...Now, until recently, the thought of anyone actually saying that the Lord Jesus would want a particular candidate to win an election had never crossed my mind. I have never personally prayed for a candidate to win nor a sports team etc, etc. I know I have prayed the Lord to pull my rear out of some situations and thankfully He has heard and guided me, although not always in the way I thought it would happen.
I do also believe that God has intervened in many an event not only in world history but in the very founding of this country. If you are one of those people that want to believe that the United States was founded by chance and some of the greatest minds in human history just happened to be around the same place at the same time and that was just a coincidence, I find your lack of faith extremely amusing. This country was founded by men and women who not only believed in the almighty but truly believed He was guiding their hands in the events of their time and I also believe this to be true.
Now, even with my firm belief of intervention from heaven always possible, I just never considered praying for a particular candidate to win but rather left it up to the Lord’s will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. I was more than content to leave it there and deal with whatever comes our way as a nation or state.
Yet, on the Thursday after the election, I had the clearest and most concise thought of “praying” for Donald Trump to be declared the winner pop into my head....

If that’s the case, I’m sure we will see a Sign

God loves every believer and all those who are chosen.
There may still be a large number of people in the US who have not accepted Christ as their Savior, but have been chosen.
He will provide the proper opportunity for them to come to Him at His time.
God has no need for Kings and politicians, governments or men's laws. He gave man the gift of light, but man has always left God frustrated by our ungratefulness and arrogance.
Trump will stay in office. I’ve never doubted this for a moment.
Our free will was given to us to basically choose between God or Satan. . . .after that there is no fence sitting. . . If we choose God, our free will becomes His Will. God wants to be the First Resort not the last resort when it comes our decision making. The main thing is the main thing no matter the outcome of the election. . . it is what we do with Jesus in our lives . . .accept or reject. https://www.thereishopeinjesus.com/
“God would know better lawyers.”
Amen!
God raise up Cyrus in the OT for a particular reason. He establishes the nations at His will.
Interesting observation.
Prior to WWII? I think you have your dates mixed up.
Just sayin'.
Trump did win the election. How we handle the attempted steal is the question.
Our God is BIG and capable of all things. Praise and pray and be specific!
You apparently haven’t read Romans chapter 13. That’s in the New Testament. Reading that might even indicate that Obama was God’s will. (Would God give us an illegal imposter as POTUS)? Well, we’d thumbed our noses at all the other laws! According to Mark Taylor, Trump was supposed to follow Obunga’s first term. But God saw that we weren’t sick enough of lawlessness, so He gave us another dose. 60% of us were thrilled to get Trump. But the outlaws weren’t. So they rigged the election, and unless Trump uses ALL the tools at his discretion, we’ll have nothing but lawlessness until Jesus comes back.
That was the Wiemar Republic, a wheel barrow full of cash for a loaf of ersatz bread. Hitler and the Nazis turned that around, people had food again and would follow the Nazis anywhere they went rather then be hungry again. I remember an old news reel that showed a picnic table in the country loaded with food of all types, people no longer starving, the message being, look what the Nazi Party did for you. Thing is if I remember correctly, the people in the rural areas were not eating ersatz bread (flour and sawdust) they had food. It was the cities where people were starving and eating ersatz bread and sausage. If history holds true to form this is where we are headed. How it manifests itself in the USA will be interesting. Will the whole country be starving over worthless money and no produce. Or will it only be Blue urban areas as Red rural areas horde their food stuffs. Will foreign countries sell to the USA if our money is over burden my a massive debt held by China and Russia? We get a lot of our food from other countries now.
Even among us mortals, our different kinds of "wants" can be in direct conflict. For example one can want to quit smoking at the same time wanting another cigarette. Time will tell which want the person will ultimately follow.
In the case of God, He may "want" man not to choose sin, but also want to allow people the freedom of choose sin.
So there are things that God may "want" in some sense that He allows not to come about.
That was in 2014 and the next election was 2016. She was not talking about the 2020 election. Eitherway, both 2016 and 2020 election took place.
The results of 2020 is a lot of cheating
, but it did take place.
Some rulers serve as a judgment against the people.
Prior to WWII God gave Israel back to the Jews so they could inhabit the land...They wouldn’t go home...Just sayin’...

He led them out of Egypt and they built a Golden Calf, begging to return to the relative comfort of slavery.
All humans are stiff-necked with pride. God is not the Big Sugar Daddy in the Sky and as He is not human, we have no idea of His reasons for anything.
Might be that if we cannot understand evil, we need to experience it 1st hand until we truly do. Might be that the evil doers need to consume the cup of wrath to its dregs before the consequences are manifested.
Just pray and have faith. Faith is belief in the unseen and unproven. We do have a Book, so we aren’t riding completely blind. We do have a Savior, if we can recognize Him.
One can only be frustrated if one’s results differ from one’s expectations.
God is never frustrated. God is never surprised. God was not blindsided in the Garden of Eden. He was not caught flat-footed at Gethsemane. He knew His Upper Room demonstration with the towel and basin would be rebuffed by Pilate’s own call for a towel and basin. God continues to give us one hopeful chance after another to choose the right, but I assure you He entertains no illusions about our proclivities, and is never at a loss over our repeated failures.
Then he must also want a US civil war
Why rich people would embrace Commies is beyond me
Cause it eliminates the middle class, their competition
You know what worries wealthy business tycoon like Zuckerburg every day?
Some punk in a middleclass neighborhood creating the next best thing that will bankrupt a no talent hack like Zuckerburg
They hate us and want communism, communism is great when you are the leader or part of the government.
If you are not part of the government, you are dirt poor living like a peasant begging the government for food. People who love power love abusing the poor, its fun to them. That is how they get their kicks
The problem with the middle class Americans, you can’t just make them poor and expect them not to uprise, you need to kill them off with riots, looters, gangs, police, suicides, virus/sickness, wars, terrorism or whatever you can.
And you replace them with 3rd worlders who love to be poor, and know how to be poor and know how to obey their masters and expect punishment if they don’t because they grew up in this system.
The elites know what they are doing and they know what they are doing to us.
