“Payne said this movement of charismatics exhibit a version of nationalism that is portable but “subservient to eschatological Israel.” One example is a social media post by former Brazilian First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro, a charismatic Christian, after she cast a ballot for her Catholic husband, Payne said. In her post, Bolsonaro asked God’s blessing upon Brazil and Israel.

To illustrate the vast reach of the music produced in charismatic churches, Payne cited the success of a music video of a dance anthem written by Gui Brazil, a Christian D.J. living in Portugal. This 19-minute video, which was produced by Jesus Image, a congregation in Orlando, Fla., garnered 63 million online views. She noted Elevation Church, a congregation in Charlotte, N.C., that recently disaffiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, also is a prolific producer and distributor of worship music.”
