Trump’s Faith Adviser Declares Battle Against ‘Demonic Confederacies’ and Calls for Divine Intervention

In a fiery address that has reignited debates over faith and politics, televangelist Paula White, President Donald Trump’s longtime spiritual adviser, warned of “demonic confederacies” working against him. White, who has been a controversial figure within evangelical circles, declared that spiritual warfare was at play during the 2020 election—an election she continues to assert was undermined by forces beyond the earthly realm.

During a November 2020 livestream, White, 58, passionately prayed against what she described as supernatural opposition to Trump’s presidency. “Angels are being dispatched from Africa right now,” she proclaimed, invoking divine intervention for what she insisted was a heaven-sanctioned victory. Speaking in tongues—a practice known as glossolalia that is central to many Pentecostal and Charismatic Christian traditions—White fervently called for celestial reinforcements. “I hear victory, victory, victory in the quarters of heaven!” she declared.

Yet, despite her prophecies, the election resulted in a loss for Trump. Now, with the former president’s return to the national stage, White’s prominence has only grown. Trump has officially appointed her to lead the White House’s renewed Faith and Opportunity Initiative, a role she previously held during his first term.

White’s appointment comes as Trump reaffirms his commitment to religious values in government. Speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast last Thursday, the 45th president announced plans for a Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty and a dedicated task force to investigate “anti-Christian bias” in the country. “We are going to bring religion back to America,” Trump vowed, receiving a standing ovation from faith leaders in attendance.

White, for her part, has positioned herself as a staunch defender of Trump’s spiritual mission. Addressing supporters before the January 6 Capitol protests, she declared, “Every enemy of God’s will shall be overturned in the name of Jesus!” Her rhetoric has cemented her influence among Trump’s evangelical base, even as it draws criticism from traditional Christian groups who reject her prosperity gospel teachings.

White’s career has been marked by both spiritual devotion and financial scrutiny. Before joining Trump’s inner circle, she co-founded Without Walls International Church in Tampa in the early 1990s, later leading New Destiny Christian Center, a Florida megachurch. However, a 2011 Senate Finance Committee report raised concerns over her financial dealings, revealing that her ministry had amassed $150 million in revenue from 2004 to 2006 alone. The investigation found that tax-exempt church funds were used to finance a lavish lifestyle, including a $900,000 waterfront mansion and substantial salaries for White and her family.

Despite the controversies, White remains steadfast in her mission. “God places His chosen leaders in power, and we must fight the forces that seek to tear them down,” she recently stated in an exclusive interview. Her alignment with Trump has only deepened her influence, reinforcing the former president’s appeal to Christian conservatives.

White’s role in Trump’s political resurgence signals a broader effort to reestablish faith-based governance. As the 2024 election looms, her presence at the White House’s faith office underscores a Republican push to court religious voters and counter what they see as increasing secularism in government.

“This isn’t just politics,” White said. “This is about restoring America’s moral foundation. And I will stand by President Trump every step of the way.”

With Trump leading the charge and White rallying believers, the intersection of faith and politics is more pronounced than ever. The battle, as White describes it, is far from over.
