Max Lucado shares strange dream that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton reached a truce
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton made a truce as they campaign for the White House in one of preacher Max Lucado's strangest dreams.
The 61-year-old minister at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas shared Wednesday on his blog what he referred to as not just the "strangest dream" but also a "longing" as he slept through the televised Republican National Convention and headline news of the political turmoil and gun shooting violence happening in the country.
Even Lucado's dreamland turned out rife with the current American politics and yet it proved so different from reality that led the Christian writer to think of it as not just a dream but a longing as well. In his dreams, Lucado shared, the two presidential contenders shocked the nation by declaring a truce from the negative campaigning and political bickering for the sake of troubled America.
The New York Times best-selling author wrote, "Wouldn't it be something, I mean, really something, if one or both of them said: "Here is the truth. We don't know how to heal this country. But God does."
The prolific writer also stirred the Christian community in February when he wrote an op-ed for The Christian Post about Trump not passing his "decency test." Since then, Lucado went on tour for "Worship Night in America" to bring Americans closer to Jesus by uniting in prayer.
He also quoted God's promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14 that says, "If my people, who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and heal their land."
Strange as the dream may have turned out, Lucado thought that his longing manifested itself into a dream but that it doesn't have to be confined to mere dreams or yearning. He believed the vision in his dreams could become a reality in one's living room, bedroom, and church and with everyone else.
"We can repent, humble ourselves, and pray. And when we do, who knows, our fondest dreams might come true," he concluded.
