🎴The Way of the Chosen; Living by Faith, Not by Force

🌞The Way of the Chosen

Summer Series; Strength in Stillness

WBJMinistries | https://wbjministry100.wixsite.com/wbjministries

📖📿🤲🏼🛐🙌🏼🙏🏼

Abba Yah, El Shaddai, we thank You for the warmth of summer, for golden sunrises and the peace of late evening breezes. As we gather in spirit, let Your Word guide us like a lantern upon our feet. May this message stir our hearts to live boldly and choose righteously, not by the sway of the world yet by the still, small voice within.

Halleluyah.

🗡️ Spiritual Story; The Armor of Choice

In the heart of an ancient land, a lone warrior stood at the edge of a sun-drenched field. He wore no name on his back, only conviction in his soul. His armor was not forged from steel alone but from decisions made in the silence of dawn. This was not a man of war, still a guardian of intention. While others waited on fate, he moved by faith. Each step he took echoed a declaration;

•“I choose to live by choice, not chance.

I choose to be motivated, not manipulated.” This warrior symbolizes each of us, standing in today’s heat, under pressure, however not broken.

🔥 Message of the Day; The Power of Conscious Living. Many walk the earth like leaves in the wind, swept from trend to trend, voice to voice, crisis to crisis. Nevertheless Yah calls us to live differently; Not as puppets, though as participants in His divine plan.

📜 Halaleyah Scriptures; > “I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed.” — Deḇarim (Deuteronomy) 30:19

> “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romiyim (Romans) 12:2

This summer, as the days grow brighter, let it symbolize the awakening of your inner warrior, not for battle against flesh, nonetheless for mastery over excuses, fear, and distraction.

🌻Symbolism & Summer Ambiance; Just as the sunflower turns its face toward the sun, so must we turn our spirits toward purpose. ☀️ The sun reminds us to shine boldly, even when clouds try to cover our confidence. 🌊 The ocean teaches us; though waves crash, we remain rooted in the Rock. 🌳 The trees show us how to grow tall by going deep first. Like the silent strength of the samurai in the image, you are being called to live by design, not default.

💬 Reflection~Ask yourself; Am I living a life I have chosen, or a life others have chosen for me? Do I chase validation or listen to Yah’s whisper in my spirit?

🙏🏾🙌🏼🛐🤲🏼📿

Yah Most High, strengthen our resolve to live wisely, not wildly. Let us hear You clearer than the noise around us. May our steps be ordered, our choices sacred, and our journey courageous. Let us not follow shadows, but walk in Your light. In Yahusha’s Name, halleluyah.

The Cluckening; Anointed, Annoyed, and Still Appointed

📸 Sermon-When the Rooster is You; A Morning Revelation

🕊️ By WBJMinistries

🌐 https://wbjministry100.wixsite.com/wbjministries

📖 🤲🏼🛐📿🙏🏼

Oh Heavenly Father Yahusha,

Let this message touch the hearts, wiggle the minds, and maybe even wake the sleeping souls like a rooster with a megaphone. Let the foolishness of man become the wisdom of heaven. And let us laugh while learning. Halleluyah! 🙌

Church, Gather 'Round! Let me tell you what the Ruach (Spirit) showed me this morning. I was deep in prayer (aka halfway awake with coffee dripping and eyelids twitching) when I saw this image. 😳🐓

A rooster. Looking STRESSED. Not just any stress, like I forgot to set my alarm and I AM the alarm kind of stress. Let me preach this; 😩 You Cannot Cluck Out of Your Calling. That rooster did not ask to be the sunrise ambassador. He did not sign up to be the barnyard alarm clock. But guess what? The Most High appointed him. 🐔📯 And YOU, yes you with the crust in your eyes and the unmatched socks, YOU are somebody’s wake-up call too! But instead of cock-a-doodle-dooing, you have been cluck-a-don’t-ing.

⚠️ Don’t run from the calling just because it feels early and ugly. 📣 Somebody is depending on your voice to rise again! 😤 Why You Look Like Monday on a Sunday? This rooster got the same face I had when I realized I tithed my grocery money, and now I gotta fast for real. 🤷🏽‍♀️💸 Yet family, hear me; Fasting or flustered, you are still favored. Tired or tenacious, the trumpet still sounds. And yes, your assignment might have you looking like your favorite gospel singer lost their voice mid-song. Still hold on! 🌄The morning comes with joy, even if your face says otherwise. 😆

🧠 The Rooster Did Not Deny Yahusha. Peter Did! Sometimes we confuse ourselves with the background characters. Just like the rooster that crowed when Peter denied Yahusha three times- Luqas- (Luke 22:60-61 🕊️), you may be a part of someone’s wake-up moment. Nevertheless do not take on their guilt. Do not wear their shame. You are the sound, not the sin.

You are the reminder, not the regret.

Let the Holy Spirit handle the rest. 🎯

🔥Beloveds, let this image be your ministry mascot today. That “had-enough” rooster energy? That is holy. That’s warfare-woke. That is ministry-before-coffee. ☕🛐

So rise. Cry loud. And when people say, “You look tired,” you say; "Naw baby, I’m just anointed and annoyed!” 😤👑🙌

🛐 🙏🏼🙌🏼📿🤲🏼

Yah, thank You for turning our exhaustion into exaltation, our clucks into calls, and our mess into messages. Let us go forth, not just as early birds, but as holy birds. Bold. Loud. Unapologetic. And maybe still a little confused. Halleluyah! 🕊️😂

The Wilderness Journey; Preparing for Your Promise

🕊️ The Wilderness Journey; Preparing for Your Promise

WBJMinistries Sermon Series

Website: https://wbjministry100.wixsite.com/wbjministries

🌄 🙌🏼🙏🏼🤲🏼🛐📿

Abba Yahusha, Creator of all, we thank You for guiding us through every desert and dwelling place. Let Your Ruach Ha'Qodesh open our hearts as we study the wilderness journey. Teach us the meaning of stillness, order, and Your sacred preparation. We release all fear and receive Your promise. In the Name of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, so be it.

– Halleluyah

🌾Introduction – The Wilderness as a Spiritual Classroom. The wilderness is not punishment. It is preparation. It strips, reveals, and aligns us.

“And you shall remember that Yahusha your Elohim led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, prove you, to know what is in your heart…”

— Debarim (Deuteronomy) 8:2, HalleluYah Scriptures.📜

🌀Spiritual Alignment Through the Chakras. The journey through the wilderness is also an inner journey, a clearing and realigning of our seven energy centers – just as Israel had to realign their hearts before entering the Promised Land.

Chakra Wilderness Symbol Meaning

Root (Muladhara) Manna & Daily Provision Trusting Yahusha for your basic needs.

Sacral (Svadhisthana) Water from the Rock Emotional flow, creative faith

Solar Plexus (Manipura) Cloud by Day, Fire by Night Willpower, divine direction

Heart (Anahata) The Tabernacle's Center Love, forgiveness, humility

Throat (Vishuddha) Moses’ Speech🗣️ Speaking truth 📢 with courage

Third Eye (Ajna) Vision of the Promise Inner wisdom, seeing Yah's plan

Crown (Sahasrara) Mount Sinai Revelation Spiritual awakening, divine connection. 📖 Sabbath Preparation in the Wilderness. Preparation Day (6th Day) was sacred. They gathered double manna so they could rest on the 7th day.

“Six days you gather it, but on the seventh day, which is the Shabbath, there is none.” — Shemoth (Exodus) 16:26.📜 The wilderness teaches obedience. Resting is trust. Sabbath is not just rest. It is rehearsal for entering the Promise.🔥Trials That Transform. In the wilderness, Yahusha proved them, not to break them but to build them.

“He afflicted you and let you hunger… to make you know that man does not live by bread alone…” — Debarim 8:3 📜

🌿 Spiritual Insight: Every “lack” is a lesson. Every delay is a divine design.

🏺Museum Symbolism & Culture

Artifacts of desert journeys, such as clay pots, sandal imprints, and scroll fragments, remind us of transience and truth. Just like ancient desert travelers, we carry stories in our footsteps. 🎨 A jar with cracks. Still used, still holding living water. Even in brokenness, you are usable.🕯️ Lessons from Other Traditions~Amadlozi (ancestral spirits in Zulu belief) remind us to honor the past as we walk forward. Buddhism teaches detachment, echoing Israel’s letting go of Egypt. Islam’s Ramadan wilderness mirrors purification. Catholic Lent mirrors Israel’s 40 years, fasting before promise. All paths teach this: the soul must empty to be filled. 🌈 A Promise Requires Preparation

The wilderness wasn’t the problem. They weren’t ready for the Promise.

“But they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His word.” — Tehillim (Psalms) 106:24📜

Before you arrive, Yah prepares you.

🪔 Sometimes, the journey is the deliverance.✨ Final Reflection

➡ Where are you resisting wilderness lessons?

➡ Are your chakras (spiritual centers) blocked by bitterness, fear, or control?

➡ Are you preparing your Sabbath heart, or still striving in the sixth day?

Don’t fight the wilderness. Walk it with Yahusha.

🙏🏽🤲🏼🛐📿🙌🏼

Ruach of Yahusha, restore balance in us, body, soul, and spirit. Open every blocked place in our hearts. Let the lessons of the wilderness soften us, align us, and prepare us. May we enter the Promise not with pride, yet with praise. In the name of Yahusha, we receive the promise with faith and preparation.

– Halleluyah.

When the Fire Fades: Rekindling Your Relationship with Yah

🕊️ WBJMinistries Sermon~ When the Fire Fades; Rekindling Your Relationship with Yah 🔥🕯️

Topic; 💔 Healing From Spiritual Burnout

Scriptures; Psalm 23, Isaiah 40:31, Ezekiel 37

🙏🤲🏼🙌🏼🛐📿

Heavenly Father Yah, we come before You weary, nevertheless willing. Ignite the fire within us once again. Heal our wounded spirits and remind us that You are close to the brokenhearted. Let Your Word be the breath that revives us today. In Yahusha's name we pray!

halleluyah. 🙌

📖 

There are seasons where our spiritual flame dims. 💭

We worship out of routine. We pray... but feel unheard.

We show up... Yet we are not present.

Whether from church hurt, disappointment, exhaustion, or isolation, many are silently burning out. 💔🕯️

📜However Yah never leaves us in ashes. He is the Good Shepherd who leads us beside still waters to restore our soul. Tellihim ~(Psalm 23:3) 🌊🐑

🔥 Recognizing the Burnout. Do you feel drained, not just physically, but spiritually? Are you avoiding prayer, scripture, or fellowship? Has church become a wound rather than a refuge?

📌Even prophets got weary. Elijah wanted to give up. But Yah sent rest, nourishment, and a gentle whisper. (1 Kings 19:4–12) 🛏️🍞💨

Burnout is not failure. It is a signal. 🚨 Your soul is calling for restoration, not rejection. 🌬️ Return to the Source of Life. 📜 Yeshayahu)-Isaiah 40:31 tells us;

> “But those who wait on Yah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles…” 🦅

The fire fades when we run on our own strength too long. Still waiting on Yah is like plugging back into the eternal power source. ⚡ Return to;

Stillness ~ Turn off the noise. Rest in His presence. 🧘‍♂️🧘🏼‍♀️ Scripture – Let His Word feed your spirit. 📖 Worship – Even when dry, let praise open the door. 🎶

Community – Find healing in honest fellowship. 🤝

💀 From Dry Bones to Living Warriors

In Ezekiel 37, Yah brings dry bones to life through His Word and Spirit.

> “I will put breath in you, and you will come to life.” 🦴💨 Your bones may feel dry... dreams dead... your flame extinguished... But Yah is breathing life into what seems lost. 🔥💫

You are not discarded. You are being restored. 🔁 Rekindle the Flame. Light a new fire by returning to your first love (Hazon)- (Revelation 2:4).❤️‍🔥Let Yah’s Spirit relight the candle of your heart. 🕯️🔥Release bitterness, forgive church wounds, and allow Yah to do a new thing in you ( Yeshayahu (Isaiah 43:19🌱

You are not just a servant~you are a child of Yah. You don’t have to perform. Just belong. 👑

🛐📿🙌🏼🤲🏼🙏🏼🕎

If you have felt far, broken, or burnt out, come home. Let Yah anoint your head with oil and restore your soul. (Tellihim -(Psalm 23:5) 🫧 You are not forgotten. You are being refined, not ruined. 💎

The fire that faded will burn again. HalleluYah. 🔥🙌

🙏🤲🏼🙌🏼📿🕎🛐

Yah, breathe on every soul feeling exhausted, distant, or wounded. Relight the sacred fire in us. Heal every scar from religion and restore true relationship. Let dry bones rise again. We receive Your strength today and rise on eagle’s wings. In Yahusha’s name

Halleluyah. 🕊️

When the Soul Cries

🕊️ When the Soul Cries The Power of a Righteous Lament

🙏🏼🙌🏼📿🛐🤲🏼

Heavenly Abba, we come before You as we are, wounded, wondering, and yet worshiping. You are the Elohim who sees in secret, who hears even the wordless groans of our hearts. As we open this message, may the Ruach Hakodesh guide us into truth, comfort, and renewed faith. Let Your light shine through even the darkest chapters of our lives. In the Name of Yahusha, amen.

📜📖 Lyob (Job) 6:2–3

> “Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together! For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.”

📖 Lyob (Job) 7:17–18

> “What is man, that You should magnify him? And that You should set Your heart upon him? And that You should visit him every morning, and try him every moment?"

📌 🕯️ Symbolism of the Broken Pot

In ancient Mesopotamian museums, we find clay vessels shattered and mended, displayed not as failures but as history, survival, and beauty through fire. Job is like such a vessel. Though shattered, he becomes the testimony.

🪔 Symbolic Visual: A cracked clay jar, glowing with firelight, not discarded, but honored. 🌍 A Global Cry of the Soul

,From the grieving rituals of the Mohegan tribe to the mourning songs of Polish Catholic grandmothers, and the chants of Buddhist monks, humanity has always cried out when life becomes too heavy to carry alone.

(IYOB's)-Job's lament is not weakness; it is sacred. Even in Islam, crying to Allah in hardship is a form of trust. In the African Amadlozi tradition, mourning is how the living speak with the ancestors, And (IYOB)-Job is speaking with Elohim, raw and unfiltered.

🗣️It is not rebellion to ask Elohim “why?” ~it is relationship. The righteous may break, but they do not fall away.

(IYOB)-Job teaches us that even silence from Elohim is not absence. He sees. He tests. He still holds. Philosophy & Sociology Tie-In; Sociologists remind us that grief, if not expressed, becomes cultural silence. Philosopher Søren Kierkegaard wrote; “The most painful state of being is remembering the future you WILL never have.” (IYOB)-Job teaches us that even crushed dreams become offerings when laid at Elohim's feet.

Modern Application📢👏🏼You may be like (IYOB)-Job right now; judged, isolated, misunderstood. You may have friends like Eliphaz who speak but do NOT see you. But Yah knows your frame. He remembers you are dust. NEVERTHELESS sacred dust, shaped by divine breath. 

🆑📕Closing Reflection; 🌬️ The wind may blow, yet the root remains. Even when your soul is tired of praying, let your silence be your song. Yahusha, the suffering Servant, understood Job’s cry and He echoes it on the stake when He says: “Why have You forsaken Me?”

In the end, Yah restores. Still today, this chapter reminds us; the cry is part of the covenant.

🙏🏼🙌🏼🛐📿🤲🏼

Abba Yah, strengthen every broken heart listening today. Let those who feel abandoned know that You are still present in the silence. Give courage to the misunderstood, grace to the weary, and divine comfort to those who mourn. Heal us, hold us, and hear us. Even in our complaints. We trust You even when we don’t understand. Halleluyah and amen.

The Danger of Stoicism

🗽Today’s NYC Chronicle; Stoicism Is Not an Option

📌On my way to the Manhattan Borough President’s Office today, I turned the corner and saw EMTs roll over what looked like a limp, frail woman. He checked her pulse. He checked it again, She tried to move but was too weak. Then he casually walked to the ambulance. No rush. No urgency. I thought, an unconscious body needs oxygen to the brain immediately. Why does it feel like trained professionals are moving slower than concerned strangers? Weeks ago, I saw the same thing on the subway. An elderly woman collapsed and the energy was... Action with concern. I expected more from trained professionals. We used to have a saying, more of a statement of purpose before "Make America great again" It was A phrase~that defined us!

👉🏾 “The American Way.”

It meant dignity, structure, compassion, strength, freedom, and action.

It meant doing what is right even when no one’s watching. Doing it from the heart. And Love for human life that built this nation 

Anyway! I kept going, dealing with an ongoing NYCHA issue. I was told to resubmit docs because the scanned PDFs weren’t clear. I offered a solution; "While I resend them, could someone just call housing management to get the process started?" He said, "Once I receive it, I will follow up." But let’s be real. If you serve the public, you should already know who your people need help from. And they should know you.

Then I went to the management office to drop off a letter about the issue, just be proactive. The front desk secretary told me to come back after lunch. I asked, “Can you just take my letter and give me a receipt?” She said no. Why not just post a sign saying you are on a lunch break? Why the barriers for basic accountability? Later, I picked up a prescription for someone. I have gotten it for years. And a crucial item was missing. I had to ask for it. Again, that same energy; some people behave as if they are doing you a favor and not their job.

I passed the State Office Building and saw flags of other countries flying alongside the U.S. flag. I believe in diversity. I believe in inclusion. But I also believe this country already has a foundation that includes everyone; civil rights, human rights, tenant protections, disability access, consumer advocacy. The American flag stands for that. Let’s not weaken our symbol in an attempt to validate what we already legally uphold.

📜The Constitution already protects EVERYONE under its laws;

🧑🏾‍🦽 Disability Rights

🏘️ Tenant Rights

🗣️ Freedom of Speech

🛑 Protection from Government Overreach

🛡️ The right to defend yourself, your family, your land

⚖️ Due process for all

We don’t need to hang ten flags to say we care. One flag represents all people when we honor what it stands for. 🇺🇸

No, I don’t support everything Trump says or does. I do support American values 💪🏾 Strong families

⚖️ Personal growth 

🧾 government

🗽 Constitutional rights

📈 Work and opportunity

However let us not act like the immigration crisis just started. This system has been broken through six presidencies. Now it’s mopping time. We ignored the spill long enough. We must turn to order, urgency, organization and principles. Because right now, systems are going rogue. Not from lack of money, but from lack of mission.

From EMTs to housing, pharmacies to policy. We must hold systems accountable. This is not just bureaucracy. This is social justice. Cultural anthropology. Geography in motion.

📣 We are better than this. America is one of the best countries on the planet. This is not criticism this is recognition!

The Silent Earthquake; Healing the Cries Within

📖 Sermon Title; The Silent Earthquake: Healing the Cries Within

By WBJMinistries

🙏🏽🛐🤲🏼🙌🏼📿

Heavenly Father, Elohim of peace, we come before you with trembling hearts. We see shadows creeping into the hearts of our children, our elders, and even into the spirit of the strong. Lift us from the miry pit of despair. Let your Ruach Ha’Qodesh breathe hope again into the dry bones of our generation. Let Your Word be the oil and balm that soothes our collective wound. In the mighty Name of Yahushua Ha’Mashiach, we pray.

Halleluyah.

📜 Scripture Reading ~ Tehillim (Psalms) 34:18 (Halleluyah Scriptures)

 “Yahusha is near to the broken-hearted, And saves those whose spirit is crushed.”

🎨 Museum Imagery & Symbolism. Imagine a museum corridor where each exhibit is a silent scream; A cracked mirror with a note beside it; “Am I enough?” A child’s hoodie lying beneath flickering neon lights, titled; “Last Seen.”

A broken hourglass, grains of sand frozen midair: “Time ran out.” These are not artifacts of ancient sorrow, but snapshots from today’s households, dorm rooms, and prayer closets.

🧠 Worldview, Philosophy, and Sociology~From a sociological lens, we face a paradoxπ technological connectivity has bred emotional isolation. In philosophy, Søren Kierkegaard once wrote; “The most painful state of being is remembering the future.”

That’s what anxiety is, fearing what has not yet come, and depression, mourning what might never be. Our youth are drowning not for lack of love, yet from too many counterfeit versions of it.

🌍 Cultural and Ancestral Symbolism. In Amadlozi traditions, ancestors speak through dreams when a spirit is unsettled. In Mohegan storytelling, the Great Turtle carries earth’s grief, layer by layer. In my Polish lineage, candles are lit not only to remember the dead however to protect the living from the darkness that circles. And in Buddhist thought; suffering is not a weakness ~ still an invitation to awaken.

So, what if this epidemic of sorrow is not a death knell, though a spiritual awakening?

🕯️ Spiritual Insight & Application. The rise in anxiety, depression, and suicide is not just a mental crisis. It is a soul cry.

We have wandered from the sacred paths; Families eat in silence. Churches echo emptier. Children are over-tested and under-heard. We must bring them back to the fire. Not just therapy nevertheless testimony. Not just pills but presence. Not just awareness nonetheless anointing.

🧪 Applied Statistics

According to the CDC (2024), suicide is now the second leading cause of death among people ages 10–34. Emergency room visits for anxiety and depression have doubled in the past decade. Beloved, we are not numbers. We are names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

📖 Scripture Reinforcement – Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 41:10 “Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not look around, for I am your Elohim. I shall strengthen you, I shall also help you...”

🔥 Call to Action (Parable Style) There once was a village where the children stopped singing. The elders wept, for they knew, without a song, a soul forgets it's purpose. Still one day, a widow lit her lamp, sang a lullaby outside her door. Soon others joined.

Not all were healed, yet none were alone.

Be that lamp.

Sing anyway.

Stand anyway.

Because even when your voice trembles, Yah hears you.

Let joy rise like dawn. Let peace be our portion. We declare victory over depression, freedom from fear, and renewal of hope. In the name of Yahushua, our Redeemer and Restorer,

Halleluyah.

🎙 Sermon Title✓The Stones We Throw€ Cancel Culture and the Fire of Discernment

The Stones We Throw; Cancel Culture and the Fire of Discernment

🕊🙏🏼🤲🏼📜⏪◀️

Heavenly Father,

You who created the stars, the silence, the sound, and the soul,

Let Your Ruach Ha’Qodesh guide us today.

Open our hearts to wisdom beyond emotion,

and our minds to discernment beyond popularity.

We seek not just truth, but balance;

As above, so below; as within, so without.

Let our words heal, not harm. Let this message be Your light.

Halleluyah.

📖 Scripture Foundation (Halleluyah Scriptures)

> “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone.” – Yoḥanan (John) 8:7

> “A fool’s displeasure is known at once, But a clever one covers shame.” – Mishlĕ (Proverbs) 12:16

> “Do not judge, that you be not judged.” –

L Mattithyahu (Matthew) 7:1

🌍 A Modern Parable: The Trial of Sevan Thorne

In a city surrounded by glass towers and noisy screens, lived a truth-seeker named Sevan Thorne. He spoke boldly, sometimes imperfectly. One day, Sevan questioned a cultural norm. Only to be dragged before the "Court of Public Opinion."

No trial. No evidence.

Just hashtags.

Just echoes.

Just rage disguised as righteousness.

Like many in our generation, Sevan wasn’t allowed to grow. He was canceled. His voice silenced. His intentions distorted.

🔮 The Chakras: A Map of Cultural Healing

Let us explore cancel culture through the lens of the Chakras, the seven spiritual energy centers, and their message of internal balance.

1. Root (Muladhara) – Safety & survival

Cancel culture creates instability, leading to fear of speaking truth. It feeds on groupthink. Survival becomes about silence.

2. Sacral (Svadhisthana) – Emotion & relationships

Emotion-driven judgments become weapons. We don’t dialogue ~we react. We unfriend before we understand.

3. Solar Plexus (Manipura) – Identity & power

Canceling gives a false sense of power. But it is power without accountability, without forgiveness.

4. Heart (Anahata) – Love & compassion

We forget; true justice includes love. Without heart, we become the same judges we once feared.

5. Throat (Vishuddha) – Voice & truth

Truth requires space. Yet cancel culture chokes dialogue~we stop listening. We stop evolving.

6. Third Eye (Ajna) – Wisdom & insight

To cancel is easy. To discern is divine. Statistics show that mass outrage often lacks factual foundation.

7. Crown (Sahasrara) – Unity & purpose

Canceling isolates, while the Spirit calls us to oneness. “He who falls seven times shall rise again,” says the wisdom of faith.

🏛️ Anthropology & Sociology: The Cultural Mirror

University lessons in cultural anthropology taught us that cultural relativism demands we understand before we judge. Cancel culture often violates this.

From the Rana Plaza collapse to Cambodian sweatshops, we saw how global systems marginalize, then scapegoat. However mass outrage without change or education is hollow.

We protest, then forget.

We cancel, then scroll on.

Sociologically, this is a moral panic~group behavior driven by fear. Though fear is not a fruit of the Ruach.

“For Elohim has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.” – 2 Timotiyos (Timothy) 1:7

📊 Statistics & Discernment

Cancel culture affects livelihoods.

Studies show over 60% of people have self-censored in fear of backlash.

Minority voices~ironically~are often the ones silenced by the very culture claiming to defend them.

Hypothesis testing~like in my MAT 240 course~shows we must test assumptions with evidence, not emotion.

🖼 Museum Symbolism; A Nation’s Memory

In the Metropolitan Museum, we see artifacts shattered by past societies~statues torn down by cultural purges, stories erased. Still history without restoration repeats itself.

Cancel culture is not new.

Only the tools have changed.

Let us be restorers, not wreckers.

🙌🏾 Call to Action: What Shall We Do?

Speak boldly, but wisely.

Let truth be spoken with grace, not venom.

If someone falls, guide them. Don’t destroy them.

Engage culture as Sevan Thorne would; through parables, peace, and persistence.

As a minister, as a student, as a child of the Most High, my assignment is not to join the mob, nonetheless to stand in the gap.

Abba Yahusha, Heavenly Father 

Let our tongues be guided by compassion, not chaos.

Let our hearts be warriors for truth, nevertheless never executioners without mercy.

Help us balance justice with humility, and wisdom with love.

As we walk in the path of discernment, protect our energy, align our spirit, and ground our soul.

May our ministries build, not burn.

May our voices lift, not silence.

And may Sevan Thorne within each of us rise;refined, not erased.

Halleluyah.
