As stated in my last article, the upcoming election (November 3rd, 2020) is the most important election we will face in this nation. At the least, it is the most important in the last 160 years. Who will win the election? Who will be the next President of the United States of America?

In order for President Trump to be re-elected, he will have to defeat:

Democrat (Socialist) Party

A few RINOs (Republican in Name Only)

Most of the news media

Social media

Most of the entertainment industry

Apostate churches

Foreign interference

Et al

It seems that conservatives and true Christians are a minority in this country, until we consider that one on God’s side is a majority. Against all odds, Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election against Hillary Clinton, supposedly a sure shoo-in. God, and no other, gave us four years of His grace. Now the question burns in our brains, “Will God allow us another four years of grace?”

Let us not forget that some of the Senate races are probably just as important. Just two examples: Mitch McConnell vs. Amy McGrath in Kentucky and Lindsey Graham vs. Jaime Harrison in South Carolina are two races of utmost importance. If Mitch McConnell and/or Lindsey Graham lose, it will not be good for the American people even if President Trump is re-elected.

If Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win this upcoming election and the Republicans lose the Senate majority, the conservatives in this country will never again regain any semblance of control. Even now, many laws have been broken, and no one has had to answer for their crimes against this nation.

My prayer is that God will once again, even more miraculously, intervene and keep the enemy at bay another four years for the sake of the millions of us who are against everything the Democrat Party stands for, such as its total hatred for God Himself.

God says in Romans 1:24-25 that we have become so corrupt He has given us over to our own sinful desires. We are heaped in decadence and despise the Truth. Humanism (love of self), materialism (love of money) and hedonism (love of self) are our lifestyle.

“Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.”

God says in Romans 1:26-27 that we still have not repented and have become even more corrupt. Since we prefer the sewers of perverted sexual practices, He has pulled back His hand of protection again and left us to our own sins.

“Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”

God says in Romans 1:28-32 that we have reached a point of no return. Our hearts have become so black with sin, there is no evil we would shun. Therefore, He has allowed us to hang ourselves with our own corruption.

“Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”

Each time God has backed off and allowed us to crawl deeper into our cesspool, and we have willingly obliged. If these verses don’t describe us to a T, then please tell me what does. We have gone well beyond God’s judgments of Romans 1:24-32. We have embraced every vile act known to man, and there is no end in sight for our degree of corruption. Our judgment as a nation is just as certain as it was for Babylon in the days of Daniel.

Barack Obama is the most anti-God president this nation has ever had, but if Kamala Harris (I mean Joe Biden) becomes president, the gloves are off. The coup already in motion will be accelerated to the point we won’t even recognize this country as the one our forefathers established.

When reading about the people of Judah being taken off to Babylon as slaves because of their sins against God, one thing sticks out in my mind, and that is that the innocent always suffer with the guilty. I’m sure there were some in Judah who were faithful to God bedsides Jeremiah and Baruch, but regardless, the innocent suffered right along with their evil leaders.

However, there is one thing that I am absolutely certain of, and that is that God’s will, will be done. If He wants President Trump to continue four more years, it will happen, and there is no group that can stop it. On the other hand, if our Lord’s will is to allow the Democrats to have their way, it will be done. Whichever way it goes, it will go the way God has decided.

“Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the LORD and against his anointed, saying, “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.” The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain” (Psalms 2:1-6).

That King on Zion (in verse six) is none other than Jesus Christ, and His will, will be done.

Yes, I do pray that God allows President Trump to win the election. He stands for conservative values, and he is the only president in my memory who has actually kept his word and done exactly what he promised. That is so unusual because we commonly just accept that all politicians are born with a “forked-tongue,” except he isn’t a politician, which is a breath of fresh air.

As I have indicated previously, forget about politicians and political viewpoints. The real issue is about this nation’s rejection of the one true God, Jesus the Messiah. We are being judged as a nation, and it is going to get much worse, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel for us individually, and that Light is Jesus Christ. The following Scripture enlightens us to seven things God hates.

“These six things the LORD hates,

Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:

A proud look,

A lying tongue,

Hands that shed innocent blood,

A heart that devises wicked plans,

Feet that are swift in running to evil,

A false witness who speaks lies,

And one who sows discord among brethren” (Proverbs 6:16-19).

These are not the characteristics of a child of God, but they are a very clear picture of us as a nation. Every leader and every nation that has fallen on their knees before God has been blessed. Every leader and every nation that has picked a fight with God has been crushed in their rebellion. We are no exception. Our pride will be our downfall.

But back to the individual … you and me. We can have joy in our hearts with Jesus in our life. We can have a home in Heaven that awaits us if Jesus is our Lord. Maybe, just maybe, our Lord will provide four more years of grace for those who love Him. If not, that’s okay. We will be blessed anyway as He walks by our side.

A coup is a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government. It is also called a coup d’état. A few synonyms for a coup are: overthrow, takeover, ousting, revolution, insurrection, mutiny, insurgency and rioting.

The United States of America is neck deep in a coup by the Democrat party to take total control of our country. This election of November 3^rd, 2020, is the most important election this country has ever faced. At the very least … the most important in 160 years.

The following is a SHORT list of liberal, far left, Democrat objectives (in alphabetical order):

Abortion

Continued murder (butchering) of babies, even after they are born

Border Wall

Removing border wall between USA and Mexico

Churches

Continued and intensifying harassment of our churches and pastors

Deviant Sexual Laws

Think homosexuality, transgenderism, open restrooms to both sexes

Environmental Laws

Elimination of coal, oil, fracking

Filibuster

One-party control of Congress

Guns

Attack on the second Amendment

Health Insurance

Private insurance replaced with government-controlled insurance with penalties

Israel

Forsaking the best friend (as a country) we have and the apple of God’s eye

Lying

Continued deception (telling us what we want to hear and doing the opposite)

Police

Little to no police protection

Retirement Accounts

Government confiscation of private accounts

Supreme Court (packing the Court)

One-party control

Taxes

Up, up and up

Violent Mobs

Mob rule and little to no police protection

Voting Corruption

Continued … to retain one-party rule (think Russia, China, etc.)

President Trump is not perfect (raise your hand if you are), but God is using him to retain some sanity in this country and to provide us more time to repent prior to His judgment.

President Trump has kept his promises even throughout nearly four years of constant harassment by the Democrat party. John and Robert Kennedy would turn over in their graves if they could see how anti-America their party has become.

This coming election is not about Democrat vs. Republican. It is about some sense of continued freedom for the American people versus satanically inspired people who want to totally control our lives.

I honestly don’t see how any true born-again Christian can support any of the items I have listed above. That said, voting Democrat is showing support for all of these items and more. Granted, some are more important than others as a Christian; i.e. abortion, churches, deviant sexual laws, Israel, etc. Even the other items shown are critically important because they will determine what happens to us spiritually and as citizens.

Every Christian should join Franklin Graham in praying for our country. We are at a crossroad that will determine the fate of our existence as free Americans.

Jeremiah kept warning Judah over and over and over again, but they would not listen. Their problem in Jeremiah’s day was their rebellion against God. We too are in rebellion against God, and He has been warning us that we need to repent and turn to Him.

God allotted us extra time by allowing President Trump to win the election in 2016. I can’t judge President Trump as to whether or not he is a man of God, but he has been placed here by God for such a time as this. God will install whomever He wishes as leader of a nation and use them for His purpose. God used Nebuchadnezzar to bring down judgment on Judah. He used Cyrus to liberate His people and to rebuild the temple. He used Alexander the Great to assure the Bible be written in koine Greek. He used President Harry S. Truman to recognize Israel as a new nation on May 14, 1948, even against much opposition.

Now is the time to pray that God is still willing to continue His use of President Trump and Vice President Pence to protect us from the wolves at the door. Let us clearly understand that God isn’t interested in our “keeping up with the Joneses.” He is interested in our repenting and turning to Him. He wants our worship, not our sharing Him with other gods in our lives.

My wife and I pray about this situation almost daily, but we always close by saying “Your will be done.” We pray that if it is God’s will that evil be allowed to have its way (Romans 1:24, 26, 28), that He just see us through it.

If the Democrats are allowed to succeed next month, I’m even more convinced of the shortness of the hour. America is not a major player during the Tribulation. Therefore, we must fall from our perch. Could Democrat success at the polls be the beginning of our downward slide of national importance? I think so.

The next event on God’s calendar is first removing His Church (Rapture) from the earth prior to His judgment, and then the Tribulation will follow. When these two events will happen, I haven’t a clue, but I do realize we are in the season of our Lord’s return. How long is a season? I don’t know, but this I do know: my ears are tuned to the call, “Come up here.”

My prayer, and I’m sure yours too, is that many, many more will come to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord before these events take place. Jesus tells us to pray for our enemies. When I think of this, I can see the faces of so many who are filled with hate for all that is of God. I see the faces of those who seek to destroy our Constitution and thereby our country. Should we pray for them? Most definitely, “Yes!” They are just sinners who need to repent and be saved. All of us are sinners, except some of us are saved sinners.

No true Christian would want anyone to experience God’s judgment, even though we know most will not repent. The Bible is very clear about the seven years just prior to Jesus’ return to earth. It isn’t pretty at all. The Tribulation will be the most horrible time the earth has ever experienced. Even though we can read about it in God’s Word, we can’t imagine just how hellish it will be.

There is definitely an attempted coup taking place in this country, but the real problem is our rebellious heart as a nation against God. In my opinion, judgment is coming on us as a nation, but there is a sure hope for us individually in Jesus Christ. Let us pray for our country. Let us pray for our president and those who assist him. Let us pray for our enemies. Let us pray that hearts will be softened and be saved.

Every Christian needs to understand the book of Revelation. It, and other books that support it, tell us in very explicit language what is ahead for this world. As a Christian, you will see the urgency for others to be saved.

God told Israel in Deuteronomy 28 that they would be blessed for obedience (verses 1-14) and they would be cursed for disobedience (verses 15-68). No other nation has a covenant with God except Israel, BUT we would be wise to carefully listen in on that announcement and heed His words.

God has blessed us as a nation because we honored Him. However, we no longer do so; we show every day our contempt and hatred for Him. The Democrat party doesn’t even want His name mentioned at their convention. This country is sinking like the Titanic, and the Democrat party is sabotaging the life boats. I just pray God’s patience hasn’t run out, especially for the sake of so many who are goose-stepping their way toward hell.

As a nation we are circling the drain. Will God intervene again as He did in 2016? We’ll know soon enough.

“Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him” (Psalm 33:8).

“The LORD looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men;
From His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
He who fashions the hearts of them all,
He who understands all their works” (Psalm 33:13-15).

“Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope for His lovingkindness,
To deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us,
According as we have hoped in You” (Psalm 33:18-22).
