Smoke,
hub and I have been taught by The Holy Spirit to leave the things of this world where they belong,
because we have been shown that the foundation is totally corrupt, because the 'ruler of this world'
is satan:
as it is written:
11COR. 4:4.
In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest The Light of the glorious gospel of Christ, Who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
JOHN 3:19.
And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light,
because their deeds were evil.
the crux of the matter is that satan IS the god of our world, and the carnal-man is naturally evil...
Prayer and Grief are a natural part of a Christian's life - when Christ reveals to us the actual reality
of the way things truly are, we then come to realize that we are truly 'strangers and pilgrims',
we know the we don't and never will 'fit-in', and we don't have any desire to...
as it is written:
JOHN 15:19.
If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but
I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
1JOHN 2:15.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of The Father is not in him.
1JOHN 4:17.
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment:
because as He is, (so are we in this world).
