Related: About this forumGod spoke to Ted and said he could run. Actually he gave the green light.
"My son Ted and his family spent six months in prayer seeking God's will for this decision. But the day the final green light came on, the whole family was together. It was a Sunday. We were all at his church, First Baptist Church in Houston, including his senior staff. After the church service, we all gathered at the pastor's office. We were on our knees for two hours seeking God's will. At the end of that time, a word came through his wife, Heidi. And the word came, just saying, "Seek God's face, not God's hand." And I'll tell you, it was as if there was a cloud of the holy spirit filling that place. Some of us were weeping, and Ted just looked up and said, "Lord here am I, use me. I surrender to you, whatever you want." And he felt that was a green light to move forward."

How God always tells certain people to do the things they wanted to do in the first place.

Someone who believes he is chosen by God can justify doing anything.
