The Patriot Post® · God's Hand

A few days ago, Donald Trump spoke with faith leaders in North Carolina. During his remarks, he talked about the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, and the impact it has had on him. He said:
 
“As I look back at my life’s journey and events, I now recognize that it’s been the hand of God leading me to where I am today. And my faith took on new meaning on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania, where I was knocked to the ground essentially by what seemed like a supernatural hand. And I would like to think that God saved me for a purpose, and that’s to make our country greater than ever before.”
 
That’s a powerful way to describe what happened! God’s hand of protection was on Donald Trump as he turned his head, and God pushed him down as more shots rang out.
 
During his swing through North Carolina, Trump also met with residents whose communities were devastated by Hurricane Helene. He told them a “new crew” would be coming soon who would ensure their communities are fully and properly rebuilt.
 
“We will never forget about you,” Trump said. “We’re going to be working with you for a long time to come to get it back together.”
 
At that event, Mike Stewart, a local businessman, talked about how he lost everything in the catastrophic flooding. But Stewart’s thoughts weren’t focused on his loss.
 
He told Trump that his perseverance, no matter what is thrown at him, would inspire their community to “press on and move forward.” Stewart added that we needed “a warrior” in the White House to restore America’s greatness.
 
Then, Stewart asked Trump if he could pray for him. He put his hand on the president’s shoulder and offered this prayer:
 
“Father, I thank You for this man that You have raised up in this moment in this season for Your purposes. I pray that You would anoint him that things aren’t done just by might or by power but by Your spirit.
 
"So, I ask that You anoint President Donald Trump and give him a spirit of wisdom and understanding and insight as he moves to lead this nation back to greatness. In Jesus name, I pray.”

I have been in the White House many times with other Christian leaders who laid their hands on President Trump and prayed over him.
 
This should not be a difficult choice for Christian voters. Donald Trump is surrounded by Christians, and millions of Christians are praying for him. He has grown in his faith every year I have known him.
 
Most importantly, when he has the authority to set policy for our country, he does God’s work. He fought for religious liberty. And Donald Trump is the reason why abortion is no longer a “right’ in our Constitution. He deserves a second term for that reason alone.
 
What’s the alternative? Keep reading.
 
 
 
The Real Threat
 
Two weeks out from Election Day, Kamala Harris took the day off from the campaign trail. She needed a break to prepare for her interview with NBC News. It didn’t help.
 
Like Joe Biden, Harris says she wants to unite the country. When NBC’s Hallie Jackson asked Harris if she would pardon Donald Trump to help unite the country, Harris refused to answer the question.
 
Harris also struggled when Jackson asked if she had been honest with the American people about Joe Biden’s failing mental capacity. When pressed as to why she is on the ballot and Joe Biden isn’t, Harris had no answer to that critical question.
 
But here’s the real "news” from the interview.
 
Jackson asked Harris how she would compromise with Republicans in Congress to get any abortion-related legislation passed. Harris essentially filibustered and didn’t answer the question.
 
So, Jackson pressed again, specifically asking Harris if she would even consider including religious exemptions in abortion legislation. Harris replied, “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about [abortion].”
 
There it is, folks. Under a Harris/Walz administration, Christian hospitals, doctors, and nurses will be under constant attack. You will be made to take part in their sacrament of child sacrifice.
 
Men and women of faith will be forced to bow to Caesar instead of God because too many of their fellow Christians neglected their obligations as Christian citizens.
 
This is the reason I am working with the James Dobson Family Institute, PublicSquare, and others to sue the Biden/Harris administration. We are taking them to court because Biden and Harris are already forcing oppressive regulations on Christian ministries and businesses.
 
Here’s one example.
 
The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act is meant to help pregnant women by requiring employers to make reasonable accommodations for them. The Biden/Harris administration issued regulations twisting the law so that employers must now help employees seeking abortions.
 
They took a life-affirming law and turned it into a death-dealing law. They want you to pay for these abortions, and they want to force Christians to participate in killing innocent babies.
 
We are trying to stop this threat to religious liberty now.
 
As to the question about the pardon, see the next item.
 
 
 
The Totalitarian Left
 
Joe Biden, who is still president of the United States until January 20th, was in New Hampshire Tuesday speaking with a small group of people.
 
By the way, why was Biden in New Hampshire? Is the Harris campaign worried about losing the state?
 
I know what it’s like to speak in front of small groups in New Hampshire from my own presidential campaign. You forget that you’re not really in a small room with a small group of people. There are cameras in the room, and your words are being recorded and broadcast to the nation.
 
Referring to Donald Trump, Biden said, “We gotta lock him up,” and the crowd applauded.
 
Biden said what he wasn’t supposed to say. But it is exactly what they want to do. They will put Trump in jail and they will celebrate the day he dies there. That’s why he is facing 91 charges and 700+ years in jail.
 
Two other things jumped out at me.
 
First, New Hampshire Democrats applauded Biden’s statement. Their state motto is “Live Free or Die,” and they applauded Biden’s statement about jailing his political opponent. Free nations don’t jail people over political differences. That’s what totalitarian nations do.
 
Second, Biden is still the president overseeing the Justice Department. He just clearly signaled what he expects them to do when the election is over. Trump’s lawyers should be preparing their briefs now.
 
 
 
We’ve Been Warned
 
I know there is a sliver of well-meaning people who are so afraid that the country will sink further in our divisions, perhaps even into the unthinkable, and somehow this is all Donald Trump’s fault. While they don’t like Kamala Harris, they think it will be a disaster if Trump wins.
 
If the neo-Marxist left defeats Trump, they will try to utterly destroy him and all those around him with a record of supporting him.
 
If you think putting Kamala Harris in power for four more years will allow the country to move on from Trump, you’re living in a dream world. Harris is a threat to free speech (here and here), religious liberty, our Second Amendment rights, and our economic freedom.
 
Never forget what the left did to George W. Bush. They accused him of murder.
 
Never forget what the left did to John McCain. They compared him to segregationists.
 
Never forget what the left did to Mitt Romney. They said he wanted to put black people “back in chains.” (That, by the way, was “Mr. Nice Guy” Joe Biden.)
 
Our bitter political divisions did not start with and were not caused by Donald Trump.
 
Trump and the MAGA movement are the only things preventing a complete takeover of our country by the neo-Marxist left. If the Marxists prevail, America will no longer be a refuge for people seeking freedom, but a country people try to escape from in a search for freedom.
 
Immigrants who have escaped Marxism are desperately trying to warn us about today’s Democrat Party and the totalitarian left.
 
 
 
Tune In To Family Talk
 
Please tune in to Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk radio show. On today’s broadcast, I urge Christians to act in defense of their faith by being responsible Christian citizens and voting in this critical election. We also hear an inspiring message from Dr. Del Tackett, who says that men and women of faith must not be passive when so much is at stake.
