OPINION: Loosening Gun Laws Not the Answer to Help Outgunned Police
In the latest mass shooting in the U.S., a Louisville officer who graduated just 10 days earlier from the police academy was shot in the head.
Officer Nickolas Wilt was wounded as he ran toward the gunshots police were facing as they arrived. He is listed in critical condition six days after the shooting.
Wilt’s body camera shows him following his training officer, Cory “CJ” Galloway, up the…

Great Power Transfer
“I will clothe Him with Your robe and tie Your sash around Him. I will put Your authority in His hand, and He will be a Father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. I will place on His shoulder the key to the house of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open.” Isaiah 22:21-22BSB
There is a position in kingdoms of one called a ‘chamberlain.’ If you ever watch videos of people snooping around abandoned castles in Europe, you’ll see piles of keys, one for each room of the castle, plus every building upon the estate. The ‘chamberlain’ was a person who carried all the important keys to the King’s palace, gates to the city, treasury, offices of government. “For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder,” Isaiah 9:6ESV prophesied who our text’s ‘chamberlain’ would be, the One called the Christ— Jesus.
Those keys belonging to Jesus— our ‘chamberlain’ —were keys He transferred to the intercessors, the obedient ones, —Believers who are awake enough to use them. “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” Matthew 16:19ESV
What is binding and loosening? I imagine this to be like rodeo riders. They lasso a bull; wrap the rope around the saddle’s horn; wrestle the bull down to the ground, and then wrap its four hooves quickly, binding it. We have the authority to take down every demon from hell, binding it with our words rendering them iimpotent.
Years ago, I attended a KCM Believers’ Convention in Butler’s church at Detroit, while Lou worked there. North Korea was threatening to send a nuclear bomb to the US, showing off their power with test rockets. Copeland asked all attendees to agree with him, (see Matthew 18:19.) As we prayed and agreed with Copeland, he bound the leader of North Korea and their ability to bomb the USA, from that day unto forever. Since then, the threat hasn’t risen again. What an awesome example of the power of agreement and binding. Why did this binding come to pass? Bombs and threats aren’t allowed in heaven.
In heaven we find peace, joy, love, and the power of God. We ‘loose’ or ‘free’ the things available from heaven. By loosening, we’re inviting Holy Spirit to work in situations bringing the right things to pass.
After Jesus’ resurrection a great power transfer happened. “…All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” Matthew 28:18-19ESV. Jesus gave all of His power to His church, His bride, His ecclesia— us. In Luke 10:19 He had delegated all of His authority and power to His disciples. Never once did He recant on the power He gave them and on to us who believe.
We’re now the ‘chamberlains’ holding the keys of the world, our nations, our families and churches —having been given great authority with great power transferred to overcome all of satan’s works in every mountain of society. The power is in our tongues —our words— our binding and loosening— praying scriptures.
Time is here to get out our sword of the Lord. the Bible. God has word work for us to do. He’s asking us to be His mouthpieces releasing His will and His government across our planet. Binding all the terrorist organizations, wars, one world government agendas now in motion. Will you do as He has asked? It’s your choice. You choose.
LET’S PRAY: LORD God we can do all You have given us to do with Your help and strength. Awaken us fully to be obedient, fulfill our part of these battles, and destroy satan’s works, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

The more I see the phrase “eldest daughter syndrome” the higher it raises my hackles. It’s just parentification. It’s parentification and if you call it parentification it’s a lot easier to explain, and it’s a lot easier for the younger siblings or only children and children of any gender to identify it happening to them too.
Like I get that oldest sibs are more likely to be treated as accessory parents of their youngers, and I get that in a lot of families girls are pushed into caregiver roles, but fucking hell man parentification can and does happen to any kid regardless of birth order and gender, and while situations vary from family to family, there isn’t really anything the parentified oldest daughters are experiencing that the other parentified kids aren’t.
