Doug Mastriano’s Prophets In Pennsylvania

PENNSYLVANIA — LifeGate Church is nestled in a wooded space of Elizabethtown, 6 miles from the Three Mile Island nuclear energy plant that partially melted down in 1979, virtually rendering this beautiful patch of central Pennsylvania alongside the Susquehanna River a radioactive wasteland. The church was shaped in 2010, and now a half-acre of bushes behind the constructing lay on their sides, minimize all the way down to make room for an enlargement that may embrace a brand new youth heart.

On an overcast Sunday morning final month, about 80 congregants pulled into the parking zone beneath sensible orange and yellow foliage and filed in by means of the church’s pink entrance doorways, sharing heat greetings and smiles. I additionally pulled into the parking zone, glancing within the rearview mirror to see a automobile pulling in behind me with a sticker on its entrance windshield declaring, “CRT MARXISM SUCKS.”

I used to be welcomed by Pastor Don Lamb, a tall, gray-mustachioed man who had lately recovered from a coronary heart assault. (He’d collapsed in a close-by diner and technically died, he instructed me. However folks rushed to his help and carried out a “miracle,” resuscitating him.) Lamb had made it clear earlier than I arrived at LifeGate that he was cautious of journalists like me, however that the church would stand by its promise to welcome anyone for Sunday service. I took my place within the rows of adjoined chairs as a full band — keyboardist, guitar participant, bass participant, drummer — began to play worship songs. The congregants rose to their toes, some with palms dealing with upward and eyes closed, singing.

Lamb then launched a customer to the day’s service, Calvin Greiner, a middle-aged white man from over in Lititz who claims to obtain prophetic visions from God. Greiner walked to the entrance of the room carrying a protracted sword and grabbed maintain of the microphone.

“I used to be instructed years and years in the past to make a sword and to placed on it particular phrases,” Greiner mentioned. He recited the sword’s inscription. “Anointed and appointed. Worship. Warfare. Prayer. Intercession by the course of the Lord Jesus Christ,” he mentioned. “The opposite aspect says, The sword of the Lord — my identify’s not on right here — it’s The sword of the Lord. The sword of the Spirit.”

“This was within the workplace of Doug Mastriano — a few of you would possibly know him — for 225 days,” Greiner continued. Mastriano, after all, is a state senator and Republican nominee for governor of Pennsylvania.

Greiner defined how God lately instructed him to retrieve the sword from Mastriano’s workplace in Harrisburg, take it to Philadelphia, the place a pastor at a church blessed it, after which to the nation’s capital. “God mentioned, ‘After Philly, this should go to D.C. This should go to my Capitol in D.C. from Harrisburg,’” Greiner recalled, his voice breaking.

However earlier than D.C., God instructed him to cease at LifeGate, the place he’d meet a person named Jim Emery, a church member who had labored as safety for Mastriano throughout his marketing campaign.

Greiner invited Emery and a few different males to hitch him on the entrance of the church, the place they laid their palms upon the sword and started to wish because the guitarist strummed a gentle melody.

“Oh Lord and heavenly father, we thanks and pray to you that you just gave us this sword to bind the powers of Devil and solid it out!” one of many males mentioned. “As this sword strikes to Washington, I pray by the powers of the Holy Spirit you’ll ship your angels in and round that constructing, Lord. And you’ll contact the mighty Angel of God and discover the facility of Devil in Washington and run him out of city, Lord!”

The guitarist continued taking part in as Greiner closed the prayers by exclaiming: “So let God come up! Let his enemies scatter! Let those that hate God flee proper now!”

Lamb took maintain of the microphone once more.

“We welcome you all to LifeGate, the church within the nation that’s making an attempt to have an effect on the nation,” he mentioned. “We actually consider that God has known as the church to be greater than a home of choices, a home of sermons, a home of hymnals. This might be a home of activating folks to be engaged on this planet we’ll reside in.”

Lamb requested the congregation: “What number of of you sit up for the return of Christ?” The group erupted into cheers and amens.

“That’s coming,” Lamb assured them, “however you bought work to do till then.”

In April, Mastriano spoke at an occasion in Gettysburg hosted by believers within the QAnon conspiracy concept. He instructed the gang that he could be the subsequent governor of Pennsylvania as a result of “my God will make it so.”

The occasion’s organizer, Francine Fosdick, then gave him what she known as “the Sword of David.” She defined that she was giving him the sword due to the “warfare” Mastriano must wage on the marketing campaign path. “You’ve been combating for our nation, and also you’re combating for our non secular rights in Christ Jesus,” Fosdick instructed him.

“Oh yeah,” Mastriano replied, holding up the blade. “The place’s Goliath?”

Mastriano’s marketing campaign didn’t reply any questions for this story, together with whether or not this sword was the identical one I noticed at LifeGate.

Mastriano has run an insular marketing campaign for governor, usually outright refusing to interact questions from a mainstream media desirous to press him about his apocalyptic Christian worldview. He has most popular as an alternative to stay in a conservative media bubble, virtually solely granting interviews to far-right figures like Steve Bannon.

To higher perceive Mastriano, I traveled to central Pennsylvania to see the Christian nationalist extremists in his orbit up shut. His supporters, a few of whom are self-anointed “prophets,” see Mastriano as ordained by God to be governor of the Keystone State at an important second in American historical past. Alongside the best way, I joined a touring far-right roadshow and neo-Charismatic Christian revival known as the Nice ReAwakening, hosted by former Trump nationwide safety adviser Gen. Michael Flynn and Oklahoma businessman Clay Clark.

It’s a pageant of MAGA and QAnon conspiracy theories — in regards to the 2020 election, vaccines, the COVID pandemic, 5G, important race concept and a globalist cabal of Democratic Devil-worshiping pedophiles — so outlandish that it’d be straightforward to dismiss as fringe if it weren’t usually attracting hundreds of individuals. It’s additionally routinely endorsed by a few of the strongest Republican figures within the nation, together with Mastriano.

If polls, not prophecies, are to be believed, Mastriano might be clobbered by his Democratic opponent, Josh Shapiro, in Tuesday’s election. However his probably defeat shouldn’t distract from what Mastriano represents: The ongoing radicalization of the Republican Social gathering right into a sect that sees its victory as inevitable and predestined from above, and which paints its opponents because the literal incarnations of the Satan in want of vanquishing. On this view, democracy is merely a roadblock in a divine quest for domination.

Early on a Friday morning final month in Manheim, a small city within the fertile farmland of Lancaster County, just a few thousand folks — virtually all white, most middle-aged — entered the sprawling Spooky Nook Sports activities complicated, laying their coats down on white folding chairs as a band on stage broke into tune.

“Method maker, miracle employee, promise keeper, mild within the darkness. My God that’s who you’re,” the band sang as the gang joined in. They wore T-shirts emblazoned with slogans like “Jesus is my Savior, Trump is my President,” and “FAUCI LIED.”

Pastor Dave Scarlett took the stage, flanked by half a dozen folks holding shofars — rams-horn trumpets historically utilized by Jews in non secular ceremonies. In recent times the far-right has appropriated the instrument for its battle cry, a means of commencing “non secular warfare.” Shofars have been seen continuously throughout the violent Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol.

“Let’s go to conflict,” Scarlett instructed the gang, the shofars sounding off seven occasions.

So started the seventeenth cease of the Nice ReAwakening tour. Attendees have been instructed by speaker after speaker that they — the true, actual People — are below assault on all fronts, and their salvation lies in seizing political and cultural establishments to pave the best way for the Second Coming of Christ.

Many audio system declare they’ve a direct line to God. Bo Polny describes himself as an “skilled cycles timing analyst” in “Gold, Silver and Cryptocurrency” who makes use of “prayer and prophetic desires” to forecast the markets.

“The U.S. Inventory Market Crashed 38% in March 2020, as forecast,” his web site claims. “NEXT comes the OCTOBER 2022 WORLD ECONOMIC COLLAPSE adopted by the return of President Trump… how will Bitcoin, Gold, Silver and Cryptocurrencies react within the turmoil? Turn out to be a PRIVATE MEMBER TODAY and get all of the DETAILS!” (A 14-day trial is “solely” $99.)

Polny spoke on the Nice ReAwakening present on Oct. 21. After a hard-to-follow clarification in regards to the Biblical significance of the quantity “24,” Polny instructed the gang that one thing massive was going to occur quickly, on Nov. 24 — maybe the crash of the American greenback. “The system is a fraud, folks!” Polny mentioned. “It’s a fraud. Haggai 2:8 states that ‘the silver and the gold are mine, saith the Lord.’ Not the U.S. greenback!”

He then added: “The seven mountains which might be constructed — the monetary system, the church, schooling, the federal government, arts, leisure, media — all of it’s coming down, and 7 new mountains might be constructed!”

The group — which knew this prophecy effectively — cheered.

The “Seven Mountains Mandate” is on the core of the New Apostolic Reformation. This comparatively new evangelical motion believes in miracles, the supernatural, and the existence of modern-day apostles and prophets. It’s a motion characterised by Christian dominionism, the assumption that Christians should achieve management of the “seven mountains” of societal affect to kind an ideal world. Solely then, the prophecy goes, can Christ return to Earth.

This theocratic philosophy makes no room for equal governance in a pluralistic society like that of the US. But the GOP candidate for governor of the nation’s fifth largest state is a devotee. Although Mastriano has tried to distance himself from New Apostolic Reformation, he has appeared repeatedly on the marketing campaign path with its apostles and prophets, permitting them to put palms on him in prayer.

Mastriano was scheduled to talk at this Nice ReAwakening in Manheim — organizer Clay Clark mentioned Mastriano’s marketing campaign requested to incorporate him on the speaker listing — however he wouldn’t seem till the tip of the second day of the convention, after 16-plus hours of songs, baptisms, therapeutic ceremonies and the casting out of demons.

And wild speeches like Polny’s.

“We’re about to witness the Third Seal of Revelation,” Polny instructed the Nice ReAwakening crowd. “The angel of dying is coming to go to these folks earlier than the tip of the 12 months.”

A graphic appeared on the display screen behind him displaying pictures of Hilary Clinton, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, President Joe Biden, Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), billionaire George Soros, former First Girl Michelle Obama, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and others.

“These individuals are taking place!” Polny exclaimed because the viewers cheered and clapped. “These individuals who assume they’re pharaohs! Current-day pharaohs who you shall by no means see once more!”

“That is coming with the best wealth switch in human historical past,” he continued, ensuring to plug his enterprise. “Gold and silver are going to blow up in worth…”

Polny’s hit listing, which included most of the MAGA motion’s acknowledged political opponents, was taken from “Julie Inexperienced Prophecies,” in accordance with the graphic on the projector.

Inexperienced, a fixture of the Nice ReAwakening tour, is a “prophet” whose prophecies are reliably pro-Trump. They’re typically violent too, like her prophecy that God — any minute now — goes to strike down Democratic politicians “for his or her deliberate pandemic, shortages, inflation, mandates and for stealing an election.” She has additionally falsely alleged that Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi “likes to drink the little kids’s blood” and that the federal authorities is performing “human sacrifices.”

She however enjoys an in depth relationship with Mastriano. The GOP nominee for governor as soon as shared a video of Inexperienced prophesying that Pennsylvania is a “hornet’s nest of corruption” however that “I, the Lord, am cleaning your state.”

Mastriano has been photographed with Inexperienced and as soon as invited her to present a prayer at a marketing campaign rally. On the Patriots Come up convention in Gettysburg — the place Mastriano accepted his sword — Inexperienced delivered one other prophecy. “Sure, Doug, I’m right here for you, and I’ve not forsaken you,” Inexperienced mentioned, talking as God. “The time has come for his or her nice fall; for the good steal to be overturned. So, hold your religion in me.”

I knew all this about Inexperienced when she took the stage on the Nice ReAwakening in Manheim. I didn’t count on to witness how a lot her followers adored her and the way excited they have been to look at her reveal prophecies on stage.

“Says God, ‘you’ll be able to’t cease my son, who’s the rightful president, and his identify is President Donald Trump…” she mentioned, as the gang broke into hysterical cheers. “He’s on his means again, and the way he takes his place again on heart stage, you’ll by no means see that coming since you gained’t see me coming. And I’m with him.’”

Inexperienced mentioned that Trump’s return to the White Home would possibly occur earlier than 2024. “God mentioned he can take this nation again in unconventional methods. He doesn’t want an election to do it,” she added.

Later, I noticed Inexperienced wafting across the convention like a star. She, at occasions, positioned her palms on folks’s heads, casting out their demons, inflicting her followers to interrupt down in tears and even collapse. She and different “prophets” carried out these rituals continuously.

They claimed to heal the sick. A girl in a wheelchair stood up and walked, saying this Nice ReAwakening was the primary time she’d carried out so in 13 years.

Valeri Boland, who coordinates volunteers for Mastriano’s marketing campaign in Dauphin County, instructed me I had a demon.

I had been watching the failed U.S. Senate candidate Kathy Barnette converse on stage when Boland sat subsequent to me. She had seen my tweets in regards to the convention. She whispered in my ear that they have been “trash” and “stuffed with lies,” pointing her finger towards my chest. She mentioned she would pray for me to have a “radical encounter with God” in order that the “demons inside me” inflicting me to lie would go away.

She went again to her seat. Twenty minutes later, she discovered me once more and apologized, providing to wish with me, an invite I declined. She was joined by Francine Fosdick, the QAnon believer from Gettysburg who had gifted Mastriano the sword. The pair each wore “Mastriano” pins on their shirts and launched right into a sequence of conspiratorial rants that they requested me to not report — together with in regards to the COVID vaccine and the Georgia Guidestones — whereas making an attempt to persuade me to just accept Jesus into my coronary heart.

I walked over to the place numerous MAGA distributors have been hawking their wares. There have been prophetic work, considered one of Jesus hugging an American flag and one other of a lion, surrounded by American flags, and the textual content: “What storm Mr. President? You’ll discover out” — an obvious reference to the QAnon “storm” prophecy that Trump will mass-arrest his political enemies in the future.

Different distributors offered $100 steel crosses, purses formed like weapons, and “Trump continues to be my president, however Christ is King” sweatshirts. There have been numerous questionable well being dietary supplements on the market, nutritional vitamins and anointing oils, and a blanket that purportedly protects you from 5G’s radioactive waves.

One girl, who had damage her wrists working as an Amazon supply driver, confirmed me the bottle of “micronic silver” she had simply purchased, which she claimed immediately stopped her ache.

Mastriano’s marketing campaign had a sales space amidst all this snake oil the place supporters might signal as much as volunteer. A nervous marketing campaign employee moved apart as I took pictures of the sales space, stacked with literature about Mastriano’s pledge to revive “voting integrity,” “finish masks and vaccine mandates,” and “put mother and father answerable for schooling.” I requested the marketing campaign employee if Mastriano would nonetheless converse on the convention, and she or he mentioned in all probability not. He was too busy. Clark, the convention organizer, saved telling me that Mastriano was nonetheless on the schedule.

“I establish as a person as we speak — is it OK to be in right here?” a person within the males’s rest room loudly joked as he used a urinal, with three different grown males subsequent to him guffawing. (Almost each speaker on the convention had gone after transgender folks, some calling gender dysphoria the work of the satan.)

Outdoors, I discovered Pennsylvania state Rep. Dave Zimmerman, who I’d interviewed just a few weeks prior at a small rally for Mastriano in Harrisburg. At that rally, he had admitted to being subpoenaed by the FBI, probably over his involvement with Mastriano’s scheme to put in pretend electors after the 2020 election to present the presidency to Trump.

I confirmed Zimmerman a photograph of the “angel of dying” prophecy that had been projected on stage, ensuring it was shut sufficient so he might learn the textual content above the faces of the 24 folks prophesied to die within the subsequent couple of months: “Angel of Demise coming for them by year-end. ’TREASON might be written on them for ETERNITY.”

Is that this OK? I requested Zimmerman. He demurred.

“I don’t know what was mentioned. However there’s no query there’s, you realize, there’s good issues, and there’s dangerous issues taking place in our nation, and a few people promote good issues, and a few people promote dangerous issues.”

I requested him: “Do you consider in modern-day prophets who’ve a direct line to God?”

”You already know, all through the Previous Testomony, New Testomony scripture, God used prophets, and I’m certain he’s utilizing prophets as we speak as effectively. There’s clearly prophets that may speak to God, I’m certain,” Zimmerman mentioned.

Outdoors the constructing, I eavesdropped as a couple of dozen attendees smoked cigarettes whereas chatting about their favourite far-right media personalities.

“I fall asleep listening to InfoWars.”

“That BS with the Sandy Hook lawsuit fucked him over.”

“We have been listening to Ben Shapiro on native radio — he talks too quick, although.”

“Tucker Carlson — he’s so humorous typically. He simply cracks me up. And that snicker of his!”

Lisa, from Elizabethtown, lit a second cigarette after agreeing to clarify her “Save The Kids” T-shirt to me. The Illuminati, she mentioned, are harvesting adrenochrome from the blood of sex-trafficked children in underground tunnels. She’d seen video proof of those rituals by way of DuckDuckGo — a Pennsylvania-based search engine. She rotated so I might see the again of her shirt, replete with a map of “THE TUNNEL SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES.”

This conspiracy concept is on the coronary heart of QAnon, the authoritarian fantasy that in the future Trump will destroy this cabal of pedophiles, who by the way are his political foes. Help for QAnon was evident on the Nice ReAwakening — with one speaker main the gang in reciting the motion’s slogan, “The place we go one, we go all.” However it was far much less pronounced than it’d’ve been at a MAGA occasion two or three years in the past.

I known as Thomas LeCaque, an affiliate professor of historical past at Grand View College who research apocalyptic faith and political violence, to ask him whether or not this was as a result of QAnon’s model, with all of its wild prophecies and numerologies, and its affiliation with the Jan. 6 rebellion, had merely turn into too poisonous. “I believe it’s a lot worse than that,” he mentioned. “I believe QAnon grew to become so normalized within the far proper that you just don’t want the precise banners of Q to announce it’s already there.”

Once you peel away all of the “genuinely batshit loopy prophetic features,” LeCaque defined, QAnon at its core is a “mass homicide fantasy” in regards to the coming “storm” when the entire MAGA motion’s enemies might be arrested and lynched.

“The ideology that your enemies are literal monsters and that one thing must be carried out about them — that half has sadly turn into far too mainstream,” LeCaque mentioned. “I believe that’s the half that ought to fear us much more. Prefer it’s very easy to make enjoyable of QAnon in its purest state, however QAnon’s precise core is that you just want mass homicide to save lots of America, and that half hasn’t died.”

Contained in the convention, there was pleasure in regards to the arrival of Trump’s grownup son. “Does anyone on this room not assume that we gained Pennsylvania?” Eric Trump requested the gang after taking the stage. “It was the largest fraud.”

He then gave a speech much like those he’s given at different ReAwaken tour stops — the election was stolen, Christianity is below assault, liberals are indoctrinating your children in faculties — earlier than taking out his cellphone and calling his dad.

Eric Trump held the cellphone to the microphone so the gang, rising ecstatic, might hear the previous president say, “We love you. We’re going to convey this nation again as a result of I believe our nation has by no means been in such dangerous form as it’s now.”

The group began to chant: “Trump! Trump! Trump!”

Then Eric Trump thanked Clark, the convention’s organizer, who had joined him on stage. “I really like you guys,” he instructed Clark, “the job you’ve carried out…” The group began to cheer loudly for Clark. I used to be shut sufficient to the stage to see the tears welling up in Clark’s eyes.

Clark is a far-right podcaster and enterprise marketing consultant from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who believes {that a} 2013 prophecy from a self-anointed Christian “prophet” named Kim Clement about “a person by the identify of Mr. Clark and… one other man by the identify of Donald” was about him and Trump.

He interpreted this prophecy as a name from God to launch the Nice ReAwakening, holding the present’s first iteration in Tulsa final April. He has used the tour to push the unhinged conspiracy concept that the COVID vaccine is a trick by billionaire Invoice Gates to change our DNA, making the variety of genes a variant of the satan’s quantity — 666, also called the “Mark of the Beast.”

“The shot, the injection, the bioweapon, what’s being known as the vaccine —everybody must look this up — it’s known as SM-102,” Clark mentioned. “A core ingredient of the shot, SM-102, additionally comprises a know-how known as luciferase—Lucifer race.”

Now, right here he was being thanked by Eric Trump in entrance of hundreds of individuals. “He doesn’t have to be doing this crap, and neither do I, frankly,” Eric Trump mentioned of Clark. “However the man doesn’t cease as a result of he loves this nation, and he loves the whole lot this nation stands for. And you’re unimaginable at the whole lot you place collectively.”

After Eric’s speech, many within the crowd began to filter out of the Spooky Nook complicated, strolling again to their automobiles because the solar set. A middle-aged white couple named Carl and Lori have been driving a pink, white and blue pickup truck lined in decals spelling out, “Doug Mastriano For Governor.”

“He’s gonna do all he’s gonna say he’s gonna do,” Carl mentioned of Mastriano. “No same-sex marriage, no killing infants, that’s the primary factor, and taking good care of the faculties and never having lecturers instructing what they’re instructing. All this transgender goings-ons and all that crap.”

Carl liked all of the audio system at Nice ReAwakening. Lori notably favored the prophet Julie Inexperienced.

“She’s an excellent, sturdy Christian girl,” Lori mentioned. “God speaks to her.”

On day two of the Nice ReAwakening, I met Micki Witthoeft, the mom of Ashli Babbitt, the girl fatally shot by Capitol police as she tried to crawl by means of a shattered window into the Speaker’s Foyer throughout the rebellion.

Witthoeft carried a small, 19-year-old canine named Fuggles in a backpack as she walked across the convention. She wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the letters “J4J6” — Justice For Jan. 6 — subsequent to a photograph of her daughter outdoors the Capitol constructing.

“That’s my daughter an hour earlier than she was murdered by the US authorities,” Witthoeft mentioned.

This was her fourth time at a Nice ReAwakening occasion. She was right here with Randy Eire, who led the New York chapter of the Proud Boys, a violent neo-fascist gang that performed a serious function within the rebellion. She and Eire had joined forces to boost consciousness in regards to the mistreatment of Jan. 6 prisoners, who they mentioned have been being “robbed” of their due rights below the Structure.

Each month they host a candlelight vigil outdoors the jail in D.C. the place just a few dozen alleged insurrectionists are being detained. “We pray,” Witthoeft mentioned. “We sing hymns. Now we have call-ins from the prisoners that we put out over livestream by means of a microphone and the phone, after which at 9 o’clock, all of us sing the Nationwide Anthem.”

I requested her how she felt in regards to the Nice ReAwakening.

“I believe there’s quite a lot of completely different folks right here with quite a lot of completely different messages, however one constant message is we want God on this nation. We want God in our lives. We want God to maneuver us ahead in our paths, individually and collectively. And so I consider, you realize, it’s a feel-good second for lots of people which might be right here.”

Close by folks lined as much as be healed by prophets, to have their demons solid out. Over on the primary stage, a assassin’s row of bigots, grifters, COVID-deniers, and QAnon influencers gave speeches. It grew to become clear that Mastriano wasn’t going to indicate. He was talking at a rally up in Scranton and certain wouldn’t have time to get right here. Not that he was going to sway any voters right here, anyway. He had their votes. His marketing campaign staff packed up their sales space and walked out of Spooky Nook.

In his scheduled time slot, Donné Clement Petruska, the daughter of the late “prophet” Kim Clement, took to the stage and performed movies of her dad “prophesying” Sept. 11, the rise of ISIS, and the election of Trump.

The group oohed and aahed.

The following morning at LifeGate church in Elizabethtown, Pastor Pete Ogilvie used a part of his sermon to speak in regards to the Nice ReAwakening convention. “It was like consuming water from a firehose, the discharge of all the data and issues — I couldn’t take all of it in,” he mentioned.

“It was a disturbing convention,” he mentioned. “It was pretty and disturbing abruptly.”

I had come to LifeGate due to its shut ties to Mastriano and its involvement with the GOP. Lancaster On-line, the native newspaper, had reported that 4 LifeGate members, together with one with direct ties to an armed militia, had been working as a safety group for Mastriano on the marketing campaign path. Considered one of them, Jim Emery, together with two different LifeGate members — Stephen and Danielle Lindemuth, who have been on the Jan. 6 rally that was the rebellion — additionally gained seats on the native college board.

The church was making actual inroads into native politics. I observed Emery sitting behind the church throughout the sermon, holding the sword that had lately been in Mastriano’s Harrisburg workplace. Emery raised the sword aloft when he felt moved by the pastor’s phrases.

“These are the issues that we come in opposition to within the identify of Jesus, that we wage conflict with, and these are the issues that we’ll declare victory over as we speak!” Ogilvie declared. On the wall behind him, a projector displayed a protracted listing of the church’s enemies:

“Mail-in Ballots, Dominion Machines, Election Day lasting longer than per week, Stolen elections, An illegitimate Administration within the WH….Human-Trafficking, Fentynol flooding our nation, opioid habit rampant, sexual immorality being the usual, Greed, Satanic Worship… Doctrines of demons, Vital Race Principle in our faculties, Porn in our libraries, Boys competing in lady’s sports activities, pronoun protocols, Liberal media lies and canceling the conservative voices…”

Ogilive clicked by means of to the subsequent slide:

“Medical Tyranny, Masks mandates, Vaccination Mandates, Covid Testing… Clause Schwab, George Soros, Fauci, Invoice Gates, Hunter Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Tom Wolf, Richard Levine, Gerry Nadler, the Jan. 6 Committee, Liz Cheney, The remainder of the swamp in Each Events, and Each Homes of Congress and the Senate….”

“Lord, we consider that each one these enemies of Your Phrase will fall, all of your enemies will cower,” Ogilive mentioned.

Somebody behind the church blew by means of a shofar.

“Lord, we thanks, we solely have enemies as a result of you’ve got enemies,” he added. “All of your enemies are below your toes, and due to this fact they’re below ours.”
