WND 08/27/2017 WILL PRESIDENT TRUMP CHANGE AMERICA FOR THE 'GOOD?'

'Trump prophet': God changing America from top down 6 years ago foresaw election, now predicts Supreme Court upheaval

Retired firefighter Mark Taylor predicted what almost no political expert in the entire world saw as even a remote possibility when he declared God had appointed Donald J. Trump as the next president of the United States. Now, in his new book, Taylor says President Trump, with God's help, is going to massively remake the federal government, starting with the Supreme Court. "God is beginning to make changes from the top down," Taylor writes in "The Trump Prophecies."And he argues it is the power of prayer that is driving so many of these changes. "When people pray and begin to make a change from the top down, not only does the transformation have to happen with the role of the highest leader, but it is necessary to rearrange his surrounding advisers, peers and supporting staff as well," he writes. "There was a time when leaders had godly advisers. This will happen again." President Trump received massive support from the evangelical community during the election, despite his unconventional background and morally checkered past. Some suggested Trump had grown in faith in recent years; others claimed God could use anyone for His purposes. However, since becoming commander-in-chief, Trump has taken strong action on many issues important to Christian conservatives, especially on religious liberty and abortion. However, issues such as homosexual marriage, abortion, religious liberty and so many others ultimately depend on the makeup of the Supreme Court and the decisions that body renders. And it is at the Supreme Court where Taylor claims Trump will make his largest impact, noting the successful appointment of Neil Gorsuch. "Gorsuch is currently receiving praise as a worthy replacement for the late Justice Antonin Scalia," Taylor pointed out. "Usually it takes a few years to get the full sense of a new justice," wrote Richard Hasen, professor of law and political science at the University of California Irvine School of Law in the Los Angeles Times. "Not so with Gorsuch … while the precise contours of Gorsuch's opinions are uncertain, and he could surprise in criminal cases, there's little doubt that, like Scalia, conservatives will be able to count on his vote." But Taylor says Trump is just getting started. In a "prophetic word" he claims was given to him on Feb. 24, 2016, Taylor predicts sweeping changes in the makeup of the court during Trump's time in office. He claims God will "stack the court" with judges who will ultimately overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark and significantly flawed decision that overruled state laws banning abortion. Taylor claims this revolutionary reconstitution of the Supreme Court will occur if American Christians follow the command given in 2 Chronicles 7:14 to "humble themselves," pray and "turn from their wicked ways." Taylor even gives a specific number, promising five Supreme Court picks for Trump if Christians continue to repent and pray. The most extraordinary political upset in history wasn't a surprise at all. One man was given a direct message from God years before Donald Trump decided to run for president about who the next commander-in-chief would be. And the prophecies don't stop with President Trump's inauguration. America is about to undertake an incredible national journey. Don't be left behind! And don't miss "The Trump Prophecies," now available from the WND Superstore. There has already been widespread speculation in recent days that Trump will soon be able to pick a second justice. Justice Anthony Kennedy, who turns 81 next month and has served on the Supreme Court for almost three decades, is rumored to be retiring soon. Kennedy is known as the court's "swing vote," so while replacing Scalia with Gorsuch simply prevented conservatives from losing ground, replacing Kennedy with a reliable conservative would allow Trump to fundamentally shift the balance of power. Replacing Kennedy alone could also open the door to overturning Roe v. Wade. Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whose health has become a concern for liberals since the election of Trump, has also been rumored to be considering retirement, though most observers doubt she would leave with a Republican in the Oval Office. However, despite being the subject of a workout book, the 84-year-old cancer survivor has had health setbacks, and she has fallen asleep in court and during the State of the Union address, though she blamed alcohol for the latter lapse. In the "The Trump Prophecies," Taylor warns the political conflict the nation has witnessed thus far is nothing compared to what is coming regarding the Supreme Court. "Understand that this potentially will be a very tumultuous time for our country," Taylor wrote. "The enemy will not let go without a fight. In fact, right now he has dug in his claws with extreme determination. Powers of darkness feed on the blood of the innocent, and the laws that enable that blood to flow freely in this land are regulated by the Supreme Court. This places the court at dead center of every spiritual stronghold that fights to keep this nation captive." However, Taylor ultimately predicts victory – if Christians will keep the faith. "The laws of this land have to change in order for us to return to the days of our prosperity," he says in "The Trump Prophecies." "It is time for the laws of our land to align with biblical morals again. We need to invite God back into our legal system, back into our courtroom, and evict the evil that currently resides there.”
