We hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident
-- that all men (and women) are ... endowed by their Creator with... and on the founding fathers of the United States wrote, saying they deemed all humanity, without exception, to have been endowed by the Creator with myriad rights they described as unalienable.
They weren't wrong, but each human being comes into this world endowed with a lot more than a pocketful of rights. Each human being comes into this existence endowed with an enormous set of extraordinary abilities and are, in turn, persuaded and discouraged by evil, not only to never use or even try them, but also that they have nothing -- which is untrue. -- if they'd only realize!
But the Devil doesn't want that, because if they'd realize that God has sent each person into existence highly endowed with many abilities, then they'd start saying, "Hey, maybe there is somebody up there after all.".
Some of the many abilities you are endowed with are "economic" abilities. You each have the ability not only to prosper in spite of all the evil that would try to oppose you, but also the ability to help others around you to use gifts other than merely economic ones.
Now, we all are new at this and quite unused to such operations, but once accustomed to using abilities in reciprocal prayer and supply from God, also known as "faith", the success and miraculous flow of God's supply will ensue unless you go about it the wrong way such as being motivated by lust.
The Bible explains all the things that get in the way of faith. "Ye have not because ye ask not or that ye ask amiss that you may consume it upon your lusts."
Lust is a perfect example of something evil would use to keep you from discovering your abilities, and subsequently also growing in faith in the Living God. Lust is evil capitalizing on your fallen nature to be ignorant and to yearn for an inordinate appetite for something to the exclusion of other things you need -- perhaps more, perhaps even critically more than the element you became fixated upon.
Plus, it gives the Devil a chance to use one of his weapons, lying guilt. Lying guilt, as opposed to a sense of decent behavior, will get a person to do things he or she would never normally do, thus causing massive numbers of people to do the Devil's bidding, especially in this, our early 21st century "Litigant Age".
But once the Lord delivers you from all of that, you'll be able to find the strait gate and walk the narrow road to life, with the supplies flowing in a balanced way, so that all of your needs are supplied and applied, not just a few of the baser humanly understandable ones.
You all have incredible abilities. The unsaved and even the saved, won't be able to realize most of them because they're too poor to begin with; not rich in what really counts. Those not born-again are born partially, mostly it amounts to merely being born with a choice -- to live or not to live. Those who choose to live, get a new existence of real life. If they are going to remain in a lifelessness till their first death and subsequently, after judgment, second death -- "die again" -- they certainly cannot be trusted with the incredible abilities afforded to the everyday human being.
Were they to acquire these natural powers, they'd rip each other apart in the smallness of their tiny minds. Evil is trying to bring certain of the dead-again, nonbelievers to the realization of certain baser abilities, which they imagine to be acquired abilities of the Black Arts, instead of what they really are -- the gift of God.
So these and those born-again among the disobedient believers (who are all subject to the Devil's infiltrators) are all therefore, fitted with what might be labeled "structural restraints" so that they might be held at bay.
Remember that the Lord foretold their end the has the time in which, if God didn't intervene and put things to an end, as it were, no flesh would survive. This is the famous "end time" scenario from Matthew 24, in which the peoples of the World, under a false "Messiah", would be prospered in their witchcraft, and therefore overcome some of the basic structural restraints.
The destruction and desolation would be so rampant that, at a certain point, God intervenes and there is the end, since mankind can no longer believe in God because mankind will have gone beyond belief: They will all know God exists because He has at that point, intervened upon their pathetic debacle and therefore -- it's all over at that point.
At that point. Two 3-and-1/2 orbits of the Earth around the Sun, Sun-orbits of the earth, and then the second coming of Jesus, Who makes two Earth orbits (at almost the speed of light) around the earth, resurrecting all born-agains and taking them, and then (a while later) Armageddon, when a contingency returns to fight the Devil's armies.
But in the meantime (and no one knows how long that will be). If you can work with the Lord in an honest and good heart, in whatsoever state or condition or situation finding yourself, therewith being content, doing all things with contrition, without murmurings or disputations, then you, too, will have become a disciple of Jesus, whom He can usher to the higher positions of true riches, coming into the realization of the true powers of Man and the supernatural power of faith, and thereby entering the stature of a good and faithful servant of God and a resident of the Household of Faith in the full inheritance of The People of God.
