Victory for Donald Trump: what it means for Christians

 

Victory For Donald Trump WHAT it Means for Christians

 We'll praise Jesus today, brothers and sisters in the Lord. Many of us have been watching and we see the news of that victory of Donald Trump, which is truly a blessing for Christians. It is a goal.  It is a step in the right direction for Christians. But that does not mean, and I don't think anyone thinks it means, it will be smooth sailing for the United States or for the world or more specifically for Christians who want to continue to walk forward on the straight and narrow path.

We know from what Jesus taught, from the things about the end times, such as Matthew chapter 24, that in the end times things go from bad to worse.  Christians are persecuted. There is pestilences and disasters, famines, earthquakes, and all of these things will happen. Countries will be at war with other countries.  We can expect all these things to happen, but what Jesus says is the end is not yet. The end is still to come. There are a lot of people who think that when they see all these things, the end will happen immediately.  But Jesus already told us that the end is not yet. It will not come immediately. So we have to prepare in our hearts to endure with Jesus to the very end. 

Now I want to speak about something here that many people will be upset about, but it is the truth. And this is the main thing I want to talk about because there is a physical aspect and a spiritual aspect for Christians. Praise Jesus today everyone. What I want to speak about is the wall and the eviction of the people who are ungodly. Because Donald Trump speaks about this, Jesus speaks about this, people are going to be kicked out of Jesus' kingdom and the walls, the city gates of the kingdom of heaven are so tall that no evil will get in it. Yet you have Christians letting all sorts of evil into the boundaries of their church.  They don't build a wall into their own hearts. They don't know how to evict demons. They don't know how to cast out demons.  So you have a president of the United States who speaks so much about building a wall and deporting illegal immigrants back to all of their countries, and then you suddenly have all of these people. And it's such a shame that even Christians would be offended at this because Christians should know more than anyone that you have to build walls. That's why there's a wall around the kingdom of God. 

And in our own hearts we have to build walls. We protect our own borders, you know, to our children, to our wives, and we keep things that are evil out. And if you allow things that are illegal, so to speak, into your own heart, into your own mind, through the TV, through the media, through video games, through perverted music, through friendships, through people that you consider to be your brother, your sister, even if they say that they are a Christian, it doesn't matter if you're allowing them into their life and they are leading you away from the true God.  You need to kick those people out of your life. You need to deport them out of your life. Donald Trump knows this.  It doesn't matter if you think that he is a good Christian or not. It doesn't matter what you think about him because what he's displaying in the physical realm is something we as Christians need to do in the spiritual realm. And so many Christians, so many Christians, guys, are refusing to sever themselves from the ungodly, the lawless, the sinner, because they say, we love these people.  They're people that are helping me. They're people that are, you know, my own brother and sister, my own family member, so I can't leave this ungodly church that's causing me all sorts of problems. I can't leave there. I can't secure my borders because these are people that make up my own life, my own existence. And because Christians are unwilling to divide themselves, to sever themselves from ungodly people, they're going to be numbered with the tares. Remember that in the end times, God separates the wheat from the tares, the sheep from the goat.  He separates the good seed from the bad seed. And so many Christians think that God doesn't see. They think, well, all of us are sinners. Praise the Lord. All of us are sinners, but all of us are going to be in heaven because of the Lord's blood. That is not what Jesus said.  Of course, Jesus shed his blood on Calvary. He died on the cross and resurrected. But there will be many Christians in hell because they never repented and cast out their demons.  They never overcame. Those who overcome, overcome by the blood of the Lamb, but also the word of their testimony. And they endure with Jesus Christ and they suffer persecution even to the end of the world.  And the gates of hell will not be able to destroy them and come against them. That is because Jesus is on their side and they never back down from doing what is right. They don't allow Satan into their hearts.  They don't continue to walk with mockers and those who hate God and those who blaspheme and those who commit idolatry and every sort of sin that God hates.

Christians can be pro-Trump, and there are a lot of Christians that are pro-Trump, but they're not pro-righteousness. They say, Jesus, Jesus, Holy Spirit, but they never truly repent of their own sins.  They agree that Donald Trump should put up bigger and stronger walls. They agree that he should deport all of the illegal immigrants who have gotten here illegally, not legally, but they reject that they need to repent of their own sins. So this is a huge analogy that God is giving to the Christian church today all across America that the entire world can see.  You don't need to get all fixed on thinking, well, is Trump the Antichrist? Is Trump the false prophet? No, God has allowed Trump to give you and me and all of us time to get right with God, time to pray, time to have religious liberty and freedom to preach the truth, to get our houses in order, and if you are rejecting that, you are rejecting the blessing that God has given you in this time. He is giving another opportunity, another chance for you to get right with God, a chance that we do not deserve as a nation, but because God is merciful, because He is loving, His love and His righteousness and His blessing comes on the evil, the wicked, even people that don't deserve it at all. And these people that don't deserve it, I sure hope that some of them will see the grace of God instead of spitting in His face and rejecting the words of Jesus.  I hope they cry out to the living God for salvation because all of us should know that obviously Trump is not the Savior. Jesus Christ is the Savior and He is willing to save you from your sins and give you time. He doesn't want to just call down fire from heaven to destroy men's lives.  That is what a lot of Christians hoped for, just like the apostles hoped that fire would be called down from heaven and just kill all of Jesus's opponents, to kill all those Pharisees and all those Sadducees. Jesus did not agree with that. He did not hold Peter's hand in that and agree with him, but He said, I have not come to destroy men's lives but to save them.

And the same is happening today. A lot of people wish that God would just kill America. She is fat and ugly.  She is giving herself to prostitution, you know, gay marriage, homosexuality, murder of babies. That doesn't deserve God's love, but God has even brought the rain on the good and the wicked. So don't spit in God's face.  Don't flip off God. You have this one more chance to repent of your sins, to deport evil, to cast out demons out of your own life, to get drugs and alcohol out of your life, to get pornography out. It is really a wonderful blessing that someone like Donald Trump can exhibit this example of not giving up, even though people want to sue him, even though people want to shoot him in the head, even though they want to lie about him constantly. What does he do? Even being a man in the world, he continues to push forward and not give up. And that is a wonderful example for Christians, the true Christian church, not to give up. If Christians would serve Jesus half as hard or one-tenth as hard as Donald Trump is serving the United States, Christians would be able to repent.  They'd be able to overcome sin. We need to overcome our sin problem. We need to cast out demons in Jesus' name.  We need to put on the full armor of God. We need to cast out what is evil from among us. No unrighteous thing is going to enter into the kingdom of God.  Nothing's going to pass that veil and be in the kingdom of the everlasting King without true righteousness, without true repentance, without reconciling with Jesus Christ.

We need to remember the new covenant that was Jesus who shed his blood for us, that we could put our faith in him, that he would wash over our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. It's not something that just happens in the spiritual realm or something that just happens in the future when we're in heaven.  I hear so many Christians say, you know, “all of us are sinners, but God's blood covers over us, brother, and we'll all be in heaven in bliss. And at that time he will have taken away our sins.” That's not the truth. Jesus came to sanctify us and purge us here on this earth to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. That is what all those white robes are speaking of when Jesus gives all those parables about the end times. That's what he's speaking of, the sanctification of his true church.  And those churches and those Christians that are going homosexual, that are agreeing with all this vileness of the world, that are receiving all these demons into their heart, they're refusing to put on their white robes. They're not going to make it into the wedding supper of the lamb. They're not going to be able to sit down at Jesus's table.  They're going to be kicked out. They're going to be ejected. They're going to be cast into hell. 

Remember that parable that Jesus taught that all the people come into his kingdom and then they see one guy there who doesn't have on the wedding clothes. He has on his old rags, his filthy garments. And they say to him, how did you get in here? And the man is left speechless because he thought he should be there with his dirty rags.  He thought he should be there with his pornography and his addictions and without true repentance. He thought he deserved to be in God's kingdom, that no one would kick him out. After all, huge countries for so much time have allowed all sorts of evil in and they haven't put to death crime and evil.  So shouldn't God allow evil to come into his kingdom? So in this parable that Jesus tells, this man gets in with his dirty old wicked robes, his filthy garments. And God doesn't say to him, “welcome into my kingdom with your filthy garments”, but he says, “bind him hand and foot and cast him into outer darkness”. And so the angels come and they grab this man and they cast him into the pit of hell.  And that is going to happen to many Christians who wrongly supposed they could get into heaven without true repentance, without righteousness, without evicting demons, without casting out demons. We should all let this be an analogy for us, for the Christian church, a parable for us, for the Christian church, and an encouragement for us to overcome. Because if Donald Trump in the world can set up a wall, if he can kick out the illegal immigrants who have come here illegally, then we as Christians should really stand up for our rights, stand up for our rights in the kingdom of God and take back from Satan what is ours. We should take back the purity of our heart. We should evict every sort of evil from our life, every sort of parasite that is inside us, and we should set up walls around our spiritual being, that being the wall of the Holy Spirit with the full armor of God, so that no longer will sin get into us. We need the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the sword of the Spirit, the belt of truth, and the feet with the boots ready to bring the gospel of peace. 

But if Christians are ashamed to disassociate with sinners, if they are ashamed to touch nothing unclean, to come out from the harlot church system, if they're ashamed, God will certainly be ashamed of them. Jesus will be ashamed of you, and his angels will be ashamed of you, if you don't truly repent and start living holy and utterly for Jesus Christ. Are we a nation of people, a spiritual nation, a nation of people that belong to the kingdom of God? I'm talking spiritually.  Or are we Christians that are just excited because Donald Trump won, and because he physically has overcome these things in the world? Things aren't going to get better just because Trump won. It is a victory for Christians. It is a blessing.  It's a wonderful victory that Donald Trump won. But that doesn't mean things will be easy for you. In fact, things will get many times harder.  Jesus tells us this. We know this from Matthew chapter 24, and we know that we have to endure to the very end of our life. Will we continue to pursue Jesus? Will we overcome in our own personal life, with our wife, with our children, with our parents, in our schools, in our workplace? Will we be the light of the world, and will we be people who are rooted on the rock of Jesus Christ? Is your salvation in Jesus today? Are you living holy? Or are you like the Christians today, who are just excited that Trump won, and they think that that in itself will bring, you know, holiness? Do you think that that in itself will bring Christians to repentance? Of course it won't. You need to choose to put your faith in Jesus to overcome, to cast out demons, to cast out evil from you, and you need to choose to live holy.

I want to pray for those of you that have an ear to hear, and for those of you that want to continue the struggle for righteousness, for those of you that want to pray for the United States, for true repentance from the top all the way down, that people would give their life to Jesus Christ, that they would repent of pride, and truly be humble before the King of kings and Lord of lords. “So Lord Jesus, I pray for your true church.  I pray for my fellow brother and sister, my fellow countrymen, people that are all across the United States and across the world. I pray that we can truly put our faith in you, Jesus, and that we would watch your signs and your wonders and your miracles and the power that is in heaven. I pray that we fully put our trust in you and not in the arm of the flesh. I pray that you continue to purge us, to purify us, and to make us completely clean and in our wedding garments, that we may overcome Satan, that we may cast out demons, and that we may inherit the life that is to come, because you are in us and you are working through us. I pray that all of us separate from ungodliness, that we separate from the sinner, from the idolater, from the sorcerer, from all of those that practice evil, and that we would put on righteousness, and that we would associate no longer with dead religion, with the apostate Babylon church, that we would associate no longer with ungodliness, but that we would keep ourselves unstained from the world and partake in your new covenant where we eat your flesh daily and we drink your blood. I pray for the eyes of the blind to be open.  I know so many Christians today are spiritually blind, but I pray that the eyes of the blind would be open, and that the ears of the deaf would be opened, and that more people would come to true repentance, and this victory of Donald Trump would lead Christians to true repentance, and that they would come to life and make it into your everlasting kingdom. In your name I pray, Lord Jesus. Amen.”
