God’s will be done. That is what we pray right? THY kingdom come, THY will be done – I’m pretty sure it’s not MY kingdom come, MY will be done. There has been more prayer, more rallies, and more fasting for this Presidential race than any in current history and yet the Republican candidate was not elected. Is it possible that you - Evangelical church were wrong and that God is right? Because if not, then that sounds like you are god - not Jehovah. His ways are higher than our ways and we can’t possibly know all the reasons behind His divine plans, but our pride and arrogance is glaring brightly in the face of this loss. I personally have not heard one evangelical pastor, leader, or prophet publicly talk about the fact that the Lord’s will may not be for Donald Trump to be president. God may still intervene to expose corruption or He may not. But it has to be the Lord’s will not our will. Our hope is in Christ. Fight for the name and cause of Christ and let Him do whatever He wills.How could this presidential loss possibly be better for the church or for America? I don’t know - how did persecution affect the early church? Did suffering stop the apostle Paul? How did Jesus suffering and death make a difference anyway? We preach Christ crucified – foolishness to the Greeks and a stumbling block to the Jews. When did we get the idea that God’s plan was always to win? Isn’t it about the final victory not about the here and now? It is tough for you to kick against the goads. Now you have the option to fight and kick and cheat to try and get your way or to repent in dust and ashes like we need to in America and the church anyway. God was always our only hope. Repentance is our only chance at victory – not a political candidate or a Supreme Court justice. Do you still not see your trust and hope in man instead of in God?
I’m not saying that everything is great and that times of refreshing are right around the corner without repentance. But I am saying that God is in control and that this is exactly how He has ordained it to be for whatever reason for this period of time. Submit to Him and His purposes and deal with our failure to uphold the church and America over the past 50 years. Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand! Act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with the Lord and then you will see your victory. The transition has begun - moving away from the age of the church to the kingdom age and the sooner that you come in alignment with God’s plans the better. Jesus said, “my kingdom is not of this world”. Our weapons are not fleshly but spiritually powerful for the breaking down of strongholds not governments. Do you want the land or the kingdom? Because if you want the land then you are not acting much different then Jesus’ disciples who didn’t understand His mission to go to the cross. THY kingdom come; THY will be done.
