Prophetic Words From the Ancestors- Message #7 “Guide My Feet”!

Learning to Step into Our Legacy

Message from the Ancestors:

Well, the message this morning from our ancestors is very clear, concise and to the point.  There seems to be a consensus of opinion that we are in a race and that we don’t have to feel as though we are running it alone.  I believe they want us to know that all we have to do is to asks for support and guidance and it will be accessible to us.  Accessible to us as individuals and accessible to us as a humanity.  I believe that when our ancestors are elevated to the status as an “ancestor”, there is a coming together of these ethereal beings that join forces to support our earthly experiences.  They don’t have to deal with or succumb to the manmade elements of behavior and thinking that separates and divides us.  They are capable of universal agape love and compassion.  They want the best for all of humanity. 

This ability we have to consult with and hold in reverence our connection with our ancestors just absolutely excites me.  It is comforting and encouraging to know that we are not alone in this course work known as “Life 100” for some of us and perhaps “Life 1000+” for others of us.  We as a family take to heart that the love and guidance, we receive from our ancestors is a gift that blesses our lives.  I want to encourage people to know that there are forces in the universe that are supporting their lives and to take advantage of that ethereal vibration that is always reaching out to support your challenges and endeavors that are part of your “divine life’s journey that give purpose and relevance to the life you are living.  The message today from the ancestors is-

Guide my feet while I run this race

Guide my feet as I run this race,

Guide my feet as I run this race,

For I don’t want to run this race in vain, in vain.

Hold my hand while I run this race.

Hold my hand while I run this race.

Hold my hand while I run this race,

For I don’t want to run this race in vain, in vain.

Stand by me while I run this race.

Stand by me while I run this race.

Stand by me while I run this race,

For I don’t want to run this race in vain, in vain.

We are running a race that colors the fabric and context of the quality of our lives, and we are in good company as our ancestors continue to watch over us and guide our feet along the way.  Leading us, Guiding us, Loving us, and Being present for us, if only we make ourselves available to them by honoring them, respecting them, and never forgetting who they are to us.  Be open my friends! Be available my friends!  Be ready for the blessings my friends!    Have a blessed day!

Mga Salita ng Propeta Mula sa mga Ninuno Mensahe #5 Filipino

Pag aaral na Hakbang sa Ating Pamana

Narinig ko ang mga tinig ng isang libong ninuno na tumatawag sa atin sa pagkilos ngayon,

Walang takot sa tunog ng kanilang mensahe, malinaw, maikli at malalim na naantig ang puso ko.  Alam ko na nakikinig at nanonood sila kung nasaan ang sangkatauhan.  Lubos nilang nalalaman na kung hindi tayo naninindigan sa mga elementong darating pagkatapos ng sangkatauhan upang agawin sa atin ang ating kalayaan, dignidad, at personal na banal na pagkakakilanlan, na tayo ay magpapadaig sa mga pwersa ng kadiliman at masasamang intensyon. Hindi ito ang gusto ng ating mga ninuno para sa atin.  Tinatawag nila tayo upang gumising sa kapangyarihan ng ating katalinuhan, pisikalidad, at lampas sa lahat ang ating napakabisang espirituwalidad ay ang ating baluti at kalasag ng proteksyon at pagliligtas.  Gusto nilang malaman natin na hindi tayo nag-iisa!  Pagkatapos ay biglang napuno ng awiting ito ang aking pagkatao, at nadama ko ang sigla sa paligid ko, na bagama’t nakikipaglaban tayo para sa ating buhay, daig ng mabuti ang kasamaan! 

Tayo ang liwanag na sisikat sa dilim.  Nagkakaisa tayo sa ethereal divine power ng ating mga ninuno.  Naglakad na sila sa ating nilalakaran!  Nanindigan sila sa larangan ng labanan ng lahat ng hamon na napilitan silang labanan.  Ginamit nila ang kanilang pananampalataya, katalinuhan, at katalinuhan upang maiukit ang katotohanan ng nais nilang ipakita para sa kanilang buhay at buhay ng kanilang mga anak. Hindi sila sumuko!  Hindi sila nagpaubaya!  Nakita sila ng kanilang mga awit ng katapangan, at minana namin ang mga espirituwal na ito upang magamit bilang gabay at katatagan upang sagutin ang kanilang “Tawag sa Pagkilos”.  Ang kanta na ibinigay nila sa akin ngayon ay- “Joshua Fit the Battle”-

Lakasan ang loob at mag ingat:

Joshua akma sa labanan sa paligid ng Jerico

Sa paligid ng Jericho sa paligid ng Jericho

Joshua akma sa labanan sa paligid ng Jerico

At ang mga pader dumating tumblin ‘pababa.

Alam ng Diyos na

Joshua akma sa labanan sa paligid ng Jerico

Sa paligid ng Jericho sa paligid ng Jericho

Joshua akma sa labanan sa paligid ng Jerico

At ang mga pader dumating tumblin ‘pababa.

Maaari mong pag-usapan ang tungkol sa iyong mga tauhan ni Gedeon

Maaari mong ipagmalaki ang iyong mga tauhan ni Saul

Wala ng katulad ng mabait na matandang Joshua

Sa labanan ng Jerico

Gayon ma’y mapangahas at matapang ang kanyang tindig

Ang kaligtasan ay kanyang kamay

“Sige ihip mo sila ng ram horns”, sigaw ni Joshua

“Dahil ang diyablo ay hindi maaaring gawin sa iyo walang masama”.

Alam ng Diyos na

Joshua fit ang labanan sa paligid ng Jericho, Jericho, Jericho

Joshua akma sa labanan sa paligid ng Jerico

At ang mga pader ay dumating tumblin ‘

Pababa, pababa, pababa, tumbling down.

Prophetic Words From the Ancestors. Message #4   

This Little Light of Mine,
I’m Gonna Let It Shine!
 
“Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen”

I can hear our ancestors telling us this message and at the same time I hear them say that there is in this message an underlying message that is conveying to us that there is hope and comfort in our relationship and understanding of what “Great Spirit” is capable of doing in and for our lives.  It is more than true that at this time in the history of our humanity we are experiencing negative energies that are attempting to uproot and disassemble the tranquility, security, and harmony of our life experience.  We know that we must execute the tenacity, determination, and uncompromising inner strength that are ancestors implemented in their life experience to survive the challenges that were forced upon them because of the political-socio climate of their time.  Nothing has changed in a substantial way that has a life long-life changing effect on the conditions under which most of humanity is living, not in just our country, but with efforts to spread the negativity and greed across the globe. 

We know from what our ancestors are telling us that “Trouble Don’t Last Always”!  We can make through the rain, wind, and fire, that tries to dismantle and reassemble what we know to be truth and reality.  We are not living in the illusion of this world.  We are not allowing ourselves to succumb to things we know that are void of “Great Spirit” and we are not allowing anyone, anything, or any circumstance to take us out of our “Divine Identity” or prevent us from fulfilling our “Divine Purpose”.  Each of us have been endowed with the birth right to live a life of abundance, beauty, grace, peace, joy, and the greatest of these- “LOVE”!!  Stay strong and be not dismayed for “Great Spirit” will take care of us!

Prophetic Words From the Ancestors- Message #3

This Little Light of Mine,
I’m Gonna Let It Shine!

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.

Prophetic Words From the Ancestors Message #2

“Swing Low Sweet Chariot,
Coming Forth to Carry Me Home.”

These are times of chaos and at the same time amazing creativity and enlightenment.  Our ancestors have laid out a path for us to grab hold of and embellish, refine, and at times when they come to us in our dreams, forge a new design or heighten our awareness to something that needs to be addressed.  When we are still and tune into their vibration, we can have glimpses of messages that our ancestors are feeding us.   We all have the experience with losing a loved one, dealing with the process of healing and acceptance.  Sometimes if we are attentive to the little nuisances of things that arise in our life, that at times seem to have no context, we find a message that serves to guide us or inform us of what is on the horizon of our life experience.  Many of my blog readers are aware of the transition of my brother Lloyd.  His departure to the heavenly realm was not on our radar, but as a family as we sat to commune with each other and remanence about him and our eternal relationship with him, we realize how our ancestors had reached out to prepare us. 

About a month or so before Lloyd ‘s hospitalization, our grandchild Ua-8 years old sage- engaged in a conversation with my sister Patricia as they were riding their bicycles down the block.  He felt compelled to relate to her that when Mr. B-Lloyd- passed on, that she must not be sad because he was going to be dancing and walking all over heaven.  Lloyd was challenged by Cerebral Palsy and was not able to walk or talk-but he was able to communicate in his own way.  We never ever really talked about Lloyd transitioning and how this came into Ua’s spirit, I don’t know.  Then out of nowhere he began singing “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”.  We became sensitive to the words of the song because we felt it had taken on the meaning of transitioning from this earthly plane to the heavenly plane.  Every time he would start singing it we would beg him to sing something else that was not so sad. 

I think unconsciously we felt it was attached to someone leaving our family tribe.  When Lloyd did transition, and we put all the pieces together, we realized we had been receiving messages to prepare us.  Children are amazing vessels for the ancestors to communicate with, because they are clear, uncomplicated, and receptive to the spiritual world from whence they have come.  I am so thankful now because I can look back and feel cared for and have peace knowing that Lloyd was being cared for, planned for, guiding, accompanied, and received not just by his angels but his ancestors.  Our ancestor’s spirituals have so much to offer us and keeping the linage alive and a part of our way of navigating today’s world is a priceless treasure.

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry he home x 2

I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Coming for to carry he home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

If you get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I’m coming too
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

Prophetic Words From the Ancestors- Message #1

This Little Light of Mine,
I’m Gonna Let It Shine!

These blogs will be a series of messages that are rooted in the “Negro Spirituals” of my ancestors.  I feel like the more I live life, the more I realize how their legacy left us messages that can helped to guide them and navigate them through the American culture and systems that have a day-to-day impact on the quality of our lives.  They have been coming to me in my dreams and meditations more and more every day.  I now understand how they managed to utilize their tenacity, genius, and gifts of the remnants of their cultural practices and principles, that were wiped from their memory, yet somehow, they were able to weave new nuisances of those gifts into tools that not only supported their ability to survive, laid the foundation on which they were able to seek freedom mentally, physically and spiritually. 

We have so much to learn from them that I feel will give us not only a guidepost for moving through this era of the challenge to rebirth the tenants of our democracy, but give us a more wholesome and healthy perspective of who WE have been to this country and who WE are to be now and, in the future, as full participants of equal value and significance.  WE are no longer the “fixers”!  WE no longer have to be apologetic for our existence as human beings in the fabric of this nation.  WE no longer have to hide or find excuses for who WE are as spiritual beings and what WE look like in the multitude of our physical artistic features and textures.   WE no longer have to seek approval from anyone for anything.  WE now must embrace what our ancestors are calling us to know – “WE are enough”!  Now WE are simply called to pour into ourselves, our families, and our communities.  WE are to nurture our gifts and use them to manifest our self-reliance and self-worth.  We are to make self-care, or I say, “Care for self”, as a priority.  WE are the only ones interested in our health and happiness.  WE are the only ones vested in the growth and development of our children.  WE are the only ones that care about the health, safety, and sustainability of our communities.  WE have been called to action to take up our own self-determination
