By Nothing, but by Prayer and Fasting?


Perhaps there is only one way to stem the flood of evil that is consuming our world. Individuals and small groups have been battling for decades, without much success, to raise awareness of the global hidden horrors that so few are prepared to hear. Now many are hearing things unimaginable:

Yet too many are refusing to investigate for themselves—accepting without question the voices of those pursuing and protecting power, privilege, and gain at all costs. Can such voices ever be trusted? Are we that clueless when the clues are everywhere?

In the midst of our pursuits of “bread and circuses,” we have allowed the dark forces to entrench themselves. We have not demanded justice and judgment. We have tolerated demons and they have become legion upon legion.1

So what are our options? Are we like the “faithless and perverse generation” lamented by Jesus of Nazareth?
And [a certain man said,] I brought [my son] to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith ... nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. (New Testament | Matthew 17:16-21)
Or can we be like that father who cried out, and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.”2 Or maybe we can also be like the disciples who learned that sometimes more is required in longstanding cases—when “This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.”2

By all accounts, this global web of abominations has become to pervasive and powerful for even disciples seeking truth to cast out. So, are we prepared to plead for divine intervention? Are we prepared to cast the dumb and deaf spirits out of our own lives and become dead to the disbelief, amnesia, fear, complacency, and the narcissism of our traditional / worldly cultures? Are we prepared to pray and fast for victims AND perpetrators3? on a global scale? as a global force?

LET US, in increasing numbers, choose the first weekend of every month, either a Saturday or Sunday, (whichever works best for your circumstances); and
1) dedicate that day to Prayer and Fasting, that this global abomination shall be exposed and broken; that victims find help and healing; that we be open to doing our part, whatever the cost;

2) gather at national and state capital buildings and courthouses to demand justice and accountability;

3) forgive all who have trespassed against us (because we don't know enough in this age of inter-generational trauma to individually judge; because righteous justice, judgment, and accountability will eventually be overseen by the One who knows all; and do not misunderstand: such forgiveness does not mean that the law should not seek justice asap, nor that a survivor should not cooperate toward that end by telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth because we, as a society, have an imperative duty to seek justice);

4) seek forgiveness of those we or our ancestors have trespassed against (as Wesley Clark, Jr. did at Standing Rock4);

5) take inspiration and courage from our sisters and brothers at Standing Rock;

6) watch the Amir Amirani documentary film, “We Are Many”5 and consider whether this could serve as a pattern for a global demand:

Justice for the Missing, Murdered, Trafficked, and Abused.”

1. New Testament Mark 5:8-9 ~ For [Jesus] said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And [Jesus] asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. [YET, one man had the power to cast them all out. If we are on the side of that one man, WE are more than enough.]
2. New Testament | Mark 9:17-29 ~ And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
3. Why perpetrators? 1) in the hope that some may be brought to a place of repentance and/or confession to help break this thing wide open and end it; 2) because many may be victims of MKUltra-type mind control and are not acting with agency; 3) that they be brought to a place of justice and accountability if they will not come to repentance / confession.
