God Does Not Back Losers

Twice, tens of millions of Republican evangelicals have anointed a champion in order to defeat Barack Obama, and twice God did not back – LOSERS – or false prophets.

Lou Engel is a false prophet – and a loser – who has stole the fire of the Nazarites and applied it to political LOSERS. God does not back losers! God punishes frauds who employ His Name in a false manner.

Jon the Nazarite

1 Samuel 2:8 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. “For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s; upon them he has set the world.

Lou Engle is an American charismatic Christian leader, best known for his leadership of The Call, an event program that hosts twelve-hour prayer rallies,[1] and his association with prominent members of the Christian Right. Engle is a senior leader of the International House of Prayer and has assisted in the establishment of several smaller “houses” of prayer.

Engle has been organizing large prayer rallies since 1999, with hundreds of thousands of people in multiple countries participating in the events. The size of these events, in addition to Engel’s political statements, has raised his prominence among the Christian Right.[2] Journalist, Bruce Wilson, has referred to Engle as “the unofficial prayer leader of the Republican Party”.[3] In addition to these meetings, Engle has established several small houses of prayer through his Justice House of Prayer ministry. These ministries are often located near prominent landmarks, such as Harvard University or the United States Supreme Court. The locations of the ministries are strategically chosen, such as with the Washington, DC ministry—which is also the first—was placed to specifically contend the issues of abortion and the revival of righteous religious leaders in America.[4]
In 2008, Engle focused the attention of his prayer groups towards supporting California’s Proposition 8 ballot measure.[5] He has also organized 24-hour protests in front of the United States Supreme Court, whereby the young participants symbolized the powerlessness of terminated foetuses.[6]
[edit] Prayer and politics
Engle has focused much of his ministry’s activities towards the issue of abortion. He frequently encourages his audiences to pray that the Roe vs Wade Supreme Court ruling will be overturned and to vote for “pro-life” political candidates. Taking a firm stand on issues traditionally associated with the Christian Right, Engle’s events have drawn support from Evangelical leaders, such as Mike Huckabee and Tony Perkins. He has also been critical of other Evangelical leaders regarding the issue of political correctness.[1]
Engle maintains that issues such as abortion and homosexuality should remain at the center of the evangelical movement.[6] In keeping with his stance on these issues, Engle has been sharply critical of Barack Obama, claiming that Obama’s beliefs “counter my convictions and the convictions of masses of believing Americans.”[7]
[edit] Controversy
Generating much controversy for his ministries, Engle has been described by Joe Conason as a “radical theocrat.[8] The Southern Poverty Law Center has also criticized his rhetoric, saying that he can occasionally “venture into bloodlust.”[9]
While living in Washington, D.C. Engle was briefly a roommate of then-Senator Sam Brownback. Brownback later spoke at The Call Nashville rally and worked with him while drafting Senate apologies to Native Americans and African-Americans. Brownback’s association with Engle became an issue in his successful run for Governor of Kansas. During Brownback’s campaign, the Kansas Democratic Party ran ads criticizing his association with Engle. Brownback stated that he had not spoken to Engle in several months and that they disagree on some issues.[10]
In May 2010, Engle traveled to Uganda and organized a rally there through The Call. During the rally, he praised the Ugandan government’s efforts to combat homosexuality, which included the Ugandan anti-homosexuality bill which called for life imprisonment or the death penalty for gays and lesbians in Uganda.[11] However, Engle later claimed that he opposes the Ugandan bill and called for the church to examine its own sins and to oppose violence against homosexuals.[12]
Engle was featured in the 2006 film Jesus Camp.
[edit] Personal life
Engle currently resides in Kansas City, Missouri. He and his wife Therese have seven children. He is known for his gravelly voice, cheerful demeanor, and rocking back and forth vigorously while praying and speaking.[1][13]
