The Republican Party adopted a platform that is very different from previous platforms. Former member of the RNC platform Cynthia Dunbar offers this commentary.
An anecdotal painting of my life and its political journey is essential to cast the best vision for this oped. To say that I was thrown into the deep end of the pool of all things political since my birth is, quite frankly, not hyperbole. No, I do not hail from a family of Kennedys. However, my father was a Senator, and my mother was a Judge. So, I will give you a second to imagine dinner-time conversations in my household. My parents met when my mother was a bill drafter for the legislature and my father was a junior representative, and they were married in the rotunda of our state capital. Are you starting to get the picture?
I had a front-row seat to all things political throughout my childhood. My parents were both “conservative Republicans” before the phrase had even been coined. My father once told me he did not care who I married as long as they were a Christian and a Republican and that he perceived those went hand-in-hand. I saw them repeatedly fight for the implementation of godly principles into public policy, often battling “the powers that be” in both parties.
I witnessed many times when the attacks from within their party were as vicious and brutal as those from the outside by the Democratic party, if not more so. This gave me a bad taste in my mouth for the political spirit in general, but as a good Christian soldier, I had been trained that no matter how distasteful, disengaging from the war was not an option. So, I stayed engaged, even becoming a youth delegate when I was 16 to the RNC Convention in Detroit when we nominated Ronald Reagan.
Fast forward to adulthood, God opened doors for me to obtain my Law Degree from Regent University, where I was taught how to decipher civil laws through a biblical worldview. During this time, I served as the graduate assistant to the Dean of the Law School, who had studied directly under Francis Schaeffer at Swiss L’Abri. I felt blessed to have acquired what appeared to be a double degree in law in addition to political philosophy, kingdom jurisprudence, or what I like to refer to as God’s Heart for Government. Equipped with this knowledge as a weapon in the warfare of cultural ideology, I stepped boldly, yet timidly, onto the battlefield. I ran for office several times, ultimately winning some and losing some. I can state without equivocation that while winning is much more fun than losing, both can positively impact the world around us.
In my campaigns, as well as my elected offices, I suffered more than my fair share of character assassination and political carnage. Nothing to compare with that of President Trump’s attacks, but then again, I held the offices of Member of the TX State Board of Education and National Committeewoman of the RNC for VA, positions hardly worthy of international awareness and attack, and yet the attacks came. I wondered at the level of attention and attack that was unquestionably disparate to the level of positions that I held, and I came to one conclusion. The enemy we fight is not flesh and blood, and the principalities and powers of darkness in high places both fear and oppose the injection of truth into the public square with a vengeance. This efficacy has much more to do with how proactively one pushes back darkness than it has to do with the position of power one may hold within the systems of men.
So, where am I going with all of this? I have taken the time to paint the above picture to benefit those who might argue, “Well, you just don’t understand.” I do understand; I completely understand. I have spent a lifetime of political involvement, hoping and praying that someday the body of Christ would step into the realm of the political and engage. But now that we seemingly have, there is a pervasive problem within the Christian community of American politics today.
Piety towards alignment and getting in lockstep with the trending political narrative has become synonymous with godliness. If you in any way expose errors in either the principles or practices of that given narrative, the party historically, and now ironically, cast as the defender of liberty and unalienable rights of free speech has become the policing force to bring silence. Why? Well, because the party has been coopted as the mouthpiece for a singular campaign, and, after all, there must be a consensus of beliefs and alignment at all costs. There is neither time nor room for “dictates of conscience” in a world of chaos and contention. Scripted uniformity is implemented through control from the top down. Such hierarchal domination is foundationally in opposition to the biblical depiction of servant-leadership and anathema to the biblical declaration that, ultimately, every “Archy” will be brought low.
In short, we are witnessing the essential need for godly perspectives through a paradigm shift away from political piety and back toward principles. Please hear what I am saying, not what I am not saying. I am not advocating for a departure from being salt and light within politics and government. I am not saying God is not with a particular man or candidate. The God we serve loved the entirety of humanity enough to die for us, so undeniably, God is with him. And we must continue to pray for him.
None of that changes the fact that we somehow have lost our way and must shift our focus from a man and a party to the one true Messiah of the world who CAN save a nation in a day. Otherwise, a burden is placed upon a mortal man that is too heavy for anyone but Christ to bear. This, coupled with numerous other reasons, enables us to see the need to be focused on principles and policies more than personality and party. This need cannot be overemphasized.
I realize I have had the benefit of growing up watching my parents fight not for personalities but for principles, and I have always done the same. This focus is foundational to establishing proper perspectives. Too often in the political game, principles are the first victims to be sacrificed in the guise of a strategy to “win at all cost.” But we must see the bigger picture, for once we allow principles to be sacrificed, we have already lost them. Sadly, that is where we find ourselves today.
The polarization and character assassination that has become acceptable and synonymous with politics has indeed made winning the ultimate goal, bringing with it a Machiavellian mindset. Truth and doing what is right become dispensable casualties of war. Life is no longer unalienable. Family is no longer sacred or worth upholding. We desperately fight to win, but in a world where life and family are no longer valued, what have we won?
Meanwhile, we vilify our political opponents, who are not our true enemies, as we do not wrestle with flesh and blood. Instead, we should be praying for them. Jesus Christ on the cross exemplified the power of love eclipsing that of hate.
It is time for us to be reminded that in our never-ending pursuit of political victory without the presence and principles of God, the solutions we are advocating may be equally bad as the problems we already face.
We cannot Make America Great Again if America is not good. Unfortunately, the politics of the day have proven that we are not. That is why our perspective must shift to Jesus, and our prayers shift to “Make America Good Again.” It is in God, and God alone, that we must place our trust. So, may we declare with a clarion voice, “Let God Arise!”

Glorious Gracious Father, Creator of heaven and earth forgive my lack of involvement, for sleeping on my night watch, for cowering under the pressures of social norms and public policies. Forgive this nation for abandoning its stand for marriage as defined in Your word and for sacrificing our children at the hands of sex cult’s. Send Your clarion call to awake Your bride. No longer can we recreate while the enemy gathers to make plans for destruction. Turn our focus from the cares of life (seeds amount the tares) to the call to be salt and light in the earth. Call Your people to repentance, to turn and stand up for truth, to engage. I submit to Your counsel knowing that the nation that once upheld a covenant with You and Your people has abandoned its purpose for existence as depicted in Romans which say, “What is revealed is God’s anger from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people who in their wickedness keep suppressing the truth; because what is known about God is plain to them, since God has made it plain to them. For ever since the creation of the universe his invisible qualities — both his eternal power and his divine nature — have been clearly seen, because they can be understood from what he has made. Therefore, they have no excuse; because, although they know who God is, they do not glorify him as God or thank him. On the contrary, they have become futile in their thinking; and their undiscerning hearts have become darkened. Claiming to be wise, they have become fools! In fact, they have exchanged the glory of the immortal God for mere images, like a mortal human being, or like birds, animals or reptiles! This is why God has given them up to the vileness of their hearts’ lusts, to the shameful misuse of each other’s bodies. They have exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, by worshipping and serving created things, rather than the Creator — praised be he for ever. Amen. This is why God has given them up to degrading passions; so that their women exchange natural sexual relations for unnatural; and likewise the men, giving up natural relations with the opposite sex, burn with passion for one another, men committing shameful acts with other men and receiving in their own persons the penalty appropriate to their perversion. In other words, since they have not considered God worth knowing, God has given them up to worthless ways of thinking; so that they do improper things. They are filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and vice; stuffed with jealousy, murder, quarrelling, dishonesty and ill-will; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God; they are insolent, arrogant and boastful; they plan evil schemes; they disobey their parents; they are brainless, faithless, heartless and ruthless. They know well enough God’s righteous decree that people who do such things deserve to die; yet not only do they keep doing them, but they applaud others who do the same.”
Romans (Rom) 1:18-32 CJB

Fortify us with the faith of Abraham, “For even though he was past hope he trusted that he would indeed become the father to many nations, in keeping with what he had been told.” Rom 4:18. As our nation is sacrificed on the altars of cults without our consent we join the hero’s of our faith who trusted GOD AS ONE WHO GIVES LIFE to the dead and call the nonexistent into existence. Abraham’s trust did not waiver… He received the promise based on trusting so that it may come as (Your) God’s free gift, a promise that is relied on by all the seed, not only those who live within the frame work of the law, but those with the kind of trust Abraham had. By trust he was given power as he gave glory to (YOU)God Rom 4.
We Put our hope in the Lord, He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let Your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in You alone. Ps 33:20-22In Jesus name. Amen
Cynthia….. Thank you for sharing your heart, experience and God-sent wisdom, Sis. I couldn’t agree with you more. Principles/Policies vs. Personalities/Character. We all need to be praying fervently for our leaders & for God to send Revival & Spiritual Awakening to America. Our Lord is our Only Hope for needed healing of our land. …..brother Thom 🙏 (1 Tim. 2, 2 Chron. 7:14)
The article was truly enlightening! America must be good before she can be great again. May God arise!
Yes! You’re right. As I listened to a political rally for ‘our’ side this week, I thought, “This is nothing but rhetoric.” Then I realized we’re just not good. The speaker and all of us. Make us good again, Lord.
Well said, Cynthia. May we never lose sight of the “forest” for the trees. We are, first and foremost, citizens of God’s kingdom. We submit to His authority and desire to follow Him as His Spirit leads. I join in your prayer: Make America good again. Amen!
Comments from Rees Howells in the chapter on Battle of Britain:
“The only thing I am afraid of is that I should miss God’s will. Many people are afraid of consequences. I must be clear on this point, for God says, ‘If it is the consequences you are afraid of, don’t come to Me for protection.’ There is a great difference between a selfish fear of consequences and wanting God’s protection because you have a work to carry out for Him. Have you really got victory?”
Are we praying for a Trump victory to protect our lifestyle or to guard global peace so that gospel doors remain open? How do we purify our politics when the Church remains so self centered? Putting the cart before the horse is a fruitless strategy.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and your thoughts on where we are today. I agree with much of what was written. However, I disagree with your emphasis on the Republican party platform and MAGA. The truth is the body of Christ has ceded ground of the culture in America to the enemy, over decades. It will take time, intention and effort to change that. We do not live by the dictates of a party platform. Its not an oath we are required to swear fidelity to. We live by the Word of God. Finally. MAGA is an economic mantra created by a businessman. If the red hat triggers offense in you, that is a heart issue that should be taken to the Lord.
This is excellent! Thank you so much.
Thank You Cynthia for your thoughtful and timely missive. What is going on is so way above politics, as our Nation is in a Spiritual Battle for its very soul. The citizens of this Nation need to go to the highest possible place with our cry; bypassing the politicians and come together in asking the LORD for HIS ALMIGHTY help to get out of this mess that “We the People” have placed ourselves. The only true way to do that is through PRAYER; asking for help from the ONE who stated that HE is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE!! I know HE is guiding us now, but if we just come together as a people to leverage our PRAYERS, I believe HE will deliver us into something greater than we have seen in our lifetimes using the time, talents, or treasures of HIS people that HE has given each one of us for HIS GLORY. We just need to come together in PRAYER and ask HIM. If we join together in those PRAYERS, I believe HE will show us before we vote who HE wants for HIS reasons and purposes to lead us. I TRUST in HIS ALMIGHTY guidance. It is through one dramatic event and the after effects that HE has shown me who some of those folks already are!! What incredible perfect leadership, when you really go ALL THE WAY to the TOP in PRAYER, and ask for HELP!!
I was impressed to see this article on ifa, I found it refreshing and very well done by Cynthia. This really brought to light for me the fact there truly are good Christians that occasionally run for political office that are going to give voters a candidate with a Biblical perspective as a better option. I may be printing copies to my Christian brothers and sisters when they are becoming overwhelmed as this Presidental cycle of campaigning heats uo. Thank you again ifa for what I consider a great article on political activism and a great time to release it. Bob T
Cynthia, thank you for a powerful writting. I agree with you, “Look to the hills from where comes our help” We must learn to love and stand strong on our faith for it is God who will give us what we need, may we seek His face and not His hand and strive to walk it out . God id our refuge and our strength in all kinds of troubles. ” Thank you so very much for this article. To God be the glory and honor. Lord bless you as you do the work you are called to do. and I shall do same.
For someone like me who’s parents were completely non-political. I would like you to write more about step by step actions that can be taken to be involved in a meaningful way to be salt and light in the political realm.
Thank you for expressing the heart of the matter with piercing truth. I agree we must follow through the way Jesus has taught us to fight in the spirit against the intense strategies of the true enemy.
I wholeheartedly agree with Cynthia’s sentiments and views.. This was well written. It would be nice to have a little more practical steps. I have been contemplating how exactly to respond. Leaving the Republican party has definitely been an option. I would do it after the election, but it does make me want to separate myself from them. We have definitely lost our way and the original intent our founding fathers had. If I don’t leave the party, then what are my options to fight back? It’s sad we have to fight our own party. So having some practical ideas would be helpful.
Excellent reminder that we must stand on principles first and put our trust in God. I want to share this will all my friends, both liberal and conservative.
Yes! As DeTouqville declared early in American history, “America is great because America is good.” He came to the view not by listening to political speeches, but by visiting churches and hearing fiery, Spirit-led pastors preaching God’s Word. God is good—all good, and He is our All in All. Believers can pray a MAGA move of God—Make America Good Again.
Thank you for reminding us not only of our responsibility as Christians, but also of the importance of godly principles and that Jesus is Lord over all !
This weeks update got me re-evaluating.things.. Can’t think.of anything wrong with MAGA as a political slogan. Also think most American Christians are probably praying MAHA which is make America humble again. I’ll let the theologians kick that around and stop right here.
AMEN ! AMEN! AMEN!!
We must trust in our Heavenly Father alone. We must have supernatural intervention. We fight for our nation but much more importantly we fight for the Kingdom that cannot be shaken.
I agree with this article. I tried to warn my friends not to make Trump a god to be worshipped. He’s a man and is under God’s guidance when he serves. You cannot put your trust in an earthly ruler. The Israelites and everyone sine them has chosen to make gods of everything in violation of the first commandment. We must remember that this is God’s world and he is in charge. Pray that he will grant our petitions for a man who will serve Him and us as He intends but do not try to make man your God.
This is an excellent article, Cynthia. It so clearly indicates that we need to turn back to Jesus in this nation. I pray for the spiritual climate in this nation, as this is what is the crux of the issue. As Christians, we have a solemn responsibility to take authority over ALL of the evil spirits that are influencing and taking people hostage in our society. This is the main issue in America today. When something is happening in the natural, you can bet that something much bigger is going on in the supernatural . Right now, in the mighty name of Jesus, I take authority over the demons who have perpetrated evil, ungodly influence in our society. I drop the sword of the Spirit upon the head of Leviathan, ungodly evil spirits, deception, and apostasy. Thank You Jesus. Satan, you are a loser and a liar! Go back to hell where you belong!
LORD, Thank You for leaders that are dedicated to YOU. Judges, Congressmen, and Governors. Please give them wisdom and discernment to overcome the evil that has penetrated all levels of authority in this nation.
I am ashamed of how Bibi Netanyahu was treated, Give him courage and strength as You did Joshua, his battle is too great!
May TRUTH reign over our nation. In the mighty Name of Jesus, I pray AMEN
I agree and will pray as such. What a excellent perspective.
Let God arise and the spiritual enemies be scattered. Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father .
She is right
Striking the biblical definition of marriage Disenfranchises God from our platform. “What is revealed is God’s anger from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people who in their wickedness keep suppressing the truth; because what is known about God is plain to them, since God has made it plain to them. For ever since the creation of the universe his invisible qualities — both his eternal power and his divine nature — have been clearly seen, because they can be understood from what he has made. Therefore, they have no excuse; because, although they know who God is, they do not glorify him as God or thank him. On the contrary, they have become futile in their thinking; and their undiscerning hearts have become darkened. Claiming to be wise, they have become fools! In fact, they have exchanged the glory of the immortal God for mere images, like a mortal human being, or like birds, animals or reptiles! This is why God has given them up to the vileness of their hearts’ lusts, to the shameful misuse of each other’s bodies. They have exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, by worshipping and serving created things, rather than the Creator — praised be he for ever. Amen. This is why God has given them up to degrading passions; so that their women exchange natural sexual relations for unnatural; and likewise the men, giving up natural relations with the opposite sex, burn with passion for one another, men committing shameful acts with other men and receiving in their own persons the penalty appropriate to their perversion. In other words, since they have not considered God worth knowing, God has given them up to worthless ways of thinking; so that they do improper things.

They know well enough God’s righteous decree that people who do such things deserve to die; yet not only do they keep doing them, but they applaud others who do the same.”
Romans (Rom) 1:18-32 CJB

We cannot win a moral battle with compromise. Compromise is what edged us into this postmodern Marxist era like a frog in warm water. Without someone holding the line society continues down the path of self destruction becoming more and more desensitized by the depravity. Compromise leads to more compromise as society accepts more degradation to a point that the basic fabric of society which is the family unit where marriage is no longer defined between a man and a woman. Any union other than the union God has defined for mankind is aberrant and sterile for the purpose of fulfilling Gods first commandment and therefore unfit for procreation. In this case, we can no longer fulfill God’s first command to go forth and multiply. We have set ourselves up to be a people without a future, having no platform to sets forth the biblical definition of marriage. Never in our nations history have we completely abandoned Gods design for marriage. How can God honor us unless we first honor Him?
Profound words of wisdom with much experience.
I am in total agreement.
In this election year we are not voting for a perfect man but one I believe chosen by God. Trump cannot save our country only our repentance which brings about a revival will. We must pray for his safety, for this election cycle around our country, and for eyes to be open to the deception. Most importantly we must pray for the church to wake up out of complacency. Jesus did not tell us to be church goers and have a nice life but to heal the sick, preach the gospel and make disciples. It is more and more apparent we are fighting for the spiritual life of our country and our posterity. Let’s not lose our focus because of a platform.
I wonder if we could make some signs – MAKE AMERICA GOOD AGAIN -Ben Carson mentioned in his speech about how our nation was good that ‘s why it is great. I PRAY WE GET BACK TO THAT.
How about
Make America Godly Again
Thank you. I agree with you. I continue to pray for all those in authority, those wanting to be in authority and for our country.
My MAGA shirt reads, “Make America Godly Again” which is my prayer as well.
My prayer for our nation is MAKE AMERICA HOLY AGAIN. Then it will be prosperous safe great successful and blessed with the favor of God.
Thank you for taking the time to explain your background and prospective. I could not agree more. The goal is to win God’s approval in everything we do so that one day we will hear His “Well Done.” Your suggestion to change MAGA to “Make America Good Again” is excellent. Only God is able to do that. Yet He is pleased to use each one of His children who know Him to accomplish it. We can know Him. In fact, we can know God better all the time. We will understand His ways and those principles if every day we ask God to help us understand as we read and seek to obey the Word of God, the Bible. If we are struggling to do what He asks of us, we can pray for His forgiveness and also ask for His help to want to and also to do or have the power to walk in His ways. He is so merciful and forgiving when our heart is loyal to Him i.e., will\ing to turn from our evil and pursue His ways.
May God bless you! And may God give many more Americans a heart to love Him. Then as a nation we can be good again.
So well put . Thank you, Ms. Dunbar for putting my thoughts into words. He (Jesus) has to come first. In the end nothing else will matter.
I thank God Most High for His Divine Wisdom, Understanding and Insight given to this intercessor who has shared this with us.. This article is in alignment with Proverb 2 and I pray we will “hear” what the Spirit is revealing.
I pray we will repent for any sinful attitudes, etc. and truly focus on The One True Messiah of the world who can save a nation in a day. Our relationship of love and obedience to The One True Living God is our most valuable relationship there is.
I pray we will indeed consider the candidate’s principles and policies more than their personality and party.
Well said, Sister Cynthia! “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.” (Pr. 25:11) Your testimony brings up so many great memories for me. I went to work for CBN in 1982 as a computer-programmer when I was 22, newly saved and newly Spirit-filled. What an amazing time to be working at the largest ministry in the world at that time. I called it “The Glory Days of CBN”. I soon had close friends who were students at Regent Univ. (CBNU back then) and was personally mentored by Jose Gonzalez, who was the first Hispanic graduate of the university and who went on to teach public policy there. I got involved with the Freedom Council PAC and was on the prayer team for Pat Robertson’s presidential campaign (’85-’86). I have seen the same forces at work, the same tensions between being church-minded vs. Kingdom-minded, etc. Your analysis of our current situation is spot on. I pray that many IFA readers take your message to heart and focus on the real source of answers for the USA — The Throne of God! Intercessory prayer is where the real action is, so to speak. Pastor Larry Lea once said, “If an intercessor was to get elected president of the USA, it would be a demotion.” And that we will “pray in” many more godly, Kingdom-minded leaders to run our government the way the Lord and our founding fathers originally intended. “The battle belongs to the LORD.”
Amen & Amen!
Then His people recalled the days of old, the days of Moses and His people- where is He who brought them through the sea, with the shepherd of His flock? Where is He who set His Holy Spirit among them, who sent His glorious arm of power to be at Moses right hand, who divided the waters before them, to gain for Himself everlasting renown, who led them through the depths? Like a horse in open country , they did not stumble; like cattle that go down to the plain, they were given rest by the Spirit of the Lord. This is how you guided your people to make for Yourself a glorious name
Some trust in chariots , some trust in horses , but we trust in the name of the Lord!
When we humble ourselves , pray and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways – then He will hear from heaven , forgive our sin and heal our land
AMEN and AMEN!
Amen!
Almighty God have mercy on the USA. Help our nation to humble itself and pray, turn from its wicked ways. Help our churches to preach courageously the uncompromising word of God. Help us win this spiritual warfare. Jesus is the answer to our nation’s woes. Revive us, O Lord!
I could not agree more. About 3 years ago the Lord gave me a design for a yard sign that reads, ” Jesus is King, He makes America Great”.
He impressed upon me to get it printed. I did. I passed them out to those who would place them in their yards. I even sent IFA a picture of me holding the sign.
We need Jesus. Only He can save the lost in America. America is great because it was reverence for Jesus and His ways that got us here. However, when our laws are changed from godly to ungodly laws, His hand of protection is removed . The vacuum is then filled with evil .
The only way to effectively get out of this mess is to humble ourselves & repent . Praying for His mercy and grace and a national move of Holy Spirit to wash over us and bring us back from the evil place we have landed as a nation.
2 Chronicles 7:14
I agree!! For years, years,years, our government, people have been deceiving, lying to the people of the US. We have allowed people to use money as a way to control the US.
Money is their god.
But I believe God’s children have been crying out day and night, night and day for Jesus to rule in America, also in the world. I believe that Jesus is moving now, actually He never stopped because His desire is for everyone to know Him as Lord and Savior.
But Jesus had trails and tribulations on earth and we will, too. Our people need to repent and turn from. Their wicked ways. We are praying for our nation, we are a nation created by God, under God’s authority. May Jesus move quickly, Holy Spirit, move quickly, in the US, to do , obey, God’s will, to give God all the glory and honor, and praise. In Jesus’s name I pray. Amen
Any area of life that a Christian abandons involvement becomes new territory of the enemy.
I remember when I was around 12 years of age (many decades ago) having an elderly woman in church tell me that good “Christians don’t get involved in politics.” I’ve come to understand that this statement came from the enemy camp (not that she was necessarily of that but had fallen for that lie.)
Other areas that have been abandoned by Christians that have had enormous impact are science and education. As the scientific community was taken over by men who declared there is no God and created their own god of evolution from billions of years of accidents (which science has actually unequivocally shown to be false yet they still deny it) it is taught as truth in our schools.
Now our children don’t know where they came from or who they are so it is much more difficult for them to find their way home and they remain lost and vulnerable to even more lies having not been taught the Truth.
I totally agree with all you have said here in this article. No one person can make America great again only God can do that and president Trump has voiced those words more than once!! Thank you and God Bless you.
Beware of false prophets and their empty words. Ronald Reagan was not the patriot that people believe; Ronald Reagan was a globalist and NAFTA was his pet project which he spoke to during a November 13, 1979 national broadcast announcing his presidential run for president in 1980. (https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/archives/speech/ronald-reagan-announcement-presidential-candidacy). Ronald Reagan was not the patriot that people believe and he did not hasten the collapse of the Soviet Union because it was imploding under its own weight and could not even provide basic necessities for its subjects which Reagan leveraged for corporate welfare to his cronies in the military industrial complex. Ronald Reagan was not the fiscal conservative people believe and he more than doubled the national debt, from $900 billion when entered office to more than $2 Trillion when he left, with corporate welfare to his cronies in the military industrial complex and tax breaks for the wealthy. Ronald Reagan was not the patriot that people believe and he funded and trained Al-Qaida while grossly misleading the public by falsely calling the “mujahadeen” (literally “holy warriors”) “freedom fighters”. Ronald Reagan was not the social conservative people believe and he signed into law the first no fault divorce while he was the Democratic governor of California. Beware of false prophets and their empty words.
I agree! Thank you for revealing the truth about
R.R. May Jesus move quickly in the US and may we become, one a nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and justice for all
Amen
Amen! You& you alone Lord God Almighty!🙏🇺🇸🙏✝️🙏
Thank you, Cynthia, for this Spirit-filled exhortation! Help us, Holy Spirit, to engage the mind of Christ that is in us. Oh God that You would rend the heavens and come down. We must do Your will Your way! Truly, America can’t be great again until America is good. And that cannot be without revival, spiritual awakening, and repentance. God help Your Church.
Wow this is a good kick in the rear America needs to hear and do a checkup from the heart up! We have lost our way. People are so fed up with the nastiness, character assassination, billion dollar industry called politics, I feel like throwing up every time I hear “destroying Democracy”. Ignorance abounds because the church left education to government. Left teaching morals and principle to gov too. These days, tickling ears on Sunday morning instead of stomping on our toes, is “worshiping”. “Let’s not offend” is the phrase more often heeded than “Thy Will be Done”. I could go on and on. We are in trouble. Man cannot save America. We need a Divine Intervention for her.
Amen
Psalms 125 verse three. The sector of the wicket will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous so that the righteous will not apply their hands to injustice. The whole chapter is good. And thank you.
Probably the best coherent analysis of the War in which we find ourselves. If anyone thinks Trump and the Republicans are the answer, they have asked the wrong question. America must repent and that through prayer and fasting of the Bride of Christ. The Enemy knows how to fight. We appear to have forgotten both how and why we are to.
I agree with you on all points. We must focus our attention on Jesus to get us through this time.
That is so well said!! Thank you for speaking the truth with boldness. We must re-focus and re-align ourselves with God so America can be saved! Excellent article
I agree. Whatever the party was a few years ago it is not the same. Is it time for them to make changes?
Heavenly Father,
We ask that You would make America Godly again. 🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏
Jesus I love you. I trust you and know that your will for us is always GOOD. I pray your will over my life and over our entire Nation. I pray that every Christian who claims to be your follower will vote and will vote with your commandments, laws and precepts in their hearts and on their minds. Please help us get people that you know may follow your will into positions of authority. Ones that you can use as you work things for our good. Help us rid our land of those who exalt themselves above you. Help us fight against the spiritual demons invading our nation and let us all be still and KNOW that you alone are GOD. To you be ALL Honor, Glory, Power and PRAISE. You alone are so worthy to be praised. I adore you and look forward to your soon return when I can walk, fellowship and pray with you in the Garden of Gethsemane. I love you with all my Heart, soul, spirit and mind. Amen
Good prayer challenge for repentance and revival to start in the heart and then it will spread.
I wish I could go back to the day when I voted for a certain candidate regardless of their party. However when the candidates vote 100% with their party, I must vote for the party which shares the most of my Christian values. Settling for 80% of the right thing for me is better than 100% of the wrong.
This is very true and necessary wisdom that every Christian needs to not only hear, but to understand-put into practice-and teach others!! I support every word and pray that this kind of change will clone about hastily!!
You are exactly right. When God’s truth is transcended for power, we have entered into the place of being conformed to the world instead of transformed. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered!
“if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 ESV
Your Vote is your seed!
Have it posted IN HEAVEN!
We need to save America from the Marxist Socialist & Communist!

We The People, our DUTY is to vote for YeHoVaH’s value,
A Biblical Worldview of

Why are hunters, fishers, and Christians NOT REGISTERED AND VOTING?
