As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
This is a problem for most of you. It was a problem for me, because I was arrogant in thinking God was on my side, when in fact, it is the Christian who is on God's side, in He comes first and when a Christian is working where God is moving then they are in God's Will, and things are accomplished because God is engaged.
For others, there is the reality of St. James who states that people pray and do not receive, because they are praying for things to consume those gifts upon their lusts. That is idolatry and God is not going to accept that any more than Cain's self centered offerings where he expected Go to thank him for being generous to offer a few bags of seeds to God in offerings.
Yet there is Isaiah the Prophet Inspired by the Holy Ghost providing an education directed at the Americans, English and Western Europeans whoa re the Lost 10, in Jacob is our name, in why our prayers are not answered.
America is a nation in rebellion. Butchering babies, sodomy, pedophiles, unjust courts and government, a police state, repression and evil in the highest and lowest places. That is what God is addressing as a majority of Americans have booted God for a religious order like Catholics or for a political idea in either worshiping money or making people into demagogues who worship themselves.
America is more vile than Sodom.
Yet Americans think that they are doing God a favor by acting like they are wonderful people in this filth. America is a people that now calls evil good and good they hunt down as criminal.
Isaiah the Prophet
Chapter 58
58 “Shout it aloud, do not hold back.
Raise your voice like a trumpet.
Declare to my people their rebellion
and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.
2 For day after day they seek me out;
they seem eager to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that does what is right
and has not forsaken the commands of its God.
They ask me for just decisions
and seem eager for God to come near them.
3 ‘Why have we fasted,’ they say,
‘and you have not seen it?
Why have we humbled ourselves,
and you have not noticed?’
“Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please
and exploit all your workers.
4 Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife,
and in striking each other with wicked fists.
You cannot fast as you do today
and expect your voice to be heard on high.
So for all your pretense of acting moral, you are immoral and amoral. You are filth and you demand that God validates you. God does not validate wickedness.
The message is certain what this people must do to have their prayers heard, an it is actions of ending the hunting down of people who they have criminalized for being Protestant Christian. The injustice of the courts and government must end, from top to bottom.
It is not just lawfulness which must be done by every person, especially those on the courts and in seats of power, but it is the end of repression in exploiting people by robbing them by inflation, rigged markets, and the actual act of providing from your own rich pockets for the oppressed. You rich people think that money is yours. No it is not. The only way people get rich is by exploiting others. Corporations get money by rapine. Instead of one bank being robbed it is a world of billions robbed of their few pennies which keep adding up as generation of this has turned America into debtor people and the rest of the world into Godless slaves.
This is all about control by the feudal few. Without people owning their own things and having their own money, deciding what to do, a slavery manifests where the few dictate what you think, do and say. The world is no longer a place of freedom of speech, freedom to work or freedom to travel. The rich have gleaned from the poor their ability to live on their own and now everyone in the 99% is without the ability to be free. The rich hang onto that money even tighter like terrified men grasping onto the rails of a sinking ship.
If you want God to hear your prayers, then start providing for the poor. All of you like Scrooge have a horrendous back debt to make up for. You need to start figuring out that you can't fill your gas tank on a 100 dollars so why do you think that is enough to give to the poor to live on for a month. A thousand dollars makes you preen inside in being generous. You try living your live on a 1000 dollars and see how far that gets you and how soon you become morose when you discover you are not as generous as you think you are in a modern era.
God made a promise in this. You start being a Christian in providing for others and He will start hearing your prayers.
You can not buy God, but you certainly do owe Him.
“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness[a] will go before you,
and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
9 Then you will call, and the Lord will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.
11 The Lord will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.
God provides for those who care, as Eljah the Prophet in a famine. You start giving like you should and God will open His giving, instead of shutting it down for all you have looted from the poor.
