CREATURE VERSUS CREATOR
Chapter Six
FAMINE
VERSUS FARMING
Our
Creator God ordained that 3 things be necessary to sustain the physical life of
our human bodies; air to breathe, water to drink, and food to eat (and drink).
(Keep in mind that God did much of His creating in sets of “Three.”) And the
human body lives the longest and in the healthiest condition if that air is
clean and fresh, if the water is pure and clean, and if the food is wholesome,
clean, fresh, healthy, and nourishing. God created the air, water, and food in
those “good” conditions, “for our sakes.” So sad to see how terribly the
devil’s kingdom has polluted God’s air, water, and food supply, thereby putting
our health in great danger. The air, water, and food would maintain their
best quality possible by everyone tilling the ground for his or her living,
instead of building the devil’s kingdom on the ground.
God
ordained that the air we breathe be totally free to us without cost or
price. God created us to live outdoors, breathing the clean, fresh air
He so graciously provided for us out there in the nature He created. Presently,
in the devil’s kingdom, many people spend much of their lives working, living,
and sleeping in small man-made cubicles (many made of concrete and/or other
unhealthy man-made materials), constantly breathing stale air brought in
through a man-made ventilation system that cost plenty of time and money to
build. Often the lighting is artificial, made by man and detrimental to one’s
eyesight. For most of my life, I never once thought I would pay money to buy
air to breathe, in a similar way that I pay money for food I eat. But I hear
accurate reports of the oxygen content of the earth’s air steadily decreasing
due to air pollution, a reduction in the size of the land areas covered by
forest and vegetation, an increase in the size of land areas covered with
“hardtop,” and such (all these oxygen depleters stemming from the devil’s
kingdom). I also read of the health benefits of breathing pure oxygen a few
minutes each day. And more and more, I am becoming inclined to start buying air
(oxygen) to breathe.
God
ordained that the water we drink be more or less free of charge. Whereas
the air is always available to be sucked into our lungs, we have to fetch the
water to drink. Typically we have to dig wells to have a water supply, or go to
a spring or stream to fetch the water. And in dry areas of the world, obtaining
drinking water can involve much labor; digging deep wells, having to fetch the
water from a far distance, etc. Presently in our modern world, a lot of people
pay a monthly fee to have water piped into their house. When I was growing up,
I never thought I would buy drinking water like I buy food. But I have been
doing that for many years now. In my house, I distill the tap water and drink
distilled water (paying for electricity to distill it). And when I am away from
home, I often buy “clean” drinking water in a store. At times, I pay more (per
gallon) for that drinking water than I do for the gas I put into my car. Until
I was about 30 years old, I could have never imagined that the day would
come when, at times, my drinking water would be more expensive than gasoline
for the car.
God
ordained that air we breathe be totally free to us. He ordained that the
water we drink be essentially free. But He ordained that we labor
to obtain our needed food; long hours per day, for many days a year, on God’s
prison farm. It just naturally follows that this God ordained method of us
obtaining our food is the safest and most secure way for us to be fed. And
you well know how important you consider eating to be to you. Therefore you
should hold in the highest regard, the method your Creator ordained for you to
feed yourself and your family, and consider it an important thing for people to
do, you not being excluded.
A
main reason we leave God’s farm for the devil’s “world” is because we
love the world. Included in that is our love for the security the
world system provides. We quickly come to love the world’s security over the
security of God’s ordained farm, and that alone is sin. It is a
dangerous thing for us to opt for the world’s security in any area of our
lives, but especially dangerous regarding the food provision that is a
must to keep us alive.
“Heavenly Father, please help me to think on the important fact of
food being necessary to sustain my physical life while I live on this earth.
Please make me fully aware that the safest and most secure method of having
food for me and my family to eat, is Thy ordained method of tilling the ground.
Help me to highly regard that method as being something important for me to
personally do. I pray that all other people will also think on the importance
of this. Amen.”
“There shall be famines”
When
we choose the sin of loving the world (the devil’s kingdom), it quickly becomes
easy for us to love having the devil’s kingdom feed us. The convenience
of it makes it so appealing to us; just open our money bag and hand over some
of our mammon for whatever food we want to purchase, among the much food
for sale out in the devil’s kingdom. And the modern day devil’s kingdoms, that
advanced nations have built, have such “high class” efficient buying, selling,
and trading techniques that a mind boggling variety of foods from all over the
world are available to you at your nearest supermarket. How glorious is the
devil’s kingdom in this aspect alone! All you have to do to eat of that great
variety of foods is to simply hand over some of your money, and any of those
foods you desire instantly become your possession. Presently, the peoples of
many “advanced” nations can praise the devil’s kingdom for feeding them so
well. But that will not continue indefinitely. Now the food supply in the
devil’s kingdoms is fattening the masses (many to gross obesity), but it is
fattening them for a slaughter. And that slaughter is to come in the form of
famine.
In
Matthew Chapter 24, Jesus tells of many things that will happen in the “end
time.” “There shall be famines.” (Verse 7) The
world has seen much famine since Jesus spoke those words almost 2,000 years
ago. But I believe the most severe famines are yet to come. Revelation Chapter
18 tells of several catastrophic things that will take place in the end time,
and one of them is a complete economic collapse of the devil’s kingdom when
the mammon-based system of buying and selling will completely break down.
Likely that will bring famine to many who depend on the devil’s kingdom to feed
them.
I
can easily believe the Truth of Jesus’ Words, “There
shall be famines,” simply because He never lies. But He also confirms
that Truth with His Wisdom that He has given me. I can look around at what is
happening and see the signs of that famine coming on. I see 3 major things
occurring that are going to bring on famine. (1) The percentage of the world’s population
that produces food is steadily decreasing. So the day will come when there will
not be enough tillers of the ground to feed the world’s masses who do not till
the ground. (2) The devil’s kingdom steadily seizes more and more farm land and
puts it to use in the devil’s kingdom, using it for anything and everything
except for growing food to eat. Much of that farmland is put to death under
concrete and asphalt, to never again have the ability to produce food. (3)
A growing number of people come to disdain and hold in contempt our Creator
ordained first estate, and would never consider lowering their proud, highly
risen selves to such a humble position as that of tilling the ground. This #3
brings on #1 and #2, so it doesn’t really have to be considered separately
except for one important fact. It is prideful, sinful rebellion against our
Creator that He will definitely judge, and I believe He is soon to judge it by
letting masses of those rebels starve to death in end-time famines.
You
are likely to answer my #1 above with, “Oh, Brother Richard, someone will
always grow food, because it will always be in demand and therefore will always
be a money making job.” There is much truth in such a statement. But the trend
is that, more and more, big businesses are supplying your food. Back in the
1980’s, I read an “expert’s” prediction about the changing trends in food
production. He predicted that the time would soon come when most farming is
done by large corporations who pay the farm workers union wages and maintain
insurance against crop failures, natural disasters, etc. And if that comes to
be, he predicted that fact alone would increase food costs 3 or 4 fold. The
bottom line is that no matter what kind of plans the devil’s kingdom devises to
feed you, they are going to end in disaster and famine.
Now
listen to some important details about #2 above. God has chosen the exact time
when He will put an end to this present world, and He has planned exactly how
greatly He will allow the population of the human race to increase until the
end of time. Folks, it just may be that our Creator wisely planned for there to
be enough natural resources (especially air, water, and food) for the large
population all the way to the end of time, IF the human race had stayed in
its first estate, instead of building the destructive devil’s kingdom on this
earth. But because most people on the earth have opted to build the devil’s
kingdom, that one factor might deplete the earth’s resources and thereby bring
on the end time famines the Bible prophecies.
I
know there have been cobblestone streets on this earth for many ages. But
around the start of the 20th century, it became necessary for us
rebels to hardtop God’s earth with concrete and asphalt in order to build the
splendid devil’s kingdom that enables us risen gods to race to and fro all over
God’s earth (and in the air) at great speeds. You can read the statistics of
how many additional acres of earth in your nation get put to death by being
hard topped each year. And you can hear other alarmists than me, sounding the
warning that we are destroying our livelihood by doing so. But so many people
love the devil’s kingdom so much, that there will be no turning back. We will
hardtop ourselves to death in famine, ‘cause you can’t grow your food on
concrete and asphalt. Each year the earth’s population increases and each year
there are fewer acres available for farming. That is a road straight to famine.
Such insanity is soon to catch up with us and destroy us by starving us to death.
“There shall be famines.”
So
many Christians who zealously love the world believe that God will put an end
to time before “things get very bad.” Ha, Ha! So many of us thought God would
do that by 2,001 at the latest. He is tarrying longer than we thought He would.
And likely He is soon to laugh at our calamity of famine.
“Heavenly Father, please confirm to me what Truth of Thine is in
these paragraphs after the previous prayer. And please show me what attitude I
should have toward it and any action I should take concerning it. I pray this
prayer for all other people also. Amen.”
“Love not the world”
Upon
getting out the first edition of this book about 1984, I was soon after fairly
shocked at the large number of Christians who were greatly angered by me
exalting so highly our Creator ordained first estate. I was on furlough in the
U.S. from December 1984 to May 1986. And during that time several of the
“opposers” gave me an earful of their opinions. I will award first “prize” for
the “best” essay to the pastor of an independent Baptist church. He and I had
never known of each other till he somehow got my book, read it, and got mad
about a lot things I had written. So he invited me to come preach at his church
on a Wednesday night, apparently for the sole reason of him getting a chance to
rebuke me in person about my religious beliefs.
“When
it rains, it pours!” And when one thing goes wrong, it seems that many things
go wrong at once. And that sure is what happened to me that historic Wednesday.
I was at my Dad’s house and it was over a 9-hour drive to this church. So I
planned to hit the road early Wednesday morning. But Tuesday night, I recalled
that I didn’t get my 3 suits out of the dry cleaners that day. They were all
the suits I owned and I had to take them with me this day, as I would be
traveling to several churches to preach for the next 3 weeks. But this dry
cleaners was closed every Wednesday. So, at the breakfast table early Wednesday
morning when I asked Daddy who owned the dry cleaners, I got the bad news that
the owner didn’t live there in Vernon, but in a nearby town. I called him,
explained my “emergency” to him, and he gave me the name of a man in Vernon who
had a key and could open up and let me get my dry cleaning. This man usually
sat around in public playing checkers or dominos with other men. But when I
hurried to town and looked around all the places those loafers usually loafed;
he wasn’t at any of them. I asked all the loafers where he was, but none of
them knew. I went back home, packed everything else I needed for my 3 weeks on
the road, went back to town again, and vainly looked all over for him, asking
everyone if they knew where he was. I had just about given up on finding him
when I finally did find him. He opened the cleaners and let me get my preaching
suits, but because of that delay I left town about an hour later than I had
planned.
But
I always allowed extra traveling time to be on the safe side. And for this long
9-hour trip, I had added more than a one-hour “cushion.” So I wasn’t yet
concerned that about all of that “cushion” got used up before I started. That
is until just a short time later as I drove eastward through Alabama, I
remembered that I was to cross into another time zone when I reached Georgia
and thus lose another hour. That really put me in a bind, time wise. I didn’t
stop to get any lunch, but only when I needed gas for the car. And I drove in a
very “positive” manner for about 9 hours. The last time I stopped for gas in
the late afternoon, I called the pastor’s house and his wife gave me directions
to the church. I also hurried into the men’s room and changed into my preaching
suit. Reaching the town where the church was, I followed those written directions
from the pastor’s wife. I had never before been in this town, so I was careful
not to make any wrong turns that would cost more time. Church started at 7 PM
and I arrived in the parking lot about 7 minutes before 7 PM. With my Bible in
one hand, I put on my suit coat as I hurried inside and the song leader was
announcing the first song as I walked into the church, just in time, not 10
seconds to spare after driving hard for 9 hours with no breaks.
I
walked to the very front of the church auditorium and choose the 1st
or 2nd pew. The pastor was in his place on the platform and I gave
him a nod that said, “I’m the missionary you are expecting.” (He and I had
never met before and I had no idea that he had invited me here solely to “chew
me out” for what I had written in my book.) I sang the songs with them, plenty
bushed after pounding the pony so hard all day, but immensely relieved that I
had gotten to church on time, as that question had hung in doubt as I drove all
day. When it came time for the preaching, the pastor rather curtly introduced
me and sat down on a pew near the front. And in my weariness, as I preached my
heart out about taking the Gospel to heathen lands, he sat there with a bored,
disinterested look on his face which caused me to began to suspect that
something was slightly amiss. Anyway, his congregation got a good sermon that
night and I hope and pray some were blessed by it.
When
the church service ended, my adrenalin completely drained away upon finishing
all my day’s work of long, hard driving and then preaching at night. I now felt
totally bushed, and hoped that the pastor had no plans for me to lodge with him
or another church member. I was plenty hungry and tired, so I just wanted to go
eat a relaxed meal alone at a restaurant and then immediately collapse in a
motel room alone so I could completely relax and get some restful sleep. But
the pastor had other plans for “entertaining” me with a long, late night show
of his. He was not friendly or cordial to me at all. After I shook hands with
the people at the back door as they left, he introduced me to another man and
told me to follow that man to his house and that he (the pastor) would come
there after taking his family home. “Oh no, I don’t like the sound of this.” In
my car, I followed this man and his wife to their house, as a lamb going to the
slaughter. Arriving there, the wife soon set a plain cheese sandwich and a
drink (milk or juice) before me. That sure wasn’t much after not having eaten
all day. Why is it that, when I am not hungry, my host/hostess will set a feast
before me? But when I am famished, they set the smallest portion before me? No
one asked me if I was hungry or if I had supper, or lunch. So I just kept quiet
and ate my plain sandwich with thanksgiving for it. And before I finished
eating that, the pastor showed up about 9 PM to provide a long, one man show of
late night entertainment for me.
I
was eating at a dining room bar in their house and as best I recall, I was
sitting on something like a stool. It may have had a short back, or may have
been completely backless. It was a plenty uncomfortable seat after my long,
weary day. And I sat there like that till almost 1 AM, a captive audience to
that fine fundamentalist pastor while, for almost 4 hours in the dead of the
night, he debased our Creator ordained first estate and highly exalted eating
of the knowledge of good and evil and rising by the human creature. I do not
cram my religion down people’s throats like that! I write it in these books
and everyone is free not to read a word of it. I never pressure any pastors to
let me preach in their churches. And when they do invite me to preach, I finish
my sermon in 30 to 40 minutes. And after that sermon, when I am in their home
or yours, I never say, “I want to talk about my books,” and then bore you by
doing that for over 3 hours. I just talk about the weather and such, unless you
want to talk about my religion. Now, ain’t I nice? No doubt that pastor would
strongly object to me inviting him to drive 9 hard hours to my house for me to
then cram my religion down his throat from 9 PM till almost 1 AM, after setting
a plain cheese sandwich and drink before him. That preacher knows absolutely
nothing about obeying Christ’s command in Luke 6:31, (which is the subject of a
future chapter in this book). “And as ye would that men
should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.”
Oh,
was he ever opposed to me exalting tilling the ground and denouncing “rising”
and eating of the knowledge of good and evil. He wasn’t skinny at all, so it
was plainly evident that he regularly ate plenty of the food that farmers
produce. And from his foul breath camouflaged under mouthwash or something, and
from the stains on the pudgy finger he kept poking in my face as he derided me,
I think he might have been habitually using the produce of the tobacco farmers
in his fine state. (But I am not certain of that.) And from about 9 PM till
almost 1 AM, I sat on that hard, uncomfortable stool, totally spent from the
rough day I had sacrificed totally to his request to come to his church, and I
listened to him deride our Creator ordained first estate and exhalt
disobedience to God’s very first command to us in Genesis 2:17. There is one
thing about such people as him that I absolutely cannot understand at all. WHY
DO THEY BOTHER TO EAT FOOD???
He,
and many others like him, have made it most clear to me that they fervently
disdain farming. Then why do they have anything at all to do with the produce
from the farm? Why do they bother to eat the food that the farmers grow? Why do
they want to “defile” their bodies by putting into them, the plants, animals,
and animal products that dirty farmers produce in dirty dirt on God’s dirty
prison farms? All that farm produce does inside their bodies is to turn into
foul waste and gas that they have to regularly eliminate. So why do they bother
to eat it? That hypocrisy is perplexing to me. They are already committing the
sin of disdaining and holding in contempt our Creator ordained first estate.
Why not just stop with that one sin alone, instead of adding to it the
additional sin of being a hypocrite about it by regularly eating the food that
tillers of the ground produce? And for all these hypocrites who criticize
farming so vehemently as being such a terribly deplorable thing to spend one’s
life doing; if only they would cease their sin of hypocrisy in that
matter by ceasing to eat of the farm, then it would not be long at all till we
would no longer have to put up with listening to their bellyaching against
farming.
Mister
Baptist Pastor, you won hands down, my first place trophy for your “essay”
against farming and in favor of “rising” and the world, mainly because of the
length of your “essay.” The second place winner was not anywhere close to you
at all. Anyway, here is your trophy. You can see that it is made from cheap
metal and thus tarnishes easily. So you will have to spend much time polishing
it to make it look halfway decent. Then, when you meet your Creator on Judgment
Day, you can lay this fine trophy at His Feet and stand in His Face like you
got in my tired face those long, late night hours, and proudly recite your
4-hour essay to Him. No doubt you are looking forward to the time when you will
get to meet your Creator Face to face and set Him straight on what a deplorable
thing it is for humans to farm and what a wonderful thing it is for them to eat
all the knowledge of good and evil they can and for them to build the devil’s
kingdom. No doubt you will wax even more elegantly with your fine, first place
speech, when you impress your Creator with it on Judgment Day.
That
pastor wrongly used 2 things recorded in the Bible to support him in debasing
farming. I want to share his points with you, and rebut them as being false
conclusions on his part. He opened his Bible and showed me Psalms
107:23&24. “They that go down to the sea in ships,
that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and his
wonders in the deep.” Using this scripture, he declared that it is
seamen that see the works of the Lord and therefore know God the best, not
farmers. But this scripture does not bear that out at all. It says that people,
who go out to sea, see the works and wonders of the Lord out there in the
sea. That is true, of course. But this scripture in no way elevates
seafaring men above tillers of the ground.
The
other thing he argued from the Bible was that David, a man after God’s Own
Heart, was a shepherd, not a farmer. And he used that point to debase
“farming,” as opposed to being a shepherd. Therefore, when I first defined and
described our God ordained first estate toward the beginning of chapter 4 of
this new edition of this book, I described it as “living off the land and
water,” personally taking one’s own food from the land and/or water. If one
chooses to eat only fish or mutton, I believe he is still in his Creator
ordained first estate if he catches his own fish or grows his own mutton. Most
fishermen and shepherds eat some fruits, vegetables, grains, and such along
with their fish or mutton. And if they grow their own, they will do a little
farming along with fishing or herding sheep. Eskimos and other such people
living in extremely cold climates have been known for living almost solely on
animal products, not being able to grow fruits, vegetables, and grains in the
frozen earth there. I consider such people to be living in their first estate,
because they are personally taking their own food from the land and water, as
opposed to buying it out in the devil’s kingdom.
Also,
you can gather from the Bible that an Israeli shepherd family of David’s
generation would likely have cultivated (at least) a grape vineyard, fig and
olive trees, and likely several more fruits, vegetables, and certainly some
grains. (They certainly didn’t make their bread out of mutton.) Those shepherd
families tilled some ground along with herding sheep.
So with these
words of wisdom, I want to rebut that pastor who derided farming to me for 4
long, late night hours when I was most tired and sleepy. By doing so, he won first
place among many who spoke to me against our Creator ordained first estate.
Also by doing so, he has become famous as one of the main characters in this
book. When I am invited to preach at a church, I never mention money unless it
is to thank them for money they have already given me. I never ask for an
offering for coming there, or appeal for support for my missionary work.
However most churches that invite me, are kind and gracious enough to give me
an offering because it requires money for me to travel there. But this first
place trophy winner pastor gave me no offering at all, thereby considering
himself most worthy for me to spend a whole day traveling to him at my own
expense for the purpose of him having access to my ears for 4 late night hours.
Congratulations, you highly risen creature who so disdains your Creator
ordained first estate. (The next morning as I was leaving that home, my host
(the church member, not the pastor) did give me $20. And when doing so, he
appeared plenty embarrassed by his pastor’s rudeness to me by keeping me up so
late the night before and by not giving me an offering for coming to his
church.) So be it.
My
Christian friend, stand behind the good pastor God has given to you. Pray for
him and support him in every way God would have you to do. And all the time,
bear in mind that he is just as fallible as perfect Lucifer and perfect Eve
were. So be careful not to follow him where he errs. I too am certainly
fallible, and I do not claim perfection in any topic I address in this book.
But I do know there is a lot of God’s Truth in this book. And many preachers
and Christian leaders will oppose the truth in this book that they do not like,
just like that first place trophy winner did for 4 long, late night hours
before my weary eyes and ears after I arrived there for his convenience at the
end of a 9-hour long strip of concrete and asphalt. Personally seek your
Creator’s confirmation of what truth is in this book and obey your Creator
regarding it. When I, or any other Christian “leader,” part from God’s Truth,
then you owe it to your Creator to immediately part from following us. Don’t be
so foolish as to be a blind follower of a blind leader, because you will both
soon end up in a deep ditch.
“Heavenly Father, please save me from this sin of hypocrisy. I
know I must eat to live. I also acknowledge that eating is one of the most
frequent pleasures in my life. Therefore I ask Thee to save me from being a
hypocrite in this matter by disdaining the people who till the ground to
produce the much food that I eat. I pray for Thee to also save all other people
from this hypocrisy. I also ask Thee to please save me from following any and
all error and falsehood that Christian leaders preach & teach. Please save
all other Christians from being blind followers of blind leaders. Amen.”
“There was not a man to till the ground”
Many
human creatures have risen up so highly that they would never consider the
possibility of working in farm dirt every day. They can’t stand the thoughts of
wearing farm dirt under their immaculately manicured fingernails or wearing
barnyard manure on the soles of their shoes or boots. They gladly choose to
perform most ANY job out in the devil’s kingdom while adamantly rejecting their
Creator ordained first estate. They also train their descendents to disdain
farming, to hold it in the lowest regard, and to set their minds to do anything
in the “world” except farming. Therefore I can clearly see the Bible
prophesied famine coming our way, because the tiller of the ground is
disappearing from the face of the earth. “There was
not a man to till the ground.” (Genesis 2:5) That
was the condition of God’s creation before He created man to fill that void. Is
it going to be the ending condition of God’s creation on this earth, with Satan
enticing every last human creature to escape God’s prison farms and go build
his kingdoms? You say it will never happen? Well, just look at what a small
percentage of people presently remain on God’s prison farms; less than 2% in some
highly risen nations. The tiller of the ground has already just about completely
vanished.
Several
people who read the first edition of this book then collared me the first
chance they got and held me captive to the hot air spewing out of their mouths
as they derided farming in every way possible, as this first place winner of a
fine pastor did with his long, late night performance after I had spent a long,
hard day solely on traveling to preach to his people at his invitation. But I
have found a few questions that throw a monkey wrench into the cogs of their
smoothly moving mouth and tongue. “So, you think people shouldn’t farm, huh?”
“So, you are against farming, huh?” “So, you are against people farming, huh?”
Throw that monkey wrench at them and listen to their smooth running tongue go
spastic. “Uuh, huba, huba, uuh.”
They
sure do not want to say anything at all in response to such questions and will
skirt them in a most cunning, devilish manner. Sure they want SOMEONE
to keep farming to provide for their regular sin of gluttony. It is just that they
themselves have long ago risen high above growing food for anyone,
including themselves. And though they think just about everyone should get onto
the band wagon of escaping God’s prison farms and going out into the “world”
and competing for the best jobs out there to build a splendid kingdom for the
devil, somehow they are stupid enough to think that there will always be some
lowly creatures wearing dirt under their fingernails and barnyard manure on the
soles of their shoes, working in farm dirt every day to provide the mountains
of food that the builders of the devil’s kingdoms gluttonously devour everyday.
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” (Romans
1:22) You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Everyone can’t escape God’s
prison farms to go build the devil’s kingdoms, and still have food to eat.
There will not always be “fuel” to feed you overweight, fat, obese builders of
the devil’s kingdom. Famine is coming, folks. Why? “There was not a man to till the ground.”
Highly
risen human “gods” quickly become too good to dwell in their first estate and
there till the ground. Rather they come to hold that God ordained estate in
contempt and disdain. They so worship always having all their attire and their
entire body immaculately and squeaky clean, never sweaty and dirty. Therefore
the Lord is soon to reward them with more cleanness, cleanness of teeth. “And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all
your cities, and want of bread in all your places.” (Amos 4:6) When God
rewards you with famine for being too good to till the dirty ground, you will
no longer have to worry with the daily chore of dental hygiene. Famine will
keep your teeth clean with no effort on your part.
Not
only do many people despise our Creator ordained first estate for themselves
and for their descendants. Furthermore, they hold the lowly farmer who feeds
them in contempt and aren’t the least bit thankful to him for feeding them. Nor
are they thankful to God for that farmer and for the food he provides to keep
them from starving to death. Years ago, I recall an humble man giving God
thanks for the farmers who grew his food, as he prayed his prayer of
thanksgiving for his daily food. That prayer of his made a profound impression
on me. Therefore I started praying regularly in the same manner. If you do not
desire to experience famine and cleanness of teeth, a good start in the right
direction would be for you to genuinely appreciate the lowly tillers of the
ground who provide the necessary food to keep you from starving.
Back
about the year 2,000, I heard a news commenter in the U.S. mention that the
percentage of farmers in the nation had gotten so low (2%) that the politicians
had just about completely quit “courting” them, because they represented so few
votes. Years ago, farmers were a very high priority for politicians. But
politicians have steadily paid less attention to farmers while paying more
attention to the builders of the devil’s kingdom. After all, that is where 98%
of the votes are. And recently (2,003), as more residential areas are being
built in farming communities, I am hearing scattered reports of the newly
arrived, non-farming, city slicker types “campaigning” to evict and shut down
the farmers who were living there first. (Reader, can you give me some accurate
and factual reports of this.) That is plenty shocking to me to hear of the
builders of the devil’s kingdom becoming that hostile to the few remaining
farmers who feed them. Have they been so blinded by the god of this world to
completely forget the necessity of eating? Builders of the devil’s kingdom
build suburbia throughout farmland, and then try to evict the farmers,
complaining of the barnyard smell. Well, honey child, “it goes with the farm!”
It goes with producing the food that your fat, highly risen being so madly
loves to eat. And when you succeed in shutting down the farmers and doing away
with the barnyard smell drifting toward your immaculate castle of concrete,
glass, and chrome; you will also do away with your heretofore problem of trying
every diet plan that comes along, as you attempt to lose that tub of lard you
have to drag around because it is attached to your carcass. Succeed in getting
rid of the farmer and you will get cleanness of teeth, you will become skin and
bones, and you will starve to death in a famine. The devil has so blinded you
with the joys of building his kingdom that you can’t see that. So I warn
you, you had better wake up!
Multitudes
of people have become too proud to till the ground. Furthermore, they keenly
train up their descendents to likewise scorn and disdain farming. Some of them
exert much effort to evict the few farmers who remain living near them because
their sinfully proud beings are repulsed by the sight, dust, and smell of the
farm. Well, God has given me a warning for such people. Don’t be so stupid to
forget that the only reason you are alive is because there are still a few
people on this earth who haven’t become as vain as you have, and therefore they
still farm, for you, growing your needed food, for your life’s sake. And
when every last person on earth gets just like you (too proud to farm), then
you (and everyone else on earth) are going to starve to death. So, if you
think that rising up to be the greatest human being possible is a wonderful
thing for everyone to do, be sure to keep in mind that when everyone on earth
reaches that goal, then the world’s food supply will vanish because the farmer
will have vanished. “There was not a man to till the
ground.” You are free to love what you choose to love; rising,
disdaining your Creator ordained first estate, etc. But if you choose to love
such sin, then get ready to love starving to death. “There
shall be famines.”
“Heavenly Father, please create within me a heart which truly
loves that which Thou hast ordained for us human creatures. Help me to exalt
those things that are of Thee and to apply all of them to my own personal life
in accordance to Thy Will for me. I pray this for all other people also. Please
help us all to obey Thee. Amen.”
Back
about the 1980’s, several farm problems in the U.S. became acute enough to
daily be in the national news for some period of time. Getting weary of
repeatedly hearing the same dismal news, one city lady exclaimed in
frustration, “Well, so what if the farmers fail. I’ll just keep buying my food
at the supermarket.” It was reported that she said that in earnest, and not in
jest. If she was serious, she has lived in the devil’s kingdom so long that she
no longer connects the food she buys with a farm. Modern day airheads, blinded
by the devil, have developed such a vacuum inside their skulls that their I. Q.
would not even register on a tire gauge. I can clearly see God rewarding them with
famine.
As
we fervently enlarge the devil’s kingdoms at an alarming rate, sprawling cities
and suburbia are rapidly destroying the farmland. Still we are stupid enough to
believe that food can always be brought into these concrete jungles from
further away, even if more and more of it has to be imported from other
countries. That system will increasingly become problematic and will eventually
collapse. The further you remove your food source from your mouth, the
greater the danger becomes of that food not reaching your mouth. Many
different problems could halt food arriving from abroad, such as a strict
quarantine because of some food related, deadly disease breaking out in other
countries. Domestically, the deeper you are inside the concrete jungles of some
modern Sodom and Gomorrah, the greater the possibility of something halting
food flowing to you from far away farms. For instance, just one Mafia type
teamsters’ boss could get mad at someone and call for a transportation strike
and thereby do much to eliminate your food supply. Wise up and know that
the safest and most secure way for you to eat is to grow your own food as your
Creator ordained that you do.
By
growing your own food as God ordained that you do, you are located at your food
source and thus eat much of your food fresh and in season. What many fond
memories I have of plucking apples, peaches, pears, mulberries, and plums off
their trees; grapes, muscadines, blackberries, dewberries, huckleberries,
strawberries, and other assorted berries off their vines; and eating all those
right on the spot. It is so healthy to eat plant foods as soon as they are
separated from the plant that enlivens them, before the life and nourishment in
them begin to wane away as they are shipped far away to set on a grocery store
shelf. Using God’s wisdom, farmers dry and can foods to eat “out of season.” If
you presently freeze foods to preserve them, keep in mind that you are then
dependent on electricity supplied by the devil’s kingdom, to keep that food
frozen for you. So you might possible want to rethink using that method of food
storage, as it is not the safest method available.
One
main way that 2% of a nation’s population produces enough food for 100% of the
population, is by using “modern” farming methods developed from the
knowledge of good and evil; large, automatic machinery that is evolving
into robots, chemical fertilizers, chemical pesticides and herbicides, hormones
to spur animal growth, etc. Each of these methods has its down sides, which are
nothing more than destruction. That is because they are of the
devil’s kingdom that is inherently self-destructive. All such
“progress” and “better” methods that man comes up with are nothing more than rebellion
against the way our Creator ordained that we eat (by tilling the ground). By
forsaking our God ordained first estate and turning to those methods devised by
fallen man, we thereby declare to our Creator that we can outsmart Him and
devise better ways to live our lives. Therefore all those methods naturally
have God’s Wrath and Judgment upon them, which includes them destroying us.
With
everything that the human creature builds in the devil’s kingdom, he is
building his own destruction. And the more
knowledge of good and evil he consumes, the greater destruction he builds. One
dangerous way this climatic destruction (in relation to our food supply) is now
being manifested, is in the form of genetically engineering our food. Keep your
eyes open and just watch it turn into one of the most enormous and destructive
powers ever known on this planet. That is because it is nothing more than
sinful, rebellious man putting his wicked face right into his Creator’s Face
and angrily declaring that he is not at all satisfied with the way God created
our food. Therefore he (man) will “re-create” it “better.” Ha. Ha. Ha.
God is soon to laugh at their calamity and mock when their fear comes. You
already know how that little children’s bodies prematurely turn into adult
bodies when they eat meat (and eat and drink animal products) from animals fed
hormones to boost their growth. What a terrible thing! But likely that is just
a small preview of gross, freaky alterations that genetically engineered food
will bring on human bodies. “Professing themselves to
be wise, they became fools.” And now they have professed themselves to
be so wise that they are soon to become dead fools, destroyed by their own
stupid, foolish “wisdom.” Don’t you be so foolish to perish with them! Love
your Creator and love the way He ordained that you obtain food to eat. Love
your first estate of tilling the ground to obtain your food.
“Heavenly Father, please help me to truly love Thee with all my
heart. And please help me to truly love the life that Thou, my Creator God, didst
ordain for me. I pray this for all other people also. Amen.”
In
a somewhat futile attempt to be brief, I am just giving a few examples of the
many problems and much destruction inherent in man’s mad methods of outdoing
his Creator. These are just a few samples, pertaining to food, to set you to
thinking. So please be alert to listen to the news of the many, scary
problems that increasingly crop up in man’s modern ways of growing and
marketing food. Presently, they have “engineered” many vegetables and fruits to
stay “fresh” a long time on the supermarket shelf. What a relief that
“knowledge” is to food sellers. But think about you, the food buyer. In its God
created state, you can look at fresh food in the store and fairly accurately
guess at how old it is. Now with the “altered” stuff, you have no idea at
all how long it has set there on that store shelf, posing as a fresh fruit or
vegetable. Does that thought comfort you? It sure doesn’t comfort me.
Presently,
some of the peaches I buy here in Japan are hard (not firm, but hard) and they
stay hard indefinitely. They are not tasty or pleasant to eat at all. Some
tomatoes in the grocery stores here now have that same artificial hardness to
them. Some of the strawberries now taste awful, like the taste of a
preservative that is engineered right into them. For its convenience, the
devil’s kingdom is steadily offering us more and more “fake” foods and many
people living in the devil’s kingdom are soon to have difficulty finding God
created food to eat. Likely it will become increasingly difficult for people in
many places (especially large cities) to find foods that are truly nourishing
to their bodies. Also modern, convenient, “worldly” methods of preparing food
for eating, like microwave ovens that likely destroy and alter the nutrition in
foods, are detrimental to us.
I
will not even bother to touch on older problems of food for sale in the
devil’s kingdom, such as the “manufactured” and processed foods being loaded
with preservatives and many other things harmful to one’s health. You hear many
of these various problems reported in the news, and you have an unlimited
supply of sources of accurate information about them, handy to you in this
“information age.” Therefore my main objective is not to inform you of these
problems, but rather to tell you the most basic reason they exist; they
all originate in the devil’s kingdom, which is most destructive to all the
human creatures that have chosen it over our God ordained first estate.
Almost no one else is warning you of that in such a plain manner as I am.
Therefore I earnestly beg you to think on this warning.
“Heavenly Father, please help me to think on these warnings from
Brother Richard, and please give me the wisdom to see all these things just as
Thou, My Creator God, sees them. Please conform my mind to regard them in the
exact same way that Thou doest regard them. I pray this prayer for all other
people also. Amen.”
In
the 1950’s, the county roads where I lived were then often called “farm to
market” roads, because many farmers took their own vegetables and fruit into
town or to nearby cities and “peddled” them to the grocery stores, cafes, and
restaurants there. Or they would park under a shade tree somewhere in town and
peddle the produce to passersby. Such is still done to some degree and farmers’
markets still abound, but look now at mega size corporations vying for control
of various areas of the food business.
Every
person is a potential customer for food businesses, because everyone eats.
You would think that because everyone is going to eat anyway, that would make
it totally unnecessary for food companies to advertise. But look at just how
important much advertising is to them. They expend much effort to become your
food supplier, mainly for the much mammon that will bring to them. Therefore
big shot businessmen in the food businesses who love money and serve mammon
will readily do many devious and dangerous things to the food you buy from them
because some of them are in the business simply to make as much money as they
possibly can. Their riches and power enable them to lobby the politicians to
make these devious and dangerous things legal. The smaller the devil’s kingdom
is, the tamer it is. But we have worked so hard to build it to mammoth proportions,
making it as wild as a beast and also as destructive. And one of the most
powerful, deadly strangleholds, which the devil’s kingdom can get on you, is
that of controlling your food supply. “There shall
be famines.” You had better believe there shall be famines. If you love
the devil’s kingdom, you had better learn to love starving to death.
In
chapter 5, I mentioned how that repeatedly doing one routine task all day on a
job in the devil’s world brings on boredom. That boredom sometimes results in
workers deliberately “sabotaging” their work, “just for the fun of it.” This
has especially alarming potential in the food industries. Always keep in
mind how safe you can feel when you do what God ordained, by growing the food
you and your family eat.
Before,
I briefly mentioned that the devil’s kingdom is presently doing an excellent
job of feeding the populace in most “advanced” nations. Think on how effortless
obtaining food has become for you. You pick up the phone and order cooked,
ready to eat, food to be delivered right to your door. You drive by a window at
a fast food place, have food handed through your car window, and immediately
start eating your meal while traveling. Lunch is delivered right to many
workplaces, pre-planned by the week or month. You can walk into many
establishments and quickly buy cooked food to take with you, or you can sit
there and eat it immediately. In your house, you “zap” food in a microwave oven
and it is instantly ready to eat. And the list goes on and on. And for many of
us, the above convenient methods have sadly become our eating habits.
Why would anyone want to bother with the dirty, sweaty, laborious, painstaking,
time consuming, God ordained way of producing one’s own food on a farm?
In
1985, I visited in the home of a Christian elderly couple that were good
friends of mine. He was a retired medical doctor and they lived in a rural area
in Alabama. They didn’t have a vegetable garden of their own, but the wife told
me how her neighbor invited her to freely pick lima beans from their vegetable
garden, as they had just about picked all the beans they wanted for themselves.
So this retired doctor’s wife walked over to that nearby bean patch one day,
picked a basket full of beans, returned home, shelled them, prepared them for
the freezer, and put them in the freezer. She counted the small number of pints
they came to, thought of how much frozen lima beans cost in the supermarket,
calculated all the time she spent on gathering, shelling, and freezing them;
and calculated that her “pay” for doing so, was far below the minimum wage.
And she didn’t even do any of the much more time consuming (and expense
involved) work of planting and cultivating those beans. All she did was to
harvest them and put them away, which did not amount to her earning a minimum
wage.
For
a “farmer” who does all the work of growing veggies, if he kept a record
of all his time and expenses involved, and compared that to working a paying
job and using that money to buy veggies, his or her “pay” for growing that food
would probably be a very small percent of the minimum wage. Therefore, “it just
doesn’t make sense” to labor and sweat growing food, when the pay is so much
better out in the devil’s kingdom. Yes, the devil has done such a good job of
making his kingdom ever so appealing, and of making working in it ever so
“sensible.” He is most desirous to completely control your food supply,
food that you must have to live. He has done an excellent job in killing our
desire to grow our own food. He is very skilled at fattening us up for the
slaughter. Rest assured that it is not always going to be easy, convenient, and
cheap to get your food in the devil’s kingdom. He is setting up his residents
for slaughter and one day he is to cut off their food supply, or his residents
will be required to take a mark in the hand or forehead in order to obtain food
in his kingdom. Know for a surety that the wise way to get your necessary food
is the God ordained way. May God help us all to love our Creator ordained first
estate.
Almost
as a side note, I want to mention an important fact here. The devil’s
kingdom destroys the godly virtue of patience by making things convenient for
us and so quickly available to us. This is plainly illustrated in the way
it “instantly” gives us food ready for the eating as opposed to the way that
God’s ordained method requires us to work a long time on that food before it is
ready to be eaten. God’s method was ordained that way to build patience in
us. In Genesis chapter 18, three heavenly guests paid Abraham a visit. Look
at Abraham telling Sarah to get meal, knead it, and bake cakes of bread upon
the hearth (verse 6). Look at Abraham running to the herd, fetching a tender
calf, and giving it to a young man to kill, dress, and cook (verse 7). Then he
set before them milk, butter, the calf (vs. 8), and apparently the cakes, for
them to eat. I wonder how much time all that took? Nowadays, can you imagine
you (or your guests) having the patience to wait for that kind of food
preparation after guests arrive unexpectedly at your house? Today, when
unexpected guests show up, you typically phone in an order for “ready to eat”
food to be delivered to your house, or for you to run and pick it up shortly
when it is ready.
Do
you recall during the last half of the 20th century, how that words
like “fast,” “quick,” “convenient,” and “convenience,” became common in
businesses’ names and advertising, especially businesses that sell food? We so
desire all that convenience with our food, because we are very busy building
the devil’s kingdom and enjoying all the lusts of the flesh, lusts of the eyes,
and the pride of life out there in the devil’s world. Therefore the devil
gets glory by destroying the virtue of patience in us. God gets angry
over our much sinful rebellion concerning this. And we are soon to get
cleanness of teeth and famine for our sin. We all had better get on our knees
and cry out to our Creator to give us a repentant heart in this matter and to
give us a love for the first estate that He ordained for us.
“Heavenly Father, please give me a repentant heart over loving the
devil’s kingdom and all the convenience of it. Please instill in me a genuine
love for the first estate that Thou didst ordain for me. Please make me fully
aware of how dangerous it is for my family and me, for the devil’s kingdom to
have control of our food supply. And please guide me into Thy Perfect Will
concerning these matters. I pray these things for all other people also. Amen.”
“The king himself is served by the field”
It
is most wise for us to favor our God ordained occupation of “tilling the
ground” above all the other jobs out there in the devil’s kingdom because
eating food is necessary for us to live. There is a simple way to cause every
person/family to till the ground to produce their own food; everyone cease
producing food for anyone except their own family. Basically, I do not like
to use “fantasy land” examples, but I want to use one here. Suppose you could
wave a magic wand over the whole world and thereby cause everyone to declare,
“From now on, I will never produce food for anyone except my own family.” That
would turn the entire world population into food producers (tillers of the
ground). People out in space would come back to earth from those space
stations and start looking for some soil to till in order not to starve. The
President of the U.S. would plow up the Rose Garden at the White House and
plant vegetables to eat. Highly risen, rich, or famous, or powerful people all
over the globe would all have to turn to tilling the ground and to
wearing farm dirt under their fingernails. Even that plump Baptist pastor, that
won my first place trophy for the best (and longest) essay debasing tilling the
ground, would have to start farming. All the politicians, government workers,
law officers, military personnel, education personnel, and such peoples, would
suddenly have no time to perform those “important” duties because they would
all be working 72 hours a week just to produce their food and clothing. But the
good news is that their “important” duties would now be absolutely
unnecessary to anyone, because everyone else would also be busy 72
hours a week, producing their own food and clothing. And NO ONE would
have any time at all to build the devil’s kingdom for him! AMEN! What a
wonderful “earth” that would be, the way our Creator ordained that it be, when
He created it.
“Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is
served by the field.” (Ecclesiastes 5:9) The deep meaning
of that verse is direly important to you if you don’t want to starve to death
in the coming famine. Memorize it! Write it in large letters! Display it in
your home for your family to see. Display it on, or near, your family eating
table. Teach it to your children. Teach them that the profit of the earth is
for ALL people and that the most highly risen kings themselves stay alive by
being served by the field. You have loved rising all your life and therefore
have risen up to be a “God like,” “king like,” rebellious human creature. Well,
you had better sober up enough to humble yourself enough to become fully aware
that you will live on this earth ONLY as long as you are served by the
field. Some of you Christians who read this are so deeply entrenched in the
devil’s hardtop kingdom that you believe it is impossible for you to ever
change to tilling any ground. Well, if you have children who are not yet grown,
start faithfully teaching them these life sustaining and life threatening
matters from the Bible (and from this book), while praying earnestly that they
will do God’s Will for them concerning tilling the ground. Some of you are
already doing that. I have gotten some handwritten letters from your little
children declaring to me, “I want to be a farmer.” AMEN! Christian parent, you
have already accomplished much, when you have trained your child to
desire that.
One
more thought on that “fantasy land” example I gave. Suppose all of those very
few farmers in the U.S. (2% of the population) were to suddenly declare with
one voice, “From this day on, we will no longer produce food for anyone except
our own families.” Likely everyone would not start growing his or her own food
as I fantasized. Instead, you would immediately realize that America certainly isn’t
“the land of the free.” The government would do whatever was necessary to make
those 2% keep right on producing the food our nation needs. The President would
call out the National Guard to make those farmers keep supplying the nation’s
food, at gunpoint or bayonet point. What an interesting scenario would unfold
if only the few farmers who produce everyone’s food were to suddenly say in
unison, “We will no longer do it.”
“The king himself is served by the field.” Oh
how I love that eternal scripture! Wise King Solomon sure did make a wise
declaration there. May God help us all to pay much serious attention to it.
Let’s look at another good scripture like it. “He that
tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread.” (Proverbs 28:19) Write
that one also in big letters and display it inside your abode. That is God’s
wonderful promise to those who are obedient to Him by abiding in their first
estate. Tilling the land is the God ordained method for you to have plenty
of bread to eat. The God ordained occupation of tilling the ground is the
most humble lifestyle that exists. But it is not the most
humbling “event” that can happen to you. Having no food to eat is
about the most humbling event that can happen to you. So, if you desire
bread to eat as opposed to starving in the upcoming famine, then repent of your
love for the world and ask God to help you to start tilling some land.
“So,
Brother Richard, do you think everyone is going to read this book, wise up and
see the light, start farming, and thereby prevent the coming famine?” Oh no! I
think they are going to continue fervently loving the devil’s kingdom and
starve to death in the upcoming famine. That is, everyone except YOU! I think
you are smart enough to wise up, do right, and start tilling the ground to have
plenty of bread to eat. Congratulations on you being the only wise one. So
actually this book is a personal letter just to you. Now doesn’t that
make you feel good??
I
recall listening to several godly, old-fashioned preachers in the 1950’s, 60’s,
and 70’s who believed that famine and the end of the world were close at hand,
say within a decade or so. As they preached, I heard them give the wise advice
of calling on people to get out of the cities and towns, and get on a little
land where they could have a milk cow, chickens, a vegetable garden, their own
water well, and such. I heard plenty of such preaching from the time I was a
little tike, and it made much sense to me then, and ever since then. Keeping
that in mind down through the years, I think on how that typically those
preachers gave us little or no scripture pertaining to that advice. “Get out of
Sodom because God is going to destroy it.” Saying something like that was about
the extent of their use of scripture as they called on people to return to
God’s earth. With God’s Help and from His much teaching to me for over 5
decades now, I am using many pertinent scriptures from His Holy Bible as I call
on you in this book to love God’s earth and to hate the devil’s world.
God has commanded me to do my best to make you without excuse for continuing in
your sins of loving the devil’s kingdom and loathing tilling the ground. I pray
that you will be totally receptive to all that God wants to personally teach
you from these writings.
“Heavenly Father, please do give me a heart willing to receive and
obey all that Thou doest want to teach me and to have me do regarding these
things. Please give me clear, spiritual discernment of all Thy Truth that is in
these writings. I pray this for all other people also. Amen.”
I
also want to pay homage to you who are presently tilling the soil. I know how
you are looked down on and disdained by many of the proud, highly risen, sinful
human creatures who stay alive (and also get fat) by eating the food you grow for
them. So many highly risen, proud people consider all farmers to be failures in
the following way. They look on you, as having failed to do the main thing
desired by most everyone; escape God’s prison farm. That is the stepping
off place to rising, succeeding, becoming a great being, becoming a god. They
consider the farmer a failure in that he will never rise to any degree at all,
as long as he stays shackled to God’s prison farm. So many proud sinners look
down on the farmer as THE person who did nothing worthwhile with his life. And
all that time, the farmer is keeping them alive. What a marvel! My dear
farmer friends, it takes a foolish mind most deceived by the devil to think
like that. So I beg you, please do not be discouraged or downhearted because
there are so many stupid, proud sinners around you who have such a foolish and
deceived mind. You give so much glory to your Creator by abiding in your first
estate. You are obtaining your food the way your Creator ordained. There is
much safety in that. I encourage you to keep up the good work and to glorify
this Creator ordained first estate before your children and train them up to
love it, instead of loving the world. Amen!
In
the previous chapter, I gave you the most basic and the main reason for you to
love tilling the ground; because that is what God created you to do. This
chapter contains the 2nd most important reason for you to love your
Creator ordained first estate; WITHOUT FOOD TO EAT, YOU DIE! Either you
till the ground to produce your necessary food, or you buy it in the devil’s
kingdom. The wisest, safest, most secure, and most blessed way to have food to
eat is the way your Creator ordained; tilling the ground.
Right
now is the time for you to repent of your scorn, disdain, and hatred of your
Creator ordained first estate. You shouldn’t love eating any more than you love
that first estate. You shouldn’t disdain that first estate any more than you
disdain eating. It is time for you to repent of your sinful hypocrisy in this
matter and make those 2 matters equally important in your heart. May God help
you to do so.
In
Genesis 1:31 when the Lord God looked around at His perfect creation, saw every
thing that He had made, and beheld that it was very good, that creation
abounded with fresh, clean air and water, and fertile soil for the food. The
Lord God’s creation was rich in the 3 things necessary to sustain our lives. As
we have gone about building the devil’s kingdom, we have more or less taken for
granted the air, water, and soil that keeps us alive, all the while destroying
and contaminating those 3 vital things God created for us. How madly we have
loved all the building we have done that has destroyed these 3 things that our
Creator ordained to provide for our physical life. And as the end of the world
fastly approaches, along with its famines and plagues, likely we are soon to
come to our senses and wish we could trade ALL the glory of ALL the devil’s
kingdoms we have built, just for some clean air to breathe, clean water to
drink, and fertile, uncontaminated soil to till and grow food. How foolish we
were to not leave God’s earth as He created it. How foolish we have been to be
lackeys of the devil and build his destructive kingdom on God’s earth. It is
now high time for us to come to our senses and see how sinful we have been and
cry out to God to help us to change and do right. It is high time for us to
truly repent of loving the world. “Love not the world.”
“Almighty God, by Thy Unlimited Power, please help me to obey this
important commandment, and to truly repent of loving the world, the devil’s
kingdom. Please help me to truly repent of the sin of hypocrisy of loving to
eat like a glutton while all the time disdaining the thought of having to till
the ground to produce the food that I so love to eat. Please help me to
seriously meditate on all of Thy Holy Scriptures that Brother Richard has
mentioned in this chapter, while being ever so sensitive as to what Thy Holy
Spirit desires to teach me from those Scriptures. I pray these things for all
other people also. Please guide us all into obedience to Thee. Thank Thee,
Lord, for hearing and answering this prayer. Amen.”
