As long as calamity is not knocking at our door; we have a unique way of showing how concerned we are for those who are facing some form of tragedy. In reading this article all I would ask of you "is that for a few moments, to please take off your political/religious caps, and let's soberly think as Bahamians"

The two most influential forces in this country (Politics and Religion) has dealt this nation a vicious dividing blow. To the point that The Bahamas is literally falling apart due to crime and corruption which has rendered these two leading forces powerless and has given a negative view of law and order in the eyes of the people.

How is it that this small, once beautiful Bahamas could have such a high murder rate; whereby two-three murders are occurring in a week, in little Nassau. And Baha-mians are going to sleep and waking up the next morning with the casual mindset of "Well, it's just another one gone?"

Here's the two-fold interesting dynamics that're at work in this Bahama Drama:

(1) 80-90 percent of the Bahamian legislators are attorneys (Crimi-nal, Corporate, etc;) and if there is a set of people who know the pros and cons of the law; it's these legislators. The crime detection rate and apprehension of alleged criminals by the Royal Bahamas Police Force has al-ways been very high.

But the criminals always seems to have the upper hand on the Police no matter the evidence; by hiring the very best defence attorneys/law firms (The Bahamian LEGISLATORS) to manipulate the judicial system to their advantage.

Case in point: how can over 100 persons charged with murder be out on bail and others that are charged with lesser offences be remanded? Answer: the remanded offenders' (if they had legal representation) attorneys/law firms were not connected to the LEGISLATORS.

The politicians have got the grassroots Bahamians right where they want them (between a rock and a hard place), and despite the havoc that's being wreaked upon the grassroots; they refuse to see their beyond politics.

This level of politics is so well orchestrated in that the people will passionately de-fend and argue as to under which government (PLP or FNM) the most murders occurred.

It's something like this! Can you see the PLP's or the FNM's giving high fives to each other saying "We've only had 50 murders this year" What I would say to these die-hard PLP's and FNM's is this "Would you still be celebrating and giving high fives if your sons and daughters, mothers and fathers were among the 50 murdered victims?

Bahamians, PLEASE WAKE THE HELL UP, and stop playing politics with the future of our country.

Watch this!

(2) I'm at liberty to speak as the Holy Spirit leads; therefore I'm not subjected to any religious leader/denominations nor to any political party. So with that being said. If this Cap Fits you; then you wear it.

The Bahamas is filled with powerless religious leaders (Bishops, Apostles, Doctors, etc;) who know the word of God, but not the God of the word. This is nothing new or strange as throughout the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, there were religious leaders who were deceiving and fleecing their naïve followers and distorting the truth of God's word as is being done today.

There is not a community in The Commonwealth of The Bahamas that doesn't have at least two or three churches; yet the kingdom of darkness and the criminal forces reign in these communities.

Through ignorance and the displeasure of being exposed and called out; many religious leaders and those of a religious mindset would quickly adopt the view that I'm attacking the church; whereas absolutely nothing could be further from the truth.

But rather it's the Holy Spirit that is exposing the organized religion of man that has worked its way into the church.

The religion that Father Yahweh accepts and takes note of is this: James 1:27. "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

Here are some defiling religious tactics of today's church:

(1) The constructing of shrines/big buildings – places of worship and calling them "The House of God"

(2) Religious leaders competing against each other in the writing of their motivational books that include a few scripture verses and the television broadcast competition of Ministries

(3) Annual money making religious conferences, semi-nars, workshops, etc; where attendees are al-most compelled to purchase speaker's products (Books, Tapes, CD's Videos,)

(4) The promoting/lifting up and idolatrous worship of the religious leaders as their photos and images are on display throughout their churches.

During Yeshuwa Messiah (a.k.a. Jesus the Christ) ministry the religious leaders were the ones who hated and despised him most. If He was to walk the earth today His greatest adversaries would not be the drug dealers, the prostitutes, the gang members, etc; but instead He would face even greater opposition from the religious leaders. Seeing that, He's not a Baptist, an Anglican, a Catholic or any of the other denominations and His message would be that of truth and not today's twisted prosperity gospel.

The high murder rate, the blatant disregard for law and order, the deterioration of the family structure and morals are the by-products of the anti-Christ spirit of which man's organized religions are powerless.

Father Yahweh is raising up a generation in The Bahamas that will not bow or conform to the religions or religious leaders of today.

This generation will not seek to have their name and titles highlighted but rather they will be true servants of God to His people. These are the ones that He will use to rebuke/cast-out demonic spirits, heal the sick and raise the dead.
