America Is Imploding, Like A House Made of Cards!



11/25/08

Yesterday morning the Lord spoke to my heart that this nation of America is imploding, and we are not even aware of it. It has become like a house of cards in the hands of the Lord.

Then today I ran accross this article on Drudge Report which shows how our enemies are aware of our condition when many of us are not: http://www.drudgereport.com/flashrur.htm

I feel led to re-post this blog from last year, because I believe that it is revelant to this article on Drudge also.

A Vision For The Future of America (origonally posted 11/25/07)

While browsing the news on the internet a few years back, my eyes hit on a particular headline in regards to our military here in America. It said they are wanting to raise the age for recruits because they are short on enlistees.

I also saw a program note on the fact that more girls than boys are now being born.

However it was the spot on the military than triggered my memory.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of a vision that God gave an elderly lady in a church I used to attend.

In April of 1992 I was approached by Dorothy (now deceased) and she presented me with the following that she had written down for me:

To whom ever cares for our great country, I have experienced a very disturbing vision. I’ve tried to draw a rough sketch of it.

I saw to the left in my vision a defeated uncle Sam, presenting a silver tray in the shape (map) of our great United States of America (including in some way all 50 states).

On the tray was many, many aborted babies with hats on their heads - military, navy, Army, air force, green berets, nurses caps doctors, what else if any I did not see.

Also an Abortionist Dr. in his left hand he had an aborted baby by it’s feet. In his right hand a sharp pointed knife, both dripping with blood.

His pockets were bulging with money which was on the ground about him.

To the right was the grinning evil face of Saddam Hussein and the greedy faces of men with hands filled with money. Mostly oriental. I wish I could draw it, and I’ve tried. A large caption or wording above was “America is Doomed”!

Who is going to protect and keep America Free? Our future protectors are slaughtered by so called Doctors and their own mothers. Money crazed Americans are eager to sell our Country. When their money is spent, their wealth extended - left with No freedom! What then?

On her sketch (which I still have) among other things Dorothy wrote:

Fifteen or twenty years from now perhaps sooner! Who is going to grant protection and freedom for our county? Our defenders are being presented for slaughter to greedy murderers. Our enemies are waiting to buy their way in and over take our great land.

I don’t think even Dorothy realized just how prophetic and how true this vision was. I would challenge you to do internet searches on the following: abortion stat’s, military shortage, nursing shortage, doctor shortage, and American companies owned by red china. You will be surprised what you find. End Quote

Saints prepare yourselves for what is ahead, draw near to God, stand for JESUS while you still have the time.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?


What is in a Name?

I heard the expression recently while watching a public testimony by a public personality, on publicly broadcast television, “When I came to the faith”.
As I watched and listened, and waited, I asked myself "Faith in what?" "Faith in who? "

What is in a name?

I thought to myself,
If someone is watching this person as I am watching them, are they asking the same questions I am asking myself?”

I was troubled in my spirit, troubled for this young man, as much as for those who were perhaps lost, and watching and listening to him as I was.

It seems that men are not afraid to speak the name of “God”, religions and cults alike speak the name of “God”.
There is no reproach in speaking the name of “God” in this day and hour.
Some even believe that we all serve the same “God”.

Neither is there any reproach in speaking of “Faith” even the heathen speak of "Faith".
The feel good crowd tell us to have “Faith” in ourselves.

What is the name that men are hesitant and some afraid to speak of?

JESUS

Why is it so?
Well many it seems are afraid of the reproach that comes when we speak His name?
His name is not accepted with the media, or the world.

When we want to be accepted by the world we keep His name to ourselves, we play it slow and easy so as not to offend any. Saints we don't have time to play it slow and easy!

Yes His name is an offense to many.
It has been an offense to many down through the ages, and it is no different today.

Most all the world knows of who you speak, when you speak the name of JESUS, the name that is above all names!

The name in which many have been willing to give their lives, JESUS

Who gave His life that we might be saved? JESUS

Who is the redeemer of mankind? JESUS

Who is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords? JESUS

Who is our soon coming King? JESUS

At whose feet are all knees to bow? JESUS

At whose feet are all tongues to confess that He is Lord? JESUS

Matthew 10:22-JESUS said:
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

For the sake of HIS name, the name of JESUS.
Saints we must be willing to be hated by all the world for His name's sake.
If we seek to please the world and be accepted of the world we will not be accepted of JESUS.

Saints in this day, and in this hour, we don’t have time to keep quiet about His name, we need to speak it boldly in Faith, for it is He who is going to be our shield, our strength, our provider and our shelter in the days to come.
It is JESUS whom we will stand before in that day, so let us be bold in exclaiming the most Holy name of JESUS!
Let us not be ashamed to speak His name, ever!

Mark 8:38-JESUS said:
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.


Saints may we all witness in boldness and truth while we yet have the daylight. For the hour is coming in which no man can work! Let us pray for one another that we might all hear the words, "Well done my good and Faithful Servant, enter thou into the joy of the Lord"

The Heavens Declare The Glory of Our God!!



Dwarf Irregular Galaxy











Oh How Mighty is our God!



Star Forming Region
To view more awesome photos from the Hubble telescope that show the Glory of our God: http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2008/38/image/a/format/web_print/
Psalms 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handywork.
Psalms 97
The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
Remember dear saints He who made all things is able to keep us in the days to come, Glory to His Holy Name!

False Prophet Kim Clement-And My People Love To Have It So!


Jeremiah 5:25-31

Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.

28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;

31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

Why do people want to run to men like Kim Clement, Dutch Sheets, Lou Engle, Peter Wagner, Cindy Jacobs and all the rest?

What is it in them, that desires to seek out these false prophets to give them a Word?

Is God not sufficient, is His Word not enough?

Ahhh...they all reaffirm for the people that their kingdoms are not going to come to an end, they won't have to give up their place in this world, they will take back the world, and subdue it. After all Jesus is not coming back for decades, not until we have subdued the earth on His behalf, Oh...I see!

The Spiritual Shell Game -Selling The Soul Of A Nation For Mammon

Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury Robert Kimmitt.

While many have been consumed with Obamas victory, the powers that be have been at work attempting to sell the soul of our nation for mammon to "save" the "Worlds" economy. The United States Treasury has agreed to study Shariah Law (MUSLIM LAW).

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/nov/04/treasury-submits-to-shariah/

"The U.S. government is currently studying the salient features of Islamic banking to ascertain how far it could be useful in fighting the ongoing world economic crisis." Quoted from article

Go to the washington times link and read for yourselves.

Here is a link to another aspect of Shariah law: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=80733

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12

Saints this is all happening under George Bush, the "Christian" president who it was prophesied by some was going to stop abortion, now is our president also going to allow the selling of the soul of this nation for mammon?

While we were all occupied with Obama the shells were being shifted under our noses. We are a blind nation because we have turned our backs on the Most High God. Soon we shall be serving strangers in a land that is no longer ours.

I want you to listen to Crosstalk radio in particular their show from Nov 7th 2008: http://www.sliceoflaodicea.com/crosstalk/crosstalk-today-alert/

Saints I don't share these things to trouble you but rather to exhort you to awaken you to the day and hour in which were are living. We are in the last of the last days saints, look up your redemption drawth nigh. Get ready for the worst on this earth, but keep your eye on the goal. We are in our birth pangs saints, our birth pangs into eternity. Hold fast saints of God!

I thank a dear sister, who God has made a watchman, for bringing my attention to these things in regards to our government.

And Because You Are Luke Warm I Shall Spew You Out Of My Mouth

Birds of a feather flock together is what grandma used to say.

Behold Robert Schuller and Billy Graham discuss the broad road that leads to Heaven!

There is no other name under heaven by which men may be saved! Jesus Christ is the way the only way the only truth and the only life, and no man comes to God but by Him.

There is a wideness to Gods Mercy Mr Schuller, but Jesus said:

Matthew 7:13-14

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Church Wake Up And Smell The Java!



Ahhhhhhh.. saints, it concerns me that I see Americans, and the world, under strong denial and delusion.
What is even more concerning to me, is the denial and delusion, I am starting to see within the thing that calls itself the Church. "Just pray” they say, “and we can change the way Obama thinks”…as grandma used to say, “Wishful thinking my dear”.
Listen saints, God has given the world just what it has been crying for, “A King,”
and currently they are jubilant, they are ecstatic, they are beside themselves with joy. However their laughter and their joy shall be turned into mourning.
People believe it is the governments job to take care of them, no it is God's job.
People want to have their mammon, they love their mammon, well you can not serve two masters.
The church has also been crying, over the prospect of loosing its worldly goods, its man made kingdoms, and its influence over the sheep. So what are they doing, they are begging the sheep to pray, so God will change His mind, so they can hold fast to this world.
God allowed plenty of warnings before the election of this man, and people refused to acknowledge them, they kept their heads firmly planted in the sand. They refused to hear.
My grandma used to say, "Show me your friends and I'll tell you what you are!"
Well God showed us Obama's friends, unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, Racist Jeremiah Wright, New age prophetess Oprah Winfrey...to name a few, and would we heed His warnings...NO!
Do you know that 43% of Christians voted for this president elect? They wanted to save their mammon. They see him as their messiah, their ever present help in time of trouble. Oh and they are in trouble alright...with God Almighty, the Most High!

I thought that the blessed hope for the church was the return of Jesus Christ to rule and reign upon this earth. However it seems that for many in the Church that is not the case. They would rather He postpone His return so that they can get their full of the world.
Their problem is they can’t let go of the world, nor the things of the world, they are hanging on with all their might.
I truly believe they will even call for the saints to pray away the anti-Christ….no I am not saying at this point who the anti-Christ is…but in essence that is what they are doing. Everyone wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die to get there!
Why do the saints of God not groan to be with their saviour as His disciples did?
Oh how the mind set of the saints has changed:
2 Corinthians 5:1-8
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Ahhhhhhh…I once had an assemblies of God pastor tell me (during a discussion on the end times) “Who do you think you are, we don’t even have to have an Antichrist we can just pray and believe and take authority and hold him back”
Ahhhh…saints just who do we think we are? The Word of God shall be fulfilled, He has forewarned us of this day, He has a plan, He has all authority, and He shall bring it to pass.
We are living in the last of the last days saints and the sooner we drop the denial the better off we will be. Look saints it doesn’t thrill my flesh, the hour in which we are living, but saints my soul rejoices … because I know my Savior lives and He is soon to return.

I give you a quote from an e-mail I received just today, actually via two dear friends of mine.
This quote is in the context of some wanting God to change Obama’s heart. This is a worthy goal I must say. However the man is a socialist, and has plans to enslave us all, men, women and children, to the government. To attempt to pray to change the mans heart so we can remain in our current condition is in denial of the day and hour in which were living. It is I believe praying against God's will. ".......the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will." Daniel 4:32 God doesn't make mistakes!!!
Quote:
“So, dear friend, it is not a time to despair; it is time to pray with vision and with hope. If all you see is a "cloud the size of a man's hand," then pray with the faith of Elijah that a mighty outpouring of grace may fall. Let us give God the chance to bring into our world a blessed, prayed-for reality." End Quote

What is that reality-a better world?
Listen that cannot come to pass until Jesus comes, wake up and smell the Java saints of God!!!
Don't allow yourselves to be deceived by these false prophets who speak such warm words to you.
Pray the will of God come to pass not our will, pray the will of God be done not our will.

Is God Right Just Some of The Time?

Election Prophecy (False) Julie Meyers False Prophetess.

This false Prophetess would like you to believe that God is right some times and wrong other times...excuse me? Saints if God speaks a prophecy through you it is going to be 100% correct, not 99.9% but 100% correct and what He says shall come to pass.

Meditation As The Bible Teaches It

















This blog has been inspired by a comment I received to a blog I did in September Titled
“Hinduism, Roman Catholicism, and The International House of Prayer.”
http://justtomakeyouthink.blogspot.com/2008/09/hindusim-roman-catholicsm-international.html

The following comments from an anonymous individual on that particular blog, have been edited.
Quote from anonymous:
“Contemplative prayer has been around before the institution of Hinduism. Mediation is a Christian discipline. Have you read “blank’s” book on Christian disciplines? End Quote

Contemplation: The act of considering with attention: Study, the act of regarding steadily, as in:
2nd Timothy 2: 15
15Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

We are to pray in the Spirit, (meaning the Holy Spirit) and pray with the understanding also (of His Word and His will.) One cannot pray in the Spirit however if one does not have of His Spirit. If one has not of His Spirit they are none of His.

Quote from anonymous :
These practices are are rich part of Christian practice which were forfeited then counterfeited by the Adversary.
A major Protestant who is discovering this is “Blank”. Look for his book. He is a PCA pastor. End Quote

I would strongly suggest that a child of God go to the Word of God when seeking to understand the Biblical meaning of meditation, not to some book a man has written on the subject.
To meditate in the Biblical sense of the word = means to ponder the truths of Gods Word.
Ponder = means to weigh in your mind, think about quietly, soberly and deeply. It means to reflect deeply and take to heart what the Word of the Lord is saying to you.
Meditate in the scriptural sense = means to think on the Word of God in your mind and study and memorize and hide it in your heart.

Psalm 119:11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Quote from anonymous :
I was a sceptic of Christian spirituality (contemplatives)as I hold three degrees. By God's grace I see the power of apostolic prayer and intercession.
I was dry empty and made no impact with my knowledge, not I feel alive and and impact my community.
"May God make the light of His countenance shine on you." Sound mystical? (its found in Numbers 6).” End Quote

Numbers 6:22-27 is not intended to sound “mystical”.
It was a blessing that was to be bestowed upon the children of Israel by the priests of God. It was bestowing the favor of God upon them, as long as they walked in His commandments.
Psalms 31:16 also speaks of Gods favor being requested by His servant David. As is
Psalms 67:1 in asking for God’s face to shine upon them they were seeking God’s favor upon them.

Galatians 1:6-9
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Biblical meditation means that we are to focus our thoughts and bring our minds into subjection and reflect on what the scripture is saying. Also how we are to apply it to our lives that we might grow thereby. It’s about learning of God and about drawing closer to God, by bringing our minds into subjection to Him and His Word. This is all so that we may learn how to manifest the character and nature of Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior.

Meditation for the Christian is not about relaxation, it’s not about going to your happy place, as you chant some magic word in order to get your self worked into a mystical stupor or trance, before you can meditate upon the Word of Truth.

Neither is it about seeking a prayer partner from amongst the dead. It is forbidden of God, for the child of God to seek to the dead for anything. It is not about seeking God to manifest himself in bodily form before you.
Neither is it of any consequence what bodily position you take in prayer, it is not about us being comfortable, rather about us being humble and truthful before God.

Neither is it as some would have you to believe, to go into a place of your own minds creation or imagination. The Word of God tells us to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against God.

Meditation of God’s Word is not intended to be some cultic out of body experience.

Psalm 119:97-104
O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

Precepts: A commandment issued by God to His children.
Jesus said if we love Him we will keep His commandments.

Psalm 19:14
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

God looks upon the heart, God knows the very thoughts and intents of our hearts.
He also knows that men's hearts are desperately wicked. We cannot trust our hearts we can only trust the written Word of God. We cannot trust every Spirit that comes along either, but we are to test the Spirits, to see they are of God.
1John 4:1-3
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
I would highly recommend against any child of God participating in any type of worldly meditation techniques lest they invite an ungodly spirit that they cannot rid themselves of.

America We Have Turned A Nation Against Its Own People



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eboT9yPVSo (Elisheva1)

This is a direct consecuence of our land for peace deal with Israel. God help Americans, because this will happen here in America, and we will say, "They can't do that can they." Be prepared because our police and our soldiers will cast us from our homes also in the days to come.
