A Christian minister in Florida has ignited a firestorm over his suggestion that God is using Donald Trump as a divine instrument in the 2016 presidential election cycle.
In a column published in Charisma magazine, Jeremiah Johnson of Behold the Man Ministries in Lakeland, Florida, said he was praying several weeks ago “when God began to speak to me concerning the destiny of Donald Trump in America:”
The Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “Trump shall become My trumpet to the American people, for he possesses qualities that are even hard to find in My people these days. Trump does not fear man nor will he allow deception and lies to go unnoticed. I am going to use him to expose darkness and perversion in America like never before, but you must understand that he is like a bull in a china closet.Many will want to throw him away because he will disturb their sense of peace and tranquility, but you must listen through the bantering to discover the truth that I will speak through him. I will use the wealth that I have given him to expose and launch investigations searching for the truth. Just as I raised up Cyrus to fulfill My purposes and plans, so have I raised up Trump to fulfill my purposes and plans prior to the 2016 election.
You must listen to the trumpet very closely for he will sound the alarm and many will be blessed because of his compassion and mercy. Though many see the outward pride and arrogance, I have given him the tender heart of a father that wants to lend a helping hand to the poor and the needy, to the foreigner and the stranger.”

You know, God can use anyone. The lesson in Daniel is God, not man, raises up and takes down kings and kingdoms. God used Nebuchadnezzar BEFORE Nebuchadnezzar came to believe. I believe Trump in the same way will become a believer (but I hope he doesn’t have to go insane to get there).
John The Baptiser?
Welcome aboard!
I never mentioned Marla
Oh, brother. I wish pastors would shut up sometimes. Bozos like this one are one of the reasons Christianity in America is laughed at.

Matthew 26: while they (Jesus’ disciples) were eating, Jesus took bread and said “behold my body, a little cracker”
And then he took wine and said “behold by blood, a little wine.”
And thus we have communion/the Eucharist!
A little wine and a little cracker!
Look at post #21.
I guess Jesus said the wrongs words and didn’t get it right that night he held Passover with his disciples -— and only TRUMP has it all right! /s.
good grief, that smacks of anti-christ propaganda!
Who knows?
GOPe?
Google must not be quite the friend some folks thought it was.
I have thought this from the beginning.
God will use whom He will
Rahab was used by God, and became part of Jesus lineage....
All through the Bible God has often used imperfect people to bring about His purposes
He was already divorced when he met Knaus.
And "you hear she did a porn video"? You hear?
Why are you doing this? He's either gonna win or not. You don't need to lie, for heavens sake.
That's not very Christian either. Nor is being judgmental.
....”a firestorm over his suggestion that God is using Donald Trump as a divine instrument in the 2016 presidential election cycle”...
Trump reminds me of ‘Nebuchadnezzar’ where God brought him to the place where he put his trust in the God of Daniel. It’s a good lesson in the spiritual progress of a man in the hands of God, His story is a literary gem.
Though Nebuchadnezzar’s experience seems to take on the larger meaning of the humbling of Gentile power by God and the bringing of the world into submission to Himself’....it’s reflective of Trumps attempts to Trump the political parties of our time.
In Neb’s early reign he was active in military conquest. (Making deals) Now his vast domains had been ‘made secure’, he began fulfilling his heart’s desire by making Babylon one of the most fabulous cities of the ancient world. (Making America Great again).
I believe that Trump has taken on the ultimate challenge of his life...and this on the World Stage...and he will run into the Living God as he goes because he’s already found out this is not the same “walk” or “run” he has done in the past..different turaine.
Like Neb...God will use Him and bring Him to the place he would have him “bend the knee...as this run will be far more than he anticipated.
I wonder what messages we’re supposed to take from Miley Cyrus.
Helping the foreigner could refer to Trump’s plan to deport 11 million illegals and expedite the return of the good ones.
He’s no Bible expert, that is for sure. This is what he probably learned from his liberal church.
They don’t discuss the Bible in any detail because they have to violate it constantly to accomodate their evil social agenda. When I went to liberal churches in Boston, it was like attending a radical DNC rally.
Or the first ballot.
