It is only when we look at the policies, rulings, and legislation that President Trump and his administration have initiated on behalf of biblical conservative values, that believers can rightly discern the effectiveness and impact of the White House. Here are TEN REASONS, along with corroborating reports, why evangelical Christians can support this administration as they seek to uphold many of the values we hold most dear. We hope you not only study these for yourself, but SHARE them with those who still struggle with this President’s agenda or actions. (Hyperlinks to original articles are embedded in text.)

1-THIS ADMINISTRATION HONORS THE SANCTITY OF LIFE

Since taking office, President Trump has championed numerous initiatives to defund Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry. He has repeatedly defended the sanctity of life and has vowed to champion the cause of the unborn. Not only has he stood by pro-lifers, his administration has rolled back the contraceptive mandate making it easier to get a religious exemption. The President has stated, “All children, born and unborn, are made in the holy image of God. Every life is sacred, and every soul is a precious gift from Heaven.”

2-THIS ADMINISTRATION SUPPORTS BIBLICAL SEXUALITY AND FAMILY VALUES  

From the first day in office, the Trump administration took definitive steps to curtail the promotion of the LGBT lifestyle by dismantling special rights and privileges gifted to political activists under the previous administration. The Presidents’ support for biblical sexuality has been reinforced through reversing Obama’s policy for transgenders in the military and reversing the ruling on same-sex bathrooms. Trump has stated, “faith and family are the foundational blocks for life” and the center of American life. To help support growing families, in 2017 Trump signed into law a tax credit for businesses who provide paid leave for new parents.  As a father himself, President Trump raised his own five children to avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs.

3-THIS ADMINISTRATION CHAMPIONS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

In 2018, President Trump signed an Executive Order entitled “Establishment of a White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative” in order to assure ongoing religious freedom for all people of faith. He has championed the rights of business owners to refuse customers who violate their religious beliefs, has proposed Bible literacy classes in six states, and advanced global religious freedom.  Speaking to a group of international Christians experiencing persecution he stated, “In America we’ve always understood that our rights come from God, not from government. In our Bill of Rights the first liberty is religious liberty. Each of us has the right to follow the dictates of our conscience and the demands of our religious conviction. We know that if people are not free to practice their faith then all of the freedoms are at risk.”

4-THIS ADMINISTRATION APPOINTS CONSERVATIVE JUDGES

President Trump has already secured a legacy in appointing more  judges (89) to the courts than either Obama or Bush. These appointments have already impacted American life by numerous court rulings made in favor of Christian conservative values, including the protection of the unborn, property rights, and border security. His originalist appointees to circuit courts are bringing rulings back in line with the Constitution rather than left-leaning politics. Given a second term, Trump’s administration is likely to appoint at least one, if not two, more  supreme court justices, which will affect the nation’s governing policies for decades to come.

5-THIS ADMINISTRATION PROTECTS THE NATION FROM TERRORIST THREATS

Just two weeks into his presidency, Trump issued an Executive Order Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States. His team’s immigration policies reflect their priority in keeping American citizens safe from outside illegal activities and assuring border protection and national sovereignty from international threats. To those who work with the President on foreign policy, he is said to be “deliberative, humanitarian, and measured” in addressing conflicts with other nations.

6-THIS ADMINISTRATION DEFENDS ISRAEL AND PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS

Showing strong support for Israel, President Trump not only officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, moving the embassy there in 2018, but he also recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights in 2019, stating it was a “…critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability.” His administration is also committed to protecting persecuted Christians from around the world. Forming the Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, President Trump has gathered Christians from other nations to address the problem and recently created the International Religious Freedom Alliance to affirm religious liberties globally.

7-THIS ADMINISTRATION CREATES JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND SUSTAINED ECONOMIC GROWTH

The economy has been thriving since Trump took office with over six million new jobs created and his business acumen continues to surprise his detractors.  In addition to tax reforms, record-high stock market prices and oil production, there has been a robust jobs market and a rising GDP. This has benefited the black community, minority groups, and young people looking for work, as well as gotten over 3.5 million people off food stamps.  In addition, his administration has launched pioneering initiatives through apprenticeships, education, and on-the-job training to encourage companies in creating more job opportunities for middle America.

8-THIS ADMINISTRATION ALIGNS WITH A GOD-HONORING PLATFORM

Based on the 2016 written platforms of each major party, God was mentioned twelve times in the Republican platform and none in the Democratic platform. In the spring of 2019, Democrats also removed “so help me, God” from House Committee oaths. At the 2016 Democratic National Convention, there was fierce debate on the floor as to whether to leave God in their platform. The ideologies and values of the Democratic party have changed significantly in the past two decades. Where the Democratic party’s platform is now clear on its support for abortion, marriage equality, and LBGT rights, the Republican party clearly stands for life, traditional marriage, and religious freedom. In regards to racial equality, the Republican party has historically been known as the party of anti-slavery in this nation, with a long list of advancements on behalf of black Americans.

9-THIS PRESIDENT INVITES PRAYER AND EVANGELICAL COUNSEL

Even before he was elected, Donald Trump brought together an informal faith advisory team to provide counsel during his campaign. Since being in office, this team has continued to be a sounding board for issues concerning evangelicals. Numerous insiders claim that Christian faith is at the forefront of the Trump White House. Vice President Mike Pence states that Trump routinely requests prayer during cabinet meetings. Trump has stated, “America will be a nation that believes forever, and we certainly believe, more than anyone, the power of prayer—it’s the most powerful thing there is.” At a Rose Garden gathering during the National Day of Prayer in 2018, President Trump made a surprising and rare statement from his podium, as he highlighted the testimony of a man who found Christ in prison. Going beyond any perceived safe zone in simply recognizing “faith” or “God,” President Trump named the name of Jesus as the way to salvation and celebrated this man whose life was changed by prayer and reading the Bible.

10-THIS PRESIDENT AND HIS ADMINISTRATION FIGHT SPIRITUAL ENEMIES FAR WORSE THAN NATURAL ONES

Even if one doubts any of the previous points and is still challenged by this President’s message or methods, we must be reminded of the spiritual battle that is raging over his assignment and this nation. The demonic strongholds asserting their power and influence in our culture are specifically aimed at taking control of our government, our laws, and our land. Regardless if this President understands the spiritual powers at work behind the scenes, he faces them, nonetheless. The boldness he exhibits in confronting corruption and the determination he displays in draining the swamp may be motivated by a higher power.

We are told in Isaiah 9:7 that the “…increase of His government and of peace there will be no end” and that “…the zeal of the Lord of Hosts will do this.” It is this zeal of the Lord that we must pray for, not only for this President, but for all believers who are praying that the Kingdom of God would overshadow the kingdoms of this world and that righteousness would reign in this nation, once again.

I’m baffled . The way to judge a mans goodness isn’t by what he says but how he treats others . I’m a follower of Jesus . I’m very upset at what you say about this man. He’s about as mean as it gets . His whole adult life he has been an adulterer . He was having sex with others while Malaniea was pregnant . He talks trash to anyone who doesn’t bow down. He’s the most prideful man I’ve ever seen. His God is money

Praying the deceived evangelical “Christians” of America will see the light and not be blinded by the stardust, unrealistic promises and gold of Trump! If anyone should understand the problem with electing an ego-maniac and false Christian, like Trump, it should be Christians! The Bible warns us of a person, just like Trump, of becoming the anti-Christ taking over the world and destroying it. His personality, ego, speeches and personality disorders mirror that of other dictators, like Hitler and Napoleon. So, even if you don’t think Trump is the anti-Christ, why would ANYONE with ANY brains and knowledge of the Bible vote for a person, who resembles the description of the anti-Christ, Hitler or Napoleon! Chances are, things will turn out bad for America and Christians, if he is not impeached! It is sad and breaks God’s heart to see His Church supporting the Devil Trump. Matthew 7:21-23 New King James Version says: 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22: Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ They better watch out if they are true believers. I seriously doubt God approves of anything the Devil Trump does supports, says or does. To God, he is just another sinner in need of forgiveness and salvation and by his own words, Trump tells us he is always right and never needs forgiveness. The only thing Christ requires for salvation.
Trump is for Trump. Literally, like a chameleon, he changes every day for every crowd. One day he has bright yellow hair, orange face and a hot, bigoted head for the younger, feistier crowd. Then, he is light blonde, skin normal and caring Donald. He is after those evangelical moms, their boring little lives and their lower middle-class, beer chugging, Bible toting Johnboy! Then, there is the Silver fox and pasty skinned Sir Donald. The savior of the super-rich! Then there is the ash brown Trump with a beige face trying to show his true color of BS, to the ignorant.
True believers will reject Trump and be raptured. Trump supporters will find themselves rejected by Jesus at the gates of Heaven and sent to follow and serve the eternal Trump in Hell. Luke 13:28 “In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out. God is talking to the church when he said in Matthew 24:10 At that time many will fall away and will hate and betray each other and many false prophets will lie and mislead.
Don’t lose your salvation over Trump’s lies to end abortion and support religious freedom. He is using these things to deceive Christians and they better wake up and quit taking bites of Trump’s poisonous apple. Shame on you, Paula Cain White, Mark Burns and Jerry Falwell Jr. for being false prophets for the Devil Trump! Repent now to save your soul and the souls of those who follow you.

      Who despises me? Christians, who follow the teachings of Christ or those, who pretend to love the Lord, yet, spit in the face of their Savior by supporting the man of lawlessness Trump, who is the antithesis of Jesus. For that sin, the word says in Matthew 8:12, it says “but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Jesus is talking to Christians, no non believers. During the rapture parables, where half are taken and half are left. Who are the Christians taken and left behind and why? Those Christians, who sold their salvation for a taste of Satan’s poisonous apple i.e. stopping abortion, gay marriages and protecting religious freedom is the Devil Trump’s con of God’s chosen. A con prophecy projects and evangelicals accept, because their political belief in a demon driven man and his promises is worth losing your salvation and place in Heaven. God specifically warns the church of this 2 Thessalonians 2:3Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness (the son of destruction) is revealed. 4:He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Trump has proclaimed himself to be the “King of Israel” and the “chosen” one. He acts like he is God and he is lawless beyond all. Those accepting Trump as such, forsaking all that Jesus has taught and expects of us, will be judged harshly and turned away by Jesus. Matthew 7:22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’ Eternal death is the penalty for worshiping and supporting the man of lawlessness. I will pray for you and fight for the souls of the fallen church, until the Lord returns.

    Amen! You have been clear and specific as to why believers need to listen to God speak to their spirit and have discernmnent in regard to Trump. Having been on this site before, I received attacks to repent and that is so extremely sad to me instead of receiving the truth, many ask who am I to throw a stone. What a tragedy to use scripture in that condescending spirit. Trump has succeeded is dividing the country more than anyone in American history, has the lowest approval rating in history, has used profanity more than any president in history, insults world leaders making our country a mockery, puts children in cages, demeans women and is only interested in himself and continues to be greedy for power at any cost. We would all be dead from radiation if he nuked the last hurricane. I am amazed at his stupidity and cannot understand at all why some evangelicals support him. Do we not know that God looks at the heart of man and not his polocies? My prayer continues to be that believers seek the truth so we can be a United body for Christ, above all else, but also for our country to return to him on our knees.

      For Trump Christians to throw stones at anyone is ludicrous, as they will never have any standing of righteousness, while standing with Trump. Besides all of Trump’s followers secular contradictions, they eagerly support his false principles, which directly contradicts what Jesus says. As with abortion, they want to legislate sin of others, while they sin the sin of supporting the anti-Christ and allow living children to be put in and abused in concentration camps at the border. Matthew 7: 1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. This sums up Trump’s Cult of Christians perfectly!

Huummm. Nice try. But, no you cannot follow Trump and Christ, they are headed in opposite directions. The article above is the type of spin aimed at folks who do not read the Bible and are not interested in following Christ, but who would like to try to claim they are Christians while standing against Christ. If you were to read the Bible, you would not be prey to the the type of dishonesty that the article represents. However, you could always start with this passage. “The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”
Leviticus 19:34
Or, you might think how this verse applies to those who use the Lord’s name in vain, by claiming that they follow Jesus and Trump. “If anyone causes one of these little ones–those who believe in me–to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Matthew 18:6
Please quit taking the name of God in vain and trying to dirty it by associating it with Donald Trump and his crew of evil criminals. We will pray that Trump and all of his followers repent and turn to the Lord.

    It should also be noted that the list of ten reasons includes several blatant falsehoods. That is further reason to acknowledge that one cannot follow Jesus and follow Trump. Any attempt to even claim that it is possible to do both results in lying, as well as taking the name of the Lord in vain.

      Yes, Thank-you, David. Those who claim to be both Christian and following Trump are modern Herodians, attempting to identify power with religion. In the first century, these Herodians were enemies of Jesus. In the first century, Jesus was offered by the devil political power (Matthew 4: 8-10) and turned it down. But the devil has continually returned to Christians with this offer and IFA, Falwell and others have bought into this seduction. Children of God, there are many antichrists (I John 2: 18) and Trump is one of them.

      The longterm impact of American Christians identifying the gospel of Jesus with this corrupt porn-loving president will be horrific.

      Trump is the devil and the promise of stopping abortion, gays and supporting religious freedom is the poisonous apple, Trump used to deceive “Christians” into supporting him. As with all of the Devil Trump’s “promises”. There is no truth to what he speaks. Just as the Bible prophesied, in the end times there would be a great falling away by the church. When 80% of evangelicals marked their ballot for Trump. They marked their demise with his number tattooed on their heart and soul.

    It is hard to find “Christians, who stand with truth, rather political or Biblical. It is hard to see our brothers and sisters, be manipulated and brainwashed, so easily. That is why it is important for Christians, who follow Christ and the Bible to try to reach those, who have fallen under the demonic influence of the Devil Trump. Their salvation is dependent on them rejecting this evil man and ask for God’s forgiveness, before it is too late.

    It was his first of many evil “miracles”, he has committed as the great deceiver. He didn’t win, he cheated, with the help from his demonic brother Putin. He and Putin are trying to do it again. The Trump “Christian” Cult, who pretend to be Christians, but have sold their soul and salvation to the Devil Trump will be held responsible for their support, when Jesus rejects them at the gates of Heaven or leaves them behind in the rapture. The New Testament is packed full of warnings against following the anti-Christ, while pretending to be a Christian. There is no good in Trump. Only evil. Trump is nonsense and everything he does is for his own good, including protecting our religious rights. Besides putting corrupt Judges on the Supreme Court, who like Kavanuagh and Trump is a pervert and sinner in their own right, decide what a non-believer should do with their body. Kavanaugh gets away with raping woman and he’s going to decide what rights women have after they have been raped. Kavannaugh, Trump and all sinners have no business controlling other people’s lives in America. You have to go to Iran for those kinds of restrictions and bigoted judgement. We have a Constitution which protects hypocrites from controlling others lives. Suggest you read it and the Bible, which offers sinners redemption and love, instead of condemnation and hate. Matthew 7:5 says Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. … You hypocrite!

I thank God for President Trump. From before he was the nominee God put a love in my heart for him. I’m so thankful to God for placing President Trump and Vice President Pence in leadership of our country for such a time as this. So thankful for all the points made in the article of the good that is being done through this administration. May God continue this marvelous work that is being accomplished and praise be unto God for His mighty goodness to us and to our nation. May God’s people arise in the Holy Spirit and pray for a mighty move of God across this nation.

    God did not choose Trump, the electoral college did and God did not speak to those voters. It saddens me deeply that believers don’t look at this present actions, not to mention his past indecency as well as his wife. He uses profanity, he strikes down everyone who doesn’t agree with him, he tweets ridiculous messages and throws everyone else under the bus. He has separated children from their parents who are looking to the US as asylum from the tyranny of their government and he has no compassion for anyone except himself. He will have to answer to God for all his mess and lies = as we all will. He is like a toddler who won’t grow up and see reality and has tantrums when things don’t go his way. People, wake up. Trump is an indecent person who has destroyed the reputation of our country.

      In 2015, I was surprised to find that God told us that Trump was His man. So our intercessory group began to pray for him from 8am to 9am, Monday thru Sat from Oct. 2015 until January 23, 2017 in a telephone conference call. We now pray three days a week for him and the Nation.
      When praying about 40 years ago In the late 70’s God told us that abortion was His most important issue when it came to voting. With that information, our entire group moved from the Democratic party to the Republican party, as the Democrat party had abortion as part of their platform. Now the Democrat party has not only abortion, but infanticide and same sex marriage as part of their platform. One can not pray for their family to be well and healthy on one hand and vote for the party that supports abortion and sexual abominations with the other hand. I would caution anyone who is not praying for the leader of their Nation, as God says to first pray for the King. Additionally, Trump has been called to this position. Lean not to your own understanding, but in all of your ways acknowledge Him. His ways are higher than yours. Do not stick your finger in the eye of God. You are list all negative views of him. Let you who have no sin cast the first stone. He is a new Christian. He stands against abortion. He honors Israel. He moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem. He has put two very conservative Judges into the Supreme Court, He has a love for our Nation and has the heart of a father toward our Nation. He loves and honors our military and police. He turned the situation with Isis around, He has negotiated to get Americans being held in prisons in other countries freed. He has raised admirable, responsible children. He is returning prosperity to our Nation. He has created an atmosphere for jobs, allowing families to thrive. I believe that you are not only in error, but you are in sin. It is sin not to know the will of the Father. If you are a Christian,you are responsible to uphold and pray for the Nation. I invite you to cast down preconceived ideas and all vane imaginations that prevail themselves against the mind of Christ. His ways are higher than yours. Lean not to your own understanding, but in all of your ways acknowledge Him. I believe you grieve the heart of God when you do not recognize President Trump as God’s man for this time.

        You have written beautifully but unfortunately misled and blinded. In the group of believers I know and pray with acknowledge the blunder of Trump as president. He is hateful and destructive and dangerous. God has led me and many others to spread the truth and to be aware of false prophets and teachings. Our country is and always has been under spiritual attack. Politics is irrelevant since those in power are blatantly blasphemous. Morality cannot be legitimized by law under any leader since only Jesus can save and cleanse. I do not grieve the heart of God as He is my anchor and Father and directs my steps. I pray for our country and for the suffering around us and in other parts of the world. I can only say what God gives me as the truth and I understand some will not accept it.

        You say God did not chose him. Did you vote for a full term abortion supporter? During Clinton’s term, the house and Senate voted to outlaw partial birth abortion. Clinton vetoed the bill. Definition of partial birth abortion. Deliver the baby breach, feet first, all but the head. Then they push an instrument into the babies brain, so when the head is delivered, the baby is dead. HOW CAN A CHRISTIAN VOTE FOR AND SUPPORT A DEMOCRAT WITH THAT DEMOCRAT PLATFORM. OF COURSE NOW, IN NEW YORK AND VIRGINIA THEY HAVE APPROVED INFANTICIDE. How can a Christian vote for any Democrat, whose platform supports same sex marriage? That is support for past, present and future legal sin. On the other hand, Trump is new Christian. Like King David, he has had need to repent for his sin. He is now hidden in the identity of Jesus. He is washed in Jesus blood. He has been redeemed from the hand of the enemy. He is a new creature in Christ. He is accepted in the beloved BUT ROSA IS STILL FOCUSING ON HIS SIN AND PAST LIFE that JESUS PAID FOR. Rosa has a different rule book. What Jesus sacrificed on the cross was not sufficient, in Rosa’s mind, to forgive Donald Trump. Rosa, do you not know that when you take a heart felt Communion that you ARE SANCTIFIED JUST AS THOUGH YOU HAVE NEVER SINNED. His mercy is fresh each morning. I feel I know what church you are affiliated with, by your keeping account of another person’s sin.

          Actually… Jesus forgave us and said “Now go and sin no more.” Trump has continued to sin and brag about his sins daily. I’d also suggest that you look up what a late-term abortion actually is and when it is medically used. It’s not just a “I’ve decided I don’t want my baby.” It’s only used to save the life of the mother or when the child is already dead in the womb. Anyone who would want to force a woman to carry her dead baby for months is the true monster if you wouldn’t force someone to keep a cancerous tumor until a certain number of months have expired. In both cases, it could kill the would-be mother. Personally, I’m not sure how any Christian can look in the mirror and confidently tell themselves that God would approve of their support for someone their savior specifically warned against.

          Willful Late term abortion, has nothing to do with the unfortunate loss of a baby in the womb. I know first hand of the grief of such a loss. Obviously, you are in the same camp of deception as Rosa. It is foolishness to reason with the spirit of deception, so this ends the conversation.

          November 22, 2019

          He has not been redeemed, as he does not need forgiveness, because he is the Son of Satan. Trump continues to sin. He is being impeached for many sins and crimes. Where in the Bible does it say we were called to legislate sin? That is God’s job, not some imperfect Christians, who support the worst evil leader, since Hitler. Many Christians thought Hitler was sent from God, but in the end he too proved himself to be the son of Satan. The majority of the church has never learned that other people’s sins are not there business. How we vote doesn’t affect our salvation, but those who follow the man of lawlessness, will be punished and rejected. The church is full of men and Pastors, who worship Jezabel with child molestation, adultery and sexual sin. Shall we pass laws that any man performing such acts have their most prized possession removed, so they can’t rape and harm woman and children?

        It is amazing you spent so much time in prayer and are so blind. Abortion is a sin and being gay is a sin, but the sin of blindly worshiping the Devil Trump will stop you from getting into Heaven or getting raptured. Matthew 20 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ Trump, no matter what poisonous apple, he serves up to the church, is the man of lawlessness. He values no laws, when it comes to himself, but wants to pass laws that control and restrict others. People, like yourself are part of the fallen church which is prophesied in Matthew 24: 9 Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations on account of My name. 10 At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another, 11 and many false prophets will arise and mislead many.… Those false prophets are leaders, like yourself, that have fallen for the deceptions of Satan, instead of lifting up Christ. When 80% of God’s Church follows and worships the Beast and his principles, instead of worshiping Christ and his principles, that is a great falling away and must break God’s heart to see His Church be so easily fooled by the biggest fool.

        God gives us free choice and between the foolish of America, Putin and cheating, we have Trump. God allowed Trump to be President to test America, but most importantly His Church. They failed miserably and now we all have to live with God’s punishment, with end times brutality. I prefer to be in the narrow path of the 20% of Christians, who did not mark the ballot of the beast, but kept our eyes on Jesus instead for everything, instead of an evil man.

      “God did not choose Trump, the electoral college did and God did not speak to those voters.” Deliberation over whether or not Trump is a good POTUS will stumble and fall if the doctrines of DIVINE PROVIDENCE, THE ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD, and THE UTTER AND TOTAL DEPRAVITY OF MANKINDS are not believed . . . .

      Do you know the story of David in the bible? How about Paul? GOD does not call the equipped; He equips the called. How about the story of the Pharisees who wanted Jesus to agree that the prostitute woman should be stoned to death, as was their custom? Jesus told them that whoever is without sin should cast the first stone. Would you cast the stone against another sinner?

    My thought is that I don’t think anyone is calling Trump a godly man. However can God use the ungodly? Yes, he already has. Read Isaiah 44:28, and 45: 1-5 where he used Cyrus and called him “my shepherd”. Also Jeremiah 25:9 where He used the pagan king Nebuchadnezzar for His purpose. Certainly in these last days God is still working and in control. Don’t forget all the low life that is in genealogy of Christ.

    Satan deceived the church into thinking Trump was “chosen”, just as foretold in scriptures. God gave us a choice to embrace Him and His teachings and be raptured or entrance into Heaven; or follow the demon Trump straight to Hell. God tested His Church and they failed miserably by supporting the man of lawlessness.

God has appointed President Trump to be the President of the United States for such a time as this. There is no doubt in my mind. I voted for him because God confirmed His word to me that he was the “SET ManJ”. I thank the Lord all the times for answering the fervent prayer of the righteous avails much. I will vote for him again in November 2020. To God be the glory.

    Trump is no answer to prayer. I received confirmation in my spirit that he would be horrible as well as a horrible example to the world. He has lied over 10,000 times, he uses profanity, he belittles world leaders and countries, he is self-centered and shows no Christian actions toward others, especially women and non-white people. I pray for our country FROM this indecent, decadent, liar and con. God judges the heart of the man, not his policies. Trump is a total embarrassment as well as prevailing hate and division.

President Trump is not perfect by any means, but God has used people who were worse as described in he bible…We are all sinners and have done things we are not proud of…we can not judge another sinner we will be judged by God in the same manner..If you do not support the President then you are supporting those who advocate abortion up to and past birth…you are supporting things that God has called out… where does that place you in God’s eyes…and let he who has no sin cast the first stone…and stop watching MSM..satan is at work trying to take down God and this country..satan will use whatever means is necessary…beware of whose voice is telling you these things..

        Again, God does not appoint those in power. Since the first time, the people asked for a king rather than to be only under God, People have voted or overthrown governments to decide the leaders. God did and does give us free will and that’s why we have the worst president and worst world leaders. We receive what we sow.

        I do not watch msn or cnn. I am not influenced by the media at all. I pray and ask for guidance and direction as we all should. Not supporting Trump is not support for anyone who advocates abortion. That’s a poor assumption on your part. I can only keep praying for our country and the believers who can still make a difference.

        God also tests his people and gives them evil leaders as a punishment for their sins. Certainly, turning your back on Jesus and supporting the Devil Trump, is the only sin one can lose his salvation over. All of us are sinners, no worse than the other, so why judge those who are gay or has an abortion worse than your own private sins. One can be against the sin, but not the sinner, except for those, who worship the beast. Revelation 14:9 And a third angel followed them, calling out in loud a voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives its mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he too will drink the wine of God’s anger, poured undiluted into the cup of His wrath. And he will be tormented in fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. When “Christians marked” their ballots and hearts with the demonic Trump, they will be judged harshly for that sin. God is against murder, but he is also against the in humane and evil we allow on our borders. Where’s the outrage for living children? The reason so many of God’s church has fallen, because they only watch FOX. They along with Republicans are the biggest frauds on television. They only preach what ignorance loves. They have not reported at all about the impeachment. It was built by perverts and supports the pervert in chief blindly, as it perpetrates the lies of the Devil Trump. Try watching the professionals in MSM, you may learn something that could save your soul. You are right Satan is working overtime to deceive God’s chosen FOX to do it. Better than television read the Bible. It’s all in there for you to read, once you reject the blinders Trump and his demons have put on you.

      God raised Trump up for “such a time as this.” He is still human. We can’t begin to know what goes on in his heart and it’s our responsibility to pray for him. We can’t judge his heart. God is at work in him and through him and we are to keep our eyes on Jesus. Trump isn’t as stupid as he allows us to see in his reactions. He is the most abused President in history and God is using him to fight for our freedom to worship Jesus. Remember the left, the media and Satan are against this man whom God chose to lead our country. Open your eyes to see if Democrats win then our country will no longer be what God intended it to be from the beginning. We are each to take the log out of our own eye first. I encourage you to quit listening to the lies of the media through Satan. Fast and pray and ask God how he sees Trump and why He placed him in this position. God have mercy on us all.

        God sent the Devil Trump to test His church to see if you can recognize the Beat and reject him. God lays out clearly what happens to believers, who follow the man of lawlessness. No President has ever been so lawless as Trump. Trump show he has no heart or soul to judge and it is okay to judge the evil one and those who follow. It is the only time Jesus judges His church. Matthew 7:21 says “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Jesus is talking to the church, not sinners. So, who is the man of lawlessness? Trump! Who are those the Lord turns away? Not the remnant church of 20%, but the fallen church of many, the other 80%. The word says in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a great falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;. The 80% is a great falling away, while 20% is a remnant church. In the parables, half are left and half are taken. That Lord wants the remnant to work hard to save the other 30% to fulfill prophecy. Turn your back on the Devil Trump and turn back to Jesus, before it is too late.

          Ponder God’s word: “You shall NOT speak evil of the rule of thy people.”

          As I said, you probably won’t repent, because you feel “justified” in your criticism of the ruler of our people whom you have never met. It’s easy to throw stones others have provided you and feel like you’re justified. You, however, are not.

        When it came to evil and hypocritical leaders, Jesus made His point aggressively. Matthew 23:13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you lock people out of the kingdom of heaven. For you do not go in yourselves, and when others are going in, you stop them. 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cross sea and land to make a single convert, and you make the new convert twice as much a child of hell as yourselves. Leaders of Trump’s “Christian Cult are like those pharisees and when we are battling for the soul of America against a powerful, self-dealing corrupt leader, like Trump, who abuses all things decent with his vulgar and degrading words, ALL Christians should speak out, instead of bowing down and doing Trump’s evil bidding!

    I agree. We are also praying for him diligently. Unfortunately, many of the body of Christ are not praying. Then there is another group ho call themselves Christians that are praying against him. In the name of Jesus and by the authority of the name of Jesus, I cut off all soulish prayers. I cut off prayers contrary to the will of God. I cut off all prayers not initiated by he Holy Spirit. I cast to the ground void, all words spoken and written that are not supporting God’s agenda for President Trump. I send the curse back on the sender. We cast down vane imaginations and every high thing that prevails itself against the knowledge of God. God bless and strengthen our President Trump. Give him Your wisdom, sweetly entreated from above. Give him the mind of Christ and Your strategies to defeat the enemy. Glory to God

Father, may we have unity again as we confess our sins as a nation in support of actions of its citizens that are abominable in Your eyes. Father, give us Your eyes to see this nation as You do for judgement comes to those not standing for righteousness. You know our hearts and true motive and please burden our hearts for this sins of judgement against our brothers and sisters, as You will be our judge, one day as every knee shall bow to the One True King, our Glorious Savior Christ Jesus and in His name alone we pray, amen

      Sounds good, only for the wrong side. Jesus speaks of Christians, like yourself, who claim to love Jesus, but support the Devil’s agenda. There is no good in Trump. He reminds us every day, with every action and word that he is not of Christ. Jesus knew the majority of Christians would fall away from the truth, because they looked to the Devil Trump instead. Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ I send no curses to any lost Christians. Quit relying on the false prophets of the church. Rely instead on the Word. It will set you free from the twisted religiosity of Trump’s Cult. Time is indeed short for true repentance.

    God allowed Saran to test His Church using Trump. Before the rapture, the Bible tells us there will be a great falling away and that half the Christians will be raptured and the other half left behind. He did the same with Job, Sodom and Gomorrah and Noah. God has tested His creation from the beginning. Trying to replace self-centeredness with righteousness, only to have the modern day Laodecian Church turn their back on Him and embracing lies gleefully, while hatefully rejecting the truth with apathy. That is why Trump “Christians” don’t want to hear the truth and hide behind their apathy. Revalation 3:17 has this to say about the end times church, especially those who think Trump making America rich …17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, white garments so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness not exposed, and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. 19 Those I love, I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent.…

It is evident that God has placed President Donald J. Trump in the highest office in the land for His Kingdom purposes. He is as a Cyrus of old. Even Netanyahu has mentioned this amazing similarity. As in the time of Daniel, God will set up whomever He chooses to carry forth His plan; all the days of Earth are, in fact, His Story. May God have His way in spite of the attempts to pervert our laws, ignore our Constitution, attack men and women of character, of Christian faith, call right wrong, and wrong right, dismiss God from the foundation of every area of our culture….God is Mighty to keep this President as he stands for the people of this country, and fights for America’s sovereignty under the Sovereign God. As we agree in prayer, the darkness must flea and God will be victorious through the blood of Jesus Christ….His powerful blood, His wonderful Name.

    Perfect example of the demonic veil Satan has pulled over the Church’s eyes. Trump is not Cyrus or David. Some sin redeemed is much better, than continued sin and corruption by Trump, who remains unredeemed by his ongoing corruption, lawlessness and sin. Netanyahu is as corrupt as Trump and Rick Perry, who just blasphemed Jesus by calling Trump the chosen on. God has set up Trump to test His church to see who is worthy of being raptured or going to Heaven. The ones perverting our laws and destroying our Constitution are the lawless Republicans and the fallen church, professing to be God’s, while supporting a Godless man to lead the world and our Nation to Hell. God will be victorious, but those Christians, who have marked their hearts with Trump, will be denied access to all of God has in store for us.

From the first day in office, the Trump administration took definitive steps to curtail the advancements of the LGBT community by dismantling rights and privileges afforded them under the previous administration.

Would have written this differently: “…took definitive steps to curtail the promotion of the LGBT life-style by dismantling the special rights and privileges gifted to political activist by the previous administration.”

Maybe I’m nitpicking, but the word “community” conveys a strong sense of comradery among people struggling with sexual identity. They deserve our love and compassion, but not affirmation of their dystopian identity.

I have believed since Mr Trump won the Republican nomination, that Father’s hand was in the midst of this nomination. I went through a soul searching when my candidate was not nominated. However, it was either Mr Trump or Ms Hillary.

Isaiah 44:24 prophecies, “Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, and the One who formed you from the womb”… And in v.28 “It is I who says of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, he shall perform all my desire: And he declares of Jerusalem, She will be built; And of the temple, Your foundation shall be built.

The book of Ezra shows us that Cyrus, King of Persia, fulfills Isaiahs prophecy, many years later. Daniel fasts and prays, Gabriel us dispatched from the Throneroom of God and fights the Principality of Persia 21 days to deliver God’s response….

In all this, the church can, at the very least, see President Trump as King Cyrus, hand picked and anointed to carry out God’s will for our nation in this hour. Yet, the Presudent needs Nehemiahs, Daniel’s, Ezras, Zadoks, who have not bowed the knee to the spirits if the age, fasting & praying, aligning with Heavens choices. “Eye has not seen nor ear has not heard…..now Zeal of the Lord is an interesting Word. Zeal is a heard of Zebras. Their combined stripes make it impossible for their enemy to see a single zebra, thus cloaking them. When the run together as one unit they are safe. Can zeal be applied to what God is doing for our nation, church, and for His Kingdom through President Trump?

What does God say to Zerrubabel? Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord of Hosts! I am confident that many of Israel taken into the Babylonian captivity could not embrace Cyrus as their Redeemer and chose not to return, thus the census of those returning in Ezra. A memorial to Faith in that time. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Unity in the Body of Christ gives birth to ZEAL! May God draw us unto His Intercession, so together we can rob hell to populate heaven, redeeming the time for the days are evil.

      December 3, 2019

      Thank you for your reply.

      Blasphemy is an interesting view of Trump the man.

      Many pray for God to intervene for our nation. The analogy of Cyrus is not solely mine, yet Isaiah prophecies this before the Babylonian Captivity, and years before Cyrus rises to power. A heathen King the Deliverer of Israel, go figure? President Trump, the answer to Americas problems? Go figure.

      Yeah, I knee jerk at some of his comments….yet he is setting things aright, exposing and draining the swamp of beaurocrats, etc. and issues that have festered far too long.

      We do not know each other, or the circles of Faith in which we walk. If America can survive the deceptive and alluring plans of Progressives remains to be seen.

      Personally, there is a bigger battle going on, where God appoints Kings and Presidents. Prayer is the church’s ability to participate in bringing Gods Kingdom to earth, good or bad King. Satan loves to divide and conquer, very effective I’d say.

        December 4, 2019

        Having a knee jerk is the Holy Spirit telling you, what he says and does is wrong and against Jesus’s principles. As we chat, an impeachment hearing is happening. I have watched all of it and found FOX lacking in coverage, while MSM is not on enough to cover all of the corruption and lies Trump commits everyday. For a news junkie, with a background in Journalism, there is more that enough proof to impeach Trump. Trump makes all other impeached cases look, like nothing, compared to the amount of crimes and lies committed. It is funny anyone would think Trump is cleaning up the swamp, when you look at the 10,000 lies he’s told and the criminals he hangs out with and dictators, he bows too. Trump went in and expanded the swamp. Many of those swamp creatures quit, because the swamp was too nasty under Trump, other loyalists were thrown out of the swamp, because they wouldn’t loyally wallow in the BS accumulating in Trump’s swamp. Others of Trump’s “best people” are in prison for doing Trump’s crimes. He has turned over 80% of his staff, ruining their life’s and reputations forever. Jesus was the first socialist or progressive. His words on Sermon on the Mount and Beatitudes tell us what Jesus wants and expects from the church. That the majority of the church has turned their back on Jesus’s teachings to follow Trump, must upset Him enough to turn His back on the fallen Christians, who follow the man of lawlessness. You are right Satan does love to divide and conquer and NO ONE is better at it than Trump and the Republicans, who dishonor themselves by blindly serving the Devil Trump. Proverbs 4:27 tells us, “Look neither right nor left; leave evil in the dust.” We are to look to God, not right or left and leave evil in the dust. Trump is pure evil to support him is a sin too much for God to bear.Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Jesus is talking to the church, not sinners. If Trump is the man of lawlessness, than your soul and salvation are in danger. Will you ruin your walk to walk with the Beast Trump?

          Hello again, Pat!
          I can see you have a high disregard for President Trump, and see his activity, presence, as an evil that needs to be eradicated. My knee jerk is a response to of his Rhetoric to be sure, whether it is the source of all derision or decisiveness in the country I doubt it, he does seem to expose the motives or agendas of many.

          Jesus us the Son if Man/Son of God, not Progressive, socialist, communist, Democrats, Republican, independent, etc.
          I, like yourself, am looking for the Kingdom of God in my time. I am concerned that there are many forces at work to distract the Church from Jesus.
          I appreciate your many years as a journalist, and devotion to these hearings. I was a high school teacher in the public schools, in a H.S. of 5,000 with 93% Latino. I witnessed Democratic policies filter down to the street. All with good intentions, not all effective. I always lean to caution and conservative views.
          In the present state
          if the church and our nation, I recall the scripture, “I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”
          Luke 18:8 NASB

However, over the years, I notice people, who have no good response will often try to pick on the person and writing, as a way to avoid the truth. Just as in the impeachment hearings, Republicans and FOX attacked witnesses and make up stuff to bicker about, just to avoid the facts that Trump is the most corrupt President ever and if he is not impeached the world will end, and it will be because the church turned their back on Jesus to worship the Beast Trump.

          Arthritis!, no picnic. I am sad you have to live with that, our good friend of 42 years has Rheumatoid Arthritis and it is very crippling. In fact my wife just went over to wash her hair as she is in rehab and needs assistance in many things.

          I find that I have to sort through the rhetoric and get to the heart of God in what I see in Washington. Honestly, I get tired of all the “spins” in the news and have to remember that God, and revelation in His word will win the day, He still is on the throne of Heaven last time I checked scripture. I sincerely pray God gives us all a respite and be rejuvenated in Him.

          Our church studied Romans for three years, and now have been on Luke this year, which we studied off and on over the past forty years. Romans, some commentators say, is the most important NT book, gets to the motives of the heart and how to live out our lives in Christ and as the Church. We have been looking at Jesus as a High Priest this time around in Luke, with time in Hebrews where Paul reveals Jesus priestly office over the church according to the Order of Melchizedek. Paul, a Jew, sent to the Gentiles, writing to the Hebrew Christians, has a revelation of Jesus. A lot more than scales came off his eyes that day in Damascus!

          Pat, my hope is in Jesus and am sure He hears all our prayers for our country, and can sort things out, if we’d let Him. I too pray for the Church, asleep in the Light, perhaps, but I can see that IFA is drawing out Intercessors to hear the heart and cries of God.

          God Bless you today and your family!

        Nice to meet you Ron. Our sins of our youth do seem to creep upon us in physical and spiritual ways starting in our 60’s. Aches, pains, illnesses remind us constantly the time is close, no matter what faith. I was saved in Costa Mesa Calvary Chapel, in 1971. Needed badly after years of abuse by men and the feeling that I was unwanted from birth, with no real right to life. In my spirit, I think I knew I was better where I was at in Jesus arms, then where I was going. As I sprung from my mother’s womb, with my cord wrapped around my neck only reinforced the idea that I had no right to breath. Over the years, since being saved and with the help of psychologist and the right medication for the trauma of my youth, I an at peace finally. I know who I am in the Lord and look only to them. The church has never been a place for me, no matter where I went. I found such hypocrisy, hate of others and judgement of everyone else, it pushed me away and caused me to back slide in disappointment of the church. The church’s hypocritical, blind and Godless support of Trump has only reinforced the failure of the church. Pedophile priests, adulterous, power and money hungry “leaders” of our church has only proven to me that the church is fallen and is the Laodecia church of the end times. The Lord has called me to deliver this message, in my small capacity trying to reach the deceived church starting with the false prophets supporting Trump. Interestingly the town I live in was called Laodecia back in the 1800’s and happens to be exactly like its name of old. Nice talking to you!

          Pat,
          LOL! I said the same thing once I turned 60! What happened! A latent chromosome appeared out of nowhere! Triggered by Social Security and Medicare perhaps!

          Like Paul, I have my thorns which also say “My grace is sufficient for you, Ron” When my heart is aligned with “He must increase and I must decrease”, there is calm and peace. Pressing in to Him is the cross carried daily. Sounds curt at times, yet still, very true. Father wants me to constantly give those “past events and sins” up to Him. (Walking in the Light) so the blood of Jesus can cleanse me of all unrighteousness.

          My salvation experience was more of a process, than a single event. Saved at a bible study in College, 1971-2, during the height of the Jesus Movement and the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. A wide net was cast across our campus. It took awhile to realize that it was more than joining the club and paying weekly dues, He was after every area of my life. Lordship, in that sense, took place in 1978. The Cross took on a whole new meaning.”My Heart Christ’s Home” is a good book which nailed Discipleship for me.

          Married my wife, we both met teaching, in December 1978. This Monday is our 41st Anniversary. We both had rejection in our lives, some real, some self-imposed. When following Jesus we discovered how much it takes two to tango, I was one who loved to shift blame and not take ownership to my part. Pressing in to Him and having open fellowship with like minded followers has helped us to move closer to the Father’s heart.

          We have belonged to the same church our whole marriage. Birthed out of the Jesus movement, many of us were churched, at least half Catholic, yet disillusioned until the r4al Jesus appeared. I began to fellowship there in 1974. Our Core members carried a desire to follow the Lord with our whole lives. Non-denominational, covenant in our relationships, we consider ourselves Family. We have no children. But Jesus has given us family, children, grandchildren, made us uncle and aunt to many.

          We work with International Organizations such as Joni & Friends for disabilities, Leadership Resources for Training National Church Leaders, Youth With a Mission and others. Our families have adopted children from Africa, China, Viet Nam, along with those with disabilities, two with autism. We send teams out for missionary support work as the Lord leads. My wife and I support our military through Disabled American Veterans,. World Vision children, The Williamsburg Foundation, Angel Tree/Prison Fellowship, and others.

          I am grateful that you have found peace from all the extra baggage. Those scars can dog us for years, but God can also use them for good. Once on the other side of grace, He can use us to help others. May your life be salted with mercy and grace. I love the analogy of the “Bruised Reed” and the “Flickering Wick”. Jesus come to straighten the one and make it strong again while blowing on the other to create a blaze of passion for Him.

          God Bless you and your Family, and Merry Christmas!

Dear Abba, Thank you for the great gift of America, the sacrifices the Founding Fathers and believers in you (Providence, Creator) made for our freedoms via the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Thank you Yeshua for the gift of salvation and the soldiers who shed their blood and died for our great freedoms. I ask that Your will be done, as King of Kings, to overcome the assignments of the devil against our nation, that the anti Christ pawns of evil, the atheists, deceived new agers, immoral pro abortionists, the rebellious anti traditional family radicals, the anti economic freedom socialists, liberal media liars…have their eyes opened to Your Biblical Truths and values, may they be saved. Thank You Holy Spi-rit for Your wis-dom, comfort and sweet leading in the midst of this crazy broken world. Thank you Holy Trinity for Presi-dent Trump, the moral people in his cabinet, the good patriotic conser-vative Congress- persons who love You and honor Your Word’s (the Bible) precepts. I ask for Your protection, direction and their re-election. I ask for revival in our great nation, have mercy on us. May citizens respect our laws. May the gift of free speech be honored, and the companies dissing conservatives stop or their blatant actions be addres-sed via laws and fines. May those who intentionally harm citizens be punished. Let jus-tice prevail. Amen.

    You forgot the Trump “Christian” Cult, the pedophile priests and adulterous Pastors, false prophets of Trump, like Franklin Graham leading the fallen church astray, the bigots and haters, who follow Trump blindly. Trump’s cabinet has all quit or was fired, because they weren’t corrupt enough and pledged their ;loyalty to the United States, instead of one corrupt President. His friends and associates reside in prison for that loyalty. The unpatriotic political supporters of Trump are making our founding fathers roll over in their grave at how Trump has dismantled and dishonored the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Democracy. That is why he is being impeached. He has committed Bribery, treason, extortion and high crimes and misdemeanors. You would know this is you would watch MSM and quit watching the demonic driven FOX. Perverted holdovers from the days of Nixon is who built FOX. Dish FOX,and pick up a Bible. All of your Holy prayers of superiority will not stop God’s judgement for those that follow the Devil Trump.

Father, we thank you for raising up this man, this Cyrus, to push back against the anti-Christian forces sweeping our nation. We praise you for the righteous policies that he has pursued. Would you continue to bring light to the darkness and to the schemes of those who seek to falsely accuse and destroy this president. We pray that you would continue to guide and protect him. Give him your wisdom in every situation. May he be as wise a serpent and as innocent as a dove, seeking the good of all Americans. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Most importantly we support President Trump because he has been anointed by God specifically for this time in history.

Of course, I completely support this President. I was wondering…who are the spiritual councilors that help Mr. Trump.
