Caldwell, Pastes’ New Jerusalem Baptist Cathedral > ’nas been more than 3500 years sint Moses, the servant of God, comronted the Pharaoh in Egypt to let God’s people go. Today we know the story of how the mighty hand of God delivered the Israelite out of the bondage of Egyptian slaveiy (Exo 3:7-8), During slavery time in the South and the racism., the Negro preacher has often preached traditional ''Mo- ses - Pharaoh" freedom sermons. The theme of these sermons were designed to give the Negro hope of one day being free from the grip of hard segregation. “Go down Moses - way down in Egy pt land - tell O- Pharaoh - to let My people go” was the theme of hope to our black broth ers and sisters w ho were wearied and emotionally worn and almost ready to give up toiling under the yoke of prejudice and segregation under the then, white power structure (Exo. 3:9-10). Many years have now past and things have gotten much better and much lacial progress have been made. The accumulated time line for this progress consist cf much hurt, pain, and loss of life of both w hites and blacks who struggled for the cause of freedom for the Negro. This struggle gives cause for much writ ing of black history, which brought about change for the belter. Today, we as blacks, are no longer toiling under Jim Crow laws, per se. nor are we struggling against segregation and prejudice in their purest forms. However, we are still having to do battle against uncovered pockets of prejudice and roaming spirits of hate simply because of the color of our skin, in addition to the racial prog ress having been made to date, there still exist a ghost of an evil spirit, which still works to recapture the Black man and put him back into a slavery status. Such evil spirit is very similar to that spirit of Pharaoh which went after the children of God in the desert, who had just been re leased from the straw-pit bondage of Egypt. It was the desire of Pharaoh to recapture the ex-Hebrew slaves and return them to their previous sta tus as slaves in the straw pit. Pharaoh sent his evil spirit, in the form of his soldiers and chariots, after the chil dren of God in an effort to recapture them. Such was the spirit of re- slavery' born against Haiti when France and America cut off trading with the island when a black slave revolt won its independence from France in 1801. The lack of a good education and self incrimination leads to poverty and poverty leads to being enslaved by the social and economic condi tions which surrounds you. This kind of slavery does not require liv ing on a cotton plantation. When a person impoverish him/herself with low self esteem, lack of education, and projects a poor self image by unsocial behavior, he/she create his/ her own mental, but real, plantation to live on. If we have not taken advantage of the progress of equal opportu nity gained during the past black struggles, then we. as a people, have placed our very' own selves back into slavery. This is true for adults and especially for our black youth today. There still exist a certain segment of our society, namely those families living below the federal poverty' lev el. which have social and economic troubles and not enjoy ing any dream of "pursuit of happiness." We. the black church and community must continue to encourage, guide and be supportive of our young black boys and girls who are products of broken homes. This would include those returning from incarceration. ( and those who have droppei and is dropping out of schoo King’s dream included theseV( Somehow and in some way. w, church and community musi pn a haven of safe transition for ok battled youth to escape their sfe and better themselves. The black church must "er loud" and be heard in helpini black youth rise above the j and economic decay, and a help setting their moral, init tual compasses so as to lead out of their dysfunctional art structive bondage. Our youtli do this by seeking the best« tion and training they can gei any source; and by discoverins stretching their intellectual caji And use this intellectual capaci open as many doors of oppor ties for themselves as they can can even encourage them loj the Armed services as an op means to jump start their social economic achievements, if they! no immediate goals for ihemse!

Otherwise, the ghd Pharaoh will follow close bi and will eventually begin the* of pursuing, capturing, and ket; them in "anti-knowledge" and achievement” slavery. W'e must continue to tell oury that life is much more than pan; clothing, sex and drugs. We inns them that they are young, gifted black. We must tell them God is on their side providing they cn to Him in need and relief (Exo."’ Otherw ise, the ghost of Pharaoh lows close at their heels. ft appears that one of the in mistakes we have made as a pej since possessing our new-fo freedoms is, we have stopped p tioning God (Exo. 3:7-8). Sorad we may have the impression have made it. Some of us have, not all of us. The "Struggle" was all and not just for a few.

Is it because church and the Negro have gone lent since a few blessings havefal upon us and more than a fewo have climbed out of the bucket it that we are satisfied and ouri lies are full with the racial pros of the past few years? Is it that are no longer hungi-y for more lice and opportunity for our pep Really? We must remember that the st of Pharaoh finally caught up' God’s people again and they ha endure two separate 70-year capi ties twice more.
