"ATLAH Explained"
by The Honorable James David Manning, PhD

On September 14, 1991, I was home praying at my favorite place. My routine in prayer was well established; I knelt, observed the verses of the Lord's prayer as found in Matthew 6. From there as was my custom, I waited on the Holy Spirit to inspire me.
I am not sure how long I had been praying, but I heard myself say the word ATLAH: then the Holy Spirit stopped me. He then said, "see now the word you have spoken is the new name I have given for the land formerly called Harlem."
For the past sixteen years I have been preaching The Vision of, 50,000 Righteous Men Living for the Lord in the community formerly called Harlem. Essentially the answer to the problems of this Ghetto can be solved by the men becoming Righteous Men, but more importantly Almighty God will get the glory when He raises up a people who are now not a people; and the world will have to acknowledge it was the Living God who raised up this community.
