It Wasn't About Trump
In this book, I point out that racism is a spirit. A spirit being. I assert that it is one of the prevalent principalities over America. I believe that its primary assignment, in concert with the spirit of division, is to keep America, even the body of Christ in America, divided across racial lines. In this book, I talk about the tremendous spiritual power of unity, especially in the body of Christ. Many people have made Donald Trump the face of racism and division. I have written three books in which I don’t hesitate to identify his contributions to America’s division across ethnic/racial lines. But President Trump is out of the Oval Office. Though his influence is still felt across Republican Party politics, his national influence has greatly diminished. But racism and division remain. These forces have new expressions in efforts to erase from America’s history the connections between slavery, Jim Crow, and the denial of Civil Rights to poverty and inequity and in concerted efforts to restrict/block the ways the primary ways that black and brown people voted in the last national election. Even in the recent controversy in the Southern Baptist Convention, we see these two agents at work. Racism and division are supernatural forces that we will always have to acknowledge, resist, and battle.
Book Excerpt
The Making of A Great America Uprooting the Spirit of Racism
This is an excerpt from the chapter titled "The Spirit of Racism ":
Unity across the races is needed in order for America to fulfill its great destiny in the earth. Just as people have a ‘call of God’ on their lives, I believe America has a call in God’s great end-time plans for reconciliation of all the people of the Earth. America has an assignment given to her by God. It is the reason she has been given great wealth and prominence in the Earth at this time.
An all-white America with every other people group displaced to reservations, visible and invisible, is not God’s vision for America. This vision of America will not be the witness to the world that God intended. This compromised Christianity, built on the foundation of hate, discord, and division, dims ‘the light of the glorious gospel of Christ’ (2 Cor 4:4). It will not attract the predominantly brown, black, and yellow people groups of the world—and the devil knows it. Sadly, many Christians don’t know it.
