In 1 Thessalonians 5:23, the Bible says, “…. May He (God) keep your whole being-SPIRIT, SOUL, and BODY-blameless when our Lord Jesus Christ comes.” We are ALL a 3-part being; a spirit, a soul (mind, will, and emotions), and a physical body. Another verse says, “The spiritual does not come first, but the physical and THEN the spiritual.” In other words, the physical life comes first, then the spiritual. — (1Cor. 15:46) Stick with me now, I’m going somewhere with this.

On Friday, the day of Donald Trump’s Inauguration, my Pastor sent me this text late that night. — Kevin, this is, “first the natural then the spiritual” that’s happening tonight with Trump. As it is in the natural, it’s going to be in the spiritual next. And it’s going to be greater than anything we’ve ever seen; it’s not later… it’s NOW.

Saturday morning (before I knew about the text) Margie and I were at a friends house and someone said, “Trump might be smart but there’s no way he could become president on his own. It was GOD that put him there!” The minute they said that, it hit me like a BRICK…. GOD DID THIS! That’s why nobody can figure out how he won! God chose someone UNqualified as a politician, and “foolish” in the eyes of others, to shake-up our nation. The Bible says, “It’s written, I’ll turn conventional wisdom on its head, I’ll expose so-called experts as crackpots.” (1Cor. 1:19)

When we got home I finally saw the text and I had an overflow of Scriptures and Biblical examples running through me. Remember, in 1 Corinthians it says, “first the natural then the spiritual.” If President Trump is the natural side of this, then I can’t wait until the spiritual happens. Why? Because Donald Trump broke the mold, and broke political records, when it comes to the typical profile of a president. Plus, he came into this with a strategy of reaching individuals, the people… not just a party or a position. That means the “spiritual side” would shake-up and interrupt our nation as God uses the UNqualified, because He will qualify them. He would raise up those who have been tagged “foolish” by others. They may not fit the profile of the religious, they may not have a seminary degree, and they won’t be seeking a title or a position, they just love God and love people. Their faith will be supernatural, their BOLDness, courage, and commitment to the Kingdom of God will be contagious. As they spread throughout our nation we will SEE and PARTICIPATE in the greatest display of God’s Glory, as He works through the Body of Christ in signs, wonders, and miracles.

I don’t know about you, but I want to see, and be, in a spiritual move of God. I want to shake-up and interrupt (in a good way) the lost, the hurting, and the sick, with signs, wonders and miracles! I urge you to make 2017 the year you get serious about knowing God personally. Dive into your Bible. Commit to praying for others. And most of all, LISTEN, listen to the One who knows everything and follow His lead.

Thanks for reading this!
In Him, Pastor Kevin Kinchen
