"Whatever is Right - A Word For Our Nation and Families"
by Crystal Wade, Hico, Texas

Intro by Kent Simpson:

Steve ShultzCrystal Wade and Hope Streams have been united with Prophetic Ministries Today for a number of successful years. When I read Crystal Wade's article "Whatever is Right," I felt as though I were walking with her and experiencing the Holy Spirit downloading these powerful words. You do not have to be a prophet, or even all that spiritual, to sense the tension in our nation right now. We all know where these acts of unrighteousness hinge, "for satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy" (John 10:10).

I believe you will agree with me that this article is loaded with words of wisdom straight from the Spirit of God, which He has crafted to keep us in righteous step with His purpose. Today is the beginning of elevating ourselves to a much higher level of regard for our fellow citizens.

"Whatever is Right - A Word For Our Nation and Families"
by Crystal Wade, Hico, Texas


I'm not a mountain climber.

My son and husband, however, share a love for climbing. Heights pose no threat to them. My son encouraged me to climb; after telling him I couldn't (it may have been more that I didn't want to!), I asked how did he climb so confidently?

"Find a firm place for your foot, and don't (whatever you do) look down. You just go up from there," he answered.

That rang in my spirit. Find a firm place for your feet. Don't look down. Only go up from there.

A Firm Place to Stand

Webster's Dictionary offers a thorough explanation of "right." Many of which are hand-in-glove with the Greek meaning. One entry Webster gave is "agreeable to a standard." The Greek offered an extensive explanation including that a person who does right is "one who acts comfortably to justice and right without any deficiency or failure."

The firm footing is the Father's standard of right - perfectly met by the Lord Jesus Christ alone. But, Father didn't leave us out! The Blood of His Son speaks up and covers over our deficiencies and failures. He uses His right to uphold us before Him. Father does have an ax to grind regarding upholding His standard of right...not with His people though.

Listen to Him. "God presides in the great assembly; He renders judgment among the 'gods': How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." Psalm 82:1-4

Not defending the cause of the weak and fatherless, the rights of the poor and oppressed, together with not rescuing and delivering "causes the foundations of the earth to be shaken" (Psalm 82:5). And payday is coming for the Father's ancient enemy regarding these things (see Psalm 82:6-8).

Foundations of the earth literally shake when right is not upheld. The fact is these things happened all throughout history (not defending, rescuing or delivering) and are happening presently. We're in a time of reaping harvest - and some fruit of national and religious history is a rise in lawlessness - turning away from His standard of right.

Don't Look Down

"When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Psalm 11:3

There are things we can do!

1. Get to firm footing personally. Characteristics of the Lord's Mercies (see Psalm 103):

- Compassionate and gracious.
- Abounding in love.
- Not harboring anger.
- Not treating as sins deserve or repaying them accordingly.
- GREAT (amazing huge enormous massive) love for us.
- Complete and total removal of sin from us.
- Compassion on the learning processes and tentative steps of us, His beloved children.

These are examples of His right standard. Family, religious, or civil fathers and mothers need to line up with the Father's right standard. When they, like us, have deficiencies and failings to take action to uphold what is right and just, it can cause damage in the psyche of the children - who Father formed to relate to Him through the lens of good families.

2. Pray for healing of the root of these wounds. For ourselves, families, His family, our nations.

3. Don't look back to the pain. That would be looking down, and we don't want to fall off the mountain.

4. Look and climb up. Now, that's in different faith action steps as the Holy Spirit leads. Some assignments He gives to repair the foundations and sub-foundations have taken years, but today we can do this together.

Look Up, Climb Up

Whatever is right...think about it:

-It is right for the sun to rise in the morning and set in the evening.
- It is right for mountains to be tall and oceans deep.
- It is right for fire to warm and ice to cool.
- It is right for stones to be hard and bunnies soft.
- It is right for birds to fly, fish to swim, and people to walk again.
- It is right for sweets to satisfy and nourish (honey, ripe fruit).
- It is right for beauty to go to the core and strength to do much more.
- It is right for needs to be met.
- It is right for pain to have a point (labor and delivery, growth of character).
- It is right for babies to be born to a mother and father who love and want them.
- It is right for children to be protected, provided for, and nurtured in their distinctive personalities, then launched into adulthood with blessing.
- It is right for each person to learn and grow into maturity, through the seasons of life.
- It is right for marriage between one man and one woman to be safe, strong, sweet, faithful, true and mighty.
- It is right for grandchildren to be celebrated.
- It is right for grandparents (or those of grandparent age) to have treasures of time, wisdom, faith, courage, and spiritual strength to give.
- It is right for the younger generations to receive, respect and value the treasures they are giving.
- It is right to defend life because life is precious.

Whatever is right - think about it. Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."

Prayer Response...Pray With Me:

Father, thank You for the beautiful, strong standard of what is right. Thank You for Your Son who upheld it perfectly - and welcomes us to walk with Him in His successes, not our failures. Thank You that it is true that You do not count our sins against us, or hold anger against us, nor condemn us. THAT is the work of Your ancient enemy - the effect of which is his inroads through our wrong responses which create "crooked places" in our neuropaths. That is not Your work.

Father, please take Your big sword and separate our souls and spirits, joints and marrow from our view of You, ourselves and others that is not based on love and truth. We yield to You from our hearts and invite You to take out the wires and other malware implanted in our spirit, soul and body, birthright, and timeline that kept us connected to the flow of pain. We yield those painful experiences to You, and ask for Your healing to the core.

Please cleanse and heal the core wounds and all through the layers, and connect us back to You. Connect us to the truth of You as our Good Father and the truth of ourselves as good sons and daughters. Fill us in those places with Your Holy Spirit, seal and rearguard them.

Grant us grace to quickly bounce back as we grow in understanding of who You really are. Grant us grace to bounce back quickly as we understand who we really are in Your light. Grant us grace to quickly move in this direction for other people - to hear and see others as You want us to see them, so we can respond in healing, helpful ways.

Father, help us stand on firm footing. Help us remember to not look down. Help us focus and have the want to - to climb upward to the places You've called us to stand.

Father, grant us Your wisdom to know what our individual parts to do are, as the foundations are shaken. Grant us courage to do it. Help us remember what You want us to remember and forget what You want us to forget. Help us remember to spend time thinking about what is right and Your heart behind it, so we can grow strong like those oaks of righteousness.

On behalf of our families, cities, nations, we are asking for Your intervention as Father. Forgive us for we have many deficiencies and failures in upholding Your standard of right. We confess the Lord Jesus Christ's Blood to cover these. We ask for YOUR healing virtue to flow to the emotions, minds, souls, bodies, and spirits of our families, our cities, and our nations to set the record RIGHT.

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.
