This past Tuesday marked one of the most difficult days in the presidency of Donald Trump. Paul Manafort was convicted. Michael Cohen pled guilty. Worse still, Cohen claimed that Trump was complicit with him in committing federal crimes.

Cries for impeachment were never louder. The liberal media was positively giddy. The radical leftwing was totally unhinged. This will be the end of Trump’s presidency!

In reality, there’s substantial debate as to whether Trump committed any crimes, even if Cohen was telling the truth. And in the days that followed, some liberal leaders, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, backed away from impeachment calls.

But there’s no doubt that this hellish Monday will haunt the president in the days to come. The question is: Did a prominent evangelical pastor predict this was coming just the day before?

John Kilpatrick came to national prominence as the pastoral leader of the Brownsville Revival (1995-2000), called by some church historians the nation’s largest local-church revival. I served in leadership with Pastor Kilpatrick from 1996-2000 as the head of our ministry school, and I know him to be a man of integrity. So this video clip got my attention when I saw it a few days ago.

He had finished preaching his sermon on Sunday, August 19, at the Church of His Presence in Alabama, when he shared this important message. Was it a direct warning about what broke loose the very next day?

For those unfamiliar with biblical imagery, Ahab and Jezebel were notorious leaders in ancient Israel, Ahab the king and Jezebel the queen. But it was Jezebel who was more sinister, the driving force behind her husband’s sins.

It was Jezebel who killed Israel’s prophets, recognizing them as a direct threat to her authority, since she herself was a non-Israelite idol worshiper. And it is this Jezebel-type influence that John Kilpatrick calls “witchcraft.”

This is the biblical imagery used by Pastor Kilpatrick, who spoke of a new wave of attacks coming against the president as he sought to drain the swamp. Is this a genuine prophetic warning, accompanied by an urgent call to prayer? Watch, and judge for yourself.

Whatever your conclusion and whatever your view of the president, I hope we can agree that, at a time like this, the president and our nation need our prayers.

Watch here.

I think that Pastor Kilpatrick may have actually received a word from the Lord that the Jezebel spirit was "fixing to step out of the shadows", on a new front- Judge Kavanaugh; since the Jezebel spirit had already been confronting/attacking Trump since the beginning of the year.

In short, the answer is "No." Here's the evidence: 1) Jezebel was wicked. Elijah was God's prophet. 2) Jezebel was the one in power. 3) Elijah was attacked for his righteousness & carrying God's message. 4) Trump is NOT God's prophet (he's likely NOT even a child of God), he is the one in power, he is reaping what he sowed, and is NOT being persecuted for his obedience to God. So this pastor is claiming the Holy Spirit told him to give a message based on a Scripture that is NOT even applicable. There's no indirect application Let alone a direct one.s He then goes on to exhort his people there to not stumble over the word "witchcraft". Why? Because he is extrapolating out a misunderstanding and misapplication of a different word used in 1st Sam. 15:23 for "witchcraft" where God says Rebellion is as the sin of Witchcraft. What is happening to this country and what is happening to Trump is not Witchcraft. It is simply the chickens coming home to roost. It is the promise of God coming to pass. One will reap what they sow. Lastly, the pastor violates Scripture in his sermon with his supposed "speaking in tongues." He not only violates it himself but then exhorts and encourages others to do so as well. SO, this 'pastor' is encouraging his sheep to sin!! Several aspects of 1st Cor. 14 are violated but, perhaps, here is the clearest: "If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret." (1st Cor. 14:27) CLEARLY there are more than 2 or 3 speaking at one time, not in turn, and NO one is interpreting. He goes on to say, "The very soul of this country is at stake, Lord." That right THERE is the focus of this message. NOT God. First off, countries don't have a "soul". Secondly, that statement comes outta idolatry. Expose the shadow spirits and government? Really? Are you kidding me? With the evil and utter wickedness that is in your face today like never before this guy really thinks people don't see it? Has he not spent any time on social media? People not only see it, they relish in it!! So, it's obvious this guy is in the Flesh & this message is from the Flesh and not from the Spirit. One other piece of evidence is that I well imagine most folks watching that video and the crowd of people "praying" would say they're nuts. If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds?" (1st Cor. 14:23)
