What if…God Still Wants Donald Trump to Win the 2020 Election? By T.LaDuke for Red State
How just simply asking a question can cause people to vapor lock in their minds and souls.
I can already feel some of the eye rolls of those reading the headline above and shaking their heads in disbelief. First off, welcome, and I hope your eyes come back to their correct position and you don’t give yourself a concussion from your head shake. I would hate to feel responsible for that.
Really. Unless you are one of those haters that are just ticked off you haven’t been picked for a cabinet spot in a possible Biden administration.

Now, let me just lay the groundwork for this post. I have struggled with writing this article for about 2 weeks and finally decided to sit down and just roll with it. I have spoken with a few people whose judgment I trust and while not all agree with the premise or even simply asking the question I have in the title, they have given me their thoughts in a straightforward manner. That is all anyone can ask for, in my opinion, so I am greatly appreciative of them.
So, here we go for what, for me, has been a thought exercise and challenging some aspects of how I view my understanding of God and my relationship with Him.
I am a CHRISTian and unabashedly so. I can’t razzle and dazzle you with scripture quotes and their numbers from chapters off the top of my head (I know John 3:16 because of that guy at football games) but I have read many of the stories in the Bible and seek out those that present scripture in a way that is broken down into small pieces for my soul and mind to digest. I am always looking for people who talk and write of the Bible and particularly the Gospels, in a manner that is direct and also not afraid to have their thoughts on it questioned and an honest discussion to be had. I can say I have learned much from those types of CHRISTians and have valued their time either in person or just watching on the interwebs.
Now, until recently, the thought of anyone actually saying that the Lord Jesus would want a particular candidate to win an election had never crossed my mind. I have never personally prayed for a candidate to win nor a sports team etc, etc. I know I have prayed the Lord to pull my rear out of some situations and thankfully He has heard and guided me, although not always in the way I thought it would happen.
