“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil... that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. .” Ephesians 6:10-20

Ephesians 6 explains the spiritual battle that we are in and it urges us to put on the full armour of the Lord and then to stand. So the battle is never done this side of heaven. We have to continue to perpetually stand for the truth. The church in America has in the main compromised with the world just as Jesus said it would in the last days before He returns to Earth.

As a result of Trump’s remarkable win in the 2024 Presidential Election U.S.A. God has allowed the church time to put the country back on the right track. As Family Research Council’s (FRC) Mary Szoch said after voters knocked off three radical pro-abortion ballot initiatives, this is the opening believers have been waiting for. On Tuesday, “Americans … re-elected the most pro-life president in the history of America,” she emphasized. “Now is the time for us to work together to promote strong, faith-filled marriages, strengthen families, and create a society that values every single person from the moment they come into existence. The opportunity to build a culture of life in America is great, and we cannot waste it.”

We also need to remember, Hibbs said on Pray Vote Stand: Decision 2024, “The church needs a revival. We will still wake up tomorrow knowing that the church needs to turn back to Scripture — and pulpits … [need to address] through the Scripture the issues that shape our congregants and their life, their worldview. And so, we need a revival. We pray that this election is a little part of that, but the bottom line is the answer. Are God’s people stepping up? Are God’s people getting involved?”

Another thing Christians need to realize, former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann said, is that “we have a lot to be grateful for.” The Trump campaign is in a “good place,” she acknowledged, “[but that’s] in the natural. I felt like the Lord was saying to me early on in this campaign that this [race] won’t be won in the natural, it will be won in the supernatural. And I truly believe that we need to just keep leaning in [with] prayer and what we’re [doing]. Where Scripture has taken me this week is [to Exodus] where Moses is standing when the Israelites are battling with the Amalekites — and then Hur and Aaron are holding up Moses’s arms — all while Joshua was on the field at the battle. And so it’s both: it’s prayer, and it’s action.”

When the church does both, she explained, “then we see victory.” “… But we can never, ever take it for granted.” The reality is, Michele pointed out, “Four years is going to go fast. And again, we only have two years until the next midterm, so … we’ve got to get to work. … It’s like there was a party and the furniture is all broken and the drapes are torn down from the windows, and we’ve got to get America’s house back in order fast and do what the American public believes that Donald Trump and a Republican Senate and a Republican House can do.”

That takes work, it takes commitment, and it takes an army of men and women determined to pay the price to speak up — and stand up. Whatever happens from here, Tony Perkins (FRC) urged, “Election 2024 must not be the finish line for Christians in America; I pray it is a starting point. It’s time for the church to arise. Our hurting nation needs a revival that only God can provide.”

As I said in my last post Donald Trump will not make America great again. Unless God brings revival to America and the nation gets on its knees to repent of all its abominable sins: abortion, gay marriage, homosexuality, transgenderism, etc. God will not lift the judgment that America is already under. Sadly, I just do not believe Scripture shows that this will happen. We are already in the Biblical prophesied end times many of the Biblical prophesied end times signs have already manifested and persecution of Christians will only intensify.
