Homosexuality An Abomination

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. II Chronicles 7:146

We were sitting in a Sunday school class in a small church on the western side of Mobile. It is a location in town that was well documented as a place where the Klu Klux Klan leadership lived and a young black teacher was teaching on being fearfully and wonderfully made. Who ever thought that a young black man would come to Montgomery, Alabama and change the whole face of America. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. took a church that is located in front of the old Confederate Capital building. As he took his place in the church, he was just a pastor without any type of agenda but his mark on this state and this country would be heard around the world. Probably the greatest lack in the church today is leadership, but as we all know leadership is birthed from hardship and the best leaders rise to the top in the times of great crisis. Dr. King had no agenda until Rosa Parks decided to ride in the front of the bus. When Rosa Parks was put in jail a new sound was heard. It was the sound of freedom; it was the sound of a silent non-violent war that would end in a birth of freedom.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. organized the poor black churches in Montgomery, Alabama and made them stand as one. Racism is a horrible thing but if God had a leader that understood anything about it, it would be King. King had studied in Boston for his Doctor’s of Theology and the man he studied laid out the entire struggle as a framework and a track to run on. King’s dissertation for his doctorate was about a man who won the freedom of an entire nation through a godly principle, non-violence. Mahatma Gandhi was his subject. As a young barrister in Durban, South Africa, Gandhi began to read the bible and began to have a desire to become a believer in Jesus Christ. Gandhi reverenced Jesus's work and noticed three things about the work of this Messiah. His ministry began with fasting and prayer. The non-violent means that he worked within caused him to establish the faith of Christianity. Gandhi would go on to be the Liberator of India but it would not be as a Christian. During the time of his interest in Christianity he decided to go to church at a Dutch Reform Church in Durban, South Africa. He was refused entrance at the door because of the color of his skin. Gandhi the Liberator of India could find no Christianity at the front door of that church, nor could he find it anywhere else in the white churches of South Africa. There was much more than one man standing at the door of that Dutch Reform Church that Sunday, millions of souls from India were standing at that door. Gandhi could have been the peaceful element to change India into a Christian Society but instead he remained a Hindu until his death. This man of peace died a violent death

Prophets Die In Jerusalem

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. began to put into practice what he had studied. He was more than a leader among the poor leadership in the Montgomery church community; he was a prophet unto this nation. He never looked for leadership but his ability to organize and teach the principles of freedom came directly from a former man who was seeking to see Christianity in the South African churches. The south never got over the Civil War and they never got over the Civil Rights movement. Still today God lays down a mandate for change in the churches of the South and this nation. Racism is alive and well in this Christian country called the United States of America. The 11 o’clock hour is still the most segregated hour in all of the United States. In Peter, Paul and Mary's song it asked the question, "How many times will it take for a man to know that he is a man? The answer my friend is blowing in the wind, and the answer is blowing in the wind." If you seek revival and the greater works of God then open a door and change the segregated hours of worship in this country and you will see the dove of the Holy Spirit burn through this country in complete revival. Prophets write visions and we all know what happens to a prophet when they go to Jerusalem, they die. Gandhi died for what he believed in, King followed the same path and was killed even President Abraham Lincoln died for what he believed in. The sins of nation always require the blood of the martyrs sacrifice. Sometimes when you help another man's dream to come through then your dreams will begin to come through. The manifestation of a dream comes through prayer, fasting and struggle but if it opens the door of pure revival, then lets open that door. We pray for revival and our country to change -- whatever it takes Lord Jesus. Dear Lord Jesus put your hand on our President today and guide him, bless his family and his children.
