Introducing Pastor Lorenzo Sewell.
President Trump personally invited Pastor Sewell to pray at his Inauguration and he did NOT disappoint.
To paraphrase my good friend “Pepe Lives Matter”….he brought them ALL to church!

Yes he did!
Delivering a powerful message praying to our “Heavenly Father” in the name of “Jesus”, Sewell expertly mixed in portions of Martin Luther King Jr’s most famous speeches (prayers) honoring the fact that it is Martin Luther King Day today, while delivering a powerful prayer right in the face of many in the crowd who you might deem as being openly hostile to Christianity.
It was a powerful moment.

FULL TEXT OF THE PRAYER:
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell:
Heavenly Father, we’re so grateful that
you gave our 45th and now our 47th president
a millimeter miracle. We are grateful that
you are the one that has called him
for such a time as this, that America
would begin to dream again. We pray that
we would fulfill the true meaning of our creed:
that we hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal. We pray that
you use our president, that we would live
in a nation where we will not be judged
by the color of our skin
but by the content of our character.
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus,
we are so grateful today that you will use
our 47th president so we would sing
with new meaning: “My country, ’tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of
the pilgrims’ pride, from every mountainside,
let freedom ring.” And because America
is called to be a great nation, we believe
that you will make this come true.
So let freedom reign from the precious
hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom
ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening
Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let freedom
ring from the snowcapped Rockies
of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the
curvaceous hilltops of California. But God,
we’re asking you not only that. Let freedom
ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain
of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every
hill and every molehill in Mississippi,
from every state, every city, every village,
and every hamlet. And when we let freedom
ring, we will be able to speed up that day:
all of your children—Black men and White men,
Protestant and Catholic, Jew and Gentile—
will be able to sing in the meaning of
that old Negro spiritual: “Free at last!
Free at last! Thank you, God Almighty,
we are free at last.” If you believe
where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty. Come on, put your hands
together and give your great God great Glory
Thank you Pastor, well done!
