The Devil and Donald Trump

President Trump has inherited this mess in the Middle East just as he has

 the corrupt immigration system from past administrations.  America's 

southern borders have been left unprotected and vulnerable for years now,

long before Mr. Trump won the 2016 election.   In addition to citizens living

near the southern border with Mexico being harassed and murdered by

members of drug cartels and other criminals, or the discoveries of the remains 

 of men, women, and children left to die out in the desert by smugglers and

human traffickers, there is now the very real threat of  Iranian-backed

jihadist terror cells striking out at innocent American citizens.

East vs. West

President Trump is taking no prisoners

Iran's Soleimani was a brutal henchman for the corrupt Iranian regime. 

 He killed thousands of his own people demanding government reform there.

President Trump is not an appeaser.  He is not going to ignore the 

 increasing threats coming from Iran, which is the number one exporter 

 of state-sponsored terrorism in the Middle East and the world.

On the flip side of this, the underground church in Iran is one of

the fastest growing members of the Body of Christ in the world today.

The prophet Jeremiah said that in the latter days, God would 

 restore the fortunes of Elam ( Persia or Iran).  (Jeremiah 49:39)

Persia is a nation frequently mentioned in the Bible and one
 with deep spiritual ties to the nation of Israel, while the biblical
stories of Persia's Queen Esther and Cyrus the Great reflect
the receptiveness of the human heart to the will of God.

I believe and pray that true and lasting change will come to Iran 

 internally, through a tremendous outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares, that

I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons

and daughters shall prophesy, telling forth divine counsels

and your young men shall see visions, divinely granted

appearances, and your old men shall dream,

divinely suggested dreams."

(Acts 2:17)

However, true and lasting peace will only come to the

war-torn Middle East when Sar Shalom, the Prince of Peace,

Yeshua Ha'Mashiach returns to rule the nations from Jerusalem.

I am thankful that President Trump is America's leader at this time

in world history.  God has always worked through ordinary, sinful men and women

to accomplish His will on earth.  Furthermore, Donald Trump stands unabashedly

with the nation and people of Israel.  Although there have been former presidents

who claimed to have supported Israel, he is the first one in my lifetime to take

the long-awaited final step and publicly recognize Jerusalem as the capital of

the land and to move our embassy there.

This speaks volumes to me as a blood-purchased believer in Messiah.

God spoke plainly in the Book of Genesis that He would bless those who

bless the nation and people of Israel and curse them that did not.  He

told Abraham, "in you will all the families and kindred of the earth

be blessed and by you they will bless themselves."

 (Genesis 12:3).

God never changes.  He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

"For I know that my Redeemer and Vindicator lives, and at last He,

the Last One, will stand upon the earth." 

(Job 19:25)

Please pray for President Trump to be receptive to the voice of

the Holy Spirit in these perilous last of the last days.  

And always, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem."

  (Psalm 122:6)
