"Destruction of The Cast"

"Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city." (Psalms 55:9) Just in case you wanted to know, this title was one that took me almost twenty minutes to become familiar with; I knew that "cast" was the word I was to use, but I did not know how to use it; at least not until God gave me a vision of the right "cast". I was stuck on a Cast of people, like actors and such in a play or movie; but God showed me another cast, as in one which is formed in a mold. I can't remember what it is from, but I seem to recall a movie where everyone in a certain town was made to be silent, like as if their lips were stuck together or something; then again, maybe it was a dream or something in a book. David is pretty much asking the Lord to silence those in the city that are stirring things up; not because he is afraid of what they might be saying about him, or because they are even stirring things up; but because they are stripping people of the hope and the security of being a people that are led by God. People can only take so much before they become void of hope, and before begin to panic in the thought of without leadership. I don't know if you knew this or not, but our general need is to be led by someone, or something; we all need a master; we may not be able to serve two masters, but we all need to have at least one. This is the "cast" that God has shown me, that of a person formed by the lack of hope, not only in God, but in the idea that God is the one leading the Leaders; the hope of being led by someone chosen of God, verses someone that has taken over the leadership without God's permission or anointing. Then it almost becomes an every man for himself kind of nature that people begin to take on; without proper leadership, the people will perish from the inside out. We see this happening in our churches today; not because we do not have good leaders, because we do; but because those that are the leaders in the church are the actual leaders, not the Real Master, Jesus Christ...
"Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered Him, No. And He said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked), and did cast himself into the sea." (John 21:3-7)
