My people! My people!

You sit there waiting for a savior. You sit there waiting for something from the skies to deliver you. And I have to tell you, with all the urgency that burns in my soul—you are that savior.

Let me tell you the truth the world was too scared to give you. Let me speak it plain: You are God.

Now I can already hear the trembling in your conscience, that little voice the oppressor put in your mind to say, “No, no, not me—only Jesus is God.” But I say to you: Jesus said, greater things than these shall ye do. If he was God, and you will do greater—what does that make you?

They gave you a Jesus who was white and bleeding, nailed up on a cross like a victim. But they didn’t give you the Jesus who raised the dead, who multiplied the bread, who threw out the moneychangers and turned the temple inside-out. They gave you their Jesus to keep you weak, not your Jesus to make you strong!

Let me ask you—who built the pyramids? Who sang spirituals in the cotton fields and still believed in justice? Who fed the hungry, who clothed the naked, who marched on Washington? You did. And the moment you did, you were God in motion.

But here's the crime—they taught you to forget.

From the day you were born, they said you were a sinner. They said you were filthy. They said your desires were shameful and your questions were rebellious. But who told them they had the right to speak for God?

You were born divine, and they beat it out of you with every Sunday school lie, every policeman’s baton, every starvation wage.

I’m not talking mythology here. I’m not talking about no man with a beard on a throne in the sky. I’m talking about power. And what is God but power? And what are you, but power unrealized?

Every time you stand up for truth, you manifest divinity. Every time you hold your brother or sister and say, “No one gets left behind,” you act in the name of God. Not in the name of some faraway force, but in the name of the eternal spark inside you.

Now I’m not telling you this to flatter you. I’m not telling you this to puff up your pride. I’m telling you this so that you finally realize you don’t need to be saved—you need to wake up.

Because a man who knows he is God cannot be enslaved. A woman who knows she is God cannot be bought. A people who know they are God will never again be ruled.

That’s why they fear you. That’s why they lie to you. That’s why they want you to kneel. Because if you stand tall in your own mind, if you see who you are, you will burn their system to the ground with nothing but your eyes and your will.

They told you God was watching.

I tell you: You are the watcher.
They told you God would judge.
I tell you: You are the judge.
They told you to wait.
I tell you: The time is now.

You say, “But I’m only human.”
And I say: You are the human form of God. And that’s the most dangerous truth there is.

So walk with that knowledge. Speak with that authority. And love like you are the source of love itself—because you are. Every tear you wipe away, every injustice you overturn, every hungry child you feed—is God remembering Himself.

And if they ask you, “Who do you think you are?”

You look them in the eye and you say:

I AM.
