Stephen A. Smith, Trump & the Spiritual Divide

Oh, man. Where do I start on this one? I just watched on YouTube. Stephen A. Smith. Known for his ESPN commentary. A very loud megaphone. You know, over the years, he's gotten deep into politics. He has talked about politics on Sirius XM. And actually, quite frankly, I think he does an outstanding job. I've never had a problem with Stephen A. Smith whatsoever. I think, obviously, he stands on what he believes in. He never crosses that line. He doesn't compromise what he stands for. I mean, I go from sports teams to politics. So he recently just interviewed our president of the United States, Donald Trump. Over the years, coming and spending 10 years in political talk radio and live stream shows and being in that culture, being around some of these people, some of the bigger broadcasters, I've come to realize that I had to just unplug from it all. I had to just literally take a breath and get away from it all. But, you know, I still dip my toes from time to time, watch things, read things. So I'm not totally having my head in the sand. So I watched some of this interview. I thought Stephen A. Smith did a fantastic job. I think sometimes he's overzealous a little bit. You know, he was trying to cut the president off and Donald Trump was basically reading off a sheet of paper what he's done for the black community. You know, and granted, I didn't do my research on this, what the president was saying compared to any other president that's done anything outside of Abraham Lincoln, Donald Trump's done so much for the black community. And I'm starting to realize like how this media, this media, whatever you want to call it, this media divide this media system that we have here in the United States from the left, the right, the center, the middle, and to the political atmosphere of the left, the right, the center of how backwards everything actually is. And I'm convinced more than ever before that being around this stuff and just seeing it and being spiritually in tune and seeing these things for what they are to me, And, you know, some people might rebuke my statements when I say this, but I think it's just a distraction. I think political agendas for this country is distractions. Because I feel like the whole global economic system is controlled by some elites, maybe even spiritual elites. People of the unknown that we've never seen before. pulling the strings, pulling the back end strings. And the reason I say that is because if you are a believer in the Bible, you have faith, you're a Christian, you can read through some of Revelation and read through the Bible and get some information about what is going on in this world. And more than ever before, we are in this time which I know now, I feel like there's layers to this thing. We have so many distractions here in our daily lives that we can easily, easily get off the rails when we're truly trying to walk in communion with the Lord daily. There's just so many things. Picking up your phone and doom scrolling. And immediately those feeds are just filled to what agitates you the most. Could be political talk and getting agitated that the left did this and the right did this. The divides. Everything's set to divide. It's destroying households. It's destroying relationships. Folks, we have a very big enemy and he's called the Prince of Darkness. The Prince of Darkness is slick. He knows the Bible inside and out. And if you're really in tune to what's going on in the world and you want to stay in the know, you will clearly see that this whole system The devil wants to kill and destroy anything that is in his way. So as believers, should we be in politics? I don't know. I really don't know. Most men of God or women of God would probably say, You're naive, Jeff. And granted, this is where I stand on this. I don't believe in the political system anymore. I think it's set up to divide. I think it's set up to cause so much division. And I truly believe, and I'm not, you know, I'm not talking about pro-Donald Trump here. I'm talking about that we could have, just say we had a brand new president. He did all these amazing things. And there was proof on paper what he has done or she's done for this country. There would still be opposition. Like you didn't do enough. You did this and you didn't do this. And the mixed signals, the lies, the things that the media creates to divide. I truly believe that because truly the end result, we are looking for a savior to save our country through the, the presidential race or through Congress that these people are actually going to save us. But we, we serve a King. We are part of a kingdom, the kingdom of God. We serve a King. And when you are under his rulership and his kingdom, things will work out because you submit to the king. See, that's where America is missing this whole thing. I believe all the things that are going on in the world right now, eventually, is going to usher in the biggest move of God that this country has ever seen. And there's going to be no middle ground anymore. You won't be able to tiptoe around. But I think people have the right intention. They have the right heart. But they're getting behind the wrong things. They're getting behind politics. But if they get behind the true king, think about this world and how better the world would be long term. We serve a king. The king of kings. Yeshua, Jesus. It's an amazing thought. That's the only thing that is going to change our world. Jesus. I'm Jeff Adams, and we'll talk soon.
