Read the whole thing. It’s quite shocking and I’m PRAYING against this man making any in-roads politics.

[…] We may have just seen the national debut of a new phase of political activism by the Religious Right that is the culmination of decades of planning. Following are five significant points about the rally that have not yet made it into mainstream press.

1. Significance of the 50-State “Prayer Warrior” Communication Networks

An analysis in the Washington Post read, “… organizing a prayer gathering in your home state isn’t the same thing as winning votes in places like Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.” This article does not take into account the NAR’s 50-state network of “prayer warriors.” At the moment there are three different national networks under the authority of Dutch Sheets, Cindy Jacobs, and John Benefiel. Both of the last two endorsed Perry’s event.

2. Coded But Blatant Political Messaging

The political messages were blatant but “for the choir” only. Perry walked out onto the stage and gave his speech with C. L. Jackson [prominent African American pastor and was a leading Houston Democrat] and Apostle Alice Patterson [author of “Bridging the Racial and Political Divide,” the book that is the source of her quote about the “demonic structure behind the Democratic Party] by his side. There’s a big story here.

While the Tea Party is being described as racist, the NAR is developing a “rainbow religious right.” The front row at Perry’s event looked like the U.N. It was most certainly staged, considering the rest of the audience, but it was effective.

3. Changing Public Tone Toward Jews

[…]
Finto is one of the most revered figures among the apostles and is at the center of an international network of support for Messianic Jews and missions to proselytize Jews in Israel and worldwide. They make Jews for Jesus look like amateurs. Finto wrote the manual for how Christian Zionists should befriend Jews and ingratiate themselves in Jewish communities. This book has been distributed through the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem, the largest international Christian Zionist event in the world.
Finto openly prayed for conversion of Jews of the world in order to bring about Jesus’ return. He then invited Messianic Rabbi Marty Waldman to join him at the microphone.

4. Mike Bickle’s Leading Role

Another shocker was that Mike Bickle led part of the event. The event organizers came from Mike Bickle’s youth-oriented International House of Prayer (IHOP) and Lou Engle’s The Call, based at IHOP Kansas City. After Lou Engle, Bickle is one of the most controversial figures in the movement and source of the “Oprah as forerunner of the anti-Christ” statement that made the news. However, Bickle is a toxic figure in much of the evangelical world. He was the leader of the “Kansas City Prophets” in the 1980 and 1990s and was at the center of a very divisive dispute in Charismatic evangelicalism.

5. The Event Was Not Representative of all Conservative Evangelicals

Continuing the point about Mike Bickle, this event did not represent all conservative evangelicals. Although the big name family values guys - James Dobson, Tony Perkins, Donald Wildmon, and others - have been joining forces with the apostles for several years, this partnership is very controversial. The apostles plans to revamp Protestantism, eradicate denominations, their radical end times theology, and boisterous Charismatic manifestations are feared, and rightfully so, by many fundamentalists and evangelicals.

I didn’t understand #5, but there was a link here that reads:

The Response, a prayer and fasting event featuring rumored presidential candidate and Texas Gov. Rick Perry and financed by the American Family Association, has drawn heat from faith leaders and the civil liberties groups who say the event leaves out people who are not conservative Christians and blurs the line between church and state. But the Aug. 6 event has also received sharp criticism from within the conservative Christian movement for some of its sponsors who hail from the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement, a branch of Pentecostalism that some view as pagan because it works to ‘divorce’ America from a demon called Baal.
