WHY THE RAT RACE? – WHY THE WICKED MAY PROSPER: This piece came by divine inspiration. Only thinkers write. Something nudged me to share this thought with humanity this morning in the place of prayer. And I must obey the Holy Spirit.

THE WAR STARTED FROM HEAVEN: This is because the human being you are looking at is a bodily shell that allows some manipulating evil spirits come inside him/her to do evil and speak evil. Ephesians 6: 6 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,…
