sometimes, in order to move forward...powerfully...one must stop and... rewind.
said differently...in order to better know in which direction to next go, once must consider where they have been---their history. where their people have been. in the bigger picture this principle also holds true i believe.
i was pricked in the spirit recently. a soft nudge and caution to rewind.
time found me a bit stuck, for lack of a better word, as i obeyed. it is one of the pitfalls of rewinding through history. in the big picture, it is tempting for me to get stuck with the angry screw face. lol. injustice gets under my skin. grrr. ALL praises due to Almighty that He also saw fit to remind me that i am called to His Purpose and that it was time to move forward...powerfully. my heart is full of His praise. only He is worthy of such praise, truly.introspection and reflection allows me to better extract the valuable lessons that have been amassed along the way. long has my prayer been for Wisdom. i feel the beginnings of this great blessing. on some level...i have always known He was real. through the years He has revealed Himself to me in mighty ways. my rebellious nature has been broken. i no longer feel rebellious toward Him. i am eternally grateful that He broke the rebellion and not my neck...and prayerful that i don't fall as i work out my salvation with fear and trembling. He mercifully did not break my neck...but i gotta testify that He definitely can tap you to get your attention when one's head is hard;) despite reflecting...i am still unclear as to why i felt compelled to run away from Him when He first called? what was that about? whatever that mystery was about, i can tell you for sure i am thankful for His Grace and Mercy...
daily, i remind myself that Obedience to His Word is worth more than sacrifice. this keeps me in check. it is my sincere prayer that all that have occasion to read these words will take a few moments and ask Almighty Yahweh Himself to pray for them that they may commit their lives in Obedience to Him.
truly we receive not because we ask not. it is time to house clean. if we pay attention...Obey is a prominently featured message. here's the thing...one will truly only obey Him or one other. when one bottom lines matters...that is the bottom line. it does not really matter all of the special deeeep ways one has for maintaining their deception. those that love lies will have no shortage of them to choose from. some have even layered lies upon layer and layer of more lies. they have done so for so long that it is now their heartfelt truth. as it is written: 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12. i feel most saddened for those that must combat a lifetime of digesting a steady diet of lies.
done with my rewind. committed fully to moving forward powerfully...may you be in your life as well.
ONE Love~ONE People~ONE Mind...release heaven to earth...Matthew 6:9-13 One Voice, Now!

Sister Purpose, saw your comments on the Field Negro site and I must say its refreshing read a different slant on various topics. So this morning I was just reading the comments on FN and decided to drop by your blog. Looks like you are also focused on making self better. I like what you said about HIM knocking and you did not answer. I think in my case religion was door that I could not enter. I was rebelling against all the things I could not do. Strict holiness was not a fun way to get to know him. I was busy trying to do man's law and not the supreme law. Keep doing ALL YOU CAN to make this a better place. We need sanity restored in our relationships, our families and our area of touch. Again, I enjoy your comments.
A Black Panther Forever-
welcome. i am glad you felt compelled to drop by and leave a comment. you are my first comment since i have felt led to write again.
what one calls themselves speaks volumes. i drop by the fields and speak because i see clearly that there are truly concerned people looking for a place to pool their energy. if the best educated among us are content with the status quo because individual houses are mammoned sufficiently...shame! as AB would say. lol.
my true focus and purpose is to get out of the way and be a vessel for Him. we each WILL serve someone...in all things i pray to serve Him. only Him...our defeated enemy loves to trick folks out of making a well informed and factual decision. he always put a little twist that changes the WHOLE game to our detriment.
i am focused on practicing greater discipline in all areas. being spiritually turned all the up daily. full spiritual alert if you will. Scriptures instructs us to Watch. Be Alert. Pray without ceasing. Fast...as some devils are only loosed by fasting and prayer. here is more of that hidden Knowledge...we are Powerful and created to obediently serve Him in abundance and freedom. all this other jazz is the fall out from choosing to believe lies and acting accordingly in disobedience. since our flesh houses our spirits for now...in this realm...there should be a constant conscious choice to follow Him...not those desires.
our enemy accuses that we will follow him if only we have enough distractions. He favors and loves us and knows the beginning from the end. those that choose Him win. all can be told by their fruits. i am working on my spiritual fruits, my friend. in these last days, it seems to me that this is what time it is.
my friend, i am not religious AT ALL. religion is man made and designed to manipulate and control. others. those that come up with the mess never bother to control themselves. the handlers that serves as puppets for the hidden agenda are well compensated as they lead the flocks astray in return.
if one will simply pay attention...watch as well as pray as my mother would say...they would not be able to avoid noticing that those that come preaching peace, bring with them hell, death and chaos.
we must be in disobedience in order to get caught up. when folks listen to men (and women) speak on the matters of Most High...they would do well to take notes, look stuff up in Scriptures, and cross referencing it...and then pray and ask Him to show them what He wants them to know. truly, study to show themselves approved. not to mention the stifling sexism folks LOVE to have generous portions of all in the mix of all religions. why, would i invest in that madness on any level? particularly when Scriptures tells me plainly Galatians 3:28? and i know there is no counsel against Almighty because it is plainly written in Scriptures. Proverbs 21:30.
the spiritual bond with Him is lacking in most 'churches' today...all denominations and faiths. if one pays attention, Revelation is written to the churches. He sees the madness going down in the open to public services during the day and secret member only rituals in the wee am and evenings.
so i urge you to seek Him, not religion. i spoke to my previous rebellion. know this Black Panther...BM are in rebellion collectively speaking. rebellion against Him has resulted in the condition lamented daily. how do i know this? because it is written quite clearly:
1 Samuel 15:22-23
22 'And Samuel said, Hath the Sovereign as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Sovereign? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.'
23 'For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Sovereign, He hath also rejected thee from being king.'
you are meant to be king...until you turn your hearts to Him, you will not be returned to your right place. it is not about be 'equal' with anyone else. your enemies have been allowed to prevail against you as punishment for our father's father's father's father's sin. mother as well...
i pray you will learn and know in no uncertain terms that a relationship with Him has nothing to do with 'religion'. i pray that you will seek Him with all of your heart, mind, spirit and soul. may He guide and bless you and your house forever in His Mighty name i pray.
thanks for stopping by. you know...i have a bone to pick with the panthers. i am a reformed black nationalist. upon closer scrutiny i gleaned that business had nothing to do with me. eldridge cleaver, soul on ice, his exaltation, rape of bw- no prison no apology, rape of ww-both prison and apology, still panthers act like he is to be exalted despite such crimes against humanity. adding the rampant sexism left me no choice but to stop with the backwards thinking. seeing how treacherously some bm were/are behaving in relationship to bw snapped me right on out of it. but that is a whole other convo for another time.
blessings to you. come back any time.
ps. following Him is not about what all you can't do. strict. rigidness. in fact, it is my testimony that stuff that used to hold appeal...just no longer does when the scales are lifted from your eyes. it is my joy to serve Him and show my gratitude for Him loving me first and so much...in my obedience He blesses me. where is the downside?
i don't know if you have children. if you do...think of it like this, if you will...the rules we make for our children are not because we want to hurt, deprive, or enslave them. we set standards for their provision, protection and well being. the same is true with Most High.
i can only speak as a woman and confess that i see mostly with that filter...so here goes...in my obedience to Him, i am protected, favored and blessed. what the world calls fun is not really all that fun when one counts costs...i am not that smart. i just know that it is written:
2 Timothy 3: 1-5
1 'This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.'
2 'For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unset apart,'
3 'Withouth natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,'
4 'Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of Almighty.'
5 'Having a form of g-dliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.'
6 'For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts.'
7 'Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of truth.'
how much clearer can from such turn away be? lol. i suggest all start with Proverbs. one needs the beginnings of Wisdom in order to even get in the game really...
thanks for allowing me to share.
one may also consider this fact:
do what thou wilt as the whole of the law...which is what MANY practice today...is satanic. period.
