Donald Trump was elected to
be the 45th President of the United States on November
8th,
2016. Almost no one believed it could actually happen. The Democrats were
already preparing for their victory celebration, but around 8:00 P.M. that
evening something happened. The tide began changing. Suddenly, the clouds grew
darker and darker over the Clinton camp, until the realization finally sunk in,
that there would be no celebration that night.
Since then, true to form,
those who opposed Donald Trump for President have been whining, throwing
tantrums, destroying property, attacking individuals, and making threats
against Mr. Trump. We who have supported Mr. Trump may be the “deplorables,”
but those who are making all this ‘noise’ are typical of the liberal reaction
in this country when they don’t get their way. George Soros is behind much of
this illegal activity by paying hired thugs to cause intimidation and
destruction.
When we lost to Obama in 2008
and 2012 none of this garbage occurred, but look at what is happening now. Obviously,
this says a great deal about the character of those who support the liberal
Democratic agenda. How many will actually leave the country who promised to do
so if their nominee lost? Hopefully, all of them. I would gladly help them
pack.
Doesn’t this sound exactly
like children who are spoiled brats? They get mad, fight, threaten, and take
their toys and leave. Fine, be gone with you! Do they really think they are so
important that they will be missed? They probably do.
There is one absolute,
positive outcome of this election. The election results were clearly by the
grace of God. Many Christians were praying, and actually went out to vote. The
hard-working, common folk of America had had enough, and made their voices heard.
Yet, there is an equal amount of citizenry who actually wish to retain sinful
ways and corrupt leaders. We need to remember that.
The election of Donald Trump
made history on November 8th. I think the Lord likes to take
impossible situations sometimes and show us just what He can do. This was
nothing to Him. It was a piece of cake, but the message is clear. God has put
Mr. Trump in office for whatever His reason may be. Perhaps it’s one final
opportunity to see His power and return to Him in true repentance.
Folks, we aren’t out of the
woods yet. Many things can happen. Mr. Trump cannot save this country or make
it better, but God can, IF His people will glorify His name and continue to do
so. The liberal left will not give up. Nothing they do would surprise me. They
are rabidly energized by satanic forces to accomplish their evil agenda. We are
in a spiritual battle.
“For we do not wrestle
against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,
against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual
forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12 NIV)
So now what? What do we do?
The election was won because God’s people prayed and God granted our request.
Therefore, the answer is obvious. We need to stay on our knees (metaphorically)
praying for our new President and those around him. We need to be much in
prayer for Congress. There are still those in Congress who hate God and are
influenced by evil forces. We need to pray for each other, that we not become
lazy. Satan’s forces will be looking for weak spots to attack.
My prayers are that abortion will
be reversed, ILLEGAL aliens will be
removed and kept out of this country, the Constitution will be upheld by newly
appointed Supreme Court judges that believe it means what it says, that
homosexual marriage and ‘transsexual’ bathroom usage will be reversed, that the
1st and 2nd amendments will be honored, and all the other
liberal hair-brained laws will be reversed. That’s a lot to ask, but nothing is
impossible with our God. The Lord God can use our new President and Congress to
reverse all that is an offense. Will He? Maybe, it may depend on what we do now
with the opportunity the Lord has given us.
Either way, God is always in
control. Whether this is the beginning of reversing the anti-God movement in
this country or if this changes nothing at all, we have nothing to fear if we
are on the Lord’s side. Whether the days ahead are much brighter or darkness
regains control of the reigns, our God is still on His throne and nothing will
happen without His permission.
We, as true Christians, just
need to let our lives glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, share His Word with those
who remain lost, and pray, pray, pray.
