MY FRIENDS, IS MR. TRUMP CAPABLE OF REAL CHANGE?
Change, is what we are incapable of because it would involved a “Spiritual transformation, and a restructuring of our lives around revival, renovation and restoration. Which is Humanly impossible “but with God all things are possible.” Matt 19:26 (KJV) So as we travel on our Journey to the promise land, we must admit not to ourselves but to God that a change must take place in our lives and we are unqualified to make it happen. So even if Mr Trump would ever say I will Change, if you listen closely, IT IS PROBABLY SELF IMPLYING THE CHANGE?
For all of us spiritual elects. 2 Cor. 5:17 (paraphrased) Paul tells us “if anyone is in Christ, that is, grafted and joined to Him by faith in Him as Lord and Savior, we then become a new creature who is reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit and the previous unethical and immoral condition in our life have passed away. And new things have come about because a spiritual awakening brings changes and a new life.”
In Paul’s letter to the Ephesians which should be every Americans heartfelt prayer as we listen to the rhetoric of Trump “that the God of our Lord 
Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you [and I] the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of our understanding being enlightened; that [we] may know what is the hope of His calling…..” Eph. 1:16-18 (KJV)
My friends, that text is telling each of us to pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation and discernment in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior. And no mater what party you are affiliated with if you feel Trump is a leader, one who fosters change and a shared vision and the development of a community whether you are black or white, Christian or Muslims, Catholics or Jews, then we ourselves have a lot of soul searching as to our ability to understand real change.
The beauty and Character of Christ, are “love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” that is what the world must see in us as leaders. And then you have Change which is defined as “something different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone.” so self and change must co-exist as one in the context of our salvation. And in-order for that to happen as leaders, self cannot be responsible for telling us what it takes for self to die and for our life to only exist through Christ. Only the Spirit of God can.
So the only thing that should be changeless, is our Passion of Christ in our lives. And with a contrite heart it can never be our will but the will of God 
as we move out on the front lines of the battle field seeking souls that “are sinking deep in sin, Far from the peaceful shore, Very deeply stained within, Sinking to rise no more.” But as ambassadors for the Master we “hear their despairing cry, and From the murky waters of sin” we lift them up and give them hope and change through Christ and a shared vision of a “new heaven and a new earth.”
My friends, change brought about by the Spirit gives us direct access to the presence of God and “though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen [will change], but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Cor. 4:16-18 (KJV)
