I find it so weird that we’re over a year into the pandemic, and they still don’t have any good medicine for us to take, even if they spent any cash properly. I once heard that U.S. healthcare was only a billion-dollar industry but the Australia’s was like a trillion bucks. I find it weird that the U.S. isn’t learning anything from the Holy Spirit here. And there’s not even a bogus tech thing in Australia right now… but whatever. I thank God for three things: 1. My firstborn niece, Bee, got her tonsils out and the surgery was a complete success! (She’s only three years old; I hope you remember this…) 2. I got my stimulus check and a car this week! Now I can use DoorDash to make tons of deliveries left and right and maybe even generate a killer revenue, if God wills. 3. I don’t believe we need to experience delays… but the banks held me in suspense for way too long. I was actually praying that God would bankrupt everything… and even with having over $2,100 earlier today when I got paid for last week’s shifts, I’m not convinced the delays will EVER end. Those things are the epitome of offence, and I honestly think God’s authority is missing where delays are found, even with any disciples around. Still, this passage is found in page 36 of my NKJV Bible, pages 46-47 of my NASB Bible, page 81 of my VOICE copy, and page 78 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
I wish the Holy Spirit was present enough to make it so that delays weren’t anywhere to be found, for even as I got my car I was waiting much longer than I had to because someone came over to Josh’s house (he’s the guy I bought the car from, and we’ve been friends since October 2014), and I mentioned to him that I don’t think this happened by coincidence, and patience shouldn’t ever be used as a soul-destroying weapon. For why would God eliminate the soul of a human being even if they’ve rejected Him? And I can already hear the arrogant comments: “Ron, patience is a fruit of the Spirit. It’s not only necessary for life, but something to be encouraged because there will never be enough miracles in this world, even from God.” Honestly, they might be right! Miracles will indeed be stopped more often because of them! The reason I took the DoorDash thing is not just to provide for my nieces and to pay off my debts. I also need to deliver food and water (and sometimes a sports drink) to those without a place to live. Unfortunately, I can’t do that and DoorDash at the same time while I’m logged on. Still, I can drive throughout town and give life-saving aid to others, including those who are coming from Mexico to search for a better life here. I gotta work on my espaΓ±ol more…
I’m not sure if this is what the Israelites were thinking, but they had become so accustomed to the idolatry around them that they thought little of it, and I honestly think it’s getting harder to avoid, especially in ways like that golden statue of Donald Trump someone made to be worshiped. I want to destroy it! It’s a cursed object! And if someone wants to shut me down because I make this anti-idolatry statement (for God wants all or nothing; see 1 Corinthians 10:22), well, that’s on them. And yes, cursed objects are real, as Moses said in Deuteronomy many times. We’re not there in this round of Bible notes yet, but anticipate a lot of DoorDash for the time being… unless I somehow get disqualified from there like I had done in Postmates in 2018 when it got hot and I was riding a bike… Arizona has some brutal summers, let me tell you… I don’t think there’s any shortage of traps that are guaranteed to do me in, actually… and many people deny we even have an enemy, but his name is the former archangel of music. Today, he’s known to many by another name, and I need to remind all of us (including me) of this: every day, every hour, maybe even right now, dark forces try and raze the good and make it nothing more but a memory. And in the end, their greatest threat… is you. That’s something to think about. And yes, I just alluded to a Dumbledore speech in the sixth Harry Potter book/movie ππππππππ
So on that note, do you want me to pray for anything you’re concerned about? I know I need to write on my notebook of things to be thankful for (I think I need to update this): “Read this next time I’m freaking out…” indeed, even now, my first delivery will likely be my only one because of demonic traps, so I pray DoorDash goes well, and so does everything else in my car, and with other things I use to travel… but you can write to me any request on ron.outland4727@gmail.com so I can respond! I’ll see you soon with the seventh plague note. Ciao!
