[Dialogue] My only word on Palin

[W. J.]

Steve, this is an amazing insight into the emotional basis for what may become "the lipstick election."
 
(And Obama could lose it just with the word "lipstick". Which points to the emotional craziness that can bias voter choices.)
 
I think we need to become fully bi-cultural, so as to speak to this sliver of the electorate, including addressing their enormous fear.
 
A BIG CLUE to understanding their mythology is that Alaska is seen as a 'refuge' state (and not for wildlife--screw the wildlife or shoot 'em for food!), a shelter from Armageddon at the end of the world. It's gonna be where the Chosen Few, the Survivalists, gather in its somewhat pristine setting to await the Second Coming.
 
A video produced by Sarah Palin's  church proclaims with apocalyptic imagery that "God has a destiny for the state of Alaska!" and in another clip someone from the church affirms, "I believe that Alaska's one of the refuge states."

A focus on 'prophecy' is a way of narrowly envisioning and predicting an alternative reality, which fervent prayer and belief then calls into being. It's a hermetically sealed universe they're envisioning, with nothing that can break the trance or call it into question. And of course since God's totally in charge, it doesn't really matter what they do or say. Thus there are no ethical issues around taking responsibility for their words and actions.

Colleagues,
 
I hope the text I have copied below does not offend anyone, but I hope it disturbs everyone.  This was forwarded to me by a guy I went to high school with in Beaumont, Texas.  I thought I had heard just about everything the crazoid so-called "Christian" right could come up with, but this is so far out I'm amazed.  I couldn't have sat down and written a spoof of the religious right that would come close to this.  Especially note the use of the term "the enemy" near the end.
 
Read on,

Intercessors

Subject: Prophecy about McCain & Palin 




 Peg and I have just returned from our Sunday AM service.  As you know, we have been involved in 90 days of Hosting the Lord's Presence and it has been powerful...in a personal way.  We knew there has been lots of warfare, because when we get home we are tired and need a nap.   The Sunday AM celebrations have been just worship, with some intercessory prayer, but no preaching or teaching.  This morning after an extended time of worship, Dutch Sheets, our pastor, shared an exhortation, as he called it.  During this, Peg and I both were about to explode in our spirits.   

 I believe you are aware that Dutch was used by the Lord to call prayer before the 2000 Bush election that was so close.  He said this morning that this election is perhaps even more critical than 2000, because of the Supreme Court.  If the right political posture is not elected, we stand to lose decades of progress and the repurcussions are enormous. 

 Last year Chuck Pierce and Greg Hood prophesied that in 2008 we are not electing a president, but the vice president.  Dutch said he could get no release in his heart to back Huckaby. even though pressured by many in the body of Christ.  Huckaby is a good man and a strong believer, but he was not God's choice at this time. 

 Dutch also told us that he knows a man who gave McCain a prophetic word, that McCain had made a vow to God when he was at the bottom during his POW days, and now God was calling in that vow.  McCain was visibly moved by this word. 

 Dutch was traveling to Texas on Friday, and when he landed in the airport, his wife called and told him to get to the TV asap.  He watched McCain introduce Governor Palin, and said he began to weep, even though he knew nothing about her.  (I experienced the very same thing and we have had reports of many others including Newt Gingrich).   

 He asked what the significance of this 44-year-old woman was, and he saw the clock said 4:44.  He asked the Lord what that was, and the Lord said, 'Ezekiel 44:4.'  'He brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple; so I looked, and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD; and I fell on my face. NKJV  North gate representing Alaska.   

A few years ago Dutch and Chuck Pierce went on a 50-state tour prophesying over the state their part in God's purposes for the U.S.   

 At the meeting in Texas that evening Dutch was relaying his experience about the Governor to Chuck, who said, 'Do you remember what the word was the Lord gave us for Alaska ?' The Lord had shown them that Alaska is the alpha and omega state.  It is the place where things begin and end. 

 You may realize that some of the Alaskan islands are on the other side of the Dateline, meaning that the day begins and ends in Alaska.   The Lord said that Alaska is a gateway for the Ancient of Days to come into the nation. The Lord told Dutch (back in Alaska ) to tell the people of Alaska to look forward into their destiny.   Alaska has an assignment to open doors and a place where prophets and intercessors were trained.  It turns out that the Governor, who was raised in a Pentecostal Church, according to our newspaper, founded the prayer movement in Alaska .   

We will be having the last of our 90 days beginning in a major gathering Sept 11th.  The significance of this is that Chuck Pierce had prophesied that there would be 7 years of war and Sept 11 marks the end of that time and the entering of the 8th year.  Someone said that 44 = 4+4 or 8.   

Dutch asked why he and Chuck were in Texas for this announcement, and the Lord reminded him that the word for Texas was that it is a prophetic state - that the Lord's purpose for Texas is this prophetic function. 

Dutch then decreed that she will enter the White House.  Now, if you don't know him, he is cautious, has his feet on the ground, and never goes off 'half cocked' when it comes to prophecy.  He said that he believes, as of Friday, the U.S. has come into a new level of alignment with the Lord and His purposes. 

By the way, the Governor will be the 44th Vice President.  He continued to declare that she will be the Margaret Thatcher of America, including that she would be President one day.  Many other things came forth.  I literally thought I would explode because the Lord had shown me many of these same things yesterday. 

I believe we especially need to rally prayer for the family and children of the Governor.  They will be targeted by the enemy and I believe we need special prayer for the oldest daughter. Please take this seriously in your prayers.
