Q&A With MIISRAEL Shields

What defines a real conversation of integrity?
"A conversation that contains truth. No add ons, no pretending, just truth in knowing you can believe in what was said of you and the other person... and good speaking in hearing and sharing the conversation without gossip, hearsay or words that hurt."

Interviewed by O Z Gore 09/13/09

What is the one thing that would most help to create social equality between blacks and whites?
"The one thing that I feel would help and create equality is LOVE. We can do so much if we'd just love to love each. However, too many of us don't LOVE and equality suffers between the races of men, women, and children. One thing... LOVE. Thanks Steve, I know you already thought of that right?"

Interviewed by Steve Williams 09/13/09

What are your goals?
"Hi Sun! I'm glad you added the letter [s] on the word goals. I have reached many of them by finishing writing 3 published books. Now, I'm seeking to share them in a farther realm with people everywhere in the world..I'm talking about WINNIESPOETRY gone world-wide! In prayers and with God I consider it is well, and is done. Thank you for asking a super question! Hoping you are setting and reaching your goals too!"

Interviewed by Sun Smith 09/13/09

Do You Like To Read?
"I enjoy reading; but I'm like many readers I'm very selective. I like reading inspirational, love and contents of overcoming difficult odds. My most pleasant love is writing for those who like reading what I write! I enjoyed reading and answering this question! [Smiles] Thanks for asking .."

Interviewed by Mythical Bliss 09/12/09

On occasion 'pseudo' Christians have been met. Are you true/sincere?
"I can be truthful in saying I disregard any "faking" my following in Christ. I continue in prayer and in service to give honor to God in the work I do to edify the Lord of Heaven. I know there are plenty "pseudos" I meet them daily. Yet, I pray for them, and I try to exemply following the true way of Jesus Christ as he teaches me to become more like him."

Interviewed by Eliza Earsman 09/02/09

If walls could talk would they speak well of you?
"If walls could talk? Antre, I feel that walls do talk. It's in a silent language of one's mind. On the walls are writings of one's soul and images that are spiritual. Walls talk to me in the realm of my own existance. Hearing them speak is where I opened the barrier to examine my actions. Some walls would speak very well of me, I believe I have considered to have more of these; there are other walls that would not speak well of my actions. These walls I've covered with a fresh coat of white paint and have asked God for forgiveness in my love for him. " His Love has covered a multitude of my sins." Thank you for a provactive question."

Interviewed by Antre Drummer 07/29/09

What are your favorite movies?
"I love Jane Austen movies..all of them. I also like Batman movies too. The ones I've watched the most is a movie titled "Legend" and "The Piano" followed by Pride and Prejudice. Thanks for a great question."

Interviewed by Joseph Fenner 07/02/09

Have you ever felt like giving up?
"Being a author of several books, I have felt like I would never complete anything! Days, hours and prayers spent deemed me to think it was all so useless. However, when I felt that way I continued in using great heights of faith. Truly believing in faith I attained greater faith by trusting in Jesus. I did that when I wrote a poem called "Elevate in Faith" The first line of that poem is : When you feel like giving up!....You need to elevate in faith. Thank you for this blessed question, I much needed to answer to it."

Interviewed by Arthur Mackey 05/16/09

Who cut your hair?
"Physically or Spiritually? Physically, I cut my own hair, but I seldom do. Spiritually, I let the Lord Jesus design my head that I may serve him in truthfully and that he is the design by which my hair is fashioned. Super question if you look at from different perpectives. Thanks."

Interviewed by Derrick Hayes 12/27/08

What one word or phrase do you tend to overuse?
"I always overuse a phrase of one of book titles. "It is you that I Love!" In the book I've written 100 love poems to God. So, I say it very often that it has become my love song...I shout it "It is you that I love!'....it echoes..."

Interviewed by Craig F Nelson 12/27/08

What is your purpose, passion, and pain?
"I have a purpose to tell of a prophecy of The Lamb's bride. I do this by writing and publishing poetry of love writings from a bridal aspect. It's also my passion to give a special love in telling of this prophecy....and pain I suffer in the love of waiting on the return of Jesus Christ. I am waiting and in the pain it's all well that I hurt and yearn for him to come. I hope many will understand what I mean. I am thankful for your three part question. It was a pleasure to answer it!"

Interviewed by Brenda Nichols 12/06/08

What is your passion in life
"I have a passion to LOVE! I love wherever I go!"

Interviewed by Maurice Muhammad 11/08/08

Have your ever done a random act of kindness only so that person might pay it forward?
"Yes I have....And I've also assisted in paying forward to someone who has shown kindness to me. It involved $10 I borrowed to get gas. Then, later that same week when I went to pay it back, I was told to plant that seed to someone else. I did just that, I help another who needed $10 to buy their children something in a store. I felt thankful, because I passed it on to someone else."

Interviewed by Candice Creach 10/22/08

What book have you read that changed your life?
"Before I became a professional author, I hardly read many books. After my first book, I knew God has work in writings for me, and not to sound selfish, but I feel it's my own book Bo-God-elca! God's Bloody Bride. I have never such closeness to the Lord. This book of prophecy in a poetry play turned me completely around as how I view everything. I went into a new body of spiritual realm. I will never have the same life I had before. Though sometimes, I try to relate I find that I have truly gain the life of living in the spirit within a body of flesh. I have a new life and I know it's all due to Jesus taking control and my submission to letting him use me totally as his instrument. I praise him for choosing me to write of his Spirit of Prophecy"

Interviewed by Pam Perry 10/14/08

Interviewed by Dorothy Johnson 10/08/08

What is your vision for your life?
"I have a wide visional. I am what you may call a dreamer. I have a vast imagination to reach high goals, and I follow my dreams! I give all the credit to my Lord Jesus, who has and is making my dreams of imagination come true! So many things he don and will be doing for for me have come true already!"

Interviewed by Dr. Carolyn Clansy Miller 10/08/08

What are some positive and constructive ways you deal with disappointments?
"I learned earlier in my writing career about disappointments and this left me with a feelings of failure. I dealt with deep emotional guilt overtures what I did was not "good enough" I prayed over it, and I got my answer...Now disappointments has a new meaning for me. "I don't claim them, as disappointments, but as I achievements.... something that was great from me that someone else denied.""
