In pursuing our study of woman's appointed place in the divine economy of creation, we turn to the brief account of her first introduction to the earth and to man; for the Apostle says, "the woman was created for the man." (1 Cor. 11:9.) As the account indicates, the object of woman's creation was that she might be a suitable help for man.That man needed just such a help is indicated, not only by the Lord's statement that it was "not good" for him to be "alone," but also by the statement that among all the animals there was none found to be "a suitable help." True, they were all in perfect subjection to him as their lord and master, and perfectly obedient in rendering all the service required. Many of them were strong to bear his burdens, some fleet to run his errands; some gratified his love of the beautiful in form and proportions, and some in plumage; some charmed his ear with strains of music; and all manifested more or less of intelligence and affection; yet in all there was a lack. The perfect man did not crave a burden-bearer, nor an errand-runner, nor a gay butterfly to please the sight, nor a charming musician: what he craved was an intelligent sympathetic companion; and this lack, the "suitable help," which God subsequently provided, exactly supplied. When God had created her and brought her to the man, Adam named her woman. That the word was not used to specially indicate the power of motherhood, is manifest from the fact that when God said that she should become a mother, Adam changed her name to Eve, because she was to be the mother of all living. (Gen. 3:20.) We also read (Gen. 5:2) that "God called their name Adam in the day when they were created." Thus both God and the man recognized this new creature as of the same nature as the man, and yet differing from him both physically and intellectually. She was not another man, but another human being, the counterpart of the man, and therefore a suitable helper for him.

The "Great White Throne" will not be on the earth, for the "Great White Throne Judgment" will take the Interval Between the Fourth and Fifth Dooms: Seventh Doom. The Wicked Dead. The ''Great White Throne Judgment'' place during the "Renovation of the Earth By Fire," for the "Renovation of the Earth" is reserved or kept until the time of that Judgment, which Peter calls "The Day of Judgment and Perdition of Ungodly Men" (2. Pet. 3:7), because the Judgment of the "Great White Throne" is the Judgment of the WICKED DEAD. All the Righteous dead arose at the "First Resurrection." If any Righteous die between the "First Resurrection" and the "Resurrection of the Wicked," or "Second Resurrection," they will rise with the wicked dead at that Resurrection. The words--"Whosoever was not found written in the 'Book of Life'," implies that there will be some, probably very few in comparison, Righteous at the "Second Resurrection." At the close of the Millennium, and just before the "Renovation of the Earth By Fire," the living Righteous will probably be translated, and the living Wicked or Ungodly will be destroyed in the flames that will consume the Earth's atmosphere and exterior surface. The Wicked or Ungodly will not be judged to see whether they are entitled to "Eternal Life," but to ascertain the "degree" of their punishment. The sad feature of this Judgment will be that there will be many kind and lovable people there who were not saved, and who will be classed among the "ungodly" because they rejected Christ as a Savior. The "Books" will be opened in which the "Recording Angel" has kept a record of every person's life, and they will be Judged every man according to his "Works." Some will be sentenced to a more severe punishment than others, but none will escape. The worst of all is, that those who were not so bad must spend Eternity with the ungodly, and that in the "Lake of Fire."

The question behind men & women's relationships is a structural one that precedes today's societies.The argument about the structural identity of male & female is not a legal argument about how people should be treated within the bonds of the relationship but the structure. Rather, men & women tend to make it about whether heterosexual or homosexual relationships should be identified as having the structure of a marriage, and only after that can civil rights considerations emerge about how citizens should be treated fairly with respect to a relationship or marriage. Those who want homosexual relationships to be redefined as marriages say that many aspects of their relationships are like marriage-having sexual play, living together, loving one another, etc.-and therefore they should be allowed to call their relationships marriages and should be recognized in the law as marriage partners. But this cannot be a proper legal matter until the case has been made that a homosexual partnership and a marriage are indistinguishable. Otherwise, the appeal amounts to nothing more than a request that homosexual partners be allowed to call themselves what they want to call themselves regardless of the differences that exist in reality under the naturalization act. The answer they want is for the law to make and adjudicating authorities to change the law based on the principle that reality is defined by the will and declarations of the individuals, not as it is thru all of whom should be treated without discrimination. But here, in the relationship between a natural man & woman you see that the greater appeal constantly being made not an appeal for judges and lawmakers to reconsider past experimental judgments about similarities between heterosexual and homosexual relationships, but simply for the creation of man and woman in the "Creation of Love" relationship to learn how to learn to exist on the only physical planet in the seven layer universe called earth.

Beginning in the 1960s a Task Force on Financial Integrity and Economic Development of Governments and NGOs, has focused on achieving greater transparency in the global financial system for the benefit of developing countries. A Global Financial Integrity, think tank based in Washington, DC and one of many leaders of the Task Force, estimated that the amount of money that's been draining illicitly out of developing countries into western colonial economies is approximately $900 billion to $1.5 trillion a year. Those cross-border funds were generated as the proceeds of a bribery and theft by government officials (til this day about 3 to 10 percent of the global total market), criminal activity such as drug trades, trafficking, racketeering and commercial tax evasion accomplished primarily through the mispricing of exports and imports is by far the largest component at about 60 to 65 percent of the global total market. Almost all of these shifts constitute a permanent outward transfers. Only a fraction of them return to the countries of origin, even then only as direct investment. This massive transfer of wealth out of the poorer nations over the decades of time has been the most damaging economic condition undermining today's high level of poverty and sustainable growth efforts in these 2nd & 3rd world countries, which are home to 80 percent of the world's population. The enormous transfer of financial resources have been facilitated for decades by a shadow financial system that has expanded globally since the beginning of the 1960s. This system was created originally to move flight capital and tax evading money across borders and has since come to be used by criminals and terrorist financiers as well. And this same shadow financial system is now at the heart of today's global financial crisis. It shields from view the accurate appraisal the depths of the global problem with subprime mortgages and other collateralized debt obligations, credit default swaps, derivatives contracts, and more.

A Man is not bound to win, but A Man is bound to be true. A Man is not bound to succeed, but A Man is bound to live by the light that he have. A Man must stand with anybody that stands right, A Man must stand with Man while he is right, and Man must part with that Man when he goes wrong. Perhaps love for your fellow Man is the process of leading A Man gently back to the image in which A Man is bound to..."THE IMAGE OF GOD".

As an historical foot note, some historians feel the Germans got their plan for their "final solution" to the Jewish problem from America's treatment of Blacks between 1914 and 1935. The newspaper accounts of the East St. Louis Massacre and other lynching's and white race riots were widely circulated in the French, English and German press. Nazi Germans realized that if the entire dominant community is against a minority or unpopular members of that community, after sufficient vilification of the minority or unpopular group, the dominant group can do what they want no matter how horrible the punishment. It will mirror public opinion and thereby be justified. The Nazi cause was also the same as White Supremacy in the United States. The 65 Congress left the circumstances evolving around this event for future generations to discuss. That generation is ours. The East St. Louis Massacre of 1917 is exhibit. A" evidence for reparations for past atrocities against Black Americans. Not as former slaves, but as human beings and free citizens of the United States. "It is the ultimate end of unchecked American Racism. From 1999 to 2009, among those aged 15 to 34 years, there were 106,271 homicides, 85% (89,887) among men and 49% (52,265) among black men. One major and hotly debated issue is firearms. Specifically, 81% (85,643) of all homicides were due to firearms, including 91% (47,513) among black men. Homicide is, far and away, the leading cause of death of young black men. In stark contrast, accidents are, far and away, the leading cause of death among young nonblack men and women of all races and ethnicities. Black men are 6 times more likely to die as the result of and 7 times more likely to commit murder than their white counterparts. One eighth of the population is black, but one half of all homicide victims are black. Their reduced life expectancy of more than 6 years would be improved more from eliminating homicide than abolishing any other causes of death except cardiovascular disease or cancer. The rate at which Blacks killed Blacks in 1994 was 876 times greater, and the rate at which they killed Whites was 164 times greater, than the rate at which Whites killed Blacks. Whites were twice as likely to be killed by Blacks as by Hispanics. Blacks were twice as likely as Hispanics and 71 times as likely as Whites to kill members of their own race. One quarter of the nation's homicides were committed by the 0.7% of the population who were Black men between the ages of 18-24. If there were no Blacks or Hispanics in the US at all, our homicide rate might be as low as North Dakota, or 0.2 per 100,000 populations, which is 1/49th of its all time high of 9.8 in 1991.

The family is the most powerful entity in a man's life. The family is a man's life, which carries him through a life of death and destruction that goes on in the world today and beyond. The greatest component that a man can have to overcome all obstacles in life's muck and mire. The greatest way a man can love his children is to love the children's mother, if you are with her or not. It is GODS primary plan and purpose on earth that the family be successful in staying intact which ultimately represents "The Kingdom of GOD." There is no other survival tactic on earth that is greater than the survival of the family. The greatest attack mechanism that devil has is the attack of the family. If devil can take away the Head/or Foundation/Man/Husband from the home then the demise of the family structure and foundation begins to possible total destruction of the family order GOD intended it to be. Whoever controls the mind controls the body, if devil can remove the man as head/foundation of the family from the house hold, just like the Garden of Eden he can then have dominion over the home as man is to have dominion over the earth. It is vitally important that the man know his responsibilities over the home of the family and not denounce those responsibilities nor hand them over to the Helpmeet/Woman/Wife to carry on with. It is not GODS purpose or plan that the women head the family. MEN you must stand firm out front as the Priest of the home and not allow other spirits and principalities to remove you or regulate your family. Your life depends on it that you know the ways and means of GODS purpose and plan of how the family is to operate in accords to "The Kingdom Culture Community."May GOD always rule in your life through His Son Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Time changes all things" is a saying so old and so true as to admit of no argument. It is exemplified in so many different ways as to require no comment, and yet when we hear the phrase used thoughtlessly, every day, it is but natural to wonder if the one who uses it realizes what he is saying, or rather, if he knows what those few common place words mean, when used to form that sentence. It is a foregone conclusion that he does not. He never stopped long enough to examine even a little of the abundance of indisputable proof that the saying "Time changes all things" applies to things and conditions, seldom if ever present, to this narrow mind, and far away and beyond even this low prejudiced influence. When we hear or read the sayings of some of our "misnamed" great men, in reality, we are fully justified in making the charge of falsifying and concealing such facts as they are not really ignorant of. One of these conspicuous public characters delights in making the assertion that the Hamite Ethiopian or Negro never amounted to anything, or possessed anything, never occupied an eminence, save to which the Semitic or Anglo-Saxon had dragged or driven him up to. If ignorance alone was responsible for this glaring falsehood, a great deal of sympathy would go out to those who make the statement as well as those who believe it to be true because of ignorance. Much of the wisdom is self praise for successfully concealing, or at least surrounding historical facts with such theory as to place the descendants of Shem upon an eminence which is justly his according to the blessings of Noah and makes him appear much larger than what he really is. Some knowledge of the origin of mankind exists, and it is this knowledge that causes the falsifying of much as possible the true historical records, especially of the black man. It cannot be said that the learned historical writers, the great Divines, Theological students and lecturers of today lack in knowledge of the history of Ham, the son of Noah, and his descendants, such as Nimrod, the founder of the great ancient city of Babylon, and also Menes the first King of Egypt and the founder of the great ancient city of Memphis. Ridpath says that the traditions of antiquity points to Memphis and Babylon as the fountains of human wisdom. If those above-named are ignorant of the history of the last-named, they are doing the world a great injustice in assuming the position of teacher and leader. If they are familiar with the history of the races and the deeds of men, they will no doubt have for them and their kind good and sufficient reasons for making false and misleading statements as to some historical records, and totally forgetting others. An early Queen of Egypt was a descendant of the Ethiopian or Moor race. This is conceded by some of the modern writers; some of them going so far as to say that her skin was very black, and a few of them acknowledge that it was this black queen who placed the first fleet of war ships on the river Nile. They have no doubt traced this woman back to where they are satisfied that she was descended in a direct lineal line from Zipporah, the black and Ethiopian wife of Moses. We read very little of these two women, because modern writers seek to obscure them, and Many of your Pastor, Preacher, Teachers never preach or lecture on that part of the Bible in which they are mentioned. Simply because if they do, they must give credit to black race. In this Biblical history it could begin even with Hannibal, the Carthagenian General, and record the accomplishments of black men without the intervening of any long periods of time, down to the time of Alexander Dumas, Toussant L'Overture, and Alexander Sergievitch Pouskin, Russo-African poet. The borders of this Republic and beginning with Crispus Octikus, or Alexander Hamilton-record the accomplishments of these same black descendants of Ham, down to this day.

"Fighting The Wrong Fight"The United States of America was founded as a "Corporation Entity", not a nation for social and domestic principles. Everything about this nation was purposed for business transaction only, this is why you will never get what you wish for from this government. based on social and domestic desires.1.) The 13% Black community fight for social and domestic opportunity(need services).2.) The 72% White community fight for social and domestic equality(want more better services).3.) The 15% Latino and immigrant community fight for citizenship(want legal rights to services).But there is two groups of people that are not fighting so much and that is the "Jewish Community" and the "Asian Community". Why?...simply because they are economically sound(financially stabled)thru powerful business dealings over the history of time. These two communities always knew the what...the why and how things really worked in these here United States of America. The principle knowledge, understanding and wisdom was and is the corporate entity called the United States of America. When President Barack Obama took office he literally shut down this countries founding principle and redirected this nation into a social and domestic nation(all about the peoples welfare). But all the white male presidents before him knew the core principles were of corporate interest. Hillary Clinton was and is a part of this culture as well but she was not welcome in the core aspect of this corporate entity(white male rule or good ol boy network). Bernie Sanders is of the Jewish community but the elite Jewish high arch was not ready for Bernie because he too is of the social and domestic cloth.So the direct choice was Donald Trump, one who would rebuild the founding principle of this nation.....Making America Corporate Again...this is the meaning of making this nation great again. Many who voted for Donald Trump felt left out or simply did not like the "Clinton's" ....SIMPLE!!!!! The Corporate Entity was harden to return back to position, President Obama gave to many voices to....to many social and domestic principles. This is not welcome amongst the corporate entity of these here United States of America. President John F Kennedy laid out the principle when he stated...Ask not what your country can do for you....but ask what you can do for your "COUNTRY". He was speaking to the terms of the "Corporate Entity" principles this nation was founded on. So how do you survive a "Trump" presidency....you cannot with your hand out(give me.....give me.....give me). You must establish yourself as to what this nation's principles are based on a corporate entity "A Hand In". Social and domestic minds beg and plead....give me....give me but the corporate mind..."Buy and Sell". So the question is., "What are you buying?" and "What are you selling?".....SIMPLE.If you can't answer this question then you will suffer greatly, if you can answer this question than you have access to a vast level of wealth you never even dreamed of. GOD told Adam he was free to eat from any tree in the "Garden" except the tree of good and evil. That meant Adam was not given ownership of GODS great earth he was given access to GODS great wealth. This is called "Common Wealth", (common wealth means access) we keep thinking we are to have ownership.....No Ownership....Just Access People. So...to have access on earth means......."What Are You Buying" or "What Are You Selling". It's not about Social and Domestic Principles people wish to make it about. Like the "Jewish Community" and the "Asian Community"....it's about "ECONOMICS"!!!!!!!!

INSPIRING, ENCOURAGING, AND ENLIGHTENING!I AM Right Here is a fundamental reinforcer of the Nearness of the Almighty in every situation and detail of our lives. Additionally, it provides theological insight regarding our eternal estate and relationship with God. Sometimes we often think of His presence in highly intense moments of fellowship, such as singing worship songs, praying fervently, or even in Sunday church gatherings. However, God wants us to know that He is always present. We don't have to wait for those powerful, celebratory moments to feel His closeness. He is always there. Although we cannot tangibly see Him, He shows up through various situations to let us know He is watching and listening. Have you ever experienced a calmness or peace in your heart when thinking about God? It's difficult to explain because it goes beyond a feeling. It's a knowing or confidence that everything is going to be okay. Whenever we call on Him, we don't have to wonder if He's available; He doesn't leave or take breaks. Furthermore, when it comes to God, there's no guesswork involved because He remains the same and stands by His Word. He is present with you every moment because He is your heavenly Father!

What's your story? Do you consider your well-being and need for self-care? Do you prioritize yourself, or are you last on your list of importance? Sometimes we neglect to see our value and worth due to several factors and conditions. Do you know that you are significant to God? How about seeing yourself through His eyes? Just You! Focusing on Your Value and Worth to God provides inspiring and exceptional insight for those seeking personal growth.

The title "Ancient of Days" first appears in Daniel 7:9, where Daniel is describing his vision of heaven. There an ancient, or venerable, Person sits on a flaming throne with wheels of fire, His hair and clothing white as snow. The flaming throne is symbolic of judgment, while the white hair and title "Ancient" indicate that God existed before time began. In Isaiah 43:13, we find that God refers to Himself existing from ancient of days (literally, "before days were"). That means God existed before days were even created. We read in Genesis 1 that God created time, days and nights, so God existed from before the beginning of time. God is often represented as ancient, as He that is "from everlasting to everlasting" (Psalm 90:2) and as "the first and the last" in Isaiah 44:6. Our time is time "Limited" according to Job. 14:1-5. There is no room for era and wasted moments with GOD under any circumstances. We are living in a time where this is proven ground for the Church to stand to the "Great Commission", which is our contract to being a part of "The Kingdom Culture Community". Anyone who fails in their shortcomings of this contract is not fit for service. Men you are to take the lead, to lay your life down for your family. Too many men are taking these times for granted to believing it does not matter of what good deed you do, you will see Heaven. Yes you will if you are saved but your works will be tested as 1 Cor. 3:10-17 says your works will be tested by fire, the spirit of the Lawless One (Antichrist) A will test your Position In Christ." May GOD always rule in your life through His Son Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen!

So many of GODS people choose not to read the bible simply because the bible demands that you do. And many people desire to listen to Pastor, Preacher, Teachers watered down version of their opinions of the word of GOD. More than the word itself, so there must be a greater effort to win the minds of folk to be excited about the reading of Scripture. The Purpose for the Church is to come and get your assignment, so that one can make an impact in the world. It is not in what you eat or drink that adds years to your life, it is in the service to GOD that years are added to your life on earth. Matt. 6; says. Our time is time "Limited" according to Job. 14:1-5. There is no room for era and wasted moments with GOD under any circumstances. We are living in a time where this is proven ground for the Church to stand to the "Great Commission", which is our contract to being a part of "The Kingdom Culture Community". Anyone who fails in their shortcomings of this contract is not fit for service. Men you are to take the lead, to lay your life down for your family. Too many men are taking these times for granted to believing it does not matter of what good deed you do, you will see Heaven. Yes you will if you are saved but your works will be tested as 1 Cor. 3:10-17 says your works will be tested by fire, either it will be works of Gold, Silver, Bronze, Wood, Hay or Straw. This is the value of your Inheritance in the Kingdom of Heaven. Where do you think you stand because it will be "TESTED." We at, "The Kingdom Culture Fellowship Ministries" stand as representative of the "Kingdom of GOD" to inform you Men and Woman for the sake of your families "Know Your Position In Christ." May GOD always rule in your life through His Son Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen!

Everyone has a story that needs to be told. We all have had our share of pain in life. Some of us have recovered; others are recovering, and some are still trying to navigate their way through. But, through all of the dark clouds is a light that is ready to emerge and shine. Reaching for that light involves peeling back one layer at a time. This is the journey that many speak of when they come out of painful situations. They talk about what led up to their recovery and freedom. Many, however, are feeling trapped and weighed down by trauma and emotional pain. They sit beside us in church service, preach in the pulpit, sing on the choir, participate in outreach, teach children’s church, serve in positions of leadership, or just occasionally attend on Sundays. They’re experiencing a great degree of difficulty in their lives, but masking it by going through the motions of church as usual. They praise with pain, worship with wounded souls, and say, “Amen” while concealing their anxiety. Many are carrying around unforgiveness, regret, fear, guilt, and shame. They’re in need of mending and healing, but continue to go on as if everything is okay. In fact, everything is not okay and hasn’t been for quite some time. How long will this cycle continue in today’s church? From Pain to Purpose examines the condition of the heart and comprehending God in the context of one’s heavenly Father. It looks at the challenges we all face from time to time as we go about our Christian journey and offers fundamental, practical insight into what it means to reach for God when facing painful situations and emotions. Anthony opens up about his own struggle with reconciling God’s love while going through personal challenges—something that many Christians contend with because they’re viewing God from an unhealthy perspective. The core purpose of the book is to help readers understand that their emotional wounds are of great concern to God’s heart and that freedom from their pain is within reach!

A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE!We cannot sit on the ropes and take unanswered punches from forces who are determined to knock out our faith. We must not retreat, turn the other way, or surrender our faith. We are to fight back through Christ. We are in a real fight and our faith is on the line. Everything that we value, our way of life and our spiritual perspectives are being challenged. We can either choose to fight valiantly and courageously or throw in the towel. Certainly, giving up should not be an option, especially since the fight's outcome was already decided over 2000 years ago through Jesus Christ. He is the undefeated spiritual Champion in earth and in heaven! Therefore, it is important to abide in Him and allow His strength to help see us through. We can raise our hands in victory because, in the end, we win! We don't have to wait to hear the judge's decision like fighters do at the end of a boxing match. We know the Judge's (God's) decision, and it is salvation and redemption through Christ! Fight! Refuse to Surrender Your Faith is a must-read for everyone, but particularly for those who have decided that following Jesus Christ is the key to life and godliness. It provides great encouragement, exhortation, and admonishment throughout its pages. It's relevant for today's church and even offers the way of Christ to those who are undecided about where to place their faith. The author uses metaphors and examples relating to sports and real-life situations that we all can relate to in our daily lives. The book is engaging and keeps you focused on the importance of taking a stand in your faith walk. It offers solutions through Scripture and spiritual insight while teaching you how to contend for your faith. The overall message of the book is keep going, stand strong, and refuse to surrender your faith-something we all need to hear and have reinforced as we go through some of life's toughest battles.

“In Him is the fullness of the godhead bodily and by Him all things consist…” We must not forget who is at the center of our faith. He is the wonderful counselor, Jesus Christ. He is our portion and our sufficiency! It is time to recapture the greatest significance of our spiritual walk, which is to intently and intimately relate to Christ. He is the first fruit and forerunner of our spiritual experience. It is in Him that we are able to be called, “The sons of God.” It is in Him that we are made whole, justified, and are declared righteous. However, to establish a fully committed relationship with Christ, we must be willing to go beyond merely learning about the details that surround His life and work. We must be willing to pour ourselves into His person, His way of life, and His very nature. The early disciples counted it an honor to live for Christ. However, it is clear in our modern day that we have lost perspective concerning what it means to know Him. We have the clichés and church antics practically down to a science. We have even sought to supplement godly living with our talents and giftedness; opposed to submitting and yielding to the power of God. Beloved, we must realize that spiritual living cannot be reduced to catchy phrases, self-centered prayers, a misuse or subjective approach to interpreting Scripture, or emotionally stimulating church services. Sadly, all of the aforementioned practices lead to little or no godly transformation. It is time to awaken to the reality of our conversion in Christ. It is time to identify with Him and to truly devote our lives for His cause! He wants to bring us into a life changing encounter that will reshape the way that we view spiritual living, the church, and our fellowship with one another. “That we may know Him” unpacks the fundamental practice of what it means to be a devoted follower of Christ. It leads its readers toward a Christ-centered approach to spiritual and practical living, while debunking the misleading notions that attempt to secularize the Christian experience. The book engages and encourages believers to develop a perspective of what it means to know Christ in the purity of heart as He intended!
