“Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees,
Who write misfortune,
Which they have prescribed
2 To rob the needy of justice,
And to take what is right from the poor of My people,
That widows may be their prey,
And that they may rob the fatherless.
3 What will you do in the day of punishment,
And in the desolation which will come from afar?
To whom will you flee for help?
And where will you leave your glory?
4 Without Me they shall bow down among the prisoners,
And they shall fall among the slain.”
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
But His hand is stretched out still.
I was standing before a judge in 1985 with a drug addiction out of this world. The day of my arrest while sitting in a room as they added up the merchandise I'd stolen, I looked down at my small wrists that were connected to handcuffs, then noticed, though the handcuffs were as tight as they could get, I was still able to slide them off. So when I saw my chance I made my escape. I didn't make it far, and after being tackled by security I no longer had my freedom or my front tooth that was chipped badly from the fall. I had even made the police officer so mad at my brainy idea that he threatened to give me a royal beating when we got to the station. God was on my side. During our drive there he asked was I high. I responded, out my mind. So he had mercy on me. However, the judge didn't. After briefing my file and commending my mother and father for their careers, he made it up in his mind I was a disgrace to them. He had never once asked what brought my addiction on or even if I wanted help. I was just mandated 2 years in prison and dismissed from his courtroom. I was a fatherless child who's mother had just stolen my 100,000 dollar inheritance left by my dad. Our justice systems are mounted up on man-made laws and though God asks us to obey all authority He also asks that we set our laws to biblical standards. Christ answers to God, Man answers to Christ, and woman answers to man. God also states, our higher ups will leverage us off if we don't come to His word and be freed.
(Luke 11:39-48) 39 Then the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness. 40 Foolish ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But rather give alms of such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.
42 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.”45 Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, “Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also.”
46 And He said, “Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs.
Demand Justice People.
Blessings to all as we stand for justice in God Almighty,
