With My Own Eyes
And
Heard Speaking ... With My Own Two Ears?!
With My Own Eyes
And
Heard Speaking ... With My Own Two Ears?!
Who Would That Be, Pray Tell?!
I Saw And I Heard
An Honest To Goodness Laodicean Today!
You're Joking!
I'm Very Serious!
I Thought A Laodicean Was Just Like Them There Umicorms?!
Unicorn! You Mean Unicorn!
That's What I Said!
If You Say So!
How Could You See And Hear A Symbol Speak?!
That Man Was No Symbol!
He Even Uttered The Self Same Words
From Revelation 3!
He Even Uttered The Self Same Words
From Revelation 3!
You Don't Say!
I Do Say!
He Said, In Response To A Younger Minister
Who Had Requested Funding Assistance
From His Rich Ministry:
Who Had Requested Funding Assistance
From His Rich Ministry:
I'm Glad To Be 80 Year Old Man
With The Means To Do Anything I Want
Whenever I Want!
With The Means To Do Anything I Want
Whenever I Want!
You Could See The Gloat Of The Goat All Over His Face!
The Younger Minister Looked Like
Almighty God Had Given Him
The Gold Keys To The Living Kingdom
Almighty God Had Given Him
The Gold Keys To The Living Kingdom
And
He Was So Very Proud To Have Old Money Bags On His Team!
Mr. Big-Money Bags Was Proudly Pushing
The "I Have Need Of Nothing!"
"I Am Rich!"
"I Am Increased With Goods!" Narrative
And ... ObviouslyDid Not Realize
Or Refused To Acknowledge That
He Is Wretched Miserable
Poor Blind
And
Butt Naked!
The "I Have Need Of Nothing!"
"I Am Rich!"
"I Am Increased With Goods!" Narrative
And ... ObviouslyDid Not Realize
Or Refused To Acknowledge That
He Is Wretched Miserable
Poor Blind
And
Butt Naked!
He Ain't The Only One!
Word!
Probably Didn't Reach That Teaching Yet!
Or The One About The Camel Going Through The Eye Of A Needle
Before A Rich Man Can Get Into Almighty God's Heaven!
Before A Rich Man Can Get Into Almighty God's Heaven!
It's Sad That The People Of God
Foolishly Believe That Temporal Prosperity
Foolishly Believe That Temporal Prosperity
Is
Eternal Prosperity
And
That The Rich Church ... Complacent
That The Rich Church ... Complacent
Is
Avidly Approved Of By Almighty God!
Sad Indeed!
I Guess They Don't Know The Part Of The Bible

Which Says:
Buy Of Almighty God ... Gold
Tried In The Fire!
Indeed! Imperishable Gold
Drawn From The Furnace Of Affliction!
Drawn From The Furnace Of Affliction!
Their Actions Say That They Feel That It Is Too Much Work!
They Like The Golf And Country Club Life
Because
Self-Denial To Them Is Hard-Line Strife
Surgery - No Anesthetic -
With A Hot Knife!
Surgery - No Anesthetic -
With A Hot Knife!
It's A Pity That They Don't Realize That
All That Money Can Do Is Buy Things And Toys
And
All Power Is From The Great God Who Never Changes!
They Need To Trust The Living God
And
Stop Trusting In Fallen Men
With Loads Of Testifying Money!
Testifying Money!?!
Oh, Yes!
They Question Will Be Asked
And Must Be Answered
As Regards What They Have Done To Bless
The Lord Christ!
Know The Truth ...
A Blessing Unused For Almighty God
Ain't Nothing But A Curse!
A Cursed Soul Repentant
And
Turned Over To The Eternal God
To Be Used Of The Omnipotent God
Is
Turned Over To The Eternal God
To Be Used Of The Omnipotent God
Is
Twice Blessed!
Do The Math!
Yes, Indeed, Brethren!
We Need To Do The Math And Check Our Calculations
And
Stop Being Sinfully Presumptuous
Stop Being Sinfully Presumptuous
And
Refrain From Putting The Living God To The Test!
Refrain From Putting The Living God To The Test!
Indeed!
What We Really Need To Do
Is
Test The Spirits!
