This past couple of weeks I have really really been confronted with the issue of racism. In my face - as direct attacks. Now let me make it clear - you DON'T grow up in South Africa and NOT turn out a racist. Really yes. You DON'T. See - healing takes time and over the generations (taken into account our upbringing etc) we have become natural racists. BUT - God is so GREAT that He HEALS even the worst racist ever.
If we look at the Word of God - it really gives a clear indication about superiority (or not) of different races according to HIM. And this is found in Acts 17:26 - And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Now WHAT is so difficult to understand about this? We all have limited levels of tolerance, but to link that to RACE is just not how it works if you REALLY want to be a child of God. If HE sees all equal - why don't you just go with it.
Herewith an link to a precious document I have worked through a few years ago. I must warn that it cuts deep, and that it took me a few weeks to work through to the stage where I could really honestly repent on behalf of myself and the bloodline I came from. Eversince, I have "visited" the document with intervals when the Holy Spirit reveals to me that I'm heading for my "old" ways again.
I have this week "lost" a very great precious friend because of the fact that I REFUSE to see other races as "NOT HUMANS". I NEVER delete people from my Facebook, because I believe that God speaks through me powerfully. This was, however, one of those times where I could just not bare the HATRED that radiated anymore. I will keep praying for ALL nations and colours to re-unite as children of our LIVING God.

Please see from page 84 - and if you really want to know how deep the root is planted - dare to read the rest of the document and work it through.
Curse me if you want, just remember - every word of hatred and disgust aimed at me will be going through God's admin System and will be recorded. I pray that - if you have to hate me - you will find time to repent before the great day of Judgement.
Heavenly Father - Great Great Creator of ALL mankind, I humbly thank You for the difficult road You have allowed me to walk in my seeking of Your Love and Truth. I pray that You will heal the wounded hearts reading this prayer and I thank You for Amanda Buys for all she and her ministry has accomplished through the working of Your Holy Spirit in me and in those around me.
Father, I ask You to let your Spirit manifest in me when the arrows are shot at me, so that I can remove them in the Spirit and send a Blessing back to that person. Father, I am not perfect and You know it, thank you that I can have the will to re-visit the prayer (sometimes more than often), and keep my heart clean from degrading a fellow-creation of You.
In Jesus Name - Jesus, Jesus, Jesus - Thank You for walking the road with me
To my many friends of other nations and colour - I love you guys - hope you will also work through this document and repent where it is needed.
