Trump had a 'prophet' secretly anoint every White House door with olive oil to ward off demons



By Bil Browning · Tuesday, December 4, 2018

President Trump allegedly disguised a Christian “prophet” as a janitor and instructed him to anoint every door with olive oil in a bid to ward off demons according to an explosive new report.

“Apostle of Joy” Georgian Banov told the story at an evangelical gathering shortly before the midterm elections. Banov, who grew up in Eastern Europe, claimed that his friend and fellow “prophetic” leader Bill Johnson performed the ritual.

Johnson runs the Bethel School for Supernatural Ministry. Banov and his wife run the East Coast version of Johnson’s “ministry.”

“One of my friends, Bill Johnson’s friend, is one of the prophets near to the White House, and Bill said that recently Trump asked him, ‘hey, you got some of that oil stuff…?’ ‘What oil?’ ‘You know, the stuff that you guys put on things.’,” Banov told the audience.

Was carried in the news at the time.


https://www.nytimes.com/2001/01/07/us/religious-right-made-big-push-to-put-ashcroft-in-justice-dept.html

The son of an Assemblies of God minister and educator, Mr. Ashcroft has woven his private faith into his public life. In his 1998 book ''Lessons from a Father to His Son,'' he wrote that he held voluntary daily prayers with his staff and anointed himself before each of his two terms as Missouri's governor. He did so again, using a bowl of Crisco oil, before being sworn in in 1995 as senator.

The act of anointment, he wrote in his largely autobiographical book, replicated the practice of ''the ancient kings of Israel, David and Saul,'' who Mr. Ashcroft said ''were anointed as they undertook their administrative duties.''

Somethings are just too strange. He should have used extra virgin olive oil, because that is most likely what the ancient Jewish kings used.

But Normal Bates may have used crisco in his hair, so maybe Ashcroft was trying to warn us.

Would olive oil infused with garlic work? Of course that would cause Trump to catch on fire.

If the combo causes T-rump to catch fire, great!

I am more familiar with Native Americans using sage to cleanse. Incense has long been used for cleanings purposes; the Catholic Church has been doing it for centuries.

.........................“One of my friends, Bill Johnson’s friend, is one of the prophets near to the White House, and Bill said that recently Trump asked him, ‘hey, you got some of that oil stuff…?’ ‘What oil?’ ‘You know, the stuff that you guys put on things.’,” Banov told the audience.

“And he goes, ‘no, I haven’t got it.’ ‘All right, will olive oil do OK for you?’ And gets from the kitchen some olive oil. ‘Whatever you gotta do, but go now and anoint every door in the White House. Anoint every door.’,” he said.

“And he says, they dressed him like a janitor so people don’t freak out—the staff. Not all the staff knows about all that stuff, you know?”

Earlier this year, a different pastor claimed Melania refused to move into the White House until it was exorcised to remove the “demonic taint” of the Obama administration.


Trump has met with evangelical leaders and submitted to the anointing and “laying on of hands” ritual in photos widely circulated by the religious right.

In most Aramaic/Christian traditions, it's supposed to be a consecrated oil that includes agrimony and frankincense, amongst other things. The base doesn't matter, olive or castor or even fish oil or ghee. It's the infusion that makes it consecrated.
Just plain olive oil does nothin'.

I regularly cook with extra virgin olive oil and I am sure that I got it on all my doors during the process.

You have no idea of how relieved I am. I have olive oil on all my doors and I can still enter my home, plus as a bonus, I can see myself in a mirror.

So, guess I am not a demon or a vampire. But full moons do get me excited.
