A breath of life    
I firmly believed the 2020 election was stolen.   
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but the Lord meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
For those who love the Lord, the devices of the enemy are turned back upon themselves or turned into good for His children.     

Joseph's faithfulness to the Lord was rewarded time and again enabling him to rise to 2nd in command over the greatest kingdom on earth at that time.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love the Lord, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
When we align with the Lord, we do those things which prosper, which bring fruit.     

We align ourselves with the Lord when we are called by the Holy Spirit and respond in faith to Christ Jesus` finished work.     

His Plan is that we be His children, be filled with His spirit, do His works and manifest His glory.

Had Trump served consecutive terms
    he would have remained under attack from a weak position
    the left would not have been exposed for what they are
    the Trump legacy would not be what it could have been.   
    America would be facing uncertainty

But with the perspective of the past 4 years and Trump's political rise from the dead, he is now in a position that no other person in American history has had.   
    he is encircling himself with strong cabinet members
    those cabinet members know clearly their challenge
    there is a unity in the cabinet that did not exist in his term
    the 2020 election fraud will be documented for posterity and perpetrators prosecuted
    illegal immigration will be dealt with formally
    the sanitation of America is possible

There is hope for a revival of the American spirit, for dealing with policy errors of the past such as
    Affirmative Action
    DEI
    Normalization of immorality
    Political Correctness fascism
    government ownership of => property => children
    socialism
    atheism as the national religion
    acceptability of lying

But because the hopes and aspirations come against long-seated, deeply-entrenched concepts, there will be a major fight such as has not been seen since the civil war.   

I fully hope and believe that wholesale violence will not occur though there will be radicals committing terrorist acts.   

The fight will be an ideological/spiritual fight - Christianity against godless atheism.   

Instead of physical violence Christians will wield the Sword Of The Spirit - the Word Of The Lord.   This will require pacifist Christians to stir up the gift that is in them and be obedient to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ.   
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
This is the Great Commission.     It is still in force.     We are expected to carry the Gospel to every creature.     

Jesus did not expect every person to believe, but He wants us to make sure all nations hear the Gospel as it is a criteria for His return.     

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Paul echoes Christ when he says we are saved by Grace Through Faith .     

As to Water Baptism, it is public evidence of faith in Christ.     It is not evidence to the Lord as He knows the heart of man.     

Paul makes it clear that Spirit Salvation is a result of Heart Faith in Christ Jesus and oral confession that Jesus is the resurrected Christ in .     

Public Confession of Christ confirms our salvation to ourselves and those to whom we witness.     It is a precursor to lifelong sharing of the Testimony Of Jesus Christ.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Jesus tells us that we will operate in His power to do signs and wonders, to exorcise demons and to speak in new tongues ( Prayer Language and messages in tongues).

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
We will not be subject to physical attacks by virtue of the Holy Spirit supernaturally empowering and protecting us.

So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of The Majesty.
Jesus appeared several times over the 40 days following His resurrection.     Jesus was received up in a cloud to sit on the Throne Of Majesty until the End Of The Age at which time He will return.

It will require willingness to be prosecuted for hate crimes, inciting riots, causing mental and emotional trauma and otherwise disturbing the peace.   

Is the church up to the task?   This is dependent on each individual's personal relationship with the Lord, the encouragement or discouragement from their pastors and the denominational leadership's choice leaning toward political acceptance or spiritual acceptance.   

In all this the Spirit And Word are vital.   We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us but He must be in us for that strength to manifest.   
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
The Holy Spirit is the Gift Of Christ Jesus Himself.     

We are weak in the flesh but by the power of His Holy Spirit we can do all things.     At the top of the list of `all things` is spreading the Gospel of salvation by Grace Through Faith.     

Jesus did not say you will receive tongues or gifts.     He said you will receive power to be witnesses unto Him.     Tongues and gifts are for the church which is the Body Of Christ.

And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
Everything Jesus said and did was by His Holy Spirit Father .     

Jesus prayed that we would be one with His Holy Spirit .     

The Disciples did not receive the Holy Spirit immediately.     

Jesus breathed upon them as a sign that the Holy Spirit would be invisble and would be the breath of spiritual life in us empowering us to go out into the world with the Gospel.
