Evangelical pastor prays over Donald Trump in Oval Office. This is the moment evangelical leaders laid their hands on Donald Trump's back as they prayed over him in the Oval Office. Evangelical pastor Rodney Howard- Browne led a prayer circle alongside his wife Adonica in the White House and then shared the image on Facebook. President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence can be seen closing their eyes and bowing their heads in the solemn moment. The group were invited to pray with Trump during a meeting with members of The Office of Public Liaison. Others pictured included Jack Graham, the pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, and Michele Bachmann, the former Republican congresswoman from Minnesota. Evangelical pastor Rodney Howard- Browne posted this image of himself and wife Adonica leading prayers over President Trump on Monday as people laid their hands on him. Mr Howard- Browne, who came from South Africa to America in 1. God', called the moment 'surreal' and 'humbling'Mr Howard- Browne, who is from South Africa but came to America in 1.

God', described the moment as 'surreal' and 'humbling'. He wrote: 'Yesterday I was asked by Pastor Paula White- Cain to pray over our 4. President - what a humbling moment standing in the Oval Office - laying hands and praying for our President - Supernatural Wisdom, Guidance and Protection - who could ever even imagine - wow - we are going to see another great spiritual awakening. Mr Howard- Browne's teachings on the concept of 'holy laughter' - an outpouring of joy caused by the Holy Spirit - helped to inspire the Toronto Blessing, which many believe to be an instance of mass blessing which took place in 1.

Johnnie Moore, a former senior vice president at Liberty University, a large evangelical university in Virginia, was also at the meeting. He told CNN that they used to also pray with Obama, but with Trump it is different.'When we are praying for President Trump, we are praying within the context of a real relationship, of true friendship,' he said.'He was also in good spirits,' Moore said. He was as strong and focused as I have ever seen him.

It was as if he was entirely above the fray.' President Trump put his Christian faith at the front and center of his campaign for the presidency, and made a particular point of appealing to evangelicals. At dozens of his rallies he proudly read out polls showing strong approval ratings from the evangelical community, and thanked them for their support. It was Trump's positioning of himself as a defender of the faith - at one point vowing 'to protect Christianity' - that saw him ultimately defeat Ted Cruz to become the Republican nominee. And this latest image attracted a lot of support on social media.

Mr Howard- Browne and his wife (left, standing behind Trump, and together right) predicated 'another great spiritual awakening' following the prayer session. The pair were invited to the White House to pray with President Trump by his spiritual adviser Paula White- Cain, seen here standing to the right of him. Writing on the Facebook post, Melinda S. Wiley wrote: 'Thank you Jesus! Cover Your President Lord! Anoint him and fill him with the Holy Spirit for Your will to be done!

Hallelujah! Thank you Abba!'Tammie Rogers added: 'Praise God fill him Jesus with your spirit keep your hands on him. It's time we have a president that puts America first and belief in the almighty God the one one that can change everything.'Thank you pastors and for obeying God and surrounding our President with all your prayers, and thank you President Trump for allowing them to pray for you.'I get goose bumps thinking what God is going to do.'But not everyone was convinced by the show of faith. Kenneth Averell said: 'Lord help us all. Watch The Sadness Putlocker#.

How anyone sees Trump as the savior of the evangelicals is beyond me. 'Doesn't have a Christian bone in his body. Doesn't attend church. Multiple divorces. Adultery. Literally about every single commandment he's broken. 'We're all sinners, but c'mon, the evangelical right is choosing this guy to lead their 'spiritual awakening'?'.

The top 2. 5 underappreciated straight- to- DVD films Are you tired of big summer blockbusters ultimately just being an advert for the next instalment in the franchise? Are you fed up with incomprehensible CGI action scenes and two hour plus runtimes? Do you miss the days when a muscle- bound kickboxer with a strange European accent was a bigger box office draw than Iron Man? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above, I implore you to check the murky world of straight to video action films. While features going straight to home entertainment have been a fixture since the earliest days of VHS, the rise of DVD in the early 2. As opposed to the virtually home- made productions of the 8. DVD premieres have budgets in the low millions  and feature recognisable names.

In particular, they’ve become a haven for action stars in the old school mode, whether they are aging heroes of yesteryear (Jean- Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal), a new generation (Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White) or wrestlers and MMA stars trying to muscle in on the acting world. The DTV market has really become like the grindhouse of old, the sort of arena Roger Corman used to excel in, where profitability is takes precedent over everything – if you can put explosions and Dolph Lundgren’s face on the DVD cover, it doesn’t really mater what the film itself is actually like. And just like the grindhouses of the 7. Here are 2. 5 DTV films worth tracking down.

SUBMERGED (2. 00. This one is generally not that well regarded by DTV fans, but it’s a personal favourite of mine, which is why I’m including it here. It’s a sloppily- made, crazy mess, but it’s also the sort of insane fascinating mess that you can only get from cheap DTV action flicks. Where else can you see Steve Seagal, Vinnie Jones and Carla Connor from Coronation Street all in the same film?

The amazing story of Ethiopia's resistance against Fascist Italy's invasion. It's an epic tale of courage, betrayal, faith, love and a proud nation that refused to. Revenge thrillers, action sequels and flying kicks from Scott Adkins and Michael Jai White. It's 25 straight-to-DVD movies worth your time. Replicants, superheros, and reboots await you in our Fall Movie Guide. Plan your season and take note of the hotly anticipated indie, foreign, and documentary. Film, music, broadcast, and entertainment business news, including independents and international information. This is the moment evangelical leaders laid their hands on Donald Trump's back as they prayed over him in the Oval Office. Evangelical pastor Rodney Howard-Browne led.

The DVD cover has a big submarine across it, and both the title and synopsis on the back of the box seem to imply it’s some sort Hunt For Red October derivative, yet the sub itself is only in the film for about 1. Most of the action concerns a violent revolution in Uruguay - an inaccurate depiction that irked the Uruguayan Education and Culture department so much that they considered legal action.

DTV movies can be an acquired taste, and Submerged might be the most acquired of all, but I definitely enjoy it. COMMAND PERFORMANCE (2. A Die Hard rip- off where Dolph Lundgren plays a drummer who battles terrorists who take over the stadium his band are playing in. Need we say more?

SCI FI Channel is now Syfy, but you can still get access to all your favorite SCI FI Channel content right here. Syfy features science fiction, drama, supernatural. Friday Night Lights was inspired by H.G. "Buzz" Bissinger's non-fiction book Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream (1990) and the 2004 film based on it. I propose an amendment to Commandment VI: Instead it should read, “thou shalt BE PREPARED TO give MOST of the money to the touring band”. As a local act we were.

LIBERTY STANDS STILL (2. It might be because he was preoccupied with his legal troubles, but Wesley Snipes’ straight to video films have been far less interesting that those of other faded action stars. His first film to skip cinemas (clearly intended for a theatrical release) is a really solid high- concept thriller though. In what is mostly a two hander, Snipes plays a sniper who targets gun company VP Linda Fiorentino, trapping her in his sights and handcuffing her to a hot dog cart while an elaborate revenge plot plays out.

Coming out the same year as the Colin Farrell- starring Phone Booth, it was one of those Deep Impact- Armageddon situations where two films with the same premise serendipitously come out very close together. Unfortunately, Liberty Stands Still was the clear loser financially (maybe they should have renamed it Hot Dog Cart?), but it’s worth seeing with a strong performance from Snipes and a worthy anti- gun message. DRAGON EYES (2. 01. A starring vehicle for Vietnamese- American MMA fighter Cung Le, helmed by John Hyams of the amazing Universal Soldier sequels. It’s a loose take on the old Yojimbo/ A Fistful Of Dollars scenario, with Cung Le arriving in a small town full of gangsters and then proceeding to beat the crap out of all of them.

The plot gets a bit complicated and the fights are a touch over- edited, but Le is a snarling ball of rage that holds the whole thing together. Plus Peter Weller plays the bad guy. Jean Claude Van Damme is given equal billing to Le, but in truth he only has a ten minute cameo towards the end. He does get one pretty great fight scene though, and he has the haggard hangdog face that makes the best late- period JCVD so good. DAMAGE (2. 00. 9)Damage is as generic an underground fighting movie as you could imagine, but it’s carried by WWE Hall Of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin in the lead role, whose general likability makes it worth seeing.

Austin plays a convict released on parole when the wife of the man he killed appeals to the parole board. It turns out she had ulterior motive, however – her daughter is seriously ill and she guilt trips him into raising the money for her life- saving transplant. So it’s a film where Stone Cold Steve Austin has to bare- knuckle box to get a new heart for a sick little girl. It’s as schmaltzy as hell – it reminds me of Stallone’s heart- warming arm- wrestling movie Over The Top – but somehow it works. It’s strange, Austin’s wrestling persona was always that of a rowdy hell- raiser, but here he carries the film by playing essentially a well- meaning man trying to avoid violence and make amends for his previous sins. Backing him up in the obligatory ‘character actor here for a paycheck’ role is Justified and Django Unchained’s Walton Goggins.

EL GRINGO (2. 01. The first of several appearances on this list of Midlands- born martial artist Scott Adkins. You might have seen him in The Expendables 2 or Zero Dark Thirty, but he’s started in a load of incredible made for DVD films that blow away most of the action films released in cinemas. He’s got a likable persona and an incredible acrobatic and brutal fighting style, and if it was the 8. DTV work. El Gringo is a pretty blatant copy of Robert Rodriguez’s Mariachi/Desperado movies.

The action focuses more on Adkins shooting and running around instead of doing jaw- dropping flying kicks, but it’s still a really pacy and exciting and rarely slows down for minute. It also features a Christian Slater cameo, a dog sidekick for Adkins and theme song from cheesy heavy metal band Manowar, all of which I highly approve of. BELLY OF THE BEAST (2. A lot of Steve Seagal’s straight to DVD efforts, with a few notable exceptions, are tired, boring films, shot in grey Eastern European locations, with muddled plotting and lots of ADR. Occasionally you got some inspired lunacy out of it – like Out For A Kill or Flight Of Fury (where he fought sexy lesbian Taliban members over an invisible plane), but mostly they are a slog to watch. Breaking the mould however is 2.

Belly Of The Beast, directed by Ching Siu- tung. Ching made his name with classics 8. Hong Kong action cinema like the Chinese Ghost Story and Swordsman series, and manages to briefly reinvigorate Seagal with some of those films’ manic energy. It’s much brighter than the typical drab DTV production, and brings proper supernatural elements to a Seagal film for the first time. SPECIAL FORCES (2. The film that first united the team of Scott Adkins and director Isaac Florentine, who would be responsible for some of the real gems of the new DTV golden age.

Special Forces doesn’t hit the high points of the Undisputed films or Ninja 2, but it’s still a gleefully silly action romp. Part of a series of patriotic action films that Nu Image made celebrating different branches of the US military, the OTT patriotism might be the most fun thing about it. It even ends with Adkins asking the gruff team leader why they keep on doing what they do, and the camera just pans over to an American flag on the wall and zooms in.

IN HELL (2. 00. 3)One of the big appeals of the current crop of straight to DVD action films is that it’s really let a few aging action stars do a few more interesting things that their 8. Dolph Lundgren started directing, and also built a nice sideline in weirder comedy parts. Steven Seagal worked on expanding his waistline. But it’s Jean- Claude Van Damme who has taken the most advantage of the freedom from being away from the mainstream.
