Apologies. I neglected to set this article to publish, so it’s a day late… know that this was written before the events surrounding Roe vs. Wade were announced.

There is no shortage of pressure at this moment in time – and I mean that for all of us. I find frequently that it not only feels that something is off, but that it’s off-timed. I mean, we know this is all coming, but something within me tells me – and in no uncertain terms – that it’s not time yet.
It gives rise to a welling deep within me – a primal scream if you will – borne not of rage per se’, but of sheer frustration and a weariness of shouldering these burdens with no perceivable end in sight.
To be less obtuse, the issues of which I speak are many. They range from the personal, to the communal, the national and even global. From being unable to discern if any of my own efforts to serve the King actually matter, to watching the controlled demolition of my entire society.
It’s the lectures on “virtue” being given to us by a people who can’t define the word “woman” or know in a given moment which bathroom they should be using…
It’s the feeling helplessness as the cost of living threatens to skyrocket out of control, fomented directly by the policies of an installed usurper…
It’s the understanding that the value of citizenship is being eroded while the government continues to reach it’s grubby paws deeper and deeper into our collective pockets – only to allow our veterans to sleep on the streets while handing billions of dollars we DO NOT have to foreign countries…
It’s the continual onslaught of the adversary through each and every media platform available – lifting up the voices of the repugnant and insane, while silencing the voices of sanity, morality and reason…
It’s the recognition that we are not look at the birthing of an “Idiocracy“, but the realization that we’re living in it now…
One has to wonder if any of the denizens of those cultures of old – Sodom, Gomorrah, Zeboiim and Admah – Ninevah, Babylon or any of the other “great evils” – ever looked around at their own societies and saw them for the twisted, spiraling mass of refuse and decay that they ultimately proved to be?
I know that I am not alone – at least, I believe that I’m not, but I want to scream. Things are so atrociously beyond the pale right now – right here in this moment – that I am left to wonder… what will it really take to wake this culture up? Will it happen at all before it’s too late? Are we a Nineveh – who repented of her wicked ways – or are we a Babylon – who simply fell?
Only time will tell, but I know this; God is still on the throne and no matter what comes, I will continue to follow Him and obey the orders He’s given me. I didn’t think things would get this far, but they have and it’s left me questioning…
Heavenly Father – if I have spoken in your name, things which You did not say or intend, I repent.
If I have taught untruths, well-intended though I may have been, I repent.
If I have placed my hope on earthly means, when Your word clearly identified YOU as my source and provision, I repent.
If I have been haughty, deceptive, selfish or otherwise sinned knowingly or unknowingly, I repent.
I pray for my culture, my nation and my world Lord – I pray with all my heart, mind and soul the one word which continually inhabits my thoughts, welling up within me like a primal scream:
JUSTICE!
For those who have been persecuted for standing for truth – Justice!
For the downtrodden, so oft overlooked and cast aside by those of means – Justice!
For the innocent unborn, heartlessly slaughtered within the womb – Justice!
For the poor, the fatherless and the widow – Justice!
For the theft of true masculinity from our culture by that fetid witch Jezebel – Justice!
For generations lied too and seduced by ideologies which are wholly destructive – Justice!
For the double-standard of law throughout my nation – Justice!
For the wickedness in “high-places” – Justice!
For the children, trafficked in the shadows and traded like some… cheap thing – Justice!
Pray with me brothers and sisters… scream with me for justice! My list is far from exhaustive and I know their are matters on your own heart which deserve to be put before the throne – so let us do so.
There will come a day when men’s hearts will fail, when the wicked will thoroughly trample the earth and the gates of hades will be opened to spew forth its denizens upon the earth – but it will not be this day! We cry for JUSTICE throughout our world – recognizing that the differences and divisions between us are nothing but illusion. We Stand Lord, with ONE heart and ONE mind and call for Your mighty hand of justice to be made manifest in all the earth – and we ask this in the name above of all names; the name of Messiah Yeshua.
Amein va amein.
Until next time,
