You better come on Sis Ladora! 44yrs with a Pastor❤❤🙏🏿🙏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
It’s nice to think and dream about an America where everybody is equal and all of our citizens are treated fairly and equitable. Our dystopian national society is one fallen to sin. Nothing short of Yeshua’s return will change this world or our nation.
Stop believing in a fairytale white coming back to save u bro
@@falsefactsandtruelies1301 I can’t say that the scriptures don’t speak of a second coming. However, if one was to study the scriptures you’d definitely come to the realization that the Christ isn’t white. If we’re going to look at this from a biological perspective, he would be very much so interracial. The foreign presence in his direct bloodline cannot be denied. Nonetheless, the gospel is much too important to only be centered around one racial group or one segment of society. Basically, the good news. That although mankind has shown itself to be difficult, unreasonable, unreliable, and self destructive our Heavenly Father still refused to give up on us.
Personally, I do believe you’re not far from the truth, when it comes to someone coming to save us being the focal point. There is plenty that should be taking place right now at this moment, even according to the scriptures. Check out these few snippets about the kingdom.
Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory
Much like reasons behind patenting an idea or an invention, people utilize such laws so others can’t steal and monetize it or something even worse. Like taking the same concept, but understanding the necessary adjustments needed to improve and transform it into something greater.
I guess what I’m really trying to get say is that we’re out here trying to operate as a fully functional body when it’s obvious we’re missing some parts. Honestly, I believe we need some new blood in the body. Maybe people with minds that may operate a little different, but different meaning good, because they may see the little details that most miss. The necessary adjustments that would be like going from black and white to color. Sorry for carrying on so long, just thinking out loud...💭
We did not all enter christianity the same way. My ancestors accepted christianity at the end of a whip after being shipped to these shores on The Good Ship Jesus.
Some black people say im thankful slavery because that's how they met Jesus lol
Best statement I heard Christianity or the true origins of Christianity which is African Christianity has been corrupted completely compromised plegerised by our captors the Bible was written for superiority slaves love and fear your earthly masters pray for those who despite fully treats you with extreme prejudice but we continue to believe in a book that has nothing but European authors all biblical Literature European authors but we will not search our own spiritual origins or acknowledging the book of the dead or the oldest book historically the Ptahhotep written by Africans....
@@jerryjordan1448 Actually, the bible is a book written by black people (Hebrew Israelites), but captured and re-interpreted by white people (and others; it's a global conspiracy), for the purpose of enslaving a specific, chosen people (Hebrew Israelites); and hiding their identity and heritage so that they never become a nation again:
Psalms 83:
1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 THEY HAVE TAKEN CRAFTY COUNSEL AGAINST THY PEOPLE, AND CONSULTED AGAINST THY HIDDEN ONES.
4 THEY HAVE SAID COME, AND LET US CUT THEM OFF FROM BEING A NATION; THAT THE NAME OF ISRAEL MAY BE NO MORE IN REMEMBRANCE.
5 FOR THEY HAVE CONSULTED TOGETHER WITH ONE CONSENT: THEY ARE CONFEDERATE AGAINST THEE:
6 The tabernacles of Edom (sons of Esau, Romans, Greeks), and the Ishmaelites (Arabs); of Moab (Chinese), and the Hagarenes (sons of Hagar, Muslims, Arabs);
7 Gebal (Lebanese), and Ammon (Japanese), and Amalek (sons of Esau, Germans, Turkish, Huns); the Philistines (Palestinians, Syrian) with the inhabitants of Tyre (Lebanese);
8 Assur (Assyrian, Ethiopians) also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot (Moab and Ammon). Selah.
When you understand this, the bible makes sense. That's why Joseph's brothers didn't recognize him (Genesis 42:7) from the Egyptians when they encountered him after many years (if he was white, that would have stood out from the sons of Ham or Mizraim aka Egyptians); and Moses was able to be raised as the grandson of the Egyptian Pharaoh even though the Pharaoh had sworn a decree to kill all Hebrew males (Exodus 1:15-16); and Miriam and Joseph were instructed by an angel to hide the new born child in Egypt of all places (Matthew 2:13-15); and Paul was accused of being Egyptian by Greek soldiers, even though he claimed Roman citizenship (Acts 21:37-39). It all makes sense if all of these things take place in Africa and Asia, of which Africa is equatorial so the inhabitants are black. None of it makes sense if the people are white, including the implication that whites are indigenous to an equatorial continent, such as Africa.
So you see the bible isn't wrong, but through deception, you and the world have been deceived into understanding and believing it differently than what it actually reads. So you can pick any bible story and read it with the correct understanding that Israel is black and it will make sense. For example, the story of Naaman and the Hebrew slave girl, whereby the girl causes Naaman to go to Israel to cure his leprosy. This story only makes sense if the people of that time considered white skin lepros. Otherwise, there was nothing wrong with Naaman:
2 Kings 5:
1 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.
2 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.
3 And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.
4 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.
14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.
16 But he said, As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.
21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?
22 And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.
26 And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?
27 THE LEPROSY THEREFORE OF NAAMAN SHALL CLEAVE UNTO THEE, AND UNTO THY SEED FOR EVER. AND HE WENT OUT FROM HIS PRESENCE A LEPER AS WHITE AS SNOW.
There are too many examples to say more, but I think you get the point. It's time for Israel to awaken (which they are) and return to their own land (which Father YAH is causing to occur as we speak (Genesis 15:13-14). Shalom!
Where was Christ during the Atlantic Slave Trade and Arab-African Slave Trade???
He was there. Remember, Christ was whipped and nailed to a tree. The promise never mentions this life will be easy or good... But through His grace and faith in His resurrection we are saved. It's good to learn from the past, but we no longer live there. There is more tragedy to come. But may we set our sight on Christ and the New Jerusalem.
One of the most powerful, passionate, ariculate and impactful exposition I've listened to in a long time. Thank you Dr. Lavender
Cont...Reproof and Correction, is a part of the tone and function of this Sermon, as it functions as a part of a Christian, walking with a renewed mind. Roman’s 12:1-4, and not thinking to highly of oneself. Racial pride can be part of the error, of thinking or elevating oneself above another.
This is so good!!
Most excellent speech understanding I have ever heard, from someone, Wow.
Preacher my brother, preach!!!
He is preaching White Supremacy. Bush has given government faith base grants ( Executive Order). Nope Christianity and Race IS COMPATIBLE IN AMERICA!!
Where are all of the saved Apostle Paul’s of the Churches? How many times does Jesus need to teach on salvation is for people of all races, sexes etc. How can u declare that you have been saved yet treat people in direct opposition to the gospel?
That part! And having a few "Black friends" or taking pictures with President Obama...does not indicate you're not racist. (referring to elitist ).🙄
It sure is quiet out there...
Why do u say that
Crickets 🦗
awesome message
I WISH EVERYONE COULD HEAR THIS, POWERFUL
In listening and reading the comments, the venue I’m sure plays a part in his tone conscious or subconsciously. I have had to preach over someone who was drunk and loud in a church setting, not very easy to pull off. There is also a call and response going on here, part of Black Church tradition. Reproof is also part of the tone he is using, Titus 1:9 call for refutation or confrontation of false ideals and/or proclamation of the Truth. The Galatian Heresy continues to show up in different forms, racial pride and the elevation of one over the other is to be rejected. May this Gospel continue to be preached, and the leveling power of the Cross be seen.
This is a powerful, amazing reminder of truth...We all got saved the same way?. Our outward garment is Christ.💖🙏🏼 Christ is not concern with the value of colors and politics? shame on us for the continue division in flesh.. Praise God 4 the reminder👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Aaawesoommee
Do you know Pastor Lavender?
Mark 12: 30-31 'And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment.
"And the second, like it, is this: ' You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these.
Unless that "neighbor" might have a different skin color than yours. Then feel free to scourge that person at will. Works for some!
@@caribman10 good one
It doesn't matter, the church is divided by hate & lies. Jesus is truth, and the one that sets the capitive free.
Amen.
But who are the biggest racist?
Christianity is the most diverse religion, the most diverse groupe of social group of people on the planet that's not connected biologically.
and if your not a believer then the daddy of the entire universe doesn't except you as his kid ? ....this guy has no idea what he is saying or maybe he does .... this is the backwardness of bronzed-age blood human sacrifice worship faiths which was rampant during those times yet this guy doesn't see the the inhumanity of it all... " Believe In And Except Bronzed Age Blood Practice Belief Faiths Give It A Name Like Christianity And The Ghost Stuck In Your Flesh Body Will Be Saved From Torture Thus Says A Book Printed In A Bible Printing Press Warehouse . 😬 ... Yes Yes Tge Greatest Story Ever Told 😢
So god dont show favoritism read this
Deuteronomy 7:6
6For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

You can't use one verse to deny other verses because that means you're short sighted and missing the bigger picture, yes God chose the Israelites for a special purpose in the past and for the future BUT Jesus Christ she'd his blood for EVERYONE, remember that Jesus Christ himself told the Pharisees that he could raise children of abraham up from the stones and he also called them "of their father the devil".....in conclusion, don't be like the devil and tell half the story son, you'll end up looking stupid.
@@chaboi7 I look stupid but you are waiting for a white man coming out the sky to save you that's funny! Im not cherry picking the bible its many stories that backs what i posted. And stop with this devil bs you me and the rest of us are devils when we do wrong. There is no monster under the earth. We are all gods we create we destroy we kill and bring life. We are too old for fairytale stories
@@falsefactsandtruelies1301 you think Jesus Christ is a white man?😂😅, Dang dude you're talking to the wrong guy here
@@chaboi7 black white green or yellow it dont matter you believe a man coming for you in the clouds
@@falsefactsandtruelies1301 actually I believe the son of God is coming to pick up his bride/church....you need Jesus my friend
His message was good but he was way to loud!! I just stopped listening
Turn your volume down on your laptop and listen on.
Yeah all you had to do was turn the volume down, I didn't hear or see him acting crazy, he was as just probably tryin to get his voice out the the ppl in the back, relax a little
The devil made you miss the true meat of of his word? Heart changing if you hadn't been detracted.
So do you not know how to use your device? There are buttons called volume control😉
@@TheMostHighDaughter180 This is such an ignorant statement. It seems that in the black community, yelling to preach is the only way to a message across to the audience. I am pretty sure you got that growing up as a child.
