His tweet reads:

“I really believe that it will happen, and I wish that you could see what I see – the hope that the parable of Saul and David brings - the after-victory. I understand that there are varying interpretations of the parable of Saul & David, and that is fine.
“However, I stand by what I heard God say to me: that Saul came before David. This means that even if this election does not go the way that you want it to go, don’t be disappointed.”

He further stated that every election would come with disappointments for the various candidates, but he is optimistic that God will prevail.
