ALERT: Does This Map Signal the Beginning of Nuclear Conflict?

Friday, June 7th, 2024

The warning signs have been there since 2012, but the media has not reported those signs.

Why would the U.S. promote a war? Could it be to take our attention away from the massive unsustainable debt we now have accumulated?

The solution is Spiritual!

El Salvador Transformation

Wednesday, June 5th, 2024

From the Murder Capitol of the world to the safest country in the Western Hemisphere

Jesus will judge the nations: sheep on His Right and goat nations on His Left. El Salvador made a decision to change from a goat nation to a sheep nation. The first thing Nayib Bukele did when he took office was to pray to GOD and seek His Wisdom.

Why should the U.S. allow George Soros who was born in Budapest Hungary, be allowed to buy his influence and philosophy in the American Society? We should be placing our trust in Divine Wisdom only given by THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, not some man who thinks that he is smarter than the rest of us.

Nayib gave a recent speech outlining El Salvador’s problems and the solutions to their problems. We need to look at his example. FATHER’S Wisdom prevailed in El Salvador and it can in the U.S. before it is too late. Let the Truth prevail!

Nayib Bukele said, “He who spares the wolf forsakes the sheep!”

El Salvador celebrates Father’s Day the whole month of June. On the other hand, the U.S. celebrates gay pride month during the same time. Hmmm!

El Salvador’s turnaround gives us hope for other countries to become sheep nations!

Matthew 25:31-46 NKJV
“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. [32] All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. [33] And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. [34] Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: [35] for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; [36] I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ [37] “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? [38] When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? [39] Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ [40] And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ [41] “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: [42] for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; [43] I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ [44] “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ [45] Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ [46] And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

The next seven months!!

Friday, May 31st, 2024

Where is the average American? Is he riding in the back of a clown car and oblivious to what is occurring all around him?

There are so many issues plaguing the globe and the average American is still naïve concerning the state of the current geopolitical environment.

A commentary by Bill Holter:

The Rule of Law?

THE ONE THING that steered capital towards the United States was “the rule of law.” Capital from the four corners of the Earth flowed into the US because the rule of law was the most solid and fair on the planet. That, is a thing of the past. Now you will see a capital flight, devaluation, and hyperinflation fitting of the Banana Republic we have become!

  Late last year, the US said they were “freezing” $300 billion of Russian owned US Treasuries. Almost to the day, gold and silver began to move higher. A week ago, it was announced there are discussions to use $50 billion of these bonds as collateral for a loan to Ukraine. What would you think if someone stole your funds and then used them to support your enemy? And what would you think in regards to how this fits in with the rule of law?

  Today, former President Trump was convicted of 34 felonies. It doesn’t matter what you think of Trump. Whether you are a supporter or not, or even have TDS Trump Derangement Syndrome, the New York case is nothing but a travesty. Anyone with a brain half screwed on knows this was a railroad job. Again, no matter what you think of the man, you now know the government can destroy you any time they please. Only Banana Republics do this kind of stuff…

  The above said (and I could have said MUCH MORE on both!), this is so negative for confidence …and the world now runs on nothing but confidence! Understand that without confidence, credit is not forthcoming, and without credit, EVERYTHING STOPS! Capital will now flee the US and the West in general.

  Some are saying May 30, 2024 was the day Donald Trump won the election (assuming there is one?). It may go down as the day the US formally became a banana republic? It may be the day that the dollar went on a ventilator? Watch gold/silver and interest rates to see what the verdict is. I believe they just rang the bell at the starting gate to monetary hell!

Another commentary:

These guys know what they are talking about… pay close attention.

OUR SOLUTION IS SPIRITUAL-BASED! Those who walk in Holiness will navigate whatever lies ahead!

It’s all about control!

Wednesday, May 29th, 2024

Throughout my business career, I listened to experts who had no “skin in the game” causing them to skew their advice. I simply wanted the facts and the Truth of the matter.

I listened to the interview: Entire Financial System Can Go Down Soon -Chris Martenson

This 38 minute interview will provide you with perspective and reveal the Truth of what may be confronting us soon. I have followed Chris for years and know him to fully informed of what is going on. His research on COVID vaccines back in 2000-2021 is indisputable. I have also followed David Webb and read his book on “The Great Taking”. Both men are revealing Truth in opposition to the narrative of lies being spewed out of the nefarious. If you don’t have physical possession of financial assets, you simply have a claim… and subordinate to other senior claimants. This is what Chris is convinced of from his exhaustive research.

Another interview that fully exposes the Truth about the war in Ukraine is found on the Tucker Carlson Network. To watch the interview requires a paid subscription but I believe it is well worth the investment to hear the facts of how the U.S is promoting a war with Russia. They want to sucker Russia into a global conflict. Could their actions result from their intent to cover up the true state of the teetering financial system?

The only solution for you and me is “Spiritual”. I suspect the reason for The Holy Spirit leading to write the current series, “Pursuing Holiness” is to equip us of what lies ahead.

The works of the devil

Sunday, May 5th, 2024

The works of the devil are no longer hidden from our sight!

Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:

10  The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill (Gr. Thuo), and to destroy (Gr. Apollymi). I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.  NKJV

In other Words:

10 A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!  TPT

The Greek word thuo means to sacrifice or slaughter.

The Greek word apollymi  means: to destroy; to put out of the way entirely, abolish, put an end to ruin; render useless; to kill; to declare that one must be put to death. To be ruined.

The devil employs actors in each generation willing to carry out his plan to steal, kill, and destroy.  This generation is no different.

In the financial arena, wealth of the populus is being stolen by the current financial structure.  They create money out of thin air then loan it to us with interest.  What a deal!  At the fundamental level, major banks act as agents to manipulate various financial markets for their own gain, at the expense of the public.

Politicians are paid off or threatened in some manner.  Big Tech companies are suppressing Truth by deplatforming Truth tellers.  Big Pharma is poisoning the masses in the quest for greater profits.

The world is being swallowed up by the darkness of moral relativism. Without the presence of absolutes, mankind is doomed to follow the same course as the pre-flood occupants of the planet that perished because they lost contact with the God that created them and wanted to guide them. In doing so, they chose death over life.

This is a pivotal year in history.  Will the true church rise up or will it be lukewarm?  The answer lies in pursuing the Spiritual Truth in all areas.

The following provides us with a perspective of what is at hand:

Do You Own Stocks?

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2024

If you do own stocks and the certificates are not in your possession, this interview will enlighten you concerning changes in the law that may affect your status of ownership if there is a credit crisis.

The recently enacted laws do not favor you and me.

Even though my wife and I don’t have a lot of stocks, we did go through the process of getting physical certificates which has no intermediary claims.

Step 1: Notify your stock broker who has your stocks in the “street name” to transfer them to Direct Registration at Computershare. They will likely charge a fee for this.

Step 2: Once you have an account at Computershare, you can select the option for issuing physical shares sent to your home address.

If you decide to sell your shares, you can go to your stockbroker and reintroduce them to your account. Once posted, you can then sell them.

If you have physical certificates, the Stock Transfer Agent who is retained by the public corporation will have record of your ownership. There are no intermediary claims that can be used to tie up your asset.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 10:

16 Now, remember, it is I who sends you out, even though you feel vulnerable as lambs going into a pack of wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes yet as harmless as doves.

Let us not be caught unaware of what the snakes are attempting to do!

The Spiritual Transaction

Friday, April 19th, 2024

Giving should be a Spiritual transaction!

When you partner with The Holy Spirit, your giving becomes a Spiritual transaction.

The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 21:

1  After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:

2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.

3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.

Peter and the other disciples tried to produce income on their own and they were totally unsuccessful.

4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

5 Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?” They answered Him, “No.”

They admitted to their failure as seasoned fishermen.

6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.

When you immediately respond to OUR LORD, you succeed.  They toiled all night but when they heard the Word of The Lord, success came quickly and with abundance.

This is also true when you give as directed by The Holy Spirit.  When my wife and I give, we ask The Holy Spirit to tell us how much.  The first amount we “hear” is what we have learned to give.  If we continue to dwell on the question of how much, our souls get involved and the amount is typically lower.  Who woulda thought!  Our soulish man must be put under submission, and this occurs as we continue to listen to The Holy Spirit.  Hearing Him in giving can be most difficult since finances are such a sensitive subject.  Also, we have learned not to be coerced by men in our giving.

When we give in response to what The Holy Spirit tells us, this becomes a Spiritual transaction.  We have placed our faith in hearing The Holy Spirit which sets us up for blessings in all areas.  Yes, there are times when our faith is “stretched” but in response, the windows of Heaven have opened up on our behalf.

Jesus speaks On Treasures

Thursday, February 29th, 2024

What treasures retain value?

Jesus Himself spoke concerning treasures in Matthew chapter 6:

19  “Don’t keep hoarding for yourselves earthly treasures that can be stolen by thieves. Material wealth eventually rusts, decays, and loses its value.

20 Instead, stockpile Heavenly treasures for yourselves that cannot be stolen and will never rust, decay, or lose their value.

Jesus spoke many times about money and what we should do with money.  He strongly warned us of greed and hoarding.  This may be one of the most sensitive subjects for people to deal with since it affects many aspects of our life. 

At the root of hoarding is fear of the unknown and the fear of the future.

Jesus tells us where our heart is based on our actions:

21 For your heart will always pursue what you esteem as your treasure.

Your fruit will give you away as to what is in your heart.  Your “checkbook” (i.e. financial transactions) will testify to where you place your trust.

22 “The eyes of your spirit allow revelation-light to enter into your being. If your heart is unclouded, the light floods in!

23 But if your eyes are focused on money, the light cannot penetrate and darkness takes its place. How profound will be the darkness within you if the light of Truth cannot enter!

I know that this topic is extremely challenging to discern how we should handle money.  This is why it is vital to be led by The Holy Spirit in your expenditures.  He will guide you in the appropriate disbursements in all areas.

The word profound means: of deep meaning; of great and broadly inclusive significance.  Money and its uses will greatly impact our walk with Our Heavenly Father, both good and bad.  If revelation from Above can’t penetrate the darkness created by the negative effects of money, we will not walk in Truth.  This is why the adversary wants us to believe in scarcity.

Jesus continues:

24 “How could you worship two gods at the same time? You will have to hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t worship the true God while enslaved to the god of money!

Who you worship is revealed by the treasure you embrace.

Now Jesus focuses on the core issue of worry:

25  “This is why I tell you to never be worried about your life, for all that you need will be provided, such as food, water, clothing—everything your body needs. Isn’t there more to your life than a meal? Isn’t your body more than clothing?

26 “Consider the birds—do you think they worry about their existence? They don’t plant or reap or store up food, yet Your Heavenly Father provides them each with food. Aren’t you much more valuable to your Father than they?

27 So, which one of you by worrying could add anything to your life?

Worry produces nothing so it is totally unproductive to worry about anything!  We are to place our trust in FATHER.

28 “And why would you worry about your clothing? Look at all the beautiful flowers of the field. They don’t work or toil,

29 and yet not even Solomon in all his splendor was robed in beauty like one of these!

30 So if God has clothed the meadow with hay, which is here for such a short time and then dried up and burned, won’t he provide for you the clothes you need—you of little faith?

Faith is the issue.  If we worry, we must then realize that our little faith must be dealt with.  Faith grows by reading, dwelling, and meditating on The Word.  It will also grow when The Holy Spirit gives you a specific Word.

31 “So then, forsake your worries! Why would you say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’

32 For that is what the unbelievers chase after. Doesn’t your Heavenly Father already know the things your bodies require?

FATHER is very aware of our individual needs and has no problem in addressing them.  HIS abundance is greater than all of our needs combined.

Jesus tells us the solution to the money/earthly treasure issue:

33 “So above all, constantly seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.

34 Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.”

I can attest to the revelation given directly by Jesus to us concerning money and its uses.  Know that earthly treasures will either be stolen or lose their value.  This year may be the year we see this fully exposed.

PS: This writing is for me as well as you.  I too must be reminded.

Unreliable Riches

Tuesday, February 27th, 2024

What treasures are we to be focused on?

Our current stewardship is directly related to our future rewards.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Timothy chapter 6:

17  To all the rich of this world, I command you not to be wrapped in thoughts of pride over your prosperity, or rely on your wealth, for your riches are unreliable and nothing compared to the Living God. Trust instead in the One who lavishes upon us all good things, fulfilling our every need.

18 Remind the wealthy to be rich in remarkable works of extravagant generosity, willing to share with others.

19 These Spiritual investments will provide a beautiful foundation for their lives and secure for them a great future, as they lay their hands upon the meaning of true Life.

There was a certain man who at one time was worth $250 million.  He lived in a mansion and had a summer home on an exclusive island.  He had an incident with an employee who broke the law and was removed from the business.  That employee had political connections he used to destroy the business and ultimately the man’s wealth.  This can happen to anyone with substantial means.

As we are led by The Holy Spirit and walk according to The Word, we will enjoy the protection of Our Heavenly Father.

We are now in the midst of tumultuous times.  The value of the US Dollar is being challenged.  The value of 401K’s, savings, checking, real estate valuations, etc. are all subject to loss.  If you are counting on the temporary as your safety net, you may be sorry.

In the 1980’s, I saw real estate in the central US lose over 40% of its value within months.  I knew one lady who lost 1/3 of her life savings when financial institutions closed due to losses.  Younger people have no idea of the risk we now face.  Most pay no attention to history as though it won’t happen again.

I must place my trust in FATHER’S Word, especially Psalm 91:

1  He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and My fortress, My God, in Whom I trust.”

3 For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence (including the manmade viruses intended to kill you).

4 He will cover you with his pinions, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.

8 You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.

9 Because you have made The LORD your Dwelling place- the Most High, Who is my refuge

10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent.

11 For HE will command HIS angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

12 On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

14 “Because he holds fast to ME in Love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows My Name.

15 When he calls to ME, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him My Salvation.”

Don’t trust your temporary treasures for they have wings and can fly away over a weekend.  Don’t trust in the world’s incentives to enslave you in debt.  Place all your trust in Our Heavenly Father, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and purpose to be led by The Holy Spirit each and every day!  This is what I purpose to do and hope you do the same!

Short Term Or Long Term

Monday, February 26th, 2024

Are you focused on the long term or short term!

What will you give up for the short term so that you can enjoy the long term?

The U.S. society overwhelming lives on credit.  In fact, the total credit card debt in this country is now at a record $1.13 trillion.  Why?  The media has convinced most that buy now, pay later is a desirable path to take.  As I have said in the past, the term “mortgage” means death grip.

Short-term thinking sacrifices your future wellbeing, and possibly your Eternal reward.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

7  Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by His Blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading riches of His grace.

8 This superabundant grace is already powerfully working in us, releasing all forms of Wisdom and practical understanding.

9 And through the revelation of the Anointed One, He unveiled His secret desires to us—the hidden mystery of His long-range plan, which He was delighted to implement from the very beginning of time.

10 And because of God’s unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when God makes all things new in all of Heaven and earth through Jesus Christ.

11 Through our union with Christ we too have been claimed by God as His own inheritance. Before we were even born, He gave us our destiny; that we would fulfill the plan of God who always accomplishes every purpose and plan in His Heart.  TPT

It is critical that we understand the revelation Paul was given by The Holy Spirit.

With humility and integrity, Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 12:

1  Although it may not accomplish a thing, I need to move on and boast about supernatural visions and revelations of the Lord.

2 Someone I’m acquainted with, who is in union with Christ, was swept away fourteen years ago in an ecstatic experience. He was taken into the third Heaven, but I’m not sure if he was in his body or out of his body—only God knows.

3 And I know that this man (again, I’m not sure if he was still in his body or taken out of his body—God knows)

4 was caught up in an ecstatic experience and brought into paradise, where he overheard many wondrous and inexpressible secrets that were so sacred that no mortal is permitted to repeat them.

Paul waited fourteen years to share this experience.  Most scholars agree that it was Paul who was caught up.  He did not immediately attempt to impress anyone of his spiritual superiority but instead wrote at the appropriate time to help us in building our faith in Jesus Christ.

Paul knew the long-term benefits of having faith in Christ which is the Cornerstone of our future.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Jeremiah chapter 29:

11  For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

12 Then you will call upon ME and come and pray to ME, and I will hear you.

13 You will seek ME and find ME, when you seek ME with all your heart.

14 I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.

FATHER spoke to me several years ago and instructed me to get out of debt… including our house.  I believed and had faith in HIS Word.  HE supernaturally blessed us financially and we were able to become debt free.  It was by faith, not by our works.  Am I any more special than you?  Absolutely not!  HE had to change my mindset in the area of finances.  HE can and will do the same for you.  HIS plan for us is a long-term plan of blessing.  For that plan to be realized, we may be required to sacrifice in the short term.

The short term tends to satisfy “self”.  Will you sacrifice “self” for the long term?
