louisfarrakhan#JusticeOrElse! is not a march, but a gathering of those who are sober minded and serious about placing a demand on the United States government and putting power behind that demand to force the government to give us what we deserve.
This is not a march, but a gathering of those who understand that freedom has never been obtained without the loss of life and who step forward willing to give whatever sacrifice that the time and the God of this time demands. We are certain that God would not bring us out to slaughter but He does require that we take the ultimate stand in order that He may show his power. We recognize that there comes a time in the life of all suffering people where there must be a willingness to lay down their lives for the cause of freedom and a future.

The Perfect Example of Our Faith in God! (Class project - SCPR-520 Multicultural Media History)
THIS IS A REPOST! I THOUGHT IT WAS
BEAUTIFUL AND WANTED IT TO SHARE!
Barefoot College
In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the
other:
“Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something... after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”
“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”
The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”
The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”
The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”
The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one has ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”
The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”
The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”
Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”
To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”

Increasing YOUR Faith! (Class project - SCPR-520 Multicultural Media History)
Three Simple Ways to Increase Your Faith
How do you increase your faith? Three simple ways to help build and increase our reliance on God.
1. Read the Word
Or
at least hear God’s Word. Romans 10:17 says says: So then, faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Reading or hearing God’s Word is like
planting a garden. If you want to grow or “build” a garden, you must first
plant the seeds, or the actual plant or flower. God’s Word is the seed that
grows the faith. Become familiar with your spirituality and what faith is all
about by meditating on its contents. This will give you the basis for growing
or increasing your faith.
2. Heed the Word
James 1:22-24 offers a
second way to increase your faith: But be doers of the word, and not hearers
only, deceiving yourselves. Correct application must always be built on correct
interpretation. But to study the word just to fill your head with knowledge
without applying the word impedes God purpose in giving it to you. All matters
are relevant. If we fail to heed what we’re reading and ignore what God is
telling us, then our faith grows stagnant. Therefore, in order to grow and
increase our faith, we need to use that “measure” of faith God gives to everyone
and build on it.
3. Test the Word
There is a difference in
“testing” God by “contesting” Him (seeing how far God’s patience will go with
your own self will) and “testing,” or proving God’s Word is true. Malachi
3:9-11 offers one practical way God says we can prove Him faithful to His Word.
This passage concerns tithing and being good stewards of the things He has
given us: Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will
not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that
there will not be room enough to store it.” As you “test” or act on what
God says and experience God’s blessing, your faith grows.
The process of testing the measure of faith you have may involve trials and difficulties. How can you increase your faith in those circumstances? Consider it pure joy. Whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. James 1:2-3.

Motivating your Mind! (Class project - SCPR-520 Multicultural Media History)
Be and It Is! Imagine it, Believe it,
Achieve it!
What if I told you, you are meant to have an amazing
life, you are meant to have everything you love and desire and you are meant to
accomplish all of the things you would love to accomplish! All of the power you
have inside of you will allow you accomplish all of your desires once you
understand the way life works!
So many people do not live for today. They are completely
consumed with the future and yet how we live today creates our tomorrow. It is
what you feel today that matters because it is the only thing that determines
your future. Every single day is an opportunity for new life and on any one
day, you can change the future through what you feel and desire!
I read that every moment of life is infinitely creative
and the universe is endlessly bountiful. Just put forth a clear enough request
and everything your heart desires must come you.
You might be asking, what is a “clear enough request”?
Knowing EXACTLY what it is that you want out of life and requesting it! It’s
just that simple.
So the first thing you have to do is imagine it! Close
your eyes. Use your mind to focus on what you desire. See yourself with it.
Know you deserve it believe you could have it! Feel it. Whatever you want to
be, to do or have in life, it is yours. Your imagination is so strong, it
connects you to what you want in an instant. Then receive it! Whatever you
desire you must want it with all of your heart. Desire is love therefore you
must have a burning fiery desire in your heart to harness the force of your
desires.
Nobel Peace Prize winner George Bernard Shaw said
“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you
will what you imagine, and at last you create what you will. You have to have
faith!”
What is will, you might ask. A will is a desire or wish.
Faith is to believe that which you do not yet see; and the reward of this faith
is to see that which you believe.
Everything that you do, know that you are creating your
own life’s story. So what story are you telling and will tell about yourself.
Do you believe everything you desire, you can have? Do you believe that you are
meant to have an amazing life? You are an unlimited being and the universe is
unlimited.
Your story may be whatever you want it to be. Therefore
start telling your story exactly how YOU want it to be. Imagine it, Feel it,
Believe it and Receive it! The power is within you! You have in you everything you need to
accomplish anything you want! Keep imagining.
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living
someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results
of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out
your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart
and intuition ... Stay hungry, Stay foolish." Steve Jobs
For me, failure is not an option! However, I did fall.
And each time I fell, I learned something.
Oprah once said "It doesn't matter how far you might
rise. At some point you are bound to stumble. ... If you're constantly pushing
yourself higher ... the law of averages, not to mention the Myth of Icarus,
predicts that you will at some point fall. And when you do I want you to know
this, remember this: There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life
trying to move us in another direction.
Be And It Is! Imagine it, Believe it, Achieve it!
