“Oh righteousness and truth of God that should be within us, where are you?” At a loss for words for the actions of my fellow human beings. What are we perpetrating when we claim to be children of God when with all this hate towards one another and believing in man, rather than trusting and having faith in our God. History has proven that whenever humanity strays away from our Heavenly Father we encounter our own demise, for the Bible tells us so. I picture it like God holding onto us like a parent while crossing a busy road, and like a child wanting our own way, deliberately deciding to wiggle out of His grip and end up being hit by a vehicle. “Who’s then responsible? God, or we ourselves?” This is how I see our world today. We’re out of control with this free will business, free to lie, hate, discriminate, to kill, to threaten, treat each other with cruelty… Some of us are too immature for free will. We have to be grateful our God is loving, caring, forgiving, merciful, compassionate…God for the things we do especially towards one another and all His creations.

“Forgive us Father for we all have sinned and came short of your glory.” We acknowledge sin has been a conflict we’ve been battling within us throughout the ages as written in scriptures. The battle was no longer ours, it became Jesus for our sake and through Him and in Him we got the victory. But yet, once again humanity has gone astray from the path of righteousness and like in the days of Noah, Genesis 5:29, and Sodom and Gomorrah, Genesis 19:24…the lawlessness is so outrageous and out of control that it’s blinding the eyes and the minds even of His chosen. Matthew 24: 23-24 “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

It all began with COVID-19 spreading across the entire world. Then, and only then, I believe the division began, sheep from the goats. I remembered the desperation for a vaccine, a cure, for so many lives were being taking by this pandemic and it had no discrimination of persons, regardless of religion, country, nation, government…the wave of it hit us all on plant earth. The division began because of its impact on every aspect of our lives as we had known it. The closing down of everything, the isolation we’ve all experienced and none contact with others as we’ve known and experienced took us into a deep dive in our mental and physical well being as it was out of our normality. This pandemic broke some of us to the point it brought out demons. But I also recognized angels guarded the heart and minds of those who remained strong and faithful because we believed the Lord would see us through, going deeper in faith rather than losing it. This pandemic has drawn out the best in some of us and if we were struggling from the get go the worst. Till now, it hasn’t stopped, because so many people whom had lost sight, is now ever so blinded, sad to say.

Just take a look at what’s going on in our world today, after the pandemic, if you’re somehow confused. Life may not have been perfect, but we weren’t as fearful of living, much less of World War III as we are today. It’s like evil has taken our vulnerability and fears of the apocalypse, armageddon as written in the book of Revelation being revealed in the pandemic and escalated it to where we are right now with the war in Ukraine with Russia, Jerusalem and Gaza, the threats and fears of democracy being eliminated by dictatorships creeping into good countries and nations as such; even to civil unrest within such countries and nations, especially the United States of America the Nation I believe was chosen by God to rule as the beacon of His purpose and will for all countries and nations to follow after their fall (America civil war, cruelty of slavery, segregation… God I believe gives control to those whom he has given power, but can humble themselves to His will like Jesus. Matthew 23:12 For those who exalted themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. We must humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand that He may lift us up in due time, 1 Peter 5:6.

Are we faithfully carry out the work Jesus has given us to do in his absence until his return? Are we prepared for His return? Instead all of us so called Christians are lying, hating, accepting the deception and temptation of the devil, despising God’s truth for our own…not realizing that like Peter Satan has desires to have us, that he may sift us as wheat. (Luke 22:31) that our faith in God has now failed us. We rather put faith in a man, lies, wars to solve our problems. What happened to following Christ, and being Christ like. Who side are we on, when we rather accept, hatred, division, right out deceptions and lies. We are so blinded, that by sight, in light, we still can’t see and even by hearing, our hearing is distorted to truth. We can only hear what we want to hear, and that is our truth, our prospective of truth. “Help us Lord.”

Man is not falling, we already had fallen, but got up through Christ. But it’s our rebellious, disobedience actions in doing our own thing apart from God that’s causing our suffering. Adam and Eve didn’t have what we have, which is a light, our salvation, a redeemer and a mediator…one who is one with us and have the understanding of our infirmities that we can call on his name and be delivered. We find ourselves in the same predicament though as Adam and Eve because we’re lovers of the things of the world which the devil is using as bait to conform us.

Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God? If following in Jesus footsteps, let’s make no mistake! Remember Jesus disliked the works of the Pharisees and Scribes, so if you have their kind of mentality, check yourself Christians, Matthew 23:23.
