My vision for the Jewish future, as an African-American Christian, who formerly worked every day in the Jewish community, may NOT be much different than yours...!  "Vision" inherently references the 'bigger picture' of what our perception and perspective allows us to "see" and "be". Hopefully, with a goal of playing a key role in helping to bring the vision of all of our hearts to pass; my contribution as an "outsider" in certain respects - does not limit the impact of my intentional investment amongst Jews! I'm sure you're wondering, 'How could this be?'...'You're NOT Jewish?'  Well - my connection to the Jewish world is founded in my early upbringing, but more importantly in the historical significance of Jewishness, upon my life, the world abroad - and in the life of every true Christian that honors TORAH, the Prophets, etc. - and, Jesus Christ - Our Messiah! When I envision "community" fr...

"Transparency through public repentance" must be modeled in the near future for the embarrassing scourge of many Christian leaders to be used by God as a healing agency in the universal Family of God! As an image-conscious generation, we've swallowed the pill of self-importance and popularity without immediate consequence; so we think God has winked at the blaring dysfunction and fleshliness in our midst! Well, Pastor, 'What about God restoring those leaders?' I am SO glad that you asked me that question! When, and if, they decide to confess their faults to the multitudes that have been affected by their actions - God will HEAL and RESTORE , whoever that leader may be! By the way, that's the reason so many leaders "Can't get the people past their mistake"! It's STILL news! SELAH . WS-3

Have you ever made a declaration or pronouncement about something, and it happened - but you really didn't even notice it; and somebody else had to reveal it to you; "Hey-look, the tree is withered, FROM IT'S ROOTS!" Hallelujah!   That's what is must have been like for Jesus in His earthly ministry! It was "common", and therefore "expected" for powerful manifestations to follow His words - the LIVING WORD personified! What about you? None of us are so powerful that we can speak "good", walk cross-wise or in direct conflict of our confession (crookedly) - and then expect rose bushes to come up instead of our thorn-bushes when the harvest arrives! It's HARVEST TIME - your emergency confessions won't work now; better just sow some "good seed", and cry out for God's mercy! SELAH . WS-3

"Spiritual Warfare" is more about the condition of the heart than some random demonic attack leveled against you, since the church often teaches us to believe that way..." "Ephesians 6", is the backdrop for understanding the nature of Satan's kingdom, and clearly communicates the proper "dress" for walking in our authority, by overcoming the evil one. But, the key in discerning what the "armor does", starts with understanding the influence demonic attacks can have against our hearts and minds! Since Satan is "already a defeated foe", as we consistently walk in - and take our authority in Christ, based upon our agreement and alignment with God's word; we should be able to appropriate or enforce the finished work - and trample over serpents and scorpions, and over ALL THE POWER of the enemy. The "kingdom suffering violence" is about the necessity for total surrender and abandonment to the will and purpose of ...

If you've "sanctified" the use of the gifts or tools that God has given you, don't trip when He "regulates" the use of them for purposes that honor Him only! YOU are not your own, so His jealousy is like a spiritual monkey-wrench to the child of God, as He refuses to allow the perversion of His endowment upon your life through conflicting purposes - that glorifies the kingdom of darkness instead! Don't call Him LORD unless you mean it! WS-3

"Concentric circles and cycles of dysfunction" is simply understood by the old adage that says "misery loves company"; and when you add familial bonds, soul ties, and doctrines of demons to the equation - it's really hard for people mired and steeped in it for years to WAKE UP or come out of it! The Isaiah 61:4 passage that represents Jesus' Messianic assignment and commission in his earthly ministry, and subsequently our role as His Body - is the only remedy and solution to what we've seen prevalent in our generations. Repair is only possible when the "anointing" is really present! WS-3

It amazes me how blessed God's Chosen People, the Jews really are, in spite of how disproportionately they're represented in the world. With unparalleled accomplishments in almost every major field of business, finance and science, as well as frequent international recognitions; I'm not provoked to envy or jealousy - but to deep contemplation. Statistically, even practicing Jewish families don't have the devastation that many communities have - like our Black families do! I don't question "why", its obvious; it's God's covenant blessing upon them! But, right now I am moved to say - "Let's learn from them, TODAY!" WS-3
