Ephesians 4:26 says, “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.”  This passage of scripture teaches us that it is okay to be angry, but sin not.  That is, be angry, but do not allow evil spirits such as the, spirit of revenge-spite, spirit of jealousy, spirit of unforgiveness, spirit of fear, spirit of anger-rage, spirit of hatred, spirit of cruelty, spirit of strife, spirit of contention, spirit of competition, spirit of envy, spirit causing division, spirit of murder, etc. to enter your heart."...Resist the devil, and he will flee from you," James 4:7.  Try to resolve your anger before the sun sets. This might sound impossible, but it can be done with forgiveness, prayer, fasting, and meditation.

Touch not mine anointed, do my prophets no harm, Psalm 105:15.  We mainly think of this phrase as a warning in reference to Old Testament prophets or present-day ministers who stand for truth. It appears to be a declaration of God's protection over his servants especially his anointed ones and his children who love and obey his holy divine will for their lives. But the context of the warning reveals a further meaning. It also has to do with a covenant God made with Abraham. In the covenant, God promised to give Abraham title to the land of Canaan:

1. In Genesis 12:1-3, God told Abraham (formerly called Abram) that he wanted him to get our of his country, away from his family, and his father’s home to a land he will show him. And after God told Abraham he would make of him a great nation; bless him; make his name great; be a blessing; and that all families of the earth would be blessed. God told Abraham he would bless them that bless him and curse them that curse him.

2. In 1 Samuel 24:10 after David was anointed King of Israel he feared for his life and was hiding from the former king, Saul because he wanted to kill him. David had an opportunity to kill Saul, but he did not because he did not want to harm God’s anointed.

3. In Psalm 105:15 the word says, “Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm." This brief verse contains a powerful warning from our Lord. And he means every word of it: woe to any nation or individual who lays a hand on those who are chosen of God. And woe to anyone who does harm to his prophets. This severe warning has a dual application. First, the "anointed" and "prophets" here refer to natural Israel, God's people of the Old Testament. Yet God's warning not to harm his chosen continues to apply today. It also covers his spiritual Israel, that is, his church.

These bible verses refer to the Israelites, but it also refers to the children of God, especially those who have been anointed to perform a specific task for God. The above verses also tell God’s children who are doing all God has commanded us to do, will know that God is with us always and will protect us in all things.

What is the Anointing?

The process of becoming anointed (blessed, co3nsecrated, sanctified, ordained).  An anointed servant of God is one designated or set apart for a certain holy office or to perform a specific task for God.  The anointing is the process to anoint an individual for his or her divine destiny.  Anointing can be performed physically and/or spiritually.  The physical anointing is performed with oil by smearing the oil on the person's body or head, 1 Samuel 16:13a.  The spiritual anointing is performed by the Holy Spirit; that is, gifting the individual with all spiritual gifts necessary to perform their divine destiny, 1 Samuel 16:13b.  David was anointed both physically and spiritually for his divine destiny as King of Israel.

1 Samuel 16:13a & 13b, " (13a) Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: (13b) and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah."

​

Dr. Evangelist Billy Graham

Evangelist Billy Graham requires no introduction.  He was known all over the world for proclaiming the word of God to all.  And he stood in the presence of many dignitaries.  In the midst of all the fame and recognition, he remained a humble man, who just wanted to be called "Billy Graham."

When I was ten years old.  I received my very first bible from him, it was The Living Bible Paraphrased.  When I was baptized, my grandmother gave me my very first King James Version Bible.  I still have both bibles today and cherish them very much.
 

Whenever Billy Graham was on television or the radio, I would always stop what I was doing to listen.  One day he held a crusade in my home town, Sacramento, CA.  My dear grandmother and I found a way to see him.  When he called for alter prayer, I was very young, but felt an urge to get close to him and went forward for prayer.  He prayed for me.  I will never forget that day.  It was so precious and awesome.  As I think back, I felt the anointing fall upon me.  My pastor, who I loved and respected very much, could not command my attention in the way Evangelist Billy Graham did.  I am forever grateful and thankful to have been prayed for by "Billy Graham."

I thought about what you said at Billy Graham’s memorial service.  You stated that your father took you to see Billy Graham as well.  The Holy Spirit reminded me of Israel’s King David.  So I read 1 Samuel 16 and I began to see similarities between you and King David.  Here is what the Holy Spirit showed me:
 

The Anointing of King David​
Jesse sent for David, and the Lord (the Holy Spirit) told Samuel to arise and anoint him, for he is the one who shall be King of Israel.  As Samuel anointed David with the oil in front of his brethren, the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward.
 

The Anointing of President Donald Trump​
The Holy Spirit spoke to your father, Fred Trump, instructing him to take you to the Billy Graham Crusade so he could bless and anoint you for your divine destiny as President of the United States.  As you sat listening to Billy Graham and hearing him pray, how did you feel?  In my spirit, I believe Billy Graham prayed a prayer, unknowingly to him or your father, that was directed at you and at that point you were spiritually anointed before your brethren; those attending the crusade.  You were not anointed in the physical like David, but anointed you were spiritually.  How did you feel.  I bet the Holy Spirit fell upon you, but, like David, you did not understand what was happening.  Think back President Trump.  How did you feel while you were listening to Billy Graham?
 

The day you went to The Billy Graham’s Crusade was a divine meeting orchestrated by God to put you in position to be prayed for and anointed in the spirit and be filled with the Holy Spirit. You have an anointing on your life.  You were born with it.  But at some point, you were anointed by one of God’s Anointed Children, Billy Graham, under God’s instruction.
 

This is why there is so much opposition against you.  Satan hates God’s Children, especially the anointed ones.  They have anointed power to fight against Satan if they know how to use it.  They have spiritual gifts, given to them, by the Holy Spirit.  Life experiences teach them how to sharpen those gifts for God’s glory and honor and reap bountiful blessings upon them making them very successful in all they do.  And that is you, President Trump.
 

So, please never worry about the negativity being thrown your way.  Because you are a winner; you were born a winner.  Now say Thank You Lord, Glory Hallelujah, which is the highest praise we can give God. 

Be Blessed

I know you are concerned about Texas, and   are trying to show your concern to America and the world, but be not   alarmed. It is all a part of prophesy, God is sending his signs. I said this in a previous message to “tweeterville.” The solar eclipse was not the end, the coming of Christ, but the beginning of things to come, the Anti-Christ. I also said America needs to wake up and   pay close attention to the word   of God (the holy bible) and see how aligned the world is with bible prophesy.

You think   the words “Make America Great Again” came from you, no Sir, it came from  God. Make America Great Again truly  means makiE America Great Again in   the eyes of God. He loves  America and has favored her beyond all, because of her love for him, but over   the years she has forgotten her first love, God, and went against his  commandments. The word says, we shall   first love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and secondly, we shall love  our neighbor as our self. And on these  two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Everything that is stated in the bible  stems from these two commandments. 

36 Master, which is   the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy   God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and   great commandment. 39 And   the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two   commandments hang all the law and the prophets,” Matthew 22:36-40 (KJV).

If you look throughout history you can see America turning her back on God little by little and going against his commandments. And it’s getting worst and worst every day. Our God is a God of love. He loves us so much that he gives us free-will to or not do what he commands us to do. But there are consequences with disobedience. He loves us so much that he gives us signs of future judgement if we do not wake up and realize we cannot make it without him. God being omniscience; that is, all-knowing, saw America drifting on a downward spiral, so he created you (our modern-day Moses) and anointed you. In Jeremiah 1:4-10 (KJV) the bible says this of all God’s anointed children, those he created unto himself to carry out a specific task, his secret weapons against Satan, those he knows will complete their task no matter what. God has a plan for everyone’s life, but special plans for those born anointed of God: 

“4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. 6 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 7 But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. 9 Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.”

Satan has his hand over your mouth and all that you do only for a while. God sees him and eventually will be removed. All it takes is for one sincere prayer to go up on your behalf and touch God’s heart to break Satan loose and his evil spirits against you to be cast out. This is not said to give you a big head or for you to stick your chest out, stay humble, but to help you understand your divine purpose and why you have so much opposition, even from some brothers and sisters in Christ. It is said to wake you up so you can get yourself in position to do the will of God. Now give God all the praise, glory and honor, by loudly saying “Glory Hallelujah.” That is why it is so important for you not to waste your time responding to what you see in the world, negative comments from whatever the source may be, because you know who they are coming from and you know where they are coming from, the root cause of the negativity is Satan. Satan knows who you are and your purpose. He has not disclosed this to those he is infecting with evil spirits of anger, lying, jealousy, envy, fear, blindness, hate, greed, pride, bitterness, murder, sorcery, unforgiveness, and other evil spirits assigned against you. Satan wants to get you out of alignment with God’s will. So, he can keep America blind. How sad Satan quickly forgets who is in control of all things or he knows, but don’t care because he knows in the end he will be thrown in the fiery pit of hell. 

President Trump, you did not become president by a mistake nor did you become president because of anything you did or said, sorry to tell you this. But jump for joy and praise God, you became president, because of what God wants to do through you for America. Your desires for America is his desires for her. But we must get America back on her feet and acknowledging she need to return back to God. You need to leave Texas, she will be left in competent hands, there are trained groups and individuals who will do what is necessary to help her. You need to go to your praying place as often as you can for the Holy Spirit to fill you with God’s divine instructions for America, Israel, and the world. And don’t forget the “to do list” I keep reminding you of, the REMEMBER LIST. It is so important for you to hear God’s voice and none other. God wants to tell you things that he cannot reveal to any other human being. God is waiting patiently for you to seek his guidance and direction through the Holy Spirit, all you have to do is ask. You have not because you ask not, James 4:2 (KJV). God will not force his will upon anyone, you must want his help because of a deep desire in your heart, mind, and soul and literally ask him for it. Remember God wants us to love him because we want to love him, not because he made us love him. God will never make us love him. He will always love us and show his love in various ways, but making us love him he will not do. Think about it, no one wants love that is forced, we want love that comes to us freely with no strings attached. The love Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (KJV). The love spoken of in John 3:16 (KJV), “16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” All he wants us to do is love him, he has our back in every situation, to trust him for everything, and lastly obey him. He will not tell us to do anything that will hurt or harm us. Only to bless us. But know there are consequences for not keeping his commandments. Again, God is no different than we are, because we were made in his image.

God has given us prophesies to remind us of his coming so we are not complacent and forget. He allows certain things in our path to wake us up so we can see the writing on the wall and seek his guidance in order to be ready for that great day. Wake up President Trump, you have work to do. Don’t worry about what you see or what is being said. Look to God for all your divine instructions, trust your instincts (the spirit of discernment), and you will “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” and “GODLY AGAIN.” You can’t lose serving, trusting, and obeying our Heavenly Father, the true and living God. “31 …If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31b (KJV). If God be for you, President Trump, then who can be against you? No one can stand against the Lord our God. They won’t win no matter how things may seem to appear.

Matthew 5:3-12

​3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Paul, called to be an apostle dedicated to spreading the gospel, was inspired to write an epistle to the Romans.  An epistle is a treatise written in letter form to be read to a group of people.  A letter on the other hand, is written to an individual.  In the epistle to the Romans, Apostle Paul states, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”.  Paul was trying to convey to them no matter what happens in life; no matter what Satan sends their way, it will work out for their good and God’s glory, if they continue in faith and obey God.
 

Now, if the bible teaches us in Romans 8:28 that all things work together for good to them who love God and are called according to his purpose, to them who exhibit God their love, to them who obey the word of God, and to them who believe his word to be true, then why fret or worry about “evil-doers” and try to get even.  You say that God is in control and yet you think you know more than God about handling or punishing evil-doers.
 

Before I proceed on the subject of evil-doers, I need to define the word “evil-doers."  An evil doer is an individual who performs evil deeds assigned to them by Satan through demonic spirits.  In other words, evil-doers are puppets Satan uses to accomplish his dirty evil deeds in his effort to block the will of God.  If you don’t know, Satan is a spirit, he relies on his demonic spirits such as the spirit of jealousy, spirit of unforgiveness, the spirit of fear, spirit of murder, spirit of revenge-spite, spirit of anger-rage, spirit of hatred, spirit of cruelty, spirit of strife, spirit of contention, spirit of competition, spirit of envy, spirit causing division, etc. to be transferred to individuals who have given Satan a toehold in their lives.  That is, individuals who have invited Satan into their lives by disobeying the word of God and/or his will for their lives.
 

Another important fact about Satan, he is not all present, everywhere at the same time (Omnipresent), he is not all powerful (Omnipotent), and he is not all-knowing (Omniscient).  He uses his demonic spirits to go out and eavesdrop in order to collect the information needed to steal, kill, and destroy God’s children.  Then when he has what is necessary, his human puppets are given their instructions on how to carry out the attack.  This is why in 1 Peter 5:8, we are told to “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion about, walketh, seeking whom he may devour.”  Satan isn’t as smart as some think.  Most of what he has on us, we give to him freely.  We must always walk in the spirit; that is, with the Holy Spirit as our teacher and guide.  With the Holy Spirit we will know when Satan is near and how to deal with him.  Utilize your spiritual gifts especially the “spiritual gift of discernment.”  This gift will let us recognize Satan’s handy work every time.  And when we recognize him, don’t just walk away, let him know he’s been caught and that you know what he’s trying to do.  Talk back to him using scriptures applicable to the situation.  “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart,” Hebrews 4:12.  Before each verse of scripture used, say “IT IS WRITTEN.”  Satan will flee when he hears the word of God.  James 4:7, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”  Don’t be afraid of Satan, stand boldly, strong, and confident before him wearing the spiritual “armor of God.”  The loins girt about with truth, the breastplate of righteousness, feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit; that you may be able to stand against Satan and his evil schemes (Ephesians 6:10–18).  “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell,” Matthew 10:28.  This scripture is letting you know that Satan has power to destroy, but God has almighty power to destroy the body and condemn the soul to hell.  God is in control of all things even Satan.  For more information revisit web pages Spiritual Warfare: Satan and Salvation: Satan.
 

And I digress.  Back to the subject at hand, “evil-doers.”  Point, evil-doers are Satan’s puppets.  John 8:44 tells the evil-doers, “Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
 

The bible further defines evil-doers as “workers of iniquity,” that is, they are wicked individuals who deliberately cause harm and suffering to God’s children under Satan’s command.  Evil-doers’ ultimate goal is to block the will of God for his children by stealing, killing, and destroying (John 10:10) all that is godly and good.  Evil-doers, workers of iniquity, are the children of Satan, they do his bidding.  In other words they work for him; they are his puppets.
 

There are many biblical scriptures that teaches how to deal with evil-doers.  My favorite is Psalm 37 where God tells his children to fret not because of evildoers, nor be envious against the workers of iniquity, because they will soon be cut down like the grass, and wither away.  They will reap what they’ve sown.  When time permits, I recommend you take the time to read Psalm 37 in its entirety.  Instead of fretting over evil-doers, God instructs his children he calls “the righteous” to do the following: 

1. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
2. Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 
3. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 
4. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 
5. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: 
6. Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 
7. Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, they shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 
8. Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

Judgement for the Wicked

In Psalm 37, God tells us what will happen to the evil-doers, workers of iniquity, and the wicked. 

• The evildoers shall be cut off and you shall see them no more. 
• The wicked plots against the just and gnashes upon him with his teeth.  The God shall laugh at him: for he sees his day is coming. 
• The wicked have drawn their sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay the righteous, but their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken and their arms shall be broken. 
• The wicked shall perish. 
• The wicked borrows and does not repay. 
• The seed of the wicked shall be cut off. 
• The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him. 
• When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.
   

Treatment of Evil-Doers
Matthew 5:43-47 teaches us how to treat evil-doers.  “43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?”
 

In all that we do, we are to represent our Heavenly Father well.  We are his representatives.  In Matthew 5:48 the word says, “48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”  And non-Christians are watching our every move.  How are we to draw others to Christ if we behave and talk like Satan’s representatives.  Moreover, how are we to enter the kingdom of God if we disobey the teachings of our Father, which clearly shows how much we love, honor, or respect him.

When someone comes to me with “gossip” I usually run the other way, because it always leads to trouble. Check out this VIDEO (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKybDdGHZHE). My definition of “gossip” is when an individual(s) discusses personal or private information about another whether the information is true or false. The bible defines a gossiper as a talebearer or whisperer; one that spreads secrets or rumors.

Gossip is spread by wicked people; they stir up trouble and break up friendships.

“He that goeth abo ut [as] a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips,”

Proverbs 20:19.

God tells us in His Word that the tongue has incredible power. We can speak words to build up or to tear down. We can use our tongue to bring “blessings and life” or “curses and death.” The saying "sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me" is not true.  The choice of words we speak can help or harm. What we speak defines our life outcome. What we put out into the universe returns back to us. If we speak good positive words, then those words will bless our lives and possibly others. If we speak evil words, then those words will result in a negative outcome.

As a man thinketh, so is he.

Proverbs 23:7

As a man speaketh, so he’ll be.

Patricia Kelly

The Bible has a lot to say about the words we speak. To get help on how to use our tongues, we must ask the Holy Spirit to help us control our tongues and the right words choice of words to speak in order to bless and not curse ourselves and others.

Our tongues can be the most difficult thing to control and leave us with great regret if we use our words to hurt.  But there is hope!  The Bible tells us that with the help of the Holy Spirit we can have power and control over evil devices such as our tongue. The following bible verses about gossip and the tongue teaches us how to use our words to bless and not curse:  

· In Proverbs 6:16-19 the holy scriptures states that there are six things the Lord hates. Seven are an abomination to him:

1. A proud look

2. A lying tongue.

3. Shedding innocent blood.

4. A wicked evil heart

5. Individuals that run to mischief.

6. Being a false witness.

7. A person that causes discord.

· In Proverbs 12:18 the bible tells us that individuals who speak evil, their words are like a sharp sword that pierces the heart of its listeners. Those who are wise and speaks wisdom transfers good spiritual food and health to its listeners.

· Life and death are in the power of the tongue. We have the ability to speak blessings and life or curses and death, Proverbs 18:21.

· Anyone who is cautious about the words they speak will not reap troubles in their life, Proverbs 21:23. 

· In Matthew 12:36-37 the word says, “36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” We will be made accountable for every word spoken good or bad. 

· It’s not what we put in our mouths that corrupts a man, but the words he speaks that corrupts him, Matthew 15:11.

· In Matthew 6:21 the words says that where our treasure is there will our heart be. Luke 6:45 the word says A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: So whatever is in a person’s heart will generate words of the same nature. If a person speaks good then his heart is good and his words will be good and positive. If a person speaks evil then his heart is evil and his words will be evil and negative as well.

· Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers, Ephesians 4:29.

· Let your words, spoken or written, be filled with courteous goodwill and wisdom to all you encounter, Colossians 4:6.

· If an individual claim to be a Christian, a follower of Christ, and does not know how to take control of his spoken words deceives himself and his words reveal he is not religious and all he is teaching and sharing with others will be unsuccessful, James 1:26.

· A tongue that cannot be tamed is unruly and evil and spread deadly poison everywhere, James 3:8. Remembering when you share good positive words you are serving good health (mentally, physically and spiritually) to your listener.

· To reap a blessed happy life, you must not desire to do evil, be sly or cunning, actions do not match words, desiring what someone else has or speaking evil of someone, 1 Peter 2:1.

· Never be a fighter or speak evil negative words about anyone, but be kind, gentle, and show meekness to all, Titus 3:2.

IN CONCLUSION

Anyone who loves life and desire to see good in their life, then speak positive good words and not negative evil words in order to reap many blessings. 1 Peter 3:10. To do this successfully you must always remember the following:

· Don’t participate in any form of gossip.

· Walk away from gossipers.

· Lean to keep secrets told to you.

· Avoid individuals who love to gossip.

· Apply biblical scriptures teaching against gossip.

· Avoid many of your troubles, stop gossiping.

· Inform your friends you do want to gossip.

· When you hear gossip, ignore it.

· If you are a Christian, a follower of Christ, exhibit this behavior at all times.

· Don’t pass along gossip.

· Avoid television shows, movies, videos, etc. that gossip about others and have no way to validate their statements.

· Spread the positive and not the negative for good mental, physical, and spiritual health.

And remember: 

· “A dog who brings a bone, will carry a bone.”

· “You play with trash it will get in your eye.”

· “Play with a puppy it will lick your mouth.”

· “Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.”

Legacy is defined as something passed down or received from an ancestor or predecessor.  The object being passed down could be financial, character, wisdom, godliness, name, trustworthiness, honesty, integrity, etc.
 

A legacy can be positive or negative.  If the object being passed down is positive; such as legacy of love and legacy of respect, then it will reap bountiful blessings for the receiver.  But if the object being passed down is negative, such as legacy of hatred and legacy of jealousy, then it will reap negative consequences for the receiver.
 

The bible tells us to leave a good legacy for our children: 

• In Proverbs 13:22, “A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.”
• In Proverbs 22:1, “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.”
   

A good man not only leaves his inheritance for his children, but he leaves behind a good name as well.  He leaves a financial legacy and legacy of godly character, so that the inheritance, what ever it may be, is used to the glory and honor of God; leads to the fullfillment of the will of God, and is not flundered in riotous living; in things of this world which may lead to a legacy of pain and suffering.
 

The legacy is not determined by what people say about an individual.  And certainly not by those full of hatred, jealousy, and envy spreading lies about an individual in order to destroy their character, but it is determined by the true character of the individual, shining brightly from the dept of thier heart and soul outwardly through their speech, actions, and body language.  It is an unconscious act of exhibiting christlike character such as the fruits of the spirit or unchristlike behavior that no one can filter out.
 

What type of legacy do you want to leave your children? One that blesses their lives or one that brings them painful consequences.

Loyalty is standing by someone you care deeply about even in the darkest of times.  Loyalty does not only go from the bottom to the top, for example from an employee to the employer, but it can go from the top to the bottom as well, from the employer to the employee.

When a person is loyal, it does not mean they agree with everything that is said and done.  They may have their own opinion on certain matters, but never voice their disagreement, especially publicly whether in writing or verbally.  They always stand supportive in public.  When given the opportunity they will discuss their opinion and pray the individual will see their point of view, but if not, they will remain silent and supportive, especially in public.
 

Qualities of a loyal person are:

• They treat you like a person.
• They tell you what you least want to hear.
• They never criticize you in front of others.
• They disagree in private.
• They totally support your decisions and you in public.

The bible has a lot to say about "loyalty."  When the bible teaches us to be obedient servants, it is teaching us to be loyal servants to God.  When we are obedient we show our love for God and love our neighbor as ourselves.  Loyalty exhibits our true commitment to God through his son Jesus Christ.  As we vow to be loyal to God we should be loyal to others as well.

​​​Bible verses on loyalty:

• Mark 12:29-31, “29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  There is none other commandment greater than theses."
• John 15:13, “13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

​​​​Persecution Defined
In the ENGLISH DICTIONARY, Persecution is defined as an unfair or cruel treatment over a long period of time because of race, religion, or political beliefs (Source: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/persecute?s=t).  Wikipedia defines Persecution as the act of persecuting, the state of being persecuted, or a systematic mistreatment of an individual or group by another individual or group because of their religious, ethnic, social, or racial group. To pursue, annoy or trouble consistently with harassing or oppressive treatment. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution).
 

In the KING JAMES BIBLE DICTIONARY, Persecution is defined as the act of persecuting; (1) to pursue in a manner to injure, provoke, vex or afflict; to harass with unjust punishment or penalties for supposed offenses; to inflict pain from hatred or malignity; (2) Appropriately, to afflict, harass, or destroy for adherence to a particular creed or system of religious principles, or to a mode of worship; and (3) To harass with solicitations or importunity.  (Source: https://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-dictionary/persecute.html)
 

The Bible teaches that those who follow Christ and God's Word and those who practice his commandments will be persecuted.  A godly testimony will often result in ridicule, scorn, deprivation, persecution, rejection, insults, physical harm, jeered, mistreatment, torture, jailed, flogging, etc.  Jesus and his disciples were subject to ridicule, persecution, and insult.  The reason persecution exists is because evil opposes good.  When the Holy Spirit is present in an individual and the person meets an individual with an evil spirt, there will always be conflict.  And the evil spirit will always oppress and persecute a child of God.  The bible teaches us that the world hated Jesus and persecuted him and his disciples and if they hated him, they will hate us as well.  Those who are living a godly life style.  The word says in Matthew 5:11-12, “11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”When you encounter persecution remember it is just a test; a test of your faith in God and obedience to God.
 

Faith and Obedience
Every negative thing that happens to a child of God is a test of our faith and obedience.  The two-go hand in hand.  You can’t have one without the other. 

• You Show your      faith in God, by being patient and waiting on him, “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the      LORD,” Psalms 27:14. 
• You Show your obedience to God, by obeying God’s command; being still and letting him work on your behalf.  “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth,” Psalms 46:10.
   

We are also told to walk by faith and not by sight.  Our faith should not be determined by what we physically see around us.  In James 1:2-3 the word says, “2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”  Trials and temptations are tests.  So, the word is saying be happy; be joyful not sad or down-hearted, when tests, trials, and temptations come to you.  You must be doing something right when Satan takes time to knock on your door.
 

Reaction to Persecution
Everyone has been persecuted at some point in their lives for whatever reason.  And the natural instinct is to retaliate, take revenge, confront those who persecute us, or take matters into our own hands.  But this is not what the word of God teaches us.  In John 15:20a the word says “Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you.” So if we are true followers of Jesus Christ and he was persecuted, then we will be persecuted as well.  More over if they did it to the prophets before us, then we can expect them to do the same to us, Matthew 5:12b.
 

The Obedient Response

Be Rejoiceful
In Matthew 5:10-12 the word ways, “10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”  In these three scriptures the word of God is telling us:  
 

1.    We are blessed when persecuted fo​r doing the will of God.
2.    The kingdom of heaven is ours when we are persecuted for righteousness’ sake.
3.    We are blessed when men say all manner of evil against us falsely for serving Jesus Christ.
4.    We should rejoice and be glad for great is our reward in heaven.
 

In Luke 6:22-23 the word says, “22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.”  Again, the word tells us to rejoice and leap for joy, when we are persecuted, because they did it to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and the prophets before us.
 

Love Your Enemies
The word of God tells us to love our enemies, bless them that curse us, do good to them that hate us, and pray for them which despitefully use us, and persecute us.  Matthew 5:43-48, “43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
 

The Vengeful Response
I know you are sick and tire of the constant harassment or annoyance, and feel you must do something to stop the attacks.  But you must not strike back at your persecutor(s).  There are several scriptures in the bible that tell us we must not seek revenge: 

• Leviticus 19:18, “Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I [am] the LORD.” 
• Deuteronomy 32:35, “35 To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things      that shall come upon them make haste.” 
• Proverbs 24:29, “Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.” 
• Matthew 5:38-39, “38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye,      and a tooth for a tooth: 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” 
• Matthew 26:52-54, “Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his      place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. 53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?” 
• Romans 12:17-21. “17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things      honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Take the issue to the Lord in prayer and let him deal with those who persecute you.  You just continue doing his will, continue believing and trusting in him, and lastly continue obeying him.  Be an example for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Show the world you are bigger and better than your accusers and persecuters.  Take the high road, not the low road.  Show them who you represent and be a light to the world.  In Matthew 5:13-16 the word says, “13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
 

Let God fight your battles. He knows when where and how to seek revenge on those who hurt or persecute his children.  And you are one of his children.  Don’t dirty your hands trying to get back at those who persecute you.  When people say something to you or about you, continue to smile and let the light of the Holy Spirit shine from the inside outward.  Let them see God’s radiance, love, and kindness.  This sends a very powerful message that you do not care about what they do and say to you. And you would be doing it God’s way.  “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord,” Romans 12:19.
 

And when you pray, remember to forgive them that persecute you and pray that they know and understand that we all are sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus.  Mark 11:25-26, “25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
 

God is willing and able to bring you out of any situation victoriously, but you must exercise your faith and obedience in him and learn to do the following as well:

​Be still – “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth,” Psalm 46:10.
 

Be faithful – “Trust in the Lord, and do good,” Psalm 37:3.
 

Be obedient – “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.  For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb,” Psalm 37:1-2.
 

Be patient – Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass, …Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it, Psalm 37:7, 34.
 

Praise God – “Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart,” Psalm 37:4.
 

Walk with God – “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass,” Psalm 37:5.
 

Do Good – “Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil,” Psalm 37:8.
 

Be peaceful – “Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace,” Psalm 37:37.​ 

​​​The Biblical definition of pride is not any different than the dictionary definition of pride. Here is a clear definition of what pride is: Someone who is prideful is haughty, arrogant, and full of pride. When you're prideful, you have a big attitude and act like you're better than other people.  A prideful person acts superior and looks down on others. Prideful people are disdainful, haughty, overbearing, gloating, and obnoxious.

To take pride in an accomplishment or take pride in your work is not necessarily wrong. The kind of pride that is wrong from the bible’s standpoint is the feeling of being superior to others or thinking that most people are stupid when compared to yourself.  The bible shows the outcome of that kind of pride: “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall,” Proverbs 16:18.

Rather than being prideful we should hate that quality as stated in Proverbs 8:13, “The fear of the Lordis to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.”

The Merriam-Webster's Dictionary/Thesaurus defines "froward" as:  "habitually disposed to disobedience and opposition." Synonyms are:  "defiant, disrespectful, ill-mannered, impolite, impudent, insolent, rude, disobedient, headstrong, etc."

God calls "being froward" an abomination. “For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous,” Proverbs 3:32. The word "froward," by itself, is found in twenty-four verses, twelve of which are in Proverbs. The phrase "a froward mouth" appears three times in the Bible, all of them are in Proverbs:

· "Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee," Proverbs 4:24.

· "A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth,” Proverbs 6:12.

· "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate," Proverbs 8:13.

The cure for a "froward mouth" is found in Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

In addition to a “froward mouth,” God also mentions he hates seven other things some of which he considers an abomination in Proverbs 6:16-19:

1. A proud look.

2. A lying tongue.

3. Hands that shed innocent blood.

4. A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations.

5. Feet that be swift in running to mischief.

6. A false witness that speaketh lies.

7. One that soweth discord among brethren.

Pride can be deceptive.  The proud person takes the way most beneficial or profitable for him, but he does not consider things from God’s viewpoint.  The bible encourages us to be humble and meek and not to be feeling that we are better than others. “3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others,” Philippians 2:3-4.  “Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder.  Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble,” 1 Peter 5:5.

Prideful and haughty people put themselves in opposition to God and that is not a good place to be. If you are looking at yourself and what you think you have accomplished, then you do not acknowledge God and what he did to help you.  Psalm 10:4 says, “4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.” It explains that the proud are so consumed with themselves that their thoughts are far from God:  “In his pride the wicked does not seek God; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.”  This kind of haughty pride is the opposite of the spirit of humility that God seeks:  “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven,” Matthew 5:3.  The “poor in spirit” are those who recognize their inability to come to God aside from his divine grace.  Those who can display humility. The proud, on the other hand, are so blinded by their pride that they think they do not need God or, worse, that God should accept them as they are because they deserve His acceptance.

Throughout scripture, we are told about the consequences of pride. Proverbs 16:18-19 tells us that “18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. 19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.”  Satan was cast out of heaven because of his pride. He thought he was superior to God. Forgetting it was God who created him. In Isaiah 14:12-15 the word says, “12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit”.  He had the selfish audacity to place himself above God as the rightful ruler and creator of the universe.  But Satan will be cast down to hell in the final judgment of God.  For those who rise up in defiance against God, there is nothing ahead but disaster.

Pride has kept many people from accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.  Admitting sin and acknowledging that in our strength we can do nothing to inherit eternal life is a constant stumbling block for prideful people.  We are not to boast about ourselves; if we want to boast, then we are to proclaim the glories of God.  What we say about ourselves means nothing in God’s sight.  It is what God says about us that makes the difference, 2 Corinthians 10:18, “18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.”

Why is pride so sinful you might ask?  Pride is giving ourselves the credit for something that God has accomplished.  Pride is taking the glory that belongs to God alone and keeping it for ourselves.  Pride is essentially self-worship.  Anything we accomplish in this world would not have been possible were it not for God enabling and sustaining us.  “For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? (1 Corinthians 4:7).”  That is why we give God the glory—He alone deserves it not us.

The Salute to America’s speech was well written and presented, but as I listened to the words, my heart began to tremble with fear. Knowing and understanding that God hates a proud look and that he deserved so much honor, praise, and gratitude, from the American people, for what he has done for America. And he was not publicly recognized or thanked. While others were publicly recognized and thanked for their works that God allowed them to accomplish.  

The word tells us that God is a jealous God, Exodus 34:14, “For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” Lower case “god”is anything we put before “God”Almighty, such as, earthly possessions, money, people, objects, etc. In Matthew 22the word also tells us there are two great commandments, “37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” If we love God with all our heart, soul and mind, then our interest should be on him and heavenly things not on earthly things or worldly possessions. In Matthew 6:21 the word tells us, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

I love my country, but let’s be honest with each other.  America has committed some great sins in the past.  She was able to flourish throughout the years despite her bad deeds, due to the “GRACE of God.”  Now GRACE is favor, "unmerited favor."  It is God's goodness toward those who really have no claim on it, deserve it, nor reason to expect it; God's gift to those undeserving. 

If you know and understand the principle of sowing and reaping, you know that America must face the music (a reaping period). God loves America and knows what is in store for her because of her past deeds, but he still wants to prosper her and bless her. He anointed and appointed President Trump to “Make America Great Again” by returning her back to him (God). President Trump is America’s modern-day Moses who will lead her back to God. The word of God speaks to America in the book of 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” God is warning America that she is walking a slippery slope and in order to retain God’s favor, grace and mercy, she must return back to him, humble herself, pray for forgiveness, seek his face, hunger for righteousness, turn from her wicked ways; then will God hear her prayers from heaven, will forgive her sins, and will heal America.”

Please do not misunderstand what I am trying to say. I am a true patriot. I am a Black American woman who loves and supports President Trump, his family, and his administration. Always has been and always will be. But I am first loyal and obedient to God. I am obligated to tell the truth according to the word of God. I am not to judge anyone just share the word of God as it is given to me while in my “praying place.” The Holy Spirit inspired me to share this message to remind America about “pride and humility” and that it is God and him alone that enables us to accomplish our desires not us. It is by the strength of God we are able to do what we do; not by our strength.

Remember:

God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

You don’t have to edify yourself, because God will build you up.

We must come to God with humility; a humble heart.

Stay humble. 

Be Blessed. – “Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace,” Psalm 37:37.​ 

Recommendation #1 – Schools
As I stated before, we should incorporate, in the schools, prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance.  Prayer to start the day with God, praying for each other, President Trump, and America.  The Pledge of Allegiance to teach our children at an early age to love God, Country, and Countrymen.
 

Someone needs to investigate the world wide web for hidden back doors where our children (American Children) are being recruited secretly and brain washed to hate God, country, fellow countrymen, self, and authority.  I may be wrong, but I feel it in my spirit there is something out there and our children are being influenced by it.  I had this same gut feeling about the time of the Columbine Shootings (April 20, 1999).  During that time there was “Myspace.”  And if you recall there were so many myspace members accidently dying.
 

If you notice, every few months there is a dangerous “internet challenge:”  Here are fifteen of the most dangerous online challenges teenagers have ever done (source: https://www.thethings.com/15-of-the-most-dangerous-online-challenges-teenagers-have-ever-done/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41dUEWlH1Ks):

21. Choking/Fainting/Pass-Out Challenge 
22. The Tide Challenge 
23. The Ghost Pepper Challenge 
24. The Hot Pepper Challenge 

The most recent internet challenge is “The Hot Pepper Challenge.”  Some of these internet challenges are made public, but others are made in secret behind hidden back-doors to various websites.  Our children have excellent computer knowledge and are able to figure out many regarding computers and other electronic devi, including access to hidden “back-doors.”  But once in side, they are vulnerable unable to protect their innocent minds from what is being fed them and are recruited or convinced to do dangerous acts.  As a Christian, I know who to blame, it’s Satan.  As a Prayer Warrior, I also know that I need to know who, what, when, and where Satan has assigned to carry out his evil tasks.  It’s Satan’s goal to steal, kill, and destroy, John 10:10.  And it’s our job to find where the thief, Satan, has set up camp and who evil agents are in order to focus our prayers against them to bind, break strongholds, loose captives, and cast out the demons on assignment against our children and anyone else.  I had this same gut feeling during the columbine shootings.  At that time, “Myspace” was very popular among our teenagers.  In fact, there is a website devoted to myspace members who were accidently killed or overdosed (MyDeathSpace.com).
 

Recommendation #2 – Put God First
While you are looking for the back-doors recruiting our children and manipulating their minds to do evil against themselves, our God, and Country, (1) reincorporate prayer into the schools (praying for the students, teachers, and school administrators that God will bless, keep them safe, and help learn what is necessary to be successful in life.  And (2) require each student to recite the original Pledge of Allegiance (the one with the word GOD included), in order to teach them to respect God, country, and countrymen.  If immigrants want to visit and/or become citizens of the United States of America, then they must agree to respect authority, our God, our country, and our citizens.  When you go to visit a person’s home, you do not go there telling them how things should be, because you are a visitor in their home.  So when immigrants come to America, they must learn to abide by our rules.  Our rules are not in place to hurt or harm them, but to keep order in our homeland and respect for our God.  If they want to visit or become citizens, then they must be willing to abide by our rules and regulations; policies and procedures; our laws of the land.  And make sure when they take the oath to become citizens they fully understand this and take it very seriously.  The bible says “Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay,” Ecclesiastes 5:5.  If we want America to continue to be blessed, we must make it known that our God, country, and countrymen must be respected.  If this is done, you will see America becoming great again in many areas and it will destroy Satan’s hold on America, our citizens especially our children.
 

Recommendation #3 - State and Local Representatives
Everyone is looking for the Federal Government to resolve this issue.  But I believe it is the responsibility of the parents, churches, local and state government to begin coming together and making recommendations to their congressmen.  Who should come together and present their recommendations to President Trump in order to implement federal laws to help resolve these urgent issues.  As President John F. Kennedy stated in his Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961, “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.”
 

Why are all the state and local representatives waiting on President Trump to come up with all the solutions.  He does not know what is going on in each state and local communities.  That’s why we have state and local representatives.  They are suppose to get involve in what is going on in their state and local communities in order to help their citizens.  Then meet in Washington, D.C. with problems and possible solutions in order to create laws that will help resolve their state and local issues.  Instead I see state and local representatives sitting back and pointing their fingers at President Trump to do all their work and with a fraction of his administration, because his nominees have not been confirmed.  He is doing this without the necessary personnel.    Shame Shame Shame.  God sits high and looks low and sees all our dirty deeds and we will have to answer to each and every one someday.  I’m reminded of these words, “we shall reap what we sow.”  The exact words from the bible are: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap,” Galatians 6:7.
 

Recommendation #4 - Churches and Community Leaders
Most churches teach tithing and its blessings, missionary giving, and benevolent offerings.  Many churches take those funds and aid foreign countries while neglecting their local communities.  Some might do this, because it is difficult for us to trace what being done with the funds, others feel they are fulfilling a need not realizing there are many in need all around in their own country.  They mean well and God bless them for their generosity.  But I feel they need to be made aware they need to invest some of their time and money into their local communities and aid their own.  This will help the doubters, who can’t see where the money is going and how it is being used, to become believers and have faith in the words spoken from the pulpit.  And we would be helping our own first, before reaching out to others.  There is a scripture in the bible that tells us to take care our own first.  “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel,” 1 Timothy 5:8.  Church and community leaders should ensure their communities are being taken care of both physically and spiritually before going to foreign countries to feed and take care of them.  Yes we should share resources after we have taken care of our own.  Yes we get public acclamation, and that is great, but at the expense of hurting our own and making them feel neglected and unloved.  President Trump, has made this comment many times, “take care of America first.”  This is not a selfish statement, it is a statement directly from the word of God.  It is a biblical principle.  When riding an airplane, the flight attendant tells us, in case of an emergency, to put on our oxygen mask first before trying to place it on a child or help another individual.  Why because the oxygen level may fall so low that you pass out.  And what can you do if you are passed out, nothing.  But if you alert and strong you can do much.
 

Church and community leaders lets take some of that money you are sending overseas where no one can validate how it’s being used and invest in your local communities.  Help them by providing a community activity center teaching adults, children, and their families on the dangers of the internet and other meaningful subjects.  As you know, some community areas no longer have after school activities for children or a place to meet after school in order to broaden the knowledge base and become successful productive adults.  I remember growing up, there was no idle time for me.  I grew up in a poor neighborhood, but my paternal grandmother had me involved in church and church activities; my awesome Godparents, had me involved in community activities; and my school offered activities such as ecology club, language clubs, rally club, junior red cross, study body offices, girls auxiliary, orchestra, etc.  I was always learning things or expanding on what I already knew, no time to get in trouble, because I was always busy doing something positive and my friends were doing the same.
 

Church and community leaders join with law enforcement and provide a community information base for parents, children and families about important issues like drugs, sexual trafficking, computer etiquette, etc.  Everyone needs to step up and do their part to protect and educate out children.  I have no children, but every child I met is my responsibility and duty to protect.
 

Recommendation #5 - Parents
Parents need to take some responsibility as well.  Schools are not baby sitters, they are learning institutions.  Teachers should not be disciplinarians, but there to teach, opening up and broadening your child’s mind.  Letting him know there is a big world out there and the sky is the limit to what they can do and how they want to apply what they are learning in order to better themselves, family, community, state, and America.  Parents need to set aside time from their busy lives to interact with their children and find out what their thinking, what they are learning, who is influencing them, what their goals desires are, how they spend their idle time and who their friends are.  Parents should always know what their children are doing at all times and what is going on in their little lives in order to take proactive action against the negative and encourage the positive.  If each parent did their part, this would help the school systems.  Make sure their children have a well-rounded exposure to learning tools such computers, television, books, music, the arts, exercise, outdoor time, creativity time, etc.  Never too much of one thing.  Try to create a positive learning schedule for their child outside of school and make it fun for them to learn and be creative.  Parents should always spot check their child’s room for hidden items.  Parents should always oversee what their child is reading, doing, and interacting with on electronic devices.  The bible says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it,” Proverbs 22:6.  Children are like young tender plant, they need to be properly cared for, given structure so that they grow up properly, and become successful productive happy law abiding citizens.  Without this they will grow up like a wild weed.  Parents need to teach their girls to be virtuous women and to teach their boys to respect women and to be strong godly man; to teach their children to love themselves, to love God, that God loves them and finds each of them special and unique and that he has plans for their lie, about salvation, to find their God given calling, how to be happy and content, and how to respect those in authority.  The bibles ways, “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you,” Hebrews 13:17.  And most importantly the bible teaches children to always obey their parents.  “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth,” Ephesians 6:1-3.  Everything a parent needs to know about raising their children can be found in the bible.
 

If everyone, Schools, State and Local Representatives, Church and Community Leaders, and Parents, do their part, this problem can and will be resolved.Type your paragraph here.

Vengeance is defined as the punishment inflicted in retaliation for an injury or wrong. When evil-doers inflict hurt, harm, and pain, many desire to return the favor in order to get even. But what they fail to realize is that whatever they send out into the universe (negative or positive energy) will be returned to them before they leave this world going to their final resting place.

When we decide to take revenge, we are actually judging an individual’s heart; the real reason why they committed the act. And no man knows the heart of any man, but God. This is why he tells us not to judge others. In Matthew 7:1-3 the word says, “1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” Moreover, how can we judge someone, when we have not taken a look at our heart. Are our actions being ruled by Satan or the Holy Spirit?

If we inflict hurt, harm, or danger to someone based on what little knowledge we have about them and the situation, we will surely reap what we have sown and there is no turning back the clock. We might be sorry later for our actions, but we have already set into motion the “reaping clock.” We can ask God to forgive us for our evil words and evil deeds and he will surely do so, but we cannot stop the “reaping clock.” In Galatians 6:7-8 the bible says, “7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” It does not say unless you ask God forgiveness. It does not say maybe you will reap. It says you SHALL reap; that means you will surely reap what you have sown. God does not lie. If he said it, then believe it.

The bible has a lot to say about avenging ourselves and how we are to treat evil-doers:

· In Romans 12:19, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

· In Hebrews 10:30, “For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.”

· In Matthew 5:38-39, “38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”

· In Matthew 5:43-44, “43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;”

· In 1 Thessalonians 5:15, “See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.”

As Christians, you are to follow the word of God, to “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,” leaving the vengeance to God.
