  For the last several days, I have been so engulfed with making short videos per verse in the Minor prophets that I did not feel it necessary to put in words my comments. But tonight, I want to share my summarize what I have learned from Jonah to Zephaniah.  I have discovered so much about God and myself; I left screaming who can I tell? God has put in His Word all the counseling I need or ever wished I knew existed.  He left everything I ever needed to know in His Word.   Once I was stuck on a few familiar scriptures that were good for me, but I had no idea God knew so much about my decisions on an everyday basis.  I never knew it mattered to Him to tell me everything about my life or words to share with others when they need to make the right choices.  God's Word is personal.  I have learned so much since the book of Daniel through the minor prophets; it amazes me in and out.  God knows everything about everything.  He has feelings, and He has no problem making them known.  It i

Nahum 1 Nahum sends a message to the enemy God used to bring His people to correction.  However, God will not hold the enemy guiltless.  How can God use and judge people at the same time?  If your heart is evil, God will use your evil heart to show people what it is like to be under someone other than Him, who is absolute love.  We will have to submit to somebody, and if we don't want the leadership of God, then we must be submitted to someone, and that someone is the enemy. He allows the enemy to rule over our lives.  His plan is always to save everybody, but if we choose not to listen to Him, all who are not under His control will die. Although the enemy is the Assyrians in this chapter, I have chosen the spirit of the Assyrians to show how relevant our behavior connects to the wrath of God.  Just like Israel, who disobeyed God and had to go into a 70-year exile, we too will be judged by God.   What is Assyrian behavior?  Assyrian behavior lifts up his own way of ruling and livin

Micah 2 If the United States had met Micah during the years of segregation, we might have had a fear of God to have a conscience about how blacks were treated by whites.  This is a very sensitive subject to many of our churches, perhaps because we want to forgive and forget the past.  Well, if that would help us to move forward, we would have to erase the prophecy of Micah chapter 2.   We are instructed by God to study to learn the behavior of Israel so we can get a clear picture of what will happen to us if we, too, refuse to change.  Israel murdered and slaughtered people who did not give them what they wanted or did what they said.  They actually pulled the skin from the backs of people.  All of this was done using God's name to support their evil doing.   All leaders must know the Word of God to see how God concluded this behavior throughout eternity.  I listen to some of the best white teachers of the Word, and they barely touch the message of the United States' behavior c
