When
I heard about Alton Sterling and Philando Castile being shot down, it
was a matter of time before some Christians started screaming prayer. I
know the power of prayer and it's gotten me through serious trials. At
the same time, you have to put action behind prayer. Not everyone's
saved, so how can folks expect unsaved folks to pray in trying times?
They're not. The world is about action, not prayer. What's going on with
the Downtown Dallas Massacre (the 14 people shot, and
5 officers who died yesterday) and just recently the Alton Sterling and
Philando Castile situation, people are fed up. When you're tired of
seeing your people mistreated, if you can't get justice through the
criminal justice system, the next best thing (according to some people)
is to take the law into your hands, which is what some people are doing.
Unsaved people aren't trying to hear nothing about prayer. Another
thing, God calls HIS people to pray, not the world (2 Chronicles 7:14).
A few incidents:
1. Man sent to jail after threatening to kill police in Bossier City, LA. He must know that the feds are heavy on social media, so he was delusional to think he wasn't going to be arrested for threatening law enforcement on social media, smh.
2. Another policeman shot down in Valdosta, GA. This was yesterday.
3. A Houston officer (allegedly, because we don't know what led up to the person getting blasted) shoots unarmed black person.
Those 5 officers exterminated in DT Dallas yesterday are fresh in the minds of many, as is Alton Sterling & Philando Castile. If police didn't have a target on their backs before, they have one now.
