The Word of Their Testimony

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

My testimony is this: in this sick anti-christ world that we live in, I have lived 38 years, and I have seen the faithfullness of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I see it now even when I look back to before I knew the Lord. Goodness and love have followed me all the days of my life, even many times when I did'nt deserve it. Today's world is increasingly filled with those who argue that our Father does'nt exist, and His word is a bunch of propaganda, but how will they argue me out of my experience? How will they argue me out of this peace that lives within me while the world is overwhelmed with fear. I realize how pathetic I am without Him. Oh, yea, there is someone living inside of me, and I KNOW IT. How will they argue that? No there isn't! Yes there is! No there isn't! Yes there is! No there isn't! Yes there is! is about the best they could do. There is a God in heaven, and one who lives in and among those who love Him. He is calling out to you today. Today is still a day when this Great King has His hand outstretched to men, today is a day of grace, tomorrow may be a day of wrath. Get right with the Creator today, there's no time left. Grace and Peace

The End of All Things is Near

The bible clearly tells us that the end of all things is near. Recognizing this, what do you think the Holy Spirit's command is for us?

Compare what the bible says to all the advice you hear from today's apostate preachers....

The end is near, so we should.....

"get involved" with politics? Nope
build a bunker? Nope
stockpile food? Nope
"get involved" with some church group? Nope
Use "intention" to intend the worlds problems away? Nope
Adopt a positive attitude? Nope
Adopt a negative attitude? Nope
Do nothing? Nope

Here's where those with faith distance themselves light years away from the faithless. The attitude of those with no faith is that if we want to "make a difference" we have to put our back into it, use our arms and legs to physically move the mountains around us. Not only is this attitude faithless, it's highly unwise. The bible tells us what to do since the end of all things is near, and that is:


1 Peter 4: 7The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.

SO THAT YOU CAN PRAY...is prayer "doing nothing?" I would argue that I can move a continents worth of mountains with prayer before any other man can move a molehill with his back. Don't get me wrong, there is certainly a place for our good deeds in this world, HOWEVER, without prayer, all the activity in the world is just a bunch of background noise. Men of faith PRAY, do you know why? Because they KNOW that our Father is a God who answers prayers, and He is able to do more than we can ask, think, or imagine....stick that one in your pipe and smoke it for awhile.

For this reason when I hear all the apostate preachers of Babylonianity telling us to do everything under the sun (especially to give MONEY, to them of course) except PRAY, i get this nauseating feeling in my gut. They are sickening. Anyone who claims to represent the Lord's kingdom should first and foremost be an advocate of prayer. It takes faith to pray. Men who pray, do so because they EXPECT RESULTS. Our God rewards faithfulness. It's time to renew our committment to spend time with the Lord in fervent prayer. We don't get on our knees to expell hot air, we do it to move mountains.....GRACE AND PEACE

Praying the Lord's Will

It's important when we pray to understand the Lord's will for us. The bible is full of statements that tell us what His will is and is not for us. Consider:

Jer 29:11 (NIV) "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

This is a clear statement that reveals the mind of the Lord toward those He loves.

Great peace have they which love thy law´ Ps.119.165

He intends for us to have GREAT peace. How? Through love of his law/love of His Word, and His Word is Jesus Christ.

John 14:1 Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.

closely related to your peace , an untroubled heart..

John 14 :27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

He desires that we be not afraid. That's a big one, think of how much fear is in this world..

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him

He desires that we OBEY His commands...

1 Thessalonians 5:25 Brethren, pray for us.
... Brethren, pray for us. ... Brethren, pray for us. ...

He wants us to pray for each other, carry each others burdens. If we really love each other, there is no more loving thing we can do than pray for each other.

Our Situation

Our situation tells us nothing about our situation. Let me repeat that, Our situation tells us nothing about our situation! There are many examples in the bible that support this. Consider Lazarus, he was dead in a tomb, what was his situation? Dead forever? I guess not, Jesus raised him from the dead. What about the lepers healed when there was no cure for leprosy? What did their situation tell them about their situation? Nothing. Once Jesus entered the picture, the situation stood only on the will of God and the words coming out of Jesus's mouth. Let us stand firm in the faith brothers, watch your beliefs carefully. Increase your intake of the Word of God. Time is short, will the rapture be here today? tomorrow? This summer? How much time is left before the tribulation starts? How much time is left before the anti-christ is revealed? Look around you, read the news headlines...there's no time left, we're on borrowed time as things stand today.

The Word of God tells us what our situation is. Why else would Jesus tell us that we live by faith, not by sight? The real question is, which will we believe? According to our faith things are done unto us.

Matthew 9:29... Then He touched their eyes, saying, "It shall be done to you according to your faith."

Ever hear that saying "be careful what you wish for?" Be careful what you believe because the Lord is watching and taking note of where your faith is. Stay in the Word of God, meditate on it day and night. Grace and Peace

Time is short, the signs are everywhere. The servants of the enemy are now making their move to take control of the entire world for their master, satan. We know how this story ends, we win :-). Don't be complacent, don't be hypnotized by the droning of everyday life. For some of us, EVERYTHING is going to change for the better in the blink of an eye, likewise, everything is going to get infinitely worse for many in the blink of an eye. Take out the salt, and the world spoils, WE are the salt of the earth. Be faithful and diligent, your Master stands at the door...Grace and Peace

We Stand on Faith

In difficult days, it pays more than ever to stand on the Word of God. We stand firm by faith in the Most High God and His Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Word of God is real food, we must feed...

1 Corinthians 16:13 Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. 14 Let all that you do be done in love.

2 Corinthians 1:24 Not that we lord it over your faith, but are ...
... Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of yourjoy: for by faith ye stand.

1 Corinthians 2:5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom ...
... That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God

What Has Been Will Be Again

Consider:

The Past.....

Daniel 3 :1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, the height of which was sixty cubits and its width six cubits; he set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. 2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent word to assemble the satraps, the prefects and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all the rulers of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. 3 Then the satraps, the prefects and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all the rulers of the provinces were assembled for the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 4 Then the herald loudly proclaimed: “To you the command is given, O peoples, nations and men of every language, 5 that at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up. 6 “But whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire.” 7 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations and men of every language fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

The Future....

Revelation 13:11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. 12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. 15 And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

The rapture of the church draws very near. Apostate christianity will be exposed for what it is very soon. When those who call themselves christians are faced with death or recanting their claim that they are christians there will be no more "playing church," it will be time to put up or shut up. The time to "get real" is today, eternal consequences weigh in the balance. There's no time left to mess around. Although I do not know the day or the hour of the rapture, I have eyes that see. We are hurtling in a downward trajectory toward some very very bad times. How many more people in America will have to lose their homes before things start to fall apart? How many more people will not be able to feed their families before things come apart at the seams? When the next "terrorist" attack occurs will people wake up? When martial law is declared, will people wake up? When people are scared, penniless, homeless, hungry, faced with terror on every side, will they turn to their Creator? Unfortunately, many will not. Today is the day of decision, not tomorrow. Nobody promised you that you will see tomorrow. Get right with the Son of God, TODAY. May the Lord bless you and keep you, may his face shine upon you, and grant you peace.

The Problem, The Promise

Did you know that Costco and Sam's Clubs are now rationing rice purchases due to food shortages HERE in the United States? Ohh...how the mighty have fallen. There are food riots across the 3rd world nations, the World economy is set to go belly up any day now, we're looking at possible WW3 in the middle east any day now. These things will definitely be problems for some people.

But what has the Lord promised those who obey Him?

Do not fret because of evildoers,Be not envious toward wrongdoers. 2 For they will wither quickly like the grassAnd fade like the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD and do good;Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself in the LORD;And He will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the LORD,Trust also in Him, and He will do it. 6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the lightAnd your judgment as the noonday. 7 Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him;Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. 8 Cease from anger and forsake wrath;Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing. 9 For evildoers will be cut off,But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land. 10 Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more;And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there. 11 But the humble will inherit the landAnd will delight themselves in abundant prosperity. 12 The wicked plots against the righteousAnd gnashes at him with his teeth. 13 The Lord laughs at him,For He sees his day is coming. 14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bowTo cast down the afflicted and the needy,To slay those who are upright in conduct. 15 Their sword will enter their own heart,And their bows will be broken. 16 Better is the little of the righteousThan the abundance of many wicked. 17 For the arms of the wicked will be broken,But the LORD sustains the righteous. 18 The LORD knows the days of the blameless,And their inheritance will be forever. 19 They will not be ashamed in the time of evil,And in the days of famine they will have abundance. 20 But the wicked will perish;And the enemies of the LORD will be like the glory of the pastures,They vanish—like smoke they vanish away. 21 The wicked borrows and does not pay back,But the righteous is gracious and gives. 22 For those blessed by Him will inherit the land,But those cursed by Him will be cut off. 23 The steps of a man are established by the LORD,And He delights in his way. 24 When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong,Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand. 25 I have been young and now I am old,Yet I have not seen the righteous forsakenOr his descendants begging bread. 26 All day long he is gracious and lends,And his descendants are a blessing. 27 Depart from evil and do good,So you will abide forever. 28 For the LORD loves justiceAnd does not forsake His godly ones;They are preserved forever,But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off. 29 The righteous will inherit the landAnd dwell in it forever. 30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,And his tongue speaks justice. 31 The law of his God is in his heart;His steps do not slip. 32 The wicked spies upon the righteousAnd seeks to kill him. 33 The LORD will not leave him in his handOr let him be condemned when he is judged. 34 Wait for the LORD and keep His way,And He will exalt you to inherit the land;When the wicked are cut off, you will see it. 35 I have seen a wicked, violent manSpreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil. 36 Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more;I sought for him, but he could not be found. 37 Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright;For the man of peace will have a posterity. 38 But transgressors will be altogether destroyed;The posterity of the wicked will be cut off. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD;He is their strength in time of trouble. 40 The LORD helps them and delivers them;He delivers them from the wicked and saves them,Because they take refuge in Him.

Those are some very potent promises, VERY potent. Think long and hard about what the Lord says He will do, do you believe He will do what He says He will do? According to your faith are things done unto you, expect nothing if you don't believe, ask the Lord for more faith if you need to, He's your father after all :-) Grace and Peace

The "Tithing" Scam Exposed

I have'nt written much about churchianitity's penchant for fleecing the sheep much lately. This brother wrote an entire book exposing the wolves for who they are by proving without a shadow of a doubt that the "tithing" preached today is false doctrine, and worse yet, brings christians back under the curse of the law. Bottom line, either follow the whole law or none of it. If you're not convinced, read his book, Grace and Peace

Time is Short

I am impressed this morning by the shortness of time. I have posted before on what the Lord has done with me personally. I have been put "on notice" now for about a year, by the lord. It's tough to describe what this means aside from the fact that I know, deep down aside, with absolute certainty, that the rapture will occur any day now, along with the revelation of anti-christ, and the "day of the Lord." I don't know a day of an hour, but I know that I've been put on notice. I'm 38 years old now and never before in my christian life have I ever had this kind of "being put on notice" kind of intuitive knowing that there's no time left. Like I said, it's been like a year now, and every day the "knowing" is more confirmed. I write to you brothers and sisters today to share with you some recent things I see as a watchman on the wall.

The world economy is in BIG trouble. The trouble is so big in fact that it's irreversible. We are on a collision course with some very big events. Namely, the anti-christ and his satanic earthly kingdom, aka the "new world order." Look around, people are going under left and right, no jobs, no house, no food, what's next?

The bible says the wicked won't see the day of the Lord coming. Why is that? For one, they are spiritually blind. Also, the way things are coming on the world, it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. People see the wreck coming, but since it's happening in slow motion they feel like they'll have plenty of time to move out of the way. There's no one major event out there that screams at them "DANGER, RUN FOR COVER" so they carry on as they always have. It's like the story of the frog sitting in a pot of water where the heat is gradually turned up, by the time the water reaches boiling, the frog wants out but it's unable to get out.

The world is today like an audience sitting in a large theater. They are sitting in their seats, watching the stage being set. One tribulation event after the other is being rolled out onto the stage in full view of the audience, they see it happening and yet they do nothing, as though they are in some kind of trance. Does the show really have to start before people will believe that the stage pieces will come to life and play their parts?

The world as we knew it before Sept 11, 2001 is gone, FOREVER. This world is being transformed, right now, today into a satanic playground, where the anti-christ and his minions will setup their satanic kingdom and show mankind how "wonderful" it can be. The stage is almost completely set, the Lord has informed me (with an intuitive "knowing") that it's about to start. I've known this for about a year. The Lord is long suffering, He does'nt want anyone to be lost. His servants are warning anyone who will listen that time has run out. We are now looking at hours and days, maybe months before time is up. The rapture is going to occur in the twinkling of an eye, either men are ready or they are not. The time to get right with Jesus is TODAY, the time to perfect holiness is TODAY, the time to get rid of whatever hinders your walk with the Creator is TODAY. I don't know the day or hour, but good Lord, I have something inside of me that's burning a little hotter every day, telling me to tell you that THERE'S NO TIME LEFT TO MESS AROUND. Please, get right with the Creator and his Son Jesus Christ today, I'm begging you. Grace and Peace.

Where is The Church?

Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

When you read the description above it basically includes everyone...from "the kings of the earth" to "EVERY free man" and it says they all hide themselves and tell the rocks to shield them from the wrath of the lamb. With this in mind, where are we? Why would we, the church ask rocks or anything else to hide us from our Lord's wrath? We would'nt. The only way Rev 6:12-17 makes any sense is if we the church are not on earth. All those who are on earth at the time of Rev 6 are in dread of the coming wrath.

the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and EVERY bondman, and EVERY free man, that's everybody on earth right there.....

Where is the Church? hint: Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Worthy to escape how much? ESCAPE ALL....

I did'nt promise this, Jesus did....so pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy. I pray for us (all those in Christ) daily that we may indeed be counted worthy. Time is short, be watching, be ready...Grace and Peace

For I Know The Plans I Have For You

Jer 29:10-14 (NIV) This is what the Lord says: "When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my gracious promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile."

We serve a very wonderful God, however He expects alot, no half stepping. You find our God when you seek Him with ALL your heart. As I have said many times, you have to REALLY want Him, not kinda sorta. This would explain alot about what we see around us in this sick world. Of course people want heaven, who does'nt? But they are also really in love with the world. You can't love the world and love Jesus, He said it's one or the other.

James 4:4
You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Why choose the creation when you can have the Creator? Why choose this life when you can have eternal life? Why choose a few years spent enjoying sin when you can have an eternity of pleasures?

Psalm 36
King James Bible

1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.
4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

Drink of the river of thy pleasures? Yep, that's what it says. I'm not sure what's in that river but I want to find out....don't you? Grace and Peace

2 Choices

Men have 2 choices, eternal life or eternal death. That's it, it really is that simple. Yet, I think to myself, with choices like that, isn't there only 1 choice? Satan has so muddied the waters of people's minds, that they don't see things clearly, he has blinded the eyes of the disobedient. There are some though, actually many who have tasted the truth, then gone back to the world.

Heb6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Is eternal death a choice for you? For some of us, there is only one option: ETERNAL LIFE. Whatever it costs, whatever it takes, we must do what it takes to merit the kingdom of heaven. Eternal death, hell and torment are just NOT an option. Be watching, be ready, Grace and Peace

Blessed Are Those Servants

Luke 12: 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

Blessed is the group we want to find ourselves in, so we need to do what?

BE WATCHING

THEY ARE COMING, CAN YOU HEAR THEM?

UN Chief: Food Crisis Has Reached Emergency Proportions, Threatens Fight Against Poverty

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- A rapidly escalating global food crisis has reached emergency proportions and threatens to wipe out seven years of progress in the fight against poverty, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned Monday.
He called for short-term emergency measures in many regions to meet urgent food needs and avoid starvation and longer-term efforts to significantly increase production of food grains.
The "international community will also need to take urgent and concerted action in order to avoid the larger political and security implications of this growing crisis," Ban told international finance and trade officials who came to a U.N. meeting following weekend talks in Washington.
The secretary-general echoed World Bank President Robert Zoellick's appeal to governments on Sunday to quickly provide the U.N. World Food Program with $500 million in emergency aid that it needs by May 1.
Zoellick said the international community has "to put our money where our mouth is" to deal with rapidly rising food prices that have caused hunger and deadly violence in several countries.
Ban said the recent steep rise in food prices "has already raised the cost of WFP's needs to maintain its current operations from $500 million to $755 million."
WFP, the world's largest humanitarian agency, issued an "extraordinary emergency appeal" to donor countries for $500 million last month, saying the money was needed by May 1 to avoid cutting rations to some of the world's most impoverished regions. The Rome-based agency said its funding gap was growing weekly.
"The rapidly escalating crisis of food availability around the world has reached emergency proportions," Ban said.
"The World Bank has estimated that the doubling of food prices over the last three years could push 100 million people in low income countries deeper into poverty," he said.
Ban echoed Zoellick in warning that that the food crisis "could mean seven lost years in the fight against worldwide poverty."
The United Nations is at a midpoint in its campaign to reduce global poverty and improve living standards of the world's bottom billion. The Millennium Development Goals, adopted at a U.N. summit in 2000, include cutting extreme poverty by half by 2015.

Exposing Wolves

Last night this guy, Jentzen Franklin , was on the beast network (TBN) preaching about Moses. The moral of the whole story according to this wolf revolved (of course) around money. According to Jentzen Franklin what was so cool about the Moses story was that Pharoh paid all of Moses's bills while he was growing up, and Moses's real parents did'nt have to. At one point Franklin said "we need more pharohs!" I could'nt beleieve what I was hearing. IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY. Time is short, deception abounds, remain in the faith brothers and sisters-Grace and Peace

Take a Hard Look at Yourself

1 Tim4:15 of these things be careful; in these things be, that thy advancement may be manifest in all things; 16 take heed to thyself, and to the teaching; remain in them, for this thing doing, both thyself thou shalt save, and those hearing thee.

Think for a moment about the people in this world that you love/care about. The Word clearly tells us here that keeping ourselves on the narrow and straight path, in the faith is not only going to save you, but also those hearing you....

Think deeply about that....what an incredible responsibility. Each one of us has people,even if it's only one other person, who we have favor with, who we can speak to without barriers and shields up. This does'nt mean we ram anything down people's throats. Jesus never forced Himself on anyone.

This morning I was thinking about friends and family who are not in Christ yet, my heart was breaking thinking about them possibly suffering for eternity. Don't we want those we care about to be with us in heaven? We can forcefully advance the kingdom by starting with ourselves. Time is short, how do we know how much time is left? How many more prayers will we be able to offer up on behalf of those we love? I don't know, but let's be diligent, let us love with actions (prayer) and not just words. Grace and Peace be yours from God our Father and our Saviour Jesus Christ

They will not endure sound doctrine

2 Timothy 4 :3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.

What Does Wicked Mean?

Satan has deceived many, convincing them that they're not a "bad person" or wicked or evil. When most people think of a "wicked" person, what comes to their mind? Hitler? Stalin? President Bush? I imagine any number of other people might come to mind, just not themselves........What does the Lord consider "wicked?"

Jeremiah 13 :10 ‘This wicked people, who refuse to listen to My words, who walk in the stubbornness of their hearts and have gone after other gods to serve them and to bow down to them, let them be just like this waistband which is totally worthless.

The wicked refuse to listen to the Word of God, but they are more than happy to endlessly listen to the words of men, they have stubborn hearts, they have gone after other gods...that's what a wicked person is according to the Creator. According to that definition this world is FULL of the wicked. This calls for careful introspection, taking a really hard look at ourselves that we may be found at peace with the King of Kings. still in a cast, Grace and Peace

The Word of My Patience

Some interesting words the Lord uses here:

Rev 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

He says "I know thy works" yet instead of listing the things that the other churches did for works, He simply says "thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name." Then He talks about "keeping the word of my patience." This philidelphia church has a little strength, keeps Jesus's word, has not denied His name, and evidently...are patient. In days like today,when all the signs are pointing to Jesus' imminent return, its easy to get excited, and we should, but we must also remain patient. Patience is one of our cardinal virtues. m0y hand is still in a cast..hard to type..GRACE AND PEACE :-)

How Much Time Is Left?

The World Food Crisis
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/10/opinion/10thu1.html?_r=2&ref=opinion&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

Most Americans take food for granted. Even the poorest fifth of households in the United States spend only 16 percent of their budget on food. In many other countries, it is less of a given. Nigerian families spend 73 percent of their budgets to eat, Vietnamese 65 percent, Indonesians half. They are in trouble.
Last year, the food import bill of developing countries rose by 25 percent as food prices rose to levels not seen in a generation. Corn doubled in price over the last two years. Wheat reached its highest price in 28 years. The increases are already sparking unrest from Haiti to Egypt. Many countries have imposed price controls on food or taxes on agricultural exports.
Last week, the president of the World Bank, Robert Zoellick, warned that 33 nations are at risk of social unrest because of the rising prices of food. “For countries where food comprises from half to three-quarters of consumption, there is no margin for survival,” he said.
Prices are unlikely to drop soon. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says world cereal stocks this year will be the lowest since 1982.
The United States and other developed countries need to step up to the plate. The rise in food prices is partly because of uncontrollable forces — including rising energy costs and the growth of the middle class in China and India. This has increased demand for animal protein, which requires large amounts of grain.
But the rich world is exacerbating these effects by supporting the production of biofuels. The International Monetary Fund estimates that corn ethanol production in the United States accounted for at least half the rise in world corn demand in each of the past three years. This elevated corn prices. Feed prices rose. So did prices of other crops — mainly soybeans — as farmers switched their fields to corn, according to the Agriculture Department.
Washington provides a subsidy of 51 cents a gallon to ethanol blenders and slaps a tariff of 54 cents a gallon on imports. In the European Union, most countries exempt biofuels from some gas taxes and slap an average tariff equal to more than 70 cents a gallon of imported ethanol. There are several reasons to put an end to these interventions. At best, corn ethanol delivers only a small reduction in greenhouse gases compared with gasoline. And it could make things far worse if it leads to more farming in forests and grasslands. Rising food prices provide an urgent argument to nix ethanol’s supports.
Over the long term, agricultural productivity must increase in the developing world. Mr. Zoellick suggested rich countries could help finance a “green revolution” to increase farm productivity and raise crop yields in Africa. But the rise in food prices calls for developed nations to provide more immediate assistance. Last month, the World Food Program said rising grain costs blew a hole of more than $500 million in its budget for helping millions of victims of hunger around the world.
Industrial nations are not generous, unfortunately. Overseas aid by rich countries fell 8.4 percent last year from 2006. Developed nations would have to increase their aid budgets by 35 percent over the next three years just to meet the commitments they made in 2005.
They must not let this target slip. Continued growth of the middle class in China and India, the push for renewable fuels and anticipated damage to agricultural production caused by global warming mean that food prices are likely to stay high. Millions of people, mainly in developing countries, could need aid to avoid malnutrition. Rich countries’ energy policies helped create the problem. Now those countries should help solve it.

Articles like this one are now in our papers DAILY. Warning sign of what's to come? Not according to some.....just business as usual for them, what does the Word say?

2Peter3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

End of the world as we know it

You might feel fine, but high oil cost, scarcity mean American Empire is about to come crashing down Guy R. McPhersonUniversity of Arizona professorApr. 6, 2008 12:00 AM
Peak oil spells the end of civilization. And, if it's not already too late, perhaps it will prevent the extinction of our species.M. King Hubbert, a petroleum geologist employed by Shell Oil Co., described peak oil in 1956. Production of crude oil, like the production of many non-renewable resources, follows a bell-shaped curve. The top of the curve is termed "peak oil," or "Hubbert's peak," and it represents the halfway point for production.The bell-shaped curve applies at all levels, from field to country to planet. After discovery, production ramps up relatively quickly. But when the light, sweet crude on top of the field runs out, increased energy and expense are required to extract the underlying heavy, sour crude. At some point, the energy required to extract a barrel of oil exceeds the energy contained in barrel of oil, so the pumps shut down.
advertisement

Most of the world's oil pumps are about to shut down.We have sufficient supply to keep the world running for 30 years or so, at the current level of demand. But that's irrelevant because the days of inexpensive oil are behind us. And the American Empire absolutely demands cheap oil. Never mind the 3,000-mile Caesar salad to which we've become accustomed. Cheap oil forms the basis for the 12,000-mile supply chain underlying the "just-in-time" delivery of plastic toys from China.There goes next year's iPod.In 1956, Hubbert predicted the continental United States would peak in 1970. He was correct, and the 1970s gave us a small, temporary taste of the sociopolitical and economic consequences of expensive oil.We passed the world oil peak in 2005, and we've been easing down the other side by acquiring oil at the point of a gun - actually, guns are the smallest of the many weapons we're using - paying more for oil and destroying one culture after another as the high price of crude oil forces supply disruptions and power outages in Third World countries. The world peaked at 74.3 million barrels per day in May 2005. The two-year decline to 73.2 million barrels per day produced a doubling of the price of crude. Later this year, we fall off the oil-supply cliff, with global supply plummeting below 70 million barrels/day. Oil at merely $100 per barrel will seem like the good old days.Within a decade, we'll be staring down the barrel of a crisis: Oil at $400 per barrel brings down the American Empire, the project of globalization and water coming through the taps. Never mind happy motoring through the never-ending suburbs in the Valley of the Sun. In a decade, unemployment will be approaching 100 percent, inflation will be running at 1,000 percent and central heating will be a pipe dream. In short, this country will be well on its way to the post-industrial Stone Age.After all, no alternative energy sources scale up to the level of a few million people, much less the 6.5 billion who currently occupy Earth. Oil is necessary to extract and deliver coal and natural gas. Oil is needed to produce solar panels and wind turbines, and to maintain the electrical grid.Ninety percent of the oil consumed in this country is burned by airplanes, ships, trains and automobiles. You can kiss goodbye groceries at the local big-box grocery store: Our entire system of food production and delivery depends on cheap oil. If you're alive in a decade, it will be because you've figured out how to forage locally.The death and suffering will be unimaginable. We have come to depend on cheap oil for the delivery of food, water, shelter and medicine. Most of us are incapable of supplying these four key elements of personal survival, so trouble lies ahead when we are forced to develop means of acquiring them that don't involve a quick trip to Wal-Mart. On the other hand, the forthcoming cessation of economic growth is truly good news for the world's species and cultures. In addition, the abrupt halt of fossil-fuel consumption may slow the warming of our planetary home, thereby preventing our extinction at our own hand.Our individual survival, and our common future, depends on our ability to quickly make other arrangements. We can view this as a personal challenge, or we can take the Hemingway out. The choice is ours.For individuals interested in making other arrangements, it's time to start acquiring myriad requisite skills. It is far too late to save civilization for 300 million Americans, much less the rest of the planet's citizens, but we can take joy in a purpose-filled, intimate life. It's time to push away from the shore, to let the winds of change catch the sails of our leaky boat. It's time to trust in ourselves, our neighbors and the Earth that sustains us all. Painful though it might be, it's time to abandon the cruise ship of empire in exchange for a lifeboat.

Appoint Elders in Every City

Titus1:5 For this reason I left you in Crete, that you would set in order what remains and appoint elders in every city as I directed you,

Now, you know, I know, and churchianity definitely knows that were the Bible written according to the gospel today's apostianity preaches and practices, the bible would not read as it does above. How would the gospel according to apostianity read?

Titus1:5 For this reason I left you in Crete, that you would set in order what remains and appoint pastors in every city as I directed you,

but the bible does'nt say that does it? Why didn't Paul appoint "pastors" in every city? Elders are an afterthought in today's apostate christianity, the pastor calls the shots, runs the show, Why is that? I'll tell you why, because it's an apostate idolatrous system, and it's what todays so called christians want. Men want to honor and worship other men, not the Creator who is forever praised amen. Men want lies, not the truth. The love of the truth will set a man free, Jesus IS the truth. From the very beginning men have been rejecting God and embracing mankind. Consider:

1 Sam 8:1 And it came about when Samuel was old that he appointed his sons judges over Israel. 2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judging in Beersheba. 3 His sons, however, did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain and took bribes and perverted justice. 4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah; 5 and they said to him, “Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations.” 6 But the thing was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the LORD. 7 The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them. 8 “Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day—in that they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also.

Note carefully how the Lord judged this sin, He said "they have forsaken Me and served other gods" that's idolatry. Just exactly like today's pastoral system. People want a CEO/king/pastor to rule over them, not an invisible God. People want their flesh to be satisfied, they want to hear with their ears, see with their eyes, touch with their flesh. They don't want our God enough to commune with Him in the depths of the spirit.

Appointing a plurality of elders without some kind of CEO/pastor is what the bible calls for consistently. There is no mention anywhere of today's apostate CEO style church leadership which is what the pastoral system is all about. Come out of the harlot brothers and sisters, time is short. Grace, Mercy and Peace to you from God our Father and our savior Jesus Christ.

As Famine, Death, Hell and the Anti-christ approach, what will people do? The wise will take refuge in the Creator. He has made us many WONDERFUL promises. Consider these:

<< Psalm 37 >>

3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

We don't know exactly when the rapture will occur, but we do know it's before "the day of the Lord." With the day of the Lord coming into full view on the horizon, what will men do?

Time is short, repent, purify your minds and hearts in preparation to meet the Son of God, all glory and honor and praise and power be His forever and ever...AMEN

How Can So Many Be So Wrong?

I was watching The Beast Network (TBN) the other evening to see how the apostasy is progressing and Joel Osteen and wife were on. This guy is the poster child for everything that's wrong with today's apostianity. On the surface Joel seems to be a very likeable guy. If you listen long enough though, what he really is shows through. For example, Joel is REALLY in love with his "building," also known as the Compaq center, an arena. I was listening to something he said maybe a year ago where he was driving to "church" and along the way the arena came in sight and he leans over to his son, points to the arena and says, someday that will be yours, or something like that. The pride's under the surface. What was the original sin? Also, they refer to something they call the "Lakewood experience." Which is something that I guess you get at "their" church. It's an experience all right, multi-million dollar audio visual entertainment system, plush seating, almost like going to a Vegas show! Only problem is.....Jesus is'nt there. No Holy Spirit, but lots of entertainment! When the cameras pan around the inside of the "arena" that they call a church, I wondered to myself that SO MANY people could be so wrong, so blind. These are the people Jesus said He will spew from his mouth for being "lukewarm."

One of the primary calls I believe Jesus is making to this world today is to REPENT. Repentance is something you'll hear zero about at Lakewood. Why's that? Well because there's nothing wrong with you according to Joel. You just have to say self affirming things, keep your eyes on the positive, and all that "sin" and negativity stuff will just melt away! Unfortunately it all sounds like another, different gospel than the one I read about in the bible. Can a different gospel save a man's soul? I don't think so.

Lakewood Church, Joel and his wife look like the world, speak like the world, are friends with the world, act like the world (except for throwing around alot of churchianity's jargon), so is it such a stretch to say they are of the world? What does Jesus have to say about this?

1John2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Another thing, if you listen to Joel talk you almost NEVER hear the name Jesus. You hear ALOT about "god." God this, and god that. Well, Satan considers himself to be "god." So, which god are we talking about here. This is one of many tipoffs of the kind of wolf we're dealing with here. I think of God as my father, I call Him Lord, Master, Father. Yes, He is God, but I address him as a son, not as an outsider. I think I know why Joel throws around the word "god" so much and not father:

Ga 4:6
Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father."

2Co 6:18
"I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

Romans 8:14because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.[g] And by him we cry, "Abba,[h] Father." 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.

I'm not sure which spirit is leading Joel Osteen, but I HIGHLY doubt it's the Holy Spirit. He speaks of "god" as though he does'nt know god, certainly not as a loving father. Think about it.

Ok, time to clean the house, we are trying to sell, in today's market, you know we need the Lord's help, pray for us please. Grace and Peace

Food Crisis Being Felt Around The World
http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=412984

and writers saying things like this:
Then I got this really interesting email about UG99 wheat rust:
The best article is the farmandranchguide. I included some old sat. photos of how dust is moving around the planet. The one of Gobi Desert dust landing in Colorado, is particularly important. The rust has already spread globally. It will take about two years to fully become threatening. Once the spores reproduce, they will infest those areas for decades. Also note, the rust kills oats, barley and wheat. Few populations will be spared. Beer could also become expensive (there are severe restrictions on using fungicides on barley/hops, the residues kill the yeast).
There are some fungicides that can prevent or suppress the fungus, but those areas that are the most vulnerable, are least able to afford the cure. With so much of the global population dependent on 5-10 acre plots, they will be unable to utilize "modern technology as a North American farmer looking at $600 profits/acre. Spending $25 an acre is possible logistically and economically. That amount is insurmountable to a Pakistani farmer.
There exists a belief that Monsanto, Dupont and others, have nefarious reasons for including "suicide genes" into their proprietary seed strains. I personally know why they do it. It is business, not conspiracy. Let me explain.
I personally worked for several years, doing one very small part, in developing what was the world's best rice herbicide. We spent altogether, $230 million and 6 years bringing it to market. It was the most effective and safest discovered to date.
Consider developing a chemical that selectively kills only certain weeds or insects, while being able to spread it over large areas of the environment, on the very things people will eat, it is scientifically challenging beyond belief.
The herbicide was a money maker for sure. And of course we wanted to sell it in China. China stipulated that to sell it there, it had to be made there. Ok. So we built a plant. The workers (selected by the Chinese gov.), worked like dogs for 6 months. Then one day, nobody showed up for work.
Two weeks later, they were building "their" plant to make our chemicals that they had reversed engineered. They worked just long enough to steal everything they needed. They did not have time or money invested, so they undercut our price and drove us out of the country.
Again, I have worked helping to develop GMO seeds. If you do not include a "suicide gene", they just steal the hybrid. As you have said, the Global Business Environment is not a level playing field. If we steal from them, they sue us in our own courts. We are unable to do the same back. Separate case.
We have another well known product which we intentionally left out some key information in the patent. Sure enough, the Russians, Japanese and Chinese all reversed engineered the patent. They marketed their (ours) product as proof we were price gouging. Shortly afterward, theirs started to fail during use. All three went bankrupt and we ended up with a monopoly.
We also doubled our prices. Our little way of saying "f* you". Let me point out, we spent 23 years developing that product. That's right, 23 years. Little hard on the ATOI. (*methinks he meant ROI as we all know ATOI is ASCII to integer conversion in C++ - G)
Some background. I've spent 24 years doing Ag research, 12 of it doing Environmental Modeling of all economically relevant agriculture areas (globally). I looked at primarily Off-Target Impact of pesticides. This is how I learned about Global Warming before it became a buzz word. It is also why I put it all on the line, to jump into Fuel Cell research (reaction kinetics modeling), where I put in 6 years.. Bad move, different story.
Forget CO2 and global warming, it ain't us, but did not know it at the time. I still keep my hand in the modeling part. Which is why your time monks might be seeing a little of what I'm seeing. I think it is going to get real hungry out there, starting next year. (<----!!!!!! Note this point seriously!!!!! - G) 1. Severe food shortages in about two years. 2. The weak link in the food chain is not what you think. You'll have to "Google" it. Start with "Grain Elevators, bankrupt". They use Bridge Loans (credit) to buy billions of dollars worth of grain each year. Extrapolate this out to cattle feed lots (what do you think 100K head and feed cost x 1K feed lots). The credit is no longer there and you may see global famine, while bumper crops rot in the fields. The credit is from lower and mid-tier local banks. 3. One bushel of wheat for one barrel of oil 4. Commodity futures sounds swell, until the other side can not cover and walks on you. http://urbansurvival.com/week.htm

Clean up your act, get ready, the Lord stands ready at the door, will He find faith on earth when He comes? Grace and Peace

Proof of God's Existence

Romans 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse

The creation is proof of God's existence. I often wonder at the growing atheist movement. They criticize out faith in the Almighty Creator but if you ask them where all of creation came from they either say "i don't know" or evolution. The evolution crowd claims that all living things come from some single celled blob on a beach somewhere millions of years ago. Give the evolutionists credit, they believe in many more miracles than we Christians do. Consider all the miracles that had to happen for that one or however many single celled blobs to "evolve" into all the INCREDIBLY COMPLEX life forms seen in the world today. We humans are full of so many incredible systems that each system within us alone is a miracle. The nervous system, the digestive system, your brain, all "miracles" of evolution! Consider the bat, here's an animal that can fly and uses RADAR to hunt it's food. TALK ABOUT FAITH! Evolutionists can't prove anything, all they can do is theorize. Why did a bat get radar and 99% of other flying animals, insects did'nt? These are all questions evolutionists and atheists can't answer, and don't want to answer, yet when we Christians claim that a loving, all powerful, all knowing Creator created these things, we're ignorant fools? The proof is in the creation, look around. The level of complexity and intricate intelligent design is STAGGERING, one would have to be blind, or worse, willfully ignorant not to see it. Grace and Peace

How Short is Time?

I'll say it again, I have no idea of the day or hour just that time is short. How short? Well, let's do some back of the napkin calculations here. Many people look to the date Dec 21, 2012 as being the end of the world "as we know it." Not the literal end of the world, but something BIG happens at that time. We have no idea whether they are right or wrong, but think about their time frame for a minute. That date in 2012 is only like 4 years away. If someone were to tell you that you only had 4 more years to live on this earth, would you consider that "short?" I would. I am constantly warning anyone who will listen that "time is short!" I will continue to warn people until the Lord takes me out of this world. If the "day of the Lord" and rapture start today, would that mean time is short? Yea. If it's three years from now it still means time is short. All I know is something inside of me is now "turned on" like a lightswitch. I've been this way now for about a year, in a way I've never been in the past. I think the Lord has put me on notice, and I'm putting anyone else who will listen on notice, THERE'S NO TIME LEFT. Live like today might be your last, it may be, only the Lord knows. The time to get rid of any sin you've played around with for most of your life is TODAY. This is war, this is serious, the souls of men are on the line. Start praying like there's no tomorrow. Anything you've wanted to do for the Lord, but have put off for "tomorrow" think about doing it today.

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ

Last Chance To Repent

The Lord in His infinite mercy has allowed the world to fall into some economic hard times. Many people are losing their homes, people are out of work, people are going hungry. What's good about that you say? When times are good, people tend to forget about the Lord, when times are bad, people tend to cry out to Him for help. It's very possible that the economic downturn, the threat of war, bird flu, terrorism etc etc we are seeing today is a merciful "last chance" to turn back to the Creator, a last chance to repent before the rapture and all hell breaks loose on earth. How many will choose to turn back to their Creator?

Grace and Peace
