Letting go of past errors is difficulty for some, but necessary. When we let go, it opens new levels of growth and possibilities. Sometimes holding on to our own ways, half truths, and ideas that produce more harm than good only keep us in a low state.
We have been many error by our past teachers. For example, that Christ and the Israelites are Europeans or of Greek and Roman descent; that the black Jews of Africa, Spain, and the rest of the world were all white people; that the prophecies in the Bible are all fulfilled and God is no longer working in our current history. We have been taught by the missionaries that as followers of Christ our only duty is to love and not to concern ourselves with the events of the world and where we fit in in the world as a unique individual and people. Our teachers also taught us that Christ only belongs to the Israelites and not the nations, and many such things. They taught these error either out of malicious intent or out of ignorance. But, we must move on, separating ourselves from errors. By broadening your understanding and moving away from errors, Growth and development is achieved. The Bible states that a wise man will hear and increase in learning, but a foolish person will reject wise counsel ( Prov.9:9, Prov. 1:7). It is our duty then, as believers, to study and learn the truth ( 2 Tim. 2:15), to prove all things weather it is true or false( 1 Thess. 5:21), to test all things by the spirit of God(1 John 4:1); which is His word- "the words I speak unto you, they are spirit( John 6:63)").
In order for us to continue to develop as a people in our faith and have impact in our society, we must be willing to let go of past errors and misunderstandings. We can do this by going back to the source of our faith, which is the Holy Bible (Rom. 15:4, 1 Cor. 10:11, Is. 30:8, Jer. 30:2, Deut. 17:18,19). Go back and do as God says do- "seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read ( Is. 34:16)." Reading the book for ourselves will help us see the development of our history. It will reveal how we came from the other side of the flood and grew into a multitude of peoples. It will show the history from Abraham, to the twelve fathers, to a nation spreading all over the old world-calling many to the faith. And it will show the progression through the ages of both Israel and the nations, moving along to the other side of the Atlantic.
When we read, we will come face to face with the God of prophecy, who rules in all nations in order to bring about his divine kingdom on earth( Dan. 2:20,21,22, Dan. 4:17). Reading the Bible ourselves will help us see God's movement throughout history in order to face the enemy of all mankind: Satan. It was this spiritual demon that initiates the collapse of the kingdom of Adam and ushered in our current state of chaos, which started immediately after the fall of our first father Adam. You will see, when you read, God's intention to end all evil and bring mankind back into faith with Himself again. God designed the events of history to lead up to the birth and life-work of His Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. And that at the completion of Christ's work a new era was ushered in, wherein all who sided with him were counted among the saints of God and all who refused him or twisted his message were on the side of evil.
And as we continue to read the saga of our times, we will come to understand that in the end God intends to meet those who belong to the evil one face to face in the final war in the land of Israel. This is the war of Armageddon, as stated in the Bible. It will be a decisive moment in history, when God will become evident to all the world by His physical presence and actions. To those of us who have faith in the Bible and seek to understand the truth of it, that day will be a confirmation of our beliefs and hope. But, if we hold on to half truths, misunderstandings, and our own ideas about the Bible, that day will be a shock and dissolution only( 2 Thess. 2:11,12). We will be just as those who hold to the side of the evil one. It will be to us and them as Christ said, " For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth(Luke 21:35)"- read Luke 21:34-36. Therefore, brethren, I urge you, reconsider what you've been taught thus far and ask yourself, does it match what the Bible says? If not, let it go and open the book of the Lord and read it for yourself-seek the truth(2 Thess. 2:13).
And to help you avoid errors also, do what our master teacher, Christ, taught us- ask God to reveal to you what you don't understand through His Holy Spirit, and by the use of the holy scriptures- 2 Tim.2:7, Phil. 3:15, 1 Cor. 2:7,8,9,10,11, Gal. 1:11,12, John 16:12,13,14, 1 John 2:20,21, 24,25,26,27,28,29.

Let No Man Take Your Crown
Revelation 3:11
"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."
Ask yourself, what is it that you have? Think about this. It's not referring to the worldly possessions we have in this physical world, but something more eternal.
What we have as true believers of the gospel is our faith, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the revelation of the mysteries of God, the understanding of the beginning of time, the middle of time, and the end of time, we have the sure hope of the kingdom of God and Christ, we have the confidence that comes with faith, the power to overcome adversity, the ability to love when everything says love is dead, we have the gift of laughter and joy in the midst of pain, because we know him who said, "I will rise you up again, thou you fall seven times." God has given us a tongue for our reward, which none of our enemies can defeat. He has given us His word, which the world cannot overthrow; it rises in each and every generation of the believers to condemn the wicked and justify the just. We have the truth of who we are: the Children of Israel, the Children of God. We have each others, even when we are far apart- our spirits is present, so that not even death can not separate us from the love we have for each others. We have the messages of our teachers and prophets given to us by God written in the text of the holy scriptures- that says to us, " I have endeavored, with all diligence, that after I am gone, you may have this message with you always( 2 Peter1:15)." And again, " lo, I am with you till the end of the World(Matt.28:20)." We who have believe God, hold unto what we have in God and put no confidence in the flesh or this world, which is rapidly vanishing away.
And though some men may try to prevent us form entering into the blessed hope of God in Christ by lies, twisted truth, and the seductions of this worldly realm, we refuse to be drawn away from the love of Christ and God. As Satan attempted to draw Christ away ( Matt. 4:1-10) from God by lies and seduction, so his angels try the same with us daily. But, we like Christ withstand them with the word and the power of God's Holy Spirit. We know the voice of our shepherd and we follow Him, other voices we will not follow.
We are waiting for the promise of the end. We are waiting for the prophecy of the rise of the tribes of Jacob and the gathering of the people from among the nations that belong to God. We are waiting for the message of the final gospel to be sounded around the globe by the last prophets, the 144,000 of the 12 tribes of Israel. Because we know that to them was give the final message by Christ ( Rev. 14:1-13). This is what God has given to us. And this is our crown, and we will not let any man take it from us.

Worship in Spirit and Truth
Is our faith dependent on a leader, church, or school for us to worship God through Christ? Some would say yes, it is a requirement to be a part of a church body or organized school. This they recommend for several reasons, such as to fellowship with fellow believers, learning the word of God, and to pray together. These are all correct reasons based on scripture to congregate ( Heb, 10:24-25, Rom. 10:14, Matt. 18:19-20). But this relate to the true body of Christ. Those who worship God in spirit and truth. The current Christianity is a blend of paganism and the scriptures with white supremacy and other movements are mostly the doctrine of men and not God. We are not commanded by God to join any of these organizations, rather we are warned to depart from them and not to let them deceive us in any way (Matt. 24:4,5).
The idea that without a specific place or leader( other than Christ) we are not true followers of God or Christ is a fallacy commonly used by many deceivers, who seek to manipulate others with fear tactics and guilt to bring them into their schools of thoughts and belief systems. They skillfully twist the scripture to make the listener feel that they must be dependent on a place or a preacher or a specific congregation in order to have access to God and Christ. This can be seen in some Hebrew Israelite schools, churches, and religious cults, who manipulate the truth to gain followers. They are like the ancient Pharisees and early cult leader of the first century, who skillfully distorted the holy scriptures by teaching half truths in order to make personal disciples out of their followers for their money and whatever pleasure they may obtain from the labors and bodies. These are not the ministers of Christ, but teachers of their own evil and twisted desires.
They that hold to this way of thinking refuse to acknowledge that God is the author and continuer of all faith, who must be worshiped in spirit and truth. And that this faith is initiated in each individual first and not in a collective body. Thus it is the responsibility of each individual to be convince in himself of the supremacy of God in his own life and in the universe. Then the believer must continue to grow his faith with the help of the Holy Spirit- how is the primary teacher of all believers. No mention is made of having to belong to a church or specific group for faith to be established. Hence, this is why Christ stressed to the Samaritan woman that she will not worship God in her holy mountain or at Jerusalem, but in the spirit of her mind in agreement with the truth of God- his holy word. The worship of God is not dependent of a build, place, or man( as in religious leaders), but by a sincere mind towards God according to the scriptures( Acts 17:24,25).
This is also why we have always been warned by the prophets, Christ, and the apostles to seek out the truth and prove all things first with the Bible and not to believe everyone who call themselves ministers of God and Christ (Acts 17:11). If they are not in agreement with the teaching Bible, then have nothing to do with them- leave them alone, they are blind leaders of the blind per Christ( Matt. 15:13,14).
Furthermore, Paul, at the close of his ministery warned the people about the coming era of false preachers and wolves(greedy men) taking over the followers of Christ to build their own followings ( Acts 20:29,30,31). Even John wrote of these men calling them Anti-Christ, who claim to be Christians or disciples of Christ but are far remove from the teachings and doctrines of Christ ( 1 John 2:18,19). If they were truly the disciples of Christ they would have continued with the teachings of Christ and living as he commanded per John. But, instead they have established there own movements and doctrines, blending paganism with the Bible and using the Bible as a tool of oppression. These the Holy Spirit also called, through Paul, false apostles, the ministers of Satan, who pretend to be ministers of righteousness( 1 Cor. 11:13,14,15). And they shall be judged for their deceptions according to the scriptures.
We how desire to follow God in truth by His Son must use wisdom and not allow ourselves to be deceived or manipulated by any man, church, or school-just as Christ warned would come the last days(Matt.24:4,5). We must always assess them by what the scriptures say- comparing spiritual things with spiritual things(1 John 4:). If they speak or do not do according to the word of God, having nothing to do with them, say Isaiah (Is. 8:20). If their seed or teaching produce the worship of false gods disguise as Christ and the apostle, as in the Catholic and Protestant church traditions and holidays, or the encouragement to hating the nations that believe if the God of Israel because they are not of Israel, then you must distance yourself from them, because this is not what the scriptures says. Do not desire to worship with them or wish them God speed, for then you would be an accomplice to their errors( 2 Cor. 6:14-18, 2 John 1:10,11).
It is better to sit alone and wait for the hope of God in these last days, as the prophet Jeremiah did in the days of Israel's apostasy long ago ( Jer. 15: 16,17). He refused to follow the madness of the people, but instead held on to the Holy scripture, believing what God had said and taught him by His Holy Spirit. God will not leave of comfortless. He has promised to come to our rescue and deliver us for the darkness of the last days( John 14:18). He has promised to raise up His true prophets and teachers. And we will have to choose in that day who we will believe the prophecy of the Bible or the teachings of current world order (Rev. 7:3,4, Jer. 3:15, Rev. 14:6-12).

God of our Black Fathers
From the dawning of the light
over the mountains of Babylon
over the Euphrates
and
along the Jordan
we took our journey
following your light in the sky
You sent your terror before us
and warned them saying:
" ...Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm ( Ps. 105: 13,14,15)."
Kings quaked at our entrance at the gates,
dread filled their hearts and minds
because of the Hebrews:
mystic, the natural, a strange people, seers of the fourth dimension,
conversant with the God of the sky.

Off in distant lands
So far from home
away from their native land
Oh, Mary, dry your tears.
This bread of adversity wont be long
Look up to the sky

watch the star,
the one we've waited for
all these long years
Oh, Mother of our Black Messiah!

Get Ready
The world is changing. It is just as the scriptures said would happen. History is proving what God said would come to past ages ago, proving that He alone is God-revealing the end from the beginning. This alone should make us stop and take note and desire to draw closer to God, so that we may do what is pleasing in his sight and navigate the world and the times we find ourselves in.
But, as for the end of the times, that final day, he has kept the date and time to himself. Because it was never intended for man to know it precisely. God's desire was that we, through the demonstration of faith, would trust Him and do the work he gives each of us to do in our generation.
So then, it is for us to seek out and pursue our specific work that He gives us in our lifetime. This is done by drawing closer to God through daily reading and study of the holy scriptures coupled with constant prayer. Next you must self-examine and honestly ask yourself- what are my talents? And from all the models of saints I've seen in the scriptures, what most inspires me? How can my gifts and inspiration be applied at this time in my generation? You may be drawn towards healing or teaching the word of God, or you enjoy the disciple life of a soldier from your reading, pray and self-reflection. Thus, perhaps with pray you may want to pursue a path in medicine or integrative medicine- which is more aligned with the Biblical approach to healing that incorporates mind, body, and spirit with the use of whole foods, herbs, prayer, and changes in how one lives. Or you may consider the life of a minister in the awaking of the Israel of God, where you are responsible for the edifying, guiding and care for God's people. This work in the ministry takes the discipline of a soldier on your part to be able to preform it and endure the difficulties you will face in caring for the souls and minds of flock of God. But through self-examination, reading, and sincere prayer God will guide you to your unique path and calling.
Once your calling or work is discovered, the time of preparation will commence. Preparation is what makes us fit for the work God gives each of us to do. We must study, read deeply, gather the resources and instructors we may need to gain a deeper understanding of this calling. Also, preparation increase our confidence in executing the work with knowledge and skill. As part of our readying ourselves for our work, we must never forget to put God before all things by constantly reading his word, prayer, and hearing the word with fellow believers. This will help you stay connected with the spiritual purpose of your calling. God will give you fresh insight as you read and immerse yourself in things spiritual progressing you along on your journey.
I realize, especially for those seeking to be ministers, that we may want to bypass the preparation stages and get right into the work. But in order to do your work well and be a model of excellence, or perfection as the Bible calls it, the preparation stage is crucial. If we forgo it, we will be like many who only say but never do themselves. Like a doctor who counsels his patient not to smoke but yet he is a chain smoker or a preacher condemning sin, yet he is the biggest sinner away from the pulpit. These don't understand their office, nor the duty of effectively executing it. Also, neither to do they understand that their work was given them by God; to the intent that they may labor with God to do good. And this requires that they first must do what is right in order to lead by example. So then, if we are to face these changing times and meet the demands of our generation we must find our calling and prepare ourselves for the work God gives each of us to impact our times as lights in a dark place.

Champion
Some seek trophies
while others seek life eternal
Some seek glory in the eyes of the beholders
while others seek that praise
that speaks out of clouds
Some seek riches
while others deposit in that economically stable bank
Some seek crowns that rust
while others strive to receive the crown of life
Some are also-ran
while some are champions
Some are mere mortals
while others are immortals
Some build empires only to crumble
but Saints build souls that live forever- that city of God

Upward
We play in the open field,
below the waters above and the clouds,
under the light of the sun, like children
without care, where no time is, and the days seem endless,
and the nights are covered with a blanket of stars.
We gaze upwards and dream of what can be as our love grows.

And my heart is tied to yours.
To wait for you is not hard.
Summer fades into winter, but I will be here waiting.

Baby Girl
Who would have thought that you could have changed the
world?
But that’s just what you did, when you made love your
strongest quality.
Baby Girl
Poverty could not hold you back, lies couldn’t stop the true
beauty that was in you from shining.
You made us feel rich when you dressed us, fed us, and told
us, “Honey, you’re just as good, even better. The world just don’t know it yet.
But you go on out there and show them.”
Baby Girl
You stand tall among all the women of the world.
Hair like God, like the pure wool, natural, (
Braided, pressed and styled,
Crowned with the stars of heaven.
Baby Girl
You are blessed among women.
You changed the world.
From you kings and princes come, even the king of kings.
Why, even God himself calls you Princess( Gen. 17:15,16).

Now
I was once naïve.
I too thought the world was flat,
That all there was, was America.
She dominated my imagination from my youth.
Her stories of discovery, building new frontiers,
Conquerors, and great generals
Dazzled my mind.
I too was once naïve.
I believed this too was my home
Where I could roam,
Build, plant, any purse my every happiness.
I was once naïve.
But now my eyes were opened,
And now I know.
Oh, how the blue pill could have been my dream,
But I chose the red pill,
And the Metrix was exposed-
And now I see.
My blindness is gone.
The more I learned the more my sorrow increased.
Yet, I had hope, because He that opened my eyes had
Overcome the world.
And now, I too am an Overcomer.

Uprise
In the spirit
moving through the visible
and into the invisible
Entering the shadow of death,
where only a perpetual dusk exist
He opened my eye through the mist
around me was misery and all manner of horror
In the steep valley below the high mountain
many ten thousands gone
the hunter and all his prey
scattered people-
a diaspora
the hunter and his prey
Can he come up out of his grave?
God only knows.
Where is that good Spirit?
The one you told me about.
You remember? The one you said
would come, and cause my Uprising.
Revive us, in the midst of the years, O God, cause us to live again.
And in the time of trouble remember mercy.

The Greatest
The Bible is the greatest book ever written for several reasons. First, it is uniquely design to assist each and every human being in their growth and development into upright and productive individuals(2 Tim. 3:15,16,17). The result they achieve through disciple and obedience to God's instructions affects their lives and the lives of others around them positively- in the end good prevails(Eccl. 12:13). Secondly, it provides hope by explaining the reasons why things are the way they are and what's about to happen before it happens(Rom. 15:4). God uses the Bible to help build our faith in Him. Because by reading it we are not blind to the workings and operations of God; and through faith in the word the past, present, and future is revealed to us( Deut. 29:29, Is. 43:9) . So, as the prophecy comes to pass our faith grows as we see the written word coming into reality. Finally, this Book excels all other books, because the author is God himself. He also signed it by imprinting His very spirit into each and every letter so that the Book would be a living testimony of Himself for all His people(2 Peter 1:20,21). And to prove that the Bible is real, He caused it to be transformed into a living human being two thousand years ago, as prophesied throughout His Book, in the person of the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth- the King of Israel( John 1:1,14). And not only this, but to prove His word is eternal and ever-living, as He said it was, He raise Jesus back to life from the grave and set him in the holiest of holy places-next to Himself in heaven. And it is this same Jesus He has set to be the final judge of all men, both the living and the dead at the end of the world, as it is written( Acts 17:30,31). The Bible truly is without comparison among the millions and millions of books ever written(Eccl. 12:12,13,14).

Free
To be truly free is to live out the calling God has planned for you. Only when we walk in this path do we experience boundless opportunity, energy, and purpose in our lives.
To walk in your calling, whether it be to preach, to teach, to heal, or to build a family of godly men and women- who are destined to impact this world, is truly living. So then it is up to each of us to seek out what God has planned for our lives. This is done by prayer and self-reflection. And once you've found it be fearless and pursue it with all your mind and strength so that you may be free.

Time
Times
today, tomorrow, a month from now,
or even a year or two form now
time continues
New life comes and changes come
Old things fade into the past
like knowledge changing and growing
The ages move along the course set for it:
Babylon and Chaldeans
Ancient Persia with the Meeds
Alexander and the four generals
The eternal city of Rome-
forming and consuming, then collapsing
and reforming,
dividing into it's seven nations and ten kings
Time
Men sailing across the great oceans
bringing conquest, world economies, growth of cities,
birth of nations
and death of nations
and hiding and covering of a nation
The rich getting richer, power consolidating
Time
Men sailing to the stars
"million miles from reality"
Yet, all moving in the direction set by God.
"...Even so, come, Lord Jesus (Rev.22:20)"

Daughter of Abraham
In the education of our daughters we lay the foundations of a strong Hebrew community. She will be the support her husband will need and the mother her children will look to for love and direction. If educated well in the word of God and the use of knowledge and wisdom, both practical and spiritual, she will be able to provide the counsel and leadership skills needed to build a strong and successful family. By her confidence and practical application of the law of God, she will be able to take counsel with her husband, manage the affairs of the home, invest in enterprises that create wealth and social progression for her husband and children, and care for the poor in a spirit of love and meekness. These are traits that were revered in ancient Israel and admired in all nations. Women of this caliber are considered mothers of their nations and models that inspire both men and women to thrive for excellence (Proverbs 31:10-31).
This kind of ability in the use of the mind and strength of spirit is built by the love of a father and the wisdom of a mother along with the support of the elders of their families, who give guidance to help establish a strong family unit. This is what builds legacy and history, both of a family and a people.
And it all start with the tradition of reading and applying God's law found in the Bible throughout the family structure. The father being the head of family is directly responsible for his daughter's spiritual and mental development. He must, in a spirit of love, attention, and vision, execute a curriculum that will enable her to be a godly woman, a fit wife, a loving mother, and a vital member of her community. He must be wise in assuring that she receives the instructions she will need from her elders to be a head of household and to have the courage to lead her family. The father must instill this confidence in her by love, so that she may walk out the path God has set for her without doubt or fear. He is her first protector, teacher, and constant supporter. And she in obedience to the teachings of her father goes forward and builds her house with her husband.

Seeing
You opened my eyes
and the light came in
My understanding sharpened
I looked around and it all started to make sense
This world is both physical and spiritual
Seen and Unseen
Both working by Your power
to do your will
When I knew this I wanted to tell the world
like a new convert eager to speak-
Listen, I said, I found a way for me and you
to see beyond what is real,
beyond the flow of everyday,
beyond what we've been told
This is the true new world- come and see
They listened but did they all hear?
Then You asked me, "Did you hear? Are you truly hearing?"
So I stopped and think a little
And I asked myself are you seeing?
Are you hearing?
Are you living what He's saying?
Are you like them? Or are you fighting to go higher?
Do I just believe He exist? Or do I do as He says?
Have I attained perfection? Am I striving for godliness?
Because in the end He is coming to receive the godly.

New Leader
In our journey with Christ and through this physical world, we will be called to lead others and to be under leadership. This is because God, who rules in human history, establishes leaders and removes leaders to bring about his purpose. Therefore, if we are called to be leaders, we should seek to know and understand God's will for this office. And if we are called to be under leadership, we should recognize what a godly leader is and how we should follow.
The following points will help define the expectations of new leadership and what's expected of those under leadership according to God's word.
The new leader:
1 Maccabees 2:66-68
2 Tim. 2:1-2
1 Maccabees 3:1-2
Joshua Chapter 1
Titus 3:10,11
Daniel 4:37

Shalam,

The following points will help define the expectations of new leadership and what's expected of those under leadership according to God's word.
The new leader:
- Is brought into leadership due to God's change of time.
- He is deemed fit to succeed his predecessor, having similar abilities of the past leader.
- He holds to the vision and objectives established for the people by God, which the former leader pursued in his time.
- He is wise in developing his inner circle and gathering to him those from the former administration that are committed to the vision and objectives for the people
- He is aware that his most valuable support comes not from man, but his God, who has appointed him leader for this time.
- The leader with his entire team willing and cheerfully undertake the responsibility and challenges of obtaining the said objective or vision.
- He is a man of faith, knowing that God will never fail him, nor forsake him in his quest to achieve the vision.
- He is devoted to seeking God's teachings and direction by meditating on God's words day and night.
- He provides constant and clear communication to his officers, who are responsible for guiding the people under them. This chain of communication is strong and trustworthy-Leader, to officers, to people.
- He holds his officers accountable of their duties to the people. He expect all to be honorable in keeping their word, so that peace and trust flourishes.
- He teaches those he leads to always seek to do good to their fellowman- " do unto others as you would have them do unto you (Matt. 7:12)," is his mantra.
- He develops and select new leaders and officers who will be able to carry on the vision-he chooses other men of faith.
- They must be willing to support and follow the new leader
- They acknowledge the succession of leadership from the past leader to the new leader. They are resolved to follow him as they did the past leader. Because they know that true authority is given by God.
- They expect the new leader to be godly. He must be under the authority of the Lord God. And they desire this for him, so that his instruction and support may come from God.
- They know that the new leader is not above God and he is subject to God.
- They expect the new leader to be humble in his position of leadership, avoiding pride and abuse of his authority.
- The follower believe, according to God's word, that the success of the people depends on the uprightness of the new leader and his officers.
- The follower who refuses to be under the new leader or rejects his instructions, after the first and second corrections must be remove from among the people. For they will impede the success of the vision for the people. This tenet is supported by all the people.

The Bible
When we were brought into slavery as a nation on both sides of the Atlantic. Our enemies thought they had ended the history and hope of the Israelites by systematically eliminating our means of self-education and cultural preservation.
They did this by destroying our schools and universities, burning our places of worship, and the break up of our governmental institution and civic norms. They even separated us form our mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, and other close relatives to assure our isolation and inability to transfer any sense of familiarity and cultural continuance. Our enslavement seemed sealed before our oppressor and the nations of the world.
But to make certain of this, they introduce a process of reeducation. The slave holder, which included the highest levels of government, the clergy, the educator, the slave master and his family and staff, with the power of the police and military forces, began to teach the Hebrew slaves their new identity as property of the state and people. The government supported the slave masters methods of enslavement by enacting laws that insured the slave would be a slave for life such as, the fugitive salve act of 1850 and the supreme curt decision of Plessey vs. Ferguson in 1896. The school system began to teach and continues to teach that the Americas were populated by a nomadic people who cross the Bering Strait in the ice age and possessing no true culture or history until Christopher Columbus sailed across the Atlantic discovering them and naming them Indians. As for the Jews of Africa, the educators confessed that the were and are still ignorant of African history, calling it a "dark continent." Yet, they teach it was inhabited by savages who had, as above, no history or civilization worthy of recognition. The clergies of the many Christian denominations taught that the religion of the Indians was a religion of demon worship, cannibalism, and human sacrifice. As for the African, they stressed that their belief's were not much better than the Indians. To the church, they were witches, heathens, and devotees to superstitions. They even went further by changing the image of God, Christ, and the angles to make themselves appear as the people of the Holy Scriptures. The church twisted the scriptures to fit their system of oppression and taught it to the slaves. These, however, were all lies to justify their involvement in genocide and racketeering and to appease their guilty consciences. This body of institutions of oppression were confirmed and affirmed by the use of brute force, as exercised by the overseer on the plantations, the military in suppression of slave rebellions, and the use of a police state in the cities and communities of the descendants of the Hebrews today.
To some extent, the mindset desired by the oppressor has taken hold among the Hebrew slaves as they face the same challenges generation after generation. Nevertheless, what the oppressor fail to realize is that they were being used by God to fulfill His word written in the very Bible he was using in his churches. God had predicted ages ago, when He brought the children of Israel out of Egyptian slavery that because they would eventually sin against Him that He would scatter them into all nations. And among these nations they would find no peace but cruel oppression, with the last oppressor being the greatest of all. And this is because God would use him the bring evil to it's perfection. This last oppressor would be a master of intrigue, skilled in understanding times and seasons, a master of sciences and the arts of evil to the point of deceiving all nations. He would use his power to test and destroy the people of God and any who follow them regardless if they were Jews or not until the end comes. But, God blinded him to the truth of the scriptures and the fate awaiting him. He made him believe in his own power.
The oppressors clergy and religious institution also were deceived. They too believe that the Israelites were a people forgotten and cast off of God. What they failed to notice with all their study of the Bible, and in their schools of religious education, is that the word of God is not of this world. It is a spirit: it is a spiritual document. It is truth emanating from the Creator of the atom of the universe. It can not be measured, or categorized, or numbered, for it is a living breathing spirit. And His word was imprinted unto the hearts and minds of His people before the foundations of the world. It is a part of their DNA. It is the substance that cannot be seen, nor erased form any of them that belong to Him. The slave ship, the overseer's whip, the bullet of the police, nor the miseducation of the schools and churches, or the covert and overt government polices, not even death itself can remove it. The Word of God is love itself living in the people called by His name-His princes and princess: the Israel of God. This spiritual imprinting is triggered as soon as His people open the Book, and seek Him with all their heart, mind, and soul for themselves. It is a mnemonic device God has placed in them, that when they hear the word they turn to God again and follow Him.

Walking with God
To walk on the path of life, which is to walk with God, is a total commitment. It is a serious thing that will require you to understand what's expected of you from God. It is not enough to say you know Him, or follow Him, or that He is your God. It isn't even about attending a Sabbath gathering and hearing the teaching of the holy scriptures. All these thing appear righteous and good, but to walk with God is to completely dedicate your life to obeying Him as the scriptures have said.
This then is a life in which we strive to suppress or rule over our human desire to do what we want to do in order to achieve self-gratification. We strive against what the Bible calls sin- the act of breaking or disobeying God willfully. The Bible states if we know what is right and don't do it then it is sin( James 4:17). Therefore, to walk with God will require our willingness to always pursue what He says is just, equitable, and honest with ourselves and towards others.
We must also understand that because God is holy, He will not pardon willful sin. He is a God of justice and will not have partiality towards anyone that deliberately sins. He will hold such a person accountable(Heb. 10:26,27, 1 John 5:16,17).
However, God also understands, according the scriptures, that this way of life is not easy for a mortal man to do on his own or out of his own strength(Rom.3:23). Therefore, He provided tools and assistance to the sincere in heart who desire to walk with him(Col. 2:13-14). Our first weapon of defense is faith in the works of Christ our savior(Gal. 2:15,16). He took on the punishment of death for the sins of each of us and of our ancestors. His great works now allows us to seek after God or even to dare to follow Him, because the guilt of sin has been removed that would have prevented us in the past. Next, He provide a guide for us in the publication of the Holy Bible-past down form generation to generation. It fortifies the minds and souls of the believers by it's God inspired writings. It gives the believers the hope and power they need to make it through the days and the centuries, till the day God returns to establish the true order. Finally, God, provided a help for His followers, which He planted in them: the Holy Spirit. He made the Holy Spirit apart of our DNA, so that no matter what happens to us or the world around us, we would know for sure that He was, and is , and will be always by our sides until He comes to gather us up form across the globe(John 14:18).
To truly walk with God is a serious matter that takes self-discipline, courage, and a willingness to learn and grow as the Holy Spirit guides you through the Holy word. We, who believe and have take up this way, know the difficulty of the journey, but what glory is it to achieve greatness without a struggle? To be given a reward without any effort on your part is no reward. In the sports-world no team wins the championship without fighting for it. So too with all of us who have chosen the way of life, to walk with God. We resist and fight daily against the desire of willful sin. We pick ourselves up when we stumble out of ignorance, knowing that God understands our mortality and is merciful. We believe the word of God and continue on the journey even in the face of rejection, persecution, and covert operations to destroy and eliminate us from achieving the reward of our labors- that is the Kingdom of Heaven. Thus, we courageously obey God and strive to live a holy life before Him until he Returns(1 Cor. 15:57,58).
To the Faithful,

This then is a life in which we strive to suppress or rule over our human desire to do what we want to do in order to achieve self-gratification. We strive against what the Bible calls sin- the act of breaking or disobeying God willfully. The Bible states if we know what is right and don't do it then it is sin( James 4:17). Therefore, to walk with God will require our willingness to always pursue what He says is just, equitable, and honest with ourselves and towards others.
We must also understand that because God is holy, He will not pardon willful sin. He is a God of justice and will not have partiality towards anyone that deliberately sins. He will hold such a person accountable(Heb. 10:26,27, 1 John 5:16,17).
However, God also understands, according the scriptures, that this way of life is not easy for a mortal man to do on his own or out of his own strength(Rom.3:23). Therefore, He provided tools and assistance to the sincere in heart who desire to walk with him(Col. 2:13-14). Our first weapon of defense is faith in the works of Christ our savior(Gal. 2:15,16). He took on the punishment of death for the sins of each of us and of our ancestors. His great works now allows us to seek after God or even to dare to follow Him, because the guilt of sin has been removed that would have prevented us in the past. Next, He provide a guide for us in the publication of the Holy Bible-past down form generation to generation. It fortifies the minds and souls of the believers by it's God inspired writings. It gives the believers the hope and power they need to make it through the days and the centuries, till the day God returns to establish the true order. Finally, God, provided a help for His followers, which He planted in them: the Holy Spirit. He made the Holy Spirit apart of our DNA, so that no matter what happens to us or the world around us, we would know for sure that He was, and is , and will be always by our sides until He comes to gather us up form across the globe(John 14:18).
To truly walk with God is a serious matter that takes self-discipline, courage, and a willingness to learn and grow as the Holy Spirit guides you through the Holy word. We, who believe and have take up this way, know the difficulty of the journey, but what glory is it to achieve greatness without a struggle? To be given a reward without any effort on your part is no reward. In the sports-world no team wins the championship without fighting for it. So too with all of us who have chosen the way of life, to walk with God. We resist and fight daily against the desire of willful sin. We pick ourselves up when we stumble out of ignorance, knowing that God understands our mortality and is merciful. We believe the word of God and continue on the journey even in the face of rejection, persecution, and covert operations to destroy and eliminate us from achieving the reward of our labors- that is the Kingdom of Heaven. Thus, we courageously obey God and strive to live a holy life before Him until he Returns(1 Cor. 15:57,58).

Rededicate
To the saints,
Rededicate yourself again in your obedience to God with all your strength and mind. Recommit to keeping His holy word- fast truly, pray often, discipline your body and mind. And commit your life to the vision he gave you-walk in your unique calling( Rom. 12:5-8).
Don't bend His words, nor retreat from your vows -be true to Him and do what you said you would do. Our walk with God and Christ should not be pretend or just a show for others to see( 1 Tim 1:5).
Strive for the prize of the new birth by his holy word that was made flesh, which talked with us, and instructed us, and lived with us and died for us, whom God raise up again for us- for God's word can never die and His love for us is everlasting( Jer. 31.3). Let today be the day you turn back to Him with all your soul, so that your true light would shine in this dark world.
To all the Remnant of Israel and the Nations that make up the completed number of God's holy people, may God's face shine on us all.

Healer
You, O God, are my healer
Pain was on every side
in my body, my joints, my bowels,
and in my mind,
anguish and distress had overwhelmed me
My doctors couldn't heal me
the herbs gave no remedy
then I stopped and remembered
You said, " come unto me,
for I am meek and lowly, and learn of me,
and I will give you rest.. Matt. 11:28-29"
So, I prayed and you answered me.
Words for spiritual healing:
Ps. 103:1-5
1 Peter 2:24,25
Heb. 12:12-15
Is. 40:28-31
Luke 5:12-14

On this Journey
On this journey
We have but two choices
before us
On this journey
We enter in our times
to demonstrate the power
on our spiritual DNA
We, the ones who seek
after the source of all wisdom,
all truth, and all power
encapsulated in a boundless
aura of what can only be described as LOVE
On this journey
of endless dawning
and majestic sunsets
We walk on
in the calling
that echo's in our hearts
and in the dusky mist
His voices echo's
"...I am with you always, even unto the end of the world (Matt.28:20)."
We who are of the day and not of the night
have made our choice
On this journey
We have chosen the hope of God and the Faith of Christ,
And the other we have walked past and have not loved this world.
To all the faithful Brothers and Sisters, sincere Teachers and Elders, Mothers and Fathers, to the faithful who hope in the truth- this is dedicated to you.

Small
Despise me not because I am small
in the little things is often the beginnings of
great things: power and much good( 1 Cor. 1:26,27,28).
The proud and the high and lifted up
shall be brought down to the ground
and the lowly lifted up
"... The first shall be last, and the last shall be first.. Matt. 20:16"

In uncertain times
When we are faced with uncertainty it is easy to doubt or fade into silence. But to us who hold unto the hope of Christ by the grace of Yahawah our Father, uncertainty does not last long, nor does it dominate our thinking. Our faith causes us to hold on to the prophecies even in unstable times.
David, when writing in the spirit, stated, " Yeah,though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil(Ps. 23: 4)". And again, He says, "A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee...Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation(Ps. 91:7,9)." This kind of sure confidence in the midst of great evil and impending doom is only found where great faith abides.
Faith is the source of our strength and the anchor of our fortitude in any and all challenges. Paul, when speaking to the first century Hebrew Israelite followers of Yahawashi, defined faith as, " the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen( Heb. 11:1)." Faith, then, is the spirit and witness of what we believe God has promised them that trust in Him and wait for Him to bring to past what he says he will do- to be a shield for us against all our enemies, both spiritual and physical, and to establish His holy empire on earth and throughout the universe. Faith will show all the world that what we believe God for was not in vain on the most holy of days- the crowing of Christ in Jerusalem at the end of the wars.
Finally, if you and I intend to face today's uncertain times with the courage of our ancestors, who believed in God and Christ, then we must always remember how we obtain and grow our faith. This is done by constant reading of the holy scriptures; for Faith "comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God(Romans 10:17)." And again, " Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path(Ps.119:105", and this too, " blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy( Rev.1:3)." We are always encouraged by God and His holy prophets to cleave to the holy scriptures for our hope and faith in God.
And after we have read the Bible and continue to read the Bible, God wants us to apply and follow the teachings and examples written in it- " For not the hearers of the law( the holy Bible) are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified( Rom. 2:13)."
Bothers and sisters, this is the challenge of our generation; will we give ear to what God is saying and like Noah and Abraham in their generation obeyed God and did as he commanded them to do? Do not let the terror of the Beast or the angels of the devil frighten you or cause you to forget the promise and hope of God to come through Christ our King.
Shalam,
David Zarach
Pray for all the believers and for the house of Israel as we move forward to the coming of Yahawshi:
Remember Venezuela, Haiti, Honduras, Indian Reservations throughout North America,
the violence of the inner-cities of Black America, and all the uncertainty we face daily.
