"I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them” (Deuteronomy 30:19-20).The principle is a simple one.
God rendered a verdict (see previous post) of life over Texas. The ecclesia (church) and government of Texas agreed with the verdict and decreed (voted) life! Heaven and earth are witnesses of life and death - blessing and curse. We chose LIFE so heaven and earth gave witness (manifested) to life. How?
- Within hours after the Texas Legislature voted a strange weather system moved into Texas. A low pressure system moved into the state from the east and northeast and brought an abundance of rain to a drought stricken state. Along with the rain came unseasonably cool temperatures (30-40 degrees lower than normal). The rains continue. Life is being released!
- The Texas Legislature passed a bill that greatly restricts abortion but also tremendously protects the life and health of both unborn baby and the mother. Forty years ago Dallas, Texas was the "birthing" ground of Roe v Wade and a spirit of death was released into Texas and the nation. That decree of death is overruled by God's decree of life. Interestingly, yesterday, a man born in Dallas 40 years ago, Miguel Angel Trevino Morales, was captured near Nuevo Laredo. He was a notorious leader of the Zeta Cartel.
Trevino Morales, known as "Z-40," is uniformly described as one of the two most powerful cartel heads in Mexico, the leader of a corps of special forces defectors who went to work for drug traffickers, splintered off into their own cartel in 2010 and metastasized across Mexico, expanding from drug dealing into extortion, kidnapping and human trafficking. Along the way, the Zetas authored some of the worst atrocities of Mexico's drug war, leaving hundreds of bodies beheaded on roadsides or hanging from bridges, earning a reputation as perhaps the most terrifying of the country's numerous ruthless cartels.

- And, in November, we will remember the assassination of President John F. Kennedy fifty years ago. Remember, the spirit of life in God is now released. National Geographic has already announced programs which will highlight the event - but not the death of the President - but the life and hope the President was bringing to Texas in those 24-48 hours before his death. Dealey Plaza, the site of the tragedy has been totally refurbished and is the visible sign of new life in downtown Dallas.
Dealey Plaza is finally beginning to look like it was built to look, thanks to Segura. She led the effort to raise $1.5 million to restore the plaza. Dead grass, crumbling pergolas, and inoperable lights have all been repaired or replaced.

We agreed - LIFE
God sends forth LIFE!
