God can and does supernaturally intervene in elections. I saw it happen with my own eyes in a way that could not be denied.
In 1958 my dad was voted in as pastor of the First Assembly of God in Tipton, Oklahoma, with 100% of the vote. This happened although one week prior to the vote, the chairman of the board of deacons had urged Dad to withdraw his name, saying he had talked to all the members of the church, and “We are all in agreement that you are not qualified to be our pastor.”

It was an incredible example of God intervening in an election and demonstrating that He can work through a democracy and lift up the leaders of His choice. There must, however, be absolute trust and obedience on the part of God’s people, which was the key to my dad’s election victory. Here is the rest of the story.
God Speaks
Our family had been living in Tipton, Oklahoma, for almost two years, and my dad worked as a farmhand making just 50 cents per hour. My parents, my three brothers and I faithfully attended the local Assembly of God. We were on the lower end of the socioeconomic scale, but we never missed a service.
One day, Dad quit his job as a farmhand and made plans to move to Dallas, Texas, where there was the promise of a better-paying job. However, as soon as he quit his job, he heard the Holy Spirit say, “What about pastoring this church?”
