Redlining whose fault is it really?

 

Redlining didn’t just shape neighborhoods—it shaped emotional landscapes, too. For African American youth, its legacy has contributed to depression through a cascade of systemic harms that touch every part of life. Here’s how: There are many factors to this starting with Mental health from environmental stressors, underfunded schools, and limited opportunities. Over-Policing and Criminalization, Housing Instability with family stress. We carry over intergenerational trauma and wealth gaps, along with data that many ignore.

Hello, my name is Suprina Firewalking Edwards and this blog isn't for everyone but it has a clear message on why I fight to do better and why our children who have been in foster care has been not only done unfairly by not being able to have healthy parents but how they are aged out of foster care with not much of an identity of who they really are. I found myself crying as I was writing a proposal of what I am aiming to reach and how much harm I have done to my own children, and what my parents have done to me. 

However, many would harper on depression, giving up, carrying hate, unforgiveness and more but that's not what this blog is all about. It's about family values that never leave some of us that we must pass to the next generation. I don't know who this is for, but I know this is a powerful message not just to those who will read it but to myself and the reason it's so important for me to draw closer to God and remember to resist the devil that he may flea before all things come together. I cried and asked God why do people see us wrong for standing for our truth that has been covered for so many years? Why do we have to be silent about our past, our present and our tomorrow. I realize we don't for those that have discovered the truth not only in their faith but in their history that seems to bother many. I am transitioning into my full potential, my purpose, my wealth on many levels and to my surprise I have actually been wealth all my life but didn't know how to embrace it because my elder chose to bow to the gods that have no soul. They chose to be quiet when they should have spoken up and this generation has chose not to. Yet many still need help in who they are. I pray that as I continue to do these blogs, I give you plenty to think about and stop blaming your past and take your future, your now by the God given authority as led by the MOST HIGH GOD. Be strong and of good courage there is a future when you're not fronting. 

Sincerely,

Suprina Firewalking Edwards

Times are changing

 

Focused as I think about the times we are in and how fast this year has been moving. When I use to think of time I thought with anxiety, fear, sadness, depression. Let me add with feeling like nothing was ever going to change for me or my family.

Today I have hope, thoughts of possibilities, family, love and more that the Lord has actually granted me. Yet I could never have noticed these things if I hadn't had a real relationship with God my Lord and Savior, with life experiences and great achievement. This blog won't be as long as usual as it's just something to think about. When you see this clock what runs through your mind concerning time? Do you understand the times around you? Do you ever think about Karios vs Chronos? Are you willing to allow life to be like a breath of fresh air even if there are storms, tornados, death, and more? Well, I don't know people how your feeling or even if this make sense to you, but it does to me. Having a safe place to think, write, be creative and more is important to keep a healthy life and set some things in stone for your future and the future of your loved ones. Please join me as I will be taking you on a journey that I pray will empower you, encourage you, and help you take off into the God given destiny the has been planned for you.

Despise Not What God Has Spoken

DESPISE NOT WHAT GOD HAS SPOKE

Learning not to despise the small beginnings, and to walk with what God has placed before my life. It gives me great pleasure to know that God has trusted me with his wealth of knowledge and information that is compiled with wisdom.
As I was led by the Lord to take this picture to put the vision in perspective I found myself almost wanting to complain. Then I reflected upon complaining and murmuring that locked Moses out from the promise land. He took the complaints of the people and carried them the wrong. He carried them in his heart, a place that they didn't belong to.

It is my prayer that as you enter into 2020 you don't allow what has been shallow in relationships to cause you to bring excessive baggage that has nothing to do with your life's future. Perfect meaning to mature, it's a state of mind that we must get to in order to live as God has promised. We can only go as far as the relationship in God is taken. We can only change as far as we are willing to learn, and many have chosen to stay with the norm, the comfortable things in their life that have no value.

The challenge is to step outside of what you think and put on the mind of Christ to get to the vision that has been set before you. Despise to look down upon with disrespect, something we do when we detest what God is doing in our life. I know that there are those times we feel uncomfortable in the change, in the new, but we will never know if we love it by never accepting it.

Zechariah 4:10 Amplified Bible (AMP)

10 Who [with reason] despises the day of small things (beginnings)? For these [a]seven [eyes] shall rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the Lord which roam throughout the earth.”

DON'T DESPISE WHAT GOD HAS SPOKEN FOR YOU, FOR YOU MINISTRY FOR YOU LIFE AND THE LIFE OF THOSE YOU LEAD!!!!! I PRAY I SEE YOU IN THE LAND OF GOD'S BLESSED PROMISES.

Prayerfully yours truly,
Apostle Suprina FireWalking Edwards

Restore, Repair, Reset

Restore, Repair, Reset

Upon my refection I realize there are somethings that I had to set aside. It was the life of the 3 R's, principals that a true believer can't live without. Yet
I set them aside trying to please the wrong gods.
Yes,you heard me that's right god's of the little "g". In doing so they was winning and I was dying in my spirit.
I had aimed so high in trying to please my family and friends that I was missing what really was important and that is the only wise God. Yes the big "G".
He had been waiting for my return and in that he blessed me. I've come out in my right mind. I've been restored, repaired and now in reset.
People of God let me share this once you've tasted the goodness of the Lord don't let go for family, friends, the world. It will be a painful mistake that can be avoided as NOBODY CAN LOVE YOU GREATER THAN THE ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH ❤️.
Take this journey with me as I lead God's people out of the wilderness. Make way for 2020 by getting rid of all shallow relationships that bring you harm and danger. Lord thank you for this reset and life changing experience.
Love Always
Suprina FireWalking Edwards

Are you satisfied with what you see?

Everyday is a battle for me and the mass others who are living in a world that seem to have forgotten the goodness of the Lord. As I think upon HIS image, I say what do they see when they see me? Is it HIS image I reflect? If I was to be honest there are moments that I don't feel like reflecting HIS image. As I am growing daily I am NOT satisfied with what I see as there should be alot more less of me and more of HIM and HIS GRACE. Somehow it isn't always that way and that is where I know for a fact I haven't arrived.
So how do I get their, you know that place that I find myself falling more in love with what I see in me? I must give him everything that my flesh craves. Even in this it brings on a challenge as my flesh wars against my spirit.
So today, I beseech thee brethren to submit thy will unto the Lord GOD Almighty and instead of thinking what others think of you, what do you see and what you see how do you think GOD will respond? Self-examination is mandatory for me as His Apostle, as HIS child, HIS warrior on assignment. Let us all search our hearts and find Jehovah God today, GOD reminded me that that is still able.

What Blocks your future?

Life with Yah to the mass maybe difficult, yet it's only difficult to those who are not willing to surrender all. In these last hours there is a clarion call not by cliche, but by the movement of God. What position will you been in? Will you allow your past to continue to visit your now, your future? Many are falling by the wayside as there focus is on the past and the storms that surround our Nation. We the people of God have a opportunity to become more successful now than ever. The transference of wealth isn't something you say it's a position your to be in. It will start with your heart of surrender and obedience unto the move and call of God. I challenge you to relinquish your rights for His and get to know God and watch him move.
I have found so much distraction can cause you to live in a stagnant position however if you be a child of God there is a promise that God has given to His children and it goes like this: Proverbs 28:8, and Ecclesiastes 2:26
King James Bible
He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. Prov. 28:8

King James Bible
For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit. Ecc. 2:26

Set your heart not on the worldly riches and the wealth will transfer to you as promised by God but you can if living in the past....
Apostle Suprina Ford

The Matter of the Heart, What is your diagnose?

The matter of the heart, it's an issue for the world and the church. We want the benefits of what God can do, but not willing to lay down our life at a maximum capacity. 
What is it? We have allowed thorns to invade our hearts. The cares of this life, selfish ambitions, careers, jobs, family, ect...it has become our gods. The bottom line is idol worship is among the people and there losing sight of what God has said in his word. You cannot love God and love the world and think that your not going to pay a penalty, that is impossible. 
I am saying this to you to request you examine your heart, as I was reflecting upon the art work my daughter Hydia did I was reminded about stints. 
Some might ask what is a stint here let me help and define.
Stent: Stents help keep coronary arteries open and reduce the chance of an heart attack. The stent is place in the clogged artery, this helps to keep it open.
Now one might even ask why did I choose this example, I chose it to help the people who don't read the word understand my point is this. Without the word your going to have heart failure, your not going to be able to pump pure blood, that miracle saving blood, JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. You will find as you see in the picture thorns growing in your heart killing everything started out as a good seed as you see in the picture it begin as a wholesome flower that eventually faded away into the thorns produced in our hearts.
People don't leave this earth with the wrong diagnose, the wrong heart, heart failure because you choice to harden your heart in the middle of a storm. This is real business, God love you and wants the best for you, but at the end of the day "Free Will" does exist. So choose who's heart do you want, that of the world or that of God?
