Matthew Hagee, Pastor Cornerstone Church, San Antonio TX [00:00:04] What happened Tuesday was indeed a victory. But it was not that as a country we turned back to God because we turned away from him a long time ago. [00:00:19] What we saw Tuesday night is that God has not turned on us. [00:00:30] Tuesday night we got a work permit here in the city of San Antonio if you want to build something you can’t start until you get a work permit. Had the result been different the opposition would have made it almost impossible for a Bible believing Spirit filled gospel preaching church to do its work. But because of the result we have we now have a leader who will not oppose He will not stand against and he will enable us to do what our king put us here to do. Galen Guengerich, Reverend All Souls Church, New York, NY [00:01:13] It’s not us against. Them. It’s us. Against. [00:01:18] Us. In my view we are now experiencing a clash. Between the reality of what America had always been. Against the ideal of what America could become. [00:01:34] And indeed has been becoming. [00:01:37] We become even more of a melting pot even more open and inclusive. [00:01:43] That’s the irony. And that’s the source of deepest pain at least to me. [00:01:49] The earthquake came on Tuesday precisely because America has been edging ever closer to the ideal. [00:01:57] America has always represented both to itself and to the rest of the world. Bryan Wilkerson, Pastor Grace Chapel, Lexington MA [00:02:03] Let’s remember that people who voted differently than we did are our neighbors. This election has called our attention to them and we’re called and commanded to love them as we love ourselves too to pay attention to listen to value to understand them. As we come together. We’ll be sharing the bread sharing the cup with people. Who voted differently than we did. People who are feeling differently than we are feeling right now but people who have a love for Jesus Christ and for his gospel and for the work of the church. Reverend Gary Braun, Catholic Student Center at Washington University St. Louis Missouri [00:02:44] What do you do when you lose and lose big. When the stakes at least to use seem high. When it seems like the world has come. [00:02:59] To an end. Or at least a big piece of your world has come to an end. This mass is a chance to lick our wounds a little bit. We need to give ourselves space to take care of ourselves and to take care of each other. And let’s just say that for many right now if we don’t give ourselves that space and the chance for a good cry. It can backfire all over us and all over our country. William Barber, Reverend Myers Park Baptist Church, Charlotte NC [00:03:32] Right now we are seeing what we would rather not see. I told my church this morning. [00:03:39] That about three o’clock. Earlier whereas the morning. [00:03:45] Many of you said the same thing that Jesus said when he saw a fig tree. That wasn’t produce. [00:03:54] There. [00:04:02] This is the moment my brother this is where our faith in God. [00:04:08] And the prophetic role of faith has been. [00:04:14] Like it is now down through history it must be real. Our faith must be real right there. This is where we must remember in this moment. How our ancestors responded to disappointment without allowing it to deter them from the march toward justice. Shmuel Goldin, Rabbi Congregation Ahavath Torah Englewood, NJ [00:04:38] We want what’s best for the United States. We want what’s best for the world and at the same time we also want what’s best for us and for our people and for the state of Israel and for our concerns. We should never become so insular that we’re not concerned about the society around us that we’re not part of the society around us and therefore we pray that these elections will bring some sort of unity to the United States. [00:05:05] We are concerned about the deep divisions that exist within the society and we hope that there will be a healing and a bringing together a lot of. Suhaib Webb, Imam Washington, DC [00:05:16] These are very difficult times and I can’t tell you that it’s going to get better. But the only thing that I can tell you is in the law had to add up lay up. But you know to you that applies. Good. [00:05:27] So as we struggle and no doubt this is a challenge this is going to be perhaps one of the greatest challenges we face as a community in this country. [00:05:36] The ultimate place to go is what allah says in the quran. Go back to Allah [00:05:41] Go back to a law. And have a relationship with the quran. Donald Trump has offended the Latino community the gay community Hispanics blacks Muslims Jews Christians heathens you name it. So that is an opportunity now for us to do something that we really haven’t done well and that is lead to awful to build with people because the future of this country relies on it. Christian Garcia, Pastor Pneuma Church, Miami, FL [00:06:08] Donald Trump might not be the perfect candidate and he might have a lot of flaws. I believe he’s standing upon the correct platform to bring a reformation back to this country so that we can stand upon the principles upon which this country was founded and which established you guys listening. We are here to pray for the people that he’s placed in authority and we’re going to take a moment guys and we’re going to pray for our nation. Father we come before you right now. My God in the mighty name of Jesus thanking you for the United States of America we pray for our new president Lord God we pray for Donald Trump right now and his family lord God we ask protection over his life. My lord we the mighty angels around him Lord God we ask for the senate we ask for the house we ask for the Supreme Court. Father we are asking for our nation like never before. My God. And we ask that you would have mercy upon us Lord God. And once again let your people rise up and let them shine with a light of Jesus. All these things we’re declaring it and a mighty mighty name of Jesus we pray. [00:07:15] Amen now. Put our hands together for Jesus Christ come on
