Donald Trump doesn’t have to be a Christian for God to use him.

Since
Donald Trump started his campaign we’ve had a multitude of so called
Christian conservatives penning on their blogs how they, due to moral
purity cannot ever vote for someone like Donald Trump.
I’m not too sure what that’s supposed to mean because not one of the multitude know Trump personally.
I
suppose they have simply read and heard that he’s a bad guy, he’s
immoral, he’s rude, arrogant, has a lousy hair style and all manner of
stuff that defines him as a non-Christian.
I read where one blogger wrote in all his spiritual wisdom that God never uses an unrepentant sinner to fulfill His will.
I
pointed out to the gentleman that God used Artaxerxes the king in
allowing, and helping Nehemiah rebuild the wall at Jerusalem, yea,
Artaxerxes even sent some captains of his army and horsemen to provide
protection for Nehemiah’s journey. I also said that there are many
‘unrepentant’ sinners whom God used throughout the Bible in making sure
His plan is accomplished.
I think a better example of the above is in the book of Genesis.
Shortly
after God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah Abraham took a journey winding
up in Gerar. Now Abraham and his wife Sarah were pretty old, yet Sarah
was still very beautiful.
About
25 years before that, there was a situation where Abraham was passing
through Egypt and instructed Sarah to say that he was her brother
because he was afraid the Egyptians would kill him and take her. Same
situation here, Abraham told Abimelech, the King of Gerar that Sarah was
his sister and Sarah went along with the lie ( actually a “half-lie” if
there is such a thing. Because she indeed was his half-sister) and said
that Abraham was her brother. Abimelech took Sarah and added her to his
harem, but didn’t touch her.
Okay, now we all know that Jesus Christ was to be from the seed of Abraham through Sarah. So, in essence Abraham was kind of throwing a wrench in God’s plan.
Imagine
if Abimelech actually had ‘relations’ with Sarah. That would have cast
tremendous doubt whether eventually Jesus was of Abraham’s seed, as
confirmed by the geneologies in the Bible. Again, if Abimelech “took”
her there would be no proof as to the lineage of Christ.
Anyway,
God spoke to Abimelech one night saying that he’s a “dead man” because
of taking Sarah and putting her into his harem. Abimelech said,
(paraphrasing) “Hey Lord, I didn’t know she was the guy’s wife! I
haven’t touched her. In the integrity of my heart I did this thing. The
guy said, “She’s my sister and even she said, “He’s my brother!”
God
answered Abimelech saying, “I know all this and that’s why I didn’t
allow you to touch the woman. Now, restore the man his wife and because
he’s a prophet, he will pray for you and you will live. But if you
don’t, you and every one with you will die.”
Apparently, God was already cursing the kingdom of Abimelech by making the women barren.
Now,
here is where God actually used Abimelech ... he called Abraham and
said, (paraphrasing) “Hey man! What have you done to me and my kingdom
by bringing on me this great sin? What did I do to you that you would
put me in such a situation? You’ve done things to me that you shouldn’t
have!”
Abraham
brought forth his lame excuse, “I didn’t think the fear of God was here
and that when you guys saw my beautiful wife you’d kill be and take
her. Sorry about that.”
Abimelech
then reproved Sarah, gave Abraham a thousand pieces of silver, a bunch
of oxen and and sheep and stuff and sent Abraham away saying, “You are
free to go anywhere in my kingdom and live where you please.”
Abraham then prayed and God healed Abimelech and opened the wombs of the women.
Abimelech
was a pagan King, an idol worshiper. Yet God used the guy in rebuking
Abraham for his lack of faith and to fulfill His promise to us that
Christ would come through Abraham and Sarah.
I wrote all that to say who’s to know how God could use Donald J. Trump in fulfilling His will for America?
It
makes me sick every time I read some sanctimonious Christian say he/she
just can’t bring themselves to vote for the likes of Donal Trump and
they don’t even know him ... essentially voting for Hillary Clinton.
In my view, Donald Trump is a saint in comparison.
Oh, I’m voting for Donald Trump and I pray he wins.
