I saw a sermon last night by a Pastor’s son who has been in leadership for many years in Los Angeles. His message was a call to a passive response regarding the recent events of police brutality upon Black people. He ascribed to the methods of nonviolent protest saying instead we should pray.
Apostle Stephen Gardener said “The seat of the Intercessor is one of authority and power.
We also know the Word says “Men ought always to pray” (Luke 18:1). I believe that prayer changes things and scripture also says that “So, too, faith without works is dead” (James 2:17).
However, those of us not called to the front lines on the streets still have a part to play and an effort to contribute and it is on the front lines of the Heavenlies. The recent developments in the Black Lives Matter movement show us that protest brings a climate for change. I strongly feel therefore, I must have action with my passion. So let’s march and let us also pray, for it is written, “The kingdom of God suffers violence (force) and the violent (forceful, unrelenting, committed, and passionate) take it by force (Matthew 11:12).
