God using Donald Trump to wake up America, says Christian faith speaker
christiantoday.com ^ | Andre Mitchell

Posted on 08/09/2015 9:46:58 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

For a Christian faith speaker, however, Trump is serving as an instrument of God and a modern "prophetic voice" to wake up America, which some prominent pastors have described as having strayed from Christian values.

In an editorial published on Charisma News, Os Hillman, president of Marketplace Leaders, said Trump was sent by God "to uncover the veil of the current political leadership and culture in America."

Hillman, who is an internationally recognised speaker on the subject of faith at work, said Trump is exposing the morally corrupt ways of America's current leaders.

"Trump is articulating what we all felt was under that veil—deception, lying, lack of accountability and pandering to what is politically correct. Trump is seeking to represent something that is the exact opposite," the Christian faith speaker said.

He also accused current political leaders, particularly US President Barack Obama and leading Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, of only taking a stand on issues to please the public, no matter how immoral that position is.

Hillman, an author of 14 devotional books, said the current political culture has already developed leaders who will "be politically correct even at the expense of moral behavior."

The Christian speaker and author believes that God is trying to change this culture through Trump.

I saw this. Didn't want to post because people here go nuts if something doesn't conform with "their" version of religion.

But I showed my wife and we noted that Moses was a murderer, Paul authorized murders, David was an adulterer, Peter a braggart and a liar . . . but somehow God couldn't use Trump because he's had divorces or something?

There’s also David.

God is not confined to only using Christians to achieve His purpose and His will. That doesn’t necessarily mean I support Trump or that Trump will be presidents, but God certainly can use him.

I think this is a harbinger of things to come.

Americans are more incensed than I knew. People really do know that if they don't take action, this country is gone (taking a big chunk of Christianity with it).

He declared bankruptcy. The horror!

I read elsewhere that there are some among charismatic Christians who perceive Trump as the modern equivalent of Cyrus, that he will be like a bull in a china shop but that in doing so he would pave the way for a Christian resurgence. It’s quite possible, though if God were to ask my opinion :-) I would suggest a better solution would be Ted Cruz as David to restore the kingdom after the King Saul of BHO.

I’m glad you posted this. God is fulfilling a grand design that my finite mind cannot fathom. I guess the answer is yes. He controls it all. There really are no coincidences, which brings up the question: Is God dealing with Donald personally rather than the whole nation?? Laugh if you want but “it is not His plan that even one should perish...”

And later on, Paul in 1st Cor. said, “We have wronged no man,” after holding the coats for the mob that stoned Stephen.

Paul was right, by the way. It was Saul who held the coats. It was born again Paul who wrote the epistle.” Saul’s stoning involvement was under the Blood of Christ, and hidden forever.

I don’t pretend to know Trump’s faith or lack of it (too many people presume to know that about too many others). All I know is if God can use a Persian, heathen king (Cyrus), who did what God told him, then I think anyone is capable of listening to marching orders.

He has NEVER declared personal bankruptcy. He has used the bankruptcy laws to reorganize a business and salvage it from a financial problem. Those laws are there for ALL to use.

There is a food market chain in the east, SUPER FRESH. That is just the latest iteration of a business which was once A&P or Food Fair back in the 60s, and has gone through numerous Chapter 11s and been renamed each time it reopened for business.

I think Trump amazingly bitch slapped the whole Uniparty cartel when he reminded them that THEY have run the Federal Government all but $19 TRILLION into debt. And that is not even counting the STOLEN Social Security Fund, which LBJ pulled off, or the incalculable UNFUNDED LIABILITIES that face the gubmint through pensions, supporting layabouts and gimmedats, etc., ad infinitum.

I think The Donald is God’s AMAZING answer to the prayers of many millions of despairing Americans. Trump doesn’t need anyone’s money. He makes a pit bull look timid. He faces his nitpicking detractors like a Daniel or a David.

I think God is going to use Trump to turn the Country around Constitutionally and Financially. Then, I understand there is a great Christ-centered Revival coming. One name I’ve heard mentioned recently is Reinhard Bonnke, a German evangelist who has been all over Africa, holding yuuuuge outdoor meetings. He’s coming to America. Google Reinhard Bonnke.

While using Donald to salvage our Nation, he’s going to bring Trump into close relationship with Homself, like he did Abraham Lincoln.

"...He’s going to bring Trump into close relationship with Himself, like he did Abraham Lincoln..."

It is eternal life, after all, that is paramount. All else pales in importance.

We thought America woke up at 9/11 but it didn’t. Instead it put a muslim brother in TWICE as POTUS.

I do believe with all my heart that GOD is lifting up a man for this time, I think many many Christians have been praying the very same thing.

I believe we are seeing that man in this currant election. I believe that Trump is opening that avenue to bring back the America we once were. CRUZ is also one of those men.

Your assessment and POV are CORRECT>

I believe there are MANY who share the same view.

I also believe WE WILL PREVAIL.

I also believe we WILL PREVAIL.....it is our time and we will take it back with the WILL OF GOD. HE is faithful to answer the prayers of the Righteous, if there are enough of us left and I believe there is. It’s now or never.

(snip)

People keep asking what they can do because they see that none of their leaders are doing anything to stop the demise of their beloved country. It’s the right question, because those leaders are NOT going to stop this thing.

(Snip)

Who will save freedom?

A brave few… This is how it was in the beginning, how it has always been and how it will be.
