What a year we’ve just gone through! … There is absolutely no question this world is rapidly careening toward disaster. .. Just glancing back even a couple of years, most of us would never have imagined things could continue to accelerate at the pace that we’ve witnessed. .. And sadly, the coming year of 2017 doesn’t appear that it will fair any better. ..

With that in mind, I felt that I wanted to close out 2016 with something that will hopefully bring a smile to your faces .. something light instead of all the heaviness. .. So hear goes …..

Just imagine for a minute that God had to ‘adjust’ his domain somewhat, what with all the chaos Satan is throwing at us in his final moments. .. Quite simply the ‘forces for good’ are so busy reaching out to those under attack that some automation was needed to handle all the ‘prayer traffic.’  ..

We’ve all learned to live with ‘voice mail’ as a necessary part of modern life. .. But, what if God decided to install His own voice mail? .. Imagine praying & hearing this …..

—————————————————————————————————————-

“Thank you for calling my Father’s house. .. Please select one of the following options:

   -Press 1 for requests ..

   -Press 2 for thanksgiving ..

   -Press 3 for complaints ..

   -Press 4 for other inquiries ..

What if you heard the familiar excuse .. “I’m sorry, all of our angels are busy helping other sinners right now. .. However, your prayer is very important to us and it will be answered in the order it was received, so please stay on the line.’ …

Or can you imagine getting these responses as you call out 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 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 & try again later.”

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.”

—————————————————————————————————————–

Thank God! – He will NEVER have ‘voice mail’ and He will ALWAYS listen when we pray! .. God always answers ‘knee-mail’ …… Amen! …

For each of you who have shared in our ministry here at ‘Light in The Darkness,’ Victor & I want to thank you & wish each of you a blessed & enlightened year to come. .. Our prayer for 2017 is that God will use this website & each of us personally to advance the message of Jesus Christ to those who do not know Him. ..

I personally believe that the Lord is returning for His Church at any moment and feel an urgency to tell as many as possible of His saving grave & promise of eternal life. .. I pray you will join with me in this urgency & help shine the “Light in The Darkness” … Back at you next year! …

Until next time,

Red

PS .. I truly hope God has a sense of humor, or I am in real trouble!
