Muhammed's Payment

Greetings!

Working with Prophets is difficult, to say the least!  It's not that what They want is unreasonable, very often they're very good ideas. But They do not understand sometimes the impossibility of fulfilling some of Their desires on Earth.  They literally think They're going to tell us to do something, and we'll be able to instantaneously run out and do it!  Let me give you two examples, both from Muhammed.
Yesterday Muhammed came to me very upset that an Arab army, an Islamic army has not been raised to deal with The Taliban in Afghanistan to liberate his people from the false Islamic teachers.  He felt that as The United States was taking on this effort with his people and spending millions of dollars doing so, they should be rewarded.  So he gives President Bush authority to seize a 50 mile strip of land along the border of Iraq and Pakistan as payment for the war debt The United States is incurring in Afghanistan.  He proposes that this 50 mile strip of land along these two borders become a permanent part of The United States, that Muslim colonists from The United States and Great Britain take up residence there, to become a stabilizing force in the area, combating the aggressive nature of the locals, showing them what people can do if they work together, that residence of this American Afghanistan be full citizens of The United States, being allowed to vote in all elections.  In other words he wants to make a part of Afghanistan a state of The United States.  As the only representative he has on Earth, Muhammed wants me to sign the deed with The President of the United States, giving him this territory for The American People.
Now,  you know Muhammed means well. he's a good Soul, he leads a great people.  But the chances of getting what he wants in this situation are next to zero!
The other thing Muhammed wanted me to do was far simpler, but just as impossible.  Last weekend he wanted me to drop everything, go to New York as his only recognized representative on Earth, and pray for Those lost at The World Trade Center attack site, and place a bouquet of flowers before the cross that has been set up there, from all over the world, to represent a gift from all The Islamic People of the world.  He also wanted me to assure the people of The City Of New York and, the world, that he would avenge the innocent lives lost there, no matter what it would take, Islam would be brought back to The Light and those who have led it into Darkness, would be destroyed.  Not an unreasonable request, but totally impossible!  First of all the local authorities wouldn't let me anywhere near the disaster site.  Secondly, I don't even have a proper robe to perform such a ceremony.  Thirdly I don't even have a suitcase!  We lack the financial resources to even do a SIMPLE little task like that, let alone persuade The United States to form a state in Afghanistan!
The terrorists have millions of dollars to fund their efforts.  We have a little less than $900 a month to support ourselves and, our Work.  It's not that we WOULDN'T do virtually anything Muhammed asked us.  He is trying to save the world, and, his people.  It's simply we don't have the resources to do even the little things.

Yours In The Service Of Those Who Bear The Light,
Now And Forever,

Speaker Gerald A. Polley
