.......Giving Up The RIGHT for The WRONG....a.k.a. The Vapors

                                                     

             ......therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin........

"AMERIKKKA2020"...........At the publishing of this blog the America that we {thought we knew} is, literally, crashing and burning out of control in one way or another, while at the same time preparing for the presidential election in less than 30 days. 

The West coast is burning up, hurricanes are making havoc of the South and East coast, the Gulf coast is under water, the infrastructure is crumbling, the country is plagued with disease, suicide and fatal crimes of passion are at an all time high, inner-cities are out of control and under siege by the criminals and the Feds, while the two geriatric presidential candidates are having a "joaning sesssion" labeled as a debate, on national TV.

Many people are blaming the current POTUS for the demise of America as well as for the Covid-19 virus that has this country and others in petrified mode - for obvious reasons. But, blaming one individual for a white supremist mind -set that has existed as long as amerikkka itself, is rather naïve, to say the lest.

 There has always been two Americas, one privileged and one not. So for some of us its heart-wrenching to recognize and realize that those "golden days of yester year" are gone forever. 

To be honest, no matter who occupies the white house after the presidential election this country will never be the same. Because the lid has been removed from Pandora's Box and the demons which use to operate covertly are now all out in the open, operating overtly, and running free. 

You see there is/was a strategy being used by the current administration and certain media outlets to terrify American's, especially those living in the suburbs and in rural areas, into believing that major cities are cesspools were savages, mostly black beast with guns, are allowed to run amok.

 Therefore, its open season on people of  color......just for being black.....and there is not a law able to be written and passed or an army big enough to enforce... the change of  heart and mind of wicked, satanic, people.

Undoubtedly, #2020, will go down in history as a year like no other.  Today, many Americans all over the country are celebrating Columbus Day and his founding of America (1 of many lies told about this country) and have celebrated the auspicious Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day holidays giving thanks and praise for living in such a place like this while simultaneously witnessing the emergence and on-set, of AMERIKKKA......the new/old normal.

It appears that the more things change.....the more they stay the same.

In 1968, the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders(Kerner Commission), an organizing formed by the POTUS, L.B. Johnson, after outbreaks of rioting in nearly all major cities, concluded and reported that there were two societies in America/amerikkka, separate and unequal.

 WHAT!!!! 

This is madness!!

So for those that don't or didn't know it, we found out in the 60's (some of us knew way, way before that) that the country was racially divided. SO WHY??? are so many people, white people especially and black and brown people, in-particularly, acting as if the murder and mayhem of people of color is some how the result of the current POTUS and his rhetoric?

We have always known.

 Racism was built into the fabric of this country. It was built in the Constitution of The United States because #AfricansNamerikkka weren't even considered as human beings, we were thought of as more like a mule or a donkey. 

So, don't blame the current climate on the POTUS, blame yourself. 

Because we knew early on that trying to integrate into a country that didn't want integration was the wrong thing to do. Hundreds of years of slavery and Jim Crow laws should have proven to us that we weren't wanted in America. But, we tried anyway...gettin' in where we didn't fit in. And the more we tried the more they showed us they didn't want us around. Because as soon as we would move in......they would move out.

Politian's and preachers told us in the 60's that it was possible to fit in and be treated fairly in America so we assumed that laws could be legislated to #makePeopleLuvUs. But, it didn't take long to find out that that was a lie. So what we really ended up doing was something morally and spiritually conscience individuals should never do: 

.......give up the right for the wrong.

Bare with me if you will:

I retired from the USPS as a City Mail Carrier. I had what was primarily a mounted route; which means I drove a mail truck and delivered mail to mail boxes curbside. To do this operation there are certain rules that MOST be adhered to are you will have a problem. You have two sorts of mail to delivery: (1) is letter mail (DPS) automatically sorted and placed in order  - by address - for you and the other (2) is magazines and flat envelope mail sorted and placed in order by - address - by the Mail carrier(you, hopefully).

In front of each house you are to verify the letter mail and the flat mail match the address and make the delivery. This is called following the mail. The mail is set up by automation to know where it is going...you just have to follow the street addresses.

When you reach the end of the street, the standing rule is: TURN RIGHT...the next addresses will pick-up and  continue around this corner. No problem. 

Except, when the rule doesn't apply, like when the mail makes a U-turn and goes back down the same street on the other side, or when the mail "skips" the next block and goes to the next block and then turns right, or when the mail skips a block and goes to the next block and turns left.

Sound confusing......it is.

This may not sound like a big deal to most people but if you are delivering in an unfamiliar part of town or you are on an unfamiliar route, these little idiosyncrasies mentioned above could very well have you pulling your hair out while making your blood pressure rise as you are going around and around in circles, many times in the dark, looking for a way out of an area you have never been in before, nor should be in now in the dark, while the clock is ticking and your supervisor is fervently watching the clock waiting on your rerun.

The only thing you can say to your superiors in your defense is that I tried to follow the mail and kept TURNING RIGHT.  Still, you got lost!!! You did what you had been instructed and trained to do. Still, you got lost!!!  Even though you are lost and kaint find your way out of this maze or even back to where you started......you did what was right. As a new hire to the USPS letter carrying profession you never gave up the right for the wrong or in this case the "right for the left or the u-turn, or etc. etc. etc.

The point I am trying to make is that you never pick wrong over right....never. And I'm not talking about your right, nor my right, but the right that controls all of creation, the right that declares that justice must prevail in order to be right, the right that is balanced, not tilted, shaded or one sided.

It is believed that the road to hell is paved with people who had good intentions but never put them into practice. 

People who meant to to do the right thing but didn't....for whatever reason. Many just made the decision to just follow the crowd. 

Maybe, they didn't or couldn't do what "in their heart" was the right thing to do because the crowd they were following said not to and of course the crowd knew what was best because it was the religious crowd, or the political crowd, or the educated crowd with PH.D's, or the entertainment crowd, or the superstar athletic crowd, or the business crowd, the movers and shakers crowd, the people with  individual wealth crowd, or last but not least, your kin-folks crowd.

Whatever crowd you chose or choose to follow, if it wasn't/isn't the crowd that was/is following righteousness just because "its right to do right" you are or did follow the wrong crowd.

Back in the 90's there was an artist/rapper named Biz Markie. He coined a song entitled, The Vapors. It was about people "who" for whatever reason follow the crowd just because it looks, feels, or taste good, only to find that it really wasn't #good4U, because once the Vapors are gone you realize you have/had nothing real to hold on to. #UCaughtTheVapors. Like having religion and not knowing God.

A this present moment Amerikkka is on the verge of destruction. From without and from within. Sides or being formed and lines are being drawn in the sand. The only hope for AfricansNamerikkka, and for all people who realize that this is about the haves and the have nots, and not color, is complete separation from our common enemies and unity with our consciences brother and sisters in the struggle. 

Prudent people should realize and understand that this current madness is not going to stop until the people with the power to define realize that we have united and decided to stop being puppets. The only way we can prove that we are serious about our freedom is to start to corral our collective dollars in one central location.

Listen family, in 2019 the #AfricanNamerikkkan buying power was $1.4 TRILLION DOLLARS. This amount is higher than the gross domestic product of Mexico. Is is expected to increase to almost $2.0 TRILLION DOLLARS by 2024.

We spent(consumed) that much. We are the largest racial consumer market. But what do we own? We own little, if any land, we produce little, if any, of the countries resources, and possess little, if any(negligible) amounts of the nations wealth.

Many people, black and white don't believe that. But its true. We have been trained/fooled to believe that the many #AfricanNamerikkkan athletes, actors, and artist of all kinds have enormous amounts of wealth at their disposal. But they don't. You know who has control of all that money......SUPER MANAGERS(the massa of today) has all the control and money.... not the superstars themselves.

Many white liberals, and others, who are not racist 'per sa' don't feel our collective economic pain because they feel that #AfricanNamerikkkanSuperstars  have enough money to help their own people. But, politics and "good ole boy shenanigans' keep those with individual wealth,  those few who would like to do major things in their #AfricanNamerikkkan communities, are kept in hand-cuffs and in constant fear of losing what they have if they become #TooBlack. So, the black community and the majority of #AfricansNamerikkka continue to suffer because of economic genocide fueled by systemic racism.

Well, you know what, I'm done. And I mean that literally. Time is running out for me. I have more yesterdays than I have tomorrows. And I'm cool with that. Because God has been/is good too me. So, life , for me now,  is way more about the quality of life as opposed to the quantity of days.

 Look, none of us came here to stay and my body reminds me of that fact more and more everyday. If Covid-19, high blood pressure, diabetes, congestive heart failure, cancer, bullets with no name, cars with no sane drivers, or some other malady doesn't take me out of here, surly, something else will. There is no parking down here.

But before I go, if its Gods will, I would like #TheCreatorOfTheWorld to allow the POTUS to turn up the heat in #amerikkkasFurnance seven(7) times hotter than its ever been, seven(7) times hotter than normal. And if needs be then allow the mightiest men in Satan's army of imps to throw me into the furnace just like King Nebuchadnezzar did to the three #HebrewBoyzNAfrica,  a long, long,  time ago. 

You see, just like them, I refuse to #BowDown, I refuse to #GoAlongToGetAlong, I refuse to #PickTheLessorOfTwoEvils, and more than anything else, I refuse to #GiveUpTheRightForTheWrong. 

But keep in mind that the mighty men who throw the three #HebrewBoyzNAfrica into the fiery furnace "all died' while the #HebrewBoyz were delivered by #TheOne who looked liked #TheSonOfGod.

UNDESERVED FAVOR...aka(Cell Therapy....by Goodie Mob)

"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

At the writing of this blog the united states of america is in a state of lock-down.

The corona virus, aka, COVID -19, has put this country...and countless others into shut-down mode. Practically, everybody, is required to isolate in place. The fear is either of acquiring the virus - which could last approximately 14 days, or of acquiring the virus - and dying from it.

News sources broadcast that certain people are in the "high risk" category of becoming infected with the disease. If you are over 60, and or, have been diagnosed with underlying medical conditions such as chronic lung disease, heart conditions, diabetes, kidney or liver disease you might as well get a shovel and start digging because your fate is practically sealed.

Just recently media news sources released an updated statement declaring that if u are {heaven forbid} an AfricanNAmerikkka, you are automatically raised to an increased probability level for acquiring the deadly disease.

Well, I must be doomed because I meet the criteria for the high risk category.

So, with the thought that I might not be here tomorrow....I decided to write how I feel today. April, 29, 2020 in the midst of a pandemic of unprecedented proportions.

First, and foremost, let me say for the record that I have already been to hell and God delivered me from it.

 So the threat of acquiring a virus pales in comparison to what I have already been subjected to. The enemy had my body bound....possibly serving a 25 years to life federal sentence in addition to the 10 year sentence I walked in the door with.

But God had other plans and steered my body, mind and spirit to soar to a place well beyond my understanding. God, because of his will and purpose, for my life, extended to me " undeserved favor."

So as the world and this country go through these next weeks and months in panic mode God is keeping me in perfect peace because I am conscience of the fact that I have already received mercy instead of justice.

Having said that, let it be known that God doesn't have to do anything else for me......literally.

All that I could possibly require from the Master of the World is that when its my time to transition from human to divine is that its done quickly.

Listen, dying is a part of living, every single solitary person that reads this blog is going to die. And every single solitary person that does not read this blog is still - going to die as well.

Death is inevitable. Its not "if", its not even "when", its "how."  How u die is the mystery.

 So, the question then becomes......who wants to suffer????

Or who wants to spend years and years waiting on death to come while u slowly deteriorate while saddle with disease for which there is no absolute recovery or cure. Further, who wants to submit themselves to "X" amount of surgeries, procedures and medications attempting only to post-pone what is surly going to happen anyway.......no matter what u do.

Death is coming family.  Like it or not.  Postpone it or not. My only desire of the Creator is to be gracious when its my time.....come quickly....and reward me according to what he finds me doing.

Here is a thought:

 The pagan ritual/holiday - Easter - just recently passed.   Scripture states that The Christ hung out on the cross dying for three days and rose on the third day. Actually, it was more like a day and a half, from Friday evening until Sunday morning.

But regardless of the obvious difference in the math, I can die for three days.  If that's what it takes, I can do that.  Actually, if its Gods will that I become infected with the corona virus, I can die for 14 days or less, if that's what it takes.

But what I will not do, I refuse to put myself in-the-grave "worrying" about dying from the virus.

Listen, its only because of Gods grace and mercy that I have come this far. Its way tooooo late in the game to start worrying about "what could happen tomorrow............if tomorrow comes"

God has been good to me and has allowed me to have traveled here and abroad and experience God on so many levels. My Creator has allowed me to have fellowship with a plethora of God sent individuals, of many diverse faiths, religions, nationalities, cultures, hues, and skin tones. I have been witness to the power of God manifesting in the flesh of men/women from my toddler years right up until this present moment.

I have no regrets about this life....other than the regret of being mis-understood by the people that I love more than they will ever know.

Particularly my biological/extended family,  mainly my(9) children, (bearers of the blood line/TG4RG), my (16) grand-children, my (2) great grand-children and my spiritual family, who - up until this very day - never got the benefit of hearing the other side of the story.

Still, family, be assured that, no matter what it looked like..or how it seemed to be...God has never left me alone. Not now...not ever...

Even in my most trying times, and darkest hours, when I was being called everything but a child of God, I know without a shadow of a doubt that God was then...just as he is right now, ordering my every step, and preparing me for this very moment. Whether its in life or death God is getting the service out of me that was planned while I was yet in my mothers womb.

Having said that, let me say this. The spirit of God and truth within me keeps nudging me into the wisdom to know and understand that this pandemic is not what it seems to be or what we are being told that it is.

The truth cry's out from my soul saying that this is actually some sort of biological terrorist warfare being imposed upon america and others by a foreign country/nation..... or maybe even from within.

Time will eventually tell if this plague may or may not have been the direct result of the Israel mistreatment of the Palestinians in the Holy Land in conjunction with and assisted by the american government and its hostile mistreatment of people of color all over the world, and especially its mistreatment of the children of God.....namely AfricansNamerikkka.

Is the current POTUS responsible for the present calamity happening here and abroad? Not at all, but he is a major tool being used by the oligarchy establishment and he represents the mind-set of white supremacy shared by all the current and previous members.

Is there anything that can be done to avoid this plague that is now crippling the world?

Only God knows. But there is something that we all can do.

Currently, Muslims all around the world are partaking in the Holy Month of Ramadan which started on April 23, 2020 and will end after the sunset meal on May 23, 2020.

Since the world is on lock-down anyway, what a righteous and prudent thing it would be for all of us, from all religions and faiths, who profess to know God, to join in with the Muslims all over the world in fasting and pray.

 Granted, we have already missed the start but we could all join in with the over 1.8 billion Muslim prayer warriors and start to fast and pray on May 1, 2020 to the end of the fast on May 23, 2020, after the sunset meal.

HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 23 DAY ALL FAITHS FAST & PRAY CHALLENGE: {NOW KNOWN AS THE 40 DAY ALL FAITHS FAST & PRAYER CHALLENGE}

1.  Every morning before sunrise disciples should wash their hands and face, kneel(bow) in prayer, and partake of the pre-fast meal.
  a. after the pre-fast meal nothing is to be consumed into the body and that includes water.
  b. disciples are encouraged to get as much nourishment and drink as much water as possible to sustain yourself... without becoming a gluten.... because no more anything will be consumed until the sun-set meal.

2. Prayer is required and recommend 5 times a day during the challenge.The aim is to be en-sync with the rest of the praying world community. Because of the varied locations of the disciples, world wide, a general time for the 5 daily congregational pray times will be:
 a.  5:30 am - 12:30 pm - 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm.
 b.  whispering the word "mercy" between congregational pray times is highly recommended.

3.  During the challenge disciples are encouraged to read the entire Bible which can be divided into 23 sections over the 23 days of the challenge. Approximately, 3 books/chapters of the bible should be read each day starting with the book of Genesis ending with Revelations.
  a. the goal is to redirect the heart and mind away from all worldly activities, carnal cravings and behaviors. That's why abstinence from all things such as food, smoking, sex, etc, etc, is a mandate. Self-discipline and self control is imperative.
  b.  provisions should and can be extended for the sake of the elderly, pregnant, breast feeding, menstruation, and disciples with chronic health issues like diabetics who would find it too difficult to endure the challenge at the 100 per cent level for 23 days.

4.  Every evening after the sun sets disciples will wash their hands and face, kneel(bow) in prayer, and partake of the daily post-fast meal, and after the meal,  kneel(bow) in prayer again and thank God for this portion of another day and for giving us the strength to endure the fast and the courage to continue tomorrow....if tomorrow comes.
  a. the goal is not to integrate religion or to make one religion greater than another but to show an all mighty and sovereign God that we all are his children and that we all surrender collectively, - world wide - to YOUR WILL AND TO YOUR WAY.
  b. at the end of THE 23 DAY ALL FAITHS FAST & PRAYER CHALLENGE we are looking for and expecting a major awakening from God proving, what we already know, that the effectual and fervent pray of Gods children changes thing.

KAINT LOSE

                                          .....to LIVE is Christ.......to DIE is gain.......


According to scripture, the Apostle Paul, a devout Hebrew/Israelite, had come to the conclusion that he couldn't lose.

Either in life or death he had the victory.

He was convinced that he was a winner. He professed, for I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate me from the love of God.

Wow!! what a completely divine spirit he possessed to make such a profound statement.

WHY!!!                                                   

Because everybody kaint say that.

In fact, most people kaint say that.

And of the ones that do say it...the majority of them are lying.

You have to be lying because no one REALLY wants to die to prove it.😏 No one wants to even think about dying. No one really wants to leave here. Many of us love this sin sick world toooooo much to leave it. We're having tooooooooo much fun.😈 Um hum keep having it. Play time is going to end soon☻

 So, for the few people who can make that statement and mean it .....it is only because you have had enough experiences in this life with God to know that nothing can compare to being saturated by his indwelling spirit "EXCEPT" being TOTALLY ENGULFED by it...free from the confines of your flesh/body.

Totally Free.

Oblivious to your current situation and conditions.

Anyone who has ever spent any substantial time in solitary confinement knows what I mean.

In solitary you have to learn to live your life in the spirit because you body/physical movements are redistricted to an area that is 10 feet high and 8 feet wide, for 23 three hours a day, everyday, every week, every month, and every year, year after year.

 So you must learn to live from within.... or should I say God has to teach you how to do it. I have witnessed the growth and development of some of the most physically, mentally, and spiritually adorned individuals on the planet, created by God, while warehoused in a 8/10 federal prison cell.

I have also met Satan in solitary.

On total lock down your choices are limited. You either become a god or you become a devil. You become a devil in (1) of (2) ways. (1)you become a devil because you literally go crazy{you become dangerous to yourself and start eating your own flesh}...... or (2)you  lose your righteous mind{the ability to love over hate}

          So, in order to survive and flourish you must TRUST GOD COMPLETELY!!!

You must trust God enough to know that if you're truly connected to God you will still be connected WITHOUT YOUR FLESH or without being able to see your reflection in the mirror.😅

This is too deep ain't it?😁

Let me give you an example. I had/have a younger brother...ten years my junior.

 The daunting young man in the middle holding my oldest daughter on his shoulders is my beloved brother Mark.

These other three charismatic characters, starting from the left is my youngest brother, my oldest son, and my oldest nephew. Like ALL my siblings - ( 3 three brothers and 1 sister) one day Mark had been touched, regenerated, and rejuvenated by the spirit of God while attending services at my fathers house of pray.(rsmbc)

 To be honest though, I'm not sure that Mark even needed to be, born again, or reconnected to the current of Gods Spirit - because his spirit never drifted far away from the upward path anyway. Mark was always, without trying, demonstrating what "#BeLikeChrist" was about. If there was a picture of a real friend, a brother, a confident, a son, an uncle, a cousin, or a nephew, in the dictionary, it would be a picture of Mark. He was just that all around, unpretentious, good guy. I didn't say that he was a saint...but he was as real and genuine as a person as you can get.

 Mark died when he was just 28 years young.😇

He transitioned from human and divine to just divine on October 31, 1993(#trickrtreat).

We knew Mark was sick........................ but we weren't expected him to leave us. Not like that.

Officially, they say Mark died because of complications associated with the disease Lupus.

We knew and understood as much as we could about what was going with him and the treatments and the side-effects of the medications.

We knew Mark was tired........................but we didn't know that in his weakness he was gaining strength in the inner-man.

His quality of life had been dramatically altered because of his physical conditioned. But what we didn't know was that Mark had evolved to a place where he made a conscience decision to live or die.

He decided to trust God completely. Mark totally stopped taking all medications and treatment for his multiple conditions and yet - kept going on - handling his daily affairs as usual until he couldn't any more.

Then one day he crawled into bed and never got up.

After he was gone we found a plethora of his medications under his bed. He just slept away......from earth to glory. It was his choice...his decision. And God was in the midst of it all because he had us - his family - in a daze. We left him alone in his room....we thought he was just tired and sleeping....HE WAS.

Oh sure, he could have stayed for the benefit of his family and others who wanted to continue to drain from his spirit. But it wouldn't have been the same. Those of us that professed to love him so much should of been stepping up our own evolution and evolving to the place where he was in his daily spiritual walk instead of being sorrowful basically because he was gone and we couldn't ride him anymore.😼

Instead of being thankful that he lived 'and died' on his on terms. Some of us who felt cheated let their mourning turn into bitterness towards those of us who were in mourning too.

But Mark lived his life to the fullest and for him to be confined to a life (which wasn't a life but an existence) of prescription drugs, medications, treatments and UNABLE to soar like he had always done WAS NOT the life for him.

Its not the life for me either.

Don't get it twisted I'm not trying to die but I'm not going to be kicking the hospitals and doctors door down trying to stay here either.

I've lived long enough to know that "the quality of life is more important than the quantity of days". You've got to grow into that spirit for yourself.....just like the Apostle Paul did.  He knew and I know that I kaint lose. In life or death. I know that I have the victory because I am connected to God like white on rice.😎

 And I'm not going to let anything separate me from that connection: not money, land, houses, cars, children, grand-children, great-grand children, wives/husbands, occupations, titles, degrees, men/women(including those that don't know what they are), church(including church business), drugs, the IRS, alcohol, religions(including religious names😼) pensions, prisons, licenses, afflictions, politics, mothers/fathers, surgeries(including having no surgeries), diseases, businesses,  poisons, war(including rumors of war) politics or stray bullets.

 I'm not going out of here stressing about none of that.

I refuse to be stressing out on things present nor on things to come.  And things present or bad enough but what is coming, will surly, take you out if you are not totally connected to, and caught up in, the spiritual current of life in God.

Listen up people.✍

As we embark into 2020 the current POTUS, Donald Trump, stands poised to be re-elected for four more years. These coming years will dismantle America as we now know it.
This profound truth has made former POTUS, Barack Obama, change his retirement plans.

 After Trumps initial upset victory as president and his re-election bid Obama has chosen a different profession: He has become an agent for social change by way of social media and he has amassed a cornucopia of high level officials, including advocates for conscience intelligence, and cyber security, that now have occupations in technology, media, and news organizations such as Netflix,  Google, Facebook, PBS broadcasting, and other media outlets.

Their goal is to connect with conscience minded individuals to thwart a movement by a repressive, totalitarian, authoritarian government that, at this point,  rules amerikkka and much of the world. The next four plus years will be dismal for this country and especially for africansNamerikkka. The sad truth is that this country will have to endure a time of intense suffering due to our own rebellion against God.

But the good news is that this time of suffering for a season will, eventually, bring about an era of extreme joy. A new day is dawning and the only way for those of us desiring to be a part of this "Great Awakening"is to be connected conscientiously and spiritually through mass social media outlets and venues not controlled by the government.

At the writing of this blog spiritual wickedness working for and through its imps is having a dramatic impact on the thinking, behaviors, attitudes, beliefs, purchases and voting preferences of supporters of the current administration. Many people are preparing for civil, as well as, global war.

Its time to #wakeupfam.

The Outkast Revolutionary Party(ORP) can be compared to the old Hebrew Noah, in Africa, building an ark in the middle of the desert where it had never rained. Like Noah, we too have been creating a safe haven of truth, love, and information as, a charitable organization for a new generation.... since 1995. People laughed at Noah.........until it started to rain. Some people laughed at us until the current POTUS was elected....now, like that Gill-Scott Heron song, " its winter in amerikkka",  and nobody is laughing. They told Noah that he should quit and give it up. They told us that too. But it wasn't time for Noah - until it was time. It wasn't time for The ORP either......BUT ITS TIME NOW!!!

..................think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a SWORD........



The word: sword is mentioned 407 times in the Bible and 0 times in the Quran.

How ironic is that?

 Considering all the "terrorist" Islamophobia rhetoric saturating the western world and  especially in america; the word sword is never mentioned in the Muslims holy book. The POTUS has basically, stereotyped and classified all Muslims as dangerous. Yet, "off with their head", a term often used by individuals swinging swords, is never mentioned in their sacred oracles.

 The bible states that the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any "two-edged sword", piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow; and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

With that in mind many bible scholars believe that the sword that the Christ brings when he returns is not an instrument used for a military conflict but a sharp tool used for social division which will sever the closest family ties, bonds, organizations, affiliations, and religions.

This writer believes its going to be both.

Which brings me to the reason for this blog. A recent headline in the Washington Post read: Anger Over Farrakhan Lies Prompts Call for Women's March Leaders to Resign.

First, let me say for the record, that I am not a practicing member of the Islamic religion. My initial introduction to the indwelling spirit of God came when I was a very young man and I was regenerated, infused, and touched by Gods divine power and nature while attending service at my fathers House of Prayer (#rsmbc).   I will never forget that day!!!

However, I did receive a secondary conversion to Islam, when I confessed shahadah and submission, to do the total will of God in front of Muslim witnesses.

At that time I was in federal prison, and the organization of worshipers were called Black Muslims. Eventually, the administration separated(transferred) or segregated(hole), all of the members and the organization re-emerged as The Nation of Islam under the leadership of the Minister Louis Farrakhan.

Because of my outspokenness I was separated(transferred), once again, and ended up at a higher level facility worshiping with, The Moorish Science Temple of America first, but eventually, ended up worshiping with Orthodox Muslims because the Nation of Islam was not available at this particular institution.

God always has a plan because what I thought was a bad thing turned out to be a good thing because it gave me an even greater appreciation for Islam because this group of Orthodox Muslim worshipers was inclusive of several different nationalities, ethnicity, backgrounds and cultures of men all serving the same God in balance in harmony and in unison. It was a beautiful experience.

However, I never got over the impact and influence that Minister Farrakhan had made on my life. What impressed me most, at that time,  was that the minister was teaching that the innate nature of a man is spiritual.

This was the same teachings that my father had instilled in his congregation from 1931-1961. The only difference was that my father taught from experience, demonstration, and a bible and the minister taught from experience, wisdom, and the  Quran. But the message of growth, development, and "re-birth" of the "inner-man" the "spiritual man" was the same profound message.

This universal and unequivocal truth that was being taught during, and shortly, after The Great Depression Era of the 1930's, by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Noble Drew Ali, and others was that mankind's original disposition and natural constitution was spiritual.

Garvey Teaching, as it was called, directed our attention to the spiritual connection toward the God of our ancestors.  Embracing our African heritage, culture and beliefs was crucial to our survival and prosperity and that we should not practice the powerless plantation religions that were being ushered upon us in this country.

 In this day and age, with all the information and technology available to us, its not demonstrating a wise choice to follow ANY religious order that doesn't mandate for continued membership that members dedicate themselves to adhering to a healthy life style.

A healthy life style consists of many components but primarily it is focused on adhering to proper diet and eating habits(including fasting), exercise,  immaculate and strategic hygiene practices, and a mind-set that requires mandatory dress code requirements for entrance into the house of prayer. A sacrifice has to be made to appear before the throne of God and "come as u are" - in appearance - is just not acceptable.

Children of the Most High God it doesn't make sense to keep living - "haphazardly" - with our lives - knowing that the food and drink we consume into our bodies and the toxic chemicals in the products and materials we put on our bodies is the leading cause of obesity, high blood pressure, cancer, heart and lung disease, diabetes and premature death.

 How can we claim to know God and willingly abuse the temple of God by consuming a - knowingly, detrimental, unhealthy, diet in order to satisfy the craves and desires of our flesh?

How unfortunate that Christianity, the religion that prides itself on having the "perfect example" in Christ, is the only one of the three major religions - (the other two being Judaism and Islam) - that allows its members to eat, dress, worship, and pray any damn way they chose.

I thank God for Minister Farrakhan. He has become one of my greatest mentors. And irregardless to the things that some people might have to say about him - and me for loving him -....God has proven to me that HE sent the Minister.

Here is how I know.

I was released from supervised federal parole to unsupervised parole early.... because of good behavior. Therefore, I was ALLOWED to chauffeur a 55 passenger tour bus to The Million Man March, in Washington D.C., in 1995.

I had 53 black male professionals on my tour bus. One of them, turned out to be the black federal prosecuting attorney(lh), that had so enthusiastically and tirelessly, seen to it that I was convicted, by a jury NOT OF MY PEERS, to ten years in federal prison in 1986.

The moment that he stepped up on my bus, looked me in my face, and DIDN'T RECOGNIZE ME from Fred Sanford, was the moment that I knew that there was not going to be anything regular or normal about this bus trip and adventure.

As I drove through the night, I contemplated in my mind the many ways I could make him disappear from the face of the earth while in route from St. Louis to D.C.

But, luckily for the both of us, none of the ideas Satan ran through my mind manifested from conception to implementation. I Thank God for corralling my mind and ordering my steps. Because what could have happened to that brother, in the midst of that enormous crowd, would have forever been a mystery to anyone concerned about him and his whereabouts.

I had been to D.C., several times, and the despair of the city(black community) always saddened me how it could look so horrifically bad, right under the nose of the White House and the POTUS. If you have never been there, Washington. D.C., has one of the highest populations of homeless individuals in the country. Tourist visiting the city have had to, literally, step over homeless people to get from one venue to the next. Chocolate City, as it was tagged, always made me angry/sad.

 But not this day. This day it looked like heaven on earth.

 Because, upon arrival in D.C., I was made privy and witness to the most amazing out pouring and saturation of Gods holy spirit that I had ever experienced in my life -  in such an enormous area -  with such an enormous amount of men. The spirit of God blanketed us and dwelled among us in a cloud so thick you could actually see and feel the LOVE. God ordained the Minister to blow the trumpet for one million black men to assembly in love, atonement, reconciliation and re-commitment and the clarion call was heard and acted upon by nearly two million black men.

I never will forget that day!!!

Because it became a major turning point in my life.  Just months prior to making the journey to D.C., God had given me approval to do something extraordinary for him. And being present at that anointed location on that holy day and listening to the message from Gods man was all the assurance I needed to know that the vision God had given me was pleasing, acceptable, and in line with His will for my life.

On that day in October 1995 God proclaimed, ordained, and endorsed the Outkast Revolutionary Party (ORP), a charitable organization, for a New Generation. And we still don't know what all it shall be but we do know it will be like Him.......YeshuaKhan!!!

                                 'Message From A Black Man"......The Temptations

"I'LL ALWAYS LUV MY MAMA"

               

"Until a man finds himself he will ruin every woman he comes across"

St. Louis, MO -  January 13, 2019..........

I first had access to the Internet or World Wide Web, in 1993. 

I knew then that allowing individuals to connect on-line to the whole world had the capability to transform ordinary people, like myself, into very, very, enlightened individuals. I was born with a passion for learning. And my mother always encouraged and challenged me to strive to obtaining an education that included wisdom, knowledge, and understanding well above and beyond that which  was being offered in conventional schools, colleges, and universities.  The World Wide Web was a dream come true for me. The information highway was like a toy I always wanted. 

The World Wide Web provided unlimited information at my finger tips. 

If there was anything that I had a question about, "ANYTHING" I could find, not only "an" answer, but a "detailed" answer, without ever living the comfort of my living room. 

God was good and life was grand.

Unfortunately, there is a "flip-side" to having unlimited access to the world.  The world, also has, unlimited access TO YOU - !!! 

There is no hiding place out here. Once you make yourself a participant in the game of acquiring and sharing information  - the gloves are off.

The information autobahn has no friends and takes no prisoners. 

So if you are going to be a mover and shaker out here in the fast lane of social media you had better "keep it real" and "come correct" because just as sure as there are millions of people who will admire you for your openness and honesty there are " haters" out here, male and female bytches, who walk around with a "pic and a shovel" waiting for and looking for an opportunity to "dig up" something from your past, that you did or didn't do, to use against you in an attempt to poison the minds and hearts of those that truly love and care about you. 

It's happened to me before, undoubtedly, it will happen again. Haters hate.

With that being said let me talk about ME first before someone else does. Which brings me to the quote subtitled in this blog: "until a man finds himself he will ruin every woman he comes into contact with" (translated: ruined to loving and trusting another man)

Recently, I posted a picture of four of my nine children. My first set (son & daughter) by my first wife and my last set (son and daughter) by my current and last wife.

                                                                       

Let me say for the record that the mothers of my children HAVE NEVER BEEN THE PROBLEM in the relationship....the problem has always been me. Seriously!!! Who didn't know that??????

                                                                    

 I thank God because the mothers of my children had/have a born-again, personal relationship, with the real and true, living God.   They had to know God to put up with me.                                     

     

There is no-way, that two people, that both know and love God, can fail in their relationship.....if they desire to please God - and stay together.  I would start out with the desire but it would eventually fade simply because I truly thought I was God's gift to women.  

                                                                              

Surly, sometimes, its just not meant to be. But usually, nine-times-out-of-ten, its the man's fault because he cannot or chooses not to bring his flesh,  his finances,  his habits, or "all of the above" under control, or at least manageable control, as opposed to outtacontrol  to sustain and maintain a committed relationship with a "queen' that has proven to have your back.

                                                                          

I thank God for my current and last wife. I am saddened sometime when I reflect that she came along at a time when God was transitioning my mother to take on a "new life in her new home' and she and my mother never got to have that bond and connection that the other mothers of my children had with my mother. But she has been raised right and is in possession of an "old soul" which makes her, still, know my mother in many ways.                                                    

                                                                                   

 God did/does always know what he is doing. My mother died the year before my wife and I got married. And I honesty believe that if she had not been there for me during that difficult time in my life I am unsure just where I might be today and I'm also unclear as to what state of mind I would be in. 

Most sons claim to love their mother. 

But for me, it is much more than a claim.

 As a child I can recall watching my mother suffer tremendous mental, physical, and spiritual abuse (mostly from good ole' church folks) for being honest about me and who my father is. She wasnt boasting but she wasn't lying either.  Haters - male and female - self-righteous folks, ostracized her because she didn't toss me in a dumpster - at birth - like some thought she should.

                                                                     

Little did the haters know, but my mother came from good, quality stock, and God had his arms of  love and protection securely wrapped around my mother all the days of her life. Until one day she met a man that told her to....."Marvel not; ye must be born again" And for that, I am forever grateful.

                                  Happy Birthday, Mama (Sister Vivian) - January 13th - R.I.P.
