As I now think about what is happening between the House and Trump it is apparent that this situation is effecting far more than our own country. Trumps recent actions against Iran are being challenged by Speaker Pelosi.
Again, I hate to say what I’m about to say, but based on what is now happening with the limitation being considered of Trumps power to engage this enemy we probably will see a much worse effect, than what it intends. At present Iran has “saved face and stood down”. Why have they done this? Speculation is that they fear this president. But if the presidents power to act is limited does that not remove that fear and place us in worse shape than we were before his action?
As I have said before in this country with our media situation, perhaps for us the very worst Iranian act of retaliation against those of us in this country would be to take action against the few in number who are conservative media news personalities who still seem to believe in God and His blessings on our country.
President Trump often names these who support him and his Administration’s agenda, against the actions of those in congress and the media. The fact that these are still out to take him down makes our nation seem much weaker in the eyes of any and all enemies of the US.
We become even more prone to attack within the homeland when we are perceived to be weak. Remember:
“Former CIA operations officer, Sam Faddis, warned that Hezbollah sleeper cells were hiding in the U.S. and potentially had targets in its sights.
‘It is more than possible that Hezbollah has sleeper cells in the United States ready to strike,’ Faddis told DailyMail.com.
‘Based on what we know we must assume they do and that they can hit targets on U.S. soil at anytime without warning.’”
If the Iranian’s, who control Hezbollah, want to take revenge because they perceive Trump to be weakened, this would seriously embolden Iran. And if Trump’s only media supporters would be his greatest loss, and ours as what they perceive to be Christians (the great Satan); then what better and more vulnerable target could they find to bring destruction to their enemy. I also said this before, but without a conservative media the Democrats would own the media, and virtually the country. Socialism would come to The US almost overnight.
But what does God intend to allow for this country. Time will tell, but if further retaliation does come from Iran, it will not be because Trump is strong and takes action against our enemies, but because our Congress is weak and ties his hands making him weak as well.
The thing that remains certain is that Iran occupies the land called Persia in the Bible and as such she will play a major role in the prophetic end time future of the world. And Many believe that the US is not even mentioned in Scripture during that coming time.
There is one other certainty. Iran is a hard hearted doomed instrument in the hand of God, for He has said concerning the seed of Abraham: “I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.” This was His promise to any and all who interact with Israel, and her seed.
Iran’s fate is already sealed. But if there is to be a downfall for The United States, it is well on its way.
I don’t believe that the Congress can do much. The executive branch power is in the constitution but they can use the power of the purse agaisnt Trump that I love as my president.

Pelosi, said today that that can limit when he can act without congressional approval. But I understand your point. Congress certainly does not obey the constitution however today, all in the name of impeachment. Good to hear from you. Keep up the good work.

Hi Jerry, good mornin to you. 🙂
You know something?
I used to be a conservative to the max.
I was all about Rush Limbaugh and fox news, but God has changed my heart in many ways.
No, I am not a Democrat, or a liberal,…but I’m no longer identify with being patriotic, conservative, or Republican.
They’re all worthless to me now.
Escalation is the result of retaliation. And it’s all bad.
We should pull all of our people out of every where, bring them home, and never get entangled in foreign wars again.
Who cares what some other country thinks of us?
Strife and fighting needs to end once and for all.
I’ll tell ya buddy, I’m convinced that patriotism is one of the most wicked sins out there. (Regarding ANY country).
Pledge allegiance???
To a secular government???
Pledge allegiance???
To anything that is not God???
Not me and my family.
We bow the knee only to tge risen Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you very much for allowing me to share my thoughts about patriotism and foreign conflicts.

Any Time Lee. Just a few thoughts though. God Himself promised to Abraham that He would create of him nations. He God chose Israel to bless. He teaches us to pray for our leaders. He teaches us to respect life which conservatism seems to support while liberalism seems to ignore. I do understand that our allegiance is to God not to a nation. Many Christians apparently feel as you do, because it is estimated that almost half do not vote. If they did vote and would vote for honoring God and His righteousness we would not have a nation divided as we now do, but one that fears and respects God as a light shining on a hill for the entire world to see. Maybe I’m wrong, but maybe I’m right.

It’s okay if we see things differently, so long as we can express our views with civility and kindness toward one another.
