Calling

 Some people dismiss demons and devils as childish fantasies. Prophecies of them all being loosed upon the earth at once are also dismissed, despite the excellent caliber of the prophets. What people fail to see, is the corruption of society descending more and more into sin and violence. The ferocity of mindless attacks on people in all sorts of places that used to be safe, are safe no longer. Governments flounder to get a handle on the chaos, but it has been unleashed on the human race so that people must make choices about what they do with their lives; indifference is becoming impossible.

The despicable notion that it is good and right to charge "fashionable" prices for living space is moronic, and the longer governments refuse to address rents by regulating them so anyone can afford an apartment is simple insanity.

Rent regulation is the first part of a solution, but a spiritual rennaissance must also happen. If there is none, then efforts to address rents are also going to fail, and the insane violence and criminality will continue until things get so bad that everyone has been killed.

The rennaissance I am speaking of is that people address the Lord just because they want to tell Him they love Him, are grateful to Him and implore Him to assist those who are struggling and have no advocate. In such an occurrance, it is possible to see an acceptable future, because people are helping others to also arrive at their own rennaissance.

Each of us has all the time we need to do what He asks in a given day. That we did not at least think of Him in love, will be a blight on our memory of that day when we must account for our existance and deeds.

Pay attention when you perceive the Lord telling you not to do something. One does not need to go off into the desert to sit in a cave waiting for a revelation. Wherever you are now is your cave. Sit in it and turn off the voices in your head, and the whisperings of panic in the darkness, and allow the Lord to be heard and felt so near. The desert fathers did it because God told them specifically to do it. If you are called in the same way, then enter the wilderness and pray. Wherever you are is your dwelling place, and wherever you will be at the fall of night, is an acceptable habitat for your seeking.
