Dont start hiding your piggy bank....I am just razzing you.No sir. That ain't the bet. You pay with proof. We never said I had to pay in the absence of proof.

For the years I believed the Lord was of no use nor benefit to me, and those years in which I despised instruction or reproof at all against any of my will, preferring to live and be as one whose foolish heart was darkened thinking I would never be found out, even to that one, the Lord came.
He didn't come in the comfort I think I probably would have preferred at the time, nor in some form of weepy handholder muttering words about how I didn't deserve to be made so glum. He came instead in truth with a truth that if uttered apart from his manifest presence, there, with me, in a house I had emptied of any and all in whose love and comforts I had so previously assumed as my right, and by such harsh demand of right driven from me; had he done this by prophet or any instrument of lesser mercy to man, I have no wonder of the greater depths of shame upon shames end. But, mercy found me. Out.
It came to a man rolling around his empty house like a pea in a box being tilted in a child's hand with nothing of rest even in the dividing down of moments when caroming off its walls. And yet since, I have found much rest even within much smaller walls.
The words then were unbidden, as only God knows, no man had told me "listen for his voice in this, he will help you". No man or friend could have told me what to even listen for. But words came, as surely in that darkness from out of a darkness that pinned me perfectly in that night, but showed me I was surely not alone. I was being...seen.
And that remains, man is being seen. No matter what darkness he may embrace for cover. Nor seek to hide himself.
It is a Ponzy scheme or Pyramid scheme. Bernie Madoff painted a grand picture and told lavish stories about big promises if you just invest in what he is telling you. Lots of people bought into the sales pitch and were convinced to spread the word to their friends and to their friend's friends etc etc.Yeah. We know as well as they that a claim of hearing Jesus's voice is non verifiable. It just can't be proven. We know when we ask the question what the answer will be.
silence.
