Mike Johnson Gathers Far-Right Christians to Cast Out Demons
Rolling Stone ^ | February 6 2024 | Tim Dickenson

Posted on 02/06/2024 11:12:50 AM PST by tired&retired

GOP lawmakers and extremist pastors joined together to repent over LGBTQ freedoms, abortion, and nonbelievers

NATIONAL GATHERING FOR PRAYER AND REPENTANCE House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and two dozen members of Congress assembled at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., last week for the second-annual National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance. The event was chock-a-block with Christian nationalist pastors and featured a clarion call for spiritual warfare, with members of Congress beseeching fellow Christians to “tie the hands of Satan” and to “bind the demonic forces” that are supposedly possessing America.

From the article:
“Yet at NGPR, the usually stiff-starched Perkins was speaking the expansive language of the Charismatics.
“We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,” he told the crowd.”


Oh, the horror!
Imagine a pastor quoting Ephesians 6:12!
These people proudly wallow in their Biblical illiteracy.

The article has some quotes concerning evil which — although the author was ridiculing them — are absolutely correct and I enjoyed reading them.

Rolling Stone magazine is total leftist trash. It bankrupted itself, but was revived because the brand name has some propaganda value among old stoners and 60+ hippies.

Don’t trust a word that’s printed in this dog-s*** magazine

“Christian nationalist pastors ...”

What the hell does that (even) mean? This is the bottom line-—it’s not about Trump, or Capitalism or America-—it’s about seething hatred of Christians and their intent to destroy us!

Imagine doing an article like this on gays or trans....

That's not the same thing as casting out demons. The author is ignorant.

I saw a picture of Schumer and a group of Dem Senate leaders in front of the Capitol last night so clearly it didn’t work.

Rolling Stone is bankrupt garbage.

The prayer we need to say is that of Jerimiah:

Jeremiah 10:23-25
New King James Version
23 O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself;
It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.
24 O Lord, correct me, but with justice;
Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing.
25 Pour out Your fury on the Gentiles, who do not know You,
And on the families who do not call on Your name;
For they have eaten up Jacob,
Devoured him and consumed him,
And made his dwelling place desolate.

Because Mike Johnson is absolutely on the right track!

Unless and until this nation repents and returns to God, we will continue to reap the chastisements that we've earned.

Guess if they were ordering $65,000 worth of "pizza" and "hotdogs" at 2AM for the White House, the Rolling Dopes wouldn't have a problem?

You get through all of Mein Kampf? I’ve tried a couple of times but gave up after 3 chapters or so. Too crazy to follow.

You are so right.

This is the same alleged person who wrote a vicious hit piece against Johnathan Cahn, which was so venomous and evil that Rabbi Cahn had to make a video refuting the article.

If you want to find demons in Congress take a look at the person in front of you, in back of you, to your left and to your right.

You are statistically certain to find at least one.
