In February of 2014, Dr. James David Manning, pastor of the ATLAH World Missionary Church in New York City, shocked America when he revealed that the President of the United States practices ceremonial magic and has the ability to summon and control demons. In particular, homosexual demons.

Manning said, “Obama has released these demons particularly upon the black males, this homosexual demon, to enforce as many black males to subscribe to ideas of a homosexual, perverted, LGBT as possible.” And once black men have been possessed, “They are being scooped up by white homos, leaving the black woman in more dire straits and with less of a choice of a man to come and be her husband, and father her children.”

Dr. Manning then spelled it out for black women:

“You’ll have a very hard time competing against a white homosexual male. He’s usually got money. The white homo usually has an American Express card. He usually has an opportunity at the theater. Homos love the theater. They love to go out to dinner, parties. They love that kind of thing. And as a black woman, you can’t compete!”

What a segue: from the evocation of demons to show tunes. And demons aren’t just haunting Harlem.  When televangelist Kenneth Copeland asked would-be historian David Barton why politicians change when they move to Washington, he explained:

“There are principalities that sit over certain areas. And I can tell this in the U.S. Capitol. When I walk from the House side to the Senate side, I cross the middle line of the Capitol, I can feel a different principality because they have jurisdictions over different things. And there are principalities that sit over different government entities that cause them to think really goofy and you can’t get prayers through, they get delayed 21 days because the principalities are up there fighting in the Heavenlies.”

Three weeks for a prayer to get through! No wonder they vote wrong all the time.

Pastor John Benefiel, an “Apostle” who leads the Heartland Apostolic Reformation Network supports the claim that demons rule Washington, D.C. Plus, the Statue of Freedom on top of the Capitol and the Washington Monument – “that obelisk, that evil symbol” – are demonic. And the Statue of Liberty?

“You know there’s a statue in New York harbor called the Statue of Liberty. You know where we got it from? French Free Masons. Listen folks that is an idol, a demonic idol, right there in New York harbor.”

Nor is the U.S. alone in the battle. Following the 2011 earthquake in Japan, C. Peter Wagner of Global Spheres, Inc., revealed that the disaster was punishment from God because the Sun Goddess Amaterasu knocked boots with Emperor Akihito in 1990 during his Daijosai ceremony.

“And at a certain time that night the Sun Goddess visits him in person, and has sexual intercourse with the Emperor… So the emperor becomes one flesh with the sun goddess and that’s an invitation for the Sun Goddess to continue to demonize the whole nation.”

Demons everywhere. With American Express cards. You can’t compete.
