Call For Prayer Warriors

As reported here earlier, President Jean-Bertrand Aristide made Voodoo one of Haiti's officially recognized religions. This means that Voodoo priests can legally perform religious ceremonies like marriages and baptisms. Unfortunately, not all Christian leaders believe that this sort of spiritual competition is a good thing.

The Nassau Guardian, a Bahamian newspaper, reports:

This bold stand taken by the Haitian President calls for action by the believers in the Body of Christ. It calls for us to fight against what is obviously a plan of the enemy to control the inhabitants of that nation and to take it as its own. We must therefore engage in militant intercession against the principalities of darkness ruling over that country. ... We must pray against the renewal of Haiti's commitment to the practices and beliefs of voodooism as an official religion. We must decree and declare salvation, deliverance, restoration and a new Godly governmental order within the nation. We must pray that Haiti will be a Christian nation.

You see, government support for their religion is OK - but government support for a religion they don't like isn't OK. What this is, then, is essentially a call for a type of theocracy in Haiti - special privileges for Christianity at the expense of all other religious faiths. Yes, there are still Christians around the world who don't care anything for the religious freedom of anyone but themselves.
