Corrective Action in Distractions | Frame the FOCUS!

Answering the Question - Will Things Ever Be Righted in the World?

Poignant and Candid Talk, Frame the FOCUS! modern world is witnessing a pivotal time in civilization, before which it has never seen. Whether, driven by advancing technology, global economics, shifting world leadership or morality swings, the signs are quite evident. Enthralling or frightening, emerging eras are full of chatter and distractions, that require humanity’s consciences to legislate wise judgment, justice and equity for all mankind.

This Talk, contrasts critical times in history, in which humanity’s responses, resonated substantively. Early history, evidenced a time of moral awakening yet of inerrancy, as men united to justify self-righteousness, The Tower of Babel (Genesis, 11:1-9, ERV).   Era of industrial modernization, produced increased wealth, yet also, heightened humanitarian reticence.  Decade later, a reformation of humanity’s moral consciousness emerged as well as world’s affluences, as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, Golda Meir, and Gamal  Nasser. Similarly, of a time and a people beleaguered, compromised moral standards yet became triumphant in a youthful response of valor, courage and humbleness before the LORD God, depicted in the narrative of David and Goliath.

Talk Mentions, World’s Messengers, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Prime Ministers, Mahatma Gandi of India; and Golda Meir of Israel.

Podcast Radio- Let’s Have a Talk.., Introduction

Speaker 0:44

And in telling a friend, we are praying that you're ready, as I am ready, to hear what God has to say to us this morning. For it's a beautiful morning. And if you haven't quite noticed yet, our timing to wake us up, though it is perfect. It's a little early for those on Pacific Standard Time. We were just jolted by a little jolt in Southern California, not necessarily where I'm destined, but a little jolt to wake us up early this morning. So our Father is sometimes allowing a little sudden to wake us up, to shake us up, to open our eyes and unclog our ears to be ready to assess

Let’s Have a Talk.., Frame The FOCUS! Looking Neither to the Left or Right.

Speaker 1:47

what's really going on. You know, we're coming live with the talk frame the focus. A place meaning a point in time, a season in life. A place where there's uncertainty yet, knowing for certain that God is in control. But looking around, we can't really assess what we think the direction is or should be. Is it really going in the right direction? This morning we asked God to lead as we go. And have a couple of questions to wake us up a little bit. Have you ever needed, as a child growing up? The psalmist David, the King, eventually became the king. When he was a king, he became a lover of Jesus Christ. And it's evident in his and what has been written in prayers and psalms and in songs to the Lord our God. David had a lot of supplication in prayer, asking God for help, asking God serious questions about righteousness and the state of wickedness. And thus our question is, “Will things ever be righted in this ”world?” And this is where we are. And then there is the messenger. A messenger who was sent timely in an age. In six decades ago, and was sharing these messages, Dr. Martin Luther King. And the message, pretty much so, that was consistent was not only the differences in the obvious of what appears when we are looking to the left or the right, looking to the left at seemingly oppressors, seemingly those that have gained riches, seemingly of those that are in power, seemingly of those that have no cares in the world, and if they do, there's someone that would take care of those cares in a human form for them. So seemingly having a life of ease. And then if we look towards the right for those that come in and work day in and day out, seemingly struggling in those day ins and days out, gathering those children, putting them in the right places, that they may be protected along the way against those seemingly oppressors. And God says, Let's frame the focus. Let's frame the focus. Neither looking to the left, neither looking to the right. Because when we call on the name of the Lord our God, regardless of the state that we're in, and I have to say, in that analogy, God says, “Let the rich say I'm poor.” “And let the poor say I am rich”. The dichotomy of understanding in a deep insight. We absolutely sit and observe in the presence of God. Exactly what does that mean? What does that mean?

Substantive Status of Change, “In Everything There is A Season.”

Speaker 6:55

And looking in the presence of the Almighty God, who we call upon, looking for change, perhaps looking for change, but God has already ordered changes. And that's the natural order of existence here in life, and that is in seasons. For everything there is a season. There's a time for beginnings and ends. There's a time to build up, and there's a time to tear down. My friends. But then let's look at us in question. God put something in each of us. When we were born here, not necessarily the DNA of our mothers and fathers, and often we have some of those that seemingly don't quite fit in our family's makeup or order of how we live. But sometimes that God puts in us is obvious very early. And sometimes we have to grow into it. And in growing into it, where do we begin? With it. Sometimes a family friend will pronounce, oh, you're gonna become such and such. But there are some cultures in which you become what it is that your father was. Have to say. That's why some did not recognize the Messiah when he appeared in earth, Jesus Christ, because his earthly father was a carpenter. But we know Jesus is the Son of the Most High God. But then how does one distinguish who it is that we say we are and who it is that God has decreed who we are, and He's decreed it when He put it in us when we were birthed in this world? There is a reason for that, everyone. And that reason is expressed very wholehearted with full passion, compassion, and great sight on the stance of humanity, and at the direness of the time in which the door swings open, and it hits us in the face. Hits us in the face so prodoundly that we turn around and wonder exactly where we are, what season, what God is saying. But God speaks and will continue to speak and continue to share with us what his desire is for each one of us, not only as individuals. And that struggle, man, is that struggle to become who God says you are. And if you don't, there will be generations like now who absolutely don't know where they've come from in confusion of where and who they should become. And we're quite evident because there is of course no criticism, but the truth. Whenever that generation that between the time that the messenger brought led not only a country but a world, and most importantly, humanity, to the point of seeing that it's

Resounding Message of Change by a World’s Messenger

Speaker 11:56

not necessarily where we are right now, is where we're going. And we have to get there, everyone. We are going to the extreme place of harmony that God is reconciling us to go. And all praises to our great mighty God. And in the messenger who placed before us, regardless of whether looking to the left it appeared to be minimized and marginalized, in itself, the words are of extreme greatness of the passion that was placed in, in him by God, and for the resounding message. Not only getting along, which is a nice way of ringing that bell, let's just get along. But as God is marching us forward, everyone, God has resounded and through Dr. Martin Luther King and will continue to resound. His great message that is timely at the time that God swings open the door, and eyes begin to hear that message, the profoundness of the message, and the direness of the action of a change that needs to come. And that change that needs to come, it is looking at who we should be and becoming. And then that should be, has nothing to do with where we are, family, has nothing to do with a skin color nor a culture, but a humanity of man, the species called man, who hasn't quite yet understand the greatness that God has put in him, and in that greatness, grasping hold of the supremacy of Almighty God, leading to a point, everyone. That point is not disaster, that point is not in any type of place where the wicked seems to have prevailed. It is a place of resounding strength where God recognized that it comes from the Almighty God. An Almighty God has a desire. And it's very clear. And for those, my friends, who say that I have a religion that that or a belief that God loves, of course, He is. Anything that seemingly thinks it can stand before an Almighty God, and any sort of mockery. For it is one thing for sure. When you God has given you a little bit of knowledge and understanding of what it says, God is not mocked, God is not mocked. It's impossible for the supremacy of God and his almightiness, in which a knee will bow before him, not in choice, but because his great supremacy and the flesh knows its creator. Just like the rocks in praise will cry out in praise before the inanimate object, a rock, which we see just sits there. But in its truest form, it is life, and man, the dirt will do what God says to do. But in his presence, man, the Lord our God, every knee shall be in his greatness. So framing the focus is the talk that our Father wants us to do. It's not. Some of it we have to be told. I was told that I was going to be, I don't like to go that personal route, but I believe that someone would benefit. That's why I am compared to share. God is not one who would allow himself to be scorned. That's what mocking is. To be put to a place where it appears that God doesn't exist, and that wickedness prevails. That's why we frame the focus. Because mockery against Almighty God cannot occur. Just as the rocks will praise God, if no one else will. And we know we already praise God. So that is not, that is not reality. But as I was saying, that when there are generations who don't know who they were, who don't know the love of God, who will look and believe that a television show that is coined as reality and begin to mimic life that way. There are generations that we need to curl back and wrap arms around, my friends, and love. Ones whose mothers were mothers when they were children themselves, and fathers and mothers and their fathers and mothers were caught up in a wave, an undercurrent that was put in this earth in wickedness to turn and stop the progress of God. When it was poured upon the world, even though it seemingly started with one culture and one country, it was poured upon the world. And subsequently, when it seemed upon seemingly that one culture was debbed back into chaos and immorality. And when we woke up, we woke up to things like reality TV. When the person that God gave you, that's not really your mother. When they found alliances with th alliances with voices that say there is this culture that is right. And if you don't look and walk and work and be this way in this culture. Then you're not real, man. So that keeping it real, man, was one that was included in the of immorality. But God left a generation that knew him, that prayed, that would stand, whether it was Big Mama, Mima, Grandmother, Aunt or Papa, whoever it was, man, God left them, and put so much strength to know to pray until pray along the way. Because God's righteousness prevails. And when we pray for the salvation and the turnaround of generations and our children and children, children's great is God's faithfulness. Great is God's faithfulness. My friends, the question is, what is it that God has put into you that needs to grow up? As He's telling humanity to grow up now, He's telling that man, I'm gonna say something. We think

Adjusting Perspectives UpWard! Almighty GOD

Speaker 24:12

we're so different. We're one species, everyone. One species, and there was a point in which that one species after Adam decided to come as one. But they decided to come as one and approach God in their own way. And wanted to come to God and build and show that He could they can build a tower to reach up to heaven. Because at that time they could see God appearing, descending and appearing in the sky seemed so everly reaching, it seemed so far away now. God seemed so close then. God had to condemn the work of the unity at that time because it was wrong. It was an error of coming to God or thinking so. And God, when you look at it, he was protecting them even though he was chuckled. Because you can't come to God unclothed and not wrapped in his righteousness, who is Jesus Christ. So framing the focus is not looking to the left or looking to the right or worrying. What's gonna happen to me? Worrying. Struggling. And ourselves trying to make right or trying to do what we appear, what appears to be right, my friends. God left us a narrative. Narrative was David. And any biblical commentary will talk about the person, the personage of David. But in that personage of David is a a resounding message. Whether it was him as a king, whether it's him as a mighty valiant warrior, whether it's him as a unifier of a of a nation torn between cousins, the leadership of cousins. We can get it can get that muffled. That Saul on one side and David from another side. It began to get muffled of what it is that God intends. We look at this later and look at that later. In our most recent talk, we talk about Samuel, the prophet is calling and hearing the voice of God, knowing that sometimes someone has to tell you that's God speaking. Samuel says, and when Samuel said it, we it was a transition. God was preparing that particular people, the narrative of the history of humanity, to be honest with you. For a king. Now there were a lot of kings established. It was pretty much so the normative for any nation or any culture to have a king. So this new nation needed a king. And God was that was his intent to march forward from the understanding of rulership to setting the order of society for enabling the manifestation of understanding in our lives what the Ten Commandments really mean. And of course, we're gonna say it's not in the practicing or the doing, it is the becoming. So, what is this end result? And would things be right? It is the question on earth. Right. God says, frame the focus. He is yet and will remain forever, Almighty God, the one true and living God. Frame the focus. God is supremacy of all. Frame the focus. Someone questioned God. God turned around the sun, he stopped time, stopped time, and in stopping the time, the sun went backwards. Grass hold of that. Frame the focus is what God is telling each one of us to do. Oh, yes, it's hard because a new little thing comes up, and oh man, it's though here we go again. But framing the focus helps us, and in that frame, there's hope. There in that frame around Almighty God. There's hope, there's strength, there's compassion, there's love, and oh, I sit in there too. Oh, my neighbor sits there. Oh, my son who seems to ever having a need. Oh, he sits there too. Frame that focus, compassion , because that's God's mercies, patience sense, because that's God's long suffering. Frame the focus, and in that framing around Almighty God therein resides the hope of who he is, and that is the righteousness of God. Here it is, a young man. Unlike, his brothers were, he was very calmly, very statures, very built, David's brothers. His father from the tribe of the Ben Judah, for the most part, because by that time there were regions and stuff. He had eight sons, blessed with eight sons. Man, that's something. statuette, built well, built tall. Here is David. And David. Samuel's job was to look for the next king. Because you all, their decision was a king that was not of God's choice. God allowed it, and it was Saul. Saul was raised up, became the king. And in that there was the obvious of not only pride. So say, David was prideful. Commentaries will talk about him and uh uh in addition to his great sin. But God shows his mercy, but in the personage of David, he shows us the contrasting person of Saul. And in Saul we see the leader. Biblically, you may want to go there, if God sends you there, simply to look at the character, though many seemingly followed. It was one that was tribal, you all. But let's get to David. Framing the focus. David,

Appropriation of Focus, David’s Proclamation Before Goliath

Speaker 33:12

my friends, was chosen at seventeen. So his life was an open book. Not only for families and tribes, but also for that nation. But it's also for you and I, my friends. As we can get to the foundation Frame the focus. David was a tender of the sheep. That may not appear to be one where you need a lot of muscles to do. But then think about it. Somebody has to carry, get and pull out a wayward sheep when it gets itself entangled. Or carry it back when it loses his way. Is that not right, my friends? That's what a shepherd is, and of course, and then his personage and his character and his personage from a biblical standpoint of view of what his purpose was, we do see a foreshadowing in a certain degree. Certain degree of Jesus Christ in the fact of a shepherd, an image of a shepherd. So my friends, God says in David that he and Saul anointed him at as king at seventeen. But was he king then? Oh no he wasn't He enough in a psalmist, a consoler for the troubled king Saul, playing instruments. But he was a tender of the sheep and God gave him that heart full of compassion. And yes, when he was tempted, he did fall. But knowing and having a relationship with Almighty God, he said, “Wash me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Restoring me a right spirit and a clean heart”, y'all. That's what God example When the time for God in the season where the people of Israel were in a transition, a time for a new king. God had already prepared one that he says, “I tended to you when you were a sheep cote”. When you were very young and tender, but in that he not only, for one sheep or the sheep in itself, was able alone with the strength of God to kill a bear, fight a lion, etc, etc. Therein lies the understanding and the personage and in an image of David himself, tender, and at the time which the Philistines defiled Israel, and they were sorely afraid, wondering why God allowed another enemy to come and test them and oppress them. They suffered mighty under the hand of their ruleship of the Philistines. Yet God still kept under his protection the people he called the children of Israel. And in conclusion, when it was time for them to come to battle finally with an enemy called the Philistines, one that presented before them a giant. Presented before them a giant, everyone, giants, is it a giant in your life? Where you're wrestling saying what is when things gonna be made right on earth? When you resolve that you're alone, when you resolve that, how do I make ends meet? Why does the rich get richer? Which means nothing, man. Let the rich say I am poor and the poor say I am rich. And in that, when you frame that focus and look to God, He will make sense of that scripture. He will give you full understanding of what that means. For my soul, no matter how much you've accumulated here, you are yet poor if you don't know where it comes from. And you believe it came from your own schemes and devices, which some may have, but it's still God Almighty who stepped aside and allowed it to accumulate. But David, after being in the battlefield a long time, his father sent him to send food to the particular army where his brothers resided. And at that point, this little young man at that time, still young, when the Philistines presented a giant and said, Okay, if you find a man who can kill me, then we will serve you. Now, isn't that something for God to put a scenario between a people that was burdened already with many battles? But God saw that they began to get comfortable and began to accumulate and mingle their practices. They began to stray everyone, they began to look at the outward appearance, everyone. That's how Sao came into leadership. They began to look at the outward appearance. Now that's just the biblical commentary, but that narrative is for you and I. When humanity, a nation, and humanity, when God is moving forward to an end, everyone, and that end is perfect harmony with him, and we shall continue. Perfect harmony with him. That's what the end is, but the harmony begins with humanity understanding in the consciousness, not only the fact of what who God and equality, but understanding who humanity as one species is, and come together and love for one another, and love in spite of hate, and depending upon the strength of God, and oppression rising above it with no hatred, not looking to the left or looking to the right, but a focus that is framed on the providence and the supremacy of Almighty God, and yet that's what David saw. God sent him into a scenario where the nation and the people that he carried and showed so many miracles and grew them up and was taking them to a point rulership of the king that he appointed. Then God sent in a simple scenario the innocence of David and his strength, and in David he saw that the tribe had become afraid, the nation and the army had become afraid of a giant who was yet a man, and that means you're looking to the left at seemingly strength, you're looking at the left of seemingly power, you're looking at the left of seemingly control over whether you live or not. That's what they saw in the giant, instead of framing the focus on Almighty God, and here steps David The giant laughs, laughs, and the people of Israel at that time looked and said, Okay, you're coming here to put us to shame too. And David says And this David says to the Philistines You come to me with a four sword and with a spear and with a shield. But I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts. That's how David responded when the giant saw him and said, You're just a little child, ready child at that, meaning that he was pretty unkept and pretty thin. David had to say, I slew a bear with my bare hands, and I slew a lion. And he had evidence of it because he was alone when it happened, except for his sheep that he was protecting. Look at God, everyone. And then David comes to the king because it is the king, and the king decided that David needed to wear his. His armor. It was supposedly or symbolically a transfer of his leadership authority, but it was not. David knew who he needed to be clothed by and strengthened by, and that is by the Lord his God, the Lord our God, the one true and living God. He knew it, even though he tried it on. He said, I have not proved these, these have not been proven to belong to me. And he took the armor that God, the armor of God, God Himself, because he stood before the giant in the presence of Almighty God with five smooth stones. Now let that be known that that was not the the weapon tree, was not, is not what is in our hands. The weapon tree is Almighty, the armor of Almighty God, and to say so. And into this, my friend, we know the story. And this story is the same for you. The giant is not real. Do not look and frame on the giant, but frame the focus on all mighty God, my friend, whatever circumstances that you may be in. And yes, the world is and will be right. For the righteousness of God stepped in, Jesus Christ. And righteousness will prevail, my friends, and God will grow us up to love one another, including our enemies. Have strong compassion, to look back and pray unceasingly before our God, to start resounding and looking to Him, to the hills from which our help comes from, comes from Almighty God. And thus we have now framed the focus. And around it lies hope strength and to overcome it. Being triumphant in victory. And that, my friends, I pray. We take it. Let God do whatever it is that He's asked to minister to each one of our hearts. And until the next time God says, let's sit down to have a chat. Until then, my friends, we are praying God's blessings. For he knows what each one of us have need of. Until then, my friends, be blessed. This is Vicki.
