ME'-NE, ME-NE, TE-KEL, U-PHAR'-SIN

It was one of the best sermons you ever preached; "MY-NUM! MY'-NUM! TE- CAL TE-CAL!!! "; you hollered. "Can't You see the Hand writing on the wall?!!" you ripped into the church "Thou arrrt tuahhh! wayyy- aid auh! in da aauh! balances and founddd wa-a-a-atinnng!." Ohhhh! you preached that "thang". You strutted, you moaned, you got them out of their seats. You set their souls on fire.

I know now that you mispronounced the words. That's o.k. To this day I prefer the way you said it. It was a good sermon and it was early in your career. You weren't even ordained, you were a public speaker, a great orator.

You have always had a gift of oratory and persuasion. You are also a very good actress. All your great preaching was for nought because before we cleared the parking lot you cursed them. " You know dem black muthaf***** only gave me fifty dollars."

"Prophets for profit" is the term one of my FB friends used recently. That's o.k., I can't say that you exploited the church much. Very content to be an associate pastor and Sunday school teacher I can't say that you targeted the church. I can say that you have never been strong enough to practice what you preach. You love the "World" too much. You are double minded.

"Can't YOU read the hand writing on the wall? This very night your soul shall be required of thee!" You delivered that line with all the fire and brimstone that you could muster. People got up out of their seats. Oh the people hollered and shouted. You touched some lives for sure.

I remember it because it was a good sermon and you re- preached it in the house many times. You have always tooted your own horn. There is nothing wrong with that. You should love and compliment yourself. Oratory is not entirely your gift. You got that from your father and he got that from his mother and she got it from her mother.

How you expect to live in two worlds is beyond me. You did it, to my sorrow. I think most people always suspected that you were a serious hypocrite but not to the degree that you are. People know that you are addicted to gambling and pornography, but not demonism. People know that you have a lacerating tongue but not to the point of revolting evil.

I didn't know that you hated me with a passion, but GOD did. I didn't know that you were a pervert, but GOD did. I didn't know that you hated my grandfather, but GOD did. I didn't know that you were possessed by a demon, but God did. I didn't know that you lived eighty-five years as a vile reprobate, but GOD did.

This story is not over. The awesome miraculous Father that I serve still loves you, forgives you, and He is sorry that you can't love Him.

Young people (and old) if you get out here in the "World" and discover that you are on the wrong road, if you are powerless to evil, stop and pray, ask the Holy Spirit to come into your life, to dwell mightily in your heart.

All of us better read the hand writing on the wall. We all need to take heed to our ways because it is later than we think.

Stay in His WORD children. Your home work is the book of Daniel, chapter 5. "Keep yourself up much as you can." Remember, "Apart from Christ you are nothing."

Much Love, Peace and Happiness,
