LET IT GO by TJ JAKES (Excerpt message sent to me via email)

By T.D. Jakes
There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.

Let them go.
And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.. You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something.. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye.. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!

WHILE WE SLEEP.....

THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN MANY MONTHS AGO.  I BELIEVE IT IS WORTH POSTING AGAIN.  A GROUP OF THUGS WANT TO TAKE AWAY OUR FLAG:  remove it from classrooms.    THIS COMES UNDER THE GUISE OF BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT.  WHILE WE SLEEP, IN THE DULDRUMS OF COMPLACENCY, WE ARE SLOWLY LOSING OUR NATION ---REMEMBER:  One Nation under God......!  Or, no Nation at all.

The Road Less Traveled


In a recent Poll, one third of the Nation can't decide if they want Government-Run Healthcare. Do they recognize something amiss? The real issue is freedom!

In what little Congress has released, we recognize the attempt of a socialistic takeover. The elitist Government does not believe we are intelligent enough to own our freedom. The intellectual elite think they know best.

We must choose a side. This does not mean we choose a political party. It means we vote! If those in office listen to us and represent the best of our Constitution, vote them "In." If they ignore us, vote them "out." Vote while you can. If we do not make a decision, then others will make it for us.

An editorial written in the Russian language Pravda news states that we will go down into slavery with the sound of a free man's "whimper."1 While we live in denial, the world watches. The gentlemen from Russia believes "the world will only snicker" as we succumb.

Either way we choose, it seems our Nation is headed for a Civil War. As we are a Nation of many philosophies and creeds, in the end, we need to come together under on vision. Where there are two visions, one must die.

Will we continue to be passive and cower in fear? Will we be overcome by a Marxist government? Or, will we stand up for what is right? Our decision affects all. It will determine the future of our Nation. We stand at the point our forefathers stood. They fought the fight for the vision set before them. Some called them "mobs" and "traitors." Others called them "heroes."

Even God waits for us to choose life or death?....blessings or curses? Ask, "What are the principles involved when it comes to freedom? Will we remain, "One Nation under God"? Will that, too, be erased?

I want to face my grandchildren, knowing I fought the good fight and leave them with a future filled with hope. Yes, I am afraid at what I see developing. However, peace at any cost ceases to be peace. If we allow the systematic deconstruction of our Nation and give socialism its roots, we will not have peace nor will we have freedom.

Shakespeare once said, "A coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero only one." I pray I choose the road less traveled. ---to join the brave who surrendered their life for a God fearing Nation. I will stand at the crossroads with resolute decision, and, say with Patrick Henry, "I know not what others may choose, but, as for me, give me liberty or give me death."2
