9JUNE 2016BODY OF CHRIST NEWS The Walls Are Coming Down America the Walls are coming down sound the Trumpet in Zion and tell my people the walls are coming Down. Prayer was taken out of the public school system in 1963 You took me out of the schools and The Walls came down only when there is a calamity on the school grounds or in the classroom you call to have a prayer and candle light session just for one evening and a few hours because of My Love Goodness and Mercies I have for you. And the Lord said unto Samuel Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee for they have not rejected thee but have rejected me that I should not reign over them1 Samuel 87. The Walls have come down my Father said when your Calamity cometh he will laugh. Lets go to the book of Proverbs 120-33please read you will also find in Proverbs 126 I will laugh at your calamity I will mock when your fear cometh. The wall is down. After the pray and can- dles have been blown out the school bell rings and you shut the door on me and lock me out again you put up the sign prayer is not welcome here So every evil sprite from hell opens the door and find they have free reign over our children. Our Schools are not safe the teacher want the right to have guns in the classroom just to protect themselves from our children that we send to learn and be educated. The Wall is coming down America. Our Children dont laugh and play on the school grounds they learn to fight be disrespectful to everyone their par- ents the teachers they learn sex then they walk around like they are mad and the world owes them something they are right we owe them the knowl- edge of Jesus Christ the word says my people suffer for lack of knowledge where is the joy they become killers you see life means nothing to them. They have become lovers of money at an early age and want the fast dollars so they start selling drugs you will find this in every school in America. Why did we expelled Christ and Prayer from the public Schools the wall came down the wall came down when the closet doors open and homosexual and the gay Spirit came out another wall has come down yes Jesus loves you he died for all sinners and he is love. Yes God created man and women but this homosexual spirit has convinced Gods creation that God made a mistake the wall has come down if we read the book of Genesis you will find the wall came down when Adam and Eve listen to the deceiver the wall came down and the door of Sin was open. America God is not pleased with US we need to get back to Praying Fasting and Repenting so that God will have mercy on America Remember God Blessed America Dignity For All Thank you to our Colorado leg- islature for respecting the rights of all people in Colorado by not fol- lowing the lead of some other states North Carolina Georgia Mississippi by passing a so called religious free- dom law this session. The religious community and its moral values have served as a moti- vational force to secure the rights of many disenfranchised and marginal- ized groups in our society. Although there were two such bills introduced this year faith voices such as the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado stood as a witness for equal treatment of all citizens. As clergy I stand with the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado for my faith values demand that dignity and humanity as well as the rights of the people are pro- tected worthy of value beyond human limitation and oppression. As a person of faith I am grateful Colorado took a stand for whats right and just as well. LETTER TO THE EDITOR By Sister Carrie LETTER TO THE EDITOR Check Out Time For I am now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand. Checkout time. You have heard of checkout time. If you have traveled at all you are familiar with checkout time. Before I came to Colorado in 1978 I spent five years work- ing for the American Baptist Churches U.S.A. I was the nation- al director of the Fund of Renewal in Valley Forge Pa. I also was executive minister of the American Baptist Churches of the South down in Atlanta Ga. During this period of time I traveled thou- sands of miles spent at least 20 nights a month in hotels and motels all over the country. So I have my share of experiences when it comes to checkout time. I have found that there are many interesting parallels between check- ing out of a hotel and facing lifes final checkout time. And I know many of you whether or not it was part of your job traveling or just vacationing since we are such a mobile society know about checkout time. Now journey with me back in time to Rome a city built on seven hills. It is raining and there is this dark street by Neros prison. A man is quietly walking down the street. He stops at one of the prison entrances and says something to the guard and gives him money. You see him stop at the next station entrance and give a bribe to another guard who then takes him further inside the prison. The guard opens another door and leads the man down into a lower level cell. An old man is sitting there alone in the jail cell. This old man is Apostle Paul who is waiting to take his last breath on Neros chop- ping block just outside. He has already prepared himself for checkout time. According to this noble statement For I am now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand. At hand means it is so close that you can almost touch it. At hand means it wont be long now. The old time preachers would say The death angel may be in-route but I am not afraid. I am ready for checkout time. When it comes time for you and me to check out will we face it like Apostle Paul Hotels vary when it comes to their checkout time. It can be between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The checkout time is determined by the management. But in life we dont know how long we have to live. It is left up to the dis- cretion of a higher power and author- ity. Going back and reading the words of Moses he said The days of our years are three score years and ten. That is about 70 years. He also said By rea- son of strength they may be fourscore. Yet is their strength labor and sorrow for it is cut off and we fly away. When it comes to life it is good to know the Lord is upper management. Remember in the bible the man whose time it was to check out and he asked for a later check out time. That man was Hezekiah. He got word from God sent through the prophet Isaiah. The Lord told me to tell you Hezekiah to set your house in order because you must die and cant live Isaiah told him. But Hezekiah did now want to accept that he must die. So he prayed to God. I beseech Thee I beg you O Lord and you know how I walked before you. pleaded Hezekiah. He wept and begged the Lord for a later check out time. The Lord heard his prayer and seen his tears and added fifteen more years to his life. Begging may not change your check out time but you cant be too proud to beg the Lord. I look at the life and work of our brother pastor and minister Dr. Paul Martin. Checking out is inevitable. No matter who you are or who you know we didnt come here on earth to stay. When Paul Martin was born and nurtured in a Christian home he was already taught that we all must meet our maker God. As he carried out his ministry with compassion so effectively wherever he was he still knew the inevitable would come one day. When the Apostle Paul came to know Jesus on the road to Damascus he knew his day to checkout would come. Just as Rev. Dr. Paul Martin knew that day would surely come for him. Unfortunately some people live life as if they dont know that checkout time will come or is coming. One songwriter said it this way Were climbing up the mountain chil- dren. We didnt come to stay. If you never see me again Ill meet you on judgement day Let me close by going back to Paul pacing around in his cell perhaps looking through the bars at Neros chopping block outside. His words were For I am now ready to be offered and the time of my depar- ture is near. I have fought a good fight I have kept the faith Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righ- teousness which the Lord the true judge will give to me. Our Dr. Rev. Paul Martin like the old apostle too said I have fought a good fight I have finished my course and I too have kept the faith.. When that final check out time came he knew where he was going. He was going home nonstop. I believe when you are absent from the body you are present with the Lord. If he died at 1100 he got to heaven at 1100. Home is where the bells were ringing and saints are singing. Home is where every day is saying howdy howdy and never goodbye. Home is where God wipes away all tears. Home is where just one moment in Gods kingdom pays for it all. Farewell Paul Martin well see you in the morning. SERMON The Wall is coming down America. Our Children dont laugh and play on the school grounds they learn to fight be disrespectful to everyone their parents. The religious community and its moral values have served as a motivational force to secure the rights of many disenfranchised and marginalized groups in our society.
