Proverbs 4:5 (KJV)
Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
I repeat myself: I am neither Democrat nor Republican; I am registered No Political Affiliation, and I like it that way. However, I am on record as one who votes Republican and I am not pleased with the options I am seeing right now.
I am not one who thinks Donald J. Trump deserves to be President because of the last election. As a Christian I believe no one can save American and God can use anyone to take this nation in the right direction. I was hoping to see, in Trump, a level of maturity and humility that comes with understanding. President Trump knows politicians are how manipulative and deceptive we know how successful he, Trump, was as President in representing the people despite their actives. Clearly, he did know how devious they were; dare I say demonic?
As he campaigns, I only listen to snippets of his speeches, he speaks of his past successes; yesterday is gone. Perhaps it is important to remind some individuals of what he has done. If we are to remember his successes then we will also have to examine his failures, which include his putting people in office who have subsequently turned against him including Pence, and his accepting the “you know what” protocol which shut down the country and cost many people their jobs.
What really bothers me, regarding President Trump, is his continued name calling of his opponents and even his recent parody of Biden; so immature. I think the “I” speeches as I call them and the name calling are what really leads me to not really care for him.
Vivek Rammaswammy has been a breath of fresh air, Republicans would be wise to listen to him. I have listened to quite a few of his speeches and interviews- he makes sense. He is Hindu, I know God can use anyone and the U.S.A. is in this world not part of the Kingdom of God; something to think about. He has a lot of ideas but he is young, not only in age but in experience. Vivek lacks wisdom.
I like DeSantis, he may be influenced by large doners however he has an understanding of the way things work politically. And I also believe he has a moral compass, his faith will restrain him. I think his biggest hurdle is most Republicans are determined to have Trump save American.
And another thing Trump believes banning abortions after six weeks is a mistake! Huh?
Proverbs 3:5-7 (KJV)
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
I can never remember he name. Haley, Nikki Haley former U.N Ambassador. Some people think we should have a woman as th next President, I think we need someone qualified. She is smart and female and if she were to win, I think she would be over her head.
Now, Senator Tim Scott is Black thus he gets recognition for that. Larry Elder, a Black man, is also running for President but he is to intelligent and has to much integrity (I think) for the Republican National Committee to even recognize his candidacy. No one really expect Tim Scott to win but he may get a cabinet post.
I have never heard of North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and I was not impressed when I watchted the debate, the first one. Which makes it easier to not feel bad about ignoring Chris Chistie and Mike Pence the two “I hate Trump” candidates.
The good news, The Democrats are worst off than the Republicans. Their list of potential candidates, especially since Kennedy plans on switching to Independent. If Kennedy becomes an independent I suspect both Republicans and Democrats will support him because Trump fatigue is a very real issue for those of us who are not riding the Trump choo-choo train.
I firmly believe America is in the middle of a spiritual battle. This is not about who will become President but getting the church to come back to living as God has commanded his children to live.
2 Chronicles 7:12-18 (KJV)
12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;
18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
