Pro-Trump Christian group announces march to 'destroy' Obama's 'spiritual walls'

[DonViejo]

“By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days.” – Hebrews 11:30

With that quote from the Old Testament of the Bible in mind, a conservative Christian group has unveiled what they’re calling a “Jericho March” around the White House and the Capitol, beginning Saturday, timed to welcome the inauguration of president-elect Donald Trump.

And without referring to President Obama by name, the Intercessors for America lumped him in with Satan in its call to the faithful to take part in its “prayer walk.” Note that its press release announces that the march will begin Friday, but also says that it begins Saturday.

“For too long, our adversary has built mighty walls around our elected officials in Washington, D.C. So, starting on Jan. 13, 2017, we will begin a seven-day Jericho march around the White House and Capitol, culminating with a mighty ‘shout’ by believers across the nation as President-elect Donald Trump takes the oath of office and is installed as our new president of the United States of America.”



Lest you dismiss this bunch as a pack of wackos, a quick check of its Facebook page reveals unto us more than 17,000 users have liked the Intercessors for America, and the group has almost 17,000 followers. So, they’re for real.

But organizers of the “Jericho March” recognize that not every member of the flock can join the herd on the appointed days. “Those not able to be in D.C. during these times may do the same during their prayer times,” reads its press release, allowing far away faithful to telecommute their protest when convenient.

1. Do these flying clouds of debris actually vote? Or even know how?

2. LOL, remember when they were praying for heavy rain when Obama accepted the Dem nomination?

Went off without a hitch.

Stuart Shepard of Focus on the Family, one of America's leading evangelical groups, was shown in a video filmed at Denver's Invesco Field, where 75,000 are expected to cheer Mr Obama on Aug 28, asking Christians to pray for "torrential" rain.

"I'm talking 'umbrella-ain't-going-to-help-you rain," the former pastor and television meteorologist said. He explained on the video: "I'm still pro life, and I'm still in favour of marriage as being between one man and one woman. And I would like the next president who will select justices for the next Supreme Court to agree."

A few days later the GOP convention was delayed because of Hurricane Gustav. They also had to delay in 2012 because of Hurricane Isaac.

4. You cannot be Christian and be pro-Trump.

Our argument is simple: A Christian who supports Trump either does not understand this person and his positions, or supports him in spite of Christian convictions.
