DONALD J. TRUMP
A true legend’s life is a powerful sermon, not preached from pulpits but lived out in rising to their feet after every blow life can offer.
We are deeply saddened by the recent assassination attempt on Former President Donald Trump. As a community of believers, we are called to pray for all those in authority (1 Timothy 2:1-2), and this includes our leaders, past and present.
When a man, or woman, rises to become a legend, it is not by the might of their sword, but by the depth of their endurance, the strength of their immovable mission, and at times, their integrity sheltered in their faith in Christ’s character. -SRP
It is not in fleeting victories that a legend is born but in the enduring legacy of the resilience of getting back up after they fall or are brought down by an adversary. Legends tend to leave a shadow for others to find safety securely. They shine the brightest under adverse circumstances. The more they are tested, the more powerful they become. Such a person does not merely exist, they live larger than life – not just for themselves, but for others. A legend becomes the “backbone” of a culture, society, or nation in the darkest hours of fading hope, a testament to the indomitable spirit of endurance and a living embodiment of God’s design for a warrior for humanity. In my eyes, they become a mirrored reflection of the Archangel Michael.
A true legend’s life is a powerful sermon, not preached from pulpits but lived out in rising to their feet after every blow life can offer. They are more than a mere human; they become known as legends even by those who despise them. Their story is a testament to the power of endurance, power resilience, and faith in a God-given mission. And their legacy is cemented in world history without scribing a single letter - often shining a light on a broken people, guiding others long after their time on earth has passed. This is the power of their character; this is the power of a legend. I know such a man!
DONALD J. TRUMP
Long before I served on President Trump’s Advisory Board and the Presidential Task Force, I tracked his life, beliefs, and family closely. Sure, I found some weak links in his faith in Christ. However, I knew that was an easy fix. In due time, I watched the transformation the Lord began to undertake. I can tell you this: in real life, he is not the man the media has made him out to be!
I discovered a man that was predestined to be a legend. Not the type that craved power and control, but a man who was willing to lay his life down for we the people. I saw a man on a mission. A mission that included American exceptionalism, a strong economic policy builder, a straightforward foreign policies administrator, one who promoted religious freedom, and my favorite, a devote man, who was a political outsider who refused to be managed by deep state ideologies - and this is what got him in all of his troubles.
THE DEEP STATE
The term “Deep State” is frequently used to refer to a body of hidden people, typically influential members of government agencies, large-dollar influencers, or the military, believed to be involved in the secret manipulation or control of government policy and cultural movements.
In the United States, the term has been used to describe a clandestine network of members of the federal government (especially within the FBI and CIA) working in conjunction with high-level financial and industrial entities and leaders to exercise power alongside or, usually, within the elected United States governmental officials, classically for the purpose of lining their pockets through investment manipulations.
While these members believe they are a legitimate security apparatus, others, particularly people like Donald Trump, see it as an undemocratic and dangerous force within the government. Official documents and research reveal that many of these outside investors are owners of the world’s leading media outlets - including App-driven social media venues. As an example, the world’s top social media platform allegedly promised a recent President a seat in the White House if the candidate gave him permission to hack the party’s contact list. Again, allegedly, he granted such permission, and as deep state investments would have it, he became President. This particular President became the first sitting President to always carry a smartphone with him. Thus, the online media war between the “left and the right” began. This is the exact reason that former President Trump founded and launched Truth Social.
THE TRUTH SOCIAL WAR
During the time of the online war of censorship of free speech, propagated by these deep state investors, many new platforms emerged, like Substack, Gab, and Truth Social. Initially, it was the reason Elon Musk bought Twitter. War was declared on these deep-state business owners. Today, we are beginning to see the fall of national and international deep state media outlets, which created a new form of political manipulations by weaponizing government agencies, including the domestic and Judicial court systems. Thus came the historic raid on the private residents of the former President, Donald Trump, as well as fabricating real and fake charges on his private matters.
Once these new social network platforms began to advance free speech once again, with an election year beginning, new tactics surfaced - as in creating a covert Civil War between the conservative and liberal voters. In the meantime, Presidential candidate Donald Trump was increasing in popularity and “power” that has threatened the foundation of deep-state politicians and investors.
Truth Social not only grew beyond what was expected, it united people of Truth into, mainly, an army of Constitutional defenders. Donald Trump used this platform to calm the “followers” by placing the focus on Truth and Constitutional rights without violence, which was the opposite of what the “left” was accusing him of - thus, the January 6th trials. In the end, Truth Social accomplished its mission - to unite the people of Truth to return the United States of America to its roots - thus, the overwhelming attendance of his rallies.
USING ABUSE TO THRIVE
The sign of a quality legend is found in one simple observation. How do they handle persecution, abuse, and even an assassination attempt? Mr. Trump once said the best press is negative press. He clearly understood/understands that the masses thrive on lies, not Truth. From the “lie,” he builds his case on Truth. He also knows the best time to seal a moment in history is seconds after the abuse is delivered.
An example of this is before he left the stage after the attempt of assassination, he asked the Secret Service to wait. He then raises his fist and says fight, fight for America. Due to this simple, brave action, he sealed the moment in American history and motivated the people of Truth to sustain and support his mission further. As these events unfolded, I stared at my screen and told the Lord, this man will go down in American history as a true legend.
THE MAN & A LEGEND
I have studied legends most of my adult life - I even wrote a book about such a man. During my research, I learned that most of them were surrounded by some type of war. I also learned that the more they came against cultural and political lies, the more they were hated. Finally, in most cases, they were assassinated, put to death, for being immovable in their mission. Such was the case of Yeshua/Jesus and many others who stood for Truth.
The odds are, Mr. Trumps adversaries are not finished with him. There is no rest for the wicked. Evil people are relentless until their opponent breaths their last breath, which was the case of Jesus Christ. However, as history reveals, it only sealed Jesus Christ as the ultimate legend in global history. Folks, pray for all our leaders, liberal and conservative, that God would use their persecutions to lead them to the ultimate legend, Yeshua, our Savior.
While I am bound to get some unsubscribes, kickbacks, and a few hate comments, I am going to say it - Donald J. Trump is one of my heroes. Furthermore, he WILL go down in American history as a legend - count on it. While most people won’t identify a hero until perfection is sealed, I’m the opposite. As weak as this man is AS a man, he is a work in progress that Jesus Christ manages. Yeshua is not intimidated by this man’s sin, nor mine. With a few prayers and lots of the love of God, a man like this just might become a modern-day Nehemiah.
In closing, I would like to share the words I sent President Trump:
Mr. Trump, Nehemiah rallied his troops. He knew how important it was to rally the people of God’s Truth. My friend, you are a modern-day Nehemiah. You not only started with a goal to return America back to its roots, but you have proven your willingness to lay your life down for the American people. Sir, stay steadfast in the continuation of keeping “we the people” focused on this goal. Soon they will call you a legend. However, knowing you, you will dismiss this label and continue with the mission of leading all of us through God’s leadership principles, true loyalty to our founding nation, and encourage us to preserve what our God gave this great nation. Please know, you have my prayers! Now, let’s getter done!
As long as we have faith in each other, and trust in God, then there is no goal, at all, beyond our reach. There is no dream too large, no task too great. America will no longer settle for anything less than the best. We must reclaim our destiny. We will make America strong again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again, greater than ever before. Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war. - Donald J. Trump
Dr, Phinney, terrific post. Just terrific. I will be sharing this. It's funny that you mention Nehemiah because I have been thinking about Nehemiah a lot lately. In the weeks leading up to the media-fueled, DS-fueled inevitable assassination attempt, I was thinking about Nehemiah and the team surrounding him. I pictured them building a wall (protection) by holding a brick in one hand and a sword (the word of God) in the other, with their eyes constantly watching. Over and over this has been brought to my mind. Trump is our Nehemiah, and we must work, a brick in one hand and a sword in another. We must resist the temptation to sit back and watch Nehemiah build the wall while we watch sports on television. It doesn't work that way, it won't work that way; we must FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT FOR AMERICA!
On the day of the rally, rushing to get ready for an airport run, I felt led to stop and pray for President Trump's protection. The prayer went much deeper than I was prepared for as I ended up on my face in prayer, and I had meant to just "say a quick prayer" as I was hurrying. It's a profound mystery, this thing called prayer. It's so powerful. I do wonder how many others had felt similarly led? I think that the Holy Spirit was very active that morning!
BTW, this is the second time I witnessed an angel save a life. Both times life and death were matters of under an inch.
I don't know if anyone else feels it, but heaven and earth are so close they are sometimes touching. It's an amazing time to be alive!
Equating President Trump with Nehemiah is so spot on. Thanks for taking the time to articulate this.
