While most Religious Right leaders eventually rallied around Donald Trump’s candidacy, his earliest Amen Corner was heavy with the self-proclaimed apostles and prophets from the dominionist Pentecostal wing of American Christianity who declared Trump anointed by God. As Trump prepares to take office, many of the same people came to Washington, D.C., last week to launch “POTUS Shield,” a movement designed in part to “discern, declare, and decree the strategies of the Lord for our nation, with a special sensitivity to the three branches of the United States government.”

Among the characters involved in POTUS Shield are Cindy Jacobs, Lance Wallnau, Lou Engle, Rick Joyner, Harry Jackson, Jerry Boykin, E.W. Jackson, Jennifer LeClaire, Mark Gonzales and Alveda King. The group met in prayer at the National Press Club and broke into smaller groups to pray at sites such as the Supreme Court. After the inauguration, the group will turn its attention to state capitals and government agencies.

LeClaire, senior editor of Charisma magazine, told the Christian Broadcasting Network that the red electoral map was “parabolic of the blood of Jesus.” She reported that God told her that He was releasing “the angels of transition” to “help transition the government into what we’ve all been praying for.” Trump, she said, “has surrounded himself with Godly counsel,” noting that there are “SO many Christians” among his cabinet and advisers.
