And Sheets also joined Gingrich’s Faith Leaders Coalition.
Here is the press release:
Pastor Dutch Sheets Endorses Newt Gingrich
Atlanta, GA– Dutch Sheets has endorsed Newt Gingrich for president, and will be joining the Gingrich Faith Leaders Coalition.
Dutch Sheets is the author of 18 books, including the best seller Intercessory Prayer. Throughout his 34 years of ministry he has pastored, taught in several colleges and seminaries, served on the board of directors of numerous organizations and has become recognized as an international leader on the subject of prayer.
In a statement, Pastor Sheets explained that his endorsement is for the “most important election of our lifetimes”
“Newt Gingrich is only one that I can confidently say has the heart, experience, backbone, Constitutional brilliance, and intellectual strength to defeat Obama and lead America back to greatness” said Sheets.
“The America we know and love—indeed, the America God and our founding fathers dreamed of and birthed—cannot survive another 4 years of the current leadership in Washington.”
Sheets will join the coalition led by Christian market researcher, George Barna. It also includes, Pastor Tim LaHaye, Beverly LaHaye, Dr. Jim Garlow, the California pastor behind the Proposition 8 Battle, Congressman J.C. Watts, Don Wildmon of the American Family Association, Dr.Michael Youssef, Pastor Richard Lee, and Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel.
The coalition is currently setting up a leadership committee in Florida, and will be setting up leadership in other states in the coming weeks.
Sheets is securely within the New Apostolic Reformation and believes that we are supposed to try to infiltrate the government and raise up Kingdom warriors to “do whatever it takes to bring about Kingdom rule.” Right Wing Watch has some of Sheet’s teaching from a recent political event called “A Gathering of Eagles.”
Sheets prophesied about an event that was supposed to take place near Branson, MO called the Wilderness Outcry. He said God told him the event might start another great awakening. Eventually, the event was cancelled due to lack of funding.
I continue to be amazed that evangelicals are joining with Gingrich given that the campaign thus far has been dependent on gambling profits via the donations of Sheldon Adelson. Sheets has had some harsh words for gambling in the past, writing in his book Releasing the Prophetic Destiny of a Nation:
The curse of Horace is linked with Freemasonry. We asked the Lord to blind the evil eye linked with this curse and the corruption of gambling so that it would not overtake Louisiana completely. (p. 239)
The corruption of gambling is paying for the campaign of the man Sheets is now endorsing.
What they’re saying is, “We want to be free to do exactly as we please and furthermore, we want to be free to stop anyone else from doing what doesn’t please us.” This is justified by saying that “At the risk of sounding melodramatic, the United States as we know her will [if Obama wins in 2012] cease to exist as will, then, Western Civilization. Those who are discerning, those who are intuitive to what is happening morally and economically in our nation understand the truth.” quote from Jim Garlow, one of Gingrich’s Faith Coalition members.

For me this is the final evidence that american evangelicals never gave a d___ about ‘family values’ etc. That’s only a cloak that covers the real reason – they lust for pure – brute power. That’s really all they want – the power to get revenge on those ‘persecuting’ them since the 60’s – the power to tell everyone else what to do – the power to set up their militant american jesus (anti-christ) and kill everyone who doesn’t bow down – a calvinistic power with an attitude of, “I’m the elect therefore I’m god” that’s what they want – especially the Doug Sheets types. God have mercy on us if they ever get that power….

“Sheets prophesied about an event that was supposed to take place near Branson, MO called the Wilderness Outcry. He said God told him the event might start another great awakening. Eventually, the event was cancelled due to lack of funding.”
Deuteronomy 18:22 “If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.” So it looks like we should pay no attention to Sheets, whatever he says, since he obviously is no prophet. And, since when does the Lord say, “the event MIGHT start…” Sheets is, as my dad used to say, “three sheets to the wind.”

Lynn David and MJ, boy you both hit the nail on the head with your comments.
Not much surprises me any more concerning the condemnation of sexual minorities by our government leaders, bot real and wannabe. Sadly Lynn I am almost immuned to shock now. I just shrugged my shoulders at Newts “pagan” comment, it was just another animus arrow headed for it’s target audience.

I don’t know why you’d be surprised that evangelical leaders like Sheets want to endorse someone affiliated with gambling…its all about the power. They could care less about the morality of it. They just want to pick the right side so they can have power when “their man” is in the White House.
Gingrich just gave a perfect reason why marriage for gays and lesbians should be allowed. Se:

He associated marriage for gays and lesbians with another religious tradition, paganism. So if pagans allow such marriages, how is it that by the first amendment the government cannot but acknowledge marriages of gays and lesbians? To do so would only mean and makes Gingrich’s campaign out to be one of the most theocratic ever.

Warren,

Matthew 4 : 8, 9
God’s ways can never be reached using the Devil’s means. ‘Doing whatever it takes’ more than implies employing such means … at least to my mind.
I think that Sheets should read his Bible a little more carefully. He might also take a closer look at Gingrich’s record.
