We want to hear from you! Send us a text!
President Trump defends Christianity, gender, and the truth of Holy Week-and the world is watching. In this powerful episode, I break down his Easter Message and why it's time for believers to rise up and stand firm in truth.
did you happen to see President Trump yesterday at the White House defending Christianity? Did you happen to see Pastor Paula White? Did you happen to see also? I mean man, it was just outstanding. There's so many different people that were there. Pastor Jensen Franklin was there, pastor Paula White was there, president Trump was there, and they're defending Christianity, defending the word of God, preaching the gospel, defending gender, defending in God and in God we trust.
Speaker 1:If you missed any of that, ladies and gentlemen, you've tuned into the right episode. I'm going into all of that, giving you clips of what I thought was most pertinent and important of what happened during Trump's defense of Easter resurrection Sunday, also dealing with gender and in God we trust, along with some intros from pastor Jensen Franklin as well. It was outstanding. Stay tuned. You're not going to want to miss this episode of dimensions coming to you right now. Ladies and gentlemen, it's been an outstanding Holy Week and I'm so excited that you've tuned in to Fair Dimensions. I had to go live again.
Speaker 1:I found out that President Trump was doing an Easter prayer service and I think that is just completely awesome, and I know some of y'all are going to want to give some flack because some of y'all don't like President Trump. I get it. I mean, there's something with every president that I don't like as well, but since they're going to be our leader for the next four years, I figure it's apropos that we take some time and talk about what he is doing correctly. What are some things that I'm excited about to see happening, and I'm going to give you some different clips of what happened during that prayer service. That was just completely outstanding.
Speaker 1:Them celebrating Holy Week and getting into talking about the gospel. I mean, it was just completely outstanding. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to jump right into it. We're going to start here with a clip. I want you to see this and then I'm going to come back and give you some commentary. I might jump in and out of it. We'll see what happens, but let's show the clip here of what happened there.
Speaker 2:Nearly 2,000 years ago, during the sacred week, the living Son of God entered Jerusalem in triumph. Soon after, the Savior of mankind, who brought truth and light into the world, was betrayed, arrested and tried, beaten and nailed to a cross and crucified For our sake. He gave up his life and, as the very great Reverend Billy Graham once said, god proved his love on the cross. When Christ hung and bled and died, it was God saying to the world I love you. Those are beautiful words from a great man, franklin right, a great man, franklin's incredible father. I went to Yankee Stadium with my father many years ago to watch your father. You think we have big crowds today? It was some crowd, never forget it. So thank you very much and thank you for being here, franklin, very much. Three days your father would be very proud of you, by the way. Incredible Three days later, christ's followers found the empty tomb.
Speaker 2:Jesus had defeated darkness and death and promised new life to all of humankind. And that's what we celebrate each year at Easter, as we joyfully proclaim on Sunday he is risen. The death and resurrection of Jesus are the essence of the Christian faith, whether rich or poor, healthy or sick, young or old, or in times of peace or war. Christians everywhere find solace and hope in the knowledge that Christ died for them and that they could be united with him in heaven. And that's what we want. That's what we all want. The miracles of Holy Week sit in motion a transformation in human existence. Countless millions of Americans have been moved by Christ's example to heal the sick, defend their families, lift up their communities and make our country stronger, better and greater than ever before.
Speaker 1:Wow, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if you got a chance to check that out, but I mean that is just completely outstanding. I mean you've got the president there preaching the gospel, which I think is just completely outstanding. I mean you've got to see that. I mean for what it really is and what God is doing with our president, and that's why I want to take some moments here to talk about what he's doing. I mean you have a president in the White House that's talking about the gospel, talking about we want everybody to get to heaven, jesus Christ is the way, truth and the life, and that we're here to celebrate this holy week and he's defending the gospel of Jesus Christ. I mean that's just completely outstanding. I mean, no matter if you don't like everything about President Trump, that's completely fine, I get that, but there are certain things that we need to celebrate that is happening. You understand that the gospel is going out from the White House. If you want to get a chance to check out more and watch the whole thing, I'm going to be showing clips throughout this episode here so you can hear and be able to see what happened in the White House. I mean you had Franklin Graham. That was there. Pastor Paula White.
Speaker 1:I'm going to show you some clips in a minute from Pastor Jensen Franklin. What he shared concerning our president. I mean, you have to remember, the gospel is going out from the presidential office. He could be doing anything, but he chose to spend some time celebrating our Lord and Savior, jesus Christ, and celebrating Holy Week, talking about the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1:He's not talking about Muhammad, he's not talking about Krishna, he's not talking about Vishnu, he's not talking about any other religion. He's not talking about any other religion. He's talking about Jesus Christ and the gospel is going out and he's welcoming the gospel. He said, well, he's not a believer and he's not a Christian. He's this, that and the third. Listen, maybe he is, maybe he isn't, but my point is he's allowing the gospel to go out. He's giving place for preachers and churches to preach the gospel, if for no other reason, just the fact that he's celebrating Holy Week in the gospel. Now listen, I've got another clip here, because he's about to defend Christianity and the persecuted church in America and around the world. He recognizes that there has been some attack on Christianity around the world and in the United States and he's saying he's going to stand up for that. No-transcript.
Speaker 2:We're standing up for a persecuted Christian and so many Christians that have been persecuted all over the world so horrible what's happened and defending religious liberty. We had nobody fighting for our Christians in other parts of the world that were being so incredibly destroyed, killed, injured, hurt, but they died so many died. You wouldn't think that could happen in this time, in this sort of modern time. I proudly created the White House Faith Office and a brand new DOJ task force to eradicate anti-Christian bias and there is anti-Christian you don't hear about that very much but there is anti-Christian bias. We're stopping the radical indoctrination in our schools and supporting school choice and we're going to be moving our education department.
Speaker 1:So look at that there, ladies and gentlemen. So he's talking about the persecuted church around the world. He's talking about the church being hit in America. He's letting people know. He said you're not going to hear about it on the news, but there is movements to try to destroy Christianity in America and outside of America. He's talking about indoctrinating our children, but allowing the gospel to go out and not allowing that to happen. I mean, ladies and gentlemen, there's a lot of things that we may not like, but you have to give credit to where credit is due. You have to be willing to be fair. Yeah, I don't like the whole tariff piece and I don't like certain things that he may say or do that I don't believe is politically correct or very diplomatic. I get all of that. I totally understand that. But for those that are believers and that are Christians, we have to recognize we have somebody in office right now that is welcoming the gospel wholeheartedly, saying hey, whether he's living it or not, you have to remember something he's opened the door to the white house earlier.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to show this, but earlier in the clip. If you watch it, you can go to whitehousegov and you can find out more about the clips. It's on YouTube as well. You can kind of look at that there. You'll see it when it comes up. Just look up President Trump Easter prayer service and it'll come up there on YouTube. You can watch the whole thing. But I've take some some just some sound bites from it that I think will really be a blessing to you to help speak concerning those things. And he's defending Christianity and the persecuted church. He's defending that, I mean around the world, saying we got to make sure that Christians around the world are protected, we got to make sure that Christians here in America are protected. I mean it is just completely outstanding to see that and this is why the church has to rise up in this season, in this moment, and strike while the iron is hot. I have been alive, for this will be my 48th year. I've never seen any president as open to the gospel as president Trump is open to preaching the gospel from the white house. He could be doing anything. He chose to have a service and bring in pastors. Pastor Paula White mentioned earlier that I didn't show this part of the clip, but she said over 1,000 preachers have come through the White House since he's been in office. He has welcomed over 1,000 preachers into the White House.
Speaker 1:Now people may say, well, he's not a believer. Listen, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. This is the reality. There are things that are good and bad about his administration, but for the believer, can we focus on the fact that he's allowing the gospel, going to defend the gospel, going to defend Christianity? And on top of that I've got another clip for you. He's not just going to defend that. He's going to defend gender and the In God we Trust logo and slogan. He's going to defend that, that the church is going to be able to stand strong and that God is going to be the covering over our nation. So gender and in God we trust he mentions that. Take a look.
Speaker 2:And I also, and this was a very easy one for me. I guess some people still fight it, because I saw on television today a Democrat congressman fighting so hard. I banned men from women's sports Seems easy and I signed an executive order making it official and the official policy of the United States that God created two genders, male and female. That's not too good. So there's so much to celebrate this Easter. This is really, I hope, going to be one of the great Easters ever, because we have something going that I don't think this country has seen in 100 years. And as we gather with family and friends, we'll not forget the true source of our joy and our strength. America has put our trust in God. It will always be in God we trust. We will never change that. You know there's a movement to change it. It will not happen. We won't let that happen. Can you imagine a movement to change that? Robert? You're not happy about that when you hear that. Look at him. He's getting angrier and angrier. We can get angry too, can't we?
Speaker 1:Well, isn't that something, ladies and gentlemen? So not only does he defend gender, he defends in God. We trust he comes right out of the gate in his election speech and says hey want y'all to know, right now we are only going to recognize two genders in America. Now people may say why is that important? Now you have to remember whenever there's an attack on the genesis of something, it's trying to destroy God's original intent. So everything that you see in Genesis, whether it's been creation, whether it's been gender, whether it's been marriage, whatever it might have been, it's under attack in this season. Now I don't want to spend a whole lot of time on this, because that's not where I want to go today, but you have to realize something the reason why transgender has come into play, because we're going to move into a season, not very long, that we're going to move into a season not very long, that we're going to see transhumanism taking place as well, where people aren't going to be humans anymore. We're going to have to make sure we define what a human being is. With all this stuff, with AI, with all this stuff, with chat, GPT, with the different type of technology that's coming out, with Bluetooth technology that has the ability to take a chip inside of the brain and cause it to legs. I don't know if you know that or not. They've already have technology out there that can take a chip in the brain for someone that's paralyzed and what they'll do is they'll connect a robotic leg to a person, put the chip where the synapses will snap and fire to tell the leg to move, because the brain is still telling the leg to move, but from the brain to the nerves in the legs there's been a disconnect. So they've actually developed technology now that you can actually put a chip in there and wire it to the place where the leg is connected to and it will Bluetooth to the leg and create a leg to have movement, so almost like a bionic type man. And I believe we're coming into a season where the Nephilim will return. That's a whole nother story that I'll talk about later on here on Dimensions. But we are in the end times, ladies and gentlemen, and we have to make sure that our minds are set on Jesus Christ. We're in that season. I'm saying all that because the devil is slowly trying to eradicate creation, replace it with evolution or whatever else that it might be, instead of having one gender or two genders men and women. Now we've got this whole transgender thing and now we're trying to move into transhumanism, which is coming. I'm telling you right now. I'm telling you right now it is coming, and if you're watching this right now, I want you to take a minute like, subscribe, follow, share, because this is something I believe a lot of people want to hear.
Speaker 1:What happened at President Trump's Easter prayer resurrection service and this is just so good. He's defending the gender. He's defending in God we trust, and people need to understand the fact that we have a president in the most powerful office in the land willing to defend that From the Oval Office. I thought I was like, wow, what type of flack is going to come upon him for being willing in his election speech? He's not doing this behind closed doors like some previous presidents. You know. They're like yeah, I'll do this, that and the third.
Speaker 1:And then the pastor comes out says I've talked with the president. He said he did it in his election speech, saying I'm going to defend gender. No longer are men going to be able to compete in women's sports and women compete in men's sports. That isn't going to stop and the in God we trust he's telling us, saying there's a movement to get rid of in God. We trust he said can you imagine that they're going to try to move in God? That ain't going to happen.
Speaker 1:I mean, ladies and gentlemen, whether you think he's a Christian or not, if you are a believer, you have a man in office, in the most powerful office in the world, saying Christianity will be defended and protected. And listen, there's a lot of things, but so far, what he has said, he has done. We may not like everything he says or does, but he's done what he said he was going to do. And he said I'm going to defend gender. Listen, I believe this with all of my heart. With President Trump doing these things, he's stopping. Ladies and gentlemen, listen, there's a lot of things that I understand.
Speaker 1:I know some people are going to take it the wrong way, feel like, oh yeah, he's a Trumper. Well, listen, this is the reality. He's doing things to say God, we welcome you into America. I'm giving the church a place. I don't need him to be a pastor, I need him to be a president. I need him to be a good president. I'm going to pray for him that he'll be a good president, but what we need, ladies and gentlemen, we've been talking about a great awakening.
Speaker 1:We've been talking about God moving in a supernatural way. We've been talking about revivals coming. Whenever you have a king, a prophet and a priest in office that are directed towards God and give place to God, a national reformation has always taken place King, prophet and priest. Well, guess what? We've got a king in office. If you will, a president. I'm using the Old Testament principle of how national reformation took place. We have a king in office that is willing to say let God move, he's going to defend it.
Speaker 1:The church has to recognize the moment that it is in and be willing to seize the moment. If there's ever been a time that we need to take ground, it's right now, why we have the backing of the highest office in the world saying I'll support Christianity, whether it's the persecuted church, whether it's dealing with gender, whether it's dealing with the preaching of the gospel, whether it's in God we trust. He said that's not going to be removed. Ladies and gentlemen, let's give him his flowers when it comes to that. Let's thank God and listen. Whether you like him or not, what I'm trying to say to you. This is a window of opportunity. This is a moment. This is the time you need to get out and do what God has called you to do. We need to take the ground and take the land while there's time. The Lord spoke to my heart and I said God, well, what happened? And we were from 16 to 20,. Well, what happened? And from 16 to 20, he was there. And then, in 20 to 24, he said the world would have missed the moment. They were not ready, the church wasn't ready for the open window that I was creating. So he allowed four years to go by to get us realigned. And now we have an opportunity, ladies and gentlemen, to get out there and to make some things happen. Ladies and gentlemen, it's very important. He is defending gender and in God we trust.
Speaker 1:I'm giving you an excerpt. I'm giving you excerpts and soundbites from the Easter prayer resurrection service that he did in dinner with preachers and stuff from all over America. They said they had an 88% turnout out of 100% of the people they invited. That all came to the White House and he allowed people to sing the gospel, preach the gospel and do all of these things, and I wanted you to take a look at this. So I want you to take a minute right now, subscribe, follow, share, share this because I want to show you now this is how I know. Now, listen, this is how I know it's legitimate that he's open for the gospel and defending the gospel, defending Christianity, defending Holy Week, all of these things, giving his saying hey, for this Easter, we want Jesus to get in the hearts of all the people that possibly can get. I mean, this is just completely outstanding. It's unprecedented to my, to my knowledge.
Speaker 1:And he brings a man of God in there, jensen Franklin, who is one of my favorite preachers, godly man in every sense of the word, my favorite preachers. Godly man in every sense of the word. Uncompromised preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Lives the life inside and out, husband of one wife, I mean, got a wonderful family, great church. Listen to him. This man preaches outstanding. He brings him in, allows him to give a benediction and speaks a blessing over the people and does a prayer. And I'm like man. This is just outstanding. So I want you to take a look at what Pastor Jensen Franklin had to share at President Trump's Easter prayer resurrection dinner.
Speaker 2:I would now like to ask Pastor Jensen Franklin, a supporter right from day one, been right. He's been here, I think, paula, from the first moment that we started. And who would have known that it was going to turn out this way? But the support I've had from evangelicals, christians and everybody people of faith, really has been incredible. I believe it's been unprecedented, actually by a lot, really has been incredible. I believe it's been unprecedented actually by a lot, not just by a little bit. So, pastor Franklin, if you would please come up, thank you very much. Thank you for your support. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3:I was sitting there and I saw the card they gave me where I was sitting at table one from eastern North Carolina originally, and God called me to preach out in a cornfield and to be here being honored, to represent ministers across the nation who don't get an opportunity like this. We want to say thank you, you don't have to do this, you're too busy to do this, but we want to say thank you. We see all that you do, all your family goes through and we're so thankful. God assigned an angel to stand between you and that bullet. And Jesus walked into a room like this with religious leaders named Peter James, john, matthew, mark, luke, and some might have been on the back table and some might have been watching in a ministry somewhere that nobody's never heard of, and you pastor 50 people and you do it with all of your heart for the glory of God. And Jesus walked into a meeting like this and he took a pot of water and he went from table to table, washing the feet, giving dignity and honor to everyone and also washing and cleansing, and that's what this is all about this week. And to have a president and his first lady make a statement, like you made on social media about this week. You just don't understand how God is using you.
Speaker 3:There's a movement going on in our churches, mr President, and I think this group here can testify. We've never had attendance like we're having. We're running over, our buildings are packed. God is moving in this nation mightily and we're thankful for that. And if you're watching right now and you're broken and you're hurting and you're lonely, or maybe you're in a hospital room or you're wondering, is there any more to life than this? You need Jesus.
Speaker 3:He's not a religion to us and we don't do this for careers, but he bled and he died and he rose from the dead to give us all that blessed hope, and I thank Him for it. Lord, we love you, we thank you, we're so honored and we pray for President Trump and First Lady Melania and their precious family. We do hold them up in this room tonight and we believe that you have them in a bubble of protection, keep them and watch over them, give them wisdom, give them favor and let your goodness and your mercy reign in this nation like never before and we'll give you the praise. Bless this food, bless this evening. In Jesus' name, we pray Amen. Thank you, paula. We love Paula White, isn't she amazing, paula White, please.
Speaker 1:So, ladies and gentlemen, look at that there. So I mean you have the gospel going out to each and every person that is listening and watching. I mean it is just completely outstanding to see what God is doing. I mean, jensen Franklin, who is one of my most respected preachers that I would put on my A-list gives a presidential blessing, speaks of any system. Listen, this is the president. He don't have to do anything. He's already gotten his four years in. He doesn't have to do it. It's not like he's looking for reelection. You know he's look. I mean, after these four years he's done. And so he's making a place for the charismatic faith.
Speaker 1:He makes a statement on Easter, which you can see on whitehousegov and go there, look at the presidential briefings April 13th and be able to check that out, and he gives a briefing saying that we need to give place to Easter. We need to give place to Jesus Christ. It's a time where we, as Christians, are celebrating the death, burial and resurrection. I mean he's not just talking about my Lord and Savior, jesus Christ, I want to give honor to him and that's it we used to shout about that. He's opening the door for the gospel to be preached. I mean, it's just completely outstanding. And Pastor Jensen Franklin is preaching the gospel from the White House. Do you understand what the significance of that is? It is saying that Jesus Christ, now, it's not the message from a Hindu, it's not the message from a different religion or sect or anything along that line. It is a charismatic, tongue-talking preacher of the gospel, president Trump, sitting right there at the table next to him in a closed setting, willing to air this to millions of people on YouTube, running a live stream for no other. It's just the fact that the imprint of the gospel is not only in the White House but being projected out of the White House and the president is saying that he's going to protect and defend the faith, going to protect gender, going to protect in God we trust. I mean, it's just completely outstanding and this is the reason why and I'm almost done I want you to take a minute to share this, because a lot of people didn't get a chance to see it and there are different clips and if you're just tuning in, go back and check it out and watch it.
Speaker 1:I showed all the major hot topics and clips. There was a prayer by Franklin Graham and then also Pastor Paula White came up and I really felt I want to just focus in on President Trump and what he shared, and then Pastor Jensen Franklin. Both of them were just completely outstanding in the things that they shared and just highlighting the fact that we have a president in office that's allowing the gospel to go forth and get this out there so people can see it and share it and see what's happening in the White House and what's transpiring and what's taking place. And this is why, if he's opened the door to the gospel watch this in the highest office of the land in the world, then God is opening the door for the church to take the gospel into the world. I'm gonna say that again If he's opening the door at the highest office in the world, then God is opening a door and a window for the church to take the gospel into the world. So it's important for us to seize this moment.
Speaker 1:These next four years are critical for the church to go out and take back what the devil has stolen, and not only for yourself but for your family, for everything that's going on in your world. Go and get your stuff. God has opened a window. It's time for you to step in and take the inheritance that God asked for. Pray for our president. Yeah, you might see some things in him that isn't correct. I get all of that, but then pray for him. Then Pray that God would touch his heart. There was prophecy sent years and years ago that he would not come in a praying man, but that he would leave out a praying man. So let's believe God for a national revival, a national reformation, for the gospel to go out. The door is open for the church.
Speaker 1:Whether you like President Trump or not is irrelevant to me. This is the reality. What has God given the church in this season? He's given us an opportunity. We need to go out and preach the gospel. We need to go forward and proclaim truth. We need to go forward and take back gender, take back marriage, take back the lives of the unborn. We need to take all of these things and get them back into the hands of the body of Christ. This is a window of opportunity that we all have to seize.
Speaker 1:So I wanted to take some time today and I'm asking you to take a moment to like, subscribe, follow, share, go back and watch this again. If you're just tuning in, I've give several different clips. I've got four or five clips. Four clips of what happened at the Easter prayer service in the White House. That was just completely outstanding. Pastors Paula White and Jensen Franklin and Franklin Graham all were there. President Trump defends Christianity, the persecuted church in America and in the world, and how it's going to stand for them, gender the statement in God we trust and even making sure that our kids are not indoctrinated with things outside of the gospel. I mean, it's just outstanding. Thanks be unto God.
Speaker 1:On this Holy Week we can celebrate the blood stained banner of Jesus Christ in America. This is an opportunity for all of us to seize the moment, whether you like President Trump as irrelevant, see what the Spirit of the Lord is doing, hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying and let our hands be found going forward. This is an opportunity. This is not about politics. This is about the kingdom of God having an opportunity to seize the moment, to go and to take back, to preach the gospel, to win the lost, to go forward and take back gender and marriage and the life of the unborn. This is what it's all about. We've got to seize the moment, hallelujah. So I hope you all have a wonderful Easter, resurrection Sunday that is coming up.
Speaker 1:Tonight we have another live episode. I wanted to go quickly on this one here. This is impromptu, but I'm going to be on here again tonight at 8 PM with Dr William Federer. I'm probably going to get his take on it. We're also gonna be talking about revivals and reformations in the world today and what can happen and what's happened in the past. He's a phenomenal historian. Be talking to him about that and how.
Speaker 1:This is a moment that we can seize right now because of the window of opportunity God has given the church that God has used President Trump to say get the gospel out, go forward. Regardless of what he does in the White House, let him be about his business, but let us be about our father's business. Let him do what he needs to do as a politician. He can't replace the church. He's not a savior, he's not a Messiah. He's just opened the door saying if the church would like to go in, it can go. We need to go. We got to seize the moment. We got to understand the times and the seasons that we are in and we got to realize that God has given us a window to see a national reformation, a revival and something supernatural to happen. So, god bless you all.
Speaker 1:Have a wonderful Easter Resurrection Sunday. Take a minute, like, subscribe, follow, share. Do me a favor, get this out. I believe it's going to be a blessing to a lot of people to see the intricate parts of what happened there with President Trump at that prayer service and share with others and let's go forth and let's see the gospel of Jesus Christ preached. Let's go in the quarters of the doomed and damned and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to every person that needs conversion, and bring somebody to church with you this Sunday, because the gospel is going out. Revival is now and I believe we're going to see a national reformation in Jesus name. God bless you and I'll see you next time right here on Dimension.
