Jesus said: “My people, you have been reading about how Job’s patience was tested by God as just about everything was taken away from him. It is not easy to start out from nothing to build up your home and try to furnish it. You remember how it took five years or so to furnish your own home. Once you have established yourself, it is even more difficult to lose almost everything as some people have had to endure tornadoes, floods, or foreclosures on their homes. These people are similar to Job in how they had to start over again from nothing. Imagine the hardship that these people had to endure. It is more frustrating to have to start over from a disaster or a bankruptcy. Remember the lessons of Job in trying to be patient, and do what is needed to replace your home from what was lost. Everything that you have is only temporary in this life, and it can be taken away just as you have acquired it. The most important gift is your faith in Me, and that will not be taken away unless you lose it by your rejection of Me. By remaining faithful to My call, you will be storing the most valuable treasure of all in heaven for your judgment. You will not be judged on how much wealth that you acquired in life, but you will be judged on how you loved Me and your neighbor. It is love that is more important than money or material things. So do not be disappointed or in despair if you lose anything big or you have to live in poverty. Love Me and trust in My help, and that will be enough to make you happy.”
Jesus said: “My people, you have been witnessing high unemployment rates in America because your corporations are allowed to exploit slave labor rates in many foreign countries. This is why your jobs are being exported to these countries. This leaves America with a smaller base of manufacturing, and you become more dependent on China for your labor. What happens if you are at war with China, and they shut down your manufacturing? This would leave America searching for other sources of labor and new factories would be needed. The middle class normally has better jobs, usually from factories, but this kind of income is harder to find. This is also why your average middle class income has been steadily decreasing. Not only is it unfair to American workers to export your jobs, but your corporations are perpetuating slave labor conditions in other countries, especially China. Workers in America cannot compete with cheap wages overseas without any benefits. It is hard to have a fair playing field, especially when your government is not protecting its workers, and corporations are getting tax incentives to send jobs overseas. Until Americans unite to fight these injustices, your people will only be able to find low income jobs. You will need highly skilled or trade jobs for good paying jobs, but these jobs are scarce in your economy. This will be a serious problem for your children and grandchildren. Pray that your jobs in America can improve with a better government that is willing to help its own workers.”
