I wrote what I was hearing from the Lord on 6/12. I continued inquiring as I still felt led to ask where these sheep were that He said heard His voice. Not enough were standing up. And then I see Sen. Alex Padilla of California being treated as one of the FBI most wanted by Trump’s handpicked Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem. She lied as to what transpired and MAGA quickly fell in step with her account. And to this day little has been done to rectify this behavior. Bragging about shooting your puppy should actually have been enough to disqualify her for that position. I found myself in Isaiah 41 where the Lord acknowledges that the poor and the needy seek water and find none. Their tongues fail for thirst but He will hear them. So, I ask why so many that say they represent Him care so little about what is happening to the poor and marginalized in our country. So again, in Isaiah 41, the Lord says let the idols they bow before present their case. Can they tell the latter things or things that are to come? They are nothing and their work is nothing. They are all worthless. Images of wind and confusion.
So, I asked again, where are those sheep that hear Your voice? And He said there are more with you than against you, and led me to 2 Kings 6. There the King of Syria was making war plans against Israel. The King of Israel was fearful and sent for Elisha the prophet. The servant of Elisha saw the magnitude of the Syrian army and was afraid. Elisha told him, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them. “Elisha prayed that the servant’s eyes would be opened and he then saw the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around them. The Lord was with them. Elisha then prayed that the Lord would strike the Syrian army with blindness. The Lord did and Elisha led them away. His servant asked if the Syrians should be killed and Elisha said no and to set food and water before them and made a great feast for them. They were then sent away. This is hard to reconcile, and in this the Lord is reminding me that my prayers for those who I see following the evil of Trump and doing wrong to so many must be increased and adjusted. And the Lord tells us in 2 Peter 3:9 that He does not want any to perish and that all should come to repentance. I realize that but for His grace where would I be. But I still need to see some change. For people to stand up for what is right. To see those who worship, and quote a god I do not know, spend time in the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. That all would desire to come to a knowledge of His truth. I am still filled with questions. Yet I am reminded, that just as what the Lord showed me with Elisha, He also told John in Luke 9 that he who is not against us is on our side.
The Lord tells us in Psalm 37 not to fret because of evildoers. The wicked shall perish. But we(I) must commit our ways to the Lord. To trust Him. He shall bring forth our righteousness as the light and our justice as the noonday. Please quicken this time Lord. Blessings.
