The best preparation for tomorrow is the right use of today.

-Matthew 6:33

Hope Leads from Earth to Heaven will show that hatred cannot defeat hatred. This book will show a way out of generational curse and dysfunctional homes. This book will also help to change unreachable and unteachable children into productive citizens, which will allow them to pass this knowledge down to their children. First thing first, this book will also teach children to replace guns, gangs, and drugs with the Word of God and higher learning. Hope Leads from Earth to Heaven was written to plant the seed of salvation to the lost!

If nothing changes, nothing will change.

-Hebrews 11:.6

Death is the last chapter of time but the first chapter of eternity.

Those who take short cuts, get cut short!

Yesterday is gone, tomorrow isn't promised, today is Here, use it wisely!

God’s gift to mankind (Genesis 1:26). It was never about Regan, neither Bush nor Trump.

The choices you make today dictate your tomorrows.

Sometimes the body can be controlled, but not the mind.

If Black lives truly matter, when will they matter to us?

Black on Black hatred and crime must stop.

Fathers matter!

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

—Jeremiah 33:3–3

Foreword

And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on [his] face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And he put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. (Luke 5:12–14)

Today’s leprosy, a plague America chooses for us since 1950 to present! A state of mind and heart? This man-made plague has turned man against God, man against woman, children against parents, and Blacks against Blacks.

America’s gift of choice means to some a lot more than the Word of God. While reading, please read the Bible verses carefully. Hopefully you will see how they back up the messages in this book. Even for mature Christians, these truths will be difficult to grasp fully.

Hope Leads from Earth to Heaven

Success is failure turned inside out!

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1–1)

God’s love would help those who have nothing to give in return.

I would pray that when you read these messages, you don’t confuse all with some. But it is some that God is calling us to help. Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

The lord [is] nigh unto all them call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. 19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. The lord preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. (Psalm 145:18–20)

Let us ask ourselves, What’s going on?

Then look in the mirror and make that change!

Hatred cannot defeat hatred, only God can!

Introduction

Don’t let fear stop you. The Lord will provide and lead you by the spirit. You can’t control the response, but you can preach the message.

Faith that pleases God gets results.

But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them
