“And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.” John 9:39
WE KNOW THAT IT COMES BY HEARING THE WORD OF GOD. (ROMANS 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.) Can you put your faith in blindness or deception? His house will be called a house of prayer and not a den of thieves. Does it take faith to understand that money is men’s god and is a demonic enmity to Christ our lord. Open your eyes and ears. In becomes in vain as it seems to try and shed light on what others perceive as light but they are in darkness. That’s what ends up happening when somebody refuses to see.
Evil exists because sin exists. Whom is YOUR master? Eve disobeyed GOD! What about YOU?
Do they truly see what he (@)
2 Thessalonians 2:3
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;”
King James Version (KJV)
Falling away first
Is the falling away before us in anyway at all? Do we see in the news and then society a falling away of morals and principles as taught by God in the holy Scriptures? We see it in abundance. John 2:16 on top of that. Even Christians themselves can’t distinguish what is written in James 4:4. That’s because they’re accustomed to the world. The world surrounds them. It’s hard to get the world out of ones your life because the world promotes its self over Christ. He was the rejected suffering messiah. Even Christians themselves become hypocrites and then you can’t except the truth. You know the story (parable) about the wise virgins. I rest there.
This was in reply to David McMillen’s blog entitled “let God choose”
Ecclesiastes 3:8 “A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.” During trials and tribulations those who have been taught the prosperity gospel just want to keep prospering in material possessions. They can’t see the trees for the forest just like those who are deceived. If the blind lead the blind both will fall into a ditch.
What is the prosperity gospel?
“An aberrant theology that teaches God rewards faith—and hefty tithing—with financial blessings, the prosperity gospel was closely associated with prominent 1980s televangelists Jimmy Swaggart and Jim and Tammy Bakker, and is part and parcel of many of today’s charismatic movements in the Global South. Orthodox Christians wary of prosperity doctrine found a friend in Senator Chuck Grassley, who in 2008 began a thorough vetting of the tax-exempt status of six prominent “health and wealth” leaders, including Kenneth” Source (@)
Aberrant: Means : departing from an accepted standard.
John 2:16 kjv 16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
I am often reminded of John 10:10.
The prosperity gospel is not the gospel. And prosperity preachers are accountable to God. We can pray for such people or voice our opinions. But God is the one who will pass judgment. I think it’s a sad state of affairs and it really sheds a black light on Christ true gospel. And when we point things out as such it’s not to offend our brothers or even sisters in Christ. It’s true that a workman is worthy of his labor. Give to God what is God’s and give to Caesar what is Caesars. There’s nothing wrong with people asking God for things or for wanting good health or for praying for such. We call it the fruits of the spirit. Sometimes when you’re preaching a solid non-water down not Luke warm gospel it almost appears as if the fruits of the spirit are bad. They not! But the things many of us want are not the things that are necessities of life. Less is more. Some people are truly saved but they’ve been raised by the prosperity gospel and they see with the dim light. Not that they don’t have faith because I’ve seen some of them have great faith. But they don’t realize that even nonbelievers or atheist have an abundance of things. What men highly esteem is an abomination to God. Put your mind on things from above. 5:44 pm March 1, 2021

Ecclesiastes 3:8
“A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.”
King James Version (KJV)
James 2: 14-16 kjv
OK I originally answered this David and in sort of an analogy to what you said. You did talk about God seeing the whole picture. And the scripture you quoted it is incredible/intriguing isn’t it. Let God choose. That is wise. But he gave us “choices”. Christ didn’t choose for the rich young ruler. We have to make a choice. As written let your yes be yes and your no be no. Sometimes we rush into things. We have him to assist us as he is the comforter. We have to exercise patience. Did Jesus have patience? Yes of course. He was the unblemished lamb of God. And I know God extended grace which is wonderful. It’s true we have to be patient. But we should be content with less. The story I “wrote below” is true. We need to see in a way what we don’t see or perceive. Some people are blessed. Some people waste their life and waste time. Some people waste their youth. Some people are fortunate enough to turn to Christ and to get their souls saved. What is life without Christ? What is life without the truth? What is life if we are greedy and we only think of ourselves. You know bring forth fruit worthy of repentance. That doesn’t mean we’re going to be able to buy a friend a house or a car. You know as It is written in scripture that people will tell Christ they did many wonderful works and he will say he never knew them and to depart from him because they are workers of iniquity. They are lawless. Meanwhile we have born again Christians or so-called Christians that say doing any works would be works salvation. You don’t do the work to earn your salvation. those things men highly esteem or an abomination unto the lord.
Then how the word hope is used. With that word hope (desire) (expectation) sometimes people achieve exactly what they want. That’s because they may have what it takes and it also takes faith. But we could hope for something that is impossible today but not in the future. For instance if you don’t work in life you can’t hope for a paycheck. So it becomes redundant. People hope to win the lottery. Some people win and some people spend their money for years to come to no avail. Prayer is important. But who’s will are we doing? We may want things that are useless. May his will be done
Ever hear people say go for your dreams. Sometimes people achieve those dreams. But it might be wicked and an abomination to God. For instance take somebody like Elvis Presley or even Johnny Cash as they became world celebrities. Johnny Cash has a story where he ended up in prison for committing a great crime. But in the end it made him better and he appeared to stay with the same woman. He appeared to glorify Christ in his life. On the other hand Elvis Presley grew up as I believe a Baptist. He was a Bible believer David. He had a Great gifts. Some people call it the whole package. He was glorified by the world. Look what drugs did to him. Did you read about the autopsy of what they found in his system. Here was a Baptist Bible believing Christian. He knew what had happened to him. He knew that when they called him the king he was really not the king as it is Jesus Christ. I even heard him say once in an interview that Christ is the real king. You can’t serve two masters. It proves that the Lord is 100% correct. What about other people broke, dying of starvation in the world while in the western nations we are as greedy as wolves. Didn’t Jesus say to love your neighbour as yourself. Oh no it is works salvation. For the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom.
Bless the Lord for there is no one like him. You have a wonderful day David. And may God continue to bless you.

Wisdom speaks David. Wisdom is “justified” of her children.
note:
See I think the exiled people would’ve wanted to see the promised land. They would’ve hoped to seen it. What does it tell you after 400 years that the wicked heart could become hardened. Rebellion is as witchcraft.
Remember many people like the exiled Jews or slaves in Egypt waited 400 years until they were delivered. Or was it the 77 years in Babylon also. Still some revolted against Moses and they circled the desert until all those generations died out. Whom saw the promise land? You know David the word of GOD says those things highly praised by “men” (men & woman) are an abomination unto the lord. Some days many people swim in luxury and things that “men” highly praise. Even when we think of the word grace we can see that with a superficial vision. There are people dying in storms. There are people being massacred and persecuted . Read here There are people every day dying in car accidents or fires. There are people with extraordinary horrible diseases dying every day. There are babies being murdered in abortion mills around the world every day. There are people in pain that is excruciating in hospitals dying . What some people perceive as grace is something other people I mentioned to you ”perceive” as hell on earth. The world is a big place. The astonishing thing is that the eyes of the Lord are everywhere. No wonder Jesus said what reward have you if you only love those who love you only. We have to keep others in our prayers. We should exercise being a doer of the word of God.
Bring forth fruit worthy of repentance.
Have a blessed day David

John 10:10
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
King James Version (KJV)
I would like it noted that God’s Word says if people seek his face and turn to him he will heal their land. Repentance is key,
Romans 12:12
“ Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; ”
King James Version (KJV)
"The word repentance is sadly missing today from the average pulpit. It is a very unpopular word. The first sermon Jesus ever preached was ‘Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’" #BillyGraham
Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. Do you know who said that? Jack Benny
Evil exists because sin exists. If you don’t mind it does matter. Do you know who said that? The Lord Jesus Christ (repent or perish)

You must understand the depth of Satin. Now in this scripture I am going to have here the lord is talking about the Jewish pharisees but there are many charlatans in the world.
Matthew 23:15
King James Version
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. Many false prophets have gone out into the world. Many deceivers. 9:44 am

Now is the time I please with you to come to true Biblical salvation. Here’s a message from my brother in Christ Adam from Team Jesus Street Preachers. Reach for the lifeline. Turn away from sin. Get yourself Born Again and truly saved. (HERE) See how to PRAY (@)
Make not my fathers house a house of merchandise
Declare if thou hast understanding
Come out of her as don't share in her sins and plaques
Within they are full of extortion and excess
They shall say peace and safety then sudden destruction cometh upon them
