Righteous Foundations

I have not published any writings since my mother passed away in April of 2022, and rightly so. I miss her every day and my life is not the same without her.  Perhaps one day I will write about her. Nonetheless, the Lord has been dealing with me regarding my assignment in communications and media.  It is time for me to begin releasing content again and maybe it is a time of resurrection for you too, if you have been in a season of grieving or loss of any kind. 

Joshua and I were already in the process of another life-changing transitioning when Mom suddenly passed away and we didn’t hold back from pursuing The Lord. By now, almost everything in our lives has completely changed within the last year and it has been wonderful and hard all at the same time. God has used every moment to teach, train, and bless our lives in so many ways. We are growing!!

I am so often the intense and serious one among my peers, go figure, but I just can’t begin this new chapter without first re-establishing the foundation on which I write. Not that I consider myself to be a big fish in the sea by any means, but if I felt I was influencing anyone before I believe it now also. Since 2020, the whole earth has changed and The Lord is transforming His people and opening our eyes in the areas where we have been blinded to who He is. I felt His impression upon me to apologize to any and all of my friends who may have been negatively affected, confused, or wrongly excited with zeal by my communications in the last season regarding our nation. If I am to come out of the proverbial cave and begin to release Biblical truths again, it is necessary that I go back and make certain that the foundation I am building on is Christ. There is no purpose in my life apart from Him.

So, I want to apologize for vehemently defending a nation (with Scripture), which has obviously and persistently violated the principles of God, and then expected Him to rescue us from the consequences of those choices. Just like Israel, even though they were divinely chosen by God and so very special to His heart, when a nation violates The Lord’s principles and ways on a continual basis and then calls on a righteous individual or prophet to deliver them, it is completely out of God’s order (See Ezekiel 13-14). Yes, Scripture does reveal that God is faithful to raise up deliverers (and we have a remnant of God’s Presence-filled people all over the earth right now, carrying out this great commission), but it is generally in the midst of suffering. 

I read something recently that baffled me, in Ezekiel 14:14. It says,

“Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in the land, they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness says the Lord God”. 

This phrase is repeated FOUR times within seven Scriptures, with little variation, dealing with the persistent unfaithfulness of a nation as they are also experiencing at least four levels of disaster- sword, famine, wild beasts, and pestilence. Even the most righteous among us cannot save our nation (Romans 4) from the willful decisions we have repeatedly made to go in the wrong direction. Yet, God promised Ezekiel a REMNANT whose “ways and doings” would bring comfort to the land and would reveal that God was not unjust.

Isaiah 54 speaks of the affliction upon God’s people and yet in the midst of them remain His generational promises, kindness, mercies, and His covenant of peace. 

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me, says the Lord.”

The chapters that follow bring numerous corrections to God’s people and a rediscovery of God’s ways that reveal His path and good intentions in the earth for all of creation.

This rediscovering of God’s ways and doings seen all throughout Scripture will be what I endeavor to publish about as I move forward. When we know God and His principles and designs for living, and we walk in them on a continual basis, we can circumvent disaster and we release and reveal His comfort and justice in the midst of contradiction and suffering and we have opportunity to bring His good news to the poor! I will continue to pray for our nation and its leaders, but my heart has shifted to labor for the Kingdom of Heaven in practical ways and to see measurable transformation in the state of Alabama and the metron around me.

My second book is in the works though it has been on hold for some time now. The Lord is still speaking about making whole all things in the home and ministering through the home. These writings will be coming from a place of experience in my life- where I have lived and labored for more than a decade (making many mistakes and learning so much) as well as the second portion of the scroll of Nehemiah. It’s all about the family tree and generational keys of the Kingdom. I pray that what is to come forth and all other portions of my ministry will be a blessing to you all in the days to come, as one without shame who correctly explains the Word of Truth.

Much Love,

Jamie
