I was channel hopping earlier (good job I live alone cause it's a bit of a habit!) and I settled for a few mins on God TV. If you've never seen the channel, it's full of various preachers filling their pockets by preaching to the gullible.
This American preacher was telling a story about being in a car accident. There he was, hanging upside down in the car thinking 'my time has come.' However no, he heard the word of God, telling him his work on earth wasn't done. He saw angels coming down to help him. Reinvigorated, he reached for the seatbelt buckle, got loose and crawled from the car. He still went preaching that night he tells the congregation. He also made mention of folk on YouTube that have things to say about him. I'm assuming he's referring to one of the videos where these preachers are called out for what they are, con men. It makes no odds to him he said, God has been 'veeeeery good to me' and these folk can mock all they like. If you've ever seen these preachers, they LOVE to talk about how God rewards people financially if they praise him enough. They talk about 'sowing the seed' which is basically them asking the congregation and viewers for cash to fund their multi-million dollar lifestyles ... oops sorry I mean to fund their charitable work and church.
So how does God work then? It decided to send its angels to save this 1 x preacher who rips people off, and yet it decided not to send angels to save 43,000 people who died in the Turkey earthquake.
MMmmm, funny sort of God that.
