Looks like President Trump will be attending church tomorrow morning at the International Church of Las Vegas (he also visited the church in Oct. 2016) before flying to a fundraiser in Newport Beach and then back to Nevada for a rally in Carson City in the evening.
For those who don't remember, pastors of this church prophesied over Trump at that Oct. 2016 service.
Some convo going on in the comments of this ICLV live stream that Google Translate tells me is Bengali...?
Pastor Marc Goulet, before he gets into his message, thanks President Trump for 10 things he has done. They include the Johnson amendment, giving "a voice to the unborn," moving the embassy to Jerusalem and choosing judges that "stand for conservative and Judeo-Christian values."
Pastor Marc Goulet says he's not being political.
"You see, people say you're being political. I'm not. The Bible says give honor to whom honor is due. I'm honoring our president right now because he's done the right thing," he says.
Pastor Marc Goulet, I believe, just quoted Taylor Swift when lauding the president.
"I see our president making declarations every week and he's making these bold, positive declarations, but then you got the haters gonna hate hate hate," he said.
Pastor Marc Goulet is now recounting being present on the South Lawn of the White House when the president accepted the Republican presidential nomination and walking out to see a "riot."
"They looked at me this little white guy ... 'We're going to eff you up,'" he said.
Goulet is using this whole message to essentially make a case for re-electing Trump. He says that Trump is trying to bring "a little bit more heaven down on Earth," a la, "Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
Goulet says he is not here to talk about President Trump, though he is spending a lot of this sermon talking about Trump.
"I'm not here to talk about this man, but he happens to be here and I want to honor him and affirm him, because when I appeal to the King, I appeal for him."
Goulet is now holding up a flag he says he saw "hanging out on the fence of the White House."
"My message today is the Bible says that he'll do exceedingly, abundantly, more than you can ever ask or think. So, Mr. President, I came to encourage you today," Goulet says.
Goulet asks, "You know how many angels are surrounding this place right now? ... Heaven has sent His angels to protect you. Heaven has sent an army of angels."
Goulet, speaking directly to Trump, says, "It may be a mess right now, sir. But God chose a fighter to straighten this out." He's now asking the congregation to stretch out their arms to bless the president.
Goulet now references the Statute of Liberty, except he says as he's praying, he sees President Trump with the torch: "Sir, I'm telling you right now, I see you with the torch right now. I see lighting a bright light for God and for all those who believe in a good America."
Goulet just walked off stage to give the president a copy of his book and a fist bump.
President Trump has now taken the mic: "I go to many churches and I love going to churches ... We are with you 100 percent. We are telling you you better get out because we have a group on the other side who doesn't agree with us ... Get out there on Nov. 3 or sooner."
Trump also just made a pitch for Dan Rodimer in #NV03. "And Dan, you know who that is right? Big Dan."
Not sure if Trump was referring to the economic situation in Las Vegas or the limits on church capacity here:
"I know you've had a rough time in terms of this city. This has bene a tough place, but the job you've done to get people back is really very special," Trump said.
With that, the sermon is a wrap!

International Church of Las Vegas pastors are again prophesying over President Trump at this church service this morning in Las Vegas. Pastor Denise Goulet says, "At 4:30, the Lord said to me, I am going to give your president a second win."
ICLV pastors, continuing to prophesy over Trump, tell him that "everyone that's connected to you is going to go into a winning era." They're now praying for him.
ICLV pastors did the same thing in October 2016. It's one of their most popular videos on YouTube:
🧪 Cumulative test positivity is at 11.86%; seven-day avg daily test positivity is 20.46%, still generally high.
🏥 COVID-19 hospitalizations are at 469, -17 from the previous day, still below 500.
Some notes on counties at-risk of elevated spread of COVID-19. As of today, Clark, Lincoln and Lyon counties are on the list. Washoe has dropped off with its test positivity rate dipping to 8.0%. (Remember — Monday is the official day for measuring this for mitigation purposes.)
🧪 Cumulative test positivity is at 11.73%; seven-day avg daily test positivity is 17.18%, still generally high.
🏥 COVID-19 hospitalizations are at 486, -33 from the previous day, dropping below 500 again.
Cases remain generally high statewide. The average number of new cases reported each day over the last seven days was 578 yesterday — about where we were on Aug. 24 (580).
For reference, Nevada's most recent low (317 average new cases reported each day) was on Sept. 21 — exactly two weeks out from Labor Day. Bars reopened in Washoe on Sept. 16 and Clark on Sept. 20.
Gov. Steve Sisolak, on CNN right now, says he's been on weekly calls with the White House COVID task force "literally begging" for PPE and test kits. He says an organized national response "would've saved thousands and thousands of lives."
Sisolak said Trump cared about himself being protected last night but not about the several thousand people who showed up to his rally: "He knows what the rules are ... He chose to show callous disregard in a reckless, selfish, irresponsible way."
Sisolak says it is "absurd" that President Trump didn't think the 50-person limit on gatherings applied to him: "I think he just doesn't much care."
Caleb Cage, Nevada's COVID-19 response director, said he has seen reports on social media that someone who was COVID positive attended one of the Trump rallies this weekend, but says that it has not been confirmed: "This is why we have directives in place."
Julia Peek, deputy administrator for the Division of Public and Behavioral Health, notes that anyone who attends an event with a large number of people without masks — even a backyard barbecue — was likely exposed to COVID-19. She recommends testing 5-7 days after exposure.
Cage says the state is expecting to see an increase in cases "over the next few weeks." He said the number of people on the streets over the Labor Day weekend was "concerning." He also mentioned this weekends rallies which were held "in defiance" of statewide directives.
President Donald Trump is kicking things off here at his indoor rally at Xtreme Manufacturing in Henderson. He's starting the same way he did last night: "51 days from now we're going to win Nevada, and we're going to win four more years in the White House."
Trump again mentions Las Vegas Metro Police Officer Shay Mikalonis, who was shot + paralyzed at the conclusion of a protest in June. Unlike last night, he did not talk about the suspect or refer to him as a "left person." (The suspect said he was just trying to scare protesters.)
We're now about 10 minutes into Trump's speech and he has yet to go after Gov. Sisolak. Last night, he kicked things off right away by talking about Sisolak.
