Justice Needed


Stories of devastation and tragedy continue to pour in regarding Hurricane Helene. The relief efforts could now be complicated by shortages created by the dockworkers’ strike. This will not only cause many shortages, but some are saying it will cost the American economy billions of dollars a day. I certainly don’t know enough to have a position on either side of the issues being argued. However, the timing is unfortunate. The Biden/Harris administration could have forced a 2-month delay through the Taft-Hartley Act, but they need union support for the elections. The union itself could have waited. Neither occurred, and the results could now exacerbate an already tragic situation. Pray for a quick end to the strike.


Here are some firsthand reports of the horrific suffering from the hurricane, taken from X (captured 10/3/2024):


“In Swannanoa, some have lost everything: home, car, and all personal belongings. We worked for two days cutting trees, moving boulders, mud and debris from our road so that people could get off our mountain to either flee the area or find food, water, and other supplies they need to survive the days ahead. Entire neighborhoods washed away. Cars are in trees. Houses and businesses washed down the river. Highways and private roads are gone…”


“My husband works for North Carolina DHHS state police in Black Mountain. I hear the emergency traffic all day. My son works for Henderson County Sheriff’s office and said they are still pulling bodies from the Swannanoa River and that there has been over 1000 deaths so far in Buncombe County alone. [This is much higher than what is reported on TV - time will tell.] Hospital morgues are full. They have brought in refrigerated trailers to store bodies and transport them to other areas. I had friends in Grovemont community two streets down from me that didn’t survive a mudslide that took their home with them in it. My cousin, who was a Fairview Fireman, lost his life and his nephew’s life, and almost lost his son, as well, trying to save their neighbors in a mudslide…”


Speaking of ongoing efforts to feed people, one person said: “A church made peanut butter sandwiches and brought them, again there wasn’t enough. Another person slaughtered one of their cows, and the church was grilling it to feed people. They were giving small pieces of meat the size of a sausage patty. I went to the back of the line 3 times because of children getting in the line behind me. I left with nothing because a mother with a small child ran up behind me, asking if her little boy could get a sandwich before they were gone. You kind of lose your appetite when you try and process what is going on around you.”


With hundreds killed over six states, thousands without food, water, shelter, and power, and no end in sight to the suffering, many are now criticizing Mayorkas-led FEMA. In an article published by Blaze News, Joseph McKinnon states:


“The trouble, according to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, is that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) lacks the requisite funds.


“In response to Mayorkas turning out empty pockets, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) wrote, ‘This is easy. Mayorkas and FEMA — immediately stop spending money on illegal immigration resettlement and redirect those funds to areas hit by the hurricane. Put Americans first.’


“Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) tweeted, ‘FEMA spending over a billion dollars on illegals while they leave Americans stranded and without help is treasonous. U.S. citizens are dying. Pray for our country, folks.’


"'The Biden-Harris FEMA spent over $1 BILLION on funding illegal aliens. America LAST,’ wrote Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.).


“’Let me translate: We are racking up trillions in debt with all the money that our money printer prints that we then take back from law-abiding American citizens like you but we exist to spend it on anything other than helping you,’ wrote Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson.


“Elon Musk simply expressed disbelief, writing, ‘Wow.’


“While the DHS continues sinking taxpayer funds into aiding illegal aliens, FEMA will make a one-time $750 payment available to some qualifying Americans in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia so that they can buy food, water, and other supplies.”(1)


It is hard to imagine a more inept and corrupt U.S. government than we now have in portions of ours. Millions of Americans are paying for politicians’ insatiable lust for power and money. In exchange for future votes, they’ve allowed hundreds of thousands of fentanyl deaths, missing children numbering in the tens of thousands, thousands of criminals and terrorists into our nation, and entire cities destroyed. Our bumbling leaders are the laughing stock of the world; “peace through strength” has been replaced by “war through weakness,” and common sense - let alone wisdom - has been rejected for lunacy. And one more thing, many living in the hard-hit areas could now see challenges to voting in November. Some are no longer receiving mail service or have nearby places to vote, if they could even get there. Pray regarding this! 


The good news? (Yes, there is good news.) Millions of Americans have awakened from their stupor. They see the corruption, are aware of the deep state, know our government and many agencies are broken, and are awake to the rise of Marxism in our land. And most importantly, millions of them are praying. 


Deep in their core, most Americans believe in God and know He can do the impossible. They are also becoming increasingly aware that we cannot turn things around without Him. The process will not be easy - this we also know - but an “appeal to Heaven” is going forth, and the God who birthed our nation will save our nation. I conclude with the words of Founding Father, Samuel Adams:


“We have proclaimed to the world our determination ‘to die freemen, rather than to live slaves.’ We have appealed to Heaven for the justice of our cause, and in Heaven we have placed our trust.” [Samuel Adams, in a speech to the Second

Continental Congress on August 1, 1776.](2)


Keep praying, church. It birthed our nation and will save our nation. And it is preserving a worldwide harvest. 


Pray with me:


Father, we continue to lift up those suffering from the effects of hurricane Helene. We pray for provisions to get to those who need them, medical help to those who need it, and comfort to those who have lost so much. There are doubtless those who are still waiting to be found; please work miracles and enable searchers to find them. Many agencies and volunteers are working hard; please enable them to accomplish what is needed.


We continue to ask You for the transformation needed in America. Cleanse and heal our land. Do whatever is necessary to transform this nation. Give us righteous leaders in this election. We appeal to You for the salvation of America and the recovery of our destiny - representing Christ throughout the world. We know we are not the only people with this privilege, but we do play a significant role and want to do our part. Please restore this.


These things we pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. 


Our decree:


“We have appealed to Heaven for the justice of our cause, and in Heaven we have placed our trust.”

My daughter in Simpsonville South Carolina, was told her friends parents in North Carolina were stranded on a hilltop. A private hilicopter was given clearance from air traffic control to rescue them. The pilot rescued the women, then was told by government officials , he would be arrested if he reduced the man. The private pilot asked why he would be arrested and the government said he was in their air traffic way. So the pilot had to leave the man on the mountain.

Agreed the corruption is unbelievable, call your rep, demand they use our tax money for US citizens. The House, lead by Mike Johnson, including his vote, voted to pass a CR to continue the same funding going, fully knowing FEMA funds are being used for supporting illegals. Reps. Crane and Burchett voted against the CR, may God bless them and their courage.

Adding to our prayers the military bases in the devastated areas rebuke the unspoken orders to not send their helicopters in for rescue & supply; that the private outfits continue to be able to do this with our donations for fuel, food, water, meds, etc. Thank you Lord, for Dutch’s keeping us informed; bless him and his abundantly with needs to continue this passion.
