Hey Pastor John,
Yesterday, while talking with a mom of one of our patients I found out that when a child turns 13 yrs old, parents no longer have rights over their medical chart. The chart is literally locked until the 13 yr. old completes a form that allows their parents the right to their medical records. I was completely shocked, I’m not sure how long this has been in effect but it really took me back.
I had this thought: the spirit of antichrist is a rebellious spirit. It hates righteous authority. It hated the authority that God gave His son, it hates the authority that Jesus has given you, Pastor John and it will do anything to tear it down. It’s so bold now that it is going even further, to the natural God given right to a parent for their child.
It really put the fear of God deeper in my heart, Pastor John. It made me pray for Jesus to take away all rebelliousness in me and to give me a heart to humbly follow the authority that He has put into my life to lead, guide and direct me. I want to be firmly planted in Jesus; He is our rock and our foundation. Times are coming, and are coming quickly, that we will not have time to think or contemplate what to do. If we are not founded in Jesus we’ll fall no matter what our good intentions are. These are very humbling thoughts.
