Coming Forth As Pure Gold
Coming Forth As Pure Gold
A powerful manifesto by: Brotha Anthony
Introduction: Just read, allowing the exercising of your mind to feed your spirit, and bring prosperity to your soul. Thank You Lord… Speak through me.
Dedication: First, to my Father whom arts in heaven hollowed is thy name. To my children, establishing you an inheritance more valuable than anything monetary. To my parents, I hope I’ve brought you joy, and to my best friend… Just Is!
I love you all & thank you
Amen.
I REALIZED THAT EVERYTHING BEHIND ME IS DEAD. EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF ME WAITS MY DECIDING ON WHETHER TO GIVE IT LIFE, OR LEAVE IT LYING DORMANT TO RECEIVE LIFE AT A LATER TIME. IN ALL REALITY IT CAN BE LEFT COMPLETELY UNDER MY FEET. EVERYTHING BEFORE IS LIFE; THAT I CAN AND AM ENABLED TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON FOR ETERNITY. MY DECISIONS ARE ESSENTIAL, MY RELATIONSHIPS ARE MEANINGFUL, AND MY CONVERSATIONS ARE IN HEAVEN. IN ALL THINGS I ASK GOD FOR STEADFAST WISDOM, AND BOLD ACTIONS, THAT BY FAITH, HIS WILL BE DONE IN THE EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
GOD- “GOLD, OIL, & DRUGS” IS WHAT MY GOD-BROTHER SAID TO ME WHEN I ASKED HIM ABOUT WHO GOD WAS TO HIM PERSONALLY. IN EXODUS 3:14 GOD INTRODUCES HIMSELF AS “I AM THAT I AM”. IN HIND SIGHT MY BROTHER WASN’T WRONG IN HIS ANSWER BECAUSE ACCORDING TO PSALMS 24:1 “THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S, AND THE FULLNESS THEREOF; THE WORLD, AND THEY THAT DWELL THEREIN. FASCINATING IS THE FACT THAT WE DON’T KNOW THIS ABOUT GOD, BUT WE DO KNOW THAT GOLD, OIL AND DRUGS AE VERY RESOURCEFUL COMMODITIES THAT DRIVE CONSUMERS TO CONSUME, POLITICIANS TO COVET, INVESTORS TO INVEST, USERS TO ABUSE, TELEVISION NETWORKS TO CREATE SHOWS, AND THE WEALTHY TO BECOME WEALTHIER. GOLD, OIL, AND DRUGS, HAS LED TO OVERPOPULATING PRISONS, AS WELL AS AN INCREASE IN POVERTY TO SOME OF THE MOST PROFOUND AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITIES IN THIS COUNTRY.
HUMAN CONSUMPTION BREEDS GREED, AND WITH GREED COMES IRRESPONSIBILITY, LEADING TO THE DEMISE, DESTRUCTION AND POTENTIAL DEATH OF A PRECIOUS LIFE. WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, AND HOW TO INVEST YOUR TIME AND MONEY IN THIS LIFE IS LEARNED BY LIVING LIFE. I’VE LEARNED AND I’M STILL LEARNING OUR CHOICES HAVE TO BE UNBIASED AND NOT BASED ON HOW WE FEEL BUT WE MUST MAKE BETTER CHOICES UPON WHAT WE KNOW. I SPEAK FROM PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO THINK ABOUT YOUR OPTIONS BEFORE MAKING A CHOICE.
1ST CORINTHIANS 13:11 SAYS “WHEN I WAS A CHILD I THOUGHT AS A CHILD, I UNDERSTOOD AS A CHILD, I SPOKE AS A CHILD, BUT WHEN I BECAME A MAN I PUT CHILDISH THINGS AWAY.” THESE ARE WORDS FOR THE LORD THAT ONCE READ AND BELIEVED UPON CAN TAKE THEIR COURSE IN OUR LIVES TO MANIFEST GLORIOUS BLESSINGS HOPED FOR.
MY EARTHLY FATHER “POP” TAUGHT ME WHAT HE KNEW. SINCE HIS DAD WAS NEVER PRESENT TO TEACH HIM THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF BEING A MAN, WHAT COULD HE TEACH ME? POP SHOWED ME WHAT HE KNEW AND THE WAS HOW TO “MAC”, MANIPULATE AND CHEAT. I MANIPULATED MYSELF ALONG WITH A MULTITUDE OF WOMEN OUT OF GOOD OPPORTUNITIES AND RELATIONSHIPS BEING SELFISH AND CHILDISH. THIS CHILDISHNESS LIVING IN ME DESTROYED SOME RELATIONSHIPS AND STRAINED OTHERS, BECAUSE I HAD NO REAL SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY AS A MAN.
POP GREW UP THE YOUNGEST AND ONLY MALE IN HOME WITH 3 SISTERS AND A STRONG MOTHER. MY GRANDMOTHER AND AUNTIES TOOK CARE OF POP, AND LATER IN LIFE POP WOULD ALLOW ME TO SEE MULTIPLE WOMEN TAKING CARE OF HIM. I INTERPRETED THIS AS BEING A MAN. I FOLLOWED IN HIS SHADOW MANIPULATING WOMEN AND LIVING BY THE THREE “F’s”…. FUCKED, FED AND FINANCED. POP SAID “IF SHE AIN’T DOING NEITHER OF THE THREE OR ALL THREE, THEN FUCK HER.” THROUGHOUT ALL THIS HE HAD A STEADY WOMAN AND AFTER 14 YEARS HE DEPARTED WAYS WITH HER TO MARRY ANOTHER SEVERAL YEARS LATER.
THE LIFESTYLE I PICKED UP FROM POP LEFT ME IGNORANT TO KNOWLEDGE OF MY HEAVENLY FATHER AND MY EARTHLY RESPONSIBILITIES AS MAN. MY MOTHER HAD MY 5 SIBLINGS AND me ATTENDING CHURCH RELIGIOUSLY, WHILE THE WORD NEVER FOLLOWED US HOME. BY THE AGE OF 18 MY RELATIONSHIPS THROUGHOUT MY FAMILY WITH ME WERE DISTORTED AND I BECAME HEAVILY ENGAGED IN SEXUAL ACTIVITIES HOPING TO FIND STABILITY THAT ONLY CONSUMED MY LIFE AND PRIORITIES. DESTROYING MY LIFE WERE BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS MOST IMPORTANTLY, MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. A DISCONNECT WITH MY MOTHER, LIVING DISTANTLY FROM MY POPS AND NOT PROPERLY LOVING AND PROTECTING MY SIBLINGS LED ME TO THE NAVY NEARLY A YEAR AFETR COMPLETING HIGH SCHOOL. HAVING THESE RELATIONSHIPS DISTORTED AND BROKEN LEFT ME DESTITUTE OF A SOLID FOUNDATION, LOOKING FOR SOMEONE AND SOMETHING TO BELONG TO.
IN THE SUMMER OF 2003, I JOINED THE NAVY COMPLETING ALL OF MY TRAINING BECOMING A SAILOR WITH ORDERS TO MAYPORT, FL ONLY TO BE DISCHARGED HONORABLY BECAUSE OF MY CHILDISHNESS AND IRRESPONSIBILITY.
I CONTINUED TO USE MY CHARM AND CONVERSATION TO MANIPULATE WOMEN, AND STEAL THEIR TIME, LOVE, AND OTHER RESOURCES. I WAS LOOKING FOR LOVE IN THE WRONG MANNER, WITH THE WRONG MOTIVES. THEN WHILE IN COLLEGE IN 2008, I FACED AN 8 YR. PRISON SENTENCE FOR BEING FOUND GUILTY OF POSSESSING A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, I WAS INVITED TO CHURCH BY A SISTER LEZLIE LUCAS, AND I BEGAN MY JOURNEY TO COME TO KNOW GOD AS I DO TODAY. ONE FAMILY UNDER GUARD WAS THE SETTING, MY SALVATION WAS THE THEME, MY SOUL WAS THE PLOT, AND MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GOD WAS THE CONCLUSION OF A THESIS BASED ON MY REPENTANCE. I STILL WENT TO PRISON FOR TWO YEARS AND WHILE GOD WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN GIVING ME A BROTHER IN KEMP A. AND A SISTER IN HIS WIFE STACEY D., HE GAVE ME A SPIRITUAL MOTHER IN PASTOR GREER TO ENHANCE MY WALK TOWARDS HIM. 5 ½ YRS. LATER I KNOW GOD AS MY FATHER, JESUS AS MY BIG BROTHER AND I CHERISH THE RELATIONSHIPS IN MY LIFE BEING RECONCILED AND RESURRECTED, BECAUSE WHEN I MET GOD AND CAME TO KNOW HIM, I STARTED BECOMING A MAN.
SEXUAL INTERCOURSE IS THE THIRD MOST POWERFUL WEAPON IN THIS WORLD. THE FIRST MOST POWERFUL WEAPON IN THIS WORLD IS THE WORD OF GOD, THE SECOND ARE THE WORDS THAT WE SPEAK OUT OF OUR MOUTHS, AND THE THIRD IS SEXUAL INTERCOURSE, THE JOINING OF MALE AND FEMALE ORGANS. I ONCE HEARD A PASTOR FROM CLEVELAND, OHIO SAY THAT SHARING AN ORGASM WITH A HETERO-SEXUAL MATE WAS THE CLOSEST FEELING IN EARTH YOU COULD GET TO HOW HEAVEN FELT. CAN’T SAY I DISAGREE WHEN ALL THE COMPONENTS ARE RIGHT MEANING THAT FIRST YOU ARE WITH YOUR HUSBAND OR WIFE, AND SECONDLY YOU’RE WITH A MALE OR FEMALE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX.
WHEN GROWING UP, THE ONLY TIME THERE WAS PEACE IN MY HOUSE WAS WHEN MY PARENTS WERE HAVING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE, OTHER THAN THAT THEY WERE FUSSING AND FIGHTING, AND THAT ULTIMATELY LED TO THEM DIVORCING AND CASTING AWAY THE FOUNDATION FOR MY SIBLINGS AND I. EXPERIMENTING SEXUALLY BEGAN AS EARLY AS PRESCHOOL FOR ME. I WAS TONGUE KISSING GIRLS AND GRINDING ON THEM AS WELL. TODAY IT SEEMED TO ME AS IF SEX WERE ALWAYS IN THE AIR WHILE I WAS GROWING UP AND THE ADVERSARY HAD ASSIGNED A SEXUAL DEMON TO ATTEMPT TO DESTROY MY LIFE AND PURPOSE EARLY ON. THIS I BELIEVE DROVE ME TO MAKE SEXUAL ADVANCES WITH BABYSITTERS, SIBLINGS AND COUSINS.
BEING SEXUAL IS DECEIVING. EVERYTHING FEELS RIGHT FOR THAT MOMENT, AND UP UNTIL THE ACT IS COMPLETE YOU FEEL YOU’RE ACTING WITH THE RIGHT PURPOSE, MOTIVE, AND INTENTION. YOU BELIEVE YOU’RE PURSUING AND ACHIEVING LOVE. I THOUGHT BEING SEXUAL AND HAVING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WAS LOVE. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! IT IS NOW AND WAS THEN A SELFISH TRICK THAT I PLAYED ON OTHER AS WELL AS MYSELF. MOST PEOPLE PARTICIPATE SEXUALLY TOO OFTEN, TOO SOON. NOT REALLY EVEN KNOWING A PERSON WELL ENOUGH TO SHARE THE ADDED WEIGHT OF HAVING AND CREATING SOUL-TIES, PEOPLE JUMP RIGHT INTO BED WITH ONE ANOTHER IGNORANT TO THE DEEP SPIRITUAL WORKS ALSO TAKING PLACE. SHARING A DEEP EMOTIONAL CONNECTION WITH A PERSON IN A MOMENT OF INTIMACY, BINDS YOU TO THAT PERSON AND HOW THEY MADE YOU FEEL WHEN YOU ACHIEVED THAT SOUGHT AFTER HIGH SEXUALLY. NOW AFTER THE ACT IS COMPLETE YOU FEEL… FILTHY, CHEATED, NASTY, ABANDONED, UNSATISFIED, AND HEAVY LADEN BECAUSE THE GIFT OF SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WAS PERVERTED AND DONE OUT OF THE WRONG CONTEXT.
SEXUAL DEMONS ATTACK US AND PLAGUE US ALL. WE ARE BLIND AND OBLIVIOUS TO WHERE THESE ATTACKS COME FROM AND EVEN AS TO WHY WE FEEL THE WAY WE DO ABOUT SEX. HOWEVER WITH GOD THERE IS NOT ONLY HOPE FOR SEXUAL PURITY, BUT HEALING, DELIVERANCE, KNOWLEDGE, AND UNDERSTANDING FROM AL SEXUAL IMMORALITY. THESE SEXUAL DEMONS HAVE AND CAN DESTROY FAMILIES, CAREERS, AND RELATIONSHIPS, LEADING TO SOME BELIEVING THAT IT’S THE WILL OF GOD TO BE SEXUALLY ACTIVE WITH SOMEONE OF THE SAME SEX, AND YOU CAN NOT BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY DOING SO. IF YOU ARE DIS-EASED BY SEXUAL DESIRES PLACE THEM BEFORE THE LORD, GET RID OF YOUR PORNOGRAPHIC COLLECTION, AND BE HONEST WITH YOUR PARTNER. ASK GOD FOR HEALING AND DELIVERANCE. HE WILL DELIVER, HEAL, AND EMPOWER YOU TO HAVE VICTORY OVER YOUR SEXUAL ADVERSARY.
MARRIAGE IS DEFINED AS THE STATE OF BEING MARRIED #1. THE MUTUAL RELATION OF HUSBAND AND WIFE: WEDLOCK: #2. THE INSTITUTION WHEREBY MEN AND WOMEN ARE JOINED IN A SPECIAL KIND OF SOCIAL AND LEGAL DEPENDENCE FOR THE PURPOSE OF FOUNDING AND MAINTAINING A FAMILY #3. AN INTIMATE OR CLOSE UNION #4.
MARRIAGE IS INTUITION OF LEARNING, OF LOVE, OF SACRIFICE, OF TRIAL, TRIUMPH, CONFLICT, JOY AND GROWTH. A LOT OF PEOPLE GET MARRIED WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORK IT REQUIRES TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE BEING CO-DEPENDENT. I BELIEVE MANY PEOPLE GET MARRIED WITH THE BEST INTENTIONS, HOWEVER NOT SO MUCH THE RIGHT MOTIVES. TAKE ME FOR EXAMPLE…. I GOT MARRIED WITH THE INTENTIONS TO HAVE A FAMILY, AND DO THINGS RIGHT IN THE EYES OF GOD. HOWEVER, MY MOTIVES WERE STRICTLY TO HAVE ACCESS TO SEX ALL THE TIME. MY EX-WIFE AND I GOT MARRIED 90 DAYS AFTER MEETING EACH OTHER WITHOUT ANY MARRIAGE COUNSELING OR AN UNDERSTANDING OF EACH OTHER. AS MUCH AS I LOVED THIS WOMAN, I WAS DRIVEN BY MY OWN LUST INTO A MARRIAGE WHERE I LACKED KNOWLEDGE OF HER AND THE WORK IT TOOK TO KEEP HER, LET ALONE OUR MARRIAGE. I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND COMPROMISE, AND WHEN WE FACED TRIAL, TRIBULATION FOLLOWED BECAUSE WE DIDN’T KNOW ONE ANOTHER, SO THERE WAS NO TRIUMPH. OUR RELATIONSHIP WAS BUILT AROUND GOD BUT NOT ON CHRIST. WE CAME INTO A UNION TO HAVE THREE BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED CHILDREN, ONLY TO SPEND THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR MARRIAGE SEPARATED.
YOU CAN’T LOVE A PERSON IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THEM, AND YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND AN INDIVIDUAL ID YOU DON’T KNOW THEM. ATTITUDES AND MOTIVES MUST BE CHECKED BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL DISAPPOINT YOU AND IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT PERSON YOU’LL WALK AWAY AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE OR DISAPPOINTMENT. LOVE WILL COME AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WILL PERSEVERE THROUGH AND BEYOND THE DISAPPOINTMENTS AND IMPERFECTIONS.
I BELIEVE AS THE BIBLE SAY THAT EVERY MAN HAS HIS WOMAN 1ST CORINTHIANS 7:2. JUST TAKE YOUR TIME AND BECOME GENUINE FRIENDS WITH THAT INDIVIDUAL. ESTABLISH A LINE OF COMMUNICATION WHERE YOU ARE BOTH UPFRONT AND HONEST ABOUT ALL THINGS. SPEND TIME WITH ONE ANOTHER IN PRAYER AND SPEND TIME TALKING TO GOD ABOUT THIS PERSON YOU FEEL SO STRONGLY ABOUT, SO YOU CAN SEE AND HEAR BEYOND YOUR NATURAL FEELINGS. IF YOU LOVE THE LORD, THEY SHOULD AS WELL. FOR THOSE WHO ARE MARRIED MAY GOD BE YOUR HEAD, CHRIST BE YOUR CENTER-PIECE AND FOUNDATION, AND MAY YOUR MARRIAGE BE HEAVEN ON EARTH. FOR THOSE WHO ARE SEEKING TO BECOME MARRIED SEEK THE LORD, BE OPEN WITH GOD ABOUT YOUR DESIRED HUSBAND/WIFE. DON’T BE AFRAID TO TAKE RISK BECAUSE IT MAY REQUIRE FOR YOU TO TAKE STEPS OF FAITH. BELIEVE IN LOVE.
LOVE AND LUST AND THE UNDERLYING FACTORS OF HUMAN EXISTENCE. IN THE BOOK OF ST. JOHN, CHAPTER 3 VERSE 16 GOD’S LOVE FOR THE WORLD IS EXPLAINED AS SUCH. “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.”
LOVE IS DEFINED AS A PASSIONATE AFFECTION FOR SOMEONE. IN CONTRAST LUST IS DEFINED AS AN EXCESSIVE SEXUAL DESIRE, BODILY APPETITE, AND OVERWHELMING DESIRE. NOW THE TWO ARE CLOSELY RELATED, WHILE STILL BEING DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT, WHICH EXPLAINS THE COMMON CONFUSION WITHIN SOCIETY ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. WHERE BOTH WOULD PLEASE THE FLESH, THEY BOTH HAVE DIFFERENT PURPOSES FOR THE SOUL AND SPIRIT OF MAN.
I BELIEVE THAT LOVE CLEARLY ADDRESS’ THE SPIRIT AND SOUL OF MAN TO SAVE HIM FROM HIS FLESH, WHERE AS TO LUST PERTAINING STRICTLY TO THE EYES AND ALL THINGS THAT ONE’S VISION MAY BEHOLD TO ENTRAP THE SOUL AND ENSLAVE THE SPIRIT. LOVE IS LEARNED, IT’S LIMITLESS AND IT’S A BLESSING. LUST IS SELFISH, RUDE, INCONSIDERATE, IMPATIENT, ENVIOUS, JEALOUS, AND IS OF THE EVIL OF THE EARTH. LIKE THE SAYING GOES “TO MUCH OF SOMETHING BAD CAN KILL YOU”, OR AS 1ST CORINTHIANS 15:33 SAYS “EVIL COMMUNICATION CORRUPTS GOOD MANNERS.” I ALSO BELIEVE THE BIBLE SAYS IT BEST IN JAMES 1:15 “THEN WHEN LUST HAS CONCEIVED, IT BRINGS FORTH SIN, WHEN IT IS FINISHED, BRINGS FORTH DEATH.” EVERYTHING STARTS AND ENDS SOMEWHERE, GOOD OR BAD.
I ASKED VERY NEAR AND DEAR FRIEND OF MINE IF SHE TRUSTED MY LOVE FOR HER. SHE RESPONDED SAYING “I GUESS NOT” AND WHEN I ASKED “WHY” HER RESPONSE WAS “PEOPLE FAIL.” I THEN SAID “LOVE NEVER FAILS.” AFTER OUR CONVERSATION I RECEIVED A WORD IN THE SPIRIT THAT WE AS PEOPLE ARE NOT PERFECT, AND WE WILL MAKE MISTAKES. HOWEVER; WITH TRUE LOVE LIVING IN US FROM GOD WE’RE ENABLED TO STRIVE FOR PERFECTION AND LOVE BEYOND OUR MISTAKES AND THE DISAPPOINTMENTS OF OTHERS, LEARNING FROM THEM SO WE’RE NOT FAILURES. YOU ONLY FAIL WHEN YOU CEASE PUTTING FORTH AN EFFORT.
LOVE IS LEARNED. LUST IS A VERY PRESENT EVIL IN OUR SOCIETY. LUST IS SKIN DEEP, WHERE LOVES LOOKS AND SEEKS THE SPIRITUAL MATTER CONCERNING MAN. LOVE WILL COMPROMISE AND ENDURE, WHERE LUST WILL PACK UP AND LEAVE. LOVE IS ETERNAL, VS.LUST BEING TEMPORAL OR ONLY FOR A SEASON. LOVE WILL SUSTAIN VS. LUST BECOMING WEARY. LOVE IS GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT GREATLY GAINING. LOVE IS TEMPERED, LOVE IS GOD AND GOD IS LOVE. LOVE IS THE GREATEST GIFT AND IT’S FOUND IN GOD, AND TRUE LOVE IS GIVEN BY HIM FREELY. LOVE HOPES ALL THINGS, BELIEVES ALL THINGS, ENDURES ALL THINGS, BEARS ALL THINGS, AND IS BOTH PATIENT AND KIND. LOVE LIVES AND I PRAY YOU LIVE IN LOVE. LOVE NEVER FAILS! IS IT LOVE OR LUST?
A SPECIFIC SYSTEM OR PRACTICE OF BELIEF, OR WORSHIP. FOR EXAMPLE YOUR BAPTIST, CATHOLICS, PROTESTANTS, METHODIST, BUDDHISTS, MUSLIMS, MONKS, AND NUNS ARE ALL RELIGIOUS GROUPS. THEY FOLLOW A SET COURSE OF ACTION, COMMITTED TO A CAUSE BELIEVING THEY ARE SAVED BY FOLLOWING THEIR SYSTEM.
RELIGION HAS CAPTIVATED THE WORLD SINCE BEFORE OUR DAY, AND HAS DIVIDED HUMANITY. ONE RELIGIOUS GROUP INCORPORATES A PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR ACCEPTING AND REJECTING CERTAIN DEITY MEASURES, WHILE ANOTHER REQUIRES FOR YOU TO PRAY IN A PARTICULAR MANNER, AND DRESS VERY CONSERVATIVELY. YET IN ALL THESE DIFFERENT FORMS OF DOCTRINE OR TEACHINGS, NO ONE IS 100% CORRECT AS IS SOME HAVE TAILORED THEIR SYSTEM TO FIT THEIR LIFESTYLE. THE MYSTERIES OF GOD ARE NOT TAUGHT, NOR EXPOUNDED UPON IN THESE PRACTICES, FOR FEAR OF LOSING A FEW MEMBERS AND THEIR FAITHFUL TO CONTRIBUTION TO THAT SPECIFIC MINISTRY.
RELIGION REVOLVES AROUND MONEY AND POLITICS, AND IT HAS SINCE THE DAYS OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT. THE SADUCCEES WERE GERMANS, THEY WEREN’T EVEN EDUCATED IN THE JEWISH CUSTOMS YET THEY HAD A GOVERNING POWER OVER THE PEOPLE. THE PHARISEES WERE JEWISH PRIEST THAT USED THE MOSAIC LAW TO INFLUENCE THE CONDUCT OF THOSE LIVING IN THE REGIONS THEY WISHED TO CONTROL USING RELIGION. IN THE DAYS OF CONSTANTINE RELIGION WAS USED AS A TOOL TO CONSOLIDATE AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE. CHRISTIANITY IS THE RELIGIOUS BELIEF SYSTEM IN WHICH MOST OF THE EUROPEAN WORLD ADVANCED ITS EXISTENCE.
THE REVERENCING OF SAINTS AND MARTYRS, SUCH AS PETER AND THE GREAT CONVERT PAUL, CREATED CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THE CONSCIOUSNESS BROUGHT UPON WIDE SPREAD BELIEFS. HOWEVER IN EVERYTHING THERE ARE REBELS AND IN THOSE EARLY DAYS THOSE REBELS WERE REFERRED TO AS PAGANS. THESE ARE THOSE WHO WALKED DURING THE TIME OF JESUS THE CHRIST OF NAZARETH, QUESTIONING, HIS TEACHING, NOT BELIEVING IN HIM OR THE WORDS HE SPOKE, NOR IN THE MIRACLES HE PERFORMED.
RELIGION CAN BE DIMINISHED WHEN A BELIEVER IS BORN AGAIN. (JOHN 3:3-5)
THE FLESH IS BOUND TO THE LAW (THE 10 COMMANDMENTS) BECAUSE THE HEART HAS NOT RECEIVED THE WORKS OF GOD HERE IN THE EARTH DONE ON BEHALF OF MANKIND. THOSE WORKS ARE THE GIVING UP OF HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. JESUS THE CHRIST OF NAZARETH WAS HUNG, PRONOUNCED DEAD, BURIED, AND ROSE AGAIN ASCENDING INTO HEAVEN, BEING GLORIFIED BY GOD THE FATHER, TO SIT AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR US. ACKNOWLEDGING THESE WORKS ARE THE MANIFESTATIONS OF A FREE SPIRITED VESSEL. THE SPIRIT IS FREE FROM SIN BECAUSE THE HEART HAS RECEIVED THE GRACE AND GIFT OF GOD, THE MAN, THE SAVIOR, THE REDEEMER, THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, CHRIST JESUS. WHEN BORN-AGAIN YOU COME OUT OF RELIGIOUS PRACTICES AND INTO A FULL BLOWN RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD INDUCED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT TO BE FED BY THE WORD OF GOD. NOW YOU ARE BEING EQUIPPED AND EDUCATED TO FACE THE TRIAL AND TRIBULATION IN THIS WORLD EMPOWERED BY YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS ANS NATURE OF GOD. YOU ONLY PICK UP ON THESE THINGS SPENDING TIME WITH HIM IN THE WORD TO LEARN OF HIS LOVE, MERCY, AND EXPECTATIONS OF US AS SONS AFTER REPENTANCE, A GODLY SORROW AND TURNING AWAY FROM YOUR COMMITTED SINS.
NOW AFTER REPENTANCE AND THE RECEIVING OF THE PRECIOUS HOLY GHOST, YOU ARE NO LONGER JUST A CHURCH GOER. YOU NOW HEAR THE WORD, AND APPLY THE WORD TO YOUR LIFE AND SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF YOUR SENSITIVITY TO THE NATURE AND GOODNESS OF GOD. YOU’RE NOW COMMITTED TO LIVING A LIFE EXEMPLARY OF CHRISTIAN CONDUCT, DEVELOPING A PRAYER LIFE, AND SPEAKING A NEW LANGUAGE LEARNED FROM TIME IN BIBLE STUDY, SUNDAY SCHOOL, AND ONE ON ONE TIME WITH GOD AT HOME ON THE JOB, AND ON THE GO. NOW WHEN YOU GET TO THE HOUSE OF PRAYER ON SUNDAY AND YOU HEAR THE PASTOR, YOU’RE HEARING CONFIRMATION FROM THE FELLOWSHIP YOU’VE HAD WITH GOD ALL WEEK.
EVERYTHING ABOUT RELIGION HANGS IN THE BALANCE OF CHRIST. YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD 1ST, AND WITH PEOPLE 2ND, ARE ALL ON HOW YOU ACCEPT THE WORKS OF CHRIST FOR YOU PERSONALLY. MANY MEN HAVE DONE GREAT WORKS FOLLOWING CHRIST, BUT JESUS THE CHRIST OF NAZARETH HAS PASSED INTO THE HEAVENS, TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR THOSE OF US WHO BELIEVE ON HIM AND THE GIFT OF GOD’S GRACE.
CHAPTER 7 – FINANCIAL LITERACY
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT MONEY THAT HASN’T BEEN SAID? WHAT CAN I TELL YOU ABOUT MONEY THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN TOLD TO YOU? WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MONEY AND ITS POWER? SOME ARGUE THAT MONEY ISN’T NECESSARY, AND SOME WILL EVEN GO SO FAR AS TO SAY IT’S A FIGMENT OF THEE IMAGINATION. HOWEVER, IN ECCLESIASTES 10:19 THE WORD OF GOD SAYS THAT “MONEY ANSWERS ALL THINGS.”
WE AS PEOPLE ABUSE, AND OR PERVERT THE USE OF MONEY AND HAVE OVERTIME ALLOWED MONEY TO ENSLAVE US. WE DO ANYTHING AND ALMOST EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN FOR THE “ALMIGHTY DOLLAR” INSTEAD OF ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN FOR THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE ALMIGHTY GOD, AND THEE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. 1ST MISTAKE MOST ARE GUILTY OF IS FAILURE TO TITHE, NOT BRINGING GOD OR GIVING GOD 10%. WE WORK JOBS IN FEAR OF NOT HAVING MONEY TO SURVIVE, AND WE KEEP THESE JOBS FUELING THE FEAR THAT IF WE DON’T WORK A JOB WE CAN’T LIVE. THERE IS NO FREEDOM IN THAT. SO INSTEAD OF PEOPLE HAVING MONEY WORK FOR THEM, MOST PEOPLE WORK ALL THEIR LIVES FOR MONEY. THIS BEHAVIOR TAKES PLACE IN FAMILIES FOR GENERATIONS BECAUSE PARENTS LACK A FINANCIAL EDUCATION TO PASS ONTO THEIR CHILDREN SO THAT THEY CAN GET OUT OF THE RAT RACE. THIS LEADS TO GENERATION AFTER GENERATION BEING LEFT IGNORANT TO THE POWER OF MONEY EMBEDDING A MIND STATE THAT YOU AS A PERSON HAVE NO POWER OVER MONEY. RELATIONSHIPS WITH FINANCES HAVE NO SUBSTANCE OTHER THAN TO WORK FOR IT SO YOU CAN PAY THE NECESSARY BILLS IN ORDER TO SURVIVE AND THAT’S NOT LIVING. THE PRINCIPLES OF MONEY ARE UNDISCLOSED LEADING TO FINANCIAL ENSLAVEMENT, INSTEAD OF FINANCIAL FREEDOM.
PEOPLE NEED TO BE FINANCIALLY EDUCATED. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO BE FINANCIALLY HONEST AND RESPONSIBLE. PROOF THAT PEOPLE AREN’T FINANCIAL LITERATE IS EVIDENT IN THE FACT THAT PEOPLE MISQUOTE OR TAKE OUT OF CONTEXT THE WORD OF GOD STATING THAT “THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.” (1ST TIMOTHY 6:10)
THE KEY WORD IS “LOVE”. WE AS PEOPLE COVET THE THINGS WE BELIEVE HAVING MONEY CAN AND WILL DO FOR FLESH TO BE SATISFIED. MANY CULTURES, SPECIFICALLY THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN PEOPLE LEARN MONEY THROUGH THE HARDSHIPS OF LIFE. VERY SELDOM ARE THERE STRUCTURED HOUSEHOLDS WHERE FINANCIAL LITERACY IS BEING TAUGHT, AND THIS EXTENDS EVEN INTO THE PUBLIC SCHOOLING SYSTEMS. OUR GRANDPARENTS DIDN’T TEACH OUR PARENTS, AND IN TURN WE WERE NEVER TAUGHT TO BE FINANCIALLY SAVVY.
IGNORANCE TO THE USE AND POWER OF MONEY HAVE LED TO GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION, WORLD WARS, STACK MARKET CRASHES, COMPANY FAILURES, AND BUY-OUTS, BROKEN MARRIAGES, AND POVERTY STRICKEN COMMUNITIES AND GENERATIONS. THE LOVE OF MONEY CAUSE AND BRINGS ABOUT DEATH, GRIEF, BITTERNESS, ENVY, JEALOUSY AND ALL OTHER EVIL
PEOPLE HAVE POWER OVER MONEY. WE ARE A GENERATION THAT CAN PASS DOWN TO OUR CHILDREN A FINANCIAL EDUCATION, SO THEY’RE NOT WORKING FOR MONEY, BUT MONEY IS WORKING FOR THEM AND THE GENERATIONS TO COME.
PARENTING IS THE WORK OR SKILL OF A PARENT IN RAISING A CHILD. THE PURPOSE OF PARENTING IS TO PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN, AND EDUCATE THEM TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE IN THIS WORLD. BEING A PARENT IS A GIFT, AS WELL AS AN OBLIGATION, AND RESPONSIBILITY. OUR CHILDREN ENTER THIS WORLD THROUGH THE FREQUENCY OF HIGH VIBRATION ENERGY WITH THE BREATHE OF GOD. DEPENDING ON HOW YOU WERE RAISED WILL BRING VARIOUS OUTLOOKS ON HOW YOU ARE PARENTING. I BELIEVE PARENTING IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MAN AND WOMAN THAT HAVE TO COME TOGETHER TO BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY. THE ART OF PARENTING IS STRICKEN BY TECHNOLOGY, GOVERNMENT PROGRAMMING, AND MUSIC.
I REMEMBER A DAY WHEN THE BLACK COMMUNITY WAS A BLACK COMMUNITY. NEIGHBORS WERE ALLOWED TO LOVE ON YOU, WHETHER HARD OR SOFT IT WAS LOVE. THE STRUCTURE OF THE HOUSEHOLD IS STRICKEN, BY MEDIA AND POWER STRUGGLES, TO EVOLVE ABOVE THE STATUS QUO. GENERATIONS OF CHILDREN ARE ABANDONED IN MANNERS IMPORTANT TO DEVELOPMENTAL WAYS DUE TO RELATIONSHIP TRAUMA FROM THE BIRTH PARENTS. MANNERISMS ARE NO LONGER TAUGHT NOR ENCOURAGED IN A GENERATION OF 2K.
TODAY IS SEEMS AS IF OUR CHILDREN ARE BEING RAISED BY THE TELEVISION AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES, IN COMPARISON TO NEWSPAPERS AND BOOKS. THE ART OF PARENTING IS DISCOURAGED BY SOCIETY CLASSIFYING A GOOD OL’ BUTT WHOOPING, CHILD ABUSE. CHILDREN ARE GRAFTED INTO THE SYSTEM BECAUSE THE ABSENCE OF DISCIPLINE IN THE HOME. GOD SAYS IN PROVERBS 13:24 “HE THAT SPARES THE ROD HATES HIS SON: BUT HE THAT LOVES HIM CHASTENS HIM BETIMES.” PROVERBS 19:18 “CHASTEN THY SON WHILE THERE IS HOPE; LET NOT YOUR SOUL SPARE FOR HIS CRYING.” WHY ARE WE IN BONDAGE BECAUSE THE LAW OF THE LAND IS REVERENCED MORE THAN GOD’S? CHILDREN HAVE NO HOPE OUTSIDE OF GOVERNMENT PROGRAMMING WITHOUT THE FELLOWSHIP AND COMMUNION OF A STRUCTURED FATHER/MOTHER HOME.
PARENTING REQUIRES A STABLE HOME ENVIRONMENT HEALTHY ENOUGH SPIRITUALLY TO WHERE THE CHILDREN CAN PROPERLY DEVELOP AND LACK NOTHING. CHILDREN LACK LOVE FOR LACK OF EXPERIENCE. THINGS LOVE OUR ATTENTION AND WE LOVE THINGS. THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE TO WIN OVER OUR CHILDREN, LOVING THEM. NO ONE PERSON CAN RAISE A CHILD. A VILLAGE IN YOUNGSTOWN, OH RAISED WITH CHRIST RAISED ME. WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER LEARNING THE SKILLS TO PROTECT, EDUCATE, AND RAISE OUR CHILDREN TO A STANDARD WHERE THEY ARE SURVIVING AND THRIVING WITH LOVE IN THIS WORLD LACKING NOTHING.
A LIFESTYLE ASSOCIATED NEGATIVELY WITH A GENERATION OF GOVERNMENT PROGRAMMED ADULTS THAT PLAY THE HANDS THEIR DEALT. COMING FROM BROKEN HOMES, PROJECT/ SECTION 8/ & MILITARY HOUSING, BEING IN MOST CASES A SINGLE PARENT SITUATION, PLAYS AN INFLUENCE IN THE REARING UP OF A CHILD. WITH NO DISCIPLINARIAN IN THE HOME CONSISTENTLY A BREED OF HUSTLERS COME FORTH. THESE SOULS HUSTLE AGGRESSIVELY TO GET THERE PIECE OF THE AMERICAN CAUSE’ THAT’S ALL SHE’S GIVING. THERE IS A WAR ON DRUGS AND THE MOST POWERFUL MILITARY IN THE WORLD CAN’T STOP NARCOTICS FROM GETTING INTO THE COUNTRY. HOWEVER; I’M THROWN IN JAIL LIKE I CONTROL THE BOARDERS AND MANUFACTURED THE NARCOTICS. NOW IM LABELED A HUSTLER BECAUSE THE DRUGS SHOWED UP ON MY STREETS AND SOMEBODY WAS WILLING TO PAY ME FOR THEIR USAGE.
BLACK AMERICA WAS BORN INTO SUCH A YOKE OF BONDAGE. HAVING TO FACE DRUNKENNESS, AND HATE AMONG ST YOUR OWN PEOPLE, A NATURAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELF IS APPLIED IN EARLY ADOLESCENCE, AND NOW A CHILD IS LIVING AS AN ADULT. CURRENCY IS THE MIND STATE, AND FOR UNPROFITABLE THINGS THERE IS NO TOLERANCE. LIVING EARLY ON IN THIS MATTER TEACHES YOU THE WAYS OF THE WORLD. IF I HAVE THE MONEY, AND CARS, AND WOMEN, I CAN HAVE THE WORLD. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA COMING TO WAS A HUSTLE. THEY SOLD SLAVES FOR LAND, AND TRADED LIQUOR AND GUNS FOR COTTON.
SO GET YO HUSTLE ON.
THERE ARE VARIOUS TYPES OF EDUCATION. JUST TO NAME AND TOUCH ON A FEW, SPIRITUAL, ACADEMIC, PROFESSIONALLY, FINANCIAL, AND SOCIETAL. EACH ONE PREPARES YOU FOR THE NEXT LEVEL OF SUCCESS DELEGATED TO THAT STUDY.
GOD HAS BEEN PUT OUT OF THE SCHOOLS AND WE NEED TO PUT HIM BACK. WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES AND REPERCUSSIONS OF A CHILD CONTINUOUSLY BEING A SCHOOL DISTURBANCE? IS IT A PADDLE OR A VISIT TO THE SCHOOL NURSE? MEANING WHY CHILDREN CAN’T BE DISCIPLINED IN THE CLASSROOM ANYMORE? BECAUSE GOD SAID THAT WAS A GOOD THING. SCHOOLS ARE NOW HOMELAND SECURITY ISSUES BECAUSE YOU STOP A PARENT FROM BEING A PARENT AT WORK. IF EVERY TEACHER WANTED THEIR VERY OWN CHILD TO LEARN ABOUT ANYTHING THEY TEACH IT TO THEM. WHEN YOU TAKE AWAY THE AUTHORITY IN A BENEFICIAL SETTING, YOU LOSE THE ATTENTION SPAN OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS BECAUSE THEY’RE PLAYING ON THEIR PHONES. ANOTHER ART TO EDUCATING IS THAT PARENTS HAVE TO WORK WITH THE SCHOOLS. IF WE ARE HOLDING OUR STUDENTS TO HIGHER STANDARD THEN THE INTEGRITY OF THE EDUCATOR WILL COME UP.
SCHOOLS NEED TO TEACH ABOUT JESUS THE CHRIST OF NAZARETH, MONEY, AND THE VAST FIELD OF PROFESSIONALISM. A DROP-OUT STUDENT NO MATTER WHAT LEVEL OF EDUCATION DOESN’T STOP LEARNING WHEN THEY STOP ATTENDING CLASS. THEY LEARN THE WAYS OF SOCIETY BY EXPERIENCING REAL LIFE SCENARIOS BUT ARE ABLE TO OVERTIME, OVER ACHIEVE KNOWING HOW TO APPLY THE LESSONS FROM HARDSHIPS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. THE BEST TEACHER IS EXPERIENCE AND NO TWO EXPERIENCES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. I BELIEVE ALL FACETS OF EDUCATION ARE IMPORTANT, BUT THE INVESTMENT I SELF IS THE EDUCATION MOST BENEFICIAL. YOUR MIND CAN ALWAYS BE DEVELOPED SO LEARN A LITTLE ABOUT A LOT, IN THE TIME YOU HAVE.
THIS CHAPTER SPEAKS ON THE QUALITY AND CONDITION OF FREEDOM BOTH PHYSICALLY AND FINANCIALLY IN REGARDS TO THE LEGAL SYSTEM. HAVING RESIDENCY HERE IN THE EARTH BRINGS US SUBJECT TO THE LAWS, RULES, ORDINANCES, DECLARATIONS, BILLS, CONSTITUTIONS, AND COST OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM. FROM CHILD SUPPORT TO JAY-WALKING YOU CAN BECOME A NAME ON A COURT DOCKET AND THE PROCEEDINGS WILL BEGIN. THE LICENSE PLATE STICKER THAT EXPIRES ON YOUR BIRTHDAY COULD BE YOUR LEGAL PROCEEDING. NOW THERE MAY BE IMPOSED FINES, PLUS COURT COST AND IT CAN GET EXTENSIVE, BASED UPON DRIVING HISTORY AND LAWS OBEYED AND DISOBEYED AND THE TIME OF THIS DISCOVERY. GETTING PULLED OVER WITH A SUSPENDED LICENSE IS WHAT HAS A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE COUNTY JAILS POPULATED AND THAT COULD BE BECAUSE OF BACK CHILD SUPPORT, PROBATION VIOLATIONS, OR HAVING TIME IN THE PENAL SYSTEM. THE LEGAL SYSTEM CAN PRESENT ENTRAPMENT’S EXTENDING FROM LIVING ARRANGEMENTS AND SPOUSAL ISSUES.
IN THE STATE OF OHIO MANY MEN ARE FACED WITH A MULTITUDE OF LEGALITIES HAVING A GREAT EFFECT ON THE ASPECTS OF HOME. YET, IN THE FACE OF ALL THESE YOU HAVE HOPE AND POWER TO PERSEVERE THROUGH AND OVERCOME. OBTAIN A SUPPORT SYSTEM AND AS YOU LEAN ON GOD AND USES OTHER YOUR FREEDOM FROM THE LEGAL SYSTEM WILL BECOME ILLUMINATED TO SOON MANIFEST.
I WROTE THIS MANIFESTO BY WAY OF GOD LEADING ME. AT THE TIME OF ITS ORIGINATION I WAS SERVING A 10 MONTH JAIL SENTENCE IN THE FRANKLIN COUNTY JAIL. THE REASON I WAS SENTENCED WAS BECAUSE I HAD THREE MISDEMEANOR PROBATION VIOLATIONS IN ADDITION TO CATCHING TWO NEW CHARGES, VIOLATING A PROTECTION ORDER. I PUT MYSELF IN THE PRESENCE OF MY WIFE AND CHILDREN KNOWING THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES FOR MY DIS-OBEDIENCE. I COULD HAVE TAKEN OFF RUNNING TO EVADE AND ELUDE LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT OWNED UP TO MY WRONGS IN THE FACE OF MY CHILDREN.
I HAD A LOT OF TIME TO THINK, PRAY, LISTEN TO GOD, ACCEPT HIS WILL, RECEIVE HIS INSTRUCTIONS, & FELLOWSHIP TO BE PRODUCTIVE, AND PROSPEROUS AS GOD PURPOSED. I COULD HAVE EASILY WASTED ALL 244 DAYS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FOOD, OR LACK OF VISITS, AND NOT SEEK OUT GOD, BUT I THANK GOD HE DIDN’T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. HE SENT ME A HELP-MATE, THAT HELPED HIM EQUIP ME FOR WHERE I STAND AND SPEAK FROM NOW. HE GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO ONCE AGAIN COME UNTO HIM AND GET CLEAN TO LEARN MORE OF HIM. I READ THE BIBLE IN THE SPAN OF TWO MONTHS BY THE LEADING OF THE PRECIOUS HOLY GHOST. I LEARNED THE WEAPONS OF OUR SPIRITUAL WARFARE BY WAY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, AND THE KNOWLEDGE, POWER, AND AUTHORITY TO USE THOSE WEAPONS BY WAY OF READING THE NEW TESTAMENT. MY LIFE STARTED TO CHANGE AS GOD RENEWED ME THROUGH THE FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM.
I LEARNED TO LOVE AND MAKE THE MOST OF MY GIFTS IN THE MINISTRY. I WAS GIVEN SOMEONE TO LOVE WITH A GODLY LOVE THAT HAS NO LIMITS, OR EXCUSES. IT HAS NO HATE, OR ILL-REGARD, AND IT LOVES AT ALL TIMES. THROUGH THIS PROCESS OF LEARNING TO LOVE, I BECAME HUMBLE AND LEARNED MEEKNESS BECAUSE LOVE IS NOT SELFISH. LEANING ON GOD AND ALLOWING HIS SPIRIT TO BLESS, AND PROTECT ME, MY EDUCATIONAL AND SPIRITUAL JOURNEY BECAME ENJOYABLE. BEING ENLIGHTENED OF MY SON-SHIP ENHANCED MY PERSONAL AWARENESS AND ATTITUDE TOWARDS GOD, HIS WORD, HIS VOICE, AND IT BROUGHT FORTH THIS MANIFESTO AS WELL.
I’VE LIVED LIFE TO BE CURRENTLY 29YRS. OF AGE. I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL ON TIME. I WENT TO THE NAVY, AS WELL AS COLLEGE WHERE I LIVED IN THE DORMITORY. I’VE BEEN TO PRISON, A FEW DIFFERENT COUNTY JAILS, HUSTLED ON THE STREET CORNER, TRAVELED THIS COUNTRY AND HAVE GOTTEN MARRIED AND DIVORCED. I’VE GIVEN MY LIFE TO THE LORD AND KNOW HIM PERSONALLY TO WHERE I AM FULLY PERSUADED AND CONFIDENT ABOUT HOW I WALK, AND BELIEVE. I STILL DEAL WITH THE AMBITIOUS AS A HUSTLER TO MAKE THE FAST MONEY, JUSTIFYING IT AS A MEANS TO TAKE CARE OF MY CHILDREN, BUT THIS MANIFESTO IS MY PRODUCT ON THE BLOCK BY GOD
I’VE MADE MY DECISION IN MY HEART TO WALK WITH GOD AND EVEN WHEN I GET IMPATIENT HE HAS CLOSED THE DOORS TO ANY FURTHER BONDAGE I’VE BEEN FREED OF BECAUSE HE SAID HE WILL NEVER LEAVE ME NOR FORSAKE ME. I BELIEVE MY SPIRITUAL MOTHER SAID IT BEST…..” YOUR MISERY IS YOUR MINISTRY. AT RESURRECTION POWER I HEARD THE SAYING “YOUR SET BACK WAS A SET UP FOR YOUR COME BACK, AND I THANK GOD FOR THE STEPS IN THE PROCESS AS I’M COMING FORTH AS PURE GOLD. BLESS YOU ALL IN THE PRECIOUS, POWERFUL AND ALMIGHTY NAME OF JESUS THE CHRIST OF NAZARETH.
AMEN!
