VETERANS DAY: CASUALTIES OF WAR
|
Posted By: Ann Mack on November 23, 2020 You will hear the noise of wars nearby and the news of wars far off; see to it that you don't become frightened. Such things must happen, but the end is yet to come. ~ MATTHEW 24:6 CJB November 11, 2020 While sitting in Dr. Marcia B. Levi's office this morning, we had a wonderfully brief but on-point discussion about the meaning of this day. And, immediately like clockwork, I could hear in the background to the tune of a trumpet playing, Swing low sweet chariot coming for to carry me home! As I closed my eyes, I could feel my body and mind coming into alignment (syncing) with the harmony of my spirit to a peaceful calm to receive REVELATION. It was perfect and further put me in the remembrance of the many before us who had lost their lives on the battlefield of spiritual warfare to include those during slavery and the Holocaust era. Present, past and future, it is all connected and we MUST be FULLY aware and in tune to acknowledge and understand the importance of it all beyond our natural existence! With my eyes still closed, I was able to visualize the storm hovering over Florida as it pulls energy from the surrounding oceans and seas! In amazement, I am able to see a stirring like a wind on the ocean floor rising to the top to greet the storm above. Making their presence known, it is the souls of those who met their fate from being drowned or killed at sea AND saying, remember me! Holding back the tears, all I could say was wow! Too often we forget the many sacrifices like the soul of Abel whose blood still speaks beyond the grave. And why not? The grave couldn’t hold Jesus and it is HIS BLOOD which saves us ALL! “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.” [Leviticus 17:11] So, don't you get it! The fight for justice, equality, freedom and the right to be heard is more than a movement! It is the right and the AUTHORITY to be counted and valued as part of the human race as granted by our CREATOR. It is the right to stand-up and to demand the right to a free AND unbiased trial minus a hung jury. It is the right to be who God created us to be as freedom fighters! We are and have been allowing ourselves to be preoccupied with nonsense! We have fallen for the lies in the pursuit of material possessions of no value or importance. We have focused our attention on people in position of power with the hope of them saving us when they have no power to save themselves or heal our land while making matters worse. We have chosen idols to worship in place of God while the universe and the people suffer in the name of spiritual warfare when the Bible is very clear! ALL OF CREATION IS WAITING AND YEARNING FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD. There is a deep moaning and groaning from prolonged overdue labor pains of a universe in constant mourning! [Romans 8:22] EVERY DAY - not just once a year - should be a day of remembrance in honor of those who put in the time to fight [INTERCEDE] on the frontline of the battlefield in consideration of others [knowingly or unknowingly]. Those who have made a difference in the pursuit of Kingdom consciousness to claim the light. Anything worth having is worth fighting for – in accordance to the will of God! God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. [2 Timothy 1:7] Are you pledging your life to God in appreciation of HIM and HIS ARMY or are you bowing down to darkness without attempting to claim your inheritance to leave it for the next generation? God said, if you abide in HIM, HE will abide in you! For God, I live and for God, I die as a gracious causality of war in remembrance of ALL of those who laid the ground work! Grab the mantle [an important role or responsibility that passes from one person to another] or the baton [a staff symbolizing office or authority], move forward and pass it on! “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.” ~ PSALM 1:1-2 FOOD FOR THOUGHT: To till the soil, you have to be willing to get involved! REFERENCE: 1. John 16:21 – A woman when she in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 2. Elijah and Elisha: Elijah endured to the end and transferred his mantle to Elisha. Elisha takes Elijah’s mantle and performs a miracle ( 2 Kings 2:13-14 ). 3. https://sermons.love/tony-evans/26-tony-ev... 4. https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/En... 5. https://www.thebalancesmb.com/different-ty...
