    GOOD FOR YOU.......now add the congress, the senate, the judicial branch of our government because they all work together. Pray also that Trump fires that Steve Miller character for stating that any president has absolute power----that guys a protractor and a bomb thrower.

    There is a difference between a future member of Trump's administration speaking to Russia and a sitting President doing so. One primary difference is plausible deniability. Further, the Media is doing everything they can to vilify Trump and those associated with him, and the attack on Flynn for...a phone cal...is ridiculous. While the topic of sanctions may have come up that it nothing unexpected. That would be like acting shocked that free will came up in a discussion between a Calvinist and Arminian.

    The bottom line is that nothing can be truly attributed to Trump for conspiring with the Russian Leader, whereas with Obama it was seen on national television.

    ;)


    God bless.

    He did rebuke leadership, however, that is irrelevant to our command to be in obedience to the powers that be, and to pray for them. While the Lord has a long history of rebuking and punishing governing authorities, that does not reflect on the position of authority itself. In other words, kings were evil and judged, that doesn't mean that the position of King is the culprit.


    God bless.

    I want to be a part of that team.......throw bombs & burn down buildings. Destabilize the world through Marxist strategies. Maybe join the Alt Rights and eventually speak at Cpac. Yes, I can dream.

    Not sure what our sin has to do with blasting away at a President, unless you view doing so as sin, which I do not. It is perfectly acceptable, and our command to point out sin, regardless of who it is. The Kings of Scripture have never been given a pass, nor do governing authorities today.

    And that, I feel, is how God would have us "treat the President." Not overlooking sin because it fits our agenda. And that is precisely what many do.

    Obama sinned by advocating ungodly and unbiblical agendas. If Trump does so as well, it is our responsibility to point that out.

    But we are still under command...to pray for him. And so far I haven't really seen Trump do anything that warrants placing him in a category with Obama. I think what we are witnessing is someone who is either a babe in Christ or perhaps on the verge of being saved, and without question I feel the Lord is working in his life. As I keep saying, I will wait and see what happens.


    God bless.

    Trump is not the Pharisee, and we are still commanded to pray for Him and wish God blessings on him!

    My take on "blasting away" is that many seem to be willing to just unload hatred/bitterness/anger towards Trump, regardless of what he is doing, still hurting that we did not get another Clinton in white house!

    Actually, I would rather you not pray for Trump as long as you carry so much disdain in your spirit towards him. The best prayers you could do now would be to seek healing within for not being able to follow His premise and directive to its core. Shalom!

    As a Brit, I have no horse in this race, but in three and a half years time you will have the opportunity to vote the guy out if you want to. Until then everyone should be praying that God would give him wisdom so that you, and the rest of the world, may lead peaceful lives.

    I have a no confidence vote on him so he gets absolutely nothing from me save a prayer that he resign, step aside & let someone not crazy take over. and your right, you have no dog in this race so mind your own business.
