by Apostle Gabriel Cross
The Love of God has broken through the enemies of our soul and barriers of our bloodlines.
I am completely ignorant of what George Floyd was thinking or praying when he was knee held and asphyxiated on the ground. I do not know specifically, what mantles or spiritual significance were on his life.
However, I do know something of God was definitely on his life.
I believe God has used his life and untimely murder to birth unusual unity. Not conformity but an unfamiliar unity unmanufactured by man. A unity not limited to America but all around the globe.
The tragedy of his death, is extremely devastating and severely traumatizing for Mr. Floyd, his family, community, and race. However, the impact is unfathomable, to see the peaceful protests, with a rainbow of color participants, the major companies and commercials supporting “Black Lives Matter.” The God-fearing policemen kneeling to pray in honor and respect. The many artists who have used their craft to display their passion, compassion, and care. In the midst of a pandemic, opposing threats of violence, a besmirched and discolored history of slavery, we come together as one.
This day, my eyes and my heart are filled with many tears, many reflections, and many emotions. I have to pause and thank God for my life, my family, my race and for my spiritual family. I would never use the phrase “Black Lives Matter”, in an ostentatious, condescending of other races, or feeling of superiority.
Rather, a revelation, encouragement, and sobering mind of humility, after many years of racial rejection, spiritual rejection and yes, even self-rejection. From many directions, I look around and see racial acceptance. In the most unlikely and remote places, I hear not hate speeches, but speeches of sincere benevolence, ardent consideration, and tender mercy.
Then to look at the many young people, their innocent bravery, eagerness to heal, and willingness to change the systemic racism and ill treatment of blacks in America. My heart is so full, abounding, and bursting with joy.
I have genuine spiritual sons and daughters of many races, and they know I love them, all individually, without respect or regards to the pigmentations of their skin. I endeavor to live holy and follow peace with all men, for without holiness no man shall see the Lord. (Hebrews 12:14) I have not always succeeded but I refuse to stop yielding to the Holy Spirit who empowers me.
Beloved, something has broken in the heart of humanity. It is huge, it is God’s love for us, ALL OF US. The love that knows no boundaries, sees and embraces all races equally, and loves without reason, unconditionally. This is the pure agape Love of Abba, our Father.
I am so grateful to see, hear, and feel the love and acceptance. I stand for righteousness and justice for all. Although, I am not oblivious nor inexperienced with the prejudiced and unfair treatment due to the pigmentation of my skin.
I am fighting to love and not fighting to be right. I am moving forward to live with all humanity. For if one is always looking backwards and is fixated on the past, one will become history.
We must move beyond any prejudice that is deep within our bloodline. Prejudice means that you judge someone out of your own background, wounds, and ideology. It is prime time for these judgements to leave the body of Christ.
Yes, Abba, I repent of all my sin, and for any part I played in it. I rededicate my life to you God. I pledge my allegiance to Christ, and for the sacrifice of his life, for all nations, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
