Two days ago, I shared a word about surprises coming in both the political and financial realms. ( https://garriselkins.com/surprises-are-coming-2/ ). As the assassination attempt took place against President Trump, I knew that event was the beginning of those surprises.
Surprises will begin to unfold without any announcement like in Pennsylvania yesterday. That is why they are called surprises. As I said two days ago as preparation for what is coming, we need to make sure we are standing only in the person of Jesus Christ, not in the emotion of the events that will unfold. That will be the only safe harbor in the coming storm of surprises.
As the intensity of the storm of surprises increases, wait on the Lord to hear His word, and speak His truth. There will be many lures from the enemy that will pass by us wanting to draw us into conversations that will go nowhere. We will be invited to act and prematurely speak about what is happening and is not yet fully revealed. We will regret those choices if we take the bait without discernment and run ahead of the Lord speaking half-truths but not the full truth.
This is the greater reality we need to understand – God is at work no matter what we see happening. His work will result in the redemption of people and the advancement of His Kingdom. God’s redemption and His Kingdom’s advancement have happened most profoundly in history in an atmosphere of increasing insecurity and uncertainty regarding the future.
I did not know about the shooting until this morning when I arrived at church and a man, that I have never spoken to before, began to tell me about it. He shared with me, that the way the shooting failed, means that God wants President Trump in office. I said to him that, to me, it shows that God wants President Trump to live, but we will need to see how He unfolds His purpose for sparing President Trump’s life. I have been asking the Lord for years to not let me make a movie out of a snapshot He shows to me. I believe this is what we need to do now. See and discern what the Lord is showing us, but be cautious in assuming the next steps. Only the Lord can reveal His plan. Our part is to draw close to Him so we can see and hear from His perspective. So appreciate the things you share, Garris.
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness. Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed. In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win. I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.
