Christian leaders, Police a.k.a. Cops, other authority figures.. even our president today is being harassed and opposed. Didn't Jesus warn us that it would get like this? Sure.
It's very costly, but also a good day to get right with God and help others do that.
Why is it happening? I still learning really, but it's in a sinner's nature to rebel against Authority and flawed people in positions of delegated authority. I used to feel like that -- my old nature still wants to tell me what to do.. that's wrong.
Rebelling, rioting, finger-pointing, resisting God and delegated authorities is all vogue today. The devil is the accuser of the brethren still. That's why we all need a new spiritual birth and new nature inside. The 60's were pretty wild, but again.. we are living in perilous times. How does God describe it?
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." 2 Timothy 3:1-13
Take your time here, let it sink in -- muse some more on His truth. What the Apostle Paul said on this seems fitting for our times:
"My persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed." 2 Timothy 3:11-13
Many people have questions on all this chaos and craziness. Perhaps you do too?
The Public Support For ‘Racial Justice Protests’ Is Dropping Significantly.

I pray that we will pray in the USA today. Yep, effectively. Today. We want to see the strongholds of evil crumble away, Lord.
Life, liberty, free speech, safety for lost and saved Americans etc. -- man, a whole lot's at stake. Understatement!

Corrupt Democrats function according to their playbook and Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Ask yourself, Do These Rules Seem Timely?
“Never let a crisis go to waste.” The Alinsky, Chomsky Marxist agenda is behind all this nonsense at the DNC.
- RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
- RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
- RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
- RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
- RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
- RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
- RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
- RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
- RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
- RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
- RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
- RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
