Three Things Man Can't Escape

Great Pride often comes before a fall...

WORD OF THE DAY! 

Lust of the eyes; Lust of Flesh; and

....The Pride of Life 

"Obedience is better!"

  
"A Tongue"  
controls the words coming out of your mouth which can equal your Destiny or Defeat

 "A Weapon of Mass Destruction"


- WMD ~

The Tongue gives choice to speak anything into existence even the desires of our heart.

Negative Words are very detrimental it can be the curse to change the entire trajectory of your life I see them as the Artillery a thought in your mind but once its out of your mouth goes straight into the Wind

It carries your words straight to GODS EARs! Once it leaves your lips what you say is a prayer of petition. That's why you pray in the Name of Jesus Christ, it's a done deal. "Be Careful What You Pray for, You Just Might Get It!"

 Positive Words you speak can uplift your character and encourage you during any test its like currency (money) which increases

 "Faith" 

Strength for the journey (the footwork) towards your Destiny

Be Still and Wait
Trust GODs Timing


If you have a conscious mind to listen before you speak, ears that can hear and never allow other people negative thoughts or perceptions of you become your reflection ....

Hebrews 4:12-13Amplified Bible (AMP)
12 For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the [a]breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.
13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.

 So many people are suffering and small businesses are collapsing due to the manipulation of men. We can all enjoy prosperity it's more than enough in this world. Please you radical haters don't believe I'm a flaming socialist because that's so not true, I love you too and want you to prosper in life. Be comfortable and know we can all exist and enjoy our portion. Problem is everybody wants to be in control or to control authority even to bargain with GOD based on the size of your tithe. I believe the book of Acts illustrates how GOD views that ritual, all of it belongs to Him if he wants it all back give it to Him... And by no means take all the credit for achievements accomplished because GOD is a jealous GOD he loves shout outs. Why cause it helps the doubters believe in An Infinite power so yes He'll bring up Men inspired to do good i.e., T.D.Jakes, as most leaders He has raised up the real ones will stand out above the ones who are false put it this way, Bishop is God's Man. So if I had to come under a Man of God as Pastor he mine... I've learned so much about being a wholesome christian, some days I don't even believe how much GOD has moved in my path to demonstrate that I'm not running nothing. I had spiritual constipation because I wanted to pray then take the credit for the achievement. 


Hebrews 6:17-20Amplified Bible (AMP)

17 Accordingly God also, in His desire to show more convincingly and beyond doubt to those who were to inherit the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose and plan, intervened (mediated) with an oath.
18 This was so that, by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us and set before [us].
19 [Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot [a]break down under whoever steps out upon it—a hope] that reaches [b]farther and enters into [the very certainty of the Presence] within the veil,
20 Where Jesus has entered in for us [in advance], a Forerunner having become a High Priest forever after the order (with [c]the rank) of Melchizedek.

Bishop T.D. Jakes preached about this series topic "Submission;" (Pastor's sermon was more inspiring) see TD Jakes on YouTube it might be in his library.


Living in these days that's seems absurd people automatically think it's weakness, but I beg you People of Faith or searching for an answer; He illustrates how the people building the tower of Babel tongues were confounded; King David indiscretions by taking advantage of his power in sleeping with another mans Urieh 's wife Bathsheba.  Who slept at his front door, instead of going home to be with his wife, committed and loyal to King David's throne. Conspired to cover up the adultery then orchestrating his death sending him to battle on the front line as a means of covering up the crime.. 


The cover up is always worse than the crime! Everyone is down with that in this day in time and GOD still watching and if he corrected King David who worshiped and adored GOD, who are we as a Nation that should get away free?

WORDS of MASS Destruction is the cause of many maladies cause problems... Wickedness is inbred meaning that we all have sinned and do so on a daily basis it has no color basis.
As Human beings we need to stop beating up on one another and trying to make one feel that perfection exist. It doesn't in this dimension. It exists, but we all must atone even you my friend. We may fellowship but each person is accountable by knowing GOD for yourself; with Jesus as your advocate in Heaven meaning you must come to a point in your life to accept Christ in your heart is a intimate decision. That's definitely a case by case basis. 
Yet not one of us even my Bishop can claim perfection this is what we strive for into eternity. WMD is the tongue once we learn to control it and LOVE one another color won't matter..... not one bit! Speak LIFE to loved ones and friends instead of lies, rumors, and gossip. Stop trying to straighten out someone else's business and work on your own. My take on it is that even during these hard times unemployment rising, foreclosures, homelessness; the celebrity sites are booming with gossip about this celeb and that rap artist.. In other words even if the grass looks greener in your friends backyard just stay focus on you and water the grass in your own yard. Put energy into showing respect for others and a kind word from time to time.

Well, most of those terrible things that are taking place in our homeland today I believe not what nobody done said is of how we treat our fellow Americans and take much for granted. con't below;

We live in a democracy and our republic allows freedom of expression, differences of opinions at the end of the debate in a free society composed of many races, creeds, and colors we learn how to Unite as one Nation*

It's just this simple if you can't say anything nice; don't say nothing at all. Those unkind words, thoughts, which become deeds could hurt someone you love or care about.


We learn how to "Compromise"
Footnote* Debate is healthy when you debate facts surrounding problems in order to achieve a common goal that benefits all not just a few. 

 America is a land full of immigrants and most of these people against immigration and President Obama neglect this fact we all traveled by boat to get here all races except the AZTEC, Comanche, Navajo, Black Foot, nameless Native American tribes all on reservations in this country in poverty as we speak... now they're flaming more division by talking of repealing the 14th Amendment. GOD is all over our pledge of allegiance, Declaration of Independence; Constitution, and saved the best for last our Money



"In GOD We Trust," 

Hateful speeches and puppet dolls dangling to disrespect our first African American President Obstructing our government by withholding a congressional vote in order to benefit only 1 group of individuals. I was listening to the figures of what the companies would have to pay based on profit level of small business $400 pays $12k more in taxes once tax cuts expire so they rather see this country collapse instead of vote to give small businesses help which would help the really small businesses 1 man entrepreneurs hire helpers Americans who take money directly to retailers for cars, clothes, this is the average worker the major consumer's. Sending jobs overseas is their policy in order to give away $millions in bonuses yet they upset about expiring tax cuts and paying higher taxes, I struggle to get to work pay check to paycheck and living in a modest small room. But I thank GOD for it as if it were a mansion and will continue to give Him praises & honor for all that I have life, liberty, and  a chance to achieve prosperity. 

I leaned my lesson by being humble, and controlling the words the flow out of  my mouth, and better than that how I treat and approach others. That's not easy everyday. I still cuss... All kidding aside. So this might seem preachy, political, and OMG how dare she go there to those who know me but if you live long enough you pray hard enough GOD can and will change your life if you really seek to serve Him, I'm always praying for Him to keep me humble enough to be led and taught by good leaders raised up by Him. That I have the strength to come under authority let somebody love me and take some risk by faith, speak life into your life and the lives of others stop being so hateful if you can't help a brother out as a hand up don't say a negative comment ~ and for those who feel pitiful or pity others stop that, speak life over that person, you too are highly favored and truly blessed even when you can't see it! Doesn't mean I trust every human being that crosses my path but I can be more patient and understanding while they are journeying onward and if I can assist in anyway be willing if GOD makes me able or given me enough to do the right by others. A hand up not a hand out.. theirs a difference.

Take time before you speak to understand the power you hold; you may consider it as insignificant. The way words may come across to whatever group of people you hang out with ( your inner circle or outer circle) that value your opinion{s}. Be mindful that when you prophesy or project negative words then later to find out it came around. 


Speak life to some body's life, and be encouraging. Learn how to step out on faith when a situation appears hopeless; learn to stop hating long enough to listen and discern what makes sense vs. what is just mean spirited; ignorance; or plain old wasted energy.  These are the people who believe in the same Jesus I believe in yet they forget is last commandment "

John 15:1-16Amplified Bible (AMP)

15 I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vine dresser.
Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit.
You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you].
Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.
I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.
If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned.
If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.
When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you showand prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine.
I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [[a]continue in His love with Me].
10 If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commandments and live on in His love.
11 I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joyand gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing.
12 This is My commandment: that you love one another [just] as I have loved you.
13 No one has greater love [no one has shown stronger affection] than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends.
14 You are My friends if you keep on doing the things which I command you to do.
15 I do not call you servants (slaves) any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing (working out). But I have called you My friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from My Father. [I have revealed to you everything that I have learned from Him.]
16 You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as [b]presenting all that I Am], He may give it to you.

 and lastly, this how I can prove what you speak out of your mouth goes to God's ears.

Read below!!!
  

**Colossians 3 

Amplified Bible (AMP)

3 If then you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.
For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in [the splendor of His] glory.
So kill (deaden, [a]deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members [those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin]: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God).
It is on account of these [very sins] that the [holy] anger of God is ever coming upon the sons of disobedience (those who are obstinately opposed to the divine will),
Among whom you also once walked, when you were living in and addicted to [such practices].
But now put away and rid yourselves [completely] of all these things: anger, rage, bad feeling toward others, curses and slander, and foulmouthed abuse and shameful utterances from your lips!
Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old (unregenerate) self with its evil practices,
10 And have clothed yourselves with the new [spiritual self], which is [ever in the process of being] renewed and remolded into [fuller and more perfect [b]knowledge upon] knowledge after the image (the likeness) of Him Who created it.
11 [In this new creation all distinctions vanish.] There [c]is no room for and there can be neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, [nor difference between nations whether alien] barbarians or Scythians [[d]who are the most savage of all], nor slave or free man; but Christ is all and in all [[e]everything and everywhere, to all men, without distinction of person].
12 Clothe yourselves therefore, as God’s own chosen ones (His own picked representatives), [who are] purified and holy and well-beloved [by God Himself, by putting on behavior marked by] tenderhearted pity and mercy, kind feeling, a lowly opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, [and] patience [which is tireless and long-suffering, and has the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper].
13 Be gentle and forbearing with one another and, if one has a difference (a grievance or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has [freely] forgiven you, so must you also [forgive].
14 And above all these [put on] love and enfold yourselves with the bond of perfectness [which binds everything together completely in ideal harmony].
15 And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ’s] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always].
16 Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to God with [His] grace in your hearts.
17 And whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him.

**Keep striving for perfection cause even when you fail or succeed. Promises from the Grace of GOD


**By Faith you can wake up to live another day don't quit just try, try again.....be Mindful of the"Words", - that come out of your mouth and the deeds that follow, negative words bring on a bad day; positive words, bring about a better attitude towards yourself and others so smile find the pathway to brighter days.........

Peace and God Bless

"You can't run from your Purpose" feat TD Jakes... The Pursuit Of Purpose




Jeremiah 32:19 great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind; you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve.



Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall


But, once the clouds roll by the rain dries up, we've grown from the Storms of Life waterfalls. 

Known as the Emerald Isle, Ireland is so green because it receives a lot of precipitation. Typical winter weather in Ireland is clouds and rain with the occasional sunny spell, also the Amazon Forest are examples the beautiful landscapes and the Tallest Trees.

As trees grow, they help stop climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. Trees provide many benefits to us, every day. 

Without them we'd slowly die. Trees contribute to their environment by providing oxygen, improving air quality, climate amelioration, conserving water, preserving soil, and supporting wildlife. During the process of photosynthesis, trees take in carbon dioxide and produce the oxygen we breathe.

This is their "Purpose" to protecting all life on this Planet.



As humans, we have Purpose driven lives that most of us never realize, or those that do feel the burden of living it out day by day. Taking the bitter with the sweet we make plans with high expectations anticipating success or watching as our hands are tied powerless to do anything  painful experiences. It's not coincidence. GOD has brought us into this World to fulfil his purpose once our purpose in this life has be served at the appointed time the journey ends. Our reward for staying "on purpose" is eternal life, a legacy that reflects our footprint on Earth in this life; full of faith, hope, and charity. 

Colossians 1:16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.


THE PURSUIT OF PURPOSE

Pursue your highest calling by discovering your purpose. ... These 10 quotes from Bishop Jakes will inspire you to relentelessly pursue your purpose in life.


I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:16-19)

Amen!

ARE WE STILL ON? black poetry - featuring Nature Boy Tribute





Black Poetry

ARE WE STILL ON?



I wake each morning with the same thing on my mind, wondering about you and watching time fly. The dawn only reminds me of how I enjoyed watching you sleep and being captivated by the peacefulness of your face. Silently watching you breathe, feeling your heart beat, and the warm softness of your caramel coated skin gently touching up against mine.

Dragging myself up out of unconsciousness my mind wonders, are you secure, safe, and does he miss the softness of my kiss…. Are we still on and does the feelings of love still linger within. My desire for you only gets deeper as each day passes seems like I’ve caught something like a bad virus. Can’t seem to shake you holding on as hard as I can to what now seems to be somebody else’s man

I keep trying to convince myself of the love we hold as true telling myself, “Nothing and no other woman could ever replace you”, but the question still pops up again, Are we still on, or is this the bitter end.

God! I keep praying bring him home soon, don’t wanna lose this feeling. Our house is like one big empty room. No peace between us whenever we’re together, but being apart is worse than ever. Luther was right about a House is not a home, the end result when your man is left to roam. You wonder, Are we still on?


Dedicated to the love of my life.....

"Nature Boy"

NAT KING COLE LYRICS

There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far
Very far, over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day,
One magic day he passed my way
While we spoke of many things
Fools and Kings
This he said to me:

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return".

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return".

[Instrumental]

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return".
The song writer – eden ahbez (he insisted that his name will not be capitalized),
A Brooklyn born, homeless by choice in Californiamystic and spiritual eccentric – was partially Jewish.  The tune was apparently an older Eastern European Jewish tune – Shvayg mayn harts (In Yidish – Be Still, My Heart) by Herman Yablokuff, who sued ahbez and won $25,000 in a one time settlement.  





Growing into God's Favor




Have you ever gone through a situation so bad that you thought no one in the world could possibly be in a more terrible fix than you? The experience was beyond comprehension and it seemed impossible that you ever get out of it but somehow you did? I know people who lost their jobs, and as a result, lost their homes, cars or went bankrupt. Now they're in a better job, making better money and experiencing success in other areas of life only to be challenged by scandalous criticism from so-called "friends" and even family.
Isn't it amazing how a person can go through extreme difficulties in life, but as soon as God delivers them out of that situation into His blessing, the people around them begin questioning their progress? They begin to prejudge the miracle God has performed by saying things like: "I don't know how she got that job; she was just a secretary before." "How can he live in a house like that; he must be selling drugs." "What are they grinning about; last year they were talking about getting a divorce." Can you relate to what I'm saying?
You may be surprised, but your best moment often provokes envy and jealousy in others. God's favor on your life becomes the source of their frustration. In fact, many believe your favor was at their expense. Unfortunately they never muster up the courage to celebrate the big break you've been waiting for all your life.

I am reminded of the story in the Bible where a man had been blind since birth. When Jesus and His disciples came up on the man, the disciples questioned Jesus saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him" (John 9:2-3).After Jesus healed the man, you would think that the people who knew him would have celebrated and been happy for him. Instead great controversy broke out and they began to question his healing. They questioned his parents to the point that they doubted that the man was who he said he was. Worse than that, they questioned the work of Jesus.

You may be wondering why things are as they are in your life right now, or why you had to go through what you went through to arrive at the place you are today. Quite honestly, some things have no explanation. And unfortunately bad things do happen to good people. But God has purpose in everything; and only He can bring you out. God wants to reveal His work in your life.
Whatever you're waiting for right now, consciously or subconsciously, hold on. Your help is on the way! As you wait, begin preparing yourself for the backlash of God's favor. Determine that you will walk in your miracle despite what anyone says or thinks. People may prejudge you, question God's blessing on your life and hate you for being chosen. Don't worry. Grow into His favor and enjoy the benefits of your miracle.

Heaven Help Us



“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”   Galatians 2:20


2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.


Based upon the above text the Children of Israel were in alot of trouble, I always like that there is nothing new under the sun.  But to go a little deeper, "if nothing changes, Nothing Changes.  

Fast forward we are now living in 21st century dealing with zenith speed in technology and have evolved that if you were to read the above text you'd think the author Isaiah was describing this century.  I enjoy reviewing and posting archives of older posts from Empowering Spirits but lately its been a tug at my heart torn to deliver a word that's really not mine.  I'm not claiming vision or even that GOD whispered in my ear.  Can't even describe what this is exactly so I'll just give GOD the great IAM all the Glory take nothing for myself.
The politics, the people, the music, the movies and television seem to reflect a whole different world from the one I grew up in and alot of us "Boomers" I'm a late boomer born in the 60's are catching our breath just to keep up which brings me to my current condition my profession is now as contractor and previously a civil service government employee I've tried to reinvent myself as times changed so I've always been sort of nosey and tech savvy.  Always wanted to rise above my peers on my level not yours. See my journey has brought me closer due to circumstances all beyond my control to my inner spiritual being and connected me directly to the source.  I'm not a minister not really interested in that field but I am interested in what the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth has planted inside of me, a vision to interpret and see the world as it relates to that Book.

So I really was wrestling with this blog because I'm just gonna type and let it all flow, then when I read it for edit and my editing skills are very mediocre cause I'm not a journalist either I majored in Sociolgy with an eye on pre-med when I found out the math was involved and cadavers changed my whole life went in a direction opposite of that didn't finish college and had scholarships but I was very sharp in my thinking and Richard Nixon did more for our black community with the CETA programs backed by federal dollars gave alot of us a leg up even our community leaders who sponsored these summer/winter jobs programs for youth in the inner cities you could get a work permit at 14 and have enough summer pay to buy clothes and shoes for fall or you save it pay your parents cause my mother always made me give her something.  Contribute to the family.  We've lost that in our homes and here in our Nation.

America is great we have evolved over time but not atoned for there is so much harm that has been swept up under the Constitutional rug.  I just feel so compelled can't knock this nation either because I love my country and know no other, yet my curiosty caused me to do some research and what I discovered about myself, my family, and then overall community was from the time our ancestors got to this continent up til now, we never left most of us don't even know who we really are.  It struck me because alot of urban blacks can't afford the best of anything we have HMO's not private doctors once upon a time we did but not in the 21st century they use to come to your home and if your parents didn't have all the money it was okay RIP Dr. Robinson, and you trusted him he trusted you the family paid the bill.  But unless you were bleeding or couldn't breath like me I had ashthma you had the home remedies.  Things have changed but nothing changed let me dig deeper so you don't think I'm rambling.  If you compare our plight as a race with other immigrants who were invited to come and how well they weren't received America always made you work hard for your dreams but if you had some advantages it was somewhat easier vs. slaves who didn't migrate but were brought here from the distance in ships stacked upon one another it struck me that I can't smell my own underarms when I'm musty what must've been their experience yet 200+years later their children, children, children, children don't even know who they are.  

When you don't know who you are you tend to identify or adapt to the environment take on the languages accents and ways of the natives funny things I found out that Africans were coming here years before Columbus trading with the Native Americans and had settled here with them Cherokee tribe South and West Indians are proof of that.  Yet the slaves struggled to pioneer without any assistance from their masters after they were freed they opened up the boarder and allowed Europeans more access which disallowed the freemasons who were skilled and black from being hired and they couldn't earn a decent wage so it was easier to be a servant and get paid if you got paid.  Cause you have to understand they existed many, many years in the 18th and 19th Century without any human rights.  I am one of those children, and I don't know who I am what tribe and tongue colors that represent my family or Africans have family Crest and tribal dynasties yet I can't relate to any of that.  One of my friends who was from Liberia laughed at one day because I was wearing a afrocentric sweater it was beautiful she said "what tribe does those colors belong too", I said huh? She laughed out loud and said you black americans really don't know nothing about who you are then she told me those colors belong to a tribe in Africa she thought I knew.  In other words, she was testing me.

Now we read above about the Children of Israel well through time man has grossly lied about the true Children of Israel Hebrews but it's okay cause we still all related at the end of the day but I noticed that the darker children on this earth have always suffered at the hand of some regime or government do your research like I did if you feel something about this blog.  Because this is basically how I'm gonna pause cause it's always more to come, in 1938 Adolf Hitler who was a monster and beast killed alot of Jewish people the Holocaust was horriffic no words to describe it was unhuman to say the least and I believe each culture has suffered and GOD who loves us all seen all of that and put favor on America to as King David with a small but mighty we stood up against that monster and won but to atone for all they had suffered UN was established and settlement was built to repatriat them to Israel which is they're homeland except it's not, not really but they are converted and loyal to their faith as were the Children of Israel who were forced out Temple was destroyed all that's left now in 21st century is the waling wall where the Rabi's pray.  But accommodations were made alot of them from Germany had already come over to the "New World" and did movies and films, scientist, authors, philosophers like Dr. Freud.  We owe alot of the great things about our country to their creativity and vision of America but to save time I'll just make my point.  African Americans who were grossly mistreated and maybe not in the methods Adolf Hitler used but to be stripped of your heritage, your native tongue, not be allowed to read and write, eating scrapes pig feet chitterlings, neckbones and watching the master take liberties with a mans wife or even the master wife wanted the stud it happened did you see Roots and that was just one mans story.  12 years a slave was one mans story well it was millions of us here during 18 and 19th centuries who don't know who we are so our last names became whoever owned us.  Think about that and when jewish people came they changed their names so anglos wouldn't discriminate against them they happened to be one cut above us in regard to position in life here in America, they were disrespected and hated too but they had one option a right to duel citizenship and to go to Israel if they wanted Black people don't know where to go they never ever offered to get the Continent of Africa to even designate a piece of land for African Americans you have to spend thousands of dollars just to find out what tribe you belong too and even then it's inconclusive.  So all that being said why is it that we've ALL RACES become resentful and entitled?  Why 
Corinthians 13:4-7

This is a description of Agape Love. It is described as being patient, kind, truthful, unselfish, trusting, believing, hopeful, and enduring. It is not jealous, boastful, arrogant, rude, selfish, or angry. True love never fails. The description perfectly fits God's love toward us, and should be the way we love each other and God. However, I have never met any person who perfectly fulfills this biblical definition of love. The Bible says that this unconditional love is more important than everything else (a partial list includes oratory ability, prophecy, knowledge, faith, philanthropy and hope). All of these things, which are "good" things, will pass away. Only love is eternal, since love will be the basis of eternal life. In fact, when Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment was, He said, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND." (Matthew 22:37)10 He then added that the second most important law was "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." Jesus said that the entire law was dependent upon these two commandments
To be continued I love you all, #SHOWSOMELOVE

The most famous biblical chapter on love is from 1 Corinthians:

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:1-13)
