Suspicion Perceived Is Not Spiritual Perception

But if God's Word and the Holy Spirit live in you... 

The audacious, unorthodox actions of President Trump have cost him the good will of a lot of independent voters, establishment Republican type voters... and all liberal socialist voters. However, it is those same controversial methods which have resuscitated patriotism and generated uncommon success in healing the anemic, failing health of our nation due to Liberal Socialist leadership. Most of the things his opponents hate him for, are the very things which have drawn red blooded, raw boned America lovers and honest tax paying citizens to support him. I'm nearly 90 and, as a pastor, have dealth with tens of thousands of people in jails, hospitals, in mental institutions, the wealthy and the poor, in church and out of church, in my life-time. I can almost always tell you which people, I do not even know, who love Trump's accomplishents or hate him. They nearly always have a slight, but different, look and manner about them. I speak of a scant, subtle, outward appearance reflecting spiritual attitude. Only God can know their heart. But many Christians sence counterfeit Christians instinctively though they may not can tell you why, and if correct, will not voice it to anyone but God.  I believe it is what I think of as spiritual perception. In the president's case, I honestly cannot perceive if he is a true Christian or not. His accomplishments seem to say he is, but his personna appears not.  At any rate, God is using him at this critical moment in the world and our national history.  You might say I don't like him much ... but love him a lot.
