God said, "when you see these things happening, LOOK UP", He never wanted us to enmesh ourselves in the things that are happening all around us.
God wanted us to prepare ourselves in holiness and wait with great expectation as a bride waits for her husband.
We are citizens of heaven and not of this world. The things of the world need to be left with the world as we speak the gospel and encourage other born again believers to keep their eyes fixed on Jesus Christ.
So many are needlessly agitating themselves worrying about something that is not their business, the things of this world.
1 John 2:14-16 "14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.…"
James 4:4
"You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God."
1 John 4:5-6 " 5 They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this, we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error."
When our eyes are continually fixated on the world they cannot be fixed on God. If you have trusted in a leader, a country, a church building, a pastor or anything or anyone else you are not trusting in Christ.
Think about how often you think about God. How many times do you speak and listen to Him in a week? If it is not every day then something is wrong
We do not neglect the most important person in our lives for one day. If Christ is the most important One in our lives we cannot go very long in a day without talking to Him or listening to Him.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
"16 Rejoice always; 17 pray without ceasing; 18 in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."

No Excuse for Looting and Pillaging
Those who use race as a reason to pillage and loot are merely looking for an excuse to justify their sin. They dishonor their own parents by these antics.
Exodus 20:12-15 "12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal."
My family came to this country only two generations ago and had nothing to do with slavery. To include me, an American citizen as being culpable for the sins of someone else's father is ridiculous at best.
Ezekiel 18:19-21 "19 Yet you may ask, ‘Why shouldn’t the son bear the iniquity of his father?’ Since the son has done what is just and right, carefully observing all My statutes, he will surely live.
20 The soul who sins is the one who will die. A son will not bear the iniquity of the father, and a father will not bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will fall upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked man will fall upon him.
21 But if the wicked man turns from all the sins he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die."
It is racist to blame a white person today for what a different white person did 200 years ago. It is also racist to blame a black person for what another black group is doing now.
I don't even have relatives who were part of slavery. Even those who had relatives who were a part of slavery would be a sin to make them accountable for what their forefathers did. I know of many blacks who do not do terrible things to others no matter what people group to which they belong they have no part in the rioting that is going on now.
It is not justice to treat people badly because of their people group, whether black or white, if they did not personally do the crime then it is sin to treat them as if they did.
Just as it is racist and sin for a white person to blame all blacks for what is happening in the riots, it is equally racist and sin to blame all whites for what some whites did 200 years ago. All of it is foolish and without excuse.
Only the devil would pit unjustly one people group against another people group merely because of a few fools in either one. Come-on now people, stop allowing the devil, and those influenced by him to bait you into acting wickedly or feeling uncomfortable around another people group.
1 Peter 5:8 "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."
Proverbs 11:9
"With his mouth, the godless man would destroy his neighbor, but by knowledge, the righteous are delivered."
1 Peter 3:9
"Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing."
Proverbs 3:30
"Do not contend with a man for no reason, when he has done you no harm."
Exodus 20:12-15 "12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal."

I Pray Discipline on America
If you want to see America protected by God, then pray that the people of this country will repent from all the following:
I live in America and I see every day the arrogance, stubbornness and sin.
There are more babies born out of wedlock now than in marriage.
There are 4000 babies murdered every day in abortion mills.
Divorce and remarriage are rampant.
Many couples in the churches attend every week who live together and are not married. The churches do not discipline for sin or even preach against it.
Parents act like children and the children have no respect for their parents.
The schools are teaching evil things while training children to disrespect their parents.
Most Christians are hostile toward correction from the Bible.
Most Christians believe things are in the Bible that is not there.
Most Christians lie about truth and love their pleasure more than God.
The next generation cusses like drunken sailors as a usual matter of course, and this includes those who attend churches.
Pornography is readily available at any store.
Most people don't care about one another except to make themselves look good.
I heard a report recently that said there is a rise in domestic abuse because of the "stay at home" orders. People cannot even get along with one another in the home.
People are whining about the "stay at home" when they have everything they need. We are a spoiled nation that plays as much as it works.
Children have more things than ever before and are less happy.
I could write a book about this!!!!!
NO, I AM NOT GOING TO PRAY FOR AMERICA TO BE GREAT AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN A WORLD POWER AND LOOK WHAT IT DID WITH ITS WEALTH AND FREEDOM.
I pray for discipline and repentance for this wicked nation.

The 2 Timothy World God Spoke of in His Word
Welcome to our world now! Never think we are going to get better, it only invites discouragement. God clearly said how the end times will be, and we are living in them right now.
For the born again believer, we are not discouraged but encouraged because it means we will be going home soon. God said it would happen, I believe Him and I trust in Him for whatever comes.
2 Timothy 3: 1-5
"3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."

What Will Become of the Covert Narcissist After They Leave?
If the same things happened to the narc they would not notice it was exactly what they did. They use everything that happens to them to blame others. They are completely irrational. We should never allow the narc to see us being like them, its only food for them.
The devil is controlling them, he loves it when he can cause born again believer to act badly in return. That's why God said to "do good to those who persecute you." It does not mean we have to stay around them, it just means if we have to be in their presence we never return evil for evil. God will deal with them later, He knows better than us what must be done.
