The prophecy

 Dueturonomy the 30th chapter is summary of our ( Israel) triumph and our fall. It states that when the blessings (our deliverance from slavery in Eygpt, the giving of the law and the covenant with the universal God, Yahawah, our conquest of Canaan, the Davidic kingdom, Solomon and the temple of God, and all the promises and hope pronounced by the prophets of God) and curses ( the major captivities under Assyria, Babylon,  Persia-median empire, Greek and Roman empires, and worldwide dispersion and loss of our national identity as Israelites) have come upon us and we recall these things in the lands of our captivity with obedience once again the Yahawah, that then God would come to deliver us again as he did in Eygpt. 

But, for this to happen for each of us we must have faith in the prophecy, in the word of God and  His Messiah- the black Jesus that our ancestors painted throughout Africa, the middle east, and who the Europeans first worshipped  when they converted to the faith. 

Faith is our greatest struggle; to trust God, to put all our confidence and hope in the things he told us through the prophets, the Messiah and his first apostles. If we would just believe the truth and not look back to this wicked world like Lot's wife, then we too will be able to partake of this prophecy writen in Dueturonomy 30. 

The truth of God is not hidden from us, nor is it beyond the sea, or high above the clouds.It's right here, so very close to all of us, if we would only believe and seek the one true God, the lord God Almighty in the holy book he gave to us.

Let us be that next generation that will do what the prophet said-  " Seek ye out of the book of the Lord and read... Is. 34:16", and glorify the living God, showing to all nations that He is.

My Pen

 I pick up my pen that you put in my hand, recording the story of us for us, to give you all the glory and praise. 

Let the enemy shiver and be move to confusion and fall off his  chair when he hears the words of this scroll. For, a man has come for the welfare of Israel; to open their graves, to unlock the prisons, opening the doors, and for breaking down the gates of the enemies, establishing the kingdom of the sons of God; declaring our redemption, the day of our salvation, the year of our Lord and the vengeance of His temple. 

The pen is mightier than the sword. The words that I write are spirits and they are life. Let all who have ears hear; stop and listen, the truth is here.

Write it in a book for the times to come. He shall never forsake his flock, nor reject his bride,  or leave his kingdom to another. O, Yahawah, you are our power.

Cause your light to shine on us, O, Lord. 

Let the heathen know that you alone art God.

Let the scriptures be fulfilled. 

Open the gates and let the saints come in.

-Amen

The true battle

 To know and follow your calling from the Most high is the true battle. The daily trials on the jobs, at home and our other interactions with the world are mere tools of learning for our journey-but this is not the true battle. 

The true battle is the work God has given us to finish,  to be obedient to Him,  to love the brotherhood, to live honestly among a crooked and perverse nation, to strive to be at peace with all men, to contribute to the gathering of the twelve tribes of Israel , and bring his people into the flock from among the nations that are His by Christ. 

The work of God takes consistent labor and the war of communal and individual prayer and labor  to complete it. In this work, as in other daily exercises, you cannot take your eyes off the final destination,  no matterhow hard it gets. until  work is done- until your journey is completed. 

Strong heart, brothers!

Counselor

 "If  you seek God, you will find him," stated the Messiah Yahawahshi. It is through our sincere request and active search that we come upon the jewels of the life giving Wisdom of God in the holy scriptures. Yet, there are many paths one can choose to seek wisdom and counsel in the midst of the storms of life. The counsel of great men, wise teachers, honored elders are all options. But, if they drink not from the pure fountain of life that flows from the God inspire holy scriptures, then they only  pave roads that lead back to the same unanswered questions we started with. 

And how do we seek out the wisdom and understanding found in the holy writ for true counsel and direction? We cannot will to know it, nor can the arts of academics uncover this source of illumination.  It comes only at the complete surrender of ourselves to God. It comes with the realization that "I can not," that "I do not know," that " I do not complete myself by myself." It comes by knowing and accepting that it is God alone that directs my heart unto the living water of truth.

Spiritual walk

 To walk in a spiritual  way means that every moment of our lives is captured by this desire. To live a spiritual  life means that all your thoughts, all your words, and all your actions are filtered by the spirit of God or the word of God; nothing is taken for granted, but is subject to the word of God.

Your daily life is the sum of your spirit-man or spiritual life: the inner man. What we do and say will eventually cement our character and our very essence. It will define our identity.  Therefore, great thought and contemplation must be placed on the choices we make in order to reach the ability to walk in the spirit and stay in the spirit. This is the life of the mind.

To help us achieve this spiritual life, God has left us a Book of instructions to guide our steps in our life's journey: the Bible.  In it are laws, judgements, wisdom, counsel, prophecies, and examples of men and women, both holy and wicked,  to reflect on and gain insight into what works and what doesn't work for one seeking to live the ascetic life and to walk in the spirit of God. 

If these instructions and laws are applied, eventually it will lead to a life well lived coupled with the hope of immortality, which God has promised to all his faithful followers who choose His path or way. And the end of this law is faith in God through his son, Christ, the Lord. In him we find completeness, wholeness,  and hope on our journey. 

To walk in the spirit then, is a choice we must make everyday, while denying the desires do the very opposite of living a life without God or His word. The ability to have this choice is part of being human or a son of Adam-we can choose to do what is upright or we can choose to do what is evil.  The choice of evil, however, leads to destruction. Thus, to overcome evil and achieve the blessings of God, we must follow the instructions of Christ, who is the end of this faith and walk with God, and do what he has said- "If any man will come after me(follow my example), let him deny himself,  and take up his cross (the constant struggle to do good in the midst of evil and temptations), and follow me ( keep God's commands as he did)Matt. 16:24, John 14:31."

To walk in the spirit VS. the flesh:

Romans 8:1-17, Galatians 5:16-25

Follow me...Matthew 4:19

Israel

I've wondered up and down this world,

traveling to the north and to the south, 

out west and back east again in search of you:

hoping to find true love.

I've tried to capture and subdue that empty feeling I have, because your not in my life, with the earthy concept of love, by tuning into love songs, and gazing at romantic motion pictures,  and the dreamy fantasies they portrayed, where the boy meets the girl of his dreams and she has that same dream too, and in the end they fall in love and live happily ever after.

But, it never ends like that for me with what I found so far. Because none of these things compare to you. They can't fill the void of my empty heart, or meet the expectations of love that I have of you; nor even spark the feelings that I have when I think of you.

I've searched for a love like yours over oceans, and traveled through strange lands to find you again. But, all I found was disappointments and users, and those that are seekers of their own gains and not true love. 

O that His light would shine on me and guide my path to you, Israel. The place where true love lives and God inhabits'. Only If He would shepherd me to you, then I would find you and I would make my abode with you. I would hold you in my arms with all my strength and never leave you.

In finding you and returning to you, it would be like coming home when you've been gone for a long, long time, or lost at sea to finally drift ashore upon your native land. With you, O Israel, I'm home forevermore; I'm where I belong, where joy, true love, and God dwells for eternity. 

Jeremiah 22:10

The key

 The mind

The soul

The inner eye

That place that we come face to face with 

Ourselves 

Where honesty looks back at us

And we can't run or hide from it

All we can do is embrace it

who we are, with all our flaws and imperfections 

To accept it, is to come to the next elevation

Like the clouds in the blue sky

Or the moon in its glow as evening begins to set in

We are like the stars; We shine forever 

In truth

We are His creation (Eph.2:8,9,10)

And everyday we move closer to perfection.
