As a strategic political media consultant for over 16 years, there were countless evils done against my conservative Christian candidates. The news media being liberal and slanting the news or writing fake news against someone who doesn’t share their same beliefs was not invented in the last election cycle.

Lies by Democratic Party candidates, lies by the media, dirty tricks, and vote stealing I have experienced it all first-hand. We were fortunate to win most of the races of those who hired us. One thing that I learned over those years is this: Evil eventually self-destructs. It makes strategic mistakes that cost its minions elections, loses empires, and if we read the prophets and Revelation, evil loses in the end.

Romans 12:21 says, “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Ephesians 6:11 says, “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

Further explaining in verse 12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Ephesians 6 goes on to instruct us to put on each piece of the armor that we may stand, pray with all perseverance, and finally to speak boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel. This is our strategic game plan to overcome the evil of those godless communists and anarchists who wish to tear down our nation.

Since losing their fourth special election-all of which was conducted with vulgar, hate-filled, and accusatory rhetoric, replete with lies and fake news-Hollywood radicals are beginning to turn on their political arm—the Democratic Party. Moreover, the visceral language is continuing from the most radical haters.

I am hearing that mainstream Democrats are starting to turn-off to this narrative. While they are died in the wool Democrats and will vote for any stooge the party puts up, they may just stay home because they don’t want to be associated with the hate. We may be reaching a point where the lack of civility will have a rebounding effect and increase the negatives against those running on the “resistance” ticket.

This is the basis for my encouraging you to engage with people, especially those you know who may not agree with you. Gently query from a position of fairness when they make a statement, by asking open-ended questions beginning with “Do you think…” In your dialogue, promote civility as the better path.

Show others the Christ in you through your kind way of expressing that the current narrative does nothing to solve any problem, except to bully and demean others. Lead them to reasonable conclusions by appealing to their sense of fairness and decency. We have an opportunity to overcome evil and counter this coup because decent people are beginning to reject the violent dialogue.

Have a Blessed and powerful day!

My brother and sister-in-law recently spent some time in Gettysburg exploring the historic battlefield. We were talking about their experience last night at dinner with my wife and son. We talked about how it is difficult to imagine that Americans turned on one another in a civil war; that neighbors fought neighbors, brothers were against brothers and the deep emotional, physical, and spiritual toll that war exacted on the country, the effects still lingering after 150 years.

The death toll of Americans in the US Civil War is estimated at approximately 700,000. We asked ourselves if there wasn’t some way to have avoided that, to have worked it out. Then the conversation turned to the hostile environment of today.

The rhetoric today is visceral.

The radical left is relentless in trying to undermine and render ineffective a duly elected president. They are using foul and vulgar language, hiding behind “art” to depict beheading and assassination of the president. They are using words that fan the flames of hate, painting the image that if anyone disagrees with their dark view of the world that those people are hate mongers, racists, bigots, and worse.

They have driven the narrative of the nation to an extreme level. The news media is part and parcel to amplifying the message of hate and rebellion. The politicians are pointing fingers and elevating accusations. The comedians and entertainers are joining the chorus with their star power.

Then we have a guy from the most gun-controlled state—Illinois, who hops in a van to another most gun-controlled area in Washington, DC, who somehow buys a semi-automatic weapon and manages to find an obscure baseball field where Republican Congressmen are practicing, and opens fire on them.

Come to find out, he had a hit list of conservatives to kill. The question that remains is this: Did he act alone or is he part of a larger movement? Certainly, with all the rhetoric that has hatefully hit the news media since the shooting, it begs the question of what is really going on in this country.

Many experienced with observing government overthrows believe we are witnessing a coup in the making.
Many others believe we are on the verge of another civil war. The violence associated with the leftist groups against those who rally in support of the president is their confirmation. Folks, we do not need Americans killing Americans as what happened in the 1860s. We do not need to become a third world nation with communists and anarchists trying to overthrow our form of government. We need to pray for peace. We need to stand for righteousness and accountability.

Jesus said in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”

We need peacemakers to speak into this charged atmosphere. Let’s use our conversations to calm down the rhetoric.

Have a blessed and powerful day!
