Words of Hope From Someone Who Knew no Hope

Hello my friend and good afternoon I hope you and your family are well and that God and His loving Son dwell with you through the power of the Holy Spirit, amen.


Today’s broadcast features Dr. Michael Youssef of ‘Leading The Way’; Isik Abla, who suffered directly under the hand of radical Islam; and Dr. Erwin Lutzer, taking a strong stand against Islamic infiltrators in the West.

The first fifteen or twenty minutes is Pastor Youssef giving clarity and explanation to some of the details of Islam and how Muslims have coexisted with Christians and Jews in parts of the world...so far.

The second speaker is very powerful in giving her witness, Isik Abla was born in Turkey, a Muslim nation and was abused as a child and later married a Muslim man and moved to America with the intent to spread Islam. After getting a job and having a devout Christian for a boss who spoke about his Jesus with such love and humility she came to Christ in her boss's office. Her witness is very powerful and speaks volumes I think about how different the two religions are and how faith is so different. I believe it is very important to hear her words and try to put ourselves into her shoes so to speak. To imagine an existence without true faith in the simple yet overwhelming goodness of God.

I do not in any way excuse what ISIS or ISIL is doing to Christians all throughout the middle east right now, I do not excuse them for the slaughter of children and I do not excuse Islam's heavy handed ways of dominance throughout the world. What I found powerful was the tone of her voice explaining that she didn't know love until she accepted Jesus, that at that point she wanted to serve Him and to serve others because her heart overflowed with the mercy and compassion that was shown to her through the workings of the Holy Spirit. I find her testimony to be inspiring and uplifting and to hear that she is part of a ministry in Turkey that is bringing Christ Jesus and His message to Muslims and inviting them to come to Christ is to me astounding.

The last speaker also speaks about the specifics of Islam as it weaves it's way to manipulate itself into each and every society to convert or to bring others into submission or to death. Doctor Lutzer challenges each and every Christian and each and every pastor in his words that we as the body of Christ must change our ways and become tough in the face of heresy and to find the legs to take a firm stand for Christ and for the faith or we will surely destroy ourselves because of our lack of faith. 

Please hear Isik Abla's testimony and may it give you renewed fire and may you share it with others. We must all become aware of how the devil has twisted hundreds of years of history for these people and they look at us and life completely different than we do but in one sense they are the same, they want to be accepted by God and in their hearts they plead for mercy but the perversion of the devil's words in their religious language has left them without hope of salvation.

Until next time I bid you peace in the name of Christ Jesus, amen.
 
May you have a Jesus filled day

Maybe you already know but just in case

Good morning my friends and may God bless you and your household, today I send some information that many of you may already know about and are taking preparations for, but...just in case I wanted to pass it along.

Things have been uneasy in the stock market to say the least and for some time now (at least the past three years) many financial advisers who are not sucked into the "jump in the water's fine" attitude of the stock market have been warning of a time to come when it will all deflate.
 
Some of you may be very aware of this and have taken prudent steps to safeguard your personal wealth, i.e. house, cars, certificates of deposit and alike as best you can from volatile activity that could diminish your portfolio overnight. If so then good for you, glad to know you are being wise with what God has allowed you to accumulate and are being good stewards of His money and are treating it like the precious resource that it is, just as precious as water when you don't have it anymore. Money is something this world runs on, I personally would rather do without it but the power company still expects to see their share when the bill comes and they are not the only ones are they?

Today I give a couple of links to some things that if you haven't been paying much attention to the market you may want to look at these items as they will give you valuable insight.

First is a recent article by David Stockman who as an adviser during the Reagan administration and he has been writing articles and speaking to groups for years now about the next collapse of the economy of this country much worse than what happened in 1987, 2001, 2007-08 and soon will be September of 2015.

http://kingworldnews.com/david-stockman-world-central-banks-edge-desperation-carnage-coming-soon/

Mr. Stockman has not come up with September but others who read and study God's Holy word and pay strict attention to God's commandments and precepts have made it abundantly clear that what God decrees will be observed willingly or otherwise. I am talking about the Shemitah, pronounced just as it is spelled with accent on the -tah- and the Shemitah (some pronounce Shmita) is a principle that God put in place in the Hebrew Scriptures that states that on every seven year cycle all serious work would come to a rest, that there would be declared a time of Jubilee and all debts would be either repaid or stricken off the books - in today's terms this is known as a "reset". The previous six years would have been time for land owners to collect a great harvest and at the time of Jubilee there would be celebration and feasting in observance of the blessings of God upon all. Shemitah lasts for one year and we are currently in a year of Shemitah which began in September of 2014 and will end September of 2015 to which according to God's decree will begin a year of Jubilee. If you have looked at any of Jonathan Cahn's material on the Harbinger 1 & 2 and also the Shemitah you will be well versed and have understanding of the collapse that is about to come. It is not God's desire that so many will be effected by the Shemitah but many will be just the same because people have walked away from God in a big way so much so that Christianity barely pays attention to Jewish feasts and calendar events because gentiles think it is all for Jews and if a person is a Christian then it doesn't apply to us. No, not exactly, you see Jesus was a Jew and I don't mean to sound crass but we forget we as Christians follow a Jew. Jesus wasn't Christian, those who chose The Way were referred to as Christians beginning with a mention in the Book of Acts. Jesus states to us all that He did not come to abolish The Law but to fulfill it, that tells me that all the things put forth in Exodus and Deuteronomy and Leviticus have serious and significant meaning and God never gave a time limit to when any of it would expire. Leviticus Chapter 25 verses 3-4 states;

3
For six years you may plant your fields and prune your vineyards and harvest your crops,
4but during the seventh year the land must have a Sabbath year of complete rest. It is the lord’s Sabbath. Do not plant your fields or prune your vineyards during that year.

I give you here a link for Jonathan Cahn appearing on Sid Roth's show giving an overview explanation of the Shemitah or Shmita;

Also; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGF8213KlL8

As I mentioned it is not God's desire that so many would be ruined by ignoring the Shmita or the Jubilee but it will happen just the same because the rulers of this world who have stepped away from God's word and His will have been guiding this country and the economy of this world over a cliff and it is not a joke. Look at the Dow Jones right now, it is up above 18,000 points now and it was just near 14,000 in 2007-08 when it crashed then and as God's cycle kicked in the market collapsed. Those of you who follow God's word closely, not simply relying on a Priest or Pastor to translate for us will see for yourself in the book of Daniel, in Isaiah and in Revelations that it is the will of the devil that we who are created by God should be brought under his control and his destructive powers. Remember that in the book of Job the devil pointed at Job and said to God that if tested Job would fail and fall away from God and denounce God. God invited the test upon Job but strictly stated to the devil that he could do whatever he wanted to Job BUT he could not kill him. See King James Version. Folks I don't know how to tell you this other than to come out with it, there is not going to be a mother ship that comes and plucks us up out of here. God has throughout biblical history only lifted two or three individuals up into heaven but never has he removed the nation of Israel up out of its impending doom, He has warned us over and over, and, He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Jesus said the days would be shortened to protect the elect, He did not say He would take the elect out of the days.

Matthew 24:22: "Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

Mark 13:20:
"Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

Please keep in mind that what some people hold on to is 1 Thessalonians which is a letter written by Paul an Apostle not Jesus Himself so I do not believe we should take those words so literally. God allowed Israel to be captured multiple times and be brought into slavery by their enemies for sometimes hundreds of years before a pagan king was moved by God to let them be free, sometimes out of kindness and sometimes out of fear of God. I hope along with the rest of you that somehow we will hear the shout and we will look up and see our Savior coming on the clouds, hay I'm right there with you and I don't want to have to face any of what is coming but the Lord has been giving me signs and has been directing my steps for a long time now in a direction of preparation and for announcing to others that God will not be mocked and will not allow a country that was dedicated to Him to remain a country that kills its unborn, kills those who are infirm and old. A country that is slowly becoming another Sodom and Gamorrah with same sex marriages and devil worship quickly on the rise in this country. The whole world is almost running away from God and embracing the ways of self pleasure and self fulfillment when we were not meant for that, we were meant to care for one another and to care for God. In many respects our country has lost its first love, love for Jesus.

Please take heed my friends and look to your own house first; pay off the mortgage, sell off what you can to pay off debt, get yourself in better health, learn skills for growing food, raising animals for food. Get your home in good shape, make repairs so you can get through hard times without enduring repair bills when you will be so strapped for money. Have your cars in good working order. Pay off small credit cards and take that money and apply to larger card debt until you can cut those cards up. God tells us in His word that He does not want us owing to any man because then they will own us in a sense, we will be answerable to them, we will be slaves of debt and Jesus came and died on the cross so that we would be slaves no longer to anyone. Learn methods of self defense, in hard times many who are without God in their life will become desperate and will turn to violence to provide for their food and needs. We must defend our own and our family, the devil will turn your Christianity against you and whisper that you are not a believer that you do not take care of the poor but he is full of lies. If you love others and feed others in your home then you ARE taking care of God's children. Strengthen your reserve and learn more of God's word to have on your mind, in your mouth and on your heart each and every day, we must feed our spirit as we feed our bodies with a plateful every day of God's goodness.

I have gone on long enough but please heed my words, its only going to get harder

God's blessings upon you and your house,

Obama's Backhanded Compliment to Christians

 A link to Rush Limbaugh's transcript of the topic of Obama and the Christian Prayer Breakfast 2015: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2015/02/05/why_our_president_chose_to_insult_christianity_and_excuse_militant_islam_at_the_national_prayer_breakfast
I have taken the time to read through this transcript and I came away with this, it is not that "we all believe God listens to us only, that we have the perfect understanding." It is that We Listen To God. Any Christian who Listens to God would be on the same page as the Christian next to them. The huge mistake that pagans have is that somehow people who follow Christ become mindless idiots who stop thinking for themselves when it is the furthest from the truth. We are still individual and we think in our own way, understand in our own way and love in our own way but we Agree with God that we will do all things with His help, His guidance and understanding. If one Christian seems to look and act like another and our goals are the same it is clearly because we are listening to God together. God does not change, has not changed and will not change. If we listen and take wisdom from God and apply it to our lives, from the outside we Will look like carbon copies but it is what is going on in our hearts and minds is where all of the deep and hard work continue to undergo transformation of the human spirit and God's spirit to become one. As Jesus prayed for all of us who came to know him, in the Gospel of John Chapter 17 Jesus prayed to His Father that we would become one with Him just as Jesus and His Father were one and we would all be as one together. This response from Obama is typical worldly, pagan rhetoric that is used against every Christian to bash them down, make them feel like they are doing something wrong and when we begin to believe that lie then we are failing. If we are upsetting the world then we are pleasing God. Jesus tells us in His word that the world hates Him, how much we at times overlook that simple and yet huge statement. Jesus says to us that if we follow Him that we will be hated as much and persecuted for our following Him. My point being is that what Obama said is partly true but when heard through the ears of the pagans sounds like Christians believe they are the only ones who hear God. You and I both know that is not true, that anyone can hear from God but it is up to us to start somewhere in our lifelong conversation with God to delve into His word. Thanks be to God for the Bible because we have thoughts, feelings, heartfelt yearnings of our God printed in black and white so we can communicate with Him whenever we need and want. If we are following Jesus and our heart is committed and we nourish ourselves in the Word of God daily then we will begin to look alike as a body of Christ because we are being changed from the old man into the new and that new man looks like, sounds like, walks like, talks like Jesus. Could we be anyone other than Christ for the world? Can you think of anyone better to soothe the hurts of this world, feed the spiritually hungry, clothe the naked than Christ Himself? Let us be the Jesus they need.

It is not whether we Christians are the only ones who "know it all" it is that we listen to the One who Made it all and tells us how we are to live, to love, to respect one another and if I look like a carbon copy then I take it as a compliment from the devil. The devil means it as a slam but as a Christian that tells us we are on the right path. To me, in my opinion Islam is a counterfeit religion to Christianity begun and fertilized by the devil, their spiritual writings and teachings lead people to commit horrendous acts of violence and murder and it will lead all who follow to the depths of hell itself. It is normal that Christians and Jews would be eternal enemies with Islam, the devil hates Jesus and either way both religions follow Jesus and Islam follows the devil. There is a Christmas song we sing every year around the world, Who's Child is This and in the lyrics are the words, "the silent word is pleading." It makes me think of the cross and the crucified Christ, He IS the word of God and in His silence upon that cross He IS pleading with His arms stretched out wide to accept all who would call Him Father, Lord, Savior. No other religion on earth will lead us to the foot of that cross, no other faith on this earth will connect us with the maker of the universe than the faith we are given by God the Father to believe in Jesus His one and only Son. I have gone on long but the article was long and there was much said. Much that is said and repeated every day in mainstream media and it is meant to run us down in our faith and question and doubt the Good Work God has begun in you and me, let it not deter you from your appointed path we must all suffer the slings and arrows of this faithless world in order to be shed of its impurities and when our process is done we will be treasures in the storehouse of God for Him to admire for all eternity. This message is meant in the spirit of brotherly love for my brothers and sisters in Christ.
