Philistine Roar

The roar of the heathen Philistine could not stop the hand of El Shaddai. GOD ALMIGHTY delivered Israel from the forces of every heathen nation. Goliath had heavy armour. David had a sling and few stones. DO YOU RECALL THE OUTCOME? Hallelujah!  If only Liberia would get ready with prayer and worship. IF ONLY you would become crazy for the move of God. IF ONLY you would find out how to get ready? IF ONLY you would repent and turn from your mockery of the Lord God Almighty. I am talking to you who think you are above God’s wrath. You who think you’ve got it like that and your sins are minor. You who believe that Liberia is great and everything is alright because it’s now your time to eat. Think again!

THINK AGAIN everyone.  When a nation decides to display heathen mentality, and relegate the one true living Almighty God to the bottom, that nation becomes the bottom. It is not about churches and mega churches everywhere. It is not about organized and institutional religion. It is not about oratory skilled clergy, prelates and pastors, or theological astuteness. It is not about prestige and portfolio and congregation size. If it were so, Liberia would be at the helm of nations globally. It is about the heart of the people becoming transformed by the message of the Gospel. It is about the nation going after the God who establishes nations. It is about national disdain for wickedness. It is about morality and value and heart. It is about good overcoming evil. It is about decency and godliness in character and behavior. It is about Godly examples in a culture of moral depravity.

You Descendants of Ham (Noah’s infamous son), it is the only the blood of Jesus that can remove the curse. Salvation can break the curse. Obedience to God can break the curse. You might say, ”But Other Countries do not worship God and yet they are prosperous, look at them.” Hear me. When you are operating under a curse, it must be removed and broken before the accursed, you, can prosper. This is why you must turn to God. Jehovah alone can reverse the curse. Operating in sin and abomination to God will not turn God’s hand in your favor. Repentance can. Repentance will turn God’s hand for you.

While you take stock, be reminded to apply the principles of Christ. Those include, goodness, kindness, truthfulness, honesty, fairness, justice, respect for human dignity, fear of God and reverence of sacred spaces. God is the top, and without placing the Lord God first you remain at the bottom. Give God priority in your life. The result is a richly rewarding experience with Jesus Christ.

In Your Folly

THIS IS DEEP. This is DEEP. (I am only a servant messenger of the living God, enlightened by the Holy Spirit. Bringing a word for such a time as this. Word February 19, 2019 @5:13 a.m. ~Hortense D. Grimes).  #RenconcileLiberia  #RaisetheBar

“Diaspora Liberia. You, Forerunners to the chaotic progressives. Most of you are today residing in the Western Diaspora, seeking a life of comfort. Yesterday in Liberia, you were experts in rhetoric, printers of leaflets, distributors of pamplets, organizers, and participants in street parades and marches. You operated under the disguise of university student activists, demonstrating fool heartedly against a God ordained regime.

You must speak out to God about the sin of your rebellion. Repent of that iniquity. Ask for forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ. The Blood Cry has mentioned your name. You bear the stains and the stench. You must repent and ask Lord God Almighty to wipe away your sin and iniquity in rising up against a destiny. Your actions too caused the shed of innocent blood. You may not have planned the coup or incited the rebel-activity civil war. However, you did invite unwanted bloody intervention. You did herald unnecessary rebellion. Unintentionally or otherwise, you were the first to scout out mass graves for your own fathers.

Diaspora Liberia. Those of you, children of the elite, many whom were descendants of the founding fathers, displayed arrogance and foolishness because you believed you were untouchable. You were experimenting with theory, using your intellectualism to fan flames of violence, albeit not intending a violent outcome. Your actions then, equally, are responsible for the Blood Cry today. Repent. The Blood Cry increases over the land. It must be avenged by Jehovah the Judge of all the earth. The innocent blood cry emitting from the land has mentioned you. Every transgressor must seek pardon from the Lord God Almighty Jehovah God.

Diaspora Liberia . If you are one of them, protégé of the then ruling establishment, who marched and demonstrated, taking advantage of your learnedness, defying and confident that President Tolbert would not handle you like the renegade you were becoming, you must repent of your past folly and misdeeds. Repent of your transgression. Your wickedness was forerunner to the child soldier mentality. What the rebel child soldier did in wigs and fanciful robes, you did with pen and ink and flamboyance. You, too, failed your heritage. You cursed your ancestors. In your ignorance, arrogance, and pomp, you destabilized an establishment. You orchestrated an ill for which you had no remedy. You are no different than rebel child soldiers. Your little knowledge drugged you. Your radicalism sowed seeds of violence. Repent for the Blood Cry has mentioned you and your deeds.

The nation languishes in travail. And the innocent blood cry out. Repent of your iniquity. Ask God to remove your sin and forgive your transgression. That the Heavenly Father, Almighty God, would atone the Blood Cry.

Diaspora Liberia. You who fit this category, do the work of seeking forgiveness and repentance for the acts you committed. The Blood Cry has mentioned you and your specific deed. Petition Almighty God that you would be cleansed and released. Deliverance will come.”

Almighty God have mercy on the Republic of Liberia. Forgive our sins and heal the land. We humbly beseech thee, with thanksgiving, in the name of Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen.

Hast Thou Inquired of the Lord God

DIASPORA LIBERIA. Hast thou inquired of the Lord? Inquire ye of the Lord God Almighty.

“By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yeah we wept when we remembered Zion.” (Psalm 137:1)

Diaspora Liberia. Dost thou know Zion? Hast thou asked of Zion?

Diaspora Liberia. Heaps of shame. Twice rejected.

Diaspora Liberia. Has thou sought Zion?

Diaspora Liberia. Inquire ye of the Lord, “Show me my transgressions, O Lord God.”

Diaspora Liberia. Seek Zion that you may find deliverance.

Diaspora Liberia. Would that you perish in exile?

Diaspora Liberia. Desolation awaits. Woe to you who return carrying your heathen idols back to an unrepentant heathen nation.

Diaspora Liberia. Are you different?

Diaspora Liberia. Hast thou remembered Zion?

Diaspora Liberia. Singing sweet songs of Zion from a bitter heart, deceitful tongue, vile spirit, evil smell. All the while shouting, “The Lord our God.” Dost thou know Zion!

Diaspora Liberia. Clinging to worthless idols and unknown objects.

Diaspora Liberia. Inquire of the Lord, “Show me my transgressions, O Lord God.”

Oh, that you would repent in sackcloth and ashes. Oh, that your hearts would turn to honor the name of the Lord God Almighty. Hast thou inquired of the Lord, “Show me my transgressions, O Lord God.”

END OF WORD. Wednesday, February 13, 2019 @ 6:05 a.m.

~It is by grace, and the finished work of salvation alone, that gives any hopes of being brought to a place of rest in God. Christ alone is that Grace and our Salvation. Salvation purchased your redemption which brought forgiveness of sin. Salvation comes by no other name except the name of Jesus Christ.

Perplexed, Help Me Understand

HORTENSEInspiration~ I Just don’t get it. Help me understand this.
Most Liberians do not want non-negroes as citizens. Most Liberians cannot tolerate Lebanese, Indians, and other nationals who consider themselves Liberians and have no desire to reside elsewhere; they have lived here for generations. Most Liberians hate that Lebanese are doing big businesses in Liberia and are the majority significant business owners.
As a reward for the hatred and scorn often dished out Liberia gets rewarded grandly. In return Senegalese. In return Nigerians. In return Ghanaians. In return Guineans. In return Malians. In return Burkinabes. And more. All of these “of negro descent” are invited and encouraged to come and do business and enjoy Liberia. Most Liberians know these fellow Africans have no heart or good intention for Liberia. My grandmother, Bigma, always reminded me, “...You want all You lose all.”  Be sensible in your wanting. Make fair analysis. Use good judgment. Do we really know what we want? Don’t you think we need an ally? I think we most certainly do. The devil you know is better than...
I believe 1000% that if Liberia becomes more open and receptive to the Lebanese and non-negro foreign nationals living in the country we would not need to be worrying about Burkina Faso loans and borrowed jet planes, Senegal fishing permits, Ghana millionaire investors, Guinea bitter-balls and pepper, Nigerian poultry farms and cement. #ReconcileLiberia #ChangingtheNarratives #RaisetheBar
The helpers Liberia needs are already in Liberia. Adjust their status and grant them residency, creating a path to full citizenship for Lebanese and other non-negro nationals who were born in Liberia or have resided continuously for decades. Grant Permanent Residency (Green Card) and Citizenship. The same benefits you petition, parade and fiercely advocate for in predominately non-negro countries in the western world. It is the right thing to do. Stop the fear tactics.
If I had a say, I’d ask you to take off the harmful blinders. Those people will not take all the land. Those people have been here way long before the new Asian demi-gods of today. If you see what I see, the land is already being taken by this new wave of non-negroes who really could care less about your national wellbeing. Besides, God does not like ugly. God abhors ingratitude. I think it is a sad day; it’s becoming a sad day everyday for the Republic. Lord have mercy. Open the eyes of the blind, God Almighty, that we may see differently. Me my part I have passed the stage of too much plenty talking for selfish interest. So should you. To Whom It May Concern ~~HortenseInspiration

HORTENSEinspiration Classics Series~Thanksgiving See

Early on in my life I discovered the joys of passing on. I discovered the thrill that comes from sharing, giving, uplifting, picking up others, laying things down softly. It is quite normal to get upset as long as you get pleased quickly. Be angry but be quick to forgive and faster to forget that which you have forgiven. Give others a chance to make mistakes. Just like you. Imperfect as we all are, striving to do this life right. As correctly as one would allow your human self to be fixed by God Almighty. No life is free from cares, but life is beautiful. Life is worth living. Your life is the only life you have on this earth. Life is precious. This Thanksgiving Day, whatever the nature of your life or however you may feel about yourself, I want to ask you to share your life with others. There is something about your life that can bring joy to another person’s life.

Thanksgiving signals our preparing to wrap up another year. In so doing lets each review “self.” Take a fresh look at yourself. Do you see? In a couple of days we will celebrate a day officially set aside to give thanks. To thank Almighty God first! To thank everybody else for the little or big that they are to you. An official day to just be thankful! An official day to just show gratitude! To just trash ingratitude and ungratefulness. A day to quit complaining, for 24 hours, and be compliant as far as thankfulness go. A day to officially just be appreciative for heaven’s sake! A day to say to one another “Thank you so much for doing this and that or the other.” A special day to declare to God Almighty, “Lord Jesus I thank you for life and everything about my life. Amen.”

One way to express gratitude is to give back of oneself. Beginning with the people right in front of you, start to SEE. See one another. See each other. See people. My definition of SEE means Stop Engage Express. Stop for a minute, meaning separate your focus from on you and put the focus on the other person. Engage the person, meaning take notice of that person enough to pull their focus away from self. Express yourselves to one another, meaning talk to each other about your both lives. Not about other people and events and things. Find out what is troubling or happening with each other. Do this from a genuine perspective. Show that you want to be caring, helpful and concerned. Lend your ears and offer your heart to the other person. Vow that your tongue will snap tight when you walk away with that person’s heart still sounding in your ear. This means what you SEE as is between you, that person, and God.

This Thanksgiving Day may you SEE the people around you. Show gratitude for each other. I am talking about beginning covenant friendships. This Thanksgiving Day trade up from empty friendships and begin establishing friendships that have depth and add value to the lives of each other. This Thanksgiving Day, I am asking you to ditch the “We meet once a year at thanksgiving dinner…” for more meaningful year round relationships. Make a point to exchange telephone numbers with family members. Follow up by actually dialing one another during the year just to catch up and SEE how each other is doing. Thankfully, we live in a great country, America; land of the vast everything. Except that the vast expression of our love for one another is displayed only when tragedy happens or unfortunate circumstances rear its head. It is time to change this. Starting one family at a time, one dinner table at a time let the Thanksgiving Day spirit continue all year round. It’s time to SEE one another. Stay in touch with your loved ones as often as you can. No excuses! Make the time to SEE your loved ones. SEE your family members. SEE your friends. SEE your neighbors. SEE the people you encounter daily. SEE others around you.

Share your life with others. Happy Thanksgiving!

Because Suicide is a Real Matter

This Week is NATIONAL SUICIDE WEEK (September 9-15, 2018)— Because Suicide is a real matter. Suicide is happening one time too often. The alarming rate of Suicide is every shade of painful. We must all find ways to deal with this problem, illness, and everything else which it is. Each of us is obligated to find a way to help end this reality.

Life is tough. Problems multiply by the minute. Frustrations add, subtract, divide, then multiply again and add on more. Disappointments mount daily. Your self-worth takes a dive. People leave you. People stay with you. Love turns sour. Love takes a chill. Love says never again. Friends betray you and foes destroy you. You lose jobs. You lose material possessions. Your life changes overnight. You get sick. You find out you’ve got cancer.

Trouble spends all day looking for you. Your baby dies. Your aged parent gets dementia, your child gets addicted to some weird stuff, your husband finds a younger woman, or a much older woman, your wife gets tired living in poverty with you, your only child drops dead. A powerful person steals your childhood dream. Your best intention does not turn out well. Everything goes from bad to worse. Suddenly, everything than can go wrong seems to go wrong. On top of overwhelming everyday issues, you begin to feel like you do not matter. Then to crown it off, the “voice” starts speaking to you. The voice tells you that you are nothing and nobody cares for you. The voice urges you to end it all and you will feel better.

My friend, does any part of what I’ve said so far describe you one way or another?

Hear me. The devil is a liar. You matter more than you can imagine. You belong here in the land of the living on earth. Your family adores you. You are loved by people you don’t even know admire you. Hold on and hang in there. In fact, stand in there. Many people wish you well. Start talking and getting it off your chest.

LIFE is tough but you are stronger, tougher, and better. You are loved. First loved by God Almighty and loved by all who know you well. People might not tell you how they feel about you, but just know you are special to plenty people around you. Whatever the crisis, we will share it and carry it with you. They call it the Village. Your village is waiting to receive you and all your issue, with love. Bring your brokenness to the table and let’s tough it out together in love. My friend, we are all we each have. We will get one another through this somehow. Don’t leave us now. Stay with us. We all love you. Allow us to show you how much we care.

The issue of suicidal thoughts and suicide is complex. More complicated than the breakdown I just described. But it does not have to happen that way. Help is around. Please SEEK OUT SOMEONE AND TALK IT OVER. GIVE LOVED ONES A CHANCE TO HELP YOU get past that moment.

Please Do Not end your beautiful life. Pray. Cry out to God. Scream and holler. Plead with the Lord for help. Do not think of ending it today. Wait for one more day. And then another. Every day, tell yourself to hold off until tomorrow. And call someone. Call me. I’m serious. Call me anytime, day or night. Wake me up no matter what time of night it is. I will get up for you. And so would many others. That is how much we love you and care about you. YOU MATTER.

Blessings and peace to you, my friend.

Your friend,

Hortense (HORTENSEInspiration Motivation with an African tinge)

Monday Morning Pearl

I wish for you the beginning of a different kind of week. One in which your thoughts will bring you solace and laughter. One in which your deeds will bring you satisfaction and your actions will yield success for you. One in which your silence will bring contentment and peace. 

#RaisetheBar.  As I wind down a momentous ten-month stay in West Africa, I think of the way our entire world is today. Negative news, anger and bitterness, arrogant leaders and poor examples of leadership in many places, decline in neighborliness, so much unhappiness globally. Enormous challenges across the board. Do not let the world lead you astray. You lead the way: one thought, one deed, one measure, one person at a time.

It is left up to you. You are the hidden pearl. It is you, my friend, who must make the difference. You must make a difference in your world by beginning to be a positive force in your space, It starts by taking a pause from your “business as usual” manner and forging an unusual method for dealing with the ongoing madness. Because you are so much greater than the prevailing trend. It is up to you to think of outstanding ways to do things differently.

#ReconcileLiberia.  As I wind down my stay this round, I ask myself, why would such a natural wonder that Liberia is be so daunting for most of its people? I could say the same of most all of Africa. The answer and prospect of change lies with you. Allow the pearl in you to shine its luster. 

So on this new Monday morning, permit your thoughts to simmer and stew for a few minutes. How can you make a difference, for real? Ponder this. You could bring a shifting in your space today. When you do, decide to keep that momentum going. I don’t know much about all of it but I do know it has to get better than it is. And I do know there has got to be a way. A different new way. That way begins with love. Love for God. Love for one another. Love for country. Love for humanity. 

God bless you in abundance. I wish for you all that you wish for yourself and all that the Lord wishes for you would come to you. In Jesus name. I love you much with a sisterly love. Stay prayerful.

Blessings and peace,

Servant Hortense D. Grimes
