Mama Joy Spoke On Emancipation At Christ Chapel Baptist Church- Chicago Feb 23, 2020
A negro spiritual says “Have you heard of a city, the streets are paved with gold?…” We are willing to wait for the kingdom, but we hesitate to go for it! We were brought to America to make a “heavenly place” for the “master”!..Yet, Christ brought us to birth the Kingdom of Heaven in this nation!
Without the womb of God where we would be?
When you are in the womb of God you find everything that you need.
We talk about the anointing in Christ, but do we go for it?!
If you want to know the “true survivors and the true Believers” look at their fruit. We have come from a long journey (the 400 years), let us make it fruitful. Let us make a difference in our home, community, and nation.
God has made a way for us, yet we have not found ourselves deserving of that love. We really don’t know who we are in God!
Prayer: “God help us to see that you were there when the emancipation was proclaimed by the presidency. God is in the house!”
When Jeremiah the prophet was just a child, God called him to speak unto kings (Jeremiah 1:5-7). And how many children are we burying these days, How many prophets are we burying?!
Jeremiah said to God, I am just a child, I can not speak unto kings…” and God said, “Say not that I am a child, for thou shall go to all that I send thee”…Children have the power of the Lord when they come out of the womb that God has blessed…they are ready; age has nothing to do with it. God didn’t say to Jeremiah, go ask your mommy or daddy!..
Carter G. Woodson sought to preserve black history, yet we are here to preserve the true American history. We have strayed from God’s way. Our churches have forgotten that we used to have to “steal away” just to pray! We did not even have the right to assemble.
Our young people need to know about the power of God that is within them. We did not teach them, because we did not know it ourselves.
We as mothers do not know who we are, nor the anointing that dwells within our womb. We gave birth, labored with such pain and yet we were so belittled by men…they beat us to the ground and yet we still love them, because of that anointing…
You had to go through some hell and degradation, so you can appreciate what real peace is, what real love is…
How many of us have looked at our history through God’s loving eyes?!
We stay in the pain, blame, and anger, like James Brown sings, waiting, for the big payback!
The forefathers realized that they had no choice but to make a deal with the South, so they could have enough military might to move away from their “horrific mother”, the English tyranny.
Our consciousness always moves toward the pain, yet Jesus wants us to move toward the light…Jesus said 2000 years ago, there will come those who “will do far greater works!”.
Are you the one? …we had to go through hell, like Jesus did, so we could be ready to be the “savior” of this nation of America…Don’t you want to think about it?
Anything that God set up for you to do, you have to qualify for it? You got to go through something, and not just go around it, but meet it! David, as a child, confronted goliath, and hebrew children went through fire…who knows how God would prepare a nation of people for greater works, only Him!
Regardless of what men planned to do with us or or whatever position they had for us, regardless of whatever design they chose for us, or identity they gave us, it will never ever trump what was God’s Plan, Position, Design, Identity and Purpose was and has been for us!
We have seen ourselves from the point of view of the intellectuals and we have read all about the great accomplishments of the black figures in our modern era, but how many of them have said, “without God I could not do any of it?!”
You are in the womb of God, and when you know you are in the womb of God, all that you need, you already have. When you come out of the womb of your mother, you must know that there are a lot of wombs G
