A lot of emotions are running through my mind as I sip on coffee from a cup Chris and I bought in Valley Forge with a sculpture of George Washington facing me. It is a reminder of my ancestors who overcame so much during the Revolutionary War to carve this great nation into being. It was the Lord that was with them then. It is the Lord that is with us today as Donald Trump overcame the forces of tyranny to win back the presidency.

This is a historic moment and one that I believe offers America a reprieve from the darkness of those demons that have dragged this country down into the miry pit. And while the insane left stands in shock, this change is an opportunity for all to reset toward a better world.

All the lawfare, fear-mongering, assassination attempts, lying, and politicking came to no avail as the American people overwhelmed the ballot box for Trump. When Romans 13:1 is quoted today: “For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God,” let everyone and all be settled that this was a hand of God election. People voted. God delivered.

In this present generation, there never has been such an election. Satan used a political party to throw every legal, political, and physical obstacle at Trump. He (and Americans) survived assassination attempts, the corrupt legal system, personal attacks, a corrupt media, election interference, and more for over a decade. For if they can do it to Trump, they can do it to the rest of us.

This should be a message to those who sit in their depressed stage of wonder: evil eventually destroys itself.

So self-righteous were those who proudly supported some of the most immoral and unthinkable acts—the grooming of America’s children into homosexuality and transgenderism; the rabid commitment to kill babies in the womb; human trafficking of women and children because of no border security; attacking Christians for their faith; creating a deadly drug crisis; sending billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars to terrorists while saying they support Israel.

All the while, they destroyed the US economy, drove up inflation, and flooded the country with illegals for political and economic exploitation. These things are evil. Thank God for the break and the opportunity to do good. Maybe now the scales can be reset.

You see, we have our work cut out for us. We have bought some time. There are only promises of a better, more righteous future for our nation. We must hold accountability—not the type of accountability of judgment and condemnation to our fellow citizens who disagree with us and are blinded by the god of this world, but the accountability of the standard of Christ in whom we believe and are disciples.

From protecting our children to the treatment of Israel to freedom of religion, we must stand in the gap and make the hedge. We must be ever vigilant that our nation is fully advantaged by the mercy our Lord has bestowed upon us. Let us continue to pray, act, repent, and seek the Lord that he may forgive our sin and heal our land.

A week ahead of the presidential election, an analysis of the electoral votes underscores the tremendous uphill battle for Donald Trump to win the election and the built-in advantage of Kamala Harris.

Whether a state requires voter identification to vote, if voter rolls are up to date, and if ballots can be authenticated, all play an essential role. In this constitutional republic, only qualified voters are allowed to vote in a presidential election. Those requirements are one must be 18 years of age, an American citizen, meet their state’s residency requirements, and be registered to vote. Some states, as you will see in this analysis, game the system toward Democrats, greasing Kamala Harris’ path to election victory.

Currently, there are 15 states that do not require voter identification to cast a vote for president. They are: ME, VT, MA, NY, PA, MD, NJ, IL, MN, NM, NV, CA, OR, WA, and HI. These states comprise 207 of the 270 electoral votes needed to secure the presidency. It’s interesting that all these states are traditional Democratic Party strongholds and have voted for Democratic Party presidential candidates in the past. In addition, states won by Democrats in the last three of four presidential elections, or all four of the last four elections, are MI, WS, CO, VA, and NH. They represent another 51 electoral votes.

Before any presidential election even begins, the Democratic Party candidate has an advantage of 258 electoral votes.

“Mail-in ballots without excuse” allowed for massive mail-in votes that were virtually impossible to authenticate. In addition, there are 27 states and the District of Columbia that allow ballot drop boxes. Most of those states vote or lean Democratic. Twelve states specifically prohibit ballot drop boxes. It’s interesting that those states vote or lean Republican. In both non-voter ID states and those allowing ballot drop boxes, the prohibition on voter roll purging comes into play. Unqualified voters—such as illegal aliens and dead people—can pose as someone and cast their votes without authentication. It is no coincidence that states leaning or voting for Democratic Party presidential candidates have these methods written into law.

Considering the mail-in and voter roll issues in Georgia, Arizona, and Washington, DC during the 2020 election, Democrats were able to gain another 30 electoral votes, bringing the built-in electoral vote advantage to 288 of the 270 needed to elect a president. Republicans have to be extremely effective to win a presidency under these conditions. This is why ballots need to be secure, and the best way to secure a ballot is by paper ballot. That way, ballots match the number of voters in each precinct—no over-voting.

Voter ID, up-to-date voter rolls, and ballot security are paramount. They are all compromised in Democratic Party-controlled states, making it nearly impossible for a Republican to win the presidency.

Christ said in Matthew 24:4, “Take heed that no man deceive you.”

Prayer, action, and the hand of God are necessary.
