I hear the voices of a thousand ancestors calling us to action now,

There was no fear in the sound of their message, it was clear, it was concise and profoundly touched my heart.  I know that they are listening and watching where humanity is.  They are fully aware that if we are do not stand up to the elements that are coming after humanity to rob us of our freedom, dignity, and personal divine identities, that we will succumb to the forces of darkness and evil intentions. This is not what our ancestors want for us.  They are calling us to awaken to the power of our intelligence, physicality, and beyond everything our immensely powerful spirituality are our armor and shield of protection and deliverance.  They want us to know that we are not alone!  Then all of a sudden, this song filled my being, and I could feel an energy all around me, that although we are in a battle for our lives, good will overcome evil! 

We are the light that will outshine the dark.  We are united with the ethereal divine power of our ancestors.  They have walked where we are walking!  They have stood their ground on the battle fields of all the challenges that they were forced to fight.  They used their faith, ingenuity, and intelligence to carve out the reality of what they wanted to manifest for their lives and the lives of their children. They never gave up!  They never gave in!  Their songs of courage saw them through, and we have inherited these spirituals to be used as guidepost and fortitude to answer their “Call to Action”.  The song they gave me today is- “Joshua Fit the Battle”-

Take courage and take heed:

Joshua fit the battle around of Jericho

Around Jericho around Jericho

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

And the walls come tumblin’ down.

God knows that

Joshua fit the battle around of Jericho

Around Jericho around Jericho

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

And the walls come tumblin’ down.

You may talk about your men of Gideon

You may brag about your men of Saul

There’s none like good old Joshua

At the battle of Jericho

Yet bold and brave he stood

Salvation is his hand

“Go blow them ram horns”, Joshua cried

“Cause the devil can’t do you no harm”.

God knows that

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho, Jericho

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

And the walls came tumblin’

Down, down, down, down, down, tumbling down.6
