I worship on the 7th day Sabbath and recently was married in Las Vegas at a Hilton Resort that gave me a travel package with a timeshare meeting scheduled on Sabbath. I wanted the good rate on the hotel stay and asked that the meeting for the timeshare be changed to a Friday. I was told it was not available. I booked the hotel anyway and started praying asking God to move the meeting to Friday for me. I had faith that God would do this for me. I called the hotel again and they said no Friday was not available. I kept praying and was going to call the hotel again and I forgot to call but then someone from the hotel called me and said one opening came up and they switched us to the Friday meeting.
I know you said you wanted to see a mountain moved but I had faith of a mustard seed and God saw fit to change that meeting for me because I wanted to honor Him and obey the fourth commandment to Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy which my husband and I got to do at a church in the area. It might not have been a dirt mountain but it was an impossible situation to me, but I knew God would fix it for me and in that my faith did not waiver.

I haven't read all of your statements but I believe you said you were a former believer so if that is true you should know that God can use anyone to further His work and spread love. God has a plan for everyone even you and I do so hope and pray that you would change your mind and rejoin the mission that God has to spread the gospel and help Jesus return so we can go home and get out of this world of sin and injustice. God is calling you are you listening?
I think it important to never become complacent in seeking Him, as YHWH clearly gave us our own free will and I think about how many hours I have spent just brushing my teeth throughout the years, I feel like I should seek Him... the idea is magnified when I think how simple I am and how powerful He is, and then when I look at how mankind has gone the other direction I almost feel the generations of humanity that led to my birth was not focused on Him...
Yeremyah 16:19-21, "O YHWH, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles will come to You from the ends of the earth, and will say: Surely our fathers have inherited nothing but lies and vanity; worthless, powerless gods of no use at all! Do men make gods for themselves? Yes, but they are powerless! Therefore behold, I will make them to know--this time I will teach them My power and might; and they will know that My Name is YHWH!
Mattithyah 14:10-14, "Beware that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say to you: In heaven their malakim always see the face of My Father Who is in heaven. The Son of Man has come to save that which was lost; So what do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, but one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine to go search the mountains for the one that has gone astray? And if it should be that he finds it, truly I say to you that he rejoices more over that one, than over the ninety-nine which never strayed. In the same way, it is not the will of your Father Who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish."
