Al Capone & The Untouchables

Monday, July 31, 2023

During the years of prohibition in Chicago, Al Capone rose to power and corrupted everyone around him. He even had judges on his payroll. Because Chicago was so corrupt, there was nothing that could touch him. But then Elliott Ness was brought in and put in charge. He along with nine young, idealistic, law enforcers, came to bring down Al Capone and break the underworld. They were called the Untouchables, not because they couldn't be killed or hurt but because they couldn't be bribed, corrupted or intimidated. They ended up getting Al Capone on tax evasion. He was touchable because of his lack of integrity. The Latin root for the word integrity is the same for the word untouchable. God is calling you to be one of His heavenly untouchables. A person of integrity, who can't be touched, compromised or bought. If you'll rid your life of compromise, go all out for God and not let that sin, that temptation touch you anymore, then you'll become one of heaven's untouchables. You'll pull down strongholds and even transform a city or even change the world.
