“When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalms 11:3

I am a Felon! A willful, arrogant, non-conforming rule breaker who was being threatened with forceful compliance (or else)! When I tried to bring reality to bear, “Um…that’s not really a law or rule you have the power to enforce,” the self appointed judge continued, only louder, with disdain and disrespect. Standing my ground, I ventured onward!

Society is being shaken loose with the erosion of foundational truth. A SMALL minority of our population has become radicalized… burning, looting and destroying the very foundations of our Country. With no power to legally establish law, they use the power of ‘perception’ to control the masses. If ‘they’ determine something is bad and against their agenda, society is demanded to adopt their standards. To NOT heed is to be labeled and ridiculed.

Obviously, the concept is not new. David wrote Psalm 11 while fleeing for his life in the wake of Saul’s flaming disregard for God’s way of doing things. When what was right was called wrong, and vice versa, and when faced with a hostile takeover, David asked, ‘what do I do NOW God? Because heading for the hills just seems ridiculous!”

I find it very easy to feel isolated and alone. When the feeling of feeling sorry for myself begins to crowd in, the ‘Facts’ are easily distorted and untruth can begin to look reasonable! It is there that the Holy Spirit cries out, “STOP, LOOK and LISTEN!” “AHHHHH There He is!” I am reminded. GOD sees EVERYTHING. He KNOWS it all too! And though David didn’t have the whole picture in the Old Testament…WE do today!

God’s patience and grace are buying time for the REAL felons to HEAR, REPENT and TURN from their rebellion. While I may think God’s patience sometimes goes a little too far, it is HIS determination to do so. MY response to evil is to be the messenger and representative of HIS Word so God’s enemies can at least have something to HEAR!

Please Pray for our Country and petition God for an assignment. As our church folks stand out on ‘The Corner’ with the Gospel, may His Spirit invade the hearts of those who don’t know Him. Please consider joining us! What God calls for is more Spirit-led felons for HIS cause!
