Will Ford: What Color is Your Baggage? (Revelation 12:10)
Channel: King of Kings Worship Center

Will Ford currently serves as Director of the Marketplace Leadership Major at Christ For The Nations Institute, in Dallas, Texas. A Banking and Finance graduate from Morehouse College and Bible student from Emmaus Road Ministry School in Euless, TX, he is the founder of Hilkiah Ministries.  Many know him internationally, however, for his family heirloom, and it’s connection to slavery and prayer for freedom. Will is the owner of a kettle pot used by slaves in his family for prayer. Forbidden to pray by their slave master, Will’s ancestors would pray underneath the kettle late at night to muffle their voices. Turns out that they were not praying for their freedom after all, but the freedom of the next generation. Will teaches that since his ancestors were Christians, not only is this part of his heritage but every Christian, because of our unity in Christ. He also believes that were it not for revival’s influence in the marketplace, slavery would never have ended.

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

When I would pray for the nation at that point, it felt like
I was praying for my neighbor across the street.
I knew the authority of my life had shifted in terms of what God was
calling me to and God gave me His heart for this nation.
He gave me his heart for revival and I still feel that now.
It was the Dutch that brought the first slaves into America in 1619.
King William III from England was the first king from England to send
slave ships into America.
God connected Dutch Sheets and I together to say,
“Look I want to use your relationship to show that I want to reverse the
effects of yesterday's pain.

Acts 17:26-27
“He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, 
having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, 
that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though
He is not far from each one of us.”

I’m was going to travel with that kettle and that is  where Matthew Lockett comes in.
I have a dream about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
God begins to deal with me about my unforgiveness issue.
I was on my way to help lead a reconciliation service at Dr. King’s former church in
Montgomery, Alabama, where the civil rights movement got started.
That night I had a dream about Dr. King.
Lou Engle and I were on our way to Dr. King's old church but 
we first had to pick up Dr. King.
Dr. King comes out of the house but he has this
humongous white duffle bag with black handles on it.
He starts emptying all this dark garbage out of that duffel bag,
then he throws the bag down violently and comes again to our vehicle.
In the Dream I thought to myself, “That bag could make a nice souvenir.”
Before I could touch it, Dr. King grabs me by my shoulders and says,
“NO! Do not go back and pick that up.”
He starts telling me what I need to do to heal the race issue in America.
I wake up from the Dream in tears.
I didn't realize I was weeping in intersession the whole night.
My pillow was soaked with tears.
I shared the Dream with Lou Engle and we began to pray God for 
the interpretation.
I said, “God, remind me - what did Dr. King say to me?”
The Lord said to me, “William, the white bag with the black handles.”
I realized, “Oh my God the black handles represented how I, as a black man,
have been handling my white baggage.”
God was saying to me, “William get rid of your white baggage, you've
been carrying it for way too long.”
I had been exposed to racism from white people in my life and I saw everybody 
through that veil.
That's the devil's diabolical plot, he is the accuser of the brethren. (Revelation 12:10)
The Greek word for accuser is our word for “categorized.”
So, the diabolical plot of the enemy is to get us to categorize and stereotype 
each other so that before we ever had one conversation with each other
we put some veil in front of it.
God was saying to me, “Get rid of your resentment. Get rid of your unforgiveness.
Get rid of your bitterness and get rid of your white baggage so you can
get into a new vehicle that can bring revival and  justice for everybody.”
That's the question for everybody right now.
“What color is your baggage?”
Only a united church can heal the division in our nation.
