My Two Cents on Trayvon Martin

I posted this on my FB page and from the response decided to blog it.  Please hear my heart people...that's all I'm asking.

To my white friends that I see are discussing deleting people from their pages.  It’s your page do your thing.  I respect your feelings and the life you live, so I added this disclaimer.  If you feel the need to delete me once I show you my heart, do what you have to do.  I will be the first to delete people for pure ignorance BUT don’t measure a person by ONE incident.  It’s not their totality.  I will have NOTHING but love for you.  If you’re on my page you know that I HAVE NEVER done or said anything to you PERSONALLY that was disrespectful, hateful or racist.  I’ve only been a friend/classmate/co-worker to you.  I know you don’t understand the walk I walk, just like I don’t understand yours. This doesn’t change anything between us.  But until you walk a mile in my shoes…  I am a BLACK WOMAN that means I give birth to BLACK MEN, A TARGET IN THIS SOCIETY, POINT BLANK, PERIOD!  Love you much!!!  #CheckTheStats

I’ve read all the posts on my newsfeed and everyone is focused on the INJUSTICE in this country for black men.  They say WAKE UP and realize this system wasn’t designed for you.  I say that this situation more than anything should show BLACK MEN just how POWERFUL you are.  THEY HATE YOU BECAUSE THEY KNOW YOUR WORTH - YOU DON’T!!!!!  It is my PERSONAL BELIEF that black men are one of the most powerful creations on this earth.  WHY?  THEY HAVE THE MOST OPPOSITION!!!!  No one fears or puts in place a design to SYSTEMATICALLY destroy you unless they have reason to fear you.  They don’t fear you because you’re dangerous in the sense they MADE YOU OUT TO BE.  They fear your MIND because it’s powerful!  They don’t understand how you can do what you do.  You drug dealers are doing chemistry and algebra in your head.  You hustlers are CEO’s of your own company.  You rappers are orators who can bring people together with your words.  REFOCUS YOUR GIFTS AND TALENTS TO ELEVATE YOUR COMMUNITY IN A POSITVE WAY.  Know that you descended from KINGS and QUEENS, not SLAVERY.  Know all the things that AFRICANS CREATED!!!!  DON’T BELIEVE THE LIES!!! STOP KILLING EACH OTHER over nonsense, money, cars, women, drugs!!!! Open your eyes and see it for what it really is.  Get in school, stay in school and educate yourselves in THEIR SYSTEM. Go to the library, talk to old people READ A D#MN BOOK and EDUCATE YOURSELVES IN OUR TRUTH – KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!! The best war strategy is to infiltrate your enemy from the inside.  You gotta know their system to change it.  I am not telling you to USE VIOLENCE, I AM TELLING YOU TO USE YOUR MIND!!! TAKE YOUR PLACE IN SOCIETY! RAISE YOUR BABIES; ONLY A BLACK MAN CAN SHOW A BLACK MAN HOW TO BE A BLACK MAN!!!! YOU ARE THE HEAD OF THIS CULTURE we need you to take your place.  BLACK WOMEN it’s time to have their backs. I am not saying you can’t date another race of man that’s absolutely fine but you will STILL GIVE BIRTH TO A BLACK MAN.  So I submit to the women, the carriers of our culture that we DEMAND BLACK MEN STEP UP AND DON’T SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN THEIR BEST.  Use your influence to BUILD THEM UP, ELEVATE their minds and remind them of their worth DAILY because they are bombarded DAILY with everybody else telling them they ain’t nothing! 

To my Christian family, I don’t know why God made us all different races.  Personally I’m pretty doggone proud to be in my beautiful black skin.  I am fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of the MOST HIGH GOD.  He is #JehovahRohi and my ultimate protector and yours!  He is sovereign and he does not make mistakes.  Take the time to say, hey God, we hurting down here, what are you working on that we can’t see.  Know your CREATOR; you will NEVER UNDERSTAND your PURPOSE until you ask the ONE that CREATED YOU!!!

For Such a Time as This

I wrote this in 2007 but it is still relevant today because I am now trying to do just this with my life...Looks like I prophesied to myself...HA!  I hope you enjoy!

 

This past Sunday a guest pastor spoke at my church.  He mentioned something in his message that just made a light bulb come on in my head.  This is something that I have been harping about for a while (The Children Are Our Future).

                                                             The World “The Why”

-Baby Boomers – 1946-1964 – During a time of great economic stability people were making babies at unprecedented rates, conservative, educated - BS

-Generation X – 1966-1980 – The “lost” or “invisible” generation – described as entrepreneurial and tech-friendly – rebellious and turning away from God, educated – BS, Master’s

-Generation Next – 1981-1988 – Grew up with personal computers, cell phones and the internet – no moral context, accepts anything – educated – BS, Master’s, PhD’s

 

The Church “The How”

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. ~ Ephesians 6:12 (KJV – 21^st Century)

I promise you there is a method to my madness.  Just allow yourself to put into context the world we live in. 

Now, what exactly is going on?  Most of the issues with the world I try to see it from a spiritual point of view because that often answers the “how” things happen.  In 2007 the baby boomers are retiring if not dying out leaving the world in the hands of the Generations X and Next.  The world is not what it was when the baby boomers grew up or had their children. It has drastically changed and not for the better.  However because of the age the Xers and Nexters came up in we are more adapt to change to see the progressive side of life and make “our own way.” 

Now put that thought in the church, back then you heard Jesus is coming back soon and Hell, Fire, and Brimstone messages and not that they are not applicable because they are, but there is still work to do.  It’s time to do more than just be “saved” to secure your seat in Heaven.  Because of our progressive mentality we are more susceptible to understanding God positioning His people around the world to make a difference.  We are the generations that can bring about change in the world for God because we can be in the church and be a strong presence there but also be the entrepreneurs, CEO’s, and teachers in the world as a light for those who need hope. 

This pastor said the prayer handles spiritual demons but money handles human demons.  The shift of the world’s wealth is coming to us and we will be in powerful positions to do God’s work.  So now my point, we are the generation that the enemy is seeking to devour.  Every kind of sin is rampant; drugs, alcohol, sexual immorality, fornication, adultery, to name a few. 

Please understand who is being targeted, the youth and the men, in other words the FUTURE and the FOUNDATIONS of the home and it is all a plot of the enemy to silence the voices that God is trying to raise up.  We have to be smarter than this people; we can no longer float through life aimlessly.  Every single one of us was born with a purpose and it’s time we get back to God and find out what that purpose is and do it.  We must do it with so much conviction that people MUST stop and pay attention. 

Find your purpose and God will position you to bring about His purpose.  It’s time to get back to church, not the commercialized, money hungry, divorce is okay, homosexuality is okay, monetary prosperity only church’s being splattered all over the media.  The real church’s (yes they still exist) the praying, fasting, interceding, visionaries who have a heart for God and people to do His will no matter what. 

Oh I really should mention this, don’t get it twisted, Heaven and Hell are still very near, check out Revelations and look at the times, so let’s get to getting because time is in fact running out!!!

 

Don’t let six strong men carry you back to church. ~ Unknown
