GOD has given us the greatest and most powerful weapon of all, that is the power of HIS SON JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT to dwell within us – IT’S HEAVEN UNLEASHED! This includes our Almighty God and Father at the helm! If God be for us, who then can stand against us? NOTHING CAN STAND AGAINST US! These three are one, and we, who believe, are made one with the Father, and with His only begotten Son, Jesus and with the Holy Spirit. Amen!
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV
Oh how those praying and staying in the Holy Spirit for wisdom, understanding, strength, direction and comfort have been mocked by those shouting to ‘do something and do it now!’ The many verbal lashings from the same who said, ‘You stupid people and your prayers are going to get slaughtered!’, “Your God is not coming to save you, get up and fight!” These are the same ones who in their very words show that they have succumbed to the lies of the dark principalities and powers who use their own negative emotions against them to create fear, anger and chaos. They have no idea they have fallen into the brain damage negative emotions cause.
These same shouters are the ones that poke at others to grab a weapon and hit the streets to have war with those who have space based technology that can pulverize a city in seconds. The strength to have patience and wait upon the Lord is far more challenging than the self will to hit back, and rally others to run helter skelter into the chaos and create more of it. Mob mentality is a tool of the devil and a result of the lack of wisdom.
In my book “The Spear of Destiny – The Journey Begins”, there is a scene where Mary Magdalene tells Longinus (the Centurion who speared the side of our Lord on the cross) that those he calls weak are actually displaying more strength than those who fight back with a sword.
EXCERPT FROM THE SPEAR OF DESTINY:
After he was finished eating, Longinus began to speak of Nero and the manner in which he tortured the Christians. Mary cringed at hearing such things. “I have heard he was killing many followers, but no one has told me as horrid a description as you have told. It is most evil.”
“Mary, I can no longer bare this thing. I do not understand why the Lord has blessed me with great strength to protect, yet I am only one and cannot be everywhere. I do not understand why the Father has shown himself to the followers and then allows them to be slaughtered like sheep? They are as dry bones. When will they stand up and become a great and powerful army?”
“Longinus, it takes great strength and courage to stand for the kingdom of heaven, knowing you will be tortured and then slain for taking that stand. The sheep you call dry bones are standing! Open your eyes and see it!”
Longinus looked like a deer in the headlight as he was being scolded by her words.
“Longinus, hear me please, there is no weapon nor brawn that can ever surpass such a great and powerful army for the Lord. Those who stand firmly on their faith and choose the living God over the dictates of this world will win for death has no victory over their soul. Jesus gave his life for all who believe. He lives in them.”
“If he lives in them, why are they being tortured and killed?”
“Longinus it is an evil war we are in. The principalities and powers of darkness want to overshadow the kingdom of heaven. But their demons of wickedness will not ever be as strong or as powerful as even one who is martyred for their faith and belief in the Lord.
“Their rewards shall be great in heaven. Those that do evil for the darkness will burn for eternity in the fires of Sheol!”

Innocent people are always afflicted and suffer needlessly by those who lack truth, in the same manner they did to our Lord they will do to all who believe the truth. For it is the truth that sets us free. Jesus said the world hated me and it will hate you. He also said we are in the world but not of the world. We are all given free will to think, feel and choose. Call on the Lord and renew your mind daily in the Lord.
Those that take matters into their own hands without direction of the Lord have succumbed to the negative things bred by fear and propaganda from the enemy. From this negative rule of emotions comes the lack of patience, and wisdom. Mob mentality is the result of impulsive and out of control fear and anger. It comes from a point of weakness and lack of faith. It is not organized or thought through. It is the result of thinking, feeling and choosing from negative emotions, and listening to those who lack faith and think negative thoughts filled with hate, anger, and fear which Dr. Caroline Leaf identifies as brain damage.
Much sick thinking is caused by listening to lies, deceit, and following fools that have let their fear and anger blind them. It is not self defense, or an organized militia, it is generally led by blind guides with no plan but to ‘kill, steal and destroy’ something they feel needs to be killed, stolen or destroyed. This ends up bad.
We are witnessing all of this on a world scale. There is always a time to stand and a time to fight back. In fighting back there are many ways to overcome evil. The way of the Lord is to call on Him for strength, wisdom, understanding, protection, comfort, and to know that God will position all things for good to them who love the Lord. Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.
Romans 12:16-21
16Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
This is not to say, that you can not defend yourself when attacked physically. It means we are to call upon the Lord and not to take matters into our own hands illegally. There are many ways to stand up legally and when that is no longer existing… God will show you what to do and how to stand. Not a mob of negative, hatefilled, fearful, anxiety ridden shouters telling their version of deceitful observations.
So often in reporting the facts that are truths, people succumb to the fear and saddness of it all and let their minds think, feel and choose wrongly. We must guard against this negative mindset, like a wise king who in hearing a bad report, remains calm and asks for council on the matter from his wisest sages and military generals. This is to say, the time to call upon the Holy Spirit and the Lord who dwells within you. for greater is He who is IN YOU THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD.
Stay the course, hold on to what you have and just as a seed is nurtured with water, sunlight, and nutrition from the soil (the Word of God and prayer)…you will grow your faith, little by little and sometimes in great bursts. As the Lord said…if you have faith as the size of a mustard seed…you can say to this mountain be removed and tossed into the sea and it shall be removed. The Lord used the example of the mustard seed and said it is the smallest of all seeds and when it has GROWN it is the largest of all. He said this so others can see that their faith begins small…and even if it is that tiny…it takes that tiny little bit planted to begin to grow into the big tree it was meant to be.
Remember also, a seed must die first in order to be planted and grow again into what it was meant to be. Therefore, take off the old and be born anew in the Lord. Grow where you are planted and be nutured by the warmth of the light and nurturing of the Holy Spirit for God did not leave us as orphans without direction and the Holy Spirit to teach us all things.
Keep pressing into the Kingdom of God and know that the Lord is watching all things and the Armies of heaven surround you!
Remember that God told us all through His prophets what to do!
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV
KEEP ON PRESSING FORWARD….THIS IS HOW WE HEAL OUR LAND AND USHER IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD!
