“We decree that we take back and permanently control positions of influence and leadership”
This Christian nationalist ceremony would be even creepier backed by ominous music and Gregorian chanting. But it’s plenty creepy on its own.
Find a pdf of the Watchman Decree here. It begins:
WHEREAS
• we, the Church, are God’s governing Body on the earth
• we have been given legal power from heaven and now exercise our authority
• we are God’s ambassadors and spokespeople over the earth
• through the power of God, we are the world influencers
• because of our covenant with God, we are equipped and delegated by Him to destroy every attempted advance of the enemy,
There is much more, of course. Four minutes’ worth of decreeing and declaring, including a reference to Seven Mountains Dominionism. We’ve been following this movement here for over a decade.
I cannot find attendance numbers for FlashPoint LIVE in the Atlanta area this month, but this is not an insignificant movement. They fill stadiums.
And they fill elected offices. Here in North Carolina, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson recites from the Christian nationalist gospel. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is fluent in it. E.C. Sykes was Executive Director of Faith and Religious Liberty for Ted Cruz for President and member of the Council for National Policy, “a little-known club of a few hundred of the most powerful conservatives in the country” and listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. He returned to North Carolina after 20 years and ran unsuccessfully in 2020 for secretary of state against incumbent Democrat Elaine Marshall. He is running for state senate in 2022.
Watch your backs where you are. This theocratic movement is hiding in plain sight.
