Behold ...one day ..as i was bring my complaints before God and Christ ...for i thought myself to be living poorly ...and running "short" of money to pay the bills ...round about $ 300 each month ...

     and i thought said i ..i do not live a high and mighty ...yet rent a plain and simple house ...drive and old truck ...eat sparingly ...and buy not fancy clothes or any other things ...and this "simple life" has been going on for years ...

     Yet seems we make it through each month ...(by the hand and Grace of God through Jesus ) ...

     Nevertheless seems every month we are farther and farther behind ...and so i brought these measures of matter before God ...as though to ask why ? are "things the "way" they are ...and why so am i living so simply ...Yet going into more and more debt ...every month ...

     Even so i knew that the world does rob ...every day and every way that any can devise ...to take another penny or nickel ...so they make it that way ...and cost of "living" goes up ...and up ....

     and the more i know that this "whatever the market will bear" ...is just another way of saying "we will rob them till they die" ...

     Now came again the ministering spirit who had been sent to me before ...when my goods were "spoiled: and all "things" taken away form me" ...for mine own good sake ...least i stay in the lust of the flesh ...lust of the eye ...and the pride of goods ...and i rejoice now to be free of such eveil ...yet back then i complained the worse ...and murmured the worse ...

     Nevertheless the ministering spirit ...came then and "busted me" and now again came ...for to show the measures of matters ...

     For i was sitting ...and a wondering ...over these measures of matters ...of going the more in debt every month ...

     and the came to me again the voice of this ministering spirit ...and said "how do you live? " how many servants do you need ? ...and i was astounded ! for i knew not what he meant ...

     and then he said the more: " do you cut wood to heat your house? i said no ...then said he how many servants would you need to chop the trees and prepare the wood and keep the fires for your house ? and i said many ...

     and then he said the more: " do you draw the water for your house? i said no ...then said he how many servants would you need to draw the water for your house? to bring the water to cool so you can drink or hot for you to wash and bathe ? for your house ? and i said many ...

     and then he said the more: " do you keep the lights within your house a glowing ? i said no ...then said he how many servants would you need to keep the lights within your house a glowing ? to get the oil and to keep the lamps ...to start the lamps and to put them out ...for your house ? and i said many ...

     and then he said the more: " do you plant a garden and reap the food thereof ....and prepare it for the keeping of your house ? even foods from a far off that no way you might have least you went to get them ...in other lands ... i said no ...then said he how many servants would you need to plant and tend and reap a garden ...and then to go afar off to bring you delicate foods from other lands ..for your house ? and i said many ...

     and then he said the more: " do you keep yourself cool in the heat of the day in the season of the sun ...i said yes ...am kept cool of a devise of man called an air conditioner...then said he is it much work for you to have the cool comfort even in the hottest of times ...for to cool your house? i said no ...then said he how many servants would you need to keep you cool ...to fan you any where you are in your house and to bring up air from the cooler parts of the earth ? and i said many ...

     and then he said the more: " do you keep the horses and the reins and the caring thereof ...for you chariot ...that you have ...at your house? i said no ...then said he how many servants would you need to keep the horses and the reins and the caring thereof ...for your chariot ...that you have ... for your house ? and i said many ...

     and then he said the more: " do you run to speak kindred afar off ...to talk and to measure matters with those you might ...do you run to speak to any ...or walk a far to visit ...from your house? i said no ...then said he how many servants would you need to run to carry messages for you ...for you to speak kindred afar off ...and bring again to you ..measure matters of those with whom you might ...how many runners would you need ...to speak to any ...or to walk afar off to carry invitations ...for your house ? and i said many ...

     and then he said the more: " do you make your own clothes and shoes and things to cover and keep yourself ? i said no ...then said he how many servants would you need to make your own clothes and shoes and things to cover and keep yourself... for your house ? and i said many ...

     and i prayed of heart and mind and truth ...laying all before God and Jesus ...for it is true a 1000 servants would be needed for me to live the way i do ...

     and against my own self i bear this witness ...for still spoiled ...might i be ...and pray for forgiveness and right heart and mind before God and Christ ...

     that Gods will be fullfilled ...and that of his will being fullfilled ...i might have joy ...
