Intro:
In the past week, Texas was drowned in a flood so powerful it erased homes, livelihoods, and lives. The cries came quickly from pulpits and platforms alike: “God is punishing us.” But let’s be honest—with ourselves and with history. This flood wasn’t the wrath of God. It was the reflection of man.
Another Layer of Light
Reflection:
Every time disaster strikes, the same lie resurfaces: that God is angry, and we are the target. That floods come because of gay pride, or hurricanes roar because women demand autonomy. That’s not prophecy—that’s propaganda.
Jesus never said disasters were punishments. He never stood in a storm and claimed it was because someone loved differently. What he did say was: “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” It wasn’t a promise of some distant afterlife—it was a call to build heaven here and now.
But we’ve chosen hell.
We could have paradise. Jesus showed us the way: love thy neighbor, feed the hungry, care for the poor, heal the sick, speak truth to power. Instead, we’ve followed greed. We’ve bowed to billionaires and worshipped fossil fuels. We ignore science, mock compassion, and silence anyone who dares speak up.
And the Earth responds.
This flood in Texas was not God’s wrath—it was man’s reflection. It is what happens when we put profit over planet, when we ignore the sacred balance. It’s not divine punishment—it’s ecological cause and effect. Climate science has spoken for decades, but we’ve plugged our ears with wealth and distraction.
Even the Gnostics knew: the material world is distorted by ignorance and arrogance. The demiurge—the false god of control and domination—still rules through systems of exploitation. But Sophia still whispers. She calls us to awaken the divine spark and reclaim our birthright: not as destroyers, but as co-creators of heaven.
Insight:
Heaven is not a location—it’s a vibration, a way of being. Jesus offered us the blueprint. But we are bulldozing it for short-term gain. Faith is not about waiting for a miracle—it’s about becoming the miracle. The flood is not God’s vengeance. It’s the culmination of our choices.
We have everything we need to create Eden. But we keep choosing Babylon.
Closing Thought:
God is not in the storm. God is in the response. In the love that rescues. In the hands that rebuild. In the spirit that refuses to let lies drown out truth.
The kingdom of heaven is still close at hand. But it cannot come unless we choose it. So ask yourself:
Are you building heaven—or feeding the flames of hell?
🌿 “You carry the divine spark—let it speak.”
