Hyperinflationary Great Depression Ahead

April 3rd, 2014

John Williams lives and breathes government statistics.  He is an expert in the macroeconomic arena and is independent of government influence.  His latest warning is ominous to say the least.  His latest headlines read:

> – Extremely Difficult Circumstances in the Year Ahead: Confluence of Economic and Systemic Crises Should Intensify
> – With Global Confidence in Dollar Rattled by Uncontrollable Fiscal and Monetary Excesses, U.S. Government and the Federal Reserve Have Limited Options to Address Panics
> – Heavy Selling of U.S. Dollar Remains Likely Proximal Trigger for Inflation Pick-Up
> – Developing Hyperinflation Would Push Ongoing Recession into Deep Depression
> – Physical Gold Remains Primary Hedge for Preserving Wealth and Asset

These are his opinions based on the raw statistics the government provides.  Government agencies massage the raw statistics to fit a political agenda whereas John calculates “apples to applies” with historic formulas once used by the government.  He believe those historic formulas provide an honest representation of the economic conditions.  I agree.

Stay nimble.  Get your Spiritual house in order.

Peak Oil Update

April 2nd, 2014

The following graph suggests that Peak Oil did occur around 2005.  Even though there is not much said about it, the issue still remains.  Fracking is only pulling what oil exists out of the ground faster and at a much higher cost.

Hindrances to the Fullness

April 2nd, 2014

Habitual, un-repented sin is a major block to your full maturity as a Son or Daughter to Our Heavenly Father.  It is also a block to your healing.  When you seek wisdom from Above, you have taken the first step to correct this roadblock to your training and preparation.  My responsibility to you is to tell you like it is according to the revelation given to me, knowing that I don’t have all the revelation.  But Our Heavenly Father knows my heart and knows that I will ultimately take the necessary action, speak the words needed for the time, and/or write the required blog to address issues among the brethren.  Your responsibility is to Love me whether you have a witness to what I am writing or not.  If you get offended then you need another dose of HIS Love.  Are you “all in” or not?

If there is one topic that people really don’t want to be convicted of, it is their money.  Over the years, I have seen families come apart over “potential” inheritance.  When an elderly parent dies, the children typically want to know what their inheritance is… now.  I have seen adult children comb through the parent’s house looking for cash stashed in books and other subtle places.  Times like this quickly reveal the character of a person.  Everyone wants a windfall of cash.

Are you robbing Our Heavenly Father in tithes and offerings?  Is HIS storehouse full or empty?  Do you care if it is empty?  Does it upset you for me to even ask the question?  Of course, I am not thrilled about writing a blog on what is probably the most sensitive topic among the brethren.  The good news is that my family doesn’t rely on your tithes or offerings, HE has sufficiently provided for us.  Those who do rely on contributions will typically stay away from this topic for fear of losing donors.  At any rate, our hearts must be exposed to the subtleness of this sin.  Until the topic of money is dealt with, we can’t expect to reach the fullness of maturity as a Son or Daughter.  Paul was willing to deal with this topic in 2 Corinthians 9:

6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

What is your fruit saying to you?  Sparing or bountiful?

7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

If you respond grudgingly to this writing then “forget it”, don’t write the check.  Do us all a favor and keep your money.  Our Heavenly Father doesn’t actually need the money anyway.  The fact is, you need to get the revelation of giving.  One who gives grudgingly doesn’t have the revelation of blessing from Above.  That person doesn’t think that Our Heavenly Father will act on his or her behalf.  That lack of revelation is a hindrance to the fullness.  In this Scripture, Paul is revealing a revelation to those who have ears to hear.  A cheerful giver is blessed by Our Heavenly Father:

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 9 As it is written:

​​​“He has dispersed abroad,

​​He has given to the poor;

​​His righteousness endures forever.”

​10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, 11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God

Servias Ministries now has an eight year track record as a storehouse for Our Heavenly Father.  HE had me set this organization up for you, not me.  We will continue receive HIS tithes and offerings and distribute as directed by HIM.  HE is the One who supplies seed and bread, not us.  We are simply one of HIS means for you to give and overcome the “love of money”.

Cheerful givers may contribute to this storehouse at:

Servias Ministries, Inc.

PO Box 1471

Bethany, OK 73008

or give by credit card at:  www.unity153.net

Obviously, we are not the only storehouse HE is using.  Do you still Love me?

Reasoning in your hearts

April 1st, 2014

In Mark 2, Jesus returned to Capernaum and healed the paralytic men.  The faith of the four men carrying him provided the basis for his healing:

1 And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 2 Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.

5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” (NKJV)

Capernaum is a reference to the Feast of Pentecost, it’s name infers “home of the Holy Spirit”.  Capernaum is a compound Hebrew word. Kaphar means “atonement, covering, shelter” and can be applied to a town, a place of shelter. Nacham means “comfort, consolation” with all of its Hebrew implications in the prophecies of the Holy Spirit and His work.  Pentecost is the “faith” aspect of hope, faith, and Love mentioned by Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:13-

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.   (NKJV)

In the progression of maturity, your faith must grow to a level of exceeding great faith.  Jesus made it quite clear that no faith, little faith, and great faith all existed in men.  Your level of faith is directly influenced by your ability to hear and respond to Our Heavenly Father’s words.  In this story, Jesus was preaching the Word directly received from Our Heavenly Father.  Surely the four men heard the Word and responded in faith by leaving and then returning with the paralytic man.  That in itself was an act of Love for the man.  They were convinced of the power of the Word to the point that they knew the man would be healed if they could get the attention of Jesus.  They went to extreme measures to make this happen.  Their faith was backed up by their actions, they were doers of the Word.

The scribes in attendance questioned Jesus’ ability to forgive sins.  They understood the letter of the Law but did not understand the Divine Intent of the Law- Love.  The Law was given to provide a path to restoration, no matter what the circumstance.  Are you reasoning in your heart based on facts or are you listening to Our Heavenly Father’s words of revelation.  Knowledge without understanding does not produce healing and restoration.  Love provides the path to revelation in the works of the Holy Spirit.  Your reasoning can become a hindrance to the power and authority imparted by Our Heavenly Father to HIS remnant.

Preparation of the Remnant

March 31st, 2014

Our Bible study continues to focus on the maturity of the Remnant.  Paul spoke of this Remnant:

Romans 9:

5 Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

7 What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

The Remnant is chosen by grace, not works.  The rest of the people are blinded to the revelation of the Remnant.  They continue to receive their consolation in other areas.  Their unwillingness to take on the sufferings of Christ is one such consolation.  Be warmed, be filled…

As we mentioned in our Bible study yesterday, when the tests and trials come, you should not ask Our Heavenly Father to remove you from the trial, but instead you should seek HIS Wisdom to take you through the trial to the other side.  That act will mature you.  Removal delays the maturing process.  Jesus dealt with adversity throughout His earthly ministry.  The Remnant will be subjected to the same in preparation for its full commissioning.  The rest will simply walk out their lives in some state of blindness.

2 Kings 19:

30 ​​’And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah

​​Shall again take root downward,

​​And bear fruit upward.

31 ​​For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant,

​​And those who escape from Mount Zion.

​​The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.’

Zeal is defined as: great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective.  Our Heavenly Father is raising a Remnant who have been “taking root downward”.  Deep roots of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge are preparing those who are fully committed to establishing HIS Kingdom on this earth.  HE is directing the steps of those who have ears to hear and eyes to see.  Those are the ones who have removed all resistance to HIS training and preparation.  They have given up their worldly citizenship in order to become citizens of the Kingdom.

Much has been said of the 15 year Hezekiah factor:

2 Kings 20:

1 In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’ ”

2 Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,3 “Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 And it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 5 “Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the LORD.6 And I will add to your days fifteen years.

Several of us celebrated the 2000th Birthday of Jesus at Port Austin, Michigan on September 11th, 1999.  It was at the time of the fall feasts.  We are now 15 years later and the Remnant is being prepared.  Could this year be the year of commissioning and full manifestation?  If so, great!  If not, we will continue the path to maturity awaiting Our Heavenly Father’s further instructions.

Your Focus

March 30th, 2014

Romans :8:5 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. (NASB)

How simple is it to make a determination of where you are in your walk!  Simply look at what your focus is: things of the flesh or things of the Spirit.  Your focus moves you toward where you will spend your time and resources.  What is the focus of your casual conversation?  What are your preferences?  Even when you are working, are you serving mankind or are you grudgingly doing the minimum to get a paycheck?  Do you focus on presenting yourself as a humble but joyful representative of Our Heavenly Father or do you project an air of entitlement, expecting others to exalt you in some manner?

8:6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

The ultimate result of placing your focus on the Spirit is life and peace and it will keep you sustained in the times ahead.  Jesus taught us about progression in our area of focus:

Mark 4:24 Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given. 25 For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”  (NKJV)

If you say you are too busy to focus on the Kingdom, you are half correct- you are too busy with things that ultimately don’t matter.  Those things will probably wither away or be burned up at some point anyway.  My neighbor built a workshop and filled it full of tools.  Now his disease has made him too frail to work in the shop.  This summer, he expects to have an auction and sell all the tools.  Was it worth it?  Only if he ministered life to others.  Otherwise, it was simply a waste of time and money.  Was working in his shop the essence of a temporal reward in lieu of the greater reward in Heaven?  Only he and Our Heavenly Father know for sure.

8:7 because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,

The carnal mind, ego, or “false self” is hostile toward Our Heavenly Father and HIS Laws of Love.  It can’t love because it is filled with self-preservation and self-satisfaction.  There is no focus on others.  It can’t promote life because it has taken you down the path of death.  Love overcomes this alternate path and our foundation must be on Love.  Wisdom without Love is a worldly wisdom and is temporary and fleeting at best.

8:8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Whether a servant or a son, you should be interested in pleasing Our Heavenly Father.  A mature son takes on HIS nature which is the essence of pleasing HIM.  That is the son who will be given the inheritance to continue to promote the life of the family.  The Kingdom on earth will be established by mature sons and daughters who are not serving their flesh by have their focus firmly directed to the things of the Spirit.  By the way, you can be focused on these things as you carry out your daily duties.  You will be blessed with greater productivity as you do.

Truth in the Economies

March 29th, 2014

In Tokyo, there are people waiting in three hour lines to buy gold.  They see a train wreck coming to their economy.  Michael Pento was erased this week from a CNBC financial market clip because of his assessment that the Fed is insolvent.  John Williams of shadowstats.com reported:

“There has been no economic recovery since the crisis broke almost eight years ago, there is no recovery pending, and official economic reporting likely is turning down anew.  Accordingly, economic reporting in the month ahead should be increasingly negative and distressing to the domestic and global financial markets.’’

To subscribe to John’s newsletter: www.shadowstats.com/subscribe

Japan’s debt load is ever-increasing.  The same is true for the United States.  The 100 year experiment using a central bank went awry when the powers that be left the gold standard.  That is the day they disconnected from “truth”.  Why?  Currencies could now be manipulated by men in a “self-interest” fashion.  Thus the ego of man controlled the financial affairs of the entire population.  Once again, men thought they knew better than Our Heavenly Father.  Sounds a little bit like the same motivation in the Garden of Eden.  Same song, different verse.

I report these events not to tickle your ears or provide small talk for parties.  I hope these realities will move you toward a closer relationship with Our Heavenly Father.  There are many credible men who have the same concern as mine in regards to the state of the current economic system.  The one thing nobody knows is exactly when and how the current system will disintegrate.  They all know in part.  Not one of them can comprehend the whole complexity of the current system.  Neither can those who are currently in power.  There is only One who can fully grasp how the entire system is currently operating… Our Heavenly Father.  HE is the only One WHO can navigate you and me into safety as the current system falls into complete disarray.  None of us should be led by fear of the coming events however they unfold.  Our trust should be based on our relationship with Our Heavenly Father.  Suicides of bankers around the world are now in epic proportions.  Their trust in money to keep them above the law has failed them.  Their world is coming to an end.  They opted for the coward’s way out.  The empty promises of greed were realized.

The geopolitical picture is getting ugly as well.  The U.S. is once again threatening to use economic weapons of mass destruction.  I am not optimistic about the path they are on.  It definitely looks like they are playing into the historic demise of Mystery Babylon, without any conscious intentions of course.  Men’s greed and egos have once again moved towards destruction of an economic system.  This time however, the system is truly global.  Never before has there been such a far-reaching scenario with the advent of technology.  There are no truly isolated economies now.  There is nowhere to run and hide.  In HIS Wisdom, Our Heavenly Father placed you right where you are at.  You should rely on HIM to guide you through the economic minefield ahead.

Observing the Feasts

March 28th, 2014

Deuteronomy 16:16 “Three times a year all your males shall appear before the LORD your God in the place which He chooses: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles; and they shall not appear before the LORD empty-handed.17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you.  (NKJV)

Jesus observed the Feasts, so should we.  None of us should come empty-handed.  Every man shall give as he is able.  Some have money, some have hospitality, and others have time.  Whatever you have, you should be willing to share it with the brethren during this coming feast.  Are you a giver or a taker?  It would appear that the above commandment is looking for givers.  Are you too busy?  There is a parable that addresses that very issue:

The Parable of the Great Supper

Luke 14:15 Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!”

16 Then He said to him, “A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, 17 and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’ 18 But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’19 And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’ 20 Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ 21 So that servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.’22 And the servant said, ‘Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.’23 Then the master said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24 For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.’ ”

I’m not writing this to make you feel guilty.  It is my responsibility to make you aware of the opportunity to walk according to HIS Divine Intent.  If you only observe the feasts as a duty, you are missing the point.  The Feasts are about expressing Love and honoring Our Heavenly Father Who has provided us the path to life and the fullness of the revelation of Love.  Our Heavenly Father Loves a cheerful giver.  Don’t view the coming feast as another required task by an unloving creator, view it as an opportunity to express Love and gratitude for HIM sending HIS Son to bring forth Life to each and every one of us.

By the way, the work and other “To Do’s” will still be there after the completion of the Feast.  They may get easier as a result of honoring Our Heavenly Father.  That has been my experience.

Insolvent Central Bank

March 27th, 2014

According to financial expert Jim Rickards, the Federal Reserve Bank’s leverage is currently 80 to 1, a truly insolvent condition.  For each dollar they have, there are 80 dollars of liability.  He expects the dollar to drop 80 to 90 percent in value.  On a relative basis, gold will appear to go up in value.  Silver is expected to do the same.

Jim is adamant that the collapse of the dollar is coming.  This is not the end of the world, just the U.S. Dollar.

The Fed is not transparent so there is no way to predict how severe their situation really is.  The top five banks who were at risk in 2008 are now bigger and riskier than they were then.  There are less community banks now than there were in 2008 thus the system’s risk is more concentrated.  In addition, other major countries such as Russia, are threatening to dump the dollar as their standard payment medium.  You can see why Obama is so vocal about Putin.  I believe it is really about protecting the dollar’s reserve status.  Obama is charged with keeping the party going as long as possible.

All the major central banks have the same problem.  Their rationalization is that they can simply print more money.  The problem is that as they print more money, inflation heats up to a potentially “hyper” state.  Gold keeps everyone honest because you can’t just go create more to accommodate your policy.  $8,000 to $10,000 gold is not an unreasonable expectation.  It isn’t that gold’s value is up, the value of the dollar will go down further.  It is all about protecting purchasing power.

How long do we have before the dollar collapses in value?  What will precipitate the destruction the dollar?  The reality is that we have an unstable complex system.  Only Our Heavenly Father knows the one event that will trigger the domino effect of financial destruction.  Sixty year financial veteran Richard Russell says:

“In the investment world, of course, peace of mind is a particularly rare commodity.  The rise in the stock market since its 2009 low has now exceeded five years.  Common sense tells us that the longer an advance continues, the nearer it is to its conclusion.  In the low area of 2009, fear was the dominant emotion.  As the advance pushes into its sixth year, fear has given way to boldness and greed.  On this thesis alone, I have elected to move out of common stocks.  After long consideration, I have concluded that the area I prefer to be in is pure wealth.

By pure wealth, I mean physical silver and gold.  That’s my best advice for subscribers today. “  To subscribe to his newsletter: https://ww2.dowtheoryletters.com/ServicesOnline.nsf/Subscription+Form?OpenForm

The system is now so unstable that the collapse can occur at any time.  There is no need to be afraid of this event.  Simply prepare as best you can.  Maintain extra food supply and rotate it.  Buy gold and/or silver as you can afford it.  Keep enough cash available in case there is a bank holiday.  Stay liquid.  Revenue producing agri-land is always a good investment if you have sufficient liquidity otherwise.  Minimal monthly obligations will also provide for weathering the coming financial event.  Most of all, be Spiritually prepared.  Those who hear Our Heavenly  Father will be guided through these times in peace.  Others will be looking to you since their world has collapsed.  They will need assurance that they will survive and you will be able to direct their attention to Our Heavenly Father, their Creator.
