Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

How can I be a real man who reflects the true image of the creator? There are many theories today about the origin of humanity, however I believe these theories reign in confusion rather than create certainty in the minds of those adhering to these theories. Firstly, the fact that we are here on the planet living and breathing is a fact. We only have the capacity to be sure about a fraction of our antecedents. If the records conveyed to us are skewed, then we will be totally lost. One of the most debilitating things about the trans-Atlantic slave trade was the total ‘air-brushing’ out of the contribution to pre-modern and modern history by the descendants from Africa.  The demasculation of the African male has lead to the disease of fatherlessness perpetuating from generation to generation for the past 400 years or so. This year is significant for several reasons.

1. Those from the African Diaspora have the opportunity to model real fatherhood to those potential fathers who are coming behind us.
2. We can reverse and even circumvent the Willie Lynch methodology by working together and supporting each other.
3. We can be real men of God by displaying and reflecting his characteristics.

To do this though, we all need deliverance. This deliverance comes about by each individual receiving healing into those areas that have lain dormant for generations.   This is where the precious Holy Spirit alone operates.  It is he who will reveal to us the areas that needs healing. Indeed my colleague reported to me that whilst she was receiving prayer ministry against the ravages of slavery that she felt an intense heat on her back and the Holy Spirit whispered to her ‘branding’. This was the trauma that her fore-parents were subject to which has never been broached. As we are being delivered and healed we can become the visionaries that will transform nations and bring about the salvation of millions. Read Psalm 119:130 and Matthew 6:9-15.
