An Alabama pastor broke out in tongues during a sermon this week after asking his congregation to pray against ‘witchcraft’ being used to attack Donald Trump.
Pastor John A. Kilpatrick warned congregants on Tuesday that nefarious forces were working to harm the President and undermine the values of the United States.
‘What’s happening right now in America, is witchcraft’s trying to take this country over,’ he said. ‘It’s witchcraft that’s trying to take America back over.’

‘What’s happening right now in America, is witchcraft’s trying to take this country over,’ Kilpatrick said
Known as the ‘Pensacola Outpouring,’ the church attracted more than four million people to the pews between 1995-2000.
In 2003, Kilpatrick left Florida for nearby Alabama and set up his own Pentecostal ministry, according to ai.com.
Pentecostalism is a renewal movement within Protestant Christianity that places special emphasis on a direct personal experience of God through the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
During his sermon, the minister repeatedly quotes 2 Kings 9:22, which attributes witchcraft to the biblical figure Jezebel, and claims the ‘Holy Spirit’ spoke to him personally and warned that Trump’s presidency was at risk.
‘I am not being political, but I don’t see how President Trump bears up under it… He is as strong as I’ve ever seen a man be. But here’s what the Holy Spirit said to me last night and what He said for me to tell you.’
‘He said, ‘Tell the church that so far, Trump has been dealing with Ahab. But Jezebel’s fixing to step out from the shadows.’ That’s what the Lord said to me.’

In the Old testament, Ahab is the King of Israel and Jezebel’s husband who is led away from worshiping a monotheistic god by his wife, instead turning to the deities Baal and Asherah.
‘He said, ‘Pray for him now,’ Kilpatrick continues, ‘because he said there’s about to be a shift, and the Deep State is about to manifest, and it’s going to be a showdown like you can’t believe.’ So, I’m coming to you as a prophet, as a man of God, and I’m telling you, it’s time to pray for the president.’
After asking the congregation to pray for the President, the enthusiastic pastor breaks out in tongues and begins shouting out:’God make him bold, make him strong! Preserve him, Holy Spirit! Keep him, Holy Spirit! Preserve him, Holy Spirit!
‘Don’t let him lose his voice! Make him stronger than ever, Holy Spirit! Let no weapon be formed against him that will knock him out of power. Strengthen him, Lord! It’s time to pray, church. I believe our nation is in the balances,’ Kilpatrick says in between gibberish.
