Is Trump God’s Chosen Instrument?
Charisma Magazine ^ | 01/12/2024 | Ryan S. Howard

Posted on 01/13/2024 8:15:46 AM PST by Jan_Sobieski

I recently met and prayed in private with Donald Trump, along with a dozen other ministry leaders, before he went on stage in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The opportunity came shortly after I endorsed Trump for president, an endorsement also made by more than 200 faith leaders across the state of Iowa. While many Christian leaders have come to recognize Trump as the one whom God has chosen to lead America in this hour, others in America wonder how anyone could support Trump at all, let alone endorse him.

So, the question is, why have so many faith leaders endorsed Trump for president?

Decades ago, politics had a middle ground where people could have reasonable discussion. For the most part, both sides wanted the same outcomes and only disagreed on how to accomplish them.

Today is very different.

Globalists want to radically change the nation, including its values and its place on the world stage. Many in the middle want to “play nice” and just go along to get along. But that approach is what has gotten us into the trouble we are in today.

Christians and conservatives have simply played too much defense and not enough offense. We must recognize that the game we are playing is not politics as usual…

I think Trump is God’s man for this hour and Vivek as his VP will be God’s man for 2028.

FREEDOM FIRST, EVERYTHING ELSE SECOND!!!

FREEDOM MAGA!!!

As far as I am concerned, he is.

No one in the Bible viewed either Cyrus or Artaxerxes as a savior. And contrary to the baited claims of the left today, no one views Trump as a savior. Trump is simply a chosen instrument in God’s hand for today.

Only if he wins. Will it really happen?

Think about it.

Agreed.

the harder evil people fight against him, the harder it is to deny that God is in this.

Many today are laser-focused on certain aspects of Trump’s past or his approach, which can be more aggressive than they prefer, all while ignoring the many pro-Christian policies he enacted and ignoring the anti-Christian policies of so many other leaders.


Check the heart of the man.

What is the difference between a sheep dog and a wolf?

https://www.theexpositor.tv/blog/sheep-wolves-and-sheepdogs-lt-col-dave-grossman/

“Then there are sheepdogs,” he went on, “and I’m a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf.” If you have no capacity for violence then you are a healthy productive citizen, a sheep. If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath, a wolf. But what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens? What do you have then? A sheepdog, a warrior, someone who is walking the hero’s path. Someone who can walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed.

In the 60 years, who else have church leaders “laid the mantle upon” besides Trump?

I’d like to know.

The Assyrians and the Babylonians were God’s chosen instrument, for judgment.

Gods’ instrument certainly isn’t us. Our leaders in business scheduled 2 football games in sub freezing weather with high winds. 10 minutes exposure can bring on frostbite and people are crazy enough to go to these games. I’d rather watch 2 boxers beat the hell out of each other. At least they do it indoors.

We don’t need to follow. What gets me are the things people are willing to.

Men who stand in the Truth always project and support the policies that foment and foster true peace.

Men who foster and foment authoritarianism sell policies founded on lies to achieve their ends. Such men are, ultimately, violent men. Murderers, even. Warmongers. Of necessity, they have to use force and the threat of force and violence to retain power.

Compare the policy achievements of Trump vs. Biden.

Who is the man of peace? Who is the man of war?
It isn’t difficult, people.

The one thing I can say about that topic is that there are NO other candidates on either side who have God on their side.

What church leaders do is one matter. What God does is another. God always has His hand in it.

Folks, it is not all about Trump. We have work to do with everyone we encounter.

It will take a generation to change things.

On further reflection, are WE God’s chosen instrument?

Okay, we’ve heard prophecies from 3 dozen prophets. I asked the Lord to show ME, personally in a dream what was happening.
I dreamed the Scripture from Psalms 118.. THE STONE (DONALD TRUMP) THAT THE BUILDERS HAVE REJECTED, WILL BE COME THE CORNERSTONE.
Honestly, NO ONE normal, could withstand, stand up to all the criticism, legal battles, financial battles and stay in the fight like he has... I vote for a strong leader that is not swayed by the HERD. He will do what is RIGHT.

What about the evil people who are for him?
