New York City Mayor Eric Adams Says God Told Him to Speak About His Faith

"Thirty years ago I woke up from my sleep with a cold sweat. God spoke to my heart and said, 'You are going to be the mayor on January 1, 2022.' And the message was clear. God said, you can't shut up, you have to tell everyone you know."

Sunday, on the occasion of Father's Day, Eric Adams, Mayor of New York, spoke to members of the Lenox Road Baptist Church. He claimed that he would never stop talking about his faith or about God, because God told him to.

He compared his life to that of Esther.

"It's a time like Esther 4:14. God created me for a time like this. God took the most perfectly imperfect person and brought him up to the level of being the most perfect man. powerful of New York City"

Eric Adams went on to say that God spoke to him over 30 years ago to tell him he would become mayor of New York.

"Thirty years ago I woke up from my sleep with a cold sweat. God spoke to my heart and said, 'You are going to be the mayor on January 1, 2022.' And the message was clear. God said, you can't shut up, you have to tell everyone you know."

Last February, he spoke about the separation of Church and State. "Don't talk to me about the absence of prayer in public schools, don't talk to me about the separation between Church and State. The State is the body, the Church is the heart", he had then affirmed. Words that he had clarified a few days later.

"If you remove the heart from the body, the body dies. Just because I'm a chosen one doesn't mean I can separate myself from my beliefs."
