Your New Beginning
Is in Acceptance!
When God desires to do a thing, He does it. Many times we are waisting time protesting what God has already done. Even Jesus had to say "Nevertheless not my will but thine". For those of us who live in the United States, we have had a discernible change in the fiber of our country, we have elected a man who until this day and time, would never have had a chance to be elected President of the most powerful country on earth. We are undergoing a change in, not only in our political system, but in economics, (the transfer of wealth which has been prophesied through out the church is taking place). We are experiencing a change in our foreign affairs, preception of people who had been termed the minority, there is a renewal in our young people stepping in and participating in events that will change the course of life for generations to come. Our New Beginning took a great change to offer real change.
We stand at the threshold of a newness of purpose, direction, and clarification of prophesy as we have never seen before. In the midst of all this I have many contacting me, in protest to the changes God has made. Why do you say God, Dr. Anita? Because Romans tells us that all authority comes from God. We have not been placed into a vacuum simply because our President Elect has a different color face from those we have become accustomed to-- on the contrary, we have stepped into God's plan for our lives, for the word teaches us that "there is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free, male nor female, but we are all one in Christ Jesus". I can't believe how fear has gripped the hearts of so many based on a man's name, and perceived allegiance, because of his color. God is in control, now as he has always been! Have Faith In God, to guide our leaders, to speak for the weak, to stand in the gap for injustice (an injustice suffered for centuries for some of the citizens of this country). It is time for you to step into your destiny. We have been down for so long, we have come to think it is normal, it is time for you to reach the goals at the bottom of your ultimate attainment, so that you can begin to climb the ladder to the high calling in Christ Jesus. It is time for you to forget those things which are behind and press forward in your call, it is time for your new beginning to Begin!
The first step in reaching that new plateau, is to accept. Accept that you have gone through the fiery trials of the enemy, and rejoice because you have won. Accept that it is time to move on, don't forever camp out at the brook, when He needs you to move on the the widows house (Elisha). Accept that God has changed the season we are in. Accept that "maybe" if we kept on doing what we always did, we would keep on having what we always had--defeat, oppression, fear, deception. It was time for a change in our leadership, it is time for a change in our youth. It is time for a change in the body, it is time for a change in our prayer life. If you have been one of the countless Americans who "never dreamed" we could have an African American President, it is time to pray. Pray for his health and strength, pray that no weapon formed against him will prosper, pray for his family, pray for his courage (this country has many obstacles to overcome), pray for wisdom, pray for those who will be working around him, pray for the change that this country so greatly needs.
It never ceases to amaze me that while we interact in the workplace, the church on Sunday morning remains the most segregated place in America, lets pray that God changes this as well. Maybe with the leadership of a person, some never thought they would see, that in turn they will find value in people in which they thought was none. Let's pray that, eyes and hearts open in ACCEPTANCE! Let's pray that our youth accept a future that does not include baggy pants and foul language, baby mama's and baby daddy's (but in their place Mothers/Fathers/Families of two parent households, Hip Hop stars as role models, and the deception of the enemy that there is no hope for the future. I am praying that as we watch the unfolding of this administration, we as a body on a hole will move from children to adult, knowing that "when I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man I put away childish things".
God placed this man in authority over the most powerful nation on the earth, because HE IS WHAT WE NEEDED! Let us agree since God is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, He has a better grasp on what is necessary to bring in the Kingdom, HIS KINGDOM-- than we. Let us agree that there has been an oppressed people, on whom, institutional racism was focused, and God is calling an end to the lie, which kept this country polarized though fear. Let us agree that we have finally arrived at the end of slavery in this country. Let us as a nation accept what GOD has done!
President Elect Barak Obama, A M Ministries, and Dr. Anita McLaughlin, will be praying for you, your family, your administration, your peace, protection and prosperity. We thank God for you, and believe that you will be used mightily to heal and restore our great country.
