Unlimited Power

Ephesians 1:18 And that having the eyes of your heart full of light, you may have knowledge of what is the hope of his purpose, what is the wealth of the glory of his heritage in the saints, 19 And how unlimited is his power to us who have faith, as is seen in the working of the strength of his power, 20 By which he made Christ come back from the dead, and gave him a place at his right hand in heaven, 21 Far over all rule and authority and power and every name which is named, not only in the present order, but in that which is to come: 22 And he has put all things under his feet, and has made him to be head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the full measure of him in whom all things are made complete.

The Lord reminded me recently of how he likes to do things in this world. I've seen this way in my own life as well as throughout the bible. In stark contrast to men, the Lord is not troubled in the least by "overwhelming odds" here on earth. Remember the story of Gideon:

Judges 7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. 3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
4 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. 5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. 6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. 7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place. 8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

What happened there? The Lord basically says its not "how much, how many" or whatever else you have to fight with, its the Lord's power that wins the day and he can cause you to win out in any and every situation. Remember Psalm 91? 10,000 fall at your right hand, 1,000 at your left, but the danger won't touch you? Numbers don't matter, the situation does'nt matter. A failing economy does'nt matter, the housing mess does'nt matter, what does matter is that you believe...19 And how unlimited is his power to us who have faith, as is seen in the working of the strength of his power, 20 By which he made Christ come back from the dead

These days, either we get out of the boat and walk on the water with Jesus, or we get swamped by the storm and waves. There's less and less "wiggle room" these days. All the grey area is being sorted into black and white by pressure, by the storms of life. Playing church isn't going to cut it anymore. "Going to church" isn't going to cut in anymore. We have to BE the church, not "go to it." People don't have a problem with "going to church" but they seem to have real troubles "being" the church. Being the church=being "in Christ" because the church is actually the living, breathing body of the King of Kings. The church is not some man made organization, or social club, or feel-good society. It is an organic, living body.

Exercise your faith today, strengthen it for today and the days to come between now and the arrival of our Lord. The same power that was displayed to the world when Jesus was resurrected from the dead, is there for you if you believe. Your faith is worth more than all the riches and glory this world has to offer. We have a fortress, we have an ark, we have a King who is our shelter from the storm around us.

Do you believe he can and will do the things he said he would do? The way you answer that question will determine whether you stand above the storm and raging sea, or whether you sink below the waves. Testing is a part of this life, set your heart to pass the tests of life today. Refining by fire is part of our world today, the less impurity found within you, the less pain when the fire is applied. The escape is still ahead of us. The door in heaven (Rev 4) has not opened yet, but it will soon, be ready for it. Be found "in Christ" when Jesus arrives. Be a wise servant, a wise virgin (Matt 25). Time is short, grace and peace

A Note About Faith and Explaining Away the Anti-Christ

As the external pressures from the world exert themselves on us from without, we MUST increase out internal pressurization system outward, exerted by faith, to counteract it. If our internal faith "pressure" is not exerted to counteract the pressures coming in on you, you get crushed. If we do not stand on our faith, we will not stand at all.

Another way to look at what's happening today is a submarine going deeper and deeper into the sea. Subs have something known as "crush depth" at which point the hull can no longer withstand the external pressures. We as humans each have our own "crush depth" and like it or not, we're are all going deeper into this sea of tribulation (not THE tribulation) until the Lord pulls us out or we die out. As we wade in deeper, your faith will determine where your "crush depth" is. We are called to be soldiers for the Lord for a reason. A soldiers life is not an easy one. As we go deeper into this dark night in history, our faith must increase or we get crushed. The boat isn't safe anymore, the only place to be is walking on the water, outside the boat with Jesus. That takes faith. It will take faith to lay hold of the promises of God for the future. It will take faith to take part in the escape (luke 21:36). It will take faith to enter the gates of heaven.

Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man, remember that one (Mstt 24, Luke 17)?

I have no doubt in my mind, heart, soul or spirit that IF YOU BELIEVE...and I mean really believe deep down inside in the "no fakes allowed" zone, you can expect to see miraculous provision for you and your family during this storm we are living in today. Miraculous provision does not mean chest of gold coins falling into your back yard. What it does mean is your daily bread...

Do you remember God feeding Israel in the desert with Manna? How did it work? They went out DAILY to pick the manna up. If they tried to gather for more than a day it rotted. Daily bread....

Matt 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Your faith is being tested today, our faith is being tested min by minute, hour by hour, and it will be tested until the day we are taken out or die out, whichever comes first. Whatever can be shaken will be shaken, so dig deep and plant roots that cannot be shaken. That is something for you and the Lord alone, there must be real relationship or all bets are off. Many will say to him on that day "Lord Lord" and you don't want to be on the wrong side of his reply.

Explaining Away the Anti-Christ

There are many today who have the anti-christ 'all figured out' so they 'know' that he can't come from America. They guesstimate his national origin and what country he must come from so he could 'never' arise in America right? Wrong. First of all, we live in Babylon, which is America, which is a melting pot of every tribe tongue, culture, nationality on earth. Second, as an example, did you know that Obama has bloodline ties with Dick Cheney and George Bush? The lame stream media gave that story about 1 second worth of exposure then buried it. What a coincidence huh?
http://www.nypost.com/seven/10172007/news/regionalnews/dissing_cousins__obama__cheney.htm

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/16/AR2007101602362.html

or just google it for yourself.

So..where does that bloodline run back to?
http://watch.pair.com/dragon-lineage.html

But the beast could never arise out of america because all the 'experts' know where he has to come from?...uh...right..there are lawsuits still active to this day hinging on the real whereabouts of Obama's origin. Do you find it curious at all that nobody can produce a birth certificate for this guy? We are handed the convenient options of hawaii and kenya to argue over, but who says, who can prove legally where the guy is really from? He could have been spawned in hell for all we know, no birth certificate=open mystery. How convenient, and it did'nt slow him down taking over the reigns of babylon by a single second.

We've already covered the 10 kings argument, the 10 kings likely already exist but don't get actual kingdoms until the "Hour" appointed for them to hand over their power to the beast. Ever heard of the United Nations 10 Bio Regions? The EU is one, the North American Union is another..etc

The anti-christ is also known as "the king of the North." How far out on a limb do we have to reach in order to pull up a map and see America...specifically on a map NORTH America? North America? King of the North? And by the way, the armies of the "King of the North" are today scattered across the countries of most of the world. America's..babylon's armies are everywhere.

As we observed yesterday, there will be continual efforts to point your attention, anywhere but here.. it's the EU, no no, its rome and the catholic church, no no, wait..its Syria and Iran..no no wait....its reborn assyria...no wait, its etc etc etc anywhere and everywhere BUT HERE.

All the greatest magicians know that misdirection pulls off the trick. Keep the attention away from where the real magic is happening and you've got 'magic.' We have been told over and over that the end times will be all about deception. Deception is the hallmark of our age. Lies, deceit, and deception. Who among the so called christian church wants to admit they are a babylonian church? That's what they are. Who wants to admit they are a nicolaitan "conquer the laity" pastor, whose deeds and teachings are hated by Jesus (rev 2-3)? Who wants to admit to being a key player in an idolatrous system that glorifies men (the pastoral system)? Our God said that he WILL NOT SHARE HIS GLORY OR HIS PRAISE WITH IDOLS..

Isaiah 42:8 "I am the LORD, that is My name; I will
... "I am the LORD, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images.

If our God will not share his glory or praise with graven images, how much less with living images? If a 'pastor' is 'idolized' even 1% of the time he is standing over and above the sheep pontificating, that's stolen worship, stolen praise, that's idolatry. What do you here 'pastors' saying one of the main things they have to fight against? PRIDE...why? The system is IDOLATROUS, that's why. They can feel the adoration directed toward them and PRIDE feeds off it like a cancer.

There is NO 'clergy/laity' system in the true church. We are all different parts of the same organic living body. I'm a toe, you are a hand or whatever. There is no place, zero for the hand to boast over the toe or vice-versa. The head of the body, which is Christ, rules over the entire body. Men did'nt like that system, so as the history of men goes, they made their own system. The 'priest/pastor' system that rules over the "lay people." Whenever I hear that word "Layperson" I want to gag, seriously, who do these people think they are? They are laity conquerers, which is what "nicolaitan" literally means in latin. They will have much to answer for. It does'nt matter how nice a guy, how good a speaker, how knowledgeable of the bible these pastors are, the fact that they participate in a babylonian idolatrous system will be answered for.

Everything that's important for you to know has been buried as deep as men could bury it so you can't see it. Everything you don't need to know is plastered all over the newspapers and webpages of the lamestream media on an hourly, or even minute to minute basis. For example, I just clicked over to MSN.com and the headline story today is "Oprah interviews 7 foot 3 boy to discuss rare mysterious condition." That's what you really needed to know today isn't it?

The dark clouds of the approaching tribulation storm are already over our head today. My spiritual sense is that our faces will be pressed right up against the looking glass that divides the 7 year tribulation with the ordinary storm days we are living in today. As we believe, so shall it be done unto us. An escape from all has been promised and we were told to pray for it. I pray for you, for my family and for myself that we may be counted worthy of the escape that is coming. Remain "in Christ," grace and peace
