Oklahoma Earthquake Risk Prompts Rare Warning
May 6th, 2014A Heart of Gratitude
May 6th, 2014I am truly grateful for all of those who contributed to the Passover Conference. We are covering our costs and blessing each of the speakers with a gift of appreciation. There were many words of appreciation for bringing the conference to those who normally are unable to attend. With great pleasure we will continue to broadcast these “worldwide” conferences to spread the Good News.
We will continue to focus on improving the quality of the broadcast so as to minimize the technology issues that the recipients experienced in the initial conference. Once again, your support is greatly appreciated!
Judgment and Jubilee
May 6th, 2014The Feast of Pentecost symbolizes two aspects of the Kingdom message: Judgment and Jubilee. I believe this Feast has been of little interest to most Christians because they were more interested in the “receiving” of the Holy Spirit for selfish reasons than to look at the big picture of service to mankind. They focused on their “vertical” relationship with Our Heavenly Father. They wanted the gift without the understanding of the ensuing aspect of service to others. They were basically self-centered concerning the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Few Christians realized the Pentecost began at the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai fifty days after the Exodus, also known as the Feast of Weeks:
Exodus 23:
14 “Each year you must celebrate three festivals in my honor. 15 First, celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days the bread you eat must be made without yeast, just as I commanded you. Celebrate this festival annually at the appointed time in early spring, in the month of Abib, for that is the anniversary of your departure from Egypt. No one may appear before me without an offering.
16 “Second, celebrate the Festival of Harvest,fn when you bring me the first crops of your harvest.
“Finally, celebrate the Festival of the Final Harvest at the end of the harvest season, when you have harvested all the crops from your fields. 17 At these three times each year, every man in Israel must appear before the Sovereign, the LORD.
Deuteronomy 16:
The Festival of Harvest
9 “Count off seven weeks from when you first begin to cut the grain at the time of harvest.10 Then celebrate the Festival of Harvest to honor the LORD your God. Bring him a voluntary offering in proportion to the blessings you have received from him. 11 This is a time to celebrate before the LORD your God at the designated place of worship he will choose for his name to be honored. Celebrate with your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, the Levites from your towns, and the foreigners, orphans, and widows who live among you. 12 Remember that you were once slaves in Egypt, so be careful to obey all these decrees.
The Giving of the Law established the Standard by which righteous judgment would occur. The Law judges sin. Yet the Law was given 50 days after the Exodus and the number represents jubilee. We were all destined to sin and death yet somehow the Law is suppose to expose our sin which guarantees our destiny? No. In order to properly appropriate a jubilee, the reality of the judgment must first be exposed. How can you receive a jubilee without knowing the debt to be freed from? The assessment of the debt must first be determined and the Law fulfilled that assessment.
The Giving of Our Lord Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit completed the path to the Jubilee. HIS Blood provided for the payment of debt and the Holy Spirit provided for the maturing of the saints by leading us into all Truth. The Holy Spirit is our Advocate in dealing with the legal issues of sin as we are maturing as well as our Comforter to minister to us as we are being taught the needed truths discovered through the suffering phase in our training.
We must embrace both the Law and the Holy Spirit as both are needed to provide a full understanding of our growth toward maturity as Sons of GOD. The Law is fulfilled in Love. The ego or false self must die and the new man must rise to full maturity. The Law did its job to expose our lawlessness so that there would be no question of our beginning point. However from that realization that we all deserved death and destruction, Jesus Christ represented the door to life everlasting. HIS Blood began our walk but we needed the Comforter to assist us in proceeding to full maturity and restoration.
This Feast celebrates Our Heavenly Father’s process to jubilee us fully and completely. The Feast of Passover celebrates the initial step to our Jubilee. The Feast of Tabernacles celebrates the presenting of the Mature Sons, the result of Jubilee. Let’s celebrate the Feast of Pentecost as the bridge between these other Feasts that focuses on the process of maturing to our final state.
The Real Unemployment Numbers
May 5th, 2014From John Williams at www.shadowstats.com :
> – April Unemployment Numbers Showed Deepening Economic Disaster
> – Unemployed Dropped by 733,000, but Employed Dropped by 73,000, and Labor Force Fell by 806,000
> – February-to-April Payroll Jobs Gains Were Bloated Heavily by Concealed and Constantly-Shifting Seasonal Adjustments
> – April Unemployment: 6.3% (U.3), 12.3% (U.6), 23.2% (ShadowStats)
> – Revised Retail Sales Growth Was Slower 2011-to-Date; Downside Corrections to Prior GDP Reporting Loom in July
> – Construction Spending Remained Stagnant
> – Year-to-Year M3 Growth Rose to 4.0% in April
You cannot keep marketing a portion of the numbers forever. Where will the investors turn to once they see the illusion? There is too much money in the system to find another home. The Titanic was deemed unsinkable the day before it sank. Keep you life vests handy because we do not know when the big money will abandon ship. The US Dollar will plummet, gold and silver will respond in the opposite direction. Our Heavenly Father only knows the details. Everyone else is simply guessing.
True Circumcision
May 5th, 2014In Romans Chapter 2, Paul reveals the fact that the Law cannot be satisfied by the outward fleshly circumcision:
28 For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision.
29 No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by God’s Spirit. And a person with a changed heart seeks praise from God, not from people. (YLT)
The inward circumcision of removing the “flesh” from the heart is done by HIS Spirit. Once you have had a change of heart, you begin to obey the “spirit” of the Law, not just the letter or legal aspect of the Law. The “spirit” of the Law is the Divine Intent behind the Law, which is Love. We have looked at the Law as a bunch of don’ts in the past. If we change our perspective, understanding that each Law is for our benefit and given from a standpoint of HIS Divine Intent of Love, I believe we will be given a greater revelation of why HE included those 613 commandments and statutes to live by.
Paul further states that by the works of the Law, none are justified. What purpose does the Law fulfill today? It is a Standard that reveals the knowledge of sin:
Romans 3:20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. (NASB)
So, does the Law still have a purpose today? Yes, it reveals sin, the carnal nature of the old man. Without the Law, by what standard would we be able to identify sin?
Does the Law produce righteousness? No. The works of the Law cannot justify you in HIS Sight. Only by an inward circumcision can one be justified. It must be a circumcised heart of Love. Our Heavenly Father provided the “Way” to justification, HIS Most Holy Son:
3:21 But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago.
3:22 We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
3:23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. (YLT)
What is HIS Glorious Standard? The Law.
3:24 Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
Paul later states the relevance of the Law:
3:31 Well then, if we emphasize faith, does this mean that we can forget about the law? Of course not! In fact, only when we have faith do we truly fulfill the law.
Being led by The Spirit provides us the ability to fulfill the Law. We are freed from the penalties of the Law when we by faith receive Jesus Christ and then receive HIS Holy Spirit, given at Pentecost. Pentecost was first occurred at Mt. Sinai where the “giving” of the Law occurred. The number 50 means Jubilee:
Leviticus 25:10 ‘And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.
The ultimate goal of Pentecost is to free you from your debts and receive your inheritance, your jubilee. The Law established the Standard by which debt is reckoned. On the Day of Pentecost, the means by which we are able to achieve our jubilee was provided:
John 16:
5 “But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
The Feast of Pentecost is to honor the revealing of the plan to bring us to maturity as sons. It provided us the Law as a Standard, and the Holy Spirit Who guides us into all Truth thus allowing us to fulfill HIS Divine Intent, thus fulfilling the Law. Isn’t this why we should celebrate and reverently honor such a magnificent plan?
First Desolation, Then Victory
May 4th, 2014Today, I was awakened by Our Heavenly Father to focus on Jeremiah Chapter 32. I was to read verse 31 first:
:31 ‘For this city has been to Me a provocation of My anger and My fury from the day that they built it, even to this day; so I will remove it from before My face.
This particular verse is part of a commitment to bring down the current system completely, by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. However, Our Heavenly Father instructs Jeremiah to buy a field from his cousin in Anathoth for 17 shekels of silver. The number 17 represents victory:
Jeremiah records 17 prayers. The 17th prayer is found in Jeremiah 32. The prayer is made while the Babylonian army was surrounding Jerusalem. In such circumstances, the prophet redeems land in Anathoth for 17 shekels of silver (Jer. 32:9). It is remarkable that Anathoth means “ answered prayers.” Then in 32:17-25 Jeremiah prays his great prayer of victory that once we obtain the victory of answered prayer, no further prayer is needed to obtain the object of prayer.
Jeremiah’s name means "whom Jehovah has appointed"
Jeremiah’s father’s name was Hilkiah = "my portion is Jehovah"
The field at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin was purchased by Jeremiah while he was imprisoned under Babylonian rule. The purchase of this field was to signify that the destruction was only temporary and that ultimately Our Heavenly Father would restore the Promised Land:
42 “For thus says the LORD: ‘Just as I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them. 43 And fields will be bought in this land of which you say, “It is desolate, without man or beast; it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.” 44 Men will buy fields for money, sign deeds and seal them, and take witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captives to return,’ says the LORD.”
In light of being directed to this particular chapter today and having been charged with the oversight of the Treasury of the Remnant and receiving the Census coins held for future distribution:
“I declare that 17 shekels of silver have been allocated and directed for the purchase of the entire field (the earth). This declaration is hereby given as public notice and record is made by its posting as a public declaration available for all witnesses to read throughout this earth on May 4th, 2014.”
Father, we receive your promise:
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. 41 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’
Personal Testimony
May 3rd, 2014Yesterday morning, I reached my goal of losing 40 pounds. Each day I weigh as soon as I wake up, no matter what I have consumed the previous day. I began this journey on August 20th, 2012. I knew it would be lengthy and require discipline. I have learned and reconfirmed the following based on my own results:
– 80-90% of weight loss is tied to nutrition
– 10-20% of weight loss is tied to exercise
– Both are needed to work together to maximize effectiveness
– A supplement may help the metabolism
I added a supplement to help burn the fat. I used the supplement Rasberry Ketone/Green Coffee offered by Creation’s Nutrients( www.creationsnutrients.us ). I personally believe that the combination of these three was instrumental in producing the desired results. The reduction in weight has had many health benefits. It is suggested that after you have been at your new weight for a year, your body has adjusted to the new level. This was true for me.
I did have to start rebuilding my wardrobe which was a welcome cost. My suits could be tailored down to the new size. Fortunately my feet did not shrink. I share this to encourage those of you who wish to lose weight that even if you are over 60, you can do it as I did. Those who are thin have been blessed with a physiology the rest of us were not.
If you don’t diet at all, the supplement will probably be of little benefit. Diet without exercise produces less results than the combination. Walking can be just as beneficial as jogging if you are disciplined in walking at least 3 times each week. Our Heavenly Father will help you if you truly want to change. You will begin to eat in order to satisfy your hunger rather than your appetite.
I am sure that having 40 less pounds to carry was instrumental in my successful completion of the Oklahoma City half-marathon (13.1 miles). Last year I was happy to run the 5K (3.1 miles). My recovery time this year was minimal. I guess those supplements I take, especially Super Limber, have paid off. I can’t guarantee you will have the same results but you can be sure that if you don’t do something about your health, it will probably deteriorate at a faster rate.
Before dieting and beginning an exercise program, you should consult your healthcare professional.
The race was a “run to remember”, the slogan this year.
Above All
May 3rd, 2014Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. NKJV
In the above passage, “put on” means to clothe, wrap, or cover yourself. You will be identifiable by this clothing. The immature expect the more mature to walk in this manner but they should put on this clothing as well. It is the sign of maturity. Forgiveness and forbearance must be accompanied by patience to nurture the immature toward their goal as one of the elect of GOD. If there is any time in history where we will need to walk according to these attributes, it is forthcoming. Major global changes are at hand and the recent past is no longer a valid reference for what is soon to come. Economic storms are ahead and those currently in power may try to move all of us into another world war in order to maintain the past status quo. The stakes are high and those of us who are called to be citizens of the Kingdom thus aliens in the land, must rise up as a standard of righteousness. In order to do this we must become mature in our walk. Paul tells us to “clothe” ourselves. It requires us to act in response to his urging. What is the “glue” that will hold all of this together? Love:
14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
The bonding agent is Love. I implore you to focus on the source of all HIS Divine Intent. The attributes mentioned above result from this Bond of Perfection, Love. Anything that hinders your pursuit of the revelation of Love should be set aside. Let your every action be initiated from a standpoint of Love. Express Love, be Love, walk in Love. As you take this path, you will be tested intensely. Face the test head on and resist the adversary. Embrace the test as an opportunity to walk through the test in Love. As you do, revelation and resources will rally to assist you. You will begin to flow according to HIS Spirit in you. Your household will begin to operate in peace. Division will be replaced by unity. Your faith will operate by Love where it will properly focus on results that promote life and the living. You will become a conduit for Our Heavenly Father to minister to others as Jesus did. You will be found trustworthy to operate in the Spiritual gifts needed for the situations you will be faced with as a representative from the Kingdom. Doors will open as your fruitfulness abounds.
Love is the bonding agent. It must be your first priority. It’s time to be an expression of Our Heavenly Father’s Love to mankind.

Classic Friday Manipulation
May 2nd, 2014![CropperCapture[239]](http://www.servias.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/CropperCapture239.png "CropperCapture[239]")
Pushing down the market by $18 in a few minutes only occurs when an agent bank of the Fed gets instructed to push the price down in order to move traders to the sell side for the day. The goal is to make the dollar look better than it really is. They attempt to hide the truth of the matter but ultimately the truth will be revealed.
Later today, the buyers enjoyed the price:

And the Dollar Index dropped back down. It appears that the weak gold and silver players may now be on the sidelines.
