Ted Cruz, pastors, and members of Congress join in prayer to rebuke Satan

Texas Senator Ted Cruz joined pastors and several members of Congress on Capitol Hill in a prayer meeting on Nov. 30 to drive out Satan's power in the Capitol.

The prayer meeting was organized by Wallbuilders and Jefferson Gathering, according to a report from Right Wing Watch.

Wallbuilders is a conservative organization headed by evangelical author David Barton. According to its website, the organization is dedicated to presenting American history with an emphasis on the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which the nation was built.

The Jefferson Gathering is a prayer organization initiated by preacher Jim Garlow and overseen by Pastor Dan Cumming. The group is responsible for the event known as "Washington: A Man of Prayer" which is held at the Capitol's Statuary Hall.

Photos from the event were posted on Garlow's Facebook page. Other politicians who attended the event include Rep. Trent Franks, Sen. Church Grassley, and Rep. Barry Loudermilk.

Dave Kistler of the North Carolina Pastors Network and Dale Walker of the Tennessee Pastors Network were also present at the prayer meeting.

They discussed their experiences of the event on the American Pastors Network's "Stand in the Gap" radio program, in which Kistler revealed that U.S. Senate Chaplain Barry Black prophesied that there would be a revival in America and "it will commence ... in the halls of Congress."

Walker agreed with the chaplain and said, "If God rules in the halls of legislation, it's the pulpit's benefit of being there, being on site and standing up and speaking the law of God to our elected leaders and praying for them."

"It's been the absence of the pulpits is the reason why Satan has ruled in the halls of legislation," he added.

Kistler also disclosed that Rep. Louie Gohmert gave the pastors access to the U.S. Senate chamber where they got on their knees and prayed.

"[I]t sounded almost like a labor room as people were crying out to God for the revival that Chaplain Black believes is coming and that we believe is coming," he said.
