American Christians seem to love America more than Jesus, and sacrifice both to defend their right to be American. It's an idolatry, and idolatry is at the base of all true prophecy. Not only is it an idolatry of America, it is an idolatry of the democratic process, an idolatry of capitalism, an idolatry of individualism, and an idolatry of freedom. It's not about our freedom, our personhood, the way we make money, the way we choose leaders, or where we live. It's about the kingdom of God.

You sound surprised to see unfavorable views to this video. But you shouldn't be. There are more and more believers coming out of this type of faith expression that are casting their eyes back on it with a much more analytical view. It is much easier to be objective and see the forest from the trees. To see what does and does not stand up to biblical scrutiny. As Dan points out, we are to judge prophecy. As for your assessment of what you believe was actually said in the video. While your statements are accurate, generically, they are also not prophetic. These are simple statements taken from some verses in the bible, i.e. prayer and intercession and not looking on outward appearances. These things could have been stated without assuming the posture of speaking for God. But that isn't the problem. There are some facts from the video that you did not include. The use of Ohio and No. 2 in the context of elections and scripture. So no, this lady isn't being generically vague in her prophecy, i.e. encouraging or edifying for prayer/intercession and not judging outward appearances. She is being specific to the current events in her prophetic utterance. To say Sarah Palin will have some impact after the election if she loses isn't prophetic. I listened to a network news anchor make the same comment weeks ago. By Big Macs choosing of her as the V.P. candidate he has elevated her to a national stage. Her name is household common now. Anything she does will be monitored. And certainly if things go well for her in the next four years she has proven she is liked by the GOP for another go. Ohio is not prophetic either. Its a battleground state. Its up for grabs. But there are several other states too that are in the same situation. I have seen these prophecies before, i.e. vague, conditional, yet "inspired." They sound like something, until you start to actually think about what is said. Then they don't make much sense. And more so when nothing comes of them. Folks who have left this strain of faith have been here too many times and have finally caught on that all this is is self-inspired guessing. A desire to be spiritual. There is nothing new about these ecstatic utterances. They have been with us for a long time and have had little to no effect on national issues. But don't worry. If these things are from God than his word will be yea and amen. And let all others, me, be wrong. But if they are not, then what are you defending? Oengus,
