LET'S PETITION HEAVEN FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP

LET’S PETITION HEAVEN FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP

Quite candidly, it is easy to disparage, denigrate and disagree with the 45th President of the United States.  We need not list the obvious reasons, for they are painfully visible and well known to all who are willing to look beyond distortions of truth or propaganda.

Nevertheless, we have been mandated by our Creator to offer consistent and heartfelt prayer on behalf of Mr. Trump.  Here are some scriptural passages that will inform and inspire our intercessory endeavors:

I Timothy 2:1-3 
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.

II 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 will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Consider this.  Prayer requires spiritual discipline.  Even if one deems the attitudes and actions of our national leader to be unrighteous, or unjust, or even tantamount to those of an enemy of our citizenry (or segments thereof), the admonition of Christ is crystal-clear and applicable to all:

Matthew 5:43-45
You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Bottom-line: Let us pray sincerely for Mr. Trump, and for every other world leader.  Undoubtedly, we citizens are bonafide stake-holders – since our peace, prosperity, safety and security are definitely on the line.  My wife and I pray daily and fervently for this American president – for his soul’s salvation, for wisdom, for guidance, for balance…for his attitude, his decision-making, his integrity and his emotional stability.  Please join in with us and let’s take our national condition and concerns to the Throne of Grace.

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
