A Queens judge on Friday acquitted three detectives charged in the shooting of Sean Bell, who died on his wedding day in a hail of 50 police bullets. He said that prosecutors had failed to prove their case and that wounded friends of the slain man had given testimony that he did not believe.
The top-to-bottom acquittals of Detectives Gescard F. Isnora, Michael Oliver and Marc Cooper were delivered by Justice Arthur J. Cooperman in an essay form bearing little resemblance to a standard jury verdict, and were met momentarily with silence in court as spectators looked at one another to be sure they had grasped what he was saying.
The detectives, all but obscured behind a human wall of courthouse officers, finally seemed to exhale deeply, even crumple, with relief. Detective Oliver — who reloaded his gun to fire a total of 31 shots and helped catapult the shooting from tragic mistake to a symbol, for many, of police abuse of force and poor training — closed his eyes and cried.
Except for a few scuffles outside the Queens Criminal Court building and shouted displays of disbelief and outrage, the day passed peacefully amid calls for calm delivered by the mayor, the police commissioner and other officials. Still, the Rev. Al Sharpton, a spokesman for the Bell family, called for street protests and said people should get themselves arrested, “whether it is on Wall Street, the judge’s house or at 1 Police Plaza.”
Legal hurdles remain for the officers: federal authorities said they would now investigate the case, and the Police Department is mulling internal charges. A $50 million lawsuit against the city, filed last year by Mr. Bell’s fiancée, who had two children with him, and the two men wounded in the shooting, may now begin moving forward.
The shooting of Mr. Bell, 23, outside a nightclub in Jamaica, Queens, early on Nov. 25, 2006, the morning of the day he was to be married, was the city’s latest crucible for distilling questions about police treatment of people of color and the use of excessive force on unarmed black men. The shooting lasted seconds, but offered a glimpse of what it is to live in a neighborhood where black men and women are stopped and frisked at a higher rate than elsewhere in the city.
But the case never became the racially charged lightning rod of its predecessors, like the case of Amadou Diallo, killed in 1999 in a hail of 41 shots. This was due in part to the race of the officers — two of the three on trial were black — and to the response of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who reached out to the victim’s family in a stark contrast to the response of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani after Mr. Diallo was killed.
Further, trial testimony showed that Mr. Bell may have played some role, however unwitting, in the shooting, as he was drunk by legal standards when he pressed down on the accelerator of his fiancée’s Nissan Altima and struck Detective Isnora in the leg in an attempt to flee.
Justice Cooperman, who heard the case without a jury in State Supreme Court in Queens, listed his reasons for throwing out much of the testimony from Mr. Bell’s group, including the number of times that witnesses were caught changing their story on the stand and the witnesses who had interests in the outcome because of the lawsuit against the city. Those issues, criminal backgrounds and the demeanor of the mostly young men on the witness stand “had the effect of eviscerating the credibility of those prosecution witnesses,” he said.
As for the detectives, the judge made it clear that he believed their versions of events over those of the young men involved, including Detective Isnora’s statement that he had overheard Mr. Bell’s friend Joseph Guzman twice say that he was going to get a gun.
“The court has found that the incident lasted just seconds,” Justice Cooperman said. “The officers responded to perceived criminal conduct; the unfortunate consequences of their conduct were tragic.”
But rather than call the shooting justified, the judge said that the prosecution failed to prove it was unjustified, as was its burden. Indeed, his ruling was far from approving of the detectives’ conduct during the undercover vice operation that night. “Questions of carelessness and incompetence must be left to other forums,” he said. He never mentioned the high number of shots fired, or the fact that Detective Oliver had fired 31 of them.
Similar statements came from the Queens district attorney, Richard A. Brown, whose office prosecuted the case. He said the trial “revealed significant deficiencies in, among other things, supervision, tactical planning, communications and management accountability — insufficiencies that need to be addressed.”
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who called the incident “inexplicable” and “excessive” in the days following the shooting, expressed sorrow for Mr. Bell’s family.
“There are no winners in a trial like this,” he said. “An innocent man lost his life, a bride lost her groom, two daughters lost their father, and a mother and a father lost their son. No verdict could ever end the grief that those who knew and loved Sean Bell suffer.”
The verdict came 17 months to the day after five officers pointed their pistols at the car Mr. Bell was driving and opened fire. The shooting followed a confrontation between Mr. Bell and a stranger outside the Club Kalua, where Mr. Bell had attended his bachelor party. During the confrontation, Detective Isnora said, he heard the threat about getting the gun.
In the events that followed, Mr. Bell’s car struck the detective’s leg and, twice, a police van. Detective Isnora said he saw Mr. Guzman reach for his waistband, shouted “Gun” and fired. The three detectives who were brought to trial fired 46 of the 50 rounds, killing Mr. Bell and wounding Mr. Guzman and Trent Benefield, another friend of Mr. Bell’s.
The detectives each spoke briefly at a press conference at the Detectives Endowment Association on Friday afternoon, variously thanking God, their families, lawyers and Justice Cooperman. “This is the start of my life back,” said Detective Cooper, who seemed to be fighting back tears.
The United States Department of Justice issued a statement announcing its own investigation. “The Civil Rights Division and the United States attorney’s office have been monitoring the state’s prosecution of this case and, following the review of all the evidence, will take appropriate action if the evidence indicates a prosecutable violation of federal criminal civil rights statutes,” the statement said.
Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said an internal departmental investigation into the shooting, which could lead to a departmental trial and possible disciplinary actions up to termination, would be put on hold at the request of the federal authorities. This allows the Police Department, for the moment, to avoid the complex issue of meting out punishment to its own officers.
Mr. Guzman and Mr. Benefield left the courthouse without comment. Mr. Benefield — singled out by name in the verdict as giving testimony that contradicted the evidence — turned and shouted something back toward the officers guarding the building.
(Coincidentally, the judge paused in the reading of his verdict only once, to demand that a crying child be removed from the courtroom. It is unlikely that he had any idea that the child was Trent Benefield III.)
Mr. Bell’s parents, William and Valerie Bell, were sitting where they had been sitting, side by side, throughout the seven-week trial. Mrs. Bell had been looking toward the floor and blinking furiously during the verdict, and finally began to cry, covering her face while her husband stared straight ahead, looking at no one and shaking his head.
A woman sitting behind them broke the silence when she asked, “Did he just say ‘not guilty’?”
Court officers hurried the three detectives out a back door.
As news of the acquittals rippled through clots of supporters of the Bell family, Mr. and Mrs. Bell led a column of friends and relatives, including Mr. Bell’s fiancée, Nicole Paultre Bell, out of the courthouse. No one, including Mr. Sharpton, spoke, and the spectators on Queens Boulevard fell into a column and followed behind.
Mr. Brown, the district attorney, said he accepted the verdict, calling Justice Cooperman “one of this county’s most respected and learned jurists.”
“I accept his verdict and I urge all fair-minded individuals in this city to do the same,” he said.
He was asked if, in hindsight, he had any misgivings about the reading of the grand jury testimony of the three detectives from 2007 into the record during the trial. The readings were widely seen as something of a coup for the defense, with the detectives’ accounts of the panic and uncertainty surrounding the shooting coming across without the detectives having to undergo cross-examination.
“That was a trial decision that was made, I think appropriately made,” Mr. Brown said.
The lead prosecutor, Charles A. Testagrossa, an assistant district attorney, recalled criticism of the prosecution strategy of calling almost all the available witnesses, whether they were helpful or harmful to the prosecution.
“It’s very easy for people who are observing the trial to say, ‘Gee, you called this witness, and not this witness,’ ” he said. “If you think that criticism could have made us work any harder, be more committed to obtaining a conviction in this case, then you had a right to criticize us. But the fact of the matter is, knowing how hard all of the members of this team worked,” the criticism meant nothing.
Then he quoted one of his own witnesses, a stripper who appeared early in the trial: " 'It is what it is.' "
Justice Arthur J. Cooperman

Why is America afraid to elect a black man as President!

2008-02-02T22:17:00.000-07:00

Is it because we are afraid he will be killed before he reaches office?

If he is killed what will we really do about it?

When will racism and prejudice stop in America?

The only thing that is keeping America from electing a black man is fear and that fear is not of God. Fear is one of the most useful tools that keeps people operating in the dark. We need to turn the light on and see the truth.

The truth is that the most qualified candidate will not win, but the candidate who appears to be the one who will provide the most change for our current situation of pain and anger will win. We are fed up with the current officials.

To say we need change is an absolute understatement of fact. We change like a wet baby needs a fresh diaper after pooping and peeing. The change we need is dramatic and real. We have had too many mirrors.

It is so refreshing to see people registering to vote; some for the first time and others reregistering. The one hundred and fourteen year-old lady who just registered for the first time is a remarkable insite to the change that is needed in America.

Lies, Adultery and Deception are not needed to grace the White House. We need American leaders who aspire to old fashion values for morality with fresh new minds to clean up the American scene to reflect forward thinking and behaving.

What the Lord gave me for 2008!

December 29, 2007

What the Lord gave me for 2008 from Loren (Paul) Due:

Ezekiel 21:25 -27 NLT

(25) O you corrupt and wicked prince of Israel, your final day of reckoning is here!

(26) This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“Take off your jeweled crown,
for the old order changes.
Now the lowly will be exalted,
and the mighty will be brought down.

(27) Destruction! Destruction!
I will surely destroy the kingdom.
And it will not be restored until the one appears
who has the right to judge it.
Then I will hand it over to him.

As you meditate over this scripture and began to fast and pray for the church in America let us keep in mind that God will have the final say. He is sending Jesus to catch away a church that is without spot or wrinkle or any thing else.

In the spirit of meekness and humility,

Judgment against False Prophets!

2007-12-13T10:27:00.000-07:00

Ezekiel 13

Judgment against False Prophets
13:1 Then this message came to me from the LORD: 2 "Son of man, speak against the false prophets of Israel who are inventing their own prophecies. Tell them to listen to the word of the LORD. 3 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Destruction is certain for the false prophets who are following their own imaginations and have seen nothing at all! 4 "O people of Israel, these prophets of yours are like jackals digging around in the ruins. 5 They have done nothing to strengthen the breaks in the walls around the nation. They have not helped it to stand firm in battle on the day of the LORD. 6 Instead, they have lied and said, 'My message is from the LORD,' even though the LORD never sent them. And yet they expect him to fulfill their prophecies! 7 Can your visions be anything but false if you claim, 'This message is from the LORD,' when I have not even spoken to you? 8 "Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because what you say is false and your visions are a lie, I will stand against you, says the Sovereign LORD. 9 I will raise my fist against all the lying prophets, and they will be banished from the community of Israel. I will blot their names from Israel's record books, and they will never again see their own land. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD! 10 "These evil prophets deceive my people by saying, 'All is peaceful!' when there is no peace at all! It's as if the people have built a flimsy wall, and these prophets are trying to hold it together by covering it with whitewash! 11 Tell these whitewashers that their wall will soon fall down. A heavy rainstorm will undermine it; great hailstones and mighty winds will knock it down. 12 And when the wall falls, the people will cry out, 'Where is the whitewash you applied?' 13 "Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will sweep away your whitewashed wall with a storm of indignation, with a great flood of anger, and with hailstones of fury. 14 I will break down your wall right to the foundation, and when it falls, it will crush you. Then you will know that I am the LORD! 15 At last my anger against the wall and those who covered it with whitewash will be satisfied. Then I will say to you: 'The wall and those who whitewashed it are both gone. 16 They were lying prophets who claimed peace would come to Jerusalem when there was no peace. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!' Judgment against False Women Prophets 17 "Now, son of man, also speak out against the women who prophesy from their own imaginations. 18 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Destruction is certain for you women who are ensnaring the souls of my people, both young and old alike. You tie magic charms on their wrists and furnish them with magic veils. Do you think you can trap others without bringing destruction on yourselves? 19 You turn my people away from me for a few handfuls of barley or a piece of bread. By lying to my people who love to listen to lies, you kill those who should not die, and you promise life to those who should not live. 20 "And so the Sovereign LORD says: I am against all your magic charms, which you use to ensnare my people like birds. I will tear them from your arms, setting my people free like birds set free from a cage. 21 I will tear off the magic veils and save my people from your grasp. They will no longer be your victims. Then you will know that I am the LORD. 22 You have discouraged the righteous with your lies, when I didn't want them to suffer grief. And you have encouraged the wicked by promising them life, even though they continue in their sins. 23 But you will no longer talk of seeing visions that you never saw, nor will you practice your magic. For I will rescue my people from your grasp. Then you will know that I am the LORD." NLT

Ezekiel 7 - Is this what America is going to face?

2007-12-07T22:26:00.000-07:00

Ezekiel 7
7:1 The Coming of the End Then this message came to me from the LORD: 2 "Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says to Israel: The end is here! Wherever you look — east, west, north, or south — your land is finished. 3 No hope remains, for I will unleash my anger against you. I will call you to account for all your disgusting behavior. 4 I will turn my eyes away and show no pity, repaying you in full for all your evil. Then you will know that I am the LORD! 5 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: With one blow after another I will bring total disaster! 6 The end has come! It has finally arrived! Your final doom is waiting! 7 O people of Israel, the day of your destruction is dawning. The time has come; the day of trouble is near. It will ring with shouts of anguish, not shouts of joy. 8 Soon I will pour out my fury to complete your punishment for all your disgusting behavior. 9 I will neither spare nor pity you. I will repay you for all your detestable practices. Then you will know that it is I, the LORD, who is striking the blow.7 Then he showed me another vision. I saw the Lord standing beside a wall that had been built using a plumb line. He was checking it with a plumb line to see if it was straight. 8 And the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" I answered, "A plumb line." And the Lord replied, "I will test my people with this plumb line. I will no longer ignore all their sins. 9 The pagan shrines of your ancestors and the temples of Israel will be destroyed, and I will bring the dynasty of King Jeroboam to a sudden end." Amos and Amaziah 10 But when Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, heard what Amos was saying, he rushed a message to King Jeroboam: "Amos is hatching a plot against you right here on your very doorstep! What he is saying is intolerable. It will lead to rebellion all across the land. 11 He is saying, 'Jeroboam will soon be killed and the people of Israel will be sent away into exile.' " 12 Then Amaziah sent orders to Amos: "Get out of here, you seer! Go on back to the land of Judah and do your preaching there! 13 Don't bother us here in Bethel with your prophecies, especially not here where the royal sanctuary is!" 14 But Amos replied, "I'm not one of your professional prophets. I certainly never trained to be one. I'm just a shepherd, and I take care of fig trees. 15 But the LORD called me away from my flock and told me, 'Go and prophesy to my people in Israel.' 16 "Now then, listen to this message from the LORD! You say, 'Don't prophesy against Israel. Stop preaching against my people.' 17 But this is what the LORD says: Because you have refused to listen, your wife will become a prostitute in this city, and your sons and daughters will be killed. Your land will be divided up, and you yourself will die in a foreign land. And the people of Israel will certainly become captives in exile, far from their homeland."

What does Rev. Ike, Daddy Grace, Father Divine ....

2007-11-30T01:28:00.000-07:00

What does Rev. Ike, Daddy Grace, Father Divine, Prophet Jones and the Bishop from Oakland who said he walked on water in the sixties, have in common with the current Televangelist?

Just a question for you to ponder and pray about.

We are praying for our brothers and sisters at this time who have been targeted by Grassley and others, and the various falls from grace that have happened this year. Let us also pray for the brothers and sisters who follow these ministries, that they not turn away from the Lord because of what is said in the press.

Senate Panel Probes 6 Top Televangelists

2007-11-06T19:53:00.000-07:00

Why is this happening in America?

Senate Panel Probes 6 Top Televangelists
Sen. Charles Grassley Asks Ministries To Turn Over Financial Records Within One Month
CBS News Interactive: Eye on Religion
(CBS) WASHINGTON CBS News has learned Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, is investigating six prominent televangelist ministries for possible financial misconduct. Letters were sent Monday to the ministries demanding that financial statements and records be turned over to the committee by December 6th. According to Grassley's office, the Iowa Republican is trying to determine whether or not these ministries are improperly using their tax-exempt status as churches to shield lavish lifestyles. The six ministries identified as being under investigation by the committee are led by: Paula White, Joyce Meyer, Creflo Dollar, Eddie Long, Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn. Three of the six - Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar - also sit on the Board of Regents for the Oral Roberts University. A spokesperson for Joyce Meyer Ministries provided CBS News with an IRS letter to the ministry dated October 10, 2007, that stated: "We determined that you continue to qualify as an organization exempt from Federal income tax." The letter could not be independently verified in time for this story. The ministry also pointed to audited financial statements for the last three years that are posted on the organization's Web site. In a statement, Benny Hinn's spokesperson, Ronn Torossian, said the ministry was in the process of determining the best course of action in response to the Senate investigation. "World Healing Center Church complies with the laws that govern church and non-profit organizations and will continue to do so," Torossian wrote. In a statement to CBS News, Creflo Dollar called his ministry an "open book" and said he would comply with any "valid request" from Grassley. But he noted that the inquiry raised questions that could "affect the privacy of every community church in America." The other three ministries did not respond to requests for comment from CBS News on Monday. Because they have tax status as churches, the ministries do not have to file IRS 990 forms like other non-profit organizations - leaving much financial information largely behind closed doors. The letters sent Monday were the culmination of a long investigation fueled in part by complaints from Ole Anthony, a crusader against religious fraud who operates the Dallas-based Trinity Foundation, which describes itself as a watchdog monitoring religious media, fraud and abuse. "We've been working with them for two years," Anthony told CBS News. "We have furnished them with enough information to fill a small Volkswagen." Anthony said after twenty years of working with media organizations to expose televangelists, he saw little reform. He says that's why he turned to another tactic, going straight to Grassley. He is confident that Grassley's inquiry will be different, "What we hope is that this will lead to reform in religious nonprofits." The structure of many televangelist organizations - in which the leadership is often concentrated in one person or one family - has itself been the target of criticism. "Churches like these are ruled as a dictatorship," says Rod Pitzer, who directs research at Ministry Watch in North Carolina, which provides advice for donors to Christian organizations. Pitzer welcomes the Senate committee investigation. Ministries lacking accountability, he says, "give a black eye to churches and Christians who are trying to do things in the right manner."

One God, One Faith and One Baptism

2007-10-08T23:02:00.000-06:00

There is only one God who is Father in creation, Son in redemption and Holy Spirit who lives in those of us who will receive Him.

The God I serve is the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.

The God of the universe is not Allah or any other false god who has no power.

The God I serve heals people, delivers people and sets people free from bondage; he does not put them into bondage.

There is only one true living God.

What god are you serving?

To a fool a lie sounds better than the truth!

2007-06-27T10:23:00.000-06:00

To a fool a lie sounds better than the truth!

Do you know someone like this?

How do you avoid such characters?

Why do they all seem to live near the mountains ?

Why do we encounter these liars in ministry and business?

Do they know that "All Liars" will have a part in the "Lake of Fire" according to the Apostle John who wrote the book of "Revelation?"

Do you know the truth will set you free?

Why are men killing their wives and girl friends, then destroying the children of these unions and then committing suicide?

2007-06-26T20:51:00.000-06:00

Why are men killing their wives and girl friends, then destroying the children of these unions and then committing suicide?

By: Loren C. (Paul) Due, Ph.D.

The Challenge:
This subject is one that begs many questions and leaves untold stories of victims placed on cold slabs in the morgue. Men (or should we say immature males) killing their wives and girl friends, then destroying the children and finally (these same “macho” men) killing themselves! Some of the triggers for this kind of heinous murder are jealousy, strife, self-hatred, bitterness, hate, and envy.
The purpose of this article is to:
· heighten your awareness of this subject
· encourage you to reach out to women you suspect may be victims of abuse
· challenge you to spread a warning about the frequency with which this kind of atrocity is happening in America.
The Solution:
The real solution to this life challenge has three components that would probably be better suited for a long tedious article. Unfortunately, we do not have the time to do the subject justice, but feel it is important to alert you to the murdering taking place that affects our daughters, sisters, mothers, aunts, and other innocent females. Therefore, the immediate solution is to let people know that this kind of murder is going on far too often in America.
God said in the Ten Commandments, “Thou shalt not kill.” There needs to be a way to educate young people around the country that there are those, most often men, who have an assignment from Satan to destroy families. These killing machines were part of the last wave of demons released by Satan as he continues his frontal assault on human kind before Jesus Christ returns for His Church.
The Outcome:
One of the many solutions for this kind of murder would be for churches with twenty-four hour prayer to add this situation to the prayer list. Another solution is for more people to talk about this kind of murder and sound the alarm.
Young couples are fertile ground for this kind of demonic activity, especially young couples who are not married but cohabitating. Another group open for this kind of demonic attack are young women who suffer from rejection and lack of love from their father. This type of woman needs attention from mothers and fathers who are grounded in love and in God.
We may not be able to stop all murders, but let’s accept the challenge, spread the warnings, and see if we can perhaps stop another senseless murder from occurring in the murder capital of the world – America.

Where are the true prophetess (women) of God?

2007-06-25T22:33:00.000-06:00

Prophets rebuked for prophesying from the flesh
[Ezekiel 13:17 (KJV) Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them.]
The prophet Ezekiel is instructed by the Lord to speak against women prophets who prophesy out of their flesh and cause people to be trapped like birds. These prophetesses today are called psychics and God’s people have no business going to a psychic for instruction or any information. Psychics are usually found in the world where they nickel and dime people for every word they give. The gift of a psychic is not like that of a prophetess who gets direction from the Holy Spirit.
The first scripture used in this writing is a rebuke or warning scripture.
Prophetesses who are grounded in the Word of God will receive a word of rebuke with love and understanding even if it does not apply to them; they will have an attitude of love and obedience to being a true servant of God.

Principal established that sons and daughters would prophesy (See Romans 11:29)
[Joel 2:28-29 (KJV) (See Acts 2:16 – 18) And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: [29] And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.]
· Prophesy is not something new for God’s kingdom; the first named prophet in the Bible was Enoch and the last mentioned was John the Revelator. Those names were mentioned in the Holy Bible; God had Joel to prophesy that your sons and daughters would prophesy, which means that many other people not named in the Bible would use the gift given by God to speak a word when appropriate.
· It is significant that God had Joel to prophesy the statement and Luke the Beloved Physician when he wrote the book of Acts to repeat it. Repetition was necessary so no one could say God has stop using prophets (sons) and prophetess (daughters) today.
· If the truth be told as it should; we need the prophets and prophetess more than ever because of the times we live in that are filled with evil, jealousy, envy, strife, hate for things that are good, and all the rest of the wrath from Satan because he will never be loved by God again.
· God made several promises by the prophet Joel and God is not a man that will lie. God is a true God.
· The pouring out of the spirit on all flesh is available for those who will receive it.
· Gifts and callings are without repentance and those who have the gift of prophesy have a choice to use their gift for God or Satan. One thing God will not do is violate our will. Human kind has to have a will to use the gift for God.
· Have you reviewed a dream by an older man recently?
· Have you reviewed a vision by a young man recently?
· This that God has is not just for prophets and prophetess, but it is for all (servants and handmaids).
· As the prophet Isaiah said, “If you be willing and obedient you will eat the good of the land,” the good of the land today is to receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of other tongues. That is the gift that God has for those who will receive.

Miriam
[Exodus 15:20 (KJV) And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.]
· The first female prophetess mentioned in the Bible.
· Here we find the sister of the great prophet and emancipator – Moses.

Deborah
[Judges 4:4 (KJV) And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.]
· Deborah was a prophetess and judge with such an awesome responsibility and all the women who were named after Deborah the prophetess by there parents.

Huldah
[2 Kings 22:14 (KJV) So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college ;) and they communed with her.]
· It is so precious to see how the scriptures describe Huldah a prophetess and person of esteem who was only one of two people not of the house of David to be buried in Jerusalem at that time.

Noadiah
[Nehemiah 6:14 (KJV) My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.]
· It is unfortunate that someone has to be seen in a negative light, but Noadiah the prophetesses consorted with the dark side to speak against Nehemiah. A true prophet of God would not seek a word contrary to what God gave an individual.

Isaiah’s wife
[Isaiah 8:3 (KJV) And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.]
· Isaiah’s wife was not only a prophetess but also a mother which meant that more prophets and prophetess would be born to the glory of God.

Elisabeth
[Luke 1:41-45 (KJV) And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: [42] And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. [43] And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? [44] For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. [45] And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.]
· A daughter of Aaron born with the gift and demonstrated the gift when she said “Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.” This phrase is said every day by individuals who think Mary was always a virgin; she was not.
· Elisabeth was the first prophetess filled with Holy Spirit; filled with the Holy Spirit is a prerequisite for complete use of the gift and office of prophecy. There are prophets and prophetess, who are not filled with the Holy Spirit that prophesy, however, they are not working at their optimum. Remember, gifts and callings are without repentance; the choice to receive Christ in our life and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit is our choice – God leaves it to us to accept or reject His precious gift.

Anna
[Luke 2:36-38 (KJV) And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; [37] And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. [38] And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.]
She was of the tribe of Aser one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Here we find a woman of God faithful to her dead husband by not remarrying and extremely faithful to God by staying in the temple night and day.
She fasted and prayed before Jesus said some things come out only by fasting and praying.
She spoke of the coming Messiah.

Daughters of Phillip
[Acts 21:9 (KJV) And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.]
Depending on the version of the Holy Bible you review; one version (NASB-U) out of many used the term prophetess instead of prophesy.
These young women were born with the “gift” and they were probably learning how to use their “gift” to the glory of God.
These young women was a direct fulfillment of the prophesy in the book of Joel and Acts.

Jezebel
[Rev. 2:20 (KJV) Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.]
The prophet John goes right to the point by exposing Jezebel; she had the “gift” like the other prophetess above; the problem is that she used it perversely.
The church then and now refused to confront Jezebel, Jesus doctrine in Matthew 18:15-17 gives the process by which to confront and deal with these kinds of situations.
The church leaders at Thyatira ignored “that woman Jezebel,” but God did not. God said he gave her time to repent, but she refused. Has anyone ever met a person with the Jezebel spirit who has repented in the twenty-first century?
The Jezebel spirit can possess a man or women; another name for the Jezebel spirit in men is Ahab; the name Ahab comes, from the first man in the bible named Ahab possessed by this spirit.
Notice the Apostle John says that Jezebel calls herself a prophetess, when other people see and recognize the gift in you, you do not have to call yourself any name. Proverbs says that your gift will make room for you.
The sin that Jezebel practices is the sin that the Elders in Jerusalem told the Gentile converts to avoid; the Gentiles were instructed in Acts 15:20 (KJV) But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
One of the main instruments of Satan is the use of the spirit of seduction; notice Jezebel uses seduction as a tool to get people to commit fornication.
The other sin of Jezebel is to get people to eat things sacrificed to idols.
Have you ever met anyone possessed by the Jezebel spirit who repented and turned from his or her evil way?

General Comments about Prophetess and Prophets
The question must be raised, “Where are the true prophetesses of God,” which actually begs another question that must be answered first. That question is why do only some of the Christian churches in America accept and allow prophetess and prophets to move freely among the congregation. Prophetess and prophets should be in every Christian church in America. Jesus at the time he went back to heaven made a very direct gift’s to the church. Those gifts are enumerated in Ephesians 4:11 (KJV) “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.” You would think that if Jesus went to the trouble of identifying the five-fold ministry that church leaders would be doing all they could to receive an apostle, a prophet (prophetess), an evangelist, a pastor and a teacher into the local ministry.

When proper relationship and accountability is established, a prophetess and/or a prophet could be one of the best friends of a local pastor and the ministry team. Pastors and other local church leaders are not in the perfect will of God when they fail to use all the team members given them by the Holy Spirit. Church leadership should use all the team members of the five-fold ministry. Some indication suggests churches without the five-fold ministry are lacking funds to pay for all ministers of the five fold and another leading reason is that the Pastor only model does not want to share authority and responsibility.

Are there really, that many insecure and not anointed leaders in the Christian church? It seems that there is a fear of the full five-fold ministry and specific to this article there seems to be a direct fear of prophetess and prophets. Could it be that the gift these individuals possess frightens church leaders because they are afraid that they may be exposed. Whatever the real reason we do not see the prophetess and prophets operating in American churches, those reasons must cease; in order for Prophet Joel’s words to come alive and the full flow that God ordained may be experienced by all.

The spirit of boldness will come on those prophetess and prophets who are not allowed to freely flow in the anointing in there local assembly to minister. This spirit of boldness will allow the prophetess and prophets to minister to people who are willing to receive a word from the Lord in the church or out of it. We are living in the last of the last days before Christ returns the first time to catch the bride away and there are many souls not going to traditional churches, God has a word for many of those people not in the traditional church. Understand that the spirit of boldness is going to manifest itself in an incredible way and no system or no man/woman will stop the end-time work from coming forth out-of-the mouths of God’s ordained and chosen.

Whether in the traditional or non-traditional setting prophetess and prophets need to be free to use the gift given by the Holy Spirit so that they may work out their salvation with fear and trembling. The beauty of the gift from God for a full prophetess or full prophet is that they are able to see the past, present, and the future. When a prophetess or prophet is a seer, they are at the highest level of the office that man or woman may obtain. There are seers (male and female), prophetesses, and prophets in the land now and they are available to minister, as doors are open by the Holy Spirit. Those in leadership who will teach the body of Christ about the office and gift of prophecy are doing a great service to the Church so that saints will have knowledge and know how to receive a seer, prophetess, or prophet.

A true prophetess or prophet of God will never prophesy a word that is contrary to God’s Holy Bible. The Apostle Paul gives the process by which prophecy is delivered in 1 Corinthians 14:29-33 (NIV), it says, “Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. 30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. 31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. 33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints.” There is no confusion in the heavenly kingdom; the kingdom of God is the primary kingdom that we must operate in on this earth, even when it is different from the kingdom of man. We must learn to trust God and believe in and operate in His kingdom. We are citizens of heaven and are temporarily here on this earth; earth is not our home.

There are only two kinds of prophetess and prophets either good = obeying the spirit of God or false = obeying the spirit of Satan. There is no in between. Prophetess and prophets walk in the light or in darkness; Isaiah says it best in Isaiah 8:19-20 (KJV) “And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? [20] To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” The point of emphasis is, if a prophetess or prophet has behavior like Balaam he or she is an instrument of Satan. However, if you are not convinced that the last statement is accurate, then you should proceed at your own caution.

Seers, prophetess, and prophets are encouraged to be careful not to give a word from their own spirit or flesh because people who get a word are expecting that word to be directly from the Lord.

The primary encouragement of this article is that the church world incorporates the use of seers, prophetess, and prophets in all aspects of ministry when possible. One irrefutable claim is that Jesus said that when He was sent back to catch the bride away He would be coming back for a complete church; so how can the church be complete if only “Pastors” are the whole ministry team?

To Larry Manzanares

2007-06-24T22:04:00.000-06:00

I hope the media guros are elated over their latest murder,

When Larry pulled the trigger it was actually pulled by all the bullies in the "media."

When will the media start to deal with areas of serious threat to society; what is America going to do when all the gangs unify and take city down by city?

What is the media going to do when young people are actually approaching older people for sex because they have been exposed to sex on the internet, not because they have been abused or fondled or molested?

Will the media ever do anything that is uplifting and positive, rather than brag about the latest trophies they have won?

How many murders will you commit and get away? This is not your first nor last murder! You the "media" are gulity of killing Larry Manzanares.

Enjoy your Emmy or Pulitzer!

Voodoo - Eros

2007-06-23T21:34:00.000-06:00

This book confirms many of the concepts about blacks that the Holy Spirit placed in my spirit concerning the behavior of Afro-Americans who are in actuality still trying to recreate activities from the mother-land.

This book covers the following categories: Clothing, Ornanment, Hair-Dress, Decoration of the Skin, The Body, Hygiene, Social Differentitiation of the Sex, Relation of the Sexes to Each Other, Cicumcision, Courtship, Defloration and Coition, Menstruation, Pregnancy, Care of Children, Widowhood and Prostitution, Married Life, Infidelity of the Husband and Jealousy, Infidelity of the Wife, Feminine Love, Masculine Potency and Onanism, Tribady and Pederarty, Sodomy, Veneral Diseases and White-Black Bastardy.

At least now I know that someone else had an interest in Africans and their sexual behavior.

"Voodoo - EROS, Ethnological Studies in the Sex-Life of the African Aborigines"

2007-05-28T11:03:00.000-06:00

The Lord blessed me to come accros this book last week; it is one of only 500 published in the world in 1933 and written by Felix Bryk, translated from the German by Mayne F. Sexton.

When you read my book in a few weeks you will see where I stated that 5 of the 300 books and films reviewed by me made comments in effect that "Black People" were not worth researching because they felt non - anglos were not human.

The Holy Spirit answered my request to find someone who agrees with the Holy Spirit who has published a book and knows that "Black People" are not animals as some believed many years ago and some yet believe that today.

I will share more of my findings from this book later, however, let me give you the last statement found in this book: "Black Astarte is of the same blood as white Venus"

Why” Don’t Say a Word about This!”

2007-05-27T21:49:00.000-06:00

The book “Don’t Say a Word about This” exists because it seems no one is ready to take the banner and become the poster person for sexual abuse and other related sexual issues. It seems that no one is willing to put their life on the line for issues that polarize and paralyzed our society.

When is the last time you heard a sermon coming from a place of love on the issues of sex and sexuality? When is the last time you were able to talk to anyone about your questions concerning sex and sexuality? More than likely the answer to both questions for you is never. Why is that? It seems that most churches, church leaders, and church members are in agreement with the world concerning this matter - they will not intelligently discuss sex and sexuality without it becoming a heated discussion or bashing of someone.

These groups by being silent and secretive about sex and sexuality have in effect given much power to the men and women who supply pornography, sexual material, and related sexual subjects. The “Church,” church leaders, and members do not realize to be ignorant by choice only gives power to the enemy to use the ignorance as a weapon of mass destruction.

Each group that represents some form of organized religion or Christianity has misinterpreted the writings of one the chief writers of the Bible – the Apostle Paul. This misinterpretation has gone on for almost two thousand years, which conveniently works in the favor of those who make lots of money off sex and sexuality. You have to ask yourself why the “Church,” church leaders, and members allowed the church to be in the dark ages about sex and sexuality? Are these group leaders gaining some kind of financial remuneration for fostering ignorance?

Alternatively, is the posture of some in the “Church,” and some church leaders to protect the elite who do as they want in matters of sex and sexuality and leave the rest of the group to fiend for themselves?

The Father gave me a call to expose, uncover, and reveal sex and sexuality in a loving and caring way to people who are in the church and out of it. The book “Don’t Say a Word About This” constitutes three sources of information: 1) A complete review of the Holy Bible on all issues of sex and sexuality, 2) Review of over three hundred secular books and films, and 3) Vignettes from counseling sessions and other life situations as examples of reality.

Can a brother get some help? The way you can help is by telling your “Church,” your Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher, or Priest, your friends, your enemies and others about this blog.

Let's Talk Sex

2007-05-09T07:29:00.000-06:00

Let us talk about sex in a way that you will not hear in most churches or some homes. Sex is not dirty when done in a way to give God glory and thanksgiving for a most precious gift. Most churches and ministers are not prepared to share with you straight sex talk and in the same breathe show you in the Bible where it is crossed referenced. We are not here to bash ministers because I am one, but we are going to cover sex from A to Z in the Bible and out of the Bible.

If you are a Christian, you have been expecting your minister to follow the instruction given by the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 4^th chapter. The Apostle Paul instructs those called to teach the body of Christ to “equip” the saints. Are you equipped with an informed understanding of sex in the church and out of it? Since we are tripartite being consisting of body, soul and spirit, it is most important for the body to know its full function in an era where most emphasis by Christian teachers relates to the spirit. It is time that you be equipped with more than a working knowledge of money, why not be exposed to what so many are looking for on the internet and in empty relationships – love.

Recently in a conversation with a minister over 50 it was disclosed that he was elated to know he would be able if his wife agreed to it, to enjoy sex even in his 60’s, 70’s and 80’s if they maintain their health. So many people seem to think that sex stops when you turn 55 or 60. For some unhealthy reason some who are avid Christians are under the impression that if they are not having sex to produce an offspring they should not have sex. Wow. Chronological age does not stop you, but rather your mental attitude.

Are you living a healthy life now, so when you come to the age of retirement you will be able to enjoy all aspects of life, including sex? Yes, Christians like anybody else should enjoy sex after they bear children. As we see from the Bible most people, including priest married and lived long healthy lives. The reason Jesus did not marry allowed him to be an unblemished sacrifice for the world. The lie that some religions tell that they are not marrying as priest is deception to make the world think they are holy because they are not married.

We will talk in more detail about what the Bible has to say about sexual relations, however, for now let’s say it is very healthy to have sexual relations when you are married, otherwise abstinence is the way to go.

Why do some married couples when they feel they have enough children decide that they should have an abortion instead of giving the child that God blessed them with up for adoption?

Abortion in America illustrates to the world how some Americans feel about the gift of life. It is interesting that Abortion and Abstinence both start with the letter “A”. Is there a link between the two words other than the actions taken by the individual? Abortion is the easy way out of the situation of unwanted pregnancy. Arjeana will discuss abortion in a future article.

Marriage and divorce statistics cause many to wonder if the institution that God created will survive – yes it will. The people who are making those accusations operate without knowledge God’s provision for humankind. For those who believe the Bible, God established marriage in the book of Genesis and it will remain one of God’s established institutions until Jesus returns for his bride. Premarital counseling needs to be stringent for couples before they marry that will provide better preparation for marriage. Too many people enter into marriage immature and unprepared for some of life’s basic challenges.
