During these times, in which we find ourselves: I'm propelled to focus on these biblical words. "And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places; thou shall raise up the foundations of many generations, and thou shall be called 'The repairer of The breach, The Restorer of the path to dwelling in" Isaiah 58:12 it seems the streets in the communities-of-neighborhoods are 'Ancient Ruins" and a rebuilding process is in order. We find that Justice is absent; righteous does not reach us; we look for light, but all is darkness; look for brightness-but we walk in deep shadows, closely a-kin to the blind-we grope along the wall-feeling the way-like we have no eyes; when we seek justice, none is in sight; look for deliverance-but it is far away. Just know this: Righteousness can and will sustain-if we put on his breastplate-and the helmet of salvation-wrap oneself in a zeal-as in a cloak, find the secret place-walk in love-agree in heart-meditate and fast in the faith, enter into the Lord with fervent, effective, and persistent prayer. We must relentlessly lift him up, glorify him, magnify him; worship and praise him, In Jesus's name...! Then get up and embrace a "Call To Action" GO Forth! As you listen for God's Instructions, Practice his presence and keep him in 'Front-of-mind-consciousness' Amen

I'm inclined to speak utterances to the 'power of wisdom': As we reflect on the teaching of our ancestors-let our hearts honor our mothers & fathers-it shall bode well for longevity for blessings for years of life. Happy for we who have gotten knowledge, and discovered wisdom, but in all your getting-it a must to acquaint ourselves with clear understanding & comprehension. Know This: Wisdom is more profitable than silver, and the gain it brings is better than gold; and more precious than red coral {which i.e. is copper}. inspired by The proverbs of Solomon, Son of David; and King of Israel....#GOFORTH# And do good. While the focus on>Practicing The Presence of The Lord.. To Insure that it shall serve to "Order your Steps, and Also Direct your path".

Strive to be as strong as possible; one must be on a quest to grasp the vicissitudes of bravery. This effort shall be both resolute and tenacious within the indomitable pursuit to obtain the aptitude of smartness. Know that you are feared by those different than you, but you are more loved than you have been told. There is an enormity of conclusive insights and intel that the obstacles, conflicts, challenges, and roadblocks you’ve been through on the path of the journey are clearly evident. Such storied happenings of ill-treatment encountered in life still yet need to be heard. These ushers in the annuals of history called “Critical Race Theory” which needs to unfold and be incisively and stridently told.

 MIRACLES IN THIS MODERN-DAY ERA

The insights and Intel happening of what is called a “Miracle”

During modern time things that happen beyond the human self and/or belief on most occasions is surmised to be an enigma, meaning, it’s considered a mystery or something that is unfathomed

During such a happening the words that are usually exclaimed, are Impossible, unbelievable, extraordinary mystery, unreal, surreal, etc.,

Know this: In the Kingdom of God happenings that are not usual, unfathomed, extraordinary, or unbelievable, such matters are the natural manifestation of God’s Power, His love and His Mercy, and His Grace-all working together indirectly or directly through fervent persistent prayer or through intercessory prayer, indeed it is God’s Modern Day Power to manifest such an occasion to cause ‘Miracles' to happen. And when it does We Give God The Glory, Hallelujah! Praise His Name

 RELATIONSHIP The BIBLICAL CONNECTIVITY Where two becomes one…


Inherent in the process of relational building and development is the embodiment of “Purpose’. Often times we think that things or events just happen to us in life. However, when on the path of the journey of life we encounter an enormity of teachable moments. Such learning occurrences tend to lead us where God wants us to be.


It is very important to both examine and evaluate all situations as potential ‘divine appointments’ that hold the proclivities to design and shape one life. Just for a moment reflect on all the good and bad circumstances that have affected you lately. Can you possibly glean through the uncanny ability to discern God’s purpose in any of such situations and circumstances? Perhaps He is making the building of a certain quality in your life leading you to become, all He created you for and intended for you to be 


From the Biblical perspective, it is revealed that after God created the firmaments of the Heavenly and Earthly Galaxies. There was the presence of every plant of the field and every herb of the atmosphere of the field, on the face of the earth, before it grew, and God caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the soil, but God created a mist from the earth, that watered the entire face of the soil upon the earth.

      

And then, He stoops down and scooped up dusk from the rich fertile dirt of the ground-The Lord God formed the first creature known as ‘Man’-He breathe into man’s nostrils The Breath of Life. Thus Man became a living soul-he was made in God’s image and after His likeness-and, God called him Adam.


God place Adam-the Man He had formed from the rich fertile dirt of the ground in the garden of plants and herbs. Which became known as the Garden East of Eden? Then God created every beast of the field and every fowl of the air-where He brought them to Adam and ask him what name he would call them. And whatsoever Adam called them that became the names thereof; Adam Named:

All the cattle on in the earthy realm

All the fowl of the air

The creatures of the sea

And every beast of the field

All of them were in pairs of two 


God knew, and Adam was suddenly aware there was no help meet for him. Without any hesitation, the Lord God induced a deep sleep to overcome Adam-and as he slept God reached inside the inner recesses of Adam's body and took out one of his ribs, closed the flesh of the wound, and from the rib God made a creature of different gender of a human being image and brought her unto Adam. And Adam proclaimed, “This is  bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh, she shall be called “Woman”


Know that all of God’s created works were not complete until he made woman. He could have made her from the dusk of the soil of the earth, just like he did Adam. However, God chose to make her from Man’s flesh and bone without the aid or through the process we know as the birth of another woman. 


Such a created process is an illustration that in a wedded union of marriage man and woman emerges as two and symbolically becomes one in the flesh. Therefore, the efforts and commitment should not be a mere focus on friendship, but more of a strident focus on “Oneness” 


The nutriments of relationship building and development should encompass both the attributes of Nourishment and cherish as focus attention on the woman. This serves as edification for the full emergence of her persona. Because she the woman, is the special one to be nurtured, cherished, and prepared. This inherently brings to bear the significance of what is accomplished, which serves as being spiritually focused and directly related to the relationship held, enjoy,  and embodied with the creator. Which is the advent of “Oneness’
