    Jesus on many media outlets and social networks are backing the Democratic candidate in a Message to John Leary dated Thursday, September 17. 2020:

    Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing a struggle between freedom under your Constitution vs. those people who want socialism or communism. You are seeing both candidates preparing for the beginning debates. Many media outlets and social networks are backing the Democratic candidate. Your President, who puts America first and supports life against abortion, is your best hope to keep America free from socialism. Pray for him and that your election can continue without cheating at the voting poles. You also need to pray for your protection from any riots or attempted coups. Trust in My protection, when you will need to come to My refuges.”
