Yesterday I learned of 2 terrible tragedies involving children and innocent people. In China, a man went into a school and stabbed 22 children. Here in the United States, a man killed his mother at home, then drove 1 hour to the school where she worked, and shot and killed I believe 20 children in her kindergarten classroom.
Immediately a few things happened. People sent up prayers and asked God to come and save/help/heal the world. Political mumbo jumbo was brought into play and the President was attacked. The issue of gun control being needed in the United States came up as well.
For starters, please read this carefully, GOD USES PEOPLE TO SAVE/HEAL/HELP the world, so while you are waiting on Him, he is waiting on you to take action. In the bible, David slayed Goliath, Joshua won the battle at Jericho, and Moses freed the Israelites....yes absolutely with the help, grace, and anointing of God BUT, BUT, BUT...God did not strike David down, God did not fight the battle in Jericho, and it took Moses to raise his staff (do something) to part the Red Sea. Prayer proceeds praise which proceeds action BUT there must be action on the part of God fearing people that are filled with love and compassion for something to be done. God nor Jesus is going to fall out of the sky or magically appear to heal the world. That is what we are here for!!!!
Politics, must everything be about politics? Can anything simply be about people, humanity, compassion and love? One radio commentator stated that the shooter killed because of depression due to the economic crisis and the fiscal cliff. Really? If that is the case many of our inner city youth commit crime due to depression as they are born into poverty, face it everyday, and there has been a fiscal cliff going on in their lives since their grand parents were born. Why bring that up at a time like this? How does that help the situation? Of course, during a tragedy is also the perfect time to criticize the President, Mayor Bloomberg suggested President Obama needed to introduce a bill on gun control which brings me to my final point.
After all the talk about gun control, and the debate being brought back up it was learned that ALL the guns belonged to the boys mom. How would gun control have helped in this situation? I currently reside in what has been affectionately coined the murder capital of the USA, Chicago. I can guarantee that the majority of guns used to killed are obtained illegally. I can also guarantee that many of the guns on the street were placed there by the government themselves. How can I guarantee that? The same way our US government sends guns to Mexico so cartels can fight and therefore send drugs to the US, the same is true for here.
Unfortunately, violence and crime are big BUSINESS and PROFIT here in the US. What does that mean? Crime does pay, crime pays judges, lawyers, parole officers, prison wardens, other prison staff, correctional officers, police officers etc. Imagine a city like Chicago with "low crime" some folks would be out of work. Now of course the low crime would be awesome but again its about PROFIT, if you don't believe me EVERYTHING the US and many other developed countries do is solely about PROFIT and POWER it is RARELY EVER about the PEOPLE. There is a great documentary called cocaine cowboys, before cocaine and drug wars there was 1 police car on beat for the entire city of Miami...
PRAYER, debates, and wearing colors to come together in solidarity is great BUT where is the ACTION? Where are the "people of God"? What can truly be done to help Chicago, other cities, and ensure things like this are few and far between as opposed to becoming the common norm?
Finally, please read this clearly and if you don't understand research it, the last thing anyone should be doing is walking around with a spirit of fear or despair. That creates low vibrations, low vibrations cause destruction, chaos, and mayhem here on earth. We need to stay in love, joy, peace, calmness, and happiness in all things and vibrate on a higher level to help heal the land.
