Many of us know Christians who have said many things, some of which are evil about Donald J. Trump; criticizing his character, his "brashness", what we think his attitude is, commenting about his tweets, his personality, even to the point of judging him, and so on; maybe you reading this have done it. This video (which came out in 2017) was about Donald Trump and more specifically, a book called, God and Donald Trump by Steve Strang (CEO of Charisma Media). Steve says after reading the book by Hillary Clinton called, What Happened, he began investigating the back story on Trump and he began to question if something "divine" might have taken place for him to win.
In this time of being shut-in, (and hopefully asking God to search your OWN heart in repentance, I would ask you to watch this clip and then consider that maybe OUR understanding is NOT very important to God and His ways. Let me say that again differently, God doesn't really care what WE THINK... especially when God is doing something we don't understand, and that we have NO COMPREHENSION about. It is beyond us.
God addresses this in His Word. (Of course He does - right? He addresses everything we need for life and godliness. (2 Peter 1:3) God clearly tells us NOT to lean on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:4&5) yet we live in a culture that highly values what WE know, what WE think, and even OUR educational achievements. OUR knowledge is glorified in our culture, even OVER the Spirit of REVELATION and UNDERSTANDING that can only come from God Himself to us. (Ephesians 1:17). You may need to read those last two sentences again and then read the scriptures. Again, we are in a season of repentance and yet many of us rely solely on ourselves.
I have found close to 80 scriptures talking about how God REVEAL'S (gives us REVELATION) Himself on many different subjects and matters so that we may know the meaning of the secrets of God to gain wisdom and understanding. Revelation is really one of the main KEYS to gain understanding of the times we are living in. Father, humble us to hear YOU above what we think, above what we know, even above what we believe if it is apart from you. Jesus, I repent.
Finally, another prophet I have been following (Tracy Cooke) said a small line in an interview recently that JUMPED out at me. He said that the Lord told him to tell the people, "Don't judge the White House until you judge YOUR house." 😳
God had Donald Trump selected (whether people, even us Christians, like it or not) LONG before we even knew his name, God was preparing him, guiding him, calling him. Then there was Frank Amedia, who was traveling with Trump as a person of prayer at the rallies. They were in Cleveland, OH, on Saturday (June 4th, 2016) before Super Tuesday (June 7, 2016) when Frank said he received a prophecy for Trump so he wrote it down and asked one of Donald's staffers to get the letters to him later that night when he was reflective on the plane flying back to Palm Beach. The letters were released later and said, If you will humble yourself before God, you will win this primary (on Super Tuesday). There was more, God also said he would be the nominee and that he would be the next President of the United States. Notice God gave this word with a contingency; Donald had to humble himself BEFORE GOD. What does humility before God look like? Well, you can read about David in 2 Samuel 7:18-29 and how he did it.
What I find amazing, is even while people (even today) and news media and pundits and opponents and even Christians want to criticize him for being proud, arrogant, brash... he apparently did what the Lord asked, and he humbled himself before God... because he won.
What does that say to you, Christian? To me it says, fix your eyes on pleasing Jesus (Hebrews 12: 1&2) and stop worrying about pleasing man. People may not like you. They may judge you; live for an audience of one. God calls us to be humble before HIM... apparently, Donald is doing that and his walk is between him and God. If you are honest, we humans (Christians included) are very judgmental (think about the Christians you know and what they say about him). Think about that. We need to pray for our President and thank God we have him - flaws and all. Father, I repent and I ask decree and declare four more years for your kingdom to come, your will to be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Thank you for a God-fearing President.
