American Tears

I wish people would stop breaking into tears when they talk to me these days.
I am traveling across the country at the moment — Colorado to California — speaking to groups of Americans from all walks of life about the assault on liberty and the 10 steps now underway in America to a violently closed society.
The good news is that Americans are already awake: I thought there would be resistance to or disbelief at this message of gathering darkness — but I am finding crowds of people who don’t need me to tell them to worry; they are already scared, already alert to the danger and entirely prepared to hear what the big picture might look like. To my great relief, Americans are smart and brave and they are unflinching in their readiness to hear the worst and take action. And they love their country.
But I can’t stand the stories I am hearing. I can’t stand to open my email these days. And wherever I go, it seems, at least once a day, someone very strong starts to cry while they are speaking.
Kibbitz: Isaiah 41:10. We do not grieve as the world may grieve, though we must not harden our hearts to the suffering of those who are constantly subjugated to the indoctrination and propaganda of fear… Christians, in particular, must begin to take a stand against the radical evil afoot in the halls of power today, despite the fact that their citizenship is in heaven – and this place is not our home. Please pray and ask the LORD to raise up new leaders, men and women of real moral courage, willing to take a stand against tyranny and oppression. Now is the time.
