Some secular news reporters have been suggesting Governor Palin has been trying to hide her “deep roots in Pentecostalism.” (See related commentary) However, in June she returned to her longtime church, Wasilla Assembly of God, where she attended up until 2002. She spoke at the graduation service of the church’s School of Ministry, and shared Ephesians 1:17 with the audience. (See video of her speech)
“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him," she read. "And that spirit of revelation -- also including that spirit of prophecy -- that God’s going to tell you what is going on and what is going to go on. And you guys are going to have that within you and it’s just going to bubble up and bubble over, and it’s going to pour out throughout the state of Alaska. Again, good, good things in store for the state of Alaska. Let us pray for God’s will to be done here [and] for all of your destinies to be met in this state.”
Palin, who now attends an independent evangelical church, told her former congregation that she was “praying for an outpouring of God’s Spirit, that revival” in Alaska.
