I believe in God's will. I also believe Satan walks the earth to steal, kill and destroy. 1 Peter 5: 8-9 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
Update on my previous comments: 12-17-20, The Director of National Intelligence reported to our President that the report due by 12-18-20 will not be finished by then. It seems some career Obama-ites in the various agencies are dragging their feet on reports to the DNI. and the report will not be ready till January. Unfortunately for them, Trump can simply fire the footdraggers and they only call suspicion to themselves and may make them subject to the penalties in the order. It does not matter if the report is this month or next, justice will be done.
The hearing in Washington D.C. yesterday had several republican senators and represenatives say they will contest the electoral vote January 6th, which is their right. Seven States Republican legislators sent alternate electors to the electoral college to preserve their right to have their votes counted and the other electors nullified. All it takes is one senator and one represenative to raise objection to the electoral college vote. Then everything stops and the senate and the house meet separately to discuss. What happens after gets complicated, but this process is in the constitution. The end result is Donald J. Trump will be sworn in January 20,2021, to begin his 2nd term.
A most excellent and true article. If just one single molecule is outside of God’s direct control, He is then no longer God. All that happens, is and was known well before the beginning of time.
Like I said on Erick's website, if I am wrong, there will be no more words from me. I had clicked the unsubscribe button at least 5 different times, yet I am still being charged. So I will keep offering my opinion. Look up Trump's executive order no. 13848. It is a matter of public record. Pay attention to the date it was issued, 9-12-18. When you read it you will see what a master chess player Donald J. Trump is. The order describes sanctions for foreign involvement in our elections. 12-18-20, the report from the Director of National Intelligence is due as required by the order. It goes to the president and all relevant agencies "for action". Remember the DNI was put in place above all U.S. agencies after the debacle of 9-11-2001. Director Radcliffe is quoted as saying several days ago that "Joe Biden will not be sworn in as president, he is compromised by China." Homeland security official who said this was the cleanest election on record, was immediately fired. The Defense secretary was replaced. William Barr resigned. All coincidences? I do not think so.
I wondered myself why Trump did not act sooner. The Trump legal team pushed to have legislative hearings in all the swing states about the election fraud to bring attention to the majority of the people, just how massive the fraud was. All the legal challenges will play out, and that brings attention to more people, not just Trump supporters. It is now a matter of public record that the election is contested. Donald J. Trump has shifted public opinion so a majority think something very wrong happened.
Executive order 13848 was covered on fox news when it was activated and at that time Trump declared a National Emergency. That national emergency has been active for 2 years now. The legislative branch makes the laws. The Supreme Court rules if those laws are constitutional or not. The President is responsible for national security and has taken the oath to protect against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The president has all the legal powers necessary to accomplish that. The executive order seems to have flown under the radar for over 2 years. It describes everything that happened in the 2020 election yet it was issued 2 years ago! Trump saw this coming. The order originally came about because democrats had been screaming about the election of 2016 being stolen from Hillary by foreign interference. When this executive order came out, democrats said" too little, too late". Actually there are a huge amount of penalties in the order. Trump warned the various state officials in swing states not to certify fraudulent votes. They did, so now they are subject to the penalties in the order.
The Supreme Court made it clear that they are not interested in intervening in this election. So after the you know what hits the fan and democrats go running to the Supreme Court, they will get the same response the Trump team got. They cannot over rule the executive branch in matters of national security in any case.
Look for massive high profile arrests and property and bank account seizures to start happening. The only date that is mentioned in the constitution is January 20. All other dates mean squat. There is plenty of time to undo what has been done.
Does the above sound like some fantasy. Probably to some. This year has provided many plot lines for authors to pursue. If I am wrong, I will be the first to admit it. Please read the executive order 13848 before you make any judgements.
Erick, columns such as this help me to find peace in such a troubling time. As a sinner, I know God, am filled with the Holy Spirit, and sit at the foot of the cross covered by the blood of Jesus.
Those who don’t believe in God, don’t believe in Satan. That should be very scary to them. He’s a powerful force with which to reckon.
But, just recognizing, God’s in charge doesn’t absolve us from the responsibility of living our best lives.
Don’t forget to Vote Loeffler and Perdue!! Some time between now and January 5, 2021.
May you all have a blessed Christmas and a Happy-er New Year🎉
Yes, Erick, and Amen! All this stuff happens for our good, for the good of us who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.
Well now, what are called to do now?
Pray about that.
But Erick, help me understand something. With proud thuggish crowds rumbling through the streets of our Capital--crowds who claim to represent the deposed president, crowds who stood back, then stood by and waited for this moment so they could . . .
vandalize churches! and strike fear into the Christian brothers and sisters therein. ?
How can our republican brothers and sisters in the Lord stand by and watch such rebellious acting-out, and endorse it by their silence?
You say God's will is being done. I hope you can see God's will in what is about to happen on or about 12-18-20. I will not say more about it, but if I am wrong, I will not say another word about vote fraud, but if I am right, an atomic blast is about to hit the democrats. Yesterday, I skimmed through the mainstream media channels and they were crowing about Biden's win in the electoral college. No one on the democrat side seems to be aware of the atomic bomb coming at them. We will know soon enough.
I believe everything you say. It is so hard as a practicing, faithful Catholic to watch Joe Biden who calls himself Catholic. He acts as far away as I know Catholic teaching to be. But who am I to judge? You shall know them by their fruit.
Right on Erick. As folks have noted, the challenge for us is to try to determine God’s will in this election, continue to follow Christ, And pray for our country. We are not called to ignore evil when we see it. With Biden’s and Harris’ positions on abortion, there is evil at work.
Thoughtful piece, sir. 101 indeed. Perhaps in another forum we might discuss the fact that Scripture does not teach, say or intimate that God turned His back on Jesus. He did not, and neither will He turn His back on us although we certainly can see why He could. His love is beyond our finite ability to comprehend Christ's sacrifice, and that our Lord was not forsaken.

Truly encouraging words of Truth! Thank you.
Praise be to the name of God forever and ever;
wisdom and power are his.
He changes times and seasons;
he deposes kings and raises up others.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
Daniel 2:20-21

Thanks Erick. Great read.
God either makes something happen or He allows something to happen so that He can use it for good.
I see Trump's election more so the former. I see Biden,s election more so the latter. It'll be interesting to see what good God brings out of this.
Yes, Erick, and Amen! All this stuff happens for our good, for the good of us who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.

Thank you. This may be 101, but you have a way of teaching that helps those of us who didn't grasp it the first time round.
There's a purpose to this. To the election, to the hate, to the pandemic. That makes it less...frightening, maybe.
Thoughtful piece, sir. 101 indeed. Perhaps in another forum we might discuss the fact that Scripture does not teach, say or intimate that God turned His back on Jesus.

Amen. The Father didn't promise us a rose garden. (That's a terrible pun, but it's too good to take out.)
