I'm Praying that We Will Avert the Next Civil War!

[Stephen F. Smith]

I'm Praying that We Will Avert the Next Civil War! This election has indeed been a groundbreaking event. There has been so much enthusiasm on both sides of the aisle as the reality that either the first Black, or the first Woman will soon grace the Executive Branch of our Government. This is a hard fought election, yet I feel like I am now hearing the sounds of discontent, the likes of which I have never heard before. The gap between the haves, and the havenots in this land is ever widening. Isn't it amazing that the average CEO of a major corporation now earns 262 times the average wages that his workers earn. The net worth of the richest 400 Americans in this land, is greater than the net worth of the next 150,000,000 Americans combined. Is there some form of universal injustice afoot here?

Well I am not trying to be a deep wonder on this one, but I feel like we are now sitting on a powder keg that is getting ready to blow. The winds of discontent in this land are so great. We have Black vs. White, Rich vs. Poor, and the winds of discontent are blowing ever so strongly as it relates to class in this land. I know so many that are so frustrated with the direction that our nation seems to be heading in. Are we entering an era that the level of discontent could launch us into a new Civil War? What can we do to avert it? If things don't go right on November 4 and this election somehow becomes a contested one, will we see revolt in our streets? We can not deny that there is extreme division in our land, and it doesn't take the firing of guns for us to enter into what some would call the New Civil War. Are we heading into a poor man's anarchy soon? Should we soon expect to embrace the next Civil War? Should the Church be on it's knees right now? Are we praying, or are we campaigning?

It is indeed amazing that The Body of Christ is so divided during this election. Nearly every prominent white televangelist has sent any black preacher that supports the Democratic Candidate to Hell. Why is the church so judgmental on this issue? How is my excitement over the Presidential Prospects of Senator Obama tantamount to me being an apostate of the Faith? Are the Mainstream White Churches of our land the only churches that possess the proper discernment as it relates to this election? Has the Black Church went to Hell in a Hand Basket? Well I beg to differ with either of those premises, because the Black Church has been vigilant on nearly every social issue in the last 50 years. We are not Hell Bound for supporting Senator Obama, and we will not fall for the Karl Rove tricks this time!

Many of the preachers on Trinity Broadcasting Network are becoming mini surrogates of the McCain Campaign. It is truly sickening for so many of them to have so much arrogance to pass judgment on Black America for being excited about Senator Obama! Well as ardently as they are trying to send the Black Church to Hell, they should sweep around their own front doors, and calm many of the loons we see at some of the McCain/Palin Rallies? The Church should be praying instead of judging! Let's pray that the church does its job in this land, and maybe we can avert another Civil War in our land!

Respectfully Submitted,

Pastor Stephen F. Smith

You are indeed passionate about our people as I am!

WHY ARN'T THE WATCH MEN SOUNDING THE ALARM YET?


Praise the Lord. Pastor you are the only Pastor I have read talking about how us black folks are still asleep in church while the music plays.

I am just a voice that has been privilaged to sit with the Holy Spirit one on one. There are many things that have been revealed to me that I will not discuss some I will on this site.

Lets start with something every black man woman boy and girl should know but don't
1. Had it not been for a black man named Christopher Attucks America would have not been freed from England rule.

2.. The first President ever elected in America was a brother named Presidant John Hanson 1781-1782
The were only allowed to stay in office for one year. Once again no mention of this even thou a black man is running again.

3.We are all slave here in America. When the slave master was sending the slave somewhere off the plantation the master would get a piece of paper write who he was, who the slave was, where the slave was going and when the slave would be returning. If this sounds familiar it should. Today its called a passport only addition is the photo. Even Miss Oprah, Donald Trumph, Bill Gates no one can leave without the Federal Goverment permission. Doesn't matter how much money they allow you to have, doesn't matter your fame around the world all have been uniquely enslaved.

So in short when you look at the white part of the body of Christ you will see we have been out of place by not knowing we are direct decendents of Adam and Eve. Yeah I know it sounds like Minister Farrakahn thats what we have always been told. Thats why doing Black history month we focus on Martin Luther King Jr. notice we never talk about Malcomb X, Black Panthers, etc, these men showed great spiritual and earthy balance.


Don't beleive nothing I say just go to google video zeitgiest part 3 of 3 . This is a must see for every person in America before this election.

First all Black Pastors and nobody but the Pastors not their aids,deacons,wives, just the Black Pastors really need to come together in one place at one time. In order for the Black portion of the Body of Christ to finally step up to the plate we must first discuss and determine who we are as indivuals and as a Black Pastors Body.

There must be a discussion concerning the warefare of our people. Our children lives and futures are at stake.
We cannot continue to quote that God is going to handle it for us. Christ told us what ever WE Bind on earth Would be Bound in haven what ever WE LOOSE on earth he would LOOSE in haven. We have been so busy beating the so call hell out of folks that we haven't been doing our part.
I keep hearing about education for Pastors well thats all good but, do we not beleive that we are no longer living in the last day and not the last days?
Our ancestors went thru the greatest robber of mankind "Identity Theft" it started as you know in the garden of Eden with our first earthly mother and father ADAM and EVE.

We sing songs and say things that deny who we actually are songs like "it doesn't matter what color Christ is as long as his blood is red" oh how wrong that is and how much damage it has done to our children. Sad with all the information that I children have at their finger tips they still beleive Jesus was white and most grown up only identify him as black by discribing him by his hair like wool. I remeber when I was growing up and the older folks could not really read , practually every bible you opened had lots of maps. Now you hardly see a map in the bible because we are educated and have learned geography which would lead curious minds to start doing root chashing and find out many truths.

All of creation is groaning and waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. We as Black folks better wake up fast.
When you see foodstamps and medicaide getting cut than we are in a depression. As for me I still have never seen the rightious forsaken nor his seed beg bread,

Eagles never goes thru storms, they see them afar off and rise above. We must begin to rise. Yes there is a war comming right here in America it has been planned and we better be ready. We are embarking on a revoluation. There has never been a revoluton without blood shed.
Pastors must begin to pratice not being offended the people who has been supporting are being led to the slaughter. SOMEBODY SOUND THE ALARM. IS THERE NOT A WATCH MAN?



I am a black man born here in America. I have been trying to tell as many people as I could about the past events and the ones left to come for over 2 yrs. I was getting very frustraited especially with my immediate family members. I have several uncles who work for the auto plant in Michigan for over 30 years, I kept telling them pull their monies out of their 401k and pay the tax on it at least they would have something. They didn't listen and got totally wiped out of all their savings.

We have been set up and its not just blacks but whites as well. Think about it nobody can leave the United States without the goverment permission.

It doesn't matter who wins this election America will have violence in the streets this is one of the reasons that McCain quoted if he is elected he would put a freeze on all freezing except for the military. Translation is he would have the authority to issue martial law throut the United States.



The Holy Spirit put me to rest when he asked me "How do you think Noah felt? don't you think you had at least one relative, one cousin,uncle, aunt? right there I stopped complaining about nobody listening.
