MOTHER EMANUEL A.M.E. CHURCH HAS THE VICTORY
As horrific as the massacre at Mother Emanuel may appear or may now seem to be, when you split the loving atoms of Jesus-enriched humanity, its irradiation overspreads the earth, even to the pulling down of strongholds.
Such were our Bible-studying brothers and sisters who died, gloriously, triumphantly that the gospel of Jesus Christ might more boldly abound for good!
To die for Christ is eternal gain!
So, dry your eyes pick up your sword, strap on your armor, and go forth into the highways and byways and confront evil in its lair, everywhere! God's got this!
"There is a sweet, sweet spirit in this place, and I know that it's the presence of the Lord!"
Roof thought he and his "mission" might invoke an American race war--fool!
Instead, what we are here witnessing is the early dissolution of his utterly hateful racist idiocy, and its symbols at the home of the 1861 secession Charleston, SC, within sight of Fort Sumter and Sullivan Island, where 40% of the 400,000 slaves imported into America disembarked. Storm Roof's "mission" met African Methodist Episcopal Christians who were loving missionaries for Jesus!
This outcome with Roof has already been written in the book of Revelations where Satan attacks the churches and fails!
Dylann Storm Roof has also failed, like Saul who became Paul, like Judas' disenthrall! Roof's Confederacy too will fall through the inverse intercession of the Holy Spirit. wonderful!
