Reed's Reads of Wisdom Wednesdays ™:Heaven Hears the Screams Too

“Your city needs you, Angeline.”— Jeff:Ward of Law, Chapter 7: Darkness & Destruction,of Book II of S.O.L.A.D™: Soldiers of Light Against Darkness™

Sometimes the battlefield isn’t quiet. It’s not calm. It’s not hidden behind prayer room doors or whispered devotions. Sometimes it’s a crater in the concrete, a sky filled with ash, and a city trembling under the weight of destruction.

Sometimes, intercession bleeds.

In Chapter 7: Darkness & Destruction,of Book II of S.O.L.A.D™: Soldiers of Light Against Darkness™, the supernatural warfare gripping Memphis reaches its boiling point. Buildings collapse. Explosions rock the skyline. Soldiers of stone are telekinetically inflating police officers, literally stretching their bodies toward death. Destruction—the demon queen of chaos—reigns with violence, vengeance, and volcanic power. And in the middle of it all stands Juanita Grayson a.k.a. Angeline™, battered but rising.

This isn’t fantasy. This is spiritual truth wrapped in the garb of superhero fiction. Because if you’ve ever been the one standing between death and deliverance, between a crumbling foundation and a fragile faith—you know what this chapter feels like.

God Doesn't Ignore the Screams

Let’s make one thing clear: God hears the cries in the chaos. He doesn’t turn away from the explosions in our cities or the battles in our bodies. When Jeff says, “Your city needs you,” he’s not just talking to Angeline. He’s speaking to every intercessor, every warrior, every believer who has been spiritually activated by the brokenness around them.

The question is: Are you listening?

Angeline hears the cries—and responds. Her pain doesn’t pause her. Her fear doesn’t freeze her. She races into the fire, forming force fields and wielding heavenly weapons. Her every movement declares: God is present where the battle is loudest.

Intercession Inside the Emergency

We often romanticize intercession. We think it only happens in quiet sanctuaries or silent mornings. But what if God calls you to intercede in the middle of the mess?

Angeline didn’t wait for everything to calm down. She didn’t ask for another prophetic word. She moved.

• While explosions shook the ground, she created shields of protection.

  
  

• While demon soldiers tried to inflate the bodies of police officers, she struck with supernatural speed.

  
  

• While Destruction screamed and summoned chaos, she countered with control, power, and heavenly fire.

Her intercession was not passive. It was participatory. And isn’t that how God works through us?

Sometimes your very presence is the force field. Your praise is the arrow. Your courage is the catalyst. And your faith-filled fight—not your fear-filled flight—is what halts the plans of the enemy.

Your Power Has Purpose

What makes Angeline such a profound character isn’t just her supernatural strength. It’s that she uses it when it matters most. And not for show. Not for ego. But to protect, to deliver, to restore.

Angeline’s power is a metaphor, yes—but it’s also literal in the world of S.O.L.A.D.™. Her force fields, sais, bow and quiver, and telekinetic combat all flow from one source: the divine calling on her life.

And that same truth applies to us. We may not fly or fight stone demons, but we’ve been armed with spiritual gifts for this exact reason:

“The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.”— 2 Corinthians 10:4

You are not powerless in the battle. You are positioned.

The Cost of the Calling

Let’s not forget—Angeline is still Juanita. A young woman with secrets, sorrow, and a deep longing to be known by her father, Chief Marcus Grayson, who doesn’t yet realize she’s the daughter he raised.

She nearly reveals the truth in this chapter, kneeling beside him, worried and worn. But she withholds it… not out of fear, but out of focus.

Because the mission outweighs the moment.

Even with identity hidden and pain pressing in, she doesn’t shrink back. She chooses to show up and stay in it. That’s what intercessors do. That’s what warriors do. That’s what you do when God says: “Your city needs you.”

When Evil Falls, Let It Be Loud

Destruction doesn’t go quietly. Her defeat is violent, chaotic, and filled with rage. She tries to crush Angeline, collapse buildings on her, and turn innocent people into collateral damage. But none of it works.

Because light always has the final word.

With faith, timing, and divine strategy, Angeline turns Destruction’s own energy against her. The same blast meant to wipe out a crowd gets reversed and sent back toward its maker. God doesn’t just stop the enemy—He lets the enemy’s own evil implode upon itself.

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.”— Genesis 50:20

When Destruction is finally buried beneath the rubble she created, Angeline doesn’t gloat. She doesn’t grandstand. She simply declares:“Ashes to ashes, Destruction.”

Final Reflection: What’s Your Crater?

When the world around you is exploding, what do you do?

• Do you lay in the crater like Angeline did at the beginning of the chapter?

  
  

• Or do you rise, like she did at the end—with dust on her skin, purpose in her eyes, and fire in her hands?

Because here’s the truth: Heaven hears the screams too.And sometimes, it sends you as the answer.

Scripture Declarations

• “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” — Isaiah 54:17

  
  

• “The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name.” — Exodus 15:3

• “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” — Romans 12:21

Final Word

You may not have super strength, but you have supernatural strength. You may not carry arrows, but you carry anointing. You may not face Destruction, but you do face darkness.

And just like Angeline, you were born for this battle.

So rise up, warrior. Your city needs you. Your family needs you. This world needs you.

Heaven hears. Now it’s your move.
