Introduction:One inspiring quote from a commentator on 103:9 FM said, "don't put a question mark, where God puts a period". This was the question the prophet Habbukuk raise with God, why is Judah being used an an instrument of your judgement.God's answer to him is just and true. Your nation has rejected me, therefore mercy(Seal)God's perfect will has used up its side of the balance, now judgement(Shield)which is God's permissive is in place, and its just a matter of time. In this, Dan. 4:17,God ruleth in the affairs of men.

         Black people for the most part didn't write or document their history. Much of the history of African Peoples were past down by oral tradition or that of the story teller. The Egyptians were a literate people, but for the most part, they wanted their procedures and knowledge to be secret. Arab people tended to be towards the literate in their documentation; especially when they developed the the mathematical discipline of Algebra(Science of equations and mathematical shorthand).The power of writing and literacy provailed. This is why when Europe was in the Dark Ages, Middle Ages, and Medevil Period;the Muslim Saracen Empire prospered.

        Jesus Christ demonstrated the power of writing when he wrote on the ground. The woman of Samaria was given a spoken word by Jesus;whereas the accusers of the woman caught in adultury was given a written word on the ground. May Jesus said unto them, "I know what you all did ,this time last summer".  I experience this pheonmenon when two Bible Teachers challenged my depth in the scriptures when I was a very young man. One asked me what time was, and I wrote time in two Greek words, kosmos and airos of which he didn't understand, but one man who was a Bible Teacher did. Another one said I couldn't understand the the reference bible I was reading and suggested I better go to school; since he was a counselor, I asked what nouthetic counseling was, he couldn't answer.

        I say this all to say this, learn to write the vison. Whether you have a divine inspiration what God, your subjects you are learning in school, practice the power of writing it down. The studentsa who take notes, the worker who take notes at seminars and workshops are the people who succeed in life. Jesus Christ told his disciple, the words that I speak are spirit and life(John 6:63). His disciple began to understand these words of Jesus before his ascension(Luke 24:32). Prov. 18:21;1 Kings 17:1, tells us death and life are in the power of the tongue.

            The power of the written words and spoken is called Faith. The words that I speak are spirit and life is the definition of faith and also Physics(John 3:12;Heb. 1:3). Physics in the power of focus, motion and rythm that ends up in timing, speed and velocity.

           Talking about Black Jews, not to much writing, but like Jesus Christ, there history was in the ground. Their Synogague still stands as a testimony of Black Jews who escaped the Spanish Inquistion as well as those Black people who were Jews bought to the America via Slavery.

Conclusion:When one has vision, a person has two eyes and the letter "V" stands for each eye in vision . When Both eyes(V's) are formed together they form a a letter called "W" which stands for winner. Thus in fulfillment of Proverbs 29:18, here Are the (i's) in Vision:
