Economic Pain may be deferred

Wednesday, November 7th, 2012

In a recent blog, I suggested that there would be a time difference of economic pain depending on which candidate won.  It would now appear that we have been given a reprieve an immediate currency event.  This delay will serve the Body of Christ to continue its preparation of bringing forth the Kingdom.  Ben Bernanke will not be fired but will continue his quantitative easing path.  Of course I believe Our Heavenly Father is in ultimate control and Obama has been ordained to continue for the next four years.

The fiscal cliff is ahead but I know of no country that wants to see an immediate US crisis.  China is not quite ready to take on the central role but they will continue to move away from reliance on the US Dollar.  Their leaders openly acknowledge that the US is sending them a depreciating asset in the US Dollar.  Right now, there is nothing they can do but to accept this reality.  Long term, they will remove the influence of the Dollar on their economy.

The aspiring overcomers should use this delay to further prepare themselves for a simplified, unencumbered lifestyle.  Remove the clutter from your life as well as your home.  Retire your debt, you will sleep better.  Debt always takes the focus away from other more important matters.  Join us for our weekly Bible study as we focus on the Love of Our Heavenly Father.  You can catch up be watching the recorded sessions.

The Timing of Economic Pain

Sunday, November 4th, 2012

The next four years are probably the most critical years in my economic lifetime.  My parents were able to ride the wave of postwar prosperity and enjoy relative stable rates and a stable economy throughout their later years. 5 to 7% interest on their retirement allowed them to live a moderate and simple lifestyle without much worry.  I am thankful for that.  There now appears to be an abrupt end to that relatively stable economy in sight.  One presidential candidate will probably cause an economic collapse in six to nine months whereas the other will attempt to postpone one until the 2016 time frame.  Either way the time is now for those of us who are called to become mature Sons to set aside every weight that so easily besets us.

On Tuesday the people will select their perceived future.  Hurricane Sandy (defender of mankind) has impacted the campaigns substantially.  How will the people view the two candidates in light of the recent disaster?  Since I believe that Our Heavenly Father’s plan will be carried out either way, I believe each candidate can take us to the final destiny even though their paths appear to be different.  There is so much social change occurring right now that the polls really have no clue.  In the recent Lindsay Williams’ interview, he believes the globalists want Mitt Romney to take the helm.  This would speed up their attempt to move us to a one world currency after the US Dollar’s collapse.  He contends that Obama double-crossed the “Elite” and they are going to make him a one-term President.  Either way, my focus will be on the intimacy of my relationship  with Our Heavenly Father, looking to Jesus Christ as my example, and the Most Holy Spirit to draw me into the Holy of Holies on a daily basis.  Being led by the Holy Spirit and being one with THE FATHER and THE SON will take me through any economic crisis that mankind can throw at me.  Our fruitfulness is what will nourish the earth in the coming times of economic upheaval.

Turbulence expected ahead

Saturday, November 3rd, 2012

John Williams of Shadowstats.com writes:

“U.S. Presidential Election.  On Tuesday, November 6th, voters will select the President of the United States who will serve for the term extending from January 2013 to January 2017.  Regardless of whether Barrack Hussein Obama or Willard Mitt Romney wins the election, the next presidential term most likely will see the onset of a domestic, hyperinflationary great depression.  That is the ultimate domestic financial disaster that has been predicted here for a number of years, with an outside timing of 2014 .  While the longer-range outlook should not be affected much by the election results, the impact of a very-short-lived shift in global confidence in the U.S. dollar is a possibility.”

I pay particularly close attention to John’s comments because he takes the US Government’s own raw data and calculates the various statistics based on historical apples-to-apples comparisons.  His statistics are not manipulated to present a rosy picture but he simply “tells it like it is”.  Like Joe Friday on Dragnet would say, “Just the facts Ma’am”.

I don’t write these blogs on Biblical Economics to evoke fear in people.  Instead I try to prepare people for change I see coming.  I don’t expect the world to end but expect a new Kingdom to come forth.  For this to happen the old kingdom must give way for the New Kingdom to come.  The change will be massive and I believe Our Heavenly Father is preparing our hearts for this change.  The destruction of the old kingdom will not take HIM by surprise but HE is preparing the hearts of those who are called to be raised up during the coming change.  The challenges will be great but I expect the miracles to exceed the challenges.  Just as the challenge of cancer is great at a personal level, the healing of cancer exceeds the sickness.  We must always remember that the Creator is always greater than the creation.  Our Heavenly Father is well equipped to resolve any and all global issues.  HE will use those whom HE is raising up to deal with the issues at hand.  They will be the mature Sons who will perfectly represent HIS best interest because the hear HIS Words and have taken on HIS character- Love.  Those are the ones who will be raised up to produce fruit for the Kingdom to come.

Becoming like THE FATHER

Friday, November 2nd, 2012

John 5:19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.

22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,

23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

Isn’t our ultimate goal to mature as a Son of Our Heavenly Father?  If this is the case then we should expect Our Heavenly Father to reveal HIMSELF to us.  Jesus reveals this truth in the above passage.  First, we must see what Our Heavenly Father does.  This can be done by studying Scripture as well as hearing HIS voice.  When we respond, we hear.  Our Heavenly Father Loves us and is willing to show us ALL things that HE HIMSELF does.  Furthermore, we are to do greater works than those that Jesus did and we should expect men to marvel at these works.  Has anyone been marveling at your works lately?  Me neither!

Our Heavenly Father Loves us as HE Loves Jesus Christ.  We should also expect HIM to show us all things as we become mature sons.  Can an infant be shown the the weightier truths?  We must study to show ourselves approved by Our Heavenly Father.  Our commitment to become mature sons is not based on a few hours of study and discussion but is based on a serious focus of understanding the deeper aspects HIS nature and ways.  Children knows his acts but we should learn HIS ways.

We should expect to give life to those whom THE FATHER directs us.  All judgment will be give to us as we become like Our Heavenly Father.  As we set our path on becoming like Our Heavenly Father as mature son should, we should expect to operate as Jesus did.  HE is our example.  We should not let HIS words be forgotten.  As we learn of the characteristics of Our Heavenly Father, we should purpose to act in the same manner.  HIS characteristics should become our characteristics.  We should embrace The Law because it is based on Love, the most primal characteristic of Our Heavenly Father.  As we do, we will become mature sons resulting in greater works.  We should expect HIS Glory to be manifested through us.  When that occurs, people will marvel!

Jesus reaffirms this-

John 14:12  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Called to be fruitful

Thursday, November 1st, 2012

John 15:1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away;  and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me

Jesus called us to be fruitful for the Kingdom.  There is no way around that mandate.  Just as Ephraim (I shall be doubly fruitful) the son of Joseph was given the mandate to bring forth fruit, we are also to bring for the fruit.  It is important to note the we must be pruned so that we will bring forth more fruit.  Pruning is necessary to cut away the dead from the living.  The dead impedes the living from bringing forth much fruit.  The old man must be pruned away if we are to expect the maximum harvest in the age of Tabernacles.

The other aspect of the above passage is the branch that does not bear fruit.  This branch will be removed from the vine altogether.  This is truly disappointing.  It tells us that there are those who were receiving life from  Our Lord Jesus Christ but were unwilling to bear fruit.  They would not rule over their fleshly man thus causing them to be removed from the vine totally.  This is serious and we must take heed.

The ultimate goal is for us to bear maximum fruit for the Kingdom.  Our Heavenly Father trains us up to be fully mature sons.  A fully mature son knows His FATHER’s will, plan, and purpose.  The son knows THE FATHER’S heart and character and seeks to do HIS will.  He understands the motive behind every action of THE FATHER.  His maturity grows until he walks in the same footsteps.  David was a man after GOD’S own heart.  David understood the Love of THE FATHER.  We must also embrace the revelation of this same Love.  How can you embrace it if you never study and immerse yourself in this most primary characteristic?

We are called to produce a hundredfold of fruit.  Some are satisfied with thirtyfold, others with sixtyfold, but there are those who want to be fully mature and produce the maximum for the Kingdom.  I believe those are who will not be denied the fullness of the Kingdom.  Those are the ones who go on to become fully matured Sons of GOD.  They will embrace the pruning once they understand the necessity to be pruned.  They will allow their doctrine to be shattered so that don’t spend another minute at a lower level of understanding.  They will not meander in the wilderness and build a permanent dwelling there.  They seek out the promises given to them by Our Heavenly Father.

As we abide in the fullness of the revelation of Jesus Christ, He will make the statement “I in you”.  We will then produce the same fruit as our elder Brother.  Men will see our fruit and know that our words are true.  The Kingdom will spread throughout the earth.  Thy Kingdom come!
