< http:\/\/ www.blueletterbible.org\/lang\/lexicon\/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G1114&t=KJV ><\/a>).<\/p>\nThe first definition right out of\u00a0the box for this Greek word\u00a0is “a wailer”\u00a0and “a howler”. Remember, impostors lie and manipulate, so this wailing and howling is not\u00a0the genuine cry of pain or remorse—no, the wail and howl of an impostor is a grand charade in\u00a0the interest of\u00a0furthering his agenda to con and deceive. Would you be surprised to learn that one of the strategies\u00a0which activist Saul Alinsky\u00a0included in his book,\u00a0Rules for Radicals<\/em>, to force societal change\u00a0was to loudly,\u00a0disruptively, and continuously complain–to howl and wail–against the status quo?<\/p>\nAnother definition of\u00a0go\u0113s<\/em><\/em>\u00a0is an enchanter, who,\u00a0according to the source, would utter incantations in a sort of a howl.<\/p>\nBut to me, the most intriguing definition of all is included in the second\u00a0meaning along with enchanter: a juggler.\u00a0You may wonder how this word, juggler, could possibly be\u00a0related to\u00a0impostor or seducer. This is where it gets very interesting.<\/p>\n
Think about this: information—extremely\u00a0important<\/em>\u00a0information—gets thrown at Americans constantly. Any attempt to make sense of current events is dizzying and makes you feel as if you are watching…well, a multi-object juggling routine in hyper-speed! You start to learn about one change in society and\u00a0before you know it,\u00a0a second, and then a third, and then a fourth fly into view. Changes in health\u00a0care laws, changes in gun laws, changes in privacy concerns\u00a0for travel, communication, etc.,\u00a0changes in the military, changes in taxation, changes in prices, changes in the genetic makeup of food, changes in\u00a0voting laws, changes in immigration, changes in age-old marriage definitions, changes in regulations, changes in China, Russia, and the middle-east,\u00a0predicted changes in America’s status as\u00a0the world’s economic leader and number 1 super-power, changes in what is commonly accepted as right and wrong—all these things and so much more fly at us from every direction at\u00a0the\u00a0speed of light.<\/p>\nMost of us do not have the reading capacity of JFK who was reported to read four newspapers in 15 minutes every day. And yet the juggling of volumes of important, highly detailed\u00a0events\u00a0before our eyes daily intensifies more and more, mocking our inability to\u00a0comprehend even one piece, let alone\u00a0grasp the entire scope of information.<\/p>\n
Most\u00a0people just throw\u00a0their\u00a0hands up in the air, let the info fall to the ground, and walk away. Who\u00a0can keep up with it all?<\/p>\n
I propose that this is by design to keep\u00a0men and women\u00a0of good will and honest heart off-balance as they attempt to bring order to chaos.<\/p>\n
But I believe with all my heart that there is a strategy from the Throne Room of God to empower His people to deal effectively in the face of\u00a0this\u00a0constant juggling act of disastrous, poisonous events.<\/p>\n
It was rumored that baseball legend Ted Williams was able to see, as if frozen in space, the seams on any fastball hurled his way. Could it be that God has been\u00a0“magnifying your vision” with one or two of the very\u00a0serious issues facing our nation?\u00a0Are you passionate about any of the above listed changes going on in our culture? What angers you? What makes you uneasy? What is attempting to rob your peace? Could it\u00a0 be that the issues that bug you the most are the “seams on the baseball” flying at you? Could it be that the Living God has prompted your ire and is giving you the assignment to hit that issue out of the park in consecrated, heartfelt\u00a0prayer?<\/p>\n
It is my belief that God’s will in these difficult days is to freely send assignments to His men and women, boys and girls, “freezing in space” for each one of us the details about whatever He prompts us to pray for. Look. He’s so much greater than any impostor, seducer,\u00a0or juggler of oppression that ever existed.<\/p>\n
So when you see alarming information being juggled at warp-speed before your eyes, thank God that He has His “Ted Williams” prayer people stepping up to\u00a0the plate\u00a0all over the nation and around the world, ready, waiting, bats in hand, anticipating those fastballs, and, seeing the seams, prayer muscles bulging, swing with a force that could only come from God and connect—sending those balls way out of the park.<\/p>\n
Get ready to play ball, Ted Williams—you.<\/p>\n
