Re: Aah...Clarification. 23 seconds after you posted your message... I was reading it this morning.

Dear Ash,

This is the way my life is. I kind of pick thought waves up, sometimes. Like, something told me to puch in your last email and see what was there! So I did . . . and you had just posted your last email 23 sec. earlier. How's that for "being on time!"

I think, it's just the angels "doing their thing!" They plug people in, when it's something they know those persons want to hear or need to read, see, or hear. People say, I just happened to so and so. No. It isn't that way at all. It's the SPIRITUAL BEINGS called angels that guard over you - and they're just kinda, doing us a favor when they tell us to do this and that.

I know a fellow who lived in Dallas Tx. and when he was a boy, one day he was down town, and he said "Good Morning" to a skiny young girl. She stuck up her nose. As soon as he walked around the next corner, where she wouldn't hear him, he proclaimed very loudly - "one day you'll be wishing you want to marry me and then I'll decided if I want to marry you or not!" Fifteen years later he's living in Tampa, Fl. He meets a girl and falls in love. They get married. A full year rolls around. They file their incometax, jointly. Then comes a call from the IRS. "You filled in your income tax return incorrectly," the IRS says. "That's impossible," she says. "I took the returns to an expect tax consultant." She hands the telephone to her husband. "Sir," the IRS representative says, "You must have been writing out her tax number, and then you were interupped or something, and you ended it with your tax number, because these two tax numbers can't be right. The're only eight numbers apart!" The guy thinks about it for a minute. Then he puts his hand over the receiver and he says to his wife, "Why! You're you must be that snippy little girl that was standing on the corrner in Dallas Texas that morning when I said hello! I just came out of the building after getting my social security number, AND SO DID YOU! We were only eight people apart, standing in that line!"

So he tells the IRS how it happened that they both had numbers so closely linked. A marriage "made in heaven." He was getting ready to jump out the window and run away, just fifteen minutes before the weding took place. It was a long, dimly lit hallway just behind the wedding chapel. The "last chance window" look all too inviting. When no one was looking, he reached in and unlatched the window, then he pulled back the curtains - only to find that there was a big brick wall, right up against it, so there was no escape! At the same time, she was at home, refusing to put on her wedding dress! Her mother coaxed her and coaxed, and eventually, her mother dragged her down to the chapel, about 30 minutes late. The two of them were married, and I suppose, the angles truly rejoiced! And about five years later, she filed for divorce after a more than hectic, frightful, and far from delightful, encounter.

Moreover, I know that this little story is 100%, absolutely true, because IT HAPPENED TO ME! Surely, the angels hear what we say, and what we declare, and they just go ahead and put things together, just as we say or proclaim! It happened, exactly like I said it would! I even dicided, yes! When she was late, and actually home in an argument with her mother over whether she was going to come and get married or not, then I decided no! Too late! Too late! Too late! It was all set up, and in the end she proved to be only a little more grown up than she was when we first met. The angels take all the credit for that one, and when I finally get to see em, meet with em, and talk with them, I'm sure going to tell them how the "blew it" on that particular occassion. I don't scold them or belittle them now, however, in that I was wrong to say what I said, in the first place. They were watching over me, and they just heard me say it. They don't marry or procreate, so they don't really understand all the ramifications or all the ins and outs of having got me hitched to her!

Well, anyway, thank you for your note. Please let me know where your " Christianity Forum " is, and perhaps I can take a look at it sometime. The Christians who do not walk in the spirity, I believe, are just "baby Christians." They cry out "Abah Abah," or "Daddie, Daddie," (Father Father) and they haven't got their spiritual roots down yet in a manner of speaking, they can't walk very well, yet. So they don't "walk the walk" and they mostly babble and talk the talk, like a child who is first learning how to speak. When they finally get with it, however, then they become a useful vessel unto the Lord, and the Holy Spirit comes in and He "fills that vessel," so that they can find the Lord's will for their life. Anyone who was to "grow up" can do so, with relative ease... simply by praying and asking God to show them, His perfect will for their life! Once they find out what that is, then they find it takes a lot of "laying your life down," and being "filled with God's spirt - instead of continuing to live as the old spirual man in you has always dictated!!!! Then you become a "real Christian," or someone who is "truly dedicated to the Lord." And anyone who hasn't done this is truly, still crying and still in diapers - just going around waiting for God to bless them and bless them (i.e., easy believe-ism!)

So it is that you want to be doing what is right and turning away from your sins on a daily basis, while you are hear on earth. PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS AND THEN THE LORD WILL BLESS YOU! Then the Lord, CAN BLESS YOU! And it is only when you seek out HIS WILL for your life, that you end up being in a position where Jesus can say WELL DOWN MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT! ENTER INTO THE JOYS OF YOUR SALVATION! And all the others, the Bible says, He will spew you out of his mouth. That term is most closely associated with bad water, or water full of germs and other stuff. When you get a mouthfull of that kind of water, it feels warm because everything in it is attacking the inside of your mouth! So, in those days, something that was "spewed out" of one's mouth, was immediately deemed bad and not fit to eat or drink.

14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,
‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the church." Revelation 3:22
