In African deserts, no one could survive the heat and sun without being of color. Dark skin has high amounts of melanin that protects our skin from the UV rays of the sun to keep us from burning from exposures to the sun. Long exposure can damage anyone's skin, but that's why many Africans wear light colors of clothing that reflects sun rays. The wooly curly hair is also for a purpose. Oil burns in heat, so if our hair is oily, the sun would scorch the scalp and the hair needs to be dry to protect it also from the sun.

Now today, we are trying to be accepted in White America because they don’t like how we look by straightening our hair with chemicals that damage our hair and scalp overtime. Therefore, we have caused much pain and discomfort and may I add, not being true to who God created us to be. God already accepts us as we are - and loves us as we are!
II Corinthians 12:8-10 AMPC
8 Three times I called upon the Lord and besought [Him] about this and begged that it might depart from me;
9 But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!
10 So for the sake of Christ, I am well pleased and take pleasure in infirmities, insults, hardships, persecutions, perplexities and distresses; for when I am weak [in human strength], then am I [truly] strong (able, powerful in divine strength).
Today we are being natural and going back to our origin and roots and here comes that evil Spirit in people firing blacks from jobs, kicking them off sports teams, and also out of schools because of only one thing - their natural hair.

| You can see the Northern part of Africa on this map in Biblical Days. Judea is the North of Egypt and Ethiopia is just south of Egypt not shown in this picture. |
The names of these mighty men, women, the Israelites, the Jews, and those not so mighty were and still to this day are African names, cities, and Countries. I have heard so many people say when reading the Bible, they can’t pronounce these names in the Bible, so they pick and choose what they read. Well these names are African names and you don’t speak the language - nor do I. But “our” God will tell you how to pronounce them and what they mean in the original origin and ethnicity - be ready to receive truth! You have not because you ask not.
I see movies portrayed of Biblical events or rather glanced at them. I can’t watch things that speculate events. No one was there and can portray the emotions, how the people truly dressed, their homes, and other ways the people lived accurately because they weren’t there. The truth is coming out thousands of years later from the finding of graves that these people in Biblical days are brown and black people. I have known this as a teenager, and it puzzled me why so many white churches in my home town didn’t want me in their church. I sorta laughed at their rejection; because, I said to myself, the Jesus you are preaching about is black so obviously you are living and preaching false doctrine. Scripture tells us that you will know them by the fruit they produce and not many churches around here are fruitful, because they lack one thing - Love for ALL people.

I can’t point the finger at too many people; whereas, if they would read and study their Bible, more people would know the truth. The majority of people only read what they want to read, and ignore the rest. ALL of the Bible is for our benefit and instructions. From Adam and Eve all the way to Jesus. All those who wrote the Bible and beyond, were men and women of color.
Jesus has showed up in our lives in precedent ways, and the more the world does everything to destroy us, God multiplies us, promotes us, and has made sure we are making a difference in this world one black man and one black women at a time. The more they oppress us, the more God exalts us. Scripture tells us that God knows what is going on everywhere. He sees all and hears all. (Proverbs 15:3; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) Nothing is a surprise to Him. It also says, He exalts one and puts down another. (Psalm 75:6-7)
However, this is where lack of knowledge prevails. All the great men and women of the Bible were black (again the sun rays of Africa were intense) but God knows what color we are, He created us and calls us His children. He doesn’t differentiate between color, education, money, and material possessions. He ONLY looks at the heart.
This scripture says:
Jeremiah 9:23-24 AMPC
23 Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches;
24 But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.
There won’t be one race, but the Human race in Heaven of those who honor God and loves others in sincerity and in Truth. He don’t separate and divide, that is Satan.
His Word also says in II Timothy 2:15 AMPC:
15 Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.
Correctly, accurately and ashamed are words that carry weight to me in the above scripture. It’s easy to be deceived if you don’t study the Bible; whereas, the more you spend time with God, the more He reveals His secrets and mysteries. Not everyone that preaches is anointed to preach; by the way, if you don't know the Word, you definitely won't know if your pastor is teaching truth or not. Satan knows Scripture in the Bible too. He recited verses from the Bible to Jesus when the Holy Spirit led Him into the wilderness to be tempted and tried. (Matthew 4)
That’s why there is a separation and division among people who do not want to spend time with a God of love for us ALL, and a God who is Just and Righteous!
I was praying one time and asked God why does the world hate us so much just because we are black, and He said, they hated Me too; but Satan is a defeated foe! Everywhere Jesus went the Pharisees and kings who felt they were more educated, wealthy, and scholars of the Bible than Jesus were trying to kill Him before it was His time to be crucified on the Cross. Many were offended and wondered where He received the authority (Matthew 7:29) to teach and preach as He did. Jesus also performed many miracles that the Pharisees and other church leaders were not able to do; therefore, Jesus drew many people from miles around to come hear Him teach as well as get healed of their afflictions.
God is giving us time to get it right; but those who reject His children (poor, black, white, addicted, etc.) He will reject them. Jesus died for ALL who believe!
We who know your voice will harken to it; because your sheep know your voice and will follow you Wholeheartedly!
