In Trump, it seems that knowledge of the great responsibility he has been given has given him humility.
So it appears. Two terms President Trump. Two terms President Pence. It will be a very good start!
I remember when during the campaign he met with the black pastors and they reportedly prayed together and later they talked to everyone about this. They described Trump as being contrary to his image - humble. In the same gathering Trump himself said that he appreciated the black pastors support and then sort of added as an aside, and rather quietly, I’m not sure I deserve it.
I think the campaign and the responsibility and the faith we have in him to do something so important has changed him. And, I believe he was called.
And even more, a possible new invitation to King Jesus.
Oh my what a difference that would make.
Now I have to use sound theology here. Unless the elect are present, we won’t have such a revival.
But here’s where both history and scripture can offer a clue. There have been many revivals in the world, but one of note to me was in John Knox era Scotland, when at one point it was said “Christians are coming down from the skies.”
I honestly believe those stern Calvinists were so confident in the Lord’s power to arrange and predestine whatever He wanted, that they beseeched God to predestine them masses of the elect. And that God heard, honored their faith, and did just that.
I’m not saying everyone has to be a Calvinist (in fact, I technically may not be as I allow more dimensions of reality into the discussion), but they do need to have enough faith in God’s desires and omnipotence to realize that such a prayer makes sense, before being able to make it in the spirit that moves the Lord to grant it. Without faith we cannot please the Lord.
