NOTHING MAKES US so vulnerable to psychic and satanic attacks as concern for our sustenance. Your sustenance and all ye have been promised is in Heaven; by the Lord of Heaven and earth, this is as true as it is true that ye have speech. "My part is to worship Him, as He commanded me, and His part is to feed me as He promised me." (Saint Abu Yazid al-Bistami) I am afraid you may lapse into the misfortune that afflicts most men. For I see them busy with many activities, religious as well as worldly, and fearing nothing so much as poverty. If they knew that riches are to be had from being occupied with God, they would forsake their worldly activities entirely and busy themselves with Him alone, that is, with His commandments. But in their ignorance they keep on increasing their worldly and religious activities while remaining uneasy from fear of poverty or from fear of creatures, which is serious forgetfulness and a deplorable state; and this is the state in which the majority of people - almost all - exist. Therefore be on guard, my brother and sister, and devote yourself entirely to God; then you will see marvels!
AND HE ANSWERED and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them. Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (St. Mark 10 - 20-25)GO TO NOW, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fir
e. Ye have heaped treasures for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. (James 5 - 1-4)THE RICH ARE the scourge of the American dream. The top 1% of Americans have more money than 94% of all of American citizens combined! The distribution of wealth in this country is a national disgrace. It is no wonder that our nation has the largest prison population on the planet. One out of every one hundred and thirty four Americans are either in jail, in prison, on parole, or probation. In these, the last days of this empire, we are witnessing the rich plumbing the depths of disgrace to ensure the perpetuation of their status. These fiends are so intent upon retaining their lifestyles that they are destroying the planet itself and everything on it to keep a hold on their riches. In my darkest nightmares I see the international space effort as a last ditch refuge for them. After they have succeeded in depleting the resources of the earth and driven the rest of us to the edge of oblivion they will simply abandon us. They may escape the soon coming desolation (which will be the residue of their greed) but they will not escape the judgement of God. We, the poor, need to realize we have a way out of no way out! In the midst of this shameless rape, we are being presented with an opportunity to draw near to God who will draw near to us and deliver us from this present day evil. I therefore urge you: BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING. Find God and you will find everlasting peace that no one can take away.
