Were you surprised or dismayed that Claudine Gay played the race card as her chickens came home to roost? What can the Ecclesia do to finally make our Enemy regret continuing to play this same old dirge in America?

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun (Eccl. 1:9)

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

The Puritans planted the root of a gospel commission in our nation. A counterfeit, ugly, parallel root grows in our nation: the demonic idea of one’s value being determined by their ethnicity (aka race).

The latter root is evidenced in the horrors perpetrated against Turtle Island’s (America) First Nations people, the wickedness done to Irish and Asian indentured servants (slaves) and communities as the new nation formed, and the inexplicable horrors done to those kidnapped from Africa and the West Indies.

America’s history is multifaceted, and the subjugated has often become the subjugator. Consider the complexity of the Buffalo Soldiers. They are considered pioneer heroes who helped expand America westward despite experiencing abject racism. But they also participated in some of the most violent covenant-breaking campaigns against First Nations peoples.

In America’s history, there is truly enough blame of evil to go around for everyone. At some point, the Body of Christ has to say “Enough!”

We have to decide if we are truly of One LORD, one faith, one baptism (Ephesians 4:5 – 6), and if we believe that all of us are equal in the eyes of GOD, because He shows no partiality and accepts no bribes (Deuteronomy 10:17). He commands us in Romans 12:3, For by the grace [of God] given to me I say to everyone of you not to think more highly of himself [and of his importance and ability] than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has apportioned to each a degree of faith [and a purpose designed for service].

In America, the church is complicit. Fake Reverends, self-loathing liberal elites and others continually stir the fomenting pot of hatred; adding more hate-based lies, programs, and initiatives to the mix every day.

How can we respond? Matthew 11:12 speaks about violent men seizing the kingdom of heaven by force of violence.  I believe we must learn the art of godly spiritual violence. Spiritual violence is that which is rooted in all of who GOD is, is led by His Spirit, and violently resists the Devil so that he must flee. It is deployment using the WORD and word of GOD.

In October 2020, I submitted an opinion piece to a Christian publication (not IFA) titled, Christians Voting for Democrats are Being Herded to Destruction.  The piece was published with a new title: I am a Free Black Woman. Why I won’t vote Democrat this year.  Why the editorial change?  Was it to draw clicks, because the race card attracts and sells even amongst Christians?

In February of 2021, I publicly renounced my “Black Card” membership, because I finally accepted that membership in good standing is predicated upon advancing and/or tolerating things that GOD hates.  This may seem extreme. But I see the evidence of how our Enemy and his legions have used the modern construct of race and ethnicity to deride and divide America. I also noticed the ease with which I once settled into many of those constructs.

Once I received the revelation, I needed and wanted to violently uproot every spoiled seed, destroy every rotten fruit, and fully surrender to the LORD’s refining fire. Thankful that GOD first chose me, I finally chose Him completely. The process continues, but I hope that I’m increasingly sowing seeds and producing fruit of righteousness and justice, judging the heart rather than appearance.

Has the Church helped to stack the race-baiting and race-card decks through acts and beliefs of omission and commission?  Has Christian white guilt hurt our nation and our witness? Arguably, yes.

Let’s advance the Kingdom of Heaven by taking back what’s been stolen. Let’s respond with biblical, spiritual violence.  Personally, this necessitated me returning the divisive and scientifically inaccurate label of Black and its associated Black Card back to its hell-bound sender, while surrendering to the process of having my mind renewed about who I am and who others are in Christ.  To start the year, please prayerfully consider what this might look like in your life.
