Hear Me from the Dungeon -#3

Give us a heart to return to you, O LORD
open our eyes once again
Restore the Hope of your Salvation
Come and Rescue us from all our deserts
Bring tidings of Good
proclaim peace in all the Earth
Remove the oppressor
Help the fatherless and the widow
the old and the young
the weak and needy people
Will you not Restore the kingdom to Israel?
cause wars to cease from one end of earth to the other
Set the tribes in order and gather your sheep
We have always been your people
We are your Witnesses
Who have Loved you as we have?


Shalam,

Nameless -#2

The wicked grin, the simple rejoice
and those that hate us clap their hands and laugh
at our Missouri
babies are born and souls depart
yet, the lies and hate they remain and fuel the fire
they blast my heart more and more
none say restore
No one knows our name in the streets
Remember, O Lord, what is become of us
the residue of your people
Will you not have compassion on Zion
We are scattered, our strength is spent,
Our Hope is lost, and We faint
Come, rescue us from the hand of them that are stronger than us
Send forth the Deliverer once again
Restore the heart of your people
set the Captives free
Open the doors of our prison
Rise us from our Graves

That men may know that
there is a GOD in Israel
whose name alone is YAHAWAH
and they are but mere mortals


Shalam,

Zion Cries Out - #1

My heart is moved
at yet another passing
people leave this world and go to the next
we know the ancient sentence that says,
" you shall die the death"
yet my heart is moved
at the exit of the breath of life
Truth and justice they fall in the streets
there is no compassion for his sheep
none to morn our loss
who will cry for us
our elders have given up the ghost
and our mighty-men die in foreign lands
but who really cares
our shepherds are all as if asleep
none say restore
they blast my heart more and more


Shalam,

I am an Israelite, Now What?

When we come back to the knowledge of our true selves there is first joy. The joy that comes from discovering something unique and fascinating about yourself and the world around you. This is how I felt when my eyes were first opened to the fact that the people, my people, who are called Blacks and American Indians are the biblical Israelites. It fascinated me that I and my people shared in this great heritage. It was truly a revelation. However, as the years went on and I studies and learned more about our heritage I began to see a pattern among us-the newly awaken. We, like most, new converts became more in love with the idea of belonging verses being.
There's a difference between the two. The first is focused on the fact that the person is now apart of something: a new movement. The excitement of the crowd can easily take you into many directions. You begin to focus on this class or that holy day or that teacher. You start to do what you see everyone else doing, because you believe it's what you do when you belong to the group. One can easily take things at face value and miss the deeper meaning of the matter with this type of mindset. Who we should truly be following and what we should be doing can be lost if we focus only on belonging.
But Being is quite another road. To be requires sincerity, a complete lack of duplicity. In reference to being an Israelite, Yahawashi or Christ, said it best, "... an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.( John 1:47)  " To be an Israelite then is to live a life that is govern not by the crowd or the particular branch of Israelites you happen to be apart of, but by every word that proceeds from the Father-Yahawah. An Israelite is one who walks in integrity towards God. It is a life devoted to the Holy scripture-one of obedience and sincerity to God. An Israelite is not one outwardly first, but one inwardly foremost, as the apostle Paul has stated in the book of Romans( Rom. 2:29).
The true journey of discovery begins when we seek an inward change through the process Christ calls " to be Born Again"( John3:3). This phrase was adopted and had become widely popular by the Christian Evangelical movement of the 1970's and 80's. It is still in common use among them today. However, what I'm speaking of is different from this movement's definition of being born again. Their general concept of being born again focuses on the conversion experience, where the new believer accepts Jesus into his or her heart, as they say, and becomes a new creature in Christ. Their old self is gone and now only Christ remains. This usually occurs in minutes at the alter as the new believer confesses his allegiance to Christ.  In general this is the extent of the new believers understanding of being born again. His new life is one of going to church and being among other born again believers. The focus here also is on belonging rather than being.
The Born again concept I'm referring to that the Israelite should strive for is one of personal transformation through the application of the incorruptible word of God(1 Pet.1:23). It is a learning process in which one, through diligent study of the scriptures begins to learn and do the things that pleases God. To be born again calls for the transformation of the mind from what it was before-the product of this corrupt world system, to a holy mindset based on the Bible. Born again is the renewal of our minds and not a conversion experience or belonging to a particular group( Rom 12:2).
When we, the newly awaken Israelites, are born again our minds are not only changed by understanding our ancient and modern history form a biblical perspective, but we also recognize the responsibility God has given us in representing Him in truth and righteousness. In truth because he has been faithful in his word and promises to us-that he would never forsake us, or leave us comfortless no matter how far we may be form Zion( John 14:18). For example, God prophesied in his word that we would go into captivity for our sins, but that he would redeem us and restore us once again in the last days( Deut. 30:1-3). And God in faithfulness to his word is fulfilling this before our eyes today in the resurrection of his holy people Israel, as they return to Him. And we can represent God in righteousness, because our righteousness is from God and not of ourselves. It is derived from the fact that he sent his only son Yahawashi, who in our English translation of the Bible is called Jesus, to grant us forgiveness of sins and salvation (Acts 5:30-31). And it is God that has seal our hope in Christ in that he rose Christ to life again on the third day after he gave his life for us-his holy flock. Therefore, because we know, believe, and hope in these things, we strive to please the Father and Christ by walking in obedience to the word of God. We forsake the evil that is in the world and the sin nature that is in us by the everlasting power of God, which transforms our mindset to a holy mindset. This then is how we are Born Again. An Israelite that is truly born again shines like a light in the midst of darkness among all the people they find themselves among today because they walk in the truth and righteousness of God.
Also, once we come to the true knowledge and understanding of ourselves, we should, and desire to, share the Hope that God has given us with others. This hope is the Faith that we have in the word of God that brings us back to the right order of having God as our Father and Christ as our king now and in New Jerusalem. It is the Hope of forgiveness of sins, the salvation of God, and the peace of God that is obtained through faith and obedience to God
Our first duty in sharing, according to Christ, is to our fellow Israelites- who are lost to the truth written in  God's word due to our captivity, oppression, and forced ignorance( Matt. 10:6, Rom 1:16). A key reason for this first duty is that it is natural to love your countrymen, God has put this in every man's heart. It's called self-love. And we, whom God has awaken, should love our fellow Israelites, and desire to see them receive the blessings of God as we have. The other reason for sharing this hope, which is also an Israelite's second duty, is that the Bible prophecy's that the Israelites were chosen of God to be a blessing to all nations( Gen 12:3). We were chosen to be the priest and teachers to the nations to show them the way of righteousness and the faith of God that leads to Christ, that they may also hope in the salvation of God(Acts 26:17-18). Furthermore, we were called by God to be his witness throughout the earth for all generations ( Is. 43:9-10).  Even Christ stated that Salvation is through the Jews or Israelites( John 4:22).  The nations will receive mercy and grace from God through His witnesses; the children of Israel that are with Christ. Because they were sent by God to preach His message throughout the earth ( Rom. 10:14-15).
What we are witnessing today with the reemergence of the descendants of the ancient Israelites here in the Americas and other parts of the world is a fulfilling of prophesy in preparation for the second coming of Christ. They are being risen up again in order to teach the gospel as it is written that the faithful among the Israelites and the nations may turn to God in truth and understanding (Is 60:2-3).The New Testament has commissioned us, the children of Israel, both in the gospels and the book of Revelation, with the work of preaching the gospel ( God's message or word), as it is written in the Bible, in it's entirety to the whole earth, that all humanity may know God's truth(Acts 1:6-8, Rev. 14:1-3). For it is through them that the final gathering of the Body of Christ will occur before the last judgment (Zech. 8:23).
To be an Israelite, then, is an honor and a responsibility. It is an honor because of the grace and kindness God has demonstrated to us throughout the ages to this very time we are now living in. It is an honor to be counted among the saints and illustrious men and women of God. But, we today can not be content with just belonging to this body of heroes, who faithfully served the everlasting God. Nor can we be satisfied with the emotions of reawakening to our true identity. We must seek to be, and not just to belong. We must be truly born again by the renewing of our minds through the knowledge and understanding of the holy scriptures of God who created us. We must seek God daily through His word that we may gain the understanding of his will and the courage to obey it( Eph. 3:4). And after we have done this for ourselves, we then have the responsibility to go out into all the world and share God's good news. Only then will we be an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.


Shalam,


May God be with you always, may His light shine on you and those with you, till we meet as One.

Integrity Part 2

Integrity Continued...

 

Furthermore, God teaches us through his word to be single minded and steadfast on the path he has set us on. In the book of Proverbs, He instructs us to stay focus on the task ahead of us, to keep our perspective straight before us (Prov. 4:25). We should avoid double mindedness and wavering. We should not look to the world or alternative paths to try to get to the end of our course. Consider well, God warns, the direction you are heading in. Brethren, you should think about where you are going and ask yourself the following questions- Am I abiding with Christ? Even in temptations and persecutions? Am I keeping the commandments of God in all circumstances? Is my allegiance somewhere else besides the things of God? Am I vacillating between two paths-my own fears and doubt, the world systems? Or am I doing what God is calling me to do?

The Bible teaches us that we should strive for soundness or wholeness( to abide Faithful with God) in all our ways that they may be established-to be successful (Prov. 4:26). This type of pure soundness or true integrity will help us to fulfill all our commitments in all areas of this life God has given us. It will help us to cope effectively when disappointments come because our trust in God is in nowise compromised. For the storms of life will come, according to Christ. However, those whose faith is whole or sound will be able to withstand them ( Matt. 7:24-25). The best way to build one's Faith, which directly impacts his or her integrity is conformity with the holy scriptures. This means to abstain from all evil and avoid extremes to the right or left ( Prov. 4:27). In other words, we should keep and do God's laws, which teaches us what is good and what the evil is to avoid. We should adhere to the instructs the Bible gives us to create a balance in our lives; not to go to any extreme, either good or bad. Because both can cause us to fall ( Eccl. 7:16-17). The correct balance we should strive for is to keep God's commandment and instruction the way he said we should. The Bible will always shows us the right path that leads to faith, holiness, and true integrity in God. It will strengthens us so that our faith is undivided.

Jesus, himself, gives us the final word concerning integrity. He states in the book of Revelation that he knows our works-he knows our thoughts and actions (Rev.3:15). He is conscious of those among the believers whose works are neither cold nor hot. These have a faith that sways to the right and left. They are not completely without God, nor are they completely with God. Their integrity is incomplete. Christ, like Joshua's final exhortation before the Israelites (Joshua 24:14-15), urges those lacking in integrity to choose the path they will walk on- either with this world or with God(to be cold or hot). And this he does, because the lukewarm, those that are neither cold or hot, will be caste away from him as a consequence for lack of integrity (Rev.3:16). They shall receive nothing from the Lord, neither his blessings or his Kingdom.

But, Jesus, being a true and merciful savior, who understands our weakness and inconsistencies along with our potential, also urges us to be zealous and repent from this state of double mindedness. He states, “ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten (Rev. 3:19).” He gives us an opportunity to change if we find ourselves fluctuating like this because of his love for us. It is a demonstration of his mercy and grace when we err from the path. But, to take advantage of this favor of repentance, we have the responsibility of self-examination. We must constantly assess whether we are on the right path or going astray (2 Cor 13:5). This is why we, who hold to the faith in true integrity and sincerity of heart Love him, because he first loved us ( John 15:13, John 10:15,17, 1 John 4:9). And we know that when we are going astray, he will calls us back to the right path because of his love for us( 1 Peter 2:25).

Remember, brethren, his instructions and corrections are for our benefit ( Heb.12:6-7,11). It teaches us how we may truly live, being perfect and whole without spot or blemish before God in true integrity. By his word our stability in God will never be questioned. Our integrity in the scriptures shall sustain us on the road to Zion: the City of God.

It is done:

Revelation 21:5-8

May God bless you and keep you, till we meet again

Integrity Part 1

Greetings, Brothers and sisters:

I pray your strength and hope in our God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ continues to grow. I hope you are continuing on your journey with all the faithful to the City of God: New Jerusalem.

I would like to share with you a revelation I received while studying the holy scriptures. It is about integrity; the state of being undivided in our adherence to the teachings and commandments of the Lord.

Let us start by examining the scriptures. James, the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ, states in James 1:8 that a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. This type of man is not entirely convinced in the things he professes to be about, nor what he asked the Lord for. His integrity is not whole. He doubts. He is unsure. He lacks conviction. And this state of instability infects all areas of his life. It affects his family life, finances, friendships, career, physical health and wellness. But, above all, this lack of integrity makes his faith in Christ unfinished and lacking in the strength needed to endure until he accomplishes his work or endeavors in the things of God. True integrity requires one to be undivided and stable in the path God has chosen for him to walk on.

Integrity then, begins with faith in God. Faith is the building block that brings us to wholeness or true integrity. Faith defined is the ability to hope in the unseen and to act on the evidence recorded in the holy scriptures (Heb. 11:1). To be able to do this one must have integrity. Because without a sincere or complete integrity which develops our faith in God, we can never please God, neither can we expect to receive his rewards for seeking him ( Heb. 11:6). For example, we are counseled by James to pray in faith without wavering (James 1:6). This is because the man that wavers fluctuates in his opinions and the direction he is trying to reach. Again, his integrity is not whole-he doubts. James further states that this man is like the waves of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. The person with this type of disposition, according to James, will not receive anything from the Lord (James 1:7). He that wavers is not perfect in his faith in God, nor does he believe God is able to do what he said he would do-Jesus said, “all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive (Matt. 21:22).” But this type of man lacks the conviction to believe that God is able to reward those that diligently seek him as stated in the word of God.

Our integrity, brothers and sisters, is strengthen and grows each time our faith is tested or challenged. This is especially true when we abide in the things we are taught of by the word of God without doubt or wavering in true integrity. The act of faithful prayer is just one opportunity we have to help us develop our integrity, that will influence our faith and all other areas of our lives.

May God bless you and keep you, till we meet again
