If you look at the words in the picture above, you will see the word "Fear" in Cape Fear River. The average spiritual mapper, upon knowing the name of this river, would go to the public library and Internet to do research why this river was named Cape Fear. One would find out that approximately 500 years ago, the famed legendary pirate Blackbeard would use his boat to take over other boats and plunder their loot. Another reason that this river is also named Cape Fear is due to the trickiness of navigating the Cape Fear River from the Atlantic ocean. The natural design of the opening and the flow of the water creates many rip currents and cross currents that make it difficult for boats to make the transition from the ocean to the river. In smaller boats, if the operator lacks proper navigational techniques to ride these rough waters, he can place his boat in trouble where the boat can overturn, sink, and force the passengers to swim to shore and risk rip currents if the boat capsized. Because of this force of nature and stragetic planning, there is a United States Coast Guard Station in this area that stays busy patrolling the area and occasionally assisting troubled boats in this area.

To the spiritual mapper, just because the name of this river is the "Cape Fear River" automatically means that there is this automatic territorial spirit of fear in this area that has to be conquered. In fact this has happened. A group of spiritual mappers claimed that a spirit of fear was over this area to the point where they had actually claimed that to break this spirit of fear, warfare was done with some "breakthroughs" and the final battle was to change the name of the river. A petition was filed with the State to change the name of the river to no avail and therefore, according to the spiritual mapper, the spirit of fear will still remain forever and the "mapping and warfare exercise" cane to a halt. In other words, no name change, no spirit leaving.

Doesn't this sound similar and comes from the same mentality of the political correctiveness movement that has swept and changed the thinking of this nation?

Yes

In professional athletics today, many sports teams are boycotted by Native American Indians because they have names (example: Washington Redskins, Atlanta Braves, Florida State University Seminoles) related to American Indian culture. Because of this and other things naned with Indian names (example: Jeep Cherokee, Tomahawk missle, Apache web servers), this is seen by the Indians as being racist and derogatory. According to the Native Americans, the only way to "erase the hate" and eliminate racism towards Native Americans is to first overcompensate them with lots of money. Gee, good ole money can erase a lot of pain where Jesus can't? The second thing to do is to force these athletic teams and corporations to change the names of their teams and consumer goods. Therefore, these athletic teams must change their established corporate identity to something else to rectify this problem and eliminate racism. Two scenerios exist here. The first scenerio is that the original owners of these athletic teams did not purposely sit around their meeting table and thought "Gee, I want to make a hidden derogatory comment about the Indians, therefore I will name my team after them"? Of course not! In fact, when the truth comes out, these owners who named these teams actually respected the never say die warrior mentality of the Indian people and wanted to instill a nature of our team never gives up and we fight to the end. The second scenerio here is if these teams changed their name to something else, would the new name offend another cultural group since the same people who push the Political Correctiveness movement also found a way to brainwash America by changing the correct and traditional meaning of family and cultural groups to include a broadened scope. A family, once defined by sociologists is no more a father, mother, kids, and a pet with the extended family of grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. Family is seen today as any small group with the same collective interests. Culture is seen today as a group of families (family based on the definition given to you in the last sentence) with the same collective interests. Do the Native Americans use this new definition of family and culture to make another cultural group "feel their pain" and join in with them to fight racism and hatred against them and turn their backs to help the other cultural group fight the racisms and hatred they face?

The NBA's Washington Wizards used to be the Washington Bullets until the PC police stepped in and deceived everyone into believing that the term "Bullets" promoted the high rate of gang violence and drive by shootings in the Washington, DC area. The term "Bullets" was derived from the Revolutionary War concept of minutemen and sentrys who fought for freedom and were ready to shed their blood to die for freedom. In fact, the bullets used to wear red, white, and blue uniforms similar in design to the American flag. In fact, the original Massachusetts quarter was changed via the same logic as the name of the Washington Bullets because the original quarter released as part of the "states series" of quarters had a Revolutionary War minuteman with a rifle in his hands. Therefore, according to the politically correct, the goverment is against gun control, and promotes violence. The Washington Bullets are now known as the Washington Wizards, a demonic concept that uses spells to curse people. Do we see Christians picketing and protesting the Wizards saying that the term Wizard is offensive to Christianity? Of course not. Do we see white people protest outside a "Cracker Barrel" restaurant because the name "Cracker" is considered a derogatory racial slur towards white people? Of course not. These groups would be laughed and ridiculed if they tried to use the same idiot logic of the politically correct to erase hate with equal and more hate.

To the spiritual mapper, every state in the Southeast United States is considered to automatically have a spirit of racism in the city. Who is at fault for the state of this nation and everything negative that exists in this nation today? To the politically correct and the spiritual mapper, it is the white, anglo-saxon, protestant, southern, republican, Christian male who is at fault. The spiritual mapper, like their political correctiveness counterparts, thinks that the Confederate flag is the cause of the racism in the southeast United States. I need to break the truth to you, flags do not hate, people do. In the same realm, baseball teams do not hate, people do. If you do a true research of the Confederate flag, the Confederate flag represents the thirteen states that seperated from the union based on state's rights and not on plantation slavery issues. Should the Confederate flag come down from state buildings? Yes. Why? Because it is racist? No, because it is the flag of an defeated nation that has been overtaken. Therefore, the Confederate nation is now non-existent and does not deserve to be flown on the same flagpoles or at the same level as a state flag or an American flag. Did this tragedy known as the Civil War happen? Yes it really did. Therefore, we can not deny that the racism existed and that there was no bloodshed. We can not eliminate the reenactments of the wars if they truthfully detail the original history. The Confederate flag today belongs in a history museum concerning American culture of yesterday showing how America went through a difficult time. Meanwhile, we can show that America has overcame this era and made significant strides towards equality for all through legislature and Constitutional amendments.

Unfortunately, some hate groups (KKK, skinheads) have adopted this flag as a symbol of their hatred towards the African-Americans. This is taking the flag out of it's true historical context. If we Americans eliminate all traces of the flag or eliminate the naming of athletic teams with Indian tribes, we still have not dealt with the root issue at hand. Instead with dealing with a problem, we have denied and suppressed a problem to non-existence (except for the older generation) to where the problem festers and becomes worse. Like the situation with the American Indians, overcompensating a particular group with money will not solve this problem nor soothe the pain of a past atrocity. Neither would the addition of a minority to a operations board of a large corporation, a reconciliation service held only once a year while we go back to our segregated services for 51 Sundays a year, and a formal apology by the sons who did not commit the atrocities their forefathers committed to the sons who did not experience the atrocities their forefathers dealt with will deal with the issues at hand. These problems can only be resolved by prayer, forgiveness, reconciliation, and unity with Jesus. The past is done. We can not re-write it by denial as some are trying to do. But we can learn from the past and if we pray for and receive wisdom, learn from the mistakes of the past and never perform the same atrocious actions again.
