Is it crazy out there or what?! .. It seems the world has flipped totally upside down in just the past few months! .. Everyone I’ve communicated with recently are all feeling the same .. that everything isn’t even recognizable anymore! .. Simply, there is a darkness all around us & many are falling into moods of depression, anxiety, & total uneasiness as to where it’s all heading ..
Now because of this prevailing world ‘condition’, many folks are turning to prayer looking for any & all possible answers to try & alleviate their growing anxiety …. Soooooo, I thought that just maybe, this would be a good time to send out a message of humor in these trying times .. I pray God has a sense of humor because I’m already in the running for a back pew position in Heaven .. But the world needs to smile at least just a little right now .. So, it’s worth the risk …..
As previously mentioned, many folks are searching for any & all answers to where this all might be going .. & as a result, the prayers being sent to Heaven have increased exponentially! .. I mean, It would seem that it may be overwhelming even up there right now! .. Soooooooo (again), what if Heaven had to install an answering service just to be sure not to miss any & all calls of people’s requests .. If this were to take place, maybe this is what it would look like ………….
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(Imagine praying & hearing this)
“Thank you for calling My Father’s House .. Please select one of the following options:
-Press1 for Requests ..
-Press 2 for Thanksgiving ..
-Press 3 for Complaints ..
-Press 4 for All Other Inquiries” ..
(What if God used the familiar excuse)
“I’m sorry, all of our angels are busy helping other sinners right now .. However, your prayer is important to us & will be answered in the order it was received .. So please stay on the line” ..
(Can you imagine getting these responses as you call God in prayer?)
“If you would like to speak to:
*Gabriel – Press 1
*Michael – Press 2
*For a directory of other angels – Press 3
*If you’d like to hear King David sing a Psalm while you are holding – Press 4
*To find out if a loved one has been assigned to Heaven – Press 5, enter his or her Social Security
Number, then press the pound key (If you get a negative response, try area code 666)
*For reservations at “My Father’s House”, please enter J-O-H-N followed by 3-1-6
What if you heard .. “Our computers show that you have already prayed once today .. Please hang up & ty again tomorrow”..
(Or)
“This office is closed for the weekend to observe a religious holiday .. Please pray again Monday after 9:30 AM .. If you need emergency assistance when this office is closed, contact your local Pastor” ..
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, but I at least have to try & make a few of you smile! .. & thank our Great God that this type of ‘human’ system will NEVER be a part of God’s overall plan .. He will never be too overwhelmed to answer each & every one of our prayers & requests, even more than one a day! ..
There is no question that the ‘birth pains’ prophesied by Jesus Himself in Matthew 24:8 are taking place all around us, & that there is no question that these ‘pains’ are exploding as they enter their final stages .. Simply, our Lord’s return is just MOMENTS AWAY!!! .. My prayer for each of you is that you DO pray to God in these darkening times .. Trust me when I say, you WILL NOT hear an answering service! .. He IS listening, & I can assure you that soon, all our prayers will be answered when we enter into His glorious presence! .. Hallelujah! ..
Try & keep smiling .. most all who don’t know of the soon-coming hope needs it now more than ever! …. I pray blessings & peace for each of you …… and ……..
Until next time,
