The Father of Racism

The tactic of divide and conquer is not new.

If you have two large groups against you, and you know that together, they can easily overcome you, what do you do? Get them to fight each other. Then you can sit back and wait. The winner, not only has now shown you their tactics and strengths, weaknesses and flaws, but they are now battle weary from the fight against the other group. Now you can waltz in and defeat them quite easily.

What I want to share with you today, is the fact that, Racism is very real. However, this is not new either. There has been Racism since there were Races. There is now, and always will be until the return of Christ Himself, those that have been taught to hate anyone that does not look like, believe as, or is just like, them.

Racism and discrimination was not created by White folks. It was not created by Black folks. It was not created by Man at all. It was created by the devil. Lets stop blaming each other, and put the blame where it belongs. At the feet of Satan himself. Lets go all the way back in time to the time that there was only one Race.

From the creation of Man, we were all one. All the way up to the flood, we were all one. After the flood, we were all one. Then came the concept, that we, all working together, could build a tower to and enter into Heaven itself. You can find this story in....

Genesis 11:
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
So right there we get to see where the Races were created. Those that went to China, became Chinese. Africa, Africans, India, Indians. Europe, European. ETC. Now did God do this to punish us for trying to do something we could not do? No. He stopped us from doing something that we COULD do. Remember, God said "Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."

What this means, is united, we can indeed accomplish anything. So He separated us to stop us from doing what we shouldn't be doing. There is only one way to Heaven, and a tower is not it. But this opened the door for Satan. For now that the creation of God has been separated, for attempting to commit the same Sin as Lucifer himself by the way, he could now use this difference, to create hate. To further divide Mankind. So he did.

Now this Race is taught that they are to be the most predominant. The most important. The others are inferior. He infused into them, Pride. Be proud of your Race. Be Proud of who you are. Do not allow others to see you as equal to them. You are the most important Race. Hence, Racism was created.

I have also heard it said that Racism has only be around for a couple of hundred years. Not true. Moses was discriminated because he married a Black woman. Look at this in....

Numbers 12:
1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
Moses is a Jew. Zipporah was from Ethiopia. Also known as the Land of Cush. Cush is an ancient name for an area of Africa. Lets go back on that trip we took once before. Lets go to Africa. Look around. What do you see? Black folks. Same Black folks that have been there fore thousands of years. Go to China, look around, what do you see? Chinese folks. Same that have been there for thousands of years. India? Yup. Same thing. Go to the Middle East. Go to Egypt. What do you see? Yup. Moses was Jewish. What does Jewish folks look like? You got it. By the way, as a side note, Jesus was a Jew. What did He look like?

So Moses Marries a Black women and a non Jew...
2 And they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it.
So because he had committed such a vile act in their eyes, they sought to denounce him and put him away. To reject him and his role set by God Himself. But this angered God.
3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

4 And the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.

5 And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed.

10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
Now it goes on to say that Moses asks God to forgive them and heal her, and he does. But that is how much Racism disgusts God. Especially when one discriminates against one of His own children. You have to remember, that in God's family, there is NO Black or White. There are no Japanese, Chinese, Indian, American, Israeli, whatever. We are all one. We are all Blood Red, the color of the Blood Jesus shed for us all. The Blood that cleanses us of all our Sins.

Go to Colossians. It is very important for you to understand what God is saying here. In....

Colossians 3:
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Now He is talking to YOU. The Adopted Child. You WERE of the world, now you are not. You died to Sin, for the end result of all Sin is death. In...

1 Corinthians 6:
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,(Homosexuals)

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
So when you receive the Spirit of Adoption, you die. You literally die. You "have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him." You become a new creature. A Child of God. If you have not yet said the Prayer of Salvation, say it now. In your own words if you chose. But Pray this Prayer.

"Oh heavenly Father, Lord God. I am a sinner. I know this. I know there is nothing I can do to change that. But I know you can. I accept Jesus's sacrifice for me. I repent my sins. Please send the Spirit of Adoption into my life. Help me to get to know the real you. Save me. Please. In the name of Jesus, Amen!"

That really is it. It really is that simple. Now you need to find a Church that God leads you to, and be Baptized the way Jesus said to be. But fear not, if you were to leave the Earth today, you are Saved. So now you are a new person. A Child of God. In the family of God. Back to Colossians.
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Stop! There is neither Jew nor Greek. Religion does not matter. What matters is your personal one on one relationship with God Himself. It is not now, nor has it ever been, about man-made traditions called Religion. We are all one in Christ. Continue.....
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Think about this. You can have total peace. As a child of God, as it declares in Romans 8 "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Nothing. There is NOTHING that can separate you from the love of God. He is also telling you here that you are a Sower of the Seed. Back to Colossians 3
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
We will talk about you being a Sower of the Seed next time. But God also tells us how we should treat one another in Family..
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
In the work place?
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
In life?
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
So you see, once again, God's plan is simple. Do the right thing, be blessed. Do the wrong thing, be cursed. It really is not difficult to understand.

So why would Satan create Racism? Divide and conquer. Remember, God said that when we are of one accord, we can accomplish anything. Satan knows, if we all came together, we could do some serious damage to his plans. To his agenda. Remember, the devil does not have to tempt you into condemning yourselves, you are condemned already, if you have not accepted the gift that IS Jesus's sacrifice. He has to do NOTHING. All the devil has to do to keep you his, is to keep you from hearing and accepting the Truth. That's all he has to do.

So if we are too busy, fighting each other, especially Churches, mostly over man-made traditions to begin with, we are then too busy to worry about leading more away from him. If we are too busy fighting each other, others watching this, will be discouraged from learning more about the Truth. When you have many different, all saying that their version of truth is the only true way, then it causes confusion and disbelief from those observing, not knowing the Truth themselves.

We have indeed come a long way in this country, and in the world. Yet, there are still those that love to Race Bait, and use Racism for personal gain. We must do away with all these things. Accept all for who they are and not what they are. Judge people by the content of their character, and not the color of their skin, their sex, their religion. For if we are to impart to them the Truth according to God, sometimes it is more important to show them, then to simply tell them. Let your life be the shining example of what it means to be a Child of God. An Heir to the Kingdom. Do in deeds, what you would tell them in words.

The reason for Racism is simple. The answer to it is as well. Together, we can over come anything. Together we can accomplish anything. Together, united we stand. Divided, we fall. And yes, it IS just that simple.

Until next time, be blessed, and Jesus IS Lord!
