TRUMP, DELILAH, & A JAWBONE
I was awakened this morning a few minutes prior to 4 A.M. In the haze of waking I felt an overwhelming urgency, akin to knowing that God was about to speak. I laid in bed, a bit surprised by this sensation, and began to prepare myself for whatever it was that the Lord would say. I knew it was not like many of our normal conversations, based on the weight of what I felt. Instantly my attention was drawn to the nation and all that is taking place. I expected the Lord to speak to me regarding Judge Kavanaugh, and the soon coming Senate vote. However, while that played a very small part, the Lord drew my attention to President Trump.
I know many well-known prophets, alongside leaders within the American Church, have compared him to a Jehu as it relates to his exchange with Hillary Clinton. I know others have compared him to a Cyrus, in relation to his concern and care for Israel, partnered with his kindness towards Christianity. However, the Lord spoke something slightly distinct from these previous pictures that carried discernible aspects of truth. The Lord said, ”I have raised Donald Trump up as a judge, and the battle of the Supreme Court is the natural outworking of a judge seated in the position of leadership over this nation.” I was bewildered by this picture as I have never once considered President Trump to be a judge, nor is there any history of him in direct relation to law or the practice thereof.
The Lord then began to expand and explain what He was relaying to me. He said to me, “I have raised Donald Trump to the position of President so that he could be a judge of this nation, much like the judges of the Old Covenant. And he is my Samson to the American people.” Instantly, I received insight into how this made revelatory sense, and aligned itself to the Scripture.
The Lord asked me, “Do you think you would enjoy being led by a man as carnal as Samson? Wouldn’t you question whether I was really the one behind his strength?” At that moment I remembered Donald Trump explaining how he had never once drunk alcohol, smoked cigarettes, or tried any kind of drug. Peculiar confession for a man plagued by a womanizing history, replete of inappropriate and dishonorable interactions with females. Yet, consistent entirely with the life of Samson. On the one hand, Samson was a Nazarite, on the other he decried the commands of God pursuing a wife from the Philistines, sleeping with a prostitute, and eventually falling in love with Delilah.
The Lord began to explain to me the backdrop of the Mueller Investigation, the Stormy Daniels exposé, and even the recent attack against his taxes in relation to the NY Times article. The Lord said to me, “The lords of the Philistines are searching to find the source of his strength!” They are hoping to uncover something that will unhinge him or remove from him the anointing that the Lord has placed on him. The hope of these attacks is to blind him from the sole focus the Lord has given him in exposing darkness and re-establishing the course of this nation. They are fine with him being a leader who blindly grinds out the purposes of a foreign machine, but his aim to release America from the chains of foreign interests, and the hoped for globalization of the nations of the Earth is problematic.
The Lord further elaborated on this picture when He asked, “Am I not using the jawbone of an ass to put the enemy to flight?” I knew the pun was intended, and He was speaking about the flagrant and foul language often used by the President. I knew He was not endorsing the language of our President, but at the same time was allowing it to produce His purpose in the nations of the Earth. You see many of us have been disheartened by the man God has raised up, because he is carnal. We have seen his choice words, his personal ethics, and his treatment of women, and felt very troubled in trying to hold any alignment with him. If you have not struggled with that, I have. But this morning the Lord spoke to me plainly that His purpose is going to be established amid a carnal man yielding the jawbone of an ass. However, there is a plan of the enemy to blind him, to find the point of his weakness and exploit it, and therefore I am writing.
The Lord said to me that we must begin to pray for the ‘Josephs and Daniels’ that the Lord has hedged around the President. We must begin to pray that he follows the counsel of wise and godly servants, so that he is not entrapped by the allurement of Delilah. There is a snare that lies ahead for the President that is larger than many of us care to realize, and will reverberate through this nation if we do not begin to sincerely pray. To pray that God’s purposes are not thwarted by the arrogance of a man who is merely anointed for a task. To pray that God protects him from the deception of those who simply want to weaken and distract him. And finally, that the voices God has placed around him of wisdom would be heeded and honored.
God has given us a Samson, and while in many ways it goes against our notion of morality, it is for better or worse, His purpose in the land. He is using this man to push back the enemy and the purposes of destruction that have been laid against this nation. Yes, he is carnal and often disturbing, but to an Israelite both would be evident in knowing the judge that God raised up was entrenched in an affair with a prostitute. The evidence of a judge in the land was that the enemies that lorded over the people would be vanquished, and an era of prosperity would be known by a generation. In this time there would come repentance from their false allegiance to the gods of the Canaanites and dishonor of Jehovah. Even now throughout the land there are prayer movements sprouting up and calling forth repentance, while Samson battles against the oppressors of the people. The economy’s blossoming, the trade negotiations, and the roll back against the liberal agenda for sexual perversion are part and parcel of a judge reigning.
The battle against abortion is perhaps the greatest that lies ahead. The judges that are being placed are to help curb the flood of the enemy’s purpose in this land as it pertains to morality. There is much to be done, and great hope to be had by Christians, on the right or the left, who understand our influence is greatest when opposing gross darkness. There is no reason to fear, no reason to shrink back, but instead a call to declare the goodness and purpose of the Lord throughout this nation. Rise brothers and sisters, begin to pray, begin to cry aloud for mercy, and declare to the region you reside that our King reigns on the throne, and His judge is ruling in our nation!
