You will spare your kids a lot of headaches, heartaches, and heartbreaks if you teach them to rely on God's Word as the sole authority for their lives. We build our lives on the Word of God, and we should teach our children to do the same. God’s Word is the truth. Jesus said, “… You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32, TEV) I want my kids to be free. I don’t want them bound up by guilt. I don’t want them bound up by worry. I don’t want my kids messed up by resentment. I don’t want them to be pressured by the expectations of others.
We need to teach our kids that, when we build our lives on God’s Word, we in genuine freedom. A life built on God’s Truth is filled with happiness, joy, passion and purpose. You will spare your kids a lot of headaches, heartaches, and heartbreaks if you teach them to rely on God’s Word as the sole authority for their lives. God expects you to be the primary teacher of his Word, and that means you have to know God’s Word! Like many people, you may need to catch up by getting into a Bible study. Then, teach your children to study the Bible for themselves. Jesus said, “I gave them the message that you gave me, and they received it; they know that it is true that I came from you, and they believe that you sent me.” (John 17:8, TEV)

Hello Ms. Shields,
Since we are Black Americans and not Jewish people the word of God to our children must come from our own prophet and not the prophets of Jewish people, am I right.
The words of God that you are referring to all came from the mouths of Jewish prophets and Black Americans are not Jewish people.
God can deal with Black Americans the same as when God dealt with the Israelites through Moses.
You have been misled and have been wrong all your life. You do not understand how God works. In other words, the word of God to the Jewish people is for the Jewish people.
ABSOLUTELY! It is absolutely True that All should know the words of the Creator of Adaam(as)
but as 1492-1864 American europeanBibble understanding has shown history,
All have not known the words of the Creator of Adaam(as) -- they were wrong!
what a farce? rickyWarren does not want guilt of past ignorance?
as a nurse sweetInspiration you know that
when a person is a addict; to food, to cigarettes, to drugs, to crime,etc; that person if they want to be Free of that addiction---they MUST relinquish there past history, their past mistakes, their past behaviors, their past addictions.
paganChristians though; do not wish to relinquish their past history, their past mistakes, their past behavious, their past-- made up god -- addiction.
once the addict overcomes this addiction, then I believe medically speaking and for the Benefit of the Family of Adaam(as)--then that person can be FREE.
And then can be filled with happiness, joy, passion and purpose
@Harry ...God's Word should be taught to his children. If Jews have God's Word which as you've indicated is only meant for Jews...Then you should well know, there are many nations...But there is only "One God"... and there is only One Word of God...And there is Only One Holy Spirit. God is WORD -- not divided to suit to prophets, God's Word is among disciples in all nations who wish to learn of his Word. One should teach the Word. Again..I state There is Only One Word and the Word is God.
Every prophet that God has anointed has the word of God specifically for their own people since prophets are racially different.
In other words, Prophet Mohammed had the word of God specifically for the Arabian people since Prophet Mohammed was an Arab man.
Similarly, Prophet Moses had the word of God specifically for the children of Israel since Moses was an Israelite.
Likewise, Prophet Harry has the word of God specifically for black Americans since Harry is a Black American.
The word of God for one group of people is different from another group of people even though it is still the word of God.
You shortsighted Negroes are trying to apply the word of God given to the Jewish people to your selves when you are not Jewish people; but instead, you are Black Americans. The reason you are doing this is because we are descendents of slaves and we are ignorant people. But, since God has anointed us a prophet, Prophet Harry our spiritual ignorance will soon disappear. Similarly, when God anointed Moses the ignorance of the children of Israel soon disappear that in able them to become a sovereign people in their Promised Land, am I right.
In conclusion, only your prophet and he have to be a Black American just as you are has the word of God for us. A Jewish prophet, Jesus or otherwise cannot have the word of God for us since we are not Jewish people.
For example, Robert has the word of God that was given to Prophet Mohammed specifically for the Arabian people, but Robert things the word of God for the Arabian people is good for him. However, the word of God for the Arabian people is not workable for Robert because Robert is not an Arab man. Therefore, you could see how ignorant Robert is.
Please don't change what I said. I did not say anything about a disciple in all nations. I do not know what you mean about a disciple in all nations.
I said that prophets are racially different. The reason is because they have the word of God specifically for their own race of people.
In other words, Jesus had the word of God specifically for the Jewish people. Prophet Mohammed had the word of God specifically for the Arabian people. Prophet Moses had the word of God specifically for the children of Israel since Moses was an Israelite. Prophet Harry has the word of God specifically for Black Americans who are descendents of plantation slaves since Harry is a Black American himself.
Do you see a pattern of how God works? In other words, if you are not a Jewish woman Jesus can not be your prophet. Ms. Shields you have been misled all of your life.
Likewise, Siebra who is a Black American woman believe Prophet Mohammed is her prophet. Isn't it clear this see that Ms. Siebra has been misled?
Now the question is what are you all going to do? Are you all going to change or will you all continue on the wrong path?
@ Brother Rob, You are also my inspiration and I think you are correct in saying that addicts must relinquish their addictive behaviors in order to be free. I was covering a nurse while she was on break when her patient a 33 year old guy who had fallen from a scaffold several years ago rang the call light. He was sitting on the edge of his bed doubled over in pain. I assumed he needed something for pain and I asked him so. He confirmed my suspicion; I went to check his medication sheet to discover he was receiving Oxycontin CR 200 mg four times a day as a weaning protocol.
I almost pasted out when I saw this. The night prior although he wasn't my patient, I talked to him extensively where he was able to tell me his story but at the time I had no clue he what he was hospitalized for (Oxycontin Addition). He apparently was really messed up in the scaffold accident requiring many surgeries and in a lot of pain. He said that he really regrets that his previous doctors prescribed him Oxycontin, but I told him that they (doctors at the time) thought they were helping him. He agreed. Now the poor guy is fighting the fight of his life to come of the Oxycontin. It's not easy, I'm sure.
@ Miisrael I am so sorry... I accidently deleted your post. Of course I do not mind you posting to my blogs! Sorry Love.
Wednesday, June 15th 2011 at 5:10PM I hope my Sister Jen will not mind if I post this past blog.. This is a reminder of how God is Word. A DISCIPLE IN ALL NATIONS One will find how God plans works with all disciples of every race. http://blackinamerica.com/cgi-bin/blog.cgi... MIISRAEL Shields

@Jen...thank you.
@Harry.. It's apparent you do not understand what I am saying. So since I have tried quite simply to explain that it is the Word is God should be taught to God's children that all God's prophets/disciples are in every nation. Which means you are to teach God's Word to his people. There is no conflict of interest that you should teach God's Word. When I speak of disciples I am talking about each nations of the Word being spread and taught. It is your opinion to say that I am mislead, however I know who will have the last word... It will be the Word of God.
Please teach God Word Harry...it that too much to ask of you? Fulfill your destiny God has given you.
