Megachurch Pastor Praises Pro-Choice Politician, Kari Lake, Says God Told Him She Was in a “Deborah Season”
Disntr ^ | July 29, 2024 | staff

Comparing Kari Lake to Deborah is like comparing a fox to a shepherd—foolish and insulting.

In his latest sermon, Pastor Luke Barnett of Dream City Church showered Lake, a pro-choice Republican politician, with praise, likening her to the biblical prophet Deborah. “We are actually very honored and privileged to have an incredible guest with us this morning… We have Kari Lake in the house,” Barnett gushed.

But let’s cut to the chase, this isn’t just political pandering—it’s a theological parody of the biblical narrative. Barnett didn’t stop there. He claimed, as she stands up to thunderous applause, “the Lord put on my heart that you are in a Deborah season.”

Seriously?

Are we to believe that God equates a pro-choice advocate with a biblical judge who actually upheld God’s law?

This is not prophetic insight—it’s political sycophancy at its worst.

Remember, Kari Lake is on record supporting pro-choice positions. Did Barnett mention that? Is that what Barnett’s version of the “prophet Deborah” stood for? Turning a blind eye to the killing of innocent babies?

Earlier this year, Lake explained how she is “personally chose life,” but doesn’t believe that abortion should be banned and that every woman should be forced to make the same decision that she did.

These clowns need to stop calling themselves pro-life because the very definition of “pro-choice” is believing that people should be able to “choose” whether or not they kill their child.

Anyway, I digress. Barnett has the gall to say, “you are in a Deborah season… God blesses you and anoints you in this season.” This isn’t just stupid—it’s a slap in the face to anyone who holds biblical teachings sacred.

What’s next, Pastor Barnett? Shall we compare Jezebel to Esther? The folly would be laughable if it weren’t so offensive. This isn’t just a harmless analogy, it’s a dangerous precedent that distorts scripture for political gain.

By equating Lake with Deborah, Barnett not only misleads his congregation but also undermines the integrity of the revealed word of God. Deborah was a prophetess and judge who led Israel with divine wisdom.

Lake, in contrast, while maybe “less evil” than her Democrat counterparts, still supports policies fundamentally opposed to a biblical worldview.

This is borderline, if not outright blasphemous.

His dad was credited with growing the Davenport Iowa West Side Assembly of God from less than 100 to over 3,000 by the time he left for Phoenix in 1979.

That’s easy to do when you have very little standards. I remember going to a disco in Davenport one night around june 1977. A group of about 20 young adults were outside warning people that going in there was sinful, and to live for Jesus. And to come to Westside AOG.

If they hadn’t been speaking up no one would have had a clue who they represented, because they looked no different than people going in the disco, especially the girls: complete paint jobs, skin tight clothes, short skirts, etc. The guys were wearing tight clothes and sporting the with-it long hair styles.

That night, my steady, at the time, was a baptist preacher’s daughter. As we walked through the crowd to enter, one girl told us to follow Jesus, not the devil. My date, who loved to dance, turned toward her and said, “I’m a Christian”. The girl said, “Then you should be helping us”.

My date ignored that, and as we kept walking to the door my date said, “we don’t drink liquor, we just like to dance”. I just stayed quiet, knowing my gyrating at times like Tom Jones was certainly not Christ-like.

Two years later I wouldn’t be doing that any more, and I wouldn’t be dressing like Tom either. Married, (not to the Baptist date), God would be directing my path to his ways.

That’s the thing about what I call ‘cool cat church’: Weak on doctrine and holiness, strong on sex appeal.

God isn’t talking to anyone. That is what the Bible is for.

The question is, would Lake support justices on the Supreme Court that will continue to allow states to decide the issue of abortion? The answer is yes.

Would she oppose taxpayer funding for abortion? The answer is yes.

And, we know Gallego would do just the opposite.

No pro-lifer with a brain would refuse to vote for her.

But, stand on principle and allow Democrats to win and let more babies die...Absolutely moronic.

A heretic would be one supporting Harris or pro-abortion Democrat. There are plenty of those.

The keyword is "megachurch".

Always a circus, one way or the other.

So, you don’t believe that God can talk to you or other people?
