Trump & the Future of America

Preached immediately after the July 2024 attempt on Donald Trump’s life, this message presents Dean Odle’s belief that God raised Trump as a flawed instrument to restrain evil and give the United States further mercy. Odle recounts prophetic impressions from 2016 onward, compares God’s choices of Cyrus and David, discusses presidential security, foreign policy, political office, and personal dreams, and distinguishes support for an instrument from worship of a politician; those prophetic and political claims remain the speaker’s interpretations.

Fighting Witchcraft

In “Fighting Witchcraft,” Pastor Dean Odle teaches that believers must actively resist spiritual attack rather than assume conversion automatically removes every conflict. He defines witchcraft broadly as occult practice, manipulative words, intimidation, rebellion, curses, and demonic pressure, then grounds resistance in Christ’s authority, submission to God, prayer, and awareness of Satan’s devices.

He identifies the first five trumpets with World War I, World War II, Chernobyl, the Gulf War’s burning oil wells, and the 2008–2009 financial crisis.
