[Ezekiel Bathfire]

Jesus always has advice for anyone in any situation. Your situation is basically that of Jesus. He too entered this Earth as the Son of the Founder: everything He (or you or I) could want was provided. Houses, water, crops, sheep, fish, roads, a police force in the form of Roman soldiers, a justice system, a universal health service in the form of amulets, charms and prayers, a currency backed by gold, etc, etc. All these were the work of His Father (Which art in Heaven.)

Like you, each child enters this world in much the same way as Jesus and he follows the way of his father – he does his father’s will. Now you will note that this would require you to know what your father wants… but he is dead, so he’s not going to say much - Ec:9:5: For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten..

However, Jesus was not in direct contact with His Father either. We see throughout the Bible that Jesus, when talking about what God wants, says such things as “Is it not written…?” (Joh:10:34: Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?) or "It is written..." (M't:21:13: And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.) or “Do not men <insert something men do>?”(M't:23:3: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.) He never says “My Dad told me this”, or “My Dad said that”.

Even in His final hours, he prayed to His Father – but His father’s reply is not recorded – God The Father was giving Jesus the “full mortal treatment” by hearing Him but not replying: (M't:27:46: And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?)

Like your life, Jesus’s life was one of recalling what His Father In Heaven had told other people and Jesus had overheard all this during their life together in Heaven. Joh:8:28: Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

Jesus was fortunate in that it was all written down in the Old Testament. But I’m sure your father – who art probably in heaven – left a few words written down. I suggest that, after checking those words against scripture, you simply follow these words and any words you remember him saying.


I am sure that if Jesus could remember enough to save the world, you will remember enough to run a business that is not quoted on the NASDAQ. This will give your life further purpose beyond the primary purpose, which is, as always, praising God..
