GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump met and prayed with about 40 religious leaders and pastors in his Trump Tower office Monday afternoon.
Among the attendees were televangelists Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, conservative evangelical Christian Pastor David Jeremiah, TBN religious broadcaster Jan Crouch, Pastor Paula White, Jews For Jesus Rabbi Kirt Schneider and Pastor Darrell Scott.
The meeting lasted roughly two and a half hours and ended with pastors gathering around Trump and laying their hands on him in prayer. Kenneth Copeland, Paula White, and Rabbi Schneider prayed during that time, asking the Lord to give the GOP presidential frontrunner wisdom, stability and knowledge necessary to pursue this endeavor. They also prayed for America and for God's will to be done.
During the meeting, he talked about his Christian faith. At one point he admitted that he may not have read the Bible as much as the pastors in the room. As the conversation continued, a few of the ministers implored Trump to tone done some of his harsh rhetoric.
Pastor Scott, who was present in the meeting and is neutral in this presidential race, said Trump humbly received the message by nodding his head, listening attentively and not being combative at all.
“He has a very high regard and a very deep respect for men and woman of the cloth,” Scott tells The Brody File.
As for additional subject matter, Trump told the religious leaders and pastors that he will be a strong supporter of Israel and that defeating ISIS would be a strong part of his agenda. He also discussed trade, balancing the budget, eliminating the deficit and tax reform.
As for faith issues, he talked about how religious liberty and Christianity is under attack in America and that there is a lot of religious intolerance for Christianity in today’s society.
The subject of race relations also came up when some of the African-American pastors in the room mentioned that there seems to be some detachment between him and the black community. While citing some polls to the contrary, Scott told The Brody File that Trump agreed with the overall assessment and would try to do a better job.
Scott believes the GOP presidential frontrunner made headway during the meeting.
“I think Donald Trump changed the opinions of the African-American pastors that were in the room. They saw a side of him outside of the media depiction, and that they would give strong consideration in regards to supporting his candidacy."

I dont have as much as a blog
Im not worried about RATINGS nor LIKEABILITY
Im telling you guys what I know about the MEDIA and ADVERTISING
this is a MASTERFUL use of both!
I agree that the Pope has no relevance as a person for me. However, I can’t realize your statement that you ‘want someone willing to be led’. I would like a person of my
choice to be a leader. I believe that Trump would be satisfactory.
Sorry, but really Donald? These are your "religious leaders?
“its a TOOL”
Yes, it is - part of the sales pitch - obvious to many of us.
Sorry. I meant “led by God”-—someone willing to listen to Gid, like Washington, Lincoln, and Reagan.
Good for her.
I lost so much respect for Jindal and Walker this campaign. J. C. Watts, former congressman, used to say, “What’s down in the well will come up in te bucket.” I think we’ve seen what’s in Wakker’s and Jindal’s wells.
all of the notable tyrants and dictators who have been voted into power used precisely the same techniques we are witnessing here in 2015 on a daily basis.
how this is being missed by the “public at large” doesnt say much for the “public at large”
John 3:16
.
So, now you post a new strawman to me, twisting MeshugeMikey’s post #57
Thanks for throwing your panties on the stage.
Pile is growing fast.
.
>> “John 3:16” <<
A very abused, and misunderstood scripture reference.
To understand it fully, one must read all of Yeshua’s discussion with Nicodemus.
.
Nothing was twisted except in your pre-conceived notion of how you would interpret #57.
Consider growing-TF up, ok?
Sorry, not buying your mind control propaganda, nor your abundant straw.
Abundant straw as I said.
