Radio Ministry Introduction

 

“Messiah”

 

 

I  greet you in the awesome name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the Messiah. Since today is my very first radio broadcast, I’d like to introduce myself and my ministry to you. I will share my background with you and tell you about the Awesome Revelation that I received from the Lord Jesus Christ several years ago in which He revealed some life changing things about Himself, myself and my people, the Black Race of people.  It is a message of hope and healing that every Black person in the world and indeed, every Christian needs to hear. It is the prophetic word from the Bible that has been preserved for our understanding in these latter days.

 

The Lord called me to ministry in 1994. After that He revealed my office in the Church to me as a Prophetess and prepared me for many years for this prophetic ministry that I lead today. I have been impregnated with this word for many years and it is now that the Lord has released me to bring it to the Church, the Body of Christ.

 

I want to assure you that the message I bring to you is in love and obedience to Jesus Christ. For those of you who may in any way think the words that I speak or the lessons of this broadcast are offensive, I ask one simple thing of you…that is that you will receive what I have to say with an open heart and mind towards the sovereignty of our Lord Jesus and what He is capable of doing.  The Holy Scriptures bares witness to what I am preaching and teaching.

 

You may want to get your Bibles now and during future messages that you listen to here at this radio broadcast. You may follow up on the messages at my Online Church which I will tell you about at the end of each broadcast.

 

I’d like to ask you to pray with me for a moment. You may bow your heads if you like. Dear Lord Jesus, I pray for each listener today, that you will speak to the hearts of your people and reveal your truths to each and every one of them. I pray for those who do not know you, that they will open their hearts and receive you as their Lord and Savior. Please bless the words that I speak today and anoint the ears of the listeners. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

 

The Scripture says in Revelation chapter12 verse11 King James Version; “They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their own lives unto death.” What you are about to hear is my testimony and message for you, the Saints of G-d.

 

Several years ago I had an unforgettable and unmistakable encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ.  No, I did not see Him nor was there a big bright light in the sky. I was simply driving home from work one day, which was about a 45-minute drive, when I heard the Lord speak to me very clearly.

 

He said, “ I have found favor with you…I want to tell you about the future of your people.”

 

“ My people?” I questioned, knowing at that moment that it was indeed the Lord Jesus who was speaking to me. “Who Lord are my people? My family? African American people? Or the entire Black Race?”

 

The Lord spoke back to me and said, “ The Black Race, they are your people; from America to Africa to over all the continents of the world, the Black people are your people.”

 

“Yes Lord, I said in wonder and in awe.

 

He continued, “ Your people were once Kings and Queens and shall once again return to being Kings and Queens in your lifetime.”

 

I marveled at what the Lord was saying.

 

Over the next few days and months, the Lord continued to  dialogue with me and told me some of the most astonishing things I have ever heard.  The Lord told me that He was a Black man when he walked the earth. “ He said, “I am Black.” I was in shock and awe at what the Lord was telling me.

 

He went on to tell me that, I like Himself, am Jewish. He also told me that the Black Race are the original Jewish people. He then told me something that I could have fainted over, but I didn’t.

 

The Lord revealed to me that I am closely related to Him. He told me that I am a descendant of His Mother Mary and Joseph. He revealed to me that I come from the same Royal Line that He comes from and that I, like Himself, am from the Tribe of Judah. He also revealed to me clearly that King David is my ancestor and that I am part of the family of the House of David.

 

Wow! I know I just said a whole lot. You all probably have a thousand questions running through your minds right now. So did I.

 

First, let me tell you that I have done a complete and thorough study of the Holy Scriptures as well as reading other books pertaining to Israel and Africa, since the Lord gave me these revelations.  The Lord instructed me early on to use the Holy Bible for my primary research for the revelations that He had given me and that the answers to my questions were in the Bible, which I found to be true.  I have prayed unceasingly since Jesus revealed these things to me. I could not come on to this public broadcast and boldly speak these things to you today had it not been for the fact that the Holy Scripture supports the things that Jesus spoke to me. In addition to that, Jesus has clearly confirmed to me in many ways that this is truth and for me to go into the world with this testimony and prophetic message.

 

You may be asking yourselves why the Lord would reveal these things about ethnicity and what the purpose is. These are the questions that I will be answering and teaching about from this radio broadcast.  In the meantime, I want you to know right now, today, that the reasons for the Lord’s revelation of this knowledge is extremely significant to our Christian lives today and may possibly be the most important information to the Worldwide Church for our century.

 

It marks a change of direction in the Church and has brought us into the time of Restoration of the Jews which is prophesied throughout the Holy Scripture. The question that has to be answered however is, who these Jewish people are that are to be restored. The identification of these people is of great importance because it identifies them as G-d’s chosen people of whom great promises are prophesied to. The Black Race of people is who I am professing are these chosen Jewish people according to my study and understanding of the Scripture and Revelation Knowledge.

 

It is my intention to give you a full understanding of what the Lord is doing in this hour of the Church and why the things that I am proclaiming are important to all Christians today. We are living in a new dispensation of the Church and the Lord is doing new and marvelous things in times of trouble and tribulation, which He prophesied would happen. Jesus’ Spirit has come powerfully, to us, the Black race to heal and restore His people but not without tribulation. There are Scripture references to this that you may read in Daniel 9:25 & Jeremiah chapter 30.

 

We are now, today, much closer to the Lord’s return and He is making that evident through the events in the world, and in the Church. What the Lord Jesus has revealed to me is that He now wants the Church pointed towards the Preparation for His return. He is now beginning the Restoration of the original Jewish people and Jewish rites by first revealing who He really is and who His original Jewish people were and who their descendants are, the Black peoples of the world today. He is simultaneously preparing the Bride of Christ, the Church Body for His return by calling us to a higher level of holiness, greater discipline and greater obedience to Him. He wants excellence.  Jesus is coming for a spotless Church and this is that day that He will show us what spotless is.

 

I invite you to tune into this radio broadcast regularly. I also invite you to go online to my Online Church where I have expounded on all of the issues that I talk about on this broadcast. There is also  Sunday School and Sabbath Day School Online where I will hopefully be able to answer the many questions that you may have and set you on a new path of deeper fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Please tune into my upcoming sermons where I will show you through Scripture why I can proclaim the Lords ethnicity and the Jewish ethnicity of the Black Race.  I will also delve into reasons why these revelations are important, and what it means to the Body of Christ.

 

I will occasionally change up the broadcast by having special guests on and at other times, call-in question and answer sessions. I will be teaching you about our Hebrew, Jewish Heritage and how to start observing the Jewish Rites that are rightfully ours, the Black Race, to observe. Jesus too, like us, was Jewish and observed Jewish holidays and customs. As we have always been taught, we will follow in the footsteps of our Lord. These are new steps that He is giving us.

 

Now, I’d like to tell you a little about myself and my background.

 

I am 48 years old and have been a Christian all of my life. I was baptized at 13 years old, however, I didn’t really come to know the Lord Jesus personally until I was 22 years old. At that time I gave my life to the Lord and became born-again. I have spent most of my adult Christian years in the Episcopal Church working in Lay Ministry in many different capacities.

 

I have received my spiritual training through the many life experiences that the Holy Spirit has taken me through as well as my service in the local church. I am currently a theology student at the Christian International School of Theology in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. I am also the Pastor of a Revolutionary Online Church that I have been speaking about called New Israel Church of Jesus Christ Online. I am the Founder of Tribe of Judah Ministries here in Tallahassee and am the author of the book “Me? Jewish?, The Revelation of a Black American Christian Jewish Woman” in which I tell my complete story. I am also a Speaker and am available for speaking engagements.

 

My professional experience includes that of being a business owner of a hair salon for many years and also many years of experience in the Real Estate Profession in which I hold a Broker’s License.

 

I look forward to being one of your radio Pastors and hope that you will feel free to e-mail me if you like.  Please go to my online church to the Pastor’s page or Service Times and Contacts for my email address. There is also a prayer team online waiting to pray for you if you have a need. Please go to “prayer warriors.” The online church web address will be given at the end of this broadcast.

 

Please pray with me now. Dear Lord, I thank you for speaking to the hearts of your people today. I pray Lord, that all whom you call will come to you and receive the full understanding of you and your will. May you watch over and bless each listener and their families and keep them safe in your care. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.

 

Before I say good-bye, I’d like to let the victims of hurricane Katrina know that my thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you and your families. I want to encourage you that while you have been struck with great tribulation, your restoration is at hand. It is the Lord Jesus Christ who will restore your broken hearts and homes. Trust Him. He Loves You and knows your troubles. Jesus is still in control regardless of how it may look or seem. Keep your heads up and keep your faith.

 

“But you, dear beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.” These are the words spoken to you today from the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ, Judas in  the book of Jude verse 20. Read also Isaiah 30:25-30.  It is a word from the Lord for you and for us.

 

For those who would like to continue to contribute to the relief efforts of our brothers and sisters, I am working with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in organizing local donations for the people.  There are two donation locations where we are collecting small brand new stuffed animals for the children and basic needs supplies and products for all. You can take your donations to Settles Beauty and Barber Supply on South Monroe Street and to De Youngsters Hair Salon on E. Tennessee Street. Monetary donations can be made online with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) at www.sclcnational.org. Your help is very much appreciated. Let’s pull together as a people and help our people.
