'70,000 BLACK WOMEN ARE MISSING…WHY?'

By B. Jordan The number of missing Black women

in America was at 64,000, but has risen to over 70,000 and no one seems to care. When was the last time you saw an "Amber Alert" for a missing Black woman or child? For me, it's been months, but our children are disappearing daily as well as our teens and younger women. It is believed by many that these women are being used as sex-slaves, domestic servants or for illegal organ trafficking. Please be aware of where you are as well as your daughters. There are many scams out there trying to lure young teens from 14-18 and younger women from 19-25 into modeling or traveling deals promising them huge sums of money. You'll notice signs on lamp posts or in the grass offering them money. Don't take the bait. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is, so do what's right and stay in school or get a job. It's not just Black women that are being kidnapped; it's also Latina and Indigenous women as well. White women are kidnapped too, but they get the media coverage the other women don't get. Here are some tips for how to keep safe:

Pay Attention - put your phone away and watch

the people around you. You are gifted by God

with Intuition, so never ignore it. If you feel

you're being followed, find a safe place

(restaurant or store) where there are plenty of

people around. Always let family or friends

know where you are.

Travel in Pairs or in Groups - Be each other's

keeper and look out for one another.

Never take the same way home or to

work/school - by doing this it will make you

aware if you see the same person/people on

your routes. Be safe and report the information

to security or the police.

Learn some self defense - Always think about

what you would do if someone tried to take you.

Have a plan already in your mind and make as

much noise as you can.

If you are driving - Don't stop for the police, call

911 and tell them you are being followed by the

police and will stop at the nearest gas station or

police station. Stay on the phone; don't hang up

until you arrive. Always keep your doors

locked and windows up.

Parents - tell your children what to do if

someone tries to take them. Don't write their

names on the front of their backpacks. When

children hear someone call them by name they

think the person knows you or someone in the

family. Keep the school and your child informed

on who is picking them up each day.

Be careful who you entertain - whether in

person or through Social Media, there are

criminals all over, so again, be CAREFUL.

"The Land of Canaan" [Taken from Wikipedia]

Canaan ebrew Arabic ) was

the ancient Biblical region of the Levant

(an approximate historical geographical

term referring to a large area in the

Eastern Mediterranean). It is also a Semitic personal name or

surname used by Arabic and Hebrew-speaking people.

Canaan /ˈkeɪnən/; Northwest Semitic knaʿn; Phoenician: Biblical ebrew/ asoretic [Kənā‘an; Ḵənā‘an] was a

Semitic-speaking region in the Ancient Near East during the

late 2nd millennium BC. In the Bible it corresponds to the

Levant, in particular to the areas of the Southern Levant that

provide the main setting of the narrative of the Hebrew Bible,

i.e., the area of Israel, Philistia, Phoenicia, and other nations.

The name Canaan occurs commonly in the Hebrew Bible,

with particular definition in references Genesis 10 and

Numbers 34, where the "Land of Canaan" extends from

Lebanon southward to the "Brook of Egypt" and eastward to

the Jordan River Valley. References to Canaan in the Bible are

usually backward-looking, referring to a region that had

become something else (i.e., the Land of Israel).

The term Canaanites serves as an ethnic catch-all term

covering various indigenous populations—both settled and

nomadic-pastoral groups—throughout the regions of the

southern Levant or Canaan.[1] It is by far the most frequently

used ethnic term in the Bible,[2] which commonly describes

Canaanites as a people which, in the Book of Joshua are

marked down on a list as one of the nations to be

exterminated,[3] and later as a group which the Israelites had

annihilated.[4]

Archaeological attestation of the name Canaan in Ancient

Near Eastern sources relates almost exclusively to the period

in which the region operated as a colony of the New Kingdom

of Egypt (16th–11th centuries BC), with usage of the name

almost disappearing following the Late Bronze Age collapse

(ca. 1206–1150 BC).[5] The references suggest that during

this period the term was familiar to the region's neighbors on

all sides, although scholars have disputed to what extent such

references provide a coherent description of its location and

boundaries, and regarding whether the inhabitants used the

term to describe themselves.[6] The Amarna Letters and other

cuneiform documents use Kinaḫḫu [Kinakh'khu], while other

sources of the Egyptian New Kingdom mention numerous

military campaigns conducted in Ka-na-na.[7]

The name Canaanites kǎnā‘anīm, kǎnā‘anī, chana‘ani) is attested, many centuries later, as the endonym of the people later known to the Ancient Greeks from c. 500 BC as Phoenicians,[4] and following the

emigration of Canaanite speakers to Carthage, was also used

as a self-designation by the Punics (chanani) during Late

Antiquity. This mirrors later usage in later books of the

Hebrew Bible, such as at the end of the Book of Zechariah,

where it is thought to refer to a class of merchants or to non-

monotheistic worshippers in Israel or neighboring Sidon and

Tyre, as well as in its single independent usage in the New

Testament, where it is alternated for "Syrophoenician" in two

parallel passages.

Canaan had significant geopolitical importance in the Late

Bronze Age Amarna period (14th-century BC) as the area

where the spheres of interest of the Egyptian, Hittite, Mitanni

and Assyrian Empires converged. Much of the modern

knowledge about Canaan stems from archaeological

excavation in this area at sites such as Tel Hazor, Tel

Megiddo, and Gezer.

'LIVE, WORK, AND DIE,

IN THE RIGHT MIND' Submitted by Bro. W. Slater

Read the Bible, it doesn’t hurt. But man

needs the word, as the key, to open the

gates to enter that great city (REV.22:14). God gave man six

thousand years to work for the key to that great city

(REV.22:27).

JOHN 3:(6) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that

which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (7) Marvel not I say unto

thee, ye must be born again.

The flesh has many flaws: lust, grief, pain, suffering,

sickness, disease and death.

ISAIAH 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak

not according to this word, it is because there is no light in

them.

To the Old Testament (law) and to the New Testament

(evidence): if they speak not according to this word, it is

because they are still in darkness.

PS.82:(2) How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the

persons of the wicked? (3) Defend the poor and the fatherless:

do justice to the afflicted and needy. (4) Rid them out of the

hand of the wicked. (5) They know not, neither will they

understand; they walk on in darkness; all the foundations of

the earth are out of course.

GEN.3:22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become

as one of us, to know good and evil: and now lest he put forth

his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for

ever.

ISAIA 66 18 I know their works and their thoughts……..

Sure God knows their works and their thoughts. Men have

the mind of God to know good and evil. Therefore God

knows where man is; either in the light, or in the darkness.

It’s the only two places men can be on the earth under

heaven.

The place of wickedness

(Wrong mind) Darkness, wicked, evil.

The place of righteousness

(Right mind) Light, righteous, good.

JOHN 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am

the light of the world: he that followed me shall not walk in

darkness, but shall have the light of life.

LUKE 16:24 And he (the rich man) cried and said, father

Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may

dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue: for I am

tormented in this flame. (This is a warning from the judge,

lawgiver, and King (GEN.18:25; IS.33:22; MATH.28:18;

JOHN 5:22, 27; ACTS 10:42).

The rich man worked, lived, and died, in the wrong mind;

while Abraham and Lazarus lived, worked, and died, in the

right mind.

When a man enters the light, he sheds all darkness; but when

he enters the darkness, he sheds all light. EZEK.18:20-22;

33:15-16; I PET.2:1-5

ROM.12:2 Be not conformed to this world; but be ye

transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove

what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

I JOHN 1:(5) This is the massage we have heard of him, and

declare it unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness

at all. (6) If we say we have fellowship with him, and walk in

darkness, we lie, and do not the truth. (7) But if we walk in the

light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with

another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us

from all sins

AMOS 3;3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

(Light overshadow darkness)

I TIM.6:16 (Christ Jesus) who only hath immortality, dwelling

in the light which no man can approach unto: whom no man

hath seen, nor can see, to whom be honour and power

everlasting. Amen.

I COR.15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh, neither doth

corruption inherit incorruption and blood cannot inherit the

kingdom of God.

MATH.8:(11) And I say unto you, many shall come from the

east and west, and shall tsit down with Abraham, and Isaac,

and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven; (12) But the children of

the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall

be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The man that adds or takes away from the Word of God will

receive no key to the gate.

REV.22:(18) For I testify unto every man that heareth the

words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto

these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are

written in this book. (19) And if any man shall take away from

the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away

his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and

from the things which are written in this book.

PROV.2:(10) When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and

knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul ;(11) discretion shall

preserve thee; understanding shall keep thee; (12) to deliver

thee from the way of the evil men; form the men that speaketh

forward things; (13) who leave the paths of uprightness, to

walk in the ways of darkness; (14) who rejoice to do evil, and

delight in the frowardness of the wicked

The commandments, statutes and judgments of God are in the

mind of every man to govern himself, and of his household,

justly. But the flesh is bias, and is not subject to the law of

God, because of its lewd and perverseness of the wrong mind

to satisfy the flesh in the darkness,

You Can't Wash Off GMO!

Presenting the Top Seven

Reasons to Never Buy

Genetically Mutated Food

by S.D. Wells of Natural News

Oooh, let's talk about the lies the food

industry tells us! They brainwash us with commercials of food

that looks good. They repeat what to eat over and over and

over again, until it sinks in our brains.

But what if YOU are consuming pesticide DAILY, because

the kind of pesticide lurking in genetically modified food

(GMO) can never be washed off, and your body may not be

able to dispose of it either.

That would mean your cells are mutating because they are

trying to interpret the nutrition in the food and it's just NOT

there.

The misinterpretation of things that taste sweet or salty tricks

your body into ingesting bug killer and weed killer genes, and

your gut is CREATING pesticide. Did you not know?

Why do you think the people who are so adamant about

banning GMO are so dogmatic when they speak about it?

They know. They don't want cancer. Listen to them.

You can't wash off GMO, so you better buy organic fruits,

vegetables, nuts and seeds.

#1) Nearly all corn sugar and HFCS contains pesticide that

severely damages gut bacteria, your biological seat of

immunity

#2) The U.S. Government is actively engaged in making

children sick with processed GMO school food so they will

have health problems that cost parents BIG dollars.

#3) Most animals raised on corporation-run farms consume

GMO feed, so in turn they are cancerous before you eat them

or their byproducts.

#4) Aspartame and MSG are GMO, in case you didn't know --

chemically designed to make you fat! Are your taste buds,

brain and stomach addicted to junk science?

#5) Seven billion dollars a year worth of food is funneled

through the Non-GMO Project verification because health

enthusiasts demand non-poisonous food!

#6) Just because you can't smell it, taste it, see it, and it's not

on the label, doesn't mean it's not there -- GMO food contains

pesticide!

#7) Why do whole grains cause inflammation? Could it be

they're illegally grown as GMO -- and what does China know

about the USA that you don't?

'The Potters Clay'

“But now, O LORD, thou art our

father; we are the clay, and thou

our potter; and we all are the

work of thy hand. “ – Isaiah 64:8

Jesus is the potter and I am the clay. Whip me

into shape Lord this very day so I won’t stray.

Beat me if you must for the sins I committed

yesterday. Mold me into that which I was born to

be, create in me what you desire of me.

Expose the potential you created in me for the

fear of failure has crippled me. Scrub away those

rough edges all around me for I can be abrupt

with others who annoy me. Squeeze the iniquity

right out of me. Shape me into that which you

created me to be.

This world of confusion has infected me –

corrupted me – made a liar out of me. Wanting

the finer things in life have exposed me to greed

and the negative side of prosperity. I’m tempted

to do those things I know God would not approve

of me. Those temptations of the flesh wants –

what it wants – when it wants – it’s driven by

sinful thoughts? This flesh is trying to kill me

separate me from God and all the blessings he

has in store for me.

I was once a beautiful vase etched in love formed

by the hands of God Almighty. I was created in

God’s image a vessel strong and sturdy the

ability to do God’s work. A vessel which

contained love, hope and faith – now filled with

lies and deception, corrupted by man-made

traditions. Such a beautiful vase was I who fell

from God’s grace – broken when I disobeyed his

Ten Commandments.

I am the clay that the potter Jesus created. Clay

hardened – exposed to the storms of life – once

sheltered when I put my trust and faith in God.

Consumed with negativity I didn’t build my house

on that rock called Jesus. I have fallen, my spirit

is broken I’m unable to mend myself –help me –

put me back on the shelf of Salvation.

The word of God is that glue that can reunite

you. Only the hands of God can gather the pieces

of your existence putting you back together –

this time forever.

“And the vessel that he made of clay was

marred in the hand of the potter: so he

made it again another vessel, as seemed

good to the potter to make it.”

- Jeremiah 18: 4
