I’m taking these five-part life lessons from the sacred text of Scripture by correlating the laws of “Cause and Effect” of Physics with that higher truth called Reciprocity, known as “sowing and reaping” (Galatians 6:7-8). Coupled together and because of God’s omnipotent omnipresence (Being everywhere in time and space at the same time with infinite power.), it means that God has fixed laws in the universe that activate automatically on two scales: nature and the human scale. As fixed laws, created by God (Note Hebrews 1:2 and Colossians 1:17…), they are set in motion when the harmony and balance of the laws are violated. That is when the ecological system of the environment is abused, whether by killing off endangered species and disrupting the food chain or interfering with the natural balance of the ecological system on Earth. When we exploit the earth for its natural resources without considering the fallout of collateral damage and raping the way natural resources reproduce; it will cause disruptive “climate changes” in the weather erupting in storms in earth, water, air, and fire...Now on a human scale, it means that what we “do” bad or good” to others will come back to us, known as “sowing and reaping” in Scripture (Galatians 6:7-10). It doesn't necessarily happen immediately. Rather, it can happen at any point along life's journey, either in this life or (whether you believe it or not), it could happen in the afterlife. But it will happen...Ecclesiastes 8:11-13…

The Summary of God’s Justice & Judgment: As I stated in the beginning, those laws work automatically, which means God doesn’t do it. We activate those laws when we willfully and maliciously reject God's revealed will...The justice of it means that God is vindicated and judged right and righteous without doing a thing. In that context, the bottom line is that humanity judges itself and self-destructs which is one reason why 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 says, “ For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.” We see that throughout history correlated with Scripture from the very beginning in Genesis 6 to Romans 1 to the Book of Revelation where it indicates that evil people will hate God even more because of the judgments they caused…The final Judgment will be finalized in the human conscience where it says in Romans 2:16 that “God will judge the secrets of our heart” which means they will be revealed to the collective consciousness in a moment and twinkling of the eye, and everyone will know the truth. Remember, Scripture says “We will judge the world and angels,” (1 Corinthians 6:2-3). Our “own” revealed conscience will dictate whether we believe or disbelieve. It is the very nature of evil to be unredeemable because evil hates God like Satan. And because evil is unredeemable, even at the final judgment when the Truth is revealed, people corrupted by evil will still reject the Lord and determine their “own” eternal state. In the final analysis, God doesn’t kill anyone, especially innocent people, and innocent people and aborted babies will be raised in eternal life…Evil people, influenced by evil spirits, kill innocent people and cause destruction, not God…

Part 2. Historical Analysis & The Power of Words (Proverbs 18:21; Matthew 12:37)

This extends from the person who said “God is killing people” from part one. They said that relative to People of Color. I was headed toward sharing about how believers can come together and be prepared with a strategy to reach People of Color for Christ out of the context of the Great Commission and bring them together because God has a purpose and plan for their redemption. The meeting was interrupted by a subtle toxic rebuttal, by someone that affected someone else in the group. I discerned it as a condemning religious spirit that demoralizes, denigrates, and destroys people’s lives from within by stereotyping everyone in the group as bad people. We can also see this in the use of monolithic language which means to clump whole people groups together like a stone with words like “The Blacks.” It’s misinformation, lies, vicious innuendos, gossip, and rumors. (We can become “our” “own” worst enemies.) What’s my point:

Historically, People of Color did not create their problems. They were forced into ghettos by segregation laws to live in cramped quarters of highrise projects and compete for scarce resources like crabs in a barrel and inherited conditions from generation to generation. That doesn’t negate their responsibility to do something about it, which they did through Black Wall Street, HBCUs, and the rise of black professionals in science, technology, and business, and celebrities to today become the 12th richest nation in the world by their Gross National Product. What am I saying? Although People of Color were robbed of their material possessions and reduced to being poor, their human worth remained valuable. I’m saying that from 1619 to 2025 People of Color, rich in natural resources, gifts, and talents from their heritage, have made significant contributions to American history, contributing to building the infrastructure and America’s wealth and power. Relatively speaking, there are people of every ethnicity and culture that fit the bad person mold. That’s not unusual, but black people around the world have been given a “bum rap” because of the color of their skin. It has caused a “stigma” on the whole that continues to divide them from each other…The real problem of our disunity isn’t the fact that we have a self-hate psychology, are non-supportive of each other, and put each other down. The bigger problem is that hypocritical religious people, who comprise a significant voting bloc, speak negatively about their “own” people as if they deserve what they get in society because they are “good for nothing.” Now, let’s put this in perspective of Scripture:

Satan is “the prince and power of the air” who influences people within the atmosphere of our world…When we speak those negative toxic things publically, we give the devil the advantage to influence others to think the same way. I’m not superstitious or hyper-spiritual. I’m a realist with spiritual discernment. Those negative words carry weight and empower the devil to oppress them through people because religious people agree with them being oppressed as a plague on society and a wasteful drain on federal dollars. Practically, those words are spread through the airwaves of social media, and online news and spread by YouTubers, Podcasters, and Influencers. It happens in religion but it’s reinforced and spread through politics, especially when religion embraces politics…Now, I wasn’t DISCOURAGED by the negative comments I alluded to in the beginning. Rather, I was ENCOURAGED and INSPIRED by it and I am also encouraged and inspired by these times because God has an awesome plan for the downtrodden, and disenfranchised, disadvantaged people...Come back and discover the enemies strategy and God’s counter strategy to overcome in part three…

Part 3. The Devilish Hypocritical Strategy (2 Corinthians 2:11)

The “stratagem” (strategic scheme) of the enemy is to push people who have been dubbed “minorities” back to a time of segregated servitude to control them. I call it the reawakened Confederacy…The strategy is to use force to “take the wind out of their sails” so they’ll give in and give up. The question is why? My answer comes from the higher truth of Scripture and that is because God has a prophetic plan for minority people throughout the last days. Satan knows that plan because it’s all over Scripture. (See Romans 8-11) He plans to prevent it from happening because he knows when it begins to happen, it means his end is near. It will culminate in the largest harvest of indigenous, low-marginal income People of Color in Third World countries and those in First World countries living in third world conditions that the world has ever seen. It doesn’t happen in a day, but the signs point out that it’s beginning to happen now and will continue until we see People of Color rise in the power of God…

The influence to prevent it from happening comes in the form of religion and uses “force.” Force is leveraged by the bombardment of lies, conspiracy theories, derogatory threatening language that generates fear and deception, the greatest smoke screen tools of the devil…How the righteous respond to it is the next question. That answer is not by retaliating by “doing evil for evil,” but ironically, by “overcoming evil with good.” Now how does that work when people are pushed into a corner? It begins the same way that negative things are spoken into the atmosphere of our world influencing people to think the same way…Practically, those words are spread through the airwaves along the internet, social media, and online news and spread by YouTubers, Podcasters, and Influencers. It happens in religion but it’s reinforced and spread through politics, especially when religion embraces politics…

The subtle way that it happens is through mainstream religious leaders and politicians from those who crave power, control, and wealth. In some ways, people like that become demagogues. Whether theist, polytheist, atheist, or agnostic, they elevate themselves as a little “god.” In many cases, they pretend like Chameleons…That becomes hypocrisy…They will pretend to be part of any religion of most people to persuade the people to follow them. Hypocrisy means that they will demoralize and condemn the same sins and ills in others that they do in secret that they hide with a false “good” person front. Their reasoning is to project their fault onto others to feel better about themselves and distract attention away from them. Take a look at Matthew 7:1-5…What that does for them is to defeat their opponents by the force of criticism and condemnation by beating them down with words…remember that as we go into part four…

Part 4. (The Nature of Force & Violence)

Let me begin with the rationale that we can see in history and religion behind the use of force to win. It means the Bigger the God, the Bigger the Victory through the fear and dread of their God. And the Bigger Victory by the Bigger God would mean that the the “little god” and their people were Superior…

With that thought in mind, look with me at Matthew 11:12. Speaking on behalf of John the Baptist, Christ’s forerunner, the Lord says, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” Now because Scripture is of no private interpretation, meaning it interprets itself by comparison and connecting the dots, compare those words to John 10:1, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.” In verse eight of the same chapter, He adds that all that came before Him were thieves and robbers. Also, all that comes after Him are thieves and robbers. Now, in Matthew 11:12, note the words “force” and “violence” compared and you will come to the conclusion that it is saying, that all religious political leaders, whether dictators or not, sought to make their God God through another means rather than Christ and that means was by violence...Now that may sound like a narrow view to the universalist or existentialist, but when we consider the way of redemption, atonement, and salvation, there is no other way because no man did or could do what Christ did by satisfying the demands of God’s justice and righteousness as a man in our humanity to represent us before God and pay the penalty we incurred for our sin. Thus, freeing us to have a personal relationship with God through Christ, the Mediator of the New Covenant, and our salvation, which frees us from condemnation through forgiveness. And note here that God is not a God of religion but of relationship in the Universal Body of Christ of all believers…Religion is divided through theology, dogma, and doctrine…

Part 5. Conclusion: The Rebuttal (1 Peter 3:15)

Now, aside from going to God through Christ, force meant that they sought to overthrow God’s way and governance and replace it with theirs. It means that they are anti-establishment and do not give equal rights to those considered as “minorities.” That is they want to overthrow any form of government that they cannot control. And the force behind it is religious hypocrisy.

So, how do you overcome that kind of force against you? 1) Come together with a purpose that I call “the cause of Christ”. 2) Have group dialog by changing the narrative and the conversation by removing politics, religion, and social values from the “round table,” and not namedropping people, movements, places, or organizations. 3) Pray together the prayers of intercession for leaders. The only way you should pray for evil leaders is to ask God to save them if they can be saved and then pray that God delivers people from their evil if they do not change. Pray “in the Spirit” and in the context of the “Lord’s Prayer” which I see as a “Perfect Prayer” that covers the bases of all that we need. 4) Practically, reinforce the “Armor of God”and the “Fruit of the Spirit”(Ephesians 6:10-18; Galatians 5:22-24). My website www.midddlemission.org is an ideal place for all that I mentioned along with our Think Tank. We will offer the opportunity to interface, interact, and interchange innovative thoughts, ideas, and concepts; and provide a minority business/ministry network for resource development and referrals, just to name a few things…

In conclusion, we don’t raise our fist in retaliation. We raise our voices in public when necessary, online, among our families and friends, and in public. We raise our voices by matching negative rhetoric with a positive rebuttal from God’s Word. Our positive words carry weight too and empower God’s people, by the Spirit of God, to overcome the weight of oppression by gathering large numbers of people for the cause of Christ. When that happens with the faithful, it is reinforced in the heavens (Matthew 18:18-20) and spread through politics, online, social media, on the streets, and at the polls…
