Genesis Chapter 3

Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, 'Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?' The woman answered the snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death." ' Then the snake said to the woman, 'No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.' The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.

The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. 'Where are you?' he asked. 'I heard the sound of you in the garden,' he replied. 'I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.' 'Who told you that you were naked?' he asked. 'Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?' The man replied, 'It was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.' Then Yahweh God said to the woman, 'Why did you do that?' The woman replied, 'The snake tempted me and I ate.'

Then Yahweh God said to the snake, 'Because you have done this,

    Accursed be you
    of all animals wild and tame!
    On your belly you will go
    and on dust you will feed
    as long as you live.
    I shall put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and hers;
    it will bruise your head
    and you will strike its heel.'

    To the woman he said:

    I shall give you intense pain
        in childbearing,
    you will give birth to your children
        in pain.
    Your yearning will be for your husband,
    and he will dominate you.

To the man he said, 'Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,

    Accursed be the soil because of you!
    Painfully will you get your food from it
    as long as you live.
    It will yield you brambles and thistles,
    as you eat the produce of the land.
    By the sweat of your face

    will you earn you food,
    until you return to the ground,
    as you were taken from it.
    For dust you are
    and to dust you shall return.

The man named his wife 'Eve' because she was the mother of all those who live. Yahweh God made tunics of skins for the man and his wife and clothed them. Then Yahweh God said, 'Now that the man has become like one of us in knowing good from evil, he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and pick from the tree of life too, and eat and live for ever!' So Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he had been taken. He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden he posted the great winged creatures and the fiery flashing sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.

Messenger:            We have weaknesses toward sin because of
                            original sin.

                                God is all perfect.

                                God gives us the sacrament of baptism
                            but we still have weaknesses toward sin.

                                The devil tries to use our weaknesses to
                            get in a door.

Jesus speaks:        What stops My work from being done
                            is: disobedience
                                people being pressed on by the devil
                                    and giving in.

                            If a person gives into the devil and fails
                                to recognize old patterned behaviors
                                that are sinful, against God's will
the
                                devil advances in subtle ways at the
                                pace he can to try to steel more and more of
                                the person's commitment to be a
                                soldier in God's army.

                            Making a commitment and saying one is
                            sorry in confession means that they are
                            suppose to improve, avoid the near
                            occasions of sin.

                                People in dysfunctional relationships
                            try to force others, sometimes, to engage
                            in co-dependent behavior. One can
                            readily see a husband who is an
                            alcoholic or a drug addicted son
                            that tries to make their wife, mother, respectively,
                            responsible for their bad problem, while
                            they continue drinking/using. The wife
                            or mother's life is centered on the unpredictable
                            behavior of the alcoholic
i.e. in an
                            advanced stage she thinks "he needs me"
                            "he could fall down the steps drunk",
                            "he could have an accident"
all the
                            children (when there is a husband/wife
                            problem) also become sick
she may
                            keep them quiet not to disturb dad

                            All do a dysfunctional dance

                            Co-dependent behavior can occur
                                in any relationships where one is
                                dysfunctional dependent on the other
                                i.e. mother/son, mother/daughter, where
                                daughter and sons are adults and able
                                people or where parents are able people
                                and they are made co-dependent needlessly.
                                Sometimes people unrelated engage in
                                co-dependent behaviors or for example
                                mother/son, daughter/father, that is
                                dysfunctional and they are not even related.
                                Such relationships can disempower people
                                where without the relationship they
                                would be capable and empowered
                                in their lives.                               

                                But what about a person who
                            has lived alone, that uses passive/
                            aggressive behavior on mother or
                            anyone who has to work with them
                            and they try to get away with it

                                Trying to force the other into acting out
                            their ways by provoking the other over
                            and over again
because they are
                            dysfunctional handling their own
                            deep-seated pain.

                                It is sad to watch people's lives
                            deteriorate when you are so richly
                            blessed and the sick co-dependent
                            gets sicker and the dance in the
                            system is like one dancing to a
                            disharmonious symphony.

                                My symphony plays the harmony
                            of life, that is how you were
                            meant to live by the Father

                                But since Adam and Eve people teach
                            and teach erratic ways of relating many times
                            and I showed you the way

                                Obedience to God's will
                                Anything else brings disharmony and
                                    sadness for all.

                                A lady wore one shoe to Church and
                            her pastor said
"Where is your other
                            shoe" she said, "My Mother always
                            wore one shoe so I do too"

                                If you could see how you wear
                            one shoe before My eyes and do not
                            know it and when those who
                            wanted intimacy with you shouted
                            "you have on one shoe"
                            you became arrogant and went to
                            live alone
rather than recognize
                            that your nature is wounded and
                            you act incorrectly. People
                            sin, they have the weakness from
                            original sin and they disobey
                            God's laws and sin.

                                But your world today says
                            "Oh you are perfect
don't
                            let anyone know otherwise"
                            And so you are stuck like a
                            woman sticking her head under the
                            front of an open car and closing
                            the hood. But she should not
                            act like anything is wrong with
                            her as her bottom hangs out and
                            she muffles a little sigh.

                                You are sinners. You have
                            fallen, many of you, into satan's
                            traps and when he attacks those
                            in religious life they may say

                            "oh I am perfect, obedience is
                            taboo" and not even recognized
                            satan's attacks like the woman
                            hanging out from under the hood
                            of the car.

                                Satan comes opens the hood tells
                            you to look and the car is yours

                            you look and he lures you so much
                            under the hood you close the
                            hood on yourselves and then
                            deny you were attacked.

                                You blame others when your
                            hands are in the cookie jar and
                            you lie to yourselves, your
                            superior, whoever... because to
                            many of you, your god has become
                            proving to the world YOU ARE
                            SINLESS.

                                You don't fool Me and you hurt
                            yourselves and all others when you
                            sin. It is because of pride and
                            lies to yourselves and others you
                            stay stuck and block My work,

                                A lady had a horn blowing in
                            her ear and she learned to put
                            up with it.

                                My commandments shout out
                            as horns blowing in your ears and
                            you disobey them and you silence
                            your consciences.

                                Satan tells you lies about
                            yourself and you listen and give in.

                                Satan works on people's emotions
                            then they act like someone with
                            googley eyes, sort of hypnotized,
not even
                            realizing the Plan of salvation is at
                            hand.

                                If one continues to sin habitually
                            they go deeper and deeper into darkness.

 

Excerpt from January 16, 2006

                                Here is a story a priest told —

                                A frog will jump in a boiling
                            pan of water and jump right
                            out because of the heat.

                                But frogs love warm water
                            and he will jump in and stay
                            and if the warm water is turned
                            up gradually to boiling — the
                            frog will not notice it —
                            stay in the water and he will
                            die.

Jesus speaks:          Freedom is found in the truth.

                                When one has sinned and lies
                                    about it they can be on
                                    a road to greater and
                                    worse sins
it opens a
                                    door to the distorted truth
                                    they have now adapted

                                    to prove they are never wrong.

   

1 John 1: 8-10 - 2: 1-2

If we say, ‘We have no sin,’
we are deceiving ourselves,
and truth has no place in us;
if we acknowledge our sins,
he is trustworthy and upright,
so that he will forgive our sins
and will cleanse us from all evil.
If we say, ‘We have never sinned,’
we make him a liar,
and his word has no place in us.

My children, I am writing this
    to prevent you from sinning;
but if anyone does sin,
we have an advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ, the upright.
He is the sacrifice to expiate our sins,
and not only ours,
but also those of the whole world.

                            how is it done.

                        It is done secretly.

                        Stealing is wrong.

                        Lying is wrong.

                        Looking lustfully on another is wrong.

                        Jealousy blocking God's will is
                                wrong.

                        Anger hurting others unrelented
                                is wrong.

                        Ways of acting that are
                            wrong are passed on from
                            generations to generations

 

Exodus 34: 6-7

Then Yahweh passed before him and called out, ‘Yahweh, Yahweh, God of tenderness and compassion, slow to anger, rich in faithful love and constancy, maintaining his faithful love to thousands, forgiving fault, crime and sin, yet letting nothing go unchecked, and punishing the parent’s fault in the children and in the grandchildren to the third and fourth generation!’

    

Excerpt from NOW IS THE TIME by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

47. The Human Condition

        The Word became flesh
        and made his dwelling among us . . .
(Jn 1:14)

    Sometimes we are tempted to think that the best way to be a good Christian would be to withdraw as much as possible from earthly concerns. We think how peaceful it would be to be alone with God in our own kind of hermitage, as it were, and let the world with all its worries, anxieties, and temptations pass us by. In moments of clearer thinking, however, we realize this is a dreamy kind of thinking, unrealistic thinking, thinking which does not correspond to the plan of Christic redemption.

    Jesus, as man, redeemed us within the framework of the human condition. Jesus' human enfleshment placed him within the world of men, and he accepted the full implications of his being human. He did not deny his humanity; he rather lived it to the full. He lived a full human life not only when it was pleasant to do so; he also lived human existence perfectly when this meant being rejected, laughed at, spat upon, crowned with thorns, scourged, nailed to a cross in excruciating agony.

    All his human acts helped redeem us. His teaching, his relationships with Mary and Joseph and others, his taking meals with friends, his gathering the little children in warm embrace, his healing of the sick, his thrilling to nature's beauty, the sufferings of his passionthese and all the rest of his human acts redeemed us.

   As Jesus objectively redeemed us within the framework of the human condition, so in like manner we subjectively participate in redemption. We receive the life Jesus came to give, and mature in this life, by living the human according to God's will. We are saved, not by fleeing the human, but by embracing it according to God's plan. Whether a person is a layman involved most intensely with the secular city, or a Trappist monk within monastery walls, that person is Christian by living the human in a graced manner, or he is not Christian at all.

    As did Jesus before us, we also have to accept the bitter with the sweet. We cannot accept the human condition only at those times when life rewards us with intense joy, success, enthusiasm, and the beauty and tenderness of deep love. When we experience failure or misunderstanding, when we taste the bitterness of human existence, when life seems all too much for us, when anguish and intense suffering make even one day seem endless, at these times also we have to affirm our being human. In this way we are saved; in this way we help others to be saved; in this way we follow Jesus, who always accepted his state of being human in the fullest possible manner.

  

1 Corinthians 15: 20-28

    In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first–fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first–fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

   

1 John 4: 1  

My dear friends,
not every spirit is to be trusted,
but test the spirits

for many false prophets

Messenger:        St. Ignatius has his discernment
                                of spirits.

                            (1)  We can get thoughts from our
                                        own mind.

                            (2)  The devil can tell us things
                                        some people even hear voices.

                            (3)  The Holy Spirit can inspire
                                        us.

                            Discernment of Spirits is crucial.

                            Many act like a leaf in the
                                wind
if they start
                                to feel sad
they act
                                out and begin punishing
                                someone else

                            A person was pressed on so much
                                by the devil they heard
                                voices from the devil,
                                said they were from God

                                then charged others responsible
                                for their voices and
                                threatened to burn down their
                                building and do something
                                to the people threatening
                                their lives
if the voices
                                in their head didn't
                                stop.

                            They had slipped out of real,
                                reality to a place so
                                bizarre they were acting
                                out because of the voices in their
                                head.

                            You think this is sick.

                            Those assassinating a figure
                                in office - think
                                this way
they think
                                they are a hero many
                                times. I realized this
                                from a play I watched
                                on assassins.

                            If we do not discern the spirits
                                if we think we are right

                                if we innocently hurt others when
                                we feel bad
it
                                is wrong.

                                The virtue of justice bids
                            us to give to others what is
                            their do.

 

Romans 1: 18-32 

The retribution of God from heaven is being revealed against the ungodliness and injustice of human beings who in their injustice hold back the truth. For what can be known about God is perfectly plain to them, since God has made it plain to them: ever since the creation of the world, the invisible existence of God and his everlasting power have been clearly seen by the mind’s understanding of created things. And so these people have no excuse: they knew God and yet they did not honour him as God or give thanks to him, but their arguments became futile and their uncomprehending minds were darkened. While they claimed to be wise, in fact they were growing so stupid that they exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an imitation,  for the image of a mortal human being, or of birds, or animals, or crawling things. 

    That is why God abandoned them in their inmost cravings to filthy practices of dishonouring their own bodies— because they exchanged God’s truth for a lie and have worshipped and served the creature instead of the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

    That is why God abandoned them to degrading passions: why their women have exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural practices; and the men, in a similar fashion, too, giving up normal relations with women, are consumed with passion for each other, men doing shameful things with men and receiving in themselves due reward for their perversion.

    In other words, since they would not consent to acknowledge God, God abandoned them to their unacceptable thoughts and indecent behaviour. And so now they are steeped in all sorts of injustice, rottenness, greed and malice; full of envy, murder, wrangling, treachery and spite, libellers, slanderers, enemies of God, rude, arrogant and boastful, enterprising in evil, rebellious to parents, without brains, honour, love or pity. They are well aware of God’s ordinance: that those who behave like this deserve to die—yet they not only do it, but even applaud others who do the same.

Messenger:             Into such a depraved condition
                            of mankind Christ entered, with
                            a full and generous heart, to
                            lead men from the depths of his
                            sinfulness to the vibrant riches
                            of a new life in Himself.
                            This Christ had become through
                            His enfleshment the focal point
                            of all history. All the authentic
                            hopes and dreams of all ages, now
                            overshadowed so deeply by the
                            ugliness of sin, came converging
                            upon this Christ. He would
                            gather them up in Himself, give
                            them a new luster and brilliance
                            and dynamism, and would
                            lead the renewed human race
                            back to the Father in the Spirit.

                                Christ came, then, for a
                            double purpose, or rather for a
                            single purpose with two facets.
                            He was radically to release us
                            from the dominion of sin and to
                            elevate us to a new level of
                            existence.

                                We are to love each other.

Jesus speaks:        To be in this Movement and
                            not be loving, loving Me and
                            each other is to not work for
                            the reason it exists.

                                Satan comes in lethargy,
                            selfishness
this self-focus
                            does not improve
if all one
                            thinks of is themselves, they will
                            not grow if they continue to 
                            live a certain way.

                                Satan wants to take you
                            down and down and down

                                Live to become more pure
                                    not more dark

 

                            Mary's call to conversion is for
                                world peace. Ignoring Our Lady
                                of Clearwater and her wishes as
                                Our Lady of Fatima in the
                                Americas is not going to help us.

                                We must overcome our
                            sinful ways with loving

                                We must seek for holiness.
                            Living the Consecration to the
                            Hearts of Jesus and Mary is
                            a way we live more deeply
                            our commitment in baptism.

Jesus speaks:          Mary's face is gentle
                                Mary's love is kind

                            Mary served as the perfect
                                handmaid of the Lord.

Messenger:        Jesus' Heart is a symbol
                                of His love.

                            Mary's Heart is a symbol
                                of Her love.

                            The Age of the Two Hearts is
                                to be an age in which
                                men are deeply united
                                in love, living in oneness
                                in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

   

 John 3: 16

For this is how God loved the world: 
he gave his only Son, 
so that everyone who believes in him 
    may not perish 
but may have eternal life.

Messenger:            To be like Christ is to love.
                                To be like Christ is to serve.

Jesus speaks:      I shed tears of blood for those
                                who profess to be holy, but
                                are cold, selfish and very
                                unloving.

                            My messages I deliver for all
                                the souls of the earth.

                                Men blocked My Blue Books
                            for 12 and 11 years. They
                            were focused on themselves,
                            I tell you, I am God

                            I want you to help Me and
                            circulate My letters of love to
                            the hurting souls.

                                Make light of My site
                            in Florida and My face
                            is there
if you see cars
                            and miss My face, you are
                            like the woman with one
                            shoe. She is so blind she
                            doesn't know it.

                                The devil attacks commitment,
                            He tells you to not be faithful
                            to your vocation and you listen

                            The devil says "You deserve to do nothing

                                it won't matter."

   

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary speaks:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

Jesus speaks:      I cry bloody tears to you.

                            Souls are at stake.

                            Don't give into pride.

                            You are here to be growing
                                in your holiness.

                            Being childish at an old age
                                ignoring what God wants
                                you to do is wasting your
                                precious time here.

  

Promises of Our Lord to those devoted to His Sacred Heart: 

  1. I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
  2. I will establish peace in their homes.
  3. I will comfort them in all their afflictions.
  4. I will be their refuge during life and above all in death.
  5. I will bestow a large blessing on all their undertakings.
  6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy.
  7. Tepid souls shall grow fervent.
  8. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.
  9. I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and honored.
  10. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
  11. Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.
  12. I promise you in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the first Friday in nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving their sacraments; My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.

Jesus speaks:      How can you have My Sacred Heart
                                all over and before you
                                constantly and give into
                                unloving ways
and then
                                tell yourself you are
                                right when you gave into
                                satan's attacks

 

Messenger:        I wish to discuss holiness in terms of consecration,
                                which we discussed in Part II of this book.
                                Let's recall some of the ideas discussed there.

                            Only God can make us holy, and, at Baptism,
                                He initiates us into the life of holiness. He
                                objectively consecrates us-makes us holy-by
                                giving us a participation in His own holiness.
                                This participation in God's holiness is our life
                                of sanctifying grace. In a response of love, we
                                are called to say "yes" to this objective consecration.
                                This "yes" is our act of subjective consecration.
                                This "yes" is our allowing Christ to take us to the
                                Father, in the Holy Spirit, with Mary, our Mother,
                                at our side.

                            God consecrates us in Baptism through the mediation
                                of Christ. Our baptismal consecration is actually a
                                share in Christ's own consecration.

                            Our Lady of Medjugorje's call to a life of holiness is a
                                call to consecration to the Heart of Jesus and to her
                                own Immaculate Heart. It is a carryover of her requests
                                at Fatima. Growth in the life of holiness is growth in
                                our life of consecration, and the messages of Mary at
                                Medjugorje teach us what is involved in this life of
                                holiness. They teach us how to grow in our life of
                                consecration. They teach us how to say "yes" each
                                day of our lives to what the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
                                ask of us.

                            In Baptism, we are initially consecrated to the Father, Son,
                                and Holy Spirit. So our life of consecration to the Heart
                                of Christ is also a Trinitarian Consecration.

    

Messenger:            Mary, the Mother of Christ, knows
                            that we cannot go to the Father
                            without Jesus. Jesus Himself told
                            us as much.

  

John 14: 6-7

Jesus said: 

        I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. 
    No one can come to the Father 
        except through me. 
    If you know me, 
        you will know my Father too. 
    From this moment you know him 
        and have seen him. 

 

April 30, 2006 message continues

Messenger:         Mary loves Jesus

                            Mary appeared in Clearwater to
                                lead us to Jesus.

                            Mary, as always, cooperates
                                with the Holy Spirit in our ever
                                greater assimilation to Jesus.
                                This assimilation, this transformation
                                stems from Mary's Immaculate
                                Heart. As Jesus was born of Mary
                                by the power of the Holy Spirit, so we are
                                continually being born of Mary
                                in the Holy Spirit, into a greater likeness
                                of Christ.

    

Excerpt from Tell My People

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

April 30, 2006 message continues

Messenger:             Mary knows very well that if
                                we are to grow in the likeness
                                of Christ, we must abandon
                                ourselves to the Holy Spirit.

                                Mary herself has a most perfect
                            relationship with the Persons of the
                            Trinity. She is daughter of the
                            Father, Mother of the Son, and
                            Spouse of the Holy Spirit. As
                            our spiritual Mother, she longs
                            for us to grow in our own
                            relationships with the Divine
                            Persons. We should always pray
                            for the grace to fulfill her maternal
                            wish. She has repeated it to us
                            so many times
now, again,
                                in these most urgent times.

                            In Mary's and Jesus' school for
                            holiness they tell us we
                            must live according to the
                            Father's will

                            Living in Their Hearts will
                                help us live according to
                                the Father's will

                            What does it mean to display
                            Jesus and Mary's Heart and be unloving.

                            What does it mean to read the commandments
                                daily and disobey them ourselves?

                            What does it mean to tell others about
                                God's will and selfishly give into
                                isolation when we should
                                be working with others
                                on a job

 

                            What does it mean to provoke others
                        so they leave, so we can be isolated?

 

                                A man wanted to be alone and
                             do what he wanted so he provoked
                             all around him to leave
the others who
                             needed to stay and do God's work

                             but he became so ugly they
                             had to leave to protect
                             themselves.

                                How often does satan
                            work on certain individuals
                            who like to be alone, provoke
                            fights, arguments to do what
                            they want and be alone when
                            they have a job to do.

                                If they are alone, they can
                            do what they want.
