Pat Robertson, Who Prayed to Move a Hurricane, Says You Can't Pray for Weather [View all]

This is Pat Robertson in 2018, as Hurricane Florence was about to hit Virginia, praying for God to create a “shield of protection” around his property.

..“We declare in the name of the Lord that you shall go no farther, you shall do no damage in this area,” he said. “We declare a shield of protection all over Tidewater and we declare a shield of protection over those innocent people in the path of this hurricane. In Jesus’ holy name, be out to sea!”


And here’s Pat Robertson today, declaring that God has nothing to do with the weather.

… God set certain natural laws in place… to say… he’s sitting there manipulating the weather, I don’t think He does that.
