ACQUITTED2

   Has Donald J Trump started a powerful MAGA movement in which supporters turn up in large numbers wearing red hats and waving patriotic flags to hear him speak? Yes. Did Donald J Trump galvanize millions of Americans to stand with him and support his claim the election was stolen? Yes. Did he successfully encourage tens of thousands to descend on Washington DC on January 6th to join a #saveamerica march and protest those claims? Yes. Did he at any time during the speech he made that day, or at any other time, incite or willfully encourage a small number in that great crowd on January 6th to commit illegal activity, storm the capitol building, incite them to cause injury, death, destruction of property and mayhem? No! That is why the not guilty outcome is the correct and proper one in a showcase trial which should never have been brought.

However I doubt very much the Democrats will stop. Nancy Pelosi is already calling the forty three Republicans who voted, in good conscience, against this impeachment trial 'Cowards!' The Democratic party have become unhinged in their hatred towards the former President, they have a blood thirst which apparently cannot be quenched. One such Democrat voiced their pleasure at the peace that will now descend on the USA now Trump is out of office failing to acknowledge that it was their party which brought the relentless sham impeachments and trails which so preoccupied the American people for four years.

I know many Christians all over the world have been, are praying in large numbers for the man, his movement and the USA. Moved by his encouragement of religious freedoms and free speech, his favourable policies toward Israel and his stance on abortion and the pro life movement. However I firmly believe it is because of these prayers so much is being shaken, so much hatred is being uncovered, so much corruption and blatant hypocrisy is being revealed. It isn't that long ago that we were seeing similar happenings in the UK over Brexit. Brexit was nothing more that a power struggle. Those in power cling tightly to it and fight hard and nasty to keep hold of it.

Jesus understood the times we are living in only too well. He was the most righteous man who ever lived however from the moment he opened his mouth they were plotting to kill Him, to destroy Him, to silence Him. His heart toward them was to heal them, for them to see their great need and turn to Him. "For this people's heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.' (Matthew 13:15.) He was the great healer, a man of great compassion and love, and yet they screamed "Crucify", "Crucify." Many are calling for the nation of America to heal and to come together in unity. However unity must be real, it must be grounded in truth, peace and love. You cannot fake it, it cannot be forced. His Kingdom come, His will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. True peace can only come when the people invite Him 'The Prince of Peace' into their hearts into their lives, into their governments. Then a nation can change. Then a nation can heal. Then you will see true unity, then you will see true peace.
