Born Again By Faith in Christ
When we become born again we do it by faith in Christ, then His grace saves us, that is when HE comes to live in us and begins the cleansing process.
Ephesians 1:13-15 "…13 And in Him you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, having heard and believed the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. 14 The Spirit is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory. "
2 Corinthians 1:21-22 "…21 Now it is God who establishes both us and you in Christ. He anointed us, 22 placed His seal on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a pledge of what is to come. "
We are sealed with the Kings seal, never to be lost again, however, He does discipline those He loves.
Hebrews 12:5-7 "…5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, or lose heart when He rebukes you. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises everyone He receives as a son.” 7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?"

Trump is not the Answer Christ Is the Answer
I have had people accuse me of hating our president merely because I speak honestly about him.
We have no right to ask for blessing as a country when the drug culture, filthy movies and divorce and remarriage are more rampant than ever. It doesn't matter how many good things are president appears to be, if the people he serves are selfish and greedy anything he does will have little effect.
Babies are still dying as people continue to be angry every day when they are told what they are doing is wrong and that they need Christ.
NO, America is not getting better, spiritually and emotionally it is declining, we are getting worse every single day.
I don't hate Trump, I have prayed for his salvation, but I do not hold him in high regard, I do not say he is a Christian. He is just a man who has been appointed by God to do this job right now. If I were in his presence I would treat him with respect because of his position.
My focus is the condition of these end times and the fact that America is going down for the count. Putting up a wall, or a better economy is not going to save a spiritually bankrupt people.
The heart of the people is getting worse, more prideful, more greedy and more deceived. The church is in terrible deception and the people don't even realize it.
When we attempt to explain what the real Church of born again believers looks like, we are met with irritation and resistance. The apostasy is here in force and there is no turning back now.
Adult children are disrespectful to their parents and think they have a good reason, clearly in violation of the Scriptures that tell children to honor their parents. The parent that is disrespected the worst is the one who places boundaries and speaks boldly about truth. Those parents who say nothing, do nothing and pretend to be nothing are loved by their rebellious children.
Daring to be bold in a time of rebellion will bring difficulties, but it will also bring peace in our hearts as we seek to please the only One who really matters, that is Jesus Christ.
Keep on looking up saints, it won't be long now. We cannot allow the rebellious hearts of others dictate our course.
Those who place their trust in a country or a leader will not be able to focus on Christ.
Jeremiah 23:15-17 "…15 Therefore, this is what the LORD of Hosts says concerning the prophets: “I will feed them wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink, for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has spread throughout the land.”
16 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are filling you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD. 17 They keep saying to those who despise Me, ‘The LORD says that you will have peace,’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart, ‘No harm will come to you.’"

America is Declining Spitually
Trump became president by the will of God, but not to save America. God wanted us to see just how clever the anti-christ deception will be.
So what if we got a wall, so what if the economy is doing better, every sin remains growing, homosexuality, abortion and greed are still dominant, while respect for elders is declining every day.
The spiritual state of this nation gets worse all the time as the United States shouts "peace and prosperity", it continues down the path to destruction.
The nation is not being saved spiritually, these other things we think we like and need are nothing compared to the carnage emotionally and spiritually.
Suicide is up dramatically in the past few years. Teens are killing themselves, something we didn't see in my generation. This is a result of decaying families and rampant selfishness.
2 Timothy 3 and 4 are here right now!
2 Timothy 3:1-5
"1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."
2 Timothy 4:2-4
"…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.
3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.
4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"
