The Mandate – Isaiah 45

 

In 2015 the world as we know it was about to be turned upside-down and politics would be exposed by a most unlikely person, a man who has everything the world could offer. That man was Donald J. Trump traditionally supporting democrats he defied all logic by choosing to run for the office of President of the United States as a republican candidate.

 

I too was taken by surprise and feared this was simply a stunt to draw a larger audience to “The Apprentice” and I could not see this having anything to do with what God was about to do with the nation or throughout the world.

 

Christians throughout the nation and around the world have prayerfully and earnestly sought the Lord to change the course of the country. We have read and believed the stories of the bible that demonstrate the sinful nature of man and the faithfulness of Almighty God. The book of Revelations warns us that in the latter days there will be wars and petulance and earthquakes in diverse places, but there is no mention of America by name.

 

2 Chronicles 7:14 “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

 

But would God do it again in modern day America? I have no doubt that when we ask, God will exercise his will not as we want, but according to his perfect will. What was true back in “biblical times” is still true today. God will deliver us and only he knows the plans he has for us or the manner/people he will use to accomplish his purpose.

 

We ask believing and because God is faithful he sometimes surprises us in ways we can’t imagine or didn’t expect. We see from biblical scriptures that we are unique and wonderfully made. God has a plan for each person and it is evidenced by our birth. Even the lives of the unborn terminated through abortion have a purpose. What the so called experts fail to realize is that the world does not revolve around them. They are not the one who causes the sun to rise or the moon to shine or even the rain to fall.

 

What we have seen since the 2015 announcement at Trump Tower can only be the forces of evil rising up against the hand of God. Whether or not you believe that is irrelevant because God will prevail. When God calls we can respond or simply ignore the call. We often tell ourselves somebody ought to do something. In the case of Donald J. Trump he did not shy away, but responded by seeking confirmation and support through Christian pastors and leaders.

 

Those who do not know him were quick to attack his character, his family and as they do today his supporters. They underestimated his resolve and determination. They thought they could drive him away with their non-stop attacks. They could not know, nor would they believe he was to be “the wrecking ball to the spirit of political correctness” and his mandate is to stop evil.

 

Even today Christians and non-Christians ridicule, mock and continue to attack President Trump simply because of what they see on the news or on the internet and read in the print media. They attack his supporters and think that will drive them away from him. Some have said he is not Christian enough or Presidential enough or savvy in the ways of international negotiations. Trump has been blamed for everything in the world that goes wrong, yet failed to be credited when credit is justly due.

 

Running on campaign slogans of build the wall and drain the swamp few knew these were more than just slogans. American had been gripped in the political vice of correctness that suppressed the very spirit of God in our nation. Politicians have taken the verbiage of the Constitution, its meaning and purpose and used it for their own political gain and monetary enrichment at the expense of American citizens. Many who enter the halls of Congress become entwined in the “system” that the will of the people is totally lost to the lure and greed of politics.

 

During 2015 and well before the campaign season had begun a word from God declared that Donald J. Trump would be an Isaiah 45 President. He would not to be a preacher-president but a warrior-president in the likeness of King Cyrus.

 

Isaiah 45 English Standard Version (ESV)

 

Cyrus, God’s Instrument

45 Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus,
whose right hand I have grasped,
to subdue nations before him
and to loose the belts of kings,
to open doors before him
that gates may not be closed:
² “I will go before you
and level the exalted places,^[a]
I will break in pieces the doors of bronze
and cut through the bars of iron,
³ I will give you the treasures of darkness
and the hoards in secret places,
that you may know that it is I, the Lord,
the God of Israel, who call you by your name.
⁴ For the sake of my servant Jacob,
and Israel my chosen,
I call you by your name,
I name you, though you do not know me.
⁵ I am the Lord, and there is no other,
besides me there is no God;
I equip you, though you do not know me,
⁶ that people may know, from the rising of the sun
and from the west, that there is none besides me;
I am the Lord, and there is no other.
⁷ I form light and create darkness;
I make well-being and create calamity;
I am the Lord, who does all these things.

⁸ “Shower, O heavens, from above,
and let the clouds rain down righteousness;
let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit;
let the earth cause them both to sprout;
I the Lord have created it.

⁹ “Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,
a pot among earthen pots!
Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
or ‘Your work has no handles’?
¹⁰ Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’
or to a woman, ‘With what are you in labor?’”

¹¹ Thus says the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him:
“Ask me of things to come;
will you command me concerning my children and the work of my hands?^[b]
12 I made the earth
and created man on it;
it was my hands that stretched out the heavens,
and I commanded all their host.
¹³ I have stirred him up in righteousness,
and I will make all his ways level;
he shall build my city
and set my exiles free,
not for price or reward,”
says the Lord of hosts.

 

The Lord, the Only Savior

¹⁴ Thus says the Lord:
“The wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,
and the Sabeans, men of stature,
shall come over to you and be yours;
they shall follow you;
they shall come over in chains and bow down to you.
They will plead with you, saying:
‘Surely God is in you, and there is no other,
no god besides him.’”

¹⁵ Truly, you are a God who hides himself,
O God of Israel, the Savior.
¹⁶ All of them are put to shame and confounded;
the makers of idols go in confusion together.
¹⁷ But Israel is saved by the Lord
with everlasting salvation;
you shall not be put to shame or confounded
to all eternity.

¹⁸ For thus says the Lord,
who created the heavens
(he is God!),
who formed the earth and made it
(he established it;
he did not create it empty,
he formed it to be inhabited!):
“I am the Lord, and there is no other.
¹⁹ I did not speak in secret,
in a land of darkness;
I did not say to the offspring of Jacob,
‘Seek me in vain.’^[c]
I the Lord speak the truth;
I declare what is right.

²⁰ “Assemble yourselves and come;
draw near together,
you survivors of the nations!
They have no knowledge
who carry about their wooden idols,
and keep on praying to a god
that cannot save.
²¹ Declare and present your case;
let them take counsel together!
Who told this long ago?
Who declared it of old?
Was it not I, the Lord?
And there is no other god besides me,
a righteous God and a Savior;
there is none besides me.

²² “Turn to me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
²³ By myself I have sworn;
from my mouth has gone out in righteousness
a word that shall not return:
‘To me every knee shall bow,
every tongue shall swear allegiance.’^[d]

²⁴ “Only in the Lord, it shall be said of me,
are righteousness and strength;
to him shall come and be ashamed
all who were incensed against him.
²⁵ In the Lord all the offspring of Israel
shall be justified and shall glory.”

 

God saw the potential deep within the heart of the man while men saw only the past to condemn the present. When someone is on a mission ordained by Almighty God there is nothing under heaven or on earth that can stop him until that mission is completed. I caution the people and/or media that create, initiate or spread false witness in order to gain the favor of men for you will reap what you sow. Have you anything to say, let it be kind and uplifting or exercise your right to remain silent. Words bring life or death. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Under Attack From Within

 

When did the assault begin? Oh I’m sure there was division prior to the Revolutionary War as the Founding Fathers argued for or against separating themselves from Great Britain. Every step of the way America has fought for every decision made concerning the future of our nation. The Alamo stands as a testament to the bravery, courage and determination of the American spirit. The Civil War between the states pitted family members against family members, states against states and all fighting for the rights enumerated in the Constitution. The First World War was fought “Over There” and many left our shores to help fight the war to end all wars. The Second World War saw a rekindled hesitancy as our government did not want to become involved. Never the less Americans felt the call and went where the action was because it was the right thing to do. The attack on Pearl Harbor changed the course of our nation and awoke the sleeping giant. Foreign aggression in Korea threatened the entire region and the world and many nations answered the call. The Cold War swept across and divided Europe with a wall to keep people in and the outside world out. There have been many other conflicts across the globe and the one in Vietnam saw many victims to selfish and greedy ambitions. The world as we knew it forever changed on 9-11-2001 as the War on Terrorism, Iraq and Afghanistan began.

 

History remembers selectively that slavery was a huge amazing, yet necessary and at times an ugly part of the making of America. What history has forgotten is how the political climate after the Civil War fostered racial tensions that continue to resurge to this day. It is not taught, nor spoken about today that the Democratic Party immediately after the Civil War gave rise to the Klu Klux Klan and gross violations of the civil rights of slaves, not yet considered real Americans, but property such as livestock and cattle. What history has not taught us is that the first black legislators in Congress were Republicans.

 

I believe that it has been a concerted effort that began in the early 1960’s in the Kennedy Administration where the real conflict amid racial tensions began to play out in earnest. The events of the day were the protest by Rosa Parks; racial integration of Alabama schools; culminating in the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy and others. The stage was set with President Lyndon B. Johnson who said he would have blacks voting Democrat for the next 200 years. Events in Congress began with the creation of an all-black caucus that excluded all who were not. What we know as the Congressional Black Caucus has become the self-appointed “race police” to ferret out racial injustice in government. One of their first publicity stunts began with the boycotting Republican Presidents Nixon, Reagan, and the Bushes.

 

Emboldened by their continued success and increased black membership the CBC took it to new levels with the active resistance to President Donald Trump, his agenda, policies and administration.  Vocal CBC members such as Fredericka Wilson, Maxine Waters, John Lewis, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris and many others who called openly for the impeachment, imprisonment and even for death to President Trump have done so with impunity. I’ll have you know that this “Attack from Within” is unprecedented in American political history as Congressional Caucuses conspire, intimidate and coheres members of Congress to bend to their will they have reduced themselves to “Welfare Lobbyists” (taxpayer funded bullies) and DC swamp creatures who are the voice and action arm of the deep state.

 

President Lincoln quoted from the book of Matthew when he once said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand”

 

Matthew 12: 23 So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, it cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand. 26 And if Satan is divided and rises against himself, he cannot stand; his end has come. 27 Indeed, no one can enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can plunder his house.

 

Lincoln knew the importance of uniting together under one banner, one flag and worshipping one God especially when it wasn’t popular. The price he paid was assassination from what we call radical terrorism. We must not make that same mistake again. America has been called the sleeping giant and that is true in many respects. Our culture is in a constant state of change, yet the American spirit continues to flourish with patriotism and love for our country and our fellow man.

 

Today there is a new awakening taking place where it is no longer me, me, or all about me. The presidency of Donald Trump has given rise to new levels of tactical and domestic racism designed to divide this nation along racial and political party lines. Americans are seeing which party is promoting racism and division. They are seeing what party values them as individuals and not simply as votes to be taken at any cost. American voters are learning that they have value and today men and women of all racial and social economic backgrounds are finding a home in today’s Republican Party. Let me be clear this is not the perfect political party by far. There is no such party. However a party that stresses hard work, fair pay with affordable medical and medicines for everyone without regard to party affiliation has a certain appeal. I say listen up, tune out the fake news, ignore the naysayers and look for a way you can help someone else. Look for how you can make your slice of America better. Treat others the way you want to be treated and do not set yourself up as judge over anyone – only God sits on the Judgement Seat and we will all stand before him on the day of accounting! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Times of Trouble in America

 

I’m sure there are many who recognize and agree with me that America has been in trouble for quite some time. There has never been a time where we instantly see trouble in real time like what’s happening today across our nation. There are abortions, murders, killings, personal assaults and widespread destruction of property happening from sea to shining sea. So bad is it that we have become acclimated to the daily assaults through the media and from members of Congress that offer no relief, help or hope. If you watch the Democratic debates there are no viable solutions being offered, only doom and gloom in the days ahead? The outward effect has been their display of hate for each other and the marginalization of the very voters they turn away.

 

Today’s devotional asks “What Do You See During Times of Trouble?”

 

Referring to Acts 7:55-56 – “But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. ‘Look,’ he said, ‘I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.’”

 

I began thinking of today’s crop of politicians who constantly throw up roadblocks and obstacles in hopes of tripping up President Trump and hindering or obstructing his administration from moving forward or gaining ground with his domestic or foreign policy. In their eyes Trump is in big trouble.

 

It would be true if the man they see in the White House was the same man who craved for power and notoriety in New York social circles of yesteryear. If he was pursuing his own agenda and not that of a higher power, he would have stumbled over the logs and potholes hoisted in front of him at every turn.

 

President Trump has not been deterred by the bevy of betrayals, slanderous and hostile commentaries or even the unjust manner in which he has had to deal with over the past 3 years of his administration. In fact every obstacle had become a stepping stone. Every pothole becomes a mud-hole miring down those who push it as a narrative in front of him. Rather than focus on the obstacles, Trump adjusts, recalibrates and moves ahead with his eyes constantly on the end game – Making American Great Again!

 

One need only compare and contrast the Trump fan base with the competition to see that America has not seen its best days yet. When man places God and country ahead of himself, he has already won! When he treats a janitor as he does a CEO; shakes hands with a security guard and sincerely thanks our military and a veteran as Trump has done and continues to do – He will always have my backing and support!

 

I look forward to 5 more years of the Trump Presidency! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Democracy versus Democratic

 

Is it just me or does anyone else question democracy and in particular the Democratic Party? To the die-hard Democrat symbolism is everything. Don’t believe me? Look at the hammer and sickle being revived from the Soviet Union or the raised fist of European fascists or the Nazi symbol being reinvented in modern day America. Their rhetoric is aimed at central control by a government “of the people” without dissention or input from those to be governed. Also it must be noted that the inability of self-defense is a necessity in a democratically governed state.

 

We’ve all grown up knowing that people in China are governed by a Communist government keeping a tight rule on the everyday life of its citizens. What is broadcast on television and radio; how many children are allowed and even which gender is expendable or unacceptable; the internet is tightly controlled and dissention is met with force leading to death or imprisonment. The people of Taiwan have maintained independence from China, often at great expense and we see flare-ups happening as the Chinese government attempts to reign them in.

 

This scenario is replicated in places like the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) who insured the Communist government was instituted by hand picking the “Dear Leader” at the end of the hostilities of the Korean War. Venezuela is another example where the people suffer at the expense of government leadership and we’ve recently seen how that is playing out. Cuba has been that way since the days of President Eisenhower (after WWII) through today.

 

I wondered about how many types of democracies are there and on Google I find information this:

 

“The main forms of democracy are: Direct democracy, Representative democracy, Presidential democracy, Parliamentary democracy, Authoritarian democracy, Participatory democracy, Islamic democracy and social democracy.” https://www.scienceabc.com/social-science/different-types-democracy-direct-representative-presidential-parliamentary.html

 

Here is this definition of democracy found on Google:

 

The term “democracy” first appeared in ancient Greek political and philosophical thought in the city-state of Athens during classical antiquity. The word comes from demos, “common people” and kratos, “strength”. Led by Cleisthenes, Athenians established what is generally held as the first democracy in 508–507 BC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy

 

Democracy

Noun: democracy

A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives

“Capitalism and democracy are ascendant in the third world”

 

 

Similar:

Representative government

Elective government

Constitutional government

Popular government

Self-government

Government by the people

Autonomy

Republic

Commonwealth

 

Opposite:

Tyranny

Dictatorship

A state governed by a democracy?

 

Plural noun: democracies

“A multiparty democracy”

Control of an organization or group by the majority of its members

“The intended extension of industrial democracy”

 

Here’s a definition of Democratic

 

dem·o·crat·ic

/ˌdeməˈkradik/

 

Adjective: democratic;

Adjective: Democratic

Relating to or supporting democracy or its principles.

“Democratic reforms”

 

For all practical appearances the root word for democracy and democratic is demon and maybe that explains it all in a nutshell. It seems that there is no difference between democracy, democratic, mob rule or Muslim extremism. They all claim there is no peace without them, or they are the only way to peace. The road to peace in the Middle East and across the globe is paved with the blood of those who have gotten in the way of these waves called democracy, religion or Islamic fundamentalism. Without God there can be no peace.

 

Jesus said, “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.” – Matthew 24:6

 

I don’t understand what’s with the word “Democracy” or “Democratic”? How can anybody think they are a good thing? Look at what has happened in American politics. What have recent democratic policies or ideas done for the average American citizen? Has progressive liberal-democraticism enhanced your life one iota? I think not.

 

Have the public display of insane antics by liberal progressive congressional democrats over the past 3 years given one shred of hope to democratic voters or driven them by the droves into the open arms of conservative republicans? Are your personal finances going further? Is your community safer? Do you see the US economy booming?  Is there hope at the end of your tunnel, or is that just another train approaching? – I am the Real Truckmaster!
