While we're held back by the enemy's Covid19 pandemic, along with the rioting, burning and looting, are you praying and standing in faith that God will cause you to triumph over evil, like His Word says? Many people are glued to their televisions or computers, watching the news. We listen to so many opinions given by the media and then foster our own opinions from them. I hear more blame given to our President, than the war on humanity occurring on our streets.
It's easy to sit at home and call the shots from our living room as "arm chair quarterbacks." If your house, car or business was burned, looted or destroyed though, then you'd be calling for the troops to be sent out and stop it. If one of your family members was being shot or having bricks, Molotov cocktails or bottles of urine thrown at them, then would you be critical of the calls to send the troops or anyone to stop it? The world only sees what it wants to see and accepts things as they are. The peaceful protesters are sincerely seeking justice for George Floyd, who was killed by a policeman. Others though, see it as the opportunity they've been waiting for, in order to steal, kill, and destroy.
There have been wealthy people who've hired busloads of agitators, to cause unrest and turmoil, in the cities they've been bused to. They don't have any regard or care to the innocent people, whose lives they're turning upside down. Our country is already been hit by the Covid19, which has caused so many businesses to close amid the lock down. Fifteen million people have lost their jobs, small business owners might not be able to reopen, schools are closed, and people don't have money to buy food to feed their families. And now, add the chaos of the rioting, looting and burning.
I believe that justice should be done on behalf of this man, whose life was cut short by a policeman, but not at the expense of other innocent people. We can protest the injustice through peaceful means and through prayer. The looters and rioters are paid to take advantage of the opportunity to bring our country down by lawlessness. And they've done so without consequence. Many in Hollywood are even paying their bail, when they should have given that money to George Floyd's family to cover his funeral expenses and more.
The people who are funding and supporting the criminal acts of brutality, will suffer the consequence and penalty for their conduct. There's a justice that is much higher and sees everything happening behind-the-scenes. Dr. Martin Luther King changed the face of a whole nation and he did it without rioting and looting. He did it by protest, prayer and God's help. Some today are staying in the realm of Truth and following Dr. King's pattern, but not everyone is. It's easy to be swayed by the mob, but it's wrong.
Church, this is the time to bring the power of prayer and our faith to bear upon this time of chaos. God tells us in 2Chronicles 7:14 (Amplified), "If My people, who are called by My Name will turn from their wicked ways, humble themselves and pray and seek My Face, I will hear from Heaven and heal their Land." God didn't say that "Everyone must pray," but He said, "If My people." If those who are called by His Name still believe this scripture, then we must pray.
God isn't responsible for all the foolishness that going on, like some would tell you. God isn't the problem, but He is the Answer to the problem. It's easy to stay sitting and say, "Well it must be God's will" or "God's in control of this mess." This is the attitude of people who don't know the Father's heart, which is full of Love for them. Jesus said in John 10:10 that, "The thief comes to steal,kill, and destroy." We can definitely see the enemy's signature on the things happening around our nation today.
It's easy for TV hosts to criticize our Commander in Chief, because they're houses are in gated communities and their families aren't being terrorized. If they were, then you'd hear their cries for him to do more to protect them. If they had worked a lifetime, struggling and sacrificing to build a business, only to watch it looted and burned down, then you wouldn't see them being so gleeful at the riots.
How would you feel, if your children were hiding and crying in fear, but you were unable to protect them? If you're a Christians and involved in these protests, then you must handle it God's way, in prayer and standing on His Promises to deliver and bring justice.
God said in 2Chronicles, that "He will heal our land." Our land is sick with unGodly laws, open defiance in the Face of God and dirty politics, that we've come to the place where chaos is abounding. The Church has accepted it as being the new normal. The Church was given charge and authority over things here on earth. We've been given charge over the demonic things happening in our government too. We have the responsibility to pray and we should have been in prayer, before the chaos began. We shouldn't wait to pray for God to fix things, when the enemy brings disaster. We must listen to the Holy Spirit and He will direct our prayers, before the enemy strikes. If the world saw the power of prayer through the Church, then they would join our prayer meetings and bring their prayer requests before the Lord.
The world sees little results of the Church's prayers. Believers don't see results from their prayers either and say, "God must be allowing it, in order to teach us something." God's Word tells us that, "Even what the enemy meant for evil, the Lord can turn it to our good." When we intercede and come before the Lord in prayer, He can and will turn this chaos into triumph, not only for the Church, but everyone involved. It's time for the Church to shine as the Light of the world and trust God to shut this thing down. We read about Elijah stopping the rain for 31/2 years, by praying. The rain began again, after he prayed again. If one righteous man could do this in prayer, then what could two-billion people who are the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus do, if we prayed?
