Paula White’s ‘Victory’ Prayer About Trump, Africa Goes Viral [Watch]
“I hear a sound of victory,” U.S. televangelist Paula White chanted during a prayer service for U.S. President Donald Trump that’s gone viral.
White, a long-time confidant of the president, chanted “strike” repeatedly during a prayer service Wednesday invoking a higher power to nudge the close race for president in Trump’s favor.
“I hear a sound of victory,” she stated in a rhythmic fashion in the now-viral video. “I hear the sound of an abundance of rain.”
White later claims there are “demonic confederacies” at work to steal the election from Trump in favor of Joe Biden. Angelic forces, she later chants, are coming from Africa and South America.
The Reuters news service finds former U.S. Vice President Biden has secured 243 votes in the Electoral College to 214 for Trump, with 270 needed to win. The vote count in key states such as Pennsylvania is still underway as of Thursday morning, though the president’s team has filed several legal challenges calling for the counting to stop.
The reaction to White’s video ran the gamut from support to open hostility. This type of Christianity is “scary,” one reaction read. Another, without mentioning any of the candidates, said God’s “purpose for this nation will be done.”
White, through her own Twitter account, amplified the message that “some are trying to steal this election.”
Conservative Christian media suggest Trump draws overwhelming support from evangelicals by a wide margin, despite the president’s checkered past. That’s backed up by exit polling data from The New York Times that found 76% of those surveyed that identify as white evangelicals or white born-again Christians favored the president.
Trump, who counts White as his long-time spiritual advisor, considers himself a non-denominational Christian, while Biden is Catholic.
White's fiery rhetoric is nothing new. In January, she railed against “witchcraft” and called for “all Satanic pregnancies to miscarry right now.”
