"STANDING TALL AND STRONG, AGAINST ALL ODDS" ... (DJS) - 6/03/12

[DEBORAH J. STEELE]

“STANDING TALL AND STRONG , AGAINST ALL ODDS” …

Greetings: To My Dearest Tavis & Dr. Cornel West,

Once again, “Thank you” for your “loving sacrifice” of service, and for your “delightful & very fruitful” visit here in Atlanta, that, had just taking place, the other day! … (smile) … Ref.: (May 31, 2012, @ the beautiful: Lowe’s Hotel) … “This is definitely, My kind of place to be in!” … (smile) …

Again, it was truly, such a “great pleasure and honor”, to have “finally” met, the (both of you), all at the same time! … (smile) … As for me, I personally thought of the event, as being a truly, “historic moment”, for our times, and I will definitely “cherish the golden memories” and “Thanks”, also for the: “photographic memories”, of the pictures we shared as well! … (smile) …

“Blessings and Peace” I speak to both of your (spirits / hearts) … Despite both, the “known” and “unknown” challenges you, both had to face, during this journey, I want to continue to encourage you both, as I’ve done so in the past, as well as, for this “present” moment, to “remain faithful”, in your commitment, in providing “loving care services” to our communities, throughout the various different states, and continue to remain: “STANDING TALL AND STRONG , AGAINST ALL ODDS!” …

To be completely honest, with you; I was “some-what” taken by complete surprise, when you shared that, both of your lives, where being “presently threaten”, for the (cause for caring for the under privilege / “the new poor” of people) …

Besides, you are both doing, just what the Lord says for us all to do, in his word, when he says in: (Proverbs 31: 8) - “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute … Speak up and judge fairly; defend the right of the poor and needy” …

I had also, found it “very heart-breaking and very disturbing”, when you had mentioned that, there were (several large churches) here in Atlanta, who had (rejected your invitation), to host this “very important and historic event!” …

“Especially, just like you had mentioned, that, this is the “very city state” that, the: (civil rights moment) had began, when: (Dr. Martin Luther King) as alive and well!” …

Again, it just really goes to show you, how the; (“Church”) the very main place of the: (“meeting place”), had always taken place, in the past, which, had carried our various historic meetings, and events, in what had “appeared” to be the : “safe meeting place” to have meet, to try to resolve community issues … “How things have truly changed!” …

But, be not discouraged, by their actions! … “The church doors were closed, for a reason” … “Besides, you have to “move with God’s cloud”, and host these event, at the “appointed places”, he would like for you to speak at for him at … So, continue to pray, and seek his face, as to “where” are the selected places, he wants you to go, to” …

Besides, the hotel, was an “excellent choice”, and it was “very comfortable” place to host your event” … Just like you said in your previous book: (Fail-UP / “Father Knows Best”) …(smile) … And that, he does! … (smile) … He wanted to reach the “outsiders” … Those who may not appeared to show up in the Church building, but, he also, knew who he wanted to “reach”, and it was a: “ wonderful blend of shaded colors” … (smile) … It was also, allowing the both of you, to see, that your work, is “reaching across the color lines” nationally, just like God had used: (Dr. King), and his messages too” … (smile) …

Always remember: “We have to (always) be “open” and “willing” to “move” and “go to the places” that, he directs us to go to, even if, it means that, we have to “step out in faith”, and spend some additional funds, out of our own pockets”, but, towards the end, you can be rewarded, for your obedience” … (smile) …

It is very clear, now that, this is an: “assured confirmation” that, we are really living in the: “final last days”, and it’s very sad, to both “hear and see” that, there are still some of the: (Members of the Body of Christ), who “claim” to be: “true followers of Christ”, are actually, being controlled by: “The Fear Factor”, in our times! …

Now in regards, to your comments, in reference to the: (“Whispering Supporters”) … This too, was so funny to me, when I heard you mention this! … I was completely lost for words! …

But, on a serious note; this kind of behavior is a complete disgrace as well! … I simply call these types of individuals: “The Judas’s of our times!” … “They are considered in God’s word to be: “Doubled minded men”, who are unstable in all their ways!” … “Their so-called “whispering support”, only shows you, what they are really made of, and that, they’re “not solid at heart”, nor are they really committed in their words of conduct” … Their just providing you with “empty whispering words”…That have “no true lasting sound effects” of any kind!” …

They are afraid, to be “bold, and stand firm”, in what, I believe they know, to be true, but for: (political unknown reasons), for this: (election year, 2012), and they choose to: “give a deaf ear, and look the other way”, to protect their own personal interest, and investments” …

There are so many “hidden agenda’s”, of the “so-called church rules, and man-made regulations”, in our current system, and I am so sure that, our: (Heavenly Father above), is “truly heart-broken” completely,
by all of these painful events! …

Again, this kind of behavior reminds me of this particular bible scripture that, says: “”WITH THEIR MOUTHS, THEY BLESS, BUT IN THEIR HEARTS THEY CURSE” … (Psalms 62:4) …

However, once again, in all honesty, I’m really not surprised at all! … (Satan), is truly the: ’master mind”, behind all of these causes, and he is only doing his job, and he is at the same time, in trying to “steal both of your joy, rob you of your peace, and trying to ’discourage you both”, in trying to make “death plots”, in trying to have you both, “killed” for your efforts in helping and serving others, all at the same time” …

But, I say in love, continue to be “strong & of good encouraged”, to know that, “nothing is going to happen to (either of you) that, is not in God’s divine plan!!!!!!” …

He - (the Lord), already has his angels encamped around the both of you, to keep you safe from all harmful dangers, as you both continue to do his bidding, and the assigned angels are also, “fighting off” those demonic forces for you, even at this present moment! …

For as you both well know that, even the men in the bible, who were “committed & determined” to full-fill their God given commission in their life, they too, were (seriously persecuted) too! … Besides, (Jesus) said: “A servant is not greater than his master” …

“Just like they persecuted him, “they” - (the people, who do not
understand), the plan and purposes of God, “they” too, will do the same unto you!” … Please just keep in mind, this is all apart of the “winning territory”, in this (warfare), and know for certain that: “NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST EITHER OF YOU, WILL NOT PROSPER!” … “NO NOT EVER!!!!!!!” …

JUST LIKE GOD’S WORD SAYS: “To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice” … (Proverbs 21:3) …

He also says: “If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered” … (Proverbs 21:13) …

However, I want you both to continue take all of this, in stride, and know for certain that, this “appointed work assignment” for this “chapter mission”, in reference to your (Poverty Tour mission), is almost over! …

Meaning: “This chapter, will definitely lead to a much boarder events, and the additional (caring causes) will soon surface, and as you’re beginning to see, with you own eyes, right before you; your work has been set on a: “good and solid foundation”, with it’s God’s given divine purpose” and the “motivating roots’ are starting to take shape, and is developing and “touching and convicting the hearts” of those, who are able to help make some of these changes, to become alive and well, and effective in the lives of the people” …

“ Your work has not, and will not ever be in vain!” … (smile) …

Now, here’s my shared, heart to heart comments, on the subject matter in reference to your: (Brother-hood Relationship, with Dr. Cornel West), as “ Your Covenant brothers in Christ” …

“This too, was very saddening to hear, when you had mentioned that, you had received (persuasion) for your “covenant brother relationship, with: (Dr. Cornel West), and it’s “very clear to me”, (without any shadow of doubt) that, you both are like (spiritual wholesome brothers) in Christ, and it’s a “great real joy to me”, to see, how God, has such a wonderful way, to (replace) in our lives, and (restore), what types of relationships we need in our lives!” …

“Thanks” (Tavis), for being so “naturally & brutally honest”, in your “loving way of heart” (as you always are), about these very sensitive topic issues, and I truly do “love and adore you”, so much, even more, for your “transparency of heart”, in sharing your heart concerns …

“But again, please do not let the: (“jealousy” actions of others), to “sway you, not one bit!” … It’s very real, and clear to me that, “those individuals”, who make such (harmful & destructive comments), are really only showing their true colors!” …

They are “really jealous” of you, and for your friendship with: (Dr. West), and they know, “deep down inside” that, both of you, are “very serious hero sexual men”, and (“who love & adore women only”), and who have been truly “affirmed as Godly men, and “who have been”, and “will continue to be, blessed beyond measure!” … (smile) …

And that, the truth of the matter is: “You’re both are completely (ADORED BY MANY WOMEN, INCLUDING MYSELF INDEED)!” … (smile) …

Again, these men, are only “displaying their own insecurities as men”, and to my personal opinion, “they”, themselves are (confused) as to who they are! …

It’s sad, but, we know live in a society that many of our (so-called men), are so (confused both mentally & emotionally), about “who they are”, and “many do not know their real purpose” in life, and they display their methods of: ( “out burst anger & jealously”) towards “other wholesome and healthy hero sexual men”, such as: (both you and Dr. West), “who do know, who you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” …

Again, many of the “so-called men today” - (there are only a “few” wholesome men around), have been so “sexually abused”, it’s has effected them, in more ways, than they care to honestly admit!”…

At least, both you and Dr. West, know “who you are, as real wholesome God fearing, and loving good men!!!!” … and again, that, you know, “who you are”, and “what you want, and what you prefer!!! … “And it’s sad, but, they do not!!!!” …

Ps: “Keep in mind; “Miserable people loves company!” … “It’s just that simple!!!!” …

Again, my dear, this is only an (attack) from: (Satan, himself), and it’s sad, but, men who go around saying and making these (false accusations), and say these kind of “untruthful & harmful comments”, are only “planting seeds of destruction”, which, they will “reap back on themselves” either now, or later down the road! …

So, may the both of you, continue to: “stay strong and steady, in your manhood as good loving, and wholesome God fearing men”, and “shake the dust of your feet’s, and keep on moving, towards higher heights!” … (smile) …

Closing comments: “Once again, it was truly a pleasure in meeting the both of you, and I do look forward, to you next visit! …. And always know that, “I’M HERE FOR YOU, UNTIL THE VERY END OF TIME!” … (smile) …

“Always know that, you’re both, are in my daily prayers, and continue on with your assigned “great commission”, and stay steady and firm in your faith, no matter what!” … (smile) …

Sincerely, with warmest regards & blessings always,
