The Odyssey

Greetings in the Lord! It's been funny to me how the Lord has been talking about the United States and of her educational/political/linguistic heritage descending from the ancient Greeks. While many of my studies over the years had included these (I was a politics major with science, math & education classes), I had never really thought about how much of our culture had been impacted by Greek mathematicians , doctors and philosophers. Imagine too, how surprised I was when the Lord started to teach me about some of the demonic strongholds in our nation as having their roots in Greek mythology and paganism. Weird stuff. Actually, when I realized that the apostle Paul had evangelized in much the same environment , I got a better understanding of what the Lord was talking about. So, when the Holy Spirit quickened my spirit with this prophetic word, I was able to understand where He was coming from and appreciated its relevance all the more. He said this, "Just as Odysseus wa

I Look to You

Greetings in the Lord! Well, the summer is over and fall always zooms in like a whirlwind. I've had so many things to write about lately, but honestly, have gotten out of habit of writing as I felt this summer it was imparative to finish up on my book...btw, it will be available on Amazon.com in a couple of weeks! :) So, now with only finishing details left to go, it's back to sharing with all of you some of the things that have been going on. On September 1st, as I was editing one of the chapters in my book, I came across a prophetic word the Lord gave regarding His love and earnest plea to Black American celebrities for them to return to Him. He said this, in the summer of 2005: “Return to Me, O My children! Return to Me! Whitney, sing for Me! Run for Me, Ricky! Denzel, My son, come back to Me. Puffy, it matters not what is on the outside but let the inside be clean. Return to Me, My children! BB, play for Me!” After I read that I saw an online article about Whitney Houston p

Political Participants Not Bystanders

Greetings in the Lord! Recently the Lord had me read Mark 12:13-17, then again for emphasis, Matthew 22:15-22. Both passages tell the story of Jesus being set up by Pharisees and the Herodians by their asking him, "Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, and he asked them," Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied. Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." While there are many things to be gleaned from that story, I immediately discerned by looking at the pile of "junk mail" I'd received from political organizations that the Lord was asking me to start sowing financially to some of these organizations. Why? Because they are stepping in and speaking out where the
