Once upon a time all fields were harvested by hand, either by sharecroppers or migrant workers. Once upon a time,
you could get buttered cookies, five for a penny. Once upon a time, you could get jawbreakers, five for a penny,
mary janes, five for a penny, squirrel nuts, five for a penny. Once upon a time, you could get a soda (nehi, orange
or grape) for seven cents. Once upon a time, you could get a pack of cigarettes for twenty cents. Once upon a time
a gallon of gas would cost you three cents. Once upon a time, you could get a gallon of kerosene for two cents.
That was once upon a time.
Once upon a time, whites and blacks had to go to separate schools. Once upon a time, whites and blacks went to
the same doctor, but had to enter through different entrances. Once upon a time, whites could go to a restaurant
and sit down, and eat whatever they bought, blacks, on the other hand, had to go to the back window to but their
food, and eat it anywhere they could. Once upon a time, children that lived on a farm, would not enter into a
classroom until October, because of the gathering of the crops. Mind you, school began in August, in the south.
Once upon a time, blacks had to say "Yes sir" and "No sir" to anyone of a white complexion. Once upon a time,
women would work in the white man's house all day with his children, and had to ride in the backseat, while being
taken to their homes. Once upon a time, the white man would call you uncle rather than call you mister, even if you
were up in age. Once upon a time, black people worked in the fields; watermelon, peaces, cotton, corn, beans, etc,
and was not allowed to eat one edible item. Once upon a time.
Once upon a time, the U.S Army was segregated, the only MOS that a black man had was tending stables of the
horses of the white soldiers. Once upon a time. Once upon a time, people praised God, they thanked Him for the
clothes that they wore, thanked Him for the shoes that they wore, thanked Him for the air that they breathe, thanked
Him for life and health, thanked Him for divine healing, thanked Him for deliverance, thanked Him for the blood that
was shed on the Cross, and thanked Him for the Holy Ghost. Once upon a time.
Once upon a time, a child was given twenty-five cents, they could spend fifteen, but they must have five cents for
Sunday school and five cents for church. Once upon a time, black women were targeted by white men. Once upon a
time, black men were hung because they even spoke to a white woman. Once upon a time. Once upon a time, there
were laws for white people and laws for black people. Once upon a time, there were senators for white men and
black men. Once upon a time. Once upon a time, this was the land of the free and home of the brave, once upon a
time. Once upon a time, I recall a war (Vietnam) where the average soldier in Vietnam was nineteen years old. Once
upon a time, these soldiers could not even vote. Once upon a time, the rich whites sent their sons off to Canada
and let the young blacks, once upon a time. Once upon a time, there were no black justices (judges). Once upon a
time there were no black lawyers, black doctors, congressmen, senators, but only farmers and slaves. Once upon a
time, Prayer for deliverance, echoed throughout the land. Once upon a time, Prayer for healing, echoed throughout
the land. Once upon a time, Prayer for times to change echoed throughout the land. Once upon a time, Prayer was
set up for those that were in prisons, so they could be set free. Once upon a time, chain gangs existed throughout
the south, where prisoners were chained down in a large metal ring that was embedded in a concrete block, should
a fire take place, they were doomed, once upon a time. Once upon a time, blacks endured stripes on their pants
and shirts, and received no mercy from the white man or the scorching sun by day. Once upon a time, men could
say anything they wanted to say to a woman, and there was no sexual harassment, at least for the black woman,
once upon a time.
Now God has intervened. He said "Rise and shine, for the glory of the Lord has risen upon thee." God's justice is
beginning to prevail. God's mercy is beginning to show upon God's covenant people. I don't care what social ladder
you climb. I don't care how much money you got in the bank. I don't care what type of clothes you wear. I don't care
what profession you may have. I don't care if you go into the depth of the earth, or ascend into heaven. You are
going to meet God somewhere. Get ready.
Once upon a time, Moses was born to deliver Israel out of the hands of the Egyptians. Christ was born to deliver
man from the demonic forces of the devil. Once upon a time, and now is, the presence of the omnipotent,
omnipresent, omniscient God. Once upon a time, I was five, when I received my first prophetic message. I am now
sixty years old, and God is not about to allow this country to go unpunished.
Once upon a time, and now is, God's wrath.
