My take on this whole thing is that it is a spiritual battle we are in. Donald Trump just happens to be the main character involved.
This whole issue ironically, is really not even about Trump. It is about the Liberal Left marching their way into the White House and taking over. When Trump was elected as president, their plans fell apart for continuing their momentum and strategy. And now they are vengeful and irate.
What is really ironic and concerning though, are the professing Christians who are doing the persecuting!
I was at someone's house, for example, and there were three of us talking about the new president and what he was actually trying to accomplish, when the owner of the house, who was selling produce in her garage, told us to be quiet. Shhhh. There wasn't time for an explanation, but a young woman was coming to pick up the produce she had ordered. It was time to change the subject, if you know what I mean.
But why is Donald Trump's presidency so perilous to the Liberal Left? There are some very important reasons I think, and will try to share.
1. Trump stopped the plans and momentum of the Left. This is what happened in a nut shell.
We have dropped the ball when it comes to standing up for the truth, as revealed in Scriptures. For example, if we were holding onto the Scriptures and walking in truth in the last 50 or so years, we would have been prepared to stop Madalyn Murray O'Hair when she brought her bogus case of 'separation of church and state' to the Supreme Court which resulted in prayer being taken out of schools. What happened when she was successful? Nothing. Professing Christians could have cared less. They went on with life as usual, not seeing the consequences of their apathy.
2. The Left has strategically placed their people in the White House over the years. Now that we have someone who is exposing them and even firing those who are suspicious, they are like bees whose hive has been disturbed.
3. The Left has successfully used the mainstream media to influence people to think a certain way, to follow their narrative. Sadly, this is where I believe some professing Christians have been deceived as well.
First, we should evaluate a person, not based upon opinions of others, although we can objectively look at those opinions and consider them. But if we want to get a true evaluation of someone, we really need to hear from that person himself, and not let others form our opinions on him. We need to watch and study the person and form our own evaluation.
I have had people respond to positive things I would say about Trump by sending me to a web page which incriminates him falsely. I would think that those who oppose Trump would be smart enough to make their own evaluations, but, I can tell that they formed their opinion of whether they would like him or not before they even knew anything about him. Because they chose to dislike him, they go along with what the mainstream media is saying about Trump. They are essentially joining in and condoning the slander against this man.
Years ago, I was involved in a church situation where slander destroyed the main leader's credibility. It started when one of the top leaders in this family of churches was not in agreement with what the other top leaders were bringing to the table. This man got out of the ministry, and basically stabbed the main leader in the back. He took some scenarios of situations in some of the related churches, and stretched out a story that made it look like the main leader was a sexual predator.
Articles were written by this former leader and sent to the Huffington Post, as well as other mainstream media avenues. Before long, the whole ministry fell apart. A couple of court sessions were brought about, involving this main leader, who was never found guilty on the charges brought against him.
But the relentless accusations didn't stop. I am sure they are still going on today. Anyone on social media is familiar with this story, and, will probably side with the side of slander, simply because we do not know any better unless we personally know the people involved and why this case came about in the first place.
This is a classic case where people tend to side with what they hear instead of trying to objectively and honestly look at both sides of the situation.
This is a spiritual battle and we have to ask ourselves, 'whose side are we on'? This is not a matter of Trump vs. Hillary. This battle necessitates our need to be discerning, so we can separate light from darkness, good from evil, right from wrong, and truth from error.
Are we going to hold onto our biases and end up siding with evil because we think it is more important to oust Donald Trump than it is to go along with his agenda to clean up the White House and secure our country from outsiders that intend harm? We are working against ourselves and what we really claim to believe in and hold on to, if it is more important to us to try to get Trump out of office than it is to get our nation back to reality.
If we want our country to be run by Snowflakes who have no clue of what the real issues are, then continue on agreeing with the Left about how bad Donald Trump is for our country. But if we want to do things right, then find those areas where we can support Trump and what he is trying to accomplish for this nation.
We need to stop being divided. When Obama was president, no one acted out scenes to murder him. We wanted him out of office, but to work against him with hate was not God's way of doing things. Why are we, who hold Biblical truths as precious, so eager to join in with the hatred of those who are opposed to the current president? We have a higher standard we hold to, and we have faith in a God who can do wonders, even in people who are corrupt.
God is still in the business of changing hearts that are open to Him.
