The "Prophecy"???...What Is Going On At New Birth?

Like Kotter, I'm back!!! 

For those who don't have a clue what that means, click HERE...

OK, A LOT of things have happened since I have been away from the "pen" aka: computer blogosphere, but you know what, the more things change, the more they stay the same...

THANK YOU to all those readers who continue to come to this site for information, edification and a biblical examination of this world and what we experience in it.  Like the song says, I believe "the best is yet to come"...

There is so much going on, one can easily be overwhelmed with the news...political, social, education, international affairs...I mean what is not in turmoil at this time? That's why I AM NOT sitting idle, waiting on a phone call or as the song says, "for the world to change"! Nope, not me...TIME to move forward, away from the influence of man, organizations and whatever and whomever hinders the vision of God in my life...

With all that said, I just HAD to deal with a prophecy recently received regarding a certain pastor/community leader/marijuana farmer...YES, you guessed it....JAMAL, is back at it again...Well, let me get it right...he didn't do anything. It was an alleged "word from the Lord" that came to him in a particular service that has people all over (believe me, only them that know the real and heard this mess or even care) are talking about it. 

A Message From The Lord???????

Be clear, the ONLY way we should examine the Word Of God is through the lens of the Word Of God. Sorry to be a "party pooper" but GOD says what he means and means what HE says! The first way I know that this alleged "word" isn't from the throne room is because God is not confused...he doesn't deal in "imperfections" or "character flaws"...he deals with SINS, SALVATION and FAITH. In addition, any minister commissioned with delivering HIS word, is charged above all things, to be faithful in delivery and failure to do all results in condemnation.  

Secondly, how can a person say "YES" to God and continue to deal in unrighteousness? ie: at some point, a person continuing in sin, has said...NO!...They are not yielding to God. This causes everything said further to come under suspicion and rightfully so. 

Significance? Why Does This Matter? 

We can answer this question by stating that it mattered to the early church or biblical church what God was saying, how he was saying it, and through whom it was said. Have you read 1 John 4? And that is just the start.

This is very significant. First, every believer should be able to "hear" the voice of the Lord. Beyond that, are we to assume that God somehow doesn't care about the firestorm of turbulence and even life changing effects left in the wake of those who sin and continue their evil? I mean, I could go on, but GOD himself brought what can only be deemed to be judgement into an environment in which 400 counts of sexual abuse and misconduct occurred and thousands were damaged as a result. Then, from Baltimore, a man who had completely torn up his family with illicit lovers and a horrible community standing, took over, but somehow, you tell me that God doesn't seem to care???...Then, this "word" goes on to pronounce that the prayers of the one that did the most egregious evil probably recorded in American Black church history, are still being received and answered (ok, argue about that, but we let God be God) and that a man who was caught in sins and destroyed people the same way, multiple times only has "imperfections" and "character flaws"???

BOY BYE!!!! Hasta luego!!! Au revoir!!! GOOD NIGHT!!!!

So long and such a SAD song!!!! 

My goodness, is that what we think of God? We have been seduced by those who continue in their sins (operative word, CONTINUE) as they have seduced the masses into accepting nearly anything "in the name of the Lord" even if it is inconsistent with God's character as revealed within HIS Word!

OK, look, take a look at this "prophetic word" and analyze it for yourself...I have spoken far too much, but, I said in response and I will say now..."HANANIAH has spoken, now Let GOD speak" (and I mean no insult or harm towards the messenger, as I DO NOT know him)

For sure, noone has to argue over it, we'll just watch it play out and in the end, GOD WILL SPEAK!

"Watch This" Pt. 10 ~ Bishop Eddie Long "Takes A Little Time Off"

Jeremiah 33:14-18 ~ "14-Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. 15-In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. 16-In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness. 17-For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; 18-Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually."

"If you go out there, the news said I stepped down,"...
" I haven't stepped down, I've actually stepped up."...
"I'm still your pastor. You'll still receive my direction,"...
"You've given me some weeks to take care of some family business." 
(Source-The Huffington Post Black Voices)

I'm sorry, my initial report was wrong and one can view the video below the commentary to see why...the bishop has decided to take an extended and undetermined vacation to deal with family issues. He didn't say that he was relinquishing the pulpit or the pastorate and didn't say that he was "stepping down" from being pastor as many are saying including the commentary page that I am referencing. Watch the video and tell me what you think, it's pretty clear to me. The bishop is going on a "potentially" long sabbatical.

"Watch This" Pt. 5 ~ The Bishop's Response

As he said, he wanted to do his talking in court and not in the media. There are some specific reasons for this. Here is the latest information on Bishop Eddie Long's response to allegations of sexual abuse and clergy sexual misconduct.



The Bishop's response to each individual complaint can be found by clicking the following PDF file links, however it is clear that the Bishop believes that he is innocent of any sexual misconduct allegations, and that the court should drop all charges and make the plaintiff's pay all costs associated with the whole mess.

1- Anthony Flagg PDF

Interestingly enough Bishop Long offers a section called "Affirmative Defense" beginning on pg. 25 of the 32 pg PDF. Under AD 3 he states that the complaint should be barred (the lawsuit against him) because of the Statute of Limitations. Stating that even if true the complaint took too long to surface from realization of damage to allegation and suit. Under AD 6 he claims the suit should be denied because of "the doctrine of unclean hands" specifying that the court should also consider the plaintiff to be at fault for his circumstance.

2- Spencer LeGrande PDF

This too is a very interesting denial of allegations in what is probably the most sexually charged lawsuit filed. According to the Bishop, on trips his room was always open to everyone traveling with him, meals were for the group and at no time did any of the intimate details of the allegations occur, although there may have been an occassion when they were innocently and incidently alone.

3- Jamal Parris PDF

This one is interesting in that Jamal Parris claims that he accompanied Bishop Long to San Francisco on occassion under his claim, allegation 45. In the Bishop's response he claims that he has never been to San Francisco period (pg9). As I stated, somebody is lying. Who is it?
