Happy New Years
These are the Oracles of Ivan Lewis Slavich IV of the sons of Korah son of Elisha the Prophet in Hakkabuk on the First Day of the First Month in the year of 2023 at Bibb County correctional facilities in Alabama Department of Corrections.
And the Word of the LORD came to me in the name of God and said, "Jacob, if you are going to go in to Egypt, then you must go by a different route than the normal route. You must go through the land of the Philistines first (Deut 2:22), and then once you arrive in Egypt you are to tell Egypt that their gods are not true, just as your God, Yahweh, is."
When I read that in my bibles I began to worry about a couple of things:
1) Are We Still Alive?
2) Will We Be Worthy Enough
After I read the Word of the LORD, an understanding began to grow over my head like an iceberg.
And then I began to look back in the yearnings of my soul. And I began to see something different and something different was happening. Something different was happening is Bibb county prison. Something different was happening inside of these prisons, to put it mildly.
And something else was happening. I began to feel the difference in this new feeling of God's love, and I began to understand even further what the LORD said in Deut 21:25. So you see, my soul began to see into the yearning of its own desires and realized that it was so much larger than itself. And just as the LORD said that Yahweh became God over my land (Ex 9:16) so too would I become something larger than I was, and something greater than that was happening in prison.
But to put it bluntly, Bibb county prison was a God made institution. The LORD put his Word in these places where it would not be heard and there it would grow, much like in the garden of Eden or in the temple of Yahweh. So what did happen? I will tell you something about what happens.
And the LORD wants to do this so that if you are not ready: We must work, work, work if we are seeking the true riches. And it appears that the more that we earn, the more we will want to...
