Capital #1: Atlanta

November 9, 2023

The Delusion

The delusion in GA on display at state capital. I had seen these before, but they kept coming to mind as the prayer day approached. What is the "delusion?" That the Confederacy is something that needs to be revived.





“With the fall of the confederate citadel fell the confederacy itself.”


As it was then may it be so today. 


It was reasonable to create these placards in 1920 - given the Civil Ware had ended 60 years ago…


But to KEEP them up 160 years later? The state of Georgia and the powers that be are perpetuating a delusional narrative that the members of the Confederacy were “patriots” when in reality they rebelled against the United States of America. Which is the same thing that’s going on with Jan 6. They’ve made excuses for people who are  insurrectionists.

Restraining Wall

Atlanta is pivotal. It wasn't just Georgia in the general sense that Trump interfered with. He interfered with Fulton County, home of Atlanta, the black capital of the state. So just as the fall of Atlanta marked the end for the Confederacy, may Atlanta standing up to prosecute Trump mark the end of his reign of lies and falsehoods that he has sought to spread throughout the nation. 


As I was praying the understanding that a Retaining Wall can also be a Restraining Wall  came to me. 


God has assigned borders and limitations to all things:


Establish your Retaining/Restraining Wall in the all four directions of the land: North, South, East, West.


Except you establish your Retaining/Restraining Wall, the rulers of this earth in the US will overflow their boundaries unabated and destroy this nation and subsequently the world. Because at this point - as the US goes, so goes the world.


And may you raise up your Retaining/Restraining Wall to establish boundaries for Capitalism.

Answered Prayer

A woman came and sat next to me as I sat down to start to pray. She was loud, on the phone. I was a bit bothered that of all the spaces on the literal block - she came and sat right next to me. I asked her what her shirt said: "Rent control now." 


But it wasn’t until I was wrapping up the prayer time that I realized that you had sent an answer to prayer before I even said anything. Literally, I had just taken pictures of the placards and decided to sit on the retaining wall facing the church - I was about to open my mouth when she came over and sat. 


Rent Control is a form of a retaining wall. For this woman to come and sit next to me - you sent an expression of a retaining wall to sit next to me.  I believe that it’s a confirmation of your heart and that you are raising sons (and daughters) who will be advocates for and pivotal in establishing retaining walls across the state in all areas of life.


May GA reject the delusion and may God break GA unto righteousness and healing.

Be Armed With Purity

As aggressive as this nation has been with greed, capitalism - may we be that and more aggressive in purity and holiness.


Establish your answer/confirmation in GA’s spiritual mountain and in your mountain in Heaven and in spiritual Jeruslaem. 


KAF

I did a KAF session. The timer ended at 1:11 pm.


Teach Shepherds to be good shepherds.


As I was finishing, I saw a UHAUL truck. The city on the side was “Montgomery, AL.” That’s my next city. I think you’re saying we’re done in ATL. 


I used a black stone with white streaks as the first stone to anoint with clay and plant in the ground of the retaining wall. 


The Great Delusion that plagues this nation has kept white nationalists from recognizing, acknowledging, embracing, making room for what black people carry, as co-laborers and equals@the table. And we have what they need. Every group that has been marginalized has something that the world needs.


While the actual government of the Confederacy doesn't exist, the ideology of hate and white supremacy that powered the Confederacy is still at work. 


From Wikipedia:

The Cornerstone Speech is frequently cited in analysis surrounding Confederate ideology.[44] In it, Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens declared that the "cornerstone" of the new government "rest[ed] upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth". Stephens' speech criticized "most" of the Founding Fathers for their views on slavery, accusing them of erroneously assuming that races are equal. He declared that disagreements over the enslavement of African Americans were the "immediate cause" of secession and that the Confederate constitution had resolved such issues.[45] Stephens contended that advances and progress in the sciences proved that the Declaration of Independence's view that "all men are created equal" was erroneous, while stating that the Confederacy was the first country in the world founded on the principle of white supremacy and that chattel slavery coincided with the Bible's teachings. After the Confederacy's defeat at the hands of the U.S. in the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, he attempted to retroactively deny and retract the opinions he had stated in the speech. Denying his earlier statements that slavery was the Confederacy's cause for leaving the Union, he contended to the contrary that he thought that the war was rooted in constitutional differences;[46][47] this explanation by Stephens is widely rejected by historians.[44]


I would venture to say that it's not just black people who are considered less than by those who hold Confederate ideology true - but everyone who is not a white male is less than. This is the great delusion of white supremacy.

Capital City

As I was wrapping up, I saw a security car pull up across the street at the church.


“Capital City” in the name stood out to me. I asked God to send Angels to stand guard over the city. 


Then I head back to my car. I am parked right by the self-pay kiosk. And a black woman is standing there and she asks for my help, Can I tell where such and such building is, she’s trying to get to “this” meeting. She hands me her phone…it’s a meeting about “rent control.”


I couldn’t ask for a better, more affirming and confirming end. 

What I Forgot


So I will have to revisit the Atlanta capitol.
