Fading Away

In the emptiness of dreams where the life of “making it”…fades…comes the darkness of “What am I to do?”

To some…the work of a slave. To others…the work they hate. At the place where a slave meets the hatred is born anger…the anger that is released within your homes, your communities, your lives.

Within the anger are born the tears. And with tears you pray onto God hoping in faith He hears as He did to the children of Israel, before they were Israel.

I want you to hear me… Dry your tears and stop crying… The reason that God heard the Israelites is because the Israelites were the first people considered to be “slaves.” Before the Israelites there were no commandments, no Torah, nothing… Thus when they cried God heard them. We have Genesis and Exodus through Moses—who freed the people who had nothing to fall back on.

So, when you cry, God hears you not as He did the Israelites because you are the aftereffects of the Word that God gave Moses. This means, when you dream a dream of “making it” you dream a dream that is possible because you know of God through the Israelites. Thus meaning…from your dream to the evidence of your dream, if you do not “make it” it’s because of the lack of faith within God. Or better said, the lack of action and excuses on your part.

God will guide your footsteps, but will not walk them for you. Please note, if God is to do everything for you… If Jesus is to do everything for you… why in the hell would the Almighty give us dominion???? Stop your damn crying, stop feeling sorry for yourself… STOP and standup and take the first steps towards your dreams. Is faith without works DEAD?!!!

In addition, where is your trust that causes your faith to fade?

The more and more your trust is within the government the less and less your trust will be on the Almighty God. From the slavery to the wilderness… from the government to freedom of doing what God placed in your heart. God’s people have been so closedup, so tightly controlled by false prophets; I bet you do not realize in all of your lifestyles you are dependent on something or someone else, even if you believe in God.

You cry if the job goes away…you cry if the government money goes away… you cry if the grocery stores raise prices or empty out… you will cry if the gas goes higher and away. The reason you will cry is that you have no clue in what God taught Adam. You have no clue in God’s time with Adam… you too should have been taught. After all, God taught Adam.

Do you know about the tree that is for sight? Do you know the tree that is good for food? Do you know of the tree that is of life? Most of you do know about the tree of knowledge. So if everything you know of, if everything today goes away… how would you live?

Adam lived in the garden, the Israelites lived in the wilderness, how will you live when it all goes to hell? And it will. It is not a matter of “will it” it is a matter of “when.” Look globally and ask yourself, “are we exempt from all that is going on… lack of food, no clean water, government failing in policy?”

Matthew 24:3 ( KJV ) 3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Matthew 24:4-8 ( KJV ) 4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Are you prepared for the sorrow that is knocking on your door? When it falls, don’t go to God then, stay with whom you trusted — the government, your jobs.
