Lystra

Here in Acts chapter 14, we read where Paul was stoned and left for dead outside the city of Lystra. There was much persecution from the Jews even in other countries and cities far removed from Jerusalem. Paul was now preaching to non-Jews the gentiles. Why is there such great opposition to this Christian faith? The demons of Hell work hard to keep anyone from escaping their doom. In our own country at this time the battle we are facing seems to be political but in reality, they are spiritual battles. Battles between good and evil. I believe if Hillary had won instead of Trump in the last election, the economy would not have grown like it did under Trump. We would not be facing a lockdown and economic shutdown. The left would be in power and there would be no need for these battles. The media would be praising everything she did as we sink into socialism and take more of our freedoms away. Remember a few years ago when Christians were killed and they were called Easter Worshipers? I just recently listened to Glenn Beck and he was angry as he spoke about how he supported the lockdown because he believed the narrative about flattening the curve so our hospitals would not be overwhelmed. But then we see these crowds of rioters and looters and the same people are making excuses for them. The same people that told us the good people to stay at home. Now suddenly its not that important when looters are stealing and destroying businesses.  Even going so far as to call it good. It is a battle between good and evil. Our government works for good people, people that will self govern and be self-controlled. He spoke of the Tea Party protests of years ago that were nothing like the looting and stealing we see today and they were called evil and needed to be stopped.  But some of these idiots on the left are encouraging these looters and rioters and even going so far as to bail them out of jail. Yes, tempers are high and police are doing a very difficult job trying to protect people and property and at the same time seeing these activities encouraged that put them in danger. Now we see police being targeted and shot. I think there have been 16  or 17 deaths as a result of the protests, looting, and rioting over the death of a career criminal. Chanting no justice, no peace. Where is the justice in killing these 16 or more people over the wrongful death of one man? No one is defending the police involved in this wrongful death. We will not see the end of bad police action occasionally as long as there are humans. Why do we pick on the police and expect them to be perfect when they have one of the most difficult jobs around? Incidents are far and few between but in an election year, especially when the conservatives look to be in the lead, expect them to be on national news and every name that fits the same narrative for the last ten plus years to be mentioned again. After the election year is over it will not make the news anymore. This is a battle between good and evil and we need to pray and pray and pray. If we win it will be God's will and nothing short of another miracle. The demons of hell are fighting against our freedoms. But to lose our freedoms will not be a peaceful existence either. This is a battle between good and evil and we need to stand up and fight by kneeling and praying for God's will to be done.  God bless, LVZ.
