ENSHACKLED
ENSHACKLED BLACK AND WHITE
Shackles fetter more than the body. The mind is captive too.
To be free is to be true to yourself, as God made you to be, without regard to wicked constraints, or their sequel, that may have been imposed upon your mind or body or both by any form enslavement.
Black people were not the only slaves in America, nor the most numerous. White people, whose minds are, or were, enslaved by the lying, unnatural doctrine of vapid white supremacy, were enslaved by its toxins, as surely as were blacks!
This explains how a white man like Ryann Storm Roof, at only age 21, could coldly, maliciously slaughter nine innocent worshippers at the renowned Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, in Charleston, South Carolina, during a prayer meeting just last year!
His mind was enslaved by evil. Evil is everywhere around us, like good. Both are of God, says Isaiah 45:7.
God is the source of everything. It is for us, in our peristyle, to discern and to apply the munificence most apt to us as humans living on earth.
