A NEW THING IN THIS LAND!!!!

[Carole Harris-Harper]

Jeremiah 21-24 (The Message)

21-22"Set up signposts to mark your trip home. Get a good map. Study the road conditions. The road out is the road back. Come back, dear virgin Israel, come back to your hometowns.
How long will you flit here and there, indecisive? How long before you make up your fickle mind? God will create a new thing in this land: A transformed woman will embrace the transforming God!"

23-24A Message from Israel's God-of-the-Angel-Armies: "When I've turned everything around and brought my people back, the old expressions will be heard on the streets: 'God bless you!'...'O True Home!'...'O Holy Mountain!' All Judah's people, whether in town or country, will get along just fine with each other.

Peace and Blessings to all who read these few words. I guess I am just venting so for all who find errors in my phrasing, grammar and other things you look out for to critique, let me clear my throat: this is not a class project, or a lead-in for discussion. I just need to get this off of ME!

I'M READY FOR A NEW THING! And I know there is at least one other person who is feeling the same way: I AM TIRED OF CHURCH AS USUAL! We have it down pat; the buzz chants, the shouts, the sweats, the whoops, the church walk, talk and everything else that says church. And does that translate into a transformed people?

But what happens the moment we leave the church building? I'm not talking about the community outreach ministries we have (which a lot of the members don't even participate in). I'm not talking about offering up the special prayers for the 'less fortunate'. I'm not talking about the special days we invite the 'least' in to have a special meal, where 'they' sit in special seats and we tell them how much we love and care for them.

I'm talking about the fact that in all of our cities and towns, there are churches EVERYWHERE..... and despair right beside the churches. I don't want to hear another person talk about what GOD is going to do! What are YOU doint or going to do...from Sunday night until next Saturday when you get ready to 'do' church again?

The text says 'A transformed woman will embrace THE transforming GOD!" Now we know that the first teacher, a woman, can/should/could set the tone for the entire house but what's happened? Some of our young Mothers don't do much because WE haven't taught them much!!! Come on Mothers of/in the church: stop talking about these young girls/mothers and start teaching them! STOP talking about when you were young! There's a shift in case you haven't noticed: You ain't young no mo! Teach what you have learned! Some of our young ladies don't even know how to boil water or take care of their personal hygiene or speak without cursing or respond without anger. THEY ARE ANGRY WITH US BECAUSE WE HAVE NEGLECTED OUR DUTIES!

It's one thing to know we have power but another thing entirely to USE that power! Right now, a lot of us would need assistance to pull a flea off of a dead dog!

For those of you who found this to be rambling, you're probably right but as I said in the beginning, I needed to get some things off ME so git it if it fit. :0)

In the spirit of destiny, I bid you so long, until the next time. And may the Creator and Maker of all that was, is and shall be continue to bless you and keep you in all that you do in HIS name! (c)

In the Name of the Creator, the Beneficent, the Merciful

As Salaam Alaikum (Peace Be Unto You, the greeting words of Jesus and all believers when we met one another in spirit and truth)

I most definitely agree with your sentiments. As the Solutions Queen, I laugh as I say this is a perfect WAKE UP MESSAGE.

Would love to host a circle, wherein you can lead a dialogue and go over the scriptures that you used as the background for the Wake Up Message. My entire life I have seen the masses play with the Chuuch, Mosque, Temple, Synagogue, Hall, or wherever the group they belong to congregated. I see it like a gang playing games.

So, with that said, I shall offer you my Billion and One % support and then some. Your journey is such an inspirational journey. You have visited most, if not all of the Worship Centers I mentioned, so you understand the importance of us getting to a new thing, in a way that I fully agree. We must get to the right thing. The right thing is new to us because we never stayed on the straight path long enough to follow the path the Creator has for us.

We must learn to Save a Sister and Save Yourself. We must learn the importance of starting anew. Brothers must learn if they save one another, they save themselves as well.

The translation into english of the oft repeated historical opening prayer of the believers is "In the name of the Creator, the Beneficent, the Merciful, All Praises are due to the Creator, the Lord of the Worlds. The Beneficent, the Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgement in Which We Now Live. The Alone Do We Serve, the Alone Do We Seek for Thine Aid and Help. Keep Us on the Right Path, the Path of those upon whom, you have bestowed your favor, not the path of those upon whom your wrath is brought down, nor the path of those who go astray, after they have heard your teaching. AMEEN

If we would try studying our nature, and submitting to the Users Manuals the Creator has blessed us with, then we can experience heaven at once on earth.

Then and only then, are we to say what we want, or what we like, or ask for this and so. It gives reverence to the author of all, then we are in the frame of reference of who is supreme, the one who is the master of all and all. We must learn to be in decency and in order. In my humble assessment it is that understanding of appropriate placement of ourselves that we are missing, which leads to the rest of the madness.

To realize that everything I have comes from the Creator of the heavens and earth. As psalms said, ye are all gods, sons of the Most High God. A god is one with force and power. Who am I to say, something else will do it. If I see the problem, it is because the Creator gave the me the ability to see the problem. In the same way that I have been blessed to see the problem, the Creator will grant me with what is needed to solve the problem. That does not mean, I shall solve the problem in and of myself. The Creator is always the best of planners. If I stay in the lane the creator has placed me to be in, then everyone that has supporting and leading roles in the mission will be placed in their respective roles, and by obedience, we shall all deepen our understanding of our purpose, and be enable to fulfill our purpose in life.

I most definitely love you and want to support you in your ministry. Your mission is so awe inspiring. 75% of the work is with the woman. As the water of life, we must be refreshed and renewed again, purfied once more.
