Art in the lion’s den

If they did it to Barack, MLK and all the others, what makes you think...

What makes you think you got away? This is a test to see if you are in or out and the advantages to being either way.

Profit so you can spend the day eating and being entertained, so what’s wrong with everybody living that kind of lifestyle - Prosperity?

So the king gave the order, and they brought Art and threw him into the lions’ den.

That is how I feel. I’m caught up in the land of lions, between having no money and doing without in order to be faithful to my God. Why and what do I need to prove to you, whom have captured and abused me,,, YOU KNOW! Oh, like a hungry fish to a baited hook, I am so tempted to yield and take the bait to their evil temptations, but I persevere. Even though I work every day, they don’t care because I am not pushing them up, not for profit anyway. Better than ending up in a frying pan, now you tell me if that is bad or good.

They say Art pays no attention to you, Your Majesty, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays to his God (((ALL))) day. So the king gave the order, and they brought Art and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Art, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”

Now, you want me to have all this shit and still be good and faithful to who? You want me to be good, yet you are pushing me to go to wicked people and steal all I can so you can think we are living high and mighty in their land – the belly of the whale.

Have you ever heard of playing basketball, tennis or any of this other crazy shit we do, making fools out of ourselves, to earn a living or is it to PROFIT THEM? Our world does not profit, but just the opposite; we’re destroying it and ourselves in exchange for “the hopes of profit” like your masters. If that ain’t the lion’s den, then what is? I'm not looking for profit but prosperity.

At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. When he came near the den, he called to Art in an anguished voice, “Art, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”

Art answered, "May the king live forever! My God sent his angel, and 'he' shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.”

The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Art out of the den. And when Art was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

The men who had falsely accused Art were brought in and thrown into the lions’ den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

“May you prosper greatly!” and here’s why: For your God is the living God and he endures forever; his kingdom will not be destroyed, his dominion will never end. He rescues and he saves; he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth. He has rescued Art from the power of the lions and he will do the same for you, only if you STAND UP.

Even though I knew all of this, it has taken me more than 55 years to muster the courage to act upon it. I do not know my outcome, but I do know I refuse to live in slavery and the only way I know to confirm that is to test.

If you want to know if you are FREE or SLAVE, just test.

This is the kind of faith you need in order to overcome all this shit which we have placed in our way. Change my name to yours and write your own story. May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you and may you prosper greatly!!
