President Trump announces his re-election campaign with a very controversial opening prayer

Listen to Today's Program

JD: You know one of the things that really bothered me about the President’s announcement rally was the opening prayer by Paula White one of Donald Trump’s main spiritual advisors. What can you tell us about who she is and how she fits into President Trump’s circle of advisory?

DJ: Her relationship with the President goes back to around 2002 when he discovered her by watching her television program and she believes God told her to show Donald Trump who God is. And now she is the chair of the President’s evangelical advisory committee.

JD: But what are your thoughts about what she said in her prayer and the fact that she has so much influence in this administration?

DJ: Here are a few of the things that she said during her prayer. She said, I pray for the spirit of the Lord to rest upon our President and let your favor cause his power to be exalted. So she seemed to refer to Trump as God’s anointed and that’s a title that’s reserved for the King of Israel and ultimately for Jesus Christ is the one who will establish God’s kingdom on the earth.

And since White believes it’s the church’s responsibility to establish God’s kingdom this is not only bad theology but its dangerous theology. The more and more people are believing mixing this kind of theology with politics just won’t end well. Let every demonic network that has aligned itself against the purpose and the calling of President Trump let it be broken let it be torn down in the name of Jesus; I declare President Trump will overcome every strategy from hell and every enemy and will fulfill his calling and destiny. So this also represents White’s theology of deliverance picking authority over Satan. But Paul tells us to put on the full armor of God for a defensive stance. James says we are to humble ourselves before God and the enemy will flee. We secure victory in the name which is above every name the name of Jesus Christ.

Jimmy we just don’t have the right, the authority or the Biblical guidance to pray like this. There was no hint of an attitude of not my will but your will be done which is always the way we need to come to the Lord in prayer.

JD: David James with an explanation of the controversial opening prayer of the large campaign rally as President Trump announced his intensions to run for re-election in this coming year.

We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

We should praise the Lord that Donald Trump has a spiritual advisory board. However, we need people on that board that are theologically correct and in line with what the Bible says especially on the subject of prayer. In fact we must be correct on our Biblical understanding of prayer as found in I Jon 5:14 & 15. And also we must remember we as Christians must pray for those in higher authority, that’s I Timothy 2:1-4. Please pray for President Trump.

The Sanhedrin in Jerusalem has issued a gold coin in honor of the coming of the Davidic Dynasty

Listen to Today's Program

JD: The Sanhedrin, the 70 wise Jewish scholars who are responsible for preparing to build the next Temple. David’s Davidic Dynasty what is that? Is that what was recorded in II Samuel chapter 7 as the Davidic Covenant and the kingdom to come?

WM: The genealogical lineage going back to King David appears in many periods because as you pointed out it has Biblical bases that a future king and all that in tells in the future will come from the Davidic line. Many of our prayers refer to David, God’s servant in various direct or indirect language. His presence or the idea of a Davidic lineage is very strong in traditional Judaism. And I would presume that the Sanhedrin in their educational and conscious raising activities would think that it would be good to introduce this again in a modern way such as a medallion or a coin that would educate a future through various means and ways.

JD: Are we basically talking about when the Davidic Dynasty is back in place that coin will be used at that time; just simply a commemorative coin for today?

WM: I would think from what I saw. I haven’t held it in my hands. I think they also did a coin, I think we discussed it with President Trump being compared to Sirius and the Declaration about moving the Jerusalem Embassy. Again these are methods and ways of keeping the people alert and sensitive to the various elements within the Biblical prophecy because otherwise it just becomes a piece of paper or a simple lecture in class rather than something very alive and something you can touch.

JD: Winkie Medad explaining the purpose that the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem has issued a gold coin honoring the Jewish King David and the Davidic Dynasty.

We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Davidic Covenant as given in II Samuel chapter 7 promises the Jewish people that God will give them the city of Jerusalem to be theirs forever. It also says that the Messiah will build a Temple there and rule and reign from that Temple forever. In the promises of the kingdom to come for the Jewish people forever as well.

In order to educate the Jews and the world the Sanhedrin actually issued this gold coin. It is tangible evidence that the Lord will keep his promise to the Jewish people.
