MY RESPONSE TO MY POST ON THE METOO MOVEMENT, VICTIM ADVOCACY AND FALSE JUSTICE IN THE CHURCH

To all those that left comments on my post on the victim advocacy movement in the church being an offshoot of the Metoo movement, and being a false justice movement, in the spirit of Absalom, requesting more clarification or the source of my sentiments. Here's my heart on that post

All I'm saying is that there's a true justice movement and healthy advocacy that includes Christ and personal responsibility. And there's a false justice movement and an unhealthy advocacy that requires NOTHING of the victim. The METOO movement is false justice movement and an unhealthy advocacy movement because it doesn't require the victim to repent (change), leading the victim to Christ.

THE ADVOCACY OF ABSALOM FOR TAMAR

The account of Absalom advocating for Tamar is a picture of advocating for victims gone wrong.

2Sa 13:28  Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I...

Day 5 OF PERFECT HEART MAY - How to Receive a Perfect Heart

Welcome to Day 5 OF OUR MAY SOLEMN ASSEMBLY OF PRAYER - PERFECT HEART MAY

THE PERFECT HEART – How we Receive the Perfect Heart 

John 6:63 says, the
words that we speak they are spirit and life.

Our hearts become what we eat, or take into our spirit man. If we receive into our hearts wrong words we release that out of our hearts towards God and others. This is why God demands us, “be ye holy, as I am holy.” Holiness is not long dresses and no make-up, as some of us were taught in our traditional holiness churches. Holiness is a spirit. Romans 1:3 says,
Jesus was called the Son of God according to the spirit of holiness.

The spirit realm is governed by the words we speak. John 6:63 says, the words that we speak they are spirit and life.

Holiness guards your spirit from anything that would be contrary to the word of God concerning your life, coming into your spirit and mixing with the word of God that is in your spirit. Holiness is allowing nothing...

Day 3 OF OUR MAY SOLEMN ASSEMBLY OF PRAYER - PERFECT HEART MAY

Welcome to Day 3 OF OUR MAY SOLEMN ASSEMBLY OF PRAYER - PERFECT HEART MAY

THE PERFECT HEART – THE UNITY OF ALL RACES -PT.2 GRACISM OVER RACISM -The Grace gift to heal the Race rift. 

Ephesians 4:1-8 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. 7But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

In order for us to enter into mature, perfected unity and oneness in the earth as humanity, there must be Grace given according to the measure of Christ's gift. We must enter into that grace which Paul speaks of in Ephesians 4:7 when he speaks of the One body, Spirit, and hope of your calling that is found in the One Lord, Faith, and Baptism that is in the One God and Father of all who is over all, through all and in all. . 7But to each one of us grace was...

Day 1 OF OUR MAY SOLEMN ASSEMBLY OF PRAYER - PERFECT HEART MAY

Welcome to Day 1 OF OUR MAY SOLEMN ASSEMBLY OF PRAYER - PERFECT HEART MAY

As we enter into this first day of Perfect Heart May Solemn Assembly of prayer and fasting, I believe it is imperative for God's people to understand the culture of fasting that must accompany prayer in God's house of prayer. 

Fasting was a part of the culture of the church that was seen in the Antioch Church in Acts 13:1. And if we are to endure this season(s) in the earth before His return we must return this virtue to a regular part of our lifestyle in Christ Church of the 21st century.

1Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

Fasting Prepares you to Pray and Say with Power...

Biblical Justice is more than innocence or guilt it's also Truth coming to light

Just recently, a young man in my home town was shot in the back three times, accused of having waved a gun at the plain clothes officer.  The problem with this accusation is that the young man had subway sandwiches in one hand, and a key opening the door to his house in the other hand. 

There's no justification for shooting anyone in the back, when there's no threat to the officer's life and the accused is not endangering the life of another, even if he's in the process of criminal behavior, which was not the case with this young man.   Justice in this situation deals with the truth coming to light and the process of the unnecessary use of force used by law enforcement against certain people groups being condemned and rectified.

In the summer of 2020 in Wisconsin, another young man, Jacob Blake, was shot in the back 7 times and paralyzed, but this time there was video evidence of him discarding the orders of the police to put his hands up and surrender.

Black Lives Matter? or ALL Lives Matter?

If you're a Christian and you can't hear black lives matter without feeling the need to respond with a criticism that "ALL LIVES MATTER," then crack open your bible and hit up Luke 15.

Don't have it handy? Let me summarize.

There are 100 sheep, but one goes missing. Jesus leaves the 99 and goes after the one.

The 99: "Baaaaahhhh But what about us? Don't we matter?

Jesus: Of course 99 you still matter, but you're not the ones in danger - The one is.

Just like that one sheep mattered to Jesus, Black Lives in America Matter to him.

All Lives mattering hasn't been the Question that Blacks are asking of Whites in the Black community, but Do Black Lives Matter?

“All Lives Matter Wasn’t the Question.” Of course all lives matter. The question was, “Do Black Lives Matter?”

And just so it's clear, in my community I don't just promote Black Lives in the Streets being killed by Police mattering.....I promote ALL BLACK LIVES MATTERING FROM WITHIN THE WOMB...

The REPARATIONS Dilemma - Political or Biblical, Entitlements or Justice

 

 WHY I BELIEVE IN SOME FORM OF REPARATIONS
I believe whatever is revealed that comes from scripture......not from a political sense, but from a biblical sense.

In Exodus 12:33-36, The children of Israel, on their way out of 400 years of slavery, God directed them to request from their neighbors, silver, Gold, etc...and gave them favor to receive the wealth of Egypt....He gave them the reparations of 400 years worth of wages for free labor in ONE night.

I believe in reparations for the ancestors of former slaves because God didn't send Israel out of slavery empty handed.  Our African-American forefathers were released from hundreds of years of slavery EMPTY HANDED. This is why I believe in reparations from the BIBLE, not from a political vantage point, but from a biblical standpoint, which is different from what is being promoted in liberal policies today.

Reparations from a biblical standpoint begins with a return to God, from a dependency on a system that at its core is...

3 THINGS WE NEED AS BLACK PEOPLE TO COME UP

 

LET JUSTICE ROLL DOWN LIKE WATER AND RIGHTEOUSNESS LIKE A MIGHTY STREAM - A Word for AMERICA  from Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.

Going Live from Columbus City Hall at the Black Men of Excellence Prayer gathering & March.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to Justice everywhere –

1. THERE COMES A TIME

You know my friends, there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled by the iron feet of oppression.

There comes a time my friends, when people get tired of being plunged across the abyss of humiliation, where they experience the bleakness of nagging despair.

There comes a time when people get tired of being pushed out of the glittering sunlight of life's July and left standing amid the piercing chill of an alpine November. There comes a time.

2. WE THE DISINHERITED OF THIS LAND

•We, the disinherited of this land.

•We who have been oppressed so long, are tired of going through the long night of captivity.

•And now we are...
