John 14
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Judges 12:6 Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.  

Sometimes its as easy as this to determine who enemies are. Simply by listening to how they speak; word usage, inflection, & intonation. If someone claims to be one of faith yet by their own mouth they betray who they really are in their heart.

Our Savior stated in Luke 6: 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 

The last part of the verse is the key to understand the concept altogether. Our heart is what directs our words. If our hearts are good or evil its expressed by our mouth.

In Israel the test in the verse mentioned was as simple as a Si• or Sh•. Today we could say its as simple as listening to someone to see if the bless or curse. Sometimes its that easy, sometimes not, because everyone stumbles at some point, that stumble may include a curse but that person could just as easily ask for forgiveness without saying a word.

So listen to words but do not be quick to judge, ours is a bit more complicated than the Si• or Sh•.

Genesis 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 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. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. 

On the third day the Father gave us land and the seas, grass and all plants and trees.

So remember on a Tuesday you walk on dry land because the Creator designed it and made it so.

Also, on this day He created coffee from which mankind was blessed with the nectar of the bean.

The morning scents of honeysuckle filling ones kitchen while sitting on a wooden chair crafted from white oak, as your morning begins.

“And He saw that it was good” we read in verse twelve, and it is good.

Thank you Lord for another day, Praise and Bless the name of the Lord.

Exodus 14:3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in. 4 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so. 

All to often political leaders ignore those self-evident truths that GOD places before them. As we read in the verses above, even after all of the plagues in Egypt and the deaths of thousands the political establishment could not reconcile the fact that GOD does requite justice for evil or that they were in fact part of that evil.

As you can read, the military followed the orders of their corrupt leaders even after seeing hundreds of thousands of their fellow citizens and families fall because of the LORDs judgments. We should take this example and make it applicable to the situation today in the west. As the various judgments fall on the nations for their sins the political leaders will harden their hearts and the military will follow orders. Running headlong into their own eventual destruction.

Judgment comes to all nations in GOD’s time, not ours. The US may have been founded on Christian principles, standards, & ethics; but this country has stepped far away from those Old Paths which lead to its greatness.

Now America is one of the leading countries in exporting pornagraphy,  murder, deceit, lies, sodomy, all kinds of vice and evil and most of the corruption around the world has its network of support based and/or origin in the US. 

Morality is denigrated and thrown aside, the name of Christ and the Father are disdained when mentioned. Thousands of Christians are being killed and enslaved around the world because of corrupted leadership and business interests. 

Families are being destroyed and the righteous are being pushed to the periphery of society and marginslized as extremists. Righteousness is being trodden under the feet of an apathetic populace, the same apathy that led to those citizens of Egypt following their political leaders to their own destruction.

So what can we expect? Turning verse four abit, we could read it like this:

And I will harden President’s heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon the President, and upon all his host; that the Americans may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.

So a lesson learned? Perhaps by some but not by most. Never trust wicked political leaders, it will eventually lead to a nations destruction.

The end.

I wonder sometimes how those calling themselves Christian can so easily dismiss Scriptural truths but I guess it’s symptomatic of the fact that sin has entered the Churches and people have again become “dull of hearing” and simply ignore the truth of sin, of righteousness, and judgment.

Judgment begins in the house & family of GOD. We are suppose to be that light shining in the darkness of sin, but we are extinguishing those lights one after another letting sin and wickedness grow.

So to Christians, repent of our apathy and humble ourselves before a Living Savior.

John 16:4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. 

Our Savior told the Apostles certain things concerning His ministry when He had dtermined the time was right. Our desire to know what the Lord has planned for our lives means very little to that Divine timeline which exists with the Creator Himself.

We may plan and plot a course of action, even asking for divine guidance in our endeavors, but unless GOD wills it, those actions generally end in failure.

We need to read Scripture, earnestly pray in faith, and consider every option when considering what we think the Lord wants us to do so we do not end our attempt in futility.

The Lord will reveal to us what is needed at the proper moment & not before.

GOD Bless.

Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 

Loves work for believers includes loving our enemies as the Savior stated on the Sermon of the Mount.

This may seem foolish in todays world of perpetual violence and death but regardless, as Christians we are told this is one of the ways the world will know who we are.

Love requires more than feelings, love is manifested in how we treat others.

So do good and remember the above quoted verses. Praise our Savior, Jesus the Christ.

Matthew 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 

When you consider the role and importance of stepfathers, remember Joseph. His stepson was the Son of GOD, the Creator knew Joseph would be a worthy steward and father to HIS Son.

Being a stepfather is as important as being the childs actual father.

So if you feel like you’re spinning your wheels trying to raise a stepchild, remember, whatever you do directs that child in their adult life.

John 1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

These words were recorded for posterity by the Apostle John. The only one of twelve to die a natural death.

The Word or Logos was with GOD in the beginning and is also GOD, the second part of the triune GOD.

In these first few verses we can find the eternal divinity of the Son or Word.
The Word was both with and is GOD and by Him all things were created. All things were made by and for Him, by Him all things continue to exist.
This entire universe exists because the Creator wills it to exist, yet the conscience of the living exists both in His will yet free to decide its own destiny either in obedience and love or disobedience and sin.

In the Word was life, in Him is found true love. That love & life was our example of who the Father is.
In His life we see the love of the Father toward humanity. In Him we see and find forgiveness and reconciliation.
Jesus willing gave His life as the final sacrifice for sin, Himself being the unblemished lamb of God.

What Christ Jesus came to earth to achieve can be seen by the world, as the only light in a world of complete darkness.
Yet mankind continually turns back into the darkness, turning their back to that one holy light.

Now as then, this old world is blind to who He was, but at times it is a willful blindness. People chose to remain in sin and still choose wickedness rather than righteousness.
They could not comprehend what they were not taught. Those entrusted with the knowledge of the coming light failed in their duties to teach the peoples properly.
Instead, being content in their own part and parcel those false teachers turned away from the people and tried facing the light, but only enough to get a glimpse and hating that which they saw.
They made themselves out to be the doorway to that light but turned away all that came willingly to find it.

So to help all of those who wanted to come to the light, He came. He came to give them life and light, the ability to live and to see.
He came to love, to comfort, to guide and to teach. He came to restore that which was lost, that being fellowship with the Father.

While we slumber as if in a drug induced stupor, the world careens toward a global conflict that threatens to engulf the world.

While the US administration seems adamant on keeping the unthinking masses focused on ascinine issues such as who uses what restroom, or vacations, or on the elections; countries are positioning their military assets in preparation for the coming conflict.

Economic collapse & WW3

South China Sea & WW3

WW3 by May 2017

Could this trigger WW3?

All across the spectrum there is story after story of countries prepping for war. From Asia across the Middle East to Europe. Both North & South America are also included.

The Liar and Chief of the US recently that we are living in one of the most peaceful times in history. Again lying to the people to keep their minds in a complete stupor.

There may be blurbs about nations moving assets but nothing on the level it should be. Instead its gender identy… complete stupidity on the part of the media and our leaders.
Europes invasion by Muslims is only one aspect on an ongoing campaign of destabilisation of independent states.
The global oligarchs seem intent on creating as much chaos as they can, whether utilizing Islamic extremists or pushing the limits with military intrigue those in power are hellbent on war.

The obvious question is why?

The old saying ” follow the money honey ” is very applicable to this situation if it is examined with an open and inquiring mind.
From the collapse of ’01 & ’08 until today the world has been in the longest recession/depression in recent history.
All economic data being fed to the public is so medicated you would think the reports come out of big pharma instead of economic think tanks.
From unemployment to goods & services, commodities to trade, over 90% of the data is corrupted and convoluted to maintain the appearance of normalcy.
With the artificial bubbles created by Central Bankers nearing their limits and populations across the world growing weary of their antics and/or outright corruption the Planners and their sycophants in goverments need something extreme to draw the attention away from them and war is their greatest asset.

So as the world careens toward conflict those in power continue to plan and scheme while the people slumber.

Noticing the rise of the presumptive Republicrat nominee I understand that “there is a vibration through the ether which is spiritually harmonizing with the central thoughts of the collective emotional” ………… yeah…….. ok, so much for the New Age interpretation of whats going on, lets look at facts and Scripture shall we.

The rise of the Donald isn’t some mystical ascension of some collective anger from the population of America, nor is it some massive retaliation of the citizens against the fascist state as it exists with the United States as wonderfully described by John Whitehead which can be read here, Fascism American Style.

The rise of the Donald is the result of a nation that is in a complete spiral downward into sin and judgment. One article notes twenty five signs, most are non-religious in nature, 25 signs. Another prominent evangelical leader, Franklin Graham writes a similar warning in 2013, it can be found here, warns wicked america. Also the daughter of Billy Graham wrote an article concerning the United States entering its final stages before judgment, that article can be found here, Judgment for Wickedness. Anne also wrote a very good article about America needing to repent for its sin, it can be found here, Time to get serious.

There are hundreds of people calling this nation to repentance, stating the obvious, that sin and wickedness is prevailing in our society which claims to be Christian but as a whole it generally rejects the precepts of the Christian faith, those being ” love the LORD your GOD, and love your neighbor as yourself “.

The reason I state that the rise of the Donald is due to America’s wickedness is because the Donald is the proverbial political rights antithesis to Obama. Diametrically opposed in almost every political category or opinion. Whereas the Obama administration is very socialist in nature the Donald is nationalistic in nature; which although that in and of itself is not a sin nor wrong, his views will take the pendulum from the far left back to the far right.

How do I know this, well its pretty apparent if someone dissects some of his statements. His opinion concerning what is commonly understood to be torture for one should be the primary red flag for Christians in this nation. His views of ” enhanced interrogation ” can be read at these links to stories:

Enhanced Interrogation – CNN

Torture Works

Americans Agree with the Donald

Although I do not agree with 90% of the stories the Liberal Mainstream Media puts out for public consumption these are a few of hundreds of stories which can be referenced for those who can read more than 144 characters.

The fact that enhanced interrogation does not work seems to be missed and ignored by those within the halls of government and the mainstream media. Here are several stories which SHOULD be referenced to prove this point, each story has credible verifiable links which can SHOULD be read for those who again, can read more than 144 characters.

Almost Two Thirds of Americans Don’t Know that Torture Makes Us LESS SAFE

Even CIA Admits Torture Doesn’t Work

59% Of Americans Support Post-9/11 Torture – Propaganda, Cultural Sickness, Or Both?

Torture: An Executive Summary

Trump Calls For Waterboarding And “A Lot More,” Clinton Says Torture “Not Effective”

Although Hillary would be a horrible candidate for the executive position at least the old crone is stating the obvious, that torture doesn’t work, although history has proven that Obama and the demonrats are using it just as effectively as the republicrats are.

When the majority of people in this nation believe that torture or enhanced interrogation is an acceptable method of justice to be used by those in authority then we should know that the pendulum has swung back to the far right, beyond the norm.

Who do you think enhanced interrogation is reserved for? Strictly for use against so-called terrorists? Well here is what Americans and Christians in particular should read concerning who is considered as potential domestic terrorists, reports and stories taken from the governments own publications.

And yes, this is your responsibility to research as well as mine, if you are to lazy and apathetic to do the research yourself then this article is a waste of your time so please move along because it isn’t meant for your.

As you can plainly see the government under both the Bush and Obama administrations have used and expanded their mythical war on terrorism as an excuse to bring down the heavy hand of the police state upon the American people. Whether left or right it’s totally irrelevant, what matters is that the government is preparing to come down hard on the citizens of this nation; and when the majority of people think torture is acceptable to use against suspected terrorists its not much of a stretch to say that those on the list above are going to be targeted.

So again, the reason for the rise of the Donald isn’t because he is an outsider, nor due to Americans anger at the establishment, it is because of Americans acceptance of sin and the Christian communities docile method of confronting the wickedness of this nation.

When I hear Christians leaders calling for prayer for this nation the only scriptures which come to my mind are these, Jeremiah 7:16 Therefore pray not you for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear you. Jeremiah 14:11 Therefore do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer on their behalf, for I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their trouble. Yes I understand where it mentions in the Scriptures about “standing in the gap” and “if my people will humble themselves” but there is a limit to the patience of the Father, and when that limit is reached there is no hope for repentance, whether personal or national.

So please, do your own research, pray faithfully, and search the scriptures with a humble heart asking the Lord for direction and for an answer.

Good day.

It has been seven or so months since my last post of news from abroad. I have been taking a hiatus from several things during this time because of both spiritual and physical needs and events.

Some of which are taken care of, some are not, some are still a work in progress but I will attempt to stay on top of this blog as the Lord and time allows.

Several events have occurred in the absence of posting here, one of which is the ascension of the Donald as the presumptive nominee of the republicrat party. I have been watching this ascension for sometime and will comment on it in another post, but suffice to say, myself, I am not impressed with any candidate running in this election cycle, the only true Constitutionalist running was Senator Rand Paul. He dropped out early because he could not hold the attention of the anesthetized American public. But that is a story for another post.

Thank you and stay tuned.

Barack Obama is a “mystery,” the evangelist tells Todd Starnes. “I don’t understand the president,” he continues. “Christians were martyred [in Oregon] …. We’re seeing it not only in the Middle East but we’re beginning to see it in the United States – and the president is silent.”

The complete story can be read here.

 Persecution Watchdog Group Warns

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter

September 16, 2015|8:08 am

Christians attend Sunday service in the Virgin Mary Church at Samalout Diocese in Al-Our village, in Minya governorate, south of Cairo, May 3, 2015. Copts have long complained of discrimination under successive Egyptian leaders and Sisi’s actions suggested he would deliver on promises of being an inclusive president who could unite the country after years of political turmoil. However, striking out at extremists abroad might prove easier than reining in radicals at home. Orthodox Copts, the Middle East’s biggest Christian community, are a test of Sisi’s commitment to tolerance, a theme he often stresses in calling for an ideological assault on Islamist militants threatening Egypt’s security.

A persecution watchdog group is warning believers that statistics suggest a Christian is martyred for their faith every five minutes somewhere around the world.

As part of this year’s International Day of Prayer, which falls on Nov. 8, Christian Freedom International is encouraging all Christian churches to join them in praying for the safety of those who are being persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ.

“I encourage you to pray for Persecuted Believers,” CFI president Jim Jacobson said in a statement shared with The Christian Post on Tuesday.

“They are your Christian family throughout the world. Pray for their safety; that they would be emboldened to continue sharing the Gospel even in the face of persecution; that their persecutors would also come to know Christ as they observe the courageous witness of these believers.”

CFI is preparing for the prayer event by offering a free resource kit for churches, which includes posters and bulletin inserts, Sunday school curriculum suggestions, Bible verses speaking about persecution, and other materials.

A number of persecution watchdog groups and activists have used the estimate that a Christian is martyred for their faith every five minutes, including sociologist Massimo Introvigne of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

Introvigne said back in June 2011 that every year at least 105,000 people are killed simply because of their faith as Christians — though that number is likely to have grown in the past year with the rise of the Islamic State terror group.

“If these numbers are not cried out to the world, if this slaughter is not stopped, if it is not acknowledged that the persecution of Christians is the first worldwide emergency in the matter of violence and religious discrimination, the dialogue between religions will only produce beautiful conferences but no concrete results,” he said in 2011 at a conference on Christian-Jewish-Muslim interfaith dialogue, according to Zenit.org.

Similar statistics from Caritas Italiana, a charity helping persecuted Christians throughout the world, notes that there are as many as 100 million followers of Christ, along with other religious minorities, who are being targeted for their beliefs.

Beside the widespread persecution throughout the Middle East and Africa, somewhere between 50,000 and 70,000 Christians are also being held in detention camps in North Korea, where Christianity is illegal, the charity said.

Persecution watchdog group Open Doors CEO and President David Curry told CP back in October 2014 that it is important for Christians to prepare for and get together on the annual International Day of Prayer.

“I think it’s important considering all that has happened in the last year, from Iraq to Syria, to the issues of persecution in North Korea; that we have a time here in America to come together and pray as one body of believers for the people who are part of our family, who are persecuted.”
