Musings and Ramblings of Tee

THINK "Globally" but ACT "Locally"

2012-02-09T17:34:00.003-05:00

When I was a college student, I was certain that whatever I would be doing in the world, it would be something big -- involving nationwide policies, or (this was my real dream) influencing and ultimately bringing peace and justice to the whole entire world. As a youth, I had witnessed poverty, abuse, and injustice on every scale imaginable. My determination for a better life gave me DRIVE and HOPE. My determination to rid the world of the evil I had seen propelled me to not only survive my childhood, but to thrive for "others" sake...who I knew in this GREAT NATION America other children were "caught" also.

I don't remember an awful lot about my childhood, but there are moments that stand out for me which I held onto like a twig in a raging river to keep from drowning. I lived a double life. Monday through Friday at home with my mom, I went to school, and came "home" to a living Hell on Earth with Medusa at the Head of the Household. Then, on the weekends come Friday evening after school let out I was out of there. My mother eager to be rid of me permitted visitation with extended family. Thankfully my grandmother, Aunt Virginia and Uncle Ed would retrieve me where I was introduced to Heaven on Earth as they did the best they could to relieve me from the fiery furnace of trials and tribulations of my week. Calmness on Friday Night, Education on Saturdays and Church on Sundays. My grandmother was quite the spiritual woman, and to sit at her feet in her presense in His presense while she read the Bible to me was my "safe" refuge hidden in the wilderness. Then, when I was with My Uncle Ed and Aunt Virginia...wow. My Aunt was the best cook ever! Fresh food she had canned right from the garden Uncle Ed planted were flavorful luxeries fit for a Queen..

Then, Uncle Ed would let me into his sacred closet after Saturday mornings cutting grass, and working in the Garden-Weed'en and Harvesting. In that closet was years and years of National Geographics. I was amazed at the places I could travel to with the aid of pictures and stories and never have left that closet on Saturdays. Then Sunday would roll around and off we all went to Church...althought I was too young to really remember much of the "lesson" from the pulpit...the greatest lessons I learned were in the "safety" of the presense of The Lord and those in whom He obviously resided. I only remember how they represented the fulfillment of my highest possible aspiration that one day I would also return to stand behind that same podium as a person who had succeeded in making the world a much better place teaching of Love, and Christ in all those places I saw in the pages of The National Geographic Magazines in my youth.

To this end, I began my college studies setting out to major in English and Religion, and dreamed of working for the PEACE CORPS or a Foreign Service and climbing my way up into the upper echelons of international policy makers and shakers. I dreamed of introducing democracy and Christianity to to far away lands. I dreamed of sharing with others what FREEDOM was as I knew the bondage of Monday-Friday, and then FREEDOM on the weekends. I dreamed of making sure no child ever had to go hungry or abused. I dreamed that no child would have to endure the sexually crossed boundaries where innocence was preyed upon for adult pleasure. I dreamed of sharing Love with the world. I dreamed of bringing peace and understanding amongst people all over the world, and to make those people I saw in the National Geographics smile...cause they all looked so sad. I dreamed of teaching sustainable living and gardening where no one would ever have to live in poverty and go to bed hungry at night which no child or adult should ever have to endure. Mostly, I dreamed of representing HOPE for others that no matter how bad life seemed at the moment it will get better.

Despite my sincere desire to save the world, I never managed to move past rhetoric and idealism to meaningful action. In the end, as you might have suspected, my life has followed a very different path from the one I had envisioned for myself. I never finished college. I had to drop out right in the middle..go to work, then return to school, drop out, go to work...then HONOR THY MOTHER came calling. Some of you already know the story of my mom, and her dying, and my Heavenly Father using me to locate her "adopted out " child and leading mom to breaking the bondage the devil had her in all her life and the reason for the HELL I grew up in. So, I won't go there in this post except to say, when HONOR calls..please Answer. For what was the be the biggest challenge of my life, moving through forgiveness and healing through the pain of my mother, I in the end with the compassion and love of God healed her, and she died in my arms at peace, and in love with The Lord.

My own life experience has taught me the wisdom of "Think Globally, Act Locally" approach. Looking back, I now realize the MAGNITUDE of the "smallest" ACT from sitting at my grandmothers feet to my Uncle Ed's closet full of prized years of collecting National Georgraphics that he could have said "No" you can't mess with them. Instead, his one YES...opened up a WORLD of potential for me. The one yes, of the school friend who parents said YES, when you are ready to leave home, you can live with us and finish high school. Those tiny minute ACTS, caused a ripple in the continum of my life...and Christianity has taught me that all ACTS are either building UP people and granting LIBERTY, or they are tearing DOWN people and placing into BONDAGE. All other ACTS are either for providing an "enviroment" which fosters HOPE or threatens DISPAIR. Where LOVE is absent FEAR sets in.

These are the fine lines of living. No one can legislate morality. But what should happen in SOCIETY is just the things I had at times as a child...A SAFE HAVEN, A SAFE REFUGE from "tryanny", and a PLACE where I could grow into THE PERSON GOD intended me to be.

No, I never got to stand behind a pulpit sharing with a body of folks all about God and Christs Love. You see I grew up in a Baptist religion and was told there are no WOMEN preachers...so that dream got shot down very early. Being poor I never got alot of the "opportunities" afforded others. BUT there existed inside this "well-spring" lying dormant until just the right ingredients came long which brought it to the surface and in like manner of the twig of HOPE I held onto as a child, I held on that my VOICE MATTERS. Several years ago I decided to GIVE all my life to Christ to be used, and I began to share my heart and my voice with you gathered here ..one by one you listened. Lately I have decided to move more into the realm of taking Christs spirit and taking my voice and using it politically leading and sharing. For we are to provide a SAFE HAVEN from tyranny, and that is what America is to me, and its time to root out the "ELEMENTS" of EVIL which threaten that. We have a DUTY to VOTE, to get involved. Whether it is our calling to TAKE OFFICE, or not, we have a duty to GET CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLED people whose CALLING it is INTO OFFICE...and to CLEAN HOUSE.

I cannot live someone else's life for them nor can I fix them. I have been Johnny Appleseed many times in my life, mainly to those in emotional pain who truly need assistance to help them try to make some sense out of this world . I have had many wonderful teachers including the man sitting along the side of the street with dirty clothes on. Everyone has a story, talking to them is like opening a book. I have shared a part me with you today.

So these lessons and teachers are handing the baton to you now. All you have to do is pick it up and run with it!

Whatever you want to be, to have, to "become"---be it a harmonious family life, a courageous mindset, more energy to get the job done, passion FOR life, a joyous and carefree existence, loving relationship---whatever! But there are only 2 ways to go---learn on your own, from your own mistakes or learn from others and shorten the learning curve...that has always been my best teacher.

Great men and women rest one hand on the shoulder of the other for SUPPORT with the other stretched out behind "to help" a straggler. Small men and women put all their weight upon the backs of others with both hands out in "entitlement" indifferent to the sufferings and plights of others~concerned ONLY for self...and the relief of their pain.

At any given time, I have one hand resting on the shoulder of another by Grace, and I AM reaching out my hand to you. Take it and I'll do my best to lead you on a journey of self-discovery and growth taking you over or around obstacles and stumbling blocks in the path. Ready? Great! Then...let' begin with the journey and always remember our pact---TRUST IN THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE...the cues and clues are there for your journey...but KNOW it is YOUR journey YOU must take.
UNITED "tightly knit" WE can do all things through Christ who strengthens (in those bit difficult times). Yes, TO DO "righteousness" is a definite determinant of Character and of The Greatest of Virtues next to Love...which is COURAGE in my humble opinion. As I look back over my own life, I can single out the important role that courage played in ALL my struggles, wrestling right and wrong to arrive to a place of righteousness.

FRUIT, Testing "The Fruit" so that you may KNOW 'them" by their FRUIT

2012-01-29T13:08:00.002-05:00

Fruit in the Hebrew word is - פְּרִי, the transliteration is -pĕriy. Its meanings are fruit; produce (of the ground)

fruit, offspring, children, progeny (of the womb)

fruit (of actions) (fig.) In this study we will be looking at this word and believe me, I doubt your church will teach you it's meaning to the fullest so I felt lead to bring it to you. One reason being, the key of David is linked to one of it's meanings and our Father favors only the churches of today that show it or teach it to you. Ref. - Isaiah 22:22 and Revelation 3:7

Genesis 1:11

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

This is the literal "Fruit tree" and every fruit has a "seed" in it, as to drop on the ground and become a new plant of its same bearer of the seed. Flowers have male parts called stamens that produce a sticky powder called pollen. Flowers also have a female part called the pistil. To be pollinated, pollen must be moved from a stamen to the stigma. This leads to the creation of new seeds that grow into new plants.

Genesis 1:27

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

This "creation" happened on The sixth day!, for the races on earth today. There was another that Christ Jesus would come through made on the 8th day. You can plainly see we are made just like God, with arms and legs and a base or trunk to put our heads on. We call the arms and legs or another word, limbs. Just like a tree. Women and man have seed also. With this we can multiply the earth as He told us to. Therefore, contrary the political correctness that exists today, you must have these two kinds of beings to multiply. MALE & FEMALE ONLY! Therefore this in its very NATURE speaks to the "homosexual" question as to whether its SIN or not. Anything that goes AGAINST the Law of God IS "sin". There is a NATURAL "order" to the CREATION of Life and the "ability" to multiply set forth in the CREATION of male and female bringing forth "fruit".

Genesis 2:9

And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

"The Tree of Life" = This is Christ Jesus as He is the only way to life everlasting. Please read for yourself in Gen. 3:22, "the tree" of THE KNOWLEDGE of "good and evil" = Satan as he knows both his plan for evil and the good planned by God for redemption. What fruit we chose to partake of is up to us. What is this fruit?

Genesis 2:17

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Use your knowledge of God's Word here. To partake of Christ, you know He is The bread of life you eat of. His fruits=works are good for us to live by. You take this fruit = actions of satan, where he and you know good but choose evil, you will "surely die". Ultimately "in the end" we are talking on the "seeds" of evil (spiritually) being The New World Order, and ultimtely leading to worshipping The Anti-Christ. For he "fathered" children "seed" and they do The Devils bidding as we do Our Fathers bidding (John 8:44).

Genesis 3:2-3

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

This "serpent" isn't a literal snake in reptilian form but the action of something low down and sneaky as a snake would be. It is just another one of Satans names for what he is doing at the time (fruit). Common sense tells you this even when you look at Revelations speaking of the dragon. I know your not looking for a dragon as that animal doesn't exist. Therefore, once again in the future it is speaking of what he satan is doing at that time (fruit).

Genesis 3:6

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

She took the "fruit" - actions of Satan because he was so beautiful to her eyes and called her husband to join with her and they together were fooled into satans tricks. Satan can be "whatever he wants to be" to Deceive God's Children and rob them of their heritage in Christ.

Genesis 3:7

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

What in the world could they possibly have done too let them see they are "naked" and to have them make something to cover the sexual parts of your body? Also in this I don't think that they were saying their "physical" eyes were opened. Obviously Eve's physical eyes were opened as she SAW how beautiful Satan was to the eyes and "partook". Again, good ole common sense prevails in this that we are speaking here of "spiritual" eyes being open. Up until this point they were "innocent", but Satan having the KNOWLEDGE of Gods Plan of Salvation (good) he "tried to interfer" by mixing in his "seed" (evil).

Genesis 3:13

And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

The word "beguilded" - נָשָׁא - Hebrew word = to beguile, deceive. He – satan, fooled her- Eve and Adam. Look how many today are fooled in what is bad being called good.

Genesis 3:15

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

There is much in this. Stay FOCUSED HERE and read as many times as you want and NEED TO in order to let this sink into the "tastebud of your mind".

Lets go back to the first two verses we posted about "fruit" and "seed". How do we get a "seed"? and in this verse you have the first prophecy of God's word. satan will be crushed and Christ Jesus upon crucifixion had His heels bruised. What is "enmity" - אֵיבָה- Hebrew word, 'eybah = hatred, to divide or separation. Look closely "between THEE = satan and the women" and "between THY=satan seed and her seed> so with this plainly you can see to deferent seeds were planted. What is the next verse? will it relate to this?

Genesis 3:16

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

I will let you decide!

Genesis 3:24

So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Our Father said they take that fruit and they would die. Our Father also had the "Tree of life" still there and with Him you can have life. He sets the way to forgiveness even then. He drove them out, now what happens because of that seed being planted?

Genesis 4:1-2

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

Notice the word "again" this is a continuation of the event of birth. You know as well as I the fruits = actions of "Cain" was bad and "Abel’s" is good. This isn't the beginning of The Key of David but was with The Adam and Eve and continues with the birth of Seth.

Genesis 4:25

And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

At this time you know Cain had killed his brother and was sent out to be with out this family. God gave Adam another "seed" = child. Cain was sent to be with another. Yep, there where others. The trees = people in the garden were not the only ones. And there where others outside that garden as the whole world is a garden but just not "The Garden". The word “The” gives a specific meaning to the word. If I ask you to hand me "The" pen and there are 10 laying there, which one do you hand me? Ok, proof there where others. Genesis 4:13-17

Psalm 92:14

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

Here we see, you follow Christ and what is right in the sight of our Father, you are producing good fruits and for it you live a long life and you will prosper in doing good works.

Psalm 104:13

He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

Our Father does the watering of the peoples of the earth that follow Him in what they do. With water and fruit will grow. His Word and wisdom gives us the path to take in life with which we work for good, not evil.

Proverbs 1:31

Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

Even the bad produce fruits. The difference is it is a bad fruit. This is saying, you will get what you reap. You do bad and bad will come on you. Yep! There are two kinds of fruit and the outcome is reward or punishment.

Proverbs 10:16

The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

What do you produce each day? Do you have good fruits? Are your actions each day for the good or bad? If your not doing what is right, the outcome of which is nothing but death.

Proverbs 18:21

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Our words are actions as well. For the good of helping others or for to curse others.

Isaiah 3:10

Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

Reap Reward!

Isaiah 27:6
He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

This goes back to that meaning of the seed being birth and furthering of the Key of David in this. See Isaiah 22:22 and Revelation 3:7

Hosea 10:13

Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

What do you do in this life and whom do you walk with everyday is what makes your fruit flourish or wilt. Put your faith in God and once you study His Word, your fruits will become big and sweet.

Matthew 3:8

Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

Change of heart? Repent and change your actions is what is being said here.

Matthew 3:10

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Yep, you got it! Same meaning here as in The garden of Edenin Genesis where the trees are people. Evil people are to be done away with. Put to the fire and put out of the minds of the just. Gone! Up in smoke "blotted out of having ever existed".

Matthew 7:16

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Hey, some will say, "you are not to judge" well I tell you, you had better judge accordingly as to not have them destroying the building you are doing in a good life. John 7:24, judge in righteousness.

Matthew 7:17

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

What kind of tree are you? What we do each day determines what kind of tree we are.

Matthew 7:18

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

This is why, when you judge in righteousness you can see who is good by their fruits. What we do in life defines us and shows others what an AUTHENTIC Christian is versus a Nomial Christian.

Matthew 7:19

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

You don't want evil in the garden to come. Heaven is a place for good not bad. Everyone has been given a fare chance. In the end the weeds and trees that didn't produce good fruit is of no use because of infections or disease of the garden.

Matthew 13:23

But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

The seed spoken of in this verse is God's Word. Mathew 13 is a parable of The seed sower and the fruit that comes from a seed to good ground will produce. For those who are open to The words of Christ Jesus, their “soil” will respond to the “seed” or message of the Kingdom.

Luke 1:42

And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

Mary's womb became Christ Jesus, The Fruit = action, of God.

John 15:4

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

Christ Jesus being that vine, you being a branch of Him and you can not help but bear good fruits in life. If not, you will be pruned off and thrown into the fire.

John 15:8

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

You don't have to do what it is I do. What you do need to do is be kind, show love and be merciful to those in need. Open a door and give a smile. Study your Fathers letter to you, The Bible. Tell your Father you love Him and show it with your fruits. Gather your clothing you don't use and give it to someone that could use it. Buy a meal and give it to someone standing on a corner begging for money. Use common sense when doing God's work and bless others.

Romans 6:21

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

Truth in you now! Then put away the evil things you had done, because you are born from above and are new. The evil is put away, because it will bring only death. What's next?

Romans 6:22

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Do what is right, because Christ is right. He came to show us the way. He is light and we can see the darkness now. He set a path; we walk it as to not trip in an evil world. How could you not do well when you’re on that path.

Galatians 5:22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Our Fathers actions are always "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, faith", as he cares for us and wants the best for you and me everyday. Know this though; He is not going to force us to show the same. A child that refuses to obey is on his own. If not you chance corrupting the other children.

Ephesians 5:9

(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

Everything our Father does is right. There is NO wrong in Him. He gave us the way and in Him is truth.

Philippians 1:11

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Thank our Father everyday with actions = your fruits and with words knowing truth is in you.

Philippians 1:22

But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

Living for the day or worldly way. Ignoring God, well what can I say? Your dreaming tree has died. Repent and live for God and your tree is made new. Your branch will grow. You will be grafted in, growing from within. Producing fruit for what is good.

Revelation 18:14

And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

What do you want? Is all you see is the worldly? The time is fast approaching us all and that we will not see time, but will see God. . Your sight was blurred but when this time is over you see clearly. What did you do, caries you through for to receive reward or punishment.

I pray you hear,

Matthew 25:21“His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”

Blessings!

"Standing" Repairing the Breach: Plaintiffs vs Obama in Eligibility CASE...whats next?

2012-01-27T12:09:00.002-05:00

The establishment media are not reporting this. Help make this news go viral!
Living in the Great State of Georgia, many have emailed me asking for more details on what took place yesterday as it seems very little information is being made PUBLIC. I have spent the morning piecing together an account of Yesterday's Hearing, as well as praying on where this could take us a Citizens of America United for Justice. There is an ACT that took place yesterday reminiscent of David and Goliath.

Something extraordinary and historic happened yesterday in my State of Georgia.

On January 26, 2012, an administrative law judge in Atlanta, Georgia, conducted a hearing into whether a sitting President of the United States of America who’s seeking re-election should be allowed to have his name be placed on the electoral ballot of the state of Georgia this November.

In early January 2012, Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi of the Administrative Court in Georgia, ruled that Obama’s motion to dismiss four eligibility lawsuits is denied. The judge also denied a motion filed by Obama’s attorney, Michael Jablonski, for Obama to not appear at the first hearing yesterday. Mere hours before yesterdays hearing, Obama's attorney Jablonski tried a desperate ploy to avoid the hearingby sending a letter to Georgia’s Secretary of State Brain Kemp, arguing that the trial be taken away from Judge Malihi. Kemp denied Jablonski’s appeal.

So, how was No Show Obama allowed to walk around a free man after snubbing the State court by not attending yesterdays hearing after both the Judge and Secretary of State denied motions to not be in attendance?

In the previous year, the adamant refusal to verify and investigate Obama’s eligibility a grand conspiracy in all appearance — by the Democratic and Republican parties, the Supreme Court, the U.S. Army, the Social Security Administration and, of course, the media has been like sneezing in the wind.Beginning in 2008, a succession of attorneys and citizens brought lawsuit after lawsuit before state courts, challenging Barack Obama’s constitutional eligibility to be President. In each case, Obama’s hired guns — at a reported cost of $2 million in attorney fees — filed motions to dismiss. And in case after case, the presiding judge agreed with the defendant, Obama, and dismissed the lawsuits on the grounds that the plaintiffs all lacked “standing.”

In law, “standing” refers to the legal right to initiate a lawsuit. To do so, a person must be sufficiently affected by the matter at hand, and there must be a case or controversy that can be resolved by legal action. Although Obama’s eligibility pertains to nothing less than the integrity of the United States Constitution, and although the eligibility plaintiffs include Alan Keyes (a 2008 presidential candidate), retired and active U.S. military officers, and “ordinary” U.S. citizens, judge after judge nevertheless dismissed the lawsuits on the grounds that the plaintiffs had no “standing."

Obama and his attorney Jablonski's middle finger approach to abiding to the courts mandate bears witness to his Elitist ABOVE We The "ordinary" People of the great State of Georgia attitude. Virtue is best seen in ACTION not theory! Yet, who showed up? VIRTUE! At long last, one judge breaking forth from peers "standing" in the gap in Honor ALLOWING evidence to be presented, and "judging" BASED on "weighing" the EVIDENCE not "silencing" the case.

Therefore, yesterday the hearing would go as planned, beginning at 9:00 am, EST at the Fulton County Superior Court. At 9:03 am, a court clerk came out and summoned the four attorneys to the judge’s chamber. They remained secluded for almost half an hour. At around 9:25 am, the four attorneys returned to their seats in the courtroom. Shortly after, Judge Michael Malihi came into the courtroom and began the hearing.

In The State of Georgia a "No Show" in a hearing becomes "by default" a WIN and this is why the attorneys were summoned to the judge’s chamber . Judge Malihi was prepared to enter a default judgment in favor of the plaintiffs because neither the defendant, Barack Obama, nor his lawyer Michael Jablonski even so much as bothered grace the courtroom with their presense. Imagine that! It's not like they hadn't tried to NOT ATTEND so its obvious the contempt for the law by their actions.

Yet, being wiser than the ole serpent, the attorneys for the plaintiffs persuaded the judge to conduct the hearing any way because they wanted to present their arguments so that those arguments would be entered into the court’s records. That was smart of them. Given the fact that, even before the hearing began, Judge Malihi already was prepared to rule against the defense, I think it’s safe to assume that he will rule in the plaintiffs’ favor in the end.

The following are from TWO WITNESSES on the scene at Hearing:

First account from Dean Haskins and Second Account from Carl Swensson

Update: Obama's Georgia Ballot Hearing: Judge Wanted To Immediately Enter Default Judgment Against Obama

As we are trying to get a quick lunch, and then do some interviews, this is just a very brief synopsis of what happened. Before the hearing started, the judge called the attorneys into his chambers and explained that he was going to enter a default judgment in their favor. Attorneys Hatfield and Irion requested to be able to present abbreviated versions of their arguments so that they would be on the record. At that point, Irion estimated he would need 20 minutes, Hatfield estimated he would need 30 minutes, and Taitz estimated she would need 2 hours.

Van Irion and Mark Hatfield made their arguments, and left. Taitz then presented her argument, calling several witnesses, until the judge asked her to make her closing statement. As her closing statement began, the judge asked if she was testifying, and, in an unconventional move, Taitz took the witness stand to testify. The judge finally asked her just to make her closing statement, which she did.
We believe that the default judgment automatically translates into the judge's recommendation to the Sec. Of State being that Obama should not appear on the ballot in Georgia. Back to work . . . more to come!

UPDATE: From Plaintiff, in one of the Georgia challenges, Carl Swensson: To all my friends in battle,

The Judge pulled the lawyers for the three cases into chambers before it all began and advised them that he would be issuing a default judgment in our favor, since the Defense council failed to show, and wanted to end it there. We argued that all the evidence needed to be entered in to record so the Judge allowed for a speedy hearing where all evidence was entered into the court record. What that means is this… Any appeal, if one is even possible, would be based on the evidence provided by the lawyers in each case. Both Van Irion and My lawyer, Mark Hatfield made certain that our cases and evidence in those two cases would be closed so as not to be affiliated, in any way, with “Birther” Orly Taitz. As expected, she was an embarrassment.

Now we’re merely awaiting the publishing of this Judge’s ruling which, as previously stated, will be a Default Judgment. - Carl

In conclusion of this "account" of what took place in a Courtroom in The State of Georgia on January 26, 2012, I want to touch on the "repairing the breach" and "standing". As LEGALLY defined if your recall, "standing" refers the legal right to initiate a lawsuit. To do so, a person must be sufficiently affected by the matter at hand, and there must be a case or controversy that can be resolved by legal action.Dr. Orly Taitz is one of the valiant attorneys leading the charge. But who are all the cast in this "standing" Declaration?

A judge in Georgia has done what all previous judges refused to. Michael Malihi, Deputy Chief Judge of the Administrative Court in Georgia, just ruled in four eligibility cases that Obama’s motion to dismiss is denied. This means that Obama will have to stand trial and prove his eligibility for office!

The four lawsuits are:
■David Farrar, Leah Lax, Cody Judy, Thomas Malaren, Laurie Roth vs. Barack Obama (Taitz is the counsel representing the plaintiffs David Farrar et al.)
■David P. Welden vs. Barack Obama (Counsel for the plaintiff is another valiant attorney Van R. Irion.)
■Carl Swensson vs. Barack Obama (Counsel for the plaintiff is J. Mark Hatfield.)
■Kevin Richard Powell vs. Barack Obama (Counsel for the plaintiff is J. Mark Hatfield)Representing the defendant, Barack Obama, in all four cases is high-powered attorney Michael Jablonski, who is also the General Counsel for the Democratic Party of Georgia.

This is the ruling of Deputy Chief Judge Michael Malihi:
ORDER ON MOTION TO DISMISS

On December 15, 2011, Defendant, President Barack Obama, moved for dismissal of Plaintiffs’ challenge to his qualifications for office. The Court has jurisdiction to hear this contested case pursuant to Chapter 13 of Title 50, the “Georgia Administrative Procedure Act.” For the reasons indicated below, Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss is DENIED.

The most important reasons for Judge Malihi’s ruling are Nos. 6-8:
6.
Code Section 21-2-5(a) states that “every candidate for federal and state office” must meet the qualifications for holding that particular office, and this Court has seen no case law limiting this provision, nor found any language that contains an exception for the office of president or stating that the provision does not apply to the presidential preference primary. O.C.G.A. 21-2-5(a) (emphasis added). Although the word “candidate” is not explicitly defined in the Code, Section 21-2-193 states that the political party for the presidential preference primary “shall submit to the Secretary of State a list of the names of the candidates of such party to appear on the presidential preference primary ballot.” O.C.G.A. 21-2-193 (emphasis added). Accordingly, this Court finds that Defendant is a candidate for federal office.
7.
Code Sections 21-2-190 to 21-2-200 set out the procedures of the presidential preference primary and also provide no exception to the Section 21-2-5 qualification requirement. This Court finds no basis under Georgia law why the qualification requirements in Section 21-2-5 would not apply to a candidate for the office of the president in the presidential preference primary.
8.
Accordingly, this Court finds that Defendant is a candidate for federal office who has been certified by the state executive committee of a political party, and therefore must, under Code Section 21-2-5, meet the constitutional and statutory qualifications for holding the office being sought.

Which leads the judge to issue his decision:

II. Decision

Based on the foregoing, the motion to dismiss is DENIED.
SO ORDERED, this the 3rd day of January, 2012.

When we look at this great Nation and upon its founding, I can still hear it ringing out in grievances brought against the King during The Declaration of Independence...when valiant men and women "standing" declaring as a People no longer shall we be called Virginians nor Georgians ...We are AMERICANS. So this move in Georgia is not For GEORGIA, but FOR AMERICA. It "involves" alot MORE THAN 'just' Obama's eligibility. It is "standing" and "repairing the breach" on an initial level.

IN THIS CASE YESTERDAY:
1. ANY American citizen, NATIVE BORN especially, should have “Standing” to bring suit for verification of eligibility to hold office, and doubly especially that of the President of the United States~!
2. The “Birthers” are hereby vindicated in their pursuit, if somewhat belatedly, no matter whether the issue goes “pro” or “con” ~!
3. Should the imposter be found in conflict of the Constitutional Requirements, ALL the Executive Orders will be invalid, as will any legislation passed by congress and signed into law by his hand,,
4. LTC Terry Lakin will be vindicated and should be restored his rank, with back pay and privileges
5. Motions for continuance should be denied as irrelevant, based on prior discovery and trial motions already accomplished in other venues.

If we The People of The United States of America could UNITE as AMERICANS and put aside "petty" Divisions...we could RESTORE THIS NATION. We are MORE than white or black (skin color ties), rich or poor (monetary ties), Democrat or Republican (political ties), Hindu or Muslim (non-Christian ties) NOR Baptist or Catholic (Christian ties). Separation causes a "breach in the body" of Christ. Every denomination is guilty of causing this breach. Every American is guilty of living this breach.

THE TIME IS NOW 2012
"I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast My name, and hast not denied My faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was slain among you where satan dwelleth." Revelation 2:13

Many churches hold fast to the name of Jesus and have not denied their faith in Him. Nevertheless, satan's seat is in their midst. Satan's gates have prevailed, his power of separation has come into their midst, causing a great breach in Christ's body.

God's true church must stand against these divisions and separations by not allowing satan to get a foothold in their assemblies. The true church must remain faithful to God's Word, teaching the assembly the need to change and repent, and walk into an overcoming life through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is an on-going work in each believer's life to prepare them for God's Kingdom.

The prophet Isaiah recorded:

"Now will I sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching His vineyard. My well-beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: And He fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and He looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes." Isaiah 5:1-2

God revealed His plan for His assembly to Isaiah. He called the assembly His vineyard.
". . . a vineyard in a very fruitful hill. . ."

God planted His vineyard in a fruitful hill. The hill respresents the high place in God.
". . . He fenced it . . ."

God build a Spiritual hedge about His body.
". . . He gathered out the stones. . ."
The stones are the things that offend

". . . He planted it with the choicest vines . . ."

God planted His vineyard with His chosen and elect.
". . . He built a tower in it. . ."
The word tower means "an elevated stage or pulpit"

God supplied a place where His people could be taught.

He also. . . ". . . made a winepress. . ."

God made a winepress in the midst of the assembly. The winepress is where the grapes are brought and placed in vats. The grapes are then crushed to where no grape retains any identity, becoming ONE. Only the grapes who have gone through the winepress will be fit for the King's table.

God desires for His assembly to bring forth His plan and His purpose for the church. He looked that His assembly should bring forth grapes, instead it has brought forth. . . wild grapes. . ." Isaiah 5:2. When we think of wild grapes, we picture a small, bitter grape unable to produce much fruit, and mostly seed. This is not what the phrase wild grapes means. The phrase wild grapes means "stinking, worthless fruit". This is how God views the fruit the organized, religious system of today is producing.

The fruit God desires His choicest vines to produce is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, lowliness, righteousness, and patience. Instead His body has produced the stinking, worthless fruit of division, separation, selfishness, and worldliness.

As Jesus stated:

"Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Mark 7:6-7
Jesus said of His assemblies who are bringing forth stinking, worthless, rotten fruit ". . . in vain do they worship me . . ."

The gates of hell have prevailed against these assemblies. The hedge has been broken down that God placed around His body. Because of this satan has come in like a flood, and has his seat in their very midst.
The All-wise Solomon wrote:
". . . whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him." Ecclesiastes 10:8

The church of today wonders why it has no power and cannot feel the presence of God. It is because they have forgot that light and darkness cannot dwell together.

The prophet Ezekiel proclaimed:
"Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord." Ezekiel 13:5

The Bible tells us our battle is not physical, but spiritual. The hedge God has put around His vineyard is a Spiritual hedge, the Holy Spirit hedge. God's Holy Spirit hedge has been broken down and talked down until the gates of hell have prevailed against God's assemblies.

Ezekiel states...
". . . you have not gone up into the gaps to make up the hedge . . ."

God's true church must take on the responsibility of going into the gaps to make up the hedge. God has already hedged His assembly. He gives His leadership the responsibility, power, and authority in the Holy Spirit to protect His hedge from being broken through. But many leaders in the church today are allowing this hedge to fall down. Many leaders have stood back and watched division and separation enter into their midst through this great breach in God's hedge.

We are in the battle in the day of the Lord. The assemblies have not gone up into the gap, nor repaired the breach in the body of Christ, nor made up the Spiritual hedge to ward off the attacks of satan. Instead many leaders in today's church have come into agreement with satan. This they have deemed to be the easy way. Because of this, their worship before God is vain. This apathy and selfishness is a stink in the nostrils of God. Many in God's leadership have indeed become wild grapes in the sight of God.

Isaiah continued his proclamation of God's vineyard:

"For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are His pleasant plant: and He looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry." Isaiah 5:7

Not only God's leadership, but the whole house of Israel have allowed God's vineyard to be broken. The word Israel means "princes of God". A prince is the son of the King.

The House of Israel is God's house made up of His sons (no gender).

An Psalmist wrote of these last days:
"This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord". Psalm 102:18

God is looking for judgment upon sin to come forth from the tower (the pulpit) which He has set in the midst of His people (the assembly):FOR THESE ARE THE DAYS OF VENGENCE! Instead, God is seeing oppression. He watches as "the denominations" (religion) continue to bring His people under their control by teaching them their precepts and doctrines which cannot produce life. He watches as "the Democrats and the Republicans" (politics) continue to bring His People under their divided control with speeches on "rights" which only lead to bondage. He watches as "The Federal Reserve System" (financial) led His People to poverty instead of wealth. Satan's seat is secure in their midst and the breach is ever widening.

If The Congress won't do anything about The Federal Reserve, I believe the NEXT STEP in "standing" is for an "ordinary" citizen to "initiate the case" and then the long line of Foreclosed home-owners, the inflation WE ALL are "experiencing" is EVIDENCE of "theft by deception and fraud" in this Federal Reserve Instrument of OPRESSION. We need to "stand" FOR CHRIST, FOR AMERICA, FOR FREEDOM, FOR OUR CHILDREN's FUTURE.

Imagine the retro-effect if found unconstitutional, and fraudulent, to take a CITIZENS money and have it sent "elsewhere" is STEALING. The Law Thou Shall not Steal applies. As a CITIZEN of The United States, one is "protected" under the Constitution. One Nation under God! For Liberty and Justice for ALL!

ORDER ON MOTION TO DISMISS
On December 15, 2011, Defendant, President Barack Obama, moved for dismissal of
Plaintiffs' challenge to his qualifications for office. The Court has jurisdiction to hear this
contested case pursuant to Chapter 13 of Title 50, the "Georgia Administrative Procedure Act."
For the reasons indicated below, Defendant's Motion to Dismiss is DENIED. 1
I. Discussion
1.
The Georgia Election Code (the "Code") mandates that "[e]very candidate for federal
and state office who is certified by the state executive committee of a political party or who files
a notice of candidacy shall meet the constitutional and statutory qualifications for holding the
office being sought." O.C.G.A. § 21-2-5(a).
2.
Both the Secretary of State and the electors of Georgia are granted the authority under the
Code to challenge the qualifications of a candidate. The challenge procedures are defined in
Code Section 21-2-5(b), which authorizes any elector who is eligible to vote for a candidate to
challenge the qualifications of the candidate by filing a written complaint with the Secretary of
State within two weeks after the deadline for qualifying. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-5(b).
3.
The Georgia law governing presidential preference primaries mandates that "[o]n a date
set by the Secretary of State . . . the state executive committee of each party which is to conduct
a presidential preference primary shall submit to the Secretary of State a list of the names of the
candidates of such party to appear on the presidential preference primary ballot." O.C.G.A. § 21-
2-193. On October 6, 2011, Secretary Kemp issued a notice to the chairman of each political

wait for the Plaintiffs' responses before denying the motion.

party to notify them that the deadline for submitting the list of candidate names for the 2012
presidential preference primary was November 15, 2011. On November 1, 2011, the Executive
Committee of the Democratic Party submitted President Barack Obama's name as the sole
candidate for the Democratic Party. To be timely, complaints challenging a presidential
candidate's qualifications in the presidential preference primary had to be filed no later than
November 29, 2011. Plaintiffs, as electors eligible to vote for Defendant, timely filed challenges
with the Secretary of State before the deadline of November 29, 2011.
4.
In the instant motion, Defendant contends that Georgia law does not give Plaintiffs
authority to challenge a political party's nominee for president in a presidential preference
primary because Code Section 21-2-5 does not apply to the presidential preference primary.
5.
Statutory provisions must be read as they are written, and this Court finds that the cases
cited by Defendant are not controlling. When the Court construes a constitutional or statutory
provision, the "first step . . . is to examine the plain statutory language." Morrison v. Claborn,
294 Ga. App. 508, 512 (2008). "Where the language of a statute is plain and unambiguous,
judicial construction is not only unnecessary but forbidden. In the absence of words of
limitation, words in a statute should be given their ordinary and everyday meaning." Six Flags
Over Ga. v. Kull, 276 Ga. 210, 211 (2003) (citations and quotation marks omitted). Because
there is no other "natural and reasonable construction" of the statutory language, this Court is
"not authorized either to read into or to read out that which would add to or change its meaning."
Blum v. Schrader, 281 Ga. 238, 240 (2006) (quotation marks omitted).
6.
Code Section 21-2-5(a) states that "every candidate for federal and state office" must
meet the qualifications for holding that particular office, and this Court has seen no case law
limiting this provision, nor found any language that contains an exception for the office of
president or stating that the provision does not apply to the presidential preference primary.
O.C.G.A. 21-2-5(a) (emphasis added). Although the word "candidate" is not explicitly defined
in the Code, Section 21-2-193 states that the political party for the presidential preference
Page 3 of 4
primary "shall submit to the Secretary of State a list of the names of the candidates of such party
to appear on the presidential preference primary ballot." O.C.G.A. 21-2-193 (emphasis added).
Accordingly, this Court finds that Defendant is a candidate for federal office.
7.
Code Sections 21-2-190 to 21-2-200 set out the procedures of the presidential preference
primary and also provide no exception to the Section 21-2-5 qualification requirement. This
Court finds no basis under Georgia law why the qualification requirements in Section 21-2-5
would not apply to a candidate for the office of the president in the presidential preference
primary.
8.
Accordingly, this Court finds that Defendant is a candidate for federal office who has
been certified by the state executive committee of a political party, and therefore must, under
Code Section 21-2-5, meet the constitutional and statutory qualifications for holding the office
being sought.
II. Decision
Based on the foregoing, the motion to dismiss is DENIED.
SO ORDERED, this the 3 rd day of January, 2012.

Politics and Cats: The "Welfare" State of The Union Addressed In Truth

2012-01-25T13:19:00.002-05:00

Now I know that the title is one for pause. Yet, sitting here with my morning cup of coffee I pondered my morning asseying on the micro level and thought how simple to apply it to the macro, if only politicians understood cats and getting to a better "state".

As is my normal routine upon awakening I brush my teeth and proceed immediately to the coffee pot, and while it is brewing I tend the cats. First, a cup of food goes to the cat bowl INSIDE and I freshen their water bowl for the day. Then, I open the front door and there awaits the two OUTSIDE at the front door steps. One is the Beautiful, gray and white long-haired momma cat who showed up with kittens one day back 2 summers ago. The other a recent addition of about two months now, a handsome long haired orange cat with this cute white face and big green eyes gentle and loving, but obviously was left behind and was starving. Over the course of this week, another cat has shown up, initially timid when I was around, but I noticed the difference in the way the other cats behaved and would "interact" and "relate" to him. This smaller cat would appear and all the others would dart in various directions. Yet, my own cats didn't mind the 4th orange and white male which had shown up two months ago.

As I proceeded to put down food for the OUTSIDE cats, the 5th one ran over and "chased" the two off. Yesterday, I recalled the 5th cat had basically taken over Mommas throne in the front yard a chair she sat in basically overseeing the property at times getting down to play chase with the others. But ironically the 4 always interacted and related to one another in kindness sharing the food. That was until this morning. The dynamics had somehow changed, and the 5th cat was sitting in Mommas chair and Momma had jumped off the top of the trash can when I opened the front foor to do the morning feeding. I suppose the 5th cat having hung around this week "observing" the routine knew feeding time...but had TAKEN OVER the "territory". He had not come as the others to live in safety, seeking refuge here on the property, graciously accepting to "assimulate" into the group as ONE within the boundaries of my yard. No, he had come from the very beginning on a mission to TAKE OVER the Source. With the backyard fenced in, this was their sanctuary and I enjoyed watching them chase one another frolicking in freedom and safety. But this morning the atmosphere had changed.

So, as Keeper of the Flame of "Come one, Come all and SHARE", I had to take "ACTION" The Trumpet had sounded. A TAKER had "moved" in and had a different idea of HOW this yard was gonna be Governed. I am willing in my own Charity to buy food and take care of the less fortunate animals who through whatever "cause" had found themselves hungry, abandoned, homeless, "caught in the vicious cycle of fertility"...I in love aided and nurtured. Each of the cats I took personal "responsiblity" for getting them "spayed and nurtured" and shots for their protection. As a wise person knows I can't "just" FEED them...there are health "causes" to tend to or else Momma and her Feral Baby girl would only continue to have "more babies" and OVER BURDEN my home "system"...so for the WELFARE of this property, I took ACTION. I "arrested" that behaviour and prevented FUTURE burdens by preventative measures. All has been well until the recent two additions. The first Male from two months ago, had already been fixed and no "stinking spraying"... yet "assimulated" himself into the property in humility and grace! BUT this one from this week is a DIFFERENT BEAST all together. He Wants to spray "and mark HIS territory"...and is TAKING OVER the food bowl and "property". He has no thoughts for what "constitutes" living in harmony and SHARING THE Wealth on this property, nope He is TAKING OVER and becoming a little feline dictator at the expense of the ones already here living quietly and peacefully in harmony. Suddenly, now everyone is ON GUARD and taking "cover".

So this morning, I chased him out of the yard. Initially, it made me FEEL bad, as I am willing to SHARE the property with the animals in need. But I had a DUTY and OBLIGATION as the Head of This Household first to not CREATE a AREA meant as a refuge FROM THE WORLD "in the beginning" to "become" LIKE THE WORLD and no longer safe. Within "the bounds of my property", THAT IS MY RESPONSIBILTY, and the "citizens" (be they furry or human) COME FIRST. I can not permit someone to "come here" taking up "residence" and CHANGE the dynamics of the freedom and security of this US PROPERTY. That is my RIGHT as an individual to protect that "land". The "opportunity" existed to come "assimulate" into the area and BE AS ONE..but that was not "the case".

As I poured my second cup of coffee, I was thinking of my property AS "AMERICA" (the land of the FREE) and then the neighborhood as "the World" and "each house" an individual Nation in it. For in like manner it is so with This Earth we live...one Big Neighborhood. I can go over up and down the streets catching all the cats now to PREVENT any "mean TAKERS" to come here. No, that is not FAIR. It merely serves only to take my FOCUS off my property and onto "anothers". My rights exists with My Property. My Duty is with ITS "citizens". As long as nothing "out there" is threatening to move in and TAKE OVER then my FOCUS is here on this land for the neighborhood is peaceful and the neighbors "friendly". We all co-exist.

Yet, if something "another entity" on the corner is doing "threatens" my own property, and threatens my "peaceful living", threatens "my freedom" and THREATENS "my household" and THREATENS "my pocketbook", and THREATENS "my safety or the CITIZENS within the boundaries of this property"....IT IS MY RIGHT AND DUTY to take ACTION, or else the TAKERS "takeover". And if there is a Bully who has "moved INTO" the neighborhood, and decides to set up a shack at the corner, and take up bullying me "charging ME" an entry FEE into my OWN neighborhood. I am faced with "choices". I can "surrender" to it, or I can "call the Authorities" and "present my case of grievances". TAKE ACTION, or BE BULLIED!

That is the "way" of the MICRO from my rocking chair having morning coffee under the pecan tree in my front yard. Now, lets move to the MACRO. Come WITH ME...I know you can follow this line of reasoning.

The model of the European-style welfare state simply does not work. The NEIGHBORHOOD is in turmoil. Unfortunately, when the percentage of those receiving government aid exceeds 50% in Europe, it is difficult to cut benefits. The threat of cutbacks in Greece has brought chaos to that country. The sight of thousands of left-wing thugs, marching in close ranks and armed with large batons and Molotov cocktails, is now a common one in central Athens. The TAKERS are now upset. Government's response to civil unrest has been to appease the protesters. From all appearances, it looks like the Greeks are angling for debt forgiveness with no substantive change in the Greek welfare state. If all this sounds a lot like what's happening in the U.S., it is!!!! Like the socialists who govern Greece, Obama's left-wing administration depends on the support of left-wing activists, unionized government workers, radicalized students, and welfare recipients. All of these groups "rights"have been pressing for more government spending, and Obama has not disappointed them.(Pay attention here: Don't surrender YOUR VOICE or POWER.")The single-minded focus of this administration has been the expansion of government benefit programs (CAUSE) designed to foster dependency (EFFECT). From the beginning, Obama's political strategy has centered on the restoration of "welfare as we know it." inn this "spiritual" WAR The clients of welfare are always reliable supporters of the Democratic Party. If Democrats can expand the percentage of the population dependent on benefits above 50% of the population, they will have achieved a permanent grasp on power.

Oh my Lovely CITIZENS of America who take up REFUGE much like our early "citizens" seeking REFUGE from "the tyranny of OPPRESSION"....We must now awake! Oh House of Israel "scattered" for we worshipped everything else and wanted NO GOD to rule over us, but a man to be our King. Hail King Obama! America stands at a crossroads in 2012, for this is the year when the American people will decide irrevocably whether they wish to see their country transformed into a European-style welfare state.

Like my morning facing what EXACTLY was I "creating" in my choice to allow this "new-comer" to my yard, TOUGH CHOICES need to be made taking into consideration CAUSE AND EFFECT, and THE FUTURE we are "creating" for ourselves. It is WITHIN OUR CONTROL. But We The People must send the MESSAGE that WE will no longer put up with POLICIES which attrack TAKERS, BULLY'S, and Complacency! There is a SOLUTION and a means to transition from that "state" to a better state of mind. It would have been a "great" transaction for the President to have signed the Keystone Pipeline into existence...imagine how many JOBS for American CITIZENS that would have opened, cutting welfare and moving them to a JOB. Now that is SOUND finance to me! Oh, and we are also doing business with Our FRIENDS in Canada, not only FRIENDS but whose God is Our God, and stop doing business with the enemy who in that "state of DEPENDENCY" threaten us and bully us.

I say its PAST TIME TO SEVER TIES with enemies and financial bonds of social intercourse giving birth to more and more kittens of tyranny and oppression. America has "bought our FRIENDS" for a long time. It is interesting the NATURE of people, as long as YOU are "paying" friends are there, but the minute YOU are out of work, and CANT FOOT THE BILL for dinner, ironically no-one is calling YOU for dinner anymore. Thats the difference in THE TAKERS and THE GIVERS.

Only in wising up, and waking up, and getting heads out of the sand, will America realize that we are at WAR, but its not with the Taliban. ITS WITHIN OUR OWN SHORES sitting in the Chief SEATS in HIgh Places DICTATING to us How this Property America is gonna be RUN irregardless of the Economic Melt-down. They want us to become "dependant" and WEAK and ironically we are almost half-way there with the ominously 49% of TAKERS who collect benefits and pay no Federal Income Tax. IF the Obama Administration can get just a few more VOTES from "a few more TAKERS" this Country is Lost FOREVER!

Not sure who was paying attention to what was actually SAID when Obama went down his issue with the congress, the house, and how If they would just GIVE HIM CONTROL He would "get things done". Yes, BUT WHAT THINGS and "for Whom" I beg the differ. Yes, Obama did another great "speech" got some applause and standing ovations last night. The only true thing He did say (In my humble opinion) was GIVE HIM CONTROL SO HE COULD GET THINGS DONE (his SOCIALIST NWO "agenda"). See, Obama's 2012 budget, which was rejected by every member of the Senate, called for continued spending at 2011 levels, even as his own budget supercommittee struggled to come up with $1.5 trillion in cuts. Good JOB Senate!

At the caution light, in the middle of nowhere and somewhere we pause at this crossroad in Americas Future and OUR decision AFFECTS our allies also. The Welfare state PROMISES "lifetime benefits" for the entire population with a safety net of food like the Federal Reserve PROMISED our Grandparents generation 100 years ago when the Titanic Sank and Congress "bought" those lies. A reliance UPON "another" instead of Good ole Fashioned SWEAT EQUITY! No one once made "dependant" upon welfare ever wants to give that up! IN that ACT, they have surrendered, tossed in the white that exists "in between" the Red and The Blue, and given up "The PURSUIT" in exchange for "a welfare check of HOPELESSNESS".

Socialism is in EFFECT an economic system in which NO ONE IS ALLOWED the PURSUIT "to succeed" or "to fail". It eliminates the MOTIVE all together of competition and reduces a country's CITIZENRY and "labor force" to nothing, and "oppression and tyrranny REIGNS"...and a once harmonious and prosperous LAND becomes a "breeding ground" for laziness and bullying.

As I think back to the TAKER cat this morning on the MICRO home front, ones "individual right" to eat at the expense of the "whole body of citizen-critters" living here is IRRESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT of assets and property. And by my "supporting THAT BEHAVIOUR" continuing to FEED it, then I am TEACHING the "means of obtaining" SOURCE is by FORCE and not "assimulating" into the melting pot and WORKING for it (capitalism at best). Now admittedly in my little micro yard, the work of making me smile, keeping the rats and moles away isn't much labor for a bowl of porridge. In my willingness to SHARE, do not attempt to come and TAKE OVER.

In American POLITICS today, there exists a misguided sympathy on not allowing anyone to go without.The USA has already hit the tipping point, especially in large metro areas such as

Chicago, Madison, NYC, LA, San Franciscco, Atlanta, Birmingham, Seattle, and other large metro cities that are run by the mob, organized crime, corrupt unions and DEMOCRATS. It is time for Red States that are fiscally and socially conservative to Take Our Country Back one State At A Time, and stop sending our tax dollars to Washington DC to be dispersed by the Socialist Politicians and Bureaucrats to the bankrupt and corrupt large cities. If NYC, Atlanta, LA and other BULLY Run Democrat Cities want to continue to support their welfare populations and unions, then let them fund themselves and stop fleecing the rest of Americans who actually work for a living and who run small businesses. The multi-national bankers and corporations benefit greatly from the Democrats in congress and in the White House while officially the Democrats Trash Them Publicly while these same corrupt bankers fund all Democrat Elections. Let the Corporate Elitists who fund Obama and the Democrats supply the Cash to Fund these Corrupt Government Programs and the rest of us just keep our cash at home and support legitimate governments in our home states.

Don't think YOUR VOTE isn't important this YEAR. ITS MORE IMPORTANT than ever...but more importantly is paying attention to the EFFECTS of what these monetary MOB RULE Dictatorship Policies are doing to the CITIZENS of America.

Behold Your MOTHER where are her "sons and daughters"?

2012-01-22T16:53:00.003-05:00

“While Jesus Christ The Messiah was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, ‘Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.’ But He answered and said to the one who told Him, ‘Who is My mother and who are My brothers?’ And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, ‘Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and Mother’” (Matthew 12:46-50 KJV).

“One of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Jesus as is written and recorded in,Luke 11:27-28

27And it came to pass, as He spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto Him, Blessed is the womb (birth rite of passage) that bare thee, and the paps (milk of nourishment)which thou hast sucked.

28 But He said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. (KJV)

Also entailed within this reply of Jesus in HIS ministry is brought forth FAMILY in that those who DO (execute) "The Will" of His Father in Heaven are Blessed- and "those" BLESSED are His Mother, Brother and Sister

As we look at "being born again INTO the state of Confusion" (Babylon) then (sequence) The Lord HIMSELF raises UP (aka: The First Resssurection) and OUT OF confusion and then "translated" becoming FAMILY (in effect getting to a better "state of MIND" putting on the mind of CHRIST.)

But still it behooves us to look deeper (and more "spiritually") into this. Jesus said those whom DO THE WILL of His Father "become" that FAMILY.

As I look back over a recent encounter of one representing those still debating about the organization of “church” and especially THE WOMANS PLACE have not yet seen the Ekklesia as a FAMILY...the Qahal, an "organisational structure" mentioned in the masoretic text of the Bible, which the Septuagint refers to as the Ekklesia. And so their emphasis is on the proper government of “church”: is it a single pastor, or a plurality of elders? What are the relationships between pastors, deacons and elders? What about the relationships between apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers? What about prophetesses? Or are they for today? What about the women – can they hold "a position" or not? Where are the lines of Authority? Who are we supposed to submit to? Who is our covering? Do we need a covering? Better Yet, What IS This Covering? And so on.

Many disputes arise as to how “church” should be organized and who should submit to whom. Millions of people have been killed over these disputes, and millions more have been abused – spiritually and emotionally, if not physically. These disputes have been with us for two millennia and have never been resolved to everyone’s satisfaction.

The only way to resolve a dispute along the lines of organization is to let go of the "earthly" altogether and embrace the spiritual reality. But for many (particularly those in leadership and forgive me but Men especially who have been reared in traditional dogmatic church denominationism) this is simply too much to give up. Some will say, “But there IS organization in the Bible.” And I, Teresa D. Smith, would respond that there IS a "Spirit-and-Truth" order in the Bible, but NOT "organization along the lines" of a corporate hierarchy, bureaucracy, or benevolent dictatorship. Those are all carnal expressions of carnal men. They are not for "the Ekklesia" as described in the Septuagint.

If we really truly, TRULY SAW "the Ekklesia" we would no longer debate these issues at all. In fact, if we could really SEE "the Ekklesia" for what it IS – A FAMILY – then we will immediately know Who the Head of The Family is, who the elders are, what they are supposed to DO, who has "authority", and who does not (better yet from whom and where THAT AUTHORITY proceeds.) We would no longer be concerned with a "corporate structure" in Ekklesia Church or the BUSINESS thereof, but we would simply relate to one another as members of the same family. Relating to the "Business" in terms of The Family in the distribution thereof.

The Ekklesia that Jesus is building is a spiritual house of living stones. This Ekklesia is a Family, and “of Jesus the whole family in heaven and earth is named” (Ephesians 3:15). Which family? The family of "believers"!!! Some of The Family is in heaven, while some of The Family is on earth. Some of The Family in Heaven do physical battle while some of The Family on earth do the spiritual battle.

In 2 John 1, it is written in this Light of the Ekklesia thusly:

The elder,
To the lady chosen by God and to her children, whom I love in the truth—and not I only, but also all who know the truth— ² because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever:
³ Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love.
⁴ It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us. ⁵ And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another. ⁶ And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.

In this Family, God is Father (GodHead), and Jesus Christ (The Messiah) is the Firstborn among many brothers and sisters (Romans 8:29). When we become a disciple of Jesus Christ we "become" members of a "family", not members of an "organization". This is one of the key differences between a living FAMILY (Ekklesia) and a dead “church” (organization) often DIVIDED against itself into denominations.

That is what Jesus Christ in HIS mission conveys to the people in the two instances illustrated from the Gospels. In the first case His mother and brothers were prevented from approaching Him because of the crowd. The Scriptures say that Jesus was still speaking to the multitudes when someone interrupted HIS teaching to tell Him that His Mother and brothers had arrived and wanted to speak to Him. An ordinary person may have become angry over the interruption, or would have excused themselves from the crowd to go to say hello to his relatives.

But Jesus is no ordinary person; He is the Son of the Most High God. The Learned understand that He was Truly Father (Godhead) in Son (Messiah) TO PAY A PRICE for "sin" in order to Redeem The Body of Christ (Family not "church" as in "organizational structure" but FAMILIAL structure). What He demonstrates to them (in word and in deed) is that everyone who does the will of God is His brother, sister, and Mother (the make-up of a Family); that is to say, all the members of His family are on equal ground before Him. In this family He plays no favorites, He gives no preferential treatment. He does not have special brothers and special sisters; all are equally precious, all are equally valuable in His sight.

Others may argue over who will be the greatest and seek the recognition and praise from man with their title, degree, position, or gifting, but Jesus said, “It must not be so among you” (Matthew 20:26). If He makes no distinction among brothers and sisters then we dare not do so. And I dare might add if He paid the awesome price on the Cross in HIS shed blood who are we to see a family members ERASED SIN, and shame one and KEEP THEM IN BONDAGE instead of proudly standing as One Of The Family? I am sick to death of the self-righteous who shame and condemn one because of their sexual orientation or an abortion or selling her body for money to feed her child... instead of sharing with them WHO they are NOW in Christ. LIFT UP AND EDUCATE, correct in love..GROW THEM. I immediately think of a song by 10th Avenue North YOU ARE MORE (than the sum of your past mistakes or the problems you've created).

In the second case, as in the first, Jesus is teaching when someone interrupts Him. A woman calls out from the crowd and blesses Mary, the mother of Jesus. Again, an ordinary person may have been disturbed over this interruption, or might have started talking about how much they loved their mother. But once again, we see the uniqueness of the Lord Jesus, and we touch upon the depth of His wisdom and character.

Certainly Jesus loved His earthly mother. At the same time, with His keen discernment, Jesus perceived that this outburst of emotion was mere sentimentality. Though it was intended as a compliment, it came from the flesh, added nothing to His teaching, and only served to distract the people from Himself. With the benefit of 2,000 years of "church" history behind us, we can see how this kind of fleshly adulation over the Mother of Jesus is, in and of itself, a tremendous distraction from Jesus Himself.

And so, for the benefit of the crowd (as well as for our benefit), Jesus speaks a gentle word of correction, one that honors His mother without idolizing her: “Yea rather…” the King James Version says; that is to say, “True enough, but get your eyes off of the earthly and onto the heavenly. There is a greater blessing to be had, and this blessing is not restricted to one person, but this blessing is open and available to all who will have it.” But in the hierachy of FAMILY though it is revealed a sweet morsal of "future" truth in the singular and the plural. A word to the wise is sufficient.

How is this blessing obtained? According to Jesus, those who hear the Word of God and obey it are blessed. And this is not surprising, since everything Jesus ever taught makes a plain distinction between people who merely listen to His teaching and those who actually put His teachings into practice. Blessed are they who hear it and keep it; while those who hear it, and do not practice it, are building on a sandy foundation that will collapse the moment they are challenged.

The principle thing in both cases is: what constitutes someone as a true brother or sister? And in both cases the answer is the same: doing the will of the Father; hearing the Word of God and keeping it. Doing the will of the Father is the same thing as hearing and keeping the Word of God. Simple obedience. Doing what the Father wants. Not hearing only, but hearing and doing.

Now the “church” is full of hearers. If we could qualify someone as a brother or sister merely on the basis of hearing, or a cross worn around the neck, or a Christian Bumper Sticker then just about everyone would be included. It is common in many circles to address others as “Brother So-and-So” or “Sister So-and-So.” and honestly I never "got that". For as I looked into my own earthly family I never addressed them as brother or sister but it was understood as such is the way with Family. Presumably this means that we are all in the same family and we have the same Father. Yet these same “brothers” and “sisters” will never fellowship with anyone outside their little group. Their criteria is narrow – attend the same group as we do, or join the same denomination, and we will be "brothers and sisters". This is a good example of hearing what Jesus says, even preaching what Jesus says, and then failing to put into practice the very truth they have just claimed to believe.

Bear in mind that what makes someone a part of this Family is not hearing, or accepting, or believing, or teaching the will of God – it is doing the will of God. Jesus did not call every religious person, “Brother” or “Sister”. This was a term of endearment for his true disciples. True disciples take it to heart and put it into practice. “IF you continue in My Word, then are you My disciples indeed” (John 8:31). IF, IF, IF. What if you do not continue in His Word? Then you are not My disciples, and you are not My brother, or sister, or My Mother. To be in My Family you have to do the Will of My Father.

What about the others? Jesus would not acknowledge them as brothers and sisters. Why not? Because they did not have the same father. “You are of YOUR father the devil, and the desires of YOUR father you want to do” (John 8:44). They heard the Word of God. They listened to the law and the prophets every Sabbath day. But they did not do the will of God. In fact, they did not desire the will of God at all; they lusted after the same things their father The Devil lusted after, and that will did the devil’s bidding, not the Father’s in Heaven.

On top of all the other trials and tribulations Paul endured, he mentioned being “in perils among false brethren” (II Corinthians 11:26b), and blamed part of his troubles on “false brethren secretly brought in, who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage” (Galatians 2:4). False brothers! It is a strong word. But this is how false Christs, false apostles, false prophets, and false teachers make their beginning – as false brothers and sisters. As is with all things we KNOW them by their fruit. Have you been "gossiped about by one of your false brothers and sisters". The TIME IS NOW to cull out from amongst yourselves my Children those who have a false sense of allegiance. Know when the battle cry is sounded, and the battle begins...who is in the FOXHOLE with you? Will they shoot you in the back, or will they charge out with you on the front line taking back the land which The Devil and his children have "stealthily" STOLEN it from us?

So the question that Jesus asked bears repeating today: Who is my brother? Who is my sister? Who is my Mother? Certainly not everyone who says, “Lord! Lord!” will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. In similar manner, not everyone who says, “Brother! Brother!” is really a brother or "Sister! Sister!" is really a sister. Yet learning how to be a good brother or a good sister is the first thing Jesus wants to teach us. When we are born into this Family that is all we are – a brother or a sister. Every apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, pastoral, or teaching ministry must have, as its foundation, the spiritual depth and maturity of knowing how to “just” be a brother or sister. We skip this necessary preparation at our own peril, and the Family of God in the Kingdom of God suffers as a result.

Jesus says, “I will declare Your Name to My brothers, in the midst of the Ekklesia (Family) will I sing praise to You!” (Hebrews 2:12). Nothing brings more pleasure to the Father’s heart, and gives our Lord Jesus more reason to rejoice, than to be with His brothers and sisters in the midst of the Ekklesia that He is building. If He is in the midst of the Ekklesia then that is where I want to be. May the Lord confirm this word to our heart. May His Will be done. And I will end in repeating the Title of this message today Behold Your MOTHER yet whom is said to be her "sons and daughters"? KNOW IN YOUR HEART YOU ARE SOMEONE WORTH DYING FOR, and I LIVE for you! Amen.

EVE:Woman "Deceived": MOTHER of Christ (umbilical cord to umbilical cord)

2012-01-22T15:15:00.000-05:00

Eve - "Women of the Bible"

Eve = Life, Life-spring.

First a little about the story of Adam and Eve and them being in the Garden of Eden, then Scripture.

God creates Adam but sees that there is something lacking.

'So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.'

Eve is formed from the rib of Adam (believed by many to be the DNA curve). They are of the same flesh and the same bone. From the moment of creation neither man nor woman can be complete without the other. Working together, they form the basic unit of society, the family.

Verse 25 makes an observation: neither the man nor the woman are aware of their own nakedness, as animals are unaware of their nakedness.

Eve and Adam are given a perfect world, but they are also given the power of choosing, making decisions.

The serpent, Satan, in the Garden speaks to Eve, suggesting that God has duped her. If she eats the fruit that has been forbidden to her she will gain new understanding and wisdom -- so profound that it will rival God's.

Because she has no experience of deceit, Eve believes Satan and makes her choice, deciding to seek knowledge of good and evil rather than be obedient. As humans, we continually test boundaries and try new ideas. In the Genesis story woman as 'life-giver' is the one who initiates this process.

When Satan in the Garden of Eden spoke to her, suggesting she try something new, she was intrigued.

It is a dangerous choice, reminding us that the quest for knowledge should always be balanced by wisdom. Eve will soon realize her mistake.

Adam eats the fruit without thinking or arguing. Like Eve, he misuses his ability to make decisions, never pausing to consider the consequences. Again, the quest for knowledge should go hand in hand with careful judgment.

Why is the snake used as a symbol of evil?

It was an important image in ancient pagan religions. The goddess Astarte, who represented the fertility of nature, was often portrayed with snakes. People saw the dead skins shed by snakes, and assumed that the snake had in some way died but then come alive again.

They saw the seasons of the year following the same pattern: in winter all things died, but in spring Nature mysteriously sprang back to life. So the image of a snake was used in fertility rituals, especially those relating to the seasonal cycles.

Cain murders Abel, and this is the second sin. Now people have sinned against God, and against each other.

At the heart of the story is that lawlessness is contrary to the will of God.

As the story continues, the original harmony between humanity and nature is disrupted. In a fit of jealousy Cain murders his brother Abel.

In a perfect world, a world without sin, inequality, violence and injustice do not exist.

But the Garden of Eden has been lost.

In Genesis 3, Eve is the central human character in the story. She is the mover and shaker, the active person. She explores the Garden, she meets and interrogates the snake, Satan, she makes a decision then returns to Adam and makes suggestions for a course of action. People in ancient times saw women as active and inquiring, as shapers of society.

The Bible begins with the story of an independent and strong-minded woman who is, like all humans, both creative and destructive, clever but short-sighted.

Now Scripture:

Genesis 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

(Keep = keep safe, preserve. Same as in 3:14; 17:9,10; 18:19, &c.

Notice that God didn't take just any of His creation's, but "Ha-Adham", the man Adam, to take care of the garden of Eden.)

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying,"Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

(Toned down by Eve in 3:2.

God supplied all the trees for the enjoyment and nourishment of Adam. There were no limits placed on Adam, except for one.)

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

(¹Tree. Note the 3 trees: "Knowledge" [2:9], man's Ruin; "the Cross" [Acts 10:39; 5:30. 1 Pet. 1:24], man's Redemption; "the Tree of Life" [2:9. Rev. 2:7; 22:2], man's Regeneration. ²Good and evil - See v.9. Obedience proving what was "good" [Deut. 6:24], disobedience revealing what was "evil" [Rom.3:20]. ³In the day = when. Cp. 2:4. 1 Kings 2:37. Ezek. 36:32, &c.; Thou shall surely die - See note on 26:28 for the emphasis of this Figure exhibited in other ways; and cp. esp. note on Num. 26:65. Here marked by the word "surely", as in v.16 by the word "freely". This certainly changed by Eve in 3:3 into contingency. No "apple tree" mentioned) 18 And the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."

(Meet = as his counterpart)

19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

(Ground: giving the details of 1:24. Creature = soul. Heb. nephesh. See 1:20. Domestic animals.)

20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

(Meet - see v.18.

So though the races had their male and female counterparts, God has given only the domestic animals, and no wife to Adam.. Remember, God's order for His creation was "kind after kind". In the term; "..there was not found an help meet for him", indicates that God never intended for the mixing of the races. This is why "there was not found" a wife for Adam. There is no documentation which spells out the method of God's creation for the other races, and whatever is said is pure speculation; However, all the races are God's children, and God loves all his children.)

21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

(Ribs. Heb. = curve. DNA Helix? From the Hebrew prime tsala'.

What that surgery was, has as many answers as there is people guessing. However, we know that Eve was formed from Adam by the use of surgery.)

22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

(Woman. Heb. ishah = female.

We know the man in this verse is Adam, because verse twenty two is part of verse twenty one. God set this woman apart from all other women living then, that were formed through the sixth day creation. It will be through this woman that the Christ child would come [be born], and from her daughters.

The documentation connecting Eve [this woman] and the Christ child is given in Luke 3:23-38. The only way your soul will obtain eternal life is through that Christ child, and through His shed blood on the cross, and our repentance and acceptance of Him.)

23 And Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

(Quoted Matt. 19:5, &c. 1 Cor. 6:16. Eph. 5:31. Marriage is union.

The greatest gift that God gave to man, was a woman to be his helpmate.)

25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

(Why were they not ashamed? They had not met the snake yet. They had not partaken of the person known as "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil", and the world knows him as Satan.)

The Serpent of Genesis 3.

In Genesis Chapter 3 we have neither allegory, myth, legend, or fable, but literal historical fact set forth, and emphasized by the use of certain Figures of Speech.

All the confusion of thought and conflicting exegesis (Interpretation of Scripture) have risen from taking literally what is expressed by Figures, or from taking figuratively what is literal. A Figure of Speech is never used except for the purpose of calling attention to, emphasizing, and intensifying, the reality of the literal sense, and the truth of the historical facts; so that, while the words employed may not be so strictly true to the letter, they are all the more true to the truth conveyed by them, and to the historical events connected with them.

But for the figurative language of verses 14 and 15 no one would have thought of referring the third chapter of Genesis to a snake, no more than he does when reading the third chapter from the end of Revelation (20:2). Indeed, the explanation added there, that the "old serpent" is the Devil and Satan would immediately lead one to connect the word "old" with the earlier and former mention of the serpent in Gen. 3: and the fact that it was Satan himself who tempted "the second man", "The last Adam", would force the conclusion that no other than the personal Satan could have been the tempter of "the first man, Adam."

The Hebrew word rendered "serpent" in Gen. 3:1 is Nachash (from the root Nachash, to shine), and means a shinning one. Hence the Chaldee means brass or copper, because of its shinning. Hence also, the word Nehushtan, a piece of brass, in 2 Kings 18:4.

In the same way Saraph, in Isaiah.6:2,6, means a burning one, and, because the serpents mentioned in Num. 21 were burning, in the poison of their bite, they were called Saraphim, or Seraphs.

But when the Lord said to Moses, "Make you a fiery serpent" (Num. 21:8), He said, "Make you a Saraph," and, in obeying the command, we read in v.9, "Moses made a Nachash of brass," Nachash is thus used as being interchangeable with Saraph.

Now, if Saraph is used of a serpent because its bite was burning, and is also used of a celestial or spirit-being (a burning one), why should not Nachash be used of a serpent because its appearance was shinning, and be also used of a celestial or spirit-being (a shining one)?

Indeed, a reference to the structure of Gen.3 will show that the Cherubim (which are similar celestial or spirit-beings) of the last verse (Gen.3:24) require a similar spirit-being to correspond with them in the first verse (for the structure of the whole chapter is a great Introversion). The Nachash, or serpent, who beguiled Eve (2 Cor. 11:3) is spoken of as "an angel of light" in v.14. Have we not, in this, a clear intimation that it was not a snake, but a glorious shinning being, apparently an angel, to whom Eve paid such great deference, acknowledging him as one who seemed to possess superior knowledge, and whom was evidently a being of a superior (not inferior) order? Moreover, in the description of Satan as "the King of Tyre" it is distinctly implied that the latter being was of a super-natural order when he is called "a cherub" (Ezek. 28:14,16 read from v.11-19). His presence "in Eden, the garden of 'Elohim"(God) (v.13), is also clearly stated, as well as his being "perfect in beauty" (v.12), his being "perfect in his ways from the day he was created till iniquity was found in him" (v.15), and as being "lifted up because of his beauty" (v.17).

These all compel the belief that Satan was the shinning one (Nachash) in Gen.3, and especially because the following words could be addressed to him, "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I will cast you to the ground, I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you." (v.17).

Even supposing that these things were spoken to, and of, an exalted human being in the later days (Ezek.28), still "the King of Tyre" is not compared to a being who was non existent; and the facts and the circumstances which never happened are not introduced into the comparison.

There is more about "the King of Tyre" in Ezek. 28:11-19 then was literally true of "the prince of Tyre" (vv.1-10). The words can be understood only of the mightiest and most supernatural being God ever created; and this for the purpose of showing how great he would fall. The history must be true to make the prophecy of any weight.

Again, the word rendered "subtle" in Gen. 3:1 means wise, in a good sense as well as in a bad sense. In Ezek.28:12 we have the good sense, "You seal up the sum, full of wisdom"; and the bad sense in v.17, "You have corrupted your wisdom" (referring of course to his fall). So the word rendered "subtle" is rendered "prudent" in Prov. 1:14; 8:12; 12:23; 14:8; and in a bad sense in Job 15:5. 1 Sam. 23:22. Ps. 83:3.

The word "beast" also, in Gen.3:1, chay, denotes a living being, and it is as wrong to translate Zoa "beast" in Gen.3. Both mean living creature. Satan is thus spoken of as being "more wise than any living creature which Yahaveh Elohim had made". Even if the word "beast" be retained, it does not say that either a serpent or Satan was a "beast", but only that he was "more wise" than any other living being.

We cannot conceive Eve as holding a conversation with a snake, but we can understand her being fascinated by one, apparently "an angel of light" (i.e. a glorious angel) possessing superior and supernatural knowledge.

When Satan is spoken of as a "serpent", it is the Figure Hypocatastasis or Implication; it no more means a snake that it does when Dan is so called in Gen. 49:17; or an animal when Nero is called a "lion" (2 Tim. 4:17), or when Herod is called a "fox" (Luke 13:32); or when Judah is called a "lions whelp". It is the same figure when "doctrine" is called "leaven" (Matt. 16:6). It shows that something much more real and truer to truth is intended. If a Figure of Speech is thus employed, it is for the purpose of expressing the truth more impressively; and is intended to be a figure of something much more real than the letter of the word.

Other Figures of Speech are used in vv.14,15, but only for the same purpose of emphasizing the truth and the reality of what is said.

When it is said in v.15, "you shall bruise His heel", it cannot mean His literal heal of flesh and blood, but suffering, more temporary in character. When it is said (v.15) "He shall crush your head", it means something more than the skull of bone, and brain, and hair. It means Satan's plans and plots, policy and purpose, will one day be finally crushed and ended, never more to mar or to hinder the purpose of God. This will be effected when Satan shall be bruised under our feet (Rom. 16:20). This again, will not be our literal feet, but something much more real.

The bruising of Christ's heel is the most eloquent and impressive way of foretelling the most solemn events and to point out that the effort made by Satan to evade his doom, then threatened, would become the very means of insuring it's accomplishment; for it was through the death of Christ that he who had the power of death would be destroyed; and all Satan's power and policy brought to an end, and all his works destroyed (Heb. 2:14. 1 John 3:8. Rev. 20:1-3,10). What literal words could portray these literal facts so wonderfully as these expressive Figures of Speech?

It is the same with the other Figures used in v.14, "on your belly shall you go". This Figure means infinity more than the literal belly of flesh and blood; just as the words "heel" and "head" do in v.15. It paints for the eyes of our mind the picture of Satan's ultimate humiliation; for prostration was ever the most eloquent sign of subjection. When it is said "our belly cleaves to the ground" (Ps. 44:25), it denotes such a prolonged prostration and such depth of submission as could never be conveyed or expressed in literal words.

So with the other prophecy, "Dust shall you eat". This is not true to the letter, or to fact, but is all the more true to truth. It tells of constant, continues disappointment, failure, and mortification; as when deceitful ways are spoken of as feeding on deceitful food, which is "sweet to a man, but afterword his mouth shall be filled with gravel" (Prov. 20:17). This does not mean literal "gravel", but something far more disagreeable. It means disappointment so great that it would gladly be exchanged for the literal "gravel". So when Christians are rebuked for "biting and devouring one another" (Gal. 3:14,15), something more heart-breaking is meant than the literal words used in the Figure.

When "His enemies shall lick the dust" (Ps. 72:9) they will not do it on their knees with their literal tongues; but they will be so prostrated and so utterly defeated, that no words could literally depict their overthrow and subjugation.

If a serpent was afterward called a nachash, it was because it was more shinning than any other creature; and if it became known as "wise", it was not because of its own innate positive knowledge, but its wisdom in hiding from all observation; and because of its association with one of the names of Satan (that old serpent) who "beguiled Eve" (2 Cor. 11:3,14).

It is so wonderful how a snake could ever be supposed to speak without the organ of speech, or that Satan should supposed able to accomplish so great a miracle.

It only shows the power of tradition, which has, from the infancy of each one of us, put before our eyes and written on our minds the picture of a "snake" and an "apple"; the former based on wrong interpretation, and the latter being pure invention, about which there in not one word said in Holy Scripture.

Never was Satan's wisdom so craftily used as when he secured universal acceptance of the traditional belief; for it has succeeded in fixing the attention of mankind on the letter and the names, and thus blinding the eyes to the solemn fact that the Fall of man had to do solely with the Word of God, and is centered in the sin of believing Satan's lie instead of Yahaveh's truth.

The temptation of "the first man Adam" began with the question, "Has God said." The temptation of "the second man, the Lord from heaven" began with the similar question, "if you are the Son of God", when the voice of the Father had scarcely died away, which said, "This is My beloved Son."

All turned on the truth of what Yahaveh had said.

The Word of God being questioned, led Eve, in her reply, 1) to omit the word "freely" (3:2, cp. 2:16); then 2) to add the words "neither shall you touch it" (3:3, cp. 2:17); and finally 3) to alter a certainty into a contingency by changing "you shall surely die" (2:17) into "lest you all die" (3:3).

It is not without significance that the first Ministerial words of "the second Man" were "It is written", three times repeated; and that His last Ministerial words contained a similar threefold reference to the written Word of God (John 17:8,14,17).

The former temptation succeeded because the Word of God was three times misrepresented; the latter temptation was successfully defeated because the same Word was faithfully repeated.

The history of Gen. 3 is intended to teach us the fact that Satan's sphere of activities is in the religious sphere, and not the spheres of crime or immorality; that his battlefield is not the sins arising from human depravity, but the unbelief of the human heart. We are not to look for Satan's activities to-day in newspaper press, or the police courts; but in the pulpit, and in the professor's chair's.

Wherever the Word of God is called in question, there we see the trail of "that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan." This is why anything against the true interests of the Word of God (as being such) finds a ready admission into the newspapers of the world, and is treated as "general literature". This is why anything in favor of its inspiration and Divine origin and its spiritual truth is rigidly excluded as being "controversial".

This is why Satan is quite content that the letter of Scripture should be accepted in Gen. 3, as he himself could say "It is written" (Matt.4:6) so long as the letter of what is "written" could be instead of the truth that is conveyed by it; and so long as it is misquoted or misapplied.

This is his object in perpetuating the traditions of the "snake" and the "apple", because it ministers to the acceptance of his lie, the hiding of God's truth, the support of tradition, the jeers of the infidel, the opposition of the critics, and the stumbling of the weak in faith.

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent

(= the shinning one = Satan)

was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, "Yea, hath God said, 'Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?"

(Satan's first utterance. The serpent is called that old dragon, which is to say the devil in Revelation 20:2. The serpent started his twisting and confusing in asking the woman, "shall you not eat of every tree of the garden?”", as you know God had stated, "You shall not touch the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”". All of the other trees they could partake of. And this was the woman’s answer.)

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

(Misquoted from God. He had made an exception. She did not eat an apple. Heb. 'ets= tree-prime:= backbone-'atseh = closing of the eyes spiritually, and opening the eyes to the way of the world. See Isa. 61:3)

3 But of the fruit of the tree

(A specific tree)

which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, 'Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.' "

(Misquoted. Let's bring this back to the Hebrew for a moment if we may. The word "tree" as it is utilized in verse 1 states that it is "ates".

H6086- ates From H6095; a tree (from its firmness); hence wood (plural sticks): - + carpenter, gallows, helve, + pine, plank, staff, stalk, stick, stock, timber, tree, wood.

The base root of the word is 6095 in the Strong's Concordance and you should have one because you really need one to study God's Word. And in this dictionary you will find that the Hebrew word comes from the base root 6086 which is 6095 which is:

atsah. H6095 - Ì'tsaÌ'h aw-tsaw' - A primitive root; properly to fasten (or make firm), that is, to close (the eyes): - shut. Which is to say an opening and a closing of the eyes. And from this also comes 6096 which is the backbone; the backbone of the body.

H6096 aw-tseh' From H6095; the spine (as giving firmness to the body): - back bone.

Which is to say the trunk of the body; your arms are the limbs and it is a tree. A regular tree has only knowledge to shed its leaves, but the knowledge of good and evil, as the trunk of the body, has many feelings that pass through the central nervous system. Now let’s go a little further if we may, "Lest you die" was stated.)

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, "Ye shall not surely die:

(Satan's second utterance. Contradiction of Gods Word.)

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,

(the foundation of Satan's second lie: The immanence of God in man.)

knowing good and evil."

(Enlightenment, yes, and here you have the Hebrew word which is the base, "an opening or closing of the eyes". And we have something here that is not complete as we read from the English, but from the trunk of the brain, we have the knowledge of good and evil. This let's you know what is good and what is evil. That ties into what Paul in 2 Corinthians 11:3 would state concerning this very incident that took place in the garden.)

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,

("Lust of the eyes". Remember what Christ told you about checking the fruit? To be a fruit inspector? You should know by the fruit. If you get an orange off of an apple tree, something’s wrong.)

and that it was pleasant to the eyes,

("Lust of the flesh")

and a tree to be desired to make one wise,

("Boastful of life")

she took of the fruit thereof,

(I.e. the fruit coming from Satan's mouth, = lies)

and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her;

(Therefore Adam present)

and he did eat.

(They both partook of the same fruit. Is this where homosexuality was learned? Now listen to that carefully. She took of the fruit… and by their fruits you shall know them. God’s commandment was in verse 3, was that you shall not TOUCH it. Do you know what that word touch is in the Hebrew tongue? It’s nâga‛. You know what it means? It means to lie with a woman. Touch - H5060

nâga- naw-gah'

A primitive root; properly to touch, that is, lay the hand upon (for any purpose; euphemistically, to lie with a woman); by implication to reach (figuratively to arrive, acquire); violently, to strike (punish, defeat, destroy, etc.): - beat, (X be able to) bring (down), cast, come (nigh), draw near (nigh), get up, happen, join, near, plague, reach (up), smite, strike, touch.

[what is a Euphemism? It’s is saying something in a way as to not offend tender ears.]

Definition of Euphemism: A euphemism is a substitution of an expression that may offend or suggest something unpleasant to the receiver with an agreeable or less offensive expression.

Eve would say, "I was beguiled by the serpent". Paul would teach in 2 Corinthians 11, I’m jealous over you because I have espoused you to one husband and I don't want you to be beguiled as Eve was by the serpent, Satan.)

Genesis 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened,

(Do you know that this is the prime of the word âtsâh which is tree? The word tree is êts in the Hebrew but it comes from the prime atash which means the backbone. H6086

êts - ates

From H6095; a tree (from its firmness); hence wood (plural sticks): - + carpenter, gallows, helve, + pine, plank, staff, stalk, stick, stock, timber, tree, wood.

H6095

âtsâh - aw-tsaw'

A primitive root; properly to fasten (or make firm), close (the eyes): - shut.

H6096

âtseh - aw-tseh'

From H6095; the spine (as giving firmness to the body): - back bone.

So we're talking about the back bone of the body. So here we can pretty well begin to understand why Satan would lie when the prime from the word âtseh is to close the eyes, Satan says, "Surely they will be opened". What it means is it will close your spiritual eyes and open your eyes of the world and that which it demands and so-forth. But know and understand that it is not an unusual term for us to say this is the trunk of my body. Or, what about your family? Many of you are proud of them and some of us, we have maybe one or two that we would like to break a certain limb off. It's called a family tree. (holding up arms) These are our limbs. The backbone is the skeletal formation of the central nervous system that runs through the spine and that gives you knowledge when it ties into the brain. You are supposed to think with it. Surely your eyes will be opened or the opening and closing of them is a part of the word âtseh.)

and they knew that they were naked;

(They knew before, but their knowledge now received a new meaning. Adam became "naked" by losing something of God's glorious likeness.) and they sewed fig leaves together,

(Man-made covering. This is the root of the parable of the fig tree, see v.15. F-I-G. Fig. What kind of orchard were they in? Apple? No! Fig? Yes.)

and made themselves aprons.

(To girt themselves. Not napkins. Aprons - H2290 gôrâh - (1,2) khag-ore', (3,4) khag-o-raw'. From H2296; a belt (for the waist): - apron, armour, gird (-le).

Masks to hide where they had eaten of the apple? That’s not what God’s word says. Don’t lie to children in churches. They were aprons of fig leaves to cover their private parts.)

8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

(No "quest for God" in the fallen man.)

9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, "Where art thou?"

(Question not for information. God knew were they were at. The first question comes from God to the sinner in Old Testament. First question in the N.T. of the seeking sinner "Where is He?" Matt.2:2)

10 And he said, "I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

11 And He said, "Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?"

(He knew. This was not a question to get information.

God Himself walked and talked with this first man of the Garden of Eden. Adam had the glory, and mercy of contact with almighty God. God loved Adam so much that He formed this special garden just for him and his wife Eve. The law that existed at that time consisted of only one thing; "Don't eat of that one tree". Don't mess around with Satan.

Satan knew God's plan, that the Christ would come through the womb of Eve, and Satan was out to destroy that plan of God's. Satan wanted to destroy the seed of the woman, meaning "Christ". Satan tried to see to it that the lineage of Christ would become polluted, and that the promised Messiah would be unable to give Himself for the perfect sacrifice, so that men and women could be brought back to the Father, our God.)

12 And the man said, "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me,

(Characteristic of fallen man, implying blame to the Lord God as well as to his wife. And man’s been doing it ever since. "It’s the woman’s fault!")

she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."

13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, "What is this that thou hast done?" And the woman said, "The serpent

(= the shining one, Satan.)

beguiled me, and I did eat."

(Again of 2 Corinthians 11:3 where the word "beguiled" is exapatao, stated by Paul, and means "wholly seduced". Open your minds, spiritually or physically? You live with it how ever you choose.)

14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent,

(= Satan)

"Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go,

(Figure of Speech = utmost humiliation)

and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

(Fig. = utter defeat. Statement of degradation)

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed;

(Sperma.

Seed - H2233

zera - zeh'-rah

From H2232; seed; FIGURATIVELY fruit, plant, sowing time, posterity: - X carnally, child, fruitful, seed (-time), sowing-time.

H2232

zâra - zaw-rah'

A primitive root; to sow; figuratively to disseminate, plant, fructify: - bear, conceive seed, set with, sow (-er), yield. Satan has seed = children. See Matt.13:37,38. Still holds true to this day. This was a warning.)

it

(I.e. Christ)

shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel."

(Which were nailed to the cross. They denote the temporary suffering of the Seed, and the complete destruction of Satan and his works. Head = vital part, Heel = lower part. This is the first promise of prophecy.)

16 Unto the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;

(Eating apples does this? see 4:1)

and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."

(According to where you're at, work things out for yourself. If momma's happy, everybody is happy.)

17 And unto Adam he said, "Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, 'Thou shalt not eat of it:'

(Here is the sin. Man has had to grub out a living ever since. See 4:17)

cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;

(The sign of the curse. What else what was brought forth is not stated; but the word may include all kinds of noxious insects, &c., as well as poisonous weeds.)

and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

(This verse paints a bleak picture for mankind, and the destination of the body that our soul is housed in, is the dust of the earth that it is made of.)

20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve;

(= Life, Life-spring. Showing he did believe God)

because she was the mother of all living.

(Only because Christ the Living Word would come through her. If you are not in Christ you are dead. Remember Adam & Eve were not the first human beings. See 1:27)

21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

(Blood shed because of their sin.

This is the first blood sacrifice, given to cover them and protect them in the shame of their sin. Adam and Eve used fig leaves to hide their shame, however, here it is God that makes the sacrifice to cover the sin.

Our protection for living in this final generation is found in Ephesians 6:10-20. That protection is the armor of God that we must use to fight the spiritual battle of these end times. That battle is not of guns and bullets, but it is fought with words and concepts. It is a spiritual battle with demons and things not seen with the eye, for it will be fought with doctrines and ideas on the battlefield of your mind.

Christ was the blood sacrifice that God gave to all mankind, that we can see and accept to cover our sins. Though animal sacrifices were the acceptable covering temporarily for sin until Christ's death, the only true forgiveness for all sin is in the blood of Jesus Christ. That is the only acceptable way to God. [John 3:16])

‎22 And the LORD God said, "Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:"

(Clearly shows the nature of man. Salvation was not available at that time.

This is the documentation that the "Tree of Life" is Jesus Christ. The price that had to be paid first was Jesus Christ's death on the cross, then after the shedding of His blood, all mankind can take freely of Him and have eternal life. Only by the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, and His living as a man, then His sacrifice on the cross could eternal life be offered to man.)

23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24 So he drove out the man;

(Notice the failure of man under every dispensation)

and He placed

(Heb. shakan = to place in a tabernacle, hence dwell.)

at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims,

(Celestial spirit-beings)

and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way

(= preserve, so that man should not "live for ever" in his fallen condition, but only in Christ.)

of the tree of life.

(Same as it is today, Christ.)

Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man from the LORD."

(It would seemingly be read by many that Adam was certainly Cain's father, but bear in mind and listen to verse 2)

2 And she again bare his brother Abel.

(What is this word “again” in the Hebrew?

H3254 - yaÌ’saph yaw-saf’ A primitive root; to add or augment [often adverbially to continue to do a thing].

If a woman continues in labor what does that mean? So we see in this, that to continue means she continued in labor and there were twins; twins, both in the womb. They were paternal twins. Cain being of Satan's seed, Abel of Adam's seed. Two separate bags of water, two separate conceptions. See 1 Chron. 2:55, the Kenites = the sons of Cain, came through the flood. The name Abel = breath, vapor, transitory, probably because of the shortness of his life.)

And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

I AM An American. I AM not a "hyphen in America". I AM a Citizen of America!

2012-01-18T12:36:00.002-05:00

I am an AMERICAN!!!

I am NOT a Paulbot, a Conservative, an Isolationist, a Tea-Partier,An Occupy Wall Streeter, A Constitutionalist, A Libertarian, A Republican, A Democrat, A Independent.

I AM an AMERICAN!!!

I am NOT "against" the world, I AM FOR AMERICA. I do not HATE "you over there", I LOVE America. I DO NOT DESIRE "you over there" HARM. I DESIRE peace "here". I DO NOT want to POLICE "you over there". I want FREEDOM "here".

I AM AN AMERICAN!!!

I BELIEVE in the celebration of the "collective" group of US known as AMERICA, not just "the individual". THOUGH if "The Family of America" are taken care of , then "the individual Of That Family" is secure, but not at THE EXPENSE of "the whole".

For this reason, attachment to the USA can not easily rely on PATRIOTIC emotions arising from ties of family or religious beliefs, or "traditional bonds" to place. Attachment to America must rely on Patriotic heroism arising from ties to ideals. America should transcend this land going forth into other lands, but by invitation and desired choice not invasion and man-handling! If a "people other there" DESIRE Freedom we must immulate it not castrate it. We must sing it as a cage bird sings...for though the bird may not free, still has a song in her heart! Sing it caged from the rooftops, til the power WITHIN cast-off that without which presses in to steal heart. WIN FROM WITHIN!

Our PATRIOTIC songs sings of the "LAND where our(founding) fathers died". Consider Russia and Germany, we never refer to America as the fatherland (patria) or motherland as did "they". We are a LAND of "ideals" and "values" and the FACT that America embraces people from all over the world, who come with different ways, speak different languages, and practice different religions. We have Never established a National Church or even articulated National Morality. Our tolerance, and even encouragement, of ethnic and religious pluralism is a GREAT NATIONAL STRENGTH.

YET on the "political" RED and BLUE sides of the Great Divide ...therein lies the "Hyphen in America". Which CAUSES you to chose a "side" OF AMERICA to which you belong and in THAT ACT OF CHOSING (cause) We as A People are STILL Divided against One Another "effect".

Oh my People Israel.. have you clung so tightly to despotism and greed, that You have forgotten WHO WE ARE? When tornadoes come and "passover your house" and stikes the neighbor, do you SIT there in self-righteousnous and think "they" got what they had coming? OR... as IS THE SPIRIT of America, you dive in pulling from the wreckage- LIFE...searching desperately throught the rummage IN HOPE of LIFE?

The State "according to our creed" EXISTS tto PROTECT THE RIGHTS "of individuals; the INDIVIDUAL does NOT exist to PROMOTE the "glory of the state". Our INDIVIDUAL rights "encourage" our PRIVATE pursuit of happiness and prosperity--within the limits set by LAW, but not necessarily with a view to WHAT WOULD PROMOTE "the COMMON or PUBLIC good". NO wonder the BIG BOX "cookie cutter" Politicians cut of the same cloth of The Establishment can NOT permit the Big Bad Wolf of The Fed to relinguish the grip of the sheep, and grant The Truth that States have the right to provide good pasture for the Sheep of America!

We jeolously GUARD our freedoms and our privacy, and when "the establishment" of the NWO Preys upon that "jeolousy" baits us with deeply deceptive encroachments upon them...and we lend to "them" our VOICES of FREEDOM saying "YES Master of the Great American Plantation, go forth and Protect US for in YOU we Trust"...Go "over there" and keep it from our shores ALL THE WHILE WE SURRENDER from within with the creations of Homeland Security and Bigger Government and in ignorance and deception do not see "it" IS here mascarading amongst us in "counterfeit" forms of Freedom with "illusionary security and prosperity".

I ask you, I DARE you to SEARCH your soul and being and ask YOURSELF what it IS to truly say I AM AN AMERICAN. When we can "recall" those IDEALS, and STAND IN THEM, then we will be standing in the gap, bridging that Continental DIVIDE between The Red and The Blue, and in that ACT will be showing the WORLD what is is when we put the WHITE back "inbetween" The Red and The Blue. Turn off the BooB Tube, Turn on YOUR HEART. Search it. Listen to IT. and then ACT. I love you so much and until WE UNITE, we shall all be slaves on this Great Plantation irregardless of the color of our skin!

Just sharing Pieces of TEE....

Let Us United Under God Put the white BACK "in between" The Red and The Blue

2012-01-17T14:53:00.012-05:00

Its always been a curiosity of mine, how some are quick to say, they're Republican or Democrat, Liberal or Conservative, Gay, Straight, White, Black, Christian, Atheist, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, White Collar, Blue Collar and so on. WE ascribe to groups as if they somehow define who we are. But, what if we courageously just listened to one another? What if we adopt the idea of respect for one another? Would we learn to collectively partake in the one group we're ALL a part of? Humanity. Our CULTURAL IDENTITY= ONE NATION under God.

Its been a long long journey through the fog of spin-doctors and deception...but if folks will only do as I and many others are beginning to do for OURSELVES "read up" on Ron Pauls Gold Standard and His "message" of Liberty and Freedom from The Tyranny of A Group of Private Bankers who have WEASLED themselves into OUR Free Enterprise SYSTEM via their Federal Reserve SYSTEM and in "effect" have STOLEN The Wealth of Our Nation! Until The People truly WAKE UP to the BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATION TOOL that is in place to Prevent US from being Rich, and in "effect" Keep The People In Bondage much like it was in the days of Pharoah. If we could STUDY The Soviet Union, and Egypt during The Time "before" God Raised Up Moses to "deliver" The People. . In likemanner so shall it be in these end-times we are living!

Consider The Soviet CASE: to my knowledge no BUSINESS ever "went-under" in The Soviet SYSTEM, but SOCIETY IN GENERAL grew "poorer". Think of THAT Soviet "system" applied to the Banking INDUSTRY in America and you have The Fed. The advent of The Fed basically represented the beginning of the end of laissez-faire. It turned the entire money system over to public management on behalf o POLITICAL "causes"... in the name of Illusionary Prosperity! I say its TIME to lay hold on OUR LAND "in the name of Jesus Christ" and DRIVE OUT THESE MONEYCHANGERS from our Midst! Stay focused on the ISSUE of Freedom, not having your VOTE chopped up and swayed to one of the New World Order Globalization Candidates! This is the DEEP Truth at stake here! America is UNIQUE...E Pluribus Unum, but "they" have so desired to CAUSE the CITIZENS to focus elsewhere on the GLOBAL agenda, not The American Agenda! This is the Great Divide and SOURCE of Confusion and Deception!

Consider Egypt and we have to go back to Genesis 47:15 "So when THE MONEY failed in the LAND of Egypt and in the LAND of Canaan, All the Egyptians came to Joseph and said "Give us Bread, for why should we die in your presense. For The Money has FAILED."

Our grandparents generation were SOLD a bad Bill of Goods in the guise of The Federal System, and took a people and preyed upon their FEAR and arrested the Trust of Our People In God and The Abundance of The Universe, into Trust in a Financial Tower of Babel.

Newt may be eloquent in speech and can do a great debate dance with Obama. But at the end of the day it still ALL boils down to returning the Natural Resourses of This Nation BACK to The People, Returning The Wealth of This Nation BACK to the People, Limited Government, States Rights...and Putting The CITIENS of America FIRST...not The Elite. Our VOTE should be for FREEDOM, and the PRINCIPLES of Our Founding Fathers not the Transformation that erodes our CITIZENSHIP of its Freedom for Bondage of The New World Order!

Look to the track records of Integrity, not just spin-doctored Speeches. Even I at times have a hard time getting across my points eloquently but I keep drilling and shining the Light on THE ISSUES, and conquering DIVIDE in an effort to UNITE our people for the COMMON GOOD. The Politicians mostly seek to have us chose a SIDE of the issue and remain Polarized. I wish that the people would wake up. Watch the Hannity interview again. SARAH DID NOT ENDORSE NEWT. She specifically said that. Remember 08 and how McCain would not vet Obama the way Sarah did. His campaign tried to stifle her and when that didn't work, they went on the attack on her from the bunker, aiding and abetting the Obama (NWO) campaign. This is what made her the star that she is today among conservatives. Do not get lost in this battle. It is a campaign war being picked up after 08'. We need Newt to take down Romney. He is the best debater out there and to lose him now will make Romney the nominee. Newt Gingrich will go down in flames, but he WILL take Romney with him. Wake up America!!! And get "positioned" for A CONSERVATIVE non-establishment New World Order Politician to take the helm. We need a REPRESENTATIVE of The People, The CITIZENS of America! Lies "sharpenedeth" the ears and makes one KEENER to actually HEARING THE TRUTH! Wake Up My People! America is rising, but BABYLON is going down.

Only in a UNITED VOICE declaring SET OUR PEOPLE FREE will The Dream Of MLK, The Mission of Christ come to fruition.

Again, I ask you to consider the Truth and not what "they" say about Ron Paul not having a chance and NOT voting for him....this is once again The Elite and Special Interests who Work for the CAUSE Of The New World Order ONLY, and do not care one iota for We The Citizens of This Great Nation. "They" KNOW the POWER That We The People have and IF WE EXERCISE IT at the Ballot Box....can send then PACKING! But "they" smear with nasty campaigns. The BIG BOX "PARTY" speaks to the "Liberty seeking Americans" to sway their VOTE for "fear" of this or that. They have "confused" The People into doing The Devils Bidding by drawing VOTES away from FREEDOM, and cast onto a candidate who is STILL at "heart" is ANTI America for The Cause of The New World Order working for those BIG BUCKS who have backed them. WE are held accountable To God for His House. America was to be a place of refuge for Those who desired REST (Sabbath) and escape (Exodus) from Tyranny an came To America!In "establishment" Washington I see only Eunicks.

As a Citizen of America, I plant a stake in the American Soil and Ideals for which we identify ourselves, as individuals and a People. IN the absence of rightly dividing the premise to which America is founded upon and the usurping of the White House via varied SEATS who "attempt" to drive this ship in their New World Order Agenda is ignorance to the nth degree.

We as a People must learn to get back to the CORE values of what do we look up to and revere? That larger "community" and IDEALS are we atttached and devoted? FOR WHAT are we willing to fight and sacrifice? For in "forgetting" The masses have been hood-winked and caught being "assimulated" into the LARGEST COMMUNITY (New World Order) in existence "founded" on the Elitist Cause that we The "small minded" People need to be Governed and thusly because we sit quietly, tails tucked between our legs, looking to the Great Master of The New World Order Plantation to set us free, yet shackled us even tighter for in being shackled so long The People have forgotten THE STRENGTH that lies WITHIN us as A People United UNDER God, and have allowed The Left and their "social agendas" to divide us against one another as the Right drives another wedge.
My "battle" is one of Spiritual matters Of America ...on the reigning ideology that welcomes immigrants to our shores YET no longer calls for their assimilation into OUR "melting pot" but instead celebrates their diversity, multiplicity, and cultural distinctiveness" the political "unum" of America is lost amidst THE FOCUS on the multicultural "pluribus".

As I have said recently to the Construction Worker on my house who is Hispanic who took over the job of renovations after I had to fire the White worker for being drunk in the middle of doing the work and making such a mess by weeks end. Our "conversation" was on the recent "immigrants" (and their children) usually KNOW from the "fresh EXPERIENCE" how their LIVES HAVE IMPROVED by coming to the United States of AMERICA, yet the "well-off" children, the NATURAL -BORN children knwoing little of history from A Biblical Perspective truly understand the Political Agendas of "some of The Leadership" taking up residence in the White House, and Congress and The House of Representatives...who by "their" mission attempt to SIMULATE USA "into" their BORG-LIKE NWO and they take for granted the PRIVILEDGE of an American CITIZENSHIP amd prosperity, and lend ear to the Talking Heads, intellectuals without Heart, who tread HEAVILY over the ink of The Constitution, opinionated PROPANGANDA media machine turning out spin-doctered words of infection making SICK the MINDS AND HEARTS of America as politicians TALK of Globalization and the NEED to "regard" America (and The People make up her) as Citizens of The World.

EUNICKS! CBC! GOB!

Between such cosmopolitan universalism and ethnic and racial "tribalism", NATIONAL pride and attachment have become disparaged, and in some French Quarters, and rooms filled with the stagnant smoke from overpriced cigars, and select Cognac filled Oval offices and War Rooms....been made OBSOLETE!

But I say to you National Identity and Citizenship in America face deeper and more permanent challenges, some linked to the special CHARACTER of our Liberal democratic republic. While The American REPUBLIC was founded as -----and I might add REMAINS----a Nation not of birth,lineage, or inherited monies and ways, BUT OF IDEAS...the equal rights to life, liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness; freedom of religion, and religious toleration; majority rule (and thats not taking a poll of 25 people out of a nation and the majority of THAT number sets precedence).No , the MAJORITY RULE with minority rights (not affirmative action either). ANYONE who embraces these IDEAS is in Spirit ...AMERICAN, and to those who make up that number is AMERICA.(And anyone who does not make up those ideals have no ROOM to take up residence in this COUNTRY!)

The time has come for a LOVE REVOLUTION in the spirit of America. Maybe God in His infinate wisdom knows that once a people taste FREEDOM, and something comes along to STEAL it from them, then a PEOPLE of ethics and priniciple WILL RISE UP....that MINORITY rights standing on the ROCK and FOUNDATION of The Church, The Constitution, The Truth, "guiding others" for an INFORMED PEOPLE can and WILL I MIGHT ADD become a supportive people.

Win from WITHIN! For what is IN YOU is how one is baited. If GREED exists, oh the establishment will goad you with a bubble loan so that you may run out and party hard, vacation and play...but when the bubble bursts...who laughs? They are....Just next door to me I bear witness to this. A loan taken out on a paid for home, back when "the bubble" said homes are worth 100,000 in this neighborhood and the banks loaned it. Today, that house has been bought by Fannie Mae, and I talked to a Real-Estate Agent representing Fannie Mae (who for the informed TRULY KNOW THE FEDERAL RESERVE owns Freddie and Fannie)....and today that house is on the Market for a mere $21,000.00 They in all deceitfulness LENT those loans (scientifically created the bubble) and then they turn around and acquire our ASSETS cheaply.

Do not be swayed by the new tactics of DIVISION in statements which illude Ron Paul can NOT win;therefore, swing YOUR VOTE in fear of what "they" say. I will end with a comment from a new friend on Facebook...as I feel she does speak eloquently the FEAR of many of you the readership.

THE READER WRITES... "they" say Ron Paul cannot win ... That by splitting the votes between the 2/3 that don't like Romney, among the remaining candidates - Romney will take it and "seal the deal". I want to vote my heart ... Ron Paul ... but will that be a wasted vote? Santorum may be the only one with a chance to beat Romney .... it feels like the devil you don't know may be worse than the devil you do! I guess that's politics... it's impossible to succeed as our founding fathers hoped and promised without a man like Ron Paul ... but CAN his true message be heard? It's just such a foreign concept from the status-quo... and people fear change ... although the SAY that's what they're voting for :)

This ISN'T about "acceptance or tolerance" its ALL about LOVE

2012-01-15T14:06:00.009-05:00

Your BLESSING is waiting for YOU at "a PLACE that is UNCOMFORTABLE". God in all His Wisdom places "something that you NEED" in someone you "don't like" so that ONLY the COMPASSIONATE will receive it.

This morning as I prayed about this and thought back over my OWN life, and my childhood PAIN at the hands of a ruthlessly abusive Mother. I can recall many days I cried out to my Father in heaven why does she hate me and hurt me? At 15, I left home and was FREE of her. But when I returned to Christ in 1994 after many years of sin and unrepentance-- though I possessed a good soul, I had negative "behaviours" as a RESULT of my upbringing (SIN)...yet moreso, as a result being absent from The PRESENCE of My Lord. In returning to Him, and sitting in His "Presence" and Healing....my mind wandered back to My Mother whom I hated for so long!

In time I came to realize that Hate is merely the LOVE "gone in the negative direction". The PRESENSE of The Lord "changed my Heart" towards her. I went back and in time REBUILT that "relationship". You see "conversation" is THE SEED for "relationship". Many "conversations" later..both With My FAther in Heaven, and My Mother on Earth...came forth "new life". RECONCILATION. All sin (the transgression of the Law) is "negative" behaviours stemming from a LACK OF HONOR. As I looked at those 10 commandments which is The Law for The House of Israel...I KNEW I could keep all of them ...but that one HONOR THY MOTHER and Father tripped me up. In "prayer" (one of those many CONVERSATIONS with The Lord) I ASKED How do I HONOR her when she beat me so?

I remember the Day The Lord spoke to my spirit...how do you "balance your checkbook?" I sat dumb founded for the longest, and in the midst of gardening one spring day the answer HIT me months later. You ADD the "NEGATIVES" to the positives like "reconciling a bank statement". You take all the "negatives" and WEIGH IT against Jesus accomplished on the Cross, and What The Word States like reconciling your checking account.

Though NEGATIVE "behaviours" have come to visit many in our lives (sin)....it is ONLY reconciled through the POSITIVES....and HONOR. Honor "protects", Honor "corrects", Honor "submits", Honor "yields". IN so doing (Act), I returned to my mother, and in time we were close. Within 6 months of our closeness she passed away. But the BLESSING in this story is the pain healed, RELATIONSHIP "restored", and though in her passing she had slipped into a coma...waited for me to walk through the door to her bedside, waited til I arrived and she passed in my arms.

The point of my sharing this.. is this. SELF-TALK is meditation. It is words muttered outloud under our breaths. It is the result of seeds "planted in our spirits". It controls us. PROTECT YOUR MINDS ALWAYS! There is an equation to Life. Many know it as SEED = HARVEST. But it is really SEED + "expectation" = HARVEST. Within EXPECTATION lies your FAITH. See God does not RESPOND to Tears, to Pain, to Complaining...BUT TO FAITH ONLY!

Our Lord's PURPOSE being answered, He OPENLY commended her faith. In Matthew 15:28 it is written "Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith: be it to you even as you will. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour."

Again in Matthew 9:22 IT IS WRITTEN Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment.

ALL BLESSINGS come "through CONVERSATION". Through "conversation" A RELATIONSHIP. Through a RELATIONSHIP is KNOWLEDGE. Is it really so hard to understand those so RELIGIOUS when Christ Himself says as it is written in Matthew 7:22-23 (KJV)

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23And then will I profess unto them, I never KNEW you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

In conclusion: If it is A Truth I share in my message today that THAT "Knowing" someone begins with a CONVERSATION, and MANY conversations "build" a RELATIONSHIP (umm interesting to me Christ was a CARPENTER by trade Prayer IS a CONVERSATION. It would behoove us to deduce from THAT...at the end of the day it will not be about sins of flesh, it will be ALL a matter of The Heart and how many CONVERSATIONS with Him have you YES YOU had in order to KNOW Him. Not how much scripture you know. But application of IT circumcised in the Heart.

America isn't coming apart because of The Taliban, Islam, Muslims, The Homosexual, The Prostitute, The America is coming apart because of Her Refusal to have conversation with Christ, Repenting and TURNING and Returning, and To HONOR Him alone. I urge you RIGHT NOW to stop right where you are. To have a CONVERSATION with Him laying it all on the line With Him in EXPECTATION of outcome and hold to FAITH. Then ask yourself whom do you need to have "that certain conversation" like mine with My Mother?

In Whom All that He may have just Hidden your Blessing.

Luke 21:
22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled...

Let's Gather IN PRAYER and PUT the WHITE back "in between" The RED and The Blue and stop all this Bi-Partisan America of Politics...for I am neither Democrat nor a Republican. I am a Constitutionalist! I am an American! I am a Christian! I am a Woman!

To "Adventist Challenged" The Woman DOES NOT SPEAK...but the Spirit THROUGH HER...for that is HER "office" as He Paid the Price for SIN, She pays it for DECEPTION. Let them with an ear hear. Lord, Everything that I am...I give to You. Use me. Search My heart, and purge from it anything that is not Holy to You , that You may sit and Judge. May Your enemies be made your footstool! Amen!

2012-01-14T12:10:00.006-05:00

Every once in a while a private conversation had MUST be shared openly. This is one of those times "for me". One to expose my flaw (I shouldn't have called him an old fart)...not very lady-like or Christian. The rest I share so as to not have The Devil running to and fro saying what was NOT said. I EXPOSE MYSELF, and Let The Spirit guide "others" into the MEAT and understanding of WHY I chose to "openly" SHARE this conversation. In Jesus Name Amen.

HI Teresa,

First I wish you a very blessed Sabbath, the Lords day, HE made for man and not man for the Sabbath.

My name is Yuergen , I’m 72 and was born into the SDA church. Left, CAME OUT, to be separated from the Harlot & Whore of Babylon, in oder not to touch the unclean thing and get unclean myself. Rev. 18:1-5

As I see, you call yourself a protestant. May I asked, if you’re an Sabbath (Saturday) keeping protestant or an Sun-Day keeping protestant?

Do you believe in the Trinity or do you believe in the ONLY TRUE GOD and his Son Jesus Christ? John 17:3

Brotherly greetings: Yuergen K.

TeresaDSmith Mercyministries

I am unique my dear heart for I believe there is not ONE specific DAY of Sabbath, but that the Lord's REST (Sabbath) be EVERYDAY in Him.

Yes, you are most correct in that I if I must declare myself a "thing" I am a PROTESTANT.

Yuergen, it is tricky your question: "Do you believe in the Trinity or do you believe in the ONLY TRUE GOD and his Son Jesus Christ? John 17:3"

umm John 17:3 :17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

I am most likely very unique in my take of this: I see God in 3 "persons" (God The Father, God The Son, God The Holy Spirit) while also I see the 3 "offices" of God (The Godhead, The Messiah, The Comforter).

I have had this particular conversation so many times over on the past 3 years that I have literallly lost count.

I can summise my beliefs in a blog post I wrote as follows: (and again I state LET US RESPECT each other with DIGNITY and RESPECT....if you disagree don't just SAY OR WRITE IT...present you case as will I, but I do say at the end of the day, IF WE BOTH truly LOVE THE LORD, then that should be our common ground, and let differences fall by the wayside, for am sick to death of combative spirits who seek only in self-righteousnous to be RIGHT, I say Let The Word reign in US BOTH, and may we both be better for the "debate" NOT "argument"......AGREE???

Now for my blog post on my beliefs:

Now for my blog post on my beliefs:
one:There is no Rapture and the Anti-Christ (Satan) will be in Jerusalem soon

Teresa,

then you believe that the 10 commandments have been abolished on the Cross?

Well, then I have to say good bye, because protestant americans are building right now the image of the beast (america) by reaching out over the gulf to the Vatican.

Where soon, you’re going to worship the SUN-DAY to keep it holy for the Beast/Pope.

I cannot work with someone who believes in doctrines made by man and the Devil.

It’s a shame, but Christ tell me, not to mingle with the unclean symbolised thru falsehood and error Faith/Truth.

God be with you sister and give you heavenly eyesalve that you me see the difference between falsehood & truth. J.K.

(EUHARLEE...she laughs as she runs!).....

Adventism Challenged

I guess, you’re a bid in the “New Age Theology” movement. You’re truly working with unclean Spirits. Believing in a 3 personality God, is spiritistic and unclean. If you would be smart, you would google and find out that the Trinity has its origin in the babylonian pagan religion, as the holy Sunday worship and the eternal human spirit.

You have established your own religion and that is a big NO-NO......what the Bible concerns.

God bless: Yuergen K.

(EUHARLEE:she laughs as she runs)...............

Adventist Challenged
believe in a Rapture. That did happened when Christ died, many graves opened.

I believe that Satan is coming as an angel of light and will tell the world, and you, that he is Christ and will perform such powerful miracles, that the very elect will fall to their knees and worship Satan.
God hates the Falsehood offshoot ministries, especially when led by women who need to sit down and shut up in the presents of Christ and Men.

I would hate to be your husband Teresa. God is the head of Christ ( biblically ) and Christ is the head of Man and the Man is the head of the Women.

You don’t believe it, we go apart.....Your ways are not my ways and neither they are Christ’s way.

I deal with Christ only, and not with a self-made Women Minister.
God put the leading of his sheep in man’s hand and not in a women’s hand for a very good reason. I’m not afraid of you Teresa. If Christ is on my side, who can prevail against that?

(EUHARLEE...she laughs as she runs!).....

Adventism Challenged

Don’t worry Teresa. Christ will deal with you personally......Your name is written in the big black book in heaven.

I only fear Christ, but never a women. Look what women have done to religion and this world. Give women the leadership and Sodom & Gomorrah will repeat itself.

I am in no need of rebuking. I KNOW who I am. I KNOW who I serve, and what I stand for. As for taking The Lord's Name in VAIN...I KNOW what that means also. Since You have already summed me up, I will offer more meat for the slaughter in my writing Thou Shall Not take the Name of The Lord in VAIN. Please go STUDY:
http://www.musingsandramblingsoftee.blogspot.com/2011/04/keeping-covenant-thou-shalt-not-take.html

I DO NOT, and more importantly in the very near FUTURE will not. I serve HIM and HIM alone, and do not allow the chains of DOGMATIC RELIGION put Him back on the cross. He went there set me FREE, I accept that blood, Believe in the 10 commandments as LAW of which they really roll into TWO (but I know you are wise enough to already know that also) and at the end of the Day The Greatest is LOVE.

Having said that, I am not sure how we got on on the wrong foot. You have been "short" with me and I having been very tired and having been drained from my week. I want to say forgive me for any "tone" as I forgive you...But should you truly desire to discuss the Word fine BUT you already have all the answers.

For me the most important is The Blood, accepting it makes me BLAMELESS BEFORE HIM as along as I REPENT of SIN.

I don't get tripped up in the small stuff, and allow MAN or WOMAN to judge me, for He alone is my Judge.

The other most important thing is to KNOW that The Anti-Christ whom is none other that Satan, The Son of Perdition, along with the Fallen Angels will be booted out of Heaven to this Earth very soon (rev 12) that is IF your church allows you to read Revelations as Many say no need to read it for you are gonna be gone when He comes for The Church and they miss the mark aby mistaking The Church for when John was "taken there" so as to be given Revelation knowledge By Christ to plant here with WE who desire to stay behind (actually ALL will be here no one is going anywhere) but I use that term tongue in cheek as so many want to be the first one "taken" when the Rapture comes.

Anyway, I prepare my mind and sharpen my self for THAT day of being delivered up before the Synagogue Of Satan, and I do not get pulled off and side-lined by people who have not spent any amount of time with me to KNOW me, and think they "have my number"...how silly of anyone who begins to think that.

If YOU were to truly study me, and KNOW me...oh dear one what a wealth of LOve, Mercy, and so much you would gain.

But you have deduced me to a wolf in sheeps clothing and one who would ravish your study group. I am not in need of another study group. I have plenty, and actually spend more time alone in The Word, with the Strongs Concordance, and The Holy SPirit who gives to ALL who seek ample wisdom in Him. RELIGION I HATE, Me Father I love. Jesus Christ THE MESSIAH I accept as His ONLY BEGOTTEN Son, claim His Blood, and I walk out my Faith and beliefs EVERYDAY. I may fall short AS WE ALL DO. but I will leave My Judgement IN HIS HANDS....not yours dear precious one.

I pray you a delightful day, and a blessed one in Him. Shake lose the preconceived idea of you think you know me.....and read my blog....I am no fool and neither and I a self-appointed WOMAN MINISTER.....I chose to SHARE my life, and GIVE BACK the Grace that He sacrificed and gave to me.

And even I will not sit here and pretend to say that I KNOW you are a wolf...for I haven't spent enough time with you either...and a WISE person doesn't make those kinds of flippant judgements of another. I think somehow we just got off on the wrong foot and are out of step in this dance.As far as Taking The LORDS name in vain....here you go....please GO STUDY!

http://www.musingsandramblingsoftee.blogspot.com/2011/04/keeping-covenant-thou-shalt-not-take.html

Have a blessed day!

EUHARLEE!!! My final SAY.........(as follows)...

TeresaDSmith Mercyministries
YK

HEAVEN is where ever the PRESENSE of Christ is. Christ is In HEAVEN "right now" SITTING ON THE THRONE AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD (as are ALL at this moment "the good the bad the ugly" as NO ONE has been "sentenced" to HELL outside of the Son of Perdition (which is Satan himself) . But that "sentence" hasn't been carried out YET. HELL is the GREAT WHITE THRONE Judgement at the END of THE MILLENIUM (the 1000 years of teaching aka THE LORDS DAY) in which those who did not take part TODAY of the 1st ressurrection (mind) and overcome the Beast (Deut 32, Rev 15) are taught TRUTH.

It is during this 1000 years that Satans "presense" (his evil spirit and his body) are locked away where NO INFLUENCE negatively can affect the teachings at this time as The Lord has set-up His Kingdom right here on EArth. God's Elect will teach. THEN after the 1000 years Satan will be "released again" (and I say AGAIN because he will in the very near future be HERE ON EARTH defacto playacting Jesus in his "office" of The Anti-Christ just as Our Lord and Saviour ALREADY came in His "office" as The Messiah)...Satan will be released THEN AGAIN at the end to "test" those who were taught in SPRIRITUAL BODIES during the 1000 years. If folks "overcome" THEN that is partaking of the 2nd Ressurection. You either "overcome" then or AT THAT TIME is Hell which is marching into the Lake of Fire (and the soul PERISHES) meaning is blotted out (which is a very interesting term when studied deeper).

So many of the churches teach Hell like its a literal Lake of fire and people are over there in our site and we see them "burning and sizzling " like a piece of Bacon. This always cracks me up (on one level and then makes me sad at the bad teaching, and then ANGERS me that there are those who get taught this malarky).....When someone is "blotted out" it means that they are ERASED from MEMORY as if they never even existed. This is how there can be no TEARS in Heaven...for how can we rejoice when looking over "there" at someone WE LOVE and they are in pain. LOVE doesn't allow suffering.....

So my dear precious child of God. Get your facts straight because this is SERIOUS BUSINESS. Satan WILL be cast out of Heaven (that DIMENSION) and physically HE WILL BE HERE ON EARTH. His HEAD-quarters will be Jerusalem. The Dome of The Rock where he will be "selling the world" that he is Jesus. If you can pinch yourself and it hurts then we are still in the flesh and this FAKE is an imposter! The DECEIVER who "deceives" the whole world. He will be the Religious BEAST. This is a TIME OF SIFTING dear one....

I am not against YOU Y.K. But I say do not be deceived. We can agree to disagree on all the other "religion" doctrine and "dogma" but do NOT take this last part lightly.

And this is not PROUDNESS standing in the way...for you see I HAVE dug deep to find the TREASURE OF TRUTH, and now I pray for that eyesalve for you....

Only time will tell...but when it comes to ones soul....not a thing to take lightly....

BLESSINGS,
Teresa (a self-made Woman of God...By the GRACE and Authority of Christ. ELECT Chosen just for a moment in time as such, An ELECT who WILL NOT bow a knee to Satan in the very near future)

Now, to you the reader. I say prepare your minds. I attempted to present FACTS line on line, and not get into a combative spirit. I usually do not involve myself to this level. But this was a person who hopped on my Facebook Status THEN went to my email with all this. So though this is an on-going engagement from several days now and is chronologically in Flashback.

There is a LESSON IN IT FOR ALL (myself included and why I chose to be OPEN about this encounter) FOR ME, I needed to remember how Satan TEMPTED Christ with Scripture. If you will recall in this encounter here he stated he knew that Satan comes disquised as an angel of light and will be performing miracles in the sight of man AND YOU (ah heres where he tweeked it) that the very Elect WILL BOW DOWN TO SATAN. (oh dear precious children THAT IS NOT WHAT THE WORD says...it says IF IT WERE POSSIBLE... Matthew 24:24, "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Can you see just how it was so "religiously" tweeked. THAT IS SATANS METHOD OF OPERATION using the Word.

So,what exactly started this latest attack? I pondered where did it begin? On my post yesterday in my defense of America, her IDEALS, etc....this "certain person" popped on the scene publically in commentary, but when I fought with TRUTH PUBLICALLY, then he went privately to email.) I thank God for yesterday for it WAS A GREAT EYE-OPENER...and I know was "permitted" for my edification.
Yesterday Morning my status:
Teresa DSmith Mercyministries

What's on your mind? A comment in my STATUS a few days back on Ron Paul/Sara Palin... I am just getting to answer OPENLY here.@ Adventism Challenged To answer your questions "

*Where have you been when America needed you decades ago?"

Umm, the best way to say this is to say it "in Babylon in the wilderness" in the midst of the battle of self-will and God's Will, war of spirit versus flesh, caught in sin drowning along with many of you being DECEIVED and LIED TO and finding my way OUT OF HER lost and searching finding my place in this tired worn out ole world marching onward in this LOVE REVOLUTION and Redemption of The Body The House of Israel.

*The only balls in Washington are these men, who always have to strife for War. America is a War-Mongul.

I am not sure of the thought process here if you are saying that the only Balls in Washington are the MEN OF WAR? I see only Eunicks. As far as America being a War-Mongul....I beg the differ!

As a Citizen of America, I plant a stake in the American Soil and Ideals for which we identify ourselves, as individuals and a People, and I for one am NO War-Mongul. IN the absence of rightly dividing the premise to which America is founded upon and the usurping of the White House via varied SEATS who "attempt" to drive this ship in their New World Order Agenda is ignorance to the nth degree.

We as a People must learn to get back to the CORE values of what do we look up to and revere? That larger "community" and IDEALS are we atttached and devoted? FOR WHAT are we willing to fight and sacrifice? For in "forgetting" The masses have been hood-winked and caught being "assimulated" into the LARGEST COMMUNITY in existence "founded" on the Elitist Cause that we The "small minded" People need to be Governed and thusly because we sit quietly, tails tucked between our legs, looking to the Great Master of The New World Order Plantation to set us free, yet shackled us even tighter for in being shackled so long The People have forgotten THE STRENGTH that lies WITHIN us as A People United UNDER God, and have allowed The Left and their "social agendas" to divide us against one another as the Right drives another wedge.

My "battle" is one of Spiritual matters Of America ...on the reigning ideology that welcomes immigrants to our shores YET no longer calls for their assimilation into OUR "melting pot" but instead celebrates their diversity, multiplicity, and cultural distinctiveness" the political "unum" of America is lost amidst THE FOCUS on the multicultural "pluribus".

As I have said recently to the Constrution Worker on my house who is Mexican who took over the job of renovations after I had to fire the White worker for being drunk in the middle of doing the work and making such a mess by weeks end. OUr conversation was on the recent "immigrants" (and their children) usually know from fresh experience how their lives have improved by coming to America KNOW from the "fresh EXPERIENCE" how their LIVES HAVE IMPROVED by coming to the United States of AMERICA, yet the "well-off" children, the NATURAL -BORN children knwoing little of history from A Biblical Perspective truly understand the Political Agendas of "some of The Leadership" taking up residence in the White House, and Congress and The House of Representatives...who by "their" mission attempt to SIMULATE USA "into" their BORG-LIKE NWO an dthey take for granted the PRIVILEDGE of an American CITIZENSHIP amd prosperity, and lend ear to the Tlaking Heads, intellectuals without Heart, who tread HEAVILY over the ink of The Constitution, opinionated PROPANGANDA media machine turning out spin-doctered words of infection making SICK the MINDS AND HEARTS of America as politicians TALK of Globalization and the NEED to "regard" America (and The People make up her) as Citizens of The World.

EUNICKS! CBC! GOB!

Between such cosmopolitan universalism and ethnic and racial "tribalism", NATIONAL pride and attachment have become disparaged, and in some French Quarters, and rooms filled with the stagnant smoke from overpriced cigars, and select Cognac filled Oval offices and War Rooms....OBSOLETE!

But I say to you National Identity and Citizenship in America face deeper adn more permanet challenges, some linked to the special CHARACTER of our Liberal democratic republic. While The American REPUBLIC was founded as -----and I might add REMAINS----a Nation not of birth,lineage, or inherited monies and ways, BUT OF IDEAS...the equal rights to life, liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness; freedom of religion, and religious toleration; majority rule (and thats not taking a poll of 25 people out of a nation and the majority of THAT number sets precedence).No , the MAJORITY RULE with minority rights (not affirmative action either). ANYONE who embraces these IDEAS is in Spirit ...AMERICAN, and to those who make up that number is AMERICA.

The time has come for a LOVE REVOLUTION in spirit. Maybe God in His infinate wisdom knows that once a people taste FREEDOM, and somethign comes along to STEAL it from them, then a PEOPLE of ethics and priniciple WILL RISE UP....that MINORITY rights stanidng on the ROCK and FOUNDATION of The Church, The Truth, guiding others for an INFORMED PEOPLE can and WILL I MIGHT ADD become a supportive people. For what is IN YOU is how one is baited. If GREED exists, oh the establishment will goad you with a buble loan so that you may run out and party hard, vacation and play...but when the bubble bursts...who laughs? They are....Just next door to me I bear witness to this. A loan taken out on a paid for home, back when "the bubble" said homes are worth 100,000 in this neighborhood and the banks loaned it. Today that house has been bought by Fannie Mae, and I talked to a Real-Estate Agent representing Fannie Mae (who for the informed TRULY KNOW THE FEDERAL RESERVE owns Freddie and Fannie)....and today that house is on the Market for a mere $21,000.00 They in all deceitfulness LENT those loans (scientifically created the bubble) and then they turn around and acquire our ASSETS cheaply.

IN conclusion to this tangent of my answer you write:

*If there is no war, America is going down......So, my friends, prepare for the soon coming war against Iran

Again I in my simplistic HEART begs the differ. America and her ideals will STAND THE TEST of TIME. No my dear BABYLON IS FALLING, come out of her, and get not caught when the "system" comes a realing.

So I ask? Is acceptance of certain BASIC politcal or philosophical IDEALS as I previously discussed enough to make CITIZENS willing to serve and sacrifice for their country in time of need.

Oh how I look around and think if We Would all pull our monies OUT OF THE FEDERAL System, Co-OP and sit back and watch BERNANKE scramble to stop it from overnight FALLING here in America, and then "systematically" like dominoes around this GLOCAL ECOMONY....down, down, down, and then what is LEFT IS REAL. NOt propped up, piped up, deceptiively held, Oh my it may be tight and I FOR ONE KNOW how tight it could be for I have in my own small world been experiencing down-sizing, getting the knife out and cutting the budget of my own life so as to devote my self to The Lord, To this CAUSE, This Love Revolution....where my heart is for The PEOPLE, as I judge the Cause of the Poor, and Pray To The Father that Vengence Come upon these mindless leaders whose heart is merely for only the butts they pat in future preparations of SELF-GAIN!

Lord ready me........

In conclusion: THE POST THAT SPARKED IT ALL!

OMG...I just have to post this as STATUS. I posted on Ron Paul, and reference about Sarah Palin and what she accomplished as CEO (Governor) in Alaska with BIG OIL, and transferred the RESOURCES back to the PEOPLE (putting citizens FIRST) of Alaska with. I merely stated my thoughts that Ron Paul could DO THE SAME with BIG ELITE BANKERS (Fed Reserve) and RESTORE the wealth OF THE PEOPLE "back" TO THE CITIZENS of The USA. And for one to actually post this to my page is like OMG...beam me up Scottie! Here is my reply:

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. It is error which needs the support of government, truth can stand on it's own. -Thomas Jefferson

GOD IS JUST AND I TREMBLE THAT HIS JUSTICE CAN NOT SLEEP FOREVER!!!

the EFFECT of government coercion is:

"to make one half the people fools and the other half hypocrites, and to support roguery and error all over the earth"

TRUTH IS A RADICAL IDEA TO AN INDOCTRINATED MIND!!!

Cowardice asks the question is it safe? Expediency asks the question is it politic?Vanity asks the question is it popular?

AHH~ BUT CONSCIENCE ASKS THE QUESTION IS IT RIGHT AND JUST?

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right.

@ Keven as I click on your link I read it with dismay. Not only in the perplexing propaganda of the "political" arena, but in the summationary conclusion from which this writer deduces to summise the HEART of Sarah Palin and "justifies" it with the dogmatic INCONCISE reference to a GOOD OLE BOY ESTABLISHEMENT VIEW of scripture. For it reeks of a putrid aroma of so called intelligent man whose "gas" made a u-turn and got lost in its "intended" place of exit, making its escape into the blog forum and speech in his stupidy in this post on Sarah:

If Sarah Palin is an Evangelical, why is she even speaking in public?

According to 1 Timothy 2:11-12: “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.”

According to 1 Tim 2:8-11: I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

What say ye, Sarah? Are you truly into your Bible or do you just want to use that book to further your's and Israel's schemes for world domination?

Instead of what say ye Sarah? I say What say YE? Should she "learn with all subjection" to THE ESTABLISHMENT, to BIG OIL, to THE GOOLD OLE NETWORK at the EXPENSE and COST of American Freedom and Liberty, and JUSTICE for all? Had she came upon the scene scratching her crotch, smoking a stogie, and dousing it into her $250.00 ounce of Cognac...in SILENT behind closed doors of NO Transparency, where only THE ELITE and a select FEW hear, or YELL FROM THE ROOF-TOPS that THE TIME IS NOW...to shift the ABSOLUTE BS in Washington, and DECLARE freedom the the enslavement of stupor that the lost UNRIGHTEOUS men such as Harry Reed, AND WOMEN such as Nancy Pelosi CHATTER on and on about?

GOD FORBID! Keven I am not "attacking" YOU but the absolute audacity of this article is desirous of BEANO.

Where have you been when America needed you decades ago?

The only balls in Washington are these men, who always have to strife for War. America is a War-Mongul.

If there is no war, America is going down......So, my friends, prepare for the soon coming war against Iran.

I will end with this prayer: Father I come before you in the Name of Jesus Christ, kneeling before YOUR throne of Grace and Mercy for ONLY you can Grant it. I ask forgiveness for my err in behaviour in dealing with this one who comes "at" The Woman. Satan is GOOD at coming...thank you Lord for this lesson. I more than ever understand ..., AND AS A SHEEP BEFORE HER SHEARERS IS DUMB. For you took the stripes that we may be healed YOU PAID THE PRICE FOR SIN stepping down from Heaven coming to this Earth in Human Form showing us HOW TO GET IT DONE. So when my enemies (and they are mine because FIRST they are yours...they received YOU not, and they shall receive me not either for only those IN WHOM it is destined from the beginning to do thy WIll and work in these end-times shall HEAR because they ARE yours. The TIME IS NOW to come out of confusion, to wait upon you, to sound the trumpet, TO DECLARE the Day of Vengence and Get ready for the Battle at hand. Lord Ready Me. Lord ready WE who are yours and let us not be side-tracked by nay-sayers whom have not The Truth from the beginning. Lord, Today I draw that line in the sand. Here and no further! It is TIME to take back "stolen property" and not to surrender any more ground to The Devil. NO NEW WORLD ORDER....and if I as a Woman have found favor in your sight...then allow the Annointing to Fall for without it, and YOU nothing I set out to do will come to fruition. But For The Sake of The Kingdom, I ask YOUR Blessing, may Your Holy Spirit move across this Great Nation awakening the People to The Truth of This New World Order. May they use THIS MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION to cast that vote for Freedom, For Liberty, and For all the IDEALS and CHARACTER that makes up A Christian Nation. Though we sin, and fall short we have Repentance, and then up on the horse and ride out again. Let us not be prideful and turn to you, as I ask for THIS LAND to be restored BACK to who she is. And may her "citizens" come to realize that WE ARE CITIZENS OF FREEDOM, and until upon repentance we turn to you, The Enemy will continue to say WE ARE CITZENS "of the world" in a TAKE-OVER of Sovereignty. God Forbid! Thy Will be done in and through We who truly call upon you and KNOW you. Amen!

SEPERATION FROM GOD:Temptation and Deception

2012-01-05T11:45:00.005-05:00

All Virtue comes from God PRESENCE and being IN HIS PRESENCE!!!

I’m sure all of us agree that the enemy is out to tempt us to sin. He is making war against our souls – his hatred towards God is enough to fuel his fiery attacks against those that bear God’s image. Ever wondered why this Christian walk is so hard? Jesus warned us against temptation and sin:

Matthew 26:41: “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Only by abiding in Christ and walking in the Spirit will we be able to withstand temptation. We are weak, but Christ in us is strong enough to withstand it. It has already been proven – He has a 100% clear track record of His life on earth, remember? So if we fail, what are the reasons? I’m convinced that there is only one reason: we don’t spend enough time in His presence. Relying on your own ability will fail for sure.The enemy knows you struggle with that addiction (and not all is to do with drugs...there is the addiction to BEING RIGHT..."self-righteous")it just FEELS so good to put other people in their place with all your KNOWLEDGE of the scriptures!) He waits until you’re physically and spiritually drained until he sends the temptation over your path. But do we see what’s going on behind the scenes – in the spiritual realm? No. We are caught up in our earthly lives and struggles, trying to get through Monday to Friday. People, do we get this, that there is a war going on, a war for our souls, to steal our eternity with God? It doesn’t end with deeds. What about our thoughts? Jesus said hating your brother is as good as committing murder. And:Matt. 5: 27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. “

Sure, it’s easy to stay faithful to your spouse, to not kill someone, to look like a follower of Christ from the outside. But God sees our every thought! So how do we do it??

1 Cor. 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”

Really! Wow. Then why do we fall? Could it be that we don’t talk to God and ask Him to deal with it? Do we trust him at all? If we are in His presence the moment when temptation arrives, will it even be an issue? Do we understand walking in the Spirit? Only in His strength can we have power over the enemy and sin – and yet we try and do it in our own strength. No wonder we struggle!

James 1:12 "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.
15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

“Did you notice that temptation came knocking on Jesus’ door right after His baptism and he started His ministry? But He remained standing because He was praying and fasting, abiding in the Father’s love, quoting Scripture to the devil who could but flee the scene with his tail between his legs. Praise God!

Let’s look at DECEPTION. The oldest trick in the book used against mankind is the TWISTING OF TRUTH.

Gen. 3:1 “Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

NOW THAT’S A LIE. Deception came before temptation.

The most obvious deceptions to us as believers are the “big” lies like Islam and The "MooseLIME Bruddahood". Satan took a small piece of truth and twisted it into a religion of hate. Today it is one of the biggest religions on earth! Then there are the day-to-day lies we hear every day – more than we’ll ever know on this earth!

Here’s an example: I may not have time to spend with my child – again, and the enemy is right there telling him that no one loves him, that he is unloved. Or, me and my husband may have a misunderstanding, carefully orchestrated by the enemy, who hates to see a happy marriage. Satan can’t get enough of adultery, divorce, abortion, etc. He will leave the unsaved alone, because why bother? They’re already lost. No. He goes for the children of God Almighty! Through lies, deception, misunderstanding and confusion he creates heartache and chaos.What about false teachers and false doctrine? They take the Word, twist it, and justify their deeds with THE WORD!! Now THAT’S deception!!

Others preach that Jesus was just a good teacher, a holy man who showed us how to live. HE IS THE ONE AND ONLY MESSIAH! No IFS< AND, OR BUTS ABOUT IT!

Still others believe that ALL roads lead to God, like the Oprah Winfrey fan-club. These are all examples of horrible deceptions carefully planned by Satan to get millions of people "separated from God".

2 Cor. 11:14: “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.” How do we watch against deception and false teachers?

2 Cor. 10:4:”For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,

5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.”

Here are a few warnings from the Word:1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Do not be DECEIVED: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

2 Tim. 3: 12: “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, DECEIVING and being DECEIVED.
14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,
15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

”Matt. 7:15: “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.”

John 10:4: “When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”

”John 14:6 “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

My People, let’s remember that there is a war going on that we can’t see with our physical eyes. We are fighting a battle and we need to be ready 24/7. If we are being tempted or facing deception and we are not fed with the Word of God at that moment, abiding in Christ, we may not have the spiritual discernment that we desperately need to see through his lies and deceit.

Just as the anti-Christ will deceive the whole world in the very near future, many anti-Christs are in the world already, deceiving millions. Make sure you are in Christ and following Him and His voice alone, 100%.

In conclusion, Remember SATAN KNOWS scripture and as many of us have seen VERY RECENTLY in these "groups"...all the KNOWLEDGE of SCRIPTURE does not make one a Christian in DEED, and ACT, for by their FRUIT you sense them. DO NOT BE TEMPTED to "become" SEPERATED FROM GOD off in this clique group or that clique group. Be wiser than the serpent who is stealthily in the prowl from one to another...causing chaos and confusion...again only Satan is the AUTHOR of confusion...pluck him "in those" from your midst...and DO NOT GET SEPERATED FROM GOD!

Keep going. Don't stop. Your on the right path and you are not alone".

2011-12-29T14:42:00.000-05:00

I know one thing GRATITUDE and PRAISE that comes IN THE MIDST OF SUFFERING unlocks the fullness of life...even in the midst of death and job loss. It turns what we have into ENOUGH, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a simple meal of pinto beans and rice into a FEAST! Gratitude makes sense of our PAST, brings peace for TODAY, and creates a VISION for the FUTURE!

The Bible says in Proverbs 29:18, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” It’s good to have goals for God. The Bible says in Philippians 3:14, “I PRESS ON TOWARD THE GOAL to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” When we think of "pressing on"...there comes to mind the picture of a strong wind in opposition almost pushing you BACK from the direction in which you are headed. What is the "IT" FACTOR that keeps us PRESSING ON? To have GOALS in life "for God", to have personal GOALS, to have dreams to believe in, to have a vision to serve God, to be determined to see it through.

If we don’t a vision, we don’t have a LAZER FOCUS. We PERISH for "lack of drive". We PERISH for a "lack of vision", and don’t achieve things in life. To have a dream, "to aim for a vision" to BELIEVE in, to have SOMETHING that so "grips us that we will not let it go"; to have that VISION for God, to be PURPOSE DRIVEN "in God", to BELIEVE in a vision and SEE it come to pass.

Can we say "together" as ONE VOICE…
We have a VISION for this nation; we share a DREAM for this land. We JOIN with angels in celebration, by FAITH we SPEAK revival in this land. Where every knee shall bow and worship You, And every tongue confess that You are Lord, Grant us an open heaven by Your Mercy; ANOINT our prayers this day, And move Your sovereign hand, across this nation.

If trials and tribulations have come to visit you...it is okay. In order TO PRESS ON...there has to be "opposition" (and many of you know I am speaking at this very moment in the midst of my own)...BUT the meat of this message is this: do not BELIEVE upon the tribulations "accept them", but let it NOT be that "SOMETHING" that grips us that we can not LET go in the negative Satanic Realm of Dispair and HOPELESSNESS. Be "shocked" but not dismayed! Stumble but not fall. Lean on the loving arms of Our Father who reaches out to your through authentic Love and His Holy Spirit of Truth. He NEVER promised this Life would be "easy" but He did PROMISE it would be WORTH IT...."if" we hold fast (grip it) to our FAITH.

"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)" (Heb. 10:23).This is an important type of Bible confession that many in the body of Christ have missed.

We are to "hold fast the profession of our faith." In the King James Version, the word profession is used. But the same Greek word homologeo is translated as "confession" elsewhere in the New Testament and means "to speak the same thing as; to AGREE with." So the writer of Hebrews is actually saying, "Let us hold fast the confession of our faith without wavering, for He who promised is faithful."

We often focus on God's faithfulness—and God is faithful. He said, "I watch over My Word to perform it" (Jer. 1:12). Whatever He has said, He will do because "God is not a man, that he should lie" (Num. 23:19).

God is faithful, BUT NOTICE THAT HE REQUIRES SOMETHING OUT OF US. He's faithful to perform His Word—if we BELIEVE AND ACT on it. He told us we have a part to play. If we want His faithfulness to operate in our lives, we must hold fast the confession of our faith without wavering.

Ah the eyes of my eyes are opened. There is no DUTY we so much underrate as the DUTY of being Faithful. In FAITH we sow anonymous benefits upin the world. Be courageous. Ask yourself in the midst of your personal turmoil: am I walking in FAITH so gripped by IT that I BELIEVE and ACT upon it?

The deeply personal answers to this vital question will be different for each of us as each of us are pressing on THROUGH "opposition" threatening to push us BACK from the VISION that The Lord has prepared for us. Satan threatens to grip us with despair in death as The Gilbert family can bear witness to, and myself losing my job just after Christmas, while others around me in my town of Rome, Ga are caught in the grips of the aftermath of the EF3 tornado that touched down less than a mile from my house. I am reminded at this very moment of wrting this that it is NOT the "force" of the opposition threatening to push us BACK or DOWN, but in the POWER of Christ IN US to PRESS ON. Make peace with the knowledge that we can't have everything the way WE would want? Why? Because it is important for each of us to get what we NEED. Trust in the loving WISDOM of your heart. It is only after we acknowledge our INNER NEEDS that we can harness the creative energy necessary to manifest them in our lives. It is inevitable when we are in GREAT NEED of something one finds it. Whether through the providence of Divine INtervention because we are "positioned" to RECEIVE, or too caught in the grip of "dispair" that we become blinded and lost and tossed about by the "winds of opposition".

When we are "concerned yet IN FAITH" for this or this our "concentration" focuses like a laser. Suddenly there's a clarity about all of life because we REALIZE what is important. LIVING is important. FREEDOM is important. THE BASIC SIMPLE things are important. Everyday is a GIFT. You realize that with each breath we breathe WE have been given another CHANCE to obtain right-thinking, to get things right and in order. Most of the time we are given it, and most of the time we receive it and we are GRATEFUL. That is the method of operation of God!

But "worries" MOCK us. They STEAL the joy of living because they follow us around all day like a dark menacing shadow. AT night they hover at the foot of the bed like unwelcomed spirits in a thrid rate horror film just laying in wait to ROB you of necessary sleep. When we are "worried" about this or that then the days are DREADED, and ANXIETY sets up residence in our hearts and minds. As I have shared recently heartache and tragedy may visit us like a guest, but she doesn't have to take up residence. Where that space is OCCUPIED with Faith, HOPE, and a VISION for the future...there can be no room in the INN.

As I look out over this GREAT NATION I see where the enemy has actually used US against ourselves by dividing us against one another in fear, dispair, worry and hopeless faithlessness. It is my sincere prayer that today Spirit annoint this writing and that a sentence leaps off the page as if it had been written just for YOU..yes YOU. Or revelation comes in the song of a bird. Maybe an angel will seem to whisper in your ear serenity is what you desire not security.

I know from EXPERIENCE this week that sometimes the fierce storms come so strong that we find ourselves shivering, but unharmed though the day rough threatens us to find even one thing to be GRATEFUL for...but WE MUST! Why? Gratitude UNLOCKS the fullness of LIFE! Why? Because none of us will be the same person 2 months from now after CONSCIOUSLY giving THANKS each day for the abundance that exists in OUR LIVES. Gratitude sets in motion a SPIRITUAL LAW: the more you have AND ARE GRATEFUL FOR...the more will be given you. Yes, Gratitude is the hearts memory, and FAITH is what "powers" UP and Divine Grace comes down.

So today I begin. I am grateful thou OUTSIDE, winters darkness and cold closes in, INSIDE I have found my own Light where IN IT are found the details of life that beauty is revealed, sustained and nurtured. As I pause in graceful manner (fired yes...but I CHOSE to hold my head in GRACEFUL MANNER) and join with angels and PROCLAIM it is finished! That "chapter" of my life is done. Though as I paid all the bills, I stare at the balance in my checking account $3.58. I smiled. Though to many right now that is a travesty! I see the FULLNESS of the VALUE of what is left in Biblical Numerics. 3 is the number for God. 5 is the number for Grace and Unmerited Favor. 8 is New Beginnings. As I enter this New Year it shall truly be New Beginnings in 2012. I ended this year trusting that everyday moments will soon begin to resonate in a rhapsody of fulfillment as THE VISION stays in focus....Our Nation needs healing, and revival! Though winds of opposition have come to visit...I have come too far to turn back. Like the pioneer women of the early days of this Nations birth, I too shall sing "Keep going. Don't stop. Your on the right path and you are not alone".

I reach out to YOU...yes YOU!

Can we say "together" as ONE VOICE…
We have a VISION for this nation; we share a DREAM for this land. We JOIN with angels in celebration, by FAITH we SPEAK revival in this land. Where every knee shall bow and worship You, And every tongue confess that You are Lord, Grant us an open heaven by Your Mercy; ANOINT our prayers this day, And move Your sovereign hand, across this nation.

What Kind of Drug are you on?

2011-12-09T21:40:00.000-05:00

Tonight I was asked what "drug" am I on? I kinda looked at them in a funny way, and gathered my voice and said "none...why do you ask?" They replied "Everytime I see you, you have a million things going on, projects, things you want to do, and right smack in the middle of it is this smile that grins almost as if you have a secret."

After they paid for their Christmas Tree and left, I pondered what was really said.

For me I think of Life as a journey. Life as safari. Life as a pilgrimage. Life as a garden. Life as the highest art.

Pathfinders. Prospectors.Pioneers.Detectives.Explorers. Archaeologist. Pilgrims. Poets. Gardeners. Artists of the EVERYDAY.

Women of Spirit. Women of Substance. Women with style. Women who have LIVED "the questions". Women READY to embrace the answers. Women who look great in hats. Thats why we wear so many different ones.

Seekers of the Sacred in the ordinary. Real Life. The mystical in the madness,. The Holy Mysteries of the Mundane.

Seekers of Love. Passion. Wholeness.
Authencity.
Where am I headed? Where are we headed?

We're headed HOME.

But before I arrive..WE arrive, there are vast worlds awaiting exploration. Worlds within. Worlds without. Earth. Heaven. Spiritual. Physical.
Heaven on Earth.
Sometimes the terrain is rocky and the slopes steep. Sometimes the jungle is thick and its interior very dark. Sometimes the water is deep and the waves rough.

This is why we need soem variety in our approach. How will I know or we know when we have reached the destination? You'll know.
Its that simple. REAL THINGS are.
Are we there yet?
Not quite.
But it's taking too long.
Often it seems that way. Chronologically we're at the end of the year but the beginning of the journey. Not to worry, We'll have all the time we need to find ourselves.
Someone who loves you unconditionally is at the HELM. Divine Love sustains you, surrounds you, enfolds you, protects you. Go in peace. You are as ready as ever you will be; well equipped for the adventures awaiting. Divine Substance--which is your only Reality--provides abundantly. But you must ASK. Ask For help, supply, guidance, Grace. ASK for the POWER to be switched on. Ask to catch the flow. ASK to soar.

ASK. ASK. ASK>

Ask for a respite this season from all your crises. Surrender suffering, sorrow, pain, loss, lack and want. Surrender Expectations. ASK to be surprised by Joy.

Give thanks, WAIT. Watch what happens. Get excited. Open your arms as wide as you can receive all the miracles with your name on them.

NEVER FORGET THAT ALL YOU HAVE IS ALL YOU NEED!

Believe. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. Believe the One who believes in YOU. All things are possible for those who believe.

Blessings on your courage.

Navigate by the stars. Search the Heavens for yours. Follow it. Keep on the lookout for soulful markers. The souls Awakening is GRATITUDE. The Souls Essence is SIMPLICITY!

Pray your journey is a long one. SAVOR IT. Stop wishing things would speed up. Savor the stops along the way.

May 21, 2011 The WORLD ENDING day that never happened so WHAT IS THE TRUTH?by 'Teresa DSmith Mercyministries on Monday, May 23, 2011 at 12:02pm

"When a well-packed web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, THE TRUTH will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic." Dresden James

I, Teresa D. Smith, believe Heaven is another dimension here on earth. And yes...I believe you (who believe a RAPTURE as commonly taught) do have "part" of it.The clouds mean PEOPLE in the Greek. In a crowd of people. . . (You can't OVERTHROW an EVIL government if all the soldiers are ready to RUN-AWAY or "FLY AWAY"....not the right ACTION). I am not trying to offend anyone or hurt anyone...I truly care so much that it hurts me to know that Satan has caused so many to not "arm" themselves with TRUTH and be ready to be one of those Christian Soldiers (saints) who come "MARCHING IN". We can all sit in Church on Saturdays/Sundays and sing that WE want to be "counted in that number" (777 NOT 666) ...but don't do the "work" necessary to BE so "counted".

STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELVES APPROVED...

It is my prayer to plant some seeds here, leave it to The Father to "call forth" some who want to sudy deeper FOR THEMSELVES asking HIM to touch them, and open their eyes. Please understand to let down "guards" for just a moment and "come unto Him" like a little child (eyes open and full of EXPECTATION...meaning He is the heart knower and sees WHY you come to Him). Is it to seek "HIM", is it to seek "THE TRUTH", is it to just prove that nutjob wrong, or is it to make sure you are understanding ALL That Christ would have us to SEE? Check your MOTIVE before getting started IF you want Fathers Blessings on the Study.

Father, I pray that YOU use this post to "DRAW OUT" and touch those you are seeking TRUTH and that are seeking YOU. Touch and heal IF IT BE THY WILL, and let those who need to slumber stay so to remain protected in the "cloak of innocency" because you love them. Amen.

Much LOVE, BLESSINGS, HONOR and GRACE to each of you who seek The Father I serve, and The Christ who died to set us free from Bondage and Deception.

Now, allow me to put together a tiny study here for you to dig out for yourselves.Here is AUDIO STUDIO broken into 3 small parts in order to not be overwhelmed.

Jesus is The Living Word, and want a journey into the Prophetic...study to know PROPHECY and understand what is "taking place in these end-times). NO FEAR...pure exhileration for we have all been on a long journey. Not sure about you the reader, but even I love a long vacation...but love the minute I get back HOME and can sleep in my OWN BED again. It is the same here with me now, LONG TIME we have been out of the SPIRIT and IN THE FLESH, I long to be HOME again....

No one can truly UNDERSTAND Revelations and the END TIMES, if they can't grasp Genesis and what HAPPENED there!

In conclusion: example: First "manKIND" is mistranslated in the Kings James Bible to just "man" it is genesis chapter 1 verse 26......that is 6th day "creation".....8th day "creation" begins when God rested on the 7th day.....THEN he made Adam , it is NOT WRITTEN as "8th day" it is IMPLIED with "continuity". The verse for ADAM is chapter 2 verse 7....scholars have debated this very many years because the 2 adams in hebrew are so significantly different. one is ADAM and one is ETH HA AdAM....its simple to say that the first ADAM means "mankind" because following it it says that He made THEM both male and female in "OUR" image....THE second ADAM is a special man. The word "eth" is untranslatable by strongs concordance.

In Matthew 13, our Lord and Saviour explains the Parable of the Sower directly to His disciples. He is very explicit about exactly who the sower of the bad seed really is. Matthew 13:37-39 states, "He (Jesus) answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels."

Let no one tell you Christ was speaking in a parable here for He was carefully explaining to His disciples the real meaning of the parable He had previously spoken to the multitude. He talked with them in private, and He used language that a child could understand. Christ's teaching of the seed of the devil (or serpent) was nothing new, it was taught from the beginning of Scripture - Genesis.

In Genesis 3:15 God is speaking to the serpent, "and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel." The bruising of the heel took place when Christ was nailed to the Cross. And finally, for those who still want further proof as to who the serpent really is; we read in Revelation 12:9, "and the great Dragon was cast out, that old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world." Now can anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear have any doubt or confusion about Satan's own seed?

In today's world we need to be vigilant for those who would sow seeds of doubt concerning what God's Word actually says. There is nothing wrong with honest disagreement, this does not entitle one to spread outright lies. Acts 17 provides an example of an honest disagreement when Paul disputed with other Apostles in Jerusalem whether circumcision was necessary for salvation.

Galatians 2 offers a second witness to the fact that although there was honest disagreement at the beginning of this meeting there was still fellowship at the end. It may also be surprising to note that this disagreement occurred perhaps 16 years after Yahshua's resurrection. And note that all the problems arose because "certain men from Judea" wanted to stir up discord among Christians by spreading the lie that unless Gentiles were circumcised like them they could not have salvation. In other words they denied salvation through Yahshua alone. The Lord hates those who sow discord among brethren (Proverbs 6:16-19).

Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit gives us good advice in II Timothy 2:15-16 when he says, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. But shun profane and vain babblings for they will increase unto more ungodliness."

Let us never be afraid to study together in Christian fellowship in a positive way with an earnest heart felt desire to uncover the Truth of God's Word. Our Heavenly Father has chosen not to give us all Truth and Knowledge on a silver platter. He expects us to study His Word and search out what is true (Proverbs 25:2).

Paul also tells us the Bereans set a good example for all Christians as "they received the Word with all readiness of mind and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so". (Acts 17:11).

We should study God's Word in a verse by verse, chapter by chapter and Book by Book methodology.

Don't leave anything out.

Blessings and Honor and Grace and MERCIFUL LOVE unto all who study to show themselves APPROVED a SERVANT "worthy" of His Hire...(to be counted among the "saints" when they go MARCHING IN! Amen

I want to thank PM for all the years of work, his words and dedication. I want to thank The Father for loving We His Children enough that He set forth THE PLAN OF SALVATION and destroyed the "first eart age" but not His Children. I want to thank YOU who "gather here with me" to study deeper, seek The Truth, and truly LOVE OUR FATHER! What an Honor!

Keeping THE COVENANT, "Thou Shalt NOT Take the Name of The Lord In VAIN" ACCOUNTABILITY and WITNESSING

2011-04-21T10:40:00.006-04:00

Back in Deut 5:2, It is written to KEEP THIS "COVENANT".

In the 10 commandments, It is written: "Thou shalt not take the name of The LORD thy God in VAIN: for the LORD will NOT hold him "guiltless" that take His name in VAIN." (umm sounds like to me there is some ACCOUNTABILITY here in "will not hold guiltLESS" meaning without GUILT). Now bear with me, for I take this very serious and may get long, but I want to tie together this specific commandment. In proper "JUDGING", this has nothing to do with the commonly taught "tradition" that this scripture is talking or referencing "cussing". This is a misnomer. Yes, it is fair to say profanity isn't very becoming to a Christian, but we ALL fall short. I am a realist, I have on occasion yelled out in pain a word or two I shouldn't have while gardening in my yard, or hammering a nail missing the nail and hitting my thumb with the hammer. My point here is: It didn't "change" my HEART ATTITUDE toward God. I DIDN'T CHANGE calling God, "GOD" into calling God, "Satan", or vice-versa calling Satan, "God"! THIS IS THE DEEPER MEAT and the mind which has WISDOM to this particular commandment.

It is way past time that we put down "baby bottles" (milk in Christianity) and "potty train" ourselves. Learn to eat the MEAT of The Word and dispose of the "traditional" WASTE PRODUCTS of here say and "traditions" which only serve to make the Living Water murky and cloudy. Lets think back to when Jesus "raised" the little girl from "death", Christ said to GIVE HER MEAT, not "milk".

So here is some meat to this particular scripture and COMMANDMENT: Let's go to the Strongs Concordance for The Word "VAIN" (specifically 5:11) It is the strongs number 7723 in the Hebrew dictionary as follows:
7723 shav, (shawv); or shav, (shav);
from the same as 7722 IN THE SENSE OF "DESOLATING";
'evil" (as destructive), literally (ruin) or mor.(guile); figuratively IDOLATRY (as false) USELESSNESS (as DECEPTIVE) hence in "VAIN": false(ly), lie, lying, vain, vanity.

In The Prime: 7722 show, sho or(fem) show'ah, meaning to rush over, a tempest, by implication DEVASTATION:desolate(ion) "destroy" destruction, wasteness.

Now where am I going with this? Think upon Satans names:
The"Desolator" (Dan 9:27) coincides with Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14...(When you SEE the Abomination(evil) that CAUSES desolation spoken of by Daniel 8:23-27. Wasteness in the sense of "spoil" in Daniel 11:21-24. So, I hope you get my point here that we are ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT PROFANING the NAME OF THE LORD by "calling HIM, "Satan", Or by calling Satan, "Him".

Now stay with me here: This is VERY IMPORTANT Back in Gen. 4:26 (Enos) "Calling on the Name of The Lord" = "Then BEGAN men to call upon the Name of Jehovah"......MANY "traditions" have taught this to be "Divine Worship" and this is actually a False teaching: for Cain and Abel both began, and the descendants of Cain (as Able had no posterity since he was MURDERED) doubtless followed his example. What was actually BEGUN was the profanation of The Name of Jehovah (YHVH). What happened was they BEGAN to call "SOMETHING" BY The Name of Jehovah (YHVH). Whether it was "themselves" or "their gods", to me personally is irrelevant...the "scholars" can debate this one! THE IMPORTANCE to note is the ERR OF IDOLOTRY (to God this is called ADULTERY: Thou shall not commit Adultery) and began CALLING "them" BY The Name of The Word Of The Lord.

What EXACT "ungodliness" did Enoch, "the 7th from Adam" have to prophecy/teach about in Jude 14,15? If (as "traditions of men" TEACH)..IF "a" PURITY OF WORSHIP was "begun" in the days of Enos, "INSTEAD" (Anti) of profanation in calling on the Name of Lord?

I'm positive this is GRACIOUS EVIDENCE that this specific "Profaning of The Name of The NAME of The Lord" was the reason why Enoch was "raised up" (ressurrected in thought/mind) to TEACH/prophesy AGAINST "it". I am confident that is is ALSO for this same reason there are many strong men and women of Faith, and yes I will include myself here for boldness of "teaching" BUT IT IS ALL FROM LOVE....this is why God has FOREORDAINED His Elect to WARN and TEACH against the soon approaching boot of Satan to this VERY EARTH in his ROLE/OFFICE as "Anti-Christ", just as Jesus already came in His ROLE/OFFICE of "Saviour" (see Isaiah 14, Rev 12:7) along with the FALLEN ANGELS: called The Nephelium! the "sentence" was PASSED on these, ALONG WITH SATAN back in Ezekial 28:18 which shows Satan AS THE SON OF PERDITION meaning to utterly perish.

PRESENTLY(right now) he is the only SOUL sentenced to "utterly perish" at The Great White Throne Judgement at The END of "The Millenium" (which is also CALLED The Lords Day or know as the 1000 years. Remember do not be ignorant as the heathen that ONE DAY WITH THE LORD is "as" 1000 years with mankind hence The Lords Day) in the LAKE OF FIRE (this "lake of fire" is the "Hell" that is commonly taught).

God will utlize "these evil ones" to CORRECT God's Children. Meaning God will not yet EXECUTE those sentences He PASSED back in the 1St Earth Age (true HELL is The Execution of those sentences) BEFORE The Great White Throne JUDGEMENT...upon The Nephelium or The Fallen Angels, and Satan Himself. These are the ONLY ones (souls) that SENTENCE has ALREADY been passed on! This is why it miffs me when I hear Christians pass "judgement" on other peoples "sins of the flesh" saying your going to hell and they don't half the time even understand what they are actually saying or rather doing (sitting in the SEAT OF JUDGEMENT and that belongs to The LORD only).

The "Lake of Fire" BLOTS OUT as if it never even existed (their soul) but this "judgement day" can take place ONLY at THE END of The Millenium (the 1000 years aka as the Lord's Day). God is utilizing THEM "during this 2nd Earth Age" or "the dispensation of the flesh" being "Born Again aka Born "from Above" INTO this current "ion" of time...to HELP each "individual child" (soul) to DECIDE "on their own" (free-will) to CHOOSE to LOVE Our Father or Satan. This is Fathers absolute LOVE and this is Humanities PURPOSE. It is God's WILL that all come to LOVE Him of their "own free-will" generating that LOVE from within their individual hearts without any outside manipulation or trickery merely from Truth, and to WORSHIP HIM (which merely is to gain our "self worth" and "value" from Him for He is Our Father and Creator of our SOULS.)

Now lets get back on track. Also remember that Satan was "CREATED" in Ezekial 28:13 not "BIRTHED" born of woman...Yet, BEAR IN MIND that Satan has a "soul" (a "mortal" soul and an "incorruptible" body "being a spiritual body and not a "flesh body" but with a "soul" sentenced to die hence "mortal" instead of "immortal".)

We (hue-mans) are CREATED in the "image" (a phathom COPY to LOOK LIKE) God and The Angels (The "meat" of Let Us make Man in our "image" as it is written in Genesis but "traditions" of this being taught that this is The Trinity make VOID This Truth and makes murky the water of understanding The Beginning. Yes, we are souls "first", then that souls "spirit" is placed in the embryo BY Our Father at the "moment of conception". Remember John the Baptist lept in the womb of Elizabeth at the approach of Mary. John being 6 months old "in the womb" could sense the PRESENSE Of That Holy Spirit and "soul" of Messiah the VERY SAME DAY "it" entered the "womb of Mary". THINK DEEP HERE: Jesus was that "soul's" IMAGE in the "flesh FORM" in the "office" of Son and Messiah. If you can truly get this understanding, then it is easy to see that Our Father wasn't going to have US His Children take on Flesh Bodies without HIM willing to do it ALSO.

His "counter opposite" is Satan who is also The ANTI-Christ. Christ is the only BEGOTTON Son of The Father, Satan is The only Son of Perdition (meaning sentenced to UTTERLY PERISH. Get this in your mind...it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! In Matthew 10:28, it is written " FEAR NOT THEM WHICH ARE ABLE TO KILL THE SOUL: BUT RATHER FEAR (reverence) HIM (Our Father) WHICH IS ABLE TO DESTROY BOTH SOUL AND BODY IN HELL (The Lake of Fire).

So please understand angels and cherubims have "souls"---and "it" is THAT PART of Satan and The Nephellium (aka fallen angels or the 7000 which die INSTANTLY at the 7th trump) which God PASSED "SENTENCE" on BEFORE GOD brought into "being" THIS FLESH AGE which allowed God's 1/3 children Satan took away from Him to be "born again" BORN OF WOMAN (the womb) in the "state" of INNOCENCY of the evil deeds of following Satan "then" (1st Earth Age) and choose ( of the soul's FREE-WILL right) to "worship" God NOW (this 2nd Earth Age in the Flesh). You see we are here for those 1/3 and God's Love for His Children made a "plan" of SALVATION in the hopes THEY would "return to Him". His only other choice would have been to KILL THEM THEN...but in MERCY The Plan of Salvation was orchestrated IN LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE to be BORN AGAIN "innocent of these DEEDS" and I will go down MYSELF (Father's SOUL) and take on the flesh in the form of Jesus called Emmanuel (umm GOD WITH US) and I will give my life for SIN in the "role/office" of Messiah Saviour Jesus Christ and we all will "pass through the womb" ONCE and it is my Hope they will "overcome".... (Now yes I parphrase here...but a true understanding of The Word allows this for simplication purposes here).

To choose to LOVE Satan is to "receive" the Mark of The Beast IN THE FOREHEAD (place of thought process). Also, "in order to buy or sell" we will HAVE to WORSHIP Satan. And for one of us to WORSHIP Satan "instead of" ANTI The Christ in the "sight of people" who don't know any better (the stupor of Romans)...for "them" with the "stupor" (and ONLY God knows) its not much of a sin (since He placed the stupor upon them in the first place... like hardening Pharoahs heart in order to fulfill scripture of the deliverance of His People for example).

But WE whom God through The Holy Spirit's TOUCH has given the "unction" to KNOW BETTER: this is an AWESOME SIN, in Truth...this is UNFORGIVABLE (Luke 12:10) This is actually the only unforgivable sin...remember Jesus said you may speak against Him in the flesh, but not "in the Spirit".

Now, if I go back to my original analogy of a covenant marriage in the flesh between a husband and a wife, and JEALOUSY, and to drive the nail in the coffin in God's emotions regarding this commandment-----------this is like a "wife" (as we are The "Bride" (2nd age of flesh) or "Wife" (1st age chosen Elect planted here in the end-times to forewarn The Children) CALLING HER "Husband" (Christ and Christianity is our Husband as Father IS Our husband)...its like CALLING her husband by her "lovers" (Satan's) NAME...it makes Him Jeolous and Angry! It is THIS CUP OF WRATH that Jesus was praying to be removed from Him IF their was another way...NOT THE "tradition" taught the He didn't want to endure the cross! That is hogwash! Its a pretty heavy trip to pour out wrath upon Children that YOU LOVE...and that Day Of Vengence is soon approaching. If anyone is paying attention to the Arab Nations right now...it is "discernable" as to the "locust army" and the times we are in...that is IF You Love The Lord and are "PAYING ATTENTION" and WATCHING and are AWAKE...or else Satan has lulled you to sleep preying upon your desires of the flesh and you are caught "off guard". It is for this reason I post this in order to hopefully WAKE YOU up! Its getting close to that TIME when Satan will be here and once "again" The Children will be faced with "loving Satan" or remaining TRUE and LOYAL to Our Father.

I insist you don't just take my word for this, and I insist even more not to just dismiss me as some lunatic either because maybe you have never been taought his, BUT TO take this information, and let it DRIVE YOU INTO THE WORD OF GOD, praying for the Spirit of Wisdom and Truth to lead you, and check me out for yourselves; whereby , The People (The Grand Jury) can "weight the evidence" (discern) FOR YOUR SELF. It is YOUR "SOUL" which is at stake here. Cussing can't do to your SOUL what the "indepth" MEAT meaning to this commandment can. For tender ears sake, and illustration, I will use the letters GD-if one asks God "to damn" Satan, the devil, if he is bothering you--this isn't really "cussing". But for one who "professes" to be a Christian (worships with their mouth but their HEART if far from Him), and CALLS OUR FATHER "The Destroyer" isn't a good thing and is bearing False Witness and lies because God doesn't destroy anything...He is a CREATOR "not" a Destroyer". It is Satan who CAUSES "destruction" and Christs death on the cross gives Him the RIGHT to pour out WRATH upon those who call Satan, Father.

How does one do this and be a Christian? By believing just the thing that caused me to write this lengthy of an answer "to someone telling another Christian that God isn't going to hold His Children accountable to what they believe because not everyone has the same IQ" and "God isn't going to hold an inidividual accountable...ALL you have to do is believe on what He did for you on the cross".

I DON"T THINK SO....YOU MUST also know the "difference" in the TRUE Christ who died for your "sins" (which is to transgress these laws) and the FAKE Christ in his role/office as ANTI-Christ who will be in Jerusalem soon.

God will utilize NATURE to bring about the downfall of evil, but this is to OUR good in protecting God's Children and His sanctuary:place of learning His Word.

What are we INSTRUCTED to CALL Jesus? The Answer: Emmanuel! Emannuel translated means God WITH us. Soon, and VERY SOON Emmanuel Jesus will be imitated by a playactor named Satan called the devil, dragon (role or office as ANTICHRIST or False Prophet).

So, in studying in a much deeper level---"taking the LORDS NAME IN VAIN" is to call AntiChrist---- (THE ABOMINATION THAT 'CAUSES' DESOLATION "cause/effect" (we're WARNED by Jesus in the New Testament, TAUGHT by Daniel in the Old Testament----to CALL him (Satan) "LORD". Satan wants to BE God so bad, and actually I have tears as I write ths thinking the pleasure he is going to get when he is "allowed" that moment in time (5 months called The Hour of Temptation) to BE GOD. He will actually think "he has done it" due to the pride in his heart, but get this straight...he does it ONLY BECAUSE GOD ALLOWS IT TO CORRECT HIS CHILDREN!

THIS is what this is really "pointing to"! This is ultimately WHY we are even here in the flesh TO OVERCOME (Deut 32 The Overcomers Song). So YOU "on an individual personal basis" are hereby COMMANDED by Our Father THROUGH Moses, and even right now are taught by THIS WRITING indepth by myself to "deliver" your MINDS (the bedchamber) FROM "confusion/deception".

Do not be deceived in DEED by "worshipping Satan" in the very near future as "LORD", or CALLING him (Satan), "LORD". And do not even think I am giving permission here to cuss- I'm NOT! I drawing a line between a SIN to the "soul", and a SIN of the "flesh".

THE ADAM (Christ) DIED to "pay the price" for Our SINS, So repent and then get back into "good standing and relationship" and HELP a SOUL.

And KNOW that there is truth planted here, and that there is MORE to "it" than "just believing"....I ask you WHAT YOU BELEIVE will ultimately lead TO WHO you call Father....and let it NOT be Satan. There are 2 Christs...one died for YOUR and MINE sin., the "other" one SATAN...just wants YOU to "call" him daddy and LORD.

You Have BEEN WARNED! You now are faced with a choice. Believe it, or dismiss it. Many think there is a RAPTURE and they won't even be here. Well I want to debunk that one with scripture and prepare YOUR MIND to truly allow the above to sink in, and saturate the taste buds of your mind.

‎1Thess 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. At the 7th. trump, we are changed in a spiritual body. The word "air" means breath of life body. Paul spoke colloquial Greek and used figures of speech. The clouds mean gathering of people.

Let's go to I Thessalonians 4:13-18

It is too bad, that more people do not understand the Greek. That when a subject and object is” fixed”, it holds the same theme or values until there is a new subject change. In other words, once you begin... reading something and a subject is brought up, that subject carries in the story, until a new subject is presented.

Example: David has a dog named Buckeye. Andrea likes ice-cream 'run Buckeye run'.

It doesn't make sense does it? But people change “subject” matter and change “objects” by inserting things that are just not there, in the case of (II Thess 2:7) when the topic is something totally different. We are taught how to read in school. I am ever so thankful for Trudy Norris my Southwest high school English Honors teacher. So don't let someone change those rules for you. Stick to the subject.

I THESSALONIANS 4:13-17

4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

The subject here is: 'Where are the dead'. Paul is saying, I don't want you to be ignorant or unlearned concerning those who are dead. And don't be sad about it. There’s absolutely nothing to be sad about except maybe we loved them and truly miss them being in our lives!

‎4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

Because if we are truly Christian and we believe that Jesus rose, so should we believe that our loved ones have risen also (already changed into that beautiful Spiritual/Celestial Body) and so will we. Notice here that “will God bring with him”…He will bring them with Him back to the Earth AFTER Satan sits in Jerusalem “playacting Christ”. My favorite Uncle Ed just passed away back in Feb. 2010 and he was a fighter pilot during the Vietnam and Korean wars. I can just see him coming back with Christ at the 7th trump “taking names and kicking Dragon in that vehicle spoken of in Ezekial chapter 1 from that dimension! ---this is another subject for another time.

Back to the subject here: dead-- To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. Our loved ones are not laying in a grave somewhere waiting to have their flesh body raised up when God returns… For the Dust will return to the earth as it was and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. (Ecclesiastes 12:7) The flesh body RETURNS to the earth as it is nothing but “organic matter” from the “ organic foods” we have take in for food/ nourishment, and the spiritual body returns to God.

4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

The word 'prevent' means 'precede'. Why can't we precede those who are dead? Its because they are already gone. They are in another dimension. They are already with the Father. Some Christians even go as far in saying that this verse, along with verse 16, is talking about a ”reunion of flesh and spirit”. They say that on the last day when God comes, he will open up graves and people will come back to their bodies

Now wait a minute! Didn't Paul just get done saying in verse 14 that if we believe Christ rose from the dead, that so are our loved ones? And so shall we when we die? While we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. (II Corinthians 5:6-8) .So, why would that body leave the Father to come back to the graveside just to “raise up out of the grave” at the rapture or 7th trump? (Just something to think about as you are studying on a deeper level than just sitting in church on Sunday’s.)

Let's continue..

A new subject change just happened. Did you catch it? It's up above in verse 15. It's the 'Coming of the Lord' and those who are alive and remain.

4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voi...ce of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

God is going to descend from heaven with a shout. Who is doing the shouting here? It's the archangel Michael. Now it's not necessarily written that this is Michael the archangel, but it is written that Michael will be doing the casting out of Satan to earth. (Revelation 12:7-9 ) So I think it's safe to assume that this archangel will be Michael. At any case, this is not a big deal who the archangel is.

What about this trump of God. What is this Trump? This is the 7th trump. The last trump that Paul would speak of in ( I Corinthians 15:52 )

Now again, why will the dead in Christ rise first? That's right, they are already with God. We can't 'prevent' them. Which is to say ‘precede’ them?

4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

And there we have the base foundation of the pre-rapture. Those who believe in the pre-rapture, usually site the above verses as their support. Now let me make this perfectly clear. I do not doubt ’rapture’ or 'catching up' will take place. It's the timing of such an event. Thus; this firm stance of a post-tribulation view that is being expressed within this teaching so as to have you not be deceived! Pre-tribbers (as I call them), usually say: "Well, It says right there that those who have not died will be 'raptured' in the clouds to meet God in the sky". Is that what it really says? Are these verses being understood and read correctly?

Paul was educated in the Hebrew language. He studied under the finest scholars of that time. He also spoke colloquial Greek, which is to say he spoke "street Greek" or slang. You might hear to this time, "Figures of speech" - idioms or catch phrases.

For example, have you ever heard of someone saying that there were so many faces in the crowd that it looked like a sea of faces? We know when using this figure of speech, it has nothing to do with the ocean. Paul used these figures of speech because that was the language of the people he preached to. How about this one "There were so many locusts, that they swarmed in clouds?" When used in this context, you get a better understanding of what the person is trying to get across. And may I add that this term or phrase is still being used to this day.

Let's take a look at (Hebrews 12:1) Paul again writing:

HEBREWS 12:1 "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

So, is the above verse referring to white puffy clouds? Or a large mass of Christians running a foot race? It doesn't take much for one to know it has nothing to do with white puffy cumulus clouds floating around in our atmosphere like the toilet paper commercials every so soft and safe? So knowing that Paul used this word cloud to express his description of a large group or mass of people, don't you think it is possible that Paul used the same word to describe a mass gathering of people on the Lord's Day?

The word "cloud" here and other places in the Greek and Hebrew will mean exactly what it says. A white puffy cloud drifting in the sky. You can do a Strong’s concordance search on this word all day long and not find a thing different. Well some might say; " Well, air is the sky, because the word cloud is used. There's just one problem with that.

Now lets look at this word "air". This word in the Greek is "Ah-ayr" - This word simply means’ breath’, or to 'blow air'. It is that same breath, or that "Neshamah" (nesh-aw-mah) that God breathed through the nostrils of man, that gave them a living spirit. A soul. It's the breath of life. It's the spirit body that we all have in us. That spirit body we change back into the moment we die. Or at the sound of the last trumpet for those of us that are still around at the Second coming. ( II Corinth 5:1-10 )

If you would, please allow me to read this in the way that I feel Paul was trying to express:

- "Then we which are alive and remain shall be "changed in a twinkling of an eye" together with them in the "masses of fellow Christians", to meet the Lord in the spirit body, and so shall we ever be with the Lord." -

Again, there is no doubt in my mind that we will be "raptured or caught up or changed" and it shall happen in a twinkling of an eye as I Corinthians 15:52 clearly states. Not everybody that is alive will die what we think of as a "natural death" today but we ALL WILL BE CHANGED!

However, when will it occur? It's the 7th trumpet. Antichrist comes at the 6th. This is the GREAT MYSTERY of the 666. Satan, “The” Anti-Christ, aka the Serpent in the Garden of Eden who “deceived Eve” and caused Adam to sin, The Dragon in Revelations, Lucifer (meaning the bright and morning star---only he's THE FAKE!), “The” Son of Perdition or whatever other name…is all in one THE SAME ENTITY SATAN and he WILL (not maybe but will) sit in Jerusalem pretending to be Christ . This “event is the 6th trump” and Christ our Lord and Savior will NOT return until AFTER “this event takes place” to TRY the people on Earth as to their true allegiance. Get this fixed in your mind …our Lord and Savior who died on the cross for our sins returns at the 7th trump.Some Christians may say; "Well, no one knows when, as Christ will come as a thief in the night". This is very true. However, there is a little more that should be expected of us as sober children of the light.

I THESSALONIANS 5: 1-10

5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so commeth as a thief in the night.

We all know that Christ will come to us as a thief in the night. Which is to say, many will be surprised or “caught” off guard when He returns? Ahh, but wait a minute...

5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

It looks as though Paul is giving us some markers or indicators on what to look for before Christ returns. Beloved, they are saying "Peace and Safety" now. Haven't you been watching the news lately?

God is with us. He will see us through. He will be right there walking in the midst, when faced with our own tribulation. Be it in everyday life, or the day of our being delivered up to bear witness AGAINST Satan and The Holy Spirit speaks "through US" like on Pentecost Day and EVERY ear WILL understand "at that moment" and many who are "deceived" at that time will pray for the rocks to fall on them out of their SHAME for having been "deceived by Satan" and they thought they all along were serving God.

Let's get back to where we left off:I Thessalonians 5:9-10

I THESSALONIANS 5:9-10

5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

Now, why did Paul feel the need to write the 2nd book of Thessalonians? Because he knew there was some confusion as to what was written about “the second coming of Jesus” (just as there exists today in the churches). Paul, under the unction of The Holy Spirit, wrote that 2nd book to let the church know that Christ's return would NOT happen until antichrist's reign was on earth ( which is mentioned above as the 6th trump)

Let us now go to 2nd Thessalonians.

II THESSALONIANS 2:1-11

2:1 Now we beseech you brethren by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together unto Him,

Paul is saying; I'm here again to get a few things straight with you new Christians, concerning the second coming of Christ and our gathering together to him.

2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled neither by spirit nor by word nor by any letter as from us, as that is the day of Christ at hand.

2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away FIRST, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.

Paul is desperately trying to get the point across here…don't be fooled or confused, and don't let my first letter I Thessalonians confuse you. What day is Paul talking about? What is the SUBJECT here? The Lord's Day. Paul is saying that the "gathering back to Him" shall not happen, until there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed the son of perdition. Who is the man of sin? Who is this son of perdition? It's Satan. What does perdition mean? It means sentenced to die or death. There has only been one entity who has been sentenced to die and that is Satan. Some scholars have said this is Judas. But that won't fit. You see, Judas was not sentenced to death. He repented and later died from his wounds. Another subject for another time.

Back to the subject: The Lord’s Day and this “falling away FIRST”.

Now what is this falling away? The word in the Greek manuscript is: 'Apostasia'. Apostasy is: the defection from truth. A turning away, to forsake, give up truth and go after something else. What is it that people will be giving up or turning away from? The Word of God. The Truth of His word. Turning to “seducing spirits and doctrines of devils”, that do nothing but lie and confuse, mislead and trick as many as will be. But , Teresa, its so "politically correct" I say phooey!!!

CHRIST OUR PASSOVER not OUR ISHTAR (Easter)

2011-04-02T11:42:00.008-04:00

"For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us."—1 Corinthians 5:7.

I begin this writing on Christ Our Passover, not our Ishtar..borrowing from a Sermon by Rev. C.H. Spurgeon delivered on Sabbath Evening, December 2, 1855, at New Park Street Chapel, Southwark for within it is the passion of The Passover from 150 years ago. I will end this driving home the point fast forwarding 150yrs to today of why for the Christian Passover, NOT EASTER, but The PASSOVER is so EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to understand and comprehend in the same fashion that Spurgeon speaks of the Death Angel those 150 years ago...picturing YOURSELVES today with the soon approaching moment of The Death Angel's appearance on Earth and may he then be forced to PASSOVER your house, YOUR Children and may you escape in your own personal exodus today as in the Days of Egypt.........

THE more you read the Bible, and the more you meditate upon it, the more you will be astonished with it. He who is but a casual reader of the Bible, does not know the height, the depth, the length and breadth of the mighty meanings contained in its pages. There are certain times when I discover a new vein of thought, and I put my hand to my head and say in astonishment, "Oh, it is wonderful I never saw this before in the Scriptures." You will find the Scriptures enlarge as you enter them; the more you study them the less you will appear to know of them, for they widen out as we approach them. Especially will you find this the case with the typical parts of God's Word. Most of the historical books were intended to be types either of dispensations, or experiences, or offices of Jesus Christ. Study the Bible with this as a key, and you will not blame Herbert when he calls it "not only the book of God, but the God of books."

One of the most interesting points of the Scriptures is their constant tendency to display Christ; and perhaps one of the most beautiful figures under which Jesus Christ is ever exhibited in sacred writ, is the Passover Paschal Lamb.

Israel was in Egypt, in extreme bondage; the severity of their slavery had continually increased till it was so oppressive that their incessant groans went up to heaven. God who avenges his own elect, though they cry day and night unto him, at last, determined that he would direct a fearful blow against Egypt's king and Egypt's nation, and deliver his own people.

We can picture the anxieties and the anticipations of Israel, but we can scarcely sympathize with them, unless we as Christians have had the same deliverance from spiritual Egypt. Let us go back to the day in our experience, when we abode in the land of Egypt, working in the brick-kilns of sin, toiling to make ourselves better, and finding it to be of no avail; let us recall that memorable night, the beginning of months, the commencement of a new life in our spirit, and the beginning of an altogether new era in our soul. The Word of God struck the blow at our sin; he gave us Jesus Christ our sacrifice; and in that night we went out of Egypt. Though we have passed through the wilderness since then, and have fought the Amalekites, have trodden on the fiery serpent, have been scorched by the heat and frozen by the snows, yet we have never since that time gone back to Egypt; although our hearts may sometimes have desired the leeks, the onions, and the flesh-pots of Egypt, yet we have never been brought into slavery since then.

Come, let us keep the Passover this night, and think of the night when the Lord delivered us out of Egypt. Let us behold our Saviour Jesus as the Paschal Lamb on which we feed; yea, let us not only look at him as such, but let us sit down to-night at his table, let us eat of his flesh and drink of his blood; for his flesh is meat indeed, and his blood is drink indeed. In holy solemnity let our hearts approach that ancient supper; let us go back to Egypt's darkness, and by holy contemplation behold, instead of the destroying angel, the angel of the covenant, at the head of the feast,—"the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world."

I shall not have time to-night to enter into the whole history and mystery of the Passover; you will not understand me to be to- night preaching concerning the whole of it; but a few prominent points therein as a part of them. It would require a dozen sermons to do so; in fact a book as large as Caryl upon Job—if we could find a divine equally prolix and equally sensible. But we shall first of all look at the Lord Jesus Christ, and show how he corresponds with the Paschal Lamb, and endeavour to bring you to the two points—of having his blood on you, and having fed on him.

I. First, then, JESUS CHRIST IS TYPIFIED HERE UNDER THE PASCHAL LAMB; and should there be one of the seed of Abraham here who has never seen Christ to be the Messiah, I beg his special attention to that which I am to advance, when I speak of the Lord Jesus as none other than the Lamb of God slain for the deliverance of his chosen people.

Follow me with your Bibles, and open first at the 12th chapter of Exodus. We commence, first of all, with the victim—the lamb. How fine a picture of Christ. No other creature could so well have typified him who was holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners. Being also the emblem of sacrifice, it most sweetly pourtrayed our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Search natural history through, and though you will find other emblems which set forth different characteristics of his nature, and admirably display him to our souls, yet there is none which seems so appropriate to the person of our beloved Lord as that of the Lamb. A child would at once perceive the likeness between a lamb and Jesus Christ, so gentle and innocent, so mild and harmless, neither hurting others, nor seeming to have the power to resent an injury.

"A humble man before his foes, a weary man and full of woes."

What tortures the sheepish race have received from us! how are they, though innocent, continually slaughtered for our food! Their skin is dragged from their backs, their wool is shorn to give us a garment. And so the Lord Jesus Christ, our glorious Master, doth give us his garments that we may be clothed with them; he is rent in sunder for us; his very blood is poured out for our sins; harmless and holy, a glorious sacrifice for the sins of all his children. Thus the Paschal Lamb might well convey to the pious Hebrew the person of a suffering, silent, patient, harmless Messiah.

Look further down. It was a lamb without blemish. A blemished lamb, if it had the smallest speck of disease, the least wound, would not have been allowed for a Passover. The priest would not have suffered it to be slaughtered, nor would God have accepted the sacrifice at his hands. It must be a lamb without blemish. And was not Jesus Christ even such from his birth? Unblemished, born of the pure virgin Mary, begotten of the Holy Ghost, without a taint of sin; his soul was pure, and spotless as the driven snow, white, clear, perfect; and his life was the same. In him was no sin. He took our infirmities and bore our sorrows on the cross. He was in all points tempted as we are, but there was that sweet exception, "yet without sin." A lamb without blemish. Ye who have known the Lord, who have tasted of his grace, who have held fellowship with him, doth not your heart acknowledge that he is a lamb without blemish? Can ye find any fault with your Saviour? Have you aught to lay to his charge? Hath his truthfulness departed? Have his words been broken? Have his promises failed? Has he forgotten his engagements? And, in any respect, can you find in him any blemish? Ah, no! he is the unblemished lamb, the pure, the spotless, the immaculate, "the Lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world;" and in him there is no sin.

Go on further down the chapter. "Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year." I need not stop to consider the reason why the male was chosen; we only note that it was to be a male of the first year. Then it was in its prime then its strength was unexhausted, then its power was just ripened into maturity and perfection, God would not have an untimely fruit. God would not have that offered which had not come to maturity. And so our Lord Jesus Christ had just come to the ripeness of manhood when he was offered. At 34 years of age was he sacrificed for our sins; he was then hale and strong, although his body may have been emaciated by suffering, and his face more marred than that of any other man, yet was he then in the perfection of manhood.

Methinks I see him then. His goodly beard flowing down upon his breast; I see him with his eyes full of genius, his form erect,majestic, his energy entire, his whole frame in full development,—a real man, a magnificent man—fairer than the sons of men; a Lamb not only without blemish, but with all his powers fully brought out. Such was Jesus Christ—a Lamb of the first year—not a boy, not a lad, not a young man, but a full man, that he might give his soul unto us. He did not give himself to die for us when he was a youth, for he would not then have given all he was to be; he did not give himself to die for us when he was in old age, for then would he have given himself when he was in decay; but just in his maturity, in his very prime, then Jesus Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us.

And, moreover, at the time of his death, Christ was full of life, for we are informed by one of the evangelists that "he cried with a loud voice and gave up the spirit." This is a sign that Jesus did not die through weakness, nor through decay of nature. His soul was strong within him; he was still the Lamb of the first year. Still was he mighty; he could, if he pleased, even on the cross, have unlocked his hands from their iron bolts; and descending from the tree of infamy, have driven his astonished foes before him, like deer scattered by a lion, yet did he meekly yield obedience unto death. My soul; canst thou not see thy Jesus here, the unblemished Lamb of the first year, strong and mighty? And, O my heart! does not he though rise up—if Jesus consecrated himself to thee when he was thus in all his strength and vigour, should not I in youth dedicate myself to him? And if I am in manhood, how am I doubly bound to give my strength to him? And if I am in old age, still should I seek while the little remains, to consecrate that little to him. If he gave his all to me, which was much, should I not give my little all to him? Should I not feel bound to consecrate myself entirely to his service, to lay body, soul, and spirit, time, talents, all upon his altar. And though I am not an unblemished lamb, yet I am happy that as the leavened cake was accepted with the sacrifice, though never burned with it—I, though a leavened cake, may be offered on the altar with my Lord and Saviour, the Lord's burnt offering, and so, though impure, and full of leaven, I may be accepted in the beloved, an offering of a sweet savour, acceptable unto the Lord my God. Here is Jesus, beloved, a Lamb without blemish, a Lamb of the first year!

The subject now expands and the interest deepens. Let me have your very serious consideration to the next point, which has much gratified me in its discovery and which will instruct you in the relation.

In the 6th verse of the 12th chapter of Exodus we are told that this lamb which should be offered at the Passover was to be selected four days before its sacrifice, and to be kept apart:—

"In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: and if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb."

The 6th verse says,

"And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month."

For four days this lamb, chosen to be offered, was taken away from the rest of the flock and kept alone by itself, for two reasons: partly that by its constant bleatings they might be put in remembrance of the solemn feast which was to be celebrated; and moreover, that during the four days they might be quite assured that it had no blemish, for during that time it was subject to constant inspection, in order that they might be certain that it had no hurt or injury that would render it unacceptable to the Lord. And now, brethren, a remarkable fact flashes before you—just as this lamb was separated four days, the ancient allegories used to say that Christ was separated four years. Four years after he left his father's house he went into the wilderness, and was tempted of the devil. Four years after his baptism he was sacrificed for us. But there is another, better than that:

—About four days before his crucifixion, Jesus Christ rode in triumph through the streets of Jerusalem. He was thus openly set apart as being distinct from mankind. He, on the ass, rode up to the temple, that all might see him to be Judah's Lamb, chosen of God, and ordained from the foundation of the world. And what is more remarkable still, during those four days, you will see, if you turn to the Evangelists, at your leisure, that as much is recorded of what he did and said as through all the other part of his life. During those four days, he upbraided the fig tree, and straightway it withered; it was then that he drove the moneychangers-buyers and sellers- from the temple; it was then that he rebuked the priests and elders, by telling them the similitude of the two sons, one of whom said he would go, and did not, and the other who said he would not go, and went; it was then that he narrated the parable of the husbandsmen, who slew those who were sent to them; afterwards he gave the parable of the marriage of the king's son. Then comes his parable concerning the man who went unto the feast, not having on a wedding garment; and then also, the parable concerning the ten virgins, five of whom were very wise, and five of whom were foolish; then comes the chapter of very striking denunciations against the Pharisees:—"Woe unto you O ye blind Pharisees! cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter;" and then also comes that long chapter of prophecy concerning what should happen at the siege of Jerusalem, and an account of the dissolution of the world: "Learn a parable of the fig-tree: when his branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh.: But I will not trouble you by telling you here that at the same time he gave them that splendid description of the day of judgment, when the sheep shall be divided from the goats. In fact, the most splendid utterances of Jesus were recorded as having taken place within these four days. Just as the lamb separated from its fellows, did bleat more than ever during the four days, so did Jesus during those four days speak more; and if you want to find a choice saying of Jesus, turn to the account of the last four days' ministry to find it. There you will find that chapter, "Let not your hearts be troubled;" there also, his great prayer, "Father, I will;" and so on. The greatest things he did, he did in the last four days when he was set apart.

And there is one more thing to which I beg your particular attention, and that is, that during those four days I told you that the lamb was subject to the closest scrutiny, so, also, during those four days, it is singular to relate, that Jesus Christ was examined by all classes of persons. It was during those four days that the lawyer asked him which was the greatest commandment? and he said, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might; and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

It was then that the Herodians came and questioned him about the tribute money; it was then that the Pharisees tempted him; it was then, also, the Sadducees tried him upon the subject of the resurrection. He was tried by all classes and grades—Herodians, Pharisees, Sadducees, lawyers, and the common people. It was during these four days that he was examined: but how did he come forth? An immaculate Lamb! The officers said, "never man spake like this man." His foes found none who could even bear false witness against him, such as agreed together; and Pilate declared, "I find no fault in him." He would not have been fit for the Paschal Lamb had a single blemish have been discovered, but "I find no fault in him," was the utterance of the great chief magistrate, who thereby declared that the Lamb might be eaten at God's Passover, the symbol and the means of the deliverance of God's people. O beloved! you have only to study the Scriptures to find out wondrous things in them; you have only to search deeply, and you stand amazed at their richness. You will find God's Word to be a very precious word; the more you live by it and study it, the more will it be endeared to your minds.

But the next thing we must mark is the place where this lamb was to be killed, which peculiarly sets forth that it must be Jesus Christ. The first Passover was held in Egypt, the second Passover was held in the wilderness; but we do not read that there were more than these two Passovers celebrated until the Israelites came to Canaan. And then, if you turn to a passage in Deuteronomy, the 16th chapter, you will find that God no longer allowed them to slay the Lamb in their own houses but appointed a place for its celebration.

In the wilderness, they brought their offerings to the tabernacle where the lamb was slaughtered; but at its first appointment in Egypt, of course they had no special place to which they took the lamb to be sacrificed.
Afterwards, we read in the 16th of Deuteronomy, and the 5th verse,

"Thou mayest not sacrifice the Passover within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee; but at the place which the Lord thy God shall chose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the Passover at even at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt."

It was in Jerusalem that men ought to worship, for salvation was of the Jews; there was God's palace, there his altar smoked, and there only might the Paschal Lamb be killed. So was our blessed Lord led to Jerusalem. The infuriated throng dragged him along the city. In Jerusalem our Lamb was sacrificed for us; it was at the precise spot where God had ordained that it should be. Oh! if that mob who gathered round him at Nazareth had been able to push him headlong down the hill, then Christ could not have died at Jerusalem; but as he said, "a prophet cannot perish out of Jerusalem," so was it true that the King of all prophets could not do otherwise,—the prophecies concerning him would not have been fulfilled.

"Thou shalt kill the lamb in the place the Lord thy God shall appoint."

He was sacrificed in the very place. Thus, again you have an incidental proof that Jesus Christ was the Paschal Lamb for his people.

The next point is the manner of his death. I think the manner in which the lamb was to be offered so peculiarly sets forth the crucifixion of Christ, that no other kind of death could by any means have answered all the particulars set down here. First, the lamb was to be slaughtered, and its blood caught in a basin. Usually blood was caught in a golden basin. Then, as soon as it was taken, the priest standing by the altar on which the fat was burning, threw the blood on the fire or cast it at the foot of the altar. You may guess what a scene it was. Ten thousand lambs sacrificed, and the blood poured out in a purple river. Next, the lamb was to be roasted; but it was not to have a bone of its body broken. Now I do say, there is nothing but crucifixion which can answer all these three things. Crucifixion has in it the shedding of blood—the hands and feet were pierced. It has in it the idea of roasting, for roasting signifies a long torment, and as the lamb was for a long time before the fire, so Christ, in crucifixion, was for a long time exposed to a broiling sun, and all the other pains which crucifixion engenders. Moreover not a bone was broken; which could not have been the case with any other punishment. Suppose it had been possible to put Christ to death in any other way. Sometimes the Romans put criminals to death by decapitation; but by a such death the next is broken. Many martyrs were put to death by having a sword pierced through them; but, while that would have been a bloody death, and not a bone broken necessarily, the torment would not have been long enough to have been pictured by the roasting. So that, take whatever punishment you will—take hanging, which sometimes the Romans practised in the form of strangling, that mode of punishment does not involve shedding of blood, and consequently the requirements would not have been answered. And I do think, any intelligent Jew, reading through this account of the Passover, and then looking at the crucifixion, must be struck by the fact that the penalty and death of the cross by which Christ suffered, must have taken in all these three things. There was blood-shedding; the long continued suffering—the roasting of torture; and then added to that, singularly enough, by God's providence not a bone was broken, but the body was taken down from the cross intact.

Some may say that burning might have answered the matter; but there would not have been a shedding of blood in that case, and the bones would have been virtually broken in the fire. Besides the body would not have been preserved entire. Crucifixion was the only death which could answer all of these three requirements. And my faith receives great strength from the fact, that I see my Saviour not only as a fulfilment of the type, but the only one.

My heart rejoices to look on him whom I have pierced, and see his blood, as the lamb's blood, sprinkled on my lintel and my door-post, and see his bones unbroken, and to believe that not a bone of his spiritual body shall be broken hereafter; and rejoice, also, to see him roasted in the fire, because thereby I see that he satisfied God for that roasting which I ought to have suffered in the torment of hell.

Christian! I would that I had words to depict in better language; but, as it is, I give thee the undigested thoughts, which thou mayest take home and live upon during the week; for thou wilt find this Paschal Lamb to be an hourly feast, as well as supper, and thou mayest feed upon it continually, till thou comest to the mount of God, where thou shalt see him as he is, and worship him in the Lamb in the midst thereof.

II. HOW WE DERIVE BENEFIT FROM THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.

Christ our Passover is slain for us. The Jew could not say that; he could say, a lamb, but "the Lamb," even "Christ our Passover," was not yet become a victim. And here are some of my hearers within these walls to-night who cannot say "Christ our Passover is slain for us." But glory be to God! some of us can. There are not a few here who have laid their hands upon the glorious Scapegoat; and now they can put their hands upon the Lamb also, and they can say, "Yes; it is true, he is not only slain, but Christ our Passover is slain for us." We derive benefit from the death of Christ in two modes: first, by having his blood sprinkled on us for our redemption; secondly, by our eating his flesh for food, regeneration and sanctification. The first aspect in which a sinner views Jesus is that of a lamb slain, whose blood is sprinkled on the door-post and on the lintel. Note the fact, that the blood was never sprinkled on the threshold. It was sprinkled on the lintel, the top of the door, on the side-post, but never on the threshold, for woe unto him who trampleth under foot the blood of the Son of God!

Even the priest of Dagon trod not on the threshold of "his god", much less will the Christian trample under foot the blood of the Paschal Lamb. But his blood must be on our right hand to be our constant guard, and on our left to be our continual support. We want to have Jesus Christ sprinkled on us. As I told you before, it is not alone the blood of Christ poured out on Calvary that saves a sinner; it is the blood of Christ sprinkled on the heart.

Let us turn to the land of Zoan. Do you not think you behold the scene to-night! It is evening. The Egyptians are going homeward—little thinking of what is coming. But just as soon as the sun is set, a lamb is brought into every house. The Egyptian strangers passing by, say, "These Hebrews are about to keep a feast to night," and they retire to their houses utterly careless about it. The father of the Hebrew house takes his lamb, and examining it once more with anxious curiosity, looks it over from head to foot, to see if it has a blemish. He findeth none. "My son," he says to one of them, "bring hither the bason." It is held. He stabs the lamb, and the blood flows into the bason. Do you not think you see the sire, as he commands his matronly wife to roast the lamb before the fire! "Take heed," he says, "that not a bone be broken." Do you see her intense anxiety, as she puts it down to roast, lest a bone should be broken? Now, says the father, "bring a bunch of hyssop." A child brings it. The father dips it into the blood. "Come here, my children, wife and all, and see what I am about to do." He takes the hyssop in his hands, dips it in the blood, and sprinkles it across the lintel and the door-post. His children say,

"What mean you by this ordinance?" He answers, "This night the Lord God will pass through to smite the Egyptians, and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you."

The thing is done; the lamb is cooked; the guests are set down to it; the father of the family has supplicated a blessing; they are sitting down to feast upon it. And mark how the old man carefully divides joint from joint, lest a bone should be broken; and he is particular that the smallest child of the family should have some of it to eat, for so the Lord hath commanded. Do you not think you see him as he tells them

"

it is a solemn night—make haste—in another hour we shall all go out of Egypt." He looks at his hands, they are rough with labour, and clapping them, he cries, "I am not to be a slave any longer."

His eldest son, perhaps, has been smarting under the lash, and he says,

"Son, you have had the task-master's lash upon you this afternoon; but it is the last time you shall feel it." He looks at them all, with tears in his eyes—"This is the night the Lord God will deliver you."

Do you see them with their hats on their heads, with their loins girt, and their staves in their hands? It is the dead of the night. Suddenly they hear a shriek! The father says, "Keep within doors, my children; you will know what it is in a moment." Now another shriek—another shriek—shriek succeeds shriek: they hear perpetual wailing and lamentation. "Remain within," says he, "the angel of death is flying abroad."

A solemn silence is in the room, and they can almost hear the wings of the angel flap in the air as he passes their blood-marked door. "Be calm," says the sire, "that blood will save you." The shrieking increases. "Eat quickly, my children," he says again, and in a moment the Egyptians coming, say, "Get thee hence! Get thee hence! We are not for the jewels that you have borrowed. You have brought death into our houses." "Oh!" says a mother, "Go! for God's sake! go. My eldest son lies dead!" "Go!" says a father,

"Go! and peace go with you. It were an ill day when your people came into Egypt, and our king began to slay your first-born, for God is punishing us for our cruelty."

Ah! see them leaving the land; the shrieks are still heard; the people are busy about their dead. As they go out, a son of Pharoah is taken away unembalmed, to be buried in one of the pyramids. Presently they see one of their task-master's sons taken away. A happy night for them—when they escape! And do you see, my hearers, a glorious parallel? They had to sprinkle the blood, and also to eat the lamb. Ah! my soul, hast thou e'er had the blood sprinkled on thee? Canst thou say that Jesus Christ is thine? It is not enough to say "He loved the world, and gave His Son," you must say, "He loved me, and gave himself for me."

There is another hour coming, dear friends, when we shall all stand before God's bar; and then God will say, "Angel of death, thou once didst smite Egypt's first born; thou knowest thy prey. Unsheath thy sword."

I behold the great gathering, you and I are standing amongst them. It is a solemn moment. All men stand in suspense. There is neither hum nor murmur. The very stars cease to shine lest the light should disturb the air by its motion. All is still. God says, "Has thou sealed those that are mine?" "I have," says Gabriel; "they are sealed by blood every one of them." Then saith he next, "Sweep with thy sword of slaughter! Sweep the Earth! and send the unclothed, the unpurchased, the unwashed ones to the pit." Oh! how shall we feel beloved, when for a moment we see that angel flap his wings? He is just about to fly, "But," will the doubt cross our minds "perhaps he will come to me?" Oh! no; we shall stand and look the angel full in his face.

"Bold shall I stand in that great day!For who aught to my charge shall lay?
While through thy blood absolved I am From sin's tremendous curse and shame."

If we have the blood on us, we shall see the angel coming, we shall smile at him; we shall dare to come even to God's face and say,

"Great God! I'm clean! Through Jesus' blood, I'm clean!"

But if, my hearer, thine unwashen spirit shall stand unshriven before its maker, if thy guilty soul shall appear with all its black spots upon it, unsprinkled with the purple tide, how wilt thou speak when thou seest flash from the scabbard the angel's sword swift for death, and winged for destruction, and when it shall cleave thee asunder?

Methinks I see thee standing now. The angel is sweeping away a thousand there. There is one of thy pot companions. There one with whom thou didst dance and swear. There another, who after attending the same chapel like thee, was a despiser of religion. Now death comes nearer to thee. Just as when the reaper sweeps the field and the next ear trembles because its turn shall come next, I see a brother and a sister swept into the pit. Have I no blood upon me? Then, O rocks! it were kind of you to hide me. Ye have no benevolence in your arms. Mountains! let me find in your caverns some little shelter. But it is all in vain, for vengeance shall cleave the mountains and split the rocks open to find me out. Have I no blood? Have I no hope?

Ah! no! he smites me. The depth of the darkness of Egypt for thee, and the horrible torments of the pit from which none can escape! Ah! my dear hearers, could I preach as I could wish, could I speak to you without my lips and with my heart, then would I bid you seek that sprinkled blood, and urge you by the love of your own soul, by everything that is sacred and eternal, to labour to get this blood of Jesus sprinkled on your souls. It is the blood sprinkled that saves a sinner.
But when the Christian gets the blood sprinkled, that is not all he wants. He wants something to feed upon.

And, O sweet thought! Jesus Christ is not only a Saviour for sinners, but he is food for them after they are saved. The Paschal Lamb by faith we eat. We live on it. You may tell, my hearers, whether you have the blood sprinkled on the door by this: do you eat the Lamb? Suppose for a moment that one of the old Jews had said in his heart, "I do not see the use of this feasting. It is quite right to sprinkle the blood on the lintel or else the door will not be known; but what good is all this inside? We will have the lamb prepared, and we will not break his bones; but we will not eat of it." And suppose he went and stored the lamb away.

What would have been the consequence? Why, the angel of death would have smitten him as well as the rest, even if the blood had been upon him. And if, moreover, that old Jew had said, "there, we will have a little piece of it; but we will have something else to eat, we will have some unleavened bread; we will not turn the leaven out of our houses, but we will have some leavened bread." If they had not consumed the lamb, but had reserved some of it, then the sword of the angel would have found the heart out as well as that of any other man. Oh! dear hearer, you may think you have the blood sprinkled, you may think you are just; but if you do not live on Christ as well as by Christ, you will never be saved by the Paschal Lamb.

"Ah!" say some, "we know nothing of this." Of course you don't. When Jesus Christ said, "except ye eat my flesh, and drink my blood, ye have no life in you," there were some that said, "This is a hard saying, who can hear it?" and many from that time went back—and walked no more with him. They could not understand him; but, Christian, dost thou not understand it? Is not Jesus Christ thy daily food? And even with the bitter herbs, is he not sweet food?

Some of you, my friends, who are true Christians, live too much on your changing frames and feelings, on your experiences and evidences. Now, that is all wrong. That is just as if a worshipper had gone to the tabernacle and began eating one of the coats that were worn by the priest. When a man lives on Christ's righteousness, it is the same as eating Christ's dress. When a man lives on his frames and feelings, that is as much as if the child of God should live on some tokens that he received in the sanctuary that never were meant for food, but only to comfort him a little. What the Christian lives on is not Christ's righteousness, but Christ; he does not live on Christ's pardon, but on Christ; and on Christ he lives daily, on nearness to Christ. Oh! I do love Christ- preaching. It is not the doctrine of justification that does my heart good, it is Christ, the justifier; it is not pardon that so much makes the Christian's heart rejoice, it is Christ the pardoner; it is not election that I love half so much as my being chosen in Christ ere worlds began; ay! it is not final perseverance that I love so much as the thought that in Christ my life is hid, and that since he gives unto his sheep eternal life, they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of his hand.

Take care, Christian, to eat the Paschal Lamb and nothing else. I tell thee man, if thou eatest that alone, it will be like bread to thee—thy soul's best food. If thou livest on aught else but the Saviour, thou art like one who seeks to live on some weed that grows in the desert, instead of eating the manna that comes down from heaven. Jesus is the manna. In Jesus as well as by Jesus we live. Now, dear friends, in coming to this table, we will keep the Paschal Supper. Once more, by faith, we will eat the Lamb, by holy trust we will come to a crucified Saviour, and feed on his blood, and righteousness, and atonement.

And now, in concluding, let me ask you, are you hoping to be saved my friends? One says, "Well, I don't hardly know; I hope to saved, but I do not know how." Do you know, you imagine I tell you a fiction, when I tell you that people are hoping to be saved by works, but it is not so, it is a reality. In travelling through the country I meet with all sorts of characters, but most frequently with self-righteous persons. How often do I meet with a man who thinks himself quite godly because he attends the church once on a Sunday, and who thinks himself quite righteous because he belongs to the Establishment; as a churchman said to me the other day, "I am a rigid churchman." "I am glad of that," I said to him, "because then you are a Calvinist, if you hold the 'Articles.'" He replied "I don't know about the 'Articles,' I go more by the 'Rubric.'" And so I thought he was more of a formalist than a Christian. There are many persons like that in the world. Another says, "I believe I shall be saved. I don't owe anybody anything; I have never been a bankrupt; I pay everybody twenty shillings in the pound; I never get drunk; and if I wrong anybody at any time, I try to make up for it by giving a pound a year to such-and-such a society; I am as religious as most people; and I believe I shall be saved." That will not do. It is as if some old Jew had said, "We don't want the blood on the lintel, we have got a mahogany lintel; we don't want the blood on the door-post, we have a mahogany door-post." Ah! whatever it was, the angel would have smitten it if it had not had the blood upon it. You may be as righteous as you like: if you have not the blood sprinkled, all the goodness of your door-posts and lintels will be of no avail whatever. "Yes," says another, "I am not trusting exactly there. I believe it is my duty to be as good as I can; but then I think Jesus Christ's mercy will make up the rest. I try to be as righteous as circumstances allow; and I believe that whatever deficiencies there may be, Christ will make them up." That is as if a Jew had said, "Child, bring me the blood," and then, when that was brought, he had said, "bring me a ewer of water;" and then he had taken it and mixed it together, and sprinkled the door-post with it. Why, the angel would have smitten him as well as anyone else, for it is blood, blood, blood, blood! that saves. It is not blood mixed with the water of our poor works; it is blood, blood, blood, blood! and nothing else. And the only way of salvation is by blood. For, without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. have precious blood sprinkled upon you, my hearers; trust in precious blood; let your hope be in a salvation sealed with an atonement of precious blood, and you are saved. But having no blood, or having blood mixed with anything else, thou art damned as thou art alive—for the angel shall slay thee, however good and righteous thou mayest be. Go home, then, and think of this: "Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us."

So, that which would come to pass with that blood on the door The Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians when He sees the blood upon the Lintel and on the 2-side posts...The Lord will PASSOVER the door and will not suffer (allow) The Death Angel aka as The Destroyer to come into your houses to smite you. The question that Christians today need to be asking is WHO is this "desroyer"? Well it is The Devil, Lucifer, Satan also called Death. So lets get that straight right now so as to truly understand the importance of observing Passover instead of Easter as Christians do today in ignorance I know. Therefore, this is an education to catch the "whomsoever wills" up to speed because my dear brothers and sisters, sons and daughters...it is getting late in the day and The End is Upon Us.

So you see it is Passover is what SHOULD worship and not Easter. Its Passover that keeps Satan out of The Family when you have the TRUE BLOOD OF THE LAMB on the doorposts (which merely is saying BEING IN CHRIST). As long as you have Christ...you have The Truth of The Blood of The Lamb you were "redeemed". Satan HAD to "pass over". God forced him by "ordering him" that he could not touch you. Passover becomes extremely important for the Christian in this particular generation today of the end-times for a very special reason.

In Revelations chapter 9:3-4, there God tells this Angel of the Destroyer which is to say Apollyon from the base 622 in the Greek (look it up in your Strongs Concordance) which is The Devil, THE "Destroyer". It is SIMPLY Satan's name IN THE GREEK LANGUAGE. Like in the English we might say the word is HOUSE but in the SPANISH LANGUAGE the same word is CASA...same "thing" just a different tongue or language. So, here in Revelation 9 God is speaking and says you (Satan) can go DOWN (physically at the 6th Trump to Planet Earth) BUT those that have The Seal of God IN (not on but IN) their foreheads (that's your brain-the Seat of Intelligence and Truth or Deception).

Now what is this "SEAL" that God is referring to ? Its The Truth of God's PLAN of "allowing" Satan(the entity in full personage defacto) to come TO THIS EARTH to "Deceive" those who are biblically illiterate to God's Word because they didn't CARE ENOUGH ABOUT HIM to study HIS WORD, HIS WARNINGS, HIS TRUTH, HIS GUIDE. Then, naturally there is no way Satan CAN DECEIVE YOU because YOU'VE BEEN WARNED and you KNOW hes coming. You KNOW that to "worship" him is to go to hell because it is an abomination to take another god "as God" for The Commandment says "Thou shall have no other gods". For a Christian, this is a sad state of affairs to have professed WITH THEIR MOUTHS they love Christ, and then sit in church every Sunday listening to "preaching" yet they NEVER COME INTO THE FULL KNOWLEDGE of The Truth "because their HEARTS were far off from Him and the evidence of they lacked a "relationship" with Him--and at the LAST HOUR (this same hour Sprugeon speaks of when he ends his sermon of there is ANOTHER HOUR COMING) worship Satan, The Devil, Lucifer, The Destroyer, The Death Angel, The Son of Perdition "INSTEAD OF" (Anti) Christ Our Lord and Savior who like with EVE in The Garden of Eden in the beginning WHOLLY SEDUCED Eve "taking FULL ADVANTAGE" of her "innocence", in the end times will do the same to MANY "NOMINAL" Christians in the VERY NEAR FUTURE because AS A CHRISTIAN "at this moment" upon "repentance" YOU TOO ARE "INNOCENT" as YOUR SINS are "PAID FOR" being "redeemed Of The Lord". I urge you to WORSHIP He (that Christ) who hung from the cross NOT THE IMPOSTER "playacting" in his STARRING ROLE as The ANTI-CHRIST (the "instead of" Christ).

It's gonna be a made for Hollywood Blockbuster hit when he gets on the stage in Jerusalem. His 'image" will go around the globe, every major channel carrying the "goodnews" of the Return of Jesus Christ ONLY it is NOT CHRIST...it's ANTICHRIST, Satan the FAKE imitating Christ. Right now my blood is boiling for what he has done to Our People preying upon your fears, weaknesses, doubts and insecurites. HE DESERVES THE PIT! But God is "using him" for a while to seperate out the sheep from the goats, the True Christians from the fake in name only self-righteous and pious ones.

So, this is the ORDERS from The LORD to Satan "Touch not mine annointed". YOU CAN NOT TOUCH THOSE! Why? Because of Passover! The Lamb slain IS our Passover! When YOU "annoint" THE DOOR of your MIND with His Truth not seminary truth, newsletter and pamplets, but His Truth from His Word His Letter to each of us on a personal basis)....SATAN MUST "by order" PASSOVER you! He can't "touch" you when he comes to this Earth as Anti-Christ which translated means "instead of Christ". Anti-Christ for the English speaking Christian can be a bit hard to comprehend and understand because in our "tongue" (language) ANTI usually means "against" like an anti-war protester. But in the GREEK, this word is very specific here meaning "INSTEAD OF". It all boils down to meaning Satan (the individual cherubim) comes INSTEAD OF Christ "pretending" to be Christ because Father "allows" it a sort of "litmus test" as to who took His Name and hung it above the door as a "righteous status symbol" for everyone to see, and those who entered into that "rest" (Sabbath) with Christ "engaging in a RELATIONSHIP WITH Him".

In the book of Daniel it speaks of this. Satan will be standing in the Holy Place showing the world "he" is Christ and those who are not "informed", WARNED, or those who have "kept God's Word", read it (eating it) absorbed "IT" and all "its" Truth will be "deceived" PERIOD. No ifs, and, or buts about it. And really no excuses because He wrote that love letter to each one of us on a personal basis and each of us can understand it IF we are in a "relationship" with The Lord and He speaks to you and granting understanding because He "feels" that connection and love coming FROM you to Him. You will not have anyone to BLAME but your OWN SELF. You won't be able to say my "Pastor" said "this or that was the truth", or my "Grannie" taught me "this or that".

Brothers and Sisters, Sons and Daughters, it boils down to Free-Will, The Love Letter was written to you "personally" and the beauty of it ALL is- just like in the Courtroom today-and IF you have ever had the honor of making a courtroom appearance before The Judge because you had broken The Law (whether in ignorance of The Law or not...whatever THE CASE may have been) my point being, its YOU, The Judge, Your Advocate/Attorney, and the CASE presented "in the form" of the "offense" (BURGLARY for example) or "law broken". Ignorance of the law is not a DEFENSE. YOUR 'defense' can't be my friend "tricked me and deceived me" into believing it was okay to "enter into that house through the window", or they "dared me". My point here is THE LAW IS THE LAW.

In the 10 commandments GIVEN to Israel it is written "Thou shall have no other gods". Well worshipping Satan is breaking that one! Also it is written and commanded, "Do not take my name in vain (emptiness)". This does not mean while hammering a nail you miss the nail and hit your finger and you yell out "GD". This is "cursing" and thou not becoming a Christian is NOT "breaking The Law". Sin is "breaking The Law". So, to take the name of Christ "becoming" CHRISTIAN and you run up to Satan "believing" he IS Christ--this is taking His Hame in EMPTINESS! You "worshipped" Satan "instead of" WITNESSING AGAINST him and "Bearing Fruit for Christ." You "at that LAST HOUR (called The Hour of Temptation aka that particular 5 month period when he is here on Earth), YOU worshipped the EVIL ONE...The Devil!

Now get THAT down in your guts and understand NOW MORE THAN EVER just how important it is as it is written in 1 Corinthians 5:7 THAT CHRIST IS OUR PASSOVER! We do not go out and slaughter and sacrifice a lamb anymore for the PURPOSE of putting blood on the door posts either! Why? Christ was crucified whereby HIS blood now puts that "sign" (tav) on the door...that sign is being the FACT that you are a Christian. Your life shows it. Thats not being a "holier than thou goody two shoes typer person either! But in TRUTH and knowledge of the GOOD NEWS, The GOOD plan of God, Satan MUST Pass "YOUR HOUSE" Over. This is WHY "PASSOVER" is the Highest HOLY Day in Christianity...its THE most important day...all the "ordiances and sacrifices" of old were NAILED TO THE CROSS on THAT day "FOR" that day He would PAY THE PRICE for sin "for us"!

That "specific" day replacing ALL "others" basically. When you say Christ is your Passover what your saying is - SATAN, NOR ANY OF HIS DEMONIC MINIONS- can touch you or your family! Because he (Satan, The Devil) MUST (by direct order) PASSOVER YOU! Therefore that is why SATAN whould very much like to remove the word "PASSOVER" (or Pascha) from the Bible, or rather from the Greek Manuscripts from the words of Paul himself and CHANGE IT to Easter (Ishtar)! Satan knows the scriptures better than most Christians and would like nothing better. He has in all "effect" and actuality "accomplished it" if you look around today. How? Well look at this season right now. This very weekend will mark Passover and how many churches are observing it? Even right now as I write this-ALL THE CHURCHES (irregardless of the denomination) are ALL "preparing for EASTER. Have you looked at Commerce? Go into any retail store right now, and look at all the Chocolate Easter Bunny Rabbits, the little chicks PEEPS, Easter Eggs, Easter Baskets, and all the "FERTILITY" Goddess signs which have inadvertantly worked there PAGANISM right into the VERY HOUSEHOLD OG God in "Fertility Worship" yet Christians "in DECEPTION" believe they are honoring Christ on The Cross at Calvary and His Death and Ressurrection but very few are taking communion this weekend for Passover which DOES HONOR His Ressurection from the grave. HE DEFEATED DEATH (Satan).

Don't "celebrate" Easter (and inadvertanly worship Queen Ishtar the goddess of fertility)!

OBSERVE Passover. We find through Gods Word the word Passover is documented 85 times in the book of Exodus 7 times, Ex12:1 the next we find in Leviticus the Feast of the Passover and unleavened bread Lev23:4, we find Passover documented 11 times in Numbers 9:1, and again in Deuteronomy 4 times 16:1, and in Joshua 2 times 5:10, and in 2nd Kings 3 times 23:21, and in 1st Chronicles 1 time 7:33, and in 2nd Chronicles 17 times 30:1, and in Ezra 2times 6:19, and in Ezekiel 1 time 45:21, and in Matthew 4 times 26:2, and in Mark 4 times 14:1, and in Luke 7 times 2:41, and in John 9 times 2:13, now we come to 1st Corinthians where Christ is teaching us about leaven symbolic of sin and false doctrine, we also find that Christ became our Passover the blood of The Holy Lamb of God sacrificed on the cross of calvary 1st Corinthians 5:7 , and in Hebrews 1 time 11:28, so now we see that Christ is our Passover.

Get a Strongs Concordance, A Greens Interlinear which is the closest thing to having the ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS and PROVE ME WRONG! Look-up the word Easter and you will see that what I have shared here is accurate and correct and is THE TRUTH! See Satan again is up to his ole tricks and has taken God's Childrens eye off of Him, and onto Paganism "all in the name of Religion" and Christianity. No wonder when we "change bodies" at the 7th Trump...and folks want to go up to Christ speaking of all the great things they did FOR HIM in His Name...He turns away and says Get out of my sight I never KNEW you (in relationship).

Use MATURITY and KNOW I AM NOT TALKING DOWN TO ANYONE who might be reading these words right now..but just KNOW Satan is really really good at "deception". My mission in life is to punch as many holes in the web of lies he has used to ensnare God's Children where YOU in your own strength and knowledge can "deliver yourselves OUT" of his deception by hearing the Truth for IT alones sets you Free. Christ PAID THE PRICE for "your sins". I'm telling you THE TRUTH here. You are faced now with a FREE-WILL "choice". We both have "sold you"-- "pitched" you...but The choice is in wht YOU chose "to buy". Be careful and mature.

I'm trying IN LOVE to gently lead you back in The Truth. I truly understand the heart of Christians--ALL YOUR LIVES, you've heard that one word EASTER, and it is all you know. I understand that! But what I am asking you to "consider" for just one moment that "maybe" YOUR WRONG, and not that "I Teresa" am right...but that God loves you enough that he reached down from on high, and said Teresa, in all YOUR sins, and in all YOUR shortcomings, I chose you to be my vessel. I want you to tell My People the Truth, they most likely won't believe you-they KILLED me! So, be prepared for mockery, disbelief, and keep the Passover in My Name. Bear Witness to My Good Plan. For I know the LOVE, COMPASSION, and MERCY IN your HEART. Teach them and leave "the REST" up to me...for I search the hearts, and I WILL open "their understanding" accordingly.

It is in obedience to My Lord, that I humbly post this this weekend. May God Bless all who read it, and may He open eyes, and touch hearts. We can not awaken this Nation until the Church is awakened to the things we do in ignorance which aren't pleasing to our Father and mock Christ. Amen

In order to observe Passover and Take Communion take some pure virgin olive oil for "anointing" ask the Lord to "Bless it" as Christ being "the anointed one", then anoint yourself and prepare your ingredients, a bit of grape juice or wine is fine too, and an unsalted unleaven wafer or cracker. You can get in the word and commune with Christ readingas follows:

Matthew 26:26 ,"and Jesus took bread and Blessed it and break it and gave it to the disciples and said take eat this is my body, take your unsalted cracker break it and eat it" (now eat your cracker/wafer),follow that by reading:

Matthew 26:27 "and He took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them saying drank ye all of it", (take your grape juice and or wine and drink it now)and follow this by then reading:

Matthew 26:28 "for this is my blood of the new testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Follw this by then reading:

Matthew 26:29 but I say unto you I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drank it new with you in my Fathers Kingdom, now we know this will not be until the 7th trump has sounded you can read this same account of communion in Mark 14:22,Luke22:17.

The rest of this article will contain "indepth" INFORMATION from Paul S. Taylor of Eden Communications on The Pagan Origins of Easter previously touced on above although briefly as to the fertility and pagan symbols of Easter Eggs, and Bunny Rabbits, as well as Ishar. Hope you find it educational, and give pause to the celebration of Easter in the future! As I have stated through-out this article OBSERVE PASSOVER not Easter!

The name "Easter" is highly pagan in origin. On this, all scholars agree. This name is NEVER used in the original Scriptures, nor is it ever associated biblically with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For these reasons, it is preferred to use the term "Resurrection Sunday" or... Resurrection Day" rather than "Easter" when referring to the annual Christian remembrance of Christ's resurrection.

PAGAN ORIGIN

Most reference books say that the name "Easter" derived from the Eastre, the Teutonic goddess of Spring. Although this relationship exists, in reality, the origin of the name and the goddess are far more ancient - going all the way back to the Tower of Babel. The origin begins not long after the biblical flood.

The Flood was a divine judgment sent on mankind after evil had become all pervasive and all people everywhere were totally unresponsive to God. The Bible says that "the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" Genesis 6:5.

It is not difficult to imagine that life must have been almost unbearable at this time in history. God gave humankind a second chance by preserving the righteous man Noah and his family (a total of 8 people).

After the Flood, Noah had a talented, but evil, grandson named Nimrod (Genesis 10:6-10) rebelled greatly against God. The Bible says that he was "a mighty one"[1] Jewish tradition indicates that Nimrod was a tyrant "who made all of the people rebellious against God."[2] It is evident from history that Nimrod was not only a political leader, but also the lead priest of a form of Satanic worship.[3]

King Nimrod, Queen Semiramis (Easter), and Tammuz (the "reincarnated" Nimrod). Nimrod built and organized major cities. The Bible notes that these included BABEL,

Asshur http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Asshur

Nineveh http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Nineveh+

and Calah http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Calah

(Genesis 10:10-12).

If you know anything about ancient history, the mention of these places may send shivers up your spine. For these were cities of great, almost unimaginable practices and perversion. When Nimrod eventually died, the Babylonian mystery religion in which he figured prominently continued on. His wife Queen Semiramis saw to that. Once he was dead, she deified him as the Sun-god. In various cultures he later became known as Baal, the Great Life Giver, the god of fire,

Baalim http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Baalim

Bel
dictionary.com meaning) - heaven-and-earth god of Babylonian religion, from Akkad. Belu, lit. "lord, owner, master," cognate with Heb. ba'al.

Molech, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Molech, etc.

"Later, when this adulterous and idolatrous woman gave birth to an illegitimate son, she claimed that this son, Tammuz by name, was Nimrod reborn."[4] Semiramis "claimed that her son was supernaturally conceived [no human father] and that he was the promised seed, the 'savior'" - promised by God in Genesis 3:15. "However, not only was the child worshipped, but the woman, the MOTHER, was also worshipped as much (or more) than the son!"[5] Nimrod deified as the god of the sun and father of creation. Semiramis became the goddess of the moon, fertility, etc.

"In the old fables of the Mystery cults, their 'savior' Tammuz, was worshipped with various rites at the Spring season. According to the legends, after he was slain [killed by a wild boar] he went into the underworld. But through the weeping of his mother... he mystically revived in the springing forth of the vegetation - in Spring! Each year a spring festival dramatically represented this supposed 'resurrection' from the underworld.[6]

Thus, a terrible false religion developed with its sun and moon worship, priests, astrology, demonic worship, worship of stars associated with their gods, idolatry, mysterious rites, human sacrifice, and more. Frankly, the practices which went on were so horrible that it is not fitting for me to speak of them here.

It was at Nimrod's city of Babel that a towering structure was first built in defiance of God as part of their Satanic religion. Archaeological evidence indicates that this was a spectacular pyramid-shaped structure (ziggurat). The Bible tells us that at this time there was only one language in the world and that most of the world's population centered in this area and participated in this religion. It was evident to God that all mankind would soon degenerate into a level of evil that would parallel that of the pre-Flood world. For humanity's sake, something had to be done to slow and frustrate this organization of an evil one world, tyrannical government.

God confused their language, so that they could not understand each other (Genesis 11:7). This is the ultimate source of the world's many languages.) As a result, many people moved away from the area in groups according to their particular new language. Most, if not all, of these people carried their evil Sun-God-based religion with them. They continued to worship the stars and practice all the other pagan rituals of their religion. Some also continued to build pyramids reminiscent of the Tower of Babel as part of this mystery religion. Today, we can still find remnants of these throughout the world (e.g., Iraq, South America, Central America, Egypt, Burma).

Babel was the origin of an idolatrous system that swept the world. The Bible says of her, "Babylon... the nations drank her wine; Therefore the nations are deranged" (Jeremiah 51:7 . The Bible often speaks of the Satanic religions which came from her. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus "witnessed the Mystery religion and its rites in numerous countries and mentions how Babylon was the primeval source from which ALL systems of idolatry flowed.[7] Austen Layard said "that we have the united testimony of sacred and profane history that idolatry originated in the area of Babylonia - the most ancient of religious systems."[8]

Basically, almost every vile, profane and idolatrous practice you can think of originated at Babel with Queen Semiramis, the Mother Goddess and Nimrod. As the people scattered from Babel with their different languages, they, of course, used different names for Nimrod (Tammuz) and Semiramis. Some called the Mother Goddess "ISHTAR" (originally pronounced "EASTER").[9] In other lands, she was called Eostre, Astarte, Ostera, and Eastre. Other names for Semiramis, the Mother Goddess include: Wife of Baal, Ashtaroth or Ashtoreth and Queen of Heaven.[10] The Mother goddess was frequently worshipped as the goddess of fertility - and as a sort of Mother Nature and goddess of Spring and sexual love and birth. She was also worshipped as a mediator between god and man. Sexual orgies and temple prostitutes were often used in her worship and in attempting to gain her favor.

The Easter Egg
"The egg was a sacred symbol among the Babylonians! They believed an old fable about an egg of wondrous size which was supposed to have fallen from heaven into the Euphrates River. From this marvelous egg - according to the ancient story - the Goddess Astarte (Easter) [Semiramis], was hatched. And so the egg came to symbolize the Goddess Easter."[11]

The idea of a mystic egg spread from Babylon to many parts of the world.[12] In Rome, the mystic egg preceded processions in honor of the Mother Goddess Roman. The egg was part of the sacred ceremonies of the Mysteries of Bacchus. The pagan Druids used the egg as their sacred emblem. In Northern Europe, China and Japan the eggs were colored for their sacred festivals.[13]

The egg was also a symbol of fertility; Semiramis (Easter) was the goddess of Fertility. The Easter egg is a symbol of the pagan Mother Goddess, and it even bears one of her pagan names.

The Easter Rabbit or Hare

The rabbit is well known as a sexual symbol of fertility. In various parts of the world, religions which developed from Babel also associate the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar (Egypt, China, etc.). As you may remember, the Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is associated with the moon. In other words, the Easter bunny symbolizes the pagan Mother Goddess. Annual Spring-time fertility rituals are associated worship of the pagan Mother Goddess and Tammuz, the reincarnation of her husband Nimrod.

Conclusion

"Easter" is simply one of the names of the ultimate pagan goddess - a woman who mightily deceived the world and whose religion has caused untold suffering and misery.[14] "Easter" is clearly an enemy of Christianity, and her son Tammuz was an anti-Christ, a false messiah that ultimately deceived millions.

If you are Christian, it is not difficult to discern the bizarre deception and confusion that Satan has successfully orchestrated. For example, notice the embarrassing irony in these probably well-meant traditions:

On the day commemorating Christ's resurrection, Americans roll decorated eggs on the White House lawn and pretend the Easter rabbit hid them. The same ritual is practiced at some Christian churches.

"In Lancashire [England] on Easter eve boys and men have been in the habit of touring the towns and villages as 'Pace-eggers' begging for eggs before performing the 'Pace-Egging' or Pasch (i.e., Easter) play."[15]

"In Greece each person in a group bangs his red EASTER EGG against the eggs of all the others present in turn, saying 'Christ is risen,' and receives the reply 'He is risen indeed.'"[16]

For centuries Satan watched with twisted delight, as he seduced millions into worshipping people and other created things, instead of the true Creator. Through the millennia, humankind has been easily seduced into participating in every type of perversion. The seductive symbols of the pagan mystery religion that Satan inspired were incorporated into people's everyday lives, even to this day - continuing to obscure the truth of God on this spiritually dark planet. Often this happens because we willingly let it happen. Selfishly and foolishly "all we like sheep have gone astray" (Isaiah 53:6 )

Would it not be a better witness to the world if Christians had never attempted to "Christianize" pagan celebrations - adopting the pagan name "Easter" (Ishtar/Semiramis) in remembrance of Christ? At the very least, Jesus has been obscured by painted eggs and bunnies. Attention is shifted away from spiritual truth and toward materialism (symbolic products, clothing, symbolic candies, and food). Stores merchandise the name of Easter (not "Resurrection Sunday") and sell goods that have nothing to do with Christ's death and resurrection. We naively use symbols and practices that unknowingly perpetuate ancient anti-Christ traditions - symbolic customs followed by the same religious cults that inspired the destruction of great numbers of Christians and Jews. And the Devil laughs at us.

WARNING: What you are about to see is controversial, and may be offensive to some audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.

Porter Stansberry is the founder and the managing director of Stansberry & Associates, a Baltimore–based financial research firm. Over the past decade, they have become one of the largest and most recognized research companies in the world, serving hundreds of thousands of subscribers in more than 120 countries.

Over the past 12 months, in an effort to learn all I can to help others I have been a student of Porter to understand the "economics" of what is taking place in the World. I have also been a student of Dr. Arnold Murray with Shepherds Chapel diligently learning the depths of God's Letter to Us The Bible and aligning the times we are experiencing with Prophecy. All in all, my various blog posts, writings and Facebook commentaries are an effort to warn people about what I believe is a very serious, impending currency and debt crisis in America, that will radically change our way of life and upset the balance of power around the world all which is the pre-requisite to what is commonly known as The Mark of The Beast aka The New World Order or One World Government in Revelations.

This warning is based on publicly available figures that anyone can look up for themselves. These are things that should be obvious to anyone with a background in finance or accounting. But, even if you don't have those skills, the financial problems being addressed here are so large that every American will recognize the seriousness of this situation. And every American ought to know what's about to happen... I believe with 100% certainty that we as Americans are in the early stages of a crisis that will shake the very foundation of our nation.

As early as last November, Porter was predicting that, as a result of this emerging crisis, there would be riots in the streets, protests, and martial law, enforced by the military. The Bible prophesies of wars and rumors of war just before the days of The End of This Dispensation...the "age of the flesh" Well, I have to admit that in recent months, these events have moved more quickly than even I anticipated. Just look around at what's happening today. Angry protests in Wisconsin made front-page news for several weeks. Similar fights and protests are brewing in Indiana, Ohio, and Kansas, just to name a few. In fact, one political organization organized a rally in EVERY state on a single day in late February. Around the globe, there have been massive protests, hundreds of deaths, and even the overthrow of several governments.

And here's the thing. Although few Americans recognize it... As I see it, THIS IS ALL RELATED TO THE VERY SAME CRISIS THAT WILL SOON ERUPT IN FULL FORCE HERE ON U.S. SHORES.

Now, when Porter first started giving this warning four months ago, many people ridiculed his work and thought him crazy. Even as I have been telling people these past 5 years or so to prepare for getting OUT OF DEBT, teaching on FIAT MONEY and to start protecting themselves by investing in precious metals ...my personal choice SILVER...many think me a radical doomsday nutjob. Please understand this... I am not a radical. I am not chicken little running around all the time proclaiming the sky is falling with a crisis every other month. No. For years I never mentioned anything about bad-times ahead. To the contrary I was one living it up as if there was nothing to be concerned with until that one miraculous Day that God shined Grace upon me opening my eyes. The more wisdom I gained, and Truth of what is going on came to a tipping point back last year, I can't help but share with others what is going on. Understand one thing, AMERICA is going into "Captivity" as The Bilbe prophesied, but for the naysayers who won't believe The Word of God and think that The Bible is just a bunch of made up stories; I am in all earnest attempting FOR YOUR SAKES to present the SAME INFORMATION written of thousands of years ago in scripture .I am a conservative. Normally I prefer to stay behind the scenes as much as possible. I never thought I would ever be willing to sacrifice my privacy for anything in the world, much less a warning like this of financial DECEPTION, and the covert activities taking place in our very own government bringing about the demise of America through the ignorance of The American People, and the slumber of The Church.

I have often commented on the apathy and indifference in people today and how it sickens me much like the laziness and selfishness in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah in biblical times. Therefore, I just cannot sit idly by and watch as friends and family, are destroyed by what's going on, especially when there are some very simple steps everyone could take to protect themselves. You see, I am not afraid to risk embarrassment or to be ostracized in an effort to do what I believe is the right thing. I want to protect as many people as I can. So let me state this as firmly and as plainly as I can...

The current problems with our currency and our runaway deficit in the United States cannot be fixed without radical changes to our standard of living. And most people have NO IDEA what's happening to the world around them. THEY ARE TOTALLY UNPREPARED. We are seeing radical changes take place right before our very eyes, as the prices of food, oil, and other commodities like cotton, copper, sugar, corn, aluminum, steel, and wheat absolutely skyrocket.

In late 2008, just after the financial crisis erupted on Wall Street, I saw what was happening... how the government was transferring all of Wall Street's bad debts into the U.S. Treasury. Then... a few months later, in March of 2009, when the Federal Reserve began printing trillions of dollars to paper over these debts I knew would face a serious currency crisis and massive inflation. Finally when the Fed turned on the printing press again in the fall of 2010, I decided to take my warnings to the public, in the form of these writings and various blog posts in the hopes that people will begin to awaken from STUPOR as the wolves are here pulling the wool over the sheeps eyes. Since then the crisis has begun to erupt, all around the world.

People across the globe and even here in America are now realizing that the promises made to them in the form of pensions, healthcare, and contracts... are essentially worthless when the government of America is broke, when it has to print trillions of new dollars merely to finance its existing obligations.

It is NOT(yet) too late.

Believe me, I have no interest in trying to scare you. But this is all happening very fast. And I strongly encourage you to get the facts, so you can make a decision for yourself. This is your second warning. It is highly unlikely that you will receive a third. I know of a few of you who took serious the decline of the dollar in past warnings and have taken measures to protect yourself. You know, my guess is that even with everything we've witnessed in the past few months, as you read this, you'll say: "There's no way this could really happen... not here." Or if a Bible Student "There's no way God would allow this to happen, He will protect us." (Ever think that maybe Him sending WARNINGS, TEACHINGS, HIS WORD, HIS PROPHETS...that maybe He did so already. Maybe the question is "Have you read or heeded The Warnings"?

But just remember: No one believed me three years ago when I said the world's largest mortgage bankers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would soon go bankrupt. And no one believed me when I said GM would soon be bankrupt as well... or that the same would happen to General Growth Properties (the biggest owner of mall property in America). But that's exactly what happened.

And that brings us to today...

The Most Important Problem America is Facing Right Now

In short, the same financial problems tracked from bank to bank, from company to company for the last five years have now found their way into the U.S. Treasury. From our Treasury, this massive crisis was spread around the globe via the Federal Reserve, because the U.S. dollar is the foundation of the world's banking system. Our inflation is being spread, from country to country, upsetting food and energy prices... and sparking revolts. These troubles will find their way back to America too, as people who are dependent on the Gov't, pensions, fixed incomes, and Gov't contracts find themselves impoverished by skyrocketing prices and broken promises. I know we have alot going on...so bear with me and let me try to SORT it out for you. I'll explain how I believe this will all play out. It is critically important for you and every American to understand the facts and the enormous risks we face.

Porter recently said "As I see it, the next phase in this crisis–which is already well underway–will threaten our very way of life. The savings of millions will be wiped out. This disaster will change your business and your work. It will dramatically affect your savings accounts, investments, and retirement. It will change everything about your normal way of life: where you vacation... where you send you kids or grandkids to school... how and where you shop... the way you protect your family and home."

I'll explain how these events are playing out now, and how I believe they will continue. You can decide for yourself if I'm full of hot air. As for me, I'm more certain about this looming crisis than I've been about anything else in my life. How so? The events have played themselves out as forseen and everyone shold be feeling its effect unless you are living under a rock. Also, I have read The Bible, and God gave us His WORD on just how things are going down. The issue resides in DO YOU DEAR READER fully believe Him? Yes, God is fully on the Throne and in control, and while "correcting" somethings and peoples...just step aside and don't get hurt in the correction is in part my warning here outside of the facts presented here.

I know that debts don't just disappear. I know that bailouts have big consequences. And, unlike most of the pundits on TV, I know a lot about finance and accounting. Of course, the most important part of this situation is not what is happening... but rather what you can do about it. In other words: Will you be prepared?
Don't worry, I'm not organizing a rally or demonstration. Instead, I want to show you exactly what Porter is teaching and doing personally, to protect and even grow his own money, and how you can prepare as well.

You see, I can tell you with near 100% certainty that most Americans will not know what to do as commodity prices – things like milk, bread and gasoline – continue to soar. They won't know what to do when banks close... and their credit cards stop working. Or when they're not allowed to buy gold or foreign currencies. Or when food stamps fail... In short, our way of life in America is about to change – in fact, for many it is already changing. I promise you... this is far from over. It is only just beginning. This is in part what brings us to the 5 month HOUR of Temptation, when Satan , as The Anti-Christ comes in peacefully and prosperously HEALING all the woes we are about ot eperience. There is only one problem in that...YOU wont be able to participate in HIS "economy" unless you WORSHIP HIM as God. That is what he always wanted, and therefore a part of "testing" the sheep, Father will "allow" him that "ROLE/OFFICE" to do so for 5 MONTHS. So, you have 2 choices, make preparations now AHEAD of THAT TIME by recognizing the signs NOW, or don't believe, and Satan, The Devil, WILL BE MORE THAN GLAD to earn your loyalty and put a chicken in every pot FOR YOU. Remember, the CHOICE is yours.

You can challenge every single one of my facts and you'll find that I'm right about each allegation I make. And then you can decide for yourself. Will you act now to protect yourself and your family from the catastrophe that has already begun around the world and will soon threaten our way of life? I pray so. I'm going to attempt in all eanest to walk you through exactly what strategies I'm learned, and what you can do as well. I can't promise you'll emerge from this crisis completely unharmed – but I can just about guarantee you'll be a lot better off than people who don't follow these simple steps.

In fact, if you think I'm being "alarmist," just a few weeks ago, Sam Zell (the 60th richest man in America according to Forbes Magazine, and one of the world's best investors), did a rare interview with CNBC.Here's what he said:

"My single biggest financial concern is the loss of the dollar as the reserve currency. I can't imagine anything more disastrous to our country. I'm hoping against hope that ain't gonna happen, but you're already seeing things in the markets that are suggesting that confidence in the dollar is waning. I think you could see a 25% reduction in the standard of living in this country if the US dollar was no longer the world's reserve currency. That's how valuable it is."
Believe me, this is very scary stuff, which not 1 in 1,000 Americans fully understands.

But before I get to the solutions, and the best way to protect yourself, let me back up a bit, and show you in the simplest terms possible what is going on, why I am so concerned, and what I believe will happen in the next 12 months...

The Greatest Danger America Has Ever Faced?

I believe our country is in the midst of a major, major collapse in our national monetary system, and our normal way of life. Basically, for many years now, our government has been borrowing so much money (very often using short-term loans), that very soon, we will no longer be able to afford even the interest on these loans.

Just look at the simple math, which we've updated here using the Congressional Budget Office's January 2011 report and I highly suggest you look it up FOR YOURSELF. These are not "pie in the sky" numbers. These are not "future obligations." I'm talking about the debts our government owes today, right now. Income tax receipts are roughly $900 billion a year (this is the income our government collects in the FORM of taxes off The Peoples personal Incomes) Corporate taxes are roughly $200 billion annually (this is the income our government collects off the Businesses in America).Our current annual deficits (monies we are short) are nearly $1.3 trillion. So, even if you doubled tax revenue, we would still be running a deficit of more than $100 billion.

"Wait a minute," you say. "How can that be? Doesn't the mainstream media report that our deficit is only around $1 trillion per year right now?" Yes, that's what they report. But that's because the government counts all $865 billion of payroll taxes (Medicare and Social Security) as current income. It's not INCOME . Those taxes are supposed to be funding the future liabilities of those programs, but we're spending all that money now. (And, in fact, Social Security will post nearly $600 billion in deficits in the next 10 years. ) If a private corporation did the same thing, its executives would all go to jail.

Consider this simple fact from the National Inflation Association: Even if all U.S. citizens were taxed 100% of their income... it would still not be enough to balance the Federal budget! We'd still have to borrow money, just to maintain the status quo.

That's absolutely incredible, isn't it?

So, folks who believe higher taxes on the rich will solve this problem are simply delusional and DECIEVED. Tax increases will not even make the smallest dent on the true size of our debt. Nor do I believe we can even pay our annual deficits by raising taxes. That's why there's not a single credible plan, by any political party, to merely end our annual deficits, nevermind actually paying back our debts.

And here is the part that really matters... the costs of maintaining our debts are about to skyrocket. Right now the Federal Reserve is manipulating interest rates down to almost zero. As a result, the interest rate at which the government can borrow money is at a record low level – less than 1.5%. Obviously, this won't last forever. But, the question is, how much will we have to spend in interest to actually afford the money we have already borrowed?

Right now we're only paying about $200 billion a year in interest. That's around 18% of federal tax receipts. But if you assume a real, market-based rate of interest, the Federal government might have to spend 6% to cover its debt. In that case, we would be spending $850 billion a year on interest – or 77% of tax receipts. And that's just the interest on the debt we owe right now, today. I'm not including any of the future debts we will surely incur. It should be obvious to you that we're facing a deadly serious crisis. Obviously we can't afford to spend 77% of tax receipts on interest payments. Just as obviously, we can't continually print trillions and trillions of new dollars to fund our debts.

We are trapped. In the chessgame of good versus evil its time to call CHECKMATE...(hence the Captivity at hand)

Lately I've spent most of my time looking into our national balance sheet, because as the banking system collapsed in 2008, all of the bad debts were absorbed by the world's governments. For example, when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac collapsed in the summer of 2008, the U.S. government responded by simply guaranteeing all of their outstanding debt. Since then these companies have recorded hundreds of billions of losses – all of which were passed along to the government. Yes, you can still get mortgages today. And yes, Freddie and Fannie are still in business. But costs associated with these programs are piling up at the U.S. Treasury – and they are enormously expensive.

These losses and trillions in other private obligations are now the responsibility of the U.S. government. The problem is, even before this crisis, our government was deeply in debt. With each additional commitment we sink further and further into debt... closing in upon the moment that we can simply no longer afford even the interest payments on our obligations.

According to even my most conservative calculations (again, using numbers provided by the Congressional Budget Office) a debt default by the U.S. government would be inevitable – were it not for one simple anomaly... the one thing that has saved the United States so far. I'm talking about our country's unique ability to simply print more money. You see, the U.S. government has one very important weapon to use in this crisis: It is the only debtor in the world who can legally print U.S. dollars. And the U.S. dollar is what's known as "the world's reserve currency."

The dollar forms the basis of the world's financial system. It is what banks around the world hold in reserve against their loans. That's a secret that most politicians don't understand: as things stand now, the U.S. government can't go broke in any ordinary sense of the word because it can simply print dollars to pay for its bad debts. (It's been doing so since March of 2009).

That might sound pretty good at first. Since we can always just print more money, what is there to worry about...? Well, let me show you...

Our Biggest Advantage is About to Disappear You see, as things stand today, America is the only country in the world that doesn't have to pay for its imports or its debts in a foreign currency. Let's say you're a German and you want to buy oil from Saudi Arabia. You can't just pay for your oil in German marks (or the new euro currency), because the oil is priced in dollars.

So you have to buy dollars first, then buy your oil.

And that means the value of the German currency is of great importance to the German government. To maintain the value of its currency Germans must produce at least as much as they consume from around the world, otherwise the value of its currency will begin to fall, causing prices to rise and its standard of living to decline.

But in America...?

We've been able to consume as much as we want without worrying about acquiring the money to pay for it, because our dollars are accepted everywhere around the word. In short, for decades now, we haven't had to produce anything or export anything to get all the dollars we needed to buy all the oil (and other goods) our country required. All we had to do was borrow and print more money. And boy did we. Take a look at this chart...

Even as late as the 1970s, America was the world's largest creditor. But by the mid-1980s we'd become a debtor to the world. And since the late 1990s we've been the world's LARGEST debtor. Today, our government owes more money to more people than anyone else in the world. And that was before the financial crisis! With all of these bad debts piling up, we've had to begin repaying our debts by printing trillions of new dollars. And now, finally, the impact of this is being felt in a big way. As our creditors continue to figure out what's happening, we're going to have very, very big problems. I believe our creditors (which includes foreign countries and other investors here and abroad) will either completely stop accepting dollars in repayment... or greatly discount the value of these new dollars. I'm sure you think that sounds crazy, but as I'll show you, it is already happening.

This will make our consumption-led way of life impossible to afford. And I'm confident it will lead to an end of the U.S. dollar standard. Keep in mind, the U.S. dollar has been the world's reserve currency for decades now... so most Americans don't have a clue about what the repercussions are of losing this status. And maybe you think it could never happen... but the truth is, this is exactly what happens when countries get too far in debt or when they consume too much or produce too little. In fact, the exact same thing happened to Great Britain in the 1970s. Most people don't know this, but British Sterling was the reserve currency for most of the world for nearly 200 years... for most of the 18th and 19th centuries. It continued to play this role until after World War II, when America was forced to prop up Britain's economy with foreign aid – remember the famous Marshall Plan, when we gave billions to help European countries rebuild?

Unfortunately though, Britain pursued a socialist national agenda. The government took over all of the major industries. Like Barack Obama, Britain's leaders wanted to "spread the wealth around." Pretty soon the country was flat broke.

The final straw for Britain came in 1967, when things got so bad the Labour Party (the socialists) decided to "devalue" the British currency by 14%, overnight. They believed this would make it easier for people to afford their debts. In reality, what it did was make anyone holding British sterling 14% poorer, overnight, and it made everything in Britain, much, much more expensive in the coming years. And for the country as a whole, it ushered in one of the worst decades in modern British history.

Most Americans don't know about Britain's "Winter of Discontent" in the late 1970s, when the government put a freeze on wages. There were continuous strikes in nearly every sector... grave diggers, trash collectors... even hospital workers. Things got so bad at one point that many hospitals were reduced to accepting emergency patients only. In 1975, inflation in Britain skyrocketed 26.9%... in a single year! The government also imposed what was known as the "Three Day Week" in 1974. In short, businesses were limited to using electricity for only three specified consecutive days' each week and they were prohibited from working longer hours on those days. Television companies were required to cease broadcasting at 10.30pm... to save electricity.

The extreme problems in the economy led to Britain being nicknamed, "the sick man of Europe." Just how bad were things, exactly? Well, here's a photo of the garbage that piled up because they didn't have enough money to pay trash collectors a fair wage...

And here's what John Blackburn, from Wetherby, recently told the BBC television channel about his experience during this period...

John Blackburn, from Wetherby said:

"I was a control engineer at Huddersfield Power Station at the time and part of my duty was to switch off the supply to various substations around the town, according to an official rota. On many an evening shift I would have to switch off the power to my own home before going back for a candle-lit supper!"

Imagine... Britain was a global superpower for 150 years. But when they started intentionally devaluing their currency, things went straight down hill.

Maybe you don't think something similar can happen here... but I'm telling you... it's already underway!

In fact, the exchange value of the U.S. dollar has fallen about 13% since June 2010. And its rate of decline is accelerating. What happened to the British currency is now happening to the U.S. dollar.

As Barron's recently reported:

"When the monetary history...is written decades from now...2010 could be a watershed marking the beginning of the end of the dollar-based, Western-centric monetary system."

As the U.S. dollar continues to lose its position as the world's currency, gas, oil, and other commodities will continue to skyrocket. Almost EVERYTHING we consume will immediately get more expensive. All the clothing, furniture, and household goods we import from China.

All the food we get from Central and South America... all the electronics, televisions, computers, and cars we get from Asia and Europe. In fact, it's happening, right now before our eyes. Everything is getting more expensive...
In fact, each week, The Wall Street Journal has a section called Cash Prices. It lists dozens of commodities, everything from wool, zinc, tin and pork... to gold, silver, platinum, and lead. I recently checked these listing in the paper's March 1st, 2011 edition. And the numbers were mind-boggling...

In short, of the 88 prices quoted ... 85 items are more expensive today than they were just a year ago... many significantly so. Oil is up more than 50% from a year ago. Silver is up more than 100%–so is cotton, and coffee. Tin is up 90%. Oats are up more than 70%. So is wheat. Butter is up more than 40%. So is sugar.
Again, of the 88 prices quoted, the only three physical commodities that are cheaper today than they were a year ago... natural gas, eggs, and chickens. Everything is more expensive! In some cases... MUCH more expensive. And yet the government says there is no inflation? How is that possible? It's unbelievable to me that they think the American public is going to fall for this.

U.S. businesses have certainly caught on...

As Wesley Card, the head of a clothing company that includes brands like Dockers and Anne Klein, recently said: "It's really a no-choice situation. Prices have to come up."

And when you look back further than a year, the numbers are even more startling... The chart below shows how much a few key commodities have skyrocketed in price, just since the beginning of 2009... [note: in the chart, copper should be at 156%, not 220%, silver should be around 150%]

And the point here is simple: As we print more money, the price of the world's most essential commodities have soared. This is NOT a coincidence.

Around the world, as we print, prices soar... citizens protest... governments get overthrown. And it's only going to get worse... Because we can NOT stop printing because we can't actually afford our existing debts. No one wants you to know this. No one. That's why, despite the obvious inflation going on all around the world, the Fed continues to say there's no inflation at all. And that's the scary part, to me. Just like in a Banana Republic, the government is radically devaluing the dollar and totally lying to everyone about what is really happening.

Whether you realize it or not, there is already a "run" on the dollar. Many of our creditors, like the Chinese, are getting out of the dollar as fast as they can via strategic commodities, like copper. That's partly why commodity prices are soaring. Unfortunately, skyrocketing commodity prices are just the beginning. There are other disastrous consequences to the U.S. dollar losing status as the world's currency...
For example, there would be much less demand for U.S. dollars around the globe, so interest rates will skyrocket. Already, just look how quickly rates have moved up in the past 6 months... Instead of getting a mortgage at today's low rates of 5%, it may soon cost you 8% or even 10% or 15%.

Imagine what that would do to housing prices! If you have an existing mortgage right now on a ARM and not FIXED I would make it a priority to get a FIXED rate NOW to avoid the interest rate increase coming upon us. Stock prices will likely plummet by at least 40% in a matter of weeks as a result of this event in the currency markets. It will cost every American business A LOT more money for supplies and materials. Think its hard to get a loan now, at THAT time no one will be able to get a loan... and no bank will want to make loans.

In short, when the U.S. dollar loses its spot as the world's 'reserve currency,' it will cause a brutal downturn in the economy, which I expect will be about 10-times worse than the mortgage crisis of 2008.

As Barron's recently reported:

"The demand for dollars from the rest of the world has been of inestimable benefit to the U.S. economy. It quite simply allows Americans to consume more than they produce and save less than they invest; in other words, to live beyond our means."

You see, what will also happen as a result of this currency crisis, and the end of the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency, will be massive inflation, the likes of which we have never seen before. When everyone is trying to get rid of their dollars, the government is printing more and more to pay debts, and no one wants to own them, the crisis will reach epic proportions. Just look, for historical example, at what happened to one European country that faced this type of crisis in the 1990s... This is what happens during a major hyperinflation in the real world.

The World's Most Expensive Loaf of Bread

In the early 1990s, the national government of one European nation had spent nearly all its savings. So what did they do next? Simple... they began to steal the savings of private citizens by limiting people's access to their money in government-controlled banks. And of course, to finance the daily operations of maintaining their basic infrastructure, they started printing money, big time. Even so, the country's basic infrastructure began to fall apart. There were potholes in the street, broken water pipes... elevators that never got repaired... and entire construction projects that simply shut down, before being completed. The unemployment rate was more than 30%... and the government just kept printing money.

As San Jose State University Economics Professor Dr. Thayer Watkins, an expert on countries that try to inflate their way out of big debts, wrote on this particular disaster:

"The government tried to counter the inflation by imposing price controls. But when inflation continued, the government price controls made the price producers were getting so ridiculously low that they simply stopped producing. bakers stopped making bread... slaughterhouses refused to sell meat to the stores... other stores closed down"

So what did the government do next to try to curb inflation?

Well, one bright idea they had was to force stores to fill out government documents every time they increased prices. They thought that this would slow down price increases, because the paperwork would take so much time! But like many government plans, this one had terrible, unintended consequences. Since stores had to dedicate an employee to do nothing but register this paperwork, and since the process took so long, stores began to raise prices on basic goods at even higher rates, so that they didn't have to come back and file more paperwork!

Incredible, isn't it?

So next the government created a new currency... which basically removed six zeroes from the old one. So 100,000,000 old units were soon worth 100 new units. Of course, this didn't work either... it never does. Between October of 1993 and January 1995, prices increase by, get this: 5 quadrillion percent. That's... 5,000,000,000,000,000%

In other words, a loaf of bread that cost $1 in 1993, suddenly cost $50,000,000,000,001 Yes, that's $50 TRILLION. I know, it's laughable... but I can guarantee that the people of this once proud European country weren't laughing one bit, especially those living on a fixed income. Of course, at this point, the country completely fell apart.

As Dr. Thayer Watkins wrote:

"The social structure began to collapse. Thieves robbed hospitals and clinics of scarce pharmaceuticals and then sold them in front of the same places they robbed. The railway workers went on strike and closed down the country's rail system."

At this point, businesses and citizens across the country basically refused to take the local currency. Instead, everyone started dealing in German Marks. Keep in mind, the daily rate of inflation was nearly 100%.

Can you imagine the panic in a society when the price of just about everything doubles... every single day? It was absolute pandemonium, and the economy basically came to a grinding halt. It was like living in a war zone. Truckers stopped delivering goods. Stores, restaurants, and gas stations all shut down. In another ridiculous government move, the government actually made it illegal to NOT accept a personal check. Imagine... you could write a check... and in the several days that it typically takes for a check to clear, inflation would wipe out almost all of the cost of covering your check.

Of course, as is typical, the government took none of the blame. As Dr. Thayer Watkins reported, the government's official position was that the hyperinflation occurred "because of the unjustly implemented sanctions against the people and state."

Again... I know what you are thinking... "just because it happened in Europe doesn't it mean it can happen here, right"?

Well guess what...

The same thing that happened in this European country – Yugoslavia – also just happened in Iceland and Greece, but on a less dramatic scale. Of course, the only reason the situations in Greece and Iceland weren't worse is because of giant foreign bailouts. Yes... that's right... more debt to solve the problem of already existing, insurmountable debts. Remember too that in roughly the past 100 years this type of debt crisis has reared its ugly head in Germany, Russia, Austria, Poland, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Poland, the Ukraine, Japan, and China. Even more recent was the African country of Zimbawe who's central bank introduced a 100 trillion dollar note as the once prosperous country battles to keep pace with hyperinflation that has caused many to abandon the country's currency. The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe said the new notes that includes 50 trillion, 20 trillion and 10 trillion would be released for the "convenience of the public"."In a move meant to ensure that the public has access to their money from banks, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has introduced a new family of bank notes which will gradually come into circulation, starting with the 10 trillion Zimbabwe dollar."The new 100 trillion dollar bill would be worth about $300 in U.S. currency. A loaf of bread in Zimbabwe now costs about 300 billion Zimbabwean dollars -- and like most commodities, the price increases every day.

Earlier this month, Zimbabwe introduced a 50 billion dollar bill as the country battles to fight cash shortages stemming from the world's highest inflation rate. The official rate was 231 million percent as of July.

The currency is in free fall, forcing traders to peg their prices to international currency to hedge against losses. The Zimbabwean dollar is facing extinction, with most traders now accepting other countries' notes, claiming that they import their products.

Even vegetable vendors prefer the U.S. dollar, South African rand or Botswanan pula, and most workers now demand their salaries in foreign currency. Doctors and nurses have been on strike since last September, demanding salaries in U.S. dollars. The strike coincided with a cholera epidemic that now has claimed more than 2,000 lives.Last week, the state media reported that most teachers had left their jobs. As a result, the end-of-year examinations taken in November are yet to be graded after the markers demanded their wages in foreign currency. Schools are yet to re-open this year awaiting the examination results.

And now it is well underway in the United States.

As George Melloan of the Wall Street Journal reported in late February of this year:

"Indeed, it is unlikely that Americans themselves will escape the inflationary consequences of current Fed policy.... The Fed is financing a vast and rising federal deficit, following a practice that has been a surefire prescription for domestic inflation from time immemorial." –

If you don't believe these problems are already happening in America... just take a look... in November of last year according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington, D.C.-based think-tank, at least 46 states face huge budget shortfalls for 2011.

And some of the crazy things some states are doing to close their budget gap... Arizona, for example, has sold many of their government-owned buildings, including the state capital. California is releasing more than 6,000 prisoners from jail. And nearly every state in the union is talking about legalizing some form of gambling, to boost tax revenues.

Of course, none of these ridiculous steps will work in the long run. And the situation has actually gotten much, much worse...

* THE 60 MINUTES REPORT: Meredith Whitney is one of the most respected analysts on Wall Street. Last fall 2010, Whitney went on the CBS news program 60 Minutes, and predicted that:

"You could see 50 sizeable [local government bond] defaults. Fifty to 100 sizeable defaults. More. This will amount to hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of defaults."

And if this happens, it will instantly become much more expensive, if not impossible, for state and local governments to borrow money. Which means thousands of people could lose their jobs, and hundreds of programs could be shut down, overnight.

Whitney added...

"The most alarming thing about the state issue is the level of complacency. It has tentacles as wide as anything I've seen. I think next to housing this is the single most important issue in the United States, and certainly the largest threat to the U.S. economy,".

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, confirmed that this problem is going on all over the country...

He told 60 Minutes...

"It's not like you can avoid it forever, 'cause it's here now. And we all know it's here. And the federal government doesn't have the money to paper over it anymore, either, for the states. The day of reckoning has arrived. That's it. And it's gonna arrive everywhere. Timing will vary a little bit, depending upon which state you're in, but it's comin'.We spent too much on everything. We spent too much. We spent money we didn't have. We borrowed money just crazily. The credit cards maxed out, and it's over. It's over."

"

The New York Times reported this weekend that New Jersey's total "unfunded liability" over the next 30 years has now passed $100 billion. That's why Christie and other governors around the country are now introducing bills to slash pension benefits to government employees. This would have been completely unthinkable just a few years ago, but now it's happening all over the country... There are huge state pension problems in Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Connecticut, Hawaii, Alaska, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Delaware... the list goes on and on.
And the truly amazing thing is that the U.S. Federal government is in even worse shape than the local governments! The only reason we haven't seen the full brunt of this crisis yet on the federal level is because we've just continued to pile on more and more debt.

The states can't print money... but the Federal government can (at least for now). And for the moment, this is all that is preventing a currency collapse of unprecedented proportions. And this is the important point: What most people don't realize is that the U.S. government can only continue printing dollars... as long as the U.S. dollar remains the world's reserve currency. In other words, this is all going to fall apart much sooner than people think. In fact, it's already happening...

I can't stress this enough: You need to act now in order to protect your assets, and grow your savings in the next few years. But first, let me show you what exactly is going on right now... "America... must be very worried"

Like I said, most Americans don't believe the U.S. dollar could ever lose its spot as the world's reserve currency. But I am here to tell you... this process is already well underway. It is in EFFECT right now, and was foretold in The Bible these things would come upon us...we are reaping the consequences of our putting Trust in Man and "systems" Over God.

For example, although it went almost completely unreported in the U.S. press, last fall 2010, a group of the world's most powerful countries, including China, Japan, Russia, and France, got together for a secret meeting – WITHOUT the United States being present or even knowing about the meeting. Veteran Middle East report Robert Fisk reported on this even in the Britain's Independent newspaper:

"In the most profound financial change in recent Middle East history, Gulf Arabs are planning – along with China, Russia, Japan and France – to end dollar dealings for oil, moving instead to a basket of currencies including the Japanese Yen, Chinese yuan, the euro, gold and a new, unified currency planned for nations in the Gulf Co-operation Council, including Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar."
Fisk also interviewed a Chinese banker who said: "These plans will change the face of international financial transactions. America and Britain must be very worried. You will know how worried by the thunder of denials this news will generate."

And sure enough, after Fisk published the details of this secret meeting, U.S. officials and central bankers from around the globe denied these plans.

But as the old central banking adage goes... how do you know exactly when a currency will be devalued? The answer: Right AFTER the head of the central bank goes on television to adamantly deny that any such transaction will occur. (And guess who just went public in recent weeks with a statement about how the U.S. will "not devalue its currency"? Yes, you guessed it... U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.) You see, the last thing a central banker wants to do in the midst of a devaluation is to give people a warning BEFORE he can devalue. So they have to deny, deny, deny. After the announcement is made, it's too late for citizens and investors to get out.

And then, just a few weeks ago, a major international organization announced a big push for the end of the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency...On Thursday February 10th, The International Monetary Fund issued a report on a possible replacement for the dollar as the world's reserve currency.

CNN reported the story. I'm sure you recognize the significance of this event. The IMF, which is headquartered in Washington, DC, is the intergovernmental organization that oversees the global financial system. They are THE most influential financial organization in the world economy. The IMF has proposed replacing the U.S. dollar with something called "Special Drawing Rights," or SDRs. SDRs represent potential claims on the currencies of IMF members. SDRs were created by the IMF in 1969 and can be converted into any currency, based on a weighted basket of international currencies. When the IMF lends money, it typically does so via SDRs.

The IMF also proposed creating SDR-denominated bonds, which could reduce central banks' dependence on U.S. Treasuries. The Fund also suggested that certain assets, such as oil and gold, which are traded in U.S. dollars, could be priced using SDRs.
This is a HUGE and important step to replace the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency.

It's just another sign of the growing trend...

Any government or investor with any sense is looking to get out of the U.S. dollar as quickly and safely as possible...

For example... China is Secretly Getting Out. China holds more U.S. dollars than anyone else on the planet. And publicly, at least, China is still buying our debt.
But behind the scenes, China is secretly getting out.

Here's what I mean...Let's say you are China, our biggest creditor, and you hold $900billion worth of U.S. treasury bonds, with more coming in daily.If you are worried about the U.S. dollar, what can you do? Well, you certainly can't just start dumping dollars, because prices would collapse, and you'd lose billions of dollars overnight.
So instead, the Chinese are doing something very clever. They have essentially gone on a spending spree with U.S. dollars, paying basically any price to get the money into hard assets, around the globe. In other words, China is getting rid of U.S. dollars, without seeming to get rid of them, and thus, without destroying their value. Very clever.

In December, for example, the China Petroleum & Chemical bought all of the oil and gas assets in Argentina belonging to Occidental Petroleum for $2.5 billion. A few weeks before that they announced plans to buy 40% of the Brazilian operations of Spain's Repsol for $7.1 billion. That puts China's oil and gas deals in Latin America at $13.3 billion for 2010. Before that, the Aluminum Corp. of China (Chinalco) began negotiating a $19.5 billion deal with the world's largest primary aluminum company, Rio Tinto. And China Minmetals paid $1.39 billion for the world's No. 2 zinc miner, Oz Minerals. And this is just the tip of the iceburg.

In fact, China is buying so much, so fast, that The Economist ran a story in November 2010 called: China Buys Up The World.

The magazine reported:

"Chinese buyers–mostly opaque, often run by the Communist Party and sometimes driven by politics as well as profit–have accounted for a tenth of cross-border deals by value this year, bidding for everything from American gas and Brazilian electricity grids to a Swedish car company, Volvo."

Sure, it might "APPEAR" China is overpaying now (deception and a game of chess is at land), so when the dollar collapses, China will have protected its wealth, and should even make a very nice profit.Wealthy Russian oligarchs have been using this trick for years. Instead of keeping millions of dollars in bank accounts in Russia, many pay outrageous fees for houses, sports teams, yachts, etc... anything to get the money out of Russia, so it can't be taken from them by the government. And when you look at the numbers on a percentage basis, it's clear that China is looking to hold a smaller percent of its reserves in U.S. dollars. The number has gone form 74% in 2005 to 65% in 2010.

These moves by China, of course, are just one sign of the end of the U.S. dollar standard. There are many more... No need for U.S. dollars anymore as
Russia and China have announced an interesting agreement recently...To settle their ordinary trading of about $50 billion per year, they will no longer convert to U.S. dollars. You see, it used to be that China had to obtain dollars to buy gas supplies from Russia. But not anymore. And Russia no longer needs U.S. dollars to buy stuff from the Chinese. And this brings us to one of the biggest and most important facts regarding the U.S. dollar.As the dollar loses it's place as the world's reserve currency, foreign countries will no longer need to maintain large holdings of dollars. This means we will no longer be able to print as much money as we want.

This move would have been unthinkable 10 years ago, but today it is the new reality.
As I am sure you are aware, for years the U.S. dollar has been accepted almost universally around the globe. Reuters reports that the same thing has happened in 2008 in one of Europe's most popular tourist spots... Currency exchange outlets in Amsterdam have been reportedly turning away customers who want to exchange their U.S. dollars for Euros.

As one traveling American told the Reuters news agency:

"Our dollar is worth maybe zero over here," said Mary Kelly, an American tourist from Indianapolis, Indiana, in front of the Anne Frank house. "It's hard to find a place to exchange. We have to go downtown, to the central station or post office."

In India, the country's tourism minister said in 2008 that U.S. dollars will no longer be accepted at the country's heritage tourist sites, like the Taj Mahal. And the U.S. dollar is no longer good anywhere in Cuba. The New York Times reports that: "now, many shops in China no longer accept dollar-based credit cards issued by foreign banks... and foreigners cannot convert American dollars into renminbi beyond a given quota."

Iran, of course, has already moved all of its reserves out of U.S. dollars, and Kuwait de-pegged it's currency from the dollar a few years ago: Bloomberg News recently reported that China and Russia plan to start trading in each other's currencies to diminish the dollar's role in global trade.

"Given the risk to the dollar and U.S. assets from their fiscal position, they want to reduce their dependence on the dollar as an invoicing currency," said Bhanu Baweja, of UBS bank.

It's even happening here in the USA

Most Americans don't know that some states in the Mid-West are already using "alternative currencies"... An NBC News affiliate in Michigan reports that
"new types of money are popping up across Mid-Michigan and supporters say, it's not counterfeit, but rather a competing currency. Right now, for example, you can buy a meal or visit a chiropractor without using actual U.S. legal tender."

What most Americans don't realize is that this is all totally legal.

The U.S. Treasury Dept web site says that, according to Coinage Act of 1965:

"There is... no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services."

One report circulating says there are now 150 of these alternative local U.S. currencies being accepted around the country! USA Today reports that the largest of these local currencies is a currency called "Berkshares," which are being used in the Berkshires region of western Massachusetts.

According to the paper:

"Since its start in 2006, the system, the largest of its kind in our country, has circulated $2.3 million worth of BerkShares." And even in places that do not yet have local currencies, store owners may now actually prefer foreign currencies rather than U.S. dollars... In Washington, DC some stores have begun accepting euros. Of course, the euro isn't much more stable than the dollar right now. But my point is that most people don't understand there is NO FEDERAL REQUIREMENT in the United States for a private store to accept dollars for non-debt transactions. You see, no matter what the government decides, stores and businesses will accept whatever they believe is a strong currency.

As Texas Representative Ron Paul wrote recently:

"If you walk into a 7-11 to buy a soda, the clerk doesn't have to accept your dollars, he could demand euros, silver, or copper. But because legal tender laws backing the dollar have caused the dollar to drive other currencies out of circulation, [right now] it is easier for stores to accept dollars." Well, all that is quickly changing...

Many places in Texas now accept Mexican pesos for payment. "Euros Accepted" signs are popping up in of all places: Manhattan. And not only Manhattan, but in New York's favorite summer playground... the Hamptons. There, an art gallery assistant was quoted by The Real Deal: "I wouldn't want to discourage a sale in any way because of a currency issue."

And it's not just small stores that are accepting other methods of payment besides U.S. dollars. The Chicago mercantile exchange the world's largest futures and commodities exchange board, now accepts gold to settle futures contracts. Until recently, the exchange typically accepted only U.S. treasuries and bonds as payment. These guys obviously see the writing on the wall.

This would have all been completely unthinkable 10 years ago, but today it's a reality. And this trend is going to keep moving incredibly fast.

That is why... Smart and Awake Americans are taking action...
Bill Gross, who probably knows as much about currencies and debt as anyone in the world, runs the world's biggest bond fund. He was quoted by Bloomberg:

"We've told all of our clients that if you only had one idea, one investment, it would be to buy an investment in a non-dollar currency. That should be on top of the list."

Jim Rogers, one of the world's most successful multi-millionaire investors writes:

"The dollar is not just in decline; it's a mess. If something isn't done soon, I believe the dollar could lose its status as the world's reserve currency and medium of exchange, something that would lead to a huge decline in the standard of living for U.S. citizens like nothing we've seen in nearly a century."

I know... you probably still don't believe it can happen here in the United States. But think about it... Are we as Americans really immune to the laws of economics and finance? I don't think so. And every circumstance I know of, in which a government has tried to inflate its debts away, has ended in disaster. It will happen here too.

As Jim Rogers says:

"History teaches us that such imprudent monetary and fiscal behavior has always led to economic disaster."

This is why World Bank president, Robert B. Zoellick, in a speech at the School for Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, recently said:

"The United States would be mistaken to take for granted the dollar's place as the world's predominant reserve currency. Looking forward, there will increasingly be other options to the dollar."

And this is why the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently called for a new global currency. This is why big U.S. companies like McDonald's and Caterpillar have begun introducing what are called "dim-sum bonds." These are securities denominated in the Chinese currency (the renminbi) by non-Chinese borrowers. In other words, two of the biggest and most successful corporations in America realized they would have an easier time raising money by offering their bonds in a currency other than the U.S. dollar! Do you see where this is all heading?

As Brazilian economist and strategist Ricardo C. Amaral wrote recently:

"The US dollar served its purpose since the end of WW II and became the major foreign exchange reserve currency... [but] the days of the US dollar playing that special role... has reached the end of the line, since today that system is very sick and it is dying a slow death... Mr. Amaral added that we will soon see: "the major collapse of the US dollar creating the biggest international monetary crisis the world has ever seen..."

This is why gold and silver prices are soaring: The point is, it's not a matter of "if" the U.S. dollar will lose its status as the world's reserve currency... it's a process that is already underway. Investors, foreign governments, and large corporations know there are serious, serious problems with the U.S. dollar, so they are fleeing to precious metals, which have historically been very reliable when a country has major currency problems. In short: It's not hard to see why people are no longer accepting U.S. dollars... and why many foreign countries are pushing for a new world reserve currency.

But first let me explain why the collapse of the dollar as the world's reserve currency could happen much sooner than most people expect...

TRUTH: The REAL State of the U.S. Economy

I know many are still in serious denial. In the world of psychology, they call this the "normalcy bias." You see, the normalcy bias actually refers to our natural reactions when facing a crisis. The normalcy bias causes smart people to underestimate the possibility of a disaster and its effects. In short: People believe that since something has never happened before... it never will. We are all guilty of it... it's just human nature. The normalcy bias also makes people unable to deal with a disaster, once it has occurred. Basically... people have a really hard time preparing for and dealing with something they have never experienced. The normalcy bias often results in unnecessary deaths in disaster situations. For example, think about the Jewish populations of World War II...

As Barton Biggs reports in his book, Wealth, War, and Wisdom:

"By the end of 1935, 100,000 Jews had left Germany, but 450,000 still [remained]. Wealthy Jewish families... kept thinking and hoping that the worst was over... Many of the German Jews, brilliant, cultured, and cosmopolitan as they were, were too complacent. They had been in Germany so long and were so well established, they simply couldn't believe there was going to be a crisis that would endanger them. They were too comfortable. They believed the Nazi's anti-Semitism was an episodic event and that Hitler's bark was worse than his bite. [They] reacted sluggishly to the rise of Hitler for completely understandable but tragically erroneous reasons. Events moved much faster than they could imagine."

This is one of the most tragic examples of the devastating effects of the "normalcy bias" the world has ever seen. Just think about what was going on at the time. Jews were arrested, beaten, taxed, robbed, and jailed for no reason other than the fact that they practiced a particular religion. As a result, they were shipped off to concentration camps. Their houses and businesses were seized. Yet most Jews STILL didn't leave Nazi Germany, because they simply couldn't believe that things would get as bad as they did. That's the normalcy bias... with devastating results. We saw the same thing happen during Hurricane Katrina... Even as it became clear that the levee system was not going to work, tens of thousands of people stayed in their homes, directly in the line of the oncoming waves of water. People had never seen things get this bad before... so they simply didn't believe it could happen. As a result, nearly 2,000 residents died.

Again... it's the "normalcy bias."

We simply refuse to see the evidence that's right in front of our face, because it is unlike anything we have experienced before. The normalcy bias kicks in... and we continue to go about our lives as if nothing is unusual or out of the ordinary.Well, we're seeing the same thing happen in the United States right now.
There are many today continuing to get INTO more debt, living like they did back in the 80's. We have been the world's most powerful country for nearly 100 years. The U.S. dollar has reigned supreme as the world's reserve currency for more than 50 years. Most of us in America simply cannot fathom these things changing. But I promise you this: Things are changing... and faster than most people realize.

For a moment, just look at a tiny fraction of the evidence around us.... 14% OF POPULATION ON FOODSTAMPS

Did you know that there are now nearly 44 million Americans on food stamps? That's nearly 14% of the entire population. Those numbers are up 16% from 2009... and that translates to roughly 1 in 7 Americans! Can a country really be in good shape when 14% of the population can't even afford to buy food?

Or how about this... 43% OF AMERICAN FAMILIES ARE ESSENTIALLY BROKE According to a recent article on MSN Money, about 43% of the American families spend more than they earn each year.

The average household carries $8,000 in credit card debt... and personal bankruptcies have doubled in the past decade. How in the world can we possibly spend our way out of the current crisis? We certainly can't do it with savings... the only answer is to print more money, which will hasten the fall of the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency.

SOARING FOOD PRICES AROUND THE GLOBE

World food prices soaring offers still more evidence that something unusual is happening. Food prices and the market for U.S. Treasurys are negatively correlated. That is, as food prices rise, U.S. Treasurys fall. We know there's a fundamental reason for this: food, around the world, is priced in U.S. dollars. As people begin to fear inflation, they buy food and sell U.S. Treasurys. Judging by food prices, the market for U.S. Treasurys is likely to collapse. What's amazing to me is that so few people make these simple connections. I think it's going to be exactly like the mortgage mess we saw a few years ago. In hindsight, people will look back and be shocked that they didn't see this coming. But for now, they just go on blissfully ignorant about what is happening.

And that brings me to... THE MYSTERY OF DISAPPEARING JOBS

There's simply no one better at bending statistics than the U.S. government. Take the unemployment rate, for example. Back in the 1930s, anyone without a job but not retired was considered "unemployed." Today, however, the government calculates unemployment mainly by counting the number of people receiving unemployment benefits. So when people's benefits expire, they are no longer counted... and the unemployment rate actually falls! Ridiculous... I know. But the reality is, the true unemployment rate is much, much higher than what the government is reporting.

If you don't believe me, look at two job postings I read about recently... In Long Island City, an estimated 2,000 people waited in line at the local employment office – some for as long as four days! – to apply for 100 elevator mechanic apprenticeship positions.

We even found a photo of this incredible scene...

And in Massillon, Ohio, 700 people recently applied for a single janitorial job... paying $16 an hour, plus benefits! The point is, our country is not growing jobs, because the government makes it harder and harder for businesses. With current regulations in place, our country will never experience the type of growth necessary to dig our government out of the hole they've put themselves in.

I'm sure you think I'm exaggerating, but just look at what the CEO of one of America's most important companies said just a few weeks ago..

Intel CEO Paul Otellini said in a recent speech:

"I can tell you definitively that it costs $1 billion more per factory for me to build, equip, and operate a semiconductor manufacturing facility in the United States"

He said that 90% of the additional costs are not from higher labor rates... but from higher taxes and regulatory charges, which other nations simply don't impose.

Cypress Semiconductor CEO T.J. Rodgers agreed that the problem is not higher U.S. wages, but anti-business laws. He was quoted in an interview with CNET News:

"The killer factor in California for a manufacturer to create, say, a thousand blue-collar jobs is a hostile government that doesn't want you there and demonstrates it in thousands of ways."

Few Americans today realize that we have the second highest corporate tax rate in the world. And since Japan's new prime minister just announced that his country's corporate tax rate will by cut by 5% at the start of the next fiscal year... the U.S. will soon have THE highest corporate tax rate in the world. Why would anyone want to start a business here, when they can do it for less money...and keep more of the money they make... by locating elsewhere?

It's just another good reason to avoid the U.S. dollar... So is this:

DEBT-RIDDEN U.S. COMPANIES Did you know that in 1979, there were 61 American companies that earned a top-level AAA credit rating from Moody's? Today, there are only four: Automatic Data Processing, Exxon, Johnson & Johnson, and Microsoft Does this sound like an economic recovery to you... when only four companies in the entire country are stable enough to earn a triple-A credit rating?
Me neither. But it's nothing compared to what's going on in the housing sector...
Of course, this might look good for economic numbers, but all it does is make the situation much, much worse in the long run. Here's something else that should give most Americans pause... but is rarely mentioned in the mainstream press...

IN THE STOCK MARKET, IT'S 1937 ALL OVER AGAIN

One of the most worrisome problems in the stock market right now is that we are basically repeating the exact same situation that occurred from 1937 to 1942. Most Americans think we've had this amazing stock market recovery since the financial crisis of 2008... and we have to a certain extent. But we are by no means out of the woods. In fact, during America's last real economic collapse, in the 1930s and 1940s, we saw a similar drop and recovery... before the markets crashed all over again.
In fact, the situation is eerily similar. Look at this chart... it's one of the scariest I've seen in a long time. It shows an overlay of what happened in the stock market in 1937 compared to 2008.

In both situations, we saw big crashes, of about the exact same magnitude... then a big recovery, again of about the same size. But what will happen next?
Well, if history is any guide, we could well have another big leg down in the stock market. That's exactly what happened 70 years ago. And with all of the problems left unresolved in our economy today, it could certainly happen again, especially if the U.S. dollar loses its reserve status. The Wall Street Journal did report on this situation recently, and said:

"Over the last year the stock market has followed a path eerily similar to 1937. First, a strong, rapid run to a recovery high – same pace, same magnitude. Then a correction – again, the same. Will we continue on the path that led the correction of 1937 into a collapse in 1938?"

The point is, the cards are seriously stacked against us. This looming currency crisis is inevitable. Almost every state in the country is on the verge of bankruptcy. We have borrowed an impossible amount of money, which we'll never be able to pay back. Our economy is an absolute mess. Taxes are sky high already... and will certainly go much higher over the next few years. And nearly all of the world's major financial players are preparing for an alternative to the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. To me, it is so obvious that we are about to experience a serious currency crisis, that I can't believe people can deny this reality with a straight face.Again, if you don't believe a currency crisis is coming, just take another look at the price of gold and silver compared to the U.S. dollar over the past decade.

Think about this...

Silver is up more than 500% since the year 2000.I mean... how high do precious metals prices have to go before the average American realizes how serious this problem is? To me, it's clear that investors would rather hold gold and silver, rather than U.S. dollars. Anyone with any sense or basic understanding of economics can tell that the U.S. dollar is doomed. And it's going to have major repercussions, which the average American has not yet even considered.

So, what can you do?

Well, there are a surprising number of simple things you can do to not only protect what you've currently got, but to also potentially make quite a bit of money as this currency crisis unfolds.

What You Can Do to Protect Yourself and Actually Make Money

So what should you do... to protect and possibly even grow your wealth in the next few years? Well, there's a series of pretty simple financial moves I believe you should begin making, immediately. And here's something I want you to keep in mind: I'm really only going to talk about your finances here.

As far as protecting your family... well... it depends on your circumstances. If you live in an urban area, I recommend making sure you've got somewhere you can go in case there are riots or food and water shortages. I think there's a very good chance we'll see that in the next two years. Wherever you're going to wait out the chaos, I recommend you have basic food, water, and medical supplies to last you for at least six months.

Remember, you won't be able to count on the government during this crisis. Think about it... if the government couldn't even save the city of New Orleans during hurricane Katrina, how in the world will it save an entire country when all hell breaks lose? And as I said earlier, the truth is, the government won't even try to save individual American citizens... the government will be much more concerned with saving itself.

As far as taking care of your money – to make sure you don't lose money and even use this situation to come out quite a bit ahead – well, that's where I can help you.

All of the moves I recommend are simple and fairly straightforward to implement – at least right now. If you wait to do these things, however, they will almost certainly get very expensive, difficult, and even impossible to do. If you do these things now, not only will you be better prepared to weather the coming storm, I believe you could also make quite a bit of money over the next few years.

And if I'm wrong... well... that's the best part... I think you'll still make very good gains. Even if all we get out of this crisis is a mild inflation, you will still be set up to do very, very well.

So here are the specific steps you should take...

STEP #1. GET SOME OF YOUR MONEY BEYOND THE REACH OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT (it's perfectly legal, and a lot easier than you think) DO NOT keep your valuables in a safety deposit box which the government can seize. I know you probably don't believe me when I tell you that the U.S. government is going to implement policies to save itself, which are unimaginable right now. But remember, desperate governments will do very desperate things. That's why they outlawed the ownership of gold 80 years ago. That's why they are already talking about "nationalizing" automatic 401(k) and retirement plans... and it's why it might soon be against the law to open a foreign bank account, or to move your money overseas without paying outrageous taxes.

In short, I learned that there are four simple investments you can make right now, which you DO NOT have to report to the U.S. government.

Don't get me wrong...

When and if you ever sell these things, years down the road, you are still required to pay taxes on your gains. But the great thing is, while you are holding these investments, so long as you play by the rules, neither you nor anyone else is required to report them to the government.

And this benefit should be obvious...

The less the government knows about where you have your money, the better. They simply will have a very hard time taking what they don't know you have.

STEP #2: HOW TO ACQUIRE THE WORLD'S SAFEST ASSETS, WHICH ARE LIKELY TO PERFORM BEST DURING THIS PERIOD.

What I'm talking about here is buying as much gold and silver as you can reasonably afford. I know... gold has had a huge run, jumping more than 300% in the past decade. But believe me, when the U.S. dollar loses its status as the world's reserve currency, this early run is going to be a mere afterthought. I will be surprised if gold does not reach $5,000 or $6,000 an ounce in the next few years.

The smartest money managers in the world, people like George Soros, David Einhorn, and John Paulson, have all recently taken huge positions in precious metals. And I think you are crazy to not do the same. And what about silver? Well, I persoanlly believe silver will serve a unique role during this currency crisis and this is why I have suggested in the past for convenience and cost factor to obtain it. Let me explain... For most of recorded history, the price of gold has been around 16 times the price of silver. This ratio – the so-called "silver ratio" – has fluctuated from time to time based on silver discoveries and attempts by governments to regulate the silver-to-gold ratio. But... in a free market, where demand for silver as money exists, I'd expect the natural supply and demand balance to lead to a silver price around 1/16 times the price of gold.

Based on the historical ratio, with the price of gold around $1,400, the price of silver should be around $87. It's not, of course. Today, silver is trading around $27. Today then, gold is selling for more than 50-times the price of silver. What explains the difference between hundreds of years of history and today? Why is silver still so cheap relative to gold? When silver is "demonetized," as it is now (meaning it's not being used for money, but just for industrial purposes), supplies soar as people sell silver for gold and other currencies.

On the other hand, during periods of monetary crisis, demand for silver as money pushes the silver ratio heavily in silver's favor.

For example, the ratio returned to its historic range (16) during World War I. It happened again in the early 1970s, when Nixon abandoned the gold standard. It also happened most famously in 1979-1980, when it seemed as if America was really entering a serious money crisis. Most people don't know this, but silver is actually the best-performing asset of this century... not gold.

As Chris Weber pointed out in his November 1st newsletter, Gold has risen from $256 to $1,365 since 2000. That is a rise of 433%. Silver has risen from $4.02 to $24.96. That is a rise of 521%.

And in the months since Chris has written this, silver has jumped another 44%! Those of you who heeded my warning last year have made quite a bit of good positioning in protecting your assets. In short, silver is the best hedge against a money crisis. Though only currently used in industrial needs, as the dollar fails, silver will once again be in demand as money. And as this demand materializes, the free market price of silver will likely return to around 1/16 the price of gold. When gold hits $2,000 an ounce, and assuming the price of gold is 16 times the price of silver, silver should be worth about $125. Personally I believe silver will likely hit $187 an ounce.

If that happens, you could make gains of around 400% if you invest at today's prices. If you paid attention and listened to me from last year and have already traded your Fiat Dollars for Silver, be junk silver or Canadian Maples or Buillions...you already know the gains made. But that was when silver was still less than $20. When gold was under $1000. That was before food prices soared. Before the Fed began to print trillions of new dollars every year. That was before folks realized most of the states are going bankrupt... before they saw that even doubling taxes wouldn't end our annual deficit.

And, we know all of these problems are going to get a lot worse. The fact is, we can't afford our debts. We can't stop printing money. And as a result, we're going to see a massive dollar crisis.

The only question is, what will it take for you to recognize the crisis I've been warning about? How high will gold have to go? How many banks will have to be seized by the FDIC? How high will oil have to soar? Or food prices? Or foreign currencies? When will you finally realize there's a problem...?

Even the Wall Street Journal can see the writing on the wall. They ran a story on March 2nd of this year (the day before my 47th Birthday) called: Why the Dollar's Reign Is Near an End I hope you will act now. When the situation finally turns, it will happen suddenly. If our government suddenly finds itself unable to sell bonds at a reasonable price, the rule of law will evaporate overnight. Most people will do nothing. They will continue to assume tomorrow is likely to be pretty much the same. These people are going to get wiped out.

Please, don't let that happen to you and your family. It is NOT(yet) too late

Eve said:"The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat." Teresa asks: Are YOU "being beguiled"?

2011-03-11T12:34:00.002-05:00

Today is Ash Wednesday marking the beginning of the Season of Lent. It is a season of penance, reflection, and fasting which prepares us for Christ's Resurrection and PASSOVER, through which we attain redemption. While the ashes symbolize penance and contrition, they are also a reminder that God is gracious and merciful to those who call on Him with repentant hearts. His Divine mercy is of utmost importance during the season of Lent, and the Church calls on us to seek that mercy during the entire Lenten season with reflection, prayer and penance.

Today, marking the beginning of the season of reflection, my mind went back TO THE BEGINNING and Genesis reflection on what transpired there whereby in prayer and a heart change may others come into the knowledge of The Truth. It is with a humble heart and a love for all that I share today. May Christ rest upon your heart , and may you seek Him in prayer for understanding of Our Purpose on Earth during this upcoming Passover Season. I pray a covering of protection over The House of Israel, and may We The People of America begin to truly awaken this year. Amen.

Genesis 3:13 "And the Lord God said unto the woman, "What is this that thou hast done?" And the woman said, "The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."

This is the same reason that Paul used in his concern about the end generation. He worried that the Church, or body of Christ would not understand that the false Christ will come disguised as the true Christ.

Eve stated just as Paul quoted her; "The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat." Eve had intercourse with Satan and lost her virginity. From that union came Cain, the father of all Kenites. Learn the truth.

Genesis 3:14 "And the Lord God said unto the serpent, "Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:"

This is God speaking to Satan. God is cursing Satan above all living creatures. This is a figure of speech, meaning you are the lowest thing of all creation. Now God continues to speak to the serpent [Satan].

Genesis 3:15 "And I [God] will put enmity between thee [Satan] and the woman [Eve], and between thy seed [the Kenites] and her Seed [Jesus Christ]; It [Christ] shall bruise thy [Satan's] head, and thou [Satan] shalt bruise His [Christ's] heel."

Eve's seed is our Lord Jesus Christ. While Satan's seed are the children, to the last generation, called the Kenites. Those offspring are born from the sexual union between Eve and Satan [the serpent, and the tree of good and evil]. God is telling us that He will put trouble between Eve's children [through Adam and Seth], and Satan's offspring through Cain, called the Kenites.

It is Jesus Christ that shall bruise the head of Satan, at Christ's return at the second advent; while it was Satan's children the Kenites (aka the synagogue of Satan), [not our brother Judah] that bruised the heel of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. This was done when the spikes were driven through Christ's heel, as He hung on the cross to pay the price for our sins, once and for all.

Most "men of God" acknowledge that Genesis 3:15 is talking about the death of Jesus Christ, when He was nailed to the cross for our sins. They recognize that "seed" is referring to the children of the woman "Eve", yet somehow they just want to spiritualize everything else that happened in the Garden of Eden between Eve and the two men [Satan and Adam]. The "seed" in the Hebrew is called "zirmah", and in the Greek it is "sperma". We in the English call it "sperm", and in Strongs Hebrew Dictionary # 2233; "Posterity, carnally, child, fruitful". Friend, it can't be any clearer. The seed of Satan's "posterity" are the "Kenites", while Adam's posterity is in Christ, and of the pure bloodline through Seth.

Until you understand what really took place in the Garden of Eden, and why; it will be difficult for you to grow up and mature in the Word of God, and in true Christianity.

Genesis 3:16 "Unto the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."

This is God's instruction to the woman. Did God say that He would give Eve a tummy ache for eating too many apple seeds? No; the word in any language that you translate it in, is "conception". To "conceive" is to be impregnated with a child. This places the woman's position in the home under the man. You may say, well, did Jesus teach that? Just the asking of the question alone reflects your understanding of God's Word. Turn to Matthew 13, and see what Jesus said about what happened in the beginning. Jesus is answering His disciples, and telling them that if you don't understand this [the parable of the sower] you are not going to understand any of My parables.

Remember how Jesus told the "Parable of the sower"; how the good man planted the seed, and the enemy came in the night and planted another seed. That enemy was Satan, and as we are seeing in Genesis 3, he planted the bad seed in Eve. That is why God put enmity between the "Kenites" [Satan's seed], and Jesus Christ, and caused the Kenites to kill the Messiah, Jesus Christ. After Jesus told his parable of the sower, His disciples asked Him why He always talked in parables in public. Then in Matthew 13:11 Jesus answered.

Matthew 13:11 "He [Jesus] answered and said unto them, "Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of heaven, but to them it is not given".

God simply does not want these scribes and Kenite Jewish leaders to understand. They are the negative part of God's plan.

In Matthew 13:37 Jesus is going to explain to the disciples the "parable of the sower" [fig tree]; "He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;"

"The Son of man" as it is used here is in reference to Adam, and not Christ [per reference from the Hebrew Massorah]. Jesus is not speaking in parable here, but explaining one.

Matthew 13:38 "The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;"The "world" is this place we live in and walk on in this earth age, and we see here we are not talking about apple seeds. The "tares" are the children of the wicked one who is Satan. Those children are called Kenites "The Offspring of Cain".

Matthew 13:39 "The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels."

The "devil" is known by many names, such as the "tree of good and evil", and the "serpent" here in Genesis 3, but he is Satan. Though many would like to separate the good and the bad seed now, Jesus is telling us that that is the job of the angels.

Matthew 13:40 "As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world."

If you do not understand what happened in this parable, then you will be ignorant of who the Kenites [the tares] really are. This will leave you open to the deceptions that are covering the earth in these final days, and you will be taken up by them. Satan's kids, the Kenites, infiltrated the religious ranks of the Jewish leaders in Babylon [I Chronicles 2:55, and Ezra 2:43-65], and today they have infiltrated the Christian ranks of the Church leadership as well as areas in our government "sitting in the seat of Moses".

Understand that the product of Eve's deception was bearing a child by Satan, and that child's name was "Cain". Jesus explained this parable of what went on in the garden of Eden so you and I could understand exactly how Satan intended to destroy God's plan; for sending the Messiah to earth, to be born of woman [through Eve] hence He Himself was "born again” (meaning born from above INTO this earth); and thus providing a way for sinful man to come back to God. Remember Christ's teaching "If you have SEEN the Son you’ve SEEN the Father" The Messiah is the "office" of Savior while simultaneously the "soul" of The Father was BORN into The Flesh AS Jesus Christ, Emmanuel.

The Gospel of John 14:8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.

This verse is crucial in Jesus shaped Christianity and Spirituality. It does not say that if we have seen Jesus we have an incomplete and inaccurate view of the Father. While there are obviously vast aspects of God that we can’t understand, all that we can understand about the Father is clearly seen in Jesus.

Jesus is the Father’s revelation as the "image and phantom or a CARBON COPY" of Himself "coming from Above to the earth" . Not one revelation that needs dozens of other revelations in order to give an accurate picture, but “if you have seen me, you have seen the Father.”

It is much like saying, “If you read chapter 3, you know all the answers for the exam(NOW can you be deceived?)There may be much knowledge that pertains to the subject of chapter 3 that you don’t know, but what you need to know, what it is essential for you to know, is revealed to you in chapter 3.

So God has revealed all (The Revelation) we can understand and all we need to understand about Himself as our Father and through Jesus our Savior.

So Jesus, The Son, doesn’t present a different God than the Father, but is the perfect revelation of The Father.

Does the God we know, worship and communicate conform to what God has revealed about himself in Jesus?

Does the God we worship contradict or avoid what we know in Jesus?

Do we conform other parts of scripture to what God has revealed of Himself in Jesus, or do we allow Leviticus to tell us more about God than God has revealed personally, verbally, savingly in Jesus? "The Jesus shaped life" is the life that takes Jesus as the great revealing Word from God that reveals the Father and requires a HEART change to truly get a revelation of Him in the beginnings in order to see and understand His evil archetype Satan in his coming to this earth in his "office" as The Anti-Christ playacting Our Lord and Savior. And our life is a response to listening to that Word and hearing His Voice. In my note “Today, IF you will Hear His voice…” – Psalm 95:7 I speak on that more in depth.

1Corinthians 11:10 "For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels."

It is for this reason that the woman ought to have the power, which is the authority of that God gives to each of us, when we are in Christ. This again is written to the end generation in the GENERATION of The Fig Tree (1948), and our power and authority come from the Word of God. That knowledge and wisdom that is in the Word of God is where our power comes from, and we must have that wisdom in our mind or we will not stand in the day of the deception. This goes way back to Genesis 6, and it pertains to what the angels did when they came to earth. It was for this reason that the flood of Noah came to be, for Satan could not destroy the Seed, so he tried to destroy the coming of Christ through Eve's daughters.

Genesis 6:1"And it came to pass, when the men began to multiply one the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,"

So the subject that we are trying to learn is why does a woman today ever have to protect herself from angels? Got the subject here? Daughters are born to men.

Genesis 6:2 "That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."

"Sons of God" are the "Nephilim" or "fallen angels spoken ". They are the angels that have committed themselves to Satan in his fall in the first earth age. These fallen angels saw that the daughters of flesh men were very beautiful, and they wanted to take them for their wives. Remember that flesh man was created from the dust of the earth, and the woman was created just like the man, also from the dust of the earth as a companion for each other. These fallen angels sought to have the things of flesh man, and their experiences of marriage, without being born of woman. which is exactly the meaning of being "BORN AGAIN". This "act" puts one in a state of "innocence" from the ACT of following Satan before in First Earth Age. Count this as no "strange thing" but understand we have fought this "fight" before with Satan back when he drew 1/3 of God's children (stars) AWAY from him at the “katabole”.

Angels are supernatural beings (not "flesh") but of a different form, mass and dimension, and these fallen angels took for themselves the daughters that they wanted. This went directly against God's plan of our flesh age. They have the power and the supernatural wisdom to take what they wanted from flesh man.

2 Corinthians 11:2 "For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ."

"Espoused" is to cause one to become engaged. What is the subject and the object here? The subject is "presenting you as a chaste virgin; while the object is loosing ones virginity." Christ is the husband and we are the bride of Christ. This is using a flesh term to explain a spiritual matter. Virginity is a state of condition relating only to sexual matters of a woman [female], and when Christ called the church His bride, He expects us to act as a bride.

2 Corinthians 11:3 "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." In other words, you turn away from the simplicity of reading with understanding God's Word.

The word "beguiled" in the Strong's Greek dictionary is # 1818; "exapatao, ex-ap-at ah-o, from 1537 and 538, to seduce wholly, to beguile, deceive." In # 1537 we read; "ex, shows point of origin".

This verse has only one meaning, and that is not to be wholly seduced, and lose your virginity as Eve did. So in the Greek text this verse would read; "I am afraid your going to lose your virginity as Eve did, who was wholly seduced by the serpent [Satan]." Paul will say later in this chapter [verse 14], "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed [fashioned himself] into an angel of light." Upon Satan's arrival on earth very shortly, he will appear just as Jesus Himself will appear. The word "transformed" in the Greek manuscripts is, "disguised" as an angel of light.

Do you seriously think all of mankind was doomed because someone ate a piece of fruit!!!

It is amazing that Jude 14 records that ENOCH was the SEVENTH from Adam, which confirms that CAIN was really not the son of Adam, but the SON of the SERPENT. The genealogies of ADAM was on this wise : (1) Adam, (2) Seth, (3)Enos, (4) Cainan, (5) Mahaleel, (6) Jared, (7) Enoch. Notice that Cain was never mentioned in the list of the Bible as a son of Adam; and Abel, of course, was never mentioned because he was murdered by Cain, and did not have any descendant.

"And Adam and Eve heard the

Voice of The Lord and they were

ashamed and covered themselves

with fig leaves."

The shame of Adam and Eve clearly shows a new "knowledge" and awareness of sexuality and their own nakedness. Now let's look at what happened next.

"And the Lord said unto the

woman, "You shall have pain

in childbirth and your desire

shall be towards your husband."

The Punishment upon Eve was pain in childbirth and labor. This seems directly linked to sexual intercourse and pregnancy. Also her "desire" is to bear her husband's children yet have to endure this great suffering to do so. This "curse" provides more proof that "eating the forbidden fruit" does represent SEX.

Notice that Eve did not say the same was concerning Abel who was born at the same time, for he came second.

Cain and Abel were fraternal twins, conceived in close association of time, but from different "sperma" seed donors.

There are many that will disagree with this, but the evidence is in the day that Cain and Abel went before God to worship, for they went up at the same time because they came of age at the same time.Abel was of the seed of Adam whom God had planted in the earth and God had respect unto his offering, but Cain was of the seed of Satan (hybrid) and God had no respect unto him.

Jesus Himself stated that the Pharisees in the time that He walked the earth as the son of man, were the offspring of Cain (the first murder) and that their father (as Cain) was the devil (deceiver) or Satan in John 8:44.

Contend as you will concerning the translations of the Chaldean language in Genesis, but you cannot contend that which the Lord made known Himself.

Many claim that that this is a "Strange" doctrine and should not be listened to even to the point of outright calling me a nut job.

What is strange unto me is that Moses wrote concerning it, the prophets spoke of it, Jesus supported it, and Paul warned of it, but the church will not even consider it. I wish more people had understanding of the fact that God the Father is revealed in the person of Jesus Christ. Far too many Christians still believe that Judaism worships the one true God. They are actually no different than pagans. Only in Christ is the veil taken away from Torah.

“Today, IF you will Hear His voice…” – Psalm 95:7

2011-03-11T12:33:00.003-05:00

I remember when I began to learn that many, if not most, Christians that I met could not confidently say that they heard God speaking to them. My conversion was so very radical and my calling to begin Mercyministries was equally defined in clarity to me. I heard God speak. To this day I believe that He speaks constantly to His children but it seems a very elusive thing to many who believe Him to be their Father. When I think about this it breaks my heart in compassion for those who believe in His theological fatherhood but never sense the experience of His direct fatherly guidance. To conclude that God has a theoretical voice would be the ultimate mockery to my faith. No, friends, God speaks even to this very moment.

He is a Communicator and has never sought to hide Himself in indifference to His repentant seeking child. "Repent then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, and times of refreshing may come from the Lord." Acts 3:19"…unless you repent, you too will all perish." Luke 13:3 "Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him and to our God, for He will freely pardon."Isaiah 55:7 "Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret." 2 Corinthians 7:10 "Because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before the Lord…because you tore your robes and wept in My presence, I have heard you, declares the Lord." 2 Kings 22:19 "So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and He answered our prayer."Ezra 8:23 Life is not a distraction from, life is an occasion for prayer. You don't need a special place or special time to pray. You don't need to be in a special mood to pray. Praying is like breathing, - continuous, essential, life-giving, - praying is the conversation with God you start with birth and continue into old age. Praying is your celebration of God, - everything you do, everything you think, everything you say is another word, another sentence of your prayer.

He speaks truth to you. He’s guiding you into understanding what is true and what is counterfeit. He highlights His own promises through His Word and ordains blessing for your trust in those promises. God speaks warning to you concerning the lies of this generation and He exposes the strategies of Satan so that you will never be among those who fall prey. What exciting times we are living in. Rev. 2 is the stone "cast' (his Truth, His Word, sealed in mind) Look at Jerusalem and all its army meshing into this situation as is written in Luke 21. God through Jeremiah pronounced 70 years captivity upon Jerusalem and "her" people. God ALSO pronounced 7 years upon US (which the wise know was shorten in Revelations to a 5 month period for The Elects Sake ONLY). This is why Christ taught to "forgive" 7 times 70 that is where it comes from! A Perfect example of someone seeing the Truth, Seeing Christ and changing to me is King Nebuchadnezzar because he wrote the entire 4th chapter of Daniel to the whole world "converted" and then "became" a Servant Of God.

God must have people to fulfill the scriptures...EVEN IF HE HAS TO INTERFERE in ones life to CAUSE it to happen.

Many people just can't seem to understand our "work" is to TEACH Prophecy: Meaning Satan as Anti-Christ "looks" to the eye a "man" but isn't "FLESH". He "seduced" Eve "instead" of being "BORN FROM ABOVE" into this "flesh age" thus God sentenced him to death (Ezekiel 28:5) but no-one YET (and not even Satan) has been put to death (hell/lake of fire) until the END of The Millenium (The Lords Day which translates into 1000years or the 7th day). This is THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT and The Second Death (which is the death of the SOUL). Remember during The Millennium we are in "spiritual bodies" YET "some" STILL have "souls" which are MORTAL meaning "liable to die", and "others" have "immortal" SOULS because they overcame in this The FLESH AGE. The mortal souls (liable to STILL die" are one whom Satan will test because he will be "released AGAIN" (from the pit) to test/prove/try the people...and IF they don't overcome during the 1000year "teaching" period THEN they go into the lake of fire ALONG with Satan and the Fallen angels spoken of in Jude which are "NOW" at this moment about to be booted out of Heaven by Michael in order that Heaven is cleansed! Then begins THE STAND (Mark 13, Luke 21, Matt 24)...STAND not "rapture doctrines" as is commonly taught in churches today which inevitable lead people straight to the falsehood of ANTI-Christ "playacting", "imitating" Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christin Jerusalem very soon.

Isaiah 10:13 "for he (Satan) said, by the strength of my hand I have done it, and by me (Satan) wisdom; for I (Satan) am prudent: I have removed the bounds of The People (through The One World Government aka New World Order GLOBALIZATION "system"), and robbed their "treasury" (think of The Federal Reserve system), and I (Satan) have put down (oppressed) the inhabitants LIKE a valiant man. (But hes not valiant because GOD lets him).

Isaiah 10:14 And my (Satan) hand hath found as a nest the riches of The People (through The One World BANKING "system"): and as one gathered eggs that are left, have I (Satan) gathered ALL THE EARTH... (Ezekiel 13 "hunting souls" GATHERED into One Worldism aka New World Order for 5 Months in EFFECT The Captivity of US as taught by Christ HIMSELF)...and NONE "peeped". Wonder Why? Among the DECEIVED they won't PEEP because they "think" it is Christ and that they are doing right!!! But God allows it! At this time all the people will be saying "Praise God, Jesus has returned". This along with SATAN in Jerusalem playacting Christ IS "The Abomination that CAUSES Desolation"as spoken of by Daniel The Prophet. Satan is taking care of the NEGATIVE part of God's "RIGHTEOUS ANGER"....and then this is MY time to "peep"---STAND AGAINST Satan.

If you are of The Elect remember you will only have on an INDIVIDUAL basis a 10day "trial" but the whole CAPTIVITY will be for 5 months.THEN When Revelations 11:8 is READ ALOUD... oh my! Let those in Judea (the county in which Jerusalem is situated) Let them FLEE for Christ will return 3 1/2 days AFTER this "reading aloud" when His Feet (Mark 13) hit the mount of Olives and SPLITS OPEN the mountain and makes a way of escape. Surely embarrassment shall start, but soon after-wards JOY and SINGING of overcoming! For on the 1st Day of The Millenium EVERY KNEE will bow out of UNDERSTANDING...but will it last? No. by The END of The 1000 years, there still shall be those who will whore after Satan...and its so sad. But Fatehr has to give them the "free-will" choice and opportunity to chose to Love Him or The Devil/Satan....just as He allows "free-will" today for Christian to come to the knowledge of Truth and love Him and not worship Satan when he is here ON EARTH for that "hour of temptation"(that hour is a 5 month period) to try the whole world. God interferes in lives to bring forth Truth to those He knows is trying...going to church and "trying" but just aren't being taught THE WHOLE TRUTH.

He speaks love to you. Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

Col 2:3 In whom are hid all... the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.We, so unworthy and pitifully ignorant of His lavish love, are made to be objects of its blazing intensity. He tells you that He chose you before the foundations of this age in Jeremiah chapter 4. He ordained that His own would spend eternity as undeniable recipients of redeeming love. He loved us when all we could say of ourselves was that we were enemies for being born into babel we were such UNTIL He reached down and "resurrected" us raising us from the spiritually dead. He loved us when our sin predominantly characterized us in the dark dungeon of self-will, self-rule, and self-centeredness. He brought us up with a mighty hand and cleansed us to the very core of our souls. He has spoken unconditional love to us during our pilgrimage of faith when we have transgressed against Him more times than we could number backsliding when our own will deceived us. Even to the point of out-right running from Him for the conviction of our sin so ashamed us that we fled from Him. He speaks love when we are predisposed to hear only accusation. He speaks love which is co-mingled with incomprehensible delight. When we are prone to hate our sin so greatly that we end up hating ourselves, He will not allow us to proceed any further without reminding us that we are forbidden to hate what He loves. And He loves you therefore I URGE you to love yourself with a repentant heart and then you can love one another in Truth for both we have had from the beginning. 1 Cor. 13 Paul speaking, "I may be able to speak the languages of human beings and even of angels, but if I have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell. I may have the gift of inspired preaching; I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets; I may have the faith needed to move mountains-but if I have no love, I am nothing. I may give away everything I have, and even give up my body to be burned-but if I have no love, this does me no good.

He speaks hope to you in a world that offers none of its own. Amid sickness and war, economic collapse and relational woes, heresy and blasphemy and sinful scandals…God has declared with authority that we must abide in hope. Our hope is affixed to an eternal throne that cannot be tarnished. Its regality has not faded over the ages and the security of Heaven knows no ebb and flow. His voice is a torrent of assurance and He has ordained an impossibly glorious moment when your faith must become sight and you will be finally and forever delivered from that which causes you to spiritually squint while in this flesh. His victory will never be denied even if it seems to us to be too-long delayed. Yes, brothers and sisters, the overcomers must one day overcome! The victors must soon triumph over it all! The end was ordained from the beginning and we are just a vapor away from its fullness. God says so! Life is like photography...You DEVELOP from the negatives. Have you ever experienced a time when circumstances grew so overwhelming that you were at a complete and utter loss? A time when the pain threatened to suffocate you, and you couldn’t make sense of anything anymore? Did you feel that growing sense of a total inability to cope? Faith is exactly what it takes to get through uncertainty. Faith is not necessary when you know how things are going to work out, - that's knowledge. It's in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees you through to the other side. Faith is what gives you strength. Faith is that light in your heart that keeps on shining even when it's all darkness outside. Now is the time to keep that faith alive! Salvation is merely the MIRACLE of a "dead man" getting "life"...the transformation of The LIFE of God coming INTO our dead bodies and "raising us" and STANDING us on our feet. Salvation is NOT "rehab". Salvation is The GRACE of God and giving us a brand new life...not by anything WE do...but ALL in His Love for us. Take His "gift"....and LIVE "in Him" and Let Him LIVE "in us".

I could prolong my praise today but you have more than enough to ponder. I tell you that He has never ceased to speak. The danger is that we might leave off with the hearing. The psalmist has told us above in 95:7 that God speaks today and adds in verse 8 that we must not harden our hearts. As a child of the covenant, you hear with your heart. As much as it depends on you, keep it clean, fresh and pulsing. Your Bible is alive and calling you closer. You’ve read it scores of times but it has a fresh word for the eager student today. Your pastor and teachers will stand before you today with a word that they themselves have heard from Him. You can listen to the echo of His voice through them and within that echo will be truth, love and hope. Draw near to Him as He may very choose to whisper that particular word you’ve needed so long.

Children of God, believe with all of your might that He is a communicating God who will never fall silent. God is. God hears. God speaks. What word has He reserved for you this day?
