Be Encouraged: There Is Hope for the Future

Over the past few months, there has been a lot of excitement in this nation. Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected to a second term as president, and a lot of people are waking up to the truth. Things are beginning to take a turn for the better after years of discouragement.

Sad to say, much of the blame for that discouragement lies at the feet of the church. Many of the organizations trying to get Christians to respond to cultural, social, and political issues approach things from a negative standpoint. They typically talk about how bad everything is.

I will admit that we need to recognize that America is still in a crisis situation. Just because the election is over doesn’t mean our work is done. If Christians don’t get involved, we could still lose this nation. And while I agree that sometimes, before you edify a person, you have to terrorize them, that’s not always what we need.

It reminds me of a football coach talking to his players before a game. He could say about the opposing team, “They’re really big—bigger than us—and we don’t have a chance against them. But go out there and do the best you can!” Similarly, a military officer could talk to a group of soldiers and tell them, “A lot of you are going to be killed in the fighting today.” Those things may be reality, but talking like that doesn’t encourage people to get into the fight and stay there.

That’s why we created the Hope for the Future video. I am convinced that we are going to win this battle, no matter what the circumstances look like.

Now, talking about politics is not really my strong point. I’m all for it, and that’s the reason that we started Truth & Liberty. But I get in trouble all of the time because of the things that I say! I can quote Scripture, but I just don’t know all of the statistics and jargon people use when talking about politics. If it’s not in the Bible, I just have trouble with it. That’s why we have people like Richard Harris serving as executive director and expert guests on our Truth & Liberty Show.

All the same, the Lord shared three encouraging prophetic words with me over the past few years. I believe they show that we are going to see the tides turn in our nation. I admit that as we witness the erosion of biblical values in our culture, it may seem like things can only get worse, especially for believers. But I believe the Lord has shown me that things will get better. We will win if we just don’t quit!

Now, I know some Christians will ask, “What about Paul, Peter, and those in the early church who stood their ground and were crucified, beaten, and martyred as a result?” Church history is full of people who gave their lives for the Gospel. But the difference is that they were planting the Gospel in those nations; we are reclaiming the ground the Gospel once held in ours. This nation was founded on the Bible and dedicated to the Lord from its inception.

God established this nation. It may not be fully functioning as a Christian nation right now, but that’s only because ungodly people have been trying to change it and lead us farther away from our godly founding principles.

America is the nation that we were given, and we’ve got to stand up and fight for it. I believe we have prophetic words from God that show we’re going to win this battle.

One of the prophecies the Lord shared with me is that we’re going to see the woke culture in America turn around. And by the 250th anniversary of this nation in 2026, even the secular news media is going to have to admit it.

I recently heard that universities and colleges across the United States have gotten rid of their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) departments. Also, major corporations like Ford, Target, Tractor Supply, John Deere, Harley-Davidson, Lowe’s, and even Coors and Bud Light have backed away from DEI. Businesses that used to support gay pride month are now backing away from it.

It’s almost as if they are saying that there is no place for those things in their business. A lot of it is because they’re seeing their profits go down the toilet! In other words, if you go woke, you’ll go broke.

Because of this past election, we’ve learned that there are still millions of people in this nation—and not just Christians—who are tired of this stuff. If we will just stand up and use the faith that God has given us, we will overcome. No mountain will stand before us.

I believe that we’re fighting from a position of victory. Our inalienable rights are already secured, and we’re taking a stand. We are going to see things turn around!
