CLINTON FRUITS REVEALED IN BENGAZI REPORTS

Clinton fruits revealed in Benghazi report

The final Benghazi Committee report indicated then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lied to the public about the particulars of the terrorist attack and had an important hand in denying military assistance to embassy personnel during the attack. It took the Clinton campaign only moments to roll out a tried and true campaign tactic to discredit the findings. Clinton’s presidential campaign said that the 800-page report was a partisan conspiracy theory. Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon callously dismissed the report, saying, “this Committee’s chief goal is to politicize the deaths of four brave Americans in order to try to attack the [sic] administration and hurt Hillary Clinton’s campaign.” Nothing to see here, right? Wrong.

First and foremost, the report continued to confirm that the Administration in general, and Hillary Clinton specifically, lied to the public about the cause of the attack and who was responsible. The report documents the comments made in parallel with the actions known. Clinton and National Security Advisor Susan Rice told the public one story when they knew the truth. Furthermore, the truth of the Benghazi attacks-that it was terror-related and not a spontaneous reaction to an anti-Islam film-was covered up as a deliberate act that included the “president,” Clinton, Rice, and the White House public relations staff. They conspired to repeatedly lie to the American people in hopes of reshaping the political narrative.

Congressman Trey Gowdy’s letter summarizing the report states: “Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivered the only official statement from the U.S. government regarding the attacks. At the time the statement was released, the Secretary’s office had real-time information about the attacks from multiple sources…The Secretary’s statement included the line “[s]ome have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet”-a reference to the video. Nothing from the agents on the ground, or the Deputy Chief of Mission in Libya, mentioned anything about “inflammatory material posted on the Internet.” News articles did.

“The Secretary’s statement therefore began a series of public statements by senior administration officials over the next two weeks that conflated the attacks with the inflammatory material-despite a lack of intelligence or eyewitness accounts ever linking the two together.” The report also revealed that Clinton was uncooperative with the investigation and that more unsecured emails were discovered. Moreover, her actions allowed four Americans to die. This report alone should solidify in every American voter’s mind that Clinton is unfit for holding any public office. She is a liar, a conspirator and a lawbreaker. Jesus said in Matthew 7 there are many false prophets who wear sheep’s clothing, but are ravening wolves, “Wherefore, by their fruits you shall know them.” We know Clinton’s fruits, and that should be enough to ensure she holds no elective office.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

WORLD ON THE PROPHETIC BRINK

World on the Prophetic Brink 
Turkey is showing its radical Islamic roots by saying that it would prevent NATO

 from sharing important military information with Israel. 
Iran announced it has stopped oil sales to Britain and France.  Saudi Arabia said

 publicly that it would make up the difference. 
However, Saudi Arabia actually cut oil production in December. 
Russia is still arming Syria. And Feb. 19 Iran warships were in Syria. By all

 indicators, the stage is set for an Islamic inspired war, 
fueled by Russia, targeted at Israel, and catalyzed by Obama White House.

 Are we on the prophetic brink? 

All signs point to The Day of YHVH (the LORD). 

Whether this day is a literal day or an extended day, scholars are not sure. 
But most agree that this is the time when Yeshua Ha Mashiach 

(Jesus the Messiah) returns to reclaim the world and judge the

 enemies of YHVH (God). 
The nations in current headlines are consistently mentioned - 
Turkey (Magog, Meshech, Tubal, Gomar, Togarmah), Iran (Persia)

, Iraq, parts of Eastern Turkey (Assyria), Libya (Libya and Northern

 Africa), Syria, and others. 

And Thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to 

cover the land, it shall be in the latter days. 
Ezekiel 38:16 

Another prophecy is directly aimed at Damascus, Syria. Isaiah 17:1 
Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous 

heap. 
Some believe that Mecca/Saudi Arabia, is the Great Mystery Babylon

 characterized in Revelation 17 
Arabia (Islam) is in a wilderness (the desert), is drunk on the blood of 

the saints (Islam kills Christians worldwide), 
the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her and have

 been made drunk with the wine of her fornication 
(every current leader of a major nation has bowed to the King of Saudi

 Arabia, and the world is addicted to her oil). 
In the context of current events, this interpretation appears likely. 

Is the world on the prophetic brink?   
It is very close, however, there are many events that must happen

 before the Messiah returns. 
The rise of the antichrist, a peace treaty with Israel, wars and rumors 

f wars, insurmountable inflation, pestilences and famines. 
Things are going to get much worse. Yeshua (Jesus) said in Matthew 24:33 
when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 
There will be death, malaise and destruction as people are caught in the

 crossfire of these events prior to the return of the Messiah. 
People can rage against this all they want, but in the end, the eternal position

 of every human soul hangs in the balance.

What is Happening in many Calvary Chapels today.

                 WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MANY CALVARY CHAPELS TODAY!

Hello, God Bless you in the name of our great God and Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ. Welcome to the group. Everyone knows by now that our beloved pastor Chuck Smith has been taken home to be with the Lord.

We have all come to love his verse by verse, through the bible teachings on the whole counsel of God. We have been abundantly blessed and consistently fed a well balanced diet of God's written word. Pastor Chuck has often quoted the apostle Paul's warning in the book of Acts 20:28-31 which says :

28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

It is our desire that the blessings of sound doctrine continue throughout the Calvary Chapel movement, which brings us to the reason this group was created.

Since pastor Chuck's departing, certain wolves of the Emergent Church have managed to blend in with the leadership at Calvary Costa Mesa.

Rick Warren, who is a 20 year follower of business management guru Peter Drucker, has successfully convinced many Christian church pastors throughout the United States, including several in the Calvary Chapel movement, that the post modern generation will not be convinced of the gospel unless the churches make his recommended " seeker sensitive " changes that result in a major compromise of the word of God. These changes transform the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ into a false, counterfeit gospel. The apostle Paul says that anyone who brings " another jesus " and another gospel will be accursed.

For some time now, there has been a subtle effort by the leadership at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, including Brian Brodersen and Greg Laurie to build bridges that will steer the flock of all Calvary Chapels down the Emergent Church road that is " purposely driven" , pun intended, by Rick Warren.

At the present time, there are only visible hints of this taking place. These hints include Rick Warren showing up at Calvary Chapel supported events, including the Harvest Crusade, a guest appearance on the Pastor's Perspective call in radio show, and pastor Chuck's tribute recently held at the Anaheim Pond. Mark Driscoll, another emergent church speaker who has been exposed for his heresies is also being included in the mix.

Also, Calvary Costa Mesa staff, including board members, who speak against the Emergent church have been terminated by Brian Brodersen and replaced with emergent church supporters. Once Brian Brodersen has made his strategic changes to the Calvary Costa Mesa staff, he can then begin to change the doctrine taught at the pulpit. It's only a matter of time.

All we know at this time is what we can observe. Calvary Chapel, a very sound doctrinal teaching church, is in clear violation of the apostle Paul's instructions in 1 Thessalonians 5:22, and giving the appearance of evil by allowing these wolves in sheep's clothing to blend in with their flock. Instead of a fellowship with these men, they should exposing them as directed in Ephesians 5:11.

The goal of the group is to help each other understand why Rick Warren and the Emergent Church agenda is part of the coming Anti Christ's one world religion that is designed to unite all religious beliefs. The evidence of this is seen in Rick Warren's attempts to bring Christians and Muslims together and establish unity in their beliefs, and since Islam denies that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, as well as His virgin birth, and His death on a cross for our sins, there are absolutely no beliefs between biblical Christianity and Islam that are worthy of uniting.

Several heretical teachers who claim to be Christians have joined Rick Warren in signing a blasphemous document that goes so far as to declare that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. This satanic document is called " A Common Word " and it can be seen at the following link. http://www.acommonword.com/

Rick Warren's book, The Purpose Driven Life, is filled with anti-biblical teachings that have no business being taught to followers of Jesus Christ. We want Calvary Chapel to continue doing what they do best, teaching the entire counsel of God's word and have no fellowship with these unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them so the flock will be on the alert.

If the Calvary Costa Mesa leadership continues to head down the Purpose Driven / Emergent path, it's only a matter of time before we can say goodbye to Calvary Chapel as we have known it. This is a very serious issue that must be addressed because sooner or later, it will effect the entire Calvary Chapel movement.

We need to be in daily prayer, as well as fasting when you can, for the Lord to either wake up Brian Brodersen to the error of his ways, or to bring in another pastor who will continue the sound doctrine that God has provided for the flock all these years through pastor Chuck. We also need the Lord' to guide our efforts in exposing this agenda, and to warn the flock to examine the evidence that is available.

The rules are basic and simple.

1. Seasoned & graceful speech
2. Be nice to each other.
3. No personal attacks.
4. Tell the truth in love.
5. If and when a disagreement arises in the comments, take the time to listen to each side and try to reach a truthful / biblical conclusion.
6. Share information with the group that you may have on exposing the Emergent church agenda.

Warning !!! Be prepared for major spiritual warfare. Be prepared for many to be offended at this exposure of Brain Brodersen , Rick Warren,Mark Driscoll and their fellow Emergents. The enemy does not want this group to operate and will do what he can to cause trouble for those involved.

***** This is a serious situation for the Calvary Chapel movement that will require watchmen on the wall to sound the trumpet because the enemy is literally inside the door of the house *****

I challenge you to examine the evidence that is available at several sources. Please watch this video titled " The Church Of Tares " as part of your examination of the Emergent church and it's agenda.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxY3VbBHTkY

I will be listing books that are endorsed by Emergent church leaders that you want to steer clear from. Some of these books will also show endorsements from certain Calvary Chapel pastors that you may not be aware of.

Any book by the following people should be avoided. Also include any book that is endoresed by these people as well because the book will have Emergent doctrine.

The names to watch out for include : Rick Warren, Mark Driscoll, Bob Buford, Peter Drucker, Brian McLaren, Rob Bell, Tony Jones, Bill Hybels, Robert Schuller. ...More names will be included as I get them.

1. Cure For The Common Life : Max Lucado. Endorsements include Emergent Church player Bob Buford as well as Bob Coy of Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdale. Check the link for info on why Max Lucado is becoming very questionable. www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/blog/?m=201204

2. Embracing Your Second Calling : Dale Hanson Bourke. Endorsements include Lynne Hybells, wife of Willow Creek founder Bill Hybells

Emergent church locations to avoid are :

Saddleback Church , Lake Forest CA.
Willow Creek Community Church , South Barrington Illinois.
The Crystal Cathedral , Garden grove CA.

Author unknown

When GOD solves our problems, we have faith in HIS abilities.  When GOD
doesn't solve our problems HE has faith in our abilities.         God's accuracy
may be observed in the hatching of eggs. . . . .

 

-those of the canary in 14 days;

-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;

 

-eggs of ducks and geese in 28 days;

 

-those of the mallard in 35 days;

 

-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days. (Notice, they are
all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!)

------------------- 

God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant. . . .
-The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction.

 

- No other quadruped is so made.

 

- God planned that this animal would have a huge body too large to live on
two legs.

 

- For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the
ground easily.

---------------- 

-The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first.

 

- A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first.

 

How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation!

 

-Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind.

 

-Each orange has an even number of segments.

 

-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.

 

- Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.

 

-Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of  bananas,
and  each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the
next row an odd number.

 

-The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in  all
kinds of weather.

 

-All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks.

 

God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during
the day. Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said that if he had a
conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature, he
could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and those
that were closed.

 

The lives of each of us may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way for
His glory, if we will only entrust Him with our life. If we try to regulate
our own life, it will only be a mess and a failure.

 

Only God, who made our brain and heart, can successfully guide them to a
profitable end.

 

I pray God blesses you in ways you never even dreamed.

 

When you carry "the Bible", Satan has a headache; when you open it, he
collapses;

 

When he sees you reading it, he loses his strength, and when you stand on
the Word of God, Satan can't hurt you! And did you also know..
that when you are about to forward this email to others, the devil will
probably try to discourage you, but do it anyway.

 

Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point.

GOD IS AGAPE

God is Agape

Pure love is Agape:
I am writing this to a group of young people whom I dearly love. I will not mention names as this should speak to all of us young and old alike.
We are living in a world in which we look to the young for the future. There was always a time that we did this we knew when I was young that the day would come where we would be the ones who made many of the choices that would not only touch our lives but touch the lives of many around us.
In today's world we look at the young people and they see this world as a hopeless mess. These are not the children and youth that steal to and destroy these are the children that God has put callings on their lives and they are well aware of it. They live a life of loneliness that mere words cannot explain it. They try to look for a future but they are faced with the dilemma what future. Many of them in their lives are still living with Mom and Dad as there is no way that they can afford to go and get out on their own and live. The lap of luxury in the world and the love of mammon are strangling the young people of today.
They look for love but they can only find in all the wrong places as the church has gone into such apostasy that they only look to further their own coffers. They seem withdraw and sullen, but they are not they just do not know what to say. How do they tell us that they can see our nation on the brink of complete Ruin. They look to Conspiracy theories to see if the answers are there. But again they still hit the same brick wall.
They look to us as their parents and grand parents and we can not answer them. All we can do is tell them to go to the Word of God and place all their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as He and He alone is the only one that can give us Peace. But before you can have the peace of God you must understand the Grace of God. God so loved He gave. He gave us Jesus and Jesus is the only answer.
You can search any place yet you cup will come back empty unless you seek Jesus and the Word of god for only there will you find the answers to all that is happening today. He is pure love, we as parents tried to give you love but many times we failed. We loved you so much yet we failed. We did not plan to fail but we did. You failed also when you did not heed our voices as we tried to warn you to detour from the world as all is held was harm. In doing that we sent you into the world and now you see the hell of it in your own lives. As it indulged, all the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the Pride of Life. You wanted to be a part of something, wanted to be looked up to by your friends, but this you must know friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God.
God is a God of Agape Love but He is also a God of Justice and He demands that we as His children kill the flesh and live after the Spirit of God that resides with in us.
So Dear Young Ones do not fear the world but fear Him who is able to kill both body and souls. Let Jesus deliver you from the things of the World and literally soak in all of Him that you can. Never be ashamed of Him as Jesus is not ashamed of You. Hold your heads up high and remember always that You belong to the King. You are The King's Kids in the Heaven lies and who cares about the earthly. It all turns to rust and mold no matter how hard you try to keep us. Remember that your family is all you have and then again you have a huge family in God that will reach out and pick you up and never condemn you but always show you love. Love is of God and every one that Loveth is born of God. We are always here for you as well and yet far away from the point that Jesus is just a voice away from hearing you. Call on Him, He will do far beyond what you can even imagine.

INTROSPECTIVE

Introspective 
This is a Tough Lesson that God taught me, years ago and I wrote it down & decided to just now share it with others. This was a Lesson, personally addressed to me from God. At this time, I feel it Must be shared, as I see people going thru this same Self Pity also.


The Israelite's Whined and Complained as they Wandered around in the Wilderness. Self-Pity and Wilderness Living go together! Self-Pity is Idolatry! That sorta shocked me at first, but allow me to define Pity for you.
Pity- to be sympathetic, or to have kindly sorrow, evoked by suffering, or misfortune of another: Often leading one to give relief or aid to the suffering individual.
God puts Compassion in all of us and sometimes, Compassion translates to Pity. Jesus took Pity on the people, Oftentimes, He felt sorrow for them, but it's not like - Oh God ,Woe is me. Jesus' Compassion moved Him to Take Action.
Matt 14:14 - And Jesus went forth and saw a great multitude, and was moved with Compassion toward them, and He healed their sick. 
True Godly Compassion doesn't just have a sorrowful feeling, but it Genuinely has an Action with it. Such as prayer,  Give Understanding, Love, Grace, Mercy & Peace. To be Godly, to have Godly Compassion, you must have an Action destined to help others, not for just Woe is Me. 
Jesus put Compassion in all of us, and the results of His Compassion, were many Miracles that came out of His Heart towards others. Jesus was moved with Compassion. Are we? Jesus put Compassion in all of us, but When we take that Compassion or Biblical Pity that was put in all of us to Flow out to Other People and We then turn that into ourselves, it becomes Idolatry! God Help Us! 
Lets look at the Flesh Sins in Galatians 5:19-21- Now the works of the Flesh are Manifest, which are (these) Adultery, Fornication, Uncleanness, Lasciviousness, Idolatry, Witchcraft, Hatred, Variance, Emulations, Wrath, Strife, Seditions, Heresies,Envying, Murders, Drunkenness,   and such like: Of the which I tell you before, as I have told you in times past, that They Which Do Such Things Shall Not Inherit the Kingdom of God.
You can't find Self-Pity there, but Self-Pity is Idolatry. Because We are taking the Compassion God gave us, to Flow out to Others and taking it into ourselves.
In Reality, We really need to be Delivered from Ourselves. Self-Centeness & Selfishness, that says WHAT ABOUT ME, WHAT ABOUT MY, I, ME, MY. If you truly want to be unhappy, just get Full of Yourself. You sit around and just think about Yourself and if You really want to just add insult to injury, then  start  feeling Sorry for Yourself.
Satan throws great Pity-Parties on a regular basis, and he will be Happy to invite You. But, If You have any Brains, you will Not go there! Just say No thank you, I've been to many of those, but I think I will pass today. Don't even have one cup of coffee with Mr. Pity. In the morning, a lot of us want to have a cup of coffee and mull over, how everything is going wrong today. Poor Me, What about Me, Nobody loves Me, I do all the work, They make the mess, I do the work, Woe is Me, I do the dishes, do the laundry, go to the store,  cook the meals. Does anyone care anything about Me? - NO!!!!!!
Like I cooked the meal , you came home, ate the meal, didn't even say thank you. Maybe, you even complained about it. Then you go and put up your feet and sit back in the  chair. You watch what you want on TV all night and poor Zelma, She has to clean up the mess.
When You are in this mind frame, you forget about all the Blessings and all the other things God has done in between there. We do not keep in mind what the Other Person is going thru, and probably They're not having a whole lot of fun either. 
Sometimes we just like to Crab, Crab, Crab, 'cause we are working, Crab 'cause we are not working. Crab, Crab, Crab about Anything and Everything is the Me, My , I. Listen to what is coming out of Your Mouth! Bottom line is we can't keep our flesh happy! So, our Happiness must Depend on God! God will keep You happy If You will go to Him and Do what He wants You to do! 
Idolatry is Turning in on yourself, Concentrating on yourself and your feelings, Perverting the Gift of Compassion that was intended to go Out to Others and Never to be turned into Us, Me, My, I!
Don't use Pity as an excuse for Your Bad Behavior! You may have some Bad Behavior, because of something that happened in you or someone you loved. Don't let that be an Excuse for you to feel sorry for Yourself. A reason is not an excuse. Get that Chip off Your Shoulder! 
God says Zelma, You can be Pitiful or Powerful, But you can't be both. If You want the Power of God to Flow, you must get rid of that Foolish mind set. You may have the Power of God, in Your heart and not have it in the Manifestations of God. 
God is showing us how to get out of the Wilderness and in doing so, we must learn some New Things. It's really simple to figure why the Children of Israel took 40 years to make an eleven day journey. Just look at their Behavior. They did nothing but Whine, Murmur and Complain in their Foolish Hearts. 
Do you agree with me, that If they Had put their Faith in God, Had a Good Attitude, Been Praising God, Thankful and Obedient, Not grumbling, blaming Moses, blaming God, not looking back to Egypt, that they would of made it in a lot shorter time than they did? How long Must we Wander in the Wilderness, before we Come to God?
The summation of all this is, we've got to give all this Junk up. Just learn to Surrender to God. Give up our Old Mind Sets, because they just Don't Work! You can not make God feel sorry for you by Pouting! I believe all God does when we Whine, Murmur and Complain is say- When You are all done let Me Know and We will go Forward Again!
Martyrs-- What about martyrs? We're not talking about the people that got martyred for their Faith! Martyrs are people who do a lot for other people. But they make sure that everyone they know, knows about it. They are always going to be telling you about how Sacrificially, They live. Martyrs are people who live Sacrificially, but not for the right reasons. Such as a woman who works hard in her home, who considers herself, Everyone's Slave. The definition of Martyr, is one who makes a great show of Suffering in order to Arouse Sympathy. Let us look at how Jesus deals with a man who feels sorry for himself.
John 5:2-9- Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: Whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. And a certain man was there which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been a long time in that case He saith unto him. Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered Him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the Pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same was the Sabbath.
Now this man took action and rose and walked. He could of remained pitiful and refused to hear Jesus, but he Believed and took up his bed and walked. For quite a few years now God has been trying to bring some changes into the churches. He wants us to be alive and ready and spiritually well when He returns for us. With the Holy Spirit bubbling up inside of us and the Words of God flowing out from us.
Yes, the things that are happening to us are difficult. We have a lot of Trials & Tribulations to go thru. But God is bringing a stirring up of Himself into our Spirits, If we will only let Him. The world wants to suck the energy of God right out of you. But when you learn to stay in the Presence of God, He will take all that the world hands you away. He will give you more of Jesus. Learn to stay on fire for God. Get out of your grave clothes. Do not be lukewarm, do not be sitters. Listen to Jesus, Learn to be like Jesus and learn to walk, not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Look at this man who first addresses Jesus as Sir, I have nobody. Do you see Self -Pity here? I do.
You have two kinds of people in the world today. The kind who waits for something to happen or the kind that makes something happen. Do you think you would of found a way to get into the water? Even if it took years, I probably would of fallen in and said here I go Jesus, Save me or Kill me, because I'm not living like this. 
Sooner or later, We must stop feeling sorry for ourselves and get on in our Spiritual life. It is a life worth living and dying for. We must move Forward in this life. No problems in anything will ever get solved by our Self- Pity. It is literally a trap that Satan is trying to draw us into: He draws us into it and it will not solve anything. Pain is Pain, Fear is Fear, and we need to make the decision. We need to literally learn to live in the Presence of God, as our Lord Jesus did. 
Helpless & Friendless, do you think Self-Pity? God, someone else always gets, but what about me? When is My Day coming? God says when are you going to stop feeling Sorry for Yourself and Obey Me, Zelma? When will you Stop Whining, Stop Grumbling? When will you Stop Blaming Everything on someone else? When will You pick up your Cross and Follow Me? I answered, God, You don't have to holler, but He has to Holler at me, because I'm Very Thick Headed. 'Takes a two by four to get my Attention! 
Let me ask of you, How long have you been walking with God? How long has God, had to drag you along? Look at Jesus' Compassion, Pick up your bed and Walk! Jesus told him to take up his bed and walk, not to just stand and walk but not to leave his bedding there. Walk!
Let us take a close look at Elijah in his Pity-Party. Please read 1 Kings Chapters 18&19. Learn to read the Bible in a practical way. Elijah had just had a Tremendous Victory in God. He had overcome 450 prophets of Baal. Look at fear here. Learn to take time to rejuvenate yourself. Take time to stay Strong in God. You need Time after any type of battle, to Rest, but Learn to Rest in the Arms of Jesus. He will take you thru Every Valley, Every Storm and Any Problems and bring you thru on the other side. You need to learn How to stay Strong in God, not men, but God and God Alone. Look at Elijah here, he goes running off by himself. He runs to a cave and Hides to have his Pity Party. He went into the wilderness and asked to Die! Now go back and read where Elijah is going to meet with God. Listen carefully, I and only I Lord.
When you are having a Pity-Party, you will turn everything around to the negatives. I Beg you, do Not fall into this Trap! It's a snare, straight from the pits of hell. The little foxes in the vine.
We need to Learn how to Cheer Up and Calm Down. That had been and always was Jesus' Answer to Problems. Being upset, will only Harm you and it is Bad for your Health. Look at your Actions, Honestly. You can't rebuke the flesh, it is not going to die! Learn to live in Jesus Christ and Rest in the Presence of the Almighty God. Let God deliver you from the Battles. Learn to say - I can't be Pitiful and Powerful. I choose to be Powerful. I don't deserve God's Blessing, because I am not worthy. But I am looking at God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Thru them, I am Free from this Bondage of Flesh, that desires to Kill my Walk with God and eventually Kill me.

PONDERING

                                                        PONDERING

I have sat here over the past few months, pondering many of the things in my own walk with Jesus Christ. Knowing always that he must always be my first priority. My first love. My all in all.
As I see the world spin out of control around me I can feel safe wrapped in the arms of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Chaos ruling all over the world destroying the lives of many men and women of God. Our children dying in a foreign country and coming home in a flag draped coffin. The other ones coming home with a hardness about them that my human eyes have never see. The carnage of a world gone a muck by the ways of the master of this world Satan. The things they have seen, the smells they have smelled and the fact that the war goes on with their bravery in believing that they are fighting for our freedom. While here at homes we see them try to destroy any image of God that is left in this desolate world. They fight  day by day and our country  fights  to take God out of our lives and the only true freedom we have in  the Lord Jesus Christ, without Him there is no freedom at all.
How many of us fight for the the race, to run the race that is within us to run, to set aside self and the world and to allow the Lord Jesus to sit on the throne of our hearts? How many of us have grown cold in our walk and quite the race entirely. How many of us blame the church for our own lack of discipline in obeying the Word of God and seeking out our own salvation with fear and trembling? How many of us long to get into the Bible and read the Word that the Father has given to us to exist in such a world as this? How many of us are so wrapped up that we cannot even find an hour in a day to give to our Savior.
It amazes me that we live in such perilous times yet the world spins around and around and we are not even attuned to what God is doing. We look for everything to blame it on but We forget that God is in control! and always has been in control. This is His earth, His people, we are the creatures, He is the Creator. He is the potter, we are the clay. Do you ask yourself daily what kind of a pot is God making with my life, or are we so busy to give the potter a second to even speak silently to us. To hear that sweet small voice saying you are Mine, I will keep you, I will protect you, I love you, I sent my Son to die for you so that you could be free and have everlasting life.
There is no freedom in this cruel cold world, the only freedom any of us have is in the Precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. He died so that you could be free. What value do you place on the blood that poured out of His body. Do you think of that time of the scourging post, where He opened not His mouth daily, or that cruel cold cross that He hang upon, completely innocent, that you would be free to worship Him. Do you worship Him from afar, or do you find yourself so hungry for more of Him that He takes all the things of the world and! shows you truly what they are. Do you find yourself growing daily and trying more and more to be like Jesus? What will He find in your life when he returns to get you.

Always remember the grace that He gave to you and that Jesus wiped the slate clean and said Paid in full. The Father always sees me thru the eyes of Jesus and it is as if I have never

sinned. Amazing . What a great gift to be given. Christ gives us Grace, Peace and Mercy. What do we give the world around us.
Run the race to win, to cross the.finish line here on earth, when He only asks for a small part of your live, but truly desires all of it. My children run the race with all that it within you, giving Jesus the throne in your life and not allowing anything of this world to unseat Him. The prize that awaits you is more than you could ever think, imagine or hope for. Do you cry out I will not be satisfied until I awake in your likeness.
Prepare my children to meet your God. For surely He is hovering on the horizon. Do not let any opportunity pass that He is not in charge. He stands at the door of your heart and knocks, please bid ! Him a greeting and open the door and say here" I am Lord Use Me". The day is at hand the night is far spent,  Watch , Pray and be Ready , for Jesus said surely I come quickly and surely He is coming quickly. Can you say with all honesty come quickly Lord Jesus, I am waiting and ready.

SEVEN

BIBLICAL NUMBER 7 AND THE SOON RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST. 

---

 

 

Biblical Number Seven and the soon return of Jesus Christ  
  
The number 7 is mentioned over 700 times in the Bible. There is only one number in

 Scripture that is mentioned more than seven and that would be one; however, the

 tone of 7 seems to be more explicit or detailed as God brings His point across so clear.

 According to the Bible "Seven" is complete through the union of earth but only with

 the help of heaven. The words complete and finished are connected with the biblical 

meaning "Seven." According to Revelation 16:17 the words..."It is done" is also 

connected with the biblical meaning of "Seven." 

 

I used to ask myself all the time - why would God use the number 7 so many times 

in the book of Revelation (54 to be exact) to surround this writing by the Apostle 

John? There are many reasons and little by little I will attempt to make some point

s that perhaps you have never seen before. The word created is used in Genesis 1:1,1:21,1

;27,2;3 and2;4. It is used "Seven" times when God created the world. Then God rested on the 

"Seventh" day.

 

One of the obvious reasons would be that after Revelation 4:2 the "Seventh" 

dispensation starts on planet earth which will be (future tense) as of this writing.

 Also there will be a "7" year tribulation right around the "Seventh" millennium. 

Do you remember when the "7" years of famine took place in the days of Joseph?

 That was the judgment of God. According to Genesis 7:2 the clean beasts went into the ark i

n "Sevens." According to Genesis 7:9-10 Noah went into the ark and "Seven" days later the flood 

came on the earth.
  
Another point I would like to make is as of the printing of this article there are around 

 billion people in the world. What I am trying to portray is there are so many sevens

 that surround not only this book but end time prophecy which is spoken of in several

 accounts of the Bible.

 

I don't find it coincidental that as all these warning signs are taking place around this

 planet we are around the 7 billion person mark.

 

God is Sovereign and He is very much in perfect control of everything. I always had a 

ard time believing this part of the power of God but the more I study biblical subjects 

such as this the less I doubt that Jesus Christ is above time and controls it from 

beginning to end. 
  
The 6000th verse in the Old Testament of the King James Version says, "Then Joshua 

called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every

 tribe a man." Joshua 4:4 shows the readers that he is a type of Jesus Christ and this

 verse was a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ choosing the 144,000 Jewish people from 

the twelve tribes of Israel right around the end of 6000 years in the Bible from Adam

 moving forward into the redemptive plan of God for planet earth.

 

I am not saying this will be exact but I am not saying it won't. I do not believe this

 world is 6000 years old because fallen angels were cast out of Paradise and inhabited

 planet earth before Genesis chapter one. My writing on the "Division of Two"

 explains all the verses for this logic that the Bible so clearly explains in a very simple way. 
  
Would you like to know what the 7000th verse of the Old Testament in the King 

James Version says? In the book of Judges which is the "7th" book of the Bible I 

is so exact. "And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: For we have

 seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go

, and to enter to possess the land." Judges 18:9.This is amazing!

 

The Word of God is so perfect. In the 6000th verse of the Bible Joshua (a type of 

Jesus Christ) preludes what Jesus Christ will do at the end of 6000 years (maybe

 exact or perhaps approximate) inside the perimeters of the 7 year tribulation

 period. The 7000th verse of the Bible is in the "Seventh" book.

 

In the 7000th verse (Joshua 18:9) Israel is entering the promised land. From a

 pivotal role in the 6000th verse (the calling of the 144,000 Jewish men) to the

 hope and promise of rest for Israel in the millennium. 
  
There are so many tones of Armageddon and God giving Israel the victory in 

this verse that I actually felt like I was reading Revelation chapter 19. 

 

In Judges 18:9 which is the 7000th verse of the Bible Israel is under the canopy

 of chapter 18 which is the number for bondage. That is exactly what Jesus Christ

 is going to do. He is going to deliver Israel out of bondage so they can enter the

 promised land in peace.

 

Remember Melchizedek is spoken of in Psalm 110:4 which is the servant candle 

Psalm (middle) of Psalms 107 through 113 foreshadowing the 7 year tribulation

 period. I know I mentioned this before but I think it is worth repeating. Melchizedek 

is at the very least a type of Jesus Christ. Some Bible experts believe Melchizedek 

is Jesus Christ Himself.

 

There are "7" verses in Psalm 110 and Melchizedek is mentioned in the 4th verse.

 Not only is Psalm 110 a servant candle chapter (Psalms 107-113) but verse 4 is a 

servant candle verse out of "7" in Psalm 110. Only God Himself could design a 

servant candle within a servant candle. No human being could do that. This is th

e signature of God juxtapostioned in Scripture. 
  
Since there are 54 "Sevens" in the book of Revelation. It is almost as if God is saying

 that He is going to perfect this world through His Son Jesus Christ. Remember 7

 means perfection and completion. According to Leviticus 8:31-36 Aaron and all his sons

 had to be consecrated for "Seven" days before they started their priestly duties.The redemptive

 work of Jesus Christ is "Complete' but this passage of the Bible is showing us that we must be

 dedicated to God for service and living clean before Him. God is holy and we are to be living holy lives before God.
  
Psalm 107 starts the fifth book of the Psalms which speaks of grace and the Kingdom

. The theme of this Psalm is "Oh that men would praise the Lord." According to

 Dr.J.R.Church this particular Psalm is giving a panorama of the history of Israel from A.D. 70 to the second advent of Jesus Christ.

 

Verses 1-8 talk about the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans and the Diaspora

 of the Jews. Verses 9 through 15 talk about the suffering from the late eighteen

 hundreds until 1948 when God delivered Israel unto their land. Verses 16 through

 21 take the reader from 1948 to the beginning of the 7 year tribulation period. 

Verses 22 through 31 take the reader into the second half of the tribulation period.

 This is the section of Psalm 107 that has 6 inverted Hebrew Nuns with the 

"Seventh" being bracketed before verse 40. The last fifth section (grace) o

f Psalm 107 describes Israel at the end of the 7 year tribulation period and

 moving into a victory at the start of the reign and rule of Jesus Christ. I hope

 I am motivating people out there on internet land to read the Bible.

 "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall 

stand for ever." Isaiah 40:8.

 

Psalm 107 gives an overview of the history of Israel from 70 A.D. to the end

 of the 7 year tribulation period. Psalms 107 through 113 ("Seven" Psalms)

 give the design and evidence of this soon coming testing for Israel better

 known as Jacob's trouble. Jeremiah 30:7. Do you think God is trying to make

 a point? The reason why I went a little off the subject is because I pointed 

out that there are 7 verses in Psalm 110. I wanted to expound on that principle

 of "Seven" and show you how perfect the Bible is because God wrote the Word of God.

 

As I have stated several times the book of Revelation is surrounded by "Sevens."

 The seven churches, the seven stars and even the judgments are in sets of "Seven.

" There are "Seven" feast days and there are "Seven" branches of the Candlestick

. The Tabernacle in the Holy Place is where this "Seven" was housed. God wanted

 to show His "Complete" light for our soul. This is the God we worship and serve

. I hope your faith in Jesus Christ just got stronger. It dawned on me that every 

equation leading up to "Seven" speaks of the perfection and completion of God.

 I can see why God would end the last book of the Bible with "Sevens."

 

6 (the number of man) +1 (the Sovereignty of God) =7 (Perfection and Completion).

 2 (Division) +5 (Grace) =7( perfection and completeness). 4 (the perfect world

 number) +3 (the perfect divine number) =7. Think about this combination.

 Earth (4) with the perfect help of heaven (3) computes to divine completion

 and perfection (7). For me it is hard to doubt the divine design of God. 

 

It is the next 3 verses that I really want you to look at very closely. "(10) 

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish:

 because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

 (11) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they

 should believe a lie: (12) That they all might be dammed who believe

 not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 2nd Thes.2:10-12. 
  
This is why if you never accepted Jesus Christ as your very own personal

 Savior and Lord it is so important to make that decision today/tonight 

wherever you may be in the world. Much false unity and deception 

will take place around the world in the form of politics and religion

 because that is exactly what Revelation chapter 13 teaches.

 

If a person rejects the truth of God then they are prime for deception

. The closeness of the hour would have to be obvious. The question

 anybody would have to ask is, "Am I ready to go up to heaven in the

 rapture of the church?" The great snatch (the catching away of the

 Christians) is reserved for true Believers in Jesus Christ. The Blessed 

Hope is one event you will not want to miss! I believe this could happen 

at any moment. 

 

"(9)That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine

 heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

"(10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confessio

n is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10.
