As a citizen in the United States of America, I look forward to what the Lord has in store for us the next four years. This is the first time in my life we have experience a Presidential Race like what we just went through. For we heard more lies from both parties it made one question all the Candidates. To see them portray Donald Trump as a lady’s man and Hillary Clinton as a person who used the internet to her advantage and cut everything she did not want to reveal to the public as a shame. 8:10 AMhis proved to me we are in the age when right is wrong and wrong is right. Do not bother me and I will not bother your mentality and then we wonder the reason we need more mental health clinics. As a whole America is morally bankrupt and no one seems to care or want to get us out of our problems. So, who do we elect as President by the elector College, Donald Trump with his them being Make America great again. It is not the popular vote that counts but the electoral votes. We saw Franklyn Graham going around to every state in the union with the message from 2 Chronicles “If my people who are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their land. We will never know how many attended his rallies but thousands showed up and many Evangelical Churches us that as a theme for many Sunday, so to see Donald Trump be chosen as our 45th President. It was the Evangelicals that were used in the process to a great degree at His request for it is God know that he wants to see uplifted so people can begin to rejoice again and be glad they are Americans. Now it is up to us all to keep the Lords commandment and statutes and His judgements so we do not fail and grumble. Let us not forsake the Lord will of peace and goodwill to man, but strength one another’s hands to do what is right, for all lives matter to God. We are seeing the Devil working at destroying everything that is good and it has gotten worse since President Trump has taken office. Satan has always fought the Lords will for our lives and since His time is about over lawlessness seems to want to abound for people do not like the way, truth and life that is ours as we abide in the vine; Jesus.
People that are protesting seem to destroy what people have taken a life time to build and it does not make sense. Yet we see this in religious quarters, government and businesses around the world. Noting seems to be safe and secure today for anything goes mentality rules and reigns.The Christian world now is being persecuted for wanting to do what is right and truthful so we need to be on the lookout as Satan can deceive anyone, so easy in thinking what is the use, people make their bed so let them lay in it! Lord help us to keep on giving the message let God make your bed as you abide in Him and obey Him and empower you to do what is right. Not what I think, but what does God think. We are so bent on doing things the way we want to and give no regard to what God wants to bless through us. Everyone I have ever meet wants to be free and able to do what they want and if it is not according to the best God has in store for us we are never happy with life’s circumstances but wine and complain and the worse life seem to get. That is the reason God wants us to lay aside all the weights and give them to the Lord to carry. We saw how President Trump had many Evangelicals apart of the inauguration Friday and then the Prayer Breakfast. Franklyn Graham, Greg Lauri, Dr David Jerimiah, and many more paraded before the world to see. The changing of the guard was done with the blessing of the Lord and all the world got to see President Trump and his wife Vanessa as so wholesome and his children Sophia Trump, Madison Trump, Donald Trump the third, Tristan Milos Trump, Spencer Frederick Trump and their youngest son Barron 10 years old are now going to be familiar names we need to pray for just like I hope you did for the Obama. It remains to be seen what is before us as a Nation but what I am concern with is our Church, this building that we as a Church come to every Sunday Morning to worship, reverence, hope and have faith in God to answer our prayers. We are abiding in the vine as Joh 15 lets us know and as we abide in the Lord we have a desire to serve him and obey Him. We saw last Sunday the Packers of Green bay get beat by Atlanta and then the Steelers get beat by the Patriots now next Sunday we will see the Atlanta Falcons play against the Patriots, and knowing what little I know about football the team that works the hardest and smartest is going to sin. They have to have the football in their passion in order to win. We need to have the Lord in our hearts if we are going to win this game of life over the sins of the world. Satan is on the attack and we are seeing it on our TV as people are marching against what is good and wholesome and destroying their own families and property. This is the beginning of lawlessness referred to in the Bible so it is necessary we understand the power of the enemy for he is out to deceive the very elect. 1 Samuel 15 tells how Saul the Kings was elected for the people wanted to be like everybody else and we are seeing the same things happening today. We cannot have our way, we need to have Gods way, for it is His life and truth we need to know. Samuel had to get after Saul for he made a memorial to himself and that is against God laws, He let the people take of the spoil and that was to be forbidden, he rejected the truth of God word and he wanted to blame someone else. Samuel said you have rejected the Lord and the Lord has rejected you and Saul got mad and tore Samuels cloths but Samuel said the Lord has torn the Kingdom of Israel from you and given it to a neighbor that is better than you. God is a God that does not relent that He should relent to you. Saul said I have sinned; yet honor me now, please before the elder of my people, and before Israel and return to me that I may worship the Lord. And Samuel regretted that he made Saul King over Israel. Then I read Ephesians 2 and saw how God makes us alive when we were dead in trespasses of sins, when we walk according to the course of the world. Is not the course of this world controlled by Satan as if he is on a rampage knowing his time is short? People are out of order and lawlessness is becoming a threat to innocent people. Jack Saint St Hilare was with his Son Sunday getting ready to speak at the University and his son had a Trump hat on and was attacked by those who were marching against Donald Trump and Dad tried to help as the broke the nose of his son and found themselves in a position of having to defend themselves. This is happening again and again. People are destroying the freedom our men have fought for down through the year. We do not know what is going to happen next and need to be aware of our surrounding and where God is for He is watching all the time. Let’s us as a Church make sure we know in whom we have believed and what is expected of us as a Church so we do not have to lives in a state of fear but know we are adopted into the family of God to where we can cry out Father God help us!
