**REPOSTED***
With
everything that is going on in the world today. It is time for us to
return to the prayers of our ancestors. As many of you will remember,
our ancestors prayers were not always "loving" or
"forgiving" prayers. Our ancestors prayers had a lot to do
with what they truly felt in their hearts at that time. For those of
you who are followers of the Bible, you have read David's prayers to
the most High God. David's prayers most often were to bring wrath,
judgment, destruction, even blindness to his enemies. David also
would ask God, "What do you want me to do? Do you want me to
fight them or?" David was always in prayer before he did anything he went to God in prayer.
Today,
in 2016 with everything that is happening in the world today we need
to get back to the prayers of our ancestors which also include the
prayers of David, especially those found in the Psalms. Directing our
prayers to what we truly feel in our heart. Sometimes it's hard to
express and we might just sit in the presence of God and sway or
moan, but when we have the words, ladies use them. Use your
words and pray in truth directly your prayers accordingly.
Psalm
145:18, "The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him,
to all that call upon him in truth."
If
you are not a praying woman and really don't know where to begin, and
this is new to you... here's a start:
Deliver
us from evil.
Did
you know those four words are very powerful words? You expect the
Father in heaven to deliver you from evil as the Lord's Prayer
states. Deliver us from evil or deliver my husband
and sons from evil.
As I stated, direct your prayers to the truth of today such as, Father deliver my husband and children from evil and make them invisible to the evil ones in blue. Yes, I said in blue. The evil ones in blue. We see what's going on in the world today, but yet, many are still choosing to be passive with their prayer life while all them is falling. It's time that we all direct our prayers accordingly. Everyday, throughout the day say a prayer, chant a few words or sentences from the Bible.

Ecclesiastes
Chapter 3 tells us that there is a time for every purpose under
heaven. Now is the time to keep you and your family, especially your
sons, spiritually protected under the wings of the most High God. The
book of Psalms is filled with prayers for protection and the
heartfelt prayers from David. David poured his heart out to God and
God always came through. He heard him and instructed him accordingly.
The
first two sentences in Psalm 94 below, says a great
deal. David is asking God to show himself. He understands that
vengeance belongs to him and in so many words David is asking God to
bring it on... shut it down. How many times did God show himself
in the Old Testament? Plenty of times. How many times did God say, "I
am the God of Israel" and their enemies were shut down? Plenty
of times. Why would God stop now? He's the same God!
Why not, instead of marching for justice with raised fists and loud words, try this:

Chant
for God to bring Justice from Psalm 94
O God
to whom vengeance belongeth show thyself.
O God
to whom vengeance belongeth show thyself.
O God
to whom vengeance belongeth show thyself.
The
above verses can be said/chanted whenever you see injustice. We've
seen so much injustice over these past few weeks. Why hasn't the
protest included these verses? No Justice No Peace is not relevant
for these times. When you really think about it, we're not at peace,
but the oppressors are. It's time to get back to the prayers of our
ancestors. We don't need raised fists or weapons of destruction
for we serve a mighty God who abhors wickedness.
I know this is different for many of you, but these are the times in which we live in. And for those of you who practice African traditional religions I haven't forgotten about you. The Boukman prayer below was said right before the Haitian revolution which was a victory!

Dutty
Boukman Prayer
"The
God who created the earth; who created the sun that gives us light.
The God who holds up the ocean; who makes the thunder roar. Our God
who has ears to hear. You who are hidden in the clouds; who watch us
from where you are. You see all that the white man has made us
suffer. The white's man's god asks him to commit crimes. But the god
within us wants to do good. Our God, who is so good, so just, He
orders us to revenge our wrongs. It's He who will direct our arms and
bring us the victory. It's He who will assist us. We all should throw
away the image of the white man's god who is so pitiless. Listen to
the voice for liberty that sings in all our hearts."
Some
may believe the prayer is racist or said to start riots or the like,
but you know what... it's a truthful prayer. It's a prayer that came
from the heart of a people who were... tired of the bullshit. And their fight was a
successful victory. Calling upon our Gods as oftentimes, more times
than not, led to success.
I
have heard a few say, "God is waiting on us." And could
that statement be true? As Trump would say, and I'm not a fan, "What
do we have to lose?" I have never heard us as a people call upon
God in a march or protest... why not? We're always
begging to be treated fairly, but yet we're a praying and spiritual
people, who rarely lift up our voices to God.
The
most High God has many aspects and we can't be afraid to call upon those
aspects. Now is the time, Ladies to direct your prayers accordingly
without fear. And watch your God work as His Word says and God's
Word will never return to you void.
Until next time.
Until next time.
