“...the powers that
be are ordained of God”
Romans
13:1
Yes, I changed my tune, and now I am [surprisingly] marching
to the beat of a different drummer.
A year ago no one could have convinced me I would be
rooting my heart out for Donald Trump the way I have been over the past several
weeks. When Donald Trump announced his run for the White House back in July
2015, my first thought was ‘he’s crazy’. Surely he’s only doing it as a joke
and to garner attention. I shrugged it off and laughed at the prospect thinking
he’s making a fool out of himself and hoped that eventually he would just go
away. Unfortunately, he didn’t, and his
foolishness was confirmed the moment he opened his mouth!
As a Hispanic female, sister of a handicap man, and
whose parents never received a college degree, I literally felt every punch he
threw out whenever he spoke in a degrading way about Latinos, handicaps,
females, the elderly and the uneducated. EVERYTHING Donald Trump said affected
me personally. And I was offended. The more he spoke the less I liked him. The
less I liked him the more I just knew there was no way in this lifetime I would
give him my vote, let alone my support.
Over the past year I have been unapologetically outspoken
against Donald Trump, and the deep hesitancy I had about voting. I knew I would
not be voting Democrat, but I also knew that if I voted at all I would not be
going to the polls but rather someone would have had to drag me kicking and
screaming! I simply could not stand the man, and for what is worth, I couldn’t stand
the woman either!
On the one hand, I saw the arrogant, greedy
businessman who is too proud to even admit he has ever faulted, therefore he
has no reason to ever ask for forgiveness, and on the other hand the arrogant,
greedy politician too proud to admit she’s ever done anything wrong even when
the evidence is mounting right before her eyes and the word ‘guilty’ seem to
hover over head like a flashing neon sign with arrows pointing at her!
I don’t think there is any way to separate the two in
an effort to decide who is the better one.
It is now no secret that the only woman to have ever
made it this far in a presidential election, has a proven track record of being
a deceitful, conniving figure willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her
ambitions, even if it costs someone’s life.
My rationale was sinking in, so much so that if I
decided not to vote I could think of a million ways I could justify my stance. After
all, both had given plenty of reason not to support them.
That was my mind, but my heart was a different story.
“ For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.” Galatians 5:17
Is kind of hard to reconcile rebellion of any kind, or
anger, when trying at the same time to please God. It’s even harder to try to reconcile
how we think things should be while knowing all along that God is in control
and has a purpose for everything.
In all honesty, I don’t think I asked God more than
once to please show me who I should vote for during this election. That must
have been the fastest prayer I have ever prayed and the most difficult. I hate
to admit it but it was like pulling teeth without anesthesia. It hurt! It was
more like grumbling through my teeth a very quick ‘GodpleasehelpmedothisAmen!
But who am I kidding!
‘For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O
LORD, thou knowest it altogether.’ Psalm 139:4
No sooner I asked I
began to be reminded in a daily and constant basis of who is in charge. Scriptures
began flowing through my mind and before I knew it I could see the bigger
picture.
Oh, we can argue this
election is about us, about the supreme court justices, about the economy, about
healthcare, about national security, the reasons are endless. But the truth is
this election is just one part of a much larger platform in the grand scale of spiritual
events scheduled to take place as the return of God draws near.
In the end, is not
going to matter who wins the election. God already knows who the next president
will be for He has already appointed him or her and has a purpose for doing so.
‘The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.’ Proverbs 16:4
There have been many times during the past
year, where I have felt like Daniel the prophet being taken into captivity. I
keep being reminded I don’t have to like it, I don’t even have to understand
it, I just have to trust God, and pray.
But I know that this
is all supposed to be happening exactly the way it is. Trump is like a curve
ball nobody was expecting but God knew was coming. And I hope he hits a home run
today.
Precisely because he
has no idea what he’s doing, so when good things start happening the only way
it can be explained is ‘by a miracle’ and God receives all the glory!
Truth be told, win or
lose, we are living in the time of the end and everything in this nation and
the world is shifting and aligning for that last great battle. And now more
than ever, what our country needs is not a better president or a female
president, because when everything is weight in the balance the one thing that’s
lacking is not leadership, is repentance. What our country needs is a broken
heart and a contrite spirit with which to turn from our evil ways and humbly seek
His face so that our land may be healed!
Is time to crush the spirit of Jezebel!
May Trump prove to be
a diamond in the rough and may he allow himself to be a vessel onto God!
God bless you and God
bless America!
