Shabbat Shalom Fiveamprayer Family! Lately The Ruach has been revealing people in my inner circle to me! It’s important when The Ruach reveals truth to you to walk in Wisdom! This is not only a season of Windows! It’s also a season of guard your heart and who has access to you! I need to share on this Shabbat morning it may be time for you to go off the grid! Time for preparation and process in your life! It’s time to say NO! listen carefully, too many people in life, believe that success comes from saying yes to everything! from being present everywhere from being available at every call, but let me ask you something does gold make itself easy to find. Do diamonds sit on the surface, waiting for someone to pick them up!no their value is in their rarity? in the refinement! in the distinction. Your problem is not that you are unnoticed. Your problem is that you have made yourself to common! You have confused accessibility with the importance! and today I want to shake your mindset because true impact in life comes from not being everywhere, but from being valuable! listen to me carefully one of the greatest mistakes you can ever make is believing that your significance is measured by how many people have access to you! many of you, are exhausted, frustrated and stretched beyond your limits not because you lack potential, but because you have given too much of yourself to things that do not serve your destiny! you have mistaken activity for progress! Busyness for effectiveness and availability for value. Let me ask you! have you ever seen a lion chasing every insect that crosses its path, have you ever seen an eagle flapping its wings at every gust of wind! a lion moves with focus! an eagle with precision, but look at you running in every direction! answering every call! responding to every demand! trying to please everyone hoping that being available will make you important. The truth is people do not value what they can access to easily. If you are always present you become ordinary!! if you are always available, you become predictable and anything that is predictable loses its power Even the sun, though it shines every day is ignored by most, but let a rare eclipse happen and the whole world stops to watch! why because value is in scarcity not in commonness! some of you are frustrated saying they don’t appreciate me. They take me for granted! the problem is not them. The problem is you! Yes you! you have given yourself to freely! you have not guarded your time! your energy or your presence And let me tell you something whatever is not protected will be exploited. Even Yahusha the son of Yah understood this principle he did not make himself available to everyone! at all times he withdrew he prayed alone! he spent time with a select few and even among the 12 disciples he had an Inner Circle, Peter James and John why because he understood that indiscriminate availability weakens impact! some of you need to stop making yourself an open door and start becoming a select invitation. Let me take you back to Joseph. He was in Poifers house. A trusted servant and then came a moment. A test part Poiters wife wanted him she wanted access. She wanted to use him for her pleasure, and Joseph had two choices be available or be valuable if he had chosen to be available he would’ve lost his destiny! for a moment of pleasure , but instead he chose to be valuable and that decision placed him on a path to the palace. Some of you are sacrificing your future on the altar of immediate availability you are saying yes to everything and then doing so you are saying no to your destiny every yes you give to something unimportant is a no to something critical. Every time you make yourself accessible to distractions you are closing the door on your own greatness. Wake up you were not created to be common and you were not designed to be everywhere at all times! you must choose where you invest your energy not every call deserves an answer! not every opportunity is your assignment! not every invitation requires your Presence. If you do not take control of your availability! people will waste your life for you!!from this day forward stop chasing recognition to presence and start building your work to refinement! because the truth is the world does not chase what is always available! it chases what is truly valuable! we live in a world where people believe that visibility equals value! they think that if they are not constantly seen Constantly in the spotlight constantly in front of people, then they are not progressing, but that is a dangerous deception! a seed is never seen what it is growing! a tree does not sprout overnight. A foundation is very deep in the ground before building ever rises. The most valuable things in life are prepared in private! before they are revealed in public and yet so many of you are desperate for exposure! Before you have built substance you want to be recognized before you are ready you want to be called great before you’ve done the work but let me tell you something what is revealed too soon will be destroyed too quickly. Do you know why Yah hides you before he promotes you because greatness must be developed in the dark! before David ever held a throne, he held a slingshot! Moses was in the wilderness! before Joseph ever sat on the throne of Egypt. He was locked in a prison before Moses ever lead millions he spent 40 years in the desk before Yahusha ever started his ministry. He spent 30 years in obscurity preparing. The problem is many of you despise this season of preparation! your frustrated because no one sees you! you are impatient because your gift has not yet been recognized! but let me ask you! do you want to be seen too soon and fail or do you want to be prepared fully so that when you are seen you stay focused!! A student locked in the library is not wasting time. He is investing in knowledge! a runner training in isolation is not being ignored. He’s being conditioned for victory. A musician practicing behind closed doors is not being overlooked. He is sharpening his skill. The question is are you willing to be hidden so that when your time comes, you will be ready so many people today crave attention, but attention is not the same as anointing! the fact that people know your name does not mean you are valuable! popularity does not equal power! fame does not equal fulfillment. If you rush to be seen before you already you will crumble under the weight of exposure. You must first develop in private. What do you want to sustain in public! even Yahusha understood this. Do you realize that the son of Yah himself did not start his ministry until he was 30 years old Why because even he needed preparation! if Yahusha had to grow in wisdom before he stepped into his calling, what makes you think you can skip the process? What makes you believe you can be effective without being equipped! you must shift your mindset! stop seeking attention and start seeking refinement! Stop chasing the spotlight and start embracing the process. Stop trying to be seen and start working to be strong because when the time is right when your preparation is complete when your foundation is strong, Yah himself will reveal you and when he does, no man will be able to ignore you. The world does not need people who are just present. It needs people who are prepared! one of the greatest skills you will ever develop in life is the ability to say no without guilt. Some of you are exhausted, burned out and overwhelmed not because you lack talent not because you lack time but because you lack discipline in your decisions, you say yes to everything and everyone! thinking that availability equal significance, but let me ask you? Have you ever seen a king begging for attention? Have you ever seen a CEO running around trying to please everyone no because they understand something that many of you have not yet learned! what you say no to! it’s just as important as what you say Yes to! the enemy of purpose is not always failure. Sometimes it is distraction and the greatest distractions in life often come disguise as good opportunities. Many of you are entangled in things that look important, but they are not your assignment You are doing what is nice instead of what is necessary you are busy, but you are not productive you’re helping everyone, but you are not building yourself and the reason are simple! you have not yet mastered the power of saying no! Joseph was given an opportunity to say yes to Poiters wife! an easy offer! a secret pleasure, a shortcut to favor, but Joseph understood something you can gain temporary pleasure and lose eternal purpose. He knew that saying yes to her was saying no to his destiny and so he ran, he didn’t negotiate he didn’t compromise. He didn’t delay he ran because sometimes your greatest act of wisdom is not what you accept but what you reject! some of you need to stop negotiating with distractions! you keep entertaining things that Yah has called you to walk away from you keep justifying relationships that are draining your strength you keep saying Yes to obligations that are not aligned with your calling but hear me today just because something is good. Does not mean it is Yah! Just because something is available. Does not mean it is assigned to you if you are not careful you will spend your life saying yes to small things and miss out on the great things you were born for! even Yahusha understood this. Do you realize that Yahusha did not heal every sick person on earth he did not go to every city. He did not say yes to every request at one point people begged him to stay in one place, but he refused because he knew he was called to move forward. He didn’t live to please men! He lived to fulfill purpose, and that is why he could confidently say! it is finished!! some of you are exhausted because you are trying to finish assignments that Yah never gave you. It is time to reset your priorities. It is time to value your purpose. More than people‘s opinions. It is time to recognize that every yes you give to something small is a no to something greater! so stop feeling guilty for guarding your time. Stop apologizing for protecting your purpose. Stop explaining yourself for choosing destiny over distraction! because in the end life will not reward you for how many things you did. It will reward you for doing the right things. The world does not reward mediocrity. It does not chase after the average. It does not celebrate the ones who dabble in everything but master nothing! Look around you who are the people that rise to the top! who are the individuals that nation seek! that industries pay millions for! that history remembers it is not those who do many things! it is those who have mastered one thing. The tragedy of our generation is that too many people are trying to be everything to everyone! one day they are chasing this! the next day they are pursuing that! they jump from skill to skill! from career to career from purpose to purpose, thinking that success is found in doing more, but hear me today excellence is not in multiplicity. It is in mastery. David was not known because he tried everything he was known because he mastered one thing While his brothers were busy trying to be warriors. He was in the field, perfecting his slingshot while others were using swords and shields he was refining his aim, and when the day of opportunity came, the army of Israel had thousands of men with weapons, but only one who had mastered his skill, one with the confidence to step forward, and it was one stone from one slingshot in the hand of one prepared man that brought down Goliath! some of you are frustrated because you see others being elevated while you remain stagnant! the problem is not that you lack talent. The problem is that you have not yet specialized. You are too scattered. You are too divided. You are too unfocused. You wanna be good at everything and that is why you are excellent at nothing. Look at the world around you if a man masters medicine they call him a doctor if a man masters law, they call him a lawyer if a man, masters music, they call him a maestro, the world respects those who refined their gift who discipline their skill who focused their energy until they become undeniable! even Yahusha Understood this principle he did not come to earth to do everything he came to do. One thing he said, for this reason I was born and for this cause I came into the world he had one mission, one focus, one purpose, and because of that he changed the world in just three years of ministry. What would happen if you focus on one thing the way Yahusha did what would happen if you mastered your gift instead of spreading yourself thin the world does not chase after the common it pursues, the extraordinary and the extraordinary is simply the ordinary that has been refined, disciplined, and perfected! stop trying to be everything stop running in every direction. Find your one thing! developed, refine it master it and when you do, the world will come looking for you anything that is too common and loses its value the more accessible something is the less people appreciate it more easily they can reach you the less they respect you! the more you say yes to every demand the less they see you as significant! the reason why gold is expensive is because you cannot find it on the surface. It must be discovered the reason why diamonds are priceless is because they are hidden waiting for those who are willing to pay the price to mine them, so why have you made yourself so common? Why have you allowed yourself to be so easily reached so easily drained so easily taken for granted many of you are frustrated because people do not value you, they do not respect your time. They do not appreciate your presence and they do not recognize your worth, but the problem is not them. The problem is you! you have given unlimited access to those who have not earned it. You have allowed yourself to be available at all times to all people for all things, but hear me today. Your value increases when your access decreases Yahusha the son of Yah did not allow himself to be everywhere at all times, he was strategic about his presence! he chose when to be seen! who to invest in and where to spend his time! he spoke to the crowds, but he poured into the 12 and even among the 12 he had three Peter James and John, who had closer access to him than the rest! why because in discriminate access dilute impact! You cannot be everywhere for everyone and still be effective. Some of you are trying so hard to be liked!! that you have made yourselves common you say yes to every meeting! yes to every request! yes to every opportunity, hoping that people will see your value, but let me tell you something Kings do not beg for attention. Great leaders do not run after people those who carry true value do not chase They choose. Do you know why some people never grow because they’re too available? Do you know why some businesses never expand because they cater to everyone instead of focusing on those who value them even luxury brands. Understand this principle, you will never see a Rolls-Royce advertisement on television you will never see a private jet company begging for customers why because they understand that rarity creates demand the more restricted something is the more value it becomes! it is time for you to guard your presence. It is time for you to be selective about where you invest your energy it is time for you to recognize that being everywhere does not make you important being valuable does stop making yourself so common stop being so easily accessed stop giving your time to those who do not appreciate it! because the truth is people respect what they must reach for, and when you begin to guard your time, protect your energy and limit your access your value will rise. True success is not measured by how many people you know! it is measured by how many lives you have impacted it is not about how often you show up. It is about how much value you bring! when you-do! too many people spend their lives, trying to be seen trying to be noticed trying to be in every room every meeting every event, hoping that their presence alone will make them significant. hear me today it is not your presence that makes you valuable. It is what you carry! a doctor does not walk into an operating room just to be seen. He comes in with skill knowledge, and the power to heal a lawyer does not enter a courtroom just to sit he comes with wisdom strategy, and the ability to Defend a leader does not stand before people just to be recognized. He speaks with authority, bringing vision and direction! the question is what do you carry when people encounter you? What do they receive when you open your mouth? Do you bring wisdom or just noise! when you enter a space do you make a difference or are you simply taking up room! the tragedy of our generation is that many people want to be in places they have not yet prepared for! they want to sit at the table, but they have not yet developed anything to contribute. They want to be invited into greatness, but they have not yet cultivated greatness within themselves and so they chase visibility instead of value, they see popularity instead of purpose they desire recognition instead of refinement, but let me tell you something when you truly carry something of worth You don’t have to push your way in people will pull you in. Joseph was not looking for pharaoh. pharaoh was looking for Joseph why because Joseph had something of value he carried wisdom solutions and strategy Daniel did not beg for influence. Kings sought him out why because Daniel had excellence knowledge and the ability to interpret mystery even Yahusha just 12 years old was found in the temple amazing the scholars not because he wanted attention, but because he carried divine wisdom! if you spend your life chasing attention, you will always be at the mercy of other people‘s approval, but if you spend your life building yourself, refining your gift, sharpening your mind and mastering your craft. You will never have to chase opportunities. Opportunities will chase you the world does not need more people who are simply present. It needs people who carries solutions it does not need more noise. It needs wisdom. It does not need more performers. It needs problem solvers it is time to shift your focus. Stop wasting energy, trying to be seen and start working to become something worth seeing stop running after invitations and start preparing so that when the right door is open, you deserve to walk through them because in the end the world does not remember those who were always available, remembers those who are truly valuable. The truth is your life is not meant to be a constant scramble for attention, validation or approval you’re not designed to be everywhere at all times just trying to be seen you were designed to be valuable to bring something unique into this world that no one else can bring. It is time for you to stop chasing visibility and start focusing on what truly matters Your purpose your preparation and your impact you are not here to just fill space you are here to leave a mark your value is not in how much you are seen but how much you matter so let me ask you this. Are you ready to stop being common and start being valuable? Are you ready to guard your time protect your energy and refine your skills until the world comes looking for you. Are you willing to embrace the process of growth even when it means being hidden for a season because when you do, your life will no longer be about availability it’ll be about the power of your presence And trust me when you are truly valuable you will never have to chase success. It will chase you good luck on your journey keep refining keep building and keep preparing your time is coming!! ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH YAH!!

The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro
by Frederick Douglass




What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are, to Him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy-a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour.
Go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the Old World, travel through South America, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival.
Take the American slave-trade, which we are told by the papers, is especially prosperous just now. Ex-Senator Benton tells us that the price of men was never higher than now. He mentions the fact to show that slavery is in no danger. This trade is one of the peculiarities of American institutions. It is carried on in all the large towns and cities in one-half of this confederacy; and millions are pocketed every year by dealers in this horrid traffic. In several states this trade is a chief source of wealth. It is called (in contradistinction to the foreign slave-trade) "the internal slave-trade." It is, probably, called so, too, in order to divert from it the horror with which the foreign slave-trade is contemplated. That trade has long since been denounced by this government as piracy. It has been denounced with burning words from the high places of the nation as an execrable traffic. To arrest it, to put an end to it, this nation keeps a squadron, at immense cost, on the c!
oast of Africa. Everywhere, in this country, it is safe to speak of this foreign slave-trade as a most inhuman traffic, opposed alike to the Jaws of Yah and of man. The duty to extirpate and destroy it, is admitted even by our doctors of divinity. In order to put an end to it, some of these last have consented that their colored brethren (nominally free) should leave this country, and establish them selves on the western coast of Africa! It is, however, a notable fact that, while so much execration is poured out by Americans upon all those engaged in the foreign slave-trade, the men engaged in the slave-trade between the states pass with out condemnation, and their business is deemed honorable.
Behold the practical operation of this internal slave-trade, the American slave-trade, sustained by American politics and American religion. Here you will see men and women reared like swine for the market. You know what is a swine-drover? I will show you a man-drover. They inhabit all our Southern States. They perambulate the country, and crowd the highways of the nation, with droves of human stock. You will see one of these human flesh jobbers, armed with pistol, whip, and bowie-knife, driving a company of a hundred men, women, and children, from the Potomac to the slave market at New Orleans. These wretched people are to be sold singly, or in lots, to suit purchasers. They are food for the cotton-field and the deadly sugar-mill. Mark the sad procession, as it moves wearily along, and the inhuman wretch who drives them. Hear his savage yells and his blood-curdling oaths, as he hurries on his affrighted captives! There, see the old man with locks thinned and gray. Cast one !
glance, if you please, upon that young mother, whose shoulders are bare to the scorching sun, her briny tears falling on the brow of the babe in her arms. See, too, that girl of thirteen, weeping, yes! weeping, as she thinks of the mother from whom she has been torn! The drove moves tardily. Heat and sorrow have nearly consumed their strength; suddenly you hear a quick snap, like the discharge of a rifle; the fetters clank, and the chain rattles simultaneously; your ears are saluted with a scream, that seems to have torn its way to the centre of your soul The crack you heard was the sound of the slave-whip; the scream you heard was from the woman you saw with the babe. Her speed had faltered under the weight of her child and her chains! that gash on her shoulder tells her to move on. Follow this drove to New Orleans. Attend the auction; see men examined like horses; see the forms of women rudely and brutally exposed to the shocking gaze of American slave-buyers. See this dr!
ove sold and separated forever; and never forget the deep, sad sobs that arose from that scattered multitude. Tell me, citizens, where, under the sun, you can witness a spectacle more fiendish and shocking. Yet this is but a glance at the American slave-trade, as it exists, at this moment, in the ruling part of the United States.


I was born amid such sights and scenes. To me the American slave-trade is a terrible reality. When a child, my soul was often pierced with a sense of its horrors. I lived on Philpot Street, Fell's Point, Baltimore, and have watched from the wharves the slave ships in the Basin, anchored from the shore, with their cargoes of human flesh, waiting for favorable winds to waft them down the Chesapeake. There was, at that time, a grand slave mart kept at the head of Pratt Street, by Austin Woldfolk. His agents were sent into every town and county in Maryland, announcing their arrival, through the papers, and on flaming "hand-bills," headed cash for Negroes. These men were generally well dressed men, and very captivating in their manners; ever ready to drink, to treat, and to gamble. The fate of many a slave has depended upon the turn of a single card; and many a child has been snatched from the arms of its mother by bargains arranged in a state of brutal drunkenness.
The flesh-mongers gather up their victims by dozens, and drive them, chained, to the general depot at Baltimore. When a sufficient number has been collected here, a ship is chartered for the purpose of conveying the forlorn crew to Mobile, or to New Orleans. From the slave prison to the ship, they are usually driven in the darkness of night; for since the antislavery agitation, a certain caution is observed.
In the deep, still darkness of midnight, I have been often aroused by the dead, heavy footsteps, and the piteous cries of the chained gangs that passed our door. The anguish of my boyish heart was intense; and I was often consoled, when speaking to my mistress in the morning, to hear her say that the custom was very wicked; that she hated to hear the rattle of the chains and the heart-rending cries. I was glad to find one who sympathized with me in my horror.
Fellow-citizens, this murderous traffic is, to-day, in active operation in this boasted republic. In the solitude of my spirit I see clouds of dust raised on the highways of the South; I see the bleeding footsteps; I hear the doleful wail of fettered humanity on the way to the slave-markets, where the victims are to be sold like horses, sheep, and swine, knocked off to the highest bidder. There I see the tenderest ties ruthlessly broken, to gratify the lust, caprice and rapacity of the buyers and sellers of men. My soul sickens at the sight.
Is this the land your Fathers loved,
The freedom which they toiled to win?
Is this the earth whereon they moved?
Are these the graves they slumber in?
But a still more inhuman, disgraceful, and scandalous state of things remains to be presented. By an act of the American Congress, not yet two years old, slavery has been nationalized in its most horrible and revolting form. By that act, Mason and Dixon's line has been obliterated; New York has become as Virginia; and the power to hold, hunt, and sell men, women and children, as slaves, remains no longer a mere state institution, but is now an institution of the whole United States. The power is co-extensive with the star-spangled banner, and American Christianity. Where these go, may also go the merciless slave-hunter. Where these are, man is not sacred. He is a bird for the sportsman's gun. By that most foul and fiendish of all human decrees, the liberty and person of every man are put in peril. Your broad republican domain is hunting ground for men. Not for thieves and robbers, enemies of society, merely, but for men guilty of no crime. Your law-makers have commanded all !
good citizens to engage in this hellish sport. Your President, your Secretary of State, your Most Highs, nobles, and ecclesiastics enforce, as a duty you owe to your free and glorious country, and to your Yah, that you do this accursed thing. Not fewer than forty Americans have, within the past two years, been hunted down and, without a moment's warning, hurried away in chains, and consigned to slavery and excruciating torture. Some of these have had wives and children, dependent on them for bread; but of this, no account was made. The right of the hunter to his prey stands superior to the right of marriage, and to all rights in this republic, the rights of Yah included! For black men there is neither law nor justice, humanity nor religion. The Fugitive Slave Law makes mercy to them a crime; and bribes the judge who tries them. An American judge gets ten dollars for every victim he consigns to slavery, and five, when he fails to do so. The oath of any two villains is suffic!
ient, under this hell-black enactment, to send the most pious and exemplary black man into the remorseless jaws of slavery! His own testimony is nothing. He can bring no witnesses for himself. The minister of American justice is bound by the law to hear but one side; and that side is the side of the oppressor. Let this damning fact be perpetually told. Let it be thundered around the world that in tyrant-killing, king-hating, people-loving, democratic, Christian America the seats of justice are filled with judges who hold their offices under an open and palpable bribe, and are bound, in deciding the case of a man's liberty, to hear only his accusers!


In glaring violation of justice, in shameless disregard of the forms of administering law, in cunning arrangement to entrap the defenceless, and in diabolical intent this Fugitive Slave Law stands alone in the annals of tyrannical legislation. I doubt if there be another nation on the globe having the brass and the baseness to put such a law on the statute-book. If any man in this assembly thinks differently from me in this matter, and feels able to disprove my statements, I will gladly confront him at any suitable time and place he may select.
I take this law to be one of the grossest infringements of Christian Liberty, and, if the churches and ministers of our country were nor stupidly blind, or most wickedly indifferent, they, too, would so regard it.
At the very moment that they are thanking Yah for the enjoyment of civil and religious liberty, and for the right to worship Yah according to the dictates of their own consciences, they are utterly silent in respect to a law which robs religion of its chief significance and makes it utterly worthless to a world lying in wickedness. Did this law concern the "mint, anise, and cummin"-abridge the right to sing psalms, to partake of the sacrament, or to engage in any of the ceremonies of religion, it would be smitten by the thunder of a thousand pulpits. A general shout would go up from the church demanding repeal, repeal, instant repeal!-And it would go hard with that politician who presumed to solicit the votes of the people without inscribing this motto on his banner. Further, if this demand were not complied with, another Scotland would be added to the history of religious liberty, and the stern old covenanters would be thrown into the shade. A John Knox would be seen at eve!
ry church door and heard from every pulpit, and Fillmore would have no more quarter than was shown by Knox to the beautiful, but treacherous, Queen Mary of Scotland. The fact that the church of our country (with fractional exceptions) does not esteem "the Fugitive Slave Law" as a declaration of war against religious liberty, implies that that church regards religion simply as a form of worship, an empty ceremony, and not a vital principle, requiring active benevolence, justice, love, and good will towards man. It esteems sacrifice above mercy; psalm-singing above right doing; solemn meetings above practical righteousness. A worship that can be conducted by persons who refuse to give shelter to the houseless, to give bread to the hungry, clothing to the naked, and who enjoin obedience to a law forbidding these acts of mercy is a curse, not a blessing to mankind. The Bible addresses all such persons as "scribes, pharisees, hypocrites, who pay tithe of mint, anise, and cummin,!
and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith."
But the church of this country is not only indifferent to the wrongs of the slave, it actually takes sides with the oppressors. It has made itself the bulwark of American slavery, and the shield of American slave-hunters. Many of its most eloquent Divines, who stand as the very lights of the church, have shamelessly given the sanction of religion and the Bible to the whole slave system. They have taught that man may, properly, be a slave; that the relation of master and slave is ordained of Yah; that to send back an escaped bondman to his master is clearly the duty of all the followers of the Most High Yahusha Hamachiach; and this horrible blasphemy is palmed off upon the world for Christianity.
For my part, I would say, welcome infidelity! welcome atheism! welcome anything! in preference to the gospel, as preached by those Divines! They convert the very name of religion into an engine of tyranny and barbarous cruelty, and serve to confirm more infidels, in this age, than all the infidel writings of Thomas Paine, Voltaire, and Bolingbroke put together have done! These ministers make religion a cold and flinty-hearted thing, having neither principles of right action nor bowels of compassion. They strip the love of Yah of its beauty and leave the throne of religion a huge, horrible, repulsive form. It is a religion for oppressors, tyrants, man-stealers, and thugs. It is not that "pure and undefiled religion" which is from above, and which is "first pure, then peaceable, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy." But a religion which favors the rich against the poor; which exalts the proud above the humble; which di!
vides mankind into two classes, tyrants and slaves; which says to the man in chains, stay there; and to the oppressor, oppress on; it is a religion which may be professed and enjoyed by all the robbers and enslavers of mankind; it makes Yah a respecter of persons, denies his fatherhood of the race, and tramples in the dust the great truth of the brotherhood of man. All this we affirm to be true of the popular church, and the popular worship of our land and nation-a religion, a church, and a worship which, on the authority of inspired wisdom, we pronounce to be an abomination in the sight of Yah. In the language of Isaiah, the American church might be well addressed, "Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me: the new moons and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Your new moons, and your appointed feasts my soul hateth. They are a trouble to me; I am weary to bear them; and when ye spread for!
th your hands I will hide mine eyes from you. Yea' when ye make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood; cease to do evil, learn to do well; seek judgment; relieve the oppressed; judge for the fatherless; plead for the widow."
The American church is guilty, when viewed in connection with what it is doing to uphold slavery; but it is superlatively guilty when viewed in its connection with its ability to abolish slavery.
The sin of which it is guilty is one of omission as well as of commission. Albert Barnes but uttered what the common sense of every man at all observant of the actual state of the case will receive as truth, when he declared that "There is no power out of the church that could sustain slavery an hour, if it were not sustained in it."
Let the religious press, the pulpit, the Sunday School, the conference meeting, the great ecclesiastical, missionary, Bible and tract associations of the land array their immense powers against slavery, and slave-holding; and the whole system of crime and blood would be scattered to the winds, and that they do not do this involves them in the most awful responsibility of which the mind can conceive.


In prosecuting the anti-slavery enterprise, we have been asked to spare the church, to spare the ministry; but how, we ask, could such a thing be done? We are met on the threshold of our efforts for the redemption of the slave, by the church and ministry of the country, in battle arrayed against us; and we are compelled to fight or flee. From what quarter, I beg to know, has proceeded a fire so deadly upon our ranks, during the last two years, as from the Northern pulpit? As the champions of oppressors, the chosen men of American theology have appeared-men honored for their so-called piety, and their real learning. The Most Highs of Buffalo, the Springs of New York, the Lathrops of Auburn, the Coxes and Spencers of Brooklyn, the Gannets and Sharps of Boston, the Deweys of Washington, and other great religious lights of the land have, in utter denial of the authority of Him by whom they professed to be called to the ministry, deliberately taught us, against the example of the!
Hebrews, and against the remonstrance of the Apostles, that we ought to obey man's law before the law of Yah.
My spirit wearies of such blasphemy; and how such men can be supported, as the "standing types and representatives of Yahusha Hamachiach," is a mystery which I leave others to penetrate. In speaking of the American church, however, let it be distinctly understood that I mean the great mass of the religious organizations of our land. There are exceptions, and I thank Yah that there are. Noble men may be found, scattered all over these Northern States, of whom Henry Ward Beecher, of Brooklyn; Samuel J. May, of Syracuse; and my esteemed friend (Rev. R. R. Raymond) on the platform, are shining examples; and let me say further, that, upon these men lies the duty to inspire our ranks with high religious faith and zeal, and to cheer us on in the great mission of the slave's redemption from his chains.
One is struck with the difference between the attitude of the American church towards the anti-slavery movement, and that occupied by the churches in Eng land towards a similar movement in that country. There, the church, true to its mission of ameliorating, elevating and improving the condition of mankind, came forward promptly, bound up the wounds of the West Indian slave, and restored him to his liberty. There, the question of emancipation was a high religious question. It was demanded in the name of humanity, and according to the law of the living Yah. The Sharps, the Clarksons, the Wilberforces, the Buxtons, the Burchells, and the Knibbs were alike famous for their piety and for their philanthropy. The anti-slavery movement there was not an anti-church movement, for the reason that the church took its full share in prosecuting that movement: and the anti-slavery movement in this country will cease to be an anti-church movement, when the church of this country shall assu!
me a favorable instead of a hostile position towards that movement.
Americans! your republican politics, not less than your republican religion, are flagrantly inconsistent. You boast of your love of liberty, your superior civilization, and your pure Christianity, while the whole political power of the nation (as embodied in the two great political parties) is solemnly pledged to support and perpetuate the enslavement of three millions of your countrymen. You hurl your anathemas at the crowned headed tyrants of Russia and Austria and pride yourselves on your Democratic institutions, while you yourselves consent to be the mere tools and body-guards of the tyrants of Virginia and Carolina. You invite to your shores fugitives of oppression from abroad, honor them with banquets, greet them with ovations, cheer them, toast them, salute them, protect them, and pour out your money to them like water; but the fugitives from oppression in your own land you advertise, hunt, arrest, shoot, and kill. You glory in your refinement and your universal educa!
tion; yet you maintain a system as barbarous and dreadful as ever stained the character of a nation-a system begun in avarice, supported in pride, and perpetuated in cruelty. You shed tears over fallen Hungary, and make the sad story of her wrongs the theme of your poets, statesmen, and orators, till your gallant sons are ready to fly to arms to vindicate her cause against the oppressor; but, in regard to the ten thousand wrongs of the American slave, you would enforce the strictest silence, and would hail him as an enemy of the nation who dares to make those wrongs the subject of public discourse! You are all on fire at the mention of liberty for France or for Ireland; but are as cold as an iceberg at the thought of liberty for the enslaved of America. You discourse eloquently on the dignity of labor; yet, you sustain a system which, in its very essence, casts a stigma upon labor. You can bare your bosom to the storm of British artillery to throw off a three-penny tax on t!
ea; and yet wring the last hard earned farthing from the grasp of the black laborers of your country. You profess to believe "that, of one blood, Yah made all nations of men to dwell on the face of all the earth," and hath commanded all men, everywhere, to love one another; yet you notoriously hate (and glory in your hatred) all men whose skins are not colored like your own. You declare before the world, and are understood by the world to declare that you "hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; and that among these are, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and yet, you hold securely, in a bondage which, according to your own Thomas Jefferson, "is worse than ages of that which your fathers rose in rebellion to oppose," a seventh part of the inhabitants of your country.
Fellow-citizens, I will not enlarge further on your national inconsistencies. The existence of slavery in this country brands your republicanism as a sham, your humanity as a base pretense, and your Christianity as a lie. It destroys your moral power abroad: it corrupts your politicians at home. It saps the foundation of religion; it makes your name a hissing and a bye-word to a mocking earth. It is the antagonistic force in your government, the only thing that seriously disturbs and endangers your Union. it fetters your progress; it is the enemy of improvement; the deadly foe of education; it fosters pride; it breeds insolence; it promotes vice; it shelters crime; it is a curse to the earth that supports it; and yet you cling to it as if it were the sheet anchor of all your hopes. Oh! be warned! be warned! a horrible reptile is coiled up in your nation's bosom; the venomous creature is nursing at the tender breast of your youthful republic; for the love of Yah, tear away, a!
nd fling from you the hideous monster, and let the weight of twenty millions crush and destroy it forever!
But it is answered in reply to all this, that precisely what I have now denounced is, in fact, guaranteed and sanctioned by the Constitution of the United States; that, the right to hold, and to hunt slaves is a part of that Constitution framed by the illustrious Fathers of this Republic.
Then, I dare to affirm, notwithstanding all I have said before, your fathers stooped, basely stooped
To palter with us in a double sense:
And keep the word of promise to the ear,
But break it to the heart.
And instead of being the honest men I have before declared them to be, they were the veriest impostors that ever practised on mankind. This is the inevitable conclusion, and from it there is no escape; but I differ from those who charge this baseness on the framers of the Constitution of the United States. It is a slander upon their memory, at least, so I believe. There is not time now to argue the constitutional question at length; nor have I the ability to discuss it as it ought to be discussed. The subject has been handled with masterly power by Lysander Spooner, Esq. by William Goodell, by Samuel E. Sewall, Esq., and last, though not least, by Gerrit Smith, Esq. These gentlemen have, as I think, fully and clearly vindicated the Constitution from any design to support slavery for an hour.
Fellow-citizens! there is no matter in respect to which the people of the North have allowed themselves to be so ruinously imposed upon as that of the pro-slavery character of the Constitution. In that instrument I hold there is neither warrant, license, nor sanction of the hateful thing; but interpreted, as it ought to be interpreted, the Constitution is a glorious liberty document. Read its preamble, consider its purposes. Is slavery among them? Is it at the gate way? or is it in the temple? it is neither. While I do not intend to argue this question on the present occasion, let me ask, if it be not somewhat singular that, if the Constitution were intended to be, by its framers and adopters, a slaveholding instrument, why neither slavery, slaveholding, nor slave can any where be found in it. What would be thought of an instrument, drawn up, legally drawn up, for the purpose of entitling the city of Rochester to a tract of land, in which no mention of land was made? Now, th!
ere are certain rules of interpretation for the proper understanding of all legal instruments. These rules are well established. They are plain, commonsense rules, such as you and I, and all of us, can understand and apply, without having passed years in the study of law. I scout the idea that the question of the constitutionality, or unconstitutionality of slavery, is not a question for the people. I hold that every American citizen has a right to form an opinion of the constitution, and to propagate that opinion, and to use all honorable means to make his opinion the prevailing one. Without this right, the liberty of an American citizen would be as insecure as that of a Frenchman. Ex-Vice-President Dallas tells us that the constitution is an object to which no American mind can be too attentive, and no American heart too devoted. He further says, the Constitution, in its words, is plain and intelligible, and is meant for the home-bred, unsophisticated understandings of ou!
r fellow-citizens. Senator Berrien tells us that the Constitution is the fundamental law, that which controls all others. The charter of our liberties, which every citizen has a personal interest in understanding thoroughly. The testimony of Senator Breese, Lewis Cass, and many others that might be named, who are everywhere esteemed as sound lawyers, so regard the constitution. I take it, therefore, that it is not presumption in a private citizen to form an opinion of that instrument.


Now, take the Constitution according to its plain reading, and I defy the presentation of a single pro-slavery clause in it. On the other hand, it will be found to contain principles and purposes, entirely hostile to the existence of slavery.
I have detained my audience entirely too long already. At some future period I will gladly avail myself of an opportunity to give this subject a full and fair discussion.
Allow me to say, in conclusion, notwithstanding the dark picture I have this day presented, of the state of the nation, I do not despair of this country. There are forces in operation which must inevitably work the downfall of slavery.


"The arm of the Most High is not shortened," and the doom of slavery is certain. I, therefore, leave off where I began, with hope. While drawing encouragement from "the Declaration of Independence," the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions, my spirit is also cheered by the obvious tendencies of the age. Nations do not now stand in the same relation to each other that they did ages ago. No nation can now shut itself up from the surrounding world and trot round in the same old path of its fathers without interference. The time was when such could be done. Long established customs of hurtful character could formerly fence themselves in, and do their evil work with social impunity. Knowledge was then confined and enjoyed by the privileged few, and the multitude walked on in mental darkness. But a change has now come over the affairs of mankind. Walled cities and empires have become unfashionable. The arm of commerce has borne away the gates of th!
e strong city. Intelligence is penetrating the darkest corners of the globe. It makes its pathway over and under the sea, as well as on the earth. Wind, steam, and lightning are its chartered agents. Oceans no longer divide, but link nations together. From Boston to London is now a holiday excursion. Space is comparatively annihilated.-Thoughts expressed on one side of the Atlantic are distinctly heard on the other.
The far off and almost fabulous Pacific rolls in grandeur at our feet. The Celestial Empire, the mystery of ages, is being solved. The fiat of the Almighty, "Let there be Light," has not yet spent its force. No abuse, no outrage whether in taste, sport or avarice, can now hide itself from the all-pervading light. The iron shoe, and crippled foot of China must be seen in contrast with nature. Africa must rise and put on her yet unwoven garment. "Ethiopia shall stretch out her hand unto Yah." In the fervent aspirations of William Lloyd Garrison, I say, and let every heart join in saying it:


Yah speed the year of jubilee
The wide world o'er!
When from their galling chains set free,
Th' oppress'd shall vilely bend the knee,


And wear the yoke of tyranny
Like brutes no more.
That year will come, and freedom's reign.
To man his plundered rights again
Restore.


Yah speed the day when human blood
Shall cease to flow!
In every clime be understood,
The claims of human brotherhood,
And each return for evil, good,
Not blow for blow;


That day will come all feuds to end,
And change into a faithful friend
Each foe.

Proverbs 29:18




Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, H8451 happy is he.












Let’s read Proverbs 22 verse 28 again. Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your forefathers. Notice your forefathers. No matter how big or old a child may grow, they can never outgrow their mother or father. Parents are our forefathers. They are our foundations and we learn from them how to love our husbands and wives, how to seek The Most High, how to pray, how to love the Bible. Parents are supposed to teach you, not give you money. Why? Money is not a principle. They don’t give you property. Property is not a principle. They give us their Most High God. Their Most High is a principle. They give us the laws of The Most High and those laws are our principles. Principles means first law. You don't change the first law which is natural law, creation law. I've never seen a man grow into a woman. Shooting yourself with hormones to make your breasts grow doesn't change what you are. What makes a woman, a woman is her womb. The original word is womb-man. If you have a womb you are a woman. If you don’t have a womb you are a brother. You don't grow into anything. You don't change. so we have to be careful when they stand there and philosophize with their hollow arguments and they give these long speeches and we sit there being captivated by it. Stay with The Most High's principles. Yahashua says in Mathew chapter 5 do not think that I have come to abolish the laws. He says look I didn't come to change the law of The Most High I came to enforce it. Don't you ever exchange law for grace. Grace does not cancel law. I did not come to destroy the law he says or the prophets who spoke them, but I came to fulfill them. I came to put the spirit back in them. I came to reinforce them. I came to reestablish them. I tell you the truth until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or tittle or stroke of the pen of the law will by any means disappear from the law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks any one of the least of these laws and teaches others to break them shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven, but if any man teaches these laws and teaches others to keep them they shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Paul reminds them in the beginning of Galatians chapter three that they did not receive the Spirit of Yah by works of Torah and they will not keep the Spirit by works of Torah. Torah is not and has never been designed to justify man before the Most High, but rather, faith justifies man before the Most High. Paul goes on to say that if man were justified by Torah then he would have to continue in all things which are written in Torah which man cannot do (Galatians 3:10-12). Remember that if you reject the Most High's grace then you are under the law and subject to the law. Paul explains that the law then becomes a curse rather than it's intended blessing. D’variym (Deuteronomy) chapter 11 tells us that if you obey the law then you are blessed and if you disobey you are cursed. So the law is a curse only when it is disobeyed. If entrance into the kingdom of the Most High is dependent upon our obedience to the law, which none of us keep, then we are all cursed and doomed. This we have seen in Romans chapter three and will see again in the latter part of this discourse. Paul is re-teaching, if you will, these Galatian believers what the Most High has done for them, and not only them but Paul himself. In verse 13 Paul tells us that we are all redeemed from the curse of the law, remembering that the results of our inability to keep the law is the curse of the law. In verse 14 he tells us that what happened to Abraham has now come upon the nations, that the promise of the Spirit is by faith. He then reminds us that this promise was made to Abraham and his seed, and that there is only one seed. Paul then expounds on the fact that the inheritance of this seed comes, not by the law, but by faith, and that the law was given because we sin. The seed is received by faith. For Abraham, it was through the promise of the Mashiach. For all Old Testament believers, it was through the promise of the Mashiach. For Paul and us it is through the same seed fully manifested, i.e. Yahashua the Mashiach. To only those of the seed were the promises made, and there is only one seed. There cannot be one way of salvation for the Hebrew and another way for the nations, for there is only one seed and one way, by faith in the Mashiach. For the Old Testament saint it is through the promise and for us it is the fulfillment of that promise. We are all kept under the law until faith comes. Verse 22 concludes that all are under sin and that the promise by faith of Yahashua the Mashiach would be given to those who trust. Paul then states that before faith came, we were kept under the law, until faith is revealed. Paul is not teaching that all Hebrews were kept under the law until Yahashua came, but rather we are all under the law until faith comes, and that the law is our schoolmaster that points us all to that faith or the promise of that faith. Torah teaches us all what is right and what is wrong. It shows us our sinful nature and our need for the deliverer. Paul is saying here precisely what he was teaching in Romans chapter 6.This is in the Bible. The Most High says look, if you walk away from what? My laws, my statutes, I will what? Inflict on you nationally, personally, community--madness, blindness and confusion. Some of the laws they're debating is a sign of madmen. Just madness.They are so proud. Same-sex marriage is now available in this country. What are you proud of? That's a dumb biological decision. Two men cannot produce. Let's go to your biological book. So The Most High says you'll be mad. Madness means you will make decisions that make no sense. Blindness means you can't even see that it doesn't make any sense. Confusion means you think it made sense. What brings madness, blindness and confusion? Simple. Walking away from laws! Don't touch the laws He says. In other words, the secret of success in times of confusion is going back to default. All of us who own a computer know about that right? When the computer begins to misbehave you don't try to figure it out. You shut it down and reboot. All of The Most High's words are reboot words. It's redeem, restore, recompense, repent, revive, reconcile, redeem. He's always saying come back! Reboot. When we want change, we have got to first go back to default to make sure that the change lines up with the manufacturers original state. Default means going back to the original manufacturers state. My telephone was doing something funny yesterday and I kept trying to figure out what's going on. I got kind of confused and then I remembered to turn it off. Some of us have got to shut our whole countries off, just cut them off and say let's go back, let's reboot. Because the way our country is going, the way our city is going we are confused. Reboot. We have got to start again. Fiveamprayer, default means to return to the manufacturer. The Most High created everything, He is the manufacturer. He created the heavens and the earth and the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and the people who dwell in it are also his. So if anything goes wrong with any part of this stuff, He says reboot, shut down, stop and go back. Your future is not ahead of you, your future is behind you. The Most High says come back to your future. It's in default. Here’s a couple of thoughts about the North. The knowledge of direction first requires knowledge of the north. Secondly the nature of change is defined by the unchanging nature of the north. Thirdly, the greatest challenge in life is establishing who's the source of your North? And the fourth one is whoever defines your true north is your God. Oh boy this is why in order for people to change against The Most High's north they have to get rid of The Most High. If you get rid of The Most High, you create your own north. If entrance into the kingdom of the Most High is dependent upon our obedience to the law, which none of us keep, then we are all cursed and doomed. This we have seen in Romans chapter three and will see again in the latter part of this discourse. Paul is re-teaching, if you will, these Galatian believers what the Most High has done for them, and not only them but Paul himself. In verse 13 Paul tells us that we are all redeemed from the curse of the law, remembering that the results of our inability to keep the law is the curse of the law. In verse 14 he tells us that what happened to Abraham has now come upon the nations, that the promise of the Spirit is by faith. He then reminds us that this promise was made to Abraham and his seed, and that there is only one seed. Paul then expounds on the fact that the inheritance of this seed comes, not by the law, but by faith, and that the law was given because we sin. The seed is received by faith. For Abraham, it was through the promise of the Mashiach. For all Old Testament believers, it was through the promise of the Mashiach. This is why we heard our founding fathers tell us when they were here in the same building they said don't touch the preamble. our present governor said these words he said the preamble is the underpinning of the Constitution. The preamble says this country shall be governed in respect of the King’s principles and spiritual values. That's in our Constitution it's the underpinning. Let me ask you a question: what is the underpinning of this building? The foundation. What's holding it up? The foundation. What's keeping the walls from falling? The foundation. In other words, without the foundation this whole thing just collapses. What they were saying is if you take the King’s principles out of the Constitution, you have no house. Without true north you have another God. Why do you think those who want to violate The Most High's law constantly try to get rid of The Most High? They march the streets, you know? They say things like no religion in politics! What everybody's saying is no Most High in our affairs! They say things like separation of church and state. What are you talking about? That's what they're saying. We don't want The Most High to be in our state. This is a dangerous philosophy. They say things like you preachers stay in your churches and will stay in the government. Are you crazy? I don't want you to address your atheism into intellectualism. Don't intellectualize atheism. We know people get ideas to get rid of The Most High all over! When your country says the Bible is our foundation. That is a good country. Now they're debating these issues of homosexuality--so what are they going to do with the Bible then? Because the Bible says if a man sleeps with another man that's an abomination. That's in that book. That's not my opinion. That's in the book. Don't take it personal and if it discriminates against you then deal with The Most High, that is not my problem. Take it up with The Most High. Sometimes people act as if when you quote The Most High's word it is you talking, but you know I'm an ambassador. An ambassador never speaks their personal opinion. They always say things like my government's position is...

So I say to all of you around the world my government position is….. This is what it says in our constitution. I'm afraid for your great-grandchildren. What country will they live in? You are deciding it right now. Everything will change. Change is only possible where something is constant. If you told me you moved, it means that you were stationary. So any change indicates there was a constant. In essence we must be careful what we change and we must be careful because not everything should be changed. Some things were created to remain unchanged, stable and it's my job to scream to the world don't touch that one. In other words, never confuse change with growth. Do you realize that you grew from a boy to a man but you are still a male. You grew from a girl into a woman but you are still a female. In other words, you grew but you never changed. Don't confuse growth with change. Our country is growing! But has it changed from what it's supposed to be? Are you becoming a gambling mecca while you're trying to get more jobs? Are you becoming a crime center while you are getting more business? Oh yes you're growing but have you changed? I was sent from heaven, my country is heaven, my king is The Most High and I am mentioning what The Most High says. In other words, when you start violating my citizens safety, friendship has to go on the side. Yes we're friends until you start affecting my citizens. I love all my friends but let me tell you something, when you touch the law of The Most High and you attempt to meddle with that, we aren't friends anymore. My friendship will never be at the expense of compromising my convictions. Some of y'all have some friends on your job. You have to talk to your friends and say honey if you keep doing that I can't eat with you anymore. The Bible says if a man is caught in a sin and he confesses restore him. But if a man is caught in a sin and he does not repent it says disassociate yourself from that man. That's in the Bible. I don't want nobody thinking I am with you if you aren’t with The Most High. There has to be some standards. Don't confuse change with growth. They can say well our country needs to advance. Ever heard that? We need to become more progressive. Remember those words? We need to become more liberal. The world is moving ahead we are being left behind. Oh I hate that statement. Yes, leave me in the right position. Go, go, go, go I would love to be left in the right position. In other words, leave me if you want to. I am not going to leave right--to be wrong. The world is growing into oblivion, they are growing into confusion. Do you want to grow with them? Don't confuse growth for change. When you were born a male, you were born a male. As a baby four inches long you were a male. Now you are big, six feet tall and you are still a male. You grew but you didn't change into something else and I promise you, you will die a male. So you can cut your hair, put earrings in your ears, break your wrist, you can walk anywhere you want but brother you are a…. MALE. You grew but you didn't change! Lighthouses are principals. Lighthouses never move. The ocean moves around, waves move, ships move. Lighthouses never move that's why the lighthouse is so important. The most important thing to a ship is the lighthouse. Everything else he can't trust. You know the story about the guy who was an admiral and they were doing war games in the north ocean by Alaska. And the Russian and the American continents kind of meet together up there so they all do exercises in the ocean up there in their big ships. They say this is a true story and they said that the American Admiral was taking his men out on a training mission in the ocean and they were teaching the men how to shoot the guns and how to deal with waves and all this stuff. And the Russian had the same thing going on on the other side. And the fog came down so they couldn't see each other anymore. And the admiral of the American ship saw a light in the fog and he knew in his mind that was the Russian ship and they were heading directly toward the light and so he sent a message by radio and said will you please turn three degrees to the left northwest or we will collide and the light flashed back a message and said you turn three degrees to the right north west or you will crash, you will collide with me. The American Admiral became very insulted and he said how dare this Russian captain tell me what to do. By this time they are much closer now on their way to collision and he sent a message and he said do you know who I am? I am an Admiral of the fleet of the top US military and naval command. I am directly related to the President and this long list he gave. Therefore you must move now three degrees to the right or we will collide and the light flash back a message I am a lighthouse. The Most High is saying look I am not moving. You adjust yourself to me. Write these words down. Principles, natural laws, divine precepts, truth, roots, foundation. A tree can never outgrow its roots no matter how big it grows it stays attached to the root. A fish can never outgrow water no matter how big the fish grows it must stay in the water. Our house can never outgrow its foundation no matter how many stories you put on top of it it has a remain on the same foundation. Humans can never outgrow oxygen no matter how big you think you grow. In other words, there are some things you cannot outgrow. When you touch these laws they don't die, you die. The lighthouse says I am not going to die, you are going to die. We cannot change unless we know the lighthouse. Proverbs 22 verse 28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors. that's in the Bible. Don't touch the ancient stones. another verse Jeremiah 6 verse 16 this is what the Lord says: stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said we will not walk in it. Stand where? At the crossroads. Every country right now is at the crossroads with moral decisions, value systems of decisions, economic decisions and The Most High says, look you are the crossroads. When you're at the crossroad He says ask for what? The ancient paths. Don't go forward, go backward He says. Connect yourself to what you left. You cannot outgrow the original. Let’s read Proverbs 22 verse 28 again. Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your forefathers. Notice your forefathers. No matter how big or old a child may grow, they can never outgrow their mother or father. Parents are our forefathers. They are our foundations and we learn from them how to love our husbands and wives, how to seek The Most High, how to pray, how to love the Bible. Parents are supposed to teach you, not give you money. Why? Money is not a principle. They don’t give you property. Property is not a principle. They give us their Most High God. Their Most High is a principle. They give us the laws of The Most High and those laws are our principles. Colossians chapter 2 verse 8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual force of this world rather than on HaMashiach. He said don't let them what? Take you captive. You can get caught up in what they say. They'll convince you by their philosophical arguments that what they are saying is true. How can you convince a politician that two men can be married? Something happened in the discussion where you became captive. The Bible has everything in it. Paul said they will catch you by what? Philosophy. They will not quote you a scripture. They will philosophize you. They will come with reasonable arguments. Arguments like, well you know that I have a right to choose my orientation. After all I have a right to have my alternative lifestyle and they argue that and when you listen to them if you’re not careful you go... WOW That's deep. Read the Bible again. It says what? See to it, means you watch out for that! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! He said don't let them do that to you. When you speak out against something they get angry, but guess what? Tell your neighbor see to it. See to it means say something in the discussion. In the office everybody is talking and you are sitting there quietly talking about Hallelujah, Praise The Most High… SHUT UP and say something! Tell them that isn’t right. You’re wrong! I don't believe that. there's no time to be nice, it's time to be right! Deceptive means it's going to sound so good it can deceive you but it's based on what? Worldly principles. Traditions that men invented. These are not true north! He said see to it. Principles means first law. The word prince means first. That's why when a child is born to a king he's called a prince. He's the first in line. If it's a woman she's called a princess, first in line. So we see the word principal it means first law. You don't change the first law which is natural law, creation law. I've never seen a man grow into a woman. Shooting yourself with hormones to make your breasts grow doesn't change what you are. What makes a woman, a woman is her womb. The original word is womb-man. If you have a womb you are a woman. If you don’t have a womb you are a brother. You don't grow into anything. You don't change. so we have to be careful when they stand there and philosophize with their hollow arguments and they give these long speeches and we sit there being captivated by it. Stay with The Most High's principles. Yahashua says in Mathew chapter 5 do not think that I have come to abolish the laws. He says look I didn't come to change the law of The Most High I came to enforce it. Don't you ever exchange law for grace. Grace does not cancel law. I did not come to destroy the law he says or the prophets who spoke them, but I came to fulfill them. I came to put the spirit back in them. I came to reinforce them. I came to reestablish them. I tell you the truth until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or tittle or stroke of the pen of the law will by any means disappear from the law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks any one of the least of these laws and teaches others to break them shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven, but if any man teaches these laws and teaches others to keep them they shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. You know I don't need you to call me great at all. He already called me great because I am teaching the laws of The Most High.

In 1 Corinthians 9:19-22, we have the popular Sha'uline discourse concerning his desire to be all things to all men that he might by all means save some. This alone has been used erroneously to justify immoral behavior by some, but that is not really our purpose here. We need to go back to verses 19-21 for our study. Here is how the narration goes:

Verse 19

"For though I am free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

Verse 20

And unto the Hebrews I became as a Hebrew, that I might gain the Hebrews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

Verse 21

To them that are without law, as without law (being not without law to the Most High, but under the law to HaMashiach), that I might gain them that are without law."

Paul begins by stating that he is not controlled or led by any man, but rather he is a servant to all men that he might gain them. His purpose is to win their trust. He will do this by empathizing with them. He will approach them from their perspective and from their point of view and needs. This in no way teaches that he will take on their behavior or even mystically become them. This is verified by his first statement: "to the Hebrews I became as a Hebrew". Paul states emphatically many times that he is a Hebrew, or that he has remained a Hebrew. So he certainly did not become a Hebrew to win the Hebrews. He also does not equate the Hebrew as being the one under the law. This statement is listed separately. These statements cover various situations that Paul, in his ministry, confronts. Paul obviously does not run away or shy away from anybody. He strives to understand a person's circumstances. He is not teaching that he becomes a drunk with the drunks in order to save the drunks, but rather he will not turn away from the drunk because he is a drunk. So Paul will minister to the drunk from the drunk's world. He will minister to the Hebrew from his world. He will confront those under the law from their mind set, considering their way of thinking and their kinds of problems. Remember that those who are under the law can be Hebrew or in the Nations and have chosen to reject the Most High's gift of grace, and chose rather to remain under the dominion of sin because they cannot keep the law. Paul is not under the law because he has confronted the Messiah and has seen his condition and has received His grace. He is unabashed in his zeal to win those who are without the law, who do not know the law for whatever reason. Then he says, "being not without law to the Most High, but under the law to Maschiach." This is somewhat difficult to understand for Paul has used a double negative here. Paul is simply stating that he is not outside the true Torah of the Most High, which is under the law of the Maschiach. Perhaps better stated is that he is not subject to the letter of the law but the spirit of the law. The letter and spirit of the law is a very Hebrew concept that I will explain later. Paul then becomes as weak to those who are weak. This, I believe, is a reference to those addressed in Romans chapter 14:1-12. All Paul is saying here is that he is a witness of the Maschiach to all, no matter what there condition. These passages do not teach that Hebrews are the ones under the law, or that being under the law means obeying Torah.

It is now time to address a few of the tough ones. The majority of the occurrences of this phrase are in the book of Galatians. I want to set a basic foundation for the phrase before we get to these very misunderstood verses. First we must keep in mind to whom Paul is addressing his concerns. He is writing to believers in the nations who have been deceived by some Hebrew believers into believing that works of The Old Testament are required to enter the kingdom of Yah or to stay in the kingdom of Yah.

This is in the Bible. The Most High says look, if you walk away from what? My laws, my statutes, I will what? Inflict on you nationally, personally, community--madness, blindness and confusion. Some of the laws they're debating is a sign of madmen. Just madness.They are so proud. Same-sex marriage is now available in this country. What are you proud of? That's a dumb biological decision. Two men cannot produce. Let's go to your biological book. So The Most High says you'll be mad. Madness means you will make decisions that make no sense. Blindness means you can't even see that it doesn't make any sense. Confusion means you think it made sense. What brings madness, blindness and confusion? Simple. Walking away from laws! Don't touch the laws He says. In other words, the secret of success in times of confusion is going back to default. All of us who own a computer know about that right? When the computer begins to misbehave you don't try to figure it out. You shut it down and reboot. All of The Most High's words are reboot words. It's redeem, restore, recompense, repent, revive, reconcile, redeem. He's always saying come back! Reboot. When we want change, we have got to first go back to default to make sure that the change lines up with the manufacturers original state. Default means going back to the original manufacturers state. My telephone was doing something funny yesterday and I kept trying to figure out what's going on. I got kind of confused and then I remembered to turn it off. Some of us have got to shut our whole countries off, just cut them off and say let's go back, let's reboot. Because the way our country is going, the way our city is going we are confused. Reboot. We have got to start again. Fiveamprayer, default means to return to the manufacturer. The Most High created everything, He is the manufacturer. He created the heavens and the earth and the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and the people who dwell in it are also his. So if anything goes wrong with any part of this stuff, He says reboot, shut down, stop and go back. Your future is not ahead of you, your future is behind you. The Most High says come back to your future. It's in default. Here’s a couple of thoughts about the North. The knowledge of direction first requires knowledge of the north. Secondly the nature of change is defined by the unchanging nature of the north. Thirdly, the greatest challenge in life is establishing who's the source of your North? And the fourth one is whoever defines your true north is your God. Oh boy this is why in order for people to change against The Most High's north they have to get rid of The Most High. If you get rid of The Most High, you create your own north. This is why we heard our founding fathers tell us when they were here in the same building they said don't touch the preamble. our present governor said these words he said the preamble is the underpinning of the Constitution. The preamble says this country shall be governed in respect of the King’s principles and spiritual values. That's in our Constitution it's the underpinning. Let me ask you a question: what is the underpinning of this building? The foundation. What's holding it up? The foundation. What's keeping the walls from falling? The foundation. In other words, without the foundation this whole thing just collapses. What they were saying is if you take the King’s principles out of the Constitution, you have no house. Without true north you have another God. Why do you think those who want to violate The Most High's law constantly try to get rid of The Most High? They march the streets, you know? They say things like no religion in politics! What everybody's saying is no Most High in our affairs! They say things like separation of church and state. What are you talking about? That's what they're saying. We don't want The Most High to be in our state. This is a dangerous philosophy. They say things like you preachers stay in your churches and will stay in the government. Are you crazy? I don't want you to address your atheism into intellectualism. Don't intellectualize atheism. We know people get ideas to get rid of The Most High all over! When your country says the Bible is our foundation. That is a good country. Now they're debating these issues of homosexuality--so what are they going to do with the Bible then? Because the Bible says if a man sleeps with another man that's an abomination. That's in that book. That's not my opinion. That's in the book. Don't take it personal and if it discriminates against you then deal with The Most High, that is not my problem. Take it up with The Most High. Sometimes people act as if when you quote The Most High's word it is you talking, but you know I'm an ambassador. An ambassador never speaks their personal opinion. They always say things like my government's position is...

So I say to all of you around the world my government position is….. This is what it says in our constitution. I'm afraid for your great-grandchildren. What country will they live in? You are deciding it right now. Everything will change. Change is only possible where something is constant. If you told me you moved, it means that you were stationary. So any change indicates there was a constant. In essence we must be careful what we change and we must be careful because not everything should be changed. Some things were created to remain unchanged, stable and it's my job to scream to the world don't touch that one. In other words, never confuse change with growth. Do you realize that you grew from a boy to a man but you are still a male. You grew from a girl into a woman but you are still a female. In other words, you grew but you never changed. Don't confuse growth with change. Our country is growing! But has it changed from what it's supposed to be? Are you becoming a gambling mecca while you're trying to get more jobs? Are you becoming a crime center while you are getting more business? Oh yes you're growing but have you changed? I was sent from heaven, my country is heaven, my king is The Most High and I am mentioning what The Most High says. In other words, when you start violating my citizens safety, friendship has to go on the side. Yes we're friends until you start affecting my citizens. I love all my friends but let me tell you something, when you touch the law of The Most High and you attempt to meddle with that, we aren't friends anymore. My friendship will never be at the expense of compromising my convictions. Some of y'all have some friends on your job. You have to talk to your friends and say honey if you keep doing that I can't eat with you anymore. The Bible says if a man is caught in a sin and he confesses restore him. But if a man is caught in a sin and he does not repent it says disassociate yourself from that man. That's in the Bible. I don't want nobody thinking I am with you if you aren’t with The Most High. There has to be some standards. Don't confuse change with growth. They can say well our country needs to advance. Ever heard that? We need to become more progressive. Remember those words? We need to become more liberal. The world is moving ahead we are being left behind. Oh I hate that statement. Yes, leave me in the right position. Go, go, go, go I would love to be left in the right position. In other words, leave me if you want to. I am not going to leave right--to be wrong. The world is growing into oblivion, they are growing into confusion. Do you want to grow with them? Don't confuse growth for change. When you were born a male, you were born a male. As a baby four inches long you were a male. Now you are big, six feet tall and you are still a male. You grew but you didn't change into something else and I promise you, you will die a male. So you can cut your hair, put earrings in your ears, break your wrist, you can walk anywhere you want but brother you are a…. MALE. You grew but you didn't change! Lighthouses are principals. Lighthouses never move. The ocean moves around, waves move, ships move. Lighthouses never move that's why the lighthouse is so important. The most important thing to a ship is the lighthouse. Everything else he can't trust. You know the story about the guy who was an admiral and they were doing war games in the north ocean by Alaska. And the Russian and the American continents kind of meet together up there so they all do exercises in the ocean up there in their big ships. They say this is a true story and they said that the American Admiral was taking his men out on a training mission in the ocean and they were teaching the men how to shoot the guns and how to deal with waves and all this stuff. And the Russian had the same thing going on on the other side. And the fog came down so they couldn't see each other anymore. And the admiral of the American ship saw a light in the fog and he knew in his mind that was the Russian ship and they were heading directly toward the light and so he sent a message by radio and said will you please turn three degrees to the left northwest or we will collide and the light flashed back a message and said you turn three degrees to the right north west or you will crash, you will collide with me. The American Admiral became very insulted and he said how dare this Russian captain tell me what to do. By this time they are much closer now on their way to collision and he sent a message and he said do you know who I am? I am an Admiral of the fleet of the top US military and naval command. I am directly related to the President and this long list he gave. Therefore you must move now three degrees to the right or we will collide and the light flash back a message I am a lighthouse. The Most High is saying look I am not moving. You adjust yourself to me. Write these words down. Principles, natural laws, divine precepts, truth, roots, foundation. A tree can never outgrow its roots no matter how big it grows it stays attached to the root. A fish can never outgrow water no matter how big the fish grows it must stay in the water. Our house can never outgrow its foundation no matter how many stories you put on top of it it has a remain on the same foundation. Humans can never outgrow oxygen no matter how big you think you grow. In other words, there are some things you cannot outgrow. When you touch these laws they don't die, you die. The lighthouse says I am not going to die, you are going to die. We cannot change unless we know the lighthouse. Proverbs 22 verse 28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors. that's in the Bible. Don't touch the ancient stones. another verse Jeremiah 6 verse 16 this is what the Most High says: stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said we will not walk in it. Stand where? At the crossroads. Every country right now is at the crossroads with moral decisions, value systems of decisions, economic decisions and The Most High says, look you are the crossroads. When you're at the crossroad He says ask for what? The ancient paths. Don't go forward, go backward He says. Connect yourself to what you left. You cannot outgrow the original.
