Physical Assets without Liability

Tuesday, May 21st, 2013

Gold continues to be a tale of two cities.  The paper market shows gold to be in a bear market whereas the physical market continues strong physical demand and indicates the strong bull market is still intact.  Central banks continue to increase their physical inventory of gold reserves.  If gold was out of favor as the mainstream financial media would have us believe, why are central banks dramatically increasing their positions?  They are not optimistic about the future of the U.S. Dollar as a reserve currency.  The Kings of the East continue to gain power in the global marketplace.  They are distancing themselves from the Western control that has exploited them for the last several decades.  China increased its reserves by 20% in the first quarter.

There has been much written about economic changes ahead.  Only Our Heavenly Father knows how all of this complexity will play out.  It is critical to pursue the wisdom from Above.  Our Heavenly Father has given us principles to live by.  The world system would have us throw away all the wisdom contained in Scripture and pursue man’s idea of wealth and safety.  The past financial bubbles are a testimony to man’s inability to preserve wealth.  There is no level playing field in the current financial infrastructure.  The financial markets favor the wealthy and well-connected as does the political environment.  Insiders exploit their positions with impunity.  Meanwhile the masses attempt to make ends meet with inflation eating up the weekly paycheck.

Proverbs 22:7  The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower becomes the lender’s slave. (NASB)

When you are focused on serving the lender, it surely is more challenging to be quiet and hear that still, small voice.

:9  He who is generous will be blessed, For he gives some of his food to the poor.

When you are not highly leveraged, you are able to meet others’ needs instead of serving your leveraged position.

When you possess physical gold and physical silver, you have voted against the current system of fractional banking.  When you pay off your debts, you have freed up your cash flow to respond to unexpected events.  When you remove the complexities, weights, and hindrances from your midst, you allow yourself to become more flexible and agile in responding to the Word of THE LORD.  Let not the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in prevent you from being fruitful for the Kingdom.

Gold and silver are “bridge” items between now and the fulfillment of the Kingdom.  These precious metals are useful for storing value until we no longer have use for them, the point at which the Kingdom has replaced the world system.  Our Heavenly Father established their characteristics and value among men.  There is no evidence that Adam had need of these metals prior to the fall.  Jesus was able to rally the required assets as the need arose.  He saw no need for precious metals other than to meet the obligations at hand.  When the Kingdom Economy comes forth, Our Heavenly Father will fully reveal the details of how exchange of value will work in a fully righteous system.  Until then, reduce your exposure to the current system’s snares.

The Called, The Chosen, The Faithful

Tuesday, May 21st, 2013

In Sunday’s Bible study, we were directed to Revelations 17:14:

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful.

The Army of THE LORD were found among the called.  In the many instances of those who were used by Our Heavenly Father in Scripture, there is a consistent theme, a paring down to a remnant.  In the story of Gideon, the army started at 32,000, then 10,000, and finally 300.  Less than 1% of the original “counted” soldiers were used to bring forth victory. 

In the parable of the Wedding Feast the call went out that the wedding was at hand.  Those who were invited did not heed the call "But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own farm, another to his business”.  Effectively, they rejected the call to be counted among those in attendance at the Marriage Feast.

The oxen were prepared.  The word “oxen” comes from the root word meaning metaphorically: “the faculty of perceiving with the mind, the faculty of understanding and knowing”.  To him that hath ears to hear, let him hear!

“And [my] fatlings [are] killed”.  Fatlings refers to “wheat” in its root meaning.  As we have mentioned in the past, wheat refers to Pentecost.  “Killed” refers to sacrifice as in the sacrifice of the Paschal Lamb at Passover.  Both feasts have been completed in this parable.  Those who were called were tied to those feasts and the related ages and groups they represented.  Once again we see the three groups of people: those with a revelation of Passover, those who went on to pursue Pentecost, and those who were faithful to go on to the final feast of Tabernacles.  For many are called, but few are chosen.

Those who are chosen have ears to hear.  They incline themselves to pursue the fullness of their calling.  They set aside every weight that would hinder their journey to the ultimate fulfillment.  Their willingness to take on the “Sufferings of Christ” in order to fulfill the maturing process was fully embraced.  They understand the end result: the glory (or glories) that should follow.

1 Peter 1:11“(The prophets) Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.”

As we continue to be faithful to that maturing process, our reward will be to bless mankind in bringing forth the Kingdom.  Mystery Babylon will fall, and great will be the fall!

Tornado Interactive Map

Monday, May 20th, 2013

The lower hook is a major tornado in southern Oklahoma County at 3 PM today.  It is currently on the same track as the “May 3rd, 1999, tornado which clocked 318 miles per hour wind”.  The May 3rd tornado’s remarkable wind speed (at the high extreme of the Fujita Scale’s F5) led to much speculation that the scale would be modified to include an F6 category, due to the winds possibly exceeding 318 mph.

Our family was spared.  The tornado’s path was south of us, about 17 miles:

Questions concerning the Census

Monday, May 20th, 2013

A beloved sister had these questions about the Census.  I am posting these questions and concerns because we need to be totally transparent in what we have been called to do:

 

I am seeking Holy Spirit on this matter, of the silver shekel ?

Our Heavenly Father gave us a double-witness on conducting this census.  It was not on our top 100 list, not on our radar.  We simply responded with an “Amen” and proceeded.  Jesus did not do away with the Law but fulfilled the Law.  The Divine Court did not close its doors of judgment but is still deciding cases, evoking judgments, and inspecting evidence or fruit.  The devil is still operational thus requiring a Divine Court.  Sin is still abounding.

My concern is that Jesus paid in full through His death & resurrection.
We can’t buy our way?

This census is not about redemption, it is about be counted as one of those who are called to be a remnant, one of the elect, one of those who is willing to take up his or her cross and go through the maturing process.  The Apostle Paul’s life was filled with challenges after he was saved and filled with the Holy Ghost.

Yes Jesus paid temple tax, with the coin in the fishes mouth, awesome miracle!
I thought that was done, so not to cause offense where they were?

Jesus’ entire ministry reflected lawfulness, not tradition.  He offended those in charge by healing on the Sabbath, etc.  so He was not so much concerned about offending as He was fulfilling the Spirit of the Law.

Jesus was still under old testament law then, old covenant… until He Died & Rose again, New Covenant!

Jesus existed before, during, and after the Old Covenant.  He was glorified while under the Old Covenant at the Mount of Transfiguration.  He was the fulfillment of the Old and the New Covenant.

I guess i believe that we as believers of Jesus, are saved by His Atoning sacrifice, through
His Body suffering & redemptive Blood sacrifice, "IT IS FINISHED" the complete work.

Once again, this census is not about redemption.  When the census was taken in the Book of Numbers, all of the people were from the tribes of Israel.  The census was for those who were called to do warfare.  If you are not led to this area, you should not consider being counted in the census. 

Holy Spirit dwells within us now, we are His temple, we need to keep our body pure, our
heart humble to be worthy vessels, so not to grieve Holy Spirit.

I don’t know but something not sitting easy in my spirit? can’t explain it, seeking further revelation?

Typically when something is “not sitting easy in your spirit”, I recommend you not participate.  This is not about being divisive.  This is about bringing those who have been called to a particular aspect of the Kingdom to come forth in unity.  The ultimate purpose is to minister to all of mankind thus those who are not called will receive the benefit of the manifestation of the Sons of GOD.  It is a “win-win” for all.  Don’t feel guilty if you are not led to participate.  You are not called to be all things to all people.  Simply focus on your particular calling and everything will be fine.  If on the other hand you are being drawn to participate, you should not resist.  Our Heavenly  Father fully understands our humanity as well as our individual callings.  Not all of us are called to be on the front lines.  Some are called to intercession, some are called to feed the elderly.  All callings are important to the Kingdom.  Just do your part.

Hopefully these responses provide some clarification.

Census at Golgotha

Monday, May 20th, 2013

Yesterday’s online Bible study revealed  several facets of Our Heavenly Father’s Divine Intent.  Back in 1997 HE revealed to me the importance of the house HE directed us to buy.  The house number pointed to the year of 2005.  I waited until December of 2005 for HIM to direct me to focus on Love.  After much study and two books, HE directed us to start the Internet live Bible study (the recorded version of each week is available at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-baptism-of-love ).  This Bible study was to focus on providing a foundation to the aspiring overcomers referencing the book Ascending to Love.  This topic parallels the feminine side of the overcomer being the Bride of Christ.  As we were finishing this series, Our Heavenly Father then directed us to focus on the Sufferings of Christ.  This masculine side focuses on the painful trials required for the elect to be involved in the warfare aspect of a mature son.

The final road of suffering is the Via Dolorosa (Latin,"Way of Grief", "Way of Sorrows", "Way of Suffering" or simply "Painful Way"), the path of the Cross to Golgotha.

Luke 23:26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon (one who hears), a Cyrenian ( "supremacy of the bridle"), coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear [it] after Jesus.

Simon in this passage represents the remnant who will take up the Cross.  He is one who by the supremacy of the bridle, or tongue, speaks only what he hears Our Heavenly Father speaks, he is an “Amen” person.

The Destination of the Cross: Golgotha

John 19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called [the place] of a skull (horn > strength), which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha

The Beloved disciple gives us a clue to look at the Hebrew for the word “Golgotha”:

Strong’s Greek 1115 Golgotha = "skull"

from the

Strong’s Hebrew 1538 1) head, poll, skull

a) skull

b) head, poll (of census)

from the

Strong’s Hebrew 1556 – galal

1) to roll, roll away, roll down, roll together

a) (Qal) to roll

b) (Niphal)

1) to roll up

2) to flow down

c) (Pilpel) to roll

d) (Poal) to be rolled

e) (Hithpoel) to roll oneself

f) (Hithpalpel) to roll oneself

g) (Hiphil) to roll away

There was a census taken at the Cross at Golgotha.  Jesus was counted and accepted.  This was the end of suffering and began the glorification phase.

Joshua 5: 7 Then Joshua circumcised their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

8 So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp till they were healed. 9 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.

10 Now the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight on the plains of Jericho. 11 And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and parched grain, on the very same day. 12 Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year.

The Commander of the Army of the LORD

13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?”

14 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come.”

And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”

15 Then the Commander of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.

Golgotha comes from the same root word as Gilgal, the first place of the “cutting” of the Covenant to enter the Promised Land.  This “rolling” over from one phase to the next occurred both at Golgotha and Gilgal.  The census was taken prior to meeting up the the Commander of the army of the LORD.

Our Heavenly Father had us begin a Census as we were studying the Sufferings of Christ.  Many are called but few are chosen.  If Our Heavenly Father has led you to participate, the road will require suffering.  The end result will be worth the pain and mankind will be thankful.  By the way, our street name begins with “Rolling”, representing the 1st Covenant.  More to come.

How to loot Gold

Saturday, May 18th, 2013

The average person cannot take the following steps since you have to be extremely large, highly funded, and well connected to play the game.  Most of us don’t understand the mechanics of this complex market.  However that does not prevent the bad guys from exploiting the complexity.  Lack of transparency and regulation allow these unrighteous acts to continue each and every day.  The one thing they are not counting on is the fact that Our Heavenly Father fully understands their actions and intent AND is tracking it all as the Day of Reconciliation approaches.  Their lawlessness does have ramifications.

The elites are using the current paper system to loot the gold out of the GLD Exchange Traded Fund (ETF).  How?

Step 1   Investment bank shorts the Comex futures market for gold to push the price of gold down.  GLD tracks this market by design.  Comex affects the London fix price of gold.

Step 2   The investment bank then buys shares of GLD at the discounted gold price.

Step 3   Present the lots of 100,000 shares of GLD (+- $14 million) to Bank of NY Mellon (the Trustee for GLD).

Step 4   Bank of NY Mellon must cancel the shares then instructs HSBC London to release the gold to the investment bank.

Step 5   The investment bank covers their short position from Step 1 at a profit.

Since the Fed uses the investment bank to manage gold prices downward, the investment bank can loot the gold held in HSBC on behalf of the GLD ETF with impunity.  They can either hold the gold at the discounted price or sell it in the Asian market and make a profit based on the physical price differential.

Thousands of investors have been given exposure to the price of gold by this investment vehicle as described below.  However the investment banks have figured out how to skim money and profit off of the average investor in gold.  Without investors being informed and in unity, this fraudulent behavior will continue.

SPDR® Gold Shares

Ticker: GLD

Trustee:  Bank of New York

Marketing Agent:  State Street Global Markets, LLC

Custodian:  HSBC Bank USA, N.A.

Shares Outstanding:  346.20 M

Total Net Assets:  $46,480.38 M

Key Benefits:

  • Accessibility: Lowers many of the barriers associated with investing in gold.
  • Cost efficiency: Costs of ownership are limited to an expense ratio of 0.40% plus the costs of buying and selling shares.
  • Transparency: As with other ETFs, price, NAV, and detailed performance information for SPDR Gold Shares are available daily online.
  • Liquidity: GLD shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange Arca electronic exchange and can be bought and sold throughout the trading day through an ordinary brokerage account. GLD is the world’s largest gold ETF and the second-largest of all ETFs.
  • Backing by physical gold: GLD shares track the spot price of gold because they are backed solely by physical gold bullion held in a vault in London, the world hub of gold bullion trading.

“Thoroughly”

Friday, May 17th, 2013

Jeremiah 50:34 ​​Their Redeemer is strong;

​​The LORD of hosts is His name.

​​He will thoroughly plead their case,

​​That He may give rest to the land,

​​And disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

Our beloved sister from Northern Ireland brought this Scripture to my attention.  Recall the dream:

2nd Dream (see: http://www.servias.org/?p=1731 411 on Census)

Yesterday, May 2nd, my wife had a second dream.  She had been awaken at 5:32, went back to sleep, and had the dream.  Once again there were indescribable people and she was given the Word “Acts” and the numbers “one to ten”.  Then she was strongly and emphatically given the word “thoroughly” .  She woke up.  We inquired of Our Heavenly Father about the dream and were given the reference: Luke 13:20  And again He said, “To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? 21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.”  Acts Chapters 1 through 10 provide a detailed account: from the preparation of disciples to the preaching to the Gentiles.  This was the essence of the mandate to “go into all the world and preach the Gospel”.  The remnant is the lump that spread the Gospel to the whole world until it is all “leavened”.

Did the dream occur at 5:34?  Most likely.  Our Heavenly Father makes a subtle point.  We are a many-membered body and HE will use a sister in Northern Ireland to provide further revelation to a sister in Oklahoma about a prophetic dream.

Disquiet:

1) tremble, quake, rage, quiver, be agitated, be excited, be perturbed

a) (Qal) to quake, be disquieted, be excited, be perturbed

b) (Hiphil) to cause to quake, disquiet, enrage, disturb

c) (Hithpael) to excite oneself

I would expect the results in the dream would certainly “disquiet” the current system.

Senior Gold Producer provides perspective

Friday, May 17th, 2013

The following interview provides another view of how gold demand is broken down:

The only group that is negative on gold is the short-term trader/investor.  This includes the agents of the Fed such as Goldman Sachs.  Is the tail wagging the dog?

Notice what the average cost to mine gold is- $1,200 to $1,300 per ounce.  Do you think gold miners will sell their product at a loss at any significant volume?  Thus you can see why my bottom number is in the $1,250 range for a short term dip.  What do you think will happen to the share price if gold skyrockets to $3,500 per ounce?
