That “soured” rel...
The day and hour of the end of time no man knows, not even the angels in heaven. As in Noah's time, people were marrying, eating and drinking, then God said, "The End of All Flesh” is come before me; for the Earth is filled with violence through them; and behold; I will destroy them with the earth. (Genesis 6:13) the waters were upon the earth , the door was shut. (Gen. 7:16) In Matthew 25, there were five wise and five foolish virgins, they all waited for the bridegroom, in the meantime the foolish virgins ran out of oil , while they went t...
Philippians 2:10-11 | NKJV that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Beloved exercise the Authority given to you by the Lord Jesus. You may trample on serpents and scorpions and ALL the works of the enemy, and by no means shall anything harm you. Hallelujah!!! No sickness, weapon, doubt, fear, accusation, lack, or fear...
I remember watching tv shows like the Jetsons and thinking a lot of the technologies they had would be nice but never actually saw them really happening. The Jetsons were based in a 2060 futuristic era, and we are now in 2020. Our reality is that we have arrived near the Jetson-like present and future faster than anticipated thanks to inventors with creative imaginations and the engineers who can make those visions come to life. A simple modern efficiency that has always been used is the tv. I remember when I first begin watching tv, shows...
As in the days of Pharaoh the King of Egypt, when judgement came on them for their idolatry and lack of knowledge of him. Plagues were inflicted on Egypt because of their sins against God. Today men are disobeying God and his order for their lives. Therefore, plagues are coming upon us, diseases, severe weather, earthquakes, out of control fires, floods, and coronavirus. Let's repent, and draw closer to God, he will. Forgive our sins and heal our land. 2 Chronicles 7: 14 Well bless God! Superintendent, Henry Davison...
I believe while we are on this earth that we should strive to have peace in our lives. Peace comes from many different things, but peace mainly comes from being a whole complete person. When we are whole, we are well and possess a balance of spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, social, environmental and financial wellness. When we possess spiritual wellness, we acknowledge that there is a higher power in control over our lives, and we surrender. Spiritual wellness keeps us grounded and comforted at all times. Emotional wellness is...
Philippians 2:5-7 NKJV Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. We Praise and thank God for His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. He Who is ALL man and ALL God humbled Himself to the point of dying on the cross. Amen!!! He gave up His “reputation” So that We who have a bad “reputation” may get a g...
In the early 1900s, African-American author, educator, and activist Nannie Helen Burroughs published “12 Things The Negro Must Do For Himself”, which was a comprehensive list of important values and ideologies deemed necessary for Blacks to understand and implement to create success for themselves and implement as newly freed people of America. In honor of Black History month I believe it is imperative to share Ms. Burroughs’ writing because her words are still extremely valuable and pertinent today. —— 7. The Negro Must Stop Charging...
2 Corinthians 1:20 | NKJVFor all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. Yes, Beloved ALL the promises of God are available to you through Christ Jesus.

Provisions for your “vision” will materialize right before your eyes. Discipline and self-control will all...

Everything God Created he said was good (Gen 1: 31) Adam broke God’s law and tried to hide. Adam was placed in a beautiful garden that was peaceful, and free of evil. Adams disobedience opened the door for satan and his disciples, evil has been released on the entire world. Men lust after each other openly for all to see, each generation gets worse and worse , because the generation before them is ignorant of God's ways , they leave examples of evil and wickedness for the next generation. Lying, stealing, killing and hating has become a n...
Joel 2:25 | NKJV 25 “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.

Get your Zeal and Zest for life back!!! Amen! Beloved if you are “down” GET Back Up!!! If you had “failed “ then try...
Rejoicing in the Lord, praising and worshiping him gives him great pleasure. When we're in unity God commands a blessing (Psalm 133), keeping his commandments honors him. During reconstruction, a settlement of 350 African Americans built a town that had the first public school, banks, stores, and shops, everything needed for daily activities. This was because their confidence was in God, and not themselves. Evil workers came by night hooded, covered with sheets and burned many of the settlements down, and killed many.Beware of dogs!Our faith in...
There’s an old adage that says, “You never know where you are going unless you know where you have been.” In the spirit of Black history month, the Monroe Dispatch will highlight stories and history of Black people that are not commonly known. In 1312, a man by the name of Musa became Emperor of the Mali Empire. Given the Mansa, meaning “King” he went on to have a glorious reign. Mansa Musa was thought to be an extremely intelligent man, knowledgeable in Arabic and many other various subjects. He was a devote Muslim and was known as the first...
Ephesians 6:19-20 | NKJV 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. The time is near, and the time is now Beloved, that we shall open our mouths and declare as well as decree “what says the Lord. Prophesy over yourself, your circumstances, and your situations, in the Name of Jesus!!! Call those things that be not as t...
Ephesians 2:10 | NKJV For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Beloved God makes no mistakes. You are not an accident or a random chance occurrence. You were Created on Purpose For A Purpose!!! The “sum total” for your existence is to glorify and magnify the plan of God in the earth. You are crucial and important to establishing the Kingdom of Heaven right here on earth!!! Listen carefully to God’s instr...
In St. John 17: 11 Jesus prays that the disciples become one as he and God is one. It's the will of God that the believers are on one accord. We must choose God 's ways in order to receive his blessings. Well Bless God! We must do what we should to survive now.

Hospitals, Law Enforcement, school's etc.. will benefit, so please fill out your 2020 Census. Superintendent...
I used to think empathy was a horrible character trait to have. I once thought it wasn't good for me because I could easily receive the feelings and the energy of others around me. I have grown to realize that empathy can be one of my best character traits. This past Friday (January 24, 2020), social activists and Mississippi residents shared their disdain for the cruel treatment in the state's prison system during a Prison Reform Rally held right outside the state's capitol. I could feel the emotions of the people as soon as I walked up. Many...
Daniel 3:27 And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them. Beloved God’s redemptive love looks good on you. You just ought to thank and praise the Lord. Say: You Don’t Look Like What I’ve Been Thru!!! The testing and trials which you have endured did not destroy you; they’ve...
In these last days, fornication and adultery have become a way of life. The Bible says that he who commits fornication, sins against his own body. Because of these sins, sorrows have greatly multiplied. Children conceived by these manners are brought into chaos, sorrow and undesirable situations. Because of disobedience of God's commands, the way men and women disrespect each other is ungodly, and the marriage bed is defiled. Under God's rules, our body is his temple and should be kept holy for marriage. Then the children will be blessed with...
In these last days men will commit abominable acts against God and is justified by man. Their deeds, words, and actions are accepted by evil men. They condemn the just and accept the words and the ways of the devil and his disciples and reject God. With their lips they overthrow the souls of men. [ Eph. 6: 12] Cigarettes, dope, strong drinks causes men to pervert judgement , and lose control of their senses, whosoever is deceived by them is not wise. Using these substances will cause you to speak against God, lose your job, family, and your...
“Presumed innocent until proven guilty”, are words we have heard many times when an individual has been apprehended after allegedly committing a crime, and will face a jury trial by his own peers in a court of law. That is how it would normally go. That was until Donald Trump became president of these United States. By the time these words are read, the 45th president of the United States, Donald John Trump may be on trial in the Senate after impeachment charges are in the hands of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. By all accounts in the...
Isaiah 58:11 | NKJV The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. Rejoice Beloved and be exceedingly glad. For this year, yes this NEW YEAR, will have God direct and Led You To Living Waters!!! There will be no more droughts, famine or lack. The abundance of “rain” will be felt and seen in your land. Both the “former” and “later” rain will fall afresh...

Ezekiel 37:9 "Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” Rejoice Beloved and be exceedingly glad!!! For whatever was lost shall now be found. And whatever was dead is now Living Again!!! Your "dreams", desires, hopes, and wishes, are now Living Again!!! What was meant for your "bad" is being turned around for your good in the Name of Jesu...
The age we are in, we must consider what is happening in the world and understand the works of Satan and his disciples. Without a body to work through, Satan cannot tempt us through lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. (I John 2:15-16) Through the flesh, violence and abominable words and works causes generations of people to forget God and his mercy. The body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body and God has both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. (I...
One of the reasons the early settlers came to North America was to get away from the tyranny of European kings. Freedom under kings was limited, as one’s loyalty was to the king and any kind of opposition was met with a swift, sometimes deadly rebuke. English speaking settlers wanted to be “the masters of their own fate”, as they would travel over the vast expanse of an ocean to come to a land that they had only heard. Yes, there would be other people already inhabiting the land, it was their hope that it would be better than where they were....
Just for the record, Nancy Pelosi is not dumb. Pelosi didn't get to be the second most powerful person in the U.S. by being dumb. As Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi has tremendous clout, and she uses it very effectively, unlike the last two Republican Speakers, John Boehner and Paul Ryan. Their own party ran them both out of Washington. That's because as leader of the House, Pelosi is the one individual who controls(legislation) what comes out of the House, she calls the shots and has the votes to pass legislation. President Trump can't get...
We hear and see the pride that exists in the United States of America. The leaders and its people are very proud, even to the point of haughtiness. In their pride, they use God's name in vain and promote the things of Satan by lying and teaching hate amongst the citizens. Forwardness is in their hearts and they devise mischief continually and they sow discord. (Proverbs 6:14) Many wear clothing that reveal their private parts, thus promoting their lustful flesh. Spouses are leaving their families at an alarming rate running after strange...
My grandmother Irma Hall DeTiege was a huge advocate for voting because she grew up in an era where elections meant life or death for some Louisianans who were low on the totem pole. I have read many of her articles, and a common theme she often wrote about was political issues, encouraging people to get out and vote. Although she is no longer here, I now carry the torch, sharing the same desire to remind Monroe Dispatch readers of the importance of their vote. A sad truth we must face is although time has passed, positive change is still hard...
This age thrives on the sensation of war. Killing and sex is promoted on television, radio and in songs that are sung throughout the land. They love violent movies and talebearers direct their ways. Lucifer, that Old Devil, wants to confuse and shape the minds of men to think like him; causing them to follow the evil and wickedness of the imaginations of their heart. They curse God, refuses to obey God commandments. They have a form of God, yet they deny the power of God. After Lucifer fell from heaven, he encouraged wickedness and...
President Donald Trump will rightfully take the credit for the death of a noted terrorist who was recently killed when he reportedly committed suicide when surrounded by U.S. forces. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi killed himself and several family members during a U.S. raid that will be a victory in the war on terror, but he was no Osama bin Laden. That is not to minimize the impact of Baghdadi’s death, but victories like these don’t occur as often as the U.S. military would like them. There has been no more terrorist attacks in the U.S. since 9-11, whe...
In these last days let's sing praises and hymns to the Lord our God and to our Lord Jesus Christ, by exalting his holy name. Let's cry out and shout for the glory of God is in our midst. Let's pray for salvation because the Day of the Lord is at hand. In that day men shall faint, being afraid. Pain and sorrow shall overcome them, because the Day of the Lord comes with wrath and fierce anger to destroy the sinners, along with the devil and his disciples. When the Day of the Lord comes, the sun will be darkened, the moon and stars will not give...
Understanding Soul artists Jerry Butler and Brenda Lee Eager, created a song in the 1970's entitled, "Ain't Understanding Mellow". Besides the memorable melody at the start and catchy baseline, the song is allegedly about the understanding of two people who are breaking up. In the song, the two share an understanding of the love they share coming to an end but keep a mutual love and respect for one another. Understanding is needed in all relationships, whether romantic or platonic. Most relationships go awry when people don't share the same...
It appears that President Donald Trump has found himself between the proverbial “rock and a hard place”, now that a three judge panels of Appeals Court has ruled that his taxes/financial records must be turned over. State prosecutors in New York sued to have Trump’s accounting firm turn over his financials records dating back to 2011. The president had said more than three years ago that he “would love” to disclose his tax returns like all other modern-day presidents had done, except that he was under audit. The president has been playing t...

IF WE HAD KNOWN that the favor you did for us would be the last good deed of your hands We would have asked you to do something that was impossible for any woman, girl, boy or man Like walking the shores of the seven seas and count each grain of sand Then turn every one of them into a year that you would dwell upon the land. IF WE HAD KNOWN that when we saw you it would be the last time we would see your face We would have made the camera in our eyes, take a picture of your smile, and stored it...
Jesus Christ our Lord is the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by Him. (St. John 14:6) So, seek the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all your needs shall be added unto you. All the ways of Jesus Christ are love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, against such there is no law. They that are in Christ have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts of the flesh. (Galatians 5:24) Let us walk and live in the Spirit of Christ. Let us not be desirous of vain...
When fifty seven people died and hundreds injured at the hands of one individual in Las Vegas weeks ago, many in this “nation of guns”, just knew that our leaders in Washington would finally do something. Many thought(or believed), that our country’s leaders were going to say, “enough”, these killings have to stop. Or so they thought. After the usual “thoughts and prayers” sentiment expressed by our political leaders including President Trump, for a moment there seemed to be some momentum arising from the populace to do something about gun viol...
For decades the American criminal justice, and law enforcement systems have waged an unjust war against black, brown, and poor Americans, enabled by conspiratorial laws designed to target and enforced upon the above-mentioned American citizens. American government officials launched this money-generating war against people of color and lower economic status,,, to exploit and enslave the less fortunate. Although America is a drug-saturated country for both legal and illegal drugs, and the fact that it’s overwhelmingly those who are rich and p...
They stop and stare, because I wear, my nappy dreads so long My pants are sagging, because I carry, a load that’s heavy as stone. Didn’t go to college, lack the knowledge, to earn a 6 figure pay Schooled in the streets, so I can peep, the game you trying to play. I’m getting drunk, smoking blunts, to take away all the pain I step outside, so I can cry, and mix my tears with the rain. My veins, are full of cocaine, and I still ain’t high I’m full of pills, trying to steal, a little peace for...
