The indictment of former president Trump this week has brought out the most absurd responses from NAR dominionists like Franklin Graham and Stephen Strang.

We have written quite often about the NAR dominionist growth within the apostate church during these end times. One of the main reasons is we believe firmly that this is the last idol of the church age. The devil masterfully uses the love of country and political party to distract from the love we should be reserving for God. As expected, the usual political operatives disguised as Christians have come out to decry the indictment of Donald Trump, their messiah. Keep in mind that we are not dealing with actual followers of Jesus Christ. They have been bought by and sold their souls to the Republican Party. Their first allegiance therefore is to the political machine they are beholden to and then try to shoehorn faith and religion into it. They are political whores, no more, no less. Today for your consideration are Franklin Graham and Stephen Strang.

Franklin Graham has long been a political operative disguised as a Christian leader. This is what made it mildly interesting for the past few months as Graham tried his best to pretend he never was much interested in politics. The problem is that he sold his soul a long time ago and when his dominionist masters say jump, Franklin Graham gets his jumping shoes on. Which explains how after declaring his independent political bonafides just a few months ago he can shamelessly shill like this tweet yesterday:

"It's a shameful day for America as former President @realDonaldTrump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury," Graham tweeted on Friday. "The Democrats have weaponized the legal system for their political gain while ignoring the current Administration's faults and deficiencies." - Franklin Graham Tweet

Shameful day for America? I thought you were apolitical Franklin? I thought your backing every Republican candidate for 30 years was coincidental. Like when you removed Mormonism from your list of cults because you backed Mitt Romney in 2012. Or when you paved Trump's way into the Evangelical vote after he donated six figures to each of your "charities" that pay you combined over a million dollars per year in salaries? Instead, you want to disparage the work of the Grand Jury, made up of ordinary citizens. What is worse is you call this weaponization, because it is the lame talking point you were given, but you haven't actually read the indictments because they have been kept sealed until just a few minutes ago. So, you have no clue what they are actually indicting him for and yet you can disparage people you never even met and predetermine their bias. Have you heard of projection Franklin? Just to make sure your whorish proclivities are made clear, you insert that the real problem is with the current president, who is of course, Democratic.

Except Joe Biden never cheated on his wife, let alone cheated on three of them. He also never cheated on his wife with a porn star while the wife was pregnant. Biden never then arranged for payment to buy the rights to the porn star's story, for the express purpose of killing the story. Biden never paid $130,000 to shut her up, directly benefitting his current campaign and falsified business records to accomplish all of this. These things are crimes Franklin and Joe Biden never did any of them. Donald Trump did. Right around the time he bragged about grabbing women by their genitalia because he is famous and could get away with it. You do remember that you are supposed to be a "Christian" leader, right Franklin? Now I know what your defense is because you are on record as saying that Trump's adulterous affair with the porn star was "nobody's business." That's odd though because the way back machine can take us back to 1998 when you seemed to have a different opinion about then President Bill Clinton and his affair with Monica Lewinski. You even went as far to write an op-ed in the NY Times decrying such a thought. You insisted that the president's private life was our business. From that article:

"But the God of the Bible says that what one does in private does matter. Mr. Clinton's months-long extramarital sexual behavior in the Oval Office now concerns him and the rest of the world, not just his immediate family. If he will lie to or mislead his wife and daughter, those with whom he is most intimate, what will prevent him from doing the same to the American public?" - Franklin Graham

You were right then Franklin. Of course, Clinton never paid $130,000 to try and bury the story. He committed perjury but didn't break any laws as Trump is now accused of. You stated that Clinton needed to start by admitting what he did. Funny, I do not recall any such plea from you regarding Mr. Trump. I almost feel bad for Franklin Graham because he got into bed with devil years ago and now he cannot get out. So, he is left to defend the indefensible. He is left pretending that the guy who cheats on every wife he has had, sleeps with porn stars and buys them off, grabs women by their genitals, and breaks whatever laws he feels like is the Christian choice that we must rally around. Wow. Graham however is nothing compared to Stephen Strang.

Strang is the CEO of Charisma News, the purveyor of all heretical false prophets and teachers. The craziness of Strang's tendencies to the sneaky squid spirits of the world only serve to disguise the real purpose he uses Charisma for and that is to continue to bring the Republican Party demands to the evangelical world smeared with a patina of faux piety. Since Trump was facing the indictment this week, we expected the hit job linked above from Strang. Its purpose is to draw evangelical support back to Trump ahead of the primary season by painting him as some victim of unreasonable treatment when the reality is the opposite. Do you honestly think for a second if we were charged with 34 felony counts that we would be allowed to fly in, not be cuffed, not be shackled, not be mug-shotted, and fly back out. So let us reason quickly through this latest Strang piece and please keep in mind that this is supposed to be a "Christian" leader.

There's no question that we're living in an upside-down world where good is called evil and evil is called good. The woke agenda continues to push against Christian and conservative voices who won't stand for the indoctrination of children, the removal of God from our society or for a socialist government. We're seeing history in the making in this upside-down world. Just take a look at the indictment of President Trump. No former president has ever had to go through this kind of mockery, and it is setting up a dangerous precedent that could affect future leaders." - Stephen Strang

The reference here to an upside-down world is one of the real reasons why Strang felt compelled to publish this article. He is writing a book, and this is part of the title. Strang is nothing if not an opportunist and a shill. The indictment of Donald Trump is about a scheme he created to pay off people who had damaging information on him before the 2016 election. It is about Stormy Daniels, not some imaginary woke agenda. It is about 34 counts of falsifying work documents not about the removal of God from our society. Trump has made a mockery of the judicial system for years, so please stop with the crocodile tears. He retweeted a picture photoshopped to make it look like he was about to hit the District Attorney in the head with a baseball bat! Even as he was being arraigned, his team was tweeting out photos of the daughter of the judge! The only precedent we are hoping to set is that no future president will think he or she is above the law. Remember that Strang has also never read the indictments. He has no idea what Trump is being charged with. His outrage is that he would be charged with anything.

"I believe Donald Trump was a man who was set in place by God to lead our nation, which I discuss in my book, "God and Donald Trump," and our country was better because of his presidency. Is it possible God has a plan for this nation? Is it possible He has a plan for His people? I've tried to make the case that President Trump won the evangelical vote by the largest margin in history. I haven't tried to analyze his spiritual condition"only God knows the heart. Yet I've been told that the way of salvation has been explained to him, and if he believes in his heart that Jesus Christ is risen and the only begotten Son of God, then he is a born-again Christian." - Stephen Strang

The depravity in the hearts of the wicked knows no depths. Donald Trump is not born again. A child can tell that. He is not a babe in Christ. He is not the second coming of King Cyrus. He does not have a Deborah mantle or an Elijah anointing. He did not win the 2020 election and in fact lost by over seven million votes. He orchestrated a coup against the United States Government because he lost so badly. All of the evidence is screaming at Strang that what he "believes" is wildly inaccurate! If you believe God placed Trump in office in 2016 then you must believe He placed Joe Biden there in 2020. God's plan for this nation is to judge it like every other nation - read your bible! You haven't tried to analyze his spiritual condition yet you offer him up as God's choice?

'The very best thing I can do now is pray for the safety and success of President Trump and hope that millions will join me. Despite the challenges that we face, I believe it is important to understand how God uses them for our good. There many types of challenges in life, but here are three especially important ones during this time: Some hardships are a result of this fallen, upside-down world. When the Antichrist comes and terrible things begin to happen, there's not much we can do except persevere and rely on the Holy Spirit to guide us. Much of the craziness we see in the world today is due to the fact we are nearing the end times. Some challenges are tests from God. The apostle Peter knew adversity could be a good thing. He wrote that we may have to "suffer various trials, in order that the genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tried by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."' - Stephen Strang

Wait. Doesn't it matter if he is actually innocent of the charges he is facing? How can you determine the best thing is to pray for his success? What if he is actually guilty? What if he is actually guilty in Georgia of trying to overturn the election there in 2020? What if he is found guilty regarding the hundreds of classified documents he kept and then obstructed the recovery of? What if he is guilty of inciting the January 6^th insurrection? In the mind of Stephen Strang, shill for Trump, these things are all mockeries and Christians must pray for the success of this man before any decisions are reached in what he is accused of. Let us never lose sight of the fact that these problems only exist because Donald Trump orchestrated them. They have nothing to do with the antichrist. Trump created the upside-down world, he is not a victim of it. Donald Trump is not the Apostle Peter! Only in Strang's world and depraved mind can someone pay $130,000 to keep a porn star from telling everyone that he had sex with her while his third wife was pregnant and then say with a straight face that it might be a test of his faith!

"Some trials, however, are a result of our own bad decisions or our fallen, sinful nature. Going through a horrible divorce may be a trial brought on by a choice to marry the wrong person. Being fired may be a terrible trial, but you may have brought it on yourself by not being a reliable employee. If you've let bad habits and addictions control your life, changing your behavior can sure feel like a trial. But these are all hardships of our own making." - Stephen Strang

Yes! But notice however that he does not correctly attribute this option to his idol, Trump. Instead between him, Graham and the NAR it is all the fault of these not so discernable things such as a woke mob or deep state. No one forced Donald Trump to violate his marriage vows to all three of the wives he has had. The reason why he was so concerned about negative stories coming up before the election is because of the negative things he had done.

"When you're living in the power of the Holy Spirit, you're not facing life on your own. You're not limited to what you can accomplish in your own strength. No matter what kind of trial you may be going through"whether it's a financial, relational or health crisis, or even something else"you can tap into His strength to keep pressing forward until you see victory. At the same time, many good things come to you when you serve God and live by His Spirit: joy, health, purpose, forgiveness, and miracles, just to name a few. But the Spirit-led life is filled not only with peaks but also valleys, and there are many powerful, Spirit-filled Christians who persevered despite having to endure terrible circumstances. I personally believe Donald Trump is being led by the Spirit and will survive this as he has nearly everything thrown his way by the woke crowd. Join me in praying for this. I've written about this in my new book "Spirit-Led Living in an Upside-Down World" which releases May 16. I go more in depth in the book." - Stephen Strang

In Stephen Strang's upside down world, Donald Trump is saved and led by the spirit. He is now comparing him to powerful spirit-filled Christians who have overcome and persevered. You have got to be kidding me. Again, the woke crowd did not throw this at him. He made these decisions. HE chose to pay $130,000 to a porn star HE slept with to avoid the negative press and violating the law 34 times to do so! Donald Trump is being led by the Holy Spirit of God Almighty? When? Was the spirit leading him to enter Teen Beauty Pageant dressing rooms so he could catch a girl changing? Or perhaps it was the spirit that led him to discuss groping women by their vaginas because he was a celebrity and could get away with it. Too long ago? The catch and kill story that led to these 34 indictments was only 2016. The insurrection was only 2021. The tweet with the baseball bat and the DA was last week. Look, you can like Donald Trump as a politician. You can side with him because you think he shares your political aspirations. Just leave Jesus out of it. He obviously has. Graham and Strang obviously have. Mark and avoid beloved. Mark and avoid.
