July 4, 2016
My Fellow Americans,
Today is Independence Day, but I did not feel like celebrating this year. I love America, but does America love me or people of my race? My heart is aching and I feel sad due to a wave of racist incidents that has been occurring in America and worldwide. I would like to discuss 3 reasons. First, I was saddened by the death of Muhammad Ali. I had a dream the night after watching his funeral that I had to write the truth. I usually do not have dreams about people, but when I do there is a message. I could not believe God would give Muhammad Ali an awful disease that took away HIS POWERFUL VOICE & PHYSICAL PRESENCE AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS ACTIVISM. Everyone seemed to accept his diagnosis. Why was he the only boxer to develop this awful disease? The answer is simple: Ali was a threat. He was indeed a prophet who loved his people. There was no one quite like him. I felt compelled to post it on Facebook. When I went on Facebook, there was a post there. The name of the article “MUHAMMAD ALI WAS SILENCED & MURDERED” at http://yournewswire.com/muhammad-ali-was-silenced-and-murdered/. I could not believe it. As I was reading this article, tears were flowing down my eyes because, it confirmed what I had dreamed about. This has been the case for me since 2008. They were trying to silence me and murder me by any means possible illegally/legally. I will not be silenced even with sores on the roof of my mouth. How would I get sores on my mouth? I did not have them before I went to sleep. Was it due to exposure of chemicals or radiation? Was I bio-hacked? Second, I am appalled by remarks made by so-called pastors about the Oakland shooting. I feel like people have forgotten that WE SHOULD LOVE THE PERSON & HATE HIS/HER SIN(S). I always ask the question: Many of these pastors should confess and repent of their sin of “hatred” and apologize to the surviving victims and their families.
Third, I read that now there is a petition to get Jesse Williams fired. What happened to freedom of speech? I was moved by his speech that I liked and signed up with The Advancement Project (DC) on Facebook. I did not realize that there is also The Advancement Project (CA). I am lifting up Jesse Williams and his family in prayers. I pray that people will join me.
Some of my ancestors were slaves and some were not. As an African-American woman, I do not feel FREE in America in 2016 based on what I have been going through “secretly” since 2007. America has not kept its oath that we are FREE as descendants of slaves since 1865. God knew I was struggling because I was thinking maybe I should be celebrating this holiday. Then, I saw a post called “Watch Morgan Freeman: The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro.” (http://urbanintellectuals.com/2016/07/04/watch-morgan-freeman-meaning-july-fourth-negro/), my eyes filled up with tears as I read this powerful, heartfelt, and truthful speech, which resonated with my spirit and soul. I cannot imagine what my people had to go through. The world will learn the unbelievable truth about the torture & persecution that I went through because “they” can.
God has called me to manifest the truth about two controversial issues. I will provide an in-depth analysis of both of them. I have done in-depth research, which will debunk any falsehoods. I will present the whole truth, not half-truths or what people want to hear. There will be nothing added or taken away about 2 things: They are (1) The Church and (2) The "Secret" Generational, Lifetime, Involuntary or Unwitting Human Subjects in America & International. We are in a spiritual war. Everyone will have a role to play whether you want to or not. It will require fasting, praying, blowing the shofar, and taking action.
I also invite you to celebrate International Repentance, Forgiveness, and Reconciliation (I.R.F.R.) Week, which begins on July 5, 2016; Prayer & Fasting Begins on July 7, 2016 for 3 days and 3 nights
Are you ready to see changes in your life, your family, church, community, and/or nation? I incorporated the adults because they are still holding onto resentment or anger from their past or childhood, which they have not addressed or fully let go by forgiving the person or people. As a result, they are committing suicides. They are bullies. They are unhappy, angry, or resentful adults. How could they teach their children or teens about how to forgive or the forgiveness process when they do not know how themselves. Who are teaching the adults about forgiveness or the forgiveness process?
We are celebrating International Repentance, Forgiveness, and Reconciliation Week starting on Tuesday, July 5 beginning with Repentance, Self-forgiveness and Reconciliation for Men. We want to bless the men & for men to bless other men (Numbers 6:24-26). We want women to pray & bless the men (Numbers 6:24-26). The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. (Note: I use pray the Aaronic Blessing/The Priestly Blessing with the divine names of the LORD: Yahweh and Elohim. I replace it with the children’s name(s), and other people’s names. Fathers and heads of the household should lay their hand on the heads of their children or families’ children on Friday night, which is the Sabbath just like the Jews.). On Wednesday, July 6, we want Women to do Repentance, Self-forgiveness and Reconciliation. We want to bless the women to bless other women (Number 6:24-26). We want men to pray & bless the women (Numbers 6:24-26).
ACTIONS FOR THIS WEEK FOR MEN & WOMEN: Many men and women have been deceived with false religions, doctrines, traditions, and doctrines of the devils. How can there be 42,000 Christian denominations worldwide? Do you see any of their names in the Holy Bible? Men & women, we want to help you develop a relationship with God so that He will know you. It will mean spending time with God for 1 hour or more a day. You can blow the shofar on the hour 1, 3, or 8 times, pray 3 times a day at least 1 time for an hour (include praise, worship, & blessing God with words, scriptures, and playing spiritual songs, hymns, or psalms), read the Holy Bible daily and bless others with the Aaronic Blessing/ The Priestly Blessing. We want people to be on one accord by sounding the shofar on the hour. If you don’t have a shofar, you can play the videos of the shofar being blown and play songs like Shifting the Atmosphere, If My People, & Let The Church Say Amen at http://www.manifestthetruth.com/blow-the-shofar--play-songs.html.
Join us by fasting for 1, 2, or 3 days and night starting on July 7. Pray the Prayer #1: The Saints’/Believers’ Commitment Prayer, & the different types of biblical fasts are discussed in the Biblical fasts and the Power of Prayer & Fasting can be downloaded at http://www.manifestthetruth.com/prayer-and-fasting.html. Pay your tithes and offerings (Malachi 3:8). You may need to catch up with your tithes for this year. God requires us to not come to Him empty-handed 3 times a year (Deuteronomy 16:10, 16-17). Many have missed the first 2 times, but I always made a donation on behalf for those who did not know to give during The LORD’s Feasts (Leviticus 23).
HAVE A "PRIVATE CONVERSATION WITH GOD/YAHWEH THROUGH JESUS/YESHUA BY GOING INTO THE "CLOSET". Go to a quiet place, like the closet or a room & lay on the floor. You may want to put a “Please Do Not Disturb” sign on the door or tell others that you do not want to be disturb. You can use a prayer shawl. This is your chance to talk to God and cry out to God. Tell God/Yahweh in the name of Jesus/Yeshua everything; your fears, mistakes, regrets, & problems. Surrender everything & ask Him to help you so that He will know you, ask the Holy Ghost to teach you all things to help you to align your life with the Word of God, mold you from the inside out so that you will do His will & purpose & you want wisdom and favor with God & man to win that trial or tribulation. If you are/were mad with God, you should apologize to God. If you did not trust Him, you should apologize to God. You can ask Him questions. This action of going into the “closet” to talk to God can be done as frequent as you like.
The weekday schedule starting on July 5th for the daily 1 hour International Worship, Praise, & Prayer calls will be 7 a.m., 8 a.m., 12 p.m., 1 p.m., 6 p.m., & 7 p.m. EST. The U.S. Conference Number: (605) 562-3130 & enter the Access Code: 104870# or 557452#. Each Access Code Holds 1,000 Participants. For the other 40ish countries, you can look for your conference number for your country in the table at www.ManifestTheTruth.com enter either Access Code 104870# or 557452#. The weekend schedule starting on July 9th for the daily 1 hour International Worship, Praise, & Prayer calls daily will be 8 a.m., 9 a.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m. & 7 p.m. EST.
The 2 hour Blog Talk Radio show will be held nightly at 9 p.m. EST on July 5, 6, 7, & 9 and on July 8 & 10 at 8 p.m. EST. The call-in number is 347-677-1955 or via the computer to chat at www.BlogTalkRadio.com/isam. The archived Blog Talk Radio shows can be downloaded at www.BlogTalkradio.com/isam.
The full schedule will be posted at www.ManifestTheTruth.com. We will discuss various forgiveness processes, biblical scriptures about forgiveness and using Jesus/Yeshua as a role model and pray repentance, forgiveness, & reconciliation prayers. We will include proposed actions that everyone can participate in even though they are not believers/saints.
It is time for the Body of Christ, Jews and Gentiles to organize. It is time for us to operate full-time, 365 days, 24/7 hours until Jesus/Yeshua comes. If we organize, we can win because JESUS/YESHUA NEVER LOSES. It will require fasting, praying, blowing the shofar, and taking action. We want people to fast 1, 2, or 3 days beginning on July 7. You can download the resources pertaining to fasting & prayer at http://www.manifestthetruth.com/prayer-and-fasting.html. I am asking everyone to Prayer #1: The Saints’/Believers’ Commitment Prayer posted at www.ManifestTheTruth.com. I will also include a prayer for breaking the curses on yourself (self-deliverance), generational curses, and curses off of objects, as well as, an intercession prayer to heal others and raise the dead.
I want EVERYONE who believes in Jesus/Yeshua to become highly favored, anointed and blessed saints/believers just like I am.
We are all connected spiritually, but many people are not confessing, repenting, forgiving, or reconciling. Apostasy is running rampant in many nations including America. During I.R.F.R. week, we are providing people with the tools to confess, repent, forgive others & forgive themselves by removing unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, grudges, resentment, betrayal, offenses, and/or hatred in order to restore joy, love, self-love, freedom & peace back into their lives, their families’ lives, their workplace, their place of worship, their communities, and throughout their nations. We want people to reconcile their broken relationships with family members, friends, neighbors, people in their community i.e. police, church leaders, church members and for many, it will be a time to restore their fellowship with the Heavenly Father and His son, Jesus Christ/Yeshua. (1 John 1:3). If someone is suffering from a disease, it has been shown that once the toxic emotions are removed from the heart, the person is healed. From a biblical perspective, we are commanded to forgive by Jesus Christ/Yeshua as stated in Matthew 6:14-15 & Mark 11:25-26. This is one possible reason why believers/saints are not receiving their blessings because they are being disobedient to the Word of God as it relates to forgiving others.
Life is not fair. Life can deal you some bad situations. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. I can attest to this as a “secret, lifetime, generational involuntary or unwitting human subject” in America. You cannot control anyone for what they do to you, but you can control what you do to others. In Dr. Ed Murphy’s book, “The Handbook of Spiritual Warfare” states, “Those who hurt you have their own guilt, but it is guilt before God, not before you. You are not responsible for their actions. You are only responsible for your reactions to their actions. People are always held responsible for their sins, even sins provoked by the unjust actions of others. Some people have become so accustomed to their self-pity, anger, feelings of inferiority, rejection; they really don’t want to change. For many, it has become an excuse for other sins, which they do not want to abandon. When you forgive and can really pray for the salvation and transformation of those who have hurt you most, you are on the way to healing. God moves in answer to the prayers of His saints. For example, a fifteen year old girl, the victim of years of incest on the part of her father, had come for counseling. As the Christian counselor brought up the subject of her need to forgive her father for the evil he had done to her, she reacted with anger against his suggestion saying, “Why should I forgive my father for ruining the first fifteen years of my life?” The counselor wisely immediately replied, “If you don’t, you will be allowing him to ruin the next fifteen years of your life.” What words of wisdom? The root of bitterness defiles many, Paul says. It especially defiles the one in whom the root is nourished (Heb. 12:15).”
WHAT IS FORGIVENESS?
Someone said, "Forgiveness is giving up the right to hate those who have wrong you." Forgiveness is a powerful choice you can make when it’s right for you that can lead to greater well-being and better relationships. (Source: The How of Happiness, by Sonja Lyubomirsky) Forgiveness is an emotional process of clearing past hurts so you can be free to live your happiest life as an adult or child. Researchers who study forgiveness and its effects on our well-being and happiness are very specific about how they define forgiveness. Psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky calls forgiveness “a shift in thinking” toward someone who has wronged you, “such that your desire to harm that person has decreased and your desire to do him good (or to benefit your relationship) has increased.” Forgiveness, at a minimum, is a decision to let go of the desire for revenge and ill-will toward the person who wronged you. It may also include feelings of goodwill toward the other person. Forgiveness is also a natural resolution of the grief process, which is the necessary acknowledgment of pain and loss.
