GOD Will Reveal "Healing for America"

 God Will Reveal a 'Healing Process' for America, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem Says - Christian headlines

Kristi Noem, the Republican governor of South Dakota, tackled a number of issues in an interview on CBN News on Wednesday, including religious freedom, cancel culture and the coronavirus pandemic.

Noem explained to CBN News Chief Political Analyst David Brody that she did not implement lockdown procedures during the pandemic because she felt that it would be government overreach.

"I know that when you have a leader overstep their authority in a time of crisis, that's really when you lose this country, and I didn't want to be guilty of doing that," she explained. "I never issued a shelter in place, I never closed a business. I didn't even define an essential business, what would be essential and what wouldn't be because I don't have the authority to do that," she said.

Noem noted that she believes other leaders, particularly governors in Democrat-run cities, have politicized the pandemic.

"At the beginning of this crisis back in March and April, I don't think it was really politically motivated because these same Democrat governors that are on TV, tearing apart the president today, months ago, were singing his praises," she said, adding how they were thanking Trump during conference calls for his assistance during the pandemic.

"What I am saying, though, is that what I heard on those conference calls was fear. I was shocked and amazed by how fear controlled people, and how emotional they were. And to me it indicated to me that in this country we've lost faith and the steadfast promise of God's faithfulness in our life every day has real consequences," she continued. "If you don't have that in your life then your emotions and fear can control you and make you not have the discernment and wisdom that you need in a time of crisis."

- Father, we thank You for Governor Noem, that she believe that You will help America in this time of great need. We ask Your protection and blessing for her.
