Reality is some “gated communities” are literally hideouts for thieves, murderers, and rapists.

GATED COMMUNITY

I speak unto you this day and I ask you, do you imagine that you are “safe and secure by living in a gated community”? Do you know what goes on inside the gates? Reality is some “gated communities” are literally hideouts for thieves, murderers, and rapists. While those who live in a gated community will pay for what they assume to be safety and security, is it really secure after all?

There are some communities more recently built that have cameras in all rooms to watch everything you do, including bathing, going to the toilet, dressing and undressing, and even in your bedrooms. What is so secure about having your every move under surveillance? There is no privacy and your very existence is open to the eyes of those who watch the cameras twenty-four-seven. 

In these times, there are sophisticated “spy systems” built into the techno devices every one is addicted to and their every move is recorded as well as all conversations both on the phone and with others they live with. There is nothing private or hidden anymore and so therefore the agencies who run such spy systems can pull up any information they want on anyone at any time they want. 

When nations imagine they advance, what is it they advance into? Consider if you are in a “gated community” and someone starts a fire and it is spreading rapidly and the locks have been changed on the gate and no one has the right code because they haven’t been issued yet. What happens to the residents who will be consumed by the flames of fire which are all around? They will find what they have thought was so secure will become the burning inferno which destroys their physical treasures as well as their lives and the lives of those they live with. 

Did their “gated community really provide them with safety” when the water systems within the buildings quit working as they needed to be adjusted and the computer tech was due to come the following week? What about all their attempts to call 911, those failed too as they were not in the city and the distances they were from fire trucks was too far. Secluded, secure, serene, with every possible luxury to make your life totally safe is what the advertising said. 

Yet, the inhabitants were being charred along with all of their earthly treasures and they were locked into their gated community. The hysteria was rampant as people were attempting to use codes to open the gates only to find no code would work. Why did it happen, what really caused such a horrid tragedy in what was supposed to be the most sophisticated systems available for maximum security?

Once all the residents were dead or dying, someone saw the flames from the sky and reported the fire. Finally the trucks arrived but too late, as inside the gates people still barely alive were moaning in their agonies and most were dead. Then the firemen and women had to bust down the gates by ramming them continually with their trucks while the blaze was still going. The whole thing turned into a gross tragedy or so it was reported to be by the news. By the time the gates were opened all were dead and ashes remained of the precious treasures of the dead residents. Many things still smoldering and some cell phones were ringing insanely with no one to answer them. 

Because of the awful stench of the burnt bodies, the plastics, the metal and the wood, many of the firemen were hindered in their abilities to keep breathing. It was reported at daybreak that the smoke and the smell traveled for miles because of the wind. Why did such a thing happen so suddenly, and cause so many deaths? Simply because these ones where trusting in their particular gated community for their security and the technological advantages promised turned against them.

Further investigation showed that the fire came as a consequence of planned and deliberate arson and the motive was finally exposed to be cartel revenge. In fact the whole gated community was a laundering scheme of one cartel with many holdings. Another cartel sought to burn all residents alive as they were getting revenge. What could be done? Nothing because the ones who set the fire had very expensive lawyers who defended them. 

So as it turned out some of those who died were once believers who turned aside from the security and safety found in Me to go a whoring after the cursed arm of flesh and had their flesh burned up in the flames. Will people ever stop to consider that it is Me who reigns supreme and without Me, no one is safe and secure? 

The majority will not for they prefer to trust the world, the flesh, and the devil and his demons more than Me. Of course they have no true security and safety and could easily die by the very things they believe and buy into. Stop and consider when people trust in the arm of flesh, they are cursed and cursed people have no assurance of safety and security. This is because by their choices, they become open prey for the demons who are sent to “kill, steal, and destroy.” Trust in Me and Live in True Security.
