peter:
Thanks for the welcome, and especially thanks for all the work in replying and I believe the answer is a compound one with more than just one simple easy answer, like most answers given in scripture it appears that if you dont live and become the answer you cannot understand it. So yes, instead of entering the wedding feast with my own garment and finding the highest table expecting great honour and better payment, I will strive to stand humbly hopefully inside the door waiting for a garment to be provided. Again many thanks. My whole family still cannot see it but nevertheless accept now that they have no way to respond. My mother, now after 82 years of being a faithful church sister found the key for her in the simple expression, Can evil be done in a city and I the Lord have not done it, when she realised finally the all encompassing power we had hid in "church". She then heard my excitement and also began to see and understand who is GOD, it was then that, her eyes and face said that is what she had been looking for all her life. Thanks be to Him for the comfort and encouragement of all witnesses of Him.

Hi Peter,
I like the way you put it, with the wedding feast and all. Made me think of how I'm considered poor by peoples standard, but through their handmedown GARMENTS (I work for rich people) makes me feel rich. I know that sounds carnal like I care about fashion I DON"T. what I mean to say is that God provides so beautifully for me and still keeps me humble. He doesn't give me lots of money to buy my own but humbly receive my blessings through others. He never fails me either. It's just like the scripture , I'm waiting at the door,needing God to provide until the day he will ask me to come in and join the feast.
God bless,
Silvia

hello peter and welcome to the forum. your statement above, about your mother, made me so happy for her. i have tried many times to speak about the truths of the Scriptures that the Spirit has shown me through ray's intensive writings and the Scriptures themselves to my own mother, age 82, but she refuses to take off her garment of comfort which her church has shrouded her with. but, i have spoken the Truths to her and that is all i can do. i am content with that, though i feel like a loner when at family gatherings, because i no longer go to church or believe their lies. but all praise and glory to God the Father and Jesus Christ my Savior, for i know that ALL will on That Day, know the Truths which they now reject.

Good afternoon Peter and welcome,
Good question!
Just consider all the responses that you received!
And all of great benefit to each one of us, especially the elders
who are still being honed and polished.
Thanks, Indianabob
