Wade, wade in the water

Wade, wade in the water, children

Wade, wade in the water

God’s a gonna trouble the water

If you don’t believe I’ve been redeemed,

God’s a gonna trouble the water

Just follow me down to the Jordan’s stream

God’s a gonna trouble the water

I said ah

God’s a gonna trouble the water

Today I hear our ancestors reaching out to us to calm and cleanse the torrential and muddy waters that are in the forefront of our lives. Great Spirit is aware and is engaged in this era of disassembling the old paradigms that condone behavior of people that are consumed with living outside the realm of the divine vibration of love and compassion.  The elements of humanity that have been divisive, ruthless, greedy for power and wealth at the expense of our collective humanity is in a downward spiral of defeat.  We are called to use our discernment in everything we engage in and with everyone we engage with.  We are being called to be intentional and committed in our faith, because these are our tools to “wade through the water and rise above what is transpiring in and on the earthly plane. 

We have to follow the lead of our ancestors that crafted a plan for their escape from slavery into a life of freedom and safety.  We are being asked to carry forward the legacy of “making a way out of our slavery to a system that is not designed to provide us the opportunity or resources to come into the “fullness of who we were created to be”.  This is the time in which we are being called to fortify ourselves, our family members, and the community that holds the resources that sustain our lives.  This means we need to be self-sufficient and self-determined!  We need to invest in our own personal development in all the four domains of what constitutes who we are in the flesh.  That means being stewards of our mind, body, social emotions, and spiritual wellbeing. 

This “call to action” means we have a responsibility to ensure that the needs and development of our family members are on track with their “divine identity and divine life’s purpose”.  As for our communities, we have a responsibility to invest in our communities so that we can use the services and resources within our own community.  This means chartering a council that will in collaboration with the community design a plan of what services and resources are needed so that our money circulates within the community, and we are in a position of taking care of each other and at the same time solidifying the stability and sustainability of our culture and our people.  I think this approach can be applied as a way to build self-esteem, strong families, and vibrant communities across the planet.  How many times did our African American ancestors build a fully functional city or community, only to have it destroyed by those who did not want to see us succeed, and still “they rose from the ashes of their dreams manifested”.  We can and must answer this call and support from our ancestors.  They are in a position where they see where we are and know where we are headed if we don’t change the rules of this game of life, and step into our genius and power.  Their words are our strength and our guidepost to a better future and a better world for our children.
