What I learned this Summer in Jamaica WI.

This year in April 2013... I attend the funeral of my children's father. We were able by the mercy of God, to pray for reconciliation, healing and some deliverance, to a family that was torn apart, and hurting from many wounds. This miracle brought about a desire to revisit Jamaica like a tourist. After being away for 24 years, I was able to reconnect with many brethren who I knew as an early Christian in the 1960's, and also as fellow students in XLCR High school. .

 I turned 60 this past December. (12/22/2012) it was predicted to be the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar. So, I decided to follow the suggestion of a beloved friend who encouraged me, to focus on things I would like to do, to start taking better care of myself. Well, God must have wanted to show me as my Father, that He would give me the desires of my heart. So, after the funeral in April, I had a desire to rediscover my roots, but I did not know how I would do this. So I prayed that if God wished for me to visit Jamaica as a tourist, He would have someone invite me to visit.

To my amazement, within two weeks of that prayer, I received an E-mail inviting me to Jamaica with no strings attached. I was given an open welcome, to come as a tourist, to be treated as a daughter of the King. 

My vacation to Jamaica was made possibly by a sister in the Lord, who in obedience to Holy Spirit, invited me to come and spend my summer vacation with her. I accepted her invitation right away, as I recognized this was an answer to my bucket list of prayer requests.

The first lesson I learned from my many hand of God interventions, and God moments in Jamaica: is that God is always giving. in order to help someone experience God’s unconditional love, the Christian has to be willing to give of their resources the 3T’s (time, talents, & treasures) Our God  gives to every believer, treasures, gifts and talents with fruits of His Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace gentleness, goodness, faith, self control, meekness (which is the ability to restrain ones power over others. Jesus did that continually, even with the devil ) and long suffering. It is only by Holy Spirit’s power that these fruits will be evident in each believer, and if we are determine to demonstrate God’s love as we are told in

1 Corinthians 13

The Message (MSG)
3-7 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,brag,show off
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always “me first,”
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,or are reaping the consequence of their folly.
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.

This lesson was what I learned in Jamaica this summer. I have to be sure to guard my heart against the pull of the world, and its fleshy way of living. It’s duplicity, saying one thing, but doing something else. The world pulls towards self and selfishness, but God's way is giving, unselfishly and most of all lovingly. 


I am now very refreshed. I’m inspired and ready for the new school year. I realize that one way to not be stressed this year is to give of my self with out expecting anything in return. To plant seeds as I give of my time, talents and treasures. God will always give back to me exceedingly, abundantly, above what I could ever ask or imagine or even think.
So saints, be encourage do not be weary in doing well. Your Father who searches your heart, He knows the intentions and will always give you back, much more than you could possibly give to Him.
 

Thanks to my dear sister in Christ I will never forget the summer of 2013 in Jamaica. I now know my revisit to Jamaica, as a turning point, pivotal  moment, and the start of another 60 years with my Lord.

Why does God allow evil ???

Recently one of my dearest sisters asked the question why does God allow the devil to do such awful things to God's people and also to innocent children? 
The disciples asked similar questions of Jesus "As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 
The Bible from OT to NT shows God's desire for us to obey Him and to resist the devil. Every story event points to God's desire for us to be whole, full of His love, and experience His abundant life.
Unfortunately, we allow the devil to continue to lie to us, as he lied to Adam and eve in the garden.
 "Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
We need to remember that God keeps his word. One day Satan will be  cast into hell for eternity. Until then Satan will still do his job, of attacking. killing, stealing and destroying all of God's creation. We too need to do our job of bringing down the schemes of the devil. As.God's children, we are soldiers in God's army. Our fight is against evil and Satan's plans. If we allow the Holy Spirit to build us up in our spirit man, if we come together and work against the kingdom of darkness, If we obey God and have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move the mountains. It is only then that we can bring God's healing, and reverse the things that Satan and his demons have put on mankind.
  13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
Being a Christian is not for the weak, double-minded, ungrateful, or prideful.A true Christian is faithful, humble, and obedient to His Lord and Savior. The battle is good against evil. Jesus has given us the victory, by His crucified,and resurrected  body. Jesus has already defeated Satan and all his demons. If we allow Holy Spirit to use our minds and our bodies, we too will experience the victory over all of Satan's evil schemes.

Let the Church rise up & crush the head of the Serpent

Guys we are in a war for God to be restored in this nation.
We see everyday that the principles of the word of God are being
 eroded and stripped from the foundations and core of America.
We have to expose the enemy among us, so that we can truly unite in God.
God has given us the strategy of war, it is the sword of the spirit which is the word of God. Jesus has told us to unite to be one, as He and the Father are one.
 We cannot depend on the world's method of fighting. We know we fight
NOT against flesh and blood BUT against principalities and powers in high places. 
This is why we have to speak truth and life to each other.
We have to love each other, and pray together and declare what the 
word of God says about each other.
We cannot afford to let the enemy keep us divided as the body of Christ.
We need to recognize the strategy of the enemy among believers..
We need to allow the Holy Spirit to show us the plan and obey Holy Spirit's truth.
We become strong together if we agree together with the love that  is shed abroad in our hearts, from the God of love. Once we agree together to follow God's plans, commands, rules and principles. Jesus has already won the victory for us.
Then we can move forward,and not back to the old ways of lies and division.
The Bible says resist the Devil and He will flee. Let us identify the devil's plan 
when we see it among us. When we see Satan at work in our midst we need to expose 
his lies, and counterattack Satan, with the truth of God's word, and crush Satan's head.
God wants us new and improved without spot and blemish. 
Then He will help us fight for that which is just, right and true, in the new and improved America.

Is there a theology of racism in the Church in America?


Matthew 2:12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise,
and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:
for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
This scripture clearly indicates that Jesus could NOT have looked white with blond hair and blue eyes to hide in Egypt.
The scientific evidence of DNA and eye color, that we now know about, helps us know the heritage and ancestry of Jesus.
The Jews intermarried with so many pagan races in the Old Testament
They lived in Egypt as slave for 400 years.  Abraham who came out of  North Africa became the father of 
Israel and Ishmael (all Arab nations today ) This indicates that Jesus would look more like an Egyptian, or Arab then any 
Northern European. The  Romans the strongest and closes Northern Europeans to the Jews 
during that time, did not have blond hair and blue eyes as one of their dominant features. DNA tell us  brown eyes and black hair
dominates. So, those who promote blond hair, blue eyes, white Jesus in churches, are allowing the teaching of the those
who support hate for others, and who cannot accept other people or other colors as equal to them.
 It is the philosophy of "Who do you think you are, to try to be equal with me? I am superior to you in every way."
"White supremacy is the belief, and/or promotion of the belief, that white people are superior to people of other racial backgrounds.
The term is sometimes used specifically to describe a political ideology that advocates the social, political, historical and/or industrial 
dominance by whites.[1] White supremacy, as with racial supremacist in general, is rooted in ethnocentrism and a desire for hegemony
 and power, [2] and has frequently resulted in violence against non-whites. Different forms of white supremacy have different conceptions of who is considered white, and not all white supremacist organizations agree on who is their greatest enemy." I t is out of this lie from Satan that the KKK was founded. Satan is the father of HATE and LIES and  GOD is LOVE Two very different kingdoms. 
The Kingdom of darkness promotes hate, racism and lies. The Kingdom of light promotes love, unity, truth, justice and goodness.
When are the Christians in America going to repent and begin to speak truth and life to all people. 
When are we going to become ONE Nation under God? When is the church in America going to treat
all people as created equally by God?  if the Christians in America really believe that God is a God of equality,
then it is time to speak up against racism and the spirit of hate that has dominated this country since the Pilgrims
came here, and butchered the native Americans.
Its time to embrace truth and do everything possible to bring togetherness and not feed and encourage 
false teaching and false beliefs. 
Wake UP American Christians, GOD is not pleased with racism as usual.
TV churches need to start a campaign of truth, and unity in the body of Christ. 
Let us promote godly men and women and stop the theology of hate.
