The Birth of a Pastor Good Morning Beloved it has been a long time since I have penned a message but know if was because I did not want to it was because God was working on me in areas to build me up and areas to shed away. I was back on the potter’s wheel. Well I am thankful to be this new vessel and I look forward to the next change in outer shell because this means another layer has been taken off, I have matured to another level in God and I am closer to him who created me from a bone from the side of man and his still sweet breath of life. I am thankful today as he reminds me that I was his and he chose me from the beginning of time for a job that is strange and once taboo for me to do. I rejoice because he reminds me of the story of when he used a bush, ass and a wall to speak through that he can use anyone or thing he chooses to the bring the message of his Good News. The Good News of him leaving his Divine form to fill the flesh of man, being born of a virgin, walking, teaching and preaching among the lost to give another chance at eternal life, dying on a cross for a cause he was determined to support (shedding his precious and powerful blood for a creation that was not at all worthy), going down to the depths hell and taken the keys and death’s sting away for their owner, the rising from the dead to fulfill the law that we may have eternal life, and ascending to heaven to take his rightful place on his throne to rule forever more. He showed this to me this morning for those times when I am told women can’t be preachers or pastors; you’re not qualified for the job, etc... I can say to them you probably are right on all accounts because God is ready so I have no other choice but to humble myself and say yes Lord. I also know that by myself I can’t do anything but with Jesus I can do all things through him that strengthens me (Philippians 4:13). I know that when I pass through the waters, he will be with me, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when I walk through the fire, I will not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon me (Isaiah 43:2). I know I have been chosen (Matthew 12:18-21) for such a time as this but this thought had to leave my mind and reach and saturate my heart because I had lost my confidence. But beloved today he showed me my past, present and future all in (Matthew 1). He showed me that I was birth in a long lineage of strong and powerful men and women of God and valor and that they too were afraid sometime but the Holy Spirit was with them leading and guiding them; undergirding and giving them courage, encouragement, endurance and strength as he will do for me in those valley days and mountaintop experiences if I stand fast and be unmovable trusting in his plan even when it don’t look like I would have it to look like, or it doesn’t fit my plan because he is able. Then he showed me that I was conceived, called, chosen and used irregularly but purposed by the Father himself not man and lastly he showed me that from me will be birth many mini me’s sons and daughters that will take the Gospel throughout the world and plant seeds, water seeds so he can give the increase. Beloved I don’t apologize for such a long message today because it was penned in love and came from the very depths of my soul. It was bottled us so when the Father was asked to stir up the gift it just begin to flow like living water. God Bless Elder Tonja Williams and remember that no matter what anyone say God has the last laugh. Happy Thanksgiving 2009

Hello Ms. Williams, Jesus was a Jewish man and he came to the house of Israel to reform their uncivilized behavior among themselves. They had regressed from how well Moses had civilized them. In addition, the Bible is only the testimony of the Jewish people to the world of how God has helped them in their troubles with other race of people and personally helped them as well. What we should want from God is a prophet similar to Moses that would lead us into sovereignty or complete independence on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders. Dr. King alluded to this happening when he mentioned in his last speech that we as a people would get to the Promised Land. Jesus is not your prophet. God always matches the race of the Prophet to the race of his people. For instance, Moses was Israelite and he was matched to the children of Israel. David was an Israelite and he was matched to the people of Israel. Do you understand the precedence of God and how God works in humanity? In addition, Prophet Mohammed was an Arab man and he was matched to the Arabian people. Common sense should tell you that your prophet would be as you are, a Black American. In other words, you should never expect that God would send a Chinese prophet to Japanese people. That just does not make any sense at all and is entirely out of order to how God has done things throughout the ages. Intelligence is not one of Black America’s disciplines. I am the way. I am Black America’s first genuine prophet that would make us into a viable people. Tell me what you think.

Mr. Watley, As a pastor in the Lord's Church, preaching and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ it is my responsibility to plant the seed of Good News that Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, Lord of Lord, He is sovereign all by him self. He died for our sins, shed his blood on Calvary’s cross and he went into hell and took the keys that operate the gates (the entry point because there is no exit point) stole death's sting so they would not have any power over us. That he arose from the dead and ascended into heaven on the third day to sit on the right (position of power and honor) of God the Father. Also it took me some time to respond because I had to be release by the Father to speak because some things are lawful but not expedient. With that said I must tell you that if you were a true prophet you would only be confirming what thus says the Lord and in what you have said, I only see a few facts and they are that Jesus is not my prophet. You are right about that he is not my prophet or anyone else’s prophet. He is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, The rose of Sharon, The great and morning star, He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, He is the Great I am. I admonish you to experience him for yourself to day and use the gift that he has allowed you to so carelessly self proclaimed and use to be used for the good of the Kingdom of God who said there is no other God that should be worship, honored or put before him. Confucius can't do anything; Buddha can't do anything nor can Mohammed because they are all either men of human flesh or statue that does not respond. Jesus was a Jewish man but he was more than that just by his birth alone. Now where I have a problem with what you have written is you promoting division when God himself promote oneness, "One God, One Body of Christ, One Book, One way to him, one path which is narrow and One Kingdom with one King." Next God never sends a prophet of a different race to another race I beg to differ because God used a wild ass to deliver a word to a prophet that would not heed his word if that is not a different race I don't know what is. God is sovereign and can send whoever he wants to whomever he wants because he has no respect for persons. Now Jesus came to fulfill the law and to reconnect the people to eternal life and open the door for us Gentiles to be awarded the same opportunity to have eternal life and a right relationship to Christ, if you want to say that is to reform the Israelites of their uncivil behavior then so be it but is was all for the redemption of all of our sins. His word says that he did not come to the well, the knowing but to the lost and to the sick to heal the land and to fulfill the law. I also disagree with you saying that intelligence is not one of Black America's disciplines if this was the case we would not have as many black doctors, lawyers, teachers, preachers, inventors, astronauts, dentists, military officers, congressman and women, parents, business owners, authors, writers, play writes, directors etc... This opportunity is afforded to everyone if they stop looking at their environment and look beyond their problems and their “What I can't do's”, and look to God who desires everyone to live life more abundantly. If they would look to the hill which comes their help they would find the answers to all their needs because he said he would supply all our needs according to his riches in glory. If they would look beyond their four walls of their ghetto apartment and see that God has a plan for them and if they would only ask they would have; if they would only seek they would find; if they would knock the door would be open that is his promise. His word says that heaven and earth will pass away before his word would return to him void therefore he can not lie or take back a promise. It is up to us to do our part to tell his story to all nations so that they would have a life changing experience and encounter with the Father also to show them that they to can have a more abundant life if they walk in the will of God. He says that he will never leave us not forsake us so I trust that and I am doing my part to spread this word. I am from a long line of intelligent black men and women so I can allow you to tear down my race because as you do that you are also tearing yourself down and God because you are black so if you are a prophet is it your job to tear down even more what has already been turned down or is it to warn and then offer a solution? You are not the way because again there is only one way that is Jesus Christ. The Fathers says that he is the way the truth and the life. It says that in the beginning word was with God and it says that Jesus is the word so if this is true then He is the only way and he could not be a prophet but the Divine himself. I could go on but I think from what I have written you know what I believe not what I think because his word says that his thoughts are not our thoughts nor is his ways our ways. So I say to you repent, humble yourself and turn from your wicked ways and receive Jesus Christ as your personal saviour today while you still can because there is going to come a time when it will be too late. His word says that we should seek his face while it is still day while we yet can because when darkness fall it will be too late. My prayer for you this day is that God show you just like he did to Saul on the road to Damascus before he became Paul and that is to reveal himself to you in a way that there will be no more doubt in you mind, heart and soul who his is and who you are. False prophets died for telling lies and untruth so right in the mist of telling their lies. There are stiff wages to pay for being a false prophet. I hope that you humble yourself now and not receive this wage because the wages of sin is death (physically, mentally, or spiritually) however God choose. So I end with this Choose ye this day whom you will serve because a man can not serve two masters either he will serve the one and hate the other. Choose life the door has been open to you. With the Lord on my side and the agape love of Jesus Christ I extend to you this open door that is before you and ask you to walk in Amen.
