Merry Christmas!
It 'twas the night before Christmas and all through my house, a few creatures were stirring but none were a mouse!
It was late on the night of April 11th and I could not sleep, it felt that it was the night before Christmas. That level of excitement and anticipation does not happen often in life since most events do not match Christmas day when you are a child so its a relevant memory by the time you are an adult.
So I put on worship music from the devotional playlist from ihop.org...I worshipped and agreed with God, worshipped and agreed. I did not know what I was agreeing with specifically yet I decided to agree with Him and worship. I finally went to sleep.
I arose the next morning and greeted my dad with, "Merry Christmas", he looked at me funny and laughed it off. A little while later a friend called and I greeted her, "Merry Christmas", I told her about the night before and let her know that today was Christmas. There are a few of us who are anticipating miracles of miracles in this month of Nissan (Jewish calendar) which ends April 22. Christmas gifts from our heavenly Father...would make perfect sense to us that live in His favor, respect His word and understand the prophetic. The day went on.
Midday I get a call and the same friend who agreed with me in faith and declaration that morning, said that someones facebook status stated, " I just got a Christmas card today! I sent it to someone in December but it was the wrong address and it just returned to me today".
I could not believe it....it really is Christmas!!! So we became encouraged. A little while later that facebook status was updated and the mother of the girl got a report from the doctor....NOW CANCER FREE!!!! What God?!!!- healings... and Christmas in April....KEEP IT COMING!
I was excited and kept listening out for the phone, waiting on the delivery of the mail and emails to receive Christmas gifts! And yet I did not receive any...so I took a nap...had a dream that I was given an invitation to a birthday party...I think it was a surprise. When I woke up I had an invitation to a wedding from my friend Angel....so I get an invitation to a wedding by an Angel? Ok Lord.
Then I get an email, my friends grandmother had gone home to be with the Lord the week before so her home was being flooded with flowers and bereavement cards. She walks into the kitchen and there was a new card....it was a Christmas card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT???
So the Lord is going out of His way to let me know He is moving...BIG time for me...and before my heart can settle in doubt or discouragement...He kept it coming... so it goes----I felt it's Christmas, 2 separate people get Christmas cards, I get an invitation from an Angel to a wedding and then a dream inviting me to a surprise birthday party......LORD Thank You for these gifts.....Merry Christmas.
I look to you with expectation....you will not pass me by...it is my time for your miracles of miracles...healing, revival, currency, profit, land, job offered well, salvation in my family, the deep desirs of my heart and more intimate encouters with the Holy Spirit. Thank you, my time...our time is now.
Abba, you are Faithful...Merry Christmas.

PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!
He ran down the street yellowing, PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!
He had a panic in his heart and an urgency that pulled at the ears of the hearers.
Many turned to look, was there something chasing him? was there a message to accompany this urgent command?
Their minds started to think of all the reasons he could be running and yelling in such a way.
The word "Pray" was not foreign to them but the actions were something of a small scale and hardly ever commanded an immediate response, so why in the world is he running and yellowing?
PRAY!PRAY!PRAY!
This is all he could get out, nothing else made sense fore he knew to explain would cause the listeners to lessen the need and make light the urgency so he just continued to run and yell.
He grabbed coats of men, looked at them with eyes of fear and panic begging them to PRAY!PRAY!PRAY! He grabbed the forearm of women and looked up with eyes of a persuasive child helpless, in need and tears of pain gliding down his cheek yelling PRAY!PRAY!PRAY!. He looked softly into the eyes of little boys and girls compelling and encouraging them that prayer from their hearts was needed as well and expressed PRAY!PRAY!PRAY!
Was he mad? Was he crazy?
He was a familiar face to the townspeople but it was his voice that pulled their attention. Soon nothing else would matter.
This story has TWO endings depending on ONE thing--their response.
One ending is that because their hearts were connected to the same source that caused him to run with urgency, they dropped to their knees and layed down on the streets-men, women, boys and girls-and began to pray to the Father God through the Son Jesus Christ via this unction of the Holy Spirit. You see they knew the same scripture that sent him running with panic that day--If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (2Chronicles 7:14). They knew if they called on God, God would respond.
So prayer begot prayer...and repentance begot worship...and God responded with healing, restoration, miracles and revival. God healed every aspect of their "land."
The other ending is that they starred at him, told him to stop being ridiculous and causing a scene. They became angry in their hearts because they felt no urgency and pride took a front stance. They attempted to use their evil stares and words to discourage him and they refused to respond and pray. Men and women told their children to ignore him, and gossiped amongst themselves. There was no repentance, no response of healings, restoration, miracles nor revival from God...they did not humble themselves and pray....so God could not heal their land.
The urgent heart continued on time after time until one day the Lord spoke and said, "My son, I am grateful for your faithful heart to warn the people, they can never say my love was not extended to them nor can they ever say they did not know. This was your calling...to call them to me...and you did well my good and faithful servant, come home and rest."
The question to ponder is this, in your town today which ending to the story is most likely to occur...unfortunately just like my town, the second ending. May we respond differently tomorrow, it really could be the last day God sends an urgent, crying heart begging us to PRAY!PRAY!PRAY! By the way, this is not a hypothetical story. Selah.

How Many Loaves Does It Take?
It is amazing how less then 10 minutes reading 2000 year old scripture you can realize something completely new....it really is the living word.
I was reading through the book of Mark chapters 6 and 8 and was reminded of those that touched Jesus were healed and then read further to the miracles of the multiplying of food. I first paused at the fact that those who touched Him....were healed....so since I believe in Jesus and the works that He did I will do also (John 14:12), people who reach out and touch their belief and/or faith with mine...will be healed. Wow. So I meditated on that for a bit and prayed it over my life, " Lord, I agree with your word and who you say that I am, may those who touch me be healed. In Jesus name, Amen."
Then as I read Mark 8:17-21, I saw something within the words that I never saw. In one miracle Jesus and the disciples used 5 loaves (2 fish) to feed 5,000 with 12 baskets remaining and then later used 7 loaves (few fish) to feed 4,000 with 7 baskets remaining. This math caught my interests.
Why in one situation did he use only 5 loaves for 5,000 and had 12 baskets extra but it took 7 loaves to feed 4,000 and they took home only 7 baskets? Could it be possible that the Lord needs more, in this case miracles, to convince a small amount of people because of their belief or level of criticism and then they were only able to retain 7 baskets?
Lets look at the 4,000 as members of a congregation--all came to see a miracle and hear a teaching by Jesus but not all believe in their heart--then Jesus says , " we need a level 7 miracle for this group for them to receive but they only will need 7 baskets to give to others because that is all they will share". A disciple responses and says, " Lord, the last group only needed a level 5 miracle, there were 5,000 of them and they took home 12 baskets....why wouldn't this group do the same?" Jesus responds and says, " The 5,000 wanted more and believed in All of who I am so once the miracle began, they allowed me to do more with just a little and they were built in their faith and I knew they would take the remaining 12 baskets and share and share with everyone they encountered after. The 4,000 were skeptical in their hearts and more desired to prove me wrong then to allow me to share the truth, a level 7 miracle was needed to silence the skeptic and at the same time allow the believer with the smallest amount of faith to believe for more and would desire to share the truth of who I am. The 4,000 would only share 7 baskets full, they would wast the remaining 5 had I given then 12."
After receiving this analogy, I paused and repented. Lord, I ask you to forgive me for not believing you and though there is much I am convinced of and believe, help my unbelief (Mark 9:24) which comes from fears from past disappointments and help me to no longer believe lies that stand against who you really are. In Jesus name Amen.
Miracles is what Jesus did most as well as tell people and direct them to the Father God, so today Lord help me to be more like you....a miracle and a way to God. We can only come to God through Jesus the son and the beautiful Holy Spirit is our leader, teacher, comforter and truth that keeps our hearts in God.
May He need less loaves to show Himself true to your heart, and may He be able to trust you with more then 7 loaves to share. Selah. God loves your heart towards Him.

Happy Black LIFE History Month
This month will you pray with me that Black people both here in America and in Africa begin to make the changes to enable our "good" history to be seen?
History that increases the rate of healthy marriages and communities.
History that decreases (to zero) the rate of Black abortions.
History that causes our education levels to rise and our potential to be supported.
History that shuns illiteracy and discourages the watering-down of wisdom.
History that causes us to love each other again, love being Black and love the culture of life.
May that History repeat itself when we had more Black men in college then in prison and we had more Black women married with children then single mothers on public assistance.
I pray that each day 10,000 Black people remove the celebration of death and the things that destroy us as a people from their lives. And then the next day, 10,000 more. And then the third day 10,000 more until hope for life, restoration of family, healing of hearts along with the ending of Black abortions, ending of Black murder, ending of Black prostitution, pornography and sex trafficking, ending of Black drug and alcohol addicts, ending of poor mental and social health amongst Blacks...is the New Normal...a Black LIFE Epidemic. Where the hope to live, the desire to know and respect God and sustain life is our "good" History.
Thank you for praying, Happy Black LIFE History Month

Dear America, I am sure you did not know.
Dear America,
I recently came accross some information and I am sure you were not aware so I decided to write you this little letter.
Each year, for the last eleven, there has been an increase in the state of New York that has caught me off guard. The number of Black babies being aborted is greater then the number of them being born alive. I am sure you did not know because I am sure you would do something about it, right?
Anytime that there is something being taken away, in this case life, more then being allowed to live, there is eventually extinction. Just about every animal who has become extinct, at one point began to be exterminated more then being duplicated until the last one left was no more.
Since this is what is happening in your nation America, it looks like someone or something is trying to lead your Black people to extenction...I hope they fail. Don't you?
Well I am sure you did not know because you would have stood against this extinction campaign and stood for Life, right? You would have asked organizations such as Planned Parenthood, to stop strategically placing abortion clinics in predominately Black neighborhoods, right? You would stop supporting the causes behind why so many Black babies are being borned to young, poor unmarried women, right? And if you were not sure of some of those causes, you would take steps to seek out the truth so you could help bring the sustainable change that releases hope and life in to these communities, right?
Well I am sure you did not know, and I am sure you would do these things if you did know.
Thank you for reading my letter, it is great that you now know.
Sincerely yours,
A Lover of Black People, especially our Babies.

Well they say, knowledge is power, so maybe you did not have the knowledge and that is why you gave up the power of life for Black babies?
Well, God forgives those who ask, so then you are forgiven, congratulations. So will you now use this knowledge to release the power of life back into Black communities and families in America? I am sure you will.
Thank you for reading my letter, it is great that you now know.
Sincerely yours,
A Lover of Black People, especially our Babies.

His Call....My Response
Do you remember when you were younger out in the yard or all the way upstairs and you were called be a parent or elder relative? Do you remember how you held your breath to make sure everything around you paused so you could verify whose voice it was...and then respond quickly and respectfully?
Do you also remember as you walked to the direction of the voice, depending on who it was, pondering if there was something you forgot to do or if you were about to be invited into something new and exciting?
That was recently my thoughts as I watched The Call Detroit on 11.11.11 from my college flat in Scotland,United Kingdom. As I watched my friends, their friends, national and community leaders in America send a "call" out for the ending of abortion in our nation, healing and reconciliation between black, white and brown people and for re-commitment of our lives to the respect and love of God...I began to respond.
But wait...who is calling? Just like the analogy I used at the beginning, when you hear someone call your name - "you must analyze the call"- you must pause to realize what direction it came from, who sent it, its tone and what your response should be. Those on the platform, were calling not just on behalf of the need of the nation and for the protection of life in the womb, but they were actually calling on behalf of God's heart. God is pleased when we gather together in unity (Psalm 133), especially when it is to honor His word and His ways...He loves family.
As the historic 24 hour prayer meeting continued, I saw more and more black, brown and white faces encourage me by the sincerity of their hearts towards the goal of ending the decree of death, racism and compromise that has fuelled the separation of men and women's hearts from the truth, God and one another. Though I already walk towards this goal in my personal career and interests, this invitation stirred me to run. But I knew that before I could run...I would have to lay.
My response to the call...was to lay myself down humbly to pray to God for more of His heart, more of His strategy, more of His character so I could run with His burden, His wisdom, revelation, creativity and look more like Him then myself. I want to represent Him well.
So I analyzed the call...its a sound from heaven, it was from the heart and desires of God, it was the tone of urgency and need...my response....Yes, Father, I will partner with Jesus and the rest of my siblings and run. I will look up to your leading and lead others to your heart.
I will stand in agreement to the ending of abortion in America.
I will stand in agreement with LIFE, Truth and Healing in the lives--heart, mind and womb--of Americans-black, brown and white.
I will declare God's love, identity and promises into the lives of my fellow Americans until our hearts are convinced of all of His truths.
Today My Response is LIFE for my people...who are God's people.
Today the death decree ends like in Esther 8:8.
Today we write a new decree...today we decree LIFE.

No Compromise?...Then No Money
This is the right time.
This is the time we were waiting for, yet we did not know it.
This is the moment where we can "test" to see if God is faithful to His word...and watch Him fulfil the promise.
Take a now look UP on Africa.
For years it has been a nation continuously looked down upon.
Many eyes have beheld with sorrow as if the people of this beautiful land were incapable of anything significant and relevant. As if the only way they can be an "asset" to the rest of the world, is by way of the "helping" hands of everyone else.
So they believed this false idea and accepted it as truth and stretched forth arms to receive "help" and missed the opportunity to fulfil their own needs.
So it went on for years and then decades and Help...well it hindered development and progression. Help was almost like manna that the children of Israel received under the leadership of Moses...enough for the now...but not enough to build upon and feed generations to come.
The land was so beautiful and its people so genuine, wise and artistic yet the land became sick. it was strategically abused, violently raped and mocked at its lowest point. The people changes their ways of preserving culture, their ways of sustaining their communities and their ways of loving and respecting one another.
Change after change.
But now there is a new dilemma...those who "help" them say its to compromise. Its time to ignore your morals and cultural beliefs. Its time to officially disagree with God and accept the homosexual agenda. Legalize homosexuality and allow men to sleep with men and women with women. Yet, God has it written in His word,
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6: 9+10).
Christians did not write this in, He did, but those of us who believe and desire to honour God and His word wish that others would accept these truths and help to bring healing because too often the list above are outward solutions of an inward heart issue.
So if Africa, stand without compromise on this issue and "help" is limited...then its the right time for God to respond. Time for God to show that He is true to His word.
The land is sick with levels and levels of hurt, corruption, sin, despair and death.
There is a promise He made that we want to put before Him.
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. ( 2 Chronicles 7:14).
Its time to put His word to the test...He promised...therefore He will fulfil.
Father, we pray as Black people and intercessors from around the world, together, that you would remind your children--especially us of African descent--of these scriptures and your desire for men, women and families. Heal the hearts, heal the land, release truth, eternally silence lies and send revival to Africa and to African Americans throughout the earth. In Jesus name, Amen.

Christians did not write this in, He did, but those of us who believe and desire to honour God and His word wish that others would accept these truths and help to bring healing because too often the list above are outward solutions of an inward heart issue.
So if Africa, stand without compromise on this issue and "help" is limited...then its the right time for God to respond. Time for God to show that He is true to His word.
The land is sick with levels and levels of hurt, corruption, sin, despair and death.
There is a promise He made that we want to put before Him.
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. ( 2 Chronicles 7:14).
Its time to put His word to the test...He promised...therefore He will fulfil.
Father, we pray as Black people and intercessors from around the world, together, that you would remind your children--especially us of African descent--of these scriptures and your desire for men, women and families. Heal the hearts, heal the land, release truth, eternally silence lies and send revival to Africa and to African Americans throughout the earth. In Jesus name, Amen.
