Dysfunctional Families

Dysfunctional Families

It has been said that church hurt is the worst hurt. Well, I beg to differ. We don't give credence to this matter as we should. I believe family hurt is actually equal to or worst than church hurt. If we say that blood is thicker than water, why won't that thickness cement the family unit? Should family members degrade their very own? Should families participate in phony behavior? Should families engage in malicious talk? Should families exhibit buffoonery conduct? Should families expose each other's current or past struggles? Should families neglect to support you when your doing something positive as opposed to supporting debauchery's? If any of these can be found in your family, it is indicative of dysfunction.

Dysfunction can be seen as a generational curse or cycle of culture or habit. These dysfunctions occur when no one in the family has confronted or challenged this spirit. We all should look deep into our family and conduct a introspection.

More than any other entity, the family unit is where love is most absent. Families normally talk a good game. However, out of sight, the rise of persecution is displayed!! Dysfunction prevents the family unit from functioning closely; with unity and authenticity. This is in no way modern. The Bible refers to several families with dysfunction. This dysfunction created years of strife, turmoil, murder, etc. Incest, murder, homosexuality, divorce, adultery, poverty, criminality, and anger are a few of the many inherited dysfunctions we encounter in our families. Anyone who can ruin the reputation of their own father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, and any other family member is a treacherous person. If this person will do this to family, that person will do that to you. Be on the look out for these type people. The people are dealing with rejection, bitterness, and unforgiveness. These traits are suppressed in an inconspicuous manner.

I know now more than ever why Jesus stated that some of us will have to give up family in Luke 18:29. Personally speaking, whether it’s family or friends, I will distance myself from any type of of dysfunction. Not that I am better than anyone else. It is simply not healthy and dysfunction breeds!

The bible says that Jesus came to His own and His own received Him not. Your own will be the very ones who reject and deny who you are. I pray that families will stop covering up these inherited dysfunctions and let the power of Jesus bring true deliverance.

Rasicm At The Highest

This presidential election has revealed racism at its highest. The racial rhetoric that is spewing is no longer unbelievable, it's believable. The Trump supporters have stated violence will erupt if he is not elected. Donald Trump has incited violence, racism, and bigotry, just to name a few. I'm concerned about how a man can make America great as the president but could not make it great as business tycoon. The same African Americans he is attempting to persuade are those he discriminated against by having them put a 'C' on applications to signify their color and prevent them from living on his property. He initiated the birther movement to delegitimize the first African American president. His notion to promote 'Law and Order' is a disguise to take us back to the Jim Crow era. Keep in mind, Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler,  Joseph Stalin, etc. also promoted Law and Order. Those who are in favor of the Law and Order phraseology must understand that this is part of the plan for the government to control the everyday life of citizens.

May I refer you to the Georgia Guidestones? Laws, at times, are created to stifle, suspend, and suppress individuals. We have seen this throughout the history of America. It was a law that put Daniel in the lion's den. It was a law that caused the building of the Temple to cease. It was a law that restricted blacks from reading and voting. It was a law that crucified Jesus!

America can only become great when America returns  to the foundation and principles of Jesus Christ. Donald Trump will lead this country to a abyss of hell. I am not down with Hilary Clinton either. She herself has classified African Americans as super predators. Her position is to attack churches that do not support the LGBT agenda. What is it that any would want to lead a diverse Nation with racial tendencies? Our land needs to be healed from a moral, mental, economic and physical sickness. When Israel asked for a king, God provided details of the type of King they would be given. Pay attention closely to the details that are being provided and you will know the type of President we will have.

Please vote!!!!! However, do so with knowledge of who and what you are voting for. Beyond the hype we have a lot to lose if the wrong candidate gets in office. My prayer is that emerging leaders will arise to promote the agenda of Jesus Christ in the Earth realm. Jesus is still the answer for the world today!!

"Disorderly Conduct"

It is so imperative to call out this 'disorderly conduct' being portrayed by leaders/people. In an attempt to manipulate people from those to whom they are connected due to jealousy. Jealousy is cruel as the grave! It will stop at nothing until it has destroyed friendships, covenants, ministries, etc. Leaders/people exhibit this type of behavior  when they are inundated with immaturity and childishness. How dare some consider you not good for people based on what you went through? Have these people forgotten who they were and what they did?

Perpetuating an agenda to destroy someone else's character shows how vicious and treacherous that person is. These cowards have secret meetings to discus you as opposed to confronting you. These types are also bitter, broken, hateful and full of poison. People need deliverance!! Double talking people are dangerous. Trusting them will eventually hurt you.

Christ or Claus?

Christ or Claus?

Although we know the 25th of December is not Jesus' birthday, it is a day set aside to acknowledge the birth of a Savior and Redeemer. This day should be centered around reflecting on God's plan of salvation. I am appalled of the countless churches deciding not to have worship on that day. If this day is honestly about Christ, wouldn't we be passionate about expressing high praises? It is a repeat like the people who chose Barabbas over Jesus. Is it that people really esteem Claus over Christ? Claus is a mystical fairytale. This fairytale have trap many into a system that depletes them economically, drains them mentally, detours them from principals that build self to building a lie, and distance them for the Messiah. He liberates from all false doctrines and false systems. This Christmas tactic is a well orchestrated lie.

I appeal to all to accept Christ. Not the Christ they gave us. The true Christ who revolutionized lives. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. So as we choose Christ, we agree that God was manifested in the flesh to reconcile the world to Him.

Leave these pagan holidays alone. Save your money to build family and self along with the Kingdom of God. In closing, any church who shuts its doors on a day that should be centered around Christ is completely wrong!

Exposing Pharaoh

As we celebrate Black History Month, let us recall when Pharaoh let the children of Israel go. Things transpired. Pharaoh went after the children of Israel like most oppressors do when they desire to remain in a position to control the oppressed. The minds of the children of Israel wanted to revert back to the same oppressor who had seized their life. As I look at where we are now in our society, I see the same tactic being imposed. The modern day Pharaoh does not want to lose control; those captured are beneficial to him. The oppressed build his palaces, work for free, make his economy prosper while they themselves experience poverty. The oppressed are tortured, abused, murdered, and raped with no rights or say so. They socially engineer the oppressed; causing them to turn on each other.

Who is the modern day Pharaoh? The criminal justice system, those in political power, and systemic procedures created to control the weak, the poor, and the impoverished. Yet they ask “Is racism still here?” Indeed it is! Those who ask such a nonsensical question represent those who rape and abuse women, then threaten them to keep quiet.

Should the abused be quite? African-Americans have been raped, abused, and molested. These vile atrocities occur at the hands of a system that uses its weight to take the dignity, innocence, and spirit of God's people. It never departed! it took on a new identity; disguising its true intent and purpose. It disguises itself in the following terms: “I'm not racist”, “I'm not responsible for racism”, “I love everybody”, “I have black friends”, etc.  Pharaoh is really a coward who hides behind military might and laws. So why do the oppressed return to the oppressor? The saying is true! Oppressing the righteous makes it easier to bribe them!!

Have the oppressed taken the bait of the oppressor? Here is the bait! “You can never make it without me”; “You will always return due to the oppressor having the resources and revenue”. The oppressor has manipulated the oppressed into thinking they can't do anything for themselves. When will the oppressed wake up and detach themselves from the habits, custom, mannerisms, culture, and traits of the oppressor?

Some ask the question, “Why is there a need for Black History Month?” Because the contributions made by African-Americans in the development, advancement, and sustainment of not only our country but our world should and must be celebrated. If African-Americans are really lazy, as it has been noted, our world today would not be in existence. I pray that this new generation of  African-Americans will embrace the torch and run as catalyst for change. With a plethora of injustice and inequality still prevalent in society today, who will go to Pharaoh and speak truth to power?
