of the God -Centered Podcast. This is Andy Cain, and it is November 7th, 2024.

00:23

And I am out on the road today, going from carpool to work, talking all things God -Centered.

00:28

And today I wanna talk about God -Centered worldview from the understanding of the election results.

00:34

That's right, we just had an election here in the United States of America, and I'm bloody happy.

00:40

I am happy. I know there's many of those, like, I can't live with Trump, he's this, he's that, bleep, bleep, bleep, like, come on.

00:49

I don't know why we just can't be happy about the fact that we defeated leftism, defeated wokeism, is it gone forever?

00:56

No. Will it rear its ugly head? Yes, but we need to keep on defeating it.

01:02

I want to believe that this is a sound defeat of it, and its folly is obvious to everyone, and it's gonna go the way of the birds and be gone forever.

01:11

We know evil doesn't work that way. There will be enemies of Christ that will always come up and need to be defeated.

01:18

Christ will reign, and so always enemies are defeated. And if wokeism and leftism has been taken to the woodshed this time, and they have decided to let it go because they realize it's not a winning proposition, we need to rejoice over that.

01:36

I mean, Trump won, Trump trained, and we got the Senate.

01:41

Last I checked, it looked like the House was looking pretty good. This is the opportunity to really showcase what the kingdom is supposed to look like.

01:52

I think God rest his soul. I know he's with the Lord. Rush Limbaugh, he would be so happy, so proud of his country today.

02:03

He always would say, if conservatism, and once he was saved, and later in his life, you talk about Christian conservatism, is ever tried in this country and shown what it can do, it would rule the country for a minimum of 25 years.

02:21

You'd have a minimum of a generation, and it would flourish. We only find failure and defeat when leftism rules the day.

02:33

Look at all the cities that are run by leftists, and it's in shambles. Look at the census and how many people moved to Florida, the increase in voting there, and the decrease in leftists over Republicans in the major cities.

02:52

The margin of defeat was far less this time, so you're seeing that people are starting to recognize that the transgender issue and all these different things that leftists have been pushing, they're just sick of it.

03:08

They're tired of it. They're ready for it to be over with. Okay, you had your fun, you had your little games, and see, the thing is, the left really thought that if they continue to do this whole, well, you're just not moral if you didn't know that name.

03:22

Finally, we're just like, what? This is ridiculous, and so we need to be happy.

03:28

There's all those say they wouldn't vote for Trump because he's not for the abolition of abortion. Yeah, I'm with you.

03:34

I'm with you. I want it abolished. It's evil, it's murder of babies. We're not voting for a perfectly moral person here.

03:45

We haven't reached the point in the kingdom where the word of God and the spirit of God is fully enveloping the world to where the vast majority of the world is bowing the knee to Christ and has been discipled.

03:57

We're still working gradually toward that, and some people say, well, you know,

04:04

God will regenerate a whole lot of people one day, and that'll change it quickly. I don't tend to think that's how it's gonna go.

04:11

I think it's gonna be more of, as he does regenerate more and more people, they will begat people and have children that will be brought up to love the

04:21

Lord and will be saved, and that will just naturally and gradually flip the world population to where, and obviously, in post -millennialism, we don't believe it'll be 100 % of the human population because Jesus still will return to the earth and have to judge sin at that time, and I do take the position that when

04:44

Satan, as he is bound from deceiving the nations now, when he is released, as you see in the later chapters of Revelation, I do think there will be some level of him having one last hurrah and trying to get what is left of the unsaved at the time to try to have one last stand.

05:02

And yeah, it's certainly possible. I think we need to be careful not to be too overly dogmatic in the book of Revelation on what we say that it says because it's so apocalyptic literature, so we need to leave some grace for some differing viewpoints.

05:19

But I do believe that over time, and thus far, it's been very slow and gradual, but there are more

05:25

Christians living today than there was in the early church. There's more Christianized way of worldviews being employed, and my biggest thing with this election is

05:36

I wanna start to see the consistent application of the Christian worldview in all levels of government.

05:42

And we need to be doing our work on the local level, and I really like J .D.,

05:47

I like Vance, I like Trump, and Trump isn't perfect. I'm not crazy about everything he says and does.

05:53

He's not exactly the best moral example. He's a good man, but he has a lot of issues, and he has had a lot of issues in his life.

06:04

But this wasn't necessarily about being for Trump, per se, although I like the guy,

06:10

I like a lot of what he does, and I'd say somewhere around 75, 80 % of what he wants to do is right in line with what

06:16

I want. I wish he would be more strong on abortion and some other things, but I'll take it.

06:23

This is more about defeating Kamala, defeating leftism, defeating wokeism, defeating that side.

06:31

It was more about that, because these people say, well, you can't vote for me, bim, bim, bim, bim, bim.

06:37

I'm like, oh, really? So you'd rather let Kamala rule over us and let the

06:43

Democrats have the Senate and the House and just continue our deep plunge into just utter despair? You know, oh,

06:49

I guess post -millennialism ain't that. Look, you have ups and downs in society. Evil rises, evil falls, good rises, good is defeated at times, but it gradually grows over time.

07:02

So that doesn't mean there'll be an absence of periods of time where evil rises. And, you know, if they had won, that would just be an indication that we're probably still under judgment.

07:13

And the thing is, we probably still are under judgment right now by God. It doesn't mean that everything's perfect and all of a sudden wokeism, leftism's gone.

07:22

But I agree with many on Twitter and places I've seen that I think this is just an act of mercy by God.

07:28

And I think it's probably an act of mercy on his people primarily. He's giving an act of mercy and grace on us as people that have been living under this tyranny of leftism.

07:38

And I don't think we're necessarily means that we're not under judgment anymore. I think you'll still see more battles to be fought and more tyranny to be dealt with and more leftism to be dealt with.

07:49

But I think it's pretty clear God gave an act of mercy on his people so that we can take a break and take a breath and breathe a little bit.

07:57

But we need to take advantage of this mercy that's been given to us and get to work. Start fighting back against leftism and wokeism and fighting for Christian worldviews, fighting for righteousness, fighting for what is right and what should be.

08:14

So let's get to work, my friends. Let's spread the gospel. Let's call all men everywhere to repent, call our governments to repent, call our governments to bow to Christ.

08:23

There are no neutral worldviews. We are to obey the law of God, obey

08:29

God's commands, disciple the nation. So I'm happy. I hope you are. It's a good day.

08:34

We are officially unburdened by what has been, my friends.
