Millions of Americans are expecting a new “golden age” for America under Donald Trump, but is that what they are going to get? There is always optimism when a new president is elected, but I don’t know if I have ever seen anything like the euphoria that many Trump supporters are expressing right now. Look, I voted for Donald Trump and I want him to be as successful as possible. But when Donald Trump becomes our next president on January 20th, that does not mean that all of the great problems that our nation is facing will somehow magically disappear. If you listen to some people, they make it sound like America is going to experience nothing but peace, prosperity and blessing for decades to come. I would love it if that was indeed going to be the case, but unfortunately that is simply not the truth.
We are currently on a path that leads to national suicide, and unless we change our ways it isn’t going to matter who is in the White House.
I keep hearing about how our new president is going to “unify” the nation, but that is going to be extremely difficult to do considering the fact that we are now more divided than ever. In fact, a brand new Gallup survey found that an all-time record high 77 percent of all Americans believe that we are “greatly divided when it comes to the most important values”.
I keep hearing about how we are now entering a golden age of peace and prosperity, but how is that supposed to happen while we are still butchering millions of innocent children in our abortion mills?
I keep hearing about how the economy is about to take off like a rocket, but how is that possible when we have already been on the greatest debt binge in world history? The only way we have been able to maintain our massively inflated debt-fueled standard of living is by piling up debt at a faster pace than any generation in history. Today we have accumulated 12 trillion dollars in consumer debt, corporate debt has doubled since the last financial crisis, and the national debt is rapidly approaching 20 trillion dollars. How can Trump possibly pump up our standard of living with debt more than Obama has already done?
I keep hearing about how we are “going to make America great again”, but how can we be great when we are producing more pornography than the rest of the world combined?
I keep hearing about how “law and order is going to restored”, but meanwhile chaos has already been erupting in cities all over the nation and the far left is planning to turn Inauguration Day into a major riot.
I keep hearing about how “things are going to go back to the way they used to be”, but as I discussed in a previous article, “sexually-transmitted diseases are spreading at the fastest pace in decades, the percentage of births out of wedlock is more than 10 times higher than in 1940, and approximately two out of every three Christian men watch pornography on a regular basis.”
I keep hearing about how we are going “to drain the swamp”, and yet there are no plans to even reform the Federal Reserve system which is at the very heart of our financial problems as a nation.
I keep hearing about how good judges are going to be put on the Supreme Court, but how can we trust that when our new president just said that he is “fine with” the Supreme Court decision that forced all 50 states to redefine the institution of marriage?
I keep hearing about how we are going to be “an example” for the rest of the world, but how can we be “an example” when just about every form of evil imaginable is exploding in popularity inside our own country?
I keep hearing about how our government is going to be “blessed”, but how can a government that gives hundreds of millions of dollars a year to Planned Parenthood be “blessed”? Now that the Republicans have control of the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives, this is their golden opportunity to defund Planned Parenthood. If it doesn’t happen now, it probably will never happen, and it will show what a complete and utter failure the Republican Party has become. Remember, Planned Parenthood is an organization that has been caught on camera admitting that they harvest organs from the babies that they kill and that they sell those organs off to the highest bidder.
Some would argue that America is already “great” at a lot of things. After all, the United States is number one in the world in television watching, legal drug use and illegal drug use.
We lead the world in plastic surgery, eating disorder deaths, teen pregnancy and lawyers per capita.
We have the highest STD infection rate in the industrialized world, the highest divorce rate in the industrialized world, and the largest prison population on the entire planet.
We also have the most complicated tax system in the entire world, the largest trade deficit in the entire world, and the largest national debt in the entire world.
So if we want to make America great again, we sure have a lot of work to do.
The complacency that I am seeing out there right now really alarms me. So many people seem to think that the battle is won because Donald Trump was victorious on election night. But that is not even close to reality.
If we do not fundamentally change course as a nation we will not survive. Tinkering with tax rates, regulations and trade agreements is not going to get the job done. So many people are acting as if we just have a few cuts and scratches, when the reality is what our country really needs is major heart surgery.
Donald Trump is not some sort of a messiah, and even if he is able to accomplish every single thing that he is promising right now it will not nearly be enough.
But for the moment, millions of Americans are proclaiming “peace and safety” now that Donald Trump has won the election, and we shall see how it all turns out…

I think more than ever his presidency exposed the great divide in our nation and spiritually. I don’t think everything will automatically fall into place just because he is president, but the fact that he won against all odds is proof that God is on the move & He is doing something! But the key is WE the church are called to do something during this time. Trump was a trumpet to God’s people, called to keep fighting the spiritual battles & grow more into Christ, reflecting Him in this day & age. It’s not over just because he won, we have only begun. So we must not roll over & go back to sleep, but stand firm & cooperate with what God is wanting to do in our nation. The Bible is clear on what will happen in the end days with the antichrist in power & everything and I believe we will see those days & have had a taste of them, but impatience is not a fruit of the Spirit, so I see the devil like he was being impatient about his time & trying to speed everything up quicker than God’s timing. He wants His people to be READY for that time & bring as many into the kingdom as possible. We were on the brink of destruction, but God stepped in at the 11th hour! Seeing Him move on such a big scale increased my faith trmendously!
Forget about this euphoria, the election of Trump has been a sign that the church of Jesus Christ has been granted a temporary reprieve. Now its time for us, the church, to “seize the moment”, repent, and stop playing the christian self preservation game, get out there and win the lost! Time to stop playing church and time to start being the church? A proper perspective is needed right now about this election, would you agree?
To stop playing church, Baptism of the Holy Spirit for every individual and beginning to move and flow in at least 1 of the 9 Spiritual Gifts would be key. The Holy Spirit is the True TEACHER of the Church and He is the MOST IMPORTANT PERSON ON EARTH. He needs to be welcomed in the church buildings and allowed to have His Way.
Also, church members need to be educated about all of this, which includes the FULL COUNSEL of the WORD. (“My people perish for a lack of knowledge.”) We need a true model of what church really means. Individuals need to be encouraged to embrace THE WORD only (not doctrines of men). They need to be encouraged to be in THE WORD daily for themselves…..and to spend much time alone with God.
This “new” church would be church ALIVE with the acts of the Holy Spirit for the purpose of edifying the Body of Christ and winning the lost in this Babylon System for the Kingdom of Heaven.

The recount in Mi. Still stands for Trump by 10,700 votes. The closest in our states history.
Now Team Hillary is also getting into recount.

Here is some very reliable, insightful information regarding this “RECOUNT” topic from “The Common Sense Show.”

With regard to the political climate, I expect ‘more of the same’ under Mr. Trump, as we’ve had with Mr. Obama. The way I see it, Mr. Trump has 2 years to do what he wants. MAXIMUM. After that, the restless American public (realizing that Mr. Trump cannot save the day for the many reasons you’ve already outlined) will send another message to Washington the only way they know how – they’ll sweep a bunch of Democrats into Congress in the midterms.
This will continue the tradition of DC gridlock and effectively render Mr. Trump a lame duck for his last 2 years.
Sure, he may get a wall built and deport a few bad guys. And, he may even get a ‘decent’ person elected to the Supreme Court. But, those are just the least of our concerns… again…. as you’ve already explained in great detail.
Here is an interesting dream a friend from Italy sent me about Trump and America. This dream was given to him last week. He gave me permission to post it.
“As you know, I’m not American and I don’t even live there, so I have no interest in the American politic, but because of the almost obsessive repeating of many brothers and sisters in America, that Trump has been elected because of the prayers of the saints, that God has delayed His judgement on America and consequently delayed the fulfillment of the End Times, that Trump is the chosen one and God will do great things using him, and so on, and on, and on, I was almost convinced that really God had done all of this, even if still something did not feel right inside. Then one night last week I prayed “Lord, your will be done in America and in every nation of the Earth, if you really have delayed everything so be it, be blessed your Name”, For me, this chapter was definitively closed, but when I fall asleep I had this dream, which I instantely realized was a spiritual dream:
I saw a huge big beautiful ship, sailing in the ocean, and on the side of this ship there was painted the American flag and the written word “America”; the sea was calm and the weather good, when all of a sudden I looked at the end of the ship, then the head of the ship, and right exactly where the head of the ship ended I saw the most scareful sea that I have ever seen, the water was really black, the waves were taller then the ship itself, and the weather was fully stormy, and believe me if a say that it was the most violent storm that I have ever seen, such a powerful wind, raining like every drop was a gun shot bullet, and how it rained abundantly, and the most scareful thing was that the clouds were so low, almost unified with the sea, and they were black, not black as to say dark grey or so, no … they were literally black! Then I saw a big paper in front of me, between me and the scene of the ship, and on this paper were written two words, “Trump” and “Delay”, when suddenly a lightning hit this paper and it was just swept away; then I looked again at the ship scene and I saw that the ship was just entering the bad sea zone that I previously saw. I woke up and then I heard in my mind: “NO DELAY”.
Too many are deceiving themselves proclaiming this, “God has delayed” lie, while the truth is that God has NOT delayed (why should He? He has already delayed enough until now.)”
Peachey,
Thank-you for sharing your friend’s dream. It makes total sense to me.
Here’s some excellent teaching on “The Baptism of the Holy Spirit,” Parts 1, 2, and 3. Each part is about 1 hour in length.

Defending Israel from Obama Administration Betrayal at the UN
By Jay Sekulow 2 days ago
As President Obama’s days in office tick down, the threat to Israel – our greatest ally in the Middle East – continues to grow. But this week, we’re taking direct action at the U.N.
We’ve previously detailed the numerous ways the Obama Administration could betray Israel on the world’s stage. As jihadists perpetually threaten more terrorist attacks against the Israeli people, the Obama Administration has shown signs of plotting to abandon Israel at the United Nations, slashing Israel’s legal borders, and forcing them to the negotiations table with mandatory concessions to terrorist-enablers and supporters.
I’ve led the ACLJ’s team in defense of Israel on the world’s stage before at the U.N., at the International Criminal Court, on Capitol Hill, and throughout America where anti-Israel attacks target Jewish students and professors.
And we are doing it again. It may be a holiday week here in the United States as we celebrate Thanksgiving, but we are actively defending Israel all week.
We’re sending urgent legal letters to the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council (P5) – nations that possess veto power over any Security Council resolution. Any one of these nations could singlehandedly thwart an attempt to undermine Israel in the final days of the Obama Administration.
Yesterday, we sent four international legal letters to Russia, China, France, and the United Kingdom. Today, we’re sending one to the United States government. And later this week, we’re sending more critical legal letters to six other members of the U.N. Security Council – nations that could join together to defeat any resolution opposing Israel.
Our message is as important as it is simple:
We call your attention to a matter of grave importance. Reports indicate that certain Member States, intending to exploit the transition period between U.S. presidential administrations, plan to propose resolutions to the UN Security Council that would, if passed, be potentially damaging to the security, sovereignty and diplomatic standing of the State of Israel.
We are concerned about resolutions affecting Israel’s borders or punishing Israel for allegedly illegal “settlement” activity in disputed territories. Measures could also include attempts to force a change in the status quo in Jerusalem and/or otherwise to impose terms or conditions upon or require concessions from the State of Israel prior to a resumption of peace negotiations.
The waning days of a U.S. presidential administration are not the time for the Security Council to advance measures would disturb a very delicate status quo and may clash with U.S. policy under the incoming administration. It would be prudent to defer any such discussion or vote until the new U.S. presidential administration is in office.
In the event that any such resolution comes before the Security Council for consideration, we urge your country to exercise her veto power.
Our letter goes on to detail vital international legal and historical analyses involving Israel’s borders, “settlements”, and international law. We also reiterate that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict cannot be resolved by imposing preconditions and artificial requirements on them. There must be voluntary, good faith negotiations consistent with the norms of international law.
As the U.S. undergoes a peaceful transition of power, maintaining the status quo is necessary for not only stability in the Middle East but also diplomatic relations among the P5.
We will keep you updated on our continued aggressive fights to defend Israel during the Obama Administration’s final days of danger.
Sign our petition below to stand with Israel. (Search this on your own to find the information/ petition- Jay Sekulow ACLJ)
Great Scripture about Israel:
Israel’s Rejection Not Final
From Romans Chapter 11
11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. 12 Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. 15 For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” 20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. 22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness,[f] if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 FOR I DO NOT DESIRE, brethren, THAT YOU SHOULD BE IGNORANT OF THIS MYSTERY, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved,[g] as it is written:
“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27 For this is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”[h]
