The Bible warns of deceptions. Being deceived in one way or another is something we all have experienced. The Bible has been on this platform of communication between God and man for thousands of years. Like many forms or ways to communicate, there is always something or someone infiltrating that which has been established, making what was meant to be a blessing now turned into an actual curse. Communication has always been essential, something man has always tried to make improvements on, from runners to messaging with flags or smoke to--what we are more familiar with--electronic messaging. Electronic messaging has evolved from the simple tapped-out code across a single wire to what we have available today.Methods of communicating throughout history has evolved and has had its problems. There are many things that can go wrong when getting our point across, even when we think what is said is straightforward. In communication, words that we hear may come to us perfect in every way but, to our understanding, has gotten misconstrued partially or totally. The Bible has stood the test of time in this respect, so it should not surprise us to see it attacked for its righteous character. The Bible does not leave us in the dark on this subject (Matthew 13:13-15). Our heart naturally has an unhealthy fear of God's word. The Holy Spirit desires to transform this fear into a fear of respect. This takes place in an atmosphere of unselfish love. The cross Jesus has been nailed to proves that untainted communication and pure love does exist still waiting our acceptance.

To every married man of the cloth that's in high office of a bishop, pastor, or apostle, that has a church building or a place of worship, the title of First Lady automatically becomes a part of her life, whether they have the right spirit or not. When you search the word First Lady, you will find that the only definition is the wife of the president of the United States. In most denominations, pastor's wives are First Ladies in the church world. It sounds distinguished and looks glamorous, but all it means is you are the wife of a leader of an organization. Being a married couple, you are one, so that means his load becomes your load and his hurts becomes your hurt and so on. Being in ministry and being the wife of a pastor is a very serious position in the body of Christ; you must be supportive in every way, working diligently for the kingdom of God.I've seen, met, and fellowshipped with many of them and came to the realization that the characteristics of a First Lady (wife of a pastor) must be spiritual. Some First Ladies sit like trophies on a shelf, looking beautiful, shinning like a diamond, but as she began to sit and look like a queen, without the love and spirit of God living on the inside of her heart, dust will begin to land on the surface of her heart clogging up her ears, blinding up her eyes, and showing fourth what the Bible calls the spirit of darkness. As you begin to read and meditate on the spirit of a First Lady, you will see how having the spirit of God living inside you makes the difference in dealing with people who the word of God call souls weather there in or out of the church. You will also see that underneath that exquisite hat is a radiant smile, a heart full of praise, and a never-ending blessing.

-SOPHIE-"e;We're in this together now..."e;I meant those words when I spoke them to Zach. He lights up my world, makes me feel safe, and tempts me to believe that life doesn't have to be dictated by my supernatural abilities or the dangers from my past. But lately, it seems the events that took place two years ago are still haunting me, a looming threat that never allows me to escape its grasp. Now, I must choose between hiding my fear-not an easy feat when your boyfriend is an empath trained to pick up on your every emotional response-or telling Zach and my family a truth that could change everything.-ZACH-"e;I'm giving you the real me to hold and keep safe..."e;I've given Sophie the most honest version of myself, and she isn't afraid of the real me. She takes all my bad choices, all my good intentions, and all my passionate responses as part of the whole, and I swear, just the sound of her voice or her touch can undo me and then put me back together again. This girl is my everything. Sure, we've had more obstacles to overcome than most couples-supernatural gifts tend to complicate matters from time to time-but we've worked through them together. Still, I can't escape the feeling that there are more obstacles to come, and even though she tries to hide her fears, I know her far too well, and even without my gift, I would know she has a secret to tell-a secret that could stand in the way of a future we deserve to share together.

Don't open this book unless you're ready for a potent uncut reality from the perspective of an unbiased source, the victim.This book is designed to answer the questions or give insight into the ways some of us had to think from the inside from a survival standpoint and for those on the outside that have the questions of where this type of thinking came from so they can understand what the problem really is while providing therapy for both sides as well as a potential solution for all. This is a platform for understanding the forced reality-that's the fact that it takes a village to tend to this properly. So I'm taking this fight head-on.

Breaking the Yoke: The Unruly Mind is a thought-provoking, Bible-oriented book that exposes lawless thinking and how to overcome them with godly principles and weapons of war. It intertwines both a biblical and a psychological perspective. Readers are expected to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of the mind, how it operates, how it affects us, and how we can effect it to affect our future. It is inspired by the author's direct and indirect battles in the mind and relentless search to get down to the root of the problems he encountered. Of utmost importance, every reader is invited to a deeper intimacy with the Lord Jesus Christ as that is the true and right way for chains to be broken off anyone's life. The unruly mind is common to all man and is a state we are all familiar with. However, breaking yokes of demonic covenants and barricades with this state of mind is where we need to be to daily walk in victory.Christ has called us to be more than conquerors, but the enemy has made it his point of duty to ensure that you and I live below our identity in Christ by infiltrating us with lies from our childhood and onward through various systems, culture, the media, etc. But I believe what Jesus says in John 8:32 that you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. And that's why this book has landed on your hands. You're about to be set free. This is no secret, so share this with others and be empowered!

I don't presume to think my stories are a special gift, but it's nice to know there are still new "e;ears."e; Who knows where you will find a tickle or a chuckle, maybe even a "e;LOL,"e; but know for sure I will be happy if this book provides moments to enjoy a smile. Thank you.

What if the prison industrial complex existed without the institutional middleman? What if indebtedness was a crime? What if all crimes could result in enslavement? In My Moonlit Mornings is a dynamic piece of realistic fiction, written in a dystopian alternate America that has permanently legalized involuntary servitude.John Harrison, president of the newly named United Confederacy of America, has revised the constitution to permit slavery in a profitable new form referred to as a Blacktract: the product of an authoritarian hierarchy system installed in the forefront of America's Bill of Rights. Through his influential manifesto, The Superior Stratagem, John Harrison and his son have persuaded the American people with alternative facts and blunt charisma to welcome involuntary servitude by abolishing prisons and effectively subjugating criminals and the impoverished. The two most important laws in the Harrisonian revised Constitution, written entirely by President John Harrison himself, proceed as follows:Indebtedness, lasting a period of six months or more, is a crime.All crimes are punishable by Blacktract at the discretion of the victim and approval of the United Confederacy of America.Blacktracts are not involuntary labor or forced upon anyone, until they sign the solid line at the bottom. Once the paper is wetted, all of the signers' desires dissipate to be replaced by their proprietor's desires, all fruits of their labor are inherited by the proprietor, and all of their basic human needs must be filled by that same master. Though, and I must add this, for one to not sign a Blacktract is death.These laws, coupled with preexisting tendencies for poor people, people of color, immigrants, and women to fall into debt or commit a crime create a tense world of profitable subjugation that is similar to our own world if it were under a magnifying glass.Malik White, a stubborn runaway Blacktractee, finally escapes his content life as a mechanic under an abusive master in a Mississippi auto shop and travels to New York City after hearing about its unique opposition to the Confederate American government. There, he finds Keri Carter, the compassionate leader of the Railroad to Equal Life, or REL: the last enemy to the United Confederacy, domestic or international. Keri then introduces Malik to her overly violent, super-assassin sister, Nina, who has a big surprise of her own waiting at home for Keri.

Una madrugada de enero de 1968, un bus del Ejército nacional partía repleto de jóvenes hijos del Caribe colombiano, samarios, barranquilleros, cartageneros, sesenta y dos en total, naturalmente alegres, que anhelaban convertirse, muy pronto, en suboficiales del Ejército nacional de Colombia. Bajo la supervisión de un sargento y un cabo, dos choferes se turnarían el comando de aquel bullicioso vehículo que, lleno de ilusiones y sueños, se dirigiría a la ciudad de Popayán, al sur de la república. La travesía del país, que duró varios días, fue inmensamente alegre al compás de canciones y relatos de aventuras. Parando en los batallones que se encontraban en el camino, Medellín, Cali, para alimentarse y asearse, no se imaginaban aquellos muchachos la amarga realidad que les esperaba. Ser soldado en aquel país podía convertirse en la peor desgracia.En efecto, con los días, todo cambió para uno de ellos, quien reconstruye el itinerario de una historia de la vida real, la desilusión y el desencanto se apoderaron de muchos como él, que nunca imaginaron la crueldad sin límite y la humillación que rigen el adiestramiento. Cada día una nueva afrenta. Ante la opción de humillarse y permitir la vejación permanente, nuestro joven soldado optó por la dignidad, sin medir las consecuencias; era una batalla sin esperanzas. De hecho, terminó metido en una bóveda, estrecha como una tumba, llena de chinches, piojos y cucarachas en pleno cuartel, de la que no saldría con vida, a menos que ocurriera un milagro.
