MANY WELL-MEANING CHRISTIANS are aghast at the prospect of other Christians voting for Donald Trump for president. A year ago, I may have been one of those. No longer.
If you don’t know why a Christian would support Trump, it’s probably because you have not been paying attention to the political situation in America. With your permission, let’s take a moment to understand why a Christian would support Trump.
POLITICAL REASON TO VOTE TRUMP
There was a time in America when the political parties were clearly defined with different agendas, giving Americans a choice in voting. All that has changed in the past few decades with the morphing of the political parties into shades of dark and darker. The parties may still declare that they are different — they are not. America has been witnessing the Democratic Left pushing America off the cliff of no return: culturally, morally, financially. And the Republican Right, which used to fight the Left, tooth and nail, to prevent the leftist’s agenda weakening America, is allowing the Left carte blanche in America’s demise.
For instance, the Left, led by President Obama, pushed for amnesty for illegal aliens (with the ultimate goal of creating instant democrats!), and the Right, while appearing to oppose the move, just sheepishly followed their lead.
Obama imposed Obamacare upon Americans, though it was clearly a violation of the Constitution (though the Supreme Court, later, worked some unethical legal gymnastics in order to permit Obamacare), the GOP made nary a squawk.
Then in-between elections, pushing for more votes, the GOP promised to do away with Obamacare when elected. We gave the GOP the control of the House and Senate. But, again, the GOP refused to do anything about Obamacare once they were in power.
In the midst of this breakdown of trust between the public and the political class, there arose Americans who were clearly concerned about the direction of the nation and they rose up spontaneously across the land to form the Tea Party. Instantly, Obama sensing the opposition growing against his agenda, crushed them in the form of IRS harassment which aborted their growing opposition movement. Meanwhile, the Right saw the dismantling of the Tea Party — and while the Tea Party was comprised of Conservatives, supposedly the core base of the Republican Party — they did nothing to stop Obama’s silencing of these Patriots.
And what of those horrendous Planned Parenthood videotapes that came out, showing how casually PP sold baby body parts. Once again, against glaring evidence to defund, Congress closed their eyes and did nothing. And, in fact, the democrats brought charges against the filmmakers!
So the fix is in — no matter which party you support, they are actively working against the American people!
The America public has grown wary of elected politicians who are more intent upon gaining power and money than doing what is right for the American people.
So why would Christians vote for Trump? Because we’re not naive to think that American politics is anything but a cesspool of corruption with money greasing the palms of politicians.
A man like Trump comes along, using his own wealth and is not enslaved to the money-grubbing political machine, is immune to the mammon that controls other politicians. He doesn’t have to do their bidding! He doesn’t owe anyone anything. So, of course, Christians can vote for someone like that — gladly.
Do we wish that he might be more “Christian” in his rhetoric? Maybe, but if he’s going to bulldoze Washington politics, he better be forceful and not a milquetoast-mannered, politically correct do-nothing candidate — we have too many of those already in Washington. We need someone to shake up the system.
We understand you would like to see a Christian in office. And, yes, so would we. But how many times have we seen “good, upstanding, moral” candidates elected into office who go to Washington, who in their naivete think they’re going to make great changes for the nation, and then we’re shocked! — they become changed, they fall under the ruling influence. They begin talking and acting like the ruling class, totally forgetting the principles that elected them, and they begin working contrary to the voters who supported them. And, this happens all the time!
There are reasons why that happens, and that brings us to the spiritual component.
SPIRITUAL REASON TO VOTE TRUMP
Christians understand there are spiritual forces operating behind the scenes in the world. That applies, of course, to Washington, D.C.
Dark, spiritual forces are at work in both political parties. And, those forces are operating with greater intent to bringing this nation down.
These are the underlying causes of America’s present condition. The party establishment of both parties have placed shackles on our nation that prevents America from rebounding morally, culturally, and financially. These government elites are empowered by unseen, satanic forces operating within them because they’ve submitted themselves to satanic rituals and secret societies.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, surprisingly, fessed up and actually admitted the reason why Donald Trump is so loathed by the GOP establishment. In a recent O’Reilly Factor interview, Newt stated that Trump is not one of them, he didn’t go through the (Illuminati) initiation rites, nor does he belong to their secret societies. (See related article here.)
That admission — alone! — is sufficient to support Trump. If you want to support someone that is actually going to bulldoze the Washington establishment, then Trump is the man. There is no other candidate running for office that can do what Trump can do.
Trump is totally outside the controlling establishment and is not beholden to them, nor will he be pressured to submit to them. He’s not afraid of intimidation. You can’t outsmart him. He’s not PC, so you can say anything you want about him without him caring.
The donors that have influenced both parties to keep our borders wide open will have their heads returned to them on a platter, as Trump builds a wall.
These secret societies, in case you do not know, have influenced politics for decades and this entire system must be bulldozed to Kingdom come. The following video is from an Alex Jones program in which he confronted GOP Political Advisor David Gergen about his participation in a satanic ritual in the Bohemian Grove.
Radio show host Alex Jones got an exclusive interview with political adviser David Gergen about the satanic rituals that take place by our political leaders in attendance.
The fuel that keeps the political establishments operating is mammon. The word of God says, “the love of money is the root of all evil.” And that’s nowhere more apparent than in politics, from which many of the nation’s injustices originate.
That’s why the GOP establishment is resistant to Trump because he can’t be bought off. That’s why only a Trump presidency can bulldoze through the entrenched political machine and make decisions based on common sense and what protects Americans, not on party politics, donors, political correctness or any other nonsense.
If you think “only if a Christian was in the White House” things would be better. No. You can’t build a edifice on a corrupt foundation. The scriptures also cite, “you cannot put new wine in old wineskins.” You need to first remove the faulty foundation before you can build America anew.
If God can use Cyrus, a non-Israelite, to resist political oppression over the Jews and to, essentially, free them from captivity, God can use Trump to bulldoze the Washington establishment and free the Americans from political captivity.
Plus, his presidency overrides the political spirit because he’s not controlled by their money! (Personally, we feel that this act in the physical will actually “loose” in the spirit the transfer of wealth for God’s people for Kingdom end-time harvest work. But that’s another matter and another article.)
Can you now accept the premise that Christians who support Trump have valid reasons?

So potty mouth adulterous Trump is the one who is to combat dark spiritual forces? Dark cannot drive out dark, only light can.

If I hire someone to bulldoze the drug cartel’s operating facility, it doesn’t matter what he believes, so long as he does the job. And, in essence, Trump can perform that task by finally pushing through the establishment gates to becoming president. And that very act alone qualifies his superiority over the entrenched, corrupt political machine.

Obama will not finish his second term. This will scare millions! Current Events Linked to Ancient Biblical Prophecy!

Josip, pray against it! I want to speak to all who think we can’t do anything to stop evil — even evil that has been prophesied! You have power to derail the enemy’s tactics. That’s why you’re here on the earth at such a time as this. That’s why you’re given authority to loose and bind. Christianity is not a spectator sport. The Kingdom of God suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Will you take things by force and upturn evil in the name of Jesus?

He may get saved, we should all be praying for this and for true salvation for all our leaders. We need to be on our knees to the Lord to reveal HIs Truth an His will

Don’t limit God. He used a Donkey to rebuke Balaam {Numbers 22:28} Let’s be careful with any self righteous judgements. Trump may well be Americas last best hope, especially considering if Hilary gets in there …

Donald Trump is the Light.
Common sense people world wide see the Light he shines.he is the truth,Authentic.UK supports #Trump for President of the U.S.A then the World.

Your argument sounds more culturally conservative than Christian.
Lou Comunale
I guess at the time that non-Israelite Cyrus came to rescue the Jews from their captivity, there were some who criticized those who welcomed the non-Israelite from rescuing them. I can hear them saying, “Oh, do you REALLY think that a non-Israelite could help us in any way?!”

In response to this article, I would like to say I am a born again Christian who moves in the prophetic and have no doubt about my choice or God’s in this election. Christians’ angst against Trump is due to a misguided view of who Christ is. Christ was offensive, Christ angered the relious political structure of the day and was ultimately crucified for it.
God wants us to be more like Trump. Confident in our message and positive about winning! Many Christians take the role as victim, we need someone to say the right things to us. To make spiritual love to us from the pulpit with pastorial legislation. They like Ted Cruz because he burrows us into a mind numbing religiousity. We crave this lip service in order to justify our victim mentality. Donald Trump is no victim and neither was Christ and neither are we.
Let’s get one thing straight…I’m TIRED of hearing the King Cyrus comparison. Why not King David..murderer, adulterer, lustful, but still loved and favored by God. ( If he were running today for president, I doubt Cruz supporters would vote for him!) Who are we to say in his heart, Trump is not one of us? I’ll defend one of the examples Christians are using against Trump. “Not asking God for forgiveness!!!” Trump said that while he hasn’t asked God for forgiveness, he does participate in Holy Communion. Here is what he said….“When I drink my little wine — which is about the only wine I drink — and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed,” he said. “I think in terms of ‘let’s go on and let’s make it right.’” I THOUGHT FINALLY SOMEBODY GETS FORGIVENESS, the meaning of His shed blood. So, many people BEG for forgiveness from God for their imperfections and outright sins. Since when has God asked us to BEG? We simply take his BODY and BLOOD and it’s done. Just like the Catholic church insists on the falsehood that we must have the intermediary of a priest for forgivess, we, when begging, place OURSELVES into the equation between GOD and our forgiveness. I applaud Trump’s simple Christianity. NO big words, no complicated BS just get the job done in a straightforward, uninhibited fashion. How much more simple is forgiveness than PARTAKING of the Body and Blood of our SAVIOR?

As a born again Christian, like Gemma (a previous commenter), walk in a prophetic gifting. I would like to challenge the readers’ concept of what a Christian really is. Christianity is not having the “right ” set of rules. We have a myriad of denominations doing that very thing and challenging each other’s lists.
Christ came with Grace and Truth as a simple and loving gift of the sacrifice of himself for our sins. When we receive that gift, we are washed clean as though we had never sinned. We as believers have that advocate, and when we “CONFESS our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.” Who, of anyone commenting here, has the right to say that Donald Trump has not done this? In the book of Isaiah (chapter 11?) there is a scripture that states that there is one coming who does not judge by the sight of the eyes or by the hearing of the ear, but judges righteously. By using the analogy of King Cyrus, you infer that Trump is outside the body of Christ.
I, too, like Trump’s simple childlike (yes, childlike) Christianity. He may not thump his Bible and talk about it, but he forthrightly walks forward in it. Do you realize that Trump was raised in Norman Vincent Peale’s church? Have you ever read the book Pastor Peale wrote, THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING ? I’m reading it. It’s an amazingly positive book where faith in God and the redemption of Christ are the foundation for life. Trump lives this, and talks this book in every campaign speech. His success was built on it!
Personally, I take more issue with a candidate who proclaims blatantly to being a Christian, and then conducts his campaign in an unethical and untruthful manner over and over again. I have to ask myself, “Would Jesus act like this?” I take even more issue with that candidate and his wife’s well-documented close involvement with the Bushes and their New World Order and North American Alliance plans, and the implications of these plans on Christians for the future.

Most of the illegal Mexicans actually vote Republican following the Pope’s endorsement. President Obama has deported MORE Mexican illegals than any US president. EVER.

Hillary has spent her entire political career or 30+ years working for the basic principals of Christianity, advocating for poor family’s and working people regardless of race or political belief (her personal ethics are a different story I completely agree).
Trump is an extremely vile man both personally and professionally. He’s a New Jersey casino owner with a 30 year record clearly demonstrating frightning morals, values and a total lack of character.
He’s not interested in a Christian agenda in any way. He brags about his successes from dishonoring contracts and paying creditors pennies on the dollar and promises to do the same for America. Well guess what that “Contract with America” the Republican Party made is going through the shredder along with promises he makes to get your vote.
Please do as much reading as you can on his past and lean who you’re dealing with.
Lou Comunale
Well, John, you should know by now that practically whatever Obama says is not true. The Obama administration is lying again — like they lied before: “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.”
The Obama administration are masters at deception. In order to make it seem like Obama is actually doing something good for the economy, the Jobless Labor statistics do NOT include the ones who have given up looking for work. THAT’S how they can get the numbers down to the 5% to 7% range.
In the same way, when the Obama administration says that “Obama has deported more illegals than any other president,” again that is another lie. In fact, just like in the jobless numbers, the Obama administration has CHANGED the way we classify deportations. NOW, they classify “deportations” as anyone being refused entry at the border! No previous presidency has factored those figures into deportation numbers.
But Obama is a master of deception. I hope truth and the facts matter to people today.
