HOW CAN I SAY GOOD-BYE TO YESTERDAY?????????

..for I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; WHICH IS FAR BETTER: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you...........

ST.LOUIS, MO......... Some days you feel like u just don't want to be here anymore. Today is one of those days.

 This morning I attended the home going services for Michael N. Bishop (11-29-1954 - 09-01-2018). To those of u reading this blog that didn't know him.........."boy, did you miss out." Mike - the name that only a select few of us could call him - was that guy who always wore a smile. And his smile was contagious - when u saw him smiling u had to smile as well. So when ever and where ever u ran into  Mike it was a good encounter, because it always started on a good note. And it would end on a good note because Mike was not the kind of guy you got mad at, u just could not have a beef with Michael Bishop.

And if anybody had a reason to have a beef with him.....it would be me. You see by the time Mike was 10 years old, he had the passion, ability, skill, and determination to be one of the greatest major league baseball players that ever played the game. Mike could put Ozzie Smith to shame.....4real!!!

 Because he was so good, he got certain props in the -  ruff and tuff -  North St. Louis neighborhood that we grew up in. Having said that.....nearly ever time Mike saw me he would say, "Ike, howcum u don't have no hair on your legs man, ha,ha,ha?" I had no answer. I was clueless. I was nine years old. What did I know about having hair on my legs? Mike had hair on his legs, but I didn't, so it was a standing joke, whenever we would meet. I grew to look forward to those encounters, even though I knew I was going to get "dogged out" by Mike, I knew we would both have a few laughs and keep it moving.

Mike never knew it, but I envied him so much because of his father. His father was the reason he played baseball on such a high level and he was also the reason that Mike developed into the kind, compassionate, family man that he became. Just like today, in those days, there weren't  many of us that had that positive role model in the home.

Having a father, at home, did/and does make a major difference in the life of young black males. Don't let anyone deceive you into believing that a mother can do it all by herself. A mother can raise a decent male human being; she cannot raise a man.

Because of that negative component in my life and that positive component in Mike's life the roads we traveled were, most definitely  headed in different directions. I dropped out of high school, fathered my first child, got married, and was headed for Viet Nam, by my 17th birthday. Mike, on the other hand, graduated from high school and college, coached little league baseball, got married, raised a family, retired with over 30 years at General Electric, and had his own radio show(Old Soul Harmony...KDHX 88.1) for over ten years.

 Mike's father had given him a special gift.

He had exposed Mike to the importance of following his passions, which led to opportunities, which allowed him to tap into the power within.

Mike learned that viable secret about life and living early on. He learned that he had gifts and that his gifts were to be used for the benefit of others which in turn would give him peace within himself. That's why he was always smiling....... he had found his joy and peace within. He was pleasing his creator and he was happy and at peace with the world.

Some people never become aware of the secret to life. The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, ( 3-25-1942 - 08-16-2018), knew the secret to life.

 Aretha's father was the minister at New Betheal Baptist Church where she was taught and encouraged to share the gifts that God had given her with the world. Entertaining was her passion. Sharing her talent was her gift to the world. Sharing brought joy to her soul and pleased her Master.

 Aretha had that inner peace which surpasses all understanding. And even though she had her share of heart-ache and pain -(like starting a family when she was still a child herself )- she never doubted that God was on her side. She went on to become a song writer, actress, pianist, and maybe the greatest female singer that ever lived, as well as being a civil rights, and women's rights activist and humanitarian icon.

Former U.S. Senator and Viet Nam War (POW) John McCain, (08-29-1936 - 08-25-2018, knew the secret to life.

John McCain, was another man who's life touched mine in a substantial way. John McCain, survived not one - but two -plane crashes. He spent 5 1/2 years in a Vietnamese prisoner of war camp, two of those years were in solitary confinement. During that ordeal he attempted to commit suicide.....twice.

For the record, let it be known that I wouldn't wish being a prisoner on anyone, and most definitely not solitary confinement. But if you have never experienced it u have no idea the magnitude of thoughts, including suicide, that go through your mind when u have NO ONE to talk to, see, or touch, but the God that lives within.  When u spend days and nights, and nights and days, week after week, and month after month, in solitary, you have reached the point of no return. When death becomes your victory and u give out and give up, the creator of the world, that made you for a special reason and a special task, takes control and gently guides u into your purpose, and you survive and succeed, against all odds.

I will forever miss those three unique and beautiful souls mentioned above. For me, something will be forever missing. The world will be forever a harder, and colder, and different place without their presence in it.

Even though I know that those that die in the way and will of God can never die. Their flesh is forever gone, but the spirit that their flesh was housing will be here forever. I know that. But still, this place that we call earth is some how - LESS BEAUTIFUL AND LESS PEACEFUL THAN IT WAS - when they were here.

Which brings me to, probably, the greatest lose that I have sustained(so far) this year. My Pastor, the Reverend Vassar Keys (04-18-1929 - 05-18-2018).

I have been in amazement of this man for as long as I can remember. For a while,  he shared the same mean street, in the same neighborhood, as Michael(Mike)Bishop and I, in North St. Louis. For me, he always exemplified, and personified, that he too, had found and was in possession of, the secret to life and living.

I returned from federal prison in 1990. And at the request of my mother(another great soul that I miss dearly) I started to return to the church that my biological father(The Reverend Sherman Glover) had founded in 1931.

 My Pastor, who had known me since my birth, was then on the Board of Deacons. For three straight years he wouldn't talk nor speak to me. I couldn't figure it out. Was it my breath? Was my deodorant not working as it should? Here I was in awe of this man and he wont even speak - let alone - hold a conversation with me.

 I would make it my business to get in his path every chance I got........and all he would say was "Praise Him." That's it, that's all I could get out of him was "Praise Him." I have grown into the knowledge and understanding to realize that  -  that was all I needed to know. He was guiding me and grooming me into the direction I (must) go to understand and utilize the power that I had at my disposal.

He became My Pastor in January 2006.

From 2006-2013(over 7 years) he put me in God's University where I was trained, ordained, and certified an Apostle.

 He assigned to me a designated seat, in an holy place, where he breathed on me, and enlightened me during Sunday school, while he unfolded the mysteries of the gospel, as it had been revealed to him by my father.

I am forever grateful to this man for all that he has done to me and for me. He gave my wife, my youngest son and daughter, and my father-in-law an introduction to the spiritual power that resides with the inner-man and women after regeneration. Then, after re-birth, he started the process of teaching them how to use it. I miss u Pastor Keys. Your presence in this earth, and in our place of worship, is just not the same without u. I have been taught how to carry-on, but still, I miss u. Maybe, one day I will have someone else that I can call My Pastor..........but not now...its too soon.

Right now, I'm still in mourning, and I don't know when I will stop, only God knows that. Hopefully, no one gets it twisted. I still have my joy and I'm at peace, nothing can change that, but just like Michael(Mike) Bishop, and Aretha Franklin, and John McCain, this world, that is not my home, is just a colder, harder, crueler, place without My Pastor in it.

And some days u just feel like u don't want to be here anymore. Today, is one of those days.

Marvel not; ye must be born again.

POTUS, PHARAOH, OR POO BUTT?.................

And when his family heard of it, they went out to lay hands on him: for they said, "He has lost his mind."

In the beginning stage of the earthy ministry of Yeshua(Jesus) The Christ, those that thought they knew Him, those close to Him, were assured that He had, in fact, gone mad, gone crazy.....flipped out.....lost His mind.

However, in reality, He was just going through a metamorphoses.

A transitioning from human into human and divine. Transitioning into His God Mind.

This transitioning made Him different - made Him a rebel and a revolutionary -  made Him a threat to men.....and a threat to the statuesque.

Most people have a hard time understanding a person that is different.

 For many people it is extremely difficult seeing things from the  prospective of a person that has seen,  done, and lived enough and experienced enough of life to see things differently than the majority may see it.

Intellectuals, as well as most common, ordinary, holy and religious folks need to be reminded {on a regular} that most of the Bible was written from a jail cell and not by people sitting up in the temple, or mosque, or church all day.

                                Christ was sent to work in the streets -  not in a building.

Hebrew scripture indicates that the "stone that the builder rejected(the outcast) became the "plume line" or perfect example of the model required for perfection in Christ.

Gods man, then and now, always seems to many people to be short of a full deck.

You know that someone who{ by perfect people standards} is not in possession of it all.

They either make people extremely uncomfortable or they make people love them so much they would follow them into the wilderness. They have the power to fill-a-room, or empty- a-room. That certain some one with a style, charisma, inner passion and drive so explosive that most people - just don't get it - many kaint get it - then there are those who are jealous and just don't want to get it.

You know God is a specialist. And often, He just breaks the mold on some of  His children and no matter what, they will always march to a different beat than everyone else is marching to. God takes them through and God always brings them out.

Gods man may be "krazy" but he is far from "a fool."

 And in times like these it would behoove us all to be sure that we can discern the difference between the two.

With that being said, let us now turn our attention to the world around us. The current POTUS recently called Haiti and African nations "shithole countries." And at the writing of this blog he is separating Latino families and incarcerating babies at the border.

What a surprise?........Not really.

Because until 1865, under the color of law, this is exactly what white amerikkka did to black people. First upon our arrival, and later at birth, they separated black children from their parents, never to be reunited.

The problem is not just that the POTUS called and treats people of color bad; but his comments suggest that these countries people are all bad.

He went further to say that America should take more people from "countries like Norway." Explicitly singling out predominantly white nations as favorable.

  Global War in the Middle East is imminent while at the same time civil war in the streets of america against oppressed people is on the horizon.

We are experiencing extreme heat, floods, fires, mud slides, hurricanes, snow storms, earthquakes, tsunami, wind storms, tornado's, and bitter cold temperatures like this planet has never seen.

Hatred, jealousy, murder and mayhem is at an all time high in every city in the country and there is not a solution in sight.

When you consider all the madness that is playing out in our neighborhoods, and in our communities, on our jobs, in our churches, in our schools, in our homes and all around us isn't it obvious that God has gotten tired of the disobedience of human beings and has allowed the master of deceit(Satan) to unleash unbridled chaos, sin, and unrighteousness into the earth.

That's why we have Pharaoh in the White House for at least three more years and maybe even longer.

 The Good News is that when God installs and uses a crude and vicious task master and Pharaoh like the current POTUS, He does it for a reason. The reason is so He can bring one forth, like Moses, to led the people out of the darkness of this world into the marvelous light of freedom, justice, equality, and salvation.

Just like we knew that He could and just like we knew that He would, God has promised to send His Holy Spirit manifested in the flesh of a man to retrieve His children and return their hearts and minds back to the Father.

God IS REAL.

 I am at this very moment "over joyed and thankful" beyond measure. Why? Because I know my redeemer lives...He lives in me.        And its always darkest just before the dawn.

Satan is a lie and his imps are poo butts.

According to The Urban Dictionary the definition of a 'poo butt' is: someone who is a wannabee. Someone who believes they are above it all. Someone who has or think they have control of tons of money, influence and power. Normally, they treat most people like dirt, they are snotty, they may live in a ritzy area of town. Typically, they are also very rude.  They have no social or people skills.They are basically haters.                                                                                                                                 
                  (ENTER IN THIS SPACE THE POO BUTT VISUAL OF YOUR CHOICE ):

                                      (the snake brother Bains from Malcolm X Movie)

Children of The Most High God we must learn to surrender to Gods indwelling spirit and then learn to relax and trust Gods timing while at the same time seeking to rise above our present circumstances using the gifts, talents and skills that God has provided for us to use. We already have the victory.

Try God.

Let nothing and nobody become more important than pleasing God.

Let nothing really matter: Because God is in control and its not about us......its about pleasing Him.

Marvel not; yea must be born again.

ADDICKTION

 "Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?"

The Hebrew Bible and the Qur'an record the story of judgement against the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.   The children of God, because of their willing separation from God, evident by their grievous, continuous, deviate, sexual orientation, and rebellion ------- were about to pay for their disobedience. God said, "I will go down now and see." Abraham - Gods man of that time - saw God coming and intervened with God on humanities behalf. 

He inquired if God would spare the city if 50 righteous could be found within the city?

God agreed. He would not destroy the city if 50 righteous could be found.

Abraham then inquired of God, "What about 45? What if 45 righteous can be found?

Again, God agreed. He would not destroy the city if 45 righteous could be found.

Abraham then inquired  of God for "mercy" at lower numbers( 40, then 30, then 20, and finally 10).

God agreed each time. None could be found. That same night fire and brimstone rained down on the inhabitants and destroyed them all.

Currently, mass media outlets have been bombarding us with a plethora of information concerning the  sexual assaults and misconduct against women, by wealthy, powerful and affluent (mostly white) men.

Let me first apologize to all the women and children - who are being and those who have been -  victimized by  the satanic spirit that is so easily produced when you combine money, and power, and a penis. 

This evil behavior can best be described as a "god complex" that takes control of an individuals thoughts, deeds, and actions and makes an individual behave as if there is no law....Gods or mans....that should be honored and obeyed.

It produces a  supremacist mentality of  "how dare u?" - 'who do u think u are?" - style of swag and demeanor. The mind-set of this satanic demon is, "what makes u think u can deny YOUR BODY or anything else that entertains me or gives me pleasure?" My money, power, and penis gives me the ability to define who succeeds and who fails, who wins and who loses, and even, who lives and who dies.

As evil as it sounds, and is, we must never forget that amerikkka, at its inception, was founded on the premise that people of color and women, had no inalienable rights that a white man was bound to respect or uphold. And although legislation was passed saying other-wise, nothing has changed, because the state of, primarily, mens heart has never changed.

What people of color and women were/are allowed to do with their bodies was/is a function of what white men permitted/permit.

The arrogant conduct and behavior of corruptible and vile men that is being displayed against women's reproductive and sexual stewardship should be viewed as a "wake-up-call' to remind women to accept and never forget their place.............at the beck and call of white men.

History is saturated with stories of abuse, primarily by white men, against people of color and women due to the combination of money, power and a penis. 

On any given Sunday, black men risk life and limp, in the coliseums of amerikkka. Like the Roman gladiators of ancient times, they perform, like high priced slaves, for the financial benefit of rich white men and the entertainment of an overwhelming white male audience.

According to Merriam Webster, the voice of linguistic authority, an addiction: is a brain disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli..... despite adverse consequences.

 However, an ad-dick-tion: is a brain and penis disorder characterized, infused, and aggravated by the addition of money and power. 

Women can't be addickted. Why?  Because they don't have a penis.

 Just like a man can never fully understand the miracle that God performs in a women's womb during child birth, a women can never understand the "spell" of being connected (mentally and physically) to a live penis.......with it's own satanic mind. 

Women became casualties and statistics of those in possession of a penis........period. A women can be "heavily" under the influence, but she kaint be addickted.

And even more women become abused by those males, not just those with power and a penis, but those clinically diagnosed  with an addicktion....the terrible three....money, power and a penis.

Yet, in a women's case, often time, the narrative gets twisted. 

It can still be about money and power but most women "think" they have become addickted because they don't know, understand, comprehend, or appreciate their special and particular place in relationship to God and His plan for salvation and the women's part in building and sustaining a nation.

If you have never been in a position to be in possession of all three (money, power, and a penis) you will never quite understand the satanic disorder and the seemingly effortless, destructive behavior that comes a long with having all three.

The current POTUS has an addicktion. 

Because of this disorder, as well as others, it is beyond scary to imagine just what he is capable of and just how far he will take us toward the brink of annihilation, just to prove who has the biggest penis, the most power of mass destruction, and the most money to define the outcome.

I live in hope. 

Why?

 Because God has promised us that whenever righteousness wanes and unrighteousness increases "I send myself forth." For the protection of the good and for the destruction of evil, and for the establishment of righteousness, "I Come" into being...........age after age. 

My expectancy determines my outcome...........yours too.

Marvel not; ye must be born again.

DUST, DIPPERS, WATER

                       

      Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

 Before I begin to pour out my soul in this blog page, I want to take this time to thank God.

 As we enter into this season of giving, I'm thanking God for so many things. 

If I was to start naming things that I thank him for, I would undoubtedly, leave a great portion of things out. Because I am unaware of all the things he does for me. All I know is that he is, forever, working behind the scenes on my behalf and on the behalf of all his children(key word: children). He is, forever, opening doors for me that I am unable to see. He is, constantly, keeping his hands of  protection and mercy all around me and those that I love. 

Right now at this very moment, all my needs or met.

 Further, I am also assured, that he is about to release blessings in my favor greater than I could ever think or imagine.   

 How can I be so assured? 

I'm assured because I stay connected to God via his spirit.

 I strive to live my life, on a daily basis, proving to "the God that created and developed me in the womb" that I appreciate the manifestation of his powerful, wise, and intelligent spirit intervening in all my daily affairs by ordering my thoughts, steps, and actions.

I can never thank God enough for his consistent and constant spiritual presence in my life.

He persistently reminds me that I have been regenerated into a spiritual being having a human experience.
I am no longer a human being following a powerless religious dogma and belief that has lulled - too many of us - to sleep.

 Rebirth has awakened my dark and dull understanding of who and what God really is and what is required of me to stay connected to the source of all life.

I am forever thankful and mindful of the fact that, so easily, my life could have taken another turn or twist.

For example:

I remember Malcolm Bliss Psychiatric Hospital in St. Louis Missouri.(a.k.a the crazy house)

As a child growing up in the 50's and 60's, I remember all too well, Malcolm Bliss being the place where people with mental health issues and psychiatric concerns went or were taken for care. Every once in a while I would overhear someone saying, "They took him to Malcolm Bliss: Needless to say, you seldom heard about them coming back. And if they did come back, they were never quite the same.

Some people didn't belong there.

Some may have behaved in an irrational manner one day and found themselves swept away to Malcolm Bliss for financial gain. Because in those days, when poverty was at an all time high, who ever admitted/committed you would receive a stipend for turning you in.

While, on the other-hand -  some  most definitely - needed to be restrained from commingling with other ["normal"] city residents. Why?  Because they had proven that they could not live peacefully and honorably in civilization.

Currently, there are  not many - if any - such facilities any where in the country adequately equipped to properly care for and restrain, such an enormous amount, of adults and children suffering with "mental illnesses and disease."

Unfortunately, due to political oversight, or by intent and design, people in desperate need of psychiatric care have become our neighbors.

They live in our communities, they work beside us, they share the highways with us, they use public transportation, they move freely in our shopping malls and grocery stores, they are in our military, on our police departments, in our jails and prisons(guards and inmates), and {God help us} they are holding positions in our schools, hospitals, and places of worship.

In the 1970's, if you were a person with virtually, no conscience, connections, cash, and you had a desire to make a plethora of money, you could purchase a 55 gallon drum of Phencyclidine (PCP), also known as angel dust, dippers, or water for around $25,000 - $35,000 dollars.

The DEA determined that individuals trafficking in PCP derived a gross income from their initial investment to be in the millions of dollars, depending on how the product was dispensed.

 In 1978, People Magazine and Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes, called PCP the country's "number one" drug problem.

Why?

Mainly because of the psychological effects consistent with the short term use and long term mental disabilities associated with the use of the drug. Effects including but not limited to:
 - severe changes in body image
 - loss of ego boundaries
 - paranoia                                                                       

 - depersonalization
 - hallucinations
 - homicide and suicide impulses
 - aggressive behavior, altered mood states, and an unpredictable, unnatural physical strength.

Studies indicates that there is an extremly high rate of irreversible loss of brain function attributed to chronic users of PCP in any shape, form or fashion.

I would be lying if I said that, prior to my federal incarceration in 1986 for cocaine trafficking, I didn't sample PCP as a potential business venture. In my pursuit to obtain a fortune - by any means necessary - I had to know - first hand - the effect of the product that I was contemplating investing in.

I would also be lying if I said I sampled it more than once.

Why? Because once was enough!!!!!

Why? Primarily, because I never wanted to be THAT HIGH!!!!!!

Thank God he never let me have the mind to want to be "so high" on narcotics or alcohol that I wasn't conscience of my whereabouts and surroundings.

Further, I couldn't comprehend or stomach the devastation and havoc I saw PCP having in our neighborhoods and communities. Therefore, I opted out of it being part of my entrepreneurship in narcotics.

 Cocaine was bad enough; but at least it originated from a naturally growing plant/leaf and was not concocted in a factory or laboratory somewhere.

Today, you can walk into any convenience store, tobacco shop, or head shop and purchase(cheap, real cheap) Synthetic cannabinoids or sometimes - misleadingly - referred to as synthetic marijuana.

Synthetic cannabinoids has the same - no actually - a worse effect on humans beings than PCP ever had. Why? Because synthetic cannabinoids has proven to induce cannibalism in its users.

Yet, you can buy it............ right over the counter or on-line.

Recently, it has been reported that the drug is being given away to homeless residents in St. Louis and other major cities in hope that the users will kill each other. Rumor has it that the "new age urban loft dwellers" don't want them(the homeless) hanging around blighting their communities and entertainment venues so they are handing out "death packets" for free.

Something is seriously amiss in amerikkka. And considering who the current POTUS is.......things are only going to get worse....much worse.....before they get better.

If you don't know God......you better get to know him.......soon.

Marvel not, ye must be born again!!!!

" I SAID I WASN'T GONNA WRITE "NO-MORE" BLOGS LIKE THIS".............

 This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sigh be given it; but the sign of Jonas the prophet. For as Jonas was a sigh unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 

Jonah, regarded as the reluctant prophet, is the only one, of the Twelve Minor Prophets of the Hebrew Bible, to be mentioned in all three major religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

 According to the historical writings, Jonah refused to follow the command of God to go to Nineveh, a city in Assyria on the river Tigris opposite Mosul in Iraq (ancient Africa) and preach repentance to the Gentiles.

God demanded that the Gentiles repent "because their great wickedness is come up before me."  Jonah, instead seeks to flee from the presence of the Lord. He did not believe that the Gentiles should be given a chance for repentance, salvation and redemption. He felt that they only needed to be judged and condemned for their errors, wickedness, and evil ways.

 The story says that for his disobedience Jonah was confined in the belly of a gigantic fish until he was compelled to "repent ecstatically" for his attempted deviation from his calling.

In the end, Jonah did exactly what God wanted him to do and God did exactly what He always does for those that repent.......He had mercy upon them and  forgave them.

This act of kindness toward the Gentiles angered Jonah to the utmost...in fact he prayed to God, "I beseech thee, take my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live." Jonah would rather be buried in his grave then to see the children of wrath forgiven for their evil and wicked deeds.

 God referred to the Gentiles as a people who's heart, mind and soul was so bound by Satan that they could not discern the difference between their right hand and their left.

 Still, if they would turn from their wicked ways, and repent, they had a right to be a part of the family of God ........... just like the Hebrew children.

God has a plan. Further, he always has a man to implement His plan .

He always has somebody, whom He calls, chooses, qualifies, and then sends to inform the wicked what they must do to avoid falling into the path and wrath of a vengeful, and just.... Almighty God.

Historical writings indicate that "many are called but only a few are chosen." And the one chosen never wants to do the job.

Why?

Because the chosen one already knows that God is Merciful.

He already knows that if the wicked will turn from their evil ways, repent, and strive to live a godly lifestyle,  that God will "have mercy" on them and save them from the wrath that is "sure" to come to this disobedient and evil generation.

 Righteous behavior and obedience earns the favor of God.

Gods man already knows that.

But, sometimes, Gods man gets tired and when Gods man gets tired........God Himself gets tired too.

 Gods man gets tired of seeing the real savages, "satans imps" avoid justice for all the evil and madness they have perpetrated against the children of God. He then petitions to God to withhold His mercy and instead enter into the season of judgement.

Gods man then begins to call for, and pray for, the emergence of "the other" side of God.

The "flip side."

The side no one wants to talk about or see coming.       

The wrath of God.

The side God unleashes when He gets tired of our foolishness and also gets tired of the wickedness of others.

NBC NEWS reported recently that diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran are in peril.

The POTUS has increased his public attacks on The Middle East. "Surrender without a fight or surrender with a fight" is the current message coming out of the White House.

Do we see where mankind is heading?                                                Apparently not.

"I said I wasn't gonna write "no-more" blogs like this."

Why?

Because its obvious that God is getting our attention, but we have "stopped caring and listening."

It appears that the people have no fear of God.  It would be safe to say that the masses don't actually believe that there are consequences for disobedience to God and also for disobedience to Gods man.

Therein lies much of the problem ....... we can't discern "who" Gods man is?

Why?

Primarily, because we don't want to and because we are looking in the wrong places.

Gods man - just like Jonah - really doesn't "want" to be the instrument that God uses to manifest the truth.

However, he has to.

He has no choice.

Because its not about him and what he wants....its about glorifying  God and His Creation.

So you won't find Gods man surrounded by a crowd........because the crowd really doesn't want to hear the truth.

But the spiritual wickedness in this world is propelling righteousness to come forth and creation will have to lift him up for the world to see.

I said I wasn't gonna write no more blogs like this.

No more blogs about racist people "knockin us down, shootin us down and then kickin us" when we down.

 No more blogs about the deaths of black men and women at the hands of the police.

No more blogs about the black "two legged animals" terrorizing the residents, and especially, the senior citizens in our own neighborhoods. No more blogs about black people, killin' other black people, just for being black people.

No more blogs about the new/not new Prison Industrial Complex or the grade school to prison pipeline, or the institutional and systematic racism so prevalent within the criminal "unjust" system.

No more blogs about, "despite historically high unemployment rates and gross poverty in amerikkka,   Blacks have shown resiliency in their ability to PERSEVERE AS CONSUMERS.'

                                                                    WHAT!!!!!!!!!

Yes......black people don't produce anything as a unit, as a collective, as a group drawn together by common bonds -  like every other culture in this country has done - all we do is consume.

It's expected that $1.3 trillion dollars will be spent by blacks in amerikkka in 2018.

 I wonder what would happen if we didn't spend it?

"I said I wasnt gonna write no-more blogs like this'................I lied.

Marvel not....ye must be born again..........TG4RG
