Text Box: with the eyes of faith given to us by God. Lack of faith can be compared to current agriculture practices where fish genes are implanted into corn, maize, to produce strains resistant to certain parasites, insects, and diseases. Corn is also having antibiotics implanted, so that people in poverty areas will have these antibiotics in their bodies. But these strains of corn pollinate in the air, and thus have infected pure strains of corn, so that in a very few years most all corn will have these altered genes. The same is true of soy beans, and of wheat. These three crops are amongst the most abundant food staples, and they are all being polluted and poisoned for those who do not desire or who are allergic to the altered crops. A deadly killer has been unleased on the planet, and it can not easily be removed. That is how lack of faith spreads. Some idiot decides he does not want to do what God has said to do. He has decided not to believe what God has said is true. He has decided not to be be what God desires. And so he creates his own faith based in sin, and mankind follows his sinful lead like pollen blown by the wind. But if we simply look at history, not just history of two thousand years ago, but even history of today, we see God, the true God, the Trinity which is God, in full operation, effecting everything and constantly proving His existence. How can we otherwise explain dead people regaining life; people who should have died, living; blind people whose cornea are so terribly scarred that they were blinded, now seeing even though their corneas remain scarred; people receiving the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, on certain feast days, and then having the wounds heal - all in plain sight of physicians and the very

Text Box: scientists who attempt to disprove what they have themselves observed; and a young lady named Mirna who has pure olive oil come out of her hands and face when she prays - and the olive oil leaves no stain on her clothing? It is shameful that such miracles are needed to sustain faith. We should pray for faith, so that it can be sustained without miracles - and that would be a miracle to possess. You have seen God operate in your life, in the good things which have happened to you and your families, and in weathering the hardships which have been placed in your path. Give God the credit which is due Him, so that you can continue to say with King David, “Ps. 85:1-2 Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor. Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.” Ref: Gal 5:25-26; 6:1-10; Luke 7:11-16 +

Text Box: WITHOUT GOD WE REALLY ARE POWERLESS A very wise prayer is, “By Thy grace, O almighty God, let our wicked propensities be cured and everlasting remedies be forthcoming.” It is a wise prayer, for it not only acknowledges our inability to be good on our own, but also acknowledges our inability to be anything, even to function, without God’s assistance. Those who think they understand God are as ignorant as the Pharisees who could not answer the question Our Lord posed, which, rephrased, is: Since the Christ is the son or descendant of David, how can David call the Christ, Lord, since David, being the Christ’s ancestor, the Christ would have to call David, Lord, and it would be inappropriate for David to call his own descendant, Lord. We knew, as did David, that the Christ is God; that He is the eternally begotten Son of God; that He is the Word. We also know what David was unable to know for “it” happened after his time; that the Christ is Jesus Christ, the Son of Mary, begotten of the Ever Virgin by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. The Pharisees did not know this either, and if they had known it, they would not have appreciated it for they viewed God more as a super strong and powerful human rather than as a being completely different from anything within human experience and human ability to comprehend. This misconception as to the reality of God, as to what God really is, is very common. This misconception consistently leads to a lack of respect or a lack of proper respect for God and of God. When we pay the lip service of saying God created us, do we really realize that means God created everything and keeps everything in existence? Do we realize it means God gives humans and angels the ability to think; provides animals with that which makes them hungry and induces them to eat and
