CHRIST instructed this man to watch his thinking so that

            he doesn’t fall into his old patterns that made and kept
            him  sick. 62   Proverbs  23:7  (NKJV)  teaches,  “For  as  he
            thinks  in  his  heart,  so  is  he.”  Also,  2  Corinthians  2:14

            (NIV) further encourages us: “But thanks be to GOD, who
            always leads us in victory through CHRIST. GOD uses us

            to  spread  HIS  knowledge  everywhere  like  a  sweet-
            smelling perfume”.  We simply need to follow.


            Fact  –  White  people  are  inherently  privileged  and

            inherently  guilty:  White  privilege  is  a  social
            phenomenon  that  explains  an  inherent  collection  of

            favored benefits or circumstances which are not earned,
            that have been granted to white people.   One is  born

            for  no  other  apparent  reason.  White  privilege  is

            frequently  used  in  concert  with  such  academic
            perspectives  as  Critical  Race  Theory  to  analyze  the
            effects of so-called race and racism on society.


            White guilt are the feelings of shame and remorse white
            people  experience  when  they  recognize  the  legacy  of

            racism and “racial” injustice and perceive the ways they

            have  benefited  from  it.    White  privilege  often  breeds
            white guilt.   Simone Kirwan in her work entitled, “White
            Privilege and White Guilt, An Analysis of “White Privilege

            and White Guilt” explains that “…white people who are
