A White Mother’s Attempt to Find Unity Amidst a Great Divide

When George Floyd called out for his mama 😢😠😠😢😢

Before I begin this article, I ask the Lord to search me and know me and reveal anything displeasing to Him in my heart; that my motive remain pure.  I pray that He help me stay humble as He removes any and all pride.  I pray for the words; for His words; that He would reveal His heart and create unity through those words.  I, hereby, surrender my will, my words, my heart, my mind, my everything to Him.

As you read this, I pray the same over you.  I ask that you read with an open heart and a willing spirit, ready to receive whatever it is that God may wish to do in you through this article.

When this type of injustice happens, I feel helpless and hopeless, and I know many feel the same.  Obviously what we’ve been doing thus far in America or in the church hasn’t been working.  This blog is my attempt to do something different in hopes of bringing about some sort of unity amidst this great divide.  My heart is to try to understand one side while at the same time bring about understanding of the other side.  My hope is to maybe deflect some hostility and hatred, and reveal a common enemy of ALL.  I wish to take a look at the times we live in, to better prepare God’s children to be ready for trials still yet to come.  Ultimately, I seek to break the power of division that keeps creeping up in the church and in the world.

I will start by telling you what I, a white woman, see in this instance.  Next I will acknowledge and empathize with what I believe the black community sees.  I will tell you of some of my experiences with similar kinds of injustices.  I will offer up other examples of police brutality, along with possible suggestions for change within the police force.  I will ask a question about racism and discuss my own personal experiences on the topic.  I will try to touch on all perspectives regarding these issues, as I understand them.  Then I will offer up spiritual suggestions for what I believe the church’s response should be.

What I see…

I see a cop who completely ignored and disregarded the pleas of a dying man. A man that he is quite literally killing with his knee resting heavily on his neck and suffocating him. A man who seemed to be otherwise fully cooperative. I don’t understand why this was necessary. Over ten minutes restrained like this!! Like why? Why? WHY???  How can people’s hearts be so hardened to disregard human life? To be without empathy or compassion?  And why is the cop looking into the camera like that, knowing he’s being recorded?  That’s suspicious to me.  Who’s filming anyway?  And why didn’t the other cops pay attention to George’s pleas and/or push Officer Chauvin off.   Why didn’t anyone attempt to remove the officer’s knee from his neck?  I don’t understand any of it.  And, yes, it angers me greatly and makes me weep, especially upon hearing him cry out for his mom. 😤😢😢

These were my initial thoughts and emotions.

My next response was one of anxiety rising up in the pit of my stomach as I foresaw exactly where this was about to go.  The backlash.  The retaliation.  The angry memes and posts.  The rioting and looting.  Etc.  Here we go… Racial tension rears its ugly head once again.

At this point, in past racial uprisings, my subconscious would admittedly go into defense mode.  Sadly, this would often only end up making me appear apathetic, which would in turn alienate me from dear friends.  Therefore, I began to simply try avoiding social media altogether during these times.  However, as stated in the first paragraph, this blog is my feeble attempt to try something different.  The back and forth “flesh” responses from all sides are simply not working.  Attaching scripture and religious spins in order to justify either side is not working.  In fact, the more each side screams to be heard, the worse things seem to get for everyone.  In the process, I think it also hurts the heart of God as His children fall deeper into the trap of greater division.

What I believe the black community sees…

The black community instantly sees racism.  A white cop in a position of authority heavily resting his knee on a black man’s neck and killing him while the other white cops do nothing.  Of course it’s because of racism!  No ifs, ands, or buts about it.  Furthermore, since this heinous act was very clearly racist, all other kinds of emotions automatically rise up.  Fear for sons, husbands, fathers, and friends being deliberately targeted because of the color of their skin.  Anger towards all white people who can’t seem to see what is so clearly obvious.  Memories of their own personal racial mistreatment come to the forefront of their minds.  Though many try to subdue the hatred that’s now rising up in their spirits, the anguish they feel is exhausting and tiresome.  Anxiety strikes the pits of their stomachs as they have to drive out to the country for work, or maybe even through the city at night.  Unfortunately, the residue of slavery and the evils that took place during the Civil Rights era are constantly lingering in their minds.  Could America go back to that?

Though I will never know what it’s like to be black, I have dealt with my own fair share of discrimination, genderism and racism.  I have also heard and listened to horror stories from various friends throughout my life.  Even still, I don’t pretend to fully understand all their troubles in America and abroad.

My personal experience with cops…

I have experienced god-complex, power-tripping police unfairness and injustice in many instances.  So please understand, this issue angers me more than you may know. One of the most difficult instances was when cops strategically set up my teenage son for a drug bust; conspired with the bail bondsman to try to arrest him before bond was posted in order to get higher “commission”; forced him to speak to them without a lawyer; refused to allow me to see him for hours;  then threatened that the only way for him to avoid severe charges was to inform on his friends, which is how they had set him up in the first place by using his best friend to entrap him; when my son refused to snitch and set up his friends, he was charged to the fullest extent with added charges. Gratefully, my son lived through that dark time.

George Floyd did not.

When I moved to Texas, I nervously left my other son in St. Louis to finish out school and start his internship.  My primary angst in leaving him was due to a sociopathic cop that I knew lived around the corner from my son.  Fearful imaginations of my son having some sort of interaction with that cop plagued me.  The ‘what-ifs’ forcefully invaded my mind regularly.  So much so, that during that first year, I made my 20-year old son call or text me every night to let me know he had arrived safely at home.

Other examples of police brutality…

I’ve also seen various videos over the years of outrageous police misconduct, brutality, and outright murder…of all races. True that many involved white on black police brutality, but there were also many that were white on white, black on white and black on black. YouTube is filled with dozens of such videos. Off the cuff, though, there are a few that stick out in my mind…

1. James Reiner: A man was racing to get his pregnant wife to the hospital. He was pulled over and brutally thrown to the ground and arrested while the wife suffered with contractions and confusion. The ambulance had to come get her while her husband went to jail. I was outraged because back in the day, the cop would’ve offered to escort them to the hospital.There are actually quite a few of these instances.
2. Daniel Shaver: A drunk man in a hotel was confused by the police officer’s inconsistent instructions but very clearly tried to comply.  Nonetheless, he was shot to death while on his knees begging for his life.  Oooh, this one infuriated me more than any other.
3. Tony Timpa: This instance is almost identical to what happened to George Floyd.  The officers are joking around and even teased, “I hope I didn’t kill him,” as the ambulance drove him away.  Charges were dismissed against the officers and they were back to work the following day.

All three of these men were white.

I share these examples to show that these types of police brutality and injustices happen to all races.  Regardless of race, they are all unjust and most definitely should not be ignored.  I share these other injustices to show how they often go unnoticed because they simply don’t fit the divisive narrative that a very real enemy wishes to create.  More importantly, for the purpose of this blog, I share these examples to hopefully ease my black brothers and sisters pain by showing them they are not alone.

Possible suggestions to fix the broken police system…

I’ve often considered what can be done to prevent these types of abuses.

• First, I think psychological testing on cops should be done regularly. It’s unreasonable to think a cop is unaffected emotionally or mentally by constantly witnessing the worst of the worst kinds of atrocities on a daily basis.
• Another thing that might be worth taking a closer look at is why or when policemen became so seemingly trigger-happy with their guns. Have the rules changed since I was a young girl?  I always thought cops weren’t supposed to shoot except to protect themselves or someone else.  Is that not still the case?
• Perhaps creating more advanced shooting tests.  You know, like the ones where boards shaped like innocent women or children pop up.  Have cops take other regular tests with various scenarios like these cases and the proper way to handle them.
• Cops need to stand up to one another and/or speak up when they see a fellow cop doing something wrong.
• Any trace of racism detected must be dealt with immediately.

Even still, in our anger over these injustices, we need to try to remember that the majority of cops are not like this. Most cops serve and protect their communities well and uprightly.  They help change tires for broken down vehicles.  They protect women and children from abuse.  They guide traffic in the rain.  They investigate rapes and murders.  Anytime they are called and show up to help, people are rarely ever happy to see them.  They put their lives on the line everyday.

As helpless and hopeless that we may feel whenever something like this happens, I imagine there’s also a pit of anxiety that wells up in their stomach; knowing that one cop’s bad actions immediately just painted a target on their back because of their profession.  They will automatically be lumped in with the bad cop.  Their families also fear for their loved one’s lives, even more than normal, wondering if this may be the last time they will see them.

Unfortunately, since we live in a fallen world, the fact of the matter is that men’s hearts are becoming hardened in every area.  And the Bible prophesies that it will get worse.  Only God can change the heart of man (Psalm 51:10; Ezekiel 36:26).  Therefore, first and foremost, the greatest tool we have to effectively make a difference is prayer, prayer and more prayer.

This brings me to the question…

The question I have is one that many may not like…

Are we completely certain this senseless murder was due to racism?  Other than the cop being white and the victim black, I haven’t seen any evidence that this cruelty was because of racism.  I do understand how minority groups who have been unfairly treated in the past might be quick to instantly attach it to racism, but I implore you to seek truth, logic and reason.  Understandably, emotions can run high when we see this type of thing, but emotions can be unreliable and often only produce more destructive emotions.

Could it be possible that this was simply the wicked actions of a power-driven cop that our dark world has produced? (Mind you, a cop that many of you think should be the only ones to have guns… but that’s a topic for another day). So far in this particular instance, I simply haven’t yet seen evidence of racism. Perhaps I’m missing something?  If so, I do apologize.  But I did notice that the other black man was not treated like this. Therefore, logic would suggest that if racism was the driving force, then he would’ve also been treated similarly.

Please recognize any anger that may be rising up in your spirit towards me right now, in this instant, for merely asking the question.  Be aware that this might be the enemy stirring up accusations and lies.  Those who know me know I’m not racist.  I am, however, a person who seeks truth above anything else; especially during these end times where the Bible says truth will be difficult to discern, and the lie will be widely distributed and accepted. (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11)

Asking the question does not deny racism exists; nor does it definitively declare that this cop wasn’t motivated by racism. It’s just that as of right now there doesn’t seem to be anything to suggest racism as the cause.

Whenever we make everything about racism, it diminishes very real acts of racism. When people call everything racist… including alternate opinions, disagreements, silence, etc… they only further contribute to the racial divide.

Unfortunately, according to various memes and statuses I’ve seen on social media, the fact that I’m even asking the question somehow now makes me a racist. The fact that I haven’t yet seen evidence of racism somehow makes me a racist.  If I say nothing at all, I’m racist.  At the same time, anything I may try to say can be misconstrued as racist. These are the conflicting posts I’ve been seeing.  I even recently saw a video that suggested talking about a vacation after a three-month quarantine displays uncaring white privilege.  The definition of racism seems to be changing on a daily basis, with memes and posts beginning something like, “The new racism is…”

Can we please try to see that these types of posts help promote the enemy’s narrative to further cause hatred and division?  These types of posts that take the evils of a few wicked people, and attach and assign blame to an entire race or group of people is, in fact, the very definition of racism.

Another series of questions to ponder… How many of you knew about any of the police brutality examples I shared above?  Why do you think they didn’t explode throughout the media and social media?  Why didn’t they produce as much outrage?  If you haven’t yet watched them, please pause here for a minute to go watch them.  They’re just as outrageous as George Floyd’s senseless death.

Exposing the lying spirits of the enemy is not racist, but rather something that every Christian should seek to do.  This is what I will attempt to do in the next section.

Please bear with me for a short while longer…

Divide and Conquer…

This is where we move into something that makes me angrier than the above mentioned injustices…

Helplessly watching the great divide in America becoming seemingly greater, as the enemy twists truth to hide what he’s up to.  Being a watchman and trying to warn God’s people of the Trojan horse entering the gates, but the vast appeal of that horse holds their gaze, as they then get angry at the watchman.

So here is where I fear I might lose some of my black brothers and sisters.  Please don’t quickly dismiss what I believe to be the real enemy… First, the secular enemy, then the spiritual enemy.  Please try for the next few minutes to consider the possibility of what I’m about to expose might very well be truth.  And if it is true, please see that we all have a bigger problem than racism, as we are ALL on the cusp of becoming slaves.

Consistently, like clockwork for the last few years, a very real enemy has intentionally used and exploited very real tragedies like these to purposely cause racial tension and division. I fully believe there are two main ‘powers’ that have the same ultimate goals in mind: to divide America and to divide God’s children.  These powers are…

1. Secular powers-that-be who control financial institutions, media, government, etc., and
2. Satan, their leader and greater enemy to us all, but mostly to God’s children who he hates with vengeance

Let’s consider for a moment these secular powers-that-be. They purposefully use (and sometimes even create) tragedies like these to instill fear, anger and hate in order to divert attention and cause division.  They own the media, social media, google, etc.; and, are therefore, fully capable of manipulating the masses effectively.  Since they also control most of Hollywood, they are more than equipped to stage, produce and direct real life narratives of chaos and division.

Sidenote… I just can’t get the way that cop kept looking at the camera out of my mind. Did that seem off to anyone else?

‘Divide and conquer’ is a very strategic and effective wartime motto that is not only used by the military. The powers-that-be also know how to effectively manipulate and enact this motto that distracts people from seeing truth and from seeing the real enemy (them).  This strategy has been proven successful with many nations before America and is now being wielded against us.

Pitting races against one another and detailing how to manipulate people to divide a country using media and false flags is found in Hitler’s playbook (Mein Kampf). This ingenious despotic plan caused German friends, neighbors and even family members to effectively ignore truth while turning against one another. And because of these distractions (hey, look over here at this hand), many good Germans were unable to believe or see the evils that their wicked government had inflicted on an entire race right under their noses (what the other hand is doing).

Believe it or not, there are people currently in power in today’s world who actually studied under Hitler, who hate America and everything she stands for, and who know how to thoroughly utilize the lessons learned from past dictatorships onto American society.

Now suppose, for just a moment, that you are a part of a powerful group of villains that has devised an evil plan to rule, control and depopulate the world.  But there’s one country who is a major thorn in your side and constantly interrupts your evil plan from moving forward with all their praying and freedom and such.  For a little while, you thought you had them along with the rest of the world as you instilled fear in them.  Practically overnight, this fear caused them to turn on neighbors and friends; and to willingly give up every freedom afforded them in their Constitution.  Of course you offer protection with a solution to the fear you helped instill in them… a mandatory vaccination chip that prevents you from buying or selling and tracks everyone’s whereabouts. (Revelation 13:16-18).

But, wait a minute… the people are uniting and waking up to this evil scheme.  They’re asking questions and seeking answers.  Those darn Bible prophecies!  The people are now starting to unite against you.  Uh-oh!  They’re on to you.  What do you do now?

You must find or create a huge distraction to divide them so that you can then position yourself back into the secret place of enforcing your plan.  Create chaos and confusion.  Call for reinforcements and utilize all your resources to figure out how to make this happen.  What’s the fastest way to accomplish this division?  What works every single time?

This is not fiction, folks!

And if this is true, then everyone should be as angry as I am at being played and toyed with like this.  With all the lives lost.  With all businesses destroyed (mostly black-owned businesses, btw).  With each race at each other’s throats.  If what I say is true, we should all be united in anger at the real enemy.  We should be watching and praying, as Jesus commanded, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

The greater enemy…

More than the anger of seeing the strategic division of my country is the anger of witnessing the division of my brothers and sisters in Christ.

This brings me to the subject of an even greater unseen enemy, who goes by name of Satan, Lucifer, Angel of Light, Prince of Darkness, Beelzebub (Ruler of Demons), Son of Perdition, Father of Lies, Accuser, Destroyer, Ruler of this World, Deceiver, etc.

One of his primary jobs is to deceive, whisper lies and accusations in our ears, then stir up anger and hatred against one another…  Using fear! Oh how he thrives on fear! And one of the greatest tools he uses to feed and distribute that fear is social media.  Keep in mind that our fear gives him permission to move the same way that our faith gives God permission to move.

As Beelzebub (the Ruler of Demons), he concocts a plan and sends out his fallen angels (demons).  Picture this… These demons with their little lying tongues and hands reaching out of our televisions and phones, piercing our minds and infecting our hearts with his thoughts.  It’s as though these demons first beckon us onto social media.  Then as we scroll through our news feed, anger builds.  Our spirit is disrupted and disturbed.

Those demons continue stirring the pot and pandering to our emotions.  Poking. Whispering.  We don’t realize what’s happening.  Then we start posting and sharing memes that match our disposition.  We start rejecting truth and logic as we set out to prove the point we’ve been convinced is absolute truth.  On cue, in steps the Accuser.  We find ourselves getting angry with those who post opposing views.  Everything has now become offensive.  People that we loved and were on the same page with last week have now become people we hate and distrust this week.

Then steps in the Angel of Light, whose voice is disguised to make us think it’s the Lord’s.  He uses scripture, as he did with Jesus, to justify our righteous indignation, to justify the retaliation and ensuing sin that follows.  The demons put more things in front of us to prove we’re right.  We continue to scroll, share, post, and comment.

The demons rejoice as we continue entering into agreement/covenant with them.  We get lots of likes, and dopamine is released in our brain, causing us to crave more.  We also get a few dislikes and even some hateful comments.  The demons use these to stir up and further fuel anger inside of us.

What we don’t realize is that these demons are doing the exact same thing to the other side.

The demons whisper things that appeal to flesh and emotion, in which everyone is now blindly and eagerly following after.  Everyone is defensive. Everyone is divided. Hatred is spreading.  Can you hear their gleeful jeers and hissing cackles of the fallen angels?

Meanwhile, the Holy Spirit’s voice has become so faint as he attempts to speak love, peace and unity.  He beckons us to put the phone down; to open our Bibles; to come spend time with Him.  He whispers soft loving convictions. He is ignored.

Please don’t allow yourself to fall for the devil’s wicked schemes.  Please examine your spirit-man to see if you are being played like a fiddle…the devil’s fiddle.  I must admit that there have been plenty of times I’ve fallen victim to his lies as I’ve allowed him to stir up all kinds of angry thoughts and negative emotions in me based off fear and pride.  Why do you think I was able to describe it so well?

It is so easy to fall into that trap… To reach for your phone first thing in the morning before reaching for your Bible.  Next thing you know, you’ve wasted your day away.  That loud obnoxious voice of the enemy becomes the predominant one as your soul comes into agreement with it.  This is the same enemy who also sets up circumstances to match the lies he’s whispering.

Sometimes it is so very difficult to seek God in the height and midst of all that commotion and chaos raging inside of you.  Oh sure, many of us can conjure up scripture to support and justify our reactions.  But are we really listening for His voice?  A good way to examine yourself is to ask these five primary questions…

1. Have I humbly talked to God yet today? Have I sought His Truth on the matter?
2. How long have I been on social media and/or my phone?  (Hint: Whatever you spend the most time with is what your spirit is feeding on)
3. How many posts have I posted today that are related to the same topic?
4. Am I being loving in my responses to friends and family?  What do my stories and statuses look like?  Are they snarky and hateful?  Are they accusatory?
5. Are my posts fruitful and productive?  Are they Kingdom-minded?  What do I hope to gain by what I just posted?

Go on… Take a minute to go look at your social media news feed… Answer the questions above.

As Christians, we are to follow Christ’s example.  Remember that when He walked the earth, there were all sorts of injustices going on as well.  Until His crucifixion, His own disciples continued to expect Him to overthrow the unjust Roman government and set up His Kingdom here on earth.  That is also why a multitude of people who had previously witnessed his many miracles now adamantly demanded His death over Barabbas. Have you ever wondered why they were so quick to turn on Him?

One reason is that Barabbas was an insurrectionist who was at least willing to murder and steal from those unjust Romans.  Barabbas appealed to their flesh.  Jesus did not, as He lovingly gave up His life for all mankind.  This man’s death was the most unjust and undeserved death that has ever happened in history.  Are we doing the same as those people who shouted for his death?  Are we choosing Barabbas over Jesus in order to get our justice?  Read more by visiting the blog titled Choosing Barabbas.

Please continue to hear me out…

What is the enemy up to…

This very real enemy hates you and he hates me.  All hate comes from him… even the littlest, tiniest bit of hate.  With that knowledge, let’s try to see what he may be up to in the spirit realm.  For we know that everything that happens in the spirit realm manifests itself in the secular.

For starters, it is no small coincidence that all this division took place within the last ten days.  You might ask what is so significant about these last ten days?  Well these are the days between Jesus’s Ascension and Pentecost.  Biblically, it was during this time that Jesus told his followers to go wait for the promised Holy Spirit.  The disciples obeyed as they united in prayer for ten days.

This is exactly what His church should’ve been doing these past ten days as well.  Is it starting to make sense why the devil might want to try and disrupt that?  Who knows what we may have missed out on because we’ve been allowing the enemy to sew discord instead.

Something else that he might be up to… This divisive narrative of the enemy seems to come around heavily during an election year, but even more so when people (of all races) are starting to awaken in unity to the real evil mastermind and ploy. The divisive narrative provokes minorities to hate (or doubt) all white people and all cops. Sometimes it even causes looting of businesses (often black-owned small businesses that suffer the most), riots in the middle of streets, and more death to people who had absolutely nothing to do with the act in question.

This divisive narrative also provokes three different reactions in white people, who either

1. Feel guilty and/or apologize for being white
2. Completely disregard and/or make light of real racism altogether, automatically thinking it is yet another false flag designed to incite a race war
3. Confusion about what they’re supposed to do

This divisive narrative is completely ineffective in solving the real heart problem of racism, but super effective in creating a bigger one of division. The devil rejoices as he gains victory.  Again, please don’t fall for it!  Recognize the ploys of the enemy and refuse to be a part of it.

It is true that speaking up for injustice is godly, but so is recognizing what that injustice actually is and exposing the lies of the great enemy, the prince of this world.  It is also true that there are many other outrageous injustices that have been ignored and continue to go unnoticed.  Of course, these issues don’t divide a nation as quickly or as fiercely…

• There is little outrage against abortion, the most racist organization in America created and designed for the sole purpose of depopulating the ‘less desirable races’.  Don’t believe me?  Look it up.  Margaret Sanger, who created Planned Parenthood was a racist eugenicist who made regular statements like, “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”  Guess what else… Bill Gates, Sr served on the board of this racist organization for years.  Click here for more information about the Gates family and their long history of eugenics.  Of course, they’ve convinced the world that those of us who do speak up on this issue are crazy zealots.
• There is little outrage against the many ridiculous unjust arrests that took place during covid in this ‘free’ country… including the arrest a pastor. Unbelievably, many Christians actually applauded his arrest. Wait! What?!  All of our freedoms were quite literally taken away like a thief in the night, with much compliance and little outrage. Those of us who spoke up about that were labeled unloving and uncaring of the elderly.  In fact, has anyone noticed how most of the covid plandemic has been swept under the rug and seemingly forgotten about? Is the timing not suspicious of three racial incidents (one of which happened in February) were brought to our attention right after a video revealing covid truth that had gone viral?  A video that they relentlessly tried to censor by removing it over and over again!
• There is little outrage about the horrific Christian persecution happening throughout the world. Decapitations. Starvations. Disowned by family. Property taken. Unjust imprisonments. Etc. Etc. Our brothers and sisters in the Mideast, in Korea, in China, etc., cry out. Do we cry with them? Where is the outrage? Where are the posts? These are your brothers and sisters!! Though they aren’t necessarily being persecuted for their race, they are persecuted for believing in a man who was most unjustly crucified on a cross. The same man that you and I believe in.  This persecution is coming soon to America…sooner than you may think.  It is a mistake to think we will all be raptured before persecution comes to America.  Folks, it’s on our doorstep.
• Mandatory vaccination chips that are already in the works.  Again, notice how that topic has gone off the radar lately?  More than ever before, this is what should be on ALL believers radar.  They should ALL be as passionate about this very real and plausible threat as they are about racism and other issues.  They should be declaring what Jesus warned of and declared often, “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”  Even more so now that the Kingdom of Heaven is closer than ever before.

Following along with the media narrative of distraction and division that is quite literally run and controlled by the prince of this world is not holy or righteous at all, but the opposite!! We must be intentional to seek God regarding the truth of each of these instances. If there is racism, then of course, cry out against the injustice. And I will cry out alongside you.  But that cry shouldn’t be louder than the heart cry of the Holy Spirit.

All I ask is that you try not to be so quick to automatically jump on the bandwagon of the super strategic and divisive narrative of the enemy. Examine which spirit(s) is whispering in your ear and guiding you. The fact that some of these topics gain so much traction when there’s often little evidence to support them, and that they so quickly stir up anger and hatred tells me there are spirits attached.  Don’t give those spirits even more power than they already have.

As Christians, our hearts should seek His truth and be about His Kingdom first and foremost. Jesus is coming soon! There is very obvious evidence to support that!

• No other time in world history have all the prophecies and revelations lined up in accord.
• No other time has there been a plausible ‘mark of the beast’ than now with the mandatory vaccinations in progress. (Revelation 13)
• No other time has all knowledge been at our fingerprints.
• No other time has the gospel been able to reach the furthermost parts of the earth.
• No other time have the prophecies surrounding Israel and the Messianic feast fulfillments and temple prophecies been as prevalent as they are now.

Jesus told us to watch and pray on those things. Those things are upon us, and the beast has been released to cause division and hatred. The very elect may be deceived… especially if they are listening to and playing by the enemy’s rules.  We must be alert and aware of the devil’s schemes so that we can pray and do warfare accordingly.

Jesus is coming soon and very soon. Let that be your focus and passion. People, who don’t know Him, are dying all around you, and hell is filling its gates. Let that be your outrage. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Do not become the enemy’s victim or pawn!

Remember that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against spiritual principalities. Therefore, the only way to have victory in any fight, racism or otherwise, is to

1. Recognize the real enemy. Be cautious of Trojan horses
2. Put on your spiritual armor every day (Ephesians 6:11-18)
3. Remember that 98% of the fight must be done first in the spirit realm through prayer and truth
4. Remain united with your brothers and sisters in love.

Please understand that I’m not trying to diminish a very real pain and fear that my brothers and sisters are experiencing.  Rather, I’m attempting to show both views in order to hopefully bring about reconciliation.  I’m attempting to get all believers to fully awaken to the times we live in, where men’s hearts are failing them. I’m attempting to give everyone something to consider and go to God in prayer with to see if what I say might be true.  If so, then you might find yourself angry with a holy anger for a completely different reason than before.

Let’s love one another. Let’s forgive one another. Let’s refuse to be a part of false accusations and hatred. Let’s all examine our own hearts to see if there are any preconceived notions about another race.  Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any racism or hatred of another person or group of people.  Let’s consider ways that the enemy of our souls might be lying to us regarding current events.

To all my black African-American brothers and sisters… I love you so very much. You have ministered to me.  You have been among my closest friends.  You have welcomed me.  You helped me buy my first car.  You have quickly forgiven me when I’ve angered or offended you.  You have received my teachings with joy and praise.  You have prayed and prophesied over me.  In many ways, you have been the least judgmental and self-righteous within the church.  God has used you to bring my heart and focus back to Him multiple times.  You have lovingly rebuked me when I’ve sinned.  You have understood me.  You have cried with me.  You have laughed with me.  You have blessed me immensely.  You have played such an important part of my entire life throughout the many stages of my life.  I love you!
