Watch this FB-LIVE on Reconciliation BEFORE Reparations

After the civil war and the release of the slaves the era of reconstruction and the promise of land, and that which the slaves would need to live and make a living was revoked....our ancestors were never given that which they were promised in reconstruction...but not only that, but after 400 years of building this nation we weren't even given the rights and freedoms of the constitution...ALL THE WAY UP TO MY LIFETIME.

It wasn't until 1963 and the Civil rights bill that we began to be given the freedoms and rights as full citizens...all the way from 1863...And while God has graced us America has never really acknowledged or made any attempt to compensate the descendants of the slaves for all the inequities of these hundreds of years since the declaration of Independence declared us ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY & JUSTICE FOR ALL.

I don't believe this discussion should be a political football tossed around...

The discussion of reparations is not a discussion that should be attributed to White people owing Black people money, but of AMERICA, a nation that was built upon the backs of Slaves, acknowledging that it never compensated her slaves or their descendants for raping them from their land, with millions never surviving the journey through the middle passage and being thrown overboard or jumping into the sea.

Then being bought and sold as property, taken and forced into uncompensated labor, being considered as property, not people, raping their women, tearing apart their families, keeping them from learning and providing for their own survival and well-being for hundreds of years, producing generations of thing-oriented human beings, then releasing these brain washed ancestors of ours, only after she (America), was forced to do so, by the outcry of the decency and human sentiment of the few abolitionists, and eventually a whole army of northern soldiers, eventually emancipating...

The coming of the Lord is so near.  On our 2018 Israel Mandate Pilgrimage, I was challenged again by the nearness of His return.  I always have that when I go to Israel, but this time it was even more pronounced.  There is an awakening happening in Israel, which means that there is an awakening coming to the global body of Christ.  And I was challenged to awake from my slumbering heart on our Israel Mandate 2018 Pilgrimage more than I had ever been challenged in my life.

YOU’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE…YOUR PASSPORT IS EXPIRED

There was a personal challenge that I had at the beginning of the trip that was a prophetic picture of how near His coming is and how we should be preparing our hearts to hear from Him in the details of our lives, to be able to keep our hearts prepared for that Great and Awesome day of the Lord.

My passport was expired and I didn’t know it until I got to the ticket counter in NYC to board the plane to...
