Donald Trump is the 45th President of the United States. That is not many national leaders; but indeed, we are a young nation… the “new kid on the block” really. We are gangly and awkward and “put our foot in our mouth” like a teenager. But we are also young and fresh and eager – certainly not subtle – but blessed with amazing strength. In a fight, everyone wants us on their side. After we’ve helped them win, they are again somewhat embarrassed by our lack of “political slickness.”

Therefore, like the youngest kid in the neighborhood, they take our money and use our toys – and – if we give them up willingly they will let us into the club house – and we have been grateful to them – truly – for letting us in the door.

And you know, that will continue because we will always be the new kid on the block – and we will always come stumbling forward to reach out a hand to the world – because that is who we are.

No matter how much the intelligentsia “grays-up” the atmosphere, we are basically a gloriously hopeful lot – powerful but surprisingly decent – and rather simple… in the best sense of the word.

But God has sent a message – not only to America – but indeed to the world through this election. But what?

We know he is God’s “trump card” and God’s “final trumpet call” – but another prophetic symbol was given due to the fact that he is the 45th President.

THE PROPHETIC WORD

We are blessed to have a very fine prophetic voice as a member of our prayer group at this ministry. He is hidden by God and (personally) I think that may be the reason he is so accurate and unmixed. [ I will refer to him as WS.]

WS said that God had made Trump His Colt 45. This revolver was created in 1873 (exactly 144 years ago) and was named the PEACEMAKER by the manufacturer – (though this historical fact has been lost in time, it seems.)

Expanding his understanding, WS said “As the swamp is drained, alligator and crocodile dens will be exposed. Snake (poisonous, non-poisonous and constrictor) holes will be uncovered. Also, spider webs will be seen.”

“As these creatures come into view, God will use His 45 (Trump) to (spiritually) shoot them.”

GOD’S WAY VS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

Often the Lord throws us a “curve ball” to see if we are keeping our eyes on Him or if we have veered – off into political/spiritual correctness. Almost everything Jesus did offended the Establishment.

One of the greatest examples of political incorrectness was committed by King David. It is found in 2 Samuel 6:12 – 23:

“Now it was told King David, saying, ‘The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God.’ David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness. And so it was, that when the bearers of the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling. And David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

Then it happened as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

So they brought in the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offering, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. Further, he distributed to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a cake of bread and one of dates and one of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed each to his house.

But when David returned to bless his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, ‘How the king of Israel distinguished himself today! He uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids as one of the foolish ones shamelessly uncovers himself!’ So David said to Michal, ‘It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel; therefore I will celebrate before the Lord. I will be more lightly esteemed than this and will be humble in my own eyes, but with the maids of whom you have spoken, with them I will be distinguished.’ Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.”

King David was not being politically correct and his wife (who was the daughter of Saul the former King and who had been raised in the palace as a princess) looked down on her husband.

NEW PRESIDENT

This new president often is politically incorrect. But WS has received a warning from the Lord about His choice in answer to our prayers for help:
“Touch not My anointed.”

May the Lord bless and protect His chosen vessel – and may God’s people hold up his hands in fervent prayer, daily.
