A DAVID MUSING GOD AND POLITICS DON’T MIX! With the end of the Trump Presidency we are clearly seeing, yet again, another, extreme example of Christians being taken in by a leader who is manipulating them for his own advantage. Even though they will deny it many, especially those of Pentecostal/Charismatic persuasion, who have placed President Trump next to God, primarily because he has supported many of the causes they are passionately interested in eg. abortion, support of Israel - and no gun control, although it has nothing to do with Christianity. By taking a conservative Christian viewpoint on these and many other issues, He was proclaimed as being from God, whom would certainly give him two terms. Many Christians idolized him and can’t believe that he could be beaten, other than by fraud. This has been amplified by the likelihood of the Biden/Harris policies being seen as ungodly, which many of them are. For many then, their objections are more related to fear of the incoming team’s policies, rather than the election itself. The supposed ‘Christian Prophets’ had almost unanimously, out of a human spirit, prophesied Trump’s return, as a matter of course, from their prospective, for the good things he had done. Here is an example of one, and the harsh reaction to him, who has now repented of his error….. Evangelical prophet Jeremiah Johnson said he’s now getting death threats from Christians after apologizing to his followers Thursday for “inaccurately prophesying” that President Donald Trump would win a second term. The most telling part however, has been the reactions of many Christians to his admission…… Johnson, who also called out Christians for their idolatry of the outgoing president, revealed in a statement on Facebook Sunday that the attacks have shown him that “parts of the prophetic/charismatic movement are far SICKER than I could have ever dreamed of.” “Over the last 72 hours, I have received multiple death threats and thousands upon thousands of emails from Christians saying the nastiest and most vulgar things I have ever heard toward my family and ministry. I have been labeled a coward, sellout, a traitor to the Holy Spirit, and cussed out at least 500 times. We have lost ministry partners every hour and counting,” said the leader of Jeremiah Johnson Ministries. “I have been flabbergasted at the barrage of continued conspiracy theories being sent every minute our way and the pure hatred being unleashed. To my great heartache, I’m convinced parts of the prophetic/charismatic movement are far SICKER than I could have ever dreamed of,” he explained. “I truthfully never realized how absolutely triggered and ballistic thousands and thousands of saints get about Donald Trump. It’s terrifying! It’s full of idolatry! If I helped to prop up this ideology concerning him, I will need to repent again and stir up even more hell.” His solution….. “Revival is never dependent upon who sits in the White House but rather who sits on the Throne in Heaven. I will continue to preach the Cross and the power of the resurrection. I will continue to help prepare the Bride to meet our Bridegroom,” he noted. “As we head into 2021, expect me to be more committed to the gospel and making disciples than ever before. By God’s grace I will walk in a greater measure of humility and repentance than ever before. I will learn from my mistakes and seek correction from Godly leaders always.” There are many other examples of where Christian parties have ended disastrously, and the reputation of Christians as a whole, has suffered immensely. In my home country of New Zealand, in more recent times, 2 Christian parties have formed and both have collapsed due to the sexual wrongdoings of the leader. The problem is, power corrupts – and absolute power corrupts absolutely!
