Supernatural Healings, Prayer, Prophecy, Leading etc
The Apostles imparted God's gifts to each other, healed, cast out demons and broke
curses. This normally did not happen to people by themselves who could not find God's
supernatural power. It is therefore vitally important to find genuine Christians moving under the power of the Holy Spirit.
I know we have to seek God and not people and I know it is not always God's will to perform miracles. But we need fellowship with genuine Christians who move in God's spirit and do God's will. We should not focus on just miracles. It is important to discern where they come from and what the fruits of the people who perform them are. Even non-Christians or the Devil can perform miracles. So if miracles are reported the fruits and beliefs are to be the main focus. In
other words we need to look for people who are committed like the Apostles and obeying God. If you can provide contacts to people gifted in any of the following ways, it would be greatly appreciated. With your help we can form a network of those who are carrying out God's work. This could result in a great movement for God.

A11. I have never seen a supernatural healing. Many of my friends who I met at the local Pentecostal church are either disgruntled or disillusioned, and are doubtful that supernatural healings are relevant today. They have left those churches as a result. I care about them and I would like to see them encouraged and believing that there are genuine healing ministries today.
Do you know of a Godly person who would be able to join me at a hospital to pray for people so that there is a high chance that something supernatural will occur?
If something supernatural does occur, it may result in a great Godly movement in this area.

Part Ab
Many scriptures indicate only certain people will be chosen.
"Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen. Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus, for he shall save HIS PEOPLE from their sins.
Luke 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto HIS PEOPLE by the remission of their sins.
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and (that) your
fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Rom 9:10 And not only [this]; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac; 11 (For [the children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Mat 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." (This indicates that some people are born without ears and therefore cannot hear the word of God and therefore cannot be chosen)
"Matthew 13: 37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
John 17:9 ; I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
Matt 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles [peoples] heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ORDAINED to eternal life believed.
Matt 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father."
Perhaps this can explain why many people are truly seeking God but cannot find him to the point that they are satisfied they have his spirit.
Perhaps the below verse only applies to the chosen people because there are many people truly seeking God without being satisfied they have found him. Everyone I know including myself is not receiving or finding what they need.
"Luke
11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be
opened."
There are also many more points relative to this question at truechristianity.com/christian/saved.htm
It is recommended that you read this page before answering this question.
Some verses and the information at truechristianity.com/christian/saved.htm could indicate that there are certain people in the world that cannot be saved even if they seek God. These people may include everyone I know including myself. There may be only about 8 living people born again or being saved in the whole world like it was in the time of Noah. As explained on the site so many things just don't add up for the people who think they are saved. Some people believe that only the descendants of the Israelites can be saved. There are many problems with this theory and many verses indicate otherwise. Please see truechristianity.com/christian/britishisrael.htm for more information.
There are many instances in the Bible that indicate that certain people will be chosen. God has appeared to people who may not have been seeking him or who were disobeying him. An example is the Apostle Paul who was disobeying God but God strongly appeared to him and then he became saved. It is strange there are so many other people trying to obey God but God does not appear to them like this and then those people become discouraged and are lost.
Another example is the Demon possessed man who was in the graveyard. Jesus came to him and healed him and he probably became saved. He may not have been even seeking God. There are many people who are demon possessed today and they are seeking God but they are not healed or set free. As a result the demons cause them to disobey God and hence they are probably lost.
Also Jesus chose the disciples because he came to them and said come and follow me. Other people are truly seeking God and trying to obey him today but God does not appear to them like this.

A common teaching is that Jesus loves you. This would be true for his chosen people. However the below scriptures indicate that he does not love the unchosen people.
"Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Malachi 1:2 ; I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? [Was] not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, 3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. 4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever."
Perhaps we should not preach to everyone that Jesus loves you. We should probably say that Jesus loves his chosen people. Because we are not sure who will be saved and chosen it may be best not to say to anyone that Jesus loves you. We may not be certain that God loves us because according to truechristianity.com/christian/saved.htm even very committed people seeking God cannot be sure that they are saved. Also terrible things happen to them with no positive explanation and people seek God without finding him. This could indicate God does not love them and has not chosen them but instead allowed judgment to come upon them.
(Ab3) What do you think about the above information and should we say to everyone seeking God that Jesus loves you or should we say that Jesus may love you?

Part Ac
Are there certain people we should not pray for? God may consider certain people as given up or unable to be saved.
"Hebrews 6:4 For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open shame. 1John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin [which is] not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
John 17:9 ; I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine."
God may not want us to waste our time praying for anyone. He may want us to focus on certain people who are at least trying to seek God and do his will.

If the unsuccessful majority were only given
the opportunity to succeed, many more may turn to and praise God, giving
testimonies of how good God is. They may also lead more people to God. Surely this is a
positive outcome for those who love him and must be what God
wants as it would draw people closer in praise and worship and
thanksgiving.

Many people in the examples below would
want to seriously do God's will. 1/3 of the worlds population are
hungry and many of them may be truly born again Christians. All their time would be
spent trying to survive so they would have little money or time to
minister to or help others. Other Christians are in prison for doing
nothing wrong, therefore they would have a very limited way
of doing
God's will. They would have a very limited number of contacts. Others
are so sick or disabled they cannot even read God's word let alone be
able to minister or do anything to help anyone. Even well people in
countries of high standards of living have technical difficulties to
stop them doing God's will. For example a Christian works full time to
write a book to convert others. But he has difficulties which make him
take much longer than he intended to take to finish it, and he
therefore dies before he gets a chance to show anyone. His life was
full of frustration as he hoped to do wonderful things for God. Some
have no finances to purchase the tools they need to do God's will.
Others have no people to help them over the difficulties that stop
them from doing God's will. Others are deceived that something is
God's will (such as marriage or a career) but it may not be. The time it
will take to sort out their problems will then prevent them from doing
God's will. For others, the enormous amount of time to make the
correct decisions in a complex and deceptive world and the mistakes
made could prevent them from doing God's will. Also Christian
parents would hope to do many things for God, but they can't if all
their time is spent looking after their children, especially if the children
have disabilities.

In fact reports indicate that the accuracy is not better then chance
alone, and also the successes of healing are not better then chance
alone. Yet my experience indicates that many Pentecostals may be
truly seeking God and many of their beliefs are correct and based on
the Bible. Many God seeking Christians try hard to do God's will but
fail. The Christian life is like walking around blindfolded in a

Question 3 - As things are so bad humans easily get discouraged
and are weak. It is an uncontrollable psychological thing in human
nature for many to lose motivation and commitment when they think
that God does not love or hear them. The Devil seems to effect people
against their will. Christians seek God hard but their prayers appear
unanswered and they are still getting nowhere while trying hard to do
God's will. They also know other Christians are having the same
problem. People are leaving the church and are angry with God, as
they claim they have been lied to when the church said they would be
healed or led by God. I read a Christian could not find God after
several sincere attempts. As a result he burnt his Bibles.

Question 5 - Where a pension is referred to it means approximately only a little more than
the amount of money needed to survive. God may consider this
comparison too extravagant, especially in some countries, where the
majority of people would be hungry and earning much less than a
pension.
Everyone should work hard, and we do need people providing
essential goods and services. If things were fair
and there was no corruption, there would be plenty of money to go
around. The problem is that almost everyone is
trying to do something to make money, in a corrupt environment
where there is not enough money to go around. It could be
satisfactory for everyone to try to make money if the system was fairer and the hardest working and most
honest Christian people were succeeding financially. But often they
lose more money then they make. Christians financially fortunate
enough to be in professions earning in excess of a pension could
retain them if it is an essential or beneficial service in God's sight and
if they use all their excess for God's will. We do need people to
provide money for God's purposes. However, it is so difficult to earn
in excess of a pension. Almost no one is doing what the Bible
commands, which is putting either all their time, or all money that they
earn in excess of an approximate pension into informing people of the
truth or helping people. Therefore people who don't earn more than a
pension may be best not seeking to earn more than a pension. Instead
they may be better off doing volunteer ministry or helping others.
Many Christians try to get into a career or business hoping to
earn more money than a pension so they can give the excess to
missions. You would think in this case God would allow them. But
often they fail to earn more money than a pension so their endeavor
to do Gods will did not eventuate and their time is wasted.

this so?

They would have been better off doing volunteer work for
God's ministry. Something must therefore be wrong. It appears as if
they were deceived into trying to earn more money than a pension.
Deceit is not from God. They are still seeking to earn excess money in
an over competitive and corrupt environment where many others are
trying to do the same thing and fail. The disciples did not seek to earn
excess money at all even for a good purpose. Instead they mostly
gave their professions away. "Luke 16:13-14 No servant can serve
two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or
else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve
God and mammon. And the Pharoses also, who were covetous,
heard all these things: and they derided him. 15 And he said unto
them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God
knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men
is abomination in the sight of God." It is highly esteemed among men
to earn more money than a pension. The present situation is of high
unemployment and business failure rates, where too many people are
trying to make money that is not available under the present corrupt
system. If one succeeds in a career or enterprise to make money, they
are therefore preventing someone else succeeding under such a
competitive environment of limited opportunities. This is causing the
unfortunate people years of unsuccessful hard work looking for and
trying opportunities that they hope to make an income from. But often
they lose more money than they make. The Bible commands us to
give everything and show love with deeds. At
http://www.mt.net/~watcher/bluey.html someone who was involved
in the occult quoted "Satan's entire kingdom runs on the principle of
competition; just the opposite of God's kingdom where everyone
serves each other." Trying to earn money involves competition.
The disappointment and low self esteem incurred by people being
prevented from earning more than a pension is causing suicides,
drugs, family breakdown, crime, injuries, anger with God and people
not being thankful to God. Under this corrupt system a profession to
earn more money than a pension is often full time and very
demanding. Therefore it can take over peoples lives, not giving them
enough time for God. The pressure some jobs and study cause, can also
lead to the above problems. To have any chance to gain a career
under the corrupt system people are forced to study unnecessary
information for years. It is a system of unnecessary high pressure and
competition, which stops people focusing on the important things.
Also the education system and many places in the workforce are
infiltrated with evil philosophies and evil organizations which
subtlety deceive once Godly people. organizations including the
Trade Unions teach people to be greedy and proud and not care
about their country's economy or other people. Others deceptions
convince people the world's philosophies and entertainments are ok.
This is because the education system and workforce teach them.
What almost everyone thinks is good in the education system and
workforce, can hence be dangerous. They often involve becoming
part of and submitting yourself to the control of a Satanic system.
The Bible verses indicate not to do this. The deceptions convince
almost all people including a persons best friends. Bad company lure
people into evil activities. If people take part in the world system it
generally corrupts and destroys them. People who succeed in
earning more money than a pension are often proud that they are
among the minority to achieve this. They often look down upon those
who earn no more than a pension, even though many who are poor
are the hardest working people. Few people are likely to use what
they earn in excess of a pension for God's will. Instead they normally
use it for their own benefit, and once they are fortunate enough to get
some money they often are greedy for more.
If people try to earn an income greater than a pension, they
require more goods and services than someone who is satisfied with
enough income to survive. These goods and services include energy,
fuel, water, rent, interest rates, registrations, licenses and essential
products. The problem is that these goods and services are mostly
purchased from those with wealth and power. If people try to earn
more money than a pension, it transfers wealth and power to those
who are evil planning a one world dictatorship. At the same time it is
causing honest hard working people to go broke, when they lose
more money than they make. Therefore banks and multinationals can
take their properties and gain more power. Trying to earn more money
than a pension is therefore destroying good and helping evil
prosper.
Under the current system in countries of high standards of living
approximately 95% of businesses are making a loss, real
unemployment is approximately 20% and poverty has risen to
approximately 30%. The figures are much worse in poor countries.
Qualified people who did well at university battle hard for years to
find work. They lose time and money due to the effort they put in and
unfortunate circumstances. Small businessmen work hard ( often 100
hrs a week) and innovatively for years only to lose money. For many
hard working honest people, the harder they work trying to make
money, the more money they lose, the more trouble they get into and
the more trouble they cause others. This is because they would need
help from their friends while trying to make money. If they borrowed
from friends or needed other assistance they probably promised to
repay them or return them a favor when they started making money,
but to their horror either bankruptcy, unemployment and no time
prevented them from doing so. All their time was taken up trying to
get out of their problems which were caused by trying to make money
so that they could use it for God's will. Even if they are converted and
only seek to do volunteer work in future, their problems still often
linger on to haunt them for years. They are trapped. These problems
prevent them from doing God's will and helping others like they had
planned.

due to health reasons. They feel they would help others if they
committed suicide. They also see that if most people or everyone committed suicide than it would prevent more people being born to suffer in the world and than going to Hell. Also it would reduce the population pressure and hence poverty. They also see that there is no point going on, when they see almost everyone including themselves getting nowhere and being denied an opportunity to do God's will, despite suffering and trying hard.
(b) How can we encourage people to go on, not
commit suicide, and have Children given the above risks?

In many situations positive thinking is good. In fact, often it is wrong not to think positive in many cases. On other occasions you have to believe a lie to think or speak positive things. For example many people think that most people succeed and are well off and that they will probably also succeed and be well off. Some things, like believing in miracles, causes discouragement and anger with God when they don't happen. Yet God says we should believe in these things.
(c) What specific things should we think positive about and when is it of the Devil?

Under the current system trying to earn more money than a
pension is like gambling in a casino. If you are fortunate you earn
more money than a pension, otherwise you are worse off. Gambling is
considered evil.
Most Christians??? would say no to these questions but you
must remember that most people at the end of a civilization are wrong.
Lot and his family were the only one's saved from his civilization. Noah and his
family were the only ones saved at the end of his civilization. "Matthew
24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be. Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and
false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch
that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
Mostly people who succeed financially are corrupt as they have
to be part of and on the same wavelength as a corrupt world which
will lead them to sins such as pride and greed. Most people who
succeed financially are either ripping people off or dealing with
corrupt popular products such as drugs, fashions and ungodly
entertainment which probably are abominations in God's site. "1 John
2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If
any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." People
who desire to get excess money or receive excessive money fall into
many pitfalls. As most people in the world earn below the equivalent
of a pension and one third of the world are hungry (not due to their
own fault), people who earn more than a pension may be considered
rich in God's sight as they would be in about the top 5% of income earners in the world. They would also be in the highest few percent regarding standards of living. "1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into
temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts,
which drown men in destruction and perdition."
(d) For people earning no more than a pension,
could seeking a
career or business to earn money in excess of a pension in our
situation, where most are missing out, be wrong or of the Devil, even
if it is planned for God's will?

The following question addresses things that are probably wrong in God's sight, yet almost nobody is aware that they are wrong. The below information is therefore not pointed to you or at anyone in particular. If the things most people take for granted as being good are wrong almost everyone including myself have been at fault. The reason they are probably wrong, is that many people including myself, have been hindered by them. I believe it is doing God's will to love and warn people of danger, as I don't want to see more people get into trouble.
Question 6 - God's purpose is full commitment, either directly or
indirectly, to serving him and his ministry. Many people including
Christians??? do not have this commitment. Christians??? are doing
or buying things that rich people accept as normal such as having
holidays that cost significant money, involve unnecessary luxuries and are not for God's purpose; playing serious competitive sport; being involved in competition instead of a rightfully regulated fair goes for everyone; trying to win things; being
involved in unnecessary education; tidying or cleaning their property
more than needed for show; gardening unless it is for practical
purposes such as shade, privacy, food or a means to lead people to God; fancy or unnecessary
cooking not needed to be healthy; earning and keeping an income
greater than a pension; buying products, property or services not
needed for survival or God's will; buying possessions more
expensive than needed; investing in places that don't do God's will,
(especially large companies who make big profits to pay their
greedy executives); being involved in any of the arts that don't glorify
God; toys that are more expensive than which can be afforded by
most in the third world; buying gifts that people don't need; having
parties that cost money and don't glorify God; jewelry apart from a low cost wedding or engagement ring which is probably good so people will know who is married;
cosmetics; fashions; ornaments; decorations; Christmas trees; pets
with no practical benefit; Easter eggs; unhealthy food; gambling;
drugs; souvenirs; entertainment's or enjoyments not for God's will; reading fictitious books,
magazines and novels, (which do not educate, towards Godliness) and
watching fictitious programs such as movies that do not inform people for God's purpose.
Most people in the world would be so unfortunate that they would
not be able to afford or do many of these things. These things are
highly esteemed by men. "Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are
they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your
hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination
in the sight of God." Almost everyone at the end of an age is deceived
as in Noah's time and Lot's time when only one family was saved. If people
are doing and asking for the correct things, God promises that they
will receive a blessing. Presently many are asking but not receiving a
blessing. "James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss,
that ye may consume it upon your lusts. "

Question 7 - We should be taking Jesus and his Apostles as an
example and teaching people what is commanded in the Bible. They
wanted to see people doing what God intends so they can enter the
kingdom of heaven. Sorry if this sounds too hard but I am aware that
Jesus and the Apostles said things like below. This is not directed to
you personally. It is just an example of what could be said to groups
of rebellious people.
Jesus and his Apostles were extremely bold and gave either their
jobs or money away to do God's ministry, unlike most people today
who who do not follow their example. What would Jesus and the
Apostles say to people today? The information is also based on the
information in question 5 and that I heard if you earn as much as a
pension in a country with high living standards you are in the top 10% of income earners in the
world.
Where the word fortunate is used, it indicates a financial advantage in this world. This advantage does not indicate a person is hard working or honest. God therefore expects people to use this advantage for God's will.
Remember the Apostles accused people of murdering Jesus when
they did not directly do it. Some of them among the group accused,
may not even have supported it. People were called thieves when
they were not stealing in man's view. Some of the verses below refer
to people as, hypocrites, vipers, liars, murderers and betrayers.
Instead of saying some people are murderers they said you are
murderers. They stated ye which means you who would be the people
they were talking to. This was probably to stir them up more so they
would do something about their life, repent and believe. Weaker talk
has less of an impact. Some of the people referred to in the below
verses were actually believers in the church who had the wrong idea.
Some of the bolder remarks also included in the verses at http://www.truechristianity.com/christian/bold.htm are:
"Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the
Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.; Which of the prophets have not your
fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the
coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and
murderers; Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift
of God may be purchased with money; Repent therefore of this thy wickedness,
But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 25 Woe
unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye
shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of
you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.Thou fool, this night thy soul
shall be required of thee; sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor; He
that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; be content with your
wages; O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things?;
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of
hell?; Thou hypocrite, ye have made it a den of thieves; Ye are of your father
the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.; Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
whom ye crucified."
The below verses indicate that the church is too lukewarm and not bold or hot enough. "Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:"
Would the Apostles say the below to the people of today? How
would we do it? As an act of love, should we say something like
below to people obviously in error to stir them so that they will repent
and become strong believers?
I would like to see everyone including you more well off
in this life. It would
be good if everyone could easily find paid work and only work a small
number of hours to receive plenty of spare money and time for God's
will. The problem is this is not the case. Most people are much worse
off than you. The term "excess money" below means the money you
receive in earnings or profit minus what you would receive if you only
received a pension or unemployment assistance. For example, if you
earn $25,000 per year and the pension rate is $10,000/year, your excess money would be
$15,000/year. This is only an estimation as God may consider that you
actually have more excess money than this, as only a small
percentage of people in the world receive excess money. Savings would also be considered excess money.
Congratulations if you earn more than a pension and use all your excess money for God's will.
You are considered innocent if you are using your income in
excess of a pension, to pay off a debt that resulted from trying to do
God's will. God's will can include many things such as helping others,
lobbying people to support the sincere hard working needy,
or helping missions and ministries. It could include purchasing tools
for God's will. If you think, why should I give or use all the money to
God's purpose that I worked so hard for, just remember the poor
honest Christian people who worked harder than you, who suffer
health problems due to their trauma of not earning anything, and
being denied a right to do God's will as a result.
If you earn more than
a pension and unless you give or use all money you earn in excess of
a pension for God's will, you are guilty of taking other peoples jobs
and income away, bankrupting or destroying small businesses that
are normally earning much less than yourself and stopping people
doing God's will by denying them the funds. Therefore you are
stopping people from hearing the gospel and getting saved. Also you
will be partly responsible for other peoples poverty, trauma, illness
along with suicides, mental problems and crimes by unfortunate
people. Perhaps you could be considered as bad as a criminal in
God's sight and it is money that is either directly taken from poor
people by you or money they deserve but you are wrongfully
accepting. This is like thieving and murder if it leads to someone
else's death.
For example, if you work for a small business manager you may earn
$25,000 a year and only work 40 hrs a week while the poor honest small
business manager is among the vast majority of people who are
victims of greed and corruption. He is losing money and has a net
earning of less than a pensioner despite innovatively working or
slaving hard for over 60 hrs a week. But you are taking from him
much more that you really need to survive while you watch the
manager destructing into poverty and maybe suicide. This you would be partially responsible for if you don't use your excess money for God's will.
If you don't, you are probably seen as an unloving, greedy viper and
hypocrite that destroys honest peoples lives in God's sight. This is
the nature of evil.
Unless public servants use their excess money for God's will instead of themselves, public servants could be
another example of unloving criminals who take more than what they
need from the government. Some highly qualified people have unsuccessfully tried
hard to get jobs for 10 or 20 years. They even said they were on the
verge of suicide on national television. If you are taking the positions
they want and not using your excess money for God's will, you could be guilty in God's sight for causing their deaths.
If you want wage rises that increase costs, cause others
unemployment, and destroy small businesses you could be even a
worse criminal. Every hard worker is entitled to a wage. So why are
you not using your excess money, or time to fight for the rights of
those slaving in poverty, (for no more than pensioners wage) all
around you, instead of greedily trying to grab more for yourself. If
you destroy small businesses, there will be mass unemployment and
slave labour, under multinational control. Surely you must be
intelligent enough not to want this.
If you support strike action that hurts poorer people than yourself
you could be considered the worst, most evil criminal of all.
Even worse you probably encourage or deceive others by telling
them that they must try to earn more money than a pension. You are
also encouraging them to take jobs away from others and wrongfully
use their money on enjoyments, entertainments, fashions,
unnecessary possessions, and investments in ungodly places that
don't need it. You are lying to your family and friends, and
encouraging them to do things which both destroy their lives and
give them no time for God (question 5). You should be telling others
to volunteer to do God's will instead. You are probably also
encouraging others to be proud of their paid jobs, and you are
probably also proud of having a job which is evil. Your motive should
be to work to help others and not for money for yourself.
Very few small businessmen are fortunate enough to have a net
earning of more than a pension. If you do, but don't use your profits
for God's will, you are guilty of unfairly competing against and
destroying other small businesses.
That means you need to use all your excess money for God's will. The only
other option is you give your paid occupation to someone who will
use the income wisely for God's will and you do volunteer work
earning at the pension rate. This could include helping the needy or
doing God's ministry. If you do you will still have more money than
most others who often work harder and are more clever than yourself.
If you don't, how can you watch other hard working, honest,
Christian people dying and suffering in poverty all around you, and
not help them. God commands that you repent and follow him which
means asking for forgiveness and doing his will, otherwise you are
the children of the Devil and you are going to Hell.
If you are saving money or investing money for yourself and
not using it, or planning to use it for God's will, you could be guilty
of denying others the funds to do God's ministry. Also you are
partly responsible for causing others to suffer in poverty. If you
don't use your savings for God's will, you will soon lose your
money anyway, when the economy collapses or you die.
If you are unemployed or on a pension you should do volunteer
work to help the needy or freely do God's ministry which would
involve many different occupations. You could start working hard
today. Don't waste your time and money trying to earn an income in
excess of a pension which will only take someone else's career off
them or prevent someone else getting a career where there are not
enough career opportunities to go around. There are plenty of opportunities
for ministry or helping people. Under the current corrupted system,
trying to earn more money than a pension, is almost as bad as trying
to gain money by gambling on a poker machine or casino. Often it
also involves working or studying in a system infiltrated with evil
philosophies and evil organizations such as the Illuminati and
Trade Unions. People with little chance of finding paid employment
would be better off being satisfied with what money they are
receiving. The Apostles did not seek to earn more money than a
pension. Mostly they did only unpaid work for God's ministry.
Stop wasting your time and money on unnecessary things which
could be considered idols or evil in God's sight, such as the things
mentioned in question 6. Instead use your time and money for God's
ministry and helping those in need.
If you make satisfactory income it does not mean to say you are
more clever or hard working than people who don't. It is just that you
were fortunate to be in the right place to meet the right people at the
right time. If you were unfortunate like being born in a poor country
you probably would be in poverty and maybe crying out for other people to help you.
By saying you are better than others by being successful is
wrongfully putting yourself above others who are more hard working
and more innovative than yourself. For example you may have
randomly contacted only 20 people in a days work and very
fortunately found the one person in your country of 19 million who
can team with you and make you succeed. But someone else
marketing in the best possible way spent years and enormous
expense advertising and made one million people aware of what he
needs but could not find the one person who could help him. How can a financially fortunate
person like you say you are better than other people.
Under the current corrupt system you have to be fortunate to
succeed financially. If you do, but don't use your money wisely, you
deny someone who works harder than you the opportunity to
succeed financially. If you don't use your time or money for God's will
and to lobby for a better future, you will have no future. Do you care
about your future and your families and friends future? If you do
spreading the gospel would be top priority. God will
forgive you if you accept Jesus and repent. (end of speech or letter)
The disciples offended many, were put in prison and were killed
for their bold testimony, but they also won many to God. The people
they influenced were more committed than most today, because the bold
testimony of the Apostles example motivated them to put their life
right.
