Gas Prices Revisited

Why are gas prices so high? And who or what is causing the prices to continue to be so high?

Please see my previous post regarding gas prices. I posited a sinister force behind the gas prices. I addressed this question due to a friend's failure to attend Church and his excuse that he simply could not afford the gas to travel to Church.

As you may be aware, there is a simply amazing annual event called, "Spirit West Coast." This is a three day Christian Music Festival in which people, G-D, and His artists get together to praise His name. Every year, He attends and spends time with His people. This year was no exception.

However, this year had one problem. Lack of people. Generally the event is so crowded that it is difficult to walk between the stages in the evening. This year, the event was marked with emptiness. It was even easy to leave the main stage after the headliner, rather than contend with the usual horde of people. In fact, according to the festival officials, the turnout was the lowest it has been since the first two years of the event.

The official reason cited for the low turnout--high gas prices!

Somehow people make it to work. They make it to the supermarkets. Las Vegas tourism bureau officially states that there has been no decrease in tourism this year. There has been no decrease in rush hour traffic. But when it comes to getting together with G-D, that is expendable. That visit can wait until gas prices come down.

The Enemy's chief weapon is the excuse. All people have the ability to do what is right. All people have the temptation to do what is wrong. Since most people know what is right and all are able to do it, the biggest obstacle the Enemy has to overcome in order to sway people to his side is the natural guilt felt when going his way. Therefore, he supplies excuses. This allows the person to say, I would like to do that which is right, but I can't because...

Am I saying that a low turnout at one Christian festival demonstrates that Satan is behind the gas prices? No. Am I saying that all those who did not attend a Christian festival this year are ruled by Satan? No.

What I am saying is that Satan has a hand in allowing the gas prices to increase, because he knows that this will translate into excuses used by people to avoid the meeting with G-D that might otherwise transform them and render them unreachable to the Enemy.

Praise Him daily and He will bless you abundantly. G-D Bless.
