2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

The current system and manifestation is temporary.  Our Heavenly Father Who raised Jesus Christ from the dead will raise us up as well.  We are eternal beings  We existed before we were formed in the womb, we have a covenant to accomplish on earth, and we will be raised from the dead when our bodies perish.  Life on this earth is but a small aspect of our entire life.

Each of us may suffer a light affliction but be of good cheer, it will not be in vain.  As Our Heavenly Father opens our eyes to the unseen, the temporal will be of little value to us.

What is necessary to open our eyes?  I believe it is the maturing of our revelation of Love.  What else is foundational to being a good steward over the mysteries of HIS Kingdom?  Without Love, you will exploit revelation for personal gain.  You will feed the flesh at the expense of others.  We have been given many examples in the recent decades of this reality.  It was for our instruction and observation.  It was a warning to us as well.

The path of the righteous is narrow and those who pursue Love in earnest are few and far between.  Why?  It is the ultimate and final battle with the old man.  Once the Baptism of Love enters in, the old man is defeated.  The reality is that there are really not that many of the brethren who have a deep and strong desire for the full revelation of Love.  The mind would rather spend time generating worldly issues to solve.  The ego is an expert at misdirection if given the opportunity.  Studying Scripture with the wrong intent will not get you to the fullness of Love.  Saul (who was Paul) is a testimony to that truth.

It’s all about intent.  You can suffer affliction with the wrong intent and will gain nothing.  If you suffer affliction with the right intent, you will gain the Kingdom.  Only you and Our Heavenly Father know your intent.  You have the ability to hide it from everyone else.  However, ultimately your fruit will reflect your intent.  Let us all suffer our light affliction for the right reason or intent.

1 John 4:18  There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.  KJV

The blogs that I write are intended for your preparation concerning upcoming events and situations.  Be assured that I am not interested in promoting fictional prose as a pastime.  My Degree in Economics was not by my specific plan but was orchestrated by Our Heavenly Father in a series of events.  From a practical standpoint, this specific degree was not of major value in my early business career.  Just about any business degree was sufficient to get a job.  Now is the time when this degree has its greatest relevance.  Things are going to change… dramatically… and soon.

The greatest unknown is just how events will play out.  Will we have a hyperinflationary depression, a deflationary depression, an all out economic collapse, or all of the above?  You may not understand these terms or their specific impact on your life, but that is okay.  What you need to understand is that the current system will not operate in a reliable and effective manner much longer.  We have been in the midst of a 100 year experiment conducted by men and women in power, trusting in their own wisdom and understanding.  Their motivation was self-serving and was to promote agendas that would insure their continued control for generations.

I see no painless outcome ahead for the current system.  There are many historical examples of the same economic path we are on.  None of them succeeded.  Empires over-expanded and then collapsed.  Each attempt to rule the world failed.  It will be no different this time.  The only question is when?

When mankind pursues a path apart from Our Heavenly Father, it always leads to destruction.  Technology won’t save us.  There is no magic pill and there is no silver bullet.  Men will experience unintended consequences of their actions and there will be many who will suffer as a result.  As a beloved brother, what can I do to help prepare you for what I believe will be a notable and negative economic event?  The answer lies in the above Scripture.  Overcoming fear will be our greatest challenge.  Much of the current infrastructure many have based their lives on may be affected.  Only Our Heavenly Father knows how all of this will go down.  Since HE is the only One who will know how to deal with the coming changes, don’t you think it would behoove you to align yourself with HIM?

Servias Ministries has focused on providing materials to mature the Saints for what lies ahead.  First and foremost, you must increase in your revelation and understanding of Love.  We have two books specifically on that subject (www.unity153.net).  You should expand you understanding of Jesus Christ.  Dr. Speckhart’s book (http://www.servias.org/?p=1774) provides additional perspective in this area.  Kemper’s book “Raising a Remnant” (http://www.servias.org/?p=1913) provides us with specifics for the maturing saint.   Our online Bible studies (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-baptism-of-love) are meant to provide supportive discussion on all these topics.  I believe we are providing practical assistance to those who are preparing for the coming change, in whatever form it takes.  Servias Ministries was created and has progressed in response to Our Heavenly Father’s specific directives.  I trust that it was not formed just to pass the time and consume resources.

The coming change will generate a tremendous amount of fear among the population.  Men’s hearts will fail them.  Women will be crying in their pillows.  The young will lose hope.  This will be a time when Love will set the standard for all men to see.  Lies will be exposed and men’s corruption will be judged.  People will be saying, “What was I thinking?’’” when the Truth opens their eyes.  Fear will torment the people until Love shows up on the scene.

I implore the reader to focus on maturing in the revelation of Love.  I believe this to be the best use of your time in preparing for the coming changes.  Get up an hour earlier if you need to in order that you can dwell and meditate on HIS Word concerning Love.  Of course there are many secondary actions to take but if you don’t get the revelation of Love, fear may take you down the wrong decision path.  How can I be any more direct than this?  You either will “get it” or you won’t.  I hope you do.

We continue the convergence toward a major shift on earth.  The current system has been run by self-serving individuals who have mastered lawlessness to the nth degree.  The complexity of their solutions have outstripped their ability to solve the next crisis their previous solutions produced.  Their path for the globe will not end well.  There is over 1.4 quadrillion dollars in financial derivatives much of which is tied to interest rates.  As rates go up, the derivative contracts will require performance by the counterparty.  In turn, the losing side must liquidate assets to pay off their obligations.  What assets do they have?  They probably have large stock positions in the market.  The Dow has been reaching all time highs.  This has been due to the Federal Reserve focusing on producing a “wealth effect” in order to keep the investing public passive.  Their manipulations of markets will soon be history.  Markets will collapse.  I expect their license to print money out of thin air will be revoked once the investors finally wake up to the misrepresentations of government statistics.  Much of the perceived wealth will evaporate overnight.

The system is so complex now that it needs a complete overhaul.  With over 6.5 billion people on earth, who can bring us out on the other side of this impending crisis?  The world’s smartest people got us into this mess.  The richest people funded this mess.  They are out of solutions or they would have already been implemented.

This is where I believe Our Heavenly Father will step in with the needed judgment to wipe away the lies and lawlessness.  HE has been preparing the Remnant who will listen and respond to HIS direction.  They will make the needed changes based on Love, not self-preservation.  Upon judgment of the current system, the masses will be ready to receive a righteous solution to their failed system.  Men and women walking in Love and by the Holy Spirit will be the ones who will set the new course.  If you are lacking in Love, I suspect you will not be sufficiently empowered to be part of the solution.  That’s okay, HE will raise up a sufficient number of those who have been called.  HE always does.

James 4:3  Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Each of us has a unique covenant with Our Heavenly Father.  It is also known are your calling.  You have been imparted specific gifts and resources to fulfill your calling.  Any calling imparted by Our Heavenly Father is based on HIS Love and the furtherance of HIS Kingdom.  If you are not fulfilling your calling, the issue is with you, not HIM.

The universe is in continuous expansion, all based on HIS Word.  As the Creator, HE has sufficient resources to allocate to your calling for HE does not live in a realm of scarcity although you may be currently experiencing scarcity in your life.  If you are experiencing scarcity and lack, you must assess your specific situation.  It is my belief that the greater revelation of Love one has, the greater sufficiency is in one’s life.  Complete sufficiency is based on all the resources you need to fulfill your calling.  Each of us has a different calling therefore each of us has a different set of resources required.  The parable of the talents illustrates this reality.

If you are not receiving, you are probably asking amiss.  The question that begs to be asked is “How do I go about asking in a proper manner?”.  I would suggest that you may be asking according to the ego (aka the old man).  You are asking based on your perception rather than understanding.  Each of us must do a critical review of our intent.  Nobody else can do this for you.  Only Our Heavenly Father knows your heart.  Are you asking for something that furthers the old man’s agenda or are you asking in order to serve mankind?  Some people ask for a lot of money to support the preaching of the Gospel.  Of course they will first make sure they are taken care of before one penny gets distributed.  That is an example of self-centeredness.  Stewardship reflects your intent before you are given a greater responsibility along with the resources to achieve the expected results.

If you are not taking care of the assets you have now, how can you expect to be given stewardship over more assets?  As an example, if your current vehicle is “trashed out”, how can you expect to be supplied with a better vehicle?  If you aren’t a cheerful giver at your current level of income, how can you expect to be given additional financial resources?

The Law of Scarcity is promoted by our consuming the firstfruits of whatever we receive upon ourselves.  The Law of Abundance is planting the firstfruits according to Love into others and in turn increases our own “crop”.  This understanding is what brings forth expansion.  The boy who provided five loaves and two fishes received a dramatic increase from his giving.

The current world system promotes scarcity as their reality.  This is simply a perception, not reality.  Our Heavenly Father has infinite resources at our disposal but will not distribute them so that you can consume them upon your lusts.  How do you correct your error?  I am fully convince that those who seek the fullness of the understanding and revelation of Love will be those whom HE uses to bring forth the Kingdom on this earth.  If you are not passionate about getting this revelation, I wonder if you will be among those earmarked as “The Remnant”.

Jesus emphasized that the Law was centered around Love.  All mankind has been reconciled because “For GOD so Loved”.  Yet most of the brethren spend their time studying about anything else but the one subject that the Gospel is based on… Love.  This is because the ego knows that its end is in sight once you become passionate about getting the revelation of Love.
