The Master Plan of Redemption

Who are the devil’s messengers? They are many and varied. To begin, there is the African American middle-class, some of whom, when opportunity has presented itself, has exploited the black masses as ruthlessly as have some  whites. They have no interest in the liberation of their fellow black brothers.
         
          Then, there are the majority of the religious leaders, theologians and sociologist who do not desire to discover the truth concerning the Redemption plan of God Almighty for oppressed Black people in America  and oppressed people all over the world. There are the groups and organizations which have allowed themselves purposely to be deceived and blinded to the simple truth of God, because they cannot change their old doctrines and traditions, their charters and church constitutions for the real truth, because the truth means change. Meanwhile, the masses of the poor continue to suffer from generation to generation, worshipping lies and erroneous teachings just to satisfy the ego of those who sit over them, many of whom just do not want to be disturbed from their station of complacency. They desire to keep their positions in the church, community, or organization. Therefore the masses are taught lies instead of the truth of the most high God. These teachers and perpetrators of falsehood are known prophetically as messengers of Satan, and are lined up squarely behind the devil.
 We find the messengers of God (the resurrected Sons of God), fighting against the devil in the High place, the prophetic heaven, in the minds of the fallen Sons of God. Make no mistake about it, this is no war somewhere beyond the clouds. No one is in space battling with laser blasters, light sabers, space shuttles or atomic weapons like in the movie “Star Wars”. Bows, arrows, spears and tanks  are the weapons of cowboys and World War II movies. The war I am referring to is very near, even in your very souls; it is a war in and for your mind. In your vision of salvation, what did you see taking place? When God comes to save, does it not mean there will be war against those who are destroying? What is salvation other than to be saved from the devil and his evil way of life? That being the case then, is God coming to save some physical bodies and take them somewhere to build another world such as this? Certainly not!
         
          The prize possession, which is inclusive of all things, is the mind. Whomever wins the mind will then automatically possess all, including the soul. Therefore, what is the one thing worth fighting for? The mind. There is nothing else of greater value. There is war in heaven. God has come to save the minds of the Sons of God; the physical body will, then, willingly follow.

          Let us not pond this war as some kind of myth, because it will have all of the characteristics of the physical war: there will be pain, suffering and death. The pain will be in having to cast off your lifelong beliefs and values. It will be a painful experience to confess that you have been wrong and  have been deceived. There will be suffering from the wounds you will receive in the houses of your friends and family as they witness the change that will take you out of their world. There will be death, the killing off of your old personage, because the old you is your enemy. He has to die.

          The deceived Sons of God who now call themselves by the stigmatized name “negro/nigga” (or Afro-American), did not realize that “negro” (or Afro-American) did not denote a nationality, but a personality and character of Satan. The “negro” (or Afro-American) is a product created by the devil. The devil (or Satan) knows his product like he knows himself, because the negro is in the image of  Satan. And Satan knows the negro’s every desire and ambition, because Satan created him. Satan foresaw how to establish the negro’s neighborhoods, what foods to put in the negro’s stores, how many liquor stores to put per block, how many rib soul food joints and exactly how the negro would spend his money and where. Satan can give a yearly projection on the number of rapes, murders, shootouts and cut-ups in the negro community. He knows  that the negro’s will never turn against him, for to do so would be to turn against themselves. How could one so accurately determine the marriages, divorces, birth and death rates except that he knows well his product? Satan has built the proper world for his product, because he knows their deeply-ingrained, evil thought patterns.

          The devil could not build a world for the sons of God. Their minds belong to God and only he knows their hearts. God foretold that he would prepare a place for his Sons so they could be received unto Him. The Sons of God have now re-entered the Heavenly High places (Ephesians 2:6) and are at war with the negro/nigga (Afro-American) personality and character. However Satan refuses to let our people go. Therefore, we must fight to save our people, using the skill and understanding of the “God Mind.” The negro personality and character has to be destroyed, because it is the problem of our people. It is of hell, and has to be removed with the thrust of the word of God. After the old mentality is cast down, we will hear the loud, rejoicing sound of happiness and greatness saying “We’re saved; we’ve been saved!” Then strength will be returned unto the Sons of God. What had been cast down that caused so much joy?

          If we were saved after casting down the negro mind, then it was the negro mind that had been destroying us as a people. If we became strong after we repossessed our minds, then our weakness was our old negro thought patterns.

The great burden has been the enemy’s presence in us. We could not see our way because he possessed our eyes. We could not feel one another because he possessed our hearts. We could not help one another because he possessed our hands. We were a completely “possessed” people, having been earlier dispossessed by God for our disobedience to Him. This is why there was a great rejoicing. We rejoiced at the seeing, feeling, and helping of one another. It was like unto the long-awaited homecoming, the great camp meeting. This is the manifestation of the kingdom of God!

          The struggle for total freedom encompasses some principal considerations:

          1. The byword will be “beautiful” once the struggle is over, but for now the struggle seems repulsive.

          2. Joy and laughter will overwhelm us when the struggle is won, but when it is begun, there will be weeping and moaning.

          3. There will be harmony and unity at the conclusion, but in the beginning discord and division.

          4. With the victory there will be wealth and abundance for everyone, but until the victory is achieved, there will be shortages and poverty.

5. We will have health and life at the consummation of the struggle, but in the beginning there will be suffering and death.

          6. We will have a land, a language and a culture in the end, but in the beginning we will just have a plan.

          7. At the culmination it will seem as if it were not hard after all, but now it appears like an impossible dream!

Thus shall the prophets words be fulfilled: “Humility before honor.”
