How Great Thou Art


There is so much that could be said today. Like many of you, Ceci and I stayed up until 3:00 AM ET Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, waiting for the official “call” regarding the Presidential election, and trying to get a sense of the final outcome of the House and Senate. I finally recorded yesterday’s post at 11:30 PM. (Kudos to my dedicated staff!)


It is now certain, as I write this, that not only did Trump win the 2024 Presidential election in a landslide, including the popular vote, but Republicans also took the Senate and will likely keep the House. By the time this post airs, the House win may also be certain. Trump’s comeback win is undoubtedly one of the most significant accomplishments in America’s political history. Even his enemies -- with clenched teeth and teary eyes – have admitted this, after attributing it to racism and sexism, that is. So much for humility, an honest look at the two candidates, and understanding most Americans. 


Americans had grown complacent, yes, but the past four years served to awaken many of them. Most Americans just want to live as they choose, allow others to do the same, make a decent living, and be safe. They DO NOT want a government telling them how to think, what to do, what they must believe about sex and gender, what they can and can’t say, and how to raise their kids. They don’t want a government that mocks their belief in God, wants to take their guns, demeans them as deplorable garbage, and forgets who they work for!


And the complacent church? Well, she too, is waking up. As I read and watched dozens of memes and videos, I was moved most by seeing several dozen people, when leaving Trump’s victory party, standing in the foyer singing the old hymn How Great Thou Art. Impromptu and heartfelt, and they all knew the words to this classic song. In other words, they all had Christian roots. Believers and God-honoring Americans have entered the fray!


God’s Over-riding Hand

As I stated yesterday, God had a plan in making Trump wait four years to serve his second term. Rogan O’Handley pointed out on his Instagram account  [DC_Draino]:


“Think about this:


“If Trump won in 2020, he would’ve had a Democrat House and Senate. More impeachments, no Senate confirmations, no bills passed, and possibly the end of the MAGA movement as an effective political force.


“But now? He has the House, Senate, Supreme Court, a popular vote mandate, and an entire country that wants to clean up our elections, close our borders, deport illegals, and hold corrupt politicians accountable. Sometimes, I think it had to happen this way.


“As painful as it was, this was the better long-term solution. We are going to pass a blizzard of new laws to help save this country that would’ve had zero shot with a Democrat Congress. Get ready y’all - it’s going to be Biblical.”(1)


He is so right! It had to happen this way. We don’t always know God’s plans – He reserves the right not to tell us in advance – but we trust Him. After going with a prayer team to each swing state in December 2020 and January 2021 to pray against the fraud we believed occurred, asking God to reverse it, we were disappointed that it didn’t happen then. Several prophetic voices told me afterward, however, that every prayer would be answered, just not when we assumed. God knows what He’s doing, and His wisdom has been vindicated once again. Trump won every one of those swing states, and will now accomplish MUCH more in this term than he could have had he been in office.


We must now direct our prayers toward birthing the changes needed in our nation. Doing so for revival and spiritual awakening is a given – we will do this. But we must also pray for the reformation, much of which will occur in government. Trump has said, “God spared my life for a reason.” He knows this is true, and we must pray that he and those working with him keep it in the forefront of their minds. 


We must also pray for Speaker Johnson – a godly man and wise leader, Trump and his team, and whoever becomes the new Senate Majority Leader. They will all have an incredible opportunity to accomplish so much for our nation. If we bolster their efforts with prayer and Holy Spirit pours out true revival, the next four years could be some of the most significant in America’s history. 


Pray with me:


Father, we are grateful beyond words for this opportunity; we know how critical this election was. And yet, we have not shifted our faith to an individual or a group of individuals. We are keenly aware that only You can save our nation and restore our destiny. So we ask for Your grace to abound to President-Elect Trump, Speaker Johnson, and other key individuals in our government. Let this grace manifest through great wisdom, brilliant strategies, and supernatural help. 


Lead them to make decisions that honor You and allow You to bless our nation. Use them to enact policies that break curses off of America and restore us to true greatness. Restore to us the privilege and ability to powerfully trumpet the gospel of Your kingdom throughout all the earth. May You be glorified through us. 


Keep Trump, his family, and those around him safe. Please protect other government leaders in our nation. Expose the terrorists that are here and any weapons they have acquired. We pray that the promises of Psalm 91 be fulfilled in our land. And we pray for all this in Jesus’ name. Amen. 


Our decree:


We declare our gratitude to the Lord for His great grace and mercy.

Dutch, we thank you for the sacrifice of time you and Cece have made during these years. You have kept me and multitudes of others steady and grounded as we went together through the shock and awe of 2020 and the years that followed. To say God threw us a lifeline through you and this ministry is an understatement, and we give you our heartfelt thanks.

Dutch I got your Appeal to Heaven book after Obama won in 2008. I was so stirred and as a history lover I studied the awakening revivals and many others had not much interest? I had gotten laid off from my job and I asked the Lord ok what do I do? His reply came the next Sunday in church when my pastor said he was going to start a prayer meeting every weekday morning! The Lord said that’s your job! So I obeyed and we prayed for America and Awakening Revival! Now we are seeing it happening PTL! Thank you for Give Him 15!!! It has stirred this nation of Christians and the nations to pray and work! We…

I have felt cautiously relieved since Trump won. Please keep in mind that it's too quiet. They haven't given up the fight. They have something up their sleeve.
