– Minimally Weaker-Than-Consensus Labor Numbers— Unremarkable Except for the Regular, Horrendous Reporting Quality
– July Unemployment: 6.2% (U.3), 12.2% (U.6), 23.2% (ShadowStats)
– Real Construction Spending—Stagnation with a Recent Downside Bias
– Economy Remains in Serious Trouble

What this tells us is that the mainstream media keeps misleading the public.  Of course they are the messengers.  Those in power know that perception keeps people spending beyond their means, also known as leverage.  In an earlier post I mentioned that one of the blessings is being a lender, not a borrower.  Think about it.  Retire your current debt as quickly as possible and if and when things get dicey, you are not desperate.  Instead, you may be raised as a standard for others to be encouraged through.  This is one aspect of Loving your neighbor.  To be lawful, a borrower should satisfy his debt, not default on it.  If you lent money to someone who agreed to repay you, would you want them to keep their word?  What fruit are we sowing for inspection?

Deuteronomy 8:18  “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.  NKJV

The purpose of wealth is to establish Our Heavenly Father’s Covenant on earth.  Any other purpose is an abuse and will ultimately be tied to some form of judgment.  Men who have attained the wealth of this world often mistakenly assume that they are gifted and entitled to the wealth.  In reality, they are simply chosen vessels to “park” the wealth until Our Heavenly Father needs it for HIS purpose.  They are stewards.  When they die, they take nothing with them except whatever fruit they produced in their life.  The fruit or works will be judged.

:19  “Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the LORD your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

If you believe your own ability resulted in the attainment of wealth, you shall surely perish.  If you Love your neighbor and your enemies, then you will want resources to help the weaker in their time of need.  Isn’t this what Jesus did when He fed the five thousand?  If you were to receive a windfall of profit from an investment, what would be your priorities?  If you already have a list then you probably need to reassess it.  Shouldn’t you wait until you receive the wealth and then seek Our Heavenly Father what HE wants done with the funds?  We should focus on the here and now rather than the future:

Matthew 6:11  Give us this day our daily bread.

Bread represents HIS Word for us for today and each day, HE gives me a Word to focus on.  I bring this Word to you as instructed.  Those with wisdom will correct their thinking as they ponder what HE is saying today.  As I mature in HIM, I view wealth differently than I did when HE first spoke to me about wealth and riches.  HE has made it quite clear that it is HE that has the power to get wealth and HE can remove it just as fast as I receive it.

Most people hoard their wealth because they don’t really trust Our Heavenly Father to provide for them in the future.  Further, they don’t believe that Our Heavenly Father will provide for their children and grandchildren.  I have seen many heirs go astray once they have received their inheritance.  You cannot mandate righteousness by inheritance restrictions.  People who can’t handle wealth today will simply consume their inheritance in the same manner.  If you aren’t a good steward over a little, you won’t be any better with a lot.

A cheerful giver will be given more to steward.  They are tapping into the Law of Abundance.  It is counterintuitive to man’s thinking.  Why?  Because he believes in the Law of Scarcity which has at its roots, fear.

Deuteronomy 28:12   “The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.  NKJV

The above promise is given to those who focus on establishing HIS Covenant on earth.  Jesus clearly established that we should expect resources in the model prayer He gave the disciples:

Matthew 6:9

​​Our Father in heaven,

​​Hallowed be Your name.

10 ​​Your kingdom come.

​​Your will be done

​​On earth as it is in heaven.

We do not need to escape the earth by being raptured away.  We need to focus on establishing HIS Kingdom on earth as vessels of honor, as conduits of HIS resources.  We should expect wealth, strength, and courage to come our way as we truly focus on HIS plan for wealth needed  to fully establish HIS Kingdom.

I have been asked by several to provide counsel concerning the acquiring of a windfall of wealth.  In the past, I would have focused on various instruments, laws, favorable jurisdictions, etc.  Today it is different, my response to the latest well thought out request:

The fundamental issue with all assumptions of the current system is that there is absolutely no guarantee that any bank or any instrument will survive a major black swan event, no matter what their history would suggest.  The Hunt brothers got a taste of that reality when they cornered the silver market.  A law was passed to retroactively make what they had done illegal. 

All banks are connected so no bank can be deemed to be totally safe.

Physical assets such as land, gold, and silver are the best means of preserving wealth in the coming chaos.  No matter what jurisdiction you are in, even those assets can be taken away by the ones who have a badge, gun, and a prison.  Lawfulness is optional to them.

All assumptions and conclusions based on past performance no longer apply in my belief.  The U.S. wants another world war and if this comes to pass, there will be no safe jurisdiction.  So, what are we to do?

I believe that it is imperative that we get the needed revelation from Above in how to maneuver during the coming events.  Only then will we know what to do, where to go, and what means to operate from.  That is the only solution I see at this point.  Ten years ago while I was spending much time in Switzerland and other locales, I became aware of many paths as you have mentioned in your post.  I now see weaknesses in all of them.

My focus and resources are now placed in attaining to a higher level of spiritual understanding.  I believe there are mysteries to unlock that will answer all of your questions.  However, they have not yet been revealed. 

Those mysteries are part of the treasures stored in the Treasury of Heaven.  They will only be distributed to further the Kingdom at the appointed time.

“Last week the Securities and Exchange Commission announced new rules for money-market funds. Funds will now be allowed to deviate from the heretofore sacrosanct $1 pricing model. The abilities to charge penalties for withdrawals as well as to delay payment were also part of the announcement. This should be considered an omen to investors when considering how much capital to maintain in these funds as well as the investment strategy of the funds in which money has been invested.”  See: http://www.sec.gov/News/PressRelease/Detail/PressRelease/1370542347679#.U9Y7DvldUrU

They call these changes “reforms”.  I call them alarm bells.  In essence, these reforms have similar characteristics to restrictions preventing a bank run.  Anytime they limit withdrawal of your money, it should be called a new restriction of your money.  Penalties on your money is another name for negative interest rates.  These changes would not be made if those in power were not concerned about the financial storm ahead.
