Servias Ministries Blog

When I was a child, I never considered getting a college degree in Economics.  As a senior in high school, that degree was not on my radar at all.  For what ever reason, Our Heavenly father steered me toward that field of study.  It appears that its relevance was to be fully appreciated at this time in my life.  My parents were able to enjoy their golden years in a stable economic environment.  They lived the dream.  Interest rates were stable enough for them to retire and live on a modest income without concern for their next meal.  It does not appear that my generation will be so fortunate.  We live in a different economic reality today.

Many people have prophesied of economic or financial events occurring at specific times.  Those of you with Iraqi Dinars know this all too well.  It’s imminent revaluation has been predicted how many times?  Some of you have been so focused on the revaluation, you have probably missed opportunities to be fruitful in other areas.  Macroeconomic events never happen when men think they will.  Why?  There is no sure measurement technique of fear and greed.  Fear is even more difficult of the two to measure.  The “flight” mechanism in man is triggered by some subtle event that is not easily identified.  If the study of Macroeconomics was more precise, the Federal Reserve would not be in the mess it is in now.

How can we protect ourselves from the coming financial storm?  It must be done on all levels: spiritually, financially, emotionally, mentally, and physically.  It has become clear that Our Heavenly Father is using Servias Ministries to help people through the coming events.

Spiritual preparation is more important than any other preparation one can pursue.  Those who are fully prepared in this area will suffer least in the coming weeks, months, and years.  To be spiritually led is the key to properly preparing in other areas.  We must shift our paradigm of historical thought and focus on hearing Our Heavenly Father.  As times become difficult, HE is the only One Who can properly navigate your life through the coming turmoil.  Knowledge and skill alone are not enough to be successful in these times.  If that were the case, the think tanks in Washington would have steered us away from the coming storm.  Each of us needs wisdom and understanding.  We need Wisdom from Above and that is only obtained by hearing HIS Voice.  As we hear HIS Voice, we receive understanding.  How is Servias able to help you mature in this process?  I believe the four books we published, our blogs, and our weekly Bible study are designed to help you through the coming tumultuous times.  Those who assume that life will go on without any significant change are in for a rude awakening.  I wish I was wrong but the numbers don’t lie.  There is no mathematical way to sustain the current path for much longer.  Only Our Heavenly Father knows the day and the hour that the “fear factor” will kick in.  When that happens, it will be too late to prepare.  Your pain will be in direct correlation to your various states of preparation with the Spiritual state being the most critical.

Our Heavenly Father may have you take some actions the are counterintuitive.  As an example, HE may have you give money when you are trying to hoard as much as you can.  Why?  You are planting seed for future harvest.  Farmers know to set aside seed for next year’s crop.  It is a simple Spiritual Law.  Investing in the Kingdom has the greatest future return on investment.  My wife and I actively support the Kingdom with our own finances.  We support Servias and other ministries just like some of you do.  Servias has no payroll.  I would suspect that we at Servias are getting the most “bang for the buck” through the donations.

The Sunday Bible Study broadcasts are specifically focused on your preparation for the coming storm.  I am rather surprised at the low number of viewers versus those who read our blogs.  If a person gets just one revelation out of each broadcast, the 60 to 75 minutes was well worth it.  People would rather be entertained than to uncover some new revelation reserved for this time.  When the storm comes, those areas of entertainment will not matter.  When the strongman comes to take your house, it will be too late to go buy a set of barbells and prepare.

I expected to begin our Bible Study broadcasts on the book “Raising the Remnant” at the time of Tabernacles but that did not happen.  It was needful for us to spend the extra time on understanding Divine Intent and the quantum versus the non-quantum.  There is some foundational understanding required at this time in history and thus we needed the revelations found in this book.  The “Remnant” Bible study will focus on maturing the Saints.

It is better to over-prepared rather than under-prepared for the coming storm.  The apparent delays are a blessing to those who are still preparing.  I believe the 3rd Baptism is reserved for those who are called to serve mankind in the coming storm.  Some of you have wondered about your calling.  It may be revealed soon as we get closer to the storm.  Jesus Christ has power and authority over all of the particles of creation.  Our Heavenly Father will appoint certain men and women with that same power and authority when the bottom falls out of the current illusion of monetary stability.  HE is preparing those who have ears to hear.  I trust our books, blogs, and broadcasts are part of HIS plan.  They certainly weren’t my idea.  I am simply serving at HIS Pleasure!

Here is the problem in the current pension fund environment.  Many pension funds make long-term assumptions, typically optimistic.  The following graph show an expected 8.75% annual return on investment on $1,000:

For each $1,000 invested, in 30 years you would end up with $13,800 at 8.75% interest rate.  What happens when the interest rate drops to 3% for an extended period of time?

You end up with $10,000 less.  This is what the shortfall in the pension funds is all about.  They are in denial and continue to expect improved performance.  With short-term money at .7%, the deficit to be made up intensifies.

The Federal Reserve continues to suppress rates and print more money.  Life Insurance companies are using the same assumptions as pension funds.  At some point there will be a “Great Leveling”.  Your whole life insurance may go into the deep red, your pension fund may be grossly underfunded, and your saving dollars’ purchasing power is disintegrating.  This is why I personally view having at least 10-20% of savings in physical assets.  However, you should contact your investment advisor to determine your optimum investment position.

In the following video, Matt Taibbi and Sam Seder tackle this all important question.  In our special ustream broadcast yesterday, we discussed “The Corrupt Church” in Revelations.  As has been said in the past: the church reflects society and its leaders.

This clip provides a perspective on the newsworthiness of the financial media and the fact that lawlessness is intrinsic to the too big to fail aspect of banking.  Our Heavenly Father does not agree with this view.  HE will have a corrective interview at some point.  When this happens, we should not be surprised by the magnitude of judgment.  Don’t be part of the collateral damage, simplify and protect yourself from the tsunami sure to come to the corrupt financial system.

As predicted, the U.S. came to an agreement to temporarily deal with the shutdown… For 90 days. The market is not pleased, the Chinese are not pleased, and the Japanese are not pleased. They are the two largest bond holders of U.S. debt. They both issued warnings so they are now on record.

China continues to acquire gold to back its international transactions as it sets up partnerships with other countries, bypassing the Dollar. At some point, the Dollar will no longer be the world reserve currency and the Washington beltway will be looked at as the culprit. Everyone will point fingers and no one will accept responsibility for the loss of global power. It will nonetheless take place. The entitlement and arrogance will evaporate into history. Only a major shift in the belief system of the populace would change the present course. Our Heavenly Father has the means to cause this shift but it would be accompanied by a corrective judgment equivalent to the current state of lawlessness. Buckle up!

The ego will create a problem then solve it.  The intent is to show its superiority and maintain control.  The U.S. Congress continues to debate toward a solution to the “debt” crisis.  The crisis will be averted, the stock market will rally, but the problem is not solved.

The following chart produced by the St. Louis Federal Reserve provides perspective:

The U.S. Credit Market is right at $60 Trillion.  What crisis?

The headlines that came out this week were designed to discouraged those who believe gold & silver to be the best insurance against the current chaos.  The Federal Reserve’s agent banks, utilizing insider information, orchestrated another smackdown of the “paper” price of gold and silver.  Why?  They are trying to defend the Dollar.  Mainstream news outlets are owned by large corporations who are motivated to support the Fed, even if it is for nefarious purposes, aka, love of money, greed.

If gold & silver were truly out of favor, gold would be at $275 per ounce and silver would be priced at $5.15 per ounce.  Instead, they are four times higher or, the value of the Dollar is four times lower, thus it takes more depreciated dollars to buy these metals which are “out of favor” or “hated” by investors.  China and other countries are taking advantage of the smackdown once again.  Related quality stocks are stunning buys.  The Fed will take down mining companies that are cash poor.  They are simply casualties of the current policy of desperation.  The Fed does not give a rip about the masses of people who will be hurt by their actions.  It is all about protecting the wealthy elite and their agenda.  This is the essence of the not-so-mysterious Babylon.

As gold & silver are being pummeled, commercial banks are worried about protecting their digital assets and our deposits.  Watch: http://www.bloomberg.com/video/-quantum-dawn-2-is-a-cyber-attack-bank-drill-~FFjng~nR9ir5OoFnRPLNw.html

Your money in digital form is at risk of being accessed by adversaries around the globe.  Men’s egos think they are superior to others.  Who is to say that the security expert protecting the banks is the smartest IT guy on earth?  One must realize that there is always a smarter guy out there with the tools and determination to take over as king of the hill… even if only for 15 minutes of fame (another aspect of the ego).

Is the U.S. Debt Ceiling really an issue?  After all, it has been raised 75 times in the last 50 years.  Now when the U.S. Treasury issues new debt, The Federal Reserve is buying or backing the bonds.  Where do they get the money?  Out of thin air.  Voila!

The Fed could bail out the U.S. Treasury like it did for the banks in 2008.  Now worries!

President Obama has sufficient Executive Orders and other statutes in place to proclaim a “National Catastrophe” and raise the debt ceiling with a stroke of the pen.

The website of the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare) is an utter embarrassment to the IT community.

Closing down non-essential services is a rounding error to the real problem.  It is similar to when the Federal Reserve quit reporting M3 money supply because they said it cost too much…  I say “Just print some more money to pay for the paltry cost!”

The U.S. Treasury will not default but will pay interest on the debt with soon to be worthless fiat currency.  The game will continue for now.

The stock market may ultimately rally to 16,000 or higher before taking a plunge.   The charade can’t last forever.  John Williams at www.shadowstats.com reported:

Consumer Credit and Sentiment Show Deteriorating Consumer Liquidity Circumstances

Estimated Headline U.3 Unemployment Rates:  7.3% in September, 7.6% in October, versus August Actual of 7.3%

Estimated Headline Payroll Changes, or Jobs Gains/Losses:  181,000 Gain in September, 430,000 Loss in October, versus August Gain of 169,000

What do these mean?  The consumer’s situation is worsening thus the economy is getting worse.  Quantitative Easing will continue.  Obamacare costs will add to the burden, thus pushing discretionary spending further down.  Contraction is likely in the coming months.  Corporate earnings after the Christmas season are likely to be dismal, except in the healthcare-related sector and the blame game will continue into the next election cycle.

The President’s power has been dramatically increasing over the last few decades.  The use of Executive Orders has allowed the President to circumvent Congress and the Judicial Branch.  Due Process is no longer necessary, Congress doesn’t like it, and opposing leaders are trying to expose it further.

All of the shenanigans inside the beltway are affecting the lives of our children and grandchildren. It is more important than ever to be Spiritually attuned to the times.  Men are blinded to the big picture so they will be illogical in their assumptions and move toward destruction.

It is estimated that the U.S. has over $220 Trillion in total debt and there is no way to pay it off except by default or devaluation of the currency.  Either way, it will not bode well for the populace.  We must focus on the Divine Intent of Our Heavenly Father in these matters knowing that HE Loves us and will see us through whatever lies ahead.

President Obama nominates Yellen and the price of gold and silver gets slammed as though she will be able to fix the currency.  Meanwhile, the Kings of the East continue to acquire the true currency:

They are on schedule to buy up the entire year’s output from gold mines at bargain prices.  They are currently the number one manufacturer in the world and they are preparing to disconnect from the dollar.  When that happens, most Americans will wonder what happened while they were watching their “reality” shows.  Fiat currency printing will continue in its ever-expanding pace until Mystery Babylon falls from the weight of paper, metaphorically speaking.

Nobody wins when you vie for superiority.  Why?  You have disclosed your intent and can never be trusted again.  You have based your relationship on fear and the other party will figure out a way to depart from the relationship, one way or another.  You have changed the course of history.  The President and Congress have placed America at risk.  The rest of the world looks on as both sides accelerate to the point of no return.  Who will flinch first?

Meanwhile, China looks on with great disgust.  How can the world be put in subjection to risky American politics?  What measures will they take to protect themselves from the fallout of the unrighteous actions of a few hundred in Washington?  We must all conclude that other nations will not forget this.  They will move their economies and currencies away from the impact of a U.S. centric world.  American politicians are arrogant enough to think that we are too big to be removed from global leadership.  Who are we kidding?

Everyone knows that the gold and silver paper markets have been manipulated by agent banks on behalf of the U.S. government.  This is true of the U.S. stock exchange as well… for years.  Technical traders have seen so many “flag pole” rallies painted on their screens, many have become fully discouraged (and broke) trying to use their technical formulas to make money in the market.  However, the manipulators are not greater than the global market.  They may have finally met their match.

Swiss Regulators Probing Alleged Currency Manipulation

The $5.3 trillion-a-day foreign exchange market is being investigated by the Swiss.  The arrogance of the large investment banks will surely be exposed once again.  The LIBOR scandal was just the beginning.  Hopefully we will see the truth exposed.  See:http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-10-04/swiss-regulator-probes-alleged-foreign-exchange-manipulation.html

By the way, you cannot manipulate gold or silver bullion.  It is what it is.
