Sensing the Supernatural :: By Terry James

With the 2024 presidential election at the door as of this writing, it is fascinating to consider the strangeness of developments leading to this election day.

We have written many times over the past months in consideration of the obvious imposition of Heaven’s Influence, if that’s the right term, upon the political process going on in America. Most of the restraint we have witnessed has been quite serious, of course. We consider that moment in Pennsylvania when a bullet struck former President Donald Trump’s ear.

Less than an inch existed between the bullet whizzing by and Mr. Trump’s skull. That inch made all the difference between life and death for the former president and for the entire course of America –and, for that matter, the world. All would have changed dramatically and traumatically, with untold consequences, had the assassination been successful.

But the assassination wasn’t allowed to happen.

I couldn’t see it because of being blind now for more than 30 years, but by all description I’ve been given, the turn of his head at the precise moment made the difference in life and instant death. Mr. Trump said very recently that he now knows it was the Hand of God that spared him. He said he felt as if an unseen hand slapped him to the floor at that next moment. He believes it is for the purpose of making America Great Again.

I can’t agree that was necessarily why he was saved from the assassin’s bullet. But I agree wholeheartedly that it was God’s Own Hand, and it was done for such great purpose that it is not possible to fathom at this point in the unfolding events.

The Supernatural was again manifested when a second assassination attempt was stopped. The sniper was found in time despite being in place for hours almost in plain sight. All authorities missed the would-be assassin in his place behind a fence just yards from where the former president would soon be stroking a putt on the golf course green. But God didn’t miss spotting the man with the rifle, and He prompted, I have no doubt, an agent to look at that barrel sticking through the fence in the direction of the approaching presidential party.

The Supernatural has been a part of this entire process of cultural and societal development for many years, particularly in recent years and months.

For example, the economy has been predicted by some of the top experts in fiscal matters to totally collapse due to untenable printing and spending of money in this nation and across the world. The American economy, according to the experts, should have long ago collapsed, bringing down the entire world in its crushing fall.

I have been hearing about this impending calamity for literally 10 years at a minimum. Todd and I have discussed it at least for that long, sitting just feet apart in my small office here in the humble hubbel. But the collapse hasn’t happened, even though the signs of imminent collapse are in every direction.

This is a Supernatural manifestation of Heaven’s Governance over an out-of-control world of inept and even evil people in charge in the high places of powers and principalities –the Ephesians 6:12 bunch, consisting of both demonic and human minions.

It is not yet the moment for that collapse on God’s Prophetic Timeline. It will not happen until He says so. He is Supernaturally holding things up, I’m convinced, until the Church is called into Heaven by the Lord Jesus Christ. It will be business as usual, according to Jesus’ Own Words (Luke 17: 28-30) until that time. And, let us not forget, the primary “Business” is that of the Great Commission Jesus left for believers to accomplish.

And then there is the sense of Supernatural influence and even direct imposition of the Almighty’s authority in dealing with His chosen people and nation. We have looked at how Israel has been able to defeat its enemies without bringing on all-out Mid-East and even global war, through technological genius. And it is genius given the Jewish scientists and others by God that introduced the computer corruption (Stuxnet worm) into Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities to stop Iran’s progress in producing an atomic device.

Then, very recently, the Heaven-Given genius was again on display for all to see when Israel’s scientists and others produced technology that caused hundreds of pagers and other devices to explode at once, disrupting the Israel-haters’ plans to inflict great harm. While the technology wasn’t Supernatural, the genius given by Heaven to pull off such a feat, no doubt, was Supernatural.

And, without meaning to insinuate a macabre sense of humor, we can view this with a bit of levity despite the death and injury caused. We remember reporting just recently how an Islamic cleric who champions the Muslim terrorist factions declared that Israel had always used being in league with ancient genie supernaturalism to always thwart efforts to destroy the Jewish people and nation. He said this use of genie “magic” had been the case since the times of King David’s reign.

And now there is the following bit of news that, in my opinion, adds great and warranted humor to the matter of Sensing the Supernatural, as our commentary’s title puts it.

It’s not working!

Self-proclaimed ‘Reddit Witches’ are complaining that they are finding it difficult to cast negative spells on Donald Trump because he has “some kind of protection around him.”

Yes, really.

A post on the far-left website appeared in a subreddit called ‘Witches Vs Patriarchy’ and features one of the witches bemoaning the fact that their spells aren’t working on the Donald.

“Some other witches have mentioned that doing spells directly against Trump are not as effective as we might hope as he seems to have some kind of protection around him,” laments the witch.

She suggests casting a spell against Project 2025 instead, a Heritage Foundation policy document that wasn’t even created by the Trump campaign and which they have disavowed repeatedly…

The witch then encourages the rest of her coven to perform “uplifting kinds of spells to help Kamala & the Democrats,” which is presumably needed given their increasingly dire poll numbers.

Certainly, there was “some kind of protection around him” on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, when that bullet missed entering his skull by an inch or so. That same not “Something” but “Someone” continues to restrain and have in derision the evil of this world. And that Someone –the God of Heaven—will continue to do so until His people, all Believers in His Son for Salvation, are taken (paralambano) into the clouds of Glory in the Rapture.

You want to be a part of that moving from judgment-bound Planet Earth into the presence of the Lord Jesus in a twinkling of an eye moment. Here is what you need to do if you haven’t done so yet.

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).
