What the world is going on in our country today is the question that should be on everyone’s mind. We can’t turn on the news without crime, violence, disease, war, bickering, division, hate, injustices, sickness and oppression being displayed everywhere. Are you scratching your head, wondering, “ Where are you God”, as I am?

The spread of virus’, some intentional, the bacteria and sickness being put in the foods we eat everyday, what do we do? It’s enough to make you want to go and close yourself in a closet to seek a place of safety. I asked myself for most of the day, If we are supposed to lay hands on the sick and they recover, why can’t we do it? Why are our loved ones dying right in front of our eyes? Why are the hospitals full of sick people? Why is St. Jude full of children dying of Cancer? Why, why, why?

This last U.S. governmental term has been nothing but a bunch of fighting with one another who all suppose to be making our place of abode a better place to live. The last time I saw and read, “A house divided against itself, cannot stand, and every kingdom divided against itself, will be ruined.” Again, what’s going on and what are we supposed to be doing to make it better?

Well, in 2 Chronicles 7:14 it reads, “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”.  Excuse me, did He say His people; isn’t that us, He is ours and we are His? So we need to (1) humble ourselves, (2) pray, (3) seek His face, and (4) turn from our wicked ways. Oh, now I see. Are we to expect anything other than what we’re getting if our leaders cannot come together and get along for the sake of mankind? If our land, country is not getting better, (being healed) what does that mean? The four above mentioned things cannot be happening because if it was, He said He would hear us from the headquarters, pardon our rebellion and remedy our domain. Now what?

All I can say is as it is written, “ And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force”. Everything going on in our society today is a direct attack on the Kingdom of God. An assault on His ways, His principles, His laws, His image, another straight up rebellion against Him. Our leaders are supposed to be working on behalf of the people — us. If they don’t pay taxes, why jail or garnish wages of the people? If the leaders are committing adultery, lying and breaking laws, what of the citizens?

It is good and pleasant for mankind to live in unity, but whatever our leaders do and model will spread to the citizens. What do we do when those contending for election to lead us and make this place we call home a better place, have morals and beliefs that are contrary to those of our King?

We better have an answer, the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it and because the response will not be found in this world. We better violently fight our way into the World that we’re of and take on it’s mindset, likeness, and image. Our hearts need to be circumcised of everything opposing our Kingdom. We cannot serve two masters. We must choose. Our life and realm will depend on it!
