It’s a God Thing

Trump won! Against all odds, he pulled it off and won the election. I’ve heard Christians say that it’s not really a win. I’ve heard people say that he’s immoral and really not much better than Hillary Clinton. I beg to differ. I see this victory differently than most.

I believe God has ushered in Trump as President of the United States. I believe God soundly defeated the enemy, when Hillary Clinton lost the election fair and square. That was God’s doing. Trump is immoral, yes. But does that disqualify him for the office of president of the United States? No. Trump is imperfect, but we all are. Some to a greater degree than others, but we are ALL in need of a Savior. None of us are perfect.

Throughout the Bible God used imperfect people to do His work. Look at Sampson. He couldn’t keep his hands off the girls. He had one job, kill the Philistines, but he spent most of his life, loving the girls. He finally did it in the end. He killed the Philistines along with himself.

Is Trump just a little better than Hillary Clinton? No! He is significantly better than Hillary Clinton. If there was just one reason God would elect Trump, than it is this. There is one matter that God cares deeply about. The matter probably “trumps” all the other issues. Abortion. You see, our country has been killing babies ever since Roe Vs. Wade became a law of the land. God takes issue with the murder of innocent children at the hands of their own mothers. The blood of millions of children have been crying out to God! God doesn’t ignore these things. God heard their cries. Hillary Clinton is very pro abortion. Her husband enacted the partial birth abortion when he was in office. If Hillary Clinton were in office, she would very likely enact partial birth abortion again. She has no problem with the abortion and strongly supports it.

Trump has said he will reverse Roe vs. Wade. This idea freaks out the left and progressives. I believe God is going to use Trump to stop abortion and help us clean up our act as a country.

Christians have been praying for years (myself included) for God’s mercy on our country. We know God has blessed us, but we know that we have lived badly for years, invoking God’s wrath on us. God is a merciful God. He is a God of second chances. God answers prayers.

The election seemed against the odds. Hillary’s people were crying fowl, long before the election, demanding that Trump concede already. The media started harassing him, asking him if he was going to concede after Hillary beat him by a landslide. They said he wouldn’t and wasn’t he a creep for not conceding already. When everything is against you, and you pull it off and win, that’s a God thing.

There was no question that Trump had won. There were no dangling chads  or confusion as to who had Florida. Nothing was questionable. Trump’s win was concise, clear and obvious. Clearly, Hillary had lost, Trump had won. Nobody could question it. That’s a God thing.

God is opposed to the proud. Hillary Clinton had so much pride, she fell spectacularly! The media who strongly supported her had declared her a winner long before election night. Her headquarters were lavish. Trump’s were humble. Very quickly Hillary’s pride was being attacked as it became clear early on that Hillary, in fact, was losing. To fall so far and so spectacularly, that’s a God thing.

My prayer for the past three months or so was that God would deny Hillary Clinton that prize of becoming the first female president of the United States, because of her great pride, because of her wickedness and because of her lies upon lies. I felt like Abraham, bargaining with God about Sodom and Gormorrah. I prayed that God would defeat the enemy and usher in Trump as president. And I know I’m not the only one who prayed that. I know many others prayed that too.

I believe God is using Trump and instructing him. Why would Trump select a Christian as his running mate? Trump is surrounding himself with good people. He is serious. He is careful. So now that he has won, let’s pray for him. Let’s pray for his protection and pray that he continue to do the things he said he would do. Will you join me in praying for our newly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump?
