A life lost is always a tragic and grievous thing, and Scripture teaches us to “weep with those who weep” (Romans 12:15). Yet even in moments of sorrow, the people of God must step back from the emotions that inflame and discern the broader spiritual landscape. The enemy often exploits moments of tragedy to stir confusion, division, and reactionary anger. This is why Proverbs 28:5 says, “Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it completely.” We must look beyond the surface and recognize the forces at work attempting to fracture the nation.
America stands at a dangerous crossroads, one that could escalate into deeper national unrest if wisdom does not prevail. Scripture warns that “a house divided against itself cannot stand” (Mark 3:25), and the rhetoric saturating our culture is pushing the nation toward internal conflict. Many voices in the public arena on the left, are stirring hostility, lawlessness, and contempt for order, creating an atmosphere ripe for chaos. This is not merely political tension—it is a spiritual battle for the soul of the nation. The people of God must discern the times and refuse to be swept into the emotional storms being manufactured.
Since when did it become acceptable to lay hands on law enforcement officers who are fulfilling their sworn duty to uphold the law? Romans 13:1–2 reminds us that governing authorities exist because God permits them, and resisting lawful authority invites disorder and instability. The normalization of hostility toward those tasked with protecting communities is a sign of a culture drifting from righteousness. When lawlessness is celebrated, justice becomes distorted, and confusion fills the land. This is why the Remnant must stand for truth, order, and integrity in the public square.
Our nation has become entangled in toxic political schemes that blur moral lines and redefine foundational truths. Isaiah 5:20 warns, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” We see this unfolding as society confuses gender identity, elevates criminal behavior as victimhood, and places those who violate national immigration laws above those who have sacrificed to defend it. Such moral inversion is not merely misguided—it is spiritually dangerous. The Remnant must anchor itself in the unchanging Word of God and refuse to bow to cultural confusion.
What must happen now is a return to accountability, integrity, and reverence for the rule of law. Scripture teaches that leaders are held to a higher standard, and those who use their influence to stir violence or undermine lawful authority must be confronted with truth (James 3:1). Any individual in governmental office—whether on a school board, in local or state government, or in national positions—who encourages hostility toward law enforcement must be held responsible for their words and actions. This is not about political retaliation but about preserving order, justice, and the safety of American citizens. As Proverbs 29:4 declares, “By justice a king gives a country stability, but those who are greedy for bribes tear it down.”
And now, says the Spirit of the Living God, let the Remnant rise with fire in their bones and clarity in their vision. This is the hour to shake off fear, cast down confusion, and stand as burning torches in a nation stumbling through manufactured darkness. For the Lord declares, “My light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5), and that light is rising through My consecrated ones. Lift your voice, Remnant, for I am igniting a holy boldness in you that no narrative, no deception, and no scheme of the enemy can silence. Stand firm, pray fiercely, and let the roar of the Ecclesia thunder across the land until righteousness breaks forth like the dawn and justice rolls like a mighty river.
