Number 1?
Hope you all had a blessed weekend.
Thanks Mr. Hyde
Jim G, Thanks for the research, that's some good information.
WOW,
Great posting subject. Ps. 46 is just the right one for the whole earth.
Everyone have a great day because God made just for us.
Grany
Good Morning Everyone!
This is the day the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
have yet to read last comments other page but did remember 2 more things.
Lisa
about that whole drinking wine question. Frucht made the observation that when people are feeling convicted about the conversation one is having with them about sin and salvation they frequently will ask a red herring theological question. e.g. he says he gets all the time when the message is hitting home a little much-"who is Cain's wife". The Saudi you were talking to that asked about the wine might not have actually been so interested in your response to his question as he was under conviction about what you were telling him. Frucht brought this up in relation to the woman at the well in Samaria-she didn't like what Christ was telling her so she tried to distract him with a theological debate about the appropriate place to worship.
the other thing I remembered was about reaching the point of no return but will continue that
so the point of no return. Frucht notes that Christ spent the first half of his ministry doing miracles widely and teaching clearly to present himself as and to convince the nation of Israel of the fact that he is Messiah. There comes a point however when the national leaders tell the people that the reason Christ can do these things is that he is indwellt by Satan and that is how Christ is able to perform these miracles, especially the special miracles that only Messiah could perform. They rejected him as Messiah on the basis of demon possession and thus they reached the point of no return and judgment was pronounced (the fall of Jerusalem and the diaspora). Frucht states that this is what the unpardonable sin is-the national rejection of Christ while he was present on the earth. I don't have time or space to discuss this more fully but suffice it to say that Frucht makes the point that this is the third time in the national history of the Jews when they have nationally rejected God and national punishment comes upon them. The punishment is set and happens even though in the first 2 cases that Frucht mentions there was national repentance. They had reached the point of no return and no amount of repentence was going to stave off they punishment that was coming. Remember God used the Jewish people to punish other nations when their sins reached a certain point-most likely a point of no return. Sobering thought you know. Has the US reached it's point of no return in which no amount of repentance will change God's mind. Frucht notes that while individuals can repent and in the case of 70 ad those Jews who accepted Christ as Messiah were spared psychical death, the nation was not spared.
make that physical-even used spell check
Jeri
nice "seeing you"
as to the other topic about demons. They frequently did acknowledge while Christ was on earth that he was God in flesh so I find that doubtful. i was always taught that they can not say Christ is Lord. They rebelled against his Lordship originally so I find it unlikely that they would be able to say such as statement.
Donna
there is a scripture reference for my above comment but can't remember what it is and right now don't have time to look. I think it has to do with the passage about testing the spririts
ha easier than I thought and it is Christ is come in flesh
1 John 4:2-3
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Jib, Thanks for that scripture- that's a good point.
And- also on "national repentance". If His judgment was coming down God would spare those in communion w/Him from His wrath. I would imagine though that although their physical lives were spared that it was still a very difficult thing to go through.
Jeri, That's a good point too- the demons did know it- but did they allude to it or confess it in relation to 1 John 4?
This is real interesting to me- I'll keep digging around.

FOX frames Alex Jones as instigator of 'violent' web comments Christine sent this out today.
Lisa, the NAB notes for verse 3 in 1 John 4:2-3, some ancient manuscripts add "Christ" and/or "to have come in the flesh" (cf 1 John 4:2), and others read "every spirit that annuls (or severs) Jesus."
In Matthew 8:28-29, when Jesus meets the two possessed people and drives the demons into a herd of pigs, the demons address Jesus not by name but by title: Son of God. In exorcisms, one way to complete the exorcism is to force the demon to utter the name of Jesus, as in saying "Jesus is Lord", NOT the title (i.e. saying "The Son of God is Lord" is ineffectual.) Since the demon can't do this, and since the demon's hold has been weakened through the exorcism, the demon is forced to leave.
Taken together, Catholics tend to believe that this means demons can acknowledge the presence of Jesus but cannot say His name, praise His name, or bless people with His name.
Here is an idea that we hope that you will consider. According to Voice of the Martyrs magazine, Christians and Jews are being persecuted in the following countries listed below. Wouldn't it be wonderful if each Christian took one country and when you pray each day, lift the Jews and Christians in that country you choose before the throne. Just think when all knowledge is abounding that someone can walk up to you in heaven or the New Jerusalem and thank you for your prayers.
If you (&/or) you &/or your family will choose one of the countries below, I will be glad to send you information on that country and the persecution, etc. to keep in your Bible or daily devotion. What a wonderful time to teach young children how to make a difference. Just include your name beside the name you choose below along with a regular mail address when you email me back. aklavik2@hotmail.com
When I first looked at the list, it was overwhelming as I read about each. But each of us taking one country and including it during our prayer time, we will be lifting all of them to the throne. Prayer changes things and we can make a difference as the Christian community. Think about it, let me know and feel free to send to your Christian friends, have them email me with the above subject. We can certainly find 54 Christians.
In Christ, Sharon You are all on our prayer list, too.

Lori,
I will take Columbia.
Grace (Annette)
Hey Lori,
I'll take Pakistan, personal connection.
So, I'm reading a great book... most of you old timers have probably already discovered it.
"War on the Saints", by Jesse Penn Lewis. It should be required reading in all churches.
I'm about 3/4 done now, and it occurs to me of the many ways Christians can discern whether something is from God or the other side is God's omnipresence. The Holy Spirit can act on each of us individually and as a whole because He is everywhere. The evil side has to pick us off one at a time.
Today I hiked in the hills overlooking Garden of the Gods park and just thought, actually I talked to God out loud but I walk fast so no one thought I was nuts, if this is His creation after the Fall, how amazing is it going to be after He remakes it!!
Live victoriously my friends, the battle's been won and we are going home soon!
In His Grip,
Scott
Good points, Scott...and I hope you are right and that we will be going home soon!!
No more crying, pain, sickness, or death...sounds good to me!
I'm probably asking for it now but I just can't help myself.
I found a rack of Christian shirts & bought two.
Here is SHIRT #1
and Shirt #2 (You'll have to enlarge the picture to read it.)
Lisa, I love that first one! I just went on a giant internet window-shopping spree for t-shirts, because all the ones I have now are getting ready for the rag bin. I'll post some of the URLs tomorrow of the ones I'm planning on getting. (I'm still up in the air about the one that says, "JESUS SAVES! ... He passes to Moses ... HE SCORES!"
<><
Lisa
love the t shirt and how true.
regarding whether God will remove the faithful before judgment-national or global? on a global scale to this point yes I think we can say on the basis of Noah that is true-the righteous were not judged with the unrighteous. As to national or less it's a mixed bag. Lot was spared from the judgment but Daniel and his 3 friends who were obviously righteous Jews (and continued to be so after they were likely made eunuchs and therefore ineligible to worship in the Temple area should they have been allowed to return at that time) were not. The early Christians were spared with their physical lives when fleeing Jerusalem but I suspect many of them lost everything but their lives.
I was reading a newsletter from Lamb & Lion Ministries- and it focused on the stressed relations between Israel & the U.S.
The opinion was that the U.S. will be judged nationally for it's behavior but pray that God's wrath on this nation will be held back at least until the Rapture.
(I thought- that's a good point to pray for!)
Hi Lori,
I will pray for Nigeria and Sudan and a blanket pray for all persicuted Christians!
Yours in Christ

Please tell your friends from all over the world, I know that God will bless the folks in their prayer country (s) & they will be blessed as well.

Lori, I'll pray for Syria. I've seen some GMO decisions for Christ there so that's a country which is already in my mind. (A little worried for them actually.)
Cool, sign me up for Chiapas, Mexico, Lori!
LISA,
Liked the t-shirts you linked to.
But on the other side of praying that the rapture happens first before the judgment, I don't think so. Now, I know your questioning mind will immediately ask, why!? Because the church can be and should be held accountable for the whole mess in the first place. Oh, I know that has to be like pouring vinegar into a wound but consider the following:
Didn't Jesus tell us to occupy and fight the good fight of faith until he returned? Didn't he also give the type of battle we were to wage? Did he not also send the promised Holy Spirit who would be our enabler? Our Counsellor, our Guide? Did he not tell us to pray, asking in His name and because he was going to be at the right hand side of our Heavenly Father ever interceding for us and being our advocate? Did Paul tell us about the armor that we were supposed to put on daily? and now the big question, if we had done all of these things in the Name of Jesus Christ and lived our lives according to God's word, do you think we would be in the mess we are in now? The battle seemed to be waged against other denominations instead of the ruler of this world. Jesus has already won the battle over sin, death and the grave.
I don't believe we will get out of here on the argument that we are not children of the wrath of God. We are promised not to be in that wrath but we are going to be cleansed, set aside and we will learn to bow our knees and our hearts to Abba before we all load up for the Taking Away event. My generation allowed the likes of Madilyn Murray O'Hara to push her agenda through. We sat out that battle and many other strategies to silence the Christians.
I so truly feel that we will be "without spot or blemish" that the world will seek out the true Believers during all of the judgment and souls will be saved. We might not be in church buildings any longer but we will be the lights in the world of darkness. We will all learn to be humble in all of our ways.
I always hope for the best scenario and plan for the worst possible. Even in our planning we cannot know what is right before our eyes unless the Holy Spirit reveals it to us. God's Spirit will always move upon your heart, mind, soul and lead you into righteousness. When you find out you have stepped in the do do, pull your foot back, repent and ask for Him to guide you in all of your ways.

Agreed on that one. As Satan is allowed more earthy access God will raise up the standard with and in His remnant.
As Russ Dizdar pointed out in a pod cast I was listening to & still holds true today. The work is great & the laborers are few. Who is really willing to crucify their lives & self will for Christ in obedience & love of righteousness?
The answer- not many. We get trapped in this flesh & the cares of the world. The god of this world uses this weakness to blind us so that we remain in bondage to our flesh. Therefore- we are rendered to little or no effect as being the hands & feet of Christ for His Kingdom.
Who do you think is the main demonic spirit ruling over the U.S.? The spirit of distraction? Some say the spirit of mammon/$$ but isn't that something used as a distraction? Entertainment- distraction.
Revelation 1:3 "Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it: for the time is near."
Only the faithful Church in Rev 3 has this promise : "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth."
Of this group they:
had little strength
kept My word
not denied My name
persevered & overcame
Specifically He tells them "Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown".
So no matter what happens in the future the "church in Philadelphia" is a good model to always keep in mind. Obviously persevering & overcoming not of our own flesh but because of living victoriously in Christ Jesus.
The pod cast I was listening to is good- Session 4 The Authority of Christ Russ has a good point that as things become apparently more blatantly Satanic we as Christians need to realize the authority we have in Christ & live this out in faith.
Most of the Churches surrounding Russ Dizdar send their deliverance cases to him because the Pastors don't want to touch this spiritual issue. Now how lame is that?
Have we all turned into a bunch of weenies or what!
yes LISA, and the church is beginning to look like a hotdog stand. How do you want your Hot dog: mustard, relish, no onions and chili. Now compare this with it: Where do you go to church? Such and Such. What do they believe: whatever you want. Does your church have coffee and rolls before services?: Oh yes! We have a special little room where we can all gather and get awake before services start.
Mustard, onions, relish, ketchup and chili.
Whatever happened to just getting up, do your breakfast thing at home, go to church passionately seeking God's Word and growing in your faith? But desiring the meat of the word and quit sucking on that baby bottle.
My guess on the deceptive spirit even above entertainment is rebellion.
Grany
I love you Grany! How true that is!
If all I did was go to Church once a week & then so some socializing I'd still be sucking on the baby bottle too!
I may have graduated to a sippy cup by now though!
I was looking into this matter a little more- check this one out:
The Cathedral of All Souls, Biltmore Village Main Website
Asheville Mother Grove Goddess Temple to celebrate spring equinoxMembers of Mother Grove Goddess Temple will celebrate at 7 p.m. Saturday with A Breath of Appalachian Spring: A Ritual in Celebration of the Spring Equinox, in the parish hall of the Episcopal Cathedral of All Souls in Biltmore Village...
Those were really gagging bad. But you know what they are selling besides a place to gather, one religion especially on the 2nd one.
I love you too Lisa and one day soon we will all be together praising and worshiping the Lord, won't that be great! Besides being able to worship in Spirit,truth and all in one accord.
I don't want any rocks praising Him in my place. No sir! What a joyful time that will be.
Our day was spent transferring everything out of our old frig into its replacement and funny thing about it all, I like our new one so much better than the side by side. This is the old fashion with the freezer on top, frig on the bottom. I prayed about getting a good one with a minimum amount of money and big enough. Lowe's had some extra on stock but they were all solid white. It works and looks great and we were able to get it for less than 800 dollars. They even delivered it free of charge, set it all up, took away the old one and helped us get things going again. Great people at Lowe's.
God did really good and I cannot praise him enough.
Gotta get my shower taken and ready for bed. I am really tired tonight. Busy day!
Grany
Grany and Lisa, I know exactly what you're talking about. We call them "Cafeteria Catholics" -- people like Nancy Pelosi who believe they can just pick and choose what doctrines to follow and still believe themselves to be Catholics in good standing. There's beginning to be strong pressure on the bishops in charge to start taking action against these politicians who say that "Yes, you can be pro-abortion and still be a good Catholic!"
That Episcopal church is strange. I had hopes when I saw how frequently they did Eucharist, but when I saw they were renting the church hall for use by a pagan group I thought, they have a serious identity crisis coming.

Lisa, here are some of my shirt selections -- haven't made a decision yet...

helllllooooooo........
Alesia has gone beddy-bye (sp?). Mac lulled her into a deep sleep during one of his scintillating conversations. Crazy time at case Uni (budgets etc).
I've been chasing my own tail as well.
Here's another T-shirt that I think a few here will appreciate;-)
Once we had Ronald Reagan…
Of course, we really do have more real hope than most.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

3Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
Ephesians 4:3-5
32 verses in Psalms that speak of “hope”
Jim C., Those are great shirts. I found one for Lori too! Look HERE
Jim G, Where did you find that one? My D.H. would just love wearing it!
I figure our window of opportunity for wearing such things is closing so might as well wear them while you still can.
Now I really want to go to one of those amusement parks & counter balance the plethora of satanic shirts I've had to observe in public.
The pagans sure have the guts to wear theirs don't they?
Obama’s Healthcare Microchip: The “Mark?”
LOL I would definitely wear that T-shirt! I also like the Reagan shirt... although that manatee one is a scream... Wow, some folks have all the imagination.
Lori, sign me up for Uzbekistan. My little girl witnessed to a friend of hers who was from Uzbekistan. This was a few years ago when they were in 3rd grade and we lived outside D.C. This little girl did not want to hear though and asked Victoria not to speak of it again. Victoria was confused. The girl was going to go back to her home country with her family sometime, probably there now.
My daughter has witnessed to her athiest cousin when they were in pre-school too. Her heart is so tender, she was distraut that her cousin did not beleive. She seems to be given the tough cases! But, I have always seen God's hand on her in this area of witnessing.
Oh, loved that Reagan shirt! (can't recall who shared it)
My D.H. has finally come around to accepting that we are in the final days. He can see it much more clearly now and feels we need to be ready. My siblings have not though, but they are Christians. Things just seem to be moving at a much faster speed now than before. I have been trying to impress this more on my teenage daughters but they have teenage minds and alot of friends to hang with in our small town. They do not have much of a mind for spiritual things unless I force it, praying God will mature them. My little boys are so tender, they will gladly hear about the Lord anytime!
Grany, you said:
"I don't believe we will get out of here on the argument that we are not children of the wrath of God. We are promised not to be in that wrath but we are going to be cleansed, set aside and we will learn to bow our knees and our hearts to Abba before we all load up for the Taking Away event. My generation allowed the likes of Madilyn Murray O'Hara to push her agenda through. We sat out that battle and many other strategies to silence the Christians." I Had not thought about us being cleansed and set aside like that before. I have never believed that the church would be taken up to be with the Lord in the condition that it si in, you words have made me think more about it, thanks.

My oldest daughter just sent me her suggestions for my t-shirt collection. I don't know if I should be very worried or very amused. Probably both.

JIM G.
Exactly, my friend! All of our battles are spiritual in this world but the enemy will use others to bring it on. You know one of the hardest things to do is keeping silent. But it is in keeping silent that we can discern the true authorship of the attack.
Whenever the noisy confrontation begins I always get reminded of Elijah running from Jez. Here this great prophet had brought down the fire from heaven onto the soaked wood, showing God reigns and then he slaughtered the prophets of Baal just to be scared out of his wits and running away from lil Jez. He got confused, listened to the noisy pestilence and ran away to hide.
But in his hiding place he learned a big lesson and one that we can gain from. After all of the powerful manifestations that he witnessed while in that cave he learned that God was not in any of them. But HE was in that still, small voice and from then on Elijah learned to listen for the small voice.
His whole course as God's prophet had reached a point of no return also. Not long after that he came upon Elisha and so began the training and preparing of the next great prophet.
The storms will probably increase in strength and in number. The earthquakes will rumble and roar where ever God determines (yes, I truly believe they will be one of the instruments of judgment)and all manner of signs will follow. The fear and anger that the unsaved will experience will turn them either to or away from God. Those that are turned away from God will despise all Believers with a rage and hatred unknown before. But we have to keep our eyes, hearts and mind turned to those who come seeking God. The rest have already chosen their path.
We don't stop trying and sharing the gospel with anyone but when God tells you to move on, then you have to shake the dust off of your feet and move ahead. It might be one of your best friends or a loved member of your household but you have to learn to really hear and know the difference.
I am very much aware that some Believers do not believe we can hear God speaking to us but I have news for all of them. Most definitely we do hear Him speaking. The Holy Spirit is most generally the one but also there are times when it is an angel sent to protect us or inform us. You don't go seeking angels and I cannot express that strong enough. But the main thing is to believe that your heavenly Father (Abba) desires to fellowship with you all. Go back and read Genesis 2:4 thru 25.
If you were taught that people who think they are hearing God speak to them are deluded and suffer from a certain mental illness, forget it! True there are some people who are definitely very ill mentally that think they are hearing voices and true some of them have said it was God but my dear friends, any thing that speaks to you contrary to God's Word is not of God.
If you will spend time reading the Old Testament and then the New Testament you will quickly see that these people were being talked to by Yahweh and because of it they were able to overcome greatly. It started with Adam and it won't be finished until Jesus plants his feet on Mt. Olives.
Oh, by the way, some people refer to being "lead in" this or that and made their decision accordingly. That is just another way of saying "God/Holy Spirit spoke to me saying---". Or someone driving down a busy highway suddenly decide to take a side trip or get in another lane and by doing so avoid a terrible accident that would have involved them. Some people couldn't get to work on Sept. 11, 2001 because God was protecting them with everything possible. True some Christians did die in the attacks but how many unsaved did they reach before their deaths?
Don't be so quick to tie tags on everything you perceive to be outside of God's box. He isn't in a box, He created the entire creation and there isn't a box big enough to contain HIM.
Woo-hoo Grany!

If you knew all, How would you know that I will answer your questions?
If you never were in trouble, How would you know that I will come to
your rescue?

If you never had a problem, How would you know that I can solve them?
If you never had any suffering, Then how would you know what I went

If I gave you all things, How would you appreciate them?
If I never corrected you, How would you know that I love you?
If you had all power, Then how would you learn to depend on me?
If your life was perfect, Then what would you need me for?

To "chip" or not to "chip" - that is the question.
So what do you think? You guys getting chipped? I can't even believe this - it's the bible prophecy Twilight Zone & we're living in it!
ugh, I vote NO chip
No chip! I will depend completely on my Savior's stripes but then, I already do. Don't forget that little by little we give up on the things we believe in and the promises that God has made to us become a fantasy to the movers and shakers of the world.
NO CHIPS except Potato chips.

Gotta post this one from Chas. Spurgeon:
Feeding Sheep or Amusing Goats?
By Charles Haddon Spurgeon
An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, so gross in its impudence, that the most shortsighted can hardly fail to notice it during the past few years. It has developed at an abnormal rate, even for evil. It has worked like leaven until the whole lump ferments. The devil has seldom done a cleverer thing than hinting to the church that part of their mission is to provide entertainment for the people, with a view to winning them.
From speaking out as the Puritans did, the church has gradually toned down her testimony, then winked at and excused the frivolities of the day. Then she tolerated them in her borders. Now she has adopted them under the plea of reaching the masses.
My first contention is that providing amusement for the people is nowhere spoken of in the Scriptures as a function of the church. If it is a Christian work, why did not Christ speak of it? "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (). That is clear enough So it would have been if He had added, "and provide amusement for those who do not relish the gospel." No such words, however, are to be found. It did not seem to occur to him.
Then again, "He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers .., for the work of the ministry" (). Where do entertainers come in? The Holy Spirit is silent concerning them. Were the prophets persecuted because they amused the people or because they refused? The concert has no martyr roll.
Again, providing amusement is in direct antagonism to the teaching and life of Christ and all his apostles. What was the attitude of the church to the world? Ye are the salt" (), not the sugar candy---something the world will spit out not swallow. Short and sharp was the utterance, "Let the dead bury their dead" () He was in awful earnestness.
Had Christ introduced more of the bright and pleasant elements into his mission, he would have been more popular when they went back, because of the searching nature of His teaching. I do not hear him say, "Run after these people Peter and tell them we will have a different style of service tomorrow, something short and attractive with little preaching. We will have a pleasant evening for the people. Tell them they will be sure to enjoy it. Be quick Peter, we must get the people somehow." Jesus pitied sinners, sighed and wept over them, but never sought to amuse them.
In vain will the Epistles be searched to find any trace of this gospel of amusement! Their message is, "Come out, keep out, keep clean out!" Anything approaching fooling is conspicuous by its absence. They had boundless confidence in the gospel and employed no other weapon.
After Peter and John were locked up for preaching, the church had a prayer meeting but they did not pray, "Lord grant unto thy servants that by a wise and discriminating use of innocent recreation we may show these people how happy we are." If they ceased not from preaching Christ, they had not time for arranging entertainments. Scattered by persecution, they went everywhere preaching the gospel. They turned the world upside down (). That is the only difference! Lord, clear the church of all the rot and rubbish the devil has imposed on her, and bring us back to apostolic methods.
2nd part continued:
Lastly, the mission of amusement fails to effect the end desired. It works havoc among young converts. Let the careless and scoffers, who thank God because the church met them halfway, speak and testify. Let the heavy laden who found peace through the concert not keep silent! Let the drunkard to whom the dramatic entertainment has been God's link in the chain of the conversion, stand up! There are none to answer. The mission of amusement produces no converts. The need of the hour for today's ministry is believing scholarship joined with earnest spirituality, the one springing from the other as fruit from the root. The need is biblical doctrine, so understood and felt, that it sets men on fire."

To "chip" or not to "chip" - that is the question.
My answer- Nope!!!
Does that mean that anyone that is not "chipped" will be denied access to any health care?? Shades of Nazi Germany??
Maranatha!
Perry Stone's web site www.voe.org has THIS ARTICLE ON THE CHIP and I found it pretty interesting. Perry is of the opinion that it is coming and all it will take is for everybody to do nothing. We have time before the November elections to do something lasting.
Now I don't pay all that much attention to the Rapture Ready Index and have not visited the site in a while...however I did just take a peak over there...and their # is up to 173! That's the highest it has ever been.
I feel as if I am living in the days of Noah...when he was expecting the flood and everyone around him thought he was crazy.
There seem to be more and more things moving in line with scripture.
The headlines lately about Jerusalem have been amazing!
'Jerusalem will become a burdonsome stone'.
It seems to me that this chipping idea is a run up to some real hidden agenda. First, they see how open the public is to the whole idea by trying the front door approach thru medical chipping (for your own good of course) by making it manditory to get into the "system". This gives them a general idea of how easy or hard it will be to chip or mark every one.
Some had speculated years ago that this would come about in this way. Seems that it is now right at the door! I doubt that this is "The" mark but it is a test to see how the marking could be done! Pretty scary!
Maranatha!
Whew! Much as I enjoy and appreciate the writings of Spurgeon, I'm not sure I want to use the Puritans as a model of what a good Christian should be. If you've ever read "The Name of the Rose", by Umberto Eco, you'll remember that the murders occurred because one of the monks wanted to suppress a Greek text that he thought would be used to justify merry-making.
There are two events that, to me, are telling about the Puritans: Christmas Day 1621 and June 1 1660.
Two months prior to Christmas, there was the harvest celebration we've come to know as Thanksgiving, where the Pilgrims had food, and sport, and merry-making in the streets. The Pilgrims didn't celebrate Christmas, seeing it as a "popish innovation", but the Catholics complained about having to work on that day. The governor reluctantly released them from work duty that day, but was shocked when later he observed them having food, and sport, and merry-making in the street. He confiscated their sporting equipment and told them if they were going to celebrate, they needed to do it alone. (When was the last time you celebrated something alone?)
The second day is even more momentous. On that day, the Puritans showed how they dealt with dissent by hanging Mary Dyer in Boston Commons. Mary Dyer was a Quaker missionary who had been arrested 4 times and expelled 3 times for preaching the Quaker faith in Massachusetts Colony. The 4th time they realized she wasn't taking the hint, so she was executed.
Reading what Spurgeon wrote and knowing what I know about what the Puritans did, it sounds as if Spurgeon is advocating the banishment of joy and the destruction of pleasure. Just as one can go too far in providing entertainment as a way of telling people about the Lord, it is possible to go too far in the other direction, leading people to believe that the only way to saved is to be miserable, so when you die you can go to heaven and spend eternity being maybe not quite as miserable with Jesus. (You can't be happy with Jesus because we all know G_D frowns on happiness.)

I just read these Jack Kelly articles on the Holy Spirit- they are kind of a continuation of the discussion we were having a short time ago.

I don't mean to upset anyone but I truly believe this is too important to ignore. WHERE DID ALL THE GOLD GO?
I truly believe that what Chas. Spurgeon was saying looks much like our present days. Just as in the days you mentioned Jim C., there is still much religious mistreatment going on in all faiths. It has always been and it is not going to get any better in the future. We all know that and we are all aware of what kind of mistreatment was handed on on all churches/denominations. It could become a matter of the kettle calling the frying pan black.

For Obama Nuclear Weapons Are A Last Resort
(Cutting Edge comment:)
"To fully understand how President Obama could dramatically change our Nuclear Posture policy, you have to go back to the understanding of our Headline News article, above: nuclear weapons and the missiles which deliver them have been rendered obsolete by America's electromagnetic system called HAARP, while the Russians and the Israelis have an even more powerful electromagnetic weapons system known as Scalar.
When both sides of a conflict have more weapons at their disposal more powerful than nuclear weapons and a delivery system which travels at the speed of light, the old system of missile - borne nuclear warheads is quite useless. Both Russia and America might as well gain as much worldwide goodwill as possible while they start getting rid of the old weapons, don't you think?"

It sounds great and if I can will do. Thanks for letting us know about it. Mainly because I would love to revisit, even by computer the sites in the Holy Land. A friend of mine went 6 times to Israel and longed to make it 7. She was 81 years old the last time she and we celebrated her birthday visiting at the Upper Room and it was glorious.
That picture on his site with the Tear Drop Chapel is the garden that I have shared about before. So very much to cherish and the time goes so quickly while being in the actual land. I wanna go again but I know it will have to be after all the dreaded stuff takes place now.
There was another article JIB about the bullion that was much more detailed but I cannot find it now. I know I read it at the same site but I will tackle the discovery process tomorrow. Busy day today and I am again very tired.

Lebanon calls for Obama to head world leadership to force ME peace
...Friday, Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri called for a "world leadership" to force all the parties to the Middle East conflict to negotiate, describing U.S. President Barack Obama as the "ideal person" to head the effort.
Israel does not have an "authentic interest" in reaching a "wide- ranging and fair" peace arrangement with the Arab world, Hariri claimed at an economic forum on the second day of his official visit to Spain.
The Obama administration has a sincere commitment to promote peace, Hariri said, also stressing the importance of the Spanish European Union presidency.
He urged the international community to pressure Israel with measures such as "cutting off some aid" to the country.
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero on Thursday joined Hariri in urging Israel to help create the conditions for peace.
Hariri's statement came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told close aides Wednesday that Israel would not accept a Middle East peace agreement that is forced on it by external forces...

I have a precious friend by the name of Minerva that is one powerful lady of God. This woman has been a big voice for the Kingdom of God here where I live. She is one of the most beautiful African Americans I have ever met and lives 24/7/365 for Jesus Christ.
I say all of that to say this. Prior to the elections I was struggling with my impression of BOO and it really bothered me. I am not a racist in the least and never have been. Your skin color is not really important to me. It is what you have inside that matters and what comes out of your mouth that represents what is in your heart.
So, I called my friend and asked her a very direct question: "What is your take, Minerva, on Barack H. Obama?" Without hesitation of any kind this precious lady told me she knew he wasn't the AC but that he (BOO) would usher in the AC. Make a way for him to come to power. I believe she is right on and one of the main reasons I do trust her is the proof of her service to the Lord. She is constant in her witness, encouraging and service but she lives it everyday. She is so passionate about her Jesus that it is infectious.
I wish you could all meet her. You would never be the same again because she just has that affect on all people.
So, if this Lebanese head of Government is so strongly endorsing him, what else is getting ready to rush into the gap? Putin? Solana? I have no idea but you can count on it being a

Putin to head investigation in crash of plane of Polish gov't
I cannot bluelink from this phone, at least I don't know how without the proper characters.
Lori
how sad-he fought until the end. please tell Beth that relief is a normal feeling and she shouldn't feel guilty about it. frequently the survivors have guilt about feeling relieved that it is finally over and they are generally emotionally wrung out by that time as well as physically
Lori,
I'm so sorry to hear about Beth's loss, but so happy to know about Geoff's gain. The speed with which things are happening, I don't imagine they'll be apart for long.
I had the same sense in my spirit when I heard that Putin had "offered" to take over the investigation. That, along with the fact that the Poles have been a thorn in the bear's paw for awhile now, not to mention the irony of the destination for the trip they were on.... Too many coincidences to let it pass for bad luck.
Jim C. - would love to hear your take on this incident :-)
Have a blessed Lord's day tomorrow, everyone!
Funny, you all felt same way as I did. First thing that crossed my mind was "orchestrated by Kremlin" and I had only read the first sentence. Yeah, the same about Putin. Czar Valamir will do the same work of art on it that was done about the poisoning of the Russian spy that defected to England. About 3 years ago if memory serves me right.

And the pathway to Tribulation moves forward one more step: A BOLD NEW MOVE IS NEEDED FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Maranatha
That is blackmail! Big O seems to be taking the reins on that one...
“The peace initiative proposed in the article includes the following principles:………Jerusalem's division and shifting the Old City to international control;……….”
"If the Israelis or the Palestinians refuse to accept this basic formula as the point of departure for negotiations, the Obama administration must be prepared to pursue its initiative by different means."
Do you think this will all shake out to a "peace deal" for an "international" place of worship on the Temple Mount? (Jews,Christians,Muslims,etc?)
A promise of the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple? Perhaps the religious Jews think that "if" they can get God's favor w/reinstating the sacrificial system "then" God will take care of the rest of the compromises they had to make in order to get to that point.
Watching the various political movers & shakers propping Obama up as the ME "peace negotiator" is sure a sight to behold.
LISA,
It scares the living daylights out of me. The scriptures plainly state that those that divide Jerusalem SHALL BE CUT IN PIECES and that is us. No, I think someone will take out the Great Pretender before it gets to that.
I wonder how many men that are alive today in leadership roles secretly would love to be the AC? I know we think in terms of "dastardly", "doomed to be doomed" and on we could go but how many really power thirsty men would secretly do everything they could to be the one world ruler no matter what? To the place that they would make fun of, mock and scorn the Holy Scriptures to ease their conscience.
But what exactly does the bible tell us will happen when this attempt to divide Jerusalem is put into motion? I think I will go do some searching for awhile.

You might want to check into it. But I would venture to guess it isn't good. I believe your blog is being monitored, for lack of a better word.
Now when I check at the same spot I see a symbol I can't make out but it is like various shades of red and then these words following "Read 4bp blogspot.com
I went to the 4bp.blogspot.com and it comes up THIS AND IT IS IN ECUADORIAN LANGUAGE . I hit Google's translate this page icon and it then becomes readable.

Someone posted this on "Rapture in the Air":
MDCCLXXVI is 1776 in Roman numerals. This date was suggested by the first Great Seal committee (1776) who placed it along the lower edge of a circle surrounding their design.
Roman numerals decoded:
M = 1000
D = 500
C = 100
L = 50
X = 10
V = 5
I = 1
To decipher "MDCCLXXVI, simply add the numbers:
1000 + 500 + 100 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 1776
Now it gets REALLY interesting:
M - DC - C - LX - X - VI
----600--------60--------6
Rev 13:18 KJV - (Note 13 x 18 = 234, age of U.S. this July 4th)
"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six."

The amount of prayers and notes I have received from so many people is amazing. Thank you so very much everyone for your love and prayers. They are being felt. I will miss him forever.
Blessings,

Lori,
so sorry to hear of Geoff's passing. Praying for Beth & their family.
Anyone else have trouble with the link about Sarkozy? I tried it twice (once by typing in the address) and both times got a spyware warning and was booted off the page. Anyway, was interested to read the article.
This "meeting of the minds" today in DC....very clever, methinks. Get the nations all geeked up to work together against a common foe and anyone who won't jump on the wagon will have their clubhouse membership revoked. The new threat, according to Hil, is rogue terror groups, not rogue states. Those are being dealt with through crippling sanctions anyway. Major chess moves being made now and so few seem to notice.
Never could get the link to French President to come up so TRY THIS ONE
I Googled the title of Lisa's link and the internet is full of it. Maybe we could get the French + other Europeans to come over and join the Tea Party and then dare the "Progressive Press" to assail them. That could be an exciting Summer!
WOW! I just finished reading that article I linked to. The bottom paragraph kinda chilled my bones. Maybe we need to post a different link in case Big BOO is watching. Nah, if the truth hurts they need to utilize their exclusive Federal Government Insurance benefits.
But I would recommend Googling the headline and selecting a generic news media source.
Grany- it pulls up for me- my settings probably aren't quite as strict. (No wonder my security program takes off so much spyware!)
I haven't been too crazy about the French but now I'm kind of liking this guy! Finally someone who will tell it like it is!
A new report circulating in the Kremlin today authored by France’s Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE) and recently “obtained” by the FSB shockingly quotes French President Nicolas Sarkozy [photo top right with Obama] as stating that President Barack Obama is “a dangerous[ly] aliéné”, which translates into his, Obama, being a “mad lunatic”, or in the American vernacular, “insane”.
According to this report, Sarkozy was “appalled” at Obama’s “vision” of what the World should be under his “guidance” and “amazed” at the American Presidents unwillingness to listen to either “reason” or “logic”. Sarkozy’s meeting where these impressions of Obama were formed took place nearly a fortnight ago at the White House in Washington D.C., and upon his leaving he “scolded” Obama and the US for not listening closely enough to what the rest of the World has to say.
Apparently, as this report details, the animosity between Sarkozy and Obama arose out of how best the West can deal with the growing threat posed by rising Islamic fundamentalism. Both Sarkozy and his European neighbors had previously been supported in their efforts by the United States in forming an alliance to strengthen the integration of Muslim peoples into their societies, and has including France and Belgium moving to ban the wearing of burqa’s....
oh, oh, there is a major problem with the eutimes.com web site. It cannot be accessed. An article in Canada Free Press (CFP) showed a link to an article there but the same thing happened with Firefox trying to connect but timed out.
I am going to try to link to Sarkozy's statement on a Parisian paper. If this proves unfruitful I will begin to doubt the authenticity of the article.
I think it would be a good idea to remove the link to the eutimes article because it is being identified as a white supremacist web site. According to several other blogs that have posted this same article, the story was a plant by Russian sources to cause trouble between France and USA. But the main thing is very simple, there isn't one mention of it happening in major news sources here or in Europe.
Now the eutimes site is closed.
Take it for what you think it is worth.
When I said it was closed, I meant that Firefox has denied access to the site completely. My settings are pretty regular but I do have a pretty powerful anti virus+spyware guard.
I can copy/paste the comments about it being a planted article from KGB but I don't think it is needed. If you want to read the comments I have gathered, let me know and I will post the link.
Hmm, not exactly closed, but right next door at EUtimes dot net
What? Russian shenanigans? How would I unpost the link?
Can you post or email me the KGB info? What next! No wonder the admonition to be "wise as serpents" yet "innocent as doves".
There's serpents crawling in every crevice.
I don't know about those Russians- here is a good comment from "Gidget" on Marzulli's blog:
"Not to switch subjects here, but does it strike anyone else in their gut that something is lacking in the explanation of the cause for the plane that crashed in Russia carrying the Polish President, his wife and more than 80 military leaders and delegates? First reports are saying that due to heavy fog, the pilot misjudged the distance and the tail of the plane hit a tree – would that cause the plan to crash? Was he just too close to the ground at that point and that shy of the runway? Does anyone know how close the plane got to the landing site because photos show it crashed in the forest. If they were low enough to hit a tree, then there was obviously total misjudgement or air traffic controller wasn’t advising properly??
It seems to be something taken right from a Joel Rosenberg fiction novel – I believe in one of his trilogy books, a Russian plane carrying diplomats crashed due to a bomb or maybe it was shot down, can’t recall, but for the purpose of a government coup takeover, I believe…
But, of course, these vip’s were from Poland… Hmmm – weren’t we supposed to have a missle defense station built there but President Obama cancelled it or something? And, from what I read on the Jerusalem Post, the Israeli’s are heartbroken over the loss as evidentally the President of Poland was a friend to Israel. Hmmm… The news described the Polish President that was killed as being “controversial” – not sure how? and “incorruptible”! Hmmm…
But, of course, Putin is in charge of the investigation as to what caused the plane to crash – oh, well, that’s certainly reassuring – I’m sure we’ll get the truth from him
Whether a freak accident or evil intent, it’s very sad and ironic that it occured in the same forest where Stalin massacred 22,000 poles, which is what they were traveling there for, to remember and honor those who died at that maniac’s hands…"
Grany, I have my own take on the accident that I hadn't heard addressed yet... Why was the entire gov't, military leaders and community leaders aboard a single flight?
This never, EVER happens in any gov't. I have a theory that they were DOA before the plane took off.
Polish President Kaczynski was nationalist, pro-US "He was an enthusiastic backer of plans to site a U.S. missile defense facility in the country, the largest of the European Union's new eastern members."
There are 66 links today at Off The Wall News and a lot of the articles are interesting. There is so much more that I could've posted had I more time.
DH just found out he has been granted a few days off for Geoff's funeral. We head to NC in the morning. Of course this means the news is suspended until we return. Thanks for your understand and prayers. If you're on facebook, there is a tribute to him on my status.
Thanks all.

If anyone is interested in taking a closer look at Sarkozy, you need to watch his speech given on March 9, 2010 at Columbia University.
It is archived on C-Span under "Recent Programs," and currently on page 17.
The "West" labels him as conservative. Huh?
And yes, he has taken some public potshots at Obama, at which many said "Oh, Wow!"
But he is a dyed-in-the-wool socialist and his most important agenda is global governance. His goal is to reach the governed in hopes that they will help push our President over the finish line in spite of his "Obama is King" image of himself.
And, I'd like to remind you that a great deal of the news that you all spend your time in reading, and mostly believing, is produced by a liberal press and not trust worthy. And 99.6% are also global governance seekers also.
Let God's Word be foremost in your understanding of these events as we move closer to the beginning of the tribulation.
And prayerfully as we see the endtime stage being erected, we will work harder to lead the lost to the Savior. That's the one thing that Jesus gave every member of his Body.

Lori, During WW2, there was a massacre of Polish officers and civilians who had been captured by the Soviets. Before the active outbreak of hostilities, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union "annexed" Poland between the two of them as part of a secret section of a non-aggression treaty. England had a mutual-defense treaty with Poland, so England used the invasion to declare war on Germany. Russia didn't declare war but moved its armies to the lines that had been secretly agreed upon in the Nazi-Soviet Non-aggression Treaty (which is why Britain didn't declare war on the USSR.)
On the Soviet side, important Poles were captured, moved inside the USSR, and were executed in this forest in a mass execution. The forest the plane crashed in is the same one where the massacre took place.
The president of Poland and all the military officials were going to a ceremony commemorating the massacre as part of the Polish commemorations of the Holocaust. That's why all the important military leaders were on the plane.
And yes, if the tail of the plane hit a tree, it would force the tail up and the nose down, causing the jet to go nose-in to the ground.

I hope you don't mind, I put the bit of history up on the news site after one of the links regarding the crash. Thanks
Here's an interesting article from 2007 on Sarkozy from my dusty archives.
A restless Sarkozy vows to lead Europe into a new era 2 pages
Asked about a long, decorative silver sword that sits on his coffee table, he reinforced what he called his message of peace. "It is," he said, "a sword of peace."
Here's proof your prayers are heard:

Lori,
That article on Sarkozy was very interesting. Might he be hyperactive just a tad?
I know you are heading to Beth's and I will praying for your safety and comfort for the whole time.
JIM C.
Jerry Golden's article was interesting and then I read his encounter report with the angel in 1973. First time I have ever read someone else's witness of an angelic encounter. Of course, there will always be those who don't believe it but then, they weren't the ones who experienced it.
The day has been such a beautiful one and I enjoyed every hour of it.
Shalom
Anonymous, Do you have any examples that you would like to share w/us in regards to going out & making diciples?
It seems to be a topic here that is rarely discussed.
BTW- My old-10yr? computer monitor just croaked tonight & the new one I just bought is larger(24") & I can actually see it w/my failing eyesight!
Lisa,
If I remember correctly, you worship at Maranatha Chapel in San Diego.
You are lucky as they have a great program for new believers which is designed to assist you to grow in your knowledge of the Word and to become a fully devoted disciple of the LORD.
And they also have "Habits of a Disciple" offer - a book written by Pastor Ray to help you on this journey.
Both the New Believers program and Habits of a Disciple offer is handled through the New Believer's Ministry. You should contact Troy Dewey for each of those programs.
Maranatha!
Keys to surviving normally his stuff is over the top but this was great
Just who did he actually meet? the other end of his blackberry? very curious
Alesia

She'd be a lot better if someone we all know didn't aggravate her from time to time.
New post is up.
