You could say we have just come through
the week which Hell has wrought. It began on Monday with bombings in Boston and moved south to West, Texas as the fire at a fertilizer plant
exploded into destruction and devastation and disrupted the lives of an entire
town. In time both Boston
and West will come to a better day yet some lives have been touched forever by
the evil of the moment. Even those of us whose families were not been
personally affected will never forget the images on the screen as we looked in
horror and even anger at what we saw.
These things will take time to digest and
we can be assured in both events more and more information will be released or
leaked for us to assess according to our own spiritual tenets and political
ideology. Last week, as I wrote how we must never allow fear to dominate our
thinking I had no idea of what was about to befall us as a people and, as I
watched and listened throughout the week, I knew the wisdom those words was not
mine, but the Lord’s who had used me to minister to any and all who had read
them.
The question which continues to roll
through my own mind is whether Boston or West could have been prevented; if so
by who and what will be done to make sure something similar does not occur
again? A bigger question is can we trust the information we receive or will
there be a cover up to protect some from their just due? Without delving into
to conspiracy theories which usually result in nothing more than supposition I
will admit to having little trust of anything I hear in the media. They have
earned my skepticism through their lack of reporting on items which affect
their own political agenda. Therefore, where does someone like me go for
answers? The places are fewer than in the past and, as some try to silence them,
they must speak louder as they call to those who are seeking answers.
I know many, like me, were praying for the
people of both places and also that the bombers would be found and brought to
justice. However, my prayer did not stop there because for a very long time I
have prayed the truth of every situation would be exposed. Jesus said when we
know the truth it will set us free and though many times the truth is hard to
bear it also frees us to take action. We know Satan is a liar and the world in
which he has dominance is no better; therefore, the only way the truth will be
known is to use the power given to us as Christians to defeat the enemy on his
home turf, which is not in the world but in the supernatural realm. Prayer is one
means God gave us to conquer but He has also given us His Word, His Blood and His
Name to bring the truth to the light.
However, the Lord has not left us with
these alone I remind everyone of what King David said in Psalm 144:1 “Blessed be the Lord my
strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:”
Therefore,
let us rejoice and give thanks for the failure of the gun control bill to pass
the Senate during this past week. Satan may have had a field day but the Lord
spoke loud and clear through the bill’s defeat. Let’s continue to pray, keep
the faith and stand strong. We WILL win. Don’t believe me, read the back of the
Book.
