The Will of Man

About the Book

In every person there’s a little man called “Will” and that little guy has more power than most folks realize, biblically will is defined as desire. “And Jesus answering said unto them, have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when you pray, believe that ye receive them. (Mark 11:22-24) So then man has the ability to change his circumstances, by his desires. If we look back at the history of mankind we can clearly see that progress and technology is the desire “Will” of man. People have accomplished impossible feats because they willed to succeed, but with progress and technology we see the will being weakened, because we can depend upon other things other than ourselves. We drink to build up our courage to face each other, then once we depend on the drink to get us through, we say the drink is the demon that has taken control of me, I’m in it’s grasp and unable to free myself, this illness has overtaken me and I’m doomed. We choose a lifestyle and claim it’s to much to bare; society loving a cause, jump in to help, and before anybody realize it we’ve created an industry or crisis. We take a hard look at the Black Americans who forged ahead in a time when oppression was legal, and a popular thing to do. It is amazing at their accomplishments and attitudes during this time, how they were focused on survival and prosperity in the face of adversity. If anybody had a reason to complain, it was them. Now looking back on their suffering, some seek ways to avoid their responsibility as a contributing part of society. If history were to be observed one would see that slavery was not unique to the Black Man, and that there were periods in history where slavery was as common as employment is today, and life moves on. We need to understand that the Government is the wrong place to look for moral and individual help, again history shows the Government was established for the running of the Country and the security of same. if you spend 15 to 20 million dollars for a job, my being drunk or out of work is not to important in the big picture. Street gangs have been allowed to roam the streets and cause fear and destruction, there is no real reason for them; Good people have to rise up and put a stop to them, what ever the cost. We the people have basically given over the Country to mal-contents, they’ve changed rules, our speech and way of life, thus lowing the standards of the nation.
