Religious Right Intensifies Pro-Trump 'Spiritual Warfare' With Sunday's Day of Prayer

[Initech]

As Right Wing Watch noted earlier this week, more than 250 Religious Right leaders and activists have rallied around Franklin Graham’s call to make this Sunday, June 2, a national day of prayer to ask that God “protect, strengthen, embolden, and direct President Trump.” Graham declared that no other president in U.S. history has been attacked like Trump, and a “statement of faith” for the June 2 prayer day said “we pray that God will bless our president and our nation for His glory.”

Other groups and leaders have amplified Graham’s call as the weekend approaches. On Thursday, the American Family Association republished instructions for praying for Trump that it first published last year. The AFA said that Trump’s opposition to abortion and support for Jerusalem as Israel’s capital “are the kinds of accomplishments that make him very unpopular with the Devil and the kingdom of darkness. So the onslaught of opposition continues.” And, according to AFA, that means Christians “need to see the work of praying and interceding for the president of our nation” as “[e]xtremely intense and relentless spiritual warfare.”

“Prophetic” author and speaker Lance Wallnau, who has declared that Trump has God’s anointing to govern, used his Facebook page to call for “EMERGENCY PRAYER FOR PRESIDENT ON JUNE 2nd!” Wallnau made implicit reference to the Seven Mountains dominionism he promotes:

The Left has so much power concentrated in the Gates of Media, Entertainment, Wall Street and Government that it thinks it can derail Attorney General Barr, tarnish the President with impeachment and stop exposure of crimes in the Intelligence community. We are witnessing a spread of derangement from the Gates to the grass roots and the ONE POWER that stands in its path is the prevailing prayer of the people entrusted with power over the gates of Hell—the Church.

“This is what we will do,” wrote Wallnau. “Veto the gates of Hell.”

4. Religion is the opiate of the masses

In this particular case, however, we see people that see Trump as a vehicle to establish a theocracy in America. They are a threat to freedom and democracy.

He's got brass balls when it comes to shamelelssness and lying, too.

Maybe they just don't want him acting like a blubbering coward quite so much.

"Dear Lord, please watch out for our asshole messiah, that he may not snivel and whine so much, and act like he's a man instead of a terrified toddler. Amen."

12. This explains my in-laws attitude Memorial Day.

They have doubled down on the overt "look at me I'm religious, and you'd better be, too" shit. The only thing political was in the prayer about our country being free now.
