Wednesday saw a riot at and inside the Capitol Building, followed by strong condemnation of President Trump by Democrats and media. Many Republicans abandoned support for his contesting the electoral vote count, and the President soon after seemed to put a halt to his own efforts. Many of us felt speechless, not knowing how to make any sense of it.

So let me take a stab at it. The far Left infiltrated the crowd and instigated the storming of the Capitol Building. The Capitol Police leadership was in on it, having refused federal help and then sending some men home earlier in the morning, despite knowing that the demonstration would be headed there a bit later, with the police then actually removing barricades and escorting the crowd in. Frustrated unthinking patriots were drawn into the heat of the moment. It was a perfect setup to create a scandal to pin on the President, and yes, his “Wild” rhetoric played right into it.

The Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself), swung right into action, and even most Republicans folded like an accordion. It was an orchestrated hit job, and it worked spectacularly.

Where does this leave us? Pretty much at the end of human ability. The President apparently has resigned himself to a transfer of power. (To be sure, that is distinct from conceding losing the election, which he did not do. This is a critical point legally and spiritually, and we need to keep it in mind.)

It leaves us totally dependent upon the Lord, and upon our prayers, a la 2Chr 7.14. We are at a Lazarus moment: “Lord, if You were here my brother would not have died”. The sisters thought that Jesus had shown up too late. But God never shows up late; He is always on time.

The prophets I listen to all say that Trump won and that he will still prevail. One even looks for a turnaround to come as late as March. For better or worse, I believe them. I don’t understand the details, but I know this battle is worth fighting, and the costs of losing it are unthinkable.

I commend everyone to the “Give Him 15” daily prayer series by Dutch Sheets, on Youtube and some Christian TV networks. It has been excellent.

God bless and be well.
