1 Thessalonians 5 ~ Be at peace among yourselves †

1 Thessalonians 5

Be at peace among yourselves.

 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.  See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone.  Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

 Do not quench the Spirit.  Do not despise prophecies,  but test everything; hold fast what is good. 

Abstain from every form of evil.

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.

Brothers, pray for us.

Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

I put you under oath before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people who are called by my name

humble themselves, and pray and seek my face

and turn from their wicked ways, 

then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin 

and 
heal their land.

When you closely observe people, actions define them. Finding Joy in life is to find the focus. Finding the Light of Jesus in people is going to lead to the path of the Holy Spirit. Fruitfulness.

When the Riot started
There was sheer rage. And in typical riots, the criminal element is going to push those taking selfies and having entertainment to do horrendous acts and be caught in being in the wrong place and, perhaps, seriously injured or seriously charged with crimes. (The criminal element is going to throw the lesser criminal to the ground and escape. This is not a team sport.)

By the third night, people had done some deciding and gone home earlier. And parents put teens in cars to be safe, you could tell they'd been told to,"Stay-in-the-car!" Not a bad idea, but daytime is better. In fact, younger ones were earlier, and older ones were late. (So old and so late, we wondered what will happen with Covid-19 to this amount of astonishing lack of self-motivation in health.)

By the fourth night, people are exhausted from hate, yelling, screaming, setting fires and acting up. And so - the crowd was a different age, different race and in a different mood. Frankly, different. In fact, so different trash bins were set on fire. Why? This crowd didn't want to go to Federal Prison for Domestic Terrorism!

This Crowd is Thinking.


So,  we are seeing a real reaction - let's think together:

Rudy Giuliani - Attorney, Major of NYC, and United States Associate Attorney General says looking at this - it's Murder One by Derek Chauvin and Murder charges for the depraved indifference for the 3 other policemen. (He is, frankly, surprised they weren't charged day One.) These 4 Protect and Serve Policemen are "clearly" caught on 2 separate Video phones for the crowd pleading to not murder George Floyd - we are seeing outrage for correctly applied - ineptitude - from Minneapolis.

This set of police in Minneapolis is - inept. They have rogue police officers who aren't afraid to be filmed doing "murder". They do not contain the crowd or inspire the crowd. This police group is not, not, not, not led to do the purpose with efficiency.

Frankly, 4 days of riots asking for Justice - when Justice is the Police purpose, other than "protecting and serving" the people seeing murderous police - is just awful. They need 3 new Officiers reorganizing the Minneapolis Police Department. We need to see Police protecting and serving when we have all seen 2 phone videos of - plain murder. With 4 complicit murderous, guilty, terrible police men led by inept Police led by 3 leading officials of that police department.

We need Solutions and - not - fruitless harm.

Success

Success

Success

Success

It's entirely pointless to endanger yourself.

Power does not come from a husband beating a wife. Power does not come from a wife beating the children. This Nation is a collective Family.  Solutions come from "Praying, Thinking and Proper Conduct."

I know, we can all imagine the scene of someone coming home from endangering the family, as a whole, from Riots and Rioting. You think violence in the street doesn't lead to violence in the HOME? Violence makes more Violence. "Maintain the DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY."

STOP. Do not participate in VIOLENCE.

BE FRUITFUL.

Where Will You Sit?

The Capital. The Police Department. The FBI.

"What's Your Sign?"

Have signs saying what you want. Try to be a teacher and not a reactionist. Lead Change in your life.

Why Not Ask For a New System?

When someone swears to "Protect and Serve", they aren't actually a regular citizen. Why not try them in a Higher Branch Court. The Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG Corps) is the branch or specialty of a military concerned with military justice and military law. Officers serving in a JAG Corps are typically called Judge Advocates. ... They also serve as prosecutors for the military when conducting courts-martial. JAG law allows a complete and thorough personal History.

Derek Chauvin has been cited 19 times. And this is sealed. Not in JAG Court. His actions are going to be "JUDGED" in JAG Court.

Leavenworth Military Prison typically has much longer sentences. And a policeman is not going to be shanked. Mercy and Justice. Military Court has a tremendous ability and goals for smooth and sincere Justice. Fair and not biased.

The Military is just huge on obedient orders. Rank and file sheer obey.

It appears, to us all, police conduct is in Critical lack of approval. And has a huge reaction nationwide. If we want this to be out of police jurisdiction - ask for a Specific Change. Probably much more effective than spraying rude words on walls.

Abba, Holy God our Father,

Thank God we have You. We need Jesus to be in us all.
Giving us the ability to see Jesus in each other.

And right now, we need to see More Jesus, Please.

Speak Your Healing Word, we will have more Heaven upon earth.

We pray Covid-19 doesn't eat us all up and the Chinese see we act like Rational People.

Help us to see our Blessings and believe You are going to Provide More Willing Blessings.

Help us to seek You first and Your Kingdom.
We need more Heaven, whew we do.

To Live Love, Joy and Peace. Uphold those we Love.
We Trust You.

We ask for the Virus to end! And, now, we probably need Your Help - a lot.

We need Warp Speed Virus, please, Lord.

Less Rioting. Soon we pray.

1 Thessalonians 5

You are all children of the light and children of the day. 

We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

Since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.

Encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

We ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.

Abba, Holy Father,

Let us Live Your Son Jesus and His Words. Live in me.

Strongly, Enduringly, Courageously, Fully. Wisely.

MERCIFULLY.

Romans 8:28 ~ Interweave

We have given thanks for children not affected by Covid-19. We have given thanks for lack of violence in protests. And we have found - trouble.

Thanksgiving to God is never wasted. Hope is not only a positive influence on us every moment we can genuinely employ Faith. Historically, we can trust trouble will occur and in the overcoming we find Optimism, Faith and Hope keep us Alive.

Senses versus sensationalism. More is at work than George Floyd. We have heard the complaints during the Pandemic of ridiculous freedoms being entailed. We have seen fights over masks - in a Pandemic! It's not been widely reported about the solutions. I listened last week to one weary in striving to make a living, "Solutions are childish, we need trade offs."

So we really want to hear all of our problems displayed without the hope of a better next month? If we don't focus on what is working and build up our strength, we will Weaken. Ministry is the example of the Posts, the last two days about the wonders of Jesus Christ. His ancestry is flawed. His Disciples lack faith. Circumstances move against Him. And the reply from the Word of God isn't something so sweet we can't hold on to it with rational faith. All things are interweaving:


Romans 8:28
And we know that all things "Interweave" together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.



God tells us, rather unbelievably, we sulk to learn, to focus on God and Love Him. In our rational minds, we wonder if God believes still in lambs and goats and turtledoves being offered. Because there is so much we touch upon and we wonder if God is there. And we find God is wise.

Where are we going to put our focus?

If we look at Pandemic, we find ourselves in fact finding mode. We entrust our senses to finding what is sensational and not find the solutions. Solutions are real. Trade offs are the sacrifices of goodness life requries us to make. To give up hope is applauded as realistic. And alcoholism is 1 in 3 adults. If we are going to applaud a lack of hope - we are going to find ourselves - hopeless.

Realistic. Trouble ends. Applaud the less dramatic solutions.

Realistic. Trouble ends. THANK GOD.

Applaud God our children do not have Covid-19 like Polio.

4 million confirmed cases of COVID-19.

Among 345 children with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and complete information about underlying conditions, 23% had an underlying condition, with chronic lung disease (including asthma), cardiovascular disease, and immunosuppression most commonly reported.12

Recently, however, reports from Europe and North America have described clusters of children and adolescents requiring admission to intensive care units with a multisystem inflammatory condition with some features similar to those of Kawasaki disease and toxic shock syndrome. Case reports and small series have described a presentation of acute illness accompanied by a hyperinflammatory syndrome, leading to multiorgan failure and shock.13-15 Initial hypotheses are that this syndrome may be related to COVID-19 based on initial laboratory testing showing positive serology in a majority of patients. Children have been treated with anti-inflammatory treatment, including parenteral immunoglobulin and steroids.

It is essential to characterize this syndrome and its risk factors, to understand causality, and describe treatment interventions. It is not yet clear the full spectrum of disease, and whether the geographical distribution in Europe and North America reflects a true pattern,

THANK GOD THE CHILDREN ARE NOT DYING OF COVID 19.

Realistic. Trouble ends. THANK GOD.

More is at work than George Floyd. Who did not deserve to die. Can you watch the four policemen and not feel ANGRY? NO.

Ahmaud Arbery - can you watch his death and not weep?

Boston. We saw the Klu Klux Klan swamped by 200,000 people making sure Martin Luther King, Jr would see we want His Dream to Live. My childhood saw segregation, seeing people just lose their minds. Living. George Springsteen "Your Hometown".

What can you do?

I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown

In '65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come
To my hometown
My hometown
My hometown
My hometown

Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back
To your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown

Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
Talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
I'm thirty five we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around
This is your hometown.


Jesus Christ worked with His Flawed Family. Jesus Christ believed in the incredibly bumptious Disciples.


We can't dwell in sensationalism. We dwell in God has faith in us and have Hope. Find the Solutions.

We know Minneapolis is on fire at 3 a.m. on Lake Street.

And we know it won't be soon. Because in the riots, we find why God has faith in us. The Light of Jesus Christ is found in mankind even in the damn riots. The man who broke the window at Ace Hardware was photoed, videos taken and reported by the crowd with him. One cheerful quasi-rioter was horrified to learn rocks had been thrown 'at the police', no way. Local news found him finding out. (The other rioter with him was more goat ish.) When Target was looted, one brave bystander stood and took videos of the looters. Knock, Knock. We want the lamps back. Mr Rogers still sees the Helpers. (Can you imagine being the one filming the looting inside Target. Note to self: increase bravery.) PS, Target took a few videos, too.

Anger is one thing. Violence another. 3 A.M Lake Street saw violent people getting away quickly from The National Guard. Thank You, National Guard, for making sure people can dwell in safety through the night and day without fire.



THANK GOD THE DEMONSTRATORS NATIONWIDE,ARE NOT DYING OF COVID 19.

THANK GOD THE DEMONSTRATORS NATIONWIDE, ARE NOT VIOLENT AND BELIEVE SOLUTIONS WILL BE OBTAINED.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR BELIEF AND THE PEACE YOU HAVE SHOWN. NATIONWIDE.



Honor The Peaceful Demonstrators. And include in the ranks of the Peaceful Denomstrators - George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery. Their families have lost Good Men.

Honor the Solutions we have to Search Diligently to find. Put down Sensationalism.

ASK to see what Paul Harvey called "The Rest of the Story:"

Mayor Simmons, Greenville, MS

Last week, Greenville police officers issued $500 tickets to drive-in church attendees at Temple Baptist Church and threatened the action at King James Baptist Church.

Mayor Simmons said the actions came as a result of Governor Tate Reeves’ statement on a conference call that drive-in services would not work because “people of faith like to fellowship” .


Outlining the steps he and the City Council took as the city sought to follow CDC guidelines and the Governor’s shelter-in-place order, Simmons said faith was at the center of his administration but a “smear campaign” was begun against him and the city, calling it “unacceptable and reprehensible.”

Mayor Simmons said he and his family have had threats on their life following the incidents.

“These incidents have been taken out of context,” Simmons said. “This is not a time to play politics. This is not a time to inflame unprecedented and challenging times with unnecessary attacks and false narratives.”

Mayor Simmons said the city will not be requiring anyone issued a citation to pay the fines.

20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
