What could the Lord Say about Africa?

Tuesday, 26 July 2005

I wrote my piece on AFRICA yesterday, 25 July 2005.

Today, 26 July, I received this mail from a minister friend who wanted me to explain to him what it might mean. He did not know that I write about Africa. Read for yourself and draw your own conclusions.

"What Are These Hurricanes?"

by David Dreiling

Last Sunday, July 10th, on the day Hurricane Dennis
made landfall I asked the L-rd, "What's with all these
hurricanes?"

To my amazement He instantly responded to my question.
He said, "It's all about Slavery".

"What?" I inquired?

The L-rd simply explained to me that the hurricanes in
question all form off the west coast of Africa and
wreak havoc only upon those territories that were
originally built through the institution of slavery.
It became clear to me that all the Caribbean islands
and the states of the Deep South -- Florida, Georgia,
and the Carolina's were all built on the backs and
blood of West African slaves. I had never looked at
things that way before.

Repentance for Devastation

I asked the L-rd what He wanted me to do with the
information, and he told me to send out a trumpet call
for the Church to repent for the devastation and
brokenness wrought on African nations through slavery;
and to call for our born-again national leaders to
consider seriously our debt to the lives and manpower
of African Nations and their forced contribution to
our prosperity.

I prayed further about these things and asked the
L-rd, "Why now?"

This is the same time frame that the G8 leaders were
discussing the issue of African poverty in Scotland.

I realize that there has been much interracial
repentance and reconciliation. Notwithstanding G-d was
highlighting a completely different issue here. It is
repentance from our nation to the nations and peoples
currently in poverty and distress in Africa. It is
owning up to our wrongdoing -- not just to Black
people in America but to those who were left behind in
Africa with shattered families and devastated
communities.

It's NOT About Money

Make no mistake; this is not about money or the need
of G-d Almighty to "extort" finances out of Western
nations for Africa by hurricanes. Rather it is a
spiritual dynamic that G-d is after and His plans and
purposes for the revelation of His mercy in Africa
still remain largely hidden, although it is clear that
revival appears to be sweeping the continent.

Accordingly, I call out to the Church to take the lead
and rise up in prayer to stand united in repentance
before G-d, by declaring our sins in receiving and
prospering off the lives and slaughter of the almost
50,000,000 slaves transported to the New World from
Africa.

As a Jewish man, I repent of my Jewish brethren's role
in not standing up in opposition to slavery but rather
owning slaves and prospering from the horrible wasting
of their lives.

I pray that this word would find its way into the
hands and hearts of those to whom G-d has raised up in
government and given authority to repent on behalf of
our nation. I pray that those with G-d-given authority
throughout the Caribbean nations would be so moved.

I believe that it is in G-d's heart that reparations
be made at this time.

Africa is on G-d's heart.

In a time of judgment as evidenced by weather
patterns, G-d is sending a word of wisdom for
repentance.

The final thing G-d spoke to me that Sunday, was a
promise that if our leaders will accept this place of
repentance, He will stop the devastation wrought by
the string of recent hurricanes.

Repentance is easy. It s amazing that with this simple
heart attitude, by the stunning power of Yeshua's
blood, so great an evil can be forgiven, and its
effects on future generations broken.

G-d is good!

In Yeshua's service,
