Family,
In 2020 we were hit with real challenges from a pandemic, to shutdowns, grief, isolation, and the biggest for me no more church. I began to pray and ask God what must me do, and His word came so clear to me from 1 Chronicles 7:14 : if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
This seems like the easiest solution. All God asks is that we humble ourselves, pray, and seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways. Many of us are unable to see past uncertainties, fears, violence, pain, and the worst of them all loss of hope. Instead we hate, we fear, we riot, we scream at each other, we kill, and follow the crowd blindly.
We are in the height of hatred and the god of this world has blinded us as 2 Corinthians 4:4 says: among them the god of this world [Satan] has blinded the minds of the unbelieving to prevent them from seeing the illuminating light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God see color and block the truth.
Word to the wise: sin originated with Satan not “man." See Genesis 3:14 as it says the serpent deceived the woman and Revelation 12:9 tells us who the serpent is. There was no secret as to who Satan was; this exposure occurred in the beginning of the Bible right to the end. If we only see color/race, remember God sees sin. If we say them/they, God says my creation. When we separate and treat others unfairly, God sees disobedience.
It is important for us to ask God to remove the blinders and help us see the truth as He sees it. As the scripture says in 1 Chronicles 7:14 if we (the people of God) really humble ourselves and pray, that is when we will see change. However, in the world today, it seems we are busy with the many distractions portrayed in the media and constantly blaming God and asking why. Truth be told: We are blinded. We have been robbed. We are uprooted from true love. We lose and become defeated. We push against the very nature of who we are and through it all we cease to resist the adversary. We would rather give in, fold, bend, submit and fall deep into sin before we turn from our wicked ways. We use every excuse as to why we cannot do what is right, which is to love one another.
Now as I end, read this truth: if the people which are called by God would just humble themselves and pray and seek God, and turn from our wicked ways, then and only then will God hear from heaven and heal this land we call our home.
Prayer: Lord open our eyes to see what you see and do what you sent us here to do: cast out devils in Jesus name, trample over serpents, baptize in the name of the father, son, and holy ghost, and make disciples. This power is given to everyone one that believes, no color stated.
