Crumbsnatchers

By J. Bishop

CrumbSnatchers (Matthew 15, Mark 7) captures the plight of the modern single mother/parent, underemployed, unemployed, migrant worker, female professional, minorities, inner city youth... as they struggle to acquire the basic necessities of life in a system that appears designed to keep them out.
CrumbSnatchers takes the Biblical crisis of the Syro-Phoenician woman and translates it to modern day experiences and solutions. She is an idol worshipper, an outcast, from the wrong side of town and a woman. She presses through all of the obstacles and human impediments to get more than she bargained for.
For those willing to fight the good fight of faith, there is a miracle waiting for you. God has a RIGHT NOW BLESSING and a space for you to be grafted into the Tree of Life, the New Jerusalem. Just keep the faith and refuse to be shut up. Refuse to be denied. Defy convention

DEDICATION

To the late Honorable Nelson Mandela and your blessed family. May God now set in motion those who will carry on your work.

To the Honorable President Barack Hussein Obama, First Lady Michele Obama, Sasha and Malia. I praise God for you. Thank you for persisting like this Syro-Phoenician woman to rectify the problems of America—the daughter grievously vexed. You exemplify the epitome of the CrumbSnatcher. You have been called dogs and worse but you kept your focus, your eye on the prize and we have all been blessed because of your great faith and perseverance.

John Boehner and others have been like the selfish disciples trying to push you, Affordable Healthcare and everything else you sponsored to ‘equalize things’ out of the gate and off of the platform. America has been committed since its inception to keeping minorities from getting a crumb; but God was grooming you, President Obama, in the shadows to run the bakery, the entire loaf, the American pie. May He always richly bless you and yours.

To my eldest and dearest brother, James Allen King, who I was helping care for as I wrote this and who passed as it was completed. I thank God for everyday you have been in my life.

To all of the children and youth that I have ever come in contact with either as family, a mentor, legal counsel, public speaker, preacher or as an officious intermeddling wanna set you on the right path adult.

If you only knew how much I love and pray for you.

FOREWORD

006_a_reigun.jpg

When you begin to read this book, you immediately get the feeling that the Bishop’s heart is emanating grave concern that our love and concern for the lost and our brethren who are in need is in the red! Very little is being done about it.

Her assertiveness should bring about an aggressive move in the kingdom for us to be more like Christ and to show love like Christ.

It should be mine and thine and not me and mine.  More is taken than is given.

G-D bless you! Only a free person can free a person.

Finally, when I finished reading, I had a self-deliverance session on ME!

G-D is going to do exploits in His Name through this book!!!

INTRODUCTION

My one desire is to see youth enriched, grow, succeed, fulfill whatever shoes and roadmap God has designated. Sometimes it will be a Mapquest (like Abram), just rest assured that He has His eyes on you.

ALWAYS contribute to the community, reach back and help those climbing up the way you have already trod. Don’t ever kick or compete with anyone other than yourself.

You are unique. You may run into others on the same path; but what God has designed, crafted on His wheel, put in place, for you is for you alone. Kicking, putting down, running down, badmouthing, backstabbing your brother and sister, are all risky business anyway. You are your brother’s keeper. When you denigrate, you may be taking out a loved one, related to, but lost to you during the holocaust, the Diaspora, slavery and/or colonization.

If not bound by human blood, you certainly are bound not to search and destroy another creation of God! You are not a torpedo launcher, a grenade, a B52 bomber, a terrorist. You are human. You are distinct, created in the image and likeness of the Most High God. You are simply in different seasons of life and, as such, what one does may not make a hill of beans sense to the other at any given point in time. Love anyway!!!

The Word says woe to the preachers that feed themselves and foul the waters so that others cannot get what they need. Well, all of our lives are sermons and we need to proceed accordingly—we are all ‘environmental protectionists.’ Ezekiel 34.

Two things. 1. Whatever you do Let it be REAL (Matthew 23, 25) and, 2. Be accountable as well as responsible—Ezekiel 34:17:¹
