Thoughts From Jackie: “Making You the Smartest Person in the Room: The Meaning of the Resurrection“

Thoughts From Jackie: “Making You the Smartest Person in the Room: The Meaning of the Resurrection“

I’m trying to be good here and keep some of my knowledge to myself today. I celebrate the resurrection of Jesus daily not according to the stars.  There were 4 major beatings Jesus went through before He died. I may post my teaching on this later today. Beatings 2&3 are the most vicious beating anyone has ever received from other humans (Isaiah 52:14). What’s most significant is beating #4 (Matthew 27:45-46). This is God’s judgement/wrath being poured out for every...

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Righting the Story: Black Europeans”

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Righting the Story: Black Europeans”

I try but just can’t get over how prevalent Black folks are in European history. The effort to bury their presence & contributions required not just leaving them out of the story, but a steady diet of lying. Moving out of the Dark Ages into the Renaissance in music, dress, travel, art, architecture, science, and so much more was birthed by Black minds and shared across Europe.

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Righting the Story: Saint Maurice & Rome”

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Righting the Story: Saint Maurice & Rome”

“Saint Maurice was the leader of the legendary Roman Theban Legion in the 3rd century, and one of the favorite and most widely venerated saints of that group. He was the patron saint of several professions, locales, and kingdoms.” Wikipedia

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Righting the Story: The Blacker the Berry the Sweeter the Juice”

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Righting the Story: The Blacker the Berry the Sweeter the Juice”

“Righting the Story” You know I can do this all day long. I can tell stories like the one below all day long. While Bridgerton is a made up story the theme isn’t that far from the truth. I can prove in scripture that although a blonde blue-eyed woman is supposed to be today’s standard, that was not the case in the Bible. The Ethiopian, Shebite, Medianite, Hittite, & other blacker the berry sweeter the juice Black women were the...

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Righting the Story: Good Trouble”

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Righting the Story: Good Trouble”

As archeology was becoming a real science wonderful declarations were being made about the superior intelligence of the early Egyptians (Mizraim- Gen. 10:6). Math, architecture, science, and much more were being attributed to this advanced society. Archeologists also discovered these people were the same Black people that they were now enslaving. What were they going to do about this new revelation? The people they were stealing from their homes and calling savages descended from the same people they were saying...

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “ Your Past Matters None”

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “ Your Past Matters None”

Although Rahab may have been a harlot God still used her to help His people. Although Rahab may have been a prostitute she saved her family from disaster. Although Rahab was a whore the Bible mentions her in several places, but most importantly this Canaanite (Black) woman is mentioned in Jesus’ bloodline. It doesn’t matter what your past is because God can erase your past and create a memorable future.  Joshua 2:1-4 NASB. Then Joshua the son of Nun sent...

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Jesus is Coming & He’s Black”

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Jesus is Coming & He’s Black”

I think there will be a great falling away as White people come to know the truth about Jesus’ Black heritage. It sadly shouldn’t matter, but it will. So much has rested on the false version it will just be to much for some White folks. The more grounded a person is will determine if the Holy Spirit is allowed to rule the heart. The truth of Jesus’ Black origin can be found just studying the wonderful women in Matthew...

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Right the Story: Jesus”

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Right the Story: Jesus”

“Right the Story: Jesus” It’s overdue for this image to be destroyed. This false image is Cesare Borgia. He was Pope Alexander IV illegitimate son. He was an evil man that for centuries has had his image falsely used as our savior. For those who say it doesn’t matter, I say it sure mattered to those who purposely removed Jesus’ Black identity. Jesus looked nothing like this image (Rev. 1:14-15), but this image has been used to enslave, colonize, kill,...

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Son of Who: Cushi?” (Zephaniah 1:1 Cushi = Cushite)

THOUGHTS FROM JACKIE: “Son of Who: Cushi?” (Zephaniah 1:1 Cushi = Cushite)

So many Black people reject the Bible as “The White Man’s Gospel.” Just knowing a few words makes Black people jump off the pages of the Bible. Sadly, some Black folks are rejecting what represents their history. There are multiplied thousands of Black individuals in scripture. Finding Black folks in scripture is so liberating. When God Himself uses Black skin to define beauty I think we should listen (Isaiah 18:1-2). In Isaiah 18 God says the people of Ethiopia/Cush are...
