Dear God...

Oh great; wise, and good God! I ask that you order my steps and direct my path. Because, I cannot make it through the day without you and the strong arm of protection you provides.

MY Belief and Relationship With God-My Source of Higher Authority
I believe in God- cause I count Him, as My Ultimate Source.
I have Faith in God as my Source of Higher Authority, Because "God Is Love". When I was a child My parents and grandparents taught and embedded in me that I belong to God, Why?, cause during those days of Jim Crow laws, in the 1960's ,which consisted of separation of the races, segregation, racism, prejudices, conflicts, challenges, encountered, that {I, & siblings} had to grapple with the manacles of the chains of severe and harsh discrimination. We had no where to turn but to go within and pray, meditate, and commune with God. This brought about inside "Joy" Peace, Deep Inner Peace, Contentment-as well as, Spiritual Balancing and Centering as the focus was on The Ultimate Power, of Grace and Mercy-The source for the Nature and Character, thus the connection to God.
Which served to sustain and allow the opportunity to overcome those inhumane CHALLENGES, CONFLICTS & OBSTACLES.
I was consistently told and reminded about the advent of the 'Ant-Christ'-{False Prophets}the one who would come to be dead set on; to deceive, steal one's joy, and bring about distractions, drama, etc, that would take away one's consciousness from-keeping God in"Front-of-Mind-Consciousness. I, and my siblings; { 10 brothers 7 sisters}were taught to beware of such folks.
We were told that we would be sure to Identify the good one's within the marvelous light vs the one's from the darker side {secular world}.We were alerted to be on the look out {as we we were told} for those who practice the 'fruits of the spirit' i.e love, Joy, Peace, Happiness, etc. These would be the one's with the attributes which consisted of the character and nature of God.
My siblings and I had come to posses the imprint of God's Spirit within us and that would be the key for us to identify the enemy from the darker side, i.e drugs, crime ,violence, gang activity. The spirit of God provided that powerful hedge of protection to resist the those enemies of the secular world who would were destined to reek havoc in one's daily spiritual walk of life.
I, and my siblings were constantly told: "We must love each other. Because love came from God, WHY? God is Love. The Epitome of Agape Love- Is God's Inclusive. And As we learn to Love one another-it showed that we had been given, 'New life' to be equipped, empowered and readied to sacrifice and forgive others and to be forgiven...
The two commandments that I adhere to; as it is given to me; Love the atmosphere that is created for me by the source of Higher Authority, and to always Love each other because the spirit has been given to dwell within me for such attributes and traits of the humanity-of-genuine-efforts.
LOVE ABOUND TO ALL
By all means practice the 'Fruits of The Spirit" Love, Joy, Peace and Happiness....
Blessings
LUV U ALL

Intel & Insights About The Vicissitudes "Hate and Anger"
As we take note of'; and look at the plight of dissident behaviors, turbulent-state-of-despair, confusion, miss-understanding, injustices being perpetrated on others of a different belief-this has caused unrest across these United States, and even the nation and the world, i.e., the activities of certain radical alt/right groups.
It is trending toward creating both violent and toxic behavioral patterns that is lending itself to expressions of 'hate and anger', whereas; it's targeting specific culture of the population who tend to be different culturally and hold other views concerning the status and equality of humanity.
As 'anger' is exhibited and displayed, it can become acid, because it has the propensity to do more harm than good. In particularly, the vessel of the human where it is stored, rather than anything on which it is poured.
Thus 'anger' is a transitory emotion-it has no place to live or exist. All of it's efforts goes against the grain and is a drain to the totality of all available healthy human energy. In the biblical words of Solomon, "It is all vanity, Vanity of Vanities". In a word; all for nothing, just wasted energy.
Those who labor under guise and promote the dis-order of 'hate and Anger', usually has come from the syndrome of "troubled childhood":
~Has experienced some sense of being afraid and shame
~Borders under the pointing of the finger of 'Blame & Shame'.
~Has low self-esteem
~Has sought a sense of belonging-but was none found
~Feelings of dis-connected from other human beings
~Tend to drift toward a direction that encompasses the attributes of the 'Anti-syndrome Genre'
~I.E. tend to be against others who are different that they are; and tend to have low regards for all other humanity
They tend to be in search of an allusive type of "Pride and Honor" such as:
~Something or someone to look up to hold in high esteem
~They tend to become an easy target for violence, & crime, which involve gangs, and/or some type of other radical groups.
~Just know: even boredom has a higher emotional rating than hate and anger, Because of the advent of "Feeling and Emotion" one may tend to experience along the way-the creation of something that just might have the proclivities to dispel the thought-of-consciousness of hate and anger.
Therein, lay the answer to the question: Can those be reached who are be-riffed w/hate and anger. Based on my prior experiential encounters, the answer is yes! In my latest book: "The Road That Is Difficult To Travel" Included is a thread that runs through the below denoted details.
The focus has to encompass:
~The search for hope
~Find/Discover an enormity of ways to cope
~Embrace, the comprehending and the understanding of "Forgiveness" for self and others
~The totality and essence of the key, is the awareness, and feeling and emotion-for the Joy-of-Healing, which is the new beginning for the connection and/or re-connection for 'compassion' for all of Humanity.
In a word, this is the essence for the new beginning, Renewal, Restoration, Deliverance, and Redemption, and to be in a right Relationship with All mighty God, In The Name who is The wonderful Counselor, Jesus the Christ. Amen...

The Focus is Change...
When we consider the historic annuals of time; regards things such as insights, and Intel-being not as they were; and/or not being the way we are most accustomed to them being. This is both a distilling and defining moment of truth for 'Change' in transition to another manifestation for some new and different ways applicable to life.
Change is inevitable during the daily walk of "The Journey of Life". Albeit; the advent of change by definition often times encounters a measure of resistance. It takes on a contrasting lie; with a bit of distorted knowledge; touted with some difficulty for good people to discover and/or find their 'truth north' of 'what' and 'why' or who to believe, or whom they might trust, and how to live life righteously. Moreover, when everything they thought to be true or real-wasn't.
It is during this juncture when the 'what' and the 'why' of one's being takes center stage in consciousness. It becomes an ever present 'front -of-mind-consciousness'. -to discern the truth.
A consideration is; the notion of the 'what'-(just a reminder;) The Heavenly Father-sent his only begotten son. Then, let's focus on the 'why'-he was sent by the Heavenly Father-to pay the ransom for all sins, to wipe out the debt, and create the chance for change, so all humans could have the right and/or privilege to be in a 'right relationship' with the Heavenly father.
Now let's go back and re-focus on the lies. Those lies, does not have any chance to never supersede the 'Power' or the 'will' of the Heavenly. Just know this: Jesus shall once again descend to the Earthly Realm. When he does, he will possess 'All Power'! Love must and shall again reign and rule supreme over Fear.
Be cognizant, of what change really is....?
~It has the propensity to move people out of their comfort zone
~It changes what was once thought to be, real or true may not be relevant-based on the foundation of core values-as some untrue, hta was merely a twisted truth.
~Change may cause a shift in thought of consciousness-what once was-may not be anymore.
~The balance of truth, power, and reality that once was; might just upset the balance of 'what' and 'why' regards the Intel-we once knew..
Ultimate and Effective Change has been ushered in to be the order of the day; for a new and different way. - Say hello to; and embrace, 'Change'...
