Greetings Beloved,
Welcome to Let's Grow Together - The Blog where each week, The Felecia Killings Foundation delivers empowering lessons that teach leaders with conservative values how to thrive in the social, political, and economic spheres.
I am Coach Felecia Killings, and if you’ve followed my platform over the last several years, you know I speak often about God the Holy Spirit and our need to know Him personally.
As a Believer, I (like many others) have been instructed to “make disciples” of all nations, teaching people the empowering Gospel message wherever we go.
The Gospel message — the Kingdom message — has the power to save souls and transform lives.
And I’ve used the virtual space to accomplish that mission, primarily by teaching Beloveds like you how to know God for yourself and how to practice His principles so you thrive in the social, political, and economic spheres.
This new blog series, entitled “Kingdom Laws and Spiritual Principles,” is designed to help you better understand the concepts I preach regularly.
Whether you receive the teachings or not is up to you. I am solely responsible for delivering the message.
My prayer, however, is that the eyes of your understanding would be enlightened so you know the hope and calling God has for you. And I pray that through The Foundation and our work of ministry, you come to see signs and wonders following the preaching and teaching of His Word.
Disclaimer: My goal with these lessons isn’t to bring you religion but to show you the pathway towards relationship with God. You will know the truth of this message when you begin to sense His presence and see His wonders manifesting in your life.
As the Scriptures teach, “For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power” (1 Corinthians 4:20). The Ancient Texts provide stories that demonstrate how God spoke to and revealed His essence to those who had a genuine relationship with Him.
And that’s the message I will bring to you.
God is ever present right now, and when you know Him for yourself, you can and will do great exploits.
So, grab your notepad and pen, and let’s get into this teaching.

Who is God the Holy Spirit?
“I’m not spiritually educated,” said one Beloved to me in Twitter Class.
At the time, I was discussing God the Holy Spirit on my platform and teaching Beloveds how to recognize His principles so they prospered.
Many people today feel just like that Beloved.
Spiritually unaware.
Spiritually uneducated.
And far too many people in the Church nationwide share this same experience.
Back in 2016, when I first launched my virtual ministry using Facebook, I was astonished to see how many Christian Conservatives knew next to nothing about God the Holy Spirit and the Kingdom message.
Bringing forth basic teachings such as “Loving your neighbor as yourself” or “Do unto others what you want done to you” seemed to evade the larger base.
And it was in that moment that I realized my “spiritual” privilege.
In other words, having knowledge of or a relationship with God the Holy Spirit was so new and foreign to people while it had been a norm for me growing up.
Dad and Darlin are the first two spiritual leaders who cultivated my understanding about God the Holy Spirit, the gifts He provides, and the working of miracles (i.e. signs and wonders).
Both parents taught me that God was not far off from me. Rather, He was an ever-present Help, especially in times of trouble.
God’s essence became even more real to me back in 2010 when I thought my life was over, a story I chronicle in my memoir, To My Beloveds: A Memoir of My Personal Comeback in the Aftermath of My Scandalous Story.
In Job 42:5, Job stated, “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You.”
You see, something truly remarkable happens when calamity strikes those of us who think we really know God. We find, it’s in those darkest moments when we truly experience His presence and power.
Jesus describes God the Holy Spirit in these ways:
In context, we understand God the Holy Spirit is a person, albeit not a physical being. He speaks to those who are acquainted with God the Father and He reveals things to come.
Paul further added: “For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God” (I Corinthians 2:11).
This means it is possible for those of us who know God to also know His thoughts, because the Spirit of Truth reveals them to us.
Ephesians 4:30 teaches us that we can grieve the Holy Spirit with our vain talks and bitter attitudes, further proving the personage or personal qualities of the Holy Spirit.
Just as you and I have a spirit that knows us better than anyone else, even so, the Holy Spirit expresses to us the mind and will of God.
In the Old Testament, the Ancient Texts teach us that the Holy Spirit rested on a few individuals, namely God’s pure prophets, who readily delivered God’s instructions.
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me, for the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the LORD’s favor has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies. To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory. (Isaiah 61:1-3)
In Numbers 11:29, the Scriptures read, “But Moses said to him, ‘Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the LORD’S people were prophets, that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them!’”
You see, when the Spirit of God rests upon an individual, that person’s entire being is transformed because he or she has become intimately acquainted with God Himself.
It is quite possible to have the laws of God written on the tablets of our hearts so we may know His ways and prosper in everything we say and do.
In today’s time, God has chosen to make Himself known to anyone who calls upon Him.
That includes you, Beloved.
And there is no title, no degree, no accolade, and no religious position you must hold in order to access God for yourself.
In fact, in Acts 2:17-18, it reads, “Now, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.”
Those of us who have been called to function in the prophetic office (as described in Ephesians 4) are instructed to teach the people how to know and hear God as we do. The evidence of our connection with Him is proven in the message we preach and the wonders that follow that preaching.
For this reason, I speak heavily about the laws of God and I allow the Holy Spirit to prove His power through signs and wonders that follow my teachings, namely His efforts to confirm the prophetic word I speak.
This power is not relegated to the church world as we expect.
No, it can manifest in the social, political, and economic spheres.
And all those who decide to make the Holy Spirit their Partner, their Helper, their Comforter and more will experience great wonders.

Jesus describes God the Holy Spirit in these ways:
- “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever — the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.” (John 14:15-17)
- “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” (John 14:26)
- “But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth]. For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future].” (John 16:13)
In context, we understand God the Holy Spirit is a person, albeit not a physical being. He speaks to those who are acquainted with God the Father and He reveals things to come.
Paul further added: “For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God” (I Corinthians 2:11).

Injecting Kingdom Laws and Spiritual Principles to Help Us Build Social, Political, and Economic Empires
Whenever teaching a new group of people, I start with the basic foundation: spiritual laws and Kingdom principles.
As most Beloveds know, I pull my teachings and revelation from the Scriptures, Jesus’s words, and the Holy Spirit’s inspiration. I recognize that while my faith is rooted in these truths, not everyone in the Beloved Tribe acquaints themselves with Christianity, and that’s okay. In truth, you will rarely hear me call myself a Christian. Instead, I identify as a Believer, a daughter of God, and a mouthpiece in His Kingdom.
When Jesus walked the earth, He didn’t come to establish a religion (like Christianity). He brought the Kingdom and its message to the people. He functioned under the Holy Spirit’s direction. For this reason, He could perform many signs and wonders.
Today, the Holy Spirit rests on anyone — and I mean ANYONE — who says “Yes!” to Him.
Religion places unbearable conditions on people, which often pose a stumbling block to the Kingdom message. But relationship with the Holy Spirit — who reveals all truths and shows us things to come (John 16) — removes barriers.
The Holy Spirit anoints even the worst of the worst with the ability to preach the Kingdom message (study Paul’s story to learn more). And for that reason, I preach heavily that in today’s time, during this revival and reformation, the Holy Spirit will use the “least of these.”
When we approach our spheres from this perspective, it’s easier for us to see how Kingdom principles inject themselves in our social, political, and economic spaces.
For example, one of the most important spiritual laws is the Law of Love: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (John 13:34 NIV).
When we understand what love is, we realize how it can manifest in our world. If we love our neighbor, we won’t murder him. If we love our communities, we won’t create policies that destroy them. If we love our spouses, we won’t abuse them.
Spiritual laws and Kingdom principles are embedded in our worlds; and when we use them in service of God and man, we reap the blessing.

The Essence of Conscious Conservatism
Most Black Conservative influencers you see brought themselves into the limelight within the last few years.
I, on the other hand, was pushed into this space. The Holy Spirit had a message to deliver to the people in this sphere; and back when I was a teenager, I promised Him I would deliver whatever He wanted me to bring. Little did I know He wanted this message brought to this political arena.
As I observed the regular happenings in the general Conservative Movement, I noticed how the people and their prophets used the Lord’s name as the basis for dehumanizing people groups. This behavior reflected what I read in history books, but to see it play out in real time was astounding.
As I spoke against the godless ideas, I also taught why conservatism continues losing because we are abusing spiritual laws and calling it a God-thing. If we aim to conserve truths or to conserve certain social traditions, then we need to do things God’s way so we obtain His results.
Out of those teachings emerged a new movement and message called the Conscious Conservative message. Simply put, this Movement puts our focus back on God’s laws (Kingdom principles) and shows how our consciousness must be locked into God’s consciousness. If we apply His precepts in our communities, we will witness revival, reformation, and a renaissance.
This empowering message has reached millions online within less than a year. Its growing acceptance is felt among all people. As someone who focuses her attention on Black Empowerment, I simply apply this Kingdom-focused message to Black communities, using them as an example of what other leaders can do in their respective circles.
I don’t relegate the Kingdom message to our churches or religious spaces. That’s not why the Kingdom is here. Instead, I bring the message to “the four corners of the earth” — or in my case, the many facets of virtual spheres — because it is just that powerful.
And for my platform, politics and the Kingdom message are not mutually exclusive.
In fact, the Kingdom of God is its own type of government. Therefore, it only makes sense why a Kingdom message should be injected in our political spaces, because a Kingdom message guarantees long-term success.
For this reason, the essence of Conscious Conservatism is to build social, political, and economic empires based on Kingdom principles.
As you move through the rest of this lesson, I want you to consider how your story fits within these spheres. Knowing where you are called to minister will also help lay the foundation for your venture’s success.
Spiritual laws do not discriminate. Instead, they empower groups to conquer earthly obstacles, no matter the trials.
As we dive into this lesson, consider how each law applies to you and your family, and how your platform will function in partnership with The Felecia Killings Foundation and The Conscious Conservative Movement.
The Law of Love
Every action we take comes from our desire to please someone. This desire is best understood as deep love or admiration. When we visit the Scriptures, we learn God is Love, and He demonstrated this love by sending us His Son (John 3:16).
Love is the bedrock of our faith. It is the driving force that keeps us from doing harm to others. Love is the greatest law (I Corinthians 13:13).
Quite often, when working with Conservatives on Twitter, I teach them that referring to Black Americans as “slaves on a plantation” is not a demonstration of love for fellow citizens. It is dehumanizing. It is racist. Such terminology is only used against the descendants of American slaves because this voting bloc chooses to vote Democrat.
Our Conservative platform boasts of being “Christian.” Yet, it preaches an abusive, oppressive message meant to paint an inferior picture of Black citizens.
For years, I battled that one simple statement on my platform. I told the people, “You will not attract folks using racist rhetoric that will get you slapped in the streets.”
Imagine Conservatives calling Jews “Concentration Camp Dwellers” for showing allegiance to the Democratic Party. We would never conceive such a thought because that would be considered “hate speech.” Yet, we find it tolerable and admirable to refer to Black Americans as “slaves,” despite their growing excellence and resilience.
Such actions and words do not come from a place of love but one of hate. And as you will discover later in this lesson, the Law of Sowing and Reaping is always in effect.
When discussing conservatism — whether politically, financially, or socially — we must come back to this Law of Love. We must ask ourselves, “Do the words I speak come from Love? Am I displaying actions that prove I love fellow Black Americans?” If the answer is no, step back and consider a different approach.
This teaching is both applicable to Black Conservatives and White Conservatives.
As Conscious Ones, we make it a point to do everything from this place of love.
The Law of Mercy and Grace
The 2nd pillar of Conscious Conservatism is the Law of Mercy and Grace.
Mercy is more than “undeserved favor.”
It is compassion.
Compassion is more than feeling sorry for someone else.
It involves connecting your passion with another person’s soul.
When I connect my heart to other people, I empathize with their sufferings. I can feel their hurt and pain. I am in tune with their struggles. When in this place, I am least likely to misjudge them or condemn them, for I know if I were going through their struggle, I would want them to show me mercy.
Let me give an example to illustrate this point.
If you take a look at Conservatives’ former attitude towards Black Americans suffering from “Stop and Frisk” policies, you will see something disturbing.
Not an ounce of sympathy or compassion for American citizens who were having their rights violated daily. When Conscious Black Conservative voices said, “Defend fellow Americans,” the Conservative camp responded, “Those policies are for their own good and will stop the violence in their neighborhoods.”
When we shared stories of young Black men who were afraid to leave their homes because of “Stop and Frisk,” this did not matter to Conservatives. They pushed “homicide stats” and justified their full support of the police state with a social media movement (#BackTheBlue).
The Conservative camp exercised zero compassion and mercy for fellow Americans who were suffering in today’s America. They did not feel their struggle or pain, mostly because they had not mastered the first Law. And because of that, their actions enlarged the race barrier. This ought not be so among the camp that preaches Christianity.
Only Kingdom-minded, higher conscious people can execute the Law of Mercy effectively. It requires crucifying our narcissism and embracing God’s form of redemption.
The Law of Mercy prevents us from executing unrighteous judgment. In the case of “Stop and Frisk,” had Conservatives put themselves in Black Americans’ shoes, they would have never defended such reckless lawlessness. Black Americans are not second-class citizens; yet that is what Conservatives defended vehemently. They did not take time to discover the true intent and purpose for Black people’s protests, even when they had voices ready to teach them how.
This is what happens when the Law of Mercy is not executed effectively. The only solution is full repentance. Once this occurs, Mercy makes ways for compassion and redemption.
The Law of Mercy rejects prejudice and compels us to show love towards those who aren’t like us. We must ask ourselves, “Do we only show mercy towards those whose ideological beliefs align with our own? Do we only feel compassion towards those who look like us or think like us? Do we have enough compassion to fight for people who are being mistreated, even if we cannot fully understand the oppression?”
As Conscious Conservatives, we don’t have to like everything that comes from Liberals or Progressives. We don’t have to adopt their agendas. But the Law of Love and Mercy compels us to show grace to the person when it is most needed.
The Law of Reconciliation
The 3rd pillar of Conscious Conservatism is the Law of Reconciliation. This Law compels us to see people through the eyes of the Spirit (2 Corinthians 5:11-21).
Every person has a story, and some stories are dark and controversial. Some stories are bleak and wretched. Some stories are traumatic and unnerving.
But for those of us who have been redeemed, we learn to see other people as God sees them. This is how the world is reconciled back to the Father.
When we treat people according to what man says about them, we diminish their impact in our society. For example, for over a decade, I kept silent about my scandalous story. I allowed people to think whatever they wanted to think about me, even as I launched my virtual ministry. I did so because the Holy Spirit and I were looking to see who could receive His message and gifts, which emerged from a “controversial” vessel.
I knew if people could receive me, they could receive the other voices who would emerge, voices who have worse stories than mine.
It wasn’t until January 2020 when I finally released my memoir chronicling my assault and ultimate victory. And by that time, enough people had “passed the test,” proving they could receive from just about anyone who has a message of empowerment. In truth, these followers learned to see me through the eyes of the Spirit. And this is what must be done for all people.
The Law of Reconciliation forces us to remember our own past. It forces us to consider the grace we received when we did not deserve such favor. When we contemplate this, it is easier for us to live harmoniously with other people, because we’ve learned not to misjudge folks.
On the contrary, when we choose to see people based on what the media say, for example, we strip ourselves of opportunities to build community. We easily become enemies to people who do not look like us. We see people in ways God never intended. And when we do so, we invite the Law of Sowing and Reaping to judge us according to the measure we issued.
The Law of Truth and Justice
The 4th pillar involves Truth and Justice. This Law compels us to stand firmly on what agrees with God’s standards.
Truth, for many people, is subjective. But to Conscious Conservatives, Truth is based solely on what God says concerning a matter.
For example, it is a great evil to see the wicked go unpunished. When an injustice occurs, such actions typically violate basic spiritual laws.
Years ago, the entire Conservative Camp experienced another uproar as a Black man — Ahmaud Arbery — was chased down and shot by two white men. The entire scene was recorded; and when the video was released, public outcry ensued.
To the camp, the vast majority vilified the victim. They searched for “evidence” to support why Ahmaud was not “just a jogger” who happened to get murdered. They pulled up his past criminal record as if his death meant nothing.
This has been the ongoing nature of the Conservative camp for a while, especially when it comes to Black Americans.
Had it not been for the Principled Black Republicans and Conscious Black Conservative Voices, the camp would have continued their incessant remarks.
As evidence emerged, we learned the victim was, in fact, a victim. He committed no crime. He didn’t deserve to be killed, especially on video. His murderers walked away FREELY for months; and had the video not leaked to the public, the men would still be free.
In this case, we see why Truth and Justice are necessary Laws. We must always fight for what is right. We must always stand for those who have been harmed or oppressed. In doing so, we save the lives of others. We prevent other people from becoming victims, because we set the standard.
And when we do this for the “least of these,” we inevitably give God permission to defend us during our time of need. (I prove how this Law worked in my own case, which can be read in my memoir, To My Beloveds.)
The Law of Faith and Power
The 5th pillar consists of Faith and Power.
When combined with the previous Laws, Faith releases Power that causes us to do the impossible.
Faith is more than a belief system.
Faith is a mindset. It encompasses vision. What we see is what we manifest in the natural.
When I first received the vision for Conscious Black Conservatism, I could see the rising social, political, and economic empires emerging across the nation.
I could see thriving Black Communities in various states. I could see Black families prospering in ways we have yet to see. I could see our economics becoming so vast, we never look to the government or any entity — except our own — to thrive.
My faith — or vision — stirred the power to write and preach the message. I took to Twitter, constructed the books, and connected with fellow Influencers who had a heart for Black Americans. I put power behind my faith; and now we see the message reaching millions.
When it comes to changing our communities, we must remember that nothing will be accomplished unless faith is at the forefront. We must have faith in each other, faith in our visions, faith in our abilities, and faith that God will perform what He said He will do.
When we remain in this mindset, all power is given to us to prosper.
The Law of Attraction
The 6th pillar within Conscious Conservatism is the Law of Attraction. This Law compels us to speak what we envision and to give thanks that we have received what we ask.
If I speak in the atmosphere, “Black Americans are a thriving people, capable of doing extraordinary things,” I attract positive responses from Black Americans who see themselves as successful and prosperous.
To the contrary, if I put negative statements regarding Black Americans in the sphere, I attract disdain from the people I claim to be reaching.
This is what we often see happening in the Conservative Camp.
The mainstream pundits push disgusting rhetoric from their platforms regarding Black people. And when they do this, especially because they are 99% WHITE, they appear racist.
In fact, this is why the Conservative Party is considered the racist party among minority groups.
Therefore, if the Conservative Camp wishes to attract Black Americans to their platform, the answer is simple: Become appealing to the ones you wish to reach. Otherwise, you repel.
The Law of Action
The 7th pillar within Conscious Conservatism is the Law of Action. Without action, we cannot expect to manifest anything in the natural.
The Law of Action coincides with Faith. Based on what we see, we receive plans that help us put action behind our vision.
Many people talk the talk, but they won’t walk the walk. They speak evil of Black Americans, but they won’t put in the work to help improve certain communities.
This is what we see often within the general Black Conservative Movement. In fact, this tension has resulted in the modern “Civil War” within our space. On one hand, you have Black Conservatives who lie about Black Americans, demean them, dehumanize them, and do everything in their power to appeal to White racists in the camp.
They know the power of their words. They know they are causing more division. But they do it anyway.
Then you have the other group who love Black Americans, who seek to empower, who desire to enrich, and who have the power to elevate. Yet, each time we preach conservatism, we are instantly misjudged as the caricatures in our camp, who receive mainstream media attention.
As I shared with my Twitter Beloveds:
I wouldn’t have so much fire to throw at the Mainstream Black Conservatives if they would simply stop lying about Black Americans. I wouldn’t care if they had all the attention. But when they push these lies, it makes it IMPOSSIBLE to effectively evangelize conservatism in our communities. Therefore, the Establishment Black Conservatives receive my fire.
When we learn how best to put action behind our faith, we will see our communities thrive.
The Law of Thanksgiving
The 8th pillar is that of Thanksgiving.
In everything, we must give thanks. This act helps us receive more of what we need to thrive.
Thanksgiving is one of the most underutilized Laws. It’s easy to complain about our situations. We see this behavior among Black Conservatives who constantly complain about Black Americans.
They provide no solutions to our communities. They simply tell them, “Stop voting Democrat,” as if Republicans are the true political saviors.
Because of their constant disdain, they attract discontent. Because of their constant complaints, they open the door to hostility.
God had a way of handling complainers. We need only study how He dealt with the Children of Israel as they complained in the wilderness. Their complaints demonstrated their lack of faith.
But when Thanksgiving enters the picture, we position ourselves to receive more blessings from Heaven.
Being grateful for the success of one Black American leads to the success of another. You often see this behavior happening within the Conscious Black Conservative circle. We readily promote the health and wellness of Black Americans who are thriving in business, family, and culture. We love to see it. We embrace it. And we give thanks for it.
Such appreciation causes other people to desire success and excellence. Again, this is how the Law works. And as we continue exercising it, we will see tremendous results in our Movement.
The Law of Forgiveness
The 9th pillar within Conscious Conservatism is the Law of Forgiveness.
For many people, forgiveness means ignoring an offender of his wrongdoings and pretending it never happened. But that is not the full scope of forgiveness.
Forgiveness produces internal healing for us, even if the offender does not seek it from us. Forgiveness gives God permission to forgive our own shortcomings.
Of the Laws, this one is the most challenging for me. I spent more than a decade dealing with offenders and seeing them walk free. I have dealt with social media smears for no other reason than standing by the conservative principles that require us to do right by Black Americans. And for me, I developed a fire that allows me to consume my enemies. I’ve had to learn to contain this fire, using it only to demolish godless ideologies and not people.
Sometimes, I master this Law.
Other times, I fail it.
Nevertheless, I am reminded that when I issue forgiveness to my enemy, I stand in position to receive God’s forgiveness. This grants me an open door into His presence. When I’m in His presence, I can ask for anything I need and desire, and He grants it to me.
But if my heart is full of unforgiveness, I can’t expect anything from Him.
For this reason, the Law of Forgiveness remains a pillar in our Movement. Even as we seek to tear down the lies perpetrated within our general Black Conservative Movement, we must remember to exercise forgiveness.
The Law of Sowing and Reaping
The final pillar within the Conscious Conservative Movement is the Law of Sowing and Reaping. While each Law is important, this Law carries greater weight because of its power to propel or suppress our work.
The Law of Sowing and Reaping is simple: What I do to you will be done to me. What I sow into the atmosphere, I will reap a harvest of that seed.
If I sow hatred of Black Americans to the Conservative camp, I reap hatred from Black Americans.
If I sow faith and empowerment, I receive encouragement and support from the same group.
When we celebrate the violation of rights for Black Americans, we can expect our rights to be violated next. Those of us in Twitter Class observed this in 2020 as the government shut down our businesses and banned us from socializing because of the plague.
When Black Americans complained about a similar local policy that did this to them, Conservatives said, “It’s for their own good.” But the second such regulations hit their doorstep, suddenly they were at a loss.
This is how the Law of Sowing and Reaping works. The results never come back as a small thing. The harvest manifests in multiplication. While Black Americans voiced their frustrations at the LOCAL level, Conservatives who celebrated their oppression received a NATIONAL version of “Stop and Frisk.”
Again, these are only examples. Therefore, if we wish to see our Movement expand, we must remember to sow good seed so we generate a good harvest.
We Must Master These Spiritual Laws to See Great Results
Spiritual laws remain at the forefront of the Conscious Conservative Movement. We won’t do anything to violate these laws, because we don’t want to receive the consequences that come from it.
As you seek to empower the people God called you to serve, remember to apply the principles that lead to your social, political, and economic success.
If we learn to master these laws, we will see tremendous results in our families, homes, communities, and nation.
I, on the other hand, was pushed into this space. The Holy Spirit had a message to deliver to the people in this sphere; and back when I was a teenager, I promised Him I would deliver whatever He wanted me to bring. Little did I know He wanted this message brought to this political arena.
As I observed the regular happenings in the general Conservative Movement, I noticed how the people and their prophets used the Lord’s name as the basis for dehumanizing people groups. This behavior reflected what I read in history books, but to see it play out in real time was astounding.
As I spoke against the godless ideas, I also taught why conservatism continues losing because we are abusing spiritual laws and calling it a God-thing. If we aim to conserve truths or to conserve certain social traditions, then we need to do things God’s way so we obtain His results.
Out of those teachings emerged a new movement and message called the Conscious Conservative message. Simply put, this Movement puts our focus back on God’s laws (Kingdom principles) and shows how our consciousness must be locked into God’s consciousness. If we apply His precepts in our communities, we will witness revival, reformation, and a renaissance.
This empowering message has reached millions online within less than a year. Its growing acceptance is felt among all people. As someone who focuses her attention on Black Empowerment, I simply apply this Kingdom-focused message to Black communities, using them as an example of what other leaders can do in their respective circles.
I don’t relegate the Kingdom message to our churches or religious spaces. That’s not why the Kingdom is here. Instead, I bring the message to “the four corners of the earth” — or in my case, the many facets of virtual spheres — because it is just that powerful.
And for my platform, politics and the Kingdom message are not mutually exclusive.
In fact, the Kingdom of God is its own type of government. Therefore, it only makes sense why a Kingdom message should be injected in our political spaces, because a Kingdom message guarantees long-term success.
For this reason, the essence of Conscious Conservatism is to build social, political, and economic empires based on Kingdom principles.
As you move through the rest of this lesson, I want you to consider how your story fits within these spheres. Knowing where you are called to minister will also help lay the foundation for your venture’s success.
Spiritual laws do not discriminate. Instead, they empower groups to conquer earthly obstacles, no matter the trials.
As we dive into this lesson, consider how each law applies to you and your family, and how your platform will function in partnership with The Felecia Killings Foundation and The Conscious Conservative Movement.
The Law of Love
Every action we take comes from our desire to please someone. This desire is best understood as deep love or admiration. When we visit the Scriptures, we learn God is Love, and He demonstrated this love by sending us His Son (John 3:16).
Love is the bedrock of our faith. It is the driving force that keeps us from doing harm to others. Love is the greatest law (I Corinthians 13:13).
Quite often, when working with Conservatives on Twitter, I teach them that referring to Black Americans as “slaves on a plantation” is not a demonstration of love for fellow citizens. It is dehumanizing. It is racist. Such terminology is only used against the descendants of American slaves because this voting bloc chooses to vote Democrat.
Our Conservative platform boasts of being “Christian.” Yet, it preaches an abusive, oppressive message meant to paint an inferior picture of Black citizens.
For years, I battled that one simple statement on my platform. I told the people, “You will not attract folks using racist rhetoric that will get you slapped in the streets.”
Imagine Conservatives calling Jews “Concentration Camp Dwellers” for showing allegiance to the Democratic Party. We would never conceive such a thought because that would be considered “hate speech.” Yet, we find it tolerable and admirable to refer to Black Americans as “slaves,” despite their growing excellence and resilience.
Such actions and words do not come from a place of love but one of hate. And as you will discover later in this lesson, the Law of Sowing and Reaping is always in effect.
When discussing conservatism — whether politically, financially, or socially — we must come back to this Law of Love. We must ask ourselves, “Do the words I speak come from Love? Am I displaying actions that prove I love fellow Black Americans?” If the answer is no, step back and consider a different approach.
This teaching is both applicable to Black Conservatives and White Conservatives.
As Conscious Ones, we make it a point to do everything from this place of love.
The Law of Mercy and Grace
The 2nd pillar of Conscious Conservatism is the Law of Mercy and Grace.
Mercy is more than “undeserved favor.”
It is compassion.
Compassion is more than feeling sorry for someone else.
It involves connecting your passion with another person’s soul.
When I connect my heart to other people, I empathize with their sufferings. I can feel their hurt and pain. I am in tune with their struggles. When in this place, I am least likely to misjudge them or condemn them, for I know if I were going through their struggle, I would want them to show me mercy.
Let me give an example to illustrate this point.
If you take a look at Conservatives’ former attitude towards Black Americans suffering from “Stop and Frisk” policies, you will see something disturbing.
Not an ounce of sympathy or compassion for American citizens who were having their rights violated daily. When Conscious Black Conservative voices said, “Defend fellow Americans,” the Conservative camp responded, “Those policies are for their own good and will stop the violence in their neighborhoods.”
When we shared stories of young Black men who were afraid to leave their homes because of “Stop and Frisk,” this did not matter to Conservatives. They pushed “homicide stats” and justified their full support of the police state with a social media movement (#BackTheBlue).
The Conservative camp exercised zero compassion and mercy for fellow Americans who were suffering in today’s America. They did not feel their struggle or pain, mostly because they had not mastered the first Law. And because of that, their actions enlarged the race barrier. This ought not be so among the camp that preaches Christianity.
Only Kingdom-minded, higher conscious people can execute the Law of Mercy effectively. It requires crucifying our narcissism and embracing God’s form of redemption.
The Law of Mercy prevents us from executing unrighteous judgment. In the case of “Stop and Frisk,” had Conservatives put themselves in Black Americans’ shoes, they would have never defended such reckless lawlessness. Black Americans are not second-class citizens; yet that is what Conservatives defended vehemently. They did not take time to discover the true intent and purpose for Black people’s protests, even when they had voices ready to teach them how.
This is what happens when the Law of Mercy is not executed effectively. The only solution is full repentance. Once this occurs, Mercy makes ways for compassion and redemption.
The Law of Mercy rejects prejudice and compels us to show love towards those who aren’t like us. We must ask ourselves, “Do we only show mercy towards those whose ideological beliefs align with our own? Do we only feel compassion towards those who look like us or think like us? Do we have enough compassion to fight for people who are being mistreated, even if we cannot fully understand the oppression?”
As Conscious Conservatives, we don’t have to like everything that comes from Liberals or Progressives. We don’t have to adopt their agendas. But the Law of Love and Mercy compels us to show grace to the person when it is most needed.
The Law of Reconciliation
The 3rd pillar of Conscious Conservatism is the Law of Reconciliation. This Law compels us to see people through the eyes of the Spirit (2 Corinthians 5:11-21).
Every person has a story, and some stories are dark and controversial. Some stories are bleak and wretched. Some stories are traumatic and unnerving.
But for those of us who have been redeemed, we learn to see other people as God sees them. This is how the world is reconciled back to the Father.
When we treat people according to what man says about them, we diminish their impact in our society. For example, for over a decade, I kept silent about my scandalous story. I allowed people to think whatever they wanted to think about me, even as I launched my virtual ministry. I did so because the Holy Spirit and I were looking to see who could receive His message and gifts, which emerged from a “controversial” vessel.
I knew if people could receive me, they could receive the other voices who would emerge, voices who have worse stories than mine.
It wasn’t until January 2020 when I finally released my memoir chronicling my assault and ultimate victory. And by that time, enough people had “passed the test,” proving they could receive from just about anyone who has a message of empowerment. In truth, these followers learned to see me through the eyes of the Spirit. And this is what must be done for all people.
The Law of Reconciliation forces us to remember our own past. It forces us to consider the grace we received when we did not deserve such favor. When we contemplate this, it is easier for us to live harmoniously with other people, because we’ve learned not to misjudge folks.
On the contrary, when we choose to see people based on what the media say, for example, we strip ourselves of opportunities to build community. We easily become enemies to people who do not look like us. We see people in ways God never intended. And when we do so, we invite the Law of Sowing and Reaping to judge us according to the measure we issued.
The Law of Truth and Justice
The 4th pillar involves Truth and Justice. This Law compels us to stand firmly on what agrees with God’s standards.
Truth, for many people, is subjective. But to Conscious Conservatives, Truth is based solely on what God says concerning a matter.
For example, it is a great evil to see the wicked go unpunished. When an injustice occurs, such actions typically violate basic spiritual laws.
Years ago, the entire Conservative Camp experienced another uproar as a Black man — Ahmaud Arbery — was chased down and shot by two white men. The entire scene was recorded; and when the video was released, public outcry ensued.
To the camp, the vast majority vilified the victim. They searched for “evidence” to support why Ahmaud was not “just a jogger” who happened to get murdered. They pulled up his past criminal record as if his death meant nothing.
This has been the ongoing nature of the Conservative camp for a while, especially when it comes to Black Americans.
Had it not been for the Principled Black Republicans and Conscious Black Conservative Voices, the camp would have continued their incessant remarks.
As evidence emerged, we learned the victim was, in fact, a victim. He committed no crime. He didn’t deserve to be killed, especially on video. His murderers walked away FREELY for months; and had the video not leaked to the public, the men would still be free.
In this case, we see why Truth and Justice are necessary Laws. We must always fight for what is right. We must always stand for those who have been harmed or oppressed. In doing so, we save the lives of others. We prevent other people from becoming victims, because we set the standard.
And when we do this for the “least of these,” we inevitably give God permission to defend us during our time of need. (I prove how this Law worked in my own case, which can be read in my memoir, To My Beloveds.)
The Law of Faith and Power
The 5th pillar consists of Faith and Power.
When combined with the previous Laws, Faith releases Power that causes us to do the impossible.
Faith is more than a belief system.
Faith is a mindset. It encompasses vision. What we see is what we manifest in the natural.
When I first received the vision for Conscious Black Conservatism, I could see the rising social, political, and economic empires emerging across the nation.
I could see thriving Black Communities in various states. I could see Black families prospering in ways we have yet to see. I could see our economics becoming so vast, we never look to the government or any entity — except our own — to thrive.
My faith — or vision — stirred the power to write and preach the message. I took to Twitter, constructed the books, and connected with fellow Influencers who had a heart for Black Americans. I put power behind my faith; and now we see the message reaching millions.
When it comes to changing our communities, we must remember that nothing will be accomplished unless faith is at the forefront. We must have faith in each other, faith in our visions, faith in our abilities, and faith that God will perform what He said He will do.
When we remain in this mindset, all power is given to us to prosper.
The Law of Attraction
The 6th pillar within Conscious Conservatism is the Law of Attraction. This Law compels us to speak what we envision and to give thanks that we have received what we ask.
If I speak in the atmosphere, “Black Americans are a thriving people, capable of doing extraordinary things,” I attract positive responses from Black Americans who see themselves as successful and prosperous.
To the contrary, if I put negative statements regarding Black Americans in the sphere, I attract disdain from the people I claim to be reaching.
This is what we often see happening in the Conservative Camp.
The mainstream pundits push disgusting rhetoric from their platforms regarding Black people. And when they do this, especially because they are 99% WHITE, they appear racist.
In fact, this is why the Conservative Party is considered the racist party among minority groups.
Therefore, if the Conservative Camp wishes to attract Black Americans to their platform, the answer is simple: Become appealing to the ones you wish to reach. Otherwise, you repel.
The Law of Action
The 7th pillar within Conscious Conservatism is the Law of Action. Without action, we cannot expect to manifest anything in the natural.
The Law of Action coincides with Faith. Based on what we see, we receive plans that help us put action behind our vision.
Many people talk the talk, but they won’t walk the walk. They speak evil of Black Americans, but they won’t put in the work to help improve certain communities.
This is what we see often within the general Black Conservative Movement. In fact, this tension has resulted in the modern “Civil War” within our space. On one hand, you have Black Conservatives who lie about Black Americans, demean them, dehumanize them, and do everything in their power to appeal to White racists in the camp.
They know the power of their words. They know they are causing more division. But they do it anyway.
Then you have the other group who love Black Americans, who seek to empower, who desire to enrich, and who have the power to elevate. Yet, each time we preach conservatism, we are instantly misjudged as the caricatures in our camp, who receive mainstream media attention.
As I shared with my Twitter Beloveds:
I wouldn’t have so much fire to throw at the Mainstream Black Conservatives if they would simply stop lying about Black Americans. I wouldn’t care if they had all the attention. But when they push these lies, it makes it IMPOSSIBLE to effectively evangelize conservatism in our communities. Therefore, the Establishment Black Conservatives receive my fire.
When we learn how best to put action behind our faith, we will see our communities thrive.
The Law of Thanksgiving
The 8th pillar is that of Thanksgiving.
In everything, we must give thanks. This act helps us receive more of what we need to thrive.
Thanksgiving is one of the most underutilized Laws. It’s easy to complain about our situations. We see this behavior among Black Conservatives who constantly complain about Black Americans.
They provide no solutions to our communities. They simply tell them, “Stop voting Democrat,” as if Republicans are the true political saviors.
Because of their constant disdain, they attract discontent. Because of their constant complaints, they open the door to hostility.
God had a way of handling complainers. We need only study how He dealt with the Children of Israel as they complained in the wilderness. Their complaints demonstrated their lack of faith.
But when Thanksgiving enters the picture, we position ourselves to receive more blessings from Heaven.
Being grateful for the success of one Black American leads to the success of another. You often see this behavior happening within the Conscious Black Conservative circle. We readily promote the health and wellness of Black Americans who are thriving in business, family, and culture. We love to see it. We embrace it. And we give thanks for it.
Such appreciation causes other people to desire success and excellence. Again, this is how the Law works. And as we continue exercising it, we will see tremendous results in our Movement.
The Law of Forgiveness
The 9th pillar within Conscious Conservatism is the Law of Forgiveness.
For many people, forgiveness means ignoring an offender of his wrongdoings and pretending it never happened. But that is not the full scope of forgiveness.
Forgiveness produces internal healing for us, even if the offender does not seek it from us. Forgiveness gives God permission to forgive our own shortcomings.
Of the Laws, this one is the most challenging for me. I spent more than a decade dealing with offenders and seeing them walk free. I have dealt with social media smears for no other reason than standing by the conservative principles that require us to do right by Black Americans. And for me, I developed a fire that allows me to consume my enemies. I’ve had to learn to contain this fire, using it only to demolish godless ideologies and not people.
Sometimes, I master this Law.
Other times, I fail it.
Nevertheless, I am reminded that when I issue forgiveness to my enemy, I stand in position to receive God’s forgiveness. This grants me an open door into His presence. When I’m in His presence, I can ask for anything I need and desire, and He grants it to me.
But if my heart is full of unforgiveness, I can’t expect anything from Him.
For this reason, the Law of Forgiveness remains a pillar in our Movement. Even as we seek to tear down the lies perpetrated within our general Black Conservative Movement, we must remember to exercise forgiveness.
The Law of Sowing and Reaping
The final pillar within the Conscious Conservative Movement is the Law of Sowing and Reaping. While each Law is important, this Law carries greater weight because of its power to propel or suppress our work.
The Law of Sowing and Reaping is simple: What I do to you will be done to me. What I sow into the atmosphere, I will reap a harvest of that seed.
If I sow hatred of Black Americans to the Conservative camp, I reap hatred from Black Americans.
If I sow faith and empowerment, I receive encouragement and support from the same group.
When we celebrate the violation of rights for Black Americans, we can expect our rights to be violated next. Those of us in Twitter Class observed this in 2020 as the government shut down our businesses and banned us from socializing because of the plague.
When Black Americans complained about a similar local policy that did this to them, Conservatives said, “It’s for their own good.” But the second such regulations hit their doorstep, suddenly they were at a loss.
This is how the Law of Sowing and Reaping works. The results never come back as a small thing. The harvest manifests in multiplication. While Black Americans voiced their frustrations at the LOCAL level, Conservatives who celebrated their oppression received a NATIONAL version of “Stop and Frisk.”
Again, these are only examples. Therefore, if we wish to see our Movement expand, we must remember to sow good seed so we generate a good harvest.
We Must Master These Spiritual Laws to See Great Results
Spiritual laws remain at the forefront of the Conscious Conservative Movement. We won’t do anything to violate these laws, because we don’t want to receive the consequences that come from it.
As you seek to empower the people God called you to serve, remember to apply the principles that lead to your social, political, and economic success.
If we learn to master these laws, we will see tremendous results in our families, homes, communities, and nation.
