Misery & Death

A s the world turns upon its axis, evil is increasing; destruction fills the very air we breathe. Who can
escape its malignity? It’s in our children, in our homes, in our schools, and in our churches. This evil
rules the hearts of teenagers today: it rules the governments; this spirit has been a ruling power upon
the world stage from the beginning of time. As a result, this malice opens the floodgates of misery and
death. These two elements have talked down aggressive natures throughout ages, and have caused
catastrophe in the earth. The way of misery is what many people in the earth are experiencing.
Making foolish, fleshly decisions, and the results are horrible calamities. These are horrible miseries,
which they will regret for the rest of their life. The next step is destruction; once they die the way they
are, smothered down with the stench of sin, then beside their names in the books of heaven is eternal
68 The Game distinction; no more sacrifice for their sins: they’re waiting in the grave for eternal
punishment. The grave is full of them, full of people with uncontrollable, sinful habits, who grieved
away the Holy Spirit. The way that leads to eternal destruction is filled with those who have gone too
far and closed their own probation before their appointed time. The road of misery leads to mental
crisis: imprisonment, physical crippling, and all kinds of defective damaging. This is a scar that could
only be healed by God, and the sad thing about it is that so many people all around them are affected
by their foolish behaviors. Mental misery pierces their hearts with tribulation and anguish: upon
every soul of man (in the Game) that doeth evil: for evildoers shall be cut off; and the wicked shall
perish (Romans 2:9; Psalms 37:9, 20). As the eyes of God view the sons of men on earth commit
hideous criminal actions against him and upon each other, his heart is broken because he sees their
end: he sees their entire end. They will all weep the harvest of their evil labors done under the sun,
and those who shake their fist at the most High, He will laugh at them, because their time is coming
(Psalm 37:13).
God is pleading to you: flee from the Game! It’s all around us; when you turn on the TV, when you
walk the streets; every man, women, black, white, Hispanic, etc, has some form of the Game
controlling them. Entertainment is some form of The Game, because it pro-motes and glorifies
violence. Just like the Game, Entertainment promotes immorality like The Game, fornication like
The Game, pride like The Game, hatred like The Game, and the list goes on and on. The Game is
everywhere. Those who stand on the street corners are the weakest in the Game, and the only way to
get to the top is by selling witchcraft (drugs) on the block. There-
69 Scott Hinton fore it’s a 360-degree circle. Entertainment (imitation) glorifies the reality, which are
the real things on the streets (The Game), and the reality of The Game glorifies the imitation
(entertainment) of The Game. All of it is a delusion pulled over all their heads to blind them from the
truth. The Lord takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked: but that he should return from his ways
and live (Ezekiel 18:23); but the world lives in vanity; they see God’s ways as being unequal.
Mankind’s worse sin is when he turns from the true light, which would save his life from misery and
destruction. The arch deceiver hopes that misery will cause the soul to break down and be forced to
the grave: forced to the grave without Christ, without hope, and without repentance. Vanity is the sin
that holds the sons of men connected to misery and finally, a sinner’s death. The graveyard is full of
men, women, and children that have been victims of The Game, who have been cut down in their
natural state of vanity. The road of misery lands you in prison, stealing your precious life away
slowly. Every second, every minute that goes by enslaved in prison, you could be out in the world
doing something productive for Christ and for society. The great deceiver (Satan) wants us to suffer
with him; his fate is the death without hope, which is the second death. Vanity is the sin that curses
humanity. When a man goes too far, God will give him want he wants, “the devil.“ Therefore this
causes his probation to close; Christ ceases mediating for him. The person grieved away the Holy
Spirit. Blasphemy against the Spirit of God closes up probations: this is happening every day; Christ
pleads to us from heaven, instructing us not to do such a devastating crime against God: to cross the
line of no return (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit); “wherefore I say unto you, all manner of
blasphemy
70 The Game against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men blasphemy shall be forgiven unto
man: but the blasphemy (Matthew 12:31). And for those that come up in judgment saying, “I love you,
Lord,“ Christ will deny that he even knows you. Vanity is the sin that brought down the great stars of
heaven. Oh, if we trust, take the time and read the word of God and the spirit of prophecy, we will
understand that the whole human race has been manipulated, and under a investigative judgment,
we will see that the scriptures are being fulfilled right under our noses. Because of our negligence, we
are the ones fulfilling the scriptures and will bring on the wrath of God. The Lord pleads to us daily
to save us from misery and finally death and destruction, but stiff- necked, rebellious humanity turns
from the signs of time. Men have devoiced their creator, their source of eternal life, and married
death. They stomp their feet and ball their fist at God, blaming God for things that came upon them
because of their foolishness; or when they reap the harvest of whatever they did, they blame God.
Selfish men have the same heart like pharaoh of Egypt: who’s the Lord that I should obey his voice
(Exodus 5:2). Vanity is a live, working element in the heart of man that blinds man’s reasons and
powers of decision-making. The vanity of pride controls man’s passions: to rule over other men, to
dictate another man’s way of living. Vanity leads men to be kings and rulers in the earth and
worshiped like gods. It desires to be number one. Vanity is a prideful ambition to conquer and to
dictate other man’s decisions; it is a spirit of wanting to be feared, a power wanting to be worshiped
and highly esteemed in the earth. Vanity is a strong, sinful disease worshiped and admired by people
that desire to rule. The Bible prophesied about men
71 Scott Hinton how long will you turn my glory into shame? How long whose minds are ruled by
vanity; they seek to rule the world. The Game goes a lot deeper than the block: it’s in the government.
Evil men will give their intellect over to the enemy to rule the world. The God of heaven will not
forever tolerate iniquity: “he have prepared his throne for judgment“ (Psalms 9:7). “O ye sons of men,
will you love vanity? And seek after leasing: (falsehood and deceit,). The foolish shall not stand in thy
(God’s) sight! Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: The Lord
will abhor the bloody and deceitful man“ (Psalms 4:2; 5:5.6). The earth is fading away fast, and sin
pollutes this world heavily; this is indeed the great stage where heaven and hell do combat. This is the
vast battlefield. It is prophesied that the Lord of vengeance will ride thee great clouds and will
recompense great men on the earth with destruction: destruction will come swift upon those who
have the power to destroy the world. Every hour this former Eden is being eating away by sorrows.
The only thing that stands between destruction and us is the God man Jesus Christ, pleading for our
forgiveness, but one day this too will stop. There is a beginning and an end to all things. It is because
of Christ, man’s advocate, that the most hideous things haven’t befallen man; but this too will cease.
Tragedy will come upon this earth like never before. From the time of Noah down to our last days,
man hasn’t seen the great whirlwind that will punish and take sin. Sin will be no match for him that
settles on the throne of glory. Man has the power to blow this little earth out of the second heaven, but
Christ is in control of that, too. Vanity stands in the spotlight, and there’re all forms of vanity: vanity
of dress, vulgar words, and slang, vanity lifestyles. In the world, if
72 The Game many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ (Chris-you’re not a part of vanity you
are classified as loc, lame, herb, etc. Children want to be down, so they rush into the Game and get
cut down in the mist of vanity. The young and the old worship vanity; the majority of churches is full
of vanity, the preachers. Sinful worship has flooded the meeting houses of God; Christ himself
prophesied this; “take heed that no man deceive you.): Matthew 24:4-5. We are in the hour where grace
and reprieve are fast passing; man’s cup of abomination will be arrested by heaven. The cup of
iniquity is tipping over, and God’s patience is wearing out. When the Angel (Christ) takes the censer
and fills it up with fire of the altar, and casts it into the earth; (Revelation 8:5): there will be trouble,
bloodshed, catastrophes, death, painful human suffering. Why will all this hap-pen? Because man will
have rejected the Law of God, and ran mercy away. The pride of vanity would have brought
mediation for man’s behavior away: judgment will be the result. Great buildings will come down,
planes will come down, cities taken over by foreigners, and this will bring the wrath of nature.
Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunami hits, volcano eruptions wiping out islands, mudslides,
war, and the list goes on. Hundreds and thousands lose their lives; grave sites open their mouths and
welcome their new captives. “God judgeth the righteous, and is angry with the wicked every day: if he
turn not, he will whet his sword: he has bent his bow, and made it ready. He hath also prepared for him
the instruments of death: he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. Behold (the wicked) he
travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief and brought forth false hood; he made a pit and
digged it, and fallen into the ditch which he made. His mischief shall return
73 Scott Hinton down upon his own plate“; (psalms 7:11-16)upon his own head, and his violent dealing
shall come . The wicked are responsible for their own destruction because they chose the road of
misery and destruction (the broad way) instead of God’s straight and narrow way of love, where a
man is made more fine than gold. Man has let Satan into his soul temple to steal away his soul, and
when God can endure no more, Satan will no longer be restrained: the soul now falls at the hand of
the enemy, and he does whatever he pleases. He stores them in his prison (the grave). They suffer the
first death and wait for the last and final judgment. The righteous sleep in Christ and await eternal
life. The wicked will suffer the death without hope, because they chose death over life. This leads us
back to misery and death, which God is trying to save us from. Satan also works day and night
hovering over us to get us to walk on forbidden grounds so he can annihilate us. In this chapter you
will read real stories of men who treaded on forbidden grounds and stumbled unto misery and death,
all because they’ve rejected the word of God. Many people suffer from the path of misery and
anguish; they make foolish decisions and now regret it. Many suffer their misery for the rest of their
life: those that turn from instructions despise their own soul. There are two ways, and whether you
like it or not you will choose: the straight and narrow path or the broad way that leads to destruction.
The way that leads to destruction is the popular and easy way, but it is the road that the world
follows; in this path lies open snares of misery; “there are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast
down, and shall not be able to rise “(Psalm 36:12). In the broad, popular way, all kinds of evil hunt
down the evildoers and tackle them. “The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days,
74 The Game dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer and the number of his years is
hidden to the oppressor; a shall come upon him“ (Job 14:20-21). Read carefully of these true stories of
men who were cut down in their sins, and died on the path of worldly sorrows and misery.
THE YOUNG MAN FROM FLATBUSH:
There lived a foreign young man that came down from New York City to a place down south to set up
shop and get rich fast, but he didn’t know the great price he and others would have to suffer, who lust
for greed and worldly ease. Through gunfights, he and his team settled on the turf; through war and
agreement, all came to a truce. They started making major money on that block. Drug addicts came
from all over; they came to buy the coke and water that they sold. Their product was one of the best
in their whole city. They were a moneymaking organization in this city, and distributed their coke and
water for a high price to other drug dealers. But they paid for it and people grew to love them. But
there was one in the team that wasn’t like the rest; his heart was not full of violence, but he was the
source of the income coming to the head of the drug reign. He was a foreign cat; in a couple of hours
or so within a day he got off at least a brick and a half or more by selling 20s, ten-dollar hits, etc.
Many were jealous of the young foreigner, but they dared not touch him because of his team, and not
to mention he even formed a group of soldiers even from that city. They loved him. He would give
them whatever they wanted plus help them get a piece of the pie. The young man would never pull
out. The only beef he had was with the
75 Scott Hinton police. He was making so much money that the police would come and take off his
fingers coke residue, just to take about ten or more thousands of dollars off him. He sold for a
notorious murderer, who robbed and kid-napped big-time drug dealers for great amounts of coke
and money. This young foreigner had no worries about people bringing beef to him. The young man
had business coming from all over, all through the city. I wouldn’t be surprised if any made money on
other blocks, because of the hook-up from this young man; even in his younger days (13, 14 years
old), he was such a good hustler, drug dealers used to kidnap him, just to take him and set him up on
a block to make them money. He was swifter than an eagle. One minute he’s next to you, the next
minute he’s on another strip on the block. When you saw him you would see that black leather coat
floating in the wind, with a bunch of addicts around him, thirsty, looking out for him for a bump,
begging and tagging along. They had to have it! Everyone had to wait till he finished his bricks before
anybody made money, not because they feared him or their team, but because the heads would not
deal with anyone else as long as he was out there with coke. When he was finished everyone made him
go home because just by his presence standing on the block, the fens would deal with no other. He was
loved and respected, but the Lord spoke about men like him thousands of years back, and he was just
one of many who will fulfill what God said by choice and by rejecting the glory of God almighty: the
wicked will receive their reward. The heavens say woe to men with lustful manners. The Holy Spirit
tugs at their hearts every day, but they reject grace more and more. The most evil ones are those
whose hearts are not like those who have no conscience
76 The Game earth: Job 14:29and will kill something quick, but those who reason in their hearts and
their minds are able to understand their wrongs are the most evil; they can comprehend. This was his
case. The heavenly agents pleaded with this young man, but he refused that the yoke be broken, he
rejected the light for the treasures of the world: “for what is a man profited, if he shall gain the world,
and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?“ (Matthew 16:26). The love
of money was the golden chain that held him captive to the dark sinful world. The blue and white
used to harass him, but he was no longer in their league. He was making figures, which attracted the
FBI. The feds informed the state police not to mess with him anymore, he belonged to them. The feds
and the FBI were closing in on him; his lawyer told him if he came to court the state would give him
over 70 years, and this would be a golden opportunity for the feds. So he fled, left his girl and
everything to another state, and there was where he met his fate, and his destiny was sealed. The evil
army cut him down; he was a great hustler, and the hustling killed him. God said, “He shall not be
rich, neither shall his substance (money, material possessions, fame, glory) continue, neither shall he
prolong the perfection thereof upon the . The police caught up with him in Virginia, and he swallowed
the coke and water. He resisted. He knew if he got caught he was gone for life; he even burned his
fingertips so they couldn’t track him. They Mace him, and all those times he swallowed that coke and
water, it finally added up; that plus the toxin in the Mace burst his heart, and he was finally cut down
in his own passions. The way of misery tackled him and death took possession of his soul: he
murdered himself. His heart burst within his heart cavity; the mighty hustler
77 Scott Hinton understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish Job was dead: “Destruction and death
say we have heard the fame thereof with our ears; like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed
on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume
in the grave from their dwelling. For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not
descend after him. Man that is in honor, and 28:22; Psalm 49:14, 17, 20.
OFF TO A WRONG START:
In another story similar to the last one, a young man got off to the wrong start, watching the vain
glory of those in the Game and wanting the glory of riches and respect. The Lord was tugging at his
heart, but the worldly influence was more amusing to the flesh; to serve the Lord you would have to
die to the flesh. He chose the flesh and the rebellion of Satan. Worldly influence took control of his
heart, and Satan introduced him to the Game; over the years, he rapidly collected money, and he
began to do it up. To the world he had made it, but to God he reads the inward of man and he was
lost. His name grew long as a distributor of weight and powder: but the arch deceiver did not finish
his course; Satan wants to degrade you to the uttermost, to accuse you before God, hoping that God
will give you up. Then he will come in for the kill. This was Satan’s plan for this young man. One day
the Lord sent his servant into a spot where drug dealers came to smoke trees and get drunk; the
servant of the Lord had warned of the coming wrath if they continued the same course of action.
Among them was the young drug dealer. As the
78 The Game servant finished up the message and began to walk out, the young man followed him;
the servant turned around in the kitchen, and he saw the young man standing there. The servant
proceeded to counsel him: he told him how the Game kills, that there will be no survival to those that
spurn the counsel of God. The servant gave him his number and asked the young dealer to call him.
The Lord was tugging at his head, time was running out, and he had no time to lose. Money is the
ruler of evil, and he didn’t want to give up sorcery (selling drugs) because it made him lots of money;
the love of money settled in his heart, and he forgot everything that God told him. He turned from
God’s love to crime and misery: “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted
after, they have erred from faith, pierced themselves through with many sorrows: 1st Timothy 6:10. This
is exactly what happened with the young man. The love of money was the golden chain that enslaved
him to the control of Satan, and Satan killed him; but first spiritually the young man killed himself
when he rejected the last warning. Satan laid him in the grave. Satan blessed him to kill him, and he
rolled up in a big-bodied Lexus with chrome wheels, decked out with jewels and diamonds. He was
flossing, but the scriptures said, “He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continued: Job 14:29.
The Lord led the servant to go out to find him, but he could not find him; he left his contact number
with his Pearce. Months later the servant got a phone call, and the person on the other line broke
some shocking news: the young man went to buy some coke from his supplier, and at the same time
the police were in the cut about to bust his supplier. The police pulled his lex, and the young man
started swallowing a great amount of dope: he couldn’t
79 Scott Hinton swallow all of it, by this time because his mouth prop-erly became so numb. They got
the rest of the dope off him and took him in. The police asked him if he swallowed any coke, and at
first he said no but then as the drug started penetrating his system, he started com-plaining that he
was feeling weird and he needed to go to the hospital. They asked him if he swallowed any dope, and
he said, “No.“ Later on, the poison drug began to attack his system, and he confessed to the
magistrate that he swallowed some dope. The magistrate said, “Crack kills.“ Moments later they
carried the young girl off, and she looked in the room where they had him, and he was having a
massive heart at-tack. His heart exploded within his chest cavity and he died on the spot. The word of
God said, “let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense: Job 15:31. His
own passions killed him; this is the road of destruction, the wide popular way, where lives are cut
short. Before the young man died he went to church, a sure sign that God was dealing with his heart,
pleading to him; but after church he went to the block to sell coke, cutting other people's lives short
for money. Now death has mastery over him.
THE MAN HE WAS STUNTING:
Here’s a true story of a man who the world called a stunner. Every beautiful woman lusted for this
man, and women fought over him. He had incredible fame and high glory, so exhilarative he was. He
had stacks of dough (money), but his own passions shut him down. God tried to save him, but he
loved the
80 The Game prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth: psalms Game; God always reveals himself
to man in a very exclusive way, but selfish man loves himself. This was the case of this baller; men
like him will have to come to a point in their life where they know they have to change, and quick.
The Holy Spirit pleads and pleads with untiring efforts to save their soul. For years God shows
mercy, and man’s heart grows colder. God gives them their heart’s desire and gives them over to
whom they love, Satan: “The prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of
disobedience: (Eph 2:2). Satan’s mission is to kill: The balers slept with so many women that HIV
wrapped him up and claimed his life until she bloomed fully into AIDS; not to mention the feds
snatched him off the streets and slapped major time on him; he would be an old man by the time he
paroled out, but he didn’t even reach half of his time. AIDS destroyed his immune system. This was a
man who women lusted for and fought over, street cats wanted to be like him, and he had major
money, but none of that saved him. God said, “For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the
prosperity of the wicked, behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in
riches; he shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he 73:3,12; Job 15:29.
Fornication and lust for gain caused him to stumble upon enchanting grounds, where he suffered
misery and was cut down. He died in federal camp; AIDS crippled his decaying body and landed him
in a wheelchair, skinny and helpless. He became a byword; many passed by him (visited him) and
marveled at his decaying, crippled body. The lust that caused this catastrophe came to a halt;
81 Scott Hinton he died in the hands of the government, the govern-ment buried him, and he was state
property.
CAME DOWN TO HUSTLE!
His team brought him down here to hustle and get cake, but instead he became another statistic, and
he went back up north in a body bag. A young man, 18 years old, tried to fit in with murderers; he
proceeded to be a killer in his team, but he really wasn’t. He ran as a killer, but those who live like a
killer shall die by killers. Eighteen years did he breathe on this earth; in the midst of his young days
he lost his life. He claimed to be a gunslinger; flattery is what he wanted, and he wanted many to see
him as a killer, but God saw this man’s life coming to a end. The Lord desired to “deliver his soul
from going down into the pit and that his life shall see the light“: Job 33:28. The life he sought out
worked against him and put him six feet in the dirt. The Bible spoke about this: “They die in youth,
and their life is among the unclean“: Job 36:14. He rejected the source of life, and God will not go
against man’s choices. Satan destroyed him. Two young men were in a hotel smoking trees (weed),
and they were expecting the young man to come to their room to join them and call up some females.
The two guys heard gunshots, and at first they thought someone was shooting up the hotel. So later
on, one of the guys went to the vending machine to get some ice, The guy noticed a yellow boot; he
walked farther and saw a chain, walked a little farther and saw a body lying there in blood, with
brain matter everywhere. The coat that was wrapped around the body identified who he was; it was
the young killer! The guy took off running to the room to get the other guy to clarify if this person
was the 18-year-old man from up north; yes it was he.
82 The Game devoured his strength; his remembrance shall have no name in the streets: Job 18:12-13.
Till this day down south, in the city where he tried to set his mark, his name is UN-heard and
unspoken: his name is as it never was. He was murdered; his family brought him home in a body bag,
and come to find out, he was the only son, and the younger of two children. Was he robbed? God
knows. Was he set up? God knows that, too. Some say those that came down with him killed him, but
what-ever it was, all who study the scriptures know that sin cut him down. “His strength shall be
hunger-bitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side. It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the
first born of death shall de-
THE YOUNG JAMAICAN
His name became long on the streets in the south, and the Lord had pity on this man; he was a time
bomb. The Lord allowed him to sit down (locked up) for a minute to deal with his head, to show him
that “Many sorrows shall be to the wicked“: Psalm 32:10; but fame and glory was what he wanted;; he
didn’t want the glory of God, he wanted temporary glory of the world, which only lasts for a moment.
The world choked out the voice of the Spirit. He was the under boss, second in control of an
organized drug reign. He was a part of a small drug mob that supplied coke to a well-known city in
the south. Bricks were trafficked back and forward up and down the turnpike. The police could not
catch them or see their smooth operation; but God saw their dark works, and they rejected the Lord
of glory for money, respect, and glory. The Bible already spoke about men that will rise up and do
such things: “The
83 Scott Hinton Lord shall laugh at him, for he seeth that his day is coming. He shall laugh at them,
thou shalt have all the heathen in derision; He that sitteth in the heavens shall have them in derision“
(PS 37:13; 59:18; 2:4). The Jamaican was released out of prison to claim his position in the click; but
another cat in the click felt he was next in line, envy took place, and there was war. The Jamaican
exercised his bones in the click and showed the men he was boss, but the other cat wasn’t hearing it.
He would be the hand of the forces of darkness to cut the young Jamaican off. The Jamaican said all
that don’t pay will fill his wrath. God said, “What pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the
number of his mouths is cut off in the mist; yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the
tomb. They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them“: Job 21:21, 32, and 26. The
Jamaican, led by pride, stepped to a demon that controlled the other cat; the demon’s mission was to
take the Jamaica's life. The Jamaican tried to son the other cat and demanded his money. “I’m going
to go in your pockets like I did the other cats.“ So the Jamaican ran up on him to strong-arm him,
and the other cat pulled out a duchy .45 caliber. The Jamaican now stands in the midst of his fate:
The Lord can’t save a man who refuses his saving grace; they’re left to serve their idols. The
Jamaica's probation shut on him right there. The Holy Spirit’s voice was not heard any longer to stop
him from running up on this envious man; his days were numbered. Satan had control over both
men, but the Jamaica's time was up. The Jamaican said, “Why did you pull a gun out on me? I will
take that gun from you.“ Who do you think put these thoughts in the Jamaica's mind? Satan. Satan
dealt with his pride and drove him to death. “I will deweapon you,“ said the
84 The Game . When they found the Jamaican, he was in a puddle of blood, along with his iced-out
grill, chain around his neck, fat pockets, and expensive shoes on his feet and back; all this was food
for the worms. “The workers of iniquity fallen, they cast down, and shall not be able to rise“: PS 36:12.
Jamaican, and ran toward the other cat screaming, bang! The gun went off and the bullet clashed
right through his abdomen, through his back, and the force was so strong it spun him around, bang!
He hit the young Jamaican in the back and slammed him to the ground. The envy man stood over the
Jamaican with hatred controlling his heart. He stood over him and shot him in the back of the head.
The Jamaica's breath of life went back to God, and he died on the spot. “They spend their days in
wealth and in a moment go down to the grave; therefore they say to God, depart from us: for we desire
not knowledge of thy ways. They are as stubble before the wind and as the chaff that the storm carrieth
away. His eyes shall see his destruction and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty; for they say in
their hearts what is the Almighty that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray
unto him“: Job 21:13, 14, 18, 20, and 15
THE MENACE TO SOCIETY
There was a young menace to society, a troubled kid from the jump; he grew up in the projects. Every
time you turned around, he was always getting hurt. God pleads for a lifetime to the sinner, but they
love the popular way, the road of misery and destruction; “I have no pleasure in the death of the
wicked but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from
85 Scott Hinton your evil ways; for why will you die“: Ezekiel 18:11. This young man entered into the
fullest of the Game and lived the fast life. He had guns to back him up and thugs to call his kinfolks;
the influence of those before him led him to draw out guns, too. The Bible says, “If you live by the
sword, you shall die by the sword.“ One day he got into an argument with a Jamaican over a ball
game, and the Jamaican pulled out a gun and shot him five times in the face: closed casket. He was
only 16 years old. “Therefore will I number you to the sword and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter:
because when I called, ye did not answer: when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes
and did choose that wherein I delighted not“: Isaiah 65:12.
THE STICK-UP KIDS:
There were four young men who were stick-up kids and went on robbing sprees. They would run up
in people's houses and take their possessions, and they would hold people hostage. They were all
trapped by sin; God could not shield their lives from what was up ahead. One day they did a juke,
and out of fear of the police, they raced the highway, lost control of the car, and hit an object. When
they came to, the devil had claimed one of their men’s lives; he was sandwiched in the backseat. The
 devil put another lost soul in his prison, and the other three fled and left him there dead. The young
man went to seek riches, became a stick-up kid, brought terror to the public, but could not see what
lay for him up ahead: “Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of
man is great; for he knoweth not that which shall be? There is no man that
86 The Game hath power over the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is not
discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given it“: Ecclesiastes 8:6-8.
Gang banging, balling, ride or die, get rich or die, all may be fun at the moment, but when those slugs
burn through your flesh, or when you take a mother’s son’s life, this is not fun. You go down as a
descendant of Cain, and if you don’t repent your reward will be great. You may say I must get him
before he drops on me, but you won’t drop on anyone if you’re not in The Game! “Because sentence
against an evil worker is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them
to do evil“ (Eccl 8:11). In other words, you take advantage of the gift of God; and you use it to do evil;
and because God isn’t knocking your block off every time you do evil, sinners are waxing bold. Kill or
be killed; this is foolish! Haven’t you heard trouble will not last always? Don’t you know we are living
in the time of Judgment? We are all under investigation by heaven. Remember when you were
coming up hundreds of cats were on the blocks and the streets were crowded; what’s happened now?
Either they’re locked up or dead! Do you have a skill better than they do? Do you have a strategy
better than theirs? “Is mortal man wiser then his creator; they are destroyed from morning to
evening; they perish forever without any regarding it“: Job 4:17, 20. God will destroy sin. The
majorities are put away, dead, gone, become dope addicts and drunks. You must have something
better, and that’s called pride, and pride goeth before destruction: “But those riches perish by evil
travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand“ (Eccl 5:14). In other words,
87 Scott Hinton many people that hustle in the Game get money for a while, get robbed, killed, get
locked up for a while, and have nothing to show for it; they leave their children with nothing, and the
only thing they have are crime stories. Some still have money but they have to pay the gangs in prison
money if they’re not a part of one. Their cars and clothes all become old in the world. Their
fornicating partners now fornicate with someone else, and they are left alone, a burden to their loved
ones. Then many join a gang and they’re in the Game in prison, the same foolishness that put them in
there, they’re still doing it all except it’s a new world now, with new players. All that live wicked have
no peace. “But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and
dirt; there is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked“: Isaiah 58:20-21. What can you get out of the
Game? The Bible says death. The sword is in the earth to cleanse it from wickedness. People like 50
Cent, Jay-Z, and all vessels of Satan are here to keep the Game fresh in your mind, and the Lord of
glory is here to save you from the popular ways. Which will you choose? A person in the Game sleeps
not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away unless they cause some to fall:
Proverb 4:16. You spend all night on the block seeking and scavenging for every dollar, tying up
people, kidnapping people, killing people, and will not sleep till your wickedness is accomplished. This
brings me to a story of this one guy from Flat bush, New York. He beat this cat out of a couple of
ounces, and the cat was known for putting people in the grave. This cat was so wicked that, if he hit
one person and you are standing around, you’re gonna die, too. He will leave everyone dead. From up
north to down south he was foolish, killing folk in the daytime. He was vicious; he buried many souls
under his
88 The Game every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed; then when lust
hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death“ (James 1:14-15).
The word of God is so true and timely; man’s lust drives him headlong to fatal mistakes; the young
man met death face to face. He lay dead in the streets of Brooklyn, jumping and twitching; face up by
the demon-filled man. The demon-filled man snuck up on him, hit him in the head, dropped him, and
stood over him and dumped several shots in his face. This is the fate of a drug dealer if they don’t
turn from wickedness and repent. Satan already accused you to heaven that you deserve to die, and
by your choice you can bring it to reality: “But those that lust to be rich fall into temptations and a
snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition“ (1st
Timothy gun. He had so much money from robbing big cats, selling weight, etc., the feds were looking
for him, but he would not stop there. He said he would go out blasting; this man had a demon. People
were left dead by him, even innocent bystanders who had nothing to do with the beef he had with the
next man. The scriptures say, “For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord and he pondereth
all his goings; he shall die without instructions, and in the greatness of his folly, he shall go astray“:
Proverbs 5:21-23. This story is not merely about this assassin, but about the guy from Flat bush that
beat him. The love of money drove him to beat him. He wanted many to see him as a supplier; he
wanted the finest things in life. His ambition drove him to jump the face of death. He beat the killer,
and with a nice amount of ounces, he went off and skipped town and thought to be safe back in New
York City. “After all, the feds were looking for the killer, and he wouldn’t dare to come up here,“ he
thought. “But
89 Scott Hinton nation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath, their own ways
have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord of vengeance“ (Ezekiel 22:31). The Lord is
merciful, but he will not forever tolerate sin; he is a jealous God. “Visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me“ (Exodus 20:5). God will
not forever sit and say nothing and let people feast on the people of the earth. He will rise up and
bring it to a halt. What is a name on the streets? What is real? Death is the end of great names among
the streets. You in the Game for a name, for women and money, the sword awaits all this. These men
who died in the stories were men that were called real; they put their talents in the devil’s treasury
and he betrayed them all. Their names are on a tomb-stone, and their names await the final
Judgment. Man dieth once, and waits in the grave for judgment. 6:10). This same lust tackled down a
team that wanted to be the best. They stuck people up for their money and dope; they were dirty in
the Game. They were robbing folk, selling dummies, the whole nine yards. God spoke of these sinful
works, long before their time: “The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and
have vexed the poor and needy, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully“: Ezekiel 22:29. The stick-
up crew went out to rob some people in North Carolina; the guy they tried robbing wasn’t having it,
and he rushed the guy that had the gun. They tussled and fought, and an-other one of the stick-up
kids ran over to aid his man. The gun went off, and it didn’t hit the guy they were robbing or beefing
with; the bullet ripped through the center of his chest and blew it wide open. He took about three
steps and fell to his death. Robbery came to an end. The Bible says, “Therefore have I poured out mine
