Turning from Centralism


 It's Monday, the 1st of February and, a brand new month.

We need deliverance globally. We need deliverance locally from global corruption. I talk about monopolies and big business and big banks, the IMF and all these situations is global sex trafficking. The few people at the top, the 1% of the 1%. As Christians, we are our camp is not a racial camp. We believe in justice for the whole community. We believe in loving our neighbor as Jesus taught us.

In the parable of the Good Samaritan, no ethnicity wasn't mentioned, no religious background was mentioned, but just the fact that the person in need, who was beaten up on the road to Jericho was a neighbor and was helped by a Samaritan. And the Samaritan revealed his knowledge of God. He was not a Jew. He was not part of the temple worship in Jerusalem, but from his heart, he revealed the knowledge of God. And that is the knowledge of the cross of Christ. He was not vast in all the doctrine and the theology of our faith, but he demonstrated what Christ demonstrated on the cross when he laid down his life for others, for us, gave himself to rescue us from our road to Jericho our sin and death.

So that's what we're part of. We, we believe in building communities. We believe in justice (local justice) and we're looking at what we can do to restore communities like the book of Isaiah says that we are repairers of the breech Rebuilders of cities to dwell in.

So salvation in the scriptures is spiritual. It's in the heart. But when we are saved in the heart, it means we treat our neighbor differently, and this is the whole meaning of it. So we don't have exploitation. We don't have this sort of economic violence that we see today in the world, because we have a neighbor. When you look at the 10 commandments, they're all about neighbors.

You know, it's talking about not lying, adultery, not stealing, it's love loving your neighbor as yourself. The 10 commandments were given to Israel in the context of their coming out of Egypt, under Pharaoh who had no concern for neighbor whatsoever. And we in our new heart; our heart is to be turned to one another to our neighbor to those around us, just like the good Samaritan, no matter the ethnic background or religious background. And this is how we restore our nations.

We restore as Isaiah said. We're turning from this centralism of just trying to profit ourselves, our ethnic group, our economic social group and returning to one another to care for one another, to look for those that are lost for those that are beaten down, those that are despised, those that are marginalized and bring care, love, and justice to others. This is what our nations, our world needs.

And we pray that in February, we're looking to God for big miracles to turn our lives, our communities, our nations, and our world, back to this. To have a red sea; to deliver our nations from Pharaoh. This is why Jesus came into the world to change our hearts so that our communities could become places, where lives flourish, and the weak people are protected, weak people flourish. And that's what we're looking to God for God is a God of miracles. He's a good God. This is His plan. And He will do it. God bless you.
