A BADGE AND A CROWN

When a king has a son, he calls his son a prince, which means first. The son is first in line to be king when his father dies. But, if a king wants his son to be king while the king is still alive, the king must take his son out of his domain or territory and place his son in a foreign territory. The father can now make his son king over the foreign territory. Because the father has now established another king, this makes the father, King of Kings. With this said, God is King and we are His children, created in His likeness and image. Because God, our Father and King will never die, if we stayed with Him, in heaven, we could never reign as kings. So, God took us out of His territory, which is Heaven, and placed us in a foreign territory, which is the earth. Then He tells us to be fruitful, multiply and take dominion over the earth. Because our Father established us as kings of the earth, this makes Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Even when Jesus walked the earth, He was referred to as "King" because He was not in the Father's territory. But, when He was crucified, died, and then rose from the dead and returned back to the right hand of the Father, in heaven, He was referred to as the "Prince" of peace. Why? When a king returns home to his fathers territory, he is no longer a king, he becomes a prince again. There can only be one king in a domain.As police officers, who are the sons and daughters of a King, from a foreign territory, we bring Kingdom authority into the world of law enforcement. It is an honor to wear the badge of authority, but, it is a greater honor to wear the crown of a king.

"Serving" in the midst of transition.

Have you ever found yourself at a place in your life where God has brought you out of where you used to be, yet, you haven't quite arrived at where He's called you to be, and it seems like you are just lingering somewhere in between? Or, you are trusting God for something and it seems like He's forgotten you. I know that this a very frustrating place to be. You see others getting promotions, new jobs, a reliable vehicle, financial increase, a child, a spouse, healing, a home, a ministry, and the list could go on. The enemy begins to whisper things to you like, "God is not going to do it. He's not with you. Look at your life. Where is God?" The answer is simple, but, you have to decide for yourself that this is what you are going to do. In the midst of your transition, you must simply find a way to "serve" others. Think about the farmer. When he or she plants their seed in the ground, they don't sit there staring at the ground waiting for their harvest. If they did, they would probably get discouraged very quickly. Why? Seed time and harvest time is a process. The farmer goes off to tend to other things, with a deep knowing that the harvest will surely come in due season, because the principles of seedtime and harvest work. If God has begun a process in your life, He will surely complete it, in due season. His word says that He will complete the good thing in you that He has begun, surely, without your help! I added that last part. (smile) So, do something other then what you are believing God for. Find a way to serve others. Stay busy for the Lord, and before you know, instead of you waiting on your harvest, your harvest will be waiting on you.

Public Safety "Prayer Wall"

Greetings everyone. I'm writing to let you know about the Public Safety "Prayer Wall" that is being constructed in Baltimore, MD. Insignia patches from police departments, corrections, campus police, special police, military police, private security, parole & probation, local, state, federal, national, international, etc. are needed to complete this project. The wall will be inside of the prayer room at Rock City Church in Baltimore. The patches will be housed in a secured case mounted on the wall. There is prayer 24 hours per day, seven days per week in this prayer room. If you are in the public safety field or if you have family and friends in this field, then you know how important prayer is and how desperately we need it. Officers are being ambushed, killed in auto accidents, marriages are being torn apart, children are being affected because of broken relationships, officers are committing suicide, financial problems, health problems, internal problems within departments, division in law enforcement, and the list could go on. Help me complete this project! I believe that there is a special place in the heart of God for public safety personnel. He has a special plan and purpose for our lives. Read Romans chapter 13, especially the "message bible" version. With that said, if you are able to assist by sending an insignia patch (the patch that is placed on the sleeve of a uniform) to go on the wall, so the men and women of that particular department can be consistently covered in prayer, please send an email to me at efieldsjr@verizon.net and I will provide you with the shipping address. God is truly up to something in law enforcement and public safety!!!

Police Suicide Awareness

Many people don't know that every 22 hrs., somewhere in the United States, a police officer commits suicide. These numbers are staggering. The stress associated with law enforcement, coupled with the stress of everyday life (relationships, children, money, health, etc.) tends to leave some of our men and women in blue in a state of hopelessness. What do you do when you spend 8 to 10 hours per day helping everyone else with their problems, and then you go home and struggle, silently, with your own? Join me on my blog talk radio show entitled "Shift Change Global Radio" at www.blogtalkradio.com/shiftchangeproject as I discuss this very pressing issue.

THE ORIGINAL BLUEPRINT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT!

I encourage all law enforcement to read Romans chapter 13 and ask God for understanding. This is the original blueprint for law enforcement. Just like anything else, the finished product should resemble it's blueprint. I spoke about Romans 13, just a little, in my last posted blog entitled, "What are your thoughts on this?" Please feel free to read it and leave a comment. God is up to something in law enforcement!

What are your thoughts on this?

In Romans chapter 13, (The Message Version) the Bible explains to us, as police, where our authority comes from and how we should use it. But, one thing sticks out in this chapter that really makes me think. It says that good citizens should not be afraid of the police, but, those that break the law had better "watch out." Is it just me, or, are things backwards, in the times that we currently live in. It seems like good citizens are afraid of many police officers and the criminals appear to have no fear, nor respect for police. Why is this? Well, the Bible goes on to say that all governments are under God, as long as there is "peace and order." In many police departments, worldwide, it appears that there is no peace within. There is a lot of back stabbing, power struggles, insubordination, no loyalty, and a lack of adherence to protocol. Most police have gone from being public servants to being self servants, to include police leadership. An "all about me" phase. The word servant can be evenly exchanged with the word, minister. Ministers are considered servants. So, in Romans 13, if God calls police officers "His ministers" (KJV) or "His servants" (Contemporary English Version), where is the public ministry or the public service? It is impossible to enforce the law effectively and to maintain order in a city or municipality, if there is no order, accountability, peace, integrity, loyalty, adherence to protocol, nor unity, in the department. Most important of all, there must be an understanding in regards to what a police officer is, what a police officer does, and where their true authority comes from. I would encourage police officers, worldwide, to read and understand Romans chapter 13. Understanding your divine position of authority will change your method of policing. It changed mine. Psalm 127 states that unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. Who are the watchmen (not just the police) and is anyone else out there tired of standing guard and watching in vain? Many leaders are pleading to the public for help in reducing crime in their cities. Why consult the ones that you are supposed to protect and serve, instead of consulting the very One who gives you your authority in the first place? God establishes laws and He uses police officers to enforce them, because He is a God of law and order. It should be a privilege and an honor to serve within His rank and file! What are your thoughts on this?

Ready for surgery.

I undergo reconstructive surgery on my right ankle tomorrow from my line of duty injury. I believe that all will go well. God will guide the hand of the surgeon and I'm trusting Him for a complete and speedy recovery. So, if I don't blog tomorrow, that means that I'm still under the influence of the pain medication. My blog talk radio show (Shift Change Global Radio) will go on as planned on Thursday at 10:00 am eastern standard time. I'm excited about it. It's the beginning of the Testimony Series. So, if you are a police officer and you have a testimony about what God is doing in law enforcement, call in during the show. The world needs to hear! You can click on the link below to get to the talk show. You will find the call- in number on my shows home page. We'll talk soon. Remember, God is up to something in law enforcement! You heard it here, first!
