“This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting” Matthew 17:21. What’s happening in our world today requires men and women of God to pray and fast, the worst is still yet to come. We need spiritual watchmen and watchwomen of God on the hill top of our world in pray and supplication to the Lord for guidance. Like Moses in Exodus 17 “whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed. Whenever het let down his hand, Amalekites prevailed.” When Moses hands grew tired, Aaron and Hur held his hands up one on one side, and one on the other so that his hands remained steady till sunset. We need Jesus to be holding not just our hands, but our entire being, mentally, physically and spiritually. We are not once again doing well humanity.

I am sadden to think that we read the scriptures and proud to relate our circumstances in the world today is just like that which was written in the scriptures centuries ago. Shame on us! We obviously haven’t learned a thing, repeating history all over again.

I truly believe when Jesus returns it isn’t going to be about all the lovey dovey, compassionate, merciful, goodness we know Jesus to be. We are going to be called out on who’s side we truly want to be, God’s or the devil? It’s not going to be nice, but stern and discipline, because we were given every tool we need to be better spiritual human being to draw nearer to God.

I use to believe that racism is no longer boldly out there, but in discretion. I believed there’s no way it would be blatantly visual for all to see, not in this century. History passed, I could understand people were very ignorant back then. Four police officers in Minneapolis fired for the involvement of murdering a African-American man. One of the officer placed his knee on the man’s neck awhile he pleaded he couldn’t breath. So lost for words, but tears only tears can speak of the brokenness of my heart and spirit.

Today with DNA we can all understand there’s no pure nations, we are all mixed. One thing I have always taken into consideration as a faithful person in God; the world was populated by the first parents Adam and Eve not a monkey that evolved. How is it then, we can ever think we are superior to one another especially concerning the color of our skin. What is it sibling rivalry?

Why does it seem that coloured people are the Israelites after all these years back in Egypt crying and praying for a deliver to come to deliver them out of bondage, still. And once again the only deliver to come to change all this once and for all is Jesus. It’s been too long especially in the United States the cruel treatment of coloured people. The Holocaust never kept on repeating itself, neither Hiroshima or any other cruelty in history to humanity. Why is it the cruelty continues to African-American people? With all the freedom and rights, compared to past history they now have it’s like a cover up or just a deception, it’s not real at all there’s a underline hypocrisy about it all, racism is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, just disguised for those who truly are as tolerance until a chance to show it’s ugly presents, sad to say.

Everything in the dark is coming to light with this pandemic, we can no longer ignore. Is there really a way this can ever be changed? Yes! Jesus returns. Racism is one of the greatest commandment broken as Jesus says, “love your neighbors as yourself” good Samaritan.

A billion and a half to two billion people is destined to die by this pandemic covid-19 around the world. People are going to be ignorant because unlike a war the plague doesn’t show up to you like a bomb being dropped and exploding or machine gun being fired to hear the sound and take cover, but it sneaks up in a disguise as an illness not even to take seriously. We under estimate the consequences of our ignorance and the plague kills us, our love ones and neighbors. It is a silent killer and is to be taken seriously.

I give thanks to all the risk takers out in the world who believes this pandemic is not to be taken seriously, and those Christians who believes because they are faithful they are immune. I thank you because for every life taken, one is spared, according to Matthew 24:40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. It will be a life for a life. People stubbornness, disobedience and ignorance of the matter is going to be their down fall. But I thank them because of their actions they are sparing a lot of lives who really want to live and not take any risk, but follow the rules.

Lost for words, from the day of Adam and Eve, Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah mankind just haven’t learned. Stubborn, disobedient and selfishness as usual, our down fall. It feels like we are the Israelites being delivered out of bondage by the Egyptians and all we can do is argue, murmur and complain, we should just have remained in bondage and in Egypt. “Lord have mercy on us!”

Only the Lord knows when we shall be delivered from this pandemic. I believe the cure is right in front of us, but we are blinded by our own selfish ambitions and vain conceit, our blatant refusal to turn to the Lord in all humility. We need to stop and acknowledge God is in control of our lives, not we ourselves under these circumstances. For once the choice is not ours, we can’t take control of this, it’s just not happening! Our arrogance and ignorance always gets in the way.

Things is never going to ever be the same now and forever more. Here we are believing that we were able to create technology for our own convenience, patting ourselves on our back about our accomplishments, when it has been God’s plan for such a time like this. We can now understand that God has our future planned out for our own good. Nothing is created by man, it is discovered, discovered because God places it within our spirit to discover it. And with everything else about our lives He orchestrate it according to timing, place and century.

Just thought of all the things we were able to do and took for granted is now taken away from us. I have a very difficult time with the changes especially standing in line to go into the grocery stores and going shopping, everything touched has to be sanitized, you got to wear masks for protection, wash your hands consistently, don’t take flue like symptoms as it’s nothing and it’s going to pass, you can’t gather together with your friends and family and worst, be there for your sick loved ones and having them pass all alone, not even able to have a funeral for them, OMG! There are people dying alone in their homes without anyone knowing because of the isolation concerning covid-19 living alone and being all alone with no one. Being able to have gone outside was the only way they connected with others. No theatres, concerts, zoo, museums etc. This is what our world as we use to know it has now changed to become our new normal.

So many of us faithful people are thrilled and excited at the idea of the return of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Are we getting ahead of ourselves, shouldn’t we be more fearful? Just a thought for a moment, but wasn’t it the very people who in ancient times whom also was thrilled and excited about his coming, denied him, even crucified him. They also had the written word prophecy.

Why would I say to be fearful? I say to be fearful, because I believe history will repeat itself with us concerning the return of Jesus, simply due to the fact that humanity has proven ourselves to always drift far away from the true knowledge of God by our own devices and interpretations of the scriptures. The Holy Spirit is here to help us know God’s truth and yet there are so many being deceived still, especially by the heads of churches. Like the Pharisee and the scribes of ancient times, according to the Word( scriptures), they truly believe within their heart, they were right in their actions. And believe it or not, they were part of God’s plan, no different than Judas. What makes us believe, like them, our wisdom, knowledge, and understanding would be any different? Could it be that they didn’t have the New Testament, and the New Testament prophecy is more accurate? For thousands of years, with the knowledge from the Book of Revelation, Jesus return is not going to be a suprise, rather our acceptance and recognition of his presence according to prophecy is going to be the greatest test of our wisdom, knowledge and understanding, once again of the Scriptures as was back then.

Looking forward to the return of Jesus would be for my understanding the final battle to destroy Satan. The work for humanity has been completed, Jesus give himself for us and we were giving Grace to see us through. But first before we go forward to be moved aside for the battle we are going to be tested on how well learnt are we because throughout generations we were taught especially by Jesus who said, “I am the way, truth and the life…John 14:6. My fear is according to Matthew 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heave. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord,’ have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!’

We are always so over confident in our faith and our relationships with God. When I was younger I thought to myself about people who spoke about God like it was fact as having a one way phone conversation with Him to know it’s fact. God says to love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and love your neighbor as you love yourself, Matthew 22:36-40 and they would say, “but God our neighbors are idols worshippers, we can’t love them.” One way conversation! Knowing all who’s going to hell or not, their faith is correct no other, even to knowing how God thinks and feel concerning faith. But in the end God is the Judge of it all, not us. The question you’d ask yourself is, will God say? “My faithful servant to whom I am well pleased” or the angel comes and say? “Hail you are highly favored, by God.” But to hear those words, ” depart from me, I never knew you” would be like a knife to the heart, believing I was doing everything I thought He’d be pleased with. Doing me, claiming to serve the Almighty in man’s eyes.

Woke up this morning desperately praying for answers on, “the true meaning of life is?” I am angry, frustrated and bitter at myself as well as all human beings. “What are we doing here in this and with this thing called life.” I am tired and bitter at mankind. Why, you ask? Because we are the most unchangeable, but predictable species ever created. Amazingly we see the extinctions of animal and all sorts of other creatures, but not us. We keep on existing to fit all circumstances of times through evolution. Yet nothing about our behavior, characteristics, mindset ever seems to change time and time again, no matter how much everything else around us does. The Bible holds the record of this, especially towards each other and most of all concerning the Almighty God. It make sense that we could never change our relationships towards one another if we can’t even get it right with God. Not being able to get right with the Lord is our greatest obstacle. If we get right with God like Jesus, the the devil would no longer exist. His existence is predicted on us and our obedience to God.

How can you be selfless in a world full of greed and selfishness. No matter how you try to escape it, the world is infectious, and unless you have a great immune faith system, you’re going to get infected. It’s a battle field when knowing to do right and it becomes a struggle for the fear of critical rejection and you’re forcibly turned away or imprisonment of the mind, heart and spirit. Scriptures declares in Matthew 7:12 “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. But yet I see people who like receiving and not giving, hating, murdering, being prejudice to one another, stealing, committing adultery, gossiping all kinds of evil that there’s no way would be acceptable if reciprocal to themselves.

It angers me to see that we live in an enlightened world where nothing is hide from us, we know right and wrong. Yet our blatant disregard either through ignorance or just selfishness, the impact of our cruel actions towards others. I pray to God all the time to forgive me of my sin I do today, yesterday and the future, because no matter how faithful I am sin will always find a way to get in and it doesn’t knock to enter. I feel within my spirit that sin just gets activated, if I don’t get a hold of my soul when frustration, anger and sadness creeps in. No matter how ‘Holy’ I may feel at time those unguarded moments of weakness gives way. The devil made me do it is no excuse for a Christian, sorry! As a Christian we learn in James 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Ephesians 6:11-18 “Put on the whole armour of God.”

I refuse to believe that Jesus’s death on the cross is for us to continue in sin and believe His work is incomplete, that sin still rules, “The devil is a liar” remember that. We must fight to stand our grounds and rebuke him, don’t give in, call on the name of Jesus Mark 16:17. If we are still sinning it is because it’s the residue of sin lingering to get hold of the the weak. We’ve been given the power and authority not over each other, but over the wickedness of the devil. Luke 9:1

Can’t believe in the midst of covid-19, a world pendemex people are committing murder. The virus itself is already taking lives, why senseless violence in the mix. In Canada, Halifax 22 murdered and in the United States, Georgia the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. My heart is so broken and my mind troubled. I thought to myself, at least we know about these incidents, but I could just imagine the other evil’s going on in the world that is not in the media, we have no information about.

How do we justify these crimes, can we just say it’s human nature? It’s human nature to mess up because we’re not perfect, but to be a killer, something is definitely wrong. Mental illness, I can understand and is an good enough excuse, but to blatantly kill another human being for no reason, my Lord Jesus, do we ever need you to come now.

Murder is murder, twenty-two compare to one is still wrong, ever so wrong. The Ahmaud Arbery murder is tormenting my spirit only because of the video. It is hard when you allow your imagination to run wild on how a murder went down, but when you see exactly what took place and the cruelty, it’s haunting. I can’t close my eyes without seeing him trying to fight for his life and the staggered away and then dropped to the ground. No parent needs to go through what his parents must be, especially seeing the video, my God! I can’t help but cry.

Race: a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock, Merriam-webster definition. Racism: a belief that race is primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.

Racism began with the devil and his dislike for humans, Adam and Eve. He came between God and man by encouraging and deceiving Adam and Eve to eat from the forbidden tree to prove to God that we fragile and inadequate. But to God, we are the love of his life. Satan was just jealous because God gave man free will, where as he being an angel didn’t. The reason I say this is because we read in the book of Job chapter one beginning with verse six through to twelve. Satan went into the presence of God to make a proposition about Job, a perfect upright and faithful man of God. Satan believed he was only being true to God because God had a hedge around him blessing him with any and everything and, if God took it away surely Job will curse him. Just to think of the of mindset Satan has to think such a thought about Job towards God.

Job is proof to the jealousy, racism, hatred, whatever, all the same when concerns anything pretaining to the devil, that he had towards man from the beginning of time. I believe just like with Job, and God knew it. Satan dislike man so much that he’s always trying some way or the other to destroy us, form deceptions and lies, whatever it takes. Remind us of anyone? Yes a racist!

Whenever I think about racism I think of the devil. He’s the only side you chose to belong to when you are a racist. God created the world and all that is in it, even the devil. And it’s his love for all his creation, the reason he keeps giving us a chance to make a change for betterment and not just us as man, but the bad angels also. So we all must chose which side we want to be on because the end to the system of things is coming. We must make that change now that everything is revealed through DNA . There is no pure nations or superiority race of people, we are all one, and that is a human race. If anything covid-19 came to us to make light of our ignorance that we are all human and none of us is exempt from it.

Just because China was first hit with covid-19 doesn’t make it a Chinese disease and just becuse the elderly is mostly affected and dies, doesn’t make it an old people disease. Like getting the flue, everyone is being effected, some get very ill and survive and there are others that dies. Judging someone for being sick is nothing but ignorance and being foolish. No one should be killed, hurt or discriminated against for the color of there skin, religion, size of their body, sexual orientation, social status, etc. Only God is the righteous judge for us all, whom he created.

Luke 1:46-55 Mary said,”My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoice in God my saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath to holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed forever.

Proverbs 31:10-31 Virtuous woman is a woman who fears and Lord. Every woman should want to follow suit. The story of Naomi and Ruth shows us the virtuous women. Ruth expressing her love for her mother-in-law Naomi by remaining by her side and leaving what she new all her life to follower her where ever she’d go, after the lost of her two sons and husband. Naomi had pleaded with Ruth to return to her family, but Ruth was adamant she will be with her no matter what.

Mary the mother Jesus is the manifestation of the word virtuous. Being a virgin was and is the most vital importance simply because it spoke of her purity for what God was about to do. There was also qualities about Mary that are not mentioned, but being highly favored imply those qualities had to be that of a virtuous women according to the scriptures.

Virtuous woman is not about being equal to a man neither is it the miss conception of genda and pay, even though it is only right that if a woman can do the same job as a man why not pay both get the same pay. There should be no competition where work and pay is concern especially between men and women this is not about strength. Let a man, be a man and a woman, be a woman, what does that mean? We have or role in this life and that is to be one another’s help mate. In other words you can do and be better together. One is not better without the other, only together you’re better.

Every one of us as a woman like Mary should adhered to the quality of character of a virtuous woman, so God can find favor with us also to grant us the abilities like Mary to change the world according to his will and be ready to except.
