The world systems are transactional, but God’s Kingdom is relational. Personal salvation, fellowship with family and other believers, and even business and politics work better relationally than with impersonal transactions. This is now becoming visible even in geo-politics. President Trump’s first cabinet meeting is a striking example. His picks are people he knows and trusts personally. Even better, they know each other and are good friends. The camaraderie around the table was noticeable. They were having fun!
When I first saw this prayer I assumed it was a chaplain, but it was not. It was one of the new cabinet members, Scott Turner, Secretary of HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development). What a perfect example of relational government. Please don’t underestimate the broad national awakening that is now appearing right before our eyes. President Trump’s first cabinet was pretty much chosen for him because of his inexperience in that high office. This time he has had four extra years to choose like minded leaders whom he knows and can personally trust. It is about relationships! This is true for all of us across the connections of our lives. Whether in family, business, or community think relationally, not a transaction. “What can I get out of this?” Rather: “How can I serve?”
There is one more example that I must share. When RFK Jr. ran for president his running mate Nicole Shanahan was known for her leftist stance and multi-millions of dollars. Wait till you read this account of her salvation. She had converted to Judaism 12 years ago and then found Jesus the Messiah through a direct experience with demonic evil. She now says she is a Jew for Jesus! God is bringing Jews and Gentiles together around the Messiah according to Ephesians 2.
God Is Working: Days After Trump Took Office, RFK Jr’s Running Mate Came to Know Jesus – President Donald Trump’s political ascendance has coincided with what honest future historians will characterize as another Great Awakening. Moreover, Trump’s successful 2024 campaign revealed some unexpected shining stars, none brighter or more surprising than former Democrat Nicole Shanahan.
“Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.” Ephesians 2:11-16
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
