THE ANCESTORS

 

I don’t know if it is biblical but I hear the ancestors calling me. No, they are not demonic spirits! I hear, not audibly but via my remembrance of the lessons they taught.

Leviticus 26:45 King James Version

But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.

The ancestors, my ancestors, carried the promises of God in their heart and soul. What I remember, what I hear, is the moaning that was done in the church as they prayed and sang to their Creator. What I remember, thus what I hear, is my grandmother telling my brother to recite the 23 Psalm. What I remember, thus what I hear, is my other grandmother praying to God at night to bring her “home”. 

It is the ancestors that motivate me. Even my mother who made sure that before she left this earth I knew who my family was and where I came from. I hear their voices screaming because the next generation is forgetting and we cannot forget.

Deuteronomy 31:25-27 King James Version

25 That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,

26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the Lord; and how much more after my death?

There are legacies and then there are LEGACIES. I come from a people of hard workers, individuals who persevered despite their circumstance, and great faith. They did not subject themselves to the rules and boundaries of man. They, my ancestors, did not do what “they” said but did what they had to do to preserve the legacy that their ancestors had passed on to them. 

What have we done, what have I, passed on to the next generation?

Isaiah 54:13 King James Version

13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.  

Our children don’t have peace! They cry out for help. No, they are not asking for help they are searching for help. They are sexually promiscuous looking for that one connection which will make them feel like a whole person. They use drugs and alcohol looking for that euphoric feeling of peace and joy. They yell, they fight, they rebel because they are angry. 

Our American ancestors were angry too. They worked the tobacco and cotton fields motivated by whips and chains. And they sang of a better day when they got to “glory”. Our ancestors did what they had to do and they expressed themselves in song: “Swing low, sweet chariot coming to carry me home..”. 

 I remember sitting on a pew in my grandmother’s church, as a teenager, watching as my grandmother and the other ladies all dressed in white, stepped into the church singing: 

“We're marching to Zion,

Beautiful, beautiful Zion;

We're marching upward to Zion,

The beautiful city of God”

When the ancestors sang it was not about white prejudice but demonic oppressions. (Truth be told there were, and still are, people of all colors that try to slow us down from doing what we need to do.) As I watched the the ladies walk down the aisle to get in their position, as Deaconesses, in their clean white suits, stepping in sync with the beat of the song, in perfect unity with one another, I saw felt these women testifying without words. 

“Ain't gonna let nobody turn me 'round,

turn me 'round, turn me 'round,

Ain't gonna let nobody turn me 'round

I'm gonna keep on a walkin', keep on a-talkin',

Marching up to freedom land.”

My mother drew strength from her mother. As a divorced mother with five children to raise she pressed on. Like her mother she did not let other people’s opinions stop her. Nobody turned my mother around, she did it. She raised five children successfully (If I say so myself), influenced everyone of her grandchildren and a host of other children who had different mothers be blessed with her wisdom. My mother took the words and deeds of the ancestors and passed it on. 

I hear them. I hear the deeds, and words spoken in the past like a boomerang. They were sent into the future to this day October 24, 2021, knowing that I would hear them and catch the mantle. The mantle has been passed forward and I, we must pass it forward to maintain the legacy.

2 Kings 2:13-14 King James Version

13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;

14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.

Our, my, ancestors served the future generation by sacrificing personal pleasures. Yes, they had fun but they worked hard first. They left a legacy for all of us to see, a legacy to accept or reject.

The men in my family left tangible things. My father’s grandfather left land which was passed on to his son- my grandfather. I know very little of the properties acquisition history but I do know my grandfather died in 1978, my great grandfather died long before that. This family property still exist.

I write these words in my mother’s father’s house, built in 1975, this house has been in the family for 46 years. My grandfather was not an educated man he was a hard worker and this house was passed on to my mother, who passed it on to my sister. Whatever the circumstances of him being able to purchase it the point is he purchased it and generations later it is still in the family.  

As I come to the conclusion of this writing I believe the words of the ancestors have been released. There is a mantle that we have not taken up that we must pick up in order to continue the legacy.

Mark 8:34  King James Version

34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Faith in God through Jesus and our heritage go hand in hand. Not everyone wants to embrace this concept. Many people are following the words of man, because of his / her title, believing this is what faith is about. NO!  Our ancestors, loved the Lord with all of their heart and soul, they attended church, worked in the church, but trusted God. That was one of the last lessons my mother taught me before she died: Know why YOU believe. 

“How I got over? (How I got over)

How I got over? (How I got over)

You know my soul look back and wonder

How I made it over? (Oh yes)”

The ancestors have spoken- I can write no more. Marsha Lynnette Floyd

HOW I GOT OVER 

CANCELING A BLESSING

 I have learned to stop myself from saying: “I don’t care”. It seems whenever these three words preface anything I say afterwards they are wrong. The implication being: Whatever I am about to say or do is not the correct behavior or response but I am going to say or do it anyway. I should care, we should all care about what comes out of our mouth and what we do because of the consequences.

PROVERBS 6:2 THE VOICE

Then your words may well be the trap that snares you, and your promise may seal your fate. You can’t be sure to whom you hitched your future.

Normally I quote the King James Bible, The Voice presents a more succinct interpretation of the KJV: “Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.” Jesus told the Pharisees: 

MATTHEW  12:37 KING JAMES VERSION

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

We cancel blessings by not caring what we say, or do. 

MARK 7:13 KING JAMES VERSION

Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

LUKE 11:2 KING JAMES VERSION

And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

We are to speak and do God’s will not what we want to do or what man says we should say or do. We cancel blessings because the Word of God reveals His will yet we are determined to do things according to our own will. 

“I don’t care” we declare as we prepare to give someone what we believe he or she should get. Why do we say “I don’t care”? Because we know we should care. Our desire to inflict our will on someone else is greater than our desire to let it go and let God.

PSALM 19:14 KING JAMES VERSION

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

When we say: “I don’t care.” We are declaring: I don’t care what the Word of God says, I am going to say, or do, what I want anyway. We purposefully step out of God’s will to do our own will, thus stepping away from the blessings.

We are blessed to be a blessing (Genesis 12:2, 22:17). 

MATTHEW 5:44 KING JAMES VERSION

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

PROVERBS 25:21-22 KING JAMES VERSION

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.

Grab a piece of God’s word and release it.  When you walk away from an adversarial event instead of lashing out you win. When you pray for those who hurt you God’s mercy falls on you. It may not look like it in the natural but when you do not give a person “a piece of your mind” you are actually setting him or her up for the consequences of their actions. Your deeds become coals of fire that convict them and the door in which your blessings flow through. Releasing a piece of your mind releases death and curses into your own life.

DEUTERONOMY  30:19 KING JAMES VERSION

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

DISCOURAGEMENT CAN KILL YOU

 I confess: I fight being depressed, discouraged, feelings of uselessness, helplessness and loneliness but…

PHILIPPIANS 3:14 KING JAMES VERSION

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

One of the things that plague me daily is the discomfort I feel physically. The Apostle Paul said he had to “press” towards that mark because his body perishes. Lately, there have been many days when I did not want to.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:16 KING JAMES VERSION

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

How can I allow the enemy to bring ungodly spirits on me that stop me from pursuing what God has for me? By: listening to the wrong people, hearing words that are opposite of the Word of God and paying more attention to my flesh than the spirit that is in me. 

ROMANS 10:17 KING JAMES VERSION

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

What I hear will influence what I have faith in. I have shut out most news sources, but, I do listen to news sources that are not found on network or cable television. I hear a lot of people talking about their aches and pains and what their doctors are doing to make things better. I am not surrounded by nor do I interact much with people who trust God with all their heart, soul and body.  My world has become imbalanced with the ways of the world being more prevalent than the ways of YHWH.

JOHN 10:10

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

John 10:10 has become my 2nd needed verse in the Bible, Matthew 6:33 is my number one (Seek first the kingdom of God…). It is Satan, his demonic forces and those who allow themselves to be influenced by anything and anyone not of God (a.k.a. demonic influenced people) that will lead a person to depression, discouragement, feelings of uselessness, feelings of helplessness, and/ or feelings of loneliness. These emotions are steelers and killers of your motivation to live the life God has promised. 

1 SAMUEL 30:6 KING JAMES VERSION

And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.

Despite all the good David had done, the people wanted to kill him.  These people felt the need to make him suffer for their personal pain; misery not only loves company but it wants to make someone else feel worst. David turned to Yahovah Eloheem, the Lord God (1 Samuel 301-8).

I have to do what David did, not look at my past successes and have a pity party. I cannot do what the people did, try to make someone feel worst by putting them down, stoning them with negative words.

1 KINGS 19:11-13 KING JAMES VERSION

And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

How did Elijah overcome discouragement? He wrapped himself in his mantle and came out from where he was, in a cave. He had to leave the noise of the wind, and the earthquake and even the fire in order to hear the whispers of God. 

And God asked: Why are you here? 

Had David not sought the Lord God and given into discouragement he would have been stoned to death.

Had Elijah continued to hide in the cave because he was fearful of Jezebel, he would have starved to death. 

Why am I in this place of discouragement? Why am I focused on my discomfort? Because I have been focused on feelings and opinions. If I continue to listen to people talk about their aches and pains and the drugs they take; if I choose to ride the motorized wheelchair when I am in the store instead of walking; if I allow living alone equate to being lonely, then I will die slowly but surely both physically and emotionally. But Matthew 6:33 is my go to verse thus even in my growing despair I hear that still small voice saying: Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be given to me. I, like David, have to walk away from the voices of discouragement and be still so that I can hear only His voice. 

I remember what my Lord and Saviour did so that I could have an abundant life. I know I am healed because of what is written: 

ISAIAH 53:3-5 KING JAMES VERSION

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Jesus the Son of God endured 39 stripes so that I could be healed. Jesus gave us the victory over physical and emotional hurts. Yeshua, was rejected and despised so that I would not be depressed, discouraged, feel useless, feel hopeless or feel lonely. He who did not sin became sin for me (2 Corinthians 5:21) so that I could receive and live in the blessings of my Creator.  

1 CORINTHIANS 15:57-58 KING JAMES VERSION

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

I am writing this post for myself, I have to remind myself that I have the victory in Him. I have the Word planted in my soul. The Spirit of the Living God is in me and around me. I can be stedfast (persistant), unmoveable (unchanging in my faith in God), always abounding in the work of the Lord (living my life according to His purpose for me).  I am sharing these words with you because I know that I am not the only one.  There are so many people struggling today, so many of God’s children who are fighting and are growing weary but we have to press. The Message Bible (not one I go to often) expresses my thoughts very well: 

PHILIPPIANS 3:12-14 THE MESSAGE BIBLE

12-14 I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. 

In addition to remembering His promises. God has called me to eat right, live right and exercise. I am 61 not 16 but I want to run like a teenager; God wants me to be a healthy productive 61 year old woman. Getting my body in shape will take time and effort and I cannot let what I cannot do TODAY discourage me from going where my Creator wants me to go. If He says I can, I can; in fact, I can do ALL THINGS in Christ (Philippians 4:13)and I will walk without a cane and run too (Isaiah 40:31).

Finally: I am sharing Ephesians 6 verses 10-18 below but I want to make sure you read verse 13.  The Voice Bible reads as follows: “And this is why you need to be head-to-toe in the full armor of God: so you can resist during these evil days and be fully prepared to hold your ground.” We are in evil days and Satan is killing, stealing and destroying Gods’ children. Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might and you will have the victory. AMEN.   Written by Marsha L Floyd 

EPHESIANS 6:10-18  KING JAMES VERSION

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

DISTRACTED

Many are distracted by the cares of this world, myself included. It is easy to get so caught up in the busyness of life that we forget to be still and remember God. 

Mark 4:19

And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

The world is deceptive. We are told to “trust” the science while we hear the scientist. The scientist are manipulating the facts to ensure that the hearer false prey to the fear being woven within the words. The manipulated words of the scientist are  scripted to distracted the hearer from the truth found in God’s word. 

When I hear the “experts” speak I see the hollowness of their souls. The same is true of the television personalities who present “the news”- information the enemy of truth wants you to receive. Can you not see beyond the coordinated tearful words of the paid speaker? No. Most people cannot because they have been programmed to anticipate emotionalism.

Many pulpits inject emotionalism to validate a point. The use of crescendo and decrescendo in the deliverance of a message is prevalent among many preaching churches. Unfortunately, the loud cries heard by the parishioners is not about hell, fire or brimstone but a politically correct idea the church leader is promoting in a series. 

“The lust of other things” such as new phones, family vacations, bigger and better anything but knowledge of God’s way of living is promoted. From the pulpit to political platforms the word of God is being choked and the people are increasing in their suffering.

This nation, the world, has experienced many diseases and none of them have been so prohibitive; not AIDS, West Nile Virus, all of the Flu’s, SARS, and so forth.      The difference is the political platform and the pulpit came into agreement. 

God’s children became consumed by the words of the world. Christians started seeking material things: phones, cars, clothes, even fancy meals. God’s children transferred their trust in the source of their needs supply (Philippians 4:19) to government handouts. As confirmation that the government was more relevant than what ‘they’ had to say, church leaders shut down the doors of God’s house and allowed the television personalities to speak fear into the hearer of Satan’s words. 

There is always good news. There are churches out there who are promoting faith over fear. Their are men who have submitted to sharing the word of God, risking personal freedom. There are women who, like Deborah (Judges 4:4-9), are willing to lead people into the battle. More importantly, there are individuals who refuse to submit to the unconstitutional demands of individuals who do not believe in the Trinity. If you are going to follow the crowd follow those who are following Jesus. 

1 Peter 5:7

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

THE 60'S LIFE: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

IS GOING TO A CHURCH BUILDING EVERYWEEK IMPORTANT?

I do not have a church title but I do have thoughts on what is written in God's word. In this video I discuss "assembling"

 

STRONGHOLD ON AMERICA

 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 King James Version

The reality of what is happening in America has been discussed in the Bible. If we look in the natural we will respond naturally- with anger, hate, sadness, depression, joy (?) and such ideological behaviors. 

The physical attributes to the spiritual manifestation of a heavenly battle is not clearly understood by many Believers. 

I have to explain “Believers”. I just Googled the question: How many Christians are in the word today?  According to Google there are 2.5 billion Christians based on 2020 data. I submit to you, prove me wrong, that most of these “Christians” are not Believers of the Bible, but they seem to have a form of godliness…

2 TIMOTHY 3:5 KING JAMES VERSION
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

If you are going to deny aspects of God’s word found in Scripture then you will be ‘denying the power’ found within the Holy Word of God- you re not a Believer. Believers are sold-out, fanatics, Jesus Freaks, individuals who really believe God can do anything!  However, there are Believers do not understand spiritual battles because they were not taught how demonic forces operate indirectly in the lives of people; we are ALL learning. 

HOSEA 4:6 KING JAMES VERSION

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Far to many Believers do not know that they do not know. Many Believers in God through Jesus the Messiah have trusted their church leaders who themselves are ignorant. Please, do not be insulted or defensive; to be ignorant is to not know and we all have some level of ignorance, lack of knowledge. The consequences of our ignorance is why we are in the mess that we are in now.

As Americans we have trusted our government because it was founded on Judeo-Christian values. Unfortunately, because our focus gradually went from seeking God to seeking material things we did not see the serpent ease his way into our midst; we ignored, rejected, the teachings of God’s righteousness for God’s blessings. 

Just like He knew what would happen in the Garden of Eden He knew what would happen to America.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:13 KING JAMES VERSION

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

America is being destroyed but it will not be completely destroyed. Because we have an Intercessor who has already paid the price for our sins. 

ROMANS 8:34 KING JAMES VERSION

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Believers believe 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, 1 Corinthians 10:13 and Romans 8:34. Millions, if not billions of Christians doubt God can turn things around (Hosea 4:6).

It is a stronghold, a grip Satan and his demonic forces have on many people. I tell people: The science may be real but the interpretation of the scientific data by these scientist is flawed.  True science will NEVER disagree with God’s Word. In order to break the stronghold that is within you, you have to believe God’s word is true.

ROMANS 3:4 KING JAMES VERSION

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

I believe that America is making a comeback now. We are not “building back better” we are making America great again by returning to our Judeo-Christian values. God is not going to allow Satan and his demonic forces to destroy His children. If Satan were to win there would be no one for Jesus to return to come get; there could be no rapture if there are no children of God to rapture. 

That said there will be Christians who get left behind in this wave of blessings that is getting ready to sweep the world. Christians are looking for the “Return of Trump” to save us but God is bringing Trump back as a vessel he can use so that He can save us. Remember: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) Only God can pull down these strongholds that plague the United States of America and the world and He has. 

ISAIAH 42:8

I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images

ISAIAH 48:11

For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.

I believe, therefore I have written. Marsha L Floyd

NOT A PART OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY

I do not get offended when people tell me: “You sound White.” I take this as an opportunity to explain - the language I speak is the King James English, the American version. or was I offended when I was told: “You need to turn in your ‘Black Card’; I took it as a compliment. I am not part of nor do I want to be a part of the “Black Community”. DON’T GET MAD…..read on!

There are so many stereotypes associated with being Black and I have no desire to be part of any of them. It is important for the reader to understand that I don’t like being part of those “Christian” stereotypes either. We are all individuals and should be treated as such.

I stopped watching Tyler Perry’s “Madea” series not because I did not like them but because it bothered me that his success was based on a Black person acting a fool. I didn’t like Good Times, or at least the character Jay-Jay, but I watched it regularly because it tried desperately to break some of those stereotypes; Mr Bookman was annoying too! 

I was watching an ad recently, it was a product produced by one of the William’s sisters, it was a seductive ad. Why do Black women have to promote their sexuality in order to achieve…” (Ms. Harris, a woman of color; ALLEGEDLY!) 

Yes! Beyonce’ is a very beautiful woman. I hear young girls and women want to be just like her- not the smart side but the dressing provocative side. SMH!!!

It bothers me that one of my grandsons wants to grow up to be a rapper and not a rocket scientist. Single mothers want their sons to grow up to be professional basketball or football players not corporate executives.

Within the Black Community (NOT ALL) there are women who see having babies as a financial plan. There are churches who will help the women fill out the forms to get subsidized housing, food stamps and even health care while preaching giving your tithes and offerings is the key to receiving from God. In the Black community, women sell the food stamps for cash. In the Black community, women allow others to claim their children on the tax return in exchange for a ‘kickback’. 

In the Black community (NOT ALL) crimes are being committed in broad daylight with not one witness. I can’t be a part of that. 

There are so many ‘things’ associated with the BLACK COMMUNITY that has allowed liberals to justify promoting Critical Race Theory, a bunch of bull shit! Liberals have determined that, based on what they see in the Black Community, Black folks are to ignorant to be anything but comedians, athletes, entertainers. 

For those of us who have left the Black Community and decided to: work hard, ignore ignorant prejudice people, pray for our family who don’t understand why we do what we do, and live our lives with a purpose, we love our brothers and sisters of the same pigment we just cannot be a part of the stereotype. 

NOTE: I know people of other pigments have similar issues.

As they say: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and getting the same results when you are trying to solve a problem. Many people of color could have remained loyal to the pigmented community and voted for the Black politician, complained about the police, ignored the crimes, enjoyed life smoking dope, and making babies until we died but we knew there was more. We began to do our own research, we began to follow the real successful people- Black people were rich but White people were richer. We went to the seminars, the workshops and read the books. Rich Dad- Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki was a game changer for many people. We began changing the people we associated with, people who were doing what we wanted to do and they became our mentors. We changed because we stopped doing what was not working. 

I did a video discussing my relationship with the African American community (see below). There is a difference between not wanting to be a part of the stereotype and not like people- liberals get this concept twisted regularly.  When I say: “I am not a part of the Black Community.” What I am declaring is: I WILL NOT BE PART OF THE LIBERAL STEREOTYPE OF HOW BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD ACT. Did you hear me? I love people of color, even the unsaved ones.    Written by Marsha L Floyd  

 

A WEAKENED AMERICA

 

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.     1 CORINTHIANS 1:25  KING JAMES VERSION

It is my opinion, the United States of America has lost the respect of every nation both near and far. It is also my opinion that the policies of this current administrative regime has weakened us, both militarily and financially. We have had bad leaders before but never has any President, Vice President and Speaker of the House been, collectively, so corrupt and ill equipped that the sovereignty of the nation was questionable, until January 20, 2021.

It is further my opinion, the United States of America will overcome. My beloved country is under a spiritual attack- has been since its’ inception, but God still has children within its’ borders. It took decades to influence church leaders to be more like the world instead of having the world influenced by the church. Once the church compromised it was easy to get the politicians to ignore their moral obligations. It took time for Satan and his demonic forces to influence a people whose motto is “In God We Trust” to turn their back on the God of their trust.  Despite the degradation of the church and the corruption of the political system America will overcome. 

God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33), or chaos. Many believe the chaos we see is necessary to get to the utopia they seek; it is not referred to as utopia, they speak of justice.  This justice “they” speak of is more like “just us” or just the people who agree with their ideas. Christians who believe in Scripture as it is written, and not as some want it to be, are sentenced to legal purgatory. 

What does legal purgatory look like? It began with taking prayer out of school. It progressed to promoting abortions in low income neighborhoods. It continued by telling parents how to discipline their children and teaching children that if their parents spanked them (not abused) they could report them to the “authorities”. Telling business who they had to do business with and telling churches what they could not preach is when the legal purgatory should have become obvious to all.  Legal purgatory is the ability of a government to enforce hellish rules on its’ citizens.

Today Christians are told they have to call men women and women men. Today parents can change the gender identity of a child but still cannot spank them. In some communities today, it is acceptable for grown men to be in a sexual relationship with boys. Today, people think it is cute for toddlers to dance provocatively. Satan and his demonic forces boldly discuss killing babies at 40 weeks gestation as if it was standard operating procedure. Is this not purgatory, hellish rules? 

To think that what is going on in America is about an immoral perverted White male who resides in a house that represents authority, and the children of God are impotent with no ability to resist, is to not see what is going on in the heavens. God is Alpha and Omega, He established the end in the beginning. He knows what is going on and how He is going to fix it. But we keep getting in His way. 

We knew, should know, that all that is needed on our part is to be humble, repent and ask, instead we keep trying to fix things ourselves. But, now we are tired, worn out, battle weary, weakened. It is written:  

2 Corinthians 12:9 King James Version

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

When a group of people or an individual declares: I cannot win. That is when He  parts the sea; cause a wall to fall; or have 10 thousand able bodied soldiers leave (Deuteronomy 32:30). Because God is able to do what man cannot do.

1 Samuel 17:47 King James Version

And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands.

Yes, America is weakened but God is not. I believe the process for a turn around has been established and now the takeover begins.
