Low-Rent Palin: Run for Senate? "If God wants me to do it, I will" but Christians must back her.

.


Oh, but the sacrifices she must make. . .


Former Alaska governor and failed vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin told New Apostolic Reformation leader Ché Ahn last week that she would run for the U.S. Senate if God wants her to. Palin appeared with Ahn at a leadership conference cosponsored by Ahn’s Harvest International Ministry and Mario Bramnick’s Latino Coalition for Israel. “Prophet” Cindy Jacobs prayed over Palin and declared that God is raising up an army of pastors and intercessors that will take her “all the way to the top” when she takes her next “big step.” Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke to the same gathering.

In January, on the eve of the Capitol insurrection, Ahn appeared at a so-called Stop the Steal rally in Washington D.C., where he declared, “I believe that this week we’re going to throw Jezebel out and Jehu’s gonna rise up, and we’re gonna rule and reign through President Trump and under the lordship of Jesus Christ.”

In an on-stage interview with Ahn on July 22, Palin declared that “America was dedicated to God,” adding that “our charters of liberty are written about and to God.” She warned that a “rapid shift to the left” happening now would lead to the destruction of the country if pastors are not bolder. “How dare we strip from our Creator what our founders had dedicated to him?” she asked. “How dare you try to take that back and change if for mankind, for some kind of secular use, secular enjoyment?”

She returned to the theme later in the interview. “Are we gonna let them fundamentally transform the nation that does belong to God?” she asked. “How dare we take from God what is his and say we’re going to do what we want to do with it?”

Ahn asked Palin if she would consider running for U.S. Senate from Alaska; she said she would have to pray about it, suggesting that it would be a big sacrifice to leave her home in “God’s country” for the hostile “bubble” of Washington, D.C. “If God wants me to do it, I will,” she said. But, she added, Christians would have to do a better job supporting her than they did during her run for the White House.

As a 'Good Christian' if God wants her to do something, she shouldn't have to pray about it. She should do what is instructed.

Apparently God speaks to Sarah through the image in her bathroom mirror.

The prophet Ahn declared that God was going to throw Jezebel out and whatever mishmash of old testament misquotes got thrown around. But in the long run, I guess you could say that Jehu was overthrown (Trump) and Jezebel was ousted (melania) and Ahn was right.

I think she missed the message from gawd - he doesn't want her to run.

She like a cast member of The Righteous Gemstones on HBO, only in real life. Grifters gonna grift.

Like the bad guys in the film "Kingdom of Heaven," they just shout, "God wills it!" and expect their mindless minions to believe it and do whatever ridiculous (and often fatal) task is demanded of them.

Maybe, open the sky up and God can tell all of us, "yeah, I want Sarah Palin and/or any Republican to win the election". Just once.

Wouldn't she be running to represent all Alaskans? And since there are more non-Christians than Christians in Alaska, isn't that sort of self-defeating.
