II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry." Psalm 40:1
People are so convinced they must do precisely as the rest of the Lucifer-led world. You spend today what you hope to earn next year ("I can't make ends meet: my debts drive me crazy"). You think evil (be it real or otherwise): you resort to "sorcery" and harbor demons, only to later experience the effects in body. Of course it is a must that you carry all forms of "insurance": running yourself ragged to meet the premiums. You "go down into Egypt" (which God forbade those liberated from it) and "trust to the arm of flesh" and our threefold "Babylonish" system. "Natch" – much "security in hand is worth many "gods" in Heaven"! All such are but "crutches" to lean upon – in order to live without God! That is why God has condemned Babylon. Does it not come natural to any normal father to want his young children to look to him, to trust in him and to come to him – even to him only? Under normal conditions, is he not well able to take care of them? And will he not do better by them than strangers? THUS it is also with God the "Father" in relationship to us – His spirit-children. HE covets our ear, our trust, and love – that He may have a chance to dote upon us. But when through brainwashings in Lucifer's universities, and our studied willfulness later, He observes our closed ears and face set towards "Egypt" with all her "sorceries," He averts His Own face and writes this memo: "that child wants to learn the hard way." – What needless grief and pain to bear....
