Dear friends,
We don’t serve men… we serve a God in heaven who knew the outcome of this presidential election before the first vote was cast. And we’re living in this particular time for a reason… God wouldn’t have put us here in this moment in history if He didn’t have a purpose for us.
God knows our hearts and He knows our strongest desire is to save His children from the sin of this nation, but God’s plan for us is not an easy road. If it were easy we wouldn’t have been forged in the fire for this great battle. We’ve been prepared for the days to come and we must be thankful. We need to rejoice because God is the victor – not a politician (Republican or Democrat).
How much sweeter is the victory when every path of escape, but God, has been closed off? When all hope is lost and our enemies surround us – that’s is when our eyes must turn toward heaven and remember where our salvation is assured.
God in heaven – eternal and undefeated.
The final vote will be cast by God – and His vote is the only one that matters.
“The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.” – Proverbs 21:1
You, unlike so many tonight, have good points.
Thank you for sharing this email. Yes, God is the final vote and he has put all of us who serve Him here for a reason. Believers must all bend a knee and thank the Lord for his divine providence and rest on the promise that he will protect his own. Let us not forget that the final vote was: Jesus Christ. Amen
the Lord has turned His face from us this day , leaving the last great hope of present day planet Earth to the hyenas and the jackals.
thanks - I needed that.
Amen
God will not save that upon which so many have turned their backs: America and its founding principles.

This is our punishment for gay marriages, abortions by the thousands and immorality everwhere. God told us the consequences of our faithlessness in Deuteronomy.........
As Billy Graham noted:
“If God doesn’t punish America, He owes Sodom an apology.”
Well, for all of you who believe you’re exempt from earthly trials and tribulations, get ready for:
Energy shortages and very high prices.
Healthcare shortages and higher prices.
Economic collapse as businesses shrink.
Charities close, because gov’t doesn’t want them competing with their vote buying programs.
Wonder whether all of the anti-Mormon bigots, will recognize any of the above impacts?
There were good and holy people in ancient Israel who watched their leaders worship idols and turn from the God of Heaven and they watched Israel fall and be taken away into captivity because of their leaders great sin. America has lost a majority of truly christian people who vote and live their lives with christian conviction and principal, and America will now suffer from the choices of the unholy alliance that voted today. Get ready for a bumpy ride. Game over man, game over, end of story!
Sorry...the Lord didn’t desert US....we deserted HIM!!! We have allowed God to be KICKED out in this country and He has removed His hand of GRACE!!
God will save all who put their faith in his grace. Nations and empires come and go, but souls are eternal.
Thank you for sharing this!
This much and more is certain: God is still on His throne, He is Sovereign over all, and He has NOT abandoned us! If we are despondent over an election, shame on us. Perhaps this is His severe mercy in bringing us to a place where we are forced to place our trust in Him, and not on a specific person for president.
“Put not your trust in princes,
in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation....
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God....
THE LORD WILL REIGN FOREVER.”
(Excerpted from Psalm 146)
Amen!
Thank you Truthsearcher for the post.
I myself will NOT give up.
I will be strong through 4 more years of this president, I respect the office but not the holder of the office.

Nations rise and fall. Empires crumble to dust. The lives of men are like the wheat of the fields, growing and then being scythed away.
The nation we love is all we know, but before the United States rose, God was. After it falls, God will be God still.
God has surely turned his face from this nation for the moment, since so many of our people are lost to depravity, materialism, license, and cruelty. So many think that the murder of His children is their right, in shocking defiance of God’s will in creating that life.
We are anguished to be living in a time when our beloved land is trampled, her moral beauties raped. The Devil of hell laughs at this injustice, and he laughs more when we despair. But His ways are not our ways, and His time is not our time. We can’t see the larger pattern, as He does.
In the grand scheme of things, even the end of a mighty empire is not so important as that God should have our souls united to Him. We should thank Him for whatever His perfect will is, even if that means poverty or suffering or death for us.
And it may.

You are quite right. Here is a summary of commentary from a recent sermon at my parish:
The four sins that cry out to God for vengeance:
1. Sodomy (no further commentary required)
2. Murder ( 1M abortions/year in USA)
3. Cheating a worker of his due wages (ever ponder why our clothes & gadgets are so inexpensive - hint: "made in china")
4. Abuse/neglect of widows and orphans (is turning them over to the state really caring for them out of charity?)
under these conditions, what else should we expect from the Lord? As Billy Graham said, if He doesn't punish America, He'll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.
the Church in America is about to get a taste of martyrdom. I have little faith in our limp-wristed (Catholic) bishops to withstand it.
