Underground Railroad
Freedom Works
Introducing the works that may set me free
I cried out to the Lord and said, “I cannot help but feel like a slave. Lord God, please help me for I do not know what to do.” Then the Lord answered me and said, “My strength is within you, I will guide you, I will help you, I will lead you in the way that you should go, and I will prove to you that my love is unfailing. For my will for you is strong.” Then I replied, “But I am weak and I am scared, for the persecution is to much of a burden for me to bear, and I am blind, for I cannot see where I am going.”
But then the Lord strengthened my hands, the Lord renewed my mind, and cleared a way for me. Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, “The Christ” is here. But he has been under a great and powerful veil; blocked behind a great wall and covered in thick smoke. I looked for help, but there was none. I looked for a way for freedom but there was no passageway found there. I could do nothing but to be like a reluctant slave who is forced to work in the cotton fields during the times of the American slave trades.
I hoped for a day when I might be set free by some sudden miracle. I thought that perhaps this feels a lot like an African American slave. He/she is either hoping for a sure and safe passageway to run away to the North, praying for the civil war to end with a Union victory, or maybe waiting for an unexpected executive order signed by Abraham Lincoln stating “the emancipation proclamation.” . I cannot help but see all the similarities that I have with prisoners and slaves because I am under a great and heavy load and burden that I call nothing but persecution.
To relay these harsh facts to all who may listen and know: I am under persecution and oppression by the people of the Hawaii state and the federal government of the United States of America. I am in a completely secured and managed territory where everyone around me is under strict orders not to tell me the truth. It is a fact that I have been forced to work and live among a people who are all liars and all pretenders. There is no true life that I am living here. It has all been nearly a complete lie for about 2 long years now. But what can I do?
Behold, there is an underground railroad that the Lord has led me to follow. I thought to myself, “an underground network of Black African American slaves and White American abolitionists was established during the years leading up to the American Civil War. I need to do something. I feel like I cannot endure the slavery; I want to give up. If I go seeking this underground railroad, I might be free someday. But if I die, at least I died for a just and righteous cause. The catch is this: for a runaway slave secretly seeking freedom on this underground network, he/she must be capable of producing freedom papers, and it helps tremendously if he/she knows how to read and to write. He/she could substantially increase their chances of making it through to the other side provided they are willing to learn. Freedom would be in your grasp because you could simply present your freedom papers to anyone who questions you. But not only just for you; there are hundreds and thousands of fellow slaves who could use your help with producing the proper documentation.
I am alone. If a slave ran away without first having any known system of people who could help build up this underground railroad community, then he would have no means or way to go by. Chances of success would be slim. Even more so, I am a slave working out from a most secluded and heavily guarded state and territory. I’m on an island. For the sake of Christ and for the sake of my life’s purpose, I feel like I need to set something up and set it up quick. Maybe, just maybe if I do it right, I can even help countless others join in with me as we all work our way to freedom.
I have a calling to set up a network of people and family who would like to join in with me to build up this freedom network and community wide system. A social system, a social church networking platform more the like. What I have put together here is the foundations of the Beloved House Project and it is set up in a way as to give you a taste and a glance at what building up the house of God can and will look like for the future.
On a lighter note, let us say that I am more like a student in the school house of God studying the history of slavery. Now let us say that God is my instructor and Jesus Christ is his assistant teacher and they both say to me, propose a group project for all the students of this history class. Then at that moment I would think, pray, and meditate so that I could gain some guidance as to what I could possibly do for this class project. Then I would say, “behold, my fellow students, let us begin this class project as students trying to find our way to freedom together. Let us build a underground railroad network with each other. “
Then I continued and said, “now we are not physically slaves, but we are slave to our own mind, to our self-will, and to worldly powers sometimes. Is it not a good idea to use this concept of ‘freedom papers’ and ‘underground railroads’ as a means for us to work together as we build up each other for one truly righteous cause?”
So here, let I, Jeffrey Kahler, lay out for you some guidelines and some examples of the way that we should go. And let us continuously ask our instructor (God) and our teacher (Jesus) for the guidance, the strength, and the courage we may need along the way. Now all that I can really do is show you the way that I have been inspired by God and by my brother Jesus that might lead me on that road to freedom. What I can do is listen, interact, collaborate with all of you fellow students and then provide for you my feedback, wisdom, and knowledge that I have received from my God. What I can do is share with you my testimony, my works, and my truth. What I can do is show you the way that I have found that I might make it on the underground railroad, and what I can do is, I can show you my freedom papers.
Will you join this way to freedom with me? Continue to read and interact with me on this website and I will promise to do my best to help you on your way and our way to freedom together.
