MLK Jr.

I signed up for an online course on Martin Luther King Jr. to read and discuss his famous letters, speeches and sermons compiled in the book “A Testament of Hope”.

I did some research on the lives and legacies of MLK Jr and Malcolm X. Both men gave their lives to advance the civil rights movement in America. However, their approaches were different and their spiritual beliefs were very different too. I also looked into their descendants and how they are today. Whatever works that we do in our lives, produces a fruit that our descendants will eat from. I came to the conclusion that MLK Jr chose the better way to combat injustice and left a better legacy or fruit for his family. That’s why I’d like to learn more from his writings. (I read that in 2027 the FBI will be required to release all their surveillance recordings on him. I’m sure there will be many more books that will be written about him once these recordings are released.)

Hello friends. If you are wondering why I keep on focusing on revival, please watch this hour-long documentary about Keith Green. He was the poster child of a hippie culture in California of the 1960/70s.

I was thinking about Alice Cooper yesterday and discovered that Pastor Greg Laurie came out with a new interview with Alice Cooper that is 30 minutes long. He was quite a controversial entertainer of my generation with his satanic looks and performances. He and his wife are both pastor’s kids. That tells you that no matter how far someone appears to have gone away from their upbringing, God is faithful. Don’t ever stop praying and believing for your children and grandchildren.

Hello friends. I was speaking with a friend recently on how I navigated through some very difficult relationships and seasons. I realized that it was as simple as “just stay put.” That means I don’t make any changes in my position and plans during this period of distress. And if I do sense that I need to make a change then I surround myself with wise people in the church who can pray for me and advise me. I also wait for confirmation from God through the Bible. In very important matters, I notice that I receive signs from my surroundings or from the preaching of God’s Word or even a dream or visions or impressions during personal and corporate prayer times. Mainly, I rely upon God’s instructions in the Bible since signs can be disceptive and the enemy can use signs to mislead you. 

Hello everyone. It’s November! Yay! 😃 This year’s October was probably the worst one I’ve ever experienced. Thank you for your support and prayers for me and my family. 

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. – 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NLT)

Over the last 13-14 years I’ve been studying the Bible immensely. I get into discussions with church friends about Bible theology and doctrines. Sometimes our conversations can get a little heated as we are defending our position. However, we never allow ourselves to severe our friendship. Always remember this –  “We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.” (1 Corinthians 8:1 (NKJV)).

Hello friends. I’m reminded about this vision that I had during our corporate prayer time over a year ago. 

The climate in our country and communities has been so divisive because of the upcoming election and their many ads. It’s almost impossible to not get offended. Please keep a close eye on your heart and if it feels bitter or cynical, please ask for prayers from your pastors or church friends. God will answer that prayer since it’s His desire and will for us to live together in love and unity. I also advise you to not speak or communicate much until you feel less bitter and cynical in your heart. I just don’t want you to make mistakes with your words and cause a big problem in your life and relationships. 

(I forwarded this message to my church pastors.)

Hello Pastors.  It seems that divorces in the Evangelical Christians aren’t as bad as I have seen being reported in the secular news.  Please read below.  

Also, if you have time please listen to this podcast by John Bevere.  He shared about his formal pastor and how this pastor justified his divorce. The result on the church and their members was far reaching and tragic.  As pastor and church leaders, it is very important to realize that you set an example for the rest of the congregation.  Thank you for realizing this and serving the Lord with holy reverence.

Our Esther prayer group often prays for you, your marriages and children. God bless you abundantly.

Hello friends. I just shared this old email message with my prayer group on marriage. I hope it helps you too. Even if you are not married, I highly recommend that you review these resources so that you will understand what marriage is about from a biblical perspective. As Christians, we need to have our minds renewed since many of us have learned from the entertainment industry and reality shows about relationships. 

(Read Romans 12 to remind yourself about the importance of renewing your mind – https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012&version=voice&lctg=5ef562a275b76a7d67479d26 )

Hello friends. I just learned that there’s a big women’s prayer event happening this Saturday, 10/12 in Washington DC! 

Their prayer event is calling the Esthers of today to “pray and fast” to save our children and our nation. You can register and join virtually too. Please register and let us pray with repentance and brokenness…for we know how merciful God was to Nineveh when Jonah preached upcoming judgement, and the people of Nineveh cried out to the Lord for mercy. Just like Nineveh, I know that we still have an opportunity for mercy. 

Please watch their short video on how this prayer movement was propelled into action with a divine dream.

“Today on the mall in DC 250,000 women prayed and worshipped. 10 million online. 50 cities around the world held events, crying out for America! God shed His Grace on thee!” – Cindy Jacobs – https://www.facebook.com/cindyjacobsofficial?mibextid=LQQJ4d

Here’s a recording of the event by one of the ministries that showed it live to their followers. https://www.youtube.com/live/kIfrZeLbZOo?si=nMpBHeTr7UDjxvel

Matthew 18:19-20 (AMP)
19 “Again I say to you, that if two believers on earth agree [that is, are of one mind, in harmony] about anything that they ask [within the will of God], it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in My name [meeting together as My followers], I am there among them.”
