I've never heard God's voice. But, God works with me.  God has never talked to me or given me secret messages for people or the world. But, God allows me to see things or read things or hear things that I know are from Him. Sometimes God can give us the yes or no to questions or things we've never inquired about. But, I've never heard God's voice talk to me. God's Spirit is all around us. Most of the time we're unaware of it. But, sometimes God will let us feel His presents within where His Kingdom abides. The Kingdom of God is within us. When I hear people say..... and then I heard God say, da did da, did da. I take it with a huge grain of salt. It's become so common in Christendom today that it's lost its impact about what they're actually saying. God talked to you? Very rarely has God "Talked To Someone" in the bible. And when He has talked to someone it was about something major or life-threatening. So, when people say, this is the door God told me He wants you to walk through, etc. If you don't feel or have peace within about that then you know for some reason, God has other plans down the road. Or maybe it is the door but not at that time. At His time. This is where most people Don't follow God's will. They do what makes sense to them. They might even take a scripture verse (out of contexts) to back up what they're saying. People with a public platform should remember that they will be judged with a higher standard than the layperson. There are new Christians that hear preachers say that and think they're doing something wrong. (That's for another blog). Most of Jesus anger was directed at the scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy and apostasy. The laws they made were designed to profit them. Like the tax collectors, they took advantage of the opportunity they had to control and make money off the people who were sincerely trying to follow God. It's Father's day today. What do you think God would be telling us today? Fathers want to see things like honor,  Faith, Honesty, Morals, Principles, integrity, ethics, godly virtues in their children. These are not little issues with our Father in heaven or earth. People may think they are but they're not. God is saying in His Word every day that He is aware of everything and everybody around us. Nothing escapes His eyes. Every hair on our head is numbered. He takes note of "the little things" we say and do. The bible wasn't written by human stenographers that were hearing God's voice speaking to them. Be honest. Don't tell people God said this or that, or whatever if you didn't hear the Father speaking and talking to you. Happy Father's day. Be Blessed!

The Church and racism. I was convinced I'd never see the church (the different ministries we see on TV) begin to talk about racism and police brutality. (all races but primarily black) Now that we're talking about it, we have to be honest about it. Otherwise, there's no room to progress. The problem churches have is they've allowed P.C. into the church. You can't get down to the nitty-gritty truth. I hear things like *in Collage I had a black friend and we'd go to parties together and hang out*. The truth is, his friend was a group of 20 students he was with. He barely knew the black guy. Most Christians refuse to see any prejudice they have for one another (black & white). The nitty-gritty truth is we all have a measure of prejudice in us (preconceived opinion or judgment or formed learning without sufficient knowledge) We say, don't judge a book by its color. But the truth is WE DO the very thing we say we don't do. If there's a young black guy with a cap turned sideways and a grill with some bling around his neck in a waiting room with you. Your opinion of him isn't going to be he's a law degree professor. That's being prejudice toward him. Maybe he is? But it's a natural normal response. When you first meet someone and think they're a jerk. Then, later on, you find out he's not. That's called being prejudice. So when I hear preachers say, I'm not prejudiced toward any black person I meet or see. I don't see color when I meet someone, I see the person. I would say that's a lie and yes you do. That's the problem the church is going to face moving forward with any healing for the racial division in the country. Will people be honest and open for once. Or, just stick to the talking points as usual so they don't offend or anger the folks who donate money? I get that. In fact, I'm not sure the nitty-gritty truth can be talked about on TV. If we could read the hearts and minds of the "perfect preachers" I think you'd be more than surprised. It's important for people to know who I'm talking to. I'm talking to people who live or were brought up in urban areas with mixed ethnicities. Reparations and black sovereignty have to be talked about. I think we the white ethnicity should make it right with the black community first. We have to show them we do care despite the fact that sometimes we don't care. Most of the anger is directed toward the youth. The country as a whole may not care. But God's people do. Why? Because we carry God's Spirit within us. It's who we are. We're in the world but not of the world. The devil is going to fight this movement that has Americans finally talking about race and police brutality in our nation and in our churches. But, we have prayer. We're living in a time of answered prayer. God is doing amazing things despite the fact the world has been shut down for months. Don't let past mistakes shake your faith. Don't hold grudges. Keep your heart open. Remember who your REAL brothers and sisters are. Remember who you are in Christ. Rember who God is. And remember that with man.........some things are impossible. But with God, all things are possible.

40 acres and a mule. That's what the United States Government promised every black family after slavery. That was never followed through on. Fast forward 200+ years to MLK and his movement for civil rights. True much was accomplished. But, had MLK been able to look into the future 40 years later, he would have been shocked to see where we are today in America.  And altho MLK and Malcolm X disagreed on many things, I believe MLK would have to admit that Malcolm X had the answer for peace in America. Black Sovernegty! Not 40 acres and a mule, but the spirit behind 40 acres and a mule. Giving African Americans a fresh start. A fresh and new beginning to live and provide for their own. Separated and protected from the United States Government. Had this been done from the start, NONE of the racism an injustices against the black community would have ever happened. All this protest and rioting and killing would have never had a chance to start. Gregory Floyd would have NEVER happened. We can legislate and pass new laws all we want. The laws we passed to protect Gregory Floyd did nothing to save him. You cannot legislate morality. How many more years are we going to pretend that things are going to get better? Things can only get better when men' have new hearts. The Spirit of God through Jesus Christ is the only remedy. Nothing this world can offer has the power to cleanse man's heart, mind, and soul save Jesus Christ. How many times in America's history has God's Spirit knocked on the door of racism in the church to heal this country and the church said, 'Not Now'? The white churches ignored and looked away again and again. God went to the black church with the same results. God knows the re-birth of men's hearts is the only answer to what we're seeing today. And we know that the hearts and minds willing to be changed by the power of the Holy Spirit are few. But, just a few are all God needs. If they refuse to turn and surrender their lives to Christ..... there's only one solution left. Separation. Let African Americans have the choice to protect and Govern themselves. Black Soverngty. This is God's will (outside of Christ). And until people surrender their life to Jesus Christ it's the only way to live together in Peace. When I started talking about this a couple months ago I was crucified for it. By both white and black Christians. But, God hasn't kept me hear to pacify and placate other Christian leaders. I do and say what I feel is right and what God leads me to do and say. If we know what's not going to work (by looking at history) lets work on what will work. Black Soverengty would give black Americans dual citizenship in a sense. It would give them another option. An option to live among themselves and away from discriminating, profiling, injustice, prejudice, racism working within a structured system to work against them and not for them. It's time the Government realizes their (egotistical) dream about the United States being this great multi-culture melting pot for what it is.....A Lie! When I hear politicians say things like "we're better than this" or "This isn't who we are" in regards to the racial division I say... America is not better than this, and yes, this is who we are. What you're seeing across America is more than black police brutality. It's an explosion and a rejection of the equal justice the Government has given so far to people under its oppression. The American Government owes African Americans a safe haven away from what they've put up with. It failed in its promises for a good education and housing in poor neighborhoods. These protests and riots have been building for decades for the people ignored. (black and white) And who suffers the most when people are pushed over the edge and anarchy rules in the night?..... the poor. Poverty is an equal opportunist. Black, white, brown. Jesus Christ is the answer to not just race but ALL THINGS Ungodly. But America can no longer turn the other way with the issue of racial disparity and racism and police brutality. The reason you see politicians so nervous right now is because they realize they may have waited too long. The Republican Congress is guilty. The Democratic Congress is guilty. The Republican And Democratic Senate are guilty. The Presidents from Trump to Washington are guilty to one degree or the other. Last but not least, Christian leadership in America is guilty. No one has taken a serious enough look at racism and poverty in America. And no one has offered a serious solution to the problem. God is done striving with the churches (black and white). Now the church has to take notice. Now, the Government has to start asking serious questions to the church and not Wallstreet for the solution to the problems we see. How do we live in peace with one another with the diverse cultures we bring to the table? There is no black or white, or Jew or gentile for those who are in Christ Jesus. That's the answer. We are all one in Him. The Government can't do what the churches in America have failed to do until we elect people who've been reborn from above into Government. So when you hear MSM talk about the failure of politicians. Know that what God is hearing and seeing is the failure of any serious leadership within any and ALL churches in this country regarding these problems. When have you heard any white pastor speak out against police brutality who have a national voice? Once in a while, you'll hear a black preacher skip around the issue but not too long. Not too hard and heavy. They don't want to upset the politicians and other civic leaders who give substantial amounts of money to their church. Until black, white, brown, Christian leaders publicly unite and come together to serve and work toward the needs of the oppressed in society, we'll see more of the same. Until they can be united examples of concern and unity nothing will change. To whom much has been given, much is required. You can't force people to be concerned for the underdogs in any society. That fire has to come from above. None of these problems are going to disappear overnight. Failed church leadership, Police brutality, a fixed legal justice system unchecked for too many years will produce what we're witnessing today. These deeds done in the dead of night are symbols of the fruit the church has for too long chose to ignore.
