Trump is not going to save a nation or anyone. It is my opinion that he has been chosen by God to enrage the liberals into mobilizing even more quickly the end times events.
The liberals are out of control lawless rebels. They cannot stand anyone who brings standards and rules that will help the collective. They are all about self on every level.
We used to think in terms of the "team" or "the people", but the narcissistic liberals think only in terms of personal freedom even if it destroys themselves.
In the following passages we could easily substitute the word "fool" with the word "liberals." Liberals are synonymous with fools.
Proverbs 18:2-3
"2 A fool does not delight in understanding,
But only in revealing his own [a]mind.
3 When a wicked man comes, contempt also comes,
And with dishonor comes scorn."
Proverbs 12:15
"15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But a wise man is he who listens to counsel."
However a wise man:
Proverbs 1:5-7
"5 A wise man will hear and increase in learning,
And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel,
6 To understand a proverb and a figure,
The words of the wise and their riddles.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
Fools despise wisdom and instruction."
Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Don't Trust Any Bible College, Instead Trust Only Christ!
I don't trust any Bible college these days. God never told us to build colleges to prepare people for the ministry. He did however give us examples of patriarchs who spend years alone with God in prayer and study. Its better for a born again believer to avoid these places and spend much time alone with the Holy Spirit, He will guide in everything.
John 16:13-14 "13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.…"
Clifton Greene shared the following:
"A little disappointed in Candace Owens describing how "meditation" and "yoga" were her means of deliverance from a life of anorexia and misery, after rebelling against her grandfathers' Christian upbringing."
"And this was said at Liberty University!"

Christ Cleanses Not Covers
A dear sister shared the question below that has been on my mind for some time now. It made no sense that Jesus Christ shed all His blood to merely cover up our sin to hide it. Here were some of my thoughts and the original post by Sister Karen that might explain things.
1 Peter 4:8-9 " 8 Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Show hospitality to one another without complaining.…"
So many passages these days are taken out of context to modify the meaning God had for us.
They say; "love covers sin" therefore they conclude that the blood of Jesus covers sin. Its completely out of context and the Bible does not say this.
Love includes discipline and instruction, if we love we can help others avoid sin or confess to be cleansed of it.
When we read 1 Peter 4:1-11, it explains the phrase "love covers a multitude of sin", in context we see that Jesus Christ paid the price for sin that we would not have to live in it any longer.
1 Peter 4:1-2 "4 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God."

The blood of Jesus "covers sin".
Why do people keep using unbiblical terms?
The blood of Jesus does not cover our sin, it cleanses us from it.

Changed By Christ
If we have repented, that is "changed our mind" about our sin, it will lead to the actions that reflect our inner heart.
When we have changed our mind, knowing sin is exceedingly sinful then it causes us to turn from it. If there is no turning then there has been no change of mind. Repentance is not something one says, it is a change in the heart that results in actions.
Those that say they have repented but nothing changed in their attitude or actions then the repentance was merely lip service having no power over their character.
Matthew 15:7-9 "…7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you: 8‘ These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 9 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”
The power over our character is Christ if we have repented. If we have only lip service then it is the devil whose power is over our character and remains until the change of mind occurs.
Matthew 1:21
21 She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
It is Christ Who saves people from their sins, they do not save themselves.
2 Corinthians 5:16-18 "…16 So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:…"
What is the change of mind? That change in our mind is the desire to changed into a new creation by Christ. We begin to hate the sin we used to love and love the righteousness of God. However, in this change we realize we have no power of our own to change our own heart, we must ask Christ to do it.
When Christ makes someone into a new creation they stay that new creation. When Christ removes the desire to sin from our heart it is gone for good. If we do sin we hate it. We seek Christ for cleansing and go back to obedience.
The confusion today is that so many people claim to be Christians but have not changed after deciding to be a Christian they still love their sin and add greater pride to the mix of wrong attitudes. The pride that makes them believe everything they say and do is right even when it defies the Word of God simply because they think of themselves as special.
Anyone who comes to Christ in their own merit believing because they made this choice they are personally special cannot be born again. It is through the brokenness over sin that creates the humility necessary to approach Christ for salvation.
Psalm 51:16-17 "…16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. "
Those who fight against the truths of the Bible very likely were never repentant. Many people want to be seen as Christian and as good people but have no desire to honor and obey God.
When self is on the throne there is no faith in Christ. Everything depends on manipulating others to believe the false persona of perfection. Boasting is a big part of the nuances of pretenders. They are deeply invested in subtle insincerity of counterfeit Christianity.
Impressing people is the highest goal of the pretender, this is why they are so full of anger and rage when someone exposes their false doctrine.
When we know that we had to come in humility and brokenness to Christ to be cleansed by Him we have no delusions that we are good or special. Only Christ is good and He must be the One to change us.
Ephesians 2:10
"10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
If we are attempting to walk through this life in our own power depending on our illusions about ourselves we cannot be born again. God will not change anyone who wants to depend upon themselves.
2 Corinthians 5:17
"17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."
Remember, only Christ can make you into a new creation. He is the One Who works in us after we have changed our mind to be against the sin that dwells in us.
When we have changed our mind, knowing sin is exceedingly sinful then it causes us to turn from it. If there is no turning then there has been no change of mind. Repentance is not something one says, it is a change in the heart that results in actions.
