In every generation God’s people have forgotten how merciful and loving He had been to them, unfortunately; it caused Him to withdraw His protection and His children to reap the consequences of their choices. When mankind was give the gift of choice, they became responsible for their own fate; those choices dictating their journey. History has taught us what often happens when the few gain control of the many; usually the rich oppress the poor, the strong trample on the weak, and those who have the power wield it without restraint or consideration for the welfare of others.

Remember the Egyptian 400 year enslavement of Israel and the Babylonian 70 year enslavement, remember from 1933 to 1945 millions of Jewish people perished in Germany through the persecution of Hitler, and remember the many enslaved Africans lost in the middle passage crossing the Atlantic ocean on slave ships. Let us not forget the disposition of the indigenous people, their displacement and marginalization when removed from their ancestral lands. Remember the many wars started by the aggression of one nation against another nation considered to be weaker.

What will stop this type of madness? When is enough, enough? Why do the majority stand by silently as the few destroy what is good for the many? To allow the power seekers to gain control knowing power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It is time to remember the lessons we learned from the past and reject those willing to make the past our future, to stand up for truth and justice for all; to eradicate hate. Evil will only thrive when the good stand silent afraid to speak. We must be willing to reflect the love of our Creator during the darkness usurping our world through agents of evil.

We must remember Jesus is the only light that can penetrate the darkness. As Christ followers we have not been given the spirit of fear, but He has given us the spirit of power, love , and a sound mind. 2tim1:7. It is time to remember the enemy comes but to steal, kill and destroy, but; through Jesus we can over come evil with good. It is time to remember we are in a battle for our lives, our voices must unite as one voice for change for the good of all humanity. We are called to stand against injustice wherever it is found, to shine the light of God’s love on the sinner while condemning the sin.

It is time to remember we were all created in the image of a loving Creator and of one breath and blood. We have all been given the opportunity to be in right standing with the law of God. We just have to walk away from the evil of this world and surrender our hearts to the unconditional love of God through Jesus the Christ. Finally remember, He is coming back; not as a helpless babe but as a conquering king and His reward will be with Him to give to each man what he deserves. History has proven the Word of God is true, He has said vengeance is mine; I will repay. Seek His face while He can be found, repent of your sins while forgiveness and grace are available.

My revelation as I sit by the pool of grace.
