An Oracle '' a Cautionary Tale''

An Oracle, ‘’ a cautionary tale’’

The man was called upon to help he went, heart full of love, not his own 

but (put there) questions and laughter..are  (you surely sent) then test the

spirits was a teaching the ‘‘executive Minister’’ applied, an overriding

rule his intent! Journey down to a little old hall, seemed to rub them up

wrong yet trying  (to answer that call) started too early was often the slot

to preach, a new understanding of Christians this treatment did teach, as

the Deacon changed leaders amid small slights and large. Till late in 1991

the Holy spirit took charge..! Psalms 36 verses 1 to seven thru, (n k j)  

taking this note to the executive was what he must do, and feeling in a

a condition of de ja vue, just wrote outreach name  not feeling worthy

and not wanting to lay blame. 3 months later the Deacon saw red, took

a knife half cut off brother in laws finger a shame,  step down the testing 

preacher  then said, still attending church meetings and opening halls

rolls 10 years on, & the full fulfilment now calls. His son argues with blood

uncle.. Ex-Deacon arrives kills this brother with a shotgun over another

he drives, also shoots him a no more (progeny shot) then he goes to the

slammer to await his lot.!

For the Glory of God & ^Rick Parise’s Oracle contest, I see that this 
Contest was not the idea of a man. But Rick is being used to set the
Stage to show Gods prophetic power, the above is a true story I knew
All of the people involved, I believe that this contest fits the saying
That all hidden things will be brought into the light, I have no
Personal knowledge of Rick, yet you would be forgiven for thinking  we have  
dreamed this opportunity up..! (I submit this work as Gods entry)

Oh, that "Ex-Deacon" was no such a good man, Joe!:( It's so unfortunate when these horrific clergy occurances are brought to life. One might say that it's human nature? Never!!! In reality it feels even more horrific when it's done by those we need to admire and trust. It's as though he'd relinquished the steering wheel that God had held, then let Hades yank it out of his hands, to excelerate on the gas pedal. Ouf, malicious intent!! Best wishes, Love, Mikki

The story is amazing and although it reads as prose, the rhyme is there within the lines. I found it quite fascinating.

yes strange things happen these days, and this is just one of them. i see the ref. was from the KJV, that is the only bible that I read. and I agree with Judy. a lot of so called Christians use Jesus's name to do wrong. a great piece of work my friend. thank you for commenting on Blooming Rose Bush.

I wasn't sure I understood all the details of it, Joe. But you certainly showed a good example of how strange people can become these days. God help us all!!

Good job my friend. Too much is done in the Name of Jesus when He would have nothing to do with. Other times not enough is done in the Name of Jesus when He would have us stand up and be counted. Lord Help Us All. Good job here. God Bless, JB
