Furnace Prayers: Woe to you SCOTUS. and Woe to us too

Father, Lord, and Holy Spirit,

Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord. Blessed are they that move with compassion.

Who hasn’t heard of the “Good Samaritan”?

The context and the players:
Jesus, the Scribes and Pharisees and the lawyers: all keepers of The Law were coming against You, intentionally trying to find a way to catch You and prosecute You. You knew it! You rebuked them for their hypocrisy. They hung on Your every word, “lying in wait for You” to catch You. (Luke 10-11).

Is there a Parallel?
The “keepers of the law” here in the U.S. We surely have lawyers, lying in wait, repeatedly trying to “catch” something to prosecute both President Trump and the Constitution.

Meanwhile (Chapter 12) "innumerable multitudes" gathered. That’s when You said,

Luke 12:1-3
1 Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Is there a Parallel?
The hypocrisy stands out. It screams at all who are paying attention. The ability to project on those who do not agree, ALL that they are specifically doing…it shouts from every corner and exposes the lies and deception.

But all will be brought into the Light. There will be no darkness at all, when You expose them. Uncover all that must be revealed that those, especially the children, may be set free. Proclaim it quickly, O God who hears.

Their actions:
Father, the lawmakers! Their actions said it all!
They were coming from Jerusalem. A man was stripped, wounded, and left for half dead. A priest saw him and went to the other side of the road! Not wanting to look! Then the Levite, the other set of lawyers, looked and passed by. Finally the Samaritan, the ones most demeaned by the “keepers of the law” …had compassion.

Is there a Parallel?
The courts have repeatedly avoided seeing the evidence. SCOTUS is no exception. Finding excuse after excuse not to look! But the least likely…is that the people. Is that the multitude…the people who care about our Constitution? Is it our Constitution that is lying in the ditch, stripped of it’s power and integrity, wounded by those legislatures who have “moved to the other side of the road”?

Will SCOTUS take this case? How this moves forward will reveal all. How these individuals vote will tell us who will be faithful stewards. When we know there is a problem, we have to move responsibly. The same goes for the children who have been compromised.

Requests:
Lord Jesus, You were clear:

Luke 12:1-3
1 Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
AND
Matthew 9:36
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

We are to move with compassion. We are to be responsible stewards to our “neighbors.”

I ask that You:

• Make good on Your promise to reveal what is going on in the hidden places, here in the U.S. and the world.
  
  
• Reveal it, that we may see what has been right in front of our eyes.
  
  
• Reveal to us where we have “moved across the road” ...where we have looked the other way …where we have not been responsible stewards of this nation, our Constitution, and our children.
  
  
• Send a movement of repentance and anoint us with compassion throughout this land. Recover the children. O God, have mercy and recover the children.

The “Good Samaritan” gave his time, his resources and his finances. May we do likewise.
