God’s Man in the White House. James A Beverley

pieces of mail in the last 24 hours, here is my conclusion:

      Some Christians appear to be absolutely infuriated at the thought or prophetic word that God is going to use Donald Trump as a Trumpet to expose darkness and bring truth because of His moral background and political views. Perhaps God not being limited, subjected, and dependent to who human beings think He should use for His glory reveals their own issues with God, not a prophetic word.

      I, like many of you, was shocked by the word I received regarding Donald Trump. Trust me when I say it was given with fear and trembling. Again, I am not called to prophesy what I think or what my opinion is. I simply deliver the word of the Lord and encourage the saints to test and judge what has been spoken.

      I will publicly repent to the body of Christ if what was prophesied does not come to pass.

      Johnson’s July 15 prophecy led to enormous response, including heavy criticism. Johnson has a chapter on his 2015 prophecy and the subsequent controversy in his book Trump, 2019, and Beyond, released in 2019. These statements from Johnson (copied from a third-party website) were originally on Facebook but were taken down.

      Donald Trump Is the New Word of God?

      Benjamin Corey at Patheos site

      Benjamin Corey mocks the Jeremiah Johnson prophecy from Charisma: “I’m not going to lie, what I just read is the dumbest thing I’ve read in my life. I’m not trying to be overly or unnecessarily critical, either. It just really, truly, is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. I had to read it three times to make sure it wasn’t the Onion.”

      After quoting Johnson, Corey writes, “God has given Trump a tender heart to help the poor and immigrants? People will be blessed by his compassion? Apparently God hasn’t been watching the news. Or seen his twitter feed. Or met him.”

      The Christian Post

      “There’s often a fine line between confidence and arrogance, between self-assurance and pride (often, the line is anything but fine), and, to many of us following you with interest, you seem to have crossed that line. Pride really does kill! So, my heartfelt suggestion to you, sir, is that you humble yourself before your Creator, that you recognize your sins and shortcomings, asking Him for forgiveness through the cross, and that you ask Him to help you to be the kind of man that America (and the nations) need at this critical time in world history.”

      “With more than 20 men and women from the two major political parties now vying to be nominated to a try for the presidency in the 2016 general election, it’s admittedly a little tricky to sort out better from best. But in this unique lineup, it shouldn’t be so hard to identify the fraudulent worst.”
