Mary Glazier:

There is an often-repeated
maxim that “you are what you eat.” This is true physically and it is also just as
true spiritually. What you consume as spiritual food determines who you are
spiritually. I used to always be interested in seeing a pastor’s theological
library. A quick scan and I knew his theology and what he feed his people.
Although Palin herself has been very tight-lipped about here theological
beliefs, she has left a trail of “bread-crumbs” over two decades indicating
what kind of spiritual food she consumes. During the presidential campaign all
the media seemed to care about was that she was a Pentecostal. But just a very
little digging on the net it was clear then as now that she is much more than a
Pentecostal. I remember suggesting this to someone during the presidential
election. But this was too much to swallow at the time. Indeed Sarah Palin has
been linked closely to the NAR Apostolic/Prophetic Dominion Movement. Although
she has tried to cover these tracks, there is ample evidence that she has been
and is currently still in contact with the movement but very discretely. Since entering national politics she has
glossed over her NAR history for obvious reasons. “Since the 2008 presidential
election mounting evidence suggest a dramatic widespread failure of the media
to investigate and inform the American public about Sarah Palin’s extensive ties
to a radical, growing global movement whose leaders proclaim that an end-time
army of young Christians led by Apostles and Prophets will cleanse the earth of
evil and impose a Christian theocratic government. [Bruce Wilson, Talk to
Action, Palin’s Ties to Militant Religious Movement Confirmed] This is now historically ironic in comparison to the wide reporting of Obama’s many decades of
relationship with his pastor and mentor
Jeremiah Wright. But it is now time that the Christian world be informed of
Palin’s core apostolic/ prophetic spiritual orientation.
Wasilla AOG church and Pastor Ed Kalnins
Sarah was born Catholic but
joined the Wasilla AOG along with her parents when she was 10 years old. But this AOG church is not just your
traditional Pentecostal church. It became totally associated with the NAR under
the ministry of Ed Kalnins. Wasilla AOG has become a major center of NAR
teaching and ministry. Kalnin's sermons espouse theological concepts such as
the possession of geographical areas by demonic spirits, and enter-generational
transmission of family curses. [The People's Voice, Eillen Fleming,
WEAREWIDEAWAKE.org] Thomas Muthee, an Apostle from Kenya visited Wasilla AOG in
2005 and there is a video online of Muthee laying apostolic hands upon
Palin. On that same occasion Muthee
explained in detail the Dominion Mandate that refers to the 7 mountains of
culture that need to be conquered. Muthee became famous for driving out a witch
in his African hometown of Kiambu Kenya. “After 6 months of spiritual mapping
Muthee came to believe that a woman known as Mama Jane was a witch and caused
traffic accidents. At least one person a month would die in an accident in
front of the ’divination house’. According to Muthee’s account angry townsfolk
wanted to stone Mama Jane for the traffic accidents. When the police entered
her house they shot her pet python. She was according to Muthee questioned by
the police after which she left town. This event was depicted in two videos by
George Otis Jr., which Muthee claimed that the crime and traffic rate in Kambu
dropped drastically after Mama Jane left.
But the workgroup “Back to the Bible” headed by pastor Rien van de
Kraats of Kamperland Netherlands found no police report or any sources that
backed Muthee’s claims. Investigators have asserted the Mama Jane is really
Jane Njenga a local pastor who never left Kiambu [Wikipedia , Wasilla AOG].
Pastor Ed Kalnins employs all
the normal prophetic practices and is on the apostolic/prophetic circuit
internationally. Dutch Sheets, the top official of NAR, in the USA has visited
the church on many occasions. “Dutch Sheets was traveling (with Chuck Pierce)
to Texas on Friday and when he landed in the airport his wife called and told
him to get to the TV asap. He watched as McCain introduced Gov. Palin and said
he began to weep, even though he knew nothing of her. He asked (Pierce?) what is the significance of this
44-year-old woman as and he saw the clock said 4:44. He asked the Lord what
that was, and the Lord said, EZ 44:4 ‘He brought me by way of the north gate
(Alaska) to the front of the temple; so I looked, and behold, the glory of the
Lord filled the house of the Lord; and I fell on my face’. We will be having
the last of our 90 days beginning in a major gathering September 11. The
significance of this is that Chuck Pierce had prophesied that there would be 7
years of war and Sept. 11 marks the end of that time and entering the 8th
year. 44=4+4 or 8. Dutch asked why he and Chuck were in Texas for this
announcement and the Lord reminded him that the word for Texas was that it was
a prophetic state. Dutch then decreed that she (Palin) will enter the White
House. Now if you don’t know him (Sheets) he is cautious… and never goes
off half-cocked when it comes to prophecy. [Dutch Sheets on religion, politics
and Sarah Palin, Endtimes Prophetic,WordPress.com]
Lance Wallnau, the apostolic
teacher of the 7 mountains of culture has taught there recently. Wallnau is
considered in the movement the foremost authority on this 7 mountains mandate
and speaks on this topic almost exclusively.
Wasilla AOG has a program for
recent high school graduates called the “ Masters Commission’, which is closely
linked with Rick Joyner at Morningstar Ministries. This training program
replaces the first 3 years of college. Ed Kalnins, himself, was a graduate of
this program earlier. The tuition is
$7900 per a year and the students are trained in prophetic gifts (learning to
prophesy). Books by Steve Thompson head of prophetic ministry at Rick Joyner’s
Morningstar in Fort Mill S.C are on the official reading list. Other books in
the training program are by John Bevere who trained under Benny Hinn. June 8,
2008, then Gov. Palin returned and spoke at the graduation ceremony of the
Masters Commission at Wasilla AOG. In her speech she called for Ephesians 1:17,
that the spirit of revelation including a spirit of prophecy that God is going
to tell you what is going on and what in going to go on and you guys are going
to have that within you and its going to bubble up and bubble over and its
going to pour out throughout Alaska. There have been so many words (prophecies
by Mary Glazier?) [such as] we being the head and not the tail. (Bob Fertiks
Blog). Each graduate was given a
samurai sword and encouraged to prepare for warfare. In the ceremony a church
member intoned: "A warriors of old were considered undressed if they were
without their sword... The church
member officiating the sword ceremony then quoted Psalm 149: 6-9 "Let the
high praises of God be in their throats and two edged swords in their hands to
execute vengeance in the nations and punishments on the peoples, to bind their
kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron, to execute on them the
judgment written." In 2002 Palin
moved to the governors mansion in Jeneau. There she attended another AOG
church, which is also more than a traditional AOG church. She attended Mike
Rose’s Juneau Christian Center. This church has a special relationship with
Rodney Howard Brown the infamous “Holy Spirit Bartender, who dispenses “Holy
Ghost Laughter.” Mike Rose the pastor has had RHB visit for ministry and also
serves on RHB’s Revival Ministries Committee. Rose also has had a long time
relationship with John Hagee and his attempt to jump start the rapture.
Mary Glazier, Palin’s
longtime mentor and spiritual dietician
Mary Glazier was born in1944
in Ketchikan AL the oldest of eleven. She is a Haida Indian. She established
her own ministry called Windwalkers Int’l. She is one of the prophets of
Wagner’s inner circle of leadership, the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders
ACPE. On October 8, 2008 Glazier told
the attendees at the “Opening of the Gate of Heaven and Earth Conference with
many of the top leaders of the NAR in attendance, that she had been present at
the inception of Sarah Palin’s political career and that Palin was in her
personal prayer group. (End Times
Prophetic, Prophecy, Visions).
Jan AageTorp of Oslo is an
apostle in Wagner's International Coalition of Apostles. At the time of Palin’s
surprised nomination he was visiting with Peter Wagner and his wife Doris. He
pointed out an interesting thing… that Sarah Palin is a member of the prayer
network under Wagner and his Alaskan leader Mary Glazier. [End Times Prophetic,
Word Press.com]
In November 17, 09 Glazier appeared to envision (prophesy)
McCain winning the 08 election, but then being killed and soon thereafter
tragically killed in a terrorist attack that would leave Palin to succeed
McCain. [Huffington Post.com, Palin’s Hints….]
This prophetic wishful thinking turned out to be just wishful thinking.
On June 13, 08 at a
conference held at Everett WA outside Seattle, Glazier describes a program of
Christian religious cleansing, and the removal of unbelievers from the land.
“There is a tipping point, at which, at which time, because of sin of the land
the people of the land then have to be displaced…. God is preparing a people to
displace the ones whose sin is rising so that they tip over and the church goes
in …” [FaithtoAction, Bruce Wilson, “Palins Ties to Militant Religious Movement
Confirmed” ]
Some of Palin’s supporters
have suggested that Palin no longer is in contact with Glazier. But in the
January 2009 edition of Charisma Magazine in an article entitled The Faith
of Sarah Palin, authored by Lee Grady, a Wagner apostle, interesting
details of Palin’s personal continuing friendship with Alaskan Apostle and
national leader Mary Glazier were revealed.
In the same article it stated that “last spring Palin called Mary
Glazier and asked her to pray with her over the phone, and they met [later] at
the Governors Prayer Breakfast.
It seems beyond any doubt
that Palin and Glazier are still in close contact. Palin obviously is still an
active part of Glazier’s prayer network. It also seems beyond reasonable doubt
that Palin is still consuming the teachings of the Apostolic/Prophetic
Movement. Palin, of course, represents a quantum leap potential advance for the
Dominion aspirations of the NAR. She stands in a most strategic place. She
stands solidly in the Apostolic Dominion Mandate of Wagner and his Apostles and
Prophets. She is the darling of the Tea Party Movement, being the star speaker
at their national conference. And finally she stands in the center of the
Republican Party apparatus and seems destined to run for the office of
president. But Palin has escaped
national and political scrutiny. For a
still unknown reason the media gave Palin a pass.
It seems already too late for
the church and the nation to know who she is spiritually. Emotional and
political emotions are deeply established. We learned more than we wanted to
know about Obama. But now it’s time
for all to know Sarah’s relationship with the NAR and especially her long
mentorship under Apostle and Prophet Mary Glazier. It would be fitting that
Palin disclose clearly here Glazier relationship and publicly reject the
Apostolic/Prophetic dream for an American theocracy.
