James Robison: God Is Using Trump to Usher in 'The Greatest Spiritual Awakening in History'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Right-wing pastor James Robison posted a video yesterday defending himself and other evangelical leaders who have given their uncritical support to President Trump in return for enacting their political agenda, insisting that God is using the president to usher in “the greatest spiritual awakening in history.”

Robison, who has been a key spiritual adviser to Trump since the 2016 election and has repeatedly insisted that Trump is on a path to developing a deep faith in Christ, claimed that Trump has repeatedly “asked us to surround him with prayer,” which religious right leaders have been more than happy to do.

“Every great and positive thing that is happening today is happening as an answer to the prayers of committed, sold-out people God often refers to as The Remnant,” Robison said. “I believe the positive things that are happening are an answer to prayer, and I believe the willingness of this man to stand up against all the assault and keep trying to do what he believes is best is a miracle of God.”

“I believe if we keep praying, [God] will hear and he will have people sitting in front of [the president] who will so speak the truth with conviction, convincingly and with wisdom, and I believe he will respond,” Robison added. “I think we can witness the greatest spiritual awakening in history and one of the least likely people, many of you would say, will be used by God to accomplish God’s will for the blessing and benefit of this nation.”

God is using Trump you say. Why? Did he run out of locusts?

[padah513]

1. Didn't know he was still around

[dhol82]

2. So, how money does he want to keep the message going?

Private airplanes ain’t cheap.

[Newest Reality]

3. Oho!

Knee slapper! The blind leading the blind. Watch out for that bottomless pit!

[lunatica]

4. It's definitely a great awakening.

I’ll give them that, but everything after that is pure verbal and spiritual diarrhea a la Linda Blair in The Exorcist.

Lots of people are woke now.

[Thomas Hurt]

5. Someone get a net...

[spanone]

6. fuck him.

[sinkingfeeling]

7. Is that why people are fleeing away from churches?

[RKP5637]

10. OMG, NO, fleeing away from churches and running to tRump.

42. This is a sickness - why can't they see it?

[RKP5637]

8. When do the lion pits open? n/t

[kimbutgar]

9. the only thing mf 45 is ushering is hate. He is the god of hate.

Nothing he says or does invokes what Jesus was about which he said “love thy neighbor as yourself”. These false prophets money changers like Robison turns people off from religion.

[FakeNoose]

43. We both know it - there's nothing Christian about what they are doing

/file

They're total hypocrites!

[Midnight Writer]

11. I gotta say, I'm not religious, but Trump has got me praying.

[mercuryblues]

33. Yup

I'm praying he eats a big mac, swished down with a chocolate shake a day.

[A HERETIC I AM]

12. Translation; Church attendance is way down...

And religious skepticism is rising dramatically, leading to a drop off in income for me and other liars...er...shysters....ummm..Pastors. Yeah. Pastors.

We need all the help we can get so we can force our views on the public and keep our high paying but basically useless existence going forward

[czarjak]

13. Name one soul Trump has led to Christ, take all the time you need.

[Moostache]

14. Pastor, which of these is among the "great things happening" because of Trump?

1) Children in cages? Permanent separation of immigrant families?
2) Runaway deficits due to imprudent tax policy?
3) Economic slowdown trending towards potential recession?
4) THOUSANDS of dead from hurricanes in the past 3 years (Puerto Rico / Bahamas)
5) Mass shootings inspired by President's hateful rhetoric?
6) 12,000+ lies told to the American Public since January 2017?
7) Wife #1 and 3 kids? ditched for Wife #2 and 1 kid? ditched for Wife #3 and "her kid"?
8) Pastor's choice...name ANYTHING REAL and claim it!!!


Fuck these abhorrent, so-called evangelicals...if you claim this religion, then Trump is wholly incompatible with your avowed worldview...unless you get sexually aroused by abusing people of color or stealing from the needy to enrich yourself.

[Eyeball_Kid]

15. One knucklehead after another thinks that they know what God is thinking.

Robison is one in a long line of delusional rich people who made their fortune by selling a bill of goods to gullible people. While there is plenty to suggest that, in 2019, the Age of Enlightenment has passed, the Era of the Con Job is in its ascendency.

[Keg Stand]

16. I don't know what makes him think so probably all those cheap drugs he's been taking. n/t

[napi21]

17. Other than placing Fed. judges, what "positive things" can Robison be referring to?

I get their happiness with the SCOTUS apps & all the Fed. judges but I'm trying to think of what other things he's referencing? Trying to destroy the EPA, pissing off all our allies, being buddy, buddy with Putin & Un, tax reductions for the wealthy, stopping immigration, etc. hat is pleasing the religious crowd?

[mr_lebowski]

20. Anything that Triggers Teh Libtards is, by definition, the Work Of God Himself!

You didn't know?

[mr_lebowski]

18. In fact, one Sunday morning ...

He even let his photographers take some pictures of me ministering to him in his limo, while we were on the way to the golf course!

Talk about FAITH!

[Maeve]

19. I think he's right that these are "sold-out people" supporting tRump

But it sure ain't the Christianity I learned in any Bible class I ever took....

[TxVietVet]

21. Like I believe, pulpit pimp.

How stupid do you think the rest of America is? You might as well as be pushing Satan (if he exists).

[The Genealogist]

22. Ushering money into the pockets of the ueber-rich, he means

The pastor is simply playing his role: making sure the gullible idiot deplorables keep worshiping Donald Trump, while more and more wealth is transferred to a handful of people who already have more money than they could ever spend. This guy knows Trump is not some kind of savior sent from a deity. Too bad the deplorables can't be made to see what is going on.

[3catwoman3]

23. I am praying. It goes like this - "Good Gawd."

“No more! Make it stop!”

[TlalocW]

24. That's why "Nones" are now at the same percentage of the population as Catholics... AND Evangelicals

Why more and more people are leaving the church. Why younger people are rejecting what the conservative churches teach about everything, etc.

These assholes have finally stopped pretending that what they claim to believe in is important at all, and that it's all about having power. They saw how the Obamas, who never had a single family scandal, were treated, called unChristian and worse, and how they couldn't wait to declare Trump as God's deliverance. Their hypocrisy will be on the internet for all times, and it will continue to drive people away from them.

25. The right-wing pastor is a perfect fit for the KKK

[rurallib]

26. lots of Americans have been praying for him and he's still not in jail

I am beginning to think prayer doesn't work.

[winetourdriver01]

27. Yeah

It's called Grifter Heaven.

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. Conmen attracted to the Biggist Con

Don't forget to buy some of Brother Jimmy Baker's homemade survival slop for the Great Awakening!

[stopbush]

29. Yawn. Childish beliefs and thinking.

[FarPoint]

30. He is the....

" Usher of Destruction"...HBO.. Carnivale...

[Takket]

31. LOL yeah sure you nut bag

Whatever you need to say to keep fit brain dead flock dumping cash into your collection trays. Only a few million away from the private jet!!!

[rollin74]

32. spiritual awakening? yes, perhaps

however it doesn’t seem to involve traditional organized religion

mainstream organized religion is most definitely on the decline

nothing Trump or Robison can do about that

[eShirl]

34. enablers

[Vinca]

35. These people are so fucking gullible. Wonder if they've asked Lord Don for a significant

contribution to their faux ministries. Now that the Trump "charity" foundation is kaput, there's no way to easily funnel other people's money into donations Trump can take credit for.

[Hekate]

36. Locusts...Trump... Can boils be far behind?

If the Mad King is the instrument of God, I feel pretty well smited already.

How delusional can people be?

[Norbert]

37. Jimmy boy, your messiah is fucked up and so are you.

[bobbieinok]

38. IIRC Robison was a major religious advisor for W

Some yrs ago I caught some of his show on either TBN or CBN. He was going on and on about how he'd heard Reagan speaking to pastors early in Reagan's career as a politician and how he Robison could just feel the prescence of god on 'this wonderful man.'

[Midnight Writer]

39. Another political shill making millions and paying no taxes because...?

[bluestarone]

40. If RUMP is the CHOSEN ONE you

Can FUCKING HAVE HIM!!

[Initech]

41. Religious wingnuts like this are why we can't have nice things.
