PROPHECY AND PRAYER FOR PALIN'S DEBATE PERFORMANCE.

Lou Engle, the anti-abortion crusader and founder of The Call, which brought thousands of "end-times warriors" to the National Mall in August, and which is holding a similar event in San Diego, just sent out an e-mail alert about a prophetic dream a friend had about tonight's debate. Engle, who frequently prophesies about the election and other political matters, is telling followers that this dream represents "an urgent prayer point for America." Quoting his unnamed friend, he writes:

I had a very short dream, yet it is an exhortation to pray for the vice presidential debate this Thursday evening.

In the dream, I was reading Friday's paper (the day after the debate). There were two papers. One said, "Palin hits a home run," while the second said, "Palin strikes out."

As I was looking at those two papers, I found myself back at the debate and saw the darkness and powers surrounding the event. Great darkness had been assigned to the debate, and the church was not seeing it nor taking it soberly.

Then Engle asks, "Would you pray with thousands of others today and during the debate tonight for God's supernatural hand to attend this profound Esther moment?"

Translation: Satanic forces are surrounding the debate, wanting Sarah Palin to fail. If spiritual warriors pray and battle those satanic forces, Palin will be seen, like the Biblical Queen Esther, as God's chosen one for a "time such as this." While Esther saved the Jews, Palin will save fetuses.

For activists like Engle, Palin's ignorance of constitutional law is of no moment. It's all Satan's fault.
