Ah, Gregor! How wonderful to see your words again. Actually, as the Lord well knows, I have been in total mental withdrawal from the world and its madness seeking to find a way to direct adequate prayers.
You know I have many, many well thought out reservations about where we are all going in a huge basket...therefore, I have more or less jumped out of it and watch it from a distance. My personal peace and joy increases each month, and I have never had a more secure or REDICULOUSLY easy life--I live less than a mile in a quite peaceful neighborhood from my job DOWNTOWN. You get the picture.
Also, my boss just made it possible for me to earn a rediculous amount of money doing what I do very easily. So, life is good, and I do not see God's wrath falling upon me for watching the basket from a distance. With that I have great peace at the moment.
Now, where do we go in prayer to take a mundane and pointless dribble through earth into something of the Noble Realms?
Your thoughts on the Islam situation mirrors mine completely. I wonder myself how the madness of thousands of true Christian workers stumbling over each other in the rush to go to the middle of living hell and assist Muslim Kosovians can possibly be understood. I only hope Asama Ben Ladin will take note of this, and want to know more and more about the Jesus Christ who causes people to do such peculiar things. Of the Father in Heaven, I am sure Asama knows quite a bit, and probably kills with the stoic religious withdrawal of David meeting Goliath, and then killing the 10,000 infidels--David, I think did with his friends--with the jawbones of donkeys. (We don't like those scriptures, I know, and like to forget them. The only thing is, that's where the Islamics left off--when killing for the One True God was actually done quite a bit.)
My problem is that I have as much of a connection to the Father in Heaven as I do Jesus the Son, and do not feel that the Father in HEaven disappeared into nothingness at the birth of Jesus. So, God gives me the ability to understand the Islamic mind, and to a definite degree love those who love the Father of Jesus Christ regardless of their shortcomings. Any human shortcoming is usually the lack of knowledge of and obedience to Jesus Christ, as we all know perfectly well.
With all this babble, which could go on several years I'm sure, will you specifically join me in praying for Asama Ben Ladin, who is the secret contact behind all of the "madmen" from other countries, who are probably in constant contact as to how to bring down the Great Satan, which unfortunately happens to include you and me and all of us here.
I have had a strange urging to simply speak to Ben Ladin from our hidden little unknown rooms here, lost in the layirinth of chat site on SI, which is lost in the greater WWW, and anyone who ends up here I believe is the direct result of divine leading.
Perhaps we should begin to speak to whoever we so desire to speak to, directly, and prayer for them directly, and ask what our God would have us pray for them.
Gregor, our Nero leads us closer and closer to that which we are all waiting for. And old testament and human history shows me that the people who support Nero usually wish that they hadn't let the monster live. So, now we have a situation. He has caused all of the converging freight trains to go faster toward where they smash together in the middle.
If nothing else, we are going to be finacially drained one way or another by our Nero to pay for the burned Rome. He will of course be obligated to rebuild it.
These are just human thoughts. I really want to pray about what you are saying and will hopefully have something more than just human thought dribble to answer.
I still ask everyone to pray for Asama ben Ladin. He is totally underground now, and that means probably more potentially devasting than ever. This man feels an eternal destiny, and relives the Crusades. The only problem is, he never read much of the real history of what it was all about, and somehow knowledge of Jesus Christ has totally and completely passed him by, except for the obvious Catholic monotheistic paganism passed on as a suggestion that Christians are people who give up the Father of Jesus Christ for a handful of men and women statutes.
What am I trying to say? The overwhelming suffering of such a huge group of human beings who were not able to leave with a toy, a purse, or a pet, is just about as much as I can think about at one time. These adult men and women must truly wish they were in fact dead about this time. The children will of course bear the brunt of all frustration eventually, and that will and can be quite horrible.
This devastation of every aspect of the human senses is something my mind is not able to contain. I know that we all need to stay in deep meditation and quiet prayer to listen to our Lord as to what in the world can now be done. It is obvious something has to be done, but what if it stays like the poor Rwandans and Sudaneans? Probably not, since these people are caucasians, it seems hard to comprehend how the world can stand to look at this for many more hours.
I'm sorry I have so little to say that means anything, but I hope that improves.
Have lifted every form of prayer my mind can deliver in this situation, and all I really know is that I do not seek to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for me, and maybe sooner than we think if our Nero continues to push us all toward Rev. 12-20. |
