I have seen alot of manipulation and the cruelty of those that seek to control groups of people in the church and outside the church. Such strategies are everywhere that you find people in conflict, and Conflict is found every where that you find people....
It occurred to me this morning, simply based on rambling thoughts and my small exposure to the strategies of men. That if a person wanted to gain control of a group that had a strong core... oh I don't know, say a Christian nation. It would seem that an effective approach would be to study the most heated areas of conflict among the people at the core of that nation... perhaps, such an issue as racial tensions.
It would seem necessary to need a platform from which to speak so that you could orchestrate a place to stir the pot and to prey upon the weakness of that nation in order to divide it's core and influence so that it begins to escalate the stirring into a heated frenzy. And then you can sit back and watch the earthquake that your influence has ignited take down building after building, and everything that stood in the way of the agenda of tyrants and greedy men.
What is the most influential position, platform, that is given the attention of the largest percentage of our society (and most countries around the world)? ... being a presidential candidate.
It would not matter if you planned to win or if you were certain you would fail. It would be a matter solely on having the platform with the most influence around the world. A platform that would cause our nation to enter into debate that truly seeks a positive hope and future of a nation as a whole -- or a platform intended to infuse a society with the poison of it's own sins and cause it to close it's ears to anything other than it's side of the argument.
What if, you searched your ranks and found someone that would actually be a good candidate to make a run for it. What if you didn't expect them to win, their becoming president wasn't really the goal of your agenda? then what?
What if suddenly and unexpectedly that person realized that they actually had a chance at winning the office? What if the society/religion that your group's agenda wanted to remove was suddenly revealed as not being as racially polarized as you had thought? what if suddenly the teachings of the people that hired you to make a run for it proved to have some relevance, BUT their motives and what they declared to be truth proved to be grossly askew?
Would there be a way for you to change your mind? To remove the pebble that you threw into their lot? Or have you already sold your deed and your very soul, so that they hold the detonator in their hand?
Terrorism comes in many forms. It is an effective form of warfare.
And our nation is fighting many more wars than we realize, seen and unseen.
The best suicide bombers are those wolves wearing sheep's clothing.
And that sheep's clothing often takes the form of a suit and a tie... or the title of Christian or pastor... But they are neither -- they are wolves despite the color of their skin or expression of their worship. God created all cultures and skin colors, and Satan corrupts people among them all.
There are racial tensions and racial injustices in this nation. There are apologies due and a lack of empathy for much that has happened to several races of people in this nation. There is a way to work toward the goals and the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr (a true hero and man of God), but there is something else under a sheepskin that many need to take note of. You need to look into it's eyes and ask God what spirit is at the heart of it. There are dark days ahead. There are choices to be made. And there are consequences to live/die with -- not just for ourselves, but for our children and the society/world that they will inherit.
Yes, God has a plan and prophesies are being fulfilled. But at no point does God tell us to throw up our hands and just ride it out. Rather we are to occupy until he comes, and we are to work at peace with God and Man. I do not accept that we should do nothing and say nothing. I think we should seek God when to do both, and I think his answer would surprise many of us daily.
I'm not saying this is what's happening. I'm saying it's a valid possibility. But either way, we should all take a breath and seek God diligently in this hour of the Christian Church and in our nation. Racial tensions and racial injustices are fact, but we must not undo the ground that has been gained just because a certain group chooses to rise up with an uncertain agenda that breeds deeper and irreparable conflict.
