JESUS said,
“A new commandment I give you, That ye love one another: as I have loved you, that ye also love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also LOVE ONE ANOTHER. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” (John 13:34) This commandment is no joke! If GOD said it, ” …that settles it…”
BRING IT DOWN ON HOME:
Dear Pastor(s) and in particular – the Congregational Care Pastor,
THE BAD SCENARIO:
On or about Monday – February 3, 2020, I called this particular church (a fabulous edifice, huge 4 story building covering blocks), the most beautiful stained glass windows, and an even bigger parking lot. Sorry, I cannot tell you the name of the church for confidential reasons.
I left two lengthy messages for the Congregational Care Pastor to forward to the Pastor(s). To this day, I have NOT received a follow-up phone call from the Congregational Care Pastor or any other church official expressing the church’s concern, regret, and/or apology for the behavior of the Pastor or certain angry, jealous white women! Shame on you!
On multiple sermons, the Pastor complains about homosexuals and he puts up on the screen other pastors who are condoning homosexual activity! Even worse, this Pastor said, “We have WEEDS right here in our church among our WHEAT! Again he said, “We have homosexuals, militants, and people trying to tell us how to worship!”
Who is he calling a weed? The Bible states that the wheat and tares will grow together and the angels will do the separating in the end! Furthermore, the Pastor’s job is to preach the Gospel (The Good News), declare the righteous works of JESUS, preach repentance, pray for souls to be saved, and be the Angel of the House! You don’t have to beat up the people because the SPOKEN WORD will eventually convict people to repent! The Church is the hospital for the sin sick and you must not thrown them out doors! In fact, the Pastor admits he is not perfect and he daily repents but no one is judging him or throwing him out doors. If the righteous are going to scarcely going to make it into the Kingdom of God, what about the sinner man?
However, the Pastor does not realize that he has THORNS among the WHEAT and stored up THORNS in the WHEAT BARN – full of hell! And these THORNS ARE THE RACISTS, THE ANGRY, THE ENVIOUS, AND JEALOUS/WHITE WOMEN, and a very few WHITE MEN. These evil people are the rich and outspoken white women who have money but they are unhappy with themselves. They wear expensive wool, silk clothing (including fur coats) but they hate Black women! Instead, they want Black women to look homeless, toothless, confused, broken down, bow-legged, and to look like Buckwheat (see the movie Our Gang) or Bertha Butt! However, many of us, ain’t looking like that – PRAISE THE LORD and THANK YOU JESUS! When a seasoned happy/well dressed woman (white or black) sees another woman of the same caliber, she immediately gives a compliment saying, “You look great!”
PLEASE NOTE: ****There are many good women and men in this church and they truly love the Lord and one can see this by their actions. This message is not for you! But there are a few rich white women who have money and they wear expensive wool, silk clothing (including fur coats) but they hate Black women! Instead, they want Black women to look homeless, toothless, confused, and look like buckwheat! ****
The Bible says, “But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, GLORY NOT, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth NOT from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” (James 3:14-18)
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED:
After three months of attendance, I decided to meet the Pastor who is always crying, blowing his nose (on national T.V. in the pulpit), and expressing his desire to shout in the Spirit– only he does not dance or shout before the Lord! This Pastor (after each sermon) invites all members and guests to meet him and other pastors at the close of the service. So, I stood in a line to meet this famous Pastor saying, “Pastor, I enjoy your messages but you’re always crying and talking about shouting, so why don’t you shout?” He replied, what did you say and what is your name? By the way he said this twice! So, I repeated myself! He asked, “who are you…did you fill out a visitor card?” So, I reached in my purse to give him my business card and he jumped back two (2) fee, crouching down, and waiving his right hand beckoning the Congregational Care Pastor to hurdle me off to the left side of the church (as if I was a THUG or TERRORIST!) This was very humiliating for me!
However, the Pastor could have said, “…thank you for coming and keep me in your prayers…” Instead, he acted as if I was a member of the mafia! Why is the Pastor so paranoid? What harm can a little short black lady do to him? Every movement is being recorded on camera! There is no escape from being captured as the police and undercover security (with guns) are roaming the hallways! Did the Pastor expect me to pull out a plastic fork? We are from the same blood line – Ham! If this man is afraid of terrorist, then, he should not invite people to meet him or shake his hand at the close of service! Frankly, I don’t own a gun and the Word of God is my weapon!
MY STORY:
The LORD commissioned me to visit this predominately white church in a well known, highly established, lucrative city for three whole months from November -December 2019 – thru the end of January 2020. I only missed one Sunday. To be honest (November, 2019), I was on my way to a hand-clapping, Holy Ghost filled, sanctified church, good preaching, fire-filled choir, and folks dancing, shouting, and praising the LORD! You see, I shout and dance before the LORD! Naturally, everybody in church ain’t saved but those who love the Lord, know how to praise HIS Holy Name. Oh yea! You can worship and praise the LORD within your heart and out loud! Not everybody rejoices as others and not everybody like to eat steak and baked potatoes. Some people like fried chicken, mashed potatoes, collard greens/ with onions, and rice pudding! You feel me?
One Sunday morning, the Lord redirected my vehicle to this predominately white church with a hand full of blacks – one can count the Negroes on 10 fingers and 10 toes. Again, I asked the Lord, why? In fact, I argued with the Lord and I shall tell you the reason why!
About 10 YEARS AGO, I visited this same predominately white church and I received cold, cold, cold stares and flaky hand shakes – you know the kind that people extend a three fingers and lightly shake your hand – then they turn to their kind and give then a big grin and a hardy hand shake. Ten years ago, the singers use to stand in the corner where the grand piano is now. Today, they stand stretched across the front stage! However, I was not there for the folk singing, I was there to hear the WORD OF GOD!
Ten years ago, I never got the chance to meet the Pastor and I was impressed by his fame, the huge congregation, the wealth, and the magnificent structure of the building!! Back then, I managed to over look the frowns and stares but finally, I could not take it anymore and never returned! My last Sunday (10 yrs ago), there was one loud African Lady who said “…Amen, Hallelujah…” to every word spoken by the Pastor. Within my heart, I laughed and thought “….maybe she will help snap them out of their quietness, stiffness of necks, and get into the Spirit…” From that time until the present, I never visited or attended that church; however, one Sunday morning about 8:30 AM, the Lord said, “I want you to go see how the Church XXX is doing!”
Let me say, no body wants to go into a restaurant or business where they are not wanted! I can imagine, no white person wants to enter into an all Black Church and he or she is the only non-black in the building — unless one is invited by a co-worker or neighbor. Let me say one more thing, there are a lot of good and wealthy people White and Black in hell! Be careful how you snob the Lord’s people because there is a curse out there for you who mistreat the least in God’s kingdom! Truly, I am the least in HIS kingdom!
TO THE GOOD CHRISTIANS:
This message is to all of you (black and white -especially Ms. Katherine and an elderly white couple who sat on the front seat) who treated me with warm hugs and kisses! Truly, had it not been for your welcoming and friendship (including those who patted me on the back and shook my hand during the welcoming), I could not have survived the three months of cold visitation. I thank those of you in the parking lot, on the entrance doors, and behind the counters (including the police officers) who said, “…good morning…”
One day (after service), there was a lovely blond white woman (with a medical boot on her foot) wearing a beautiful full length ranch mink coat who smiled and complimented my cashmere fox trim cape! She said, “…it was so cold that I pulled out this coat – might as well wear it…” We both smiled! In my previous Blog, I paid “Tribute To A Wonderful Sunday School Teacher!” Again, I thank Mr. Jimmy G and his lovely Wife! The world certainly need more devoted Christians like them and certain ones in my Sunday School Class who always whispered Good Morning to me! I love you and kiss you as my Brothers and Sisters in CHRIST JESUS!
I acknowledge the Hispanic lady (kitchen help) who always said good morning with a smile. Just because she works in the kitchen that is no reason not to acknowledge her! Also, I thank the nice looking white man who told the Hispanic lady to take me to the tea room – I wanted hot tea – not coffee.

TO THE UGLY CHRISTIANS:
JESUS said, “A new commandment I give you, That ye love one another: as I have loved you, that ye also love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also LOVE ONE ANOTHER. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” (John 13:34)
(1) To you ugly women who said, “Why are you here do you know someone here at the church?” “Who are you modelling for?” “Your clothing colors are so loud!” To be honest, several of you said the same thing which makes me believe you are talking to each other about me! What in the world can a little Black woman do to you and/or why are you so eager to hurt another soul? If you have money and you are dressed so well (judging from your jewelry, sun tans, expensive handbags, clothing, nails, and hair styles), why are you so angry at me?
I replied to you all, “I am here to serve, worship, and praise the LORD JESUS CHRIST!” Also, I assured you that I am not a model! I am not there to collect your men folk or any one’s boyfriend. My entire life is routed and grounded in the LORD JESUS! Furthermore, I gave many of you hugs to quench your fears! For your info, the LORD sent me there (after a span of 10 years) only to find the same evil, hateful, racist spirit still there and worse!
When you go up to accept the Lord Supper, be care as you dip that wafer in the wine and your heart is not right. The Lord can smite your riches, wealth, and even your health. Your skin will wrinkle and no moisturizers will help (including surgery). If for some reason, you cannot hold on to your man, it is not my fault because God can beautify you inwardly and outwardly! YOU’VE GOT TO LIVE THIS THING! The LORD said, “Be ye holy for I am holy…!” I will pray for your repentance because without repentance, you will not see the LORD’S face in peace on Judgment Day!
(2) To the one lady who came into the ladies room and just the two of us were in the room (just at the beginning of Sunday School 9:00 am) – YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO SLAM THREE BATHROOM STALL DOORS REAL LOUD AND IN CONSECUTIVE ORDER! In fact, you gave me the ugliest look and frown and I was only washing my hands. This happened in the ladies’ room nearest to the elevator! You are a hater! On your way out of the ladies’ room, you said, “Oh yea, by the way your boots are nice!” You really wanted to say, “I don’t like you, I don’t want you here, and you don’t fit in here at our church – so leave our church….”
You silly woman, “What kind of Christian are you?” You intended to act a fool because you checked to see if there was any body else in the stalls – no witnesses! Upon this discovery, you let that devil out! Again, you opened three stall doors and slammed them one by one – as you starred me down!
On another Sunday (before the rest room incident) morning about 10:20 am (before the start of service), I rushed to get a seat up front and you were seated on the far end (the row in front of me). I said, “good morning to you!” You never responded, so I got up and came over to you and said it again, “good morning!” Then you replied “..good morning…” barely opening your mouth. I shall never forget your face, no make up, short Buster Brown hair cut, glasses, and a true Plain Jane. After service started, your husband came in and put his arms around you. I wondered what your husband would have said to you (if only he had known your conduct). SHAME ON YOU! THE CHURCH BELONGS TO JESUS CHRIST AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO MISTREAT NOBODY!
(3) To all you other ladies (who starred me down in the rest room mirrors and rolled your eyes from my feet to the top of my head) who refused to welcome me to the Church as you tightened your lips, I FORGIVE YOU! In spite of your attitudes, I said, “…good morning…”
When your friends came in to the restroom, you initiated your “…good mornings to others coming in the restroom…” You have no right to mistreat anyone who comes into the HOUSE OF THE LORD to worship! Why? It is not your HOUSE! All souls belong to the LORD including “…the soul that sinneth…it shall die….” (Ezekiel 18:20) You all need to read your Bibles and your Pastor needs to know there are THORNS IN THE WHEAT BARN (before he calls other people WEEDS). If you (including myself) don’t have love one for another, you are none of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Please memorize John 13:34!
The Word says, “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not CHARITY, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, understand all mysteries, all knowledge; and though I have faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not CHARITY, I am nothing. and thou I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not CHARITY, it profiteth me nothing. CHARITY suffereth long, and is kind: CHARITY envieth not; CHARITY vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things…” (I Corinthians 13:1-7)
(4) To you jealous women and a racist men who placed spiritual daggers and knives in my back (every Sunday), I am a child of the LORD JESUS CHRIST! I am not a weed or misfit! Be very careful how you treat those appointed by GOD, “Do not touch My anointed ones and do no harm to My prophets?” (Psalm 105:15)
The Word says, “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offences? For it must needs be that offences come but woe to that man/woman by whom the offence cometh! (Matthew 18:6)
FINALLY:
Allow this stupid little Black lady to serve you notice! THE CHURCH DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU AS IT BELONGS TO THE ONE WHO PAID HIS BLOOD FOR ALL PEOPLE – JESUS CHRIST!
I forgive you all!
