As Trump Offers Cleveland New Hope, Pastors Pray To Protect Him from ‘Satanic Attack’ by Jack Davis 9/21/16
Evangelical Christians of multiple
races mixed their faith in God with their faith that Republican presidential
candidate Donald Trump can heal the nation on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, Trump appeared at the
Midwest Vision and Values Pastors Leadership Conference in Cleveland. “I want
to thank the African-American community because, I don’t know if
you’ve been watching, but the poll numbers are going like a rocket ship,” Trump
said. “I fully understand the African-American community has suffered from
discrimination.”
Trump said America’s cities must be
rebuilt. “It breaks my heart to see any American left behind or to see a city
like Cleveland that has had so many struggles, and that there are many wrongs
that still must be made right,” the GOP nominee said.
After Trump spoke to the assembled
crowd, Pastor Darrell Scott, a co-host of the event, spoke to Trump.
Scott
said a “nationally known” pastor, whom he did not identify, had warned Trump
“that if you choose to run for president, there’s going to be a concentrated Satanic attack against you.”
“He said there’s going to be a
demon, principalities and powers, that are going to war against you on a level
that you’ve never seen before, and I’m watching it every day,” Scott said,
referring to the opposition Trump’s candidacy has spawned.
Scott’s wife, Belinda, then led the
group in prayer as they gathered around Trump. “Now God, I ask that you would
touch this man, Donald J. Trump. Give him the anointing to lead this nation,”
she prayed.
The meeting was open to clergy or
all faiths and political ideologies. “I think it’s good he’s open to hearing
from clergy,” said Pastor Mike Wingerd of Emmanuel Assembly of God. “I’m very
glad he’s concerned about religious freedom.”
Scott, who led the session, had spoken for Trump at the Republican National Convention. “America is a
melting pot, a country of diversity. We stand poised to make history, by
standing together as Americans, as one. We are here as Americans regardless of
race, creed or color. We are here as those who hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that we are endowed by our
creator with certain inalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness,” he said.
“The truth is the Democratic Party
has failed us,” Scott said. “At home, our debt has grown, we are spiritually
empty and we are more divided now than we have ever been before. Abroad, we are
neither respected, we’re not feared by our adversaries, and our friends cannot
count on us either. This is their legacy, and we need to make a sharp turn. We
need to put into practice the great ideas and principles that our country was
founded on, and which, after God, are the source of strength that has made this
nation great.”
