I’m taking time off from blogging to seek direction from the Lord in prayer.

We are dealing with a tsunami of evil. This is not just Donald Trump, although he is definitely the catalyst and the direct cause of this implosion of our democracy.

But this whole debacle has been a long time coming. It is backed and ultimately controlled by a shadow cabal of billionaire fascists who have ambitions to conquer the world through the same machinations that have allowed them to take over the United States government. Their willing accomplices in this have been Christian clergy, as well as some Jewish clergy, who have sold themselves and their prophetic and teaching voices to billionaire money and government power.

There is no evil so dark that Trump’s whore clergy will not pull some Bible verse or obscure Church teaching to use to excuse it. They will even claim that evil is righteousness. They pervert the Gospels and the 2,000 year teachings of Christianity in order to open the door to Satan and all his lies.

They use bullying, slander, shunning, mockery and blasphemy of every sort to herd their trusting followers into line and march them off the cliff of ultimate destruction. They teach their followers that accepting and supporting cruelty, lies, sexual perversion, bribery, extortion, theft, rape, pedophilia, corruption, concentration camps, and, finally, death are all God’s will, and that they must throw their consciences to the dogs or face expulsion from their “church.”

This is not small-time evil. It is organized, heavily financed, massively promoted through podcasts, right wing media, and the pulpit on a national and international scale. It is now being enforced by violence and imprisonment right in front of to our eyes. ICE appears to be Trump’s private police and Gestapo. And now the United States military — armed troops — are patrolling our nation’s capitol.

The outrageous effort to re-draw congressional seats in Texas, Missouri and other “red” states that are under Trump’s control is an out-front and open plan to steal the upcoming 2026 election.

The Republican Party is so completely controlled by Trump and this billionaire cabal that they have become the enemy of our democracy.

I know this is a hard pill for long-time Republicans to swallow. So many of you have thought of the Republican Party as something next to God for so long. Your churches, your friends, family and everything you hear justifies and enforces what amounts to idolatry of the Republican Party and Trump. But the fact is, the Republican Party of today is nothing like the Republican Party you have supported all these years.

It has reached the point that voting for a Republican is the same as voting to destroy America.

This is, as I said, a tsunami of evil. It is from the pit of hell. It is not just Trump. Trump brought this down on us, but what he brought is an entire regime of evil. Everyone around Trump is part of it. If it is not stopped, a lot of people are going to suffer and a lot of people are going to die.

I am fully aware that we are engaged in both a political and spiritual battle. I have felt for months now that this is, as Jesus said on the night He was taken, “satan’s hour.”

I’m not being metaphorical when I say MAGA is satanic. That’s what it is.

I’m not using hyperbole when I say that Trump’s whore clergy are satan’s apostles. That’s what they are.

I am not trying to scare anybody when I say that if you abandon Jesus Christ and the Gospels to follow Trump, you will go to hell. You will.

I am not venting when I say that our shepherds have failed utterly to lead us in the paths of righteousness in this time. They have.

Unbelievable as it may seem; unbelievable as it is; We — you and I — are the ones God will use to stop this evil.

We are alive at this moment, put here by God, now, on this day, in this time to take a stand for our democracy, and true Christ-centered, Gospel-believing, 10-Commandments following, Sermon on the Mount Christianity.

We — you and I — are the faithful remnant. As the world counts these things, we’re not strong enough, wise enough, rich enough, powerful enough or significant enough to matter. But we are not alone. If those who are opposing us had eyes to see, they would see a vast army of the host of heaven standing with us.

That’s why I’m taking time away from everything else to pray. You cannot defeat satan with satan’s weapons. And I do not intend to try.

I’m praying. And waiting.

I’m praying and waiting for God to tell me what to do next.
