I remember watching a YouTube video sometime in the late 2000s or early 2010s about guns being dropped off in the alleys of certain neighborhoods on the south side of Chicago. The young man narrating the video actually showed the crate of Glocks and other automatic weapons left in the alley, and he explained how this had been going on for decades in his community. Fast forward to present day, and so-called Blacks, Latinos, and Native Americans are still killing each other at an alarming rate.

2 Corinthians 2:11 says: Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The Laurence Fishburne quote from Boyz N the Hood echoes in my mind to this day. The powers that be want us to kill ourselves, and that’s why there’s a disproportionate amount of liquor stores in the Black community and crates of guns mysteriously appearing in the alleyways of the neighborhoods with the most crime and violence in the city. The truth is the government has been flooding our neighborhoods with guns and drugs for decades—most notably when crack cocaine hit the scene in the mid-1980s. We as the hopeful elect must not be ignorant of Satan’s devices and fall for his traps like so many of our people do time and time again.

Deuteronomy 28:33 says: The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway. No matter how hard we try to assimilate and prosper in this society, we have to understand that we’re still under the curses the LORD put us under for disobedience. And it doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, the fact still remains that anytime we try to set something up behind enemy lines, it’s thwarted or outright destroyed by the government.

History shows this when we tried to establish Black Wall Street in the early 1900s, in which every one of those towns were burned down and/or flooded. We also managed to maintain a strong family unit throughout it all, but after the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, the government introduced welfare whereas the man couldn’t be present in the house in order to receive benefits. This, in turn, destroyed the nuclear family, and we’re seeing the results of this in the present day.

Deuteronomy 28:43 says: The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. It’s twice as hard for us to set up any type of business longevity wise in our communities, but the Chinese and Arabs can get business loans to set up shop with no problem historically, for example. However, even though many of our neighborhoods are turning into food deserts due to the failing economy, so-called Blacks, Latinos, and Native Americans continue to thrive economically as the Deuteronomy 28 curses are beginning to be lifted off us and placed on the other nations.

We also have to understand that this place called America isn’t our rest as stated in Micah 2:10, and we have to wait patiently on Yahawashi, and not Jesus Christ, to establish the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth in the near future, brethren.

Deuteronomy 28:66 says: And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life. Our lives hang in the balance daily, and there’s no guarantee that we will return home once we walk out the door. One can’t let his or her guard down for one minute—there’s a good chance that someone who looks like you can take you out at any given moment, or the police can shoot you dead on a routine traffic stop, or diseases like cancer or diabetes can suddenly shorten your life—life on this side has no certainty on any level. Before I came into this truth, I lived in a constant state of fear and anxiety of what the future might bring, but now I fret not.

Let the Lord be your refuge, my brothers and sisters, and repent as well as pray as much as you can for salvation from the dreadful day of the Lord coming to a neighborhood near you. All praise, honor, and glory go to Yahawah Bahasham Yahawashi. Shalawam.
