I just wanted to take a few minutes to say it’s a sad day in our nation, state and local court systems. When a parent here in Lincoln County files papers and it costs them about $174 to get their kid help that’s hooked on meth and the court system fails them because they want proof. How about a child that lost 90 pounds in two months.

Whatever happened to a court ordered drug test. Folks from Justice Court to Chancery Court, we must do better. I know our system is in overload and people have asked for help. I am the one who told the Daddy to file the papers. I’m sorry now that I did. Our only hope is in the Lord.

Look unto the hills where your help comes from, for our help comes from the Lord.

I’m asking people who believe in the power of prayer to begin asking God’s spirit to visit us, challenge us and change us. It’s not the office of government that needs change, it’s the hearts of those that sit in authority that need change. We must continue at all costs to walk in love and forgiveness. Due to the crime rate in the City of Brookhaven our hope is not in law enforcement but God. He has guards called angels. He, God, sent them to stop the lions’ mouths in Daniel’s den, he can also send them to stand guard over our city.

Don’t you think it’s God’s time to protect our city? We must ask him. As you already know man has tried and cannot. Man has turned to buying more guns, drugs, pushing and killing for control of territory boundries. “Declares the Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof and all that dwell therein,” Psalms 24:1.

Our battle is not flesh and blood, which means each other, but pulling down strongholds through prayer, by allowing ourself to speak his work not ours.

Our promise is a time of refreshing that shall come from the presence of the Lord.
