People die every day and babies are born every day and between the birth and death is life, the first life. Who are you within this life? Is life when one could be called a father with no children to raise; or a mother who is single within her heart? What about a grandparent(s) who is more a mother or father to the children while the children are lost and angry – because their parents are nothing to them? They become something they do not like because the parents that conceived them are without – depression sets in and death and hopelessness are welcomed and this becomes everyone’s life.
The churches sing as to ease the pain, but even the best song gets boring. Therefore, the church brings in dancing, hoping to entertain the pain away because the Jesus they speak of is not working. It’s not working because the preachers have no idea how to make it work. People are as enslaved now as they were over 400 years ago; don’t believe me, look at Milwaukee then look around Milwaukee. Who lives in Milwaukee, and who lives around Milwaukee?
My people… are you tired of being tired because life is not what you need it to be? Did you just leave church to a house where it’s still hard to swallow the lifestyle? Did everyone around you die or is ready to die which would make you next in line and you welcome it?
My heart feels for our people. The truth is, the sun will rise until it doesn’t. Death and birth will be until it doesn’t. You see, the end will come. The end will come to each baby that is born, some sooner than others. Then you will come to a conclusion that what you did in the first life was what determined your second life. You will come to a conclusion that not what you just believe, nor what you sang about, nor what you danced about will be the determining factor.
Our first life is about making choices between the time of birth and death. The choice is only one thing… God.
Within religion, there is Jesus who came from a woman called Mary. Jesus had a father, Joseph, who was not a father by reproducing but a father because of raising his son. He also has a Spiritual Father we call God – the same God you call Father. If Jesus came from a woman, and you come from a woman, then what is the difference? Jesus breathed as you breathe as Adam breathed after God breathed into the form that all comes from our Father.
What I am not saying is we are like Jesus; what I am saying is we ARE exactly like Jesus. For those who do not understand, we are exactly like Jesus with very different purposes. The Father started something through Adam and Woman that has not changed… Genesis 1:27-28 ( KJV ) 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
You have God’s own image! You have God’s permission to have dominion (power) and to subdue (control) this Earth. Jesus came to show some of you how to do it as a Priest, while Boaz, and Job showed the kings how to do it. Please understand this…Revelation 1:5-6 ( KJV ) 5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Jesus had a purpose and all that he did he did it onto the Father. Job, all that he did he did it to the Father. However, if asked, “How is your life as a Priest, with power and control? How is your life as a King with power and control?” What is it to say that you have been in a church or churches and your life has no power nor control over anything!!! God is all powerful, who formed you in His image who has given you permission to have dominion and to subdue this Earth… He gave you Jesus, Job, and Boaz. Nevertheless, even with all these examples from God you still live below the standard of Jesus as a Priest or as Job a King.
Churches are 5 on a block within the ghetto, and the big churches take up a block away from the ghetto. What is going on!!! Psalms 82:2- 4 ( KJV ) 2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah 3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
God is looking at you. God has given you power. God has given you control. God will judge you according… Revelation 22:12 ( KJV ) 12And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Let’s face it… Someone could give you a title – where is the power to change lives within the community? Someone could show you Jesus; where is the following of Jesus and casting out demons, healing the sick, and so on? People of God and those who are… It is time, or you will be left behind… or worse… in the Lake of Fire.
