Abba Yahusha, Heavenly Father, may Your presence go before us and behind us. May Your Word pierce the heart like a sword, awakening our spirit to truth and purpose. May this message sow seeds of action, unity, and righteous reform. HaleluYah.

The Story Begins…

In a land carved by centuries of noise and struggle, a stillness called out from the roots of the city. Beneath the steel and traffic of Manhattan, an ancient rhythm pulsed—a silent voice echoing wisdom not in words, but in balance.

This voice was Maat, the Principle, the Order, the Law—not a person, not a deity, but a path. Maat carried within her 42 ideals, like lanterns lighting the streets of injustice, reminding every soul what it meant to live aligned with creation, not against it.

No individual spoke her name aloud, but her presence shaped the wind through East Harlem and whispered through the bricks of the Tenement Museum. Her truths resided in the shadow of Schomburg’s bookshelves and danced along the water flowing near the Temple of Dendur. Maat’s laws weren’t commands; they were mirrors. And in those mirrors, communities began to see themselves—honestly.

Halaleyah (Tellihim)-Psalm- 94:15-16 says,

"But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?"

This was not a question of blame—it was a call to clarity. Maat showed that truth is not aggressive—it is steadfast. Justice is not punishment—it is balance. In a society tilted toward deceit and silence, Maat's path offered alignment.

The Journey Through the Laws

One law whispered:

“I have not polluted myself.”

And suddenly, toxic systems lost their power when people refused to inhale their fumes.

Another:

“I have not caused the shedding of tears.”

And the city responded—schools improved, voices lifted, trauma addressed.

Another still:

“I have not oppressed the poor.”

And policies shifted—not because of force, nevertheless because truth echoed louder than greed.

These weren’t commandments shouted from mountaintops—they were values lived in daily silence. That’s where WBJMinistries walks—in the quiet places where healing begins before headlines are written.

Halaleyah (Tellihim)- Psalms -112:5-6

"A good man showeth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. Surely he shall not be moved forever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance."

Like Maat’s path, our ministry stands—not as loud crusaders, nonetheless as enduring stewards of righteousness, favor, and remembrance.
