COMMON sense AGENDA

Ephesians 4:3-13

King James Version

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit

in the bond of peace.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit,

even as ye are called in one hope

of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all,

who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

7 But unto every one of us is given grace

according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Only someone who is born again, can appreciate GOD's handiwork.

As He works through president-elect Trump.

Whose patience, and persistence, streams through his people.

We also see how people love him, hope and work alongside him, and aim for a better America.

We also witness powerful support, and gratitude, given him by his appointees.

Likewise, we feel the excitement coursing through his Republican party -- also known as the "Grand Old Party" or GOP.

Today, TWO "Michaels" come to mind.

To quote from their interview on Fox News:

"Every Republican is united around Donald Trump's agenda. Donald Trump ran on a very simple formula:

- Restore the southern border.

- Rebuild our economy.

- Keep our community safe.

- Ensure America's strong enough to protect our interest at home, and abroad.

-- Michael Whatley, RNC chairman

"There's a real esprit de corp among the Republicans in congress right now. We have a new president, a new day in America. President Trump is coming to the White House with a big mandate, and I think that extends to us as well. We've demonstrated already that we can govern with a small majority."

-- Mike Johnson, R-LA, Speaker of the House

That's the thing about Donald Trump.

He's got awesome people.

Nearly all are even "presidentiables" in his cabinet.

He's got no-nonsense, common sense, aggressive, assertive, confident, caring moves which translate to his people.

Such is strong, and clear leadership America, and the world, need right now.

GOD continue to bless the president-elect, his people, and all the people of the world!

And ALL GLORY goes to GOD alone!

CLARITY from CHAOS

Colossians 4:2

King James Version

2 Continue in prayer,

and watch in the same

with thanksgiving;

Things are getting very volatile in the Middle East.

And then again, when was it not ever?

Shall we call it the "muddle" east?

Is there any hope for "clarity"?

Any hope for peace?

Of course, there is.

There is that powerful statement of JESUS which can change EVERYTHING.

This, as He lambasted the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees who sat in "Moses' seat":

Matthew 23:38-39

King James Version

38 Behold,

your house is left unto you desolate.

39 For I say unto you,

Ye shall not see me henceforth,

till ye shall say,

Blessed is he that cometh

in the name of the Lord.

The day the Jews acknowledge that JESUS is THE MESSIAH, is the day Israel will be redeemed.

As it is, she's still in a "mess".

Likewise, the whole world still asleep, and in darkness.

That's why we workmen are waiting, watching, warning, waking people up, and worshiping the LORD.

Where there's no GOD, there's chaos.

But there are also "slivers" of light showing up.

Wherever GOD wants it to.

But here's the key:

For Israel to acknowledge JESUS,

the Gentiles must FIRST acknowledge Him,

in a way that is SUFFICIENT to the LORD.

It's been prophesied:

Romans 11:25

King James Version

25 For I would not, brethren,

that ye should be ignorant of this mystery,

lest ye should be wise in your own conceits;

that blindness in part is happened to Israel,

until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Now you see how the salvation of both Jew and Gentile are intricately-linked together.

And you also see why Satan makes sure that doesn't happen.

CHRIST's enemy would rather the world be dissolved, than be saved.

But, of course, that's wishful thinking.

GOD's WORD stands.

Israel will have a remnant.

The Rapture can take place any moment.

With GOD's faithful -- the church -- gone, what do you think will happen next?

You would not want to be left behind, for sure.

Don't wait for the end times.

Turn to the LORD JESUS now.

Be born again, that SPIRIT may teach you what He taught me.

How to live by the Bible.

How to obey GOD's commands.

How to be holy.

How to be saved.

It's all in Scripture.

But you need SPIRIT to "decode" it.

By yourself, you can't.

You need His anointing.

And that can only come from being born again.

Of being a new person in CHRIST.

Ephesians 1:13

King James Version

13 In whom ye also trusted,

after that ye heard the word of truth,

the gospel of your salvation:

in whom also after that ye believed,

ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

The TRUMP traits

2 Corinthians 11:6

King James Version

6 But though I be rude in speech,

yet not in knowledge;

but we have been throughly made manifest

among you in all things.

The elite left fumed.

How could they have lost?

How could Kamala have spent over $1-B and still came out owing $20-M?

How could Trump, a "fallen" president, have "risen" again?

How could they not have seen this disaster coming?

How could they not seem to "get rid" of "the guy"?

Well, perhaps because of these --

PRE-elections:

Kamala was "woke"; Trump was "awake".

Kamala used "hate" speech; Trump used "love" speech.

Kamala spoke vaguely; Trump spoke clearly.

Kamala "dodged" questions: Trump "dodged" bullets.

Kamala was "out of touch" with voters; Trump was "in touch" with voters.

Kamala fought for women's reproductive rights; Trump fought for worker's rights.

Kamala was focused on woke and gender issues; Trump was focused on America's survival.

Kamala promoted abortion; Trump nixed abortion.

Kamala turned away JESUS at a rally; Trump said GOD "spared" his life for a "reason".

Kamala called on celebrities to support her; Trump called on the people to support him.

Kamala had a weak team; Trump had a strong team.

Kamala ignored the people's "cry"; Trump heard their "cry".

Because Kamala didn't hear or pay attention to their cry, she failed to address their issues; because Trump heard their cry, he was able to give solutions to their issues.

Kamala's head was "up in the air"; Trump's ear was "close to the ground".

Kamala flip-flopped on her "policies"; Trump stuck to his policies.

Kamala cackled; Trump smiled.

Kamala looked "drunk"; Trump looked "spot-on".

Kamala mocked; Trump danced.

Kamala keeps saying she was born to a "middle-class family"; Trump hardly mentions what "type" of family he came from.

Kamala's Jamaican roots come from her Afro-Jamaican father; Trump's Jamaican connection comes from growing up in the Jamaican Estates in Queens, New York City.

Kamala acts like a "queen"; Trump comes from the "Queens".

Kamala is Oakland, California "woke"; Trump is Queens, New York City "tough".

Kamala's "promoters" reminded me of "Moulin Rouge"; Trump's "promoters" reminded me of what Jordan Peterson calls "X-Men".

Kamala shuns interviews; Trump loves interviews.

Kamala needs a teleprompter; Trump can talk on his own.

POST-elections:

Kamala lost; Trump won.

Kamala's "hiding"; Trump's "trending".

Kamala "bombed"; Trump "boomed".

Kamala has gone down into "infamy"; Trump is getting to be a "legend".

In case you're still in denial why Trump won, and how he really is, have a look at these short videos from the past:
