The Antidote for Racism, Prejudice, Hate, Ethnic Nationalism, and Supremacy

There is no form of racism, prejudice, hate, ethnic nationalism, or supremacy that is justified. None. In fact, God detests such things. Simply put, racism and hatred are sin. The devil's big lie here is that our different demographics separate us and somehow make us more or less human, when the spiritual, scientific, and biological fact is that we are one blood; one human race (Acts 17:26). The Scriptures are not devoid of this topic. When God gave the Israelites the law, He made very clear that they were not above foreigners living and worshiping among them and were to treat them well (Ex 22:21; 23:9, Lev 19:33-34, Deut 10:19). When the Israelites became ethnocentric, God rebuked them through the prophets (Jer 7:5-8). When Jesus died on the cross and rose to life again, it was for all nations, tribes, and tongues (Matt 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, Rev 7:9).

Not to mention-- recall Jesus' answer as to the question of the greatest commandment. It was to love the Lord God and your neighbor as yourself (Matt 22:36-40). Racism, prejudice, and hatred are not loving your neighbor as yourself. No, racism , prejudice, and hatred are sin and the wages of sin is death. These things lead to death. These things slowly steal from, kill, and destroy those who let it fester in their hearts and minds. Racism and hatred are symptoms of the dying and hell- bound individual, culture, or nation. Do you want that for yourself, your community , and your nation? Surely not. Martin Luther King understood this effect. MLK said: "We must learn to live together as brothers [and sisters], or perish together as fools. I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear". He knew hate would destroy both ourselves and our loved ones, and those we were at odds with-- and the blood would be on our own hands.

"Love  never fails" (1 Cor. 13:8). There is no effective and lasting secular, humanistic answer to the hatred and animousity, let alone violence, caused by racial and ethnic differences. The answer is love from the true source of love: God. For God is love (1 Jn 4:8). We must call on God to change, above all, our own hearts and minds; then, we can call on Him for
others around us and our community. He will answer every time and come dwell in our heart to the extent that we yeild to Him. As we we yeild to God, He transforms our hearts and minds and we begin to act, think, and speak differently.  We begin to act, think, and speak like Jesus. The exact same Holy Spirit that Jesus had when He walked the earth will then imbue us with the exact same love,  light, and life-giving virtue of God that Jesus displayed.

Today many popular thoughts, actions and words are completely counterproductive. For instance, we cannot expect to solve problems by running from others (white flight, Middle East fear), talking about others when they're not around ("Those black people across town..."), bitterness and anger (BLM, black supremacy: a.k.a. reverse- racism), or violence.

Instead, we solve     difficulies by building bridges of love and understanding, believing in one another-- for God made all men-- and helping one another realize the greatness that God placed in each of us. This is only achieved by the virtue and power of God. We must see each other through God's eyes and not through our own eyes. That brings us back to the necessity that we each must call on the Lord God in Jesus' name for His Spirit to come transform us. When we do this, we enter into and walk in the Kingdom of God. There is no racial or ethnic division in the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is the only way to achieve true and lasting harmony and unity.

The events in recent years have shown the need for people to yeild to God and be transformed. We need true revival and awakening and it begins with caling on and yeiiding to the Lord God in Jesus' name-- even if you've done it before, it will only benefit you to do it again-- to be truly and increasingly transformed by the Holy Spirit. Then and only then will we see true and lasting racial and ethnic unity!

Every Morning and All Day

Pray it; proclaim it; decree it; declare it-- every morning and all dady!

Jesus is Lord, Jesus is my Lord, Jesus is Lord over my family, Jesus is Lord over my finances, Jesus is Lord over my health, Jesus is Lord over my city, Jesus is Lord over my nation, Jesus is Lord over all the earth.

I go into all the world, I preach the gospel to every creature, I make disciples, I cast out devils, I lay hands on the sick and they do recover, I speak with new tongue, and if I drink any deadly thing it does not hurt me, because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I treat others the way I want to be treated.

I go to the sick and minister to them because if I were sick I’d want someone to come to me.

I do go to the lost and witness to them, because when I was lost someone witnessed to me.

I have received an anointing that abides. It doesn’t lift, it doesn’t wane, it abides. It walks in me and talks in me therefore I am anointed at all times. The anointed One lives in me therefore I am always anointed. His anointing is my anointing. His strength is my strength. I am filled with all the fullness of God. I believe on Jesus Christ. He is my Lord, He is my master. I’ve given Him my life and my heart. I purposefully renew my mind to the word of God. I am filled with His knowledge in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. In Him is hid all the wisdom of the ages and in Him I abide and dwell. I dwell in Him and He in me. I am baptized in the Holy Spirit, completely to over flowing, immersed, influenced, controlled and in the name of Jesus the Holy Spirit leads and guides me, into all truth. The light of the world is in me and I am the light of the world. My light will shine and by my light I will glorify God.

My works glorify God. My words glorify God, my thoughts glorify God. I bring every thought into captivity, and I cast down every thought contrary to the word and knowledge of God.

I am healed by His stripes. I walk in divine health and I bring divine healing to others. I preach the gospel; I proclaim liberty to the captives and set them free, I don’t judge, I don’t qualify people. I set them free so that the goodness of God can draw them to repentance. God gives me wisdom to win any person I speak with.

I walk in the power of Jesus Christ; I walk in the power that God has poured through Him. The authority I walk in is Jesus’ authority, it’s not mine, it’s not based on my works, it’s not based on my name. It’s based on the name of Jesus. I walk in power, I walk in authority, and I walk in the very ability of God Himself. I am filled with all the fullness of God because I have the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost abiding in me, dwelling in me, they don’t come and go, they dwell. And I dwell in them.

I love all men. I love God with all my heart, all my soul and all my strength. I love men as I love myself and I treat others the way I want to be treated. Therefore I walk in the way of life. I do not walk in the way of death. My plans are of God because I acknowledge Him in all my ways. I don’t lean to my own understanding; I do not lean to my own strength, but I am strengthened by Christ. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I give freely to any person not judging, deciding, or picking or choosing who deserves it and who does not. Instead I look at all men through the eyes of Christ. I see mankind the way God sees them, through eyes of love, eyes of grace, mercy, and long suffering. I take my time to help people. I go out of my way to help people. I am absolute over all demonic evil forces, beings, principalities, powers, and any Spiritual wickedness in heavenly places.

I do what is right, I have the whole armor of God, I am saved. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. His blood makes me free. His blood makes me righteous. His sacrifice made me acceptable, and I am accepted in the beloved. He is my God and I am His child. I’m not carnal, I’m Spiritual. I do not take offense, I refuse to take offense. I refuse to give unnecessary offense. But I will not compromise the Gospel or the truth of the Word of God.

By the Spirit of God I am healed, I am delivered, I am free, my mind is guarded. I take heed to what I hear, to who I listen to. I take heed to separate myself from the wicked. I do not sit in the seat of the scornful. I walk in the company of the wise. My words will be the words of God. My words are Spirit and they are life, they bring life, they provide life. I will speak that which is true and I will speak the truth in love. I’ve purposed myself to become love personified. I lay down my life for others, so in the Name of Jesus, I am forgiven, I have confessed any sin and I am cleansed by the blood of Jesus, made whole. I now am righteous by the blood of Jesus. His mind, His thoughts, His objectives and His plans are mine. I’ve laid down my life and taken up His. I take up my cross every day, every day I take up my cross and I recognize that every day I count myself as dead and I die to the things of the world and I die to the things of the flesh but I am alive to God. I’m dead to sin. Sin is not my friend it is my enemy. Sin is death, it is bondage, and it is not my master and I am not its servant, but I am God’s son, I am man’s servant, and I am the devil’s master. For it is no longer I that live, but Christ who lives through me and the life that I now live I live by the faith in the Son of God, who lived and died and gave Himself for me. I bless those that curse me, I bless those that despitefully use me.

He is the head, I am His body. He gives me the thoughts, He provides all power and I provide the action. I pray and receive. And He is glorified through my receiving, and by my receiving my joy is made full, because I know that He hears me, and I know that if He hears me then I have what I ask in the name of Jesus. Everything that I ask for I receive. I have it in the Spirit and I shall have it in the physical. My prayers are answered because Jesus paid the price. My words come to pass, so right now from this day forth I will not say words, either the words themselves or the manner in which they’re spoken in any way that will hurt, harm, or bring discomfort to anyone unnecessarily. I will speak the truth in love, I will bring peace, my heart is pure, my mind is renewed, my thoughts are pure. I think on things that are above, I think on things that are pure and of good report. Things that bring joy to God and peace to my spirit.

God’s power is available to me, to be used when I deem fit. To be used by me according to the will of God, which is for things to be done on earth as they are in heaven. His will is my will, I choose His will, I choose His way above my way. It is not my will, but His will that I will do. And I will seek to make sure that in every way my will comes into alignment with His will because His spirit, His words, His power fills me, dwells in me, every day, all day. I take the opportunity to choose to turn situations into glory to God that the devil meant for bad. I refuse to be defeated; I refuse to allow the enemy to dictate my actions, my thoughts, my words, my reactions. I speak His words, I study His words, and His word will abide in me richly causing every situation to turn to the glory of God.

I walk by faith and not by sight. I choose to believe the word of God over what my eyes show me. I choose to believe the report of God over the report of man. God’s word is the final authority in my life. If He said it, I believe it. It is settled. I walk by it and I will not allow deception, I will not allow any thoughts contrary to the word of God. I pull down strong holds of wrong doctrine; wrong teaching that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. I will pull them down and bring them to captivity and I let free the words of God. I let them free through my mouth; I let free through my mind. I think the thoughts of God, thoughts of good will toward all men.

I am a new creature in Christ, old things are passed away, all things have become new and the “all things” are of God.

I am free and I set others free. I’m healed and I heal others. I am delivered and I deliver others. The spirit of the living God, His nature, His character, His attributes, are demonstrated through me in every way in every opportunity, I will turn every situation into the glory of God. Nothing can separate me from God and therefore I will not separate myself.

I will not divide what God has joined. We are one, as He is one. I am one with Christ, we are one with God. He’s the head and we are the body, we are the church and it is the church’s responsibility to meet the needs of the world, every need regardless of what it is. And our bank account is heavens bank account. Whatever the world could need God has provided. I will expect and trust God to bring it through me.

I expect to do the same works of Jesus. I expect to do greater works because He went to the Father. The truth of the word of God is alive in me. His life is in me, His life flows through me to others, His life brings freedom through me and I distribute it freely to everyone that has need. Young or old, black or white, male or female, there is no distinction. I bring freedom everywhere I go in the name of Jesus. The enemy cannot stop me, I resist him because I have submitted myself unto God and because I’ve humbled myself God will exalt me. I will look to no man to exalt me, I look to God. I lay my life down and God has taken my life and turned into something good, something He can use to bring freedom to people I bring glory to God, by bringing freedom to man. In the name of Jesus, what I have spoken is true. It is true now and it will remain true. I say it and therefore I stand by it. I have spoken the truth of the word of God, things that are already seen I give God glory for, things that are not yet seen I give God glory for and those things that need to be brought forth into my life I call into being, I call those things which be not as though they were because I speak by faith and faith brings it to pass and as I exert faith I bring glory to God, I take the shield of faith and quench every fiery dart by my faith in Christ Jesus, He said nothing shall by any means shall harm me, I believe Him. I’m bold as a lion, I speak freely, I speak openly, and I display the kingdom of God. In every way in Jesus name. Amen
