Careful What You Wish For
A Golden State vibrant-gilded-clouds-sponged-in-violet sunrise over the Coronado Bay bridge was the blessing you missed dragging your "legally blind" neglected body out of bed uttering peevish remarks against your disability check, waddling into your car to assist your elderly mother mid-day. Hard to imagine as a deacon of the Presbyters that tax free status isn't helping you enough to afford groceries.
Did you know that learning to cook, you can reward your family, using simple kitchen tools; pressure cooker, and crock pot: on less than one hundred dollars a week two protein-packed meals each day? Dried beans, rice, whole-fresh produce, liver, and brisket cuts are just that inexpensive.
Entitlement has paved your way. It means little cheese, no deli and prepared foods, and potable water to drink, perhaps tea. But surely the taxpayers do not expect you to go without those things. After all, you worked a decade of your life for your disability benefits since the nineties. (God asks,"Presbyterians, why do you license this kind of trash as ministers? If they are pedlars of your word, why are they on the take from government? Can your religion not support them?")
At a Grand Ole Opry gift shop the shopkeeper confessed to mac the downside of "Jesus" answering her prayer to move her from Texas to Tennessee. She had to give up her disability benefits. The true God hates fornication. Loving money means wielding-it, is your god. Idolatry is fornication. People who shirk work He wants gainfully employed. Shepherds He wants unburdened from Satan's work shirkers
Talking to the shopkeeper was a moment of maritime salvage for mac. (mac learnt from one of the sea of humanity's dead.) When we make prayers in harmony with the true God's will He provides the means to improve us, move us, and employ us, to better demonstrate our abilities and improve our health. Ah, the truth of, idle hands are the devil's playground.
Prophets beat to the true God's tune. If He sends mac to live alongside a fortress filled with fornication that He wants to clean for His service she can live for six months on thirty-six percent of her body mass and four hundred dollars in coffee house gift certificates and petty cash. He saves asses that do His will in His Sabbath.
Ezekiel wrote, the true God knew the thoughts of Israel. Of course He did. Every prayer to every profane deity people create -- even crying out "oh god" to a lover -- God experiences. God hears prayer. When we want to do His will, He answers even though He was personally violated by our paying to an idol or person. Why did Israel have such tough times? Because curse them, they knew who the true God was, but they capitulated to the nations God told them He wanted extinguished. They knew the true God was listening to them and who He was. They delivered acts of worship to garbage to fit in with the trash. Peer pressure. The test of your side.
You think prayers to "Jesus" are any different? Are these more righteous than prayers to the dollar bill? There is only one hearer of prayer. In-spite of you hurting His heart by not knowing who He is, He helps you when He can. Do not mock Him with a life of fornication. The veil of ignorance ends with mac's writings. When you decide you want to learn the truth of your knowledge base on God take His test. Decide between three activities to last for two weeks.
Choose to eliminate answering text messages. Switch off the text message notification on your phone. At a designated time of day when you can make a phone call undistracted, look at your message queue and decide who you are going to answer. Do it over the phone or with one succinct text with no other distractions.
Unplug cable television from your television set. You may plug in an antenna so you can stay tuned into news events. Do not stream cable shows with personal devices.
Choose an unfinished project at home or a skill you are putting off diving into. Include home repair or improvement, a craft, or new foods to learn to cook. How about learning a new language? Each day chip out an hour to finish or develop this project.
Make your commitment to activity one, two, or three for the week. Pray to your deity to make room for this adjustment in your life. Each day show your deity that you are working in harmony with his will by waiting on those messages, avoiding cable shows, or carving out an hour for a healthy spot of work and personal improvement. When you feel things getting in the way of this commitment, make another prayer for help to find the way to dedicate yourself to that day's effort. It will be blessed.
You have been blessed with success relying on your deity. Now, make the prayer for week two including the test phrase, "if the identity of the deity I have been praying to is the accurate knowledge of the God that delivered Israel from Egypt and/or the God that sent and resurrected my saviour, Jesus, to the heavens, I expect to enjoy the same success for two weeks."
You will either succeed or in short time find there is no way to keep up the test. Repeated prayers will not help you maintain your progress from week one.
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society wants to tract your shore. Just imagine the absolute pleasure to be the first victor with landmark-righteous justice wiping-out the coffers of that false prophet when the true God lets you know they finally have enough in the bank to make reparations to the former Soviet Socialist Republic nations for destabilising a world power with Satan's World War One.
You see, they betrayed mac's personal banking information to murder her. Meet eye for an eye. It is the true God who uses our actions to others to determine fair rewards for us from Him. The true God loves you Russia.
The office of president earned the loyalty of the true God for many generations. Del sandcastles bespeak the wisdom of Washington's mark on the constitution, "Freedom of speech can prevent us from being led dumb like sheep to the slaughter." On the sunny afternoon of mac's sabbath she thanked thee.
