The Lord wants you to listen to this call !!

It is important to your people that they know about this to help then to get well.
Lets cut down the numbers on the prayer list and in the obituary column.

I had a private dinner at home of the world's foremost gynecological/oncologist Dr. Duane Townsend in Salt Lake City, Utah (He co-authored the book that they use to train gynecologist.)

Dr. Townsend showed us his office, located in another portion of his home. He re-emphasized that there is no other substance that has the immunological research behind it as transfer-factor and neither is there any other substance that has the job, within the human body, as transfer-factor. He stated that he has over one thousand, of his patients taking transfer-factor, as well as, he and his family. (get his book in bookstores.... "A Maverick Of Medicine Speaks To Women")

Now, you can hear about this miracle substance anytime (24/7) on a recorded message by Ron Knisely (research analyst)

At 2:42pm on October 9, 2009, Dr. Jean Howard-Hill said…: Subject: A Need For Men and Women of God in Politics!

Dear Preachers and Those in Ministry:

I need some bold preachers to go with me into the lion’s den!

I am a veteran African American Republican who in 1979, God sent into the Republican Party to bring about change and to bring down the walls of prejudice and call the party back to the place of its original birth as the Party of Lincoln.

This has not been an easy battle. I have shared those experiences in the book I wrote, Black Eyes Shut – White Lips Sealed (victorysongcollectionspublications.com). Yet I have stood against all odds, and now it is time to take it to the next level.

What I have seen is that the racism, mean spiritedness and the foolishness that is within the Republican Party is mostly at the top. Those who rise to the top, in most cases are the perpetrators. But when you go to the grass roots level, this almost is not there or it is in lesser degrees. Many at the grass roots level are those who believe what we believe, work with us and even share sweet fellowship. However, when you begin to get involved at the party level, this is where the demons of racism rear their heads and stand as gatekeepers.

Having taught American Government, State and Local Government and International Politics and Culture of Non-Western Countries as a political science professor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, I understand government at all levels – even globally. I know what it will take to break the hold and to get pass the political gatekeepers. Sit-in and protests will do absolutely nothing! Even prayer alone will not suffice. But with the power of prayer, as well as the wisdom of God, we have to move into both parties and carve out a place for ourselves as Americans, if we want to share in America’s political power base. Yes, this means moving even into the Republican Party.

As the national chair for the Black Republican Women Organization, I began back in 1987 recruiting African American women into the GOP, who were not willing to be tokens, but who could retain their blackness.

Presently, I head the National Republican African American Caucus. It is a unique republican organization because it allows African Americans to be a part of a collective body that can and will bring about change. Our goal is 1.5 million by 2012, and 500,000 in 2010. You may ask why so many? It is because political strength is in numbers! In politics, believe it or not, it has very little to do with color. It has to do with numbers and the ability to write the check. If you can show you have a substantial number of people who can stand as a voting block, and have the ability to finance your own cause, then you become a significant player within the political landscape. This is the ONLY way that we gain and retain political power. This is how we as African Americans get to the table, have a voice and place ourselves in appointed and elected positions. This is how we stop some of the foolishness that is going on in politics.

As an African American Republican, I proudly voted for President Obama in the general election. But his ability to win was because he was able to get beyond the gatekeepers and become a political player within the Democratic Party. Now we have to do the same thing within the Republican Party!

Having said all of this, I need men and women of God who will join with me to fulfill this mandate, and will join the NRAAC and even begin local caucuses. I don’t want everyone! Because it is important to remain political players in both parties. We need to be in the Democratic and Republican parties. I just need a significant number of praying people, and those who are strong and can take a stand for what is right to come into the Republican fold, so that our voices are heard.

I ask you to go to the NRAAC website at www.nraacaucus.org and see what we are all about. Then pray about this and see if you are one of the ones who God is saying, “I call you to take a stand on the other side (the Republican Party), so that you can make a difference.”

Also see if perhaps God is calling you to serve in a leadership capacity. In November, we will be making new appointments of regional and state chairs, and advisory board and national board members. If you are interested, and decide to become a member, you may submit your name, bio/resume for consideration.

I look forward to those of you who are godly and truly believe in justice and compassionate, yet self-responsibility and responsible government, joining our ranks!

…And for those of you who already are Republicans, we welcome you to the family of African American Republicans.

Let’s ALL go forth, and make a positive difference regardless of which party we are in!

Feel free to e-mail me at jean.howard.hill@gmail.com or jean-howard-hill@utc.edu, and to pass this e-mail on. Tennessee also has a state caucus at www.tnraacaucus.org. The websites for other states should be up by the end of October 2010. We welcome members from all states!

Look forward to hearing from you and even seeing you at the April 9th – 10th NRAAC Conference. Our theme: Setting the Republican Agenda to Include People of Color.

In His Service,

Dr. Jean Howard-Hill, Nat’l Chair

At 4:04pm on September 24, 2009, REDEEMED WORLD MAGAZINE said…: In spite of Mankind receiving an invitation to salvation; there has been a persistent disconnection between man and God, It appears that mankind today has a very small appetite for the things of God. I am of the opinion that one of the reasons that so many of us have such a limited appetite for the things of God is because we have become so full of ourselves-and this gluttonous digestion of self has led to indifference and inconsistency in our perception of God and faith.
Many of us have become stuck in a state spiritual immaturity. I believe this is so, simply because every where you look we as a people are over aggressively in pursuit of worldly prosperity. Perhaps we have become so susceptible to the imaginary yet insatiable urge to keep up with the Joneses and blindly wonder after our worldly wants, that we've been fooled by the enemy into overlooking the need or rather the necessities of our souls.
So many of us have religion yet lack a personal relationship with God. Many of us have acquired many of the gifts available in this world and mistake those things for his grace; and then there's those of us who develop a degree of worldly wit and misinterpret it as wisdom.
We should be extremely careful not to cheat ourselves out of our salvation and take inventory of our emotional, intellectual and spiritual diets- you are what you eat.
