IF MY PEOPLE…(RACHEM)

sO, i

  So, today is September 10, 2026. Tomorrow, Friday September 11, is the 25th  anniversary of the infamous 9/11 attacks, Twin Towers, Pentagon and Flight 93).    Churches and  civic organizations are preparing to commemorate the horrific attack on our United States of America.
      Soon after I  woke up, I immediately began thinking about  Daniel’s chapter nine repentance prayers and got my Bible to meditate.and wait for  divine insight and understanding.
      I thought about  the sons of Issachar. 1 Chron. 12:32 says that they were men who  understood the times with knowledge  of what Israel should do. They understood how to read the weather and they had political prowess regarding King David.
        Thinking about all this, I went into prayer after reading Daniel’s humble, yet powerful prayer of deep repentance to God. Then I thought about  Ezekiel and the people being taken into captivity by the Baylonians. I thought about the horror of the potential invasion of  Russia and millions of American citizens also being taken by ships away from their homes.    
        Some of you might say, “God would not let this happen to us. Or “We are too powerful for this to happen!” Or God wouldn’t let His bride go through that!”
        Let’s look at God’s requirements for blessings on a nation. As God told Joshua,  7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Also, look at Duet 1:8.
     Obedience to God’s law is mandatory, but so doing that which is right. James 4:7 says,  “to him who knows to do good and does not do it, is sin. Check out Mat 23:2&3.
      So what are we not doing? We have a Godly outward form of our Christian expression. We declare: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land”. 1 Chron. 7:14.
      As a journalist who loves Jesus and truth,  I do not see my nation being healed.  Yes, there are pockets of revivals on campuses and in small areas, but we need to look hard, (like the sons of Issachar) and face what truly is occurring!  We are reminded in James 1:27 what God sees as pure religion. Are we caring for our widows and orphans?  Are we  preventing our unborn and new borns from being murdered, (Infanticide). Are we confronting Pedophiles, perverts and satanists from kidnapping, torturing and eating our children? Please do not be offended. Some of you men, may be  Armchair Quarterbacks or woke pastors! I am blessed to know several pastors who are well-informed and prodding their congregations to be true SALT in a contaminated and infected world!! You know who you are:)!
      Tomorrow as you partake of commemorating the 25th anniversary of the September 11 infamous attack. Let us not be as those who went back to business as usual weeks after the poignant church repentance service.  Christian brothers and sisters, we are ripe for  the United States to receive another similar attack if we do not  strategically study, investigate and pray-fast against the silent giant, extreme Muslims, (and extreme Jewish sects that call Christianity hate speech) who want to dominate and annihilate Jehovah God’s directives for our lives.
       I send a clarion call to our men, pastors, bishops, deacons and Messianic Rabbis to seek the Holy Spirit intensely in fasting, deep repentance and strategic prayer. God is very angry about the powerful and quick rise of trans-genderism, sodomy, child-sex-trafficking and especially abortion. He will not bless our nation if we do not put on the brakes to stop these abominations! The small percentage of intercessors alone cannot carry the burden of mountains of Cancerous sin of this nation. ALL of God’s people must unite for there is power in unity!
     I beseech you brother or sister to pay attention and pray about this blog.  We have our advocate, Commander -in-chief, Jesus Yashuah, The Holy Spirit, God’s warring and ministry angels and the Armour of God.  May we victor in the Blood of Jesus and the power of His word. Amen!  

Joy in the journey.  I'd always hoped that the road would gently unwind before me as i struggled to ascend to higher heights, while being pushed backwards, by the  continual and daunting symptoms of my many ailments. Just last week, as I was uploading my original songs and past gigs, to this website, i remembered  the anguish and  exhaustion   of supporting myself by delivering telephone books during the  day and  most evenings, I would be performing at the Oakland House, a private  event or a local tavern. My love for composing on the guitar and collaborating on original music with  John DeGrazio and Kyle Hicks saved me from suicidal  thoughts. God always made a way for me to  get fund to produce and record my songs in the studio.  I'll never forget  crying out  to God as I pushed a hand truck loaded with heavy telephone books, wondering why I wasn't touring with my band and respected.   The staggering fatigue from the  Lyme symptoms and  my carbon monoxide poisoning episode made me feel inferior and cursed,  The constant eking out a living wore down my spirits often and i wondered what my destiny was. 

      Angst, disappointment and regret, weighed me down often during my long Dystonia battle. but as I've finally come of age this late in my life, I acquiesce to the reality of Christ being my solid foundation. God's precepts have sheltered me from the sting of hatred, unforgiveness and retaliation. I know that His peace tempers me to have a grateful heart and make the most of every opportunity, however small.  I cherish, Moses' Psalm 90:12.

       Teach us to number our days that we may know wisdom.   

      No need to keep asking  Father God..."why"

       In the past, I often felt ,my creative and musical endeavors were not allowed to bear  the fruit they deserved for whatever reason. i wanted to be successful fashion designer, best selling author, renowned poet or well-loved music icon. too often, my creations had to be postponed indefinitely because of   constant interruptions of lie-threatening illnesses.. Worse yet, fewer and fewer invitations came as people became aware that the TMJ Dystonia symptoms  were diminishing my . I noticed with great anxiety, that my vocal prowess and guitar skill was also strained.  I'd expected  that I'd  get better with age, not worse.

       And so,, I determined in my heart, I would push forward no matter how much it hurt. I could not quit because of what Christ did for me. He destined me to be a conqueror and i was to  be a role model for precious  girls and women whose lives were shattered by trauma. As I scan  the horizon of my future, I'm assured that  He will bring beauty out of the ashes.  Behold, He arose  and redeemed me!
