Black fellow just prayed that amazing emotional prayer. I did not catch his name. Very earnest.
I don’t know, but unless I missed it, I’m thrilled he didn’t have that imam pray, as was previously reported that he would.
He really went to town, didn't he? I felt sorry for the fellow who had to follow that. LOL!
This was an example of a prayer that was said for the benefit of the people listening and not out of Love of God.
It was emotionally manipulative.
It will cause people to lift up the person saying the prayer, and not help people find God.
I’ve spent thirty plus years studying mind control and manipulation in religious settings, traveling the world to visit many cultures, various religions and diverse denominations within the religions. These included Christian, Messianic Jewish, Pentacostal, Charismatic Catholic, and even New Age Cults. It included Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim services. The techniques are the same no matter the setting.
Charisma does not lead one to God. It leads people away from God.
I studied and learned stage hypnosis and observed it being used to induce trance states in religious services. (I have never used this in practice, nor will I as it is dangerous and hatmful.) These are not restricted to the poor and uneducated, but also the wealthy and highly educated.
Early in this journey I attended a Christian Businessman’s Association Meeting with an evangelist speaking to about 80 people. These successful, educated attendees swallowed it hook line and sinker. They spoke in tongues and were drunk with the Spirit. Except, there was no Holy Spirit present.
The evangelist used stage hypnosis techniques in a religious setting to put people in a trance. The attendees would swear on a Bible they were Born Again. It had nothing to do with religion. It was mind control and manipulation.
I walked outside and stood in the cold rain, feeling physically sick at what I had observed.
I turned to God in tears and asked, “ Why was I led here to see this atrocity?”
The answer came strong and loud, “This is how the anti-messiah will lead my people astray.”
Hypnosis is an emotional external surrender to ANOTHER PERSON. True spiritual surrender can only be within self to God.
These are words of warning. Discount them if you wish. You will remember my words when your external surrender becomes aware to you and you realize that you were led astray.
Blessings to everyone on your individual journey to fond and experience God.

he was awesome
“Very earnest.”
That’s putting it mildly.
Loved the words, but the “showmanship” was just a bit too much.
He invoked the power name of Jesus Christ many times. That is all anyone needs.
Critical spirits are not from God
Some people will find fault where none exists.
So it seems.
I think your post is a little over the top...and unnecessary.
People worship in different ways, and you don’t know what’s in their hearts, or what God thinks of their worship.

Not trying to be sarcastic, but at first I thought he might be blind. Then he opened his eyes wide as he looked up at the sky and continued his prayer. He did a great job.

He was INCREDIBLE!
The America conservatives want.
We are all Gods children, no more hateful leftist racebaiting.
We are all Americans.
SO REFRESHING
Detroit may yet have it’s renaissance. If President Trump can light the spark that makes it happen, what a fitting gift to Michigan and the Black community that is majority there. Would love to leverage low energy costs to rebuild manufacturing there.
My guess it was Vance’s mother. She stood by his family while he was sworn in.
He was simply........ AWESOME!
JD’s mother.
Old time religion...I love it!
I thought JD’s mom was the woman in the red dress. This woman was with a man with a tan sitting directly behind Barron.
The speech moved me to tears & tremble.
Oh yeah, I wish we could hear more of things like that! He was on fire!
