A Voiceless America

People are intrigued and in awe at the seeming success of the political phenomenon called Donald Trump. With some of his outlandish remarks and his brash style and tactics, a lot of people can't believe that he's still leading the polls as the Republican candidate for the Presidency of the United States. Keep in mind that not all of America is Republican, and that there are many Americans that would never vote for Mr. Trump. However, regardless of one's personal stance or opinion about him, he seems to have struck a cord with America that has allowed them to be supportive of him in this presidential race.

I am of the opinion that a lot of the "success" that Mr. Trump has had during this primary campaign is due not so much to his personal style or flair, but because of the sign of the times. One of the things that Mr. Trump has said I totally agree with: people are mad. The American people are mad, and I believe they feel betrayed. Where is the "Change" that President Obama talked about 8 years ago? The President and the Vice-President have acknowledged that while Corporate America is thriving, the wages of the worker are decreasing or stagnant at best. Who's working to change that problem? Our governmental system is inept and incompetent, and the American people are furious, disheartened and discouraged. The "in your face" style politics of Donald Trump is resonating with that segment of the population that represents what I'd like to describe as A Voiceless America.

 The real disappointment for me is the expectation of the American people. This country seems to believe that the Government is going to fix their problems. I hate to say it, but it doesn't matter who's in office, Republican or Democrat; until the Rules of the Game change, the Results will stay the same. But I do have some Good News! There is another Governmental System that people can subscribe to that will meet every one of their needs (Philippians 4). I didn't say political party, I said Governmental System. People tend to forget that Jesus is a King. He's not just the Savior, He is the King of the Universe; and His Governmental System is called the Kingdom of God. That's why His Message was the Good News. If you study the Gospels, you'll notice that Jesus didn't spend a lot of time (if any) talking about His Crucifixion, Death and Resurrection. But yet His Message was the Good News. Why? Because the Jews understood that as the Christ, Jesus the Messiah represented a brand new Order of Government that would establish a whole New Way of Life for the children of Israel (John 6). This is what America is looking for today; someone in governmental authority that can help change their way of life.

Jesus is still Alive today, and His Kingdom as readily available as it was 2,000 years ago. The problem is that the church won't represent that Jesus. We want to represent a "religionized" Jesus, not a Resurrected Christ who has ALL POWER in Heaven and earth in His Hands. If we were representing "that" Jesus, we would reflect and manifest the same Power that He demonstrated while He was here on earth. But as I've said on numerous occasions, A Kingdom Movement is about to be released in the earth. And when it is, people won't be looking to an Obama, people won't be looking to a Donald Trump, people won't looking for the next Martin Luther King, Jr. or John F. Kennedy, or whoever. They'll be looking to Jesus! And people will finally realize that Jesus the Christ, the Resurrected King and Emperor, is the answer for A Voiceless America.
