If You Believe That Trump Is A Godsend…

 



I do not know about the rest of you out there, but it would not seem that Trump was delivered from multiple attempts on his life and the lawfare waged against him, was made to withstand all of the lies and slander hurled against him, and elected again as President only to have him fail, but if indeed, as many believe and as it would appear, that God has called our President to fulfill a specific purpose, then we must pray for success in that and believe that somehow, that purpose will be fulfilled and we have to admit, that it was an act of God by His grace and mercy that we were spared what might have otherwise been a very dark era for our nation which would have consisted of continued widescale rigged elections, increased government corruption and oppression, the continued and intensified persecution of Christians and members of the MAGA movement, more severe assaults on and deprivation of our civil and Constitutional liberties, ongoing dependency on foreign energy, an ever increasing debt, massive tax increases and regulations that would have impoverished millions, amnesty for millions of illegals who shouldn’t even be here including criminals and terrorists, an increase in violent crime, the continued deception of our children and students in academia, the loss of our national sovereignty to globalist powers, and the high possibility of another world war abroad and even civil war at home which would have ended in the dissolution of our union but it appears for the moment that we have been spared all those things and we are now on track to have, at least to a certain extent, those evils reversed and those dangers actively addressed in an effective and meaningful fashion.
 
And if there is any way to repay our Creator and demonstrate our gratitude for the grace and mercy that He has shown us, it would be to:
 
Honor Him in everything we do.
Honor Him in our choice of relationships.
Honor Him in the entertainment we produce.
Honor Him in our academics.
Honor Him in how we conduct business in the private sector.
Honor Him in our politics.
Honor Him in our homes.
And honor Him in how we live our lives.
 
And if you don’t know how to do any of those things, then I urge you reader, to humbly seek out your Creator and He will show you the way and there is a book out there that you can read that reveals to us what is in the mind of Go insofar as what we need to know in terms of our beginnings, His character, His nature, how He is to be approached, what He expects of us, and desires for us, and the future of mankind, and the book of which I speak is called the Bible which claims divine inspiration. (2 Tim. 3:16)
 
When we are spared from evil and delivered from those who would do us harm and even destroy us, it is not because we are such a good people, but it is only because God is gracious and merciful and who is not willing that any should perish but that all might come to repentance and make Him their God and their God alone, having no others before Him.
 
But we as a people and nation have placed other gods before Him, have placed our faith in things that are not God and not even of Him, have cast Him out of our public education and activities, have blasphemed and made a mockery out of Him, rejected His moral values, and have gone from embracing a culture of life and purity to embracing a culture of death and depravity.
We abort babies when they are deemed to be inconvenient rather than just give them up for adoption.
We have made a mockery out of the divine and sacred institution of marriage in normalizing LGBT behavior.
Our academic institutions have poisoned the minds of students against anything having to do with God.
 
Mike Huckabee explains even further:
 
 
 
…people sue a city so that we aren't confronted with a manger scene or Christmas carol,
and lawsuits are filed to remove a cross that's a memorial to fallen soldiers.
Churches and Christian owned businesses are told to surrender their values
under the edict of government orders to provide tax funded abortion pills.
We carefully and intentionally stop saying things are sinful and we call them disorders;
sometimes, we even say they're normal, and to get to where we
have to abandon bedrock moral truths. [1]
 
 
 
 
And we then wonder why our government has become increasingly unreliable, untrustworthy, corrupt, evil, and even oppressive.  We wonder why our media is so dishonest, why our entertainment is so depraved, and why our private sector is consumed with greed and our corporations cheat and defraud their consumers and exploit their employees, and why the integrity of our electoral system cannot be trusted.
 
Even Donald Trump himself stated:
 
 
 
I think our country’s missing a lot of religion. I think it really was a much better place with religion. It was almost a guide. To a certain extent it was a guide. You want to be good to people. Without religion there are no guardrails. I’d love to see us get back to religion, more religion in this country. [2]
 
People would say that we were a Christian, religious, and even other faiths country and that seems to be heading in the wrong direction and as that goes down I think that our country goes down…I really think this country needs religion, it’s like the glue that holds it together. [3]
 
 
 
Now, I look forward to the promised changes for the better that Trump claims he will bring to our nation and I hope and pray that he will do his best to follow through in fulfilling the platform on which he ran and that he will be surrounded with a trustworthy administration and with advisors who will give him sound truthful counsel, but if we do not make ourselves right before the God who has extended this season of grace to us, then the political gains that we have made are going to be short-lived but if we want them to endure, then we must in all sincerity turn back to the God upon whose principles this nation was built and founded and submit ourselves to the laws, standards, and precepts that He has set before us for our governance and by which our lives are ordered because if we would do so, then we might discover that we find ourselves in no need of any other laws and what God requires of us is far less than what is required of us by any earthly government or any doctrines and traditions of men which is why He calls us to take upon ourselves His yoke and not that of any other because His yoke is light (Mt. 11:29-30) and I myself have found it to be easier to bear than any other.  How much liberty might we experience if we would but submit to nothing more than those good and perfect laws that come from God Almighty for I would rather that than to become a slave and property of the state.
 
When we read the opening statements of our own Declaration of Independence, it should be made abundantly clear to the reader thereof that the signers of that Declaration did not believe their liberties and rights to come from man, but that their rights and liberties came from God [4] because they believed in a God who is not only the source of the freedoms and liberties we enjoy and which our Constitution was designed to protect, but also the sole decider of what is right and what is wrong and what makes God the supreme moral lawgiver and the decider of what is right and wrong and what God deems to be evil in His sight is anything that goes against what He originally intended when He first made the world and when we understand what kind of world that God had first created, it is only then we begin to understand why it is He sets in place certain boundaries and demands of us to not violate those specific boundaries for the laws and standards that He has set in place and commands for us to abide in are not for our hurt or to bring misery upon us but to protect us from needless suffering and misery for the laws He has set forth were not for the world He had initially created, but rather they were made for the world as it presently is because the world as it presently is not the world that God had initially created for when God made the world, He created it to be a world of life, peace, happiness, and contentment and in which was enjoyed a perfect harmony between God, man, and nature.  It was not a world filled with evil, death, turmoil, destruction, suffering, grief, sorrow, and misery as we witness and experience presently, and so what change the world the world from the perfect world that God had made into the corrupted, death-filled world in evil and suffering of various sorts, degrees, and severities abound, you might ask?  That change from the best that there was to an increasingly evil and darkened state began with the first man Adam and the first woman Eve, Adam’s wife whom God had created and from whom we all descend.
 
Man was given a perfect world in which to live and nothing was withheld from Him except for one thing and that was a certain fruit from a tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, having been warned that in the day that they ate thereof, they would surely die (Gen. 2:16-17, 3:3) but they did not heed the warning that was given to them and disobeyed that one prohibition and when they had eaten of that fruit, a corruption called sin entered into them inwardly corrupting them changing them from being that which was inherently good into that which was inherently evil and as a consequence, the sentence of death that was warned of man came upon him (Gen. 3:19) but the sentence of death did not stop with just Adam and Eve as the sin that entered into them was also passed down to all of mankind for all of us are descendants of that first man and that first woman and because we are their descendants, we have also inherited the sin that entered into them (Rom. 5:12) and because of that sin which we have inherited, we all sin in some form or fashion and as a consequence we all die for as it is written, the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23) but sin is not merely confined to outward behavior or performance or even the words we speak, but it is rather the inherent inward corruption of our very nature defiling our thoughts, hardening and darkening our hearts, and corrupting our very motives which is why it is written that we are not defiled from that which comes from without, but that which comes from within (Mt. 15:11, 18-20) and which is why it is written that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23) which demands of us nothing less than moral perfection and not just in our outward acts but also in our inward as well which is why it is impossible by our own efforts and our own goodness to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, for sin taints, corrupts, defiles, twists, and distorts more than we can comprehend and the effects of sin are not merely confined to mankind, but all of creation is subjected to a curse because of sin which is why it is written that the entire creation groans and travails in pain to this day. (Rom. 8:19-22)
 
What led Adam and Eve to eat of that forbidden fruit was that they, by a lying and deceptive spirit who came to them in the form of a serpent, were made believe that if they had eaten of that forbidden fruit, promising them greater enlightenment than what they already had and an elevation to a higher status than the one in which they were already created (Gen. 3:4-5) but instead of the enlightenment they were promised, they enlightened to their shame (Gen. 3:7) and instead of being elevated to a higher status, they were reduced to an inferior status that was corrupted by sin by which death came into the world and not just to them but to all of humanity and from that point, all of creation itself became affected by the presence and touch of sin and that lying spirit who caused Adam and his wife Eve to eat of that forbidden fruit which inwardly corrupted humanity and changed the world from the once perfect place that God had made it to be into the fallen sin-cursed world that it is today in which death reigns and all kinds of evil and suffering abound and this spirit responsible for leading man into the bondage and tyranny of sin and death and for bringing upon the creation a slow destruction had once served as a covering cherub at the throne of God before he was lifted up in his own pride against his Creator and thought to claim for himself that which belonged to God alone and as a consequence, he and all who followed him, were cast from their positions in Heaven. (Is. 14:11-21, Ezek. 28:12-19)
 
That very spirit who thought to make himself equal with God and then by way of that fateful transgression of Adam and Eve brought sin, death, evil, and suffering into the world was an angel called Lucifer who is better known as Satan or the Devil who has been since even before the creation of the world at enmity with God and has been the adversary of the souls of men and not only did the disobedience of Adam cause sin to enter into mankind and death to come into the world by way of sin, but it also gave Satan justification to claim lordship over the kingdoms and nations of the world (Mt. 4:8-9, Lk. 4:6-7) thereby diminishing the dominion that God had given to man (Gen. 1:26) and it was all brought forth by a lie and it was the very lie that falsely assured Adam and Eve that they would not die from eating the fruit forbidden them as they were warned of God but that they would be granted wisdom and knowledge that they did not have and that they would even become divine and it was believing that lie which led them right into a bondage and oppression that they never could have imagined: the bondage of sin and the tyranny of death and not only them but all of mankind as well since the sin that entered into Adam and Eve was passed down to all who are born into this world and it was also this same lie that subjugated all of creation to the effects of sin, and by which Satan was able, to a certain extent, steal dominion from mankind which is why he is called the father of lies and a murder (Jn. 8:44) and the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (Jn. 10:10) but there is coming a day when evil will be done away and the spirit who ruined this world with that evil will also be cast out of it (Jn. 12:31) but the doing away with evil will also require eliminating all sin from the world as well and that is going to require the elimination of all people who remain in their sins and the worst part about sin is that it estranges and separates man from His Creator because God cannot have any unity with sin and He cannot allow any place for it in His Kingdom or in the better world to come lest His Kingdom and that better world to come were to be tainted and defiled just as this present world is which is why God demands more from us than just a mere change in how we live and our behavior.  He demands something from us that we cannot do ourselves but what He can and will do for us if we will only allow Him to and that is an inward transformation of our hearts, minds, and souls, for if we are to be made free from anything else, we have to first be made free from our inwardly corrupt condition beginning with the redemption of our souls so that we may escape the judgment that is to come upon the face of the earth and so that we need not worry about what will happen after this present life has expired, but can be assured of our admittance into the Kingdom of Heaven and if God holds back and delays judgment, it is because He takes no pleasure in punishment or destruction, but would rather have us turn from our evil ways because the Lord God who made us is a God of love and mercy and would rather demonstrate and love and mercy towards us than wrath and punishment which is why that He is not willing that any should perish and be eternally separated from Him but that all should come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9) and that is where our fight against the darkness begins.  It first begins with turning away from and fighting the darkness from within ourselves and that is the first thing that God wants to liberate us from and He offers that liberation through the forgiveness of sins that He offers through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior whom He sent to take away the sins of the world and Jesus in whom there is no sin (2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15) purchased our redemption on the behalf of sinful man through His death upon the cross on which He was crucified and after having shed His blood was raised again from the dead that we by faith in him, may be justified in Him (Rom. 4:25) so that any of us who call upon His name for the forgiveness of sins (Rom. 10:13) will not perish in eternal damnation, but be saved from condemnation and be admitted into Heaven on the merit of Christ alone by the grace of God and our faith in Him and when we in all sincerity and faith call upon the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins, with the cleansing of the soul comes a change within us; a new nature (2 Cor. 5:17) that enters into us when we receive the forgiveness of sins and a nature that causes us to no longer desire to follow after selfish and worldly pursuits but after those things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven,
to no longer take pleasure in those things that are evil and displeasing in the sight of the Lord, but in that which is good, right, and pleasing in His sight,
to no longer desire to walk in the lies of this present world, but only in the truth that comes from Christ Almighty, (Jn. 14:6) no longer placing our hopes in the things of this present world, but looking forward to that new and better world to come, (Rev. 21-22)
to no longer rely on worldly resources, men, or even our own power, abilities, skills, and wisdom for our needs and provision but upon God who is able to meet all of our needs (Mt. 6:25-33) recognizing that the resources of this world and even the people He brings into our lives are but instruments and vessels through which God meets our needs and that the skills, power, knowledge, and wisdom by which we might acquire our provision are provided and instilled in us by God,
to no longer fear what men can do to us, but rather fearing the God before whom we will have to one day give an account for how we lived our lives, (Mt. 10:28)
to no longer look to corruptible institutions within our society for direction and order in our lives but to God who, by His written Word has given us laws and precepts to be applied to our lives and which serve to produce and maintain an ordered life, and who, by His Holy Spirit which comes to dwell within us upon repentance, establishes in our lives a course and direction in our lives to pursue for His glory,
to no longer seek our own glory but the glory of God,
to no longer rally behind corruptible men, but instead behind the incorruptible God in Heaven bearing in mind that those men and women God raises up for our edification are but instruments and servants of His for that respective purpose to which He has called them,
to no longer seek to align ourselves with the things of darkness but only with the things of the light,
to no longer trust in the wisdom of the world but only on the wisdom and knowledge that comes from above, nor depend on corruptible earthly authorities to swiftly administer justice, but only in the power of God to deliver us from evil.
 
And it is this new inward transformation that reconciles us to our Creator (2 Cor. 5:18) from whom we had once been estranged and just as our souls are cleansed from sin and our spirits regenerated in Christ Jesus thereby liberating us from the eternal tormenting punishment that must come upon all who remain in their sins, so one day we look forward to the liberation of our bodies from death itself when our mortal and corruptible forms are transformed into that which is immortal and incorruptible and from that which is imperfect to that which is perfect (1 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) and lastly, creation itself will be delivered from the curse placed upon it because of sin when it is made into a new and better world (Rev. 21-22) and liberated from the hand of our adversary Satan, who presently claims dominion, when he is given his final sentence and cast into an everlasting tormenting fire prepared for him and his followers (Mt. 25:41, Rev. 20:10-15) and in that new world which will be made, there will be no sin, no death, no decay, nor any curse, nor any evil, or violence, suffering, misery, grief, sorrow, mourning, pain, or hardship of any sort for all of these will pass away with this present world.  Instead, there will only be light, life, happiness, joy, contentment, peace, and rest before the Lord God Almighty which is that perfect liberty to which we must look and place our hope in because it will be an everlasting liberty never to be stolen from us again like it had been stolen from us in the garden where that first act of disobedience took place which had cost man that perfect liberty for by subtlety and deceit did that wicked and fallen angel Satan who is the source of tyranny and oppression beguile mankind out of his perfect liberty through granting the illusion of a greater freedom, a counterfeit freedom which only estranged man from God, subjected him to a corrupted nature, sentenced him to death, placed him under the threat of eternal damnation, brought the entire creation under a curse, and empowered the source of all tyranny, darkness, oppression, evil, suffering, hardship, pain, grief, sorrow, and misery of every sort to claim lordship over all the nations, kingdoms, and empires, tribes, kindreds, and tongues and there is not a place in the world this day, that has not been influenced or infiltrated in some in some way by this evil spirit who is lord over all tyrannical powers but if you want to deliver a blow to his power, it begins with your own life and it begins with repentance and calling upon the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins because every soul who calls upon the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins and dedicates themselves to His service and each person that does so brings a little more light to a dark world and if you have not already done so, I urge you reader to repent of your sins and call upon the name of the Lord Jesus who is able to wash away our sins from our very souls and it is but a simple prayer of repentance away:
 
 
 
What do you reader choose? If you have not done so already and choose redemption, love, mercy, and forgiveness and salvation, and to be on the side of life, light, liberty, and all that is good and right, that I would urge you to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus for the forgiveness of sins so that you may be made a member of His everlasting empire of liberty and a perfect liberty at that and also a citizen of the Heavenly Kingdom which will be joined to that that new and better world that is to come.  It is but a sincere prayer of repentance away:
 
 
 
"Lord Jesus I need you.
 
 
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
 
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
 
 
Amen."
 
 
Know that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.
