Are Politicians Afraid of God?

     The question of whether politicians are afraid of God really touches on important ideas about leadership, morality, and being responsible. When we talk about "fear of God” in a spiritual sense, it's not about being scared of punishment, but about showing respect, awe, and understanding that there is a higher power to whom everyone is answerable. For politicians, this kind of fear ideally leads to humility, fairness, honesty, and a sincere dedication to serving the people. 

 

    Some politicians truly bring this sense of reverence into their public service. They view their roles not just as jobs, but as a calling. To them, governing is like a form of stewardship, and they consider their decisions carefully, knowing that their authority is temporary while God’s authority lasts forever. When these leaders take action, they often do so with kindness, fairness, and honesty, believing that their choices will be judged by a divine standard. 

 

    However, for many others, politics tends to shift away from serving God or the community and becomes more about maintaining power. You might hear references to faith or God in speeches, campaign slogans, or prayers, but underneath it all, the primary focus is often on political survival rather than spiritual responsibility. Sometimes, mentioning God can seem more like a strategic move rather than a heartfelt expression. This isn’t necessarily a sign that they reject God entirely, but it might suggest that their “fear of God” is often overshadowed by worries about losing votes, influence, or wealth. 

 

    Ultimately, the actual test of whether politicians genuinely fear God isn’t just in their words, but in their actions. Leaders who truly fear God will stand up for justice, even when it might cost them politically. They will also speak the truth, even if it's not popular, and serve those who are most vulnerable, even when there's little personal reward. On the other hand, leaders who lack this fear might bend rules, silence their conscience, and justify corruption to protect their interests and ambition. 

 

    So, are politicians afraid of God? The honest answer is that some are, and some are not. What we see now is their fear of one man, who doesn't follow God's principles. But maybe a more critical question is whether we, the citizens, want leaders who genuinely respect and fear God, and let that guide their actions. In a society where people accept empty words rather than actual, godly deeds, politicians will inevitably reflect that lack of accountability.  

 

Judgment Based on Hearsay!

“The American people must be able to have full confidence in the honesty of the members entrusted with setting policy and overseeing the Federal Reserve,” Trump wrote in the letter sent to Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook on Monday, August 26, 2025. “In light of your deceitful and possibly criminal conduct in a financial matter, they cannot and I do not have such confidence in your integrity.” Another distraction, the lying tyrant is using to keep everyone from thinking about his connection with Epstein. The truth will come out. He plans to oust her following allegations that she falsified mortgage documents. This is another way to escalate his battle for more control over the US central bank that unnerved investors. After all, he has been trying to remove Powell since Powell won’t bow to kiss Trump’s ring.

 

Fed Chair Jerome Powell suggested interest rate cuts may be needed due to a slowing labor market, despite inflation remaining above the Fed's target, signaling that the central bank's policy stance may need adjustment. He highlighted concerns about potential employment downturns, indicating that shifts in economic risks could warrant a policy adjustment. However, Powell also emphasized that the Fed remains committed to its goal of price stability and will strike a balance between the employment and inflation aspects of its dual mandate.

 

Lisa Cook has the honor of being the first Black woman to serve on the Fed Board of Governors in Washington. Trump’s claims seem to stem from a White House ally who alleged she made false statements regarding mortgage loans. It’s often the case that such accusations are based on hearsay, with no solid evidence—just seeds of doubt planted intentionally. Sadly, it seems the media tends to focus more on sensational stories rather than uncovering the whole truth. Many journalists have been under pressure for years and sometimes feel compelled to follow management’s instructions, especially since sensational news tends to attract more attention and revenue. It’s a challenging environment, but it’s essential to keep striving for honest and thorough reporting to owners.

 

Don’t be fooled. Trump tries to make us think he’s against black people and their culture. He wants everyone to believe he aims to erase and rewrite black history. We see him targeting any organization that supports DEI and racial diversity. Even now, he’s going after blue states and sanctuary cities. This seems part of a plan to divide us, but his true goal might be to weaken and destroy the United States by any means necessary. He uses long-standing hate that exists among people to cause discord. Federal Departments are being used at his disposal to dispense his revenge on those who reject his will. The evil that never sleeps keeps Trump restless. Know this! God doesn’t sleep, either. Even though Trump does not seem to believe in God, he believes in himself. I hope that he realizes that Satan was cast out of heaven, thinking that he was greater than God. God will always be in control. Trump has lost his way. It’s not too late to repent and rescind those executive directives.

 

Meanwhile, the country remains silent to the calls for justice. The loudest voices are always the fringes. America would rather stay on the sidelines. It costs too much to get involved, and no one wants to lose what they worked for. Many people refrain from speaking up because they fear backlash, social isolation, job loss, or being targeted if they dissent. Silence can feel safer than confrontation. People are wired to seek a sense of belonging. Speaking out may risk separation from the group, so people stay quiet to maintain harmony or avoid conflict. Sometimes people aren’t sure what’s right or lacks clarity, so they will wait for someone else to take the lead before expressing themselves. Many people assume “someone else” will speak up or take responsibility; this can lead to collective inaction. 

 

From my perspective, I notice that many Evangelicals and so-called Christians with morals aren't speaking out against injustices, especially when it comes to people who have broken the law, like rapists, idolaters, pedophiles, and other felons. It seems that most of us often stay quiet not because we agree, but because silence feels easier, safer, or less costly. Even if our opinions align, we might still choose to remain silent. After all, silence doesn’t fill empty spaces. Let’s remember that speaking out can be important in making a difference.

 

This is the America we live in. Let’s pray that the name America remains. This is a land filled with both promise and struggle, where freedom and division often walk side by side. Our history is complex, our present uncertain, and our future yet to be written. Yet through all the trials, America has stood as a name that represents hope, resilience, and possibility. In times when our unity feels fragile and our values are tested, we must remember that the name “America” carries weight beyond politics or ideology; it represents generations of sacrifice, dreams, and determination. Let us pray that the name America remains—not just as a title on a map, but as a living testimony of a people who continue to strive for justice, peace, and truth. Is that enough excuses, America?

Get the evidence, get the facts. Make your conclusions and ignore hearsay. Then decide and act. Don't make excuses. Vote!

Prayer is Intentional!

My wife is a deeply devoted prayer person; she prays for everything as it’s part of her nature. Sometimes her prayers are long, but they’re always meaningful and heartfelt because she's covering so much. She’s an intercessor, and I’ve been learning to appreciate her prayers more. When I say she prays a lot, I truly mean she prays for health, peace, patience, understanding, love, joy, compassion, discipline—basically all the qualities found in the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Often, she’s praying for patience, which I personally struggle with. Even when I don't immediately see the patience, I remind myself that her prayers come from a genuine place, and she’s taking her time to approach God’s throne with love, humility, and respect. It honestly surprises me sometimes, but I know I need to get used to her way of praying, because it’s part of who she is. 

 

Prayer is more than a recitation of words—it is an intentional effort of the heart, mind, and spirit to reach beyond oneself. The act of praying takes discipline. It requires quieting the noise of life, turning inward, and lifting one’s attention to the unseen. The effort of prayer is in the honesty it demands. True prayer often strips away pretense, exposing our vulnerabilities, hopes, and fears. To pray is to be willing to pause in humility, to admit that we cannot carry everything alone, and to place our trust in something greater—whether we call it God, Spirit, or Love itself. The fact is, God is love.

 

The effects of prayer are subtle and powerful. Sometimes they are outward, seen in the way situations shift, opportunities open, or relationships are restored. But more often, the effects are inward. Prayer softens the heart and clarifies the mind. It strengthens patience, cultivates gratitude, and releases burdens that weigh heavily on the soul. Through prayer, people discover resilience where they thought none existed. They find courage to face trials, compassion to forgive, and peace that transcends their circumstances.

 

Prayer also carries a collective effect. When a community prays, the atmosphere changes. Unity is strengthened, hope is renewed, and shared faith becomes a force that sustains people in times of trial. The unseen power of prayer is not confined to the individual; it ripples outward, touching lives in ways we may never fully know. She joins the intercessors’ group every morning at 6:30 am. I’ve heard them stay for hours. The people in our nation need intercessors.

 

At its heart, prayer is about offering yourself wholeheartedly, and its true power lies in the transformation it brings. Even if every wish isn’t fulfilled exactly as we hope, each sincere prayer leaves an extraordinary impact, molding the person who prays, fostering a deeper connection to the sacred, and gently reminding us that we are never truly alone.

 

For her, prayer is not just words; it’s an effort of my whole being. When she prays, she has to push past distraction, past the busyness of the day, and turn her heart toward something higher. Sometimes that effort feels small, just a whispered thought as she breathes out, and other times it feels heavy, like pouring out everything she’s been carrying. Prayer asks us to be honest with ourselves. It doesn’t let me hide behind masks; instead, it invites us to bring our hopes, our struggles, and even our doubts into the open.

 

The effects of prayer in my life are both quiet and deep. There are times when I’ve seen answers come and doors opening, situations shifting in ways I couldn’t have arranged myself. But more often, the change happens inside me. Prayer softens me when I’m hard, calms me when I’m anxious, and reminds me that I don’t have to hold the weight of the world alone. Through prayer, I find a peace that doesn’t always make sense, and a strength that rises up even when I feel empty.

 

Prayer also changes the way I see others. It makes me more patient, more compassionate, and less quick to judge. When I pray for someone, my heart opens toward them, even if nothing else changes. I’ve noticed that prayer has this quiet way of drawing me out of myself and connecting me to something bigger. It’s an artery of love that runs deeper than I can fully imagine.

 

Ultimately, prayer is a heartfelt offering, and its true power lies in the transformation it brings. Each time I pray, even if I don't see immediate changes in my surroundings, I feel a difference within myself. It’s a comforting reminder that I am never truly alone. As I often say, praying feels like a part of her, and I really cherish it. I love her for who she is.
