GOD’S EDITORIALS

***   BONUS SECTION   ***

THREE WEEKS IS A LONG TIME TO LEAVE YOU WITHOUT THOUGHT
SO I WILL TEACH YOU A SHORT MATH LESSON TODAY
AND I ASK YOU TO PONDER WHERE YOU ARE
DURING THIS TIME

THE LESSON OF EXPONENTS

LOOK AT THE NUMBER 10 TO THE 9TH POWER
IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS:
1,000,000,000.
SIMPLE
BUT WHAT SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM DOES THIS REPRESENT?

THINK OF EACH PERSON AS BEING THE NUMBER 1
THINK OF THE DECIMAL AS BEING THE DIVIDING LINE
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL
BECAUSE OF THE FALL OF MANKIND
ALL ARE BORN FALLEN, IN OTHER WORDS, WITHOUT MY SPIRIT
SO THEY WOULD BE REPRESENTED
BY THE NUMBER
.1
ONCE SOMEONE DECIDES TO EMBRACE ME
AND THEIR SPIRIT IS QUICKENED
TO ETERNAL LIFE WITH ME
THEY MAKE THE JUMP ACROSS THE DECIMAL FROM THE DESTINY
OF HELL TO THE DESTINY OF HEAVEN
THEY BECOME THE NUMBER
1.
TOO SIMPLE?
JUST WAIT, IT GETS BETTER

LET'S SAY THAT A PERSON CREATES MORE ROOM
FOR ME WITHIN THEIR LIFE
THEY DIE TO THEIR DESIRES AND NATURAL INCLINATIONS
AND ARE MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE TO MY SPIRIT
THEY BECOME THE NUMBER
10.
I HAVE INCREASED THEIR POWER AND AUTHORITY
AND THEY ARE THAT MUCH MORE REMOVED FROM HELL
AND FROM NATURAL MAN
IT IS NOT EASY TO TRAVERSE THE EXPONENTS
TO GO FROM POWER TO POWER
BUT MANY DO IT TO SIMPLY SURVIVE THE OPPOSITION
WHICH RISES UP AGAINST THEM

TO GO FROM ONE LEVEL TO THE NEXT
IN OTHER WORDS, TO RISE TO A POWER OF 10 GREATER
IN MY KINGDOM
THERE IS MUCH SURRENDERING AND MUCH "DEATH"
IT IS NOT AN EASY ROUTE, BUT TO SOME
THEY WILL NEVER STOP THIS PROGRESSION
UNTIL THEY ARE CALLED "HOME"
THERE ARE SOME OF THIS GENERATION THAT ARE AT
THE NUMBER 10 TO THE 7TH POWER
AND THEY CONTINUE ON . . . FROM GLORY TO GLORY
FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

BUT NOW LET'S SPEAK OF THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE DECIMAL POINT
MOST PEOPLE SIMPLY STAY AT THE NUMBER .1
THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY "EVIL" PEOPLE
IN FACT, THEY CAN BE QUITE GOOD AND QUITE GOOD FOR MANKIND
BUT MY SPIRIT STILL DOES NOT LIVE WITHIN THEM
WILL THEY STILL GO TO HELL?
YES, THEY WILL
BUT TO EACH PERSON IS GIVEN THE CHANCE
TO CROSS THE DECIMAL POINT

TO EACH PERSON

KNOW THAT

NOW, LET'S LOOK AT A RELIGIOUS PERSON
WHERE DO THEY RESIDE?
DOES THE NUMBER .001 LOOK "BAD" TO YOU?
IT IS
BECAUSE OF THE STRONGHOLDS AND THE POWER
WHICH HOLDS THESE PEOPLE THEY HAVE VERY FAR TO GO
TO REACH THE TRUTH AND MY SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE
THERE IS MUCH TO OVERCOME
BUT SOME - ONLY A FEW WILL MAKE IT BACK PAST
THE DECIMAL TO MY TURF
LOOK AT THE POWER THAT IS UPON THEM TO HOLD THEM IN PLACE
IF A CHRISTIAN BECAME A 100. THEY WOULD BE VERY ADVANCED
IN MANY AREAS
SO FOR A PERSON TO BE THE OPPOSITE
IS A SIGN THAT MUCH POWER
POWER OF THE EVIL ONE HOLDS THEM AND CONTROLS THEM

THERE ARE THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE OF THE EVIL ONE
WHO PRACTICE WITCHCRAFT
AND THEIR NUMBER IS EASY TO IMAGINE
THEY, TOO, LIKE THE ONES WHO TRULY BELONG TO ME
CAN PROGRESS IN EXPONENTIAL FORM
FROM .1 TO .01 TO .001 TO .0001
AS THEY BECOME MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE
AND GIVE MORE OF THEMSELVES TO SATAN

DO YOU NOT FIND IT INTERESTING TO DISCOVER
THAT THOSE WHO PRACTICE WITCHCRAFT
MAY HAVE EVEN LESS POWER TO DECEIVE
THAN RELIGIOUS PEOPLE?
INTERESTING FACT, BUT TRUE
WHAT CAN BE MORE DECEPTIVE THAN THE APPEARANCE OF GOOD?
THINK ABOUT THAT THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE A YOUNG PERSON INVOLVED IN
WITCHCRAFT AND YOU MAY BE QUICK TO CONDEMN THEM
AND YET, THEY MAY ONLY BE AT A LEVEL OF .01 IN THEIR POWER
AND YET, THE PASTOR OF THE LOCAL CHURCH IS FULLY AT .001
JUST THINK ABOUT IT

LET'S LOOK AT THIS ONE MORE TIME IN A DEEPER FASHION
HOW WOULD ONE GO FROM ONE LEVEL TO ANOTHER?
WHEN A PERSON FIRST BECOMES A CHRISTIAN
THEY MOVE TO A SIMPLE 1.
BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE

MOST STAY IN THIS POSITION THEIR WHOLE LIVES
THEY CAN EASILY SLIP TO THE OTHER SIDE
AND MANY WILL IN THESE END-TIMES
BUT TO THOSE WHO WILL ACCEPT MY WAYS
I ALLOW THE OPPOSITION TO TEST AND TRY

TO THOSE WHO PASS THE TESTS AND DO NOT SUCCUMB
TO SATAN'S WAYS - THEY WILL ADVANCE IN POWER
BUT TO THOSE WHO FAIL THE TESTS AND GIVE IN
DUE TO A LACK OF FAITH
THEY LOSE MUCH GROUND
AND MUST BE TESTED AGAIN AND AGAIN

IS FIGHTING THE OPPOSITION THE ONLY WAY
THAT ONE CAN GAIN GROUND AND POWER?
NO, IT IS JUST ONE WAY
BUT FOR THOSE WHO SEEK ME WITH THEIR WHOLE HEART
THEY DO NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE HEARTACHES
OF THOSE WHO LAZILY SIT IN POSITION
IF YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO GROW CLOSER TO ME
AND GO UP IN LEVEL
OF EXPERTISE THEN I WORK NIGHT AND DAY
IN WAYS WHICH WILL NOT BRING YOU HARM
BUT FOR THOSE WHO SIT IDLY BY
AND ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THEIR POSITION
I PROD THEM WITH THE ENEMY
AND HE IS VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES
VERY GOOD
THINK ABOUT IT
HE'S HAD MUCH TRAINING THROUGH THE YEARS
ALL THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES "CHRISTIAN"
HAVE BEEN AN OPEN TARGET FOR HIS ARMY
I ALLOW ONLY WHAT WILL CAUSE MY PEOPLE TO ADVANCE
BUT IF THEY DO NOT TAKE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY
BUT SHRINK BACK
THEN THEY SLIDE BACK

SO, WHAT ARE YOU TO DO TO GAIN LEVELS
IN AUTHORITY AND POWER
IN THIS AGE?
WOULD FELLOWSHIP IN A CHURCH HELP?
HARDLY
WOULD READING THE BIBLE MORE AID YOUR GROWTH?
SOMETIMES
WOULD THINKING HARD IN EACH SITUATION -
"WHAT WOULD JESUS DO" ADD TO YOUR POWER?
NO

THEN WHAT?

WELCOME THE ADVANCE OF THE ENEMY
AND THEN "SLAUGHTER" HIM WITH FAITH
MY DIVINE FAITH
DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE NOT UP TO HIS ATTACKS?
I WILL ONLY ALLOW THAT FOR WHICH WILL CAUSE YOU TO GROW
IS IT STILL HARD TO THINK THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO WELCOME
TROUBLE UPON YOURSELF AND PERHAPS, YOUR FAMILY?
OF COURSE, IT IS NOT A COMFORTABLE POSITION
MOST WOULD RUN FROM THE TROUBLE TO FIND MY SHELTER
BUT STAND, CHRISTIAN, STAND
STAND IN MY STRENGTH
AND TELL SATAN HIS BOUNDARIES IN YOUR LIFE
AND IN THE LIVES OF THOSE YOU LOVE
PRAY THE SHIELD
AND THEN TAKE EACH ADVANCEMENT FROM HIS TROOPS
AS A SIGN OF HONOR THAT I AM CHALLENGING YOU TO ACHIEVE
A MIGHTY POSITION IN MY KINGDOM

DO YOU WANT TO REMAIN A NUMBER 1.
OR DO YOU SEEK FOR GREATER THINGS?
MY POWER AND AUTHORITY IS AVAILABLE TO ALL
BUT WHO WILL SEEK TO GO THROUGH WHAT IT TAKES
TO ACHIEVE TRUE GREATNESS?

READ THROUGH THE GOSPELS AND SEE HOW I WAS TESTED
I PASSED EVERY TEST FOR THE POWER WAS WITHIN ME
TO DEFEAT SATAN
YOU CAN DO THE SAME FOR I LIVE WITHIN YOU
IF YOU HAVE PASSED OVER THE DECIMAL

COME ON, BECOME A HERO

HOW FAR CAN YOU GO?
MY SERVANT WILL BE WORKING THESE NEXT THREE WEEKS
IN SILENCE ON HER NEXT LEVEL
AND IT WILL TAKE ALL THAT SHE HAS OR CAN LAY DOWN
TO SURVIVE

WILL IT BE WORTH IT?

OH YES
OOOOH YES!!!

3 WEEKS TO THE MARK, SERVANT
DO NOT FEAR
I WILL NOT "DROP" MY GLORY ON YOU AS I DID LAST TIME
WITH AN IMMOBILIZING ACCIDENT
THIS TIME YOU WILL SURPASS ONE BOUNDARY FOR WHICH
YOU COULD NOT CROSS BEFORE
AND THEN WE WILL BE SET TO ADVANCE UPON
THE WORLD
IN STADIUM-SETTING

I'm still scared . . .

JUST HOLD MY HAND, AS ALWAYS
AND WE WILL SET NEW BOUNDARIES
WE WILL ALARM THE OPPOSITION WITH THE POWER
THROUGH ONE MORTAL
AND WE WILL REIGN TOGETHER
AS ALL WERE MEANT TO DO BEFORE THE FALL
3 SHORT WEEKS AND ALL WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED
REST IN ME
FOR EVERYTHING IS TRULY DONE FROM THE POSITION
OF BEING IN MY SHADOW
ALL

. . . and a story for our times
THE LITTLE BOY WHO PULLED A WAGON

A LITTLE BOY PULLED A WAGON FULL
OF HIS FAVORITE ROCKS TO THE STATE FAIR
HE DIDN'T HAVE FAR TO WALK FOR HE HAD PLAYED
AT THE FAIRGROUNDS FOR MANY YEARS
EVER SINCE HE COULD GO OUT ALONE
HE WAS ALL OF NINE YEARS OLD NOW
AND HE LONGED FOR HIS ROCK COLLECTION
TO BE JUDGED BY THE PEOPLE
HE HAD DREAMED OF THIS DAY
AS HE WOULD WALK THE GROUNDS IN THE PAST
"SOMEDAY", HE WOULD SAY TO HIMSELF,
HE WOULD "WIN FIRST PRIZE"
AND EVERYONE WOULD KNOW THAT HE WAS THE BEST

ON THIS SUNNY APRIL DAY, HE ANXIOUSLY PULLED HIS WAGON
AND PARKED IT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE PANEL OF JUDGES
THE JUDGES HAD BEEN PICKED CAREFULLY FOR THEY KNEW
HOW TO JUDGE ROCKS WELL
HE STOOD PROUDLY BY FOR HE HAD LITTLE DOUBT
THAT HE WOULD WIN
FOR WHAT WAS HIS COMPETITION?
HE ONLY KNEW OF ONE OTHER BOY WHO HAD A COLLECTION LIKE HIS
BUT HE REMEMBERED IT BEING SMALLER

AS THE OTHER BOY CAME FORWARD WITH HIS COLLECTION
HE EVEN SMILED AND GREETED HIM AS A GENTLEMAN WOULD
FOR WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO LOSE IN BEING NICE?

THE JUDGES JUDGED CAREFULLY AND CAME TO A DECISION
A DECISION WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE MOST BOYS
PROUD AND CONTENT
BUT HE KNEW IF HE DIDN'T COME IN FIRST
THEN HE HAD FAILED COMPLETELY
THE NEXT STATE FAIR WAS SO FAR AWAY
HE JUST HAD TO WIN
HE WOULD DO ANYTHING TO WIN
HE BEGAN TO SHAKE HIS WAGON
TO SHOW THE JUDGES HOW THE ROCKS WOULD SPARKLE
HE HAD HIS FRIENDS TALK TO THE JUDGES
TO TELL THEM HOW HARD HE
HAD WORKED TO GET THE COLLECTION READY
HE EVEN ASKED THE PEOPLE IN THE CROWD IF THEY HAD EVER SEEN
A FINER ROCK COLLECTION
BUT THE VERDICT WAS CLEAR
HE HAD LOST
THE OTHER BOY HAD WON BUT NOT BY VERY MUCH

IF HE WAS MATURE, HE WOULD STUDY
THE OTHER BOY'S COLLECTION
AND THINK OF HOW HE COULD ALREADY BEGIN TO PREPARE
FOR THE NEXT CONTEST
BUT INSTEAD, HE GRIPED AND COMPLAINED
IN THE END, HIS PARENTS WERE CALLED TO ESCORT HIM HOME
SOME CALLED HIM A "SORE LOSER"
BUT MANY OTHERS KNEW THAT IT SIMPLY CAME FROM IMMATURITY
FOR HE WAS ACCUSTOMED TO GETTING WHAT HE WANTED
HE WAS USED TO PRAISE AND BEING IMPORTANT TO OTHERS
BUT JUST AS LIFE TEACHES MANY LESSONS
HE HAD TO LEARN THIS ONE, TOO

WILL HE PREPARE BETTER FOR THE NEXT STATE FAIR?
WILL HE APOLOGIZE FOR HIS IMMATURITY?
WILL HE SET A GOAL TO NOT ONLY WIN NEXT TIME
BUT TO DO IT WITH HONOR AND INTEGRITY?

WAIT AND SEE . . .


THE FOOTBALL GAME CONTINUES . . .

FOR THREE WEEKS I HAVE HELD YOU AT BAY, SERVANT
YOU HAVE WALKED FROM THE STADIUM TO REST
AND THINK THROUGH THE NEXT MOVES
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I SEE
AND WHAT MUST BE DONE TO PLAY THE GAME PERFECTLY
AS I HAVE PLANNED FROM THE BEGINNING . . .

I CALL A HALT TO THE BALLS THROWN
AND YOU WALK FROM THE STADIUM
YOUR HEAD IS DOWN AND YOU TAKE WITH YOU
ALL THE MANY FOOTBALLS
THAT WERE RESERVED FOR PLAY
ONCE YOU ARE CLEARLY OUTSIDE THE STADIUM
YOU DEFLATE THE BALLS AND REMOVE YOUR JERSEY
YOU BEGIN TO WALK ABOUT THE STADIUM IN PERFECT PEACE
FOR SURELY YOUR JOB IS COMPLETE
YOU HAVE DONE ALL THAT I ASKED AND PERHAPS,
THERE IS NO MORE
YOU ENJOY THIS REST FROM THE "WORK"
BUT AFTER WALKING ABOUT FOR DAYS YOUR CURIOSITY IS PEAKED
AND YOU STEP BACK INTO THE STADIUM HOPING THAT I HAVE FOUND
A REPLACEMENT FOR YOU
BUT THERE IS NO ONE ON THE FIELD AND THE PLAYERS SIT ALONG
THE SIDELINE WAITING . . .

YOU DON A SERVANT'S UNIFORM AND BEGIN
TO GIVE POPCORN TO THOSE IN THE STANDS
HOPING TO SEE WHEN PLAY BEGINS
BUT NOTHING HAPPENS
FINALLY YOU LEAVE FOR IT WAS MORE INTERESTING OUTSIDE
THE STADIUM THAN INSIDE
YOU BEGIN TO WALK ABOUT THE STADIUM AGAIN
AND YOU KNOW, WITHOUT ANY DOUBTS,
THAT YOU MUST RE-ENTER AND PLAY AGAIN
YOU GRAB A JERSEY WITH A DIFFERENT NAME UPON THE BACK
AND YOU SURFACE
AS YOU REPORT TO THE BENCH
THE COACH (ME) CALLS YOU APART FROM THE OTHERS
AND I ASSURE YOU THAT I WILL NOT HAND YOU THE BALL TO PLAY
UNTIL YOU WEAR YOUR OWN JERSEY
(NO MORE ALIASES TO GET THE WORDS ACROSS)
RELUCTANTLY, YOU PUT ON THE JERSEY WITH YOUR NAME AND
THE NUMBER 9 PLAINLY PRINTED ON IT
AND I HAND YOU THE BALL
THIS TIME THERE IS ONLY ONE BALL FOR THE ENTIRE GAME
EACH TIME THAT YOU THROW TO THE RECEIVER
THE PLAY WILL NOT CONTINUE UNTIL THEY HAVE CAUGHT THE BALL
SCORED AND RETURNED THE BALL TO YOU
THIS IS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF GAME
BUT AS I HAVE ALWAYS SAID TO YOU
YOU WILL RAISE UP THE LEADERS IN EACH AREA
AND IF THEY FAIL TO CATCH THE PASS
THEN THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER PROGRESS
THE LEADERS MUST BE RAISED UP NOW

YOU LOOK DEJECTED AS YOU PLAY
FOR YOU ARE SURE THAT MOST OF THE LEADERS ARE NOT READY
TO RECEIVE THE BALL AND RUN THROUGH THE OPPOSITION
YOU THROW LONG AND ACCURATELY, BUT YOU BELIEVE THAT SOME
WILL TURN AWAY FROM THE BALL
WHEN THEY REALIZE WHO THE QUARTERBACK IS
BUT I TELL YOU THE TRUTH THIS DAY, CHILD
IF THEY WOULD TURN FROM YOU - THEY WILL SURELY TURN FROM ME
AND I WILL NOT ALLOW THEM ON THE TEAM
WEAR YOUR JERSEY PROUDLY KNOWING THAT THIS IS THE REAL GAME
AND I WILL ACCOMPLISH ALL THAT MUST BE DONE
THE NUMBER 9
ON YOUR JERSEY REPRESENTS THE FACT THAT ALL THE WORK
WILL BE DONE BY MY POWER AND MY SPIRIT
JUST DO AS YOU ARE TOLD
LIFT YOUR HEAD UP, CHILD
DO NOT PLAY INTO THE OPPONENT'S HANDS
BY BELIEVING THEIR LIES
STAND TALL
FOR SURELY, I STAND WITH YOU
ARE YOU READY TO PLAY?

Please make me ready for I know that I am not

AND THAT IS MY JOB, TOO
TO PREPARE THE QUARTERBACK
FOR NEVER CAN ANYONE LOOK BACK IN TIME
AND SAY THAT THE WORK WHICH I DO THROUGH YOU
WAS DONE THROUGH YOUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR STRENGTH
ALL WILL KNOW WHO EMPOWERS YOU
YOU ARE FRAIL, ALONE
  YOU ARE AFRAID, ALONE
YOU ARE MEEK, ALONE
         YOU ARE WITHOUT POWER, ALONE
    BUT YOU ARE MINE
AND I WILL FILL YOU COMPLETELY WITH MYSELF
AND WE WILL SURELY ROCK THIS WORLD
AMEN?

Amen

AND WHEN WILL WEEK 51 APPEAR?
IT IS ALREADY WRITTEN AND ESTABLISHED
EVEN THE DECREES
BUT WHEN WILL I GIVE YOU THE GO-AHEAD?
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE COACH AND I WILL MOTION THE TIMING
JUST WAIT . . .
HOLD ONTO THIS BALL UNTIL ALL THE RECEIVERS ARE READY
AND IN POSITION

HOLD . . .
