Pastor praised by Palin in her speech at Wasilla AoG crusades against "witchcraft" in Africa...
Edited on Mon Sep-08-08 11:56 AM by The Night Owl
In the video of Sarah Palin speaking before the Wasilla Assembly of God, Palin thanks a "Pastor Muthee" for asking God to "make a way" for her to be Governor of Alaska...

3:50 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQq4b5IQhq8

It seems that Pastor Thomas Muthee is a real screwball who sees himself as some sort of crusader against witchcraft. Yes... witchcraft!

A disturbing article about Muthee's activities in Africa...

The power of prayer over witchcraft

The below amazing story of the power of prayer over witchcraft from Kiambu, Kenya, was sent to me by a reader:

REVIVAL FOLLOWS SHOWDOWN WITH WITCHCRAFT

A most dramatic story of the conversion of an extremely wicked city is the story of Kiambu, Kenya in East Africa. This city, about 10 miles from the capital of Nairobi, had very high crime rate, murders, rapes, a high rate of fatal auto accidents, violence, witchcraft, poverty, alcoholism, and many other social ills. Public disorder was the rule and loud rock music blared from loud speakers in front of bar rooms throughout the night. It was also the murder capital of Kenya, with some eight killings a month.


...

The first thing that Muthee found out was that the city was dominated by a woman that everyone called Mama Jane. Mama Jane pretended to be a Christian, and operated an office in the downtown area which she called the Emmanuel Clinic, but her business was pure witchcraft! Right outside of her clinic, there was an intersection that had frequent fatal automobile accidents -- but hardly any of them left any blood stains! No one was able to explain why so many people were killed at that intersection, or why there was hardly ever any spilled blood. Her customers were the leading politicians and businessmen of Kiambu.

Pastor Muthee said, "When we began to recognize who - or what - Mama Jane really was, my wife Margaret and I set ourselves to pray. Our aim was to break the power of witchcraft over the town -- a power that was preventing people from turning to the Lord. It was a struggle that involved much groaning in our spirits. In time, however, we felt the burden lift. The dark cloud we had seen covering the town drifted away, and we felt supernatural joy inside. We knew things were going to change.

...

Pastor Muthee can be seen in the following video: Palin's Demon Haunted Churches - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K_1Eit0pxM

A little bit of background on Christian evangelism in Africa:

Christian evangelicals have been stirring up the fear of witchcraft in many parts of Africa and the results of this activity have, in some cases, been tragic...

3. That crusading against witchcraft results in the locals
murdering a lot of people because of perceived "witchcraft".

8. The rationale for persecuting infidels is built into Christianity.
The only thing which prevents Christianity from being the menace to humanity it was for many centuries is the fact that it lacks the political muscle it had.

13. Agreed...
If there is only "One True God" then why not ban the competition? That is the inherent problem with monotheism.

6. I lived in Africa for two years
and often the locals would come up to me and ask something like, "Do you know the Almighty Prophet John Smith from Tennesee. I attend his church."
These charlatans set up shop all over rural Africa, no, not to help poor people, but to TAKE what little money they do have.
I would just laugh -- and because they also would ask me if I knew Michael Jordan, Jean Claude Van Damme, etc. -- I'd say that not a single person knows these prophets because they are liars and thieves and no one cares about them.
Don't know if it ever made a difference, though.
And just one more thing, in the country where I lived, every single person believed in withcraft, educated or not, rich or poor, it's just the embedded culture, and it didn't matter if they belonged to a Christian church or not.

7. Regardless of how the fear of witchcraft got its start in Africa, Christian evangelicals...
...have been inciting it and exploiting it.

10. Spreading their kind of religion like a plague. Must save the savages from buring in hellfire and
damnation. The hypocrisy of it all just astounds me.

I bet that if Sarah Palin's connection to Thomas Muthee starts to get the media attention it deserves, the Wasilla AoG will scrub its website of references to Muthee.
