This week marks an amazing milestone, not only for America but for the world. For those who prayed and cried out to God, He has responded, turning a critical page in history. We’re witnessing a powerful shift, a “Mount Carmel moment” as referenced in prophetic words—a time when God’s people had to choose between Baal or God. Just as Elijah asked the people of Israel to choose whom they would serve, we see a similar choice for America today. And America, as a nation, has chosen.
A New President-Elect: Donald J. Trump
With Donald J. Trump as the newly elected President, we pause to thank God. Through countless battles and challenges, even including assassination attempts, God has shown mercy and favor to this nation. The people humbled themselves, prayed, and turned to God, and He has shown mercy by sparing us. It is not through human strength alone, but through God’s hand guiding a nation towards what is right.
The Power of Prayer and Protection for Leadership
As we celebrate this moment, we must continue to pray for a safe and righteous transition of government, for the protection of President-elect Trump, his family, and his team. We ask God to guide this leadership and protect them from evil. But today, we focus on glorifying God and celebrating His intervention.
From Slavery to Freedom, and Now Facing Giants
For years, there was a heavy burden on America and the world. Taxes, restrictions, and controls mirrored the ancient Roman oppression described in The Chosen series. Yet, God heard the cries of His people and responded with mercy. Now, we stand between the place of slavery and giants—freed from bondage but faced with challenges ahead. The road may be long, but this victory is worth celebrating. As we remember the journey, we declare, “We were between slavery and giants.”
Celebrating the Win and Giving Thanks to God
God has granted us a victory—a win for people not only in America but around the world. People in the United Kingdom, Japan, and elsewhere are rejoicing at the turn toward Judeo-Christian values. It’s a time to celebrate this freedom, to overcome the darkness that had clouded the truth, and to remember what matters.
President Donald Trump’s Journey: Battles Fought and Won
President Donald Trump’s journey to the 2024 election victory was paved with significant challenges. From political opposition to legal cases, media attacks, and even assassination attempts, he stood resilient. These battles echo the biblical accounts of leaders like Jehu, raised by God to confront evil and lead His people. Despite endless scrutiny and attempts to tarnish his image, Trump’s faith and conviction held strong.
Standing in the Gap: A Mission with a Purpose
Trump himself has said that God spared him for a purpose: to save and restore America. He stands in the gap, as Ezekiel 22:30 describes, willing to protect the nation even at great personal risk. This mission, like that of Jehu in the Bible, signifies the power of one willing to stand up for what’s right, regardless of the opposition.
The Role of Righteous Leadership
True righteous leadership doesn’t mean perfection; it means striving to lead with integrity. In celebrating this victory, we recognize the importance of pausing, praising God, and thanking Him for the blessings of righteous leadership. This is a time to release stress, lift cortisol levels, and let joy and gratitude flood our hearts.
The Prophetic Parallel of Jehu and President Donald Trump
The story of Jehu, a biblical leader anointed by God to cleanse Israel of wickedness, has remarkable parallels to Trump’s journey. Jehu’s mission was clear: confront idolatry and evil, represented by the influence of Jezebel. Trump’s path similarly involves taking a stand against those forces that oppose God’s truth and justice, facing down corruption, manipulation, and deception.
Victory over Idolatry and Darkness
In the Bible, Jehu was anointed to destroy the house of Ahab and eradicate the influence of Baal worship in Israel. Today, we witness Trump as a figure standing against modern forms of idolatry and deception. From fake news to cultural distortions, these forces have tried to lead America astray. But through faith, truth, and resilience, we celebrate God’s intervention and deliverance.
Acknowledging the Mercies of God and Celebrating with Joy
Miriam, Moses’ sister, understood the significance of celebrating victories. When Israel was freed from Egypt, she led the people in song and dance, thanking God for His deliverance. Today, we should follow her example. God has delivered us from a path toward oppression, and it’s time to acknowledge His mercies with joyful hearts. This isn’t about politics; it’s about God’s hand at work in our lives and our nation.
A Time to Prepare for What’s Next
While we celebrate, we also acknowledge the challenges ahead. There are giants in the land, just as Israel faced giants on their journey to the Promised Land. But God calls us to stand in faith, trust in His provision, and remember that He has brought us this far for a reason.
The Importance of Gratitude in Times of Transition
Praising God opens our hearts to new blessings and reminds us of His power and love. As we reflect on this victory, let’s not grow complacent or forgetful. God’s guidance has brought us through, and with continued prayer, humility, and gratitude, we can walk into the future with hope.
Prayer and Thanksgiving for the Journey Ahead
Let’s lift up President Donald Trump and those whom God has raised to stand in the gap. We pray for their protection, courage, and discernment. And above all, we praise God for His goodness and mercy.
A Closing Prayer of Thanks
“Father God, we thank You. We praise You for the victories You’ve given us. Thank You for Your mercy, Your favor, and Your protection. We know it’s only by Your hand that we’re here. We acknowledge Your mighty works and give You all the glory, honor, and praise.
Lord, help us to use this freedom wisely. Help us to stand for You and to share Your love with the world so that many might come to know You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Let us walk forward in faith, stand strong in our freedom, and never forget to celebrate the wins that God has provided. Let us use this freedom, free speech, and religious liberty to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the One Who delivered us to our neighbor, nation, and the world.
