           Good morning beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Beloved, during this week of showing love in acknowledging our professional law enforcement officers; I would like to mention a very important professional law enforcement officer who is a stand-alone person of integrity, character, and is definitely a hero in my eyes. Amen.

           That person beloved, is my brother-in-law Wayne Bush. He retired from the Pennsylvania State Police and is now still working as a professional law enforcement officer for one of his local police departments.

           With the stench of racism rising during this racist (Jim Crow) president Biden, from the moment his sister introduced us, he took me in as if I was a blood brother who had gone on vacation and had recently returned home. He literally, treated me as if he had known me all his life and we were from little brothers.

           Beloved, that’s how my Queen was raised. Amen. My mother-in-law, my Queen’s grandmother (I called her Grandma) stood on a chair so she could wrap her arms around me and gave me a big, tight hug, kissed me, and told me she loved me. To help you beloved, get the nectar out of this, this was during the same time my (white) mother had abandoned me for a (practicing) white supremacist husband. But my GOD, gave me another family, who took me from the moment we met and loved me as if I was their very own, and I had become just that.

           I was blessed with a brother-in-law, who I am incredibly proud of (I talked about him much while I was at Cleveland EMS). Amen. He took me everywhere, introduced me to many of his friends, introduced me to all of the family and just loved on me. Amen.

           Took me to many of his friends, took this black man, introduced me to his Caucasian friends, as his future brother-in-law, and his friends also showed me much love and respect. When I grew up beloved, we had a saying;

                                “Birds of a feather, flock together.” Amen.

           Therefore, during this period of time when this president and his demon horde hates law enforcement and spreads their racist hate, I am immensely blessed to lift up my brother-in-law Wayne Bush as a professional law enforcement officer who again, is one with humility, wonderful character, incredible integrity, and unparalleled professionalism, as well as a man of GOD, husband, and father. Amen. He is one you would call a Caucasian man, I just call him, family. Amen. Much love to my brother Wayne Bush. Amen.

           Let us beloved, come and partake of the sweet nectar our LORD-GOD has for us, that we see His faithfulness in the life of our man of GOD, “King David” that we KNOW beloved, that our LORD-GOD is faithful in our lives as He was in the life of our man of GOD, “King David”. Amen. For beloved, the Holy Spirit of our LORD tells us that these things were done for our example. Amen;

           “1 Corinthians 10:6-13

New King James Version

Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; nor let us [a]tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; 10 nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11 Now [b]all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our [c]admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to [d]bear it.

           Let us beloved, continue to glean what our LORD-GOD has for us in His most Holy Word, that we continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Savior and LORD-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Amen.

           “2 Samuel 7:1-3

New King James Version

God’s Covenant with David

Now it came to pass when the king was dwelling in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies all around, that the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells inside tent curtains.”

Then Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you.”

           “Psalm 18:13-24

New King James Version

13 The Lord thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered His voice,
[a]Hailstones and coals of fire.
14 He sent out His arrows and scattered [b]the foe,
Lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them.
15 Then the channels of the sea were seen,
The foundations of the world were uncovered
At Your rebuke, O Lord,
At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

16 He sent from above, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me,
For they were too strong for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the Lord was my support.
19 He also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.

20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the cleanness of my hands
He has recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all His judgments were before me,
And I did not put away His statutes from me.
23 I was also blameless [c]before Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Therefore the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
