The Spillover

It seems like you can’t turn on your television or read a newspaper without hearing about border violence. Americans sit back and watch and shake their heads, unaware of a solution. Many are scared and frustrated. We see it. We hear about this violence that is spilling over. Are we safe? Are our children safe? The answer is no. We are not safe and if things keep on happening as they are it will touch us personally sooner or later. We wait silently waiting for a Savior (government officials) to step in and solve the problem. I was born and raised here in the Rio Grande Valley. I am often in awe of all of the churches that we have here. It seems like there is one on every street corner but yet hardly any members go out beyond the comfort of their church walls. We are living in a time where we don’t need to be scared or frustrated. We need to act. It is time for the church to cross denominational lines. It is time for the body of Christ to Unite. Has anyone ever heard the expression, “Divide and conquer? We have been defeated and divided for too long.

So many times we pray for God to send the laborers to spread his word. But we must realize WE are the laborers. So many times we pray for God to raise a standard. But We are the Standard! WE are the standard of morality and what we are accepting as a society is corrupting the morality of the next generation. God says that when the enemy rushes in like a flood that He will raise a standard against it. Did you really think that he wouldn’t ask us to get our hands dirty? We must stand for truth. It seems overwhelming and with no place to start. But let’s start with standing for what’s right. Let’s start with speaking for those that can’t speak for themselves. Let’s start with compassion. Let’s start with not being cowardly and let’s replace it with boldness. Let’s live a life of purity and worship in the midst of a crooked generation. Let’s put all filthiness aside and put on our robe of righteousness. It’s time to walk in Kingdom Authority. Let’s be The Church.



"When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up A standard against him." Isaiah 59:19
