My heart is very concerned with what I see going on in the United States right now. People are gathered in the New York City area to support Donald Trump over this whole arrest issue. Don’t get me wrong if Donald Trump is innocent it will come out. But let me say this, Christians need to be extremely careful during this time.

Why?

Because this situation is bordering idolatry and fueling hate. When a society lifts up a mere man higher than God and puts all their trust in him, they are committing idolatry. When protest leads to violence, anger and ugly words being yelled, it causes hate and division. Jesus taught us to love one another and above everything to love the Lord God with all our heart, all our soul and all our minds. Let’s look at the scriptures to see what else is said;

Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there. Psalm 146:3 (NLT)

Don’t put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they? Isaiah 2:22 (NLT)

This is what the Lord says: Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord. Jeremiah 17:5 (NLT)

See what I mean? God wants us to turn to him not to man and this is the very reason I say it’s bordering idolatry. Now, there’s nothing wrong with standing up when your own rights are being suppressed, threatened or when government powers try to over reach in Christian beliefs through totalitarian or dictator moves, but, it should always be in a peaceful manner. What we’re seeing in New York City will turn ugly. That’s because people are allowing their emotions to rule them and it’s going to cause more idolatry, more division, more hate, and probably cause New York City to be locked down.

Is it fair the way the democrats have gone after Donald Trump?

NO, it’s not. Because, many of these politicans themselves are liars, corrupt, compromised and definitely untrustworthy. And while it may not be fair what’s happening to Donald Trump, he is the one who made those decisions. It’s his battle. And you never know, God maybe sending him a message or wakeup call during this time of trouble, so Christians need to be extemely careful and know whose side they’re on, mere man or God.

As Christians we’re told to use discernment and for those who don’t have the gift of discernment you can always tell by their fruit.

Meaning, you can always identify a person’s true nature by paying attention to their actions.
