That should be an Onion headline, but it's totally not. This is just…weird. Straight from the heart of fundamentalist media – The Christian Broadcasting Network. You just can't make this stuff up unless you have a creative and sarcastic mind.
"In January of this year, Cindy Jacobs was in a worship service when the Lord spoke to her, “Cindy, the strongman over America doesn’t live in Washington, DC – the strongman lives in New York City! Call My people to pray for the economy.”
“This is so severe in the economic area because we are facing judgment from the actions, not only for our stance towards Israel, but our blatant sin against Him in passing laws such as the one allowing homosexual marriages,” Cindy said.
“We are going to intercede at the site of the statue of the bull on Wall Street to ask God to begin a shift from the bull and bear markets to what we feel will be the 'Lion’s Market,' or God’s control over the economic systems,” she said. “While we do not have the full revelation of all this will entail, we do know that without intercession, economies will crumble.”
CBN is literally practicing the same idolatry of worshiping the Golden Calf as found in Genesis. What a bunch of loonies. Photo and video courtesy of Wonkette, tip o' the hat goes to Beloved Spear. Here's the video of Jacobs on the 700 Club. It's really strange to watch.

If a tip of the hat goes to Beloved Spear, does the Wag O The Finger get directed at CBN?

Guys, you missed the entire point. That giant bull is a “bad thing.” It is a symbol of the current economic structure that she believes God wants to change. It has nothing to do with “everyone getting rich.” They weren’t praying to the bull. It was just a point of contact representing a thing that God wants to change. I mean, don’t you think God wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives, including the financial structure of our nation. Please, before you make yourself look foolish, get the facts.
