Lost

OPENING: - It is my desire, my mission to dive into one of the most intriguing Biblical facts of history and talk about the 12 tribes of Israel. We are going to discover who these tribes were, the spiritual blessings each tribe possessed, what happened to them, and answer the question are they still around today?

Understand it is only through ignorance of self are others able to humiliate us, intimidate us, control us, and erase us but when you understand that the same DNA that ran through the veins of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob runs through yours, that you are a recipient of the Divine Promise, that you have an inheritance. Although our ancestors were stolen from their land, packed into ships, identity erased, names replaced, language forbidden, culture ridiculed, and our God stripped from us and called demonic. Then we for centuries are faced with forced labor, lynchings, whippings, beatings, rape, murder, emasculation, mutilations, separations, selling of family, then take our God whitewash him and demonize his theology and claim that he cursed us with a blatant lie and a manipulation of scripture to ease the corrupt disturbed gentile mind, then have the audacity to say some day hopefully if you are good enough this white Jesus that looks just like the ones persecuting you will come and rescue you. Its no wonder people act the way the act because as Jesus said “As a man thinketh so is he”, but when you understand differently, when you think differently, then naturally you act differently.

It is time for the people of God to realize you they truly are, to wake up from their slumber, start walking in their promise, recognizing their purpose, living in their victory. You are not cursed, forgotten, rejected, lost, or cast aside but are chosen, favored, royalty, and most of all LOVED because you are His people.

SCRIPTURES: - Genesis 17:19, Genesis 18:14, Genesis 28:12-15, Genesis 35, Deuteronomy 28, 1 Kings 11:43, 1 Kings 12:26-27, Genesis 49, Ezekiel 37, Revelation 7:14, Matthew 24

I opened with a statement on ignorance about self and how we are controlled when we are ignorant of us. WATCH THIS: - Everyone most likely can finish this quote “In 1492 …….. Christopher Columbus sailed the oceans blue, and his 3 ships were the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria”. That was a quote we learned early in our school years to learn the colonized lies of history and to celebrate a murderous, rapist, slave trader, and thief who we have cities named after and we even have a holiday we celebrate called Columbus Day we celebrate for a murderous, rapist, slave trader, and thief. However, do you know there were approximately 12,000 slave ships involved in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and over 12.5 million Hebrews (Africans) were brought to the Americas, Caribbean, West Indes, Puerto Rico, and Cuba between the 16th and 19th centuries and about 1.8 million died at sea and many more died after arriving, also there were over 40,000 voyages of these slave ships and through explorations less than 20 of these ships have been found.

Let me give you just a little more history did you know that the financial center of the United States the infamous WALL STREET is literally remains of a key hub for the flesh trade that ran from 1711 to 1762, but its legacy has been buried so deep that most people don’t even know it existed. In 1711, the New York City Common Council established a market at the foot of Wall Street and the East River for the sale and rental of enslaved African and Native American people the city directly profited from the market by taxing each person who was bought and sold, while slavery was not abolished in New York until 1827 turned into the financial institution we know today. Banks like City Bank of New York (later Citibank) provided loans to plantation owners, using enslaved people as collateral, this sick, demonic, abusive, practice continued even after slavery was abolished in New York.

Insurance companies like Atena and New York Life sold policies to slave owners to protect their investments in enslaved individuals. Even after New York abolished slavery, local merchants and finaciers continued to profit from slave-produced goods like cotton and sugar. Wall Street banks funded the industry and processed raw materials that came from Southern plantations. In 2015 a plaque was installed at the corner of Wall Street and Water Street to acknowledge the area’s history as a slave market and that is it.

We have been forced to learn the lies of colonized history, we have been forced to believe white-washed religion with its stained glass pictures and renaissance representation, we believe our history started in chains, that we were cursed, rejected, and forgotten when in reality we come from crowns not chains, we are chosen not cursed, we are royalty not rejected and we are favored not forgotten. It’s time for the True Children of Israel to Wake Up, Realize Our Identity, Walk in Our Purpose and Live in Our Promise!
