Isaiah 30:8 (NIV)
"Go now, write it on a tablet for them, inscribe it on a scroll, that for the days to come it may be an everlasting witness."
1 Corinthians 10:14 (MSG)
So, my very dear friends, when you see people reducing God to something they can use or control, get out of their company as fast as you can.
What's happening in this city is very real. Literally rubbing on their heads, as if to reduce God to a proverbial "genie in a bottle."
When I tried to flee, even asked for help to get to the other city, I was literally thrown out into the gutter, where I have been oppressed and compassed by this city, and surrounding cities for ball-games. Or whatever else their greed and disobedience commanded.
Food and water is often manipulated. Whenever I go to get food from the homeless food lines, I'm hemmed in. And when I sit to eat the food, I'm compassed about. All of these things are being done to me as a means to control that which is conceived in me by the Holy Spirit.
Whenever, I speak of these things, I'm harassed all the more. This behavior is set against me daily, from the least to the greatest, and the greatest to the least. I'm often threatened with violence. Even my life has been threatened over this idolatrous nonsense.
I tried to warn these people many times that this behavior is not just offensive to me, but first and foremost, to God. You must remember that what began in Jerusalem brought catastrophe upon the whole nation of Israel.
This testimony is real.
