REPARATIONS
ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE ORDER OF THE DAY
A question from the Lord, December 2, 2004
[The Lord interrupted me on December 2nd, while I was
at the Department of Motor Vehicles in San Francisco, just looking at the lines
of people of all races and income groups. And,
because San Francisco is the gateway to the Orient, there were quite a few new
Oriental immigrants coming in for their ID cards, as well as numerous Hispanics
from Mexico also getting their ID cards: plus
the normally expected groups of white, black and other racial group
Californians.]
The
Lord: “And you think you’re
going to get that crowd to pay reparations?
My Answer:
No, Lord, You are, in Jesus name!
[Rather flippantly]
A prophetic utterance from the Lord, December 4, 2004
Question: Father, I gave
you a flippant answer when you said, “And you think you’re gong to get
this crowd to pay reparations?” Well,
I apologize and ask your forgiveness, in Jesus name.
And,
yes, John Q. Public will not readily, if ever, agree to pay Black people for the
sufferings of slavery. Who will
pay?
Answer: “None but the righteous
shall be saved, healed or delivered from sins of the past, including the sons of
slavery, or sons of the slave masters. Nowhere
have I said in my Word that reparations are the order of the day as retribution
for slavery. What I have said, however, is that I have heard the cries of
the hire* [unpaid wages] of the laborers who reaped down the fields of this
Nation, and have also heard the cries of the laborers, who have reaped these
fields, and all the brutish suffering that accompanied this period of national
shame, saith the Lord [*James
5:4].
So,
yes, there is a bill to pay, but not in the terms necessarily that reparations
are usually put, saith the Lord. How
would I have this payment maid and this bill paid, saith the Lord?
What
would glorify me, saith the Lord of Sabaoth [James
5:4; lit., The Lord of Hosts or Lord of Armies]?
