Televangelist Jim Bakker is known for his controversial statements, and this is no exception.<\/p>\n

Bakker told viewers of his show last month that there would be a revolution if Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected. Now, Bakker is saying that Democrats who cast their vote for Joe Biden are voting because of their faith: Satanism.<\/p>\n

“\u2026 A lot of people that are voting this week\u2026 the next few weeks\u2026 they’re voting for their faith, and their faith is Satan worship\u2026,” Bakker said on ‘The Jim Bakker Show.’ “So if they vote their faith, we need a lot of Christians to vote more so.”<\/p>\n

This is not the first time he has made strong statements about the president and the election. Bakker is also recognized for his End-Times theories. He said on a television broadcast that God told him that President Trump was elected to give Christians enough time to prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus.<\/p>\n

“Have you ever seen a time when we hate our president like the people do now?” Bakker said. “Literally half the nation hates the president and would probably kill him if they got a chance.”<\/p>\n

He also said that God told him that we are in Revelation Chapter 6, which talks of the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse. He suggested that the first horse of the Apocalypse had been released on the earth.<\/p>\n

“God has given us a man who is not afraid to fight. We have a president people think is crazy. They call him crazy, but he’s making peace treaties, he’s doing all the things to try to solve the world’s problems, and God has put him on earth,” Bakker said. “God spoke to me the other night. He said, ‘I put Donald Trump on earth to give you time, the church, to get ready.'”<\/p>\n

He also made headlines over a controversial claim that the president’s support was a “test [for] whether you’re even saved.”<\/p>\n

“Only saved people can love Trump,” Bakker said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
