Occupy Hell Street

As Christians, we are called to Occupy Hell Street. We are commanded to invade and disrupt this enemy territory of the demonic Domination Systems (see Walter Wink). We are to be subversive within the sphere of Satan, the realm of repressive powers arrayed against the poor, the feeble minded, the weak, those who have no one to protect them.

Occupy Hell Street. We rush to do battle against the forces of darkness in this world. Victory is assured as we speak and act upon God's Word. At some point in the future, Christ will return and set up the heavenly kingdom upon the earth. Until that blessed day, we struggle against evil and stupidity and spiritual blindness.

Occupy Hell Street. How? Heal the sick. Proclaim liberty to the captives. Preach the good news of the cross of Christ. Challenge deceptions and scams. Expose false prophets and pseudo-Christs. Confront bad pastors. Punish perverted priests. Demand that Wall Street crooks go to prison.

Occupy Hell Street. But be prepared for violent, lethal retaliation.

I woke up this morning and heard Glenn Beck on the radio saying an Occupy Phoenix statement was discovered that dealt with When To Kill A Cop. Allegedly, this document gave details on why armed and lethal resistance may be justified when a government agent tries to stop you from pursuing an inalienable right. You may have to kill them to maintain your rights.

This made me think of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Gandhi and Jesus. I thought about how peaceful protests must remain peaceful, even when violence is used against you.

I thought about Christians who own guns and brag about how they will kill any agents of the New World Order or the Anti-Christ who try to harm them.

Then I thought about how violent resistance is basically the decision to refuse to be a martyr. To be willing to kill for a cause, but not to die for a cause.

Jesus said "Resist not evil with evil. Put away thy sword. Turn the other cheek. Blessed be the peacemakers. Bless them that curse you."

Martyr. Die for a cause. Thou shalt not commit murder.

Sign me up for martyrdom, if it comes to that. I agree with the pacifist heroes and peacemakers. I stand against the warmongers, slasher films, violent video games, and brutal sports.

We Christians must be willing to be inflammatory in our speech, rushing to do battle against the forces of darkness -- and willing and ready to die as a martyr for our cause.

Occupy Hell Street my brothers and sisters in Christ -- and do not fear death or martyrdom. It may be coming sooner than you think.
