| Peaceful Protest for Justice - Indianapolis, IN |
Which of you are so righteous and just that you will pass over into to Heaven without first facing “Judgement”? Forgiving, Loving your neighbor as yourself, feeding the hungry, and striving to be Christ-like?
Which of you feel your unrighteous deeds have gone unnoticed, feel you are in the clear, God is pleased with you, and will forgive your iniquities - yes that is being hateful, murder, anger, idle talk (gossip) - basically being in opposition to God - following Satans ways?
Deception and manipulation does not come from God, it is from the adversary, Satan. Whereas, many are deceived and manipulated into believing it's God's will and purpose to oppress, hate, and mistreat others. It is not His will nor is it His intention that any should perish, but many will; especially those who are prideful, arrogant and believe their riches, color or race , and material gain matter to God! I pray many will turn away from their wicked ways, because this is what God says:
Jeremiah 9:22-24 AMPC
22 Speak, Thus says the Lord: The dead bodies of men shall fall like dung on the open field and like sheaves [of grain] behind the reaper, and none shall gather them.23 Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches;
24 But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.
Satan is very smart; But his intelligence cannot compare to God’s Wisdom and Knowledge, yet many, not all, will never know the depth of God’s wisdom and Love for ALL people due to, again, the deception and focus on worldly things more than Spiritual and righteous things. It begins with reading the Bible that changes a lost and wandering soul. By reading the Bible, you will notice a change in you that will give you a heart of flesh instead of a heart of stone - and establish a relationship with God!
Ezekiel 36:22-32 AMPC
22 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: I do not do this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations to which you went.23 And I will vindicate the holiness of My great name and separate it for its holy purpose from all that defiles it—My name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them—and the nations will know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord [the Sovereign Ruler, Who calls forth loyalty and obedient service], when I shall be set apart by you and My holiness vindicated in you before their eyes and yours.
24 For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all countries and bring you into your own land.
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness; and from all your idols will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall heed My ordinances and do them.
28 And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be My people, and I will be your God.
29 I will also save you from all your uncleannesses, and I will call forth the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine on you.
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field, that you may no more suffer the reproach and disgrace of famine among the nations.
31 Then you shall [earnestly] remember your own evil ways and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominable deeds.
32 Not for your sake do I do this, says the Lord God; let that be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your [own] wicked ways, O house of Israel!
You see it’s not just being kind that changes anyone or anything it starts with a heart change that can ONLY be done through scripture!
Now my question is, “How many of you read and study God’s Word day and night? This is where the change begins and this is how it will end inequality, racial dissension, and oppression of the poor and disabled! There is still hope and it's never too late to begin now!
Psalm 1
1 Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.2 But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.
3 And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].
4 Not so the wicked [those disobedient and living without God are not so]. But they are like the chaff [worthless, dead, without substance] which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked [those disobedient and living without God] shall not stand [justified] in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous [those who are upright and in right standing with God].
6 For the Lord knows and is fully acquainted with the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly [those living outside God’s will] shall perish (end in ruin and come to nought).
