Enough with your statue worship.

Your sacred burial sites & “libations” are egregious against me. One says “look there is a great man of the past over there” while another says “look there goes a great woman of the past over here”. Lord God these are but wood and stone, brass and steel inscribed with markings that fade away along with the people who wrote them. Are the churches to be worshipped , or shall their be worshippers in THE LORD’S HOUSE? For as it is written “Cease your trust in mortals, whose breath is in their nostrils, why hold them in high esteem?”(Isaiah 2:22); for your leaders of the past are past and dead. Howbeit, that THE CARPENTER of the Lord’s House lives! Thus says the Spirit of Christ: If you will but invite me into your living temple, then I will bring living temples into my House that I have sown, not that which has been sown by you. For if I “Sit enthroned above the circle of the earth, and it’s people are like grasshoppers” what council have you had city of 7 hills that Christ Jesus was apart of ? What assemblies and townhalls speak of me? It is because of what little justice remains, that this city is kept, because of the POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS, and the youth of Richmond City.

One says “Look! There goes a black person”; another says “Look? There goes a white person!”. Yet I declare Father God that we take no confidence in the flesh “for dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return”(Genesis 3:19). For I decree One God, One Faith, One Family. This I declare in Three, This I know in One.

“For it is appointed unto Man once to die and then the judgement”. (Heb. 9:27)

Therefore what man judges another based on their skin color, and not the content of his character? — Dr. Martin Luther King

This says the Spirit of Christ: When the fate of nations were tied up in a Gordian Knot, who untangled and laid evenly the beads of the Patriarchs, or taught the rainbow its divisions? Captains of 10’s, captains of 50’s I carved them, on Aarons robe I sanctified them, In Jesus they are perfected, for my Lord is a coat of many colors.

Therefore do not approach me with your colors, creeds ,or racism “for all souls are mine sayeth the Lord”(Ezekiel 18:4). And say it not that I lean to the left party only, or that I lean to right party solely. I set a measuring rod between the 7 hills of RVA ; justice and mercy is its standard’ for “wide is the gate of destruction, narrow is the way of eternal life”(Matthew. 7:13). Is the Lord to exist in one place? Shall the Thrice Holy God be caged in? Are not the four corners of the universe secured by his angels to be released at their appointed Time? You invest and collect taxes on churches of which I am not present. Within your tabernacle’s I am not welcome. Within your hall’s of justice my Wisdom is not present. In your councils of power my arms are covered. Therefore, I neither break bread with you or eat your wine. The flesh and the blood of the Lord is wholly sufficient.

“Give me liberty or give me death!” — Patrick Henry

I shall rid myself with these coffins and burial sites and “Let the dead bury their dead”; for I have cut living stones, smoothed by the voice of many waters, and by His light he has baptized many lights unto Himself, before me and behind me, as witnesses unto the Christ “The Captain of Heavens Armies”. I give cadence to the historical narrative, and it beats to the drum of the Great Shepherd King.

For God & Country
