What Do Hammers Do?

October 5th, 2013

They look for nails to beat down.  President Obama made a very public statement this week- He suggested that the financial markets should be concerned about the shutdown/debt-ceiling crisis.  This is a standard tactic of manipulation.  He wants to place the responsibility of losses in the stock market due to the government shutdown squarely on the shoulders of the opposition.  We are apolitical in our views because we believe that the Kingdom of GOD should be the final governmental authority.  Our Heavenly Father will install HIS manifested authority in due time.  In the meantime, I believe we are in a “bridge” or transition period that will surely be surrounded by volatility and chaos.  As John Williams puts it in his latest newsletter at www.shadowstats.com :

“Instead of trying to promote orderly and stable markets, the Administration appears to have been playing an extraordinarily dangerous game, in recent days, trying to talk down the stock market, while counterbalancing some financial-market moves with intervention activity through the efforts of the President’s Working Group on the Markets (a.k.a. the “Plunge Protection Team”). “

It appears that the President has his hammer out, looking for nails in a field of landmines.

There is every reason to believe that we are outside the range of prior experience.  The current environment has never been experienced in human history, so we do not have a prior experience to refer for understanding.  The only reference we have is known as “Divine Intent”.  Dr. Vincent Speckhart thoroughly covers this topic  in his book: “Quantum and Non-Quantum States of The Lord Jesus Christ”, available at www.unity153.net

David Stockman, former Director of the Office of Management and Budget, compares this crisis to the one he dealt with in 1981 under President Reagan.  He states:

“It’s going to be catastrophic.  The market has bid up financial assets of all types, and if confidence is ever broken due to an unexpected event, a black swan, or a Lehman event, I think there will be massive selling.  There won’t be any bids, and the Fed will be hard-pressed to make a new rescue regime like it did in September of 2008.  After all, interest rates are already at zero, it can’t radically drop them like it did back then. “

Four years ago, the Federal Reserve was talking about “exit” strategies for the Quantitative Easing program.  Four years later, there is no exit in sight.  Further, they have pushed rates to zero without success.  What else is left?  More money printing?  It appears that extreme money printing is ahead.  Gold and silver will benefit if that happens.

Short term possible outcomes:  After much wrangling, kicking dirt, spitting, and name calling, there will be some compromise.  The stock market will soar to 16,000.  Suddenly, the market will figure out that the Affordable Healthcare Act will cause the middle class to quit spending money on consumption, simply to pay for the additional costs of premiums.  Why?  Based on my current understanding, your healthcare premium will be affected by your BMI.  Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women.  If you are placed in the “obese” category, you will pay more, even though you are healthy.  How many baby boomers will be classified as overweight?  Most of them.  You will be required to pay for your past eating habits, your genetics, and your exposure to environmental toxins.  Environmental toxins?  Yep, where do you think your body stores toxins you have been exposed to?  In your fat.  It is part of the mechanism to protect your heart.  Do you women have a hormone issue that has caused you to gain weight?  It affects your BMI… and your pocketbook soon.

The Affordable Healthcare Act may be the Black Swan in white swan clothing we have been expecting.  The unintended consequences of their actions may come home to roost.  If that happens, economic chaos will cause everyone to lose some weight.  I guess they will then claim success.  The average American’s BMI will be in the normal range.  To calculate your BMI, go to: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/BMI/bmicalc.htm

Pull out your running shoes, back away from the table, and fall in love with gluten-free, sugar-free foods.  Time is short!  And Ladies, get those hormones under control.  It may soon be federally mandated.  Men, beer is not a vegetable… sorry to pop your bubble.

Rooted and Grounded in Love

October 4th, 2013

The Apostle Paul makes it quite clear that Love is critical to our walk if we are to move into the fullness of Our Heavenly Father.  Paul indicates that we can be strengthened with might through His Spirit in our inner man.  It is done according to the riches of HIS glory.

Ephesians 3:17 NKJV – that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—

People are in search of knowledge, but without understanding, knowledge is of little value.  It might even be a little dangerous.  Wisdom is the prerequisite to understanding being maximized for our use.  If you want to be highly successful, you must start with Love.  It is truly the prerequisite to tapping into the “riches of HIS glory”.  Paul knew this and emphasized it to us.  However, this has fallen on blind eyes and deaf ears for centuries.  Love is the key that unlocks revelation for this particular time in history.  In order to comprehend the width and length and depth and height, you must have the proper intent- Love.

Being rooted and grounded is not an overnight, instantaneous event.  The seed must be planted, watered, and protected.  It will then “take root”.  A foundation is built before raising the walls of the structure.  An improper foundation leads to disaster.  The root system of a large tree is massive.  Being rooted and grounded in Love is THE prerequisite for full comprehension and being filled with the fullness of Our Heavenly Father:

19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

How much clearer could Paul make it?

Why haven’t all Christians focused on Love versus about any other topic out there?  The ego knows that once Love has been rooted and grounded, its power is gone.  The fullness of Love brings forth the death to the old man.  That is the reality.  The old man will be kicking and screaming all the way to the grave.  We must not be discouraged as this battle occurs en route to the “fullness of God”.

Exodus 4:11 KJV – And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?

Our Heavenly Father takes credit for deafness and blindness in the above Scripture.  Until we focus on Love(HIS Character), HE will withhold certain mysteries, power, and authority from us.  Why?  Without Love we would abuse power and authority.  We would ultimately use the power and authority for “self”.  Paul further explains:

1Cr 4:15 NKJV – For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet [you do] not [have] many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

Instructors can provide knowledge and information, fathers also provide Love, wisdom, and understanding.  Paul saw the problem then and it is even a greater problem today.  Jesus was the ultimate expression of Love as our example.  HE walked in the fullness without abusing the power and authority.  He made it quite clear in Matthew 26:

52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?”

Because He was fully rooted and grounded in Love, He did not dispatch the angels in order to preserve “self”.  What would you do in that situation?  Would you sacrifice “self” for the benefit of others?

In 2 Timothy 3, Paul warns us:

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

The time is coming when the wheat and the tares will be separated.  Once the Remnant is fully matured, perilous times will be allowed to play out.  HE will move on Mystery Babylon in their blindness to take actions that will unexpectedly take down their kingdom.  The illusion of wealth will evaporate, people will become desperate, and they will seek the Truth.  The Remnant will be equipped with the “fullness of God” to bring forth HIS Kingdom.

The following 9 minute clip dramatizes the “perilous times” in today’s environment:

China: The Year of the Horse

October 3rd, 2013

Based on a prophetic dream of 10/1, I expect to see a major occurrence of spiritual significance in China this coming year.  In the dream, there was a young horse unlike most horses seen in the U.S.  After some research, the young horse in the dream looked like this:

Sculpture of Horse from Chinese zodiac in the park at Mount Mogan in Deqing County,Zhejiang Province, China.  The Year of the Horse begins on January 31st, 2014.

“You are not far from the Kingdom of GOD”

October 3rd, 2013

My friend Kemper explains our two most fundamental relationships in terms of horizontal and vertical.  Our relationship with Our Heavenly Father is the “vertical” relationship.  Our Lord Jesus Christ established that relationship when He died on the cross and was resurrected.  To this very day, it seems everyone spends their time and focus on the “vertical” but are waiting on some special empowerment for the “horizontal”.  Jesus told us to fulfill the Law is summarized in two commandments:

Mark 12:29 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. 30 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.

31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

The first commandment establishes your “vertical” relationship with Our Heavenly Father.  Let’s face it, this relationship is well established.  If you truly believe in the restoration of all mankind, you know this vertical relationship was taken care of by the blood of Jesus Christ.  The Remnant should now be focusing on the second commandment of Love:  Love thy neighbor as yourself.

The anointing from Above flows from the vertical to us and our responsibility is to continue its flow in the “horizontal” to all mankind.  The first two feasts, Passover and Pentecost, tend to focus on our vertical relationship with Our Heavenly Father.  Both the “baptism” of water and the Holy Spirit are signs of these two feasts.  The third feast focuses on “fire”.  This “fire” is intended to burn out the fleshly nature in us so that we are no longer self-centered as children.  We are to become mature sons and daughters and focus on the “horizontal” relationships.  Those who keep waiting for some future event to occur are missing the mark.  Now is the time to Love thy neighbor, the second of the two great commandments.

The passage isn’t yet complete.  The scribe then comments:

32 So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He. 33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

Clearly, the scribe had understanding of the essence of the Law and the Character of Our Heavenly Father.  However, the scribe in a subtle fashion modified what Jesus said.  Jesus said to Love Our Heavenly Father:

1. with all your heart

2. with all your soul

3. with all your mind (dianoia)

4. with all your strength

The scribe said:

1. with all thy heart

2. with all (wisdom and) understanding (synesis)

3. with all thy soul

4. with all thy strength

Jesus embraced the modification made by the scribe after He spoke the two commandments and then said:

34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”

The scribe was on the right path.  He understood the essence.  The second commandment is every bit as important as the first in the eyes of Jesus.  Loving thy neighbor is more important than “all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices” (acts focused on the “vertical”).

We must direct our attention to the “horizontal”.  This is the focus of Kemper’s book “Raising the Remnant”.  We are expected to bring forth the Kingdom by ministering Love to our neighbor.  Our neighbor should see the Kingdom in our eyes and our actions.  If you are self-centered… stop it, repent.  If you are insecure, you need greater revelation of the “vertical” for HE is your security, not flesh and blood.  Wisdom from Above will bring forth the Kingdom but we need not wait on some future event.  The Kingdom is ready to come now.  Now is the time for “horizontal” ministry.  This is the focus of Servias Ministries’ mandate, the books we have published, and the weekly Bible study broadcasts.  This is our priority, what is yours?

Nothing Is Normal

October 2nd, 2013

In John Williams’ latest newsletter (www.shadowstats.com), he states, “Nothing is normal: not the economy, not the financial system, not the financial markets and not the political system.”  I agree.  On the 1st day of the government shutdown, the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets kept the selling of stocks, the selling of the U.S. dollar, and buying of gold from occurring.  It was clear when you looked at the drop in the price of gold yesterday.  It should have been moving up on the uncertainty.  Ultimately, market fundamentals will prevail. 

For those in pension funds, you might want to gain perspective from the research of Matt Taibbi.  He exposes Wall Street’s latest source of unscrupulous activities. 

It just keeps getting uglier out there and the truth is harder to discern for the average person.  This is emphasizes the fact that our only source of Truth is Our Heavenly Father.

A Mantle Has Transferred?

October 2nd, 2013

On October 1st (yesterday), I am led to believe a “mantle” has been transferred.  It is based on a dream and four earthquakes registered here in Oklahoma occurring on this very day.  I do not have any details, nor do I have any verification at this point.  Time will tell.  A key may be the timing of Kenneth Hagin’s passing 10 years and 11 days ago on September 19th, 2003. He was known as the “Father of the Word of Faith”.  The 1st Day of the Feast of Tabernacles was September 19th, 2013, exactly 10 years after his death.

I don’t ever recall 4 earthquakes in one day in this area:

CropperCapture[211]

This kind of activity is highly unusual.  Could it be the mantle of Elijah being transferred?

2 Kings 2:

But he said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So the two of them went on. 7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood facing them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan. 8 Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?”

Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”

10 So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” 11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces. 13 He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. 14 Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, “Where is the LORD God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.

15 Now when the sons of the prophets who were from Jericho saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.

If a mantle has been transferred, Our Heavenly Father will confirm it with multiple witnesses.

16,000 Dow?

October 1st, 2013

Last night the U.S. Government shut down… sort of.  This charade of the two party system is designed to move power from one party to another.  Since the Fed can print unlimited money, only the legal wrangling remains before the spigot opens again.  Once this happens, the stock market might experience “euphoria” and push the Dow to 16,000.  If this happens, I see it as the world’s attempt at love and it will then miserably fail.

Richard Russell, known as the Godfather of newsletter writers, sees the potential of a “megaphone formation” or the “broadening formation.”

He said, “This final wave of optimism is the market’s kiss of death, since this final rising wave takes stocks far above known values”.  He looks for the Dow to collapse to 5,000.  Incidentally, ”5” if the number of Grace.

In his interview: Question — How do you think we should prepare for these massive changes that you foresee?

Response:  I’m not really sure, but my first response is that we must abolish greed and become spiritual.  Currently, it seems to me that the emphasis is on profit, growth at any price, power, greed and wealth.”

He expects a drop like this would evoke a new monetary system.

I think Richard is on to something big!

Redeemed From Death

October 1st, 2013

The Second Census was about the redemption of inheritance.  It was held twenty years after the first census Stephen Jones was led to conduct.  It was based on Numbers 26, the time at the end of the captivity of the children of Israel.  Also, I was awaken just before our trip to KC for the Tabernacles Conference and was told to prepare to speak on “inheritance” if I was asked.  I spoke for 10 minutes in the last hour on the last day of the conference and relayed the essence of the Second Census.

As I have mentioned, the final, official count of the Second Census was 532, a number of redemption from death.  This is the number of Spiritual Perfection of cleansing, the result is “Life”.

The 10th miracle of Elisha was the cleansing of leprosy (death) of Naaman in 2 Kings 5:

1  Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper

Naaman was subject to death, even though he was a mighty man of valor.  Who else had been given such a title?  Those who inherited the Promised Land:

Joshua 10:7 NKJV – So Joshua ascended from Gilgal (Rolling), he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.

Near Shechem (Ridge) was where Joshua had renewed the Covenant and read all of the Words of the Law. (Joshua 8:30-35)

Back to Naaman…  He had overcome the enemy, he was a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper (subject to death).  He had persevered through many trials and was a seasoned man of warfare.  As a reward for this valor:

5 Then the king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.”

So he departed and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.

6 Then he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said,

​Now be advised, when this letter comes to you, that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.

“10” is the number of Divine Order, or Law.  “6,000” represent the six days of work, prior to the Day of Rest (when you only do what you Hear Our Heavenly Father command).  The changes of clothing represent moving from mortality to immortality.  The king of Israel was disturbed but Elisha stepped in to on behalf of Israel to deal with the matter:

7 And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me.”

8 So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”

Elisha was ordained to perform 16 miracles, a sign of Love, a double portion of Elijah’s ministry of 8 miracles.  Just as Joshua (Jeshua Yeshuwa`) was to complete Moses’ mission, Elisha was to complete the Elijah mission.

9 Then Naaman went with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.”

“76” is the number of cleansing and Naaman was directed to do this cleansing 7 times… (76×7=532).  Naaman is a picture of moving from death to life, mortality to immortality.  He was a man of action, a mighty man of valor.  The 6,000 talents of gold point to the end of the 6,000 years of man’s work, entering into the Divine Nature of the Rest work.  The silver representing redemption reflects the Divine Order.

Could this Second Census be the turning point and pointing to the rest work?

By the way, in Bible code I am told that from Genesis 1:1, each 532nd letter in sequence spells out “GOD is able”.  I say “Amen”!

The Kansas City Tabernacles Conference was both an ending and a beginning.  Stay tuned.
