This is a little outside the realm of what I usually type,but it is a very excellent reason to get in God's good graces, because he can protect us from a lot of problems to come. But just believing In Jehovah God is not enough, not for him. We need to show faith, working for him, studying the Bible, not letting someone do it for us, because there are not many, if any true minister of God. They will not tell the whole truth. We must find it ourselves by reading the Bible word for word everyday and when you are done, start all over again, because the more often you read it, the more you understand each day. It takes time, but Jehovah God is worth it. After all, he gave up a Son in order that our sins may be forgiven. But also, we must continue to worship him as it is told in the Bible.

The Ten Commandments, which I am sure you have heard of. We are to obey them as we would obey any law here on earth. Only we need to obey God first and foremost. He is the one that can make us or break us. I have been reading the Bible for years word for word daily and then some. I have seen prayers answered and have had some answered, but you have to be patient, because Jehovah God answers prayers in his own due time, but he does it, he waits sometimes to test to see how long strong your faith is before he answers. But he does answer, and it is always just when you need them answered the most. His timing is impeccable. But if he doesn't answer, it is because he has read what is in your heart and if you don't have the faith etc.., then he won't even bother. He sees everything, he hears everything and he knows everything. There is nothing that anyone can hide from him. He is a kind, generous and loving spirit and if we do all we can for him, he will do all he can for us. He would never to do anything to hurt us.

When we are bad, he disciplines us, because we are his children. We all pay for our sins. If something doesn't happen, then it isn't suppose to. We have to accept that. We all have to grow and eventually die, it is the cycle of life and that is the way Jehovah God has planned. We have to accept that too. It is all due to Adam and Eve's disobedience to God for eating from the tree of knowledge. And it doesn't mean it was an apple tree. There is no mention of what kind of fruit that the tree bore.

Them eating off the tree, is what caused them to get kicked out of the Garden of Eden and forced to live a sinful life, growing old and grey and eventually dying. That is our curse, for their disobedience.

People out there seem to think that its alright to dye their hair, get plastic surgery, wear fancy expensive clothes and jewelry, live above our means. That is not what God wants us to do. We should live a good spiritual and humble life and treat others as we would want them to treat us. Satan is running things right now, but if we have a lot of faith, belief,love of God, works for God, love of our neighbor, which is, by the way, the second most important commandment that God asks of us. The most important is to love God with our whole heart, mind,spirit body and being and, obeying everything he tell us. If we do all his will, he will protect us until the resurrection, when we will be judged for our deeds, how we treated others etc...

All this stupid style of clothes, hair etc.. is not God's idea of dress etc... Men should not have long hair. If Jesus had long hair (which no one has ever actually seen him, nor could without dying) It was because, he traveled around preaching the good news (truth) and healing people who were cripple, blind diseased, possessed of the Devil etc..., He would have been too busy to worry about clean clothes, much less getting a haircut. And women should not have short hair. In the Bible, it says that women with long is like a crown of glory upon them. Don't quote me on that, but basically, that is what it says. And that is How Jehovah God feels. Also, men should not be sleeping with men, nor women with women. That is a travesty to God.

Read the Bible, believe me, you will learn so much. That is, if you are not afraid of the truth, but if you are, which I would wager, if I were a gambling person, that you are, so therefore, go ahead and keep your heads in the sand and see where it gets you. ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE!

If this offends you, then you are in bad shape. Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. Ecclesiastes 7:9. For wisdom is for a protection [the same as ] money is for a protection; but, the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom itself preserves alive its owners. Ecclesiastes 7:12. But you, O Jehovah, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness and trueness.
