MANSFIELD — It’s not often clergy are excited about church committees, but this might be different. In 1975, a U.S. Senate select committee known as the “Church Committee” obtained the most comprehensive public disclosure of federal intelligence corruption in American history. One group of faith leaders is hopeful a new ‘Church Committee’ of the same magnitude can be resurrected, bringing accountability and transparency to federal intelligence agencies that have gone rogue.
Congress has gone home for summer recess, and Ohio clergy took time to meet with the Chairperson of the “Weaponization of Government” House Select Committee. The faith leaders are advising him that as he wrestles with spiritual powers on Capital Hill, he should ‘leave it all on the mat, to never back down, and to never lose the faith.’
“As leading clergymen from one hundred-nine diverse multi-denominational congregations across the Buckeye Bible Belt, we are calling Ohioans to publicly repent for the sins of our nation,” says Pastor John Bouquet, one of the faith leaders calling for prayer for Congressman Jim Jordan. “We believe ALMIGHTY GOD has selected Jim Jordan as His instrument of justice and righteousness (Amos 5:24) to confront the hidden works of evil.”
The clergymen gave a corporate call to prayer Wednesday at the Congressman’s District Office asserting that federal agencies have been weaponized to go against the very people they are supposed to represent.
“The Department of Justice has smeared parents as domestic terrorists, criminalized their speech, and unlawfully marshaled federal law enforcement resources to silence parents and other private citizens,” says Pastor John Bouquet. “We are seeing a weaponized federal government targeting anyone who expresses their disapproval of public school policies and curricula ranging from oppressive COVID-19 mask rules and divisive Critical Race Theory, to radical gender ideology.”
“There is a Uni-party inside Washington D.C. hellbent in demonizing Christians and patriots who believe in the founding Biblical principles of our country. Our prayer is Jim Jordan changes Washington D.C. and Washington D.C. does not change Jim Jordan.”
Pastor J.C. Church
In the prayer proclamation, the clergy wrote, “Since the fraudulent leaking of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling which overturned the right to the abortion of unborn babies on May 2, 2022, (Dobbs v. Jackson), there have been militant groups publicly advocating violence towards Supreme Court Justices, pregnancy centers, and churches, resulting in at least 125 cases of pro-abortion terrorism on churches and pregnancy resource centers in twenty-six states as of January 2, 2023. The Department of Justice has produced a meager four indictments from these incidents.”
Reverend El Akuchie, another clergy co-signer of the proclamation comments, “It is evident the Biden Administration has a vengeance for those who defend the ways of GOD. This is a spiritual war and their enemy is really GOD. The irony is, GOD is using a wrestling champion to embody the spiritual struggle within our nation.”
“The Bible says, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places,”
Pastor J.C. Church says the purpose of the proclamation is to “Call Ohioans to a season of corporate prayer, and to petition the HEAVENLY FATHER to bless and sustain Congressman Jim Jordan. As our nation is on the brink of federal government tyranny, we agree to pray for him and his committee that they would have supernatural strength and fortitude to expose the two-tiered system of justice and to bring accountability and transparency to agencies that have been weaponized against the very people they are supposed to protect.”
Pastor Church adds, “A distinction should be made that the Congressman was a champion in collegiate wrestling and not professional wrestling where the fighting is fake. As the mainstream media reports on the supposed battle between the two political parties, there is a Uni-party inside Washington D.C. hellbent in demonizing Christians and patriots who believe in the founding Biblical principles of our country. Our prayer is Jim Jordan changes Washington D.C. and Washington D.C. does not change Jim Jordan.”
The listed clergy co-signers are from 14 counties throughout Ohio. Counties with the most congregations represented include: Richland (68), Crawford (10), Ashland (7), Trumbull (5), Wayne (5), Morrow (4), Knox (3), Huron (1), Lorain (1), Lucas (1), Marion (1), Portage (1), Stark (1), & Warren (1).
The Bottom Line:
The Bible says in Genesis 6:12, “GOD looked on the Earth, and behold, it was corrupt for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the Earth.“
