Building a Spiritual Network versus a Social Network

August 2nd, 2012

Facebook, Linkedin, and other social networks provide Internet users the ability to share their social interests with others.  In some cases, it replaces face-to-face fellowship.  Taken to an extreme, the user will lose valuable social skills of reading the body language of others.  Social media should never be used to replace quality fellowship.

Unity153.net is intended to become a Spiritual Network.  It is intended to become an infrastructure to link those who are called to establish the Kingdom of Our Heavenly Father on earth.  As more people make the commitment to become an “aspiring overcomer” the Kingdom database will grow.  Within this informational database we will develop a clearinghouse of skill sets and callings as well as tangible assets committed to the Kingdom.  As the need arises, we will be able to match resources to needs.  A Kingdom Infrastructure will result.

We need to be in one accord, in unity, of like mind.  Moreover we each need to be identified among the brethren so that we can pool our resources when a Kingdom project arises.  Many of us get frustrated when we are not walking in the fullness of our calling.  By coming forth in unity and becoming part of a community, opportunities to operate in our calling will come forth.

Now is the time to come forth in unity.  We have been in somewhat of an isolated state by design.  We each needed to mature in the various aspects of our gifts, callings, and resources.  Though geographically separated, we now have the ability to network together through the Internet.  We now can communicate our agreement with Our Heavenly Father and our brethren.

Is Unity153.net complete?  No, it is in its infancy but we expect it to develop as our community of overcomers develop.  Those who have a heart to serve will gladly become a part of the Kingdom Infrastructure.

Due to the sensitive nature of our personal data, we opted to use our own servers and build the network ourselves using world class servers.  We could have simply signed up on one of the social networks.  These networks are supported by programmers and staff we do not know.  More important, we do not know their motivation.  The social networks are designed and expected to create profit.  Facebook generates billions in advertising revenue.  They must “serve” the dollar, we must serve Our Heavenly Father.

Glenn Beck on “Restoring Love”

August 1st, 2012

Unbeknownst to me until Saturday, Glenn Beck was holding a “Restoring Love” meeting at the Dallas Cowboy Football Stadium at the same time as our meeting at the Tree Farm in Minnesota.  It now appears that others are embracing the need to bring Love to the forefront:

http://www.glennbeck.com/2012/07/30/tens-of-thousands-serve-in-dallas-for-restoring-love-media-ignores/

Glenn focuses now on “serving” mankind.  This is exciting to me since I have been proclaiming this message since 2005.  Our Heavenly Father continues to move on people to focus on HIS core characteristic: Love!

The “Third Awakening” started in 2005.

144,144

July 31st, 2012

In Scripture, the number 144,000 represents the resurrected saints in Revelation.  The number 144 is the numerical value of Lazarus, the friend of Jesus from Bethany who was raised from the dead (“Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”).  Both numbers speak of a resurrected state where death has no sting.  Resurrection from the dead can happen on multiple levels: physical death, spiritual death, and death of the ego.  There are other aspects of resurrection that are beyond our understanding but the important fact is that death is not final nor eternal.  Lazarus’ body was already in the midst of decay when Jesus arrived to resurrect his body.  Love has command over death even when it appears to have advanced.

In September of 1995, the principality of death tried to attach itself to me at a funeral.  I felt the life being sucked out of me.  My wife looked at me and saw it happening.  I was turning grey.  I pleaded with the LORD and proclaimed I would not die in the middle of this funeral service.  We prayed for about 20 minutes and the principality of death departed.  In the next month I traveled to Minneapolis on business.  There I met the prophet Martin.  He was known for his prophetic ministry.  Our Heavenly Father had given him three visions about me and he wanted to share them at dinner.  After he shared the visions, I started to relay the story of the incident at the funeral.  Before I could however, he too had gone to a funeral in September.  The exact same thing had happened to him as well.  The Angel of The LORD spoke to him at that funeral and said “Martin, you shall live and not die.”  Then, the Angel of The LORD arrived at the restaurant immediately after he shared his story and said “Bob shall live and not die.”  Clearly I was thrilled at that Word.  However in November I attended another funeral in the early afternoon, an event I was not thrilled about based on the previous experience.  Once again the principality of death tried to attach itself to me.  This time I proclaimed the Word of The LORD to me and immediately the principality departed.  That was extremely good news!  Over the years I attended other funerals without incident… thankfully.

Fast forward to this year.  On May 9th, I was once again subject to imminent death.  While riding my bike, I was hit and should have been taken out by a full-size van based upon the laws of physics.  Instead, my angel pulled me away from the path of the van.  The third attempt by the principality of death to take my life failed.  I had not considered the brevity of the event until last week.  It was then that Our Heavenly Father told me that the three events were connected.  Am I special?  No more than the next guy.  What IS special is the revelation of Love coming forth.  This revelation is what the principality of death is desperate to prevent from coming forth.  Think about it.  Love sent Jesus to the cross and death could not reign over Him.

We are short-term thinking by nature.  I did not consider the connection of the events 16 years apart.  I was not aware that Our Heavenly Father would have me pursue this revelation of Love back then but it apparently was known in the Heavenlies.  Only when HE told me to connect the three events did I consider the brevity of my pursuit of the revelation of Love.  Our Heavenly Father told me to determine the elapsed time between the last two attempts on my life.  It turns out that there were 6,006 days between the two events.  Moreover there were 144,144 hours.  This sign in undeniable.  I am grateful to be alive to do my part in bringing forth what I believe to be the greatest revelation yet:  the revelation of Love.

Is WW III ahead?

July 31st, 2012

Syria continues to be on the forefront of network news.  You can step back and look at global power views and see what they want us focused on.  Do the globalists want us in another war?  Zero percent interest rates prevail since there is not enough consumption to bring the economy out of its true recession.  Both Iran and Syria are apparently destabilizing the Middle East and the U.S. will protect its energy interests.  The following chart shows that we are in unprecedented, uncharted area now:

The short-term American economy has been “fixed” by wars in the past only to see its economic health suffer in the long term.  Instability in other areas of the world cause a flight of capital to U.S. Dollars.  This bodes well for the current state where the U.S. Dollar is losing its reserve status.  The macroeconomic picture does not reflect recovery but instead it reflects substantial uncertainty that has no solution.  This would indicate that precious metals will be the insurance of choice.  There is so much sovereign debt out there that no central bank can afford to allow interest rates to rise.  Ultra low rates cause baby boomers and seniors to quit spending since they cannot see an improvement in cash flow on their investments/retirement income.  Both situations feed on each other.  Consumption based on a major war machine is one alternative.  Let us pray that this alternative is not sought to fix an ill-fated economy.

The Roaring 20’s turned into the dusty, dry 30’s

July 23rd, 2012

Did the lawlessness of the 1920’s correlate to the dust bowl and great depression of the 1930’s?  The anything goes attitude of a once righteous nation seemed to evoke a punishment in the 1930’s.  The abundance of sin and excess was well documented during that era.  It would appear that the current track of lawlessness far exceeds the 1920’s.  The moral fiber of the country has all but disintegrated.  The lust of the flesh, addictions to just about anything, and the arrogance of pride seem to be at epic proportions.  The following chart is compelling:

Reconciling American External Debt

July 23rd, 2012

Historically until President Nixon closed the gold window, the external debt of the United States was collateralized by gold owned by the U.S.  Nations knew that they could trade their dollars for gold upon request.  This created a stable and verified currency market.  Confidence in the U.S. Dollar was at 100% because other countries had that convertibility option.  Economic cycles of mild expansion and contraction were manageable.  The Vietnam war began to take its toll on the system.  Debts were piling up as the U.S. continued its attempt to assert its dominance in Asia.  France decided to exercise its right to exchange excess dollars and convert to gold.  Loss of confidence in America’s ability to manage its external debt led to this move.  Nixon responded by closing the gold window and letting the price of gold float rather than keeping at a fixed convertibility rate.  This was the beginning of the end of the dominance of the U.S. Dollar.

If you were to graph the relationship of the external debt to the “stated” gold reserves of the U.S., the following would result:

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e_aVL-qManI/UAvynUUB1hI/AAAAAAAAH5Q/U4YeZYsThBc/s1600/FDHBFIN.PNG

The external debt of the U.S. could be satisfied if the gold reserves were valued at $19,500 per ounce, a ten fold increase of the current price.  Which would a country rather hold, a piece of paper or an ounce of gold?  Which medium of exchange promotes confidence in future value?  Based on historical ratios, silver would demand $1,220 per ounce.  You can see why Our Heavenly Father encouraged a precious metal as a medium of exchange.  Man can’t manipulate it.

Living another day is better than dying tonight

July 19th, 2012

The following 21 minute video provides the reality of the Libor scandal.  We have blogged about the underlying issues for years now.  The scandal is causing the ugliness to surface and Former U.S. Assistant Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts explains the harsh reality- fraud will not be prosecuted at the highest levels.  From a Biblical perspective, lawlessness will prevail until judgment comes.  As the trust in the U.S. Dollar erodes further, people will seek out other investments to protect their wealth.  Only Our Heavenly Father knows when this will accelerate and create a hyper-inflationary environment for the Dollar.  New laws and Executive Orders have been put in place to combat the flight of wealth from America.  You can now understand why.  The risk of flight grows everyday and could create chaos once the average person really understands the brevity of the problem.

Beloved

July 18th, 2012

Matthew 17:5  While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.   KJV

We all should ask ourselves the question: Would Our Heavenly Father refer to me as His beloved Son?  We all want to be “sons of GOD” but do we want to be known as a beloved son?  If so, we must learn to walk in Love, not according to our flesh.  How can we walk in Love if we never focus on the subject?  My wife will tell you that over the last seven years I have moved toward the fullness of Love in my walk.  Why?  Because that is my focus.  Love changes you as you dwell and meditate on it.  By writing the books, I focus on the most important virtue that will outlast all other aspects of life- Love. 

If you want to become Love, you must spend time pursuing the revelation of Love.  You must read and study, you must dwell on HIS Words about Love, and you must practice responding and initiating in Love.  Will my book “Ascending to Love” complete your quest?  I don’t think so but it should point you in the right direction and encourage you to pursue the path of Love.  I receive a tremendous blessing when I write those chapters.  I probably need to read those words as much as anyone else.  Maybe that is why HE had me write the books.  I also want to be known as HIS beloved son.

I think they got the answer from Spanky and Our Gang.  Spanky lived in Oklahoma City in his later life.
