Palin Sought 'Witchcraft' Protection Before Running for Governor

The video shows Mrs Palin standing before Bishop Thomas Muthee in the pulpit of the Wasilla Assembly of God church in 2005. She is holding her hands open while the bishop asks Jesus Christ to keep her safe from "every form of witchcraft."

"Come on, talk to God about this woman. We declare, save her from Satan," Bishop Muthee said as two attendants placed their hands on Palin's shoulders. "Make her way my God. Bring finances her way even for the campaign in the name of Jesus Use her to turn this nation the other way around."

A few months after the prayer, she filed campaign papers and was elected Governor in October 2005.

Sarah Palin had kind words to share about Bishop Muthee.

On a visit to the church in June 2008, Palin spoke fondly of the Kenyan pastor and told a group of young missionaries that Muthee's prayers had helped her to become governor.

"Pastor Muthee was here and he was praying over me, and you know how he speaks and he's so bold," she said, according to Associated Press.

"And he was praying 'Lord make a way, Lord make a way' ... He said, 'Lord make a way and let her do this next step.' And that's exactly what happened."
