COVER ME!

[prophetess m. brignac]

IT HAS BEEN, OBSERVED TO BE, THE "NATURE OF THE BEAST", THAT WHEN ONE'S "FELLOW" OR "BROTHER' HAS TAKEN A HIT, "FALLEN", GOTTEN CAUGHT UP IN A "SCANDAL", OR DESCENDED FROM GRACE IN SOME FORM, THAT WE FORM A "POSSE" OF ACCCUSERS, PERSECUTORS, AND LYNCHMEN, MUCH LIKE THE HYENAS, LIONS, AND OTHER ASSORTED SAVAGE "JUNGLE" CREATURES OF THE LAND. THE DIFFERENCE IS, THOUGH, THAT WE ALSO, HAVE THE NATURE, THROUGH OUR REGENERATION AND CONVERSION, OF A COMPASSIONATE, MERCIFUL, GRACIOUS SAVIOUR, CHRIST,SO WE SHOULD'VE LOST OUR "THIRST" AND "TASTE" FOR BLOOD, CALAMITY, AND "GORE", RIGHT ALONG WITH OUR PREDISPOSITION FOR PORNOGRAPHY," HOT BODIES", "COGNAC", AND "GOOD WEED"! THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT SEEING A BROTHER "OVERTAKEN IN A FAULT" THAT STIRS UP SOMETHING PRIMITIVE IN US, AND MAKES US FEEL "SUPERSAVED" AND SUPERIOR, BECAUSE IT WASN'T US WHO GOT" CAUGHT OUT THERE",... "YET"! THE NEWS MEDIA GOES TO GREAT EXPENSE AND EVEN GREATER LENGTHS TO BE THE FIRST ON THE SCENE, WITH ADVANCED CAMERAS, RECORDERS AND SOUND SYSTEMS TO "COVER" THE LATEST DESTRUCTION AND DISASTER, AND THEY DO SO WITH RELSIH, GOING TO GREAT REALMS OF CREATIVITY, DECEPTION AND EXTREMES TO "COVER" MISFORTUNE AND CALAMITY! HOW DIFFERENT ARE WE WITHIN THE "WALLS OF ZION"? HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE HASTENED TO BE THE ,"FRST" BEARER OF, WHAT IS REALLY NO MORE THAN "HOT GOSSIP"? HOW MANY TIMES, HAVE, WE AS INTERCESSRS, HEARD IT PUT LIKE THIS..."I'M ONLY SAYING OR TELLING THIS, SO WE CAN PRAY ABOUT IT..., BUT YET YOU PROVIDE MORE DETAILS THAN "EYEWITNESS NEWS!" THE SPIRIT,MAKETH INTERCESSION FOR US, IN MATTERS THAT ARE SENSITIVE, AND HE REVEALS THE DETAILS WE NEED, TO BE EFFECTIVE IN APPROACHING THE THRONE OF GRACE ON BEHALF OF ONE ANOTHER!! WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO IS TO NOT "COVER" MY STORY, LIKE "WALTER CRONKITE", BUT RATHER "COVER" ME! I DON'T NEED YOU TO WEAVE A TALE OF MY DOWNFALLS,ND FAILURES, AND MISFORTUNES, BUT CAN YOU "WEAVE" ME A "COVER' OF SAFETY, AND REFUGE FROM THE STORM, AND RESTORE ME IN THE SPIRIT OF MEEKNESS? WE BOAST AND DECLARE THAT WE HAVE GREAT "AGAPE'" FOR ONE ANOTHER, SO THEN THE GREATEST DEMONSTRATION OF THAT WOULD BE THROUGH YOUR "COVERING ME" IN HEARTFELT INTERCESSION, AND SUPPLICATIONS UNTIL MY STORM PASSES OVER! COVER ME IN DEEP TRAVAIL, UNTIL YOU KNOW I'M LOOSED FROM THE HAND OF THE ENEMY! COVER ME BY ASSUMING AN "OFFENSIVE" POSTURE FOR ME, AND REBUKE THE TALEBEARER AND ACCUSER, FOR MY SAKE! COVER ME BY SHUTTING DOWN THE "GOS-SIP" AT FIRST "SIP"! COVER ME BY SANCTIFYING A FAST FOR ME, AS IF I WAS OF YOUR OWN BLOOD, AND BEING PURSUED BY THE HOUNDS OF HELL! IF IT'S NEVER MADE KNOWN TO ME, NEVER DISCUSSED, AND YOU NEVER RECEIVE A TROPHY FOR IT, IF YOU ARE WHO YOU PROCLAIM TO BE IN CHRIST, AND IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE EXPRESS HEART, SPIRIT AND MIND OF GOD,WEAVE ME A COMFORTER OF FERVENT, EFFECTUAL PRAYERS, COVER ME!

My Pastor is the kind of woman who does not entertain gossip. but Gossip is given sometimes in the "concerned" pretense. How it becomes Gossip when intricate details are diclosed and we ALL KNOW when the stories get interesting beyond mere concern that its G-O-S-S-I-P
