If
my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and
seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14(KJV)
As we mark
the 12th anniversary of the attack on the United States, we must
have a spiritual resilient attitude. We must see the author of this most horrific
crime and set our hearts against him with extreme malice. But before we go out killing Taliban or
trying to resurrect Osama Bin Laden, it is imperative that we realize they are
not the enemy.
The United
States and its imperial regime was the subject of the Taliban’s anger, it was
the Christ Jesus. Currently we are the last great power that claims the Name of
Jesus is there any wonder that the real enemy of our savior has attacked the
people of the United States.(John
15:19-21) The present condition of American
religiosity is developed in poor doctrine and a water down Gospel. And because
of the condition of Christianity in the United States the attack on @ 911 (the
sun of trials and tribulations) served to scorch the seed that had no depth of
root (Mark
4:5-6)
How many
people that thought they were Christian fell from the faith because that felt
that God had failed them, or that the attack just wasn't fair? How many
So-called Christians who lost loved ones turned from the love of God to the
hate of the devil? Even worst, how many
of us danced
in the streets when Bin Laden
was killed?
All the
while in our ignorance of scripture, and doctrine and that mist of our desire
for hate and revenge the Devil has slipped through the back door, and turned God’s
created (those
that have been hurt by 911) against
God’s created (those responsible, and those the suffer because of an
association with the responsible) for
his own perverted reasons. (1
Peter 5:8-9)
Yet we
who put our trust and faith in Jesus Christ know that it’s not the Taliban or
Islam or anyone in the middle-east whom we should set our heart against it’s
the devil. And we set our heart against the devil through by presenting Christ
to the world for their salvation. Ezekiel
33:11 says God
has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and neither should we.
I know
we can defeat the real enemy not through bigger guns, but through bigger faith.
Let’s use this 12th anniversary of 911
to reach those we would not normally reach, study the word as we normally
wouldn’t study, and live for Christ as he has called us to.
Then we
will remember 911 not as a time of death but as a time of spiritual awaking.
Your
Brother in Christ
