Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ~ Genesis 6:5 

The wickedness of humanity has always roamed this earth, starting with the first murder with Cain and Abel, Genesis 4. It only seems surprising to many that crime has increase, but there have always been murders, crimes, lawlessness. happening every second, around the world, it’s just the majority of them don’t get reported for all to see. With that being said, now you are aware of what kind of world you live in and you have to be alert and protect yourselves and family. I’m convince most criminals don’t have a television, they don’t watch the news and unaware that there are cameras everywhere., perhaps they would be embarrass of themselves. To make matters worse some states have been lenient on how they are going to treat them. So, it’s up to you to understand the conditions you are under and protect yourself. 

Simple Ways to Dealing with Wicked People in this World 

Be alert– lately the majority of the crimes that have been happening were random, people getting attack from the back, unexpected, etc. It’s important to be alert as much as possible. If you know you live in a State, town, city, where crime is on the rise, look around you as you leave a place. If possible do not sit with your back turn where others can approach you without you seeing them. Be alert when going in and out your car. Take your headphones off your head. You can actually feel when someone is walking too close behind you, but not if you are distracted. 

Protect Yourself- The law allows for people to protect themselves but you have to  understand the laws of your State, City and even Federal law, because if you don’t take the appropriate measures, although you may be the victim, if you do anything that goes against the rule, you may be held responsible. Some states have restriction of what you can carry and use even if it’s something as simple as pepper spray. Know the rules and find what is appropriate that you can protect yourself with. Also understand when traveling different rules for airports and other countries. Take the time to do the research. No matter where you live make sure you put a no trespassing sign up, have an alarm system as well. The no trespassing sign may help you with defense if something should happen to someone on your property that’s not supposed to be there. *Please consult with an Attorney for legal advice.* 

Stranger Danger– The stranger danger is a concept taught to children about engaging with strangers that it can be a dangerous to them, but apparently some adults need to learn and practice this. People you meet online are not your friends and should not have an invitation to your home no matter the circumstance, and this applies to even people you meet outside. The number of stories of, in particular, women being killed by men they have meant online, is avoidable. No one- man or women should bring anyone you just meant to your private space. No matter how nice they act or what they are offering you should make you put yourself in danger –it will never be worth it. No woman should allow yourself to be so desperate bringing a man you don’t even know, to your home the same day or any day for that matter. A respectable man will not even entertain you in such manner. Carry yourself as a Lady and you will be treated like one, and get off these awful sites, there is a better way. The scriptures tell us he who finds, not she who looks, Proverbs 18:22. 

It’s Okay to Be Private– In a world where everyone posts their entire life online, it’s okay to maintain your privacy, especially your children’s. If everyone knows what house you live in, what car you drive, where you vacation, what your children are doing, where you work, you have put way too much out there. There are people preying and looking for people like you. Putting all your life online does a few things, attracts predators, makes people envious/jealous of you that often cause them to attack you online, some will go as far to physically harm you, makes you a target for robbery, the list can go on. If you look at the wealthiest people are earth, they protect their privacy. They don’t talk about anything they own; others do that for them, they neither say it’s true or not, they are silent about it. There are people in this world doing big things, no one really know about them because they cherish their privacy. It’s okay to be private, there is no harm in protecting yourself and family, especially your children.  Learn to be private and discreet especially concerning financial matters.

Protect your Children– It would be nice if you can trust everyone around you and your children but unfortunately, we simply don’t live in that kind of world. Many times, it’s those closest to us (family, cousins, aunts, uncles, parents, grandparents, church members, friends, etc.) that harm your children. Most adults have had an encounter with someone who is family or close to the family that have harm them in some way, that should tell you all you need to know about protecting your children at all cost.  Teach them to be comfortable to speak to you about situations that occurred or made them uncomfortable. Pay attention when their behavior change. Don’t be so quick to deny their story or think they don’t know what they are talking about.

For those with teenagers, teach them not to be followers, in a group of kids being mischievous, there are only 1 or 2 masterminds and the rest are just followers. Keep your children/teenagers with activities that will keep them from hanging around the wrong groups. Activities such as dance class, art, after school programs, sports, etc.

Don’t Open Your Door for Anyone You Did Not Invite to Your Home– This should be common sense, but for some reason people are still falling for opening their door to random people. One often trick people use, is saying they are your neighbor a few houses down, the first thing you should realize, is if you don’t know them for sure they are probably lying. Secondly, why would they skip the other homes and come to your home directly? Don’t fall for it. No invite, no entry and teach your children this as well. Also, even if you know you have a delivery coming, let the worker place it down, then retrieve it when the coast is clear, as we seen many can easily purchase uniforms to trick people. And Please lock your doors! Yes it’s common sense, but people are still leaving their doors unlock.

I hope you see and understand what kind of world we live in and we have to be more alert, more conscious, more proactive. I will also add a lot of these type of people like to pretend they have a mental illness to commit crimes, some of them may want to be in jail for shelter, food, etc. and you definitely don’t want to cross path with them because of their twisted mindset. Of course, I will always encourage praying but understand you have to also take action. As believers we will continue to pray for this world we live in, and that God presence will be with us but we must also be ready to take action when necessary.
