For the second time, in a few nights I stand in a spacious office watching Donald Trump place his hands on his desk, lean forward with his head down, and ask God for wisdom.
It is a sacred moment, he is alone in his office and his prayer is awkward, insecure even, but completely from the heart.
Builder stands beside me and walks to where the president elect is briefly praying to touch the back of his head before returning to where I am standing.
Suddenly we are back upon the land beneath Michael’s calf.
Builder:
“Might and power are enemies if the cross. The wisdom of this world is good for nothing other than self enrichment. God can use even the foolishness of man to confound those who think themselves wise.
This man is driven by love for his nation. He will do marvelous feats and cause the release of many blessings upon his nation. Though he appears unwise and ill disciplined to those who consider themselves wise, God has searched his heart and found him worthy to lead.
The leadership of the USA was decided in stadiums, churches and prayer rooms and the forces of might and power were deposed. This nation prayed God’s choice into power.”
Gatherer now appears before us and continues speaking where Builder stopped.
Gatherer:
“As David struggled with sin, so this man struggles with sin but as David had a heart useful to God, so this man has a heart useful to God. Thus might and power have been defied and the prayers of a united body have been heard. Now shall the prayers of the body be made manifest in their nation and in the realignment with Israel and with powerful alliances against the Islam antichrist shall this nation pick up its mantle to bring freedom and prosperity to the oppressed.”
Builder:
“Might and power are enemies of the cross. Move by the Spirit, pursue the things of the Spirit. Desire spiritual gifts, test your tree by the fruit if the Spirit.
Worldly wisdom will lead you to a precipice of compromise. Even the words of the Son as letter and law will bring death, rejection and shame but by the Spirit they bring life.
Think on these things son of sorrow. Might and power are enemies of the cross. Do not attempt to build this vision with might and power.
The kingdom is all and all that is in the kingdom is of the Spirit and by the Spirit.
Might and power are the tools of a different kingdom, a kingdom of lies and counterfeits.
If the fruit of the Spirit is not present, you are at the mercy of might and power.”
Gatherer:
“The kingdom is all and His is a kingdom that divides sheep from goats and wheat from chaff. Sheep and wheat move purely by the Spirit.
Pursue not the wisdom man, it is foolishness and vanity. Pursue the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit.”
Me:
“Might and power are enemies of the kingdom. The kingdom is not of this world but manifests the goodness of God in this world. The kingdom is all!”
I wake up.
