T he great civil war in America was not fought over slavery as stated in many of our history books. The south believe that they do not need the north, because north only have snow, while south have all the industries, or what it takes to run these machines.

Therefore, they rebel against north. Abraham Lincoln knows that south need the industries of slavery to keep its economies going and declared the slave free. This would create a conflict in the back yard of the white people of south. It would also, cause massive migrations of blacks slave to begin, moving north. This migration of slaves would provide north with cheep labors, while destroying the economies backbones of the south. This would bring a quick end to their rebellion. South react by promising the black slaves certain amount of land plus mules. Therefore, we have black slaves who believe in the promises fighting for the south and black slaves fighting for the north.

WHEN WAR WAS OVER.

Black was blamed for the deaths of thousands of people, because it was taught that the civil war was cause because of them. A new machine was put into motions to destroy the black people. It was put into every sectors of society that continue down to these days.

One of the plan was to cut the black fathers out, by land them in prison. The new breed of black has no role model, they wonder about like chickens having no head. They turn to the church for help. However, the black pastors have the education that was provided for them. It could only help them that much but no further. They fail to see that there comes a time when all that men taught you would only drive you further away from God.

DAVID FOUND THIS OUT.

Psalm 119:99 (KJV) I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

There are more to what people are trying to tell you about God, you must take that they tell you, and use it as a stepping-stones. However, you must take Christianity to a new height. You will not be able to do this when you are wearing the chains of denominational-ism around your ankles, and around your mind. You must shake these off and think for yourself. Learn to think on your own, write your own teaching materials, and establish your own printing press, sent out your own missionaries. Having your own news reporters, go out and vote, and above all, establishes your own systems of beliefs, just like what the Rasta men has done. You do not have to believe in Jesus the way people set it up for you.

Matthew 23:3 (KJV) All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

BLACK PASTORS AND THE CHURCH.

If you have a hundred members, and ask each to donate $20 each per week toward housing. = $2000. This money could be use as a down payment for other blacks that want to buy a house. This is not a lot but with a down-payment assistant program, all these people who cannot own a house could get help from their church communities. However, black pastors were not taught to take Christianity to this level. The whole thing is getting rich for them and their families. I was helping a certain pastor in New York. Some young people were heading off to collage. He got up and brought a message he says was from the Lord. Trying to stop the young people from going to collage. I saw that these people future are going to be ruin and got up and tell them to go on to collage.

BLACK PASTORS SAYING THE APOSTLES WERE UNLEARNED, TRYING TO JUSTIFIED UNEDUCATIONS BY USING THE SCRIPTURES OUT OF CONTEX.

Acts 4:13 (KJV) Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

WHO SAID THAT THE APOSTLES WERE IGNARANT AND UNLEARN MEN.

Acts 4:6-7 (KJV) And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. [7] And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?

Annas, Caiaphas, John, Alexander and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.

These men persecuted the gospel, from John Baptist, to Jesus, and about thirty years into Paul ministries. One of the lost one to go off the seen was Alexander. They were defaming the apostles and what they say was not the truth. How many time do we perceive something about somebody and were dead wrong!

WHAT DID THEY SAY ABOUT JESUS?

John 7:14-15 (KJV) Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. [15] And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

However, it was not the ordinary Jews that said this; it was the same people that were in charge.

WAS THE APOSTLES REALY UNLEARNED?

Peter was a commercial fisherman. To be a commercial fisherman in those days, you have to know celestial’s navigations. You will have to be able to convert land mile to sea mile, (Nautical miles) This indicate that he was not a novice when it came to the principles of arithmetic. It also mean that he know astronomy, the relationship of the heavenly bodies with the earth. Selling fish mean that he has training in communications skills, and people relationship. Peter was not unlearned, very few Jewish boys of the days of our lord was unlearn. By they reach twelve years old they were well trained, to take over from their father if he was ever killed in battle. The twelve years old son could take over and carry just like the father was not even gone or killed.

WE SEE PETER DEMONSTRATED HIS PEOPLE SKILLS.

Galatians 2:11-14 (KJV) But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. [12] For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. [13] And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. [14] But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

However, the apostle Paul rebuked him because that concept does not work with the new life.

BLACKS FAILS TO GIVE CREDIT TO OTHER BLACKS.

Another problem I find among blacks is that we are afraid to give applaud to other blacks for their efforts. Since I was saved, I can count on one hand every time one of my own people ever applauded me for my effort. If these so call preacher from over seas lay hand on them they fall down trying to say that these people have some power in them. When these so-call preachers leave the church is more demonize that ever.

The reason for all this, we need to take the gospel and Christianity level higher than what men have taught us. Because there are more to God, Jesus, and the Bible than what we have been taught. If you are going only by what other people teaches you about God, brother you are in trouble.

SOMETIME ONLY JESUS CAN HELP US:

Matthew 6:33-AV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Isaiah 55:6-AV Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Isaiah 55:7-AV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

LOOK AT THE BENEFITS OF BECOMING A CHRISTIAN:

How does a person become a Christian, and are sure that he/she is save? First the person must know that he/she is a sinner and need deliverance from the lord.

Romans 3:23 (KJV) for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Galatians 3:22 (KJV) But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A GOD:

Hebrews 11:6 NKJV But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD IS READY TO FORGIVE HIM:

Isaiah 55:7 (KJV)Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT CHRIST DIED FOR HIM:

Romans 5:6 (KJV) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Romans 5:8 (KJV)But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

1 Cor. 15:3-8 (KJV) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: [5] And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: [6] After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. [7] After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. [8] And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN KEEP HIM:

Ephes. 3:20 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Jude 1:24 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

PERFECTING THE SAINTS IS A WORK OF GOD:

1 Peter 5:10 (KJV) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

THE SINNER MUST KNOW THAT ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE THEM:

Acts 4:12 (KJV) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

THE SINNER MUST MAKE A DECISION TODAY:

Isaiah 1:18 (KJV) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

2 Cor. 6:2 (KJV) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

BOW YOUR HEAD AND PRAY THIS PRAYER:

Lord I am a sinner and need your salvation. Forgive all my sins. I accept your son Jesus as my savior today.

We can sing with the song writer" I rise walk in heaven’s own light above the world and sin with heart made pure and garments white, and Christ en-throned with in. The cleansing stream I see I see I plunge, and O It cleans-eth me. O praise the Lord, it cleans-eth me, it cleans-eth me yes, cleans-eth me."

DROP ALL PRE-CONCEIVE IDEAS OF CHRISTIANITY:

Drop all preconceived ideas of Christianity because these conflict with the reality of Christianity. The lord will live the life through you day by day. You do not drop things from your life on your own. The spirit of God will walk you out of sins in his own time.

FIRST HUMBLING YOU:

Ephes. 2:8-9 (KJV)For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.

If you stop sins and get holy before God’s timing you will begin to boast how it is your own magnetism got you so far, then you became a source of discouragement to others. Therefore, you are going to stuck upon a sin or two. The sin always getting the better of you. This will push you to always accept God’s grace, and to see your own frailness.

1 John 1:8 (KJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

TO CONTINUE GROWING IN GOD:

1 Peter 2:2 (KJV) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

2 Peter 1:5-10 (NKJV) But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble.

FINDING OUT YOUR CALLING:

When I was newly save, the believers always, ask me if I know the will of God for my life! I never really know what they were talking about. Every person that was saved had a mission and a gift. However, because you are just a babe in Christ you do not know any of these. As you go on with the lord his will for you will unfolds day bay day. Do not run off and make any big commitment. Your mate has to be tailor made for you by God. You are now a citizen of heaven. Heaven does not rule by democracy. You cannot serve God with democratic mind set.

WHAT YOU MUST DROP OFF:

Hebrews 12:1 (Living Bible) Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.

Ephes. 4:31 (Living Bible) Stop being mean, bad-tempered, and angry. Quarreling, harsh words, and dislike of others should have no place in your lives.

Col. 3:8 (Living Bible) but now is the time to cast off and throw away all these rotten garments of anger, hatred, cursing, and dirty language.

GET A GOOD BIBLE, AND FIND A GOOD CHURCH:

One of the best Bibles out there is the New King James Version. Dake’s annotated Bible is very good. Next, you need a living bible to make some thing simple.

Hebrews 10:25 (Living Bible) Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near.

PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM BEING SPOILED BY MAN:

Col. 2:8 (KJV)Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Hebrews 13:9 (KJV) Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

Seven Ways that People Can Spoil Christians:

1. Through philosophy (Col. 2:8)

2. Through vain deceit (Col. 2:4,8,18-19)

3. Through human traditions (Col. 2:8)

4. Through human religion and world principles contrary to the gospel (Col. 2:8,14-23; note, §Galatians 4:3)

5. Through circumcision (Col. 2:11-13; Acts 15:1; Romans 4:9-16; Galatians 5:1-11)

6. Through the law of Moses, demanding observance of the laws on meats, drinks, holy days, new moons, feasts, and sabbaths (Col. 2:14-17)

7. Through cults that puff up and imitate the gospel (Col. 2:18-23)

By all these means, unsuspecting souls are being carried off as plunder and booty by false teachers. The founders of false religions and human philosophies which pamper the flesh and give their victims elated feelings of importance make an appeal to them.

Christianity is loaded down with some false concept. Some little believe system, which are spread by false believers. One of such teaching is that you must “Look like Christians” How does Christians look? Genuine Christianity is not an external thing but of the heart and spirit.

Micah 6:8 (KJV)He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

When cults capture a newly converted Christians, the cult first job on that new believer is to close their mind. Preventing the new believer from reading any material from other churches. So that new believer will never get out of their trap.

YOUR HORMONE DOES NOT STOP WORKING WITH CHRISTIANITY:

Philip. 3:20-21 (KJV)For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Romans 8:23 (KJV) And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

Our bodies were not save at conversion. The work of redemption took place in your spirit man. Our body will be redeemed at the return of our lord. We are still waiting for the redemption of our body.

According to Philip 3:20-21 and Romans 8:23. You are still going to have urges. You have to present your body to the lord as a living sacrifice. Not dead one. Living sacrifice give trouble, you will have trouble keeping that body tied to the altar. However, as you and I grow in the lord what seem impossible will be quite possible.

Come back for update soon.

A window is opened, a bird eye view is given, a voice is heard, a man is enlightened a soul is saved.
