Lance Wallnau Calling On God To Strike Down Trump Foes (VIDEO)



When the Senate Intelligence Committee released James Comey’s written testimony on Wednesday night, it was clear that Donald Trump was in a lot of trouble. After all, there aren’t many good-faith reasons for why Trump would have asked everyone on hand for a counterterrorism briefing to leave the room before telling Comey that he hoped he could let the investigation into Michael Flynn go.

But even in the face of this, one of Trump’s loudest religious right cheerleaders still wants his followers to keep bowing down to him. Not only that, he wanted them to pray that the legs get cut out from under against those who dare raise their voices against the Donald.

Just hours after Comey’s testimony went live, Lance Wallnau took to Facebook from his hotel room in California to rally the fundie troops before Comey testified. People for the American Way’s Right Wing Watch got a clip.

Wallnau said that contrary to what the “CNN-MSNBC conspiracy crowd” would have us believe, there was nothing wrong with Trump’s demand for loyalty from Comey. Nor was their anything wrong with pressing Comey to back off on the Flynn investigation–he was merely “showing loyalty to his own team” by asking for an end to the “legal harassment” Flynn was facing.

He then said that he was “fed up with the swamp creatures” on both sides of the aisle, as well as in the media, who oppose Trump. As he saw it, it was time for Trump’s charismatic and Pentecostal supporters to go on the offense. For starters, he suggested that his followers direct their prayers at the parent companies of CNN and MSNBC, since they were “funding the assault” on Trump–an assault that has torn the country apart “from the inside out.”

With this in mind, he asked God to forgive America for its “arrogance” and “lack of gratitude,” and prayed that Washington be delivered from “demonic gridlock in the swamp.” He also prayed for a “covering” over Trump, whom he has long maintained is a Cyrus-like figure. The basis for his prayer at the outset was Isaiah 44.


Wallnau hammered heavily on verse 25, which talks about how God frustrates “the tokens of liars and makes the diviners mad, and turns wise men backward and makes their knowledge foolish.” He believed that in this case, it was referring to “lawyers, lobbyists, and politicians” who are against Trump. He not only targeted CNN and MSNBC, but also Republican never-Trumpers.

Later, he prayed that Trump’s foes be the ones who get tripped up.

“I thank you, Lord, that right now you’re frustrating the predictions of diviners, you’re driving them crazy because Trump keeps eluding the net. And I pray, even as you dealt with Bill Maher and you dealt with Kathy Griffin and you dealt with Stephen Colbert, I pray that the pit that they dug, they fall into themselves. I pray that their words they have spoken even turn back upon them.”

But Wallnau wasn’t done yet. He prayed that anyone who “dishonors,” “disrespects” and “mocks” Trump have the rug pulled out from under them–since, for all intents and purposes, they were mocking God himself.

“I pray now that you are going to turn upon those that are ministering a spirit of strife and contention and dishonor and disrespect and sowing rebellion and witchcraft in the nation. I pray that you cast them out of their position!”

Wallnau obviously hoped to whip his followers up into a frenzy so they would pray against those supposed demonic forces. It worked. Here’s a sample of the comments from the video.

“Father Yahovah, let no weapon formed prosper against your Anointed President and Vice President, their families and supporters. Protect us with a shield around, above, and below us. Make all weapons, plots and schemes turn and backfire on the Evil ones instead, and DESTROY THEM AND THEIR AGENDA in Yahshua’s Name, Amen! Hallelujah!”
“God will be enabled and protection sustained by our prayers…swamp is drained supernaturally!”
“The swamp is beyond desperate to try to get some lie to stick. It won’t work. God is in charge and His Will will be done”
“George Soros son this week partying with Chelsea Clinton. Break that generational demonic plan.”
“Haaaaa!!! EXPOSE THE LIES IN JESUS NAME!!!”
“Expose the liars… frustrate the liars! Let Truth run into the liars and then let the liars fall.”
“Send confusion into the camp of the enemy”
“Frustrate the activities of all of these liars and make them crazy in Jesus’ Name!!”
“I agree Lance and pray that the bablings of the media carry no merit to the public and that they will fall in their own pit. They themselves will be stopped instead of God’s appointed leader.
Frustrate all the plans of the enemy against our President!”
“The TV stations are saying what God wants them to say right now because they are being exposed …this is what Kim Clement said would happen…. Expose them Lord”
“Jesus just like prayers won the election prayers will win this situation. Frogs in Revelations be eaten by the speakers mouths. Unclean spirits leave America now in Jesus Name. Holy Spirit you control America”
“Father, we ask that you cause chaos and confusion in the camps of the enemies of our President in the Mighty Name of Your Son, Jesusus Christ!! Amen and Amen!”
“Down with the enemies of the presdient”
“Those causing disrespect, rebellion and dishonor to the Office of the President be dealt with by God!”

As a left-leaning charismatic/Pentecostal, this sent a chill down my spine.

Wallnau then urged his Facebook followers to share his video during Comey’s testimony. If he was hoping to diffuse the impact of Comey’s testimony, it didn’t work. We now know, for instance, that the memos Comey wrote of his conversations with Trump were leaked to The New York Times at Comey’s request–with the specific intention of forcing the appointment of a special counsel. That strongly suggests Comey believes something illegal was going on. But then again, you would think that something would have happened to derail the hearing altogether had Wallnau’s prayer worked.


One interesting side note–Wallnau prayed for Melania to get the baptism in the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues. Be careful what you wish for, Lance. God could open her eyes and turn Melania into another Dianne Bentley. Remember how that ended? Dianne busted her husband, Alabama governor Robert Bentley, for cheating on her and using state resources to cover it up. Due in large part to evidence she gleaned, Robert resigned rather than face certain impeachment and removal. Perhaps Trump’s presidency could end the same way.

An attempt to turn him into a member of the religious right in college only succeeded in turning him into the religious right's worst nightmare--a charismatic Christian who is an unapologetic liberal. His desire to stand up for those who have been scared into silence only increased when he survived an abusive three-year marriage. You may know him on Daily Kos as Christian Dem in NC.
