As the President Donald J. Trump
Image (American Flag) prepares to leave the White House, I am making this post so it will show back up as a future memory on my timeline.
Today is the Biden/Harris Inauguration.
• Gas is currently $1.95 per gallon.
• Interest rates are 2.25 percent for a 30-year mortgage.
• The stock market closed at 30829.40 though we have been fighting COVID for 11 months.
• Our GDP growth for the 3rd Qtr was 33.1 percent.
• We had the best economy ever until COVID and it is recovering well.
• We have not had any new wars or conflicts in the last 4 years.
• North Korea has been under control and has not been testing any missiles.
• ISIS has not been heard from for over 3 years.
• The housing market is the strongest it has been in years.
• Homes have appreciated at an unbelievable rate and sell well.
• And let’s not forget that peace deals in the Middle East were signed by 4 countries—unprecedented!
• Unemployment sits at 6.7% in spite of COVID.
#Biden takes over on 1-20-21. Let's see how the next four years fair. God bless America!

Is it possible that the Democrats were so busy destroying the man Donald Trump that they did not have time or focus, to continue their destruction of the United States of America and disruption of the governments of the world with their agenda of a one world government under the power and authority of the wealthy??
While they were busy destroying the man, President Trump was busy building a better United States, under God, and a world at 'real' peace.
Remember that it is 'war' that makes the wealthy richer!!
May Donald Trump continue, as a private citizen, to distract the traitors of these United States (as a hero would distract a vicious dog from killing an innocent child) from their selfish agenda, until God allows them and their followers to destroy themselves!

The above are historical facts of the nature of man and compare to the laws of nature, such as gravity.
Similarly there are spiritual laws which we learn via the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. What laws are we conformed to or conforming to?
One concept that I consider critical in the maintenance of any nation is the place of God's morality in the lives of the leaders as well as the followers. When selfishness, greed and dishonesty rule the lives of the leaders, destruction is inevitable.

Only Jesus Christ can change the heart and nature of any man or woman. They must surrender and submit them-self to Christ's authority (through the power of the Holy Spirit) and remain in obedience to the Father's will for their individual life.
Sooo...
What is the focus of our lives? What are our priorities? What are we busy about and controlled by?
The answer, I believe, should be the Past, Present and 'Eternal' Kingdom of Heaven, God and His Son, Jesus Christ, through the wisdom, power and direction of the Holy Spirit!! Do the fruits of our lives demonstrate that the Kingdom is within us? ...upon us? ...within our grasp?
What the Word according to the NEB Translation says:
Luke 17:20 THE PHARISEES ASKED HIM, ‘When will the kingdom of God come?’ He said, ‘You cannot tell by observation when the kingdom of God comes. 21 There will be no saying, “Look, here it is!” or “there it is!”; for in fact the kingdom of God is among you.’ [Or: for in fact the kingdom of God is within you; or: for in fact the kingdom of God is within your grasp; or: for suddenly the kingdom of God will be among you.] Matthew 12:28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out the devils, then be sure the kingdom of God has already come upon you.
Luke 11:17 But he knew what was in their minds, and said, ‘Every kingdom divided against itself goes to ruin, and a divided household falls. 18 Equally if Satan is divided against is himself, how can his kingdom stand?—since, as you would have it, I drive out the devils by Beelzebub. 19 If it is by Beelzebub that I cast out devils, by whom do your own people drive them out? If this is your argument, they themselves will refute you. 20 But if it is by the finger of God that I drive out the devils, then be sure the kingdom of God has already come upon you.
John 18:36 Jesus replied, ‘My kingdom does not belong to this world. If it did, my followers would be fighting to save me from arrest by the Jews. My kingly authority comes from elsewhere.’
Mark 4 The Parable of the Growing Seed
Mark 4:26 He said, ‘The kingdom of God is like this. A man scatters seed on the land; 27 he goes to bed at night and gets up in the morning, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he does not know. 28 The ground produces a crop by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then full-grown corn in the ear; 29 but as soon as the crop is ripe, he sets to work with the sickle, because harvest-time has come.’
The Parable of the Mustard Seed - [ Mk.4.30-32 → ] - Mt.13.31-33, Lk.13.18-21
Mark 4:30 He said also, ‘How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we describe it? 31 It is like the mustard-seed, which is smaller than any seed in the ground at its sowing. 32 But once sown, it springs up and grows taller than any other plant, and forms branches so large that the birds can settle in its shade.’
