Lions Daughter...part 2

From The Rastafari Expression,
A regular column by Kaya I IsesaJah, Jan 07, 2006         

So here are my beliefs now, according to my trod, according to which I have read, and my experiences with the Lutheran church and paganism.

❧ There is only One God, Jahovah, Father of all Creation; bearer of all good things.

❧ God's intent for us was and is to enjoy Everlasting Life, and we will if we follow HIM.

❧ If you are not with God, you are against HIM.

❧ The enemy of God and His followers is, Satan; the bearer of wickedness, sinfulness and death.

❧ Jahovah despises the exaltation of anyone, anything or any other god.

❧ Yeshua is not a god or God incarnate. Yeshua is spoken of as "The Son of Man", "My son whom I am pleased", the upholder and fulfiller of The Law, the pure one who was sacrificed for all sins, the conqueror of sin and death, and the one who holds the key to the Kingdom.

I also know:

❧ Christanity has omitted Jahovah's name in their worship; yet invoking His name is a very powerful.

❧ Christanity has exalted the name of Jesus over God's name and this goes against the Law giving to Moses.

❧ Christanity has conveyed The Word to the masses; just as sweet. But in reality The Word is "bittersweet".

❧ Christanity focuses more on the "Good News", the New Testament, and discredits certain things in the Old Testament. But Jah is the same from Beginning through the End.

❧ Christanity upholds more so to "church doctrines", which are not the teachings found in the Scriptures.

❧ Christdom has rejected "people of color" in contributing to the Royal Blood Line of Yeshua and to all the descendants of the world. By bombarding us with Biblical imagery with Caucasian intent, which are geographically and Biblically inaccurate.

❧ Christdom has tried to shut out, various cultures and races, from our rightful inheritance, through enslavement, murder and annihilation, all in "the name of God".

❧ The book of Revelation warns us about the "churches".

❧ The Word warns us about religious leaders. Yeshua's documented life indicates this also.

and: ❧ Haile Salassie I is a descendant of King Solomon and The Queen of Sheba. To say otherwise is like saying Solomon did not like woman. I recognize Haile Salassie I, only as a descendant of God's Royal Blood Line, not as a god incarnate, Yeshua or Yeshua incarnate. I firmly believe if I exalt his name other than Jah's, I would be in violation of breaking The Law of Moses.

Personally, Rastafari to me means- The unveiling of the Truth in all things and leaning on Our Creator as Our Comforter and Strength as we bear these Truths. I see Rastafari in these similarities "the cornerstone which the builders refused" and "a witness to all the nations". Jah has placed in Rastifari, a determined Spirit, the Spirit to seek all things which are hidden. Rastafari uses the Foundation of His Holy Word, His Will and His Way to understand history and the world around. It is uncovering the things that are truly blinding us and keeping us and humanity, away from The Father of All Creation and Eternal Life. Rastafari exposes the lies that have been told. Lies that are intentionally placed on/in society, (in religion, news, history, politics, goverment, values, economics, science, art) by the influence of Satan. For the only purpose to damn our souls and to give power to the Serpent. Even though the roots of Rastafari has been birthed from a place I have never been and from peoples I would never truly know their sufferings. I know Jah Rastafari is real and these things are true for all the wonders, miracles and blessings He has given to unworthy me.

Even though the Spirit is strong, and the flesh is weak, I admit I don't feel like I do enough for Rastafari. Of course I speak of Jah and His Wonders and His Truths in my dealings with people. Hard as it is, I try to uphold My Fathers teachings and Yeshua righteous life, because I want the land of milk and honey.......a land with no suffering (we all deserve that!), and I want the people that I meet, my friends, my family to come to. So hopefully, they will see Jah's Light in me, by me only obeying HIM. Yet there are so many things that Jah has been&still inspiring me to do. Truly my cup runneth over in visions and inspirations by Jah's Holy Spirit, and in order to have them all manifested, I would probably have to quit my job and devout myself full-time to these projects. I am praying and listening to how I can work these things out, to be a more active vessel than what I am now. The things that I have done and still aspired to do, deal with; clothing for the Rasta, painting walking sticks/objects, actual paintings, writing and song writing, dj Reggae music and charity work. Of course working FT and rearing two little ones doesn't give a lot of breathing room for creativity. But I have been given the duty as mother, Daughter of Zion, to set a solid foundation for them. It is important they know who their Protector/Jah is, and what to expect in the world and not to fear it. In other words, in this point of time, Jah is calling me to water my sprouts.

I think my children's future and the future in itself, is going to experience much more hardships than now. There will be more sufferation, more "survival of the fittest", more blood shed, and more crying. More hate, more wars, more heathenism, more perversions and more poverty. Rastafari will continue to witness to the nations and touching people therein. But the devils and his followers will always deceive the peoples, that Rastafari are cultist and the false prophet......until Jah Kingdom comes.

Blessed love to Sister Kaya for thy wonderful inspiration!

Peace in love to you all in the name of Jah Rastafari!

May we chant and dance together in Zion!

Peace always.

This is just some things I made with the paint program. The Star is most representative of I. It is I vision of the Star of David, Jah's Light and Hope. I have hand painted/drawn this design (and have elaborated it) onto clothes, walking sticks and drawings. Blessings Always!
