Cindy Jacobs announces 2012 prayer initiative--and declares war on separation of church and state
Late last night, Cindy Jacobs announced the formation of a major prayer drive with the goal of influencing the election. The campaign, called "FastForward," is sponsored by her newly formed United States Reformation Prayer Network. It starts on January 2 and runs through Inauguration Day 2013--52 weeks of prayer and fasting in order to "shift this nation." Jacobs outlines her game plan to her followers here. Jacobs makes no bones about where she wants this shift to go--hard right. If there was any doubt of that, take a look at the prayer guide she's put out for the first 21 days of the year. On January 15, she wants her flock to pray for the end of "separation of church and state." The next day, she wants them to pray for the appointment of Supreme Court justices who won't "legislate from the bench." On January 18, the new focus will be on praying "favor" for "pro-life, pro-biblical defense of marriage, pro-fiscal conservative candidates." Sounds like Jacobs wants to pick up where the Christian Coalition left off. |
Jacobs no doubt knows that she's not exactly a household name, because in a short time she's managed to put together a pretty impressive drive for next year. Besides the national yearlong period of prayer and fasting, she plans to put out state-focused prayer guides targeting specific issues in each state. I have a pretty good idea what one of those issues in North Carolina will be--the gay marriage ban currently on the ballot for our primaries. Additionally, starting January 23 Jacobs wants her followers in an individual state to lead the entire nation in prayer. Jacobs, however, seems to forget who's surrounding whom. Remember, the nation got an introduction to what the NAR wants to do to this country during Rick Perry's moment in the sun. If you'll remember, the general consensus is that the more people knew about this fascist brand of Christianity, the less they liked it. This new effort makes it all the more easier to keep the hot lights on Jacobs and her other "apostolic" compatriots. |
