Trump is a king of this world. I am not concerned with what he says he is or what they say he is.
I serve another King and His name is Jesus. I will pray for him as I prayed for Obama.
that is all I am commanded to do.
Amen, but there is a couple more things, like Speaking evil of Dignities, should we?
Did Jesus or the Angeles, or King David and the apostles?
Jesus Christ showed respect to every human ruler He came into contact with,
not because of the men [only], but because of the offices they held.
He didn’t even [rail against those] who murdered Him.
In ancient Israel, King Saul’s agenda was to murder David, but he still knew it would
be wrong to kill King Saul when the opportunity came, instead cutting off only a small
piece of his robe (1 Samuel 24:3-4).
Even that turned out to be more than the future king could stomach (verse 5).
King Saul was no longer in favor with God, prophesied to lose his office, and chasing David
himself like a wild animal for slaughter. Still, David’s respect for King Saul’s God-ordained
office came first: “The Lord forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the Lord’s
anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord” .
Jude 8-10
warns about speaking evil of dignities, pointing out that the archangel Michael, while conten-
ding with Satan for Moses’s body, “durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said,
The Lord rebuke thee. But these [speak evil] of those things which they know not: but what
they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things [they corrupt themselves].”
That was talking about the most evil being ever to exist.
The Apostle Paul wrote: “For there is [no authority] except from God, and those that exist have
been instituted by God. Therefore he who resists the authorities resist what God has appointed ”

We may have elections, but no man takes office without God allowing him to do so.
Proverbs 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.
cf: Lev 16:8,Ex 28:30, Lev 8:8, Num 27:21, Deut 33:8, 1 Sam 14:41-42, 28:6, Num 26:55 ...
Act 1:24-Matthias was chosen by lot. Notice the context...
God made the choice, the lot was the instrument God used to reveal His will.
So We may throw the dice or have elections, but the Lord determines how they fall.
But God will give the people what they deserver, or by purpuse or desire-
We the people , and the sharp down grade of morals that is bringing this country down.
The spirit of rebellion against those in office comes from Satan. He expressed his own
desire to overthrow God’s government. No human leader has ever led a perfect government.
God does not sanction abusive leadership, but He will judge those men—[not us].
Our respect for their offices—our respect for the God who allows them to hold their offices!
Should we follow the marches and chanting, and descend into speaking evil of dignities?
The next time you read a news source slamming one of this world’s leaders, ask yourself
what the intent is. The United States was built on freedom of speech, and every man should
have a voice—especially as we see the American economy systematically dismantled and
society collapsing morally. But there is a difference between simply exposing a wrong agenda
and disrespecting a dignitary—something a true Christian should never do.
Do the news sources you use deliberately strip President Obama’s or Trumps title as
a means of removing the dignity of his office? Do they mock him with cartoons and use
the worst images of him they can find?
Rather than join in with a show of disrespect, honor the highest office in the country—
the president of the United States—or any others leaders over you by attacking sin,
not the sinner, just as Jesus Christ would.

Did Jesus say we can break the laws of the land?
Do you know Jesus even favored capital punishment ?
But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain;
for he is God’s minister, an AVENGER TO EXECUTE WRATH on him who practices evil”
