Last week, right-wing pastors George and Terri Pearsons led their congregation at Eagle Mountain International Church in Fort Worth, Texas, in prayer, calling on God to unleash an “emergency intervention” to stop passage of the Equality Act (H.R. 5) in Congress.

Terri Pearsons, who is the daughter of megachurch pastor Kenneth Copeland, declared that those in Congress who support the Equality Act are “haters of God” and “haters of all that’s good” and are under the control of Satan.

“They lust and thirst after pure anarchy that they might satisfy the desires of their own flesh and their own perversions and their own twistedness,” she preached. “The devil is ram-rodding them, Lord. He’s ram-rodding them and driving them … And so Lord, we lift them all up to you, and we ask you, Lord, for an intervention. We ask you, Lord, for an emergency intervention with this H.R. 5.”

“We pray over our Congress in the name of Jesus,” Pearsons added. “Together we take a stand of faith, and we tell you, devil, you can’t have our government, you can’t have our Congress. You can’t have it. You can’t have it. You can’t have it. You can’t have it. You can’t have it. You can’t have it. You can’t have it now. You can’t have it. You can’t have it. We said, you can’t have it.”

Later in the service, George Pearsons joined his wife on stage to declare that the Equality Act is “the very strategic plan of the Demonic Party” to persecute Christians on behalf of Satan.

“It’s Satan’s last stand to steal a nation,” he said. “He’s the very spirit of perversion, abortion, and everything that is godless and evil and twisted. There’s a godless party pushing its godless agenda. Its platform is being rewritten. Satan is behind it, and he’s driving it.”
