle that would attempt to prevent GOD's will from being accomplished be removed! We pray for continued revelation of truth and the exposure of falsehoods.
We pray that America can regain honor, integrity and truth of character in it's leadership and therefore become once again the Shining City on a Hill, who is once again Freedom's greatest hope. We turn to the LORD GOD for our rescue and our salvation, our wisdom, direction, protection and provision.
We pray that GOD anoints and empowers Mike Huckabee as He did King David of Israel, that no weapon formed against him will succeed. We pray that GOD prepares the weapons of Mike's warfare in the same way that GOD prepared five smooth stones for the shepherd boy David. We pray that when Mike goes out to lead a Gideon’s army of the living GOD in the name of the LORD ALMIGHTY that he arises victorious in his spiritual battles.
As David's sling slew Goliath, we pray that Mike triumphs over his adversaries, spiritual and political, so that all will know that it is not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the LORD of Hosts. We praise GOD that He has placed Mike Huckabee in this nation as an ambassador of CHRIST's love and hope.
We lift Governor Huckabee and his family up to our LORD GOD for wisdom in decision making. We pray that the HOLY SPIRIT would give Mike clarity in communication. We pray for Gov. Huckabee, that he would always hear clearly the direction that the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY would have him follow. We pray that abundant provision would flow through to Governor Huckabee in cash, staff & volunteers, as well as positive media coverage.
We pray blessings upon Janet Huckabee. We praise GOD for her sacrifice and support of Mike as he gives his time working to make our country the best it can be. We pray that Mike's personal finances will multiply and that he has provision to meet all needs for himself and his family. We pray special peace, comfort, strength, and protection upon her, their family, pets and home.
Thank You LORD for travel mercies, safety, and protection for Mike and his family as he travels around our nation to speak, encourage, and enlist others to support solid conservative candidates and issues.
The bigger prize: getting rid of the IRS. Huckabee testifies at Ways & Means hearing July 26

Never mind the dramatics over raising the debt ceiling. One group is keeping its eye on what it regards as a bigger prize: getting rid of the IRS.

Supporters of the so-called Fair Tax — a national retail sales tax that, in theory, could replace the income tax – are gearing up for a major push on Capitol Hill next week, including intensive lobbying. The highlight of the week will be a Ways and Means Committee hearing on the Fair Tax, as well as other consumption-tax variations, such as the European-style value-added tax.
The hearing is part of a series on tax reform that the tax-writing committee is holding.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee – who’s expecting to be one of the witnesses at Tuesday’s hearing – so far claims more than 25,000 signatures on a petition he hopes to deliver to lawmakers. “Help us reach 100,000 signatures by July 25th at midnight, he says on his website. “Why? So I can say when I testify about the FairTax before Congress, that over 100,000 Americans are standing with me today.”
He adds: “Folks, it is time we put the IRS out of business.”
The Ways and Means Committee late Thursday afternoon released its witness list for the Tuesday hearing. It includes former Gov. Huckabee as well as Laurence Kotlikoff of Boston University and fiscal policy expert Bruce Bartlett, all testifying on the Fair Tax; as well as Michael Graetz of Columbia University, Rosanne Altshuler of Rutgers University, Robert Carroll of Ernst & Young LLP, Jim White of the Government Accountability Office, Dan Mitchell of the Cato Institute and Simon Johnson of MIT, all testifying on value-added taxes.
In announcing the hearing, Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R., Mich.) said, “While the Committee thus far has focused on reforming the income tax, tax proposals that would move us away from an income base and instead adopt consumption as the tax base have continued to generate interest as well. Supporters of such approaches believe that taxing consumption rather than income could have important economic benefits, and so as part of our efforts to reform the tax code, the Committee needs to examine those proposals. This hearing will allow the Committee to learn more about two of the most-discussed consumption tax proposals, the FairTax and the VAT.”
