Please pray for the US. We will no longer be voting for our presidential preference. We will be voting to prevent tyranny.
Exacyly said 🙏.🇺🇸💙
You've got to do what you've got to do!🔵24
You have other work to do. The rot in the party really needs to be voted out. Either by finding hopefuls in your party, and supporting them in bids for high office against those not representing the ideals, or as a worst case, voting against the party itself to remove those consumed and corrupted by their assumed power. Trump is a beacon of exactly what America does not need. Those fawning over him are part of the problem. We really need them gone from power too.
As a life long American woman who loves my country I felt that America literally DIED yesterday but as a Christian I believe in Resurrection power. ❤❤❤
Speaking of woman. In the 90’s, I lost a child at 5 months, his name was David & I had too many miscarriages & no children. Heartbreaking!! Endo & lupus diagnosis. Never in my darkest nightmares would I have imagine the attack on women today. This abortion stance is a vile, cruel & ignorant attack on women’s minds, bodies & souls. Vengeance is Gods. Judge lest not ye be judged. He will decide if we are worthy of salvation, this is His job. Humans need to stay out of Gods business.
@unashamedCaliforniagirl I feel exactly the same way ❤
…we’ll see.
Feeling the same here
In Jesus' name amen 🙏
Pray Jesus wraps His loving arms around President Biden & gets us all through these troubling times for humanities sake. FDR did great things for our country & the world, from a wheelchair.
In Jesus' name amen ✝️
Amen, Also FDR was bed ridden and stilled made decisions..
Amen
@@DollyMiddleton-ke1yp I wouldn't hold my breath for God to do anything
Even Jesus didn't have immunity.... It was His acceptance of the judgement against man that saves. It's His willingness to hand Himself over to a human "court" for punishment that showed His service to US.
The fact that this decision was made just before we celebrate our INDEPENDENCE from a monarchy is insane.
And a rude awakening. But then rudeness is a form of bullying, and Donald Trump is proficient at that!
THIS. EXACTLY THIS. I think that every time someone compares him to Jesus or a saint or martyr, only to turn around and complain that he's not being treated like a king. As if we needed more proof that these are all CINO - Christians in Name Only
That was the point. Scotus did so when they did so as a slap in the face to the citizens of the US.
Amen!❤
Your words are further proof that 45 is not, and never has been, a Christian. If he were, he never would have committed the egregious acts that he was convicted of and those with which he has yet to be convicted. Living one's life with the goal of following Jesus's example is the mark of a true Christian.
The last line of defense is us the American people. We have to vote this November, and boy do we have to get it right. I believe in us! Trump was defeated before at the ballot, and he will be again!😊
Dont despair friends, and i hope you see a beautiful flower today🌻🌺🌸🌹💐🌷
I did see flowers on my way home from work, and I got to pet 2 dogs other than mine at home. One tiny dog at work and an lovely older doggo at the store stop. It was lovely. Have a blessed day. ❤
Yes, you are correct. We need to turn out in overwhelming numbers to assure that our democracy is saved. But what about the next election? And the one after that? What SCOTUS has done, is bring us to the precipice of fascism. Until that irresponsible and draconian ruling is amended or changed, we are going to be teetering on the brink of authoritarianism for the foreseeable future. Such a precarious position is not sustainable indefinitely. Eventually, we will make the wrong choice and then, it's all over.
That's lovely. I am drawing you a bright flower, even though you will have to see it in your mind. ☀️

This is scary stuff. The brake lines have been cut, and the bridge is out.
And below us is the Sarlacc.
Hi Ed. Anyone with a brain down here is in shock. Now it's time for Biden to use the powers he's just been granted. Radical action can be righteous, not just lawless.
They made him a king...
@@revedtrevors4961Exactly. A righteous king leads his people through the battle to victory. A dictator leads everyone down the road to destruction and holds them there. Let's pray that Biden has the strength and courage to use his new powers to save the nation.
@@revedtrevors4961 Whom - Biden or Trump? I know the Christians think Trump is king and savior and the resurrection combined but the left also thinks that Biden is their king to the Marxist paradise.
Yeh, Biden should double the size of the so called supreme court right of the bat, and make voting compulsory for those 18 and over.... And introduce preferential voting in the process. And redo the gerrimanders. There is so much the Democratic Party should have done to prevent this, but they've allowed it all to go ahead over the years, deferring to 'my friends across the aisle'. Gutless lot....
Well put. ✊
Welcome to the fascist states of America. God be with us.
The "transformation" is only in lip-service. the UdSSA was founded on power and continued through oppression of many. Presidents have always had immunity from accountability. The admission that the president is above the law - or rather that the law is beneath the president, but still above the people has always been there.
That this doesn't reflect how you or I behave, want to behave or wish to be treated has little relevance or correspondence to this; as usual. But one must, notwithstanding of this, as Ed says, always decide to do the right thing. Love.
Asking for immunity or a pardon is an admission of guilt.
That's why I (just speaking for myself here) both confess to and ask forgiveness from God when I know I done F'ed up and to my girlfriend rarely.
I personally have not an ounce of faith that if trump gets elected he will be about anything but punishing anyone he perceives as against him.
You are intelligent to believe that because this is what he said. Only a fool does not pay attention when someone reveals their intentions. When ever have the words "i will seek retribution and vengeance" or "I'm coming after you" come from a president of the US? Maybe from Hilter or another fascist dictator, but never a president. Contrast these words from Biden when he got elected: "I will be everyone's president. I will represent all of you, not just those who voted for me".
And his minions. He's used the term "witch hunt" often enough for us to know what would be coming.
Love you, Reverend Ed, and your Light. Thank you for always being the touchstone we need.
I am angry, disappointed and disgusted. I am old enough to remember when the civil rights bill was signed. Yesterday sent a chill down my spine. I prayed and I prayed again! I trust my faith in Jesus will guard those of us who believe in doing good and will guide the hearts of each of us who reach out and up. Yesterday was more than a bump in the road, it is a huge pot hole! Yet, like everything else, a repairing/healing process will take place. Thank you for this safe place to speak my heart. A
Such pendulums swing wildly (usually across decades and generations). We will be alright....even if all we can do is make the struggle easier for younger ones.
Faith comes from the possibility that 45 might not get elected. I'd rather listen to the truth stated in a feeble voice than a lie from a bold one.
“Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and redeem the soul of America.” - John Lewis
God is still in control! Don't lose your faith, and we will be victorious!
God's kingdom is not of this earth. The U.S. does not contain His chosen people.
@@Struthio_Camelus And the louder they tell us how righteous they are, the faster we need to back away.
This is a deeply scary time. I’m not a Christian anymore- like many Americans, I left the faith because of Trump’s Evangelical enablers. They twisted a beautiful message into a weapon of hatred and oppression. But I enjoy listening to Reverend Ed and find hope in this community. Thank you for looking out for your neighbors.
I am a Christian who doesn’t go to church. Jesus is my Savior. I DO believe in church and state. Religion is a person’s choice as is their body and sexual preference etc . Even Jesus when asked about giving allegiance to Rome said, give Caesar his due, and God His. He understood society and knew we must live in it and we can choose to worship God without worshipping Caesar. Trump and his evangelical radicals are using hate and separation in the name of their so-called ‘god’. Not what Jesus wants I would bet. What will they answer when he asked them one day, what did you do for my down trodden and oppressed.
Thank you for all that you do. Your voice, your words are calming
@@sandramelia3765 They will answer, "MAGA".
Praying for President Biden and this horrific decision by the Supreme Court. Wickedness in high places.
July 4th 1776-July 1, 2024. RIP
It feels that way, but let’s pick ourselves up and fight back. Organize, phone bank, volunteer. “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield”
As always, thank you for your grace and words of spirit.
All I'm hearing after this decision is hopelessness and fear. I don't know what to do. I just want my partner to be okay.
Vote!
Vote Democrat up AND down the ballot.
We must not let democracy die.
The only way to save it is to vote big "D"!
@@xionkuriyama5697 💔 Hope for an overwhelming flood of love from the righteous!
❤ Amen ❤ 🙏🙏🙌🙌
As it is said, absolute power, corrupts absolutely. If we don’t do something to change the direction of the USA, we are headed for hard times here in our country, the people the top will do fine but the averaged Joe will not. Thank you again and amen.
The billionaires have to much money and power so they can buy all the morals they want problem is there someone else moral values that sacrifice people they were appointed to help and keep this country alive and fair laws for every single citizen. But they sold out for money and were rewarded with huge gifts and money and the SC didn't even get a slap on the hand .
Thanks for this Discussion Rev Ed..This is very serious and scary We have crossed the line.. The founders of America are rolling in there grave..My God be with America and help them vote for what is right.. There's a old saying "How Did it Come to This"..we have to take this very serious.. God Bless 🕊️
Rev is a calming rational soul in all this mess. Prayer is always & forever a great option in troubling times.
Our town allows fireworks a week prior to the 4th. Every single time I've heard one since monday, my body tenses up, and I want to cry-scream.
There is NOTHING to celebrate this Thursday. Just sadness
Rev.Trevors, you always have a good argument that puts everything into perspective.
Even as someone Scottish, I felt sick and disgusted about what is happening in the USA.
A good theological argument I might add.
"You don't need a weatherman to tell you which way the wind blows."
Good to see you, Thomas. Love.
The United States is a broken country. I'd honestly like to leave.
God bless you ❤️ Reverend
Amen!! Trump cannot be the chosen one since he is NOT RIGHTEOUS. God is with us, his true believers. I prayed fervently to make it through the 2020 election then covid and now this. God tests us, but this is getting old! Thank you for giving hope to the hopeless.
Thank you Reverend Ed for your message. Please pray for me and my spiritual struggles here in WV.
I live in WV and I have zero faith! I hear the ugly lies every day at the grocery store at the bus stop at the drug store I can’t get away from the madness! I can’t take it any more
Just feeling devastated here in the Eastern Panhandle.
Thank you for your loving and uplifting words ❤. I live in a rural, republican area of North Carolina, and I am frightened for my neighbors to know my views. Thank you for reminding me to trust the Lord and do the right thing! I needed that shot of courage!
@@MelissaGraham-cf6mg I live in very red Tennessee and I can’t tell my believes to very few people or put signs in my yard for fear of what would happen
Same
Same in Alabama
Happy birthday, Padre
Once again I am going to say Amen my brother. I think a more pressing question is what does it say about the people of the United States that they believe that this man was sent by God to save the United states. God did not send Donald Trump to save the United States God sent his only son Jesus Christ to save the United States and every other country in the world.❤
I put this in God's hands when trump asked the SCOTUS to become involved.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND!!! 🎂🎈🎁❤️🥳🥰🎊
Thank you, Rev Ed, your messages mean so much to me.
We are in this world, but we are not part of this world and at the present state of the world for that I am eternally grateful
Your sentiments are beautifully inspiring, Ed. Thank you. Love.
I usually avoid politics, here, but... I think that it's a golden opportunity for the current president to bolster treaties with the indigenous nations, implement proper appropriations for reparations to all peoples injured and put at disadvantage by our system of government, raise SSecurity, ordain a living, minimum wage, implement action aiding our battle against climate-change, drop all compounded interest on ALL LOANS, raise taxes on the rich, enact programs whose goal it is to aid all residents and homeless, to insure child-education and support and so much more - this just through decree - from which consequences he is immune.
Thanks for your encouragement Rev....
Thank you for this reassuring message, I really needed this tonight. As a minority mother and grandmother of grandchildren and children I've been beside myself with worry ,not for myself but for them. I'm currently in a struggle with cancer and I don't know what's going to happen to them if I lose this battle. I've been poor most of my life,but I've always counted on the Lord to see me through the hard times and it's not because I don't trust him to get us through this,but I'm tired and I don't have a way to fix this if Trump wins. I'm scared to death for my children and grandchildren. Pray for all the people that are scared and worried about what's coming and pray to give them strength to endure whatever comes. Amen.
I am praying for you, may God heal you completely in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! I plead the blood of Jesus over you to cleanse the cancer from your body, Amen! ❤❤🙏🙏🙌🙌
EVERYTHING they sited for their reasoning, in their individual totality, contradict their determination. Meaning they cherry picked and lied.
They perverted the meaning of all that is sacred and holy to the American people. I at this time wish that I had the power to overturn this ruling. I have never been more disappointed in the leadership of my nation than I was last night.
Thanks, Rev. Ed for your consistent calm and measured voice in the midst of the turmoil of the last few days. My family and I are seriously considering our options as it is unfortunately becoming crystal clear that the forces of evil abound unchecked here (i.e., Project 2025), and are even being protected by the highest court in the land. This is not normal. This is not the country that I very much love, and for which many of my family served in the US armed forces. Feeling increasingly lost and discouraged, and I know that this too shall pass, but at what cost? Thanks again for your comforting words. Godspeed.
Good vs evil. Pick a side.
Well said.
Pastor Ed, please pray for our country because its people are frightened and despairing. Our freedoms are being ripped away. We need God’s help.
I’m trying to keep the faith. My trust in God has wavered quite a bit after my miscarriage. The problem with trump is that he thinks helping himself and his friends *is* the right thing to do.
I am so sorry you miscarried .
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you all. I had been told I was too far into menopause to get pregnant then found out I was - a miracle - only to lose the pregnancy a couple of months later. I have a hard time having faith in a God that would do that to me.
@flor9389 God knows what the future holds, and we don't. I believe that God does want is good and right for us .Through the hurt ,we still need God. Hang on to Jesus and watch for his return. My prayers are with you.
@@flor9389I send you my sympathy and a great big hug. I felt that way after my miscarriage 20 years ago. The hole created by the loss will never be filled. Some are able to have a 'Rainbow Baby' I was not because of my age. I will say take as long as you need to grieve though all the stages. I didn't go to a baby shower for 2 years. I have learned now that my baby's spirit changed their mind and weren't ready to leave heaven yet. I had to realize that God does not want bad things to happen to me. I had to accept to make the choice that I would eventually understand the lesson I needed to learn from this experience in my life. Ask for guidance from your Guardian Angel and love yourself.
Happy Birthday, Reverend Ed! 🎂Many Happy Returns of the Day!🪅
Thank you for calming words.
We the People….Vote! 💙
It is criminals who need immunity. The righteous are just and depend on the just judgment of God for their protection.
Thank you for your words today. It was what I needed, a reminder of the promise from God who is with us. ❤
This is very simple - it's elemental. SCOTUS just stated that a President cannot be prosecuted for a crime that would be deemed 'official' in office. And then, any potential offense to the people will have to be determined by 'the court system' to prove and disprove whether the action was 'official' or 'unofficial'. Now, if you support Trump and you cheer this on....just imagine when someone who DOESN'T support your world/political view gets into the White House and uses this kind of power. Vote Blue to deter tyranny. Period.
We live in interesting times. Not in a good way. I have faith that enough Americans will do the right thing in November. Then, we need to have a national reckoning. We need to start the process to amend the Constitution to fix this.
I fear we don't have the attention span for that.
We failed to protect reproductive freedom rights for fifty years - then snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
I hear ya. Buuuttt... reproductive freedom has been protected everywhere that it's been put to a vote. That was done by ordinary people, not career politicians. We need to make our demands known.@@Struthio_Camelus
This isn't the same world.
The good news is we're more connected, now. Common sense will win out, eventually; as soon as we master ourselves, of course.
@Struthio_Camelus
We also need to remove the Supreme Court and abolish it or like some have said, we need to set term limits, like maybe five years for SCOTUS. I do not want to lose my country.
@@missouriprideusa6241
Bill passsed on Sept 20, 2013
I think its pretty telling that half of Republicans saving America is about refusing to love and support our fellow americans
While your message did not make me less worried about this election, it did remind me how well I know that God protects His children. Thank you.
The founding fathers designed a system of checks and balances to guard against tyranny. That has effectively been dismantled.
We are living in a dystopian novel, but I still hold firm to Roman’s 8:28 and God’s faithfulness. It just saddens me to see so many Christians turning a blind eye to basic ethics and morality.
@GarnetJ - How else could they endorse someone who might appear to be a narcissist, a social path and a proven liar, not including all of the other things he might appear to be. I will save MY judgment out of the necessity to keep my sanity. I will turn all of this insanity over to God. I have no choice, as I refuse to let thoughts of retribution fill MY mind and suck all the positive energy out of me. If I choose NOT to do this, then I'm no better than they are!
i thought they had a President in the USA not a King
They did back when we had SANE Supreme court Justices. This is why I don't believe in a Super majority of either party.
This is what I was taught in school. I guess they will have to change the civics books and instruction now.
Thank you for your messages, always so calming and helpful.
"We dare not leave him to his own devices
His half-witted fans will get out of control
But how can we stop him?
His glamour increases
By leaps every moment; he's top of the poll.
I see bad things arising
The crowd crown him king which the Romans would ban
I see blood and destruction
Our elimination because of one man."
Not just looser45 but the billionaires back him for power and money and tax cuts
All hail king Biden.
Dark Brandon needs to sort some stuff out while he has the chance.
Thank you for this message. I think a lot of us are feeling we are under attack...and frankly, its getting tiring
Morning, Rev Trevs and all. Talk on point; thanks as always.
We need to protest!
Thanks so much for your thoughts. I listen to your words each day and I feel less alone in all the changes happening here in the states. God bless you.
Some times there is justice. And then there is just us. It's now our time to "Do Something" right. Forgot who mentioned Matthew West's song but thank you for enlightening me.
Thanks Ed
Everything comes from and through the Hand of God. How to do the good, we first must see and know the worst in ourselves and with the Holy Spirit choose to do the good. Each day is a daily cross, death to self and life in the Spirit of Christ.
Amen!
I’m sickened.
Bless you, once again Dear Reverend Ed with your wise words. You are a beacon....
Its actually a big step backwards from when they were under the British since by that time British had already decided the monarch was under the law just like everyone else.
We are so fortunate to be in Canada under the monarchy of Britain which is now really only a figurehead for great tourism. There is a noticeable difference between Canada and the now Divided States. Education and Class.
I am literally heartsick about the corrupt and lawless decision made by the highest court of our country. Those 6 justices have caused irreparable damage to the country and in their arrogance and belief in their own untouchability, they simply do not care. I believe with my whole heart, mind and soul that our Father in Heaven is in charge with wisdom and love but it is hard to witness evil knowing how much suffering it will cause. 🥺😧😢
Thinking about this thought of Frodo in the LOTR , We have to be like Frodo And destroy the Ring of Power at the Ballot box Voting Blue 💙..It's Been 80years since Normandy D-Day what did those brave people fight for.. Nazism could have been stopped in the beginning it grew look at the cost and what it took to stop them..How many Civilians suffered during WW2 what have we learned.. George Lucas is a Genius look at the Star wars movies what do they mean.. One of the Star Wars movie were the Sith took over in the Senate A Quote " So this is how Democracy Dies with Thunderous Applause"..... God Bless 🕊️
Please do more on this to help us navigate with the correct/right mindset/heart posture. I'm not gonna lie-Im scared. I'm angry at the corruption and length people are going to enforce and even just enjoy it-knowing its corrupt/untruthful. I'm disheartened...
Thank you. I needed your calm voice this day.
Father Ed, I'm terrified.
Amen, and thank you.
Thank you for your kind guidance. Im so sad that sanity has left our government.
New subscriber 🙏🏾👍🏾😪thank you AMEN
God help us. If ever there was a time to pray, it's now😊
I am not being sarcastic, but how can it be true that God favors the righteous. Historically speaking, when has that happened? And how can it happen now? The poor are persecuted, starving, homeless, and hopeless. The rich get richer and do what they like. Where is God? Am I being punished because I'm a horrible person? Are poor people worth nothing? Are those who die in war non essential? I'm having a hard time accepting this will be ok. What right thing can I do? Sorry, it's just the icing on my cake.
I have the same problem with this idea also!
God is right by your side, and it is times like this that we need to trust all the more in Him and believe in Him. He wants all of us to turn to Him with all our hearts, all our minds and all our strength.
Remember when troubles fell on people in the past there was a reason for it. There are too many fake Christians in this world. They use religion, the church and the Bible to justify their wickedness, for which they will receive their rewards. Our goal in life is to follow the path of righteousness that Jesus laid out for us. Every day we are to learn the word, live the word, and share the word. Don't lose faith, trust in the Lord with all your heart, work hard everyday to become more like Jesus, and do not be deceived by any man.
God bless you all and heal your spirits and your hearts. With love for you all!
Happy birthday. Thank you for your time and prayers. I have complete faith that convict45 will NOT win. I am calm in these times. Bless you. ❤
Amen
Amen 👍👍👍👍👍
I have heard some trumpers saying "...Jesus does not seem to do ANYTHING..." so they turned to trump.
Give that question to the justices!
Well I can't be positive right now
I'm not a praying man.
But if I was, and that decision gets me very close to it, I would be praying for my American brothers and sisters.
I pray that your country still has the strength required to push aside the ugliness that has been in your midst for so long and seems only to grow stronger each day, so that you can cross into the sun lit meadow beyond.
I pray for you, and then I pray for all the rest of us around the world who are affected by decisions made in your country that we have no say in, but still effects us.
God speed USA, from Aotearoa (New Zealand).
This is NOT MY HOME.
😔
It’s praying time.
Thank you for your encouragement and hopeful message. It's much needed right now. Scary times when the Supreme Court justifies potential crimes for the person in power. I just hope more and more people are starting to realize what this could mean, there's still a chance to prevent the worst when it's time to vote for Americans.
His guilt will be with him always even if he tries to ignore it, runs away mentally, and carries on believing his own lies. Sad for everyone US or not.
This is a really big ask. I am really struggling.
I may be out of line Rev. but appears to me it is giving Trump the most support
That is INSANE
@@UnashamedCaliforniagirl I cut off my response. What I am saying it is Christians giving Trump the most support
Every Christian knows it is right on
I have been and continue to be disdainful of Christianity but even I could be persuaded to be a part of a collection of people who believe in kindness and honesty only because it makes the world better not to gain favor with a diety which has caused so much bad. Accept the fact that death is still a mystery
Who can make war with the beast?Rev13:4. He will prevail. Watch Antichrist 45. Thanks Wanda
Jesus
We know that all these terrible things must happen in order for Jesus to return.
America started circling the drain when Trump came down the escalator
Read a comment else where re:SCOTUS "ruling" & it prompted me to reflect/meditate on Psalm 85 (my introduction to Psalms) vrs:10-11 (favorite verses) & I remembered how inner ears felt a tickling sensation. And knowing that righteousness/justice shall prevail. 🕊️
Put Jesus at the centre It may look bleak, but As Brother Trevor said God is with the righteous.
Be careful America!
Don't choose the "thorn bush" to be your king!
Some people think they are righteous - but they are mistaken
