Such wonderful news. Our prayers have been granted.

Jay Sekulow said an hour ago that he got a call this morning from the President who said, “Jay, I’ve got good news for you, your pastor has been released.”

Jay, went on to say that he thanked the President on behalf of the American, pastor Brunson’s family, and every one that works at the American Center for Law and Justice.

“Being a Christian minister in a Muslim (anything) is always a losing preposition.”

ALL the nations of the world belong to God, and He has given them to His Son:

Psalm 2:7b-8
You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.

Christ commanded His followers to take His message to EVERY nation:

Matthew 28:19-20
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.

God does not require every individual Christian to go into a Muslim country, but it is part of the mission of the Church which ALL Christians must support.

By the way, ALL of the seven churches specifically addressed by Christ in the final book of the Bible, and which symbolize the last generation of churches in the world before He returns, were located in modern-day Turkey.

Revelation 1:11
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, and what you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

I was hoping for some head bashing, but Trump managed to do this peacefully. All the better.

Regardless, President Trump trusted VP Pence and allowed him to make this happen. Which goes to show that President Trump has good people and allows them to do good things.

#4: "The leftist mob will never give Trump credit for this."

Well, yeah! In fact the Left would have all believers locked up if possible. There are a lot of Democrats profoundly saddened by the news of the pastor's release.

We applied sanctions that has been destroying their economy. Turkey was supposed to let this man go a few months ago, but changed their mind. He got Israel to release someone in exchange, but Turkey screwed us.

You don’t screw over Trump. He hit Turkey with sanctions till this man was released. More winning!

A judge ordered Brunson's release as part of a reported deal in which President Trump will “ease economic pressure” on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s country. Turkey is not dropping the case against Brunson. The prosecutor “demanded up to 10 years in prison for terror charges,” a pro-government outlet reported, but Brunson will be allowed to leave the country. “The Second High Criminal Court in western Izmir province on Friday ruled for American pastor Andrew Craig Brunson to be sentenced to three years, one month and 15 days in prison, but said he will not spend anymore time in custody because of the time he has already served,” Daily Sabah reported.

Not at all. Over the last 40 years, the Christian population has exploded in Nigeria, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. There are thousands becoming Christians every day.

The trouble is, it may cost your life at any time. But it's worth it.

Something like this was likely said...”you realize now, North Korea did not win...Obama is not president and you wouldn’t want your future to be difficult for at least 6 more years...also, the CIA is no longer your friend...oh, and don’t even think about aiding Iran or ISIS”...

What ransom did we pay?
...
Seriously?
Nothing, I’m sure.
Look to NorKo...do you not see a new sheriff is in town? Turkey knows ISIS is dead and PDJT is responsible.
