Lead clergymen representing 109 congregations across the state of Ohio have issued a proclamation to encourage Representative Jordan (R- OH 4th District) as he chairs the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, which is investigating the executive branch's expansive role in conducting surveillance on U.S. citizens, in violation of their civil liberties.
"The idea was to let him know he's not alone and we've got him covered in prayer," says group spokesman JC Church, founder and lead pastor of the non-denominational Victory in Truth Ministries in Bucyrus, Ohio. "We believe we're in a spiritual warfare. We believe we're fighting for our freedoms; we're fighting for this experiment called America. And any of these men who are going to stand in righteousness … with a sense of common sense in this moment in time need to know they're not fighting alone."
He urges Christians to not be intimidated into staying out of politics.
"I don't believe that our jobs or our occupation as pastors is a reason that we can't speak to whatever's going on," Pastor Church reasons. "So, in what we call the Buckeye Bible Belt, we have a significant group of pastors, between 100 and 200, that have organized, and we speak to the issues on a regular basis."
The prayer proclamation notes that "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."
The purpose of the proclamation is to call Ohioans to a season of corporate prayer and to petition God to bless and sustain Rep. 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," Church recently told local news.
