Hello everyone! Let's lift up 
**Praise Reports & Requests** 
What's on your heart today?I recently had an encounter that reminded me of a past similar experience.
As I sat in a Houston area park, on a mid September day in 2016, I was taken aback by an assault levied on me, by a four year old. I know, right?! I had to laugh at that one myself. Walking with her mother, who also had an infant in tow, was a little girl seemingly reluctant to follow her mother's instructions. I initially took notice of the child because she kept saying "No;" not at all unusual behavior for a child her age; yet, diversionary, non the less. Suddenly, the little girl picked up a handful of rocks, ran toward me, then with all her little four year old might, hurled them at me. Uninjured, as most of the rocks fell to the ground before reaching me; I was still startled. Though people nearby gasped at the mother's repugnant parenting, I motioned for a hug from the little girl; a risky gesture for sure. But, to my surprise, she walked over and gave me hug. Howbeit, though somewhat expected, the mother became indignant with me, and dragged the little girl away.
Later that day, I found myself in front of the HPD headquarters, downtown. No doubt, looking crazy to passersby as I walked back and forth in front of the building, I began laying hands on the outer structure. After doing this three times, I was led to cover the city with an online prayer. The next day, while eating lunch, I noticed that people were looking at me, more strangely than usual . . . uncomfortable. Not yet having seen nor heard a television or radio report, I had no idea what had transpired. As "coincidence" would have it, the food court had televisions tuned in to the ongoing coverage of a local mass shooting. It was being reported that earlier that morning, a sniper, with an arsenal, had randomly opened fire on motorists during the rush hour commute. Though the gunman, a disgruntled attorney, was killed during the shootout with police, no one else had been seriously injured or killed. Sometimes you just gotta say, "THANK YA!"
Now, back then I was led to lay hands on the outer structure of a police department; but, I believe in this season, from the Supreme Court to the smallest police department, God is signaling for transformation of the inner structure of this nation's policing system. While I am not in favor of doing away with police departments, I do believe that, because God has covered them for so long, it displeases Him to see the injustices perpetrated by some among them, void of penalty or reform.
As hurtful as my heart had perceived that little girl's rock assault to be, in that moment, being reminded of the rocks thrown at Jesus, by the Chief priests, I accepted that perhaps God used that incident as a sign of the hail of bullets that would permeate the atmosphere on the following morning... I therefore counted it all joy.
Genesis 50: 20 "But as for you, you meant evil against me; BUT GOD meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive."
To the citizens of this nation, especially this generation's Chief Priests and the sheep of the fold thereof (y'all know better): DO NOT! I repeat, DO NOT! invest in this leader's Akeldama or worthless treaties.
COMMENTARY: I shared this story, not to chastise, but to delineate: Neither one's appearance nor circumstance dictates his or her purpose in God's plans. Whether it be parent, police, president, or priest, even those who govern over us can sometimes, due to selfish motivation or subverted judgement, mislead us to do wrong. I don't pretend to know how God will carry out His plans; but, when we have the mind of Christ, our only intent is to do the will of The FATHER. Though weapons are formed against us, it is never God's will for his servants to be harmed: "Touch not my anointed and do My Prophets no harm." Sadly, many have labeled me "negative," admonishing me to speak positive things, but I can only speak to what God has already foretold, in the season He instructs me to do so. Repercussion in this dynamic is not limited to individual. Because vengeance belongs to God, when Jesus' disciples are not well received, cities and nations pay. IT'S GOD'S CALL.

Thank You LORD!
