"Rejoice, you people of Jerusalem! Rejoice in the LORD your God! For the rain he sends demonstrates his faithfulness. Once more the autumn rains will come, as well as the rains of spring." (Joel 2:23)
We usually think of the rain as the difficulties in our life - as something bad that only causes us pain, but here it says the rain demonstrated God's faithfulness! The rain during the storms of life may not feel good, may get us 'wet' and feel yucky. But it is also the rain that gives LIFE. We need the rain to survive. We should be still and soak in the rain when it comes, knowing that His rain brings us life.
"The threshing floors will again be piled high with grain, and the presses will overflow with new wine and olive oil." (Joel 2:24)
After the rain comes the harvest. The more we soak in that rain, the greater our harvest.
"The LORD says, "I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts. It was I who sent this great destroying army against you." (Joel 2:25)
He promises to restore what was lost! What are the locusts? Sin. Rebellion. The enemy's attacks. We allowed them to take away those years - to be unfruitful. But God promises to give us back those years...to restore and redeems us. He says He sent the locusts! He did it to make us aware of our sin and rebellion - so we'd recognize our need for Him! He doesn't want to hurt us - He wants us to come to Him so that He can bless us.
"Once again you will have all the food you want, and you will praise the LORD your God, who does these miracles for you." (Joel 2:26)
We will have everything we need! We will praise God, our Redeemer! Why not praise Him IN the rain!?

FYI, in Google Chrome (I don't know about other browsers) your posts show up in a supremely unreadable pale pink, against a white background. You might wanna do something about that. Make the text dark or the background dark, preferably the former. =)

With their "tax and spend" rhetoric the gods have effectively used the Republicans to transfer responsibility for the $14 trillion national debt to the Democrats.
Ronald Reagan spent the communist block into submission with defense buildup, and in the process increased the debt from $1 trillion in 1980 to $6 trillion when he left office.
W charged both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to the national debt, honest numbers to come.
Recall Clinton ran a surpuls at the end of his Administration. Fueled by low petrolium prices, understand how the god's other tools were used to create this "revelry cycle", one which assures people have little motivation to pursue the path and repairing their relationship with the gods.
As the gods used W to initiate the recession with deliberate legislation changes, ones which allowed the sub-prime fiasco and corporate irresponsibility which led to the multi-trillion dollar stimulous package, expect this wasn't the first attempt or the beginning of this "reverse positioning" strategy designed to create an enviornment to motivate people. Much like the immigration issue, where those who were vocal don't want the brown man in their country, many (most) conservatives and those capitalizing had alterior motivives to these eras of "deficit spending":::::
"Greed is good. Greed works. Now it seems as if it is legal."
Legislation facilitating temptation to those who are in position and the gods have created a trap, much like the tax code and other examples throughout the economy, which will be addressed in these individual's future lives, and addresses the goals the gods have laid out for the peasantry.
These are FINE examples of the steps the gods took to ensure a sufficiently deceptive enviornment as people began to hear telepathically AND understand wisdom in this modern era, albeit at a slow, learning curve rate. For those who would listen I was used to assist people to rapidly increase their understanding of this system. Unfortunate for me, the gods can claim they never intended this,despite being the control freaks who guide everything specifically, and now they are free to fuck my brains out subsequently. Lucky me.

Considering people's reaction to what I teach, what do you think of someone who would be sanctioned by the gods, permitting this event and the so-called "miracles" associated, and would create the exitement among the people which the Bible said Jesus did?
Celebrity. Evil. Involved in distraction, dependance and the trade of Damnation.
Liberalism/conservatism of the latter 20th century wasn't the beginning of the deception the gods manufactured to ensure a highly temptative environment.

Jesus freaks.
This is a big sproblem with these Jesus freaks. They think the religious estabilishment, as well as their supplimental wickedness like poisoning their children, is sufficient to get them in to heaven, which occurrs at the end of their lives.
The best these people can hope for is colonist in the next planet Earth, and we still have lifetimes of temptations to go, any of which they could fall for temptation andbegin the process which starts their legacy of sexual deviacy, immoral behaviors or substance abuse.
Did the gods pitch revenge for the destruction of Temple to Jew elders, Rabbis who were unaware the gods intended to spread xtainity to Europe, for which the Jews paid with the Holocaust?
I liked it so much and very interesting, too! Thanks for sharing the experience.

Your post is very truthful and honest, I appreciate that, I hope He'll bring rain everywhere where there is drought, will bring calm where there is strife and will change our lives for the better. I guess we should all be buying runescape 3 gold now and donating to poor noobs who need it so much more than us.
