Holy crap, this scares the bejeezus out of me!

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A grainy YouTube video surfaced Wednesday showing Sarah Palin being blessed in her hometown church three years ago by a Kenyan pastor who prayed for her protection from "witchcraft" as she prepared to seek higher office.

The video shows Palin standing before Bishop Thomas Muthee in the pulpit of the Wasilla Assembly of God church, holding her hands open as he asked Jesus Christ to keep her safe from "every form of witchcraft."

"Come on, talk to God about this woman. We declare, save her from Satan," Muthee said as two attendants placed their hands on Palin's shoulders. "Make her way my God. Bring finances her way even for the campaign in the name of Jesus. ... Use her to turn this nation the other way around."

Palin filed campaign papers a few months later, in October 2005, and was elected governor the next year.

Palin does not say anything on the video and keeps her head bowed throughout the blessing. The Republican vice presidential candidate was baptized at the church but stopped attending regularly in 2002.

A spokesman for the McCain campaign declined to comment. A person who answered the phone at the Wasilla church confirmed the video was from May 2005 but declined further comment.

Palin was baptized Roman Catholic as a newborn.

Pentecostals are conservative in their reading of the Bible. Unlike most other Christians — including most evangelicals — Pentecostals believe in "baptism in the Holy Spirit." That can manifest itself through speaking in tongues, modern-day prophesy and faith healing, which includes the laying on of hands.

Maria Comella, a spokeswoman for the McCain-Palin campaign, has said Palin attends different churches and does not consider herself Pentecostal.

On a visit to the church in June 2008, Palin spoke fondly of the Kenyan pastor and told a group of young missionaries that Muthee's prayers had helped her to become governor.

"Pastor Muthee was here and he was praying over me, and you know how he speaks and he's so bold," she said. "And he was praying 'Lord make a way, Lord make a way' ... He said, 'Lord make a way and let her do this next step.' And that's exactly what happened."

The Rev. Zipporah Ndiritu, who studied under Muthee in the Kiambu, Kenya-based Word of Faith Church, said the bishop is revered among evangelicals there. In a phone interview from Mombasa, Kenya, she said church doctrine focuses on ridding the world of demons — and witches.

"Even in the days of Jesus Christ, according to the Bible there were witches who were manifesting through demonic forces," she said. "You can seek from the Lord, and if you find demonic forces you cast them out."

Ndiritu said she did not know Palin.

At 12, Sarah Palin was re-baptised, together with her whole family, at the Wasilla Assembly of God Church.

Palin attended Wasilla Assembly of God Church for roughly two and a half decades.

We have now got the video of Sarah Palin being anointed in a previously secret ceremony during which her church was actively campaigning for her - an illegal move in its own right. The man doing the anointing was Thomas Muthee - who actually prayed that Sarah Palin be protected from witchcraft, and said that electing Sarah Palin would help keep witchcraft out of schools, and help right wing Christians invade and infiltrate the government. Throughout all this and more, Sarah Palin watched approvingly - and the video shows her accepting the holy protection from Alaska witches without even flinching once.

Background information: Bishop Muthee ran a poor single mother out of town in Kenya. He got the townspeople so crazed up over a apparently "bewitched" woman that they ended up chasing her around town and even broke into her house and took shots at her. She is lucky to have gotten away alive and lucky that her children were not hurt or killed. And he is proud to say he chased the devil away from their town. This is absolute madness!

Therefore, Sarah Palin has been anointed by an outspoken and dangerous witch hunter. Where is the outrage in the MSM about this fact?

More info about the "Wasilla Assembly of God":

During that time Wasilla Assembly of God joined an Insurgent theological movement, initially arising with Pentecostalism, weich denounced in 1949, by tue General Council of tue Assemblies of God, as heretical.

Known as the Third Wave, this movement sees the earth largely under the influence of demon powers.

"Third Wave" believers seek to map out areas of "demonic influence" and drive out demon powers with prayer - from cities, towns and even entire geographic areas.

They also fight what they feel to be rampant human witchcraft.

The Wasilla Assembly of God and its Masters Commission Program enjoy a close relationship with a key Third Wave center, Rick Joyner's Morningstar Ministries.

Wasilla Assembly of God both endorses Rick Joyner's books and and also includes author Joyner's works closely within its Masters Commission curriculum.

Key Morningstar leaders, and other prominent Third Wave figures, frequently visit the Wasilla Assembly of God.
