A Result of Fiat Currency

Saturday, January 25th, 2014

Large multi-national corporations are in business to make a profit and there is nothing wrong with profit.  It is a Biblical principle to generate a profit.  The problem arises when you inject some form of lawlessness into the equation.  Suddenly, the profit becomes tainted and has unrighteousness attached to it.  It becomes accountable to spiritual powers of this world.  Death and destruction soon follow.  The Bible provides us with many examples of men being moved by the powers of darkness and Jesus found it necessary to be tempted by the devil himself in order to fulfill His calling.  If you discount the fact that these powers are still present, you will probably be blindsided.  Your ignorance of their power and authority does not change the reality of their impact around the globe.  Our Heavenly Father has raised up men and women to deal with the claims of these spiritual powers in the “Heavenly” court system.  They are intercessors.

The Kingdom of Heaven is a rather simple and straightforward system.  Jesus provided us with many examples of this.  In fact, He likened the Kingdom to small children in that it was not complicated.  We are to come as little children, simply.  On the flipside, the other kingdom is highly complex and hardly anyone can fully understand how it works.  The more complex, the better.  This system exalts some people over the multitudes, as though they are entitled to walk around adorned in jewels while others are washing their clothes in the local streams.  Fiat currency supports this disparity.

Fiat currency allows those in power to manipulate value to their benefit.  It is designed to exploit the weak.  After all, what can they do about it?  The masses walk around predisposed with their latest smart phone and “Apps” to keep them busy.  I was in another country recently where the standard of living was notably low.  Many people lived in “shanties” of wood and corrugated steel, yet they had their cell phone and satellite dish hooked up to the TV.  The technology is a means to keep them in bondage.

What happens when the fiat currency system begins to weaken?  Multi-national corporations will immediately respond and move into “protect” mode.  You could say that they are the canary in the coal mine in the currency exchange market.  If they see a sudden devaluation in the value of the goods and/or services, they will immediately respond.  What happens when a multi-national corporation quits taking your local currency?  It can get ugly quick.  See: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/airlines-halt-ticket-sales-venezuela-210753054–finance.html

This would suggest that those who travel abroad might want to carry a couple of gold coins in their pocket, just in case.  Do you think the authorities are going to give you notice when there is an imminent currency crisis coming?  The public will be the last to know.  Who knows before the authorities?  Our Heavenly Father.  HE is not restricted to time.  This is why I find it imperative that we all should press in to have the closest of relationships with HIM.  HE will navigate us through the changes that lie ahead.  In the complex system we live in today, there is nobody else who can insure our well-being.

By the way,  the U.S. continues to add new “currency controls” in a rather subtle fashion.  After all, the current fiat system is all about “control”.  See: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/venezuela-cuts-dollar-allowance-florida-151019655.html

You shall live and not die

Friday, January 24th, 2014

Psalm 118:17  

I shall not die, but live,

​​And declare the works of the LORD.

What is one result of being a mature son or daughter of Our Heavenly Father?  You declare the works of Our Heavenly Father.

The first half of this particular passage was seared into my consciousness in the fall of 1995.  A prominent businessman had died at the age of 70 (on his birthday), my wife and I knew the family and attended the funeral.  There were over twenty speakers that day.  During the service, the spirit of death tried to attach itself to me.  My wife perceived it, another couple from church perceived it as well.  My Heavenly Father told me to be absolutely still and pray, we all did.  In fifteen minutes, it departed.  Thankfully, I didn’t die at the funeral that day.  Several weeks later, I went to Minneapolis for business and met up with Carl Petty whom some of you knew.  His ministry was to connect people together.  My business required me to stay the weekend and on Sunday I met Martin Paulat, a most prolific Prophet.  During the course of 24 hours, he had three visions about me and called Carl to meet with us on Monday night to share them.  I was excited to say the least.  We met at Little Jack’s Steakhouse in northeast Minneapolis.  In the large dining room, there was only one other distant table occupied… a slow night.  After Martin shared the three visions, I had more questions for him, what an opportunity!  I shared the event at the funeral and before I could finish, he interrupted and shared a parallel occurrence he had at about the same time at a funeral he attended.  His wife had the same conversation with him when the spirit of death tried to attach itself to him during the funeral.  THE LORD spoke and said, “Martin, you shall live and not die.”  The spirit of death departed.  Suddenly, an angel appeared in the restaurant just behind my left shoulder.  Martin looked beyond me and saw the angel while both Carl and I perceived his presence by the sudden anointing that came over us.  We all bowed our heads and began praising Our Heavenly Father.  That is all I knew to do.  I could not move a muscle.  My arms were “glued” to the armrests and my feet felt like one hundred pound weights.  After a few minutes, the presence left and when I looked up, Martin had tears in his eyes.  The angel told Martin, “Bob too, shall live and not die.”

Two days ago en route to OKC, after all these years, this Scripture was brought into focus.  We are to live in order that we may declare the works of the LORD.  In the coming times, people will need to hear and be encouraged.  They need to know that Our Heavenly Father is not some distant god but is active in our lives today.  As each of us focuses on becoming mature in the Love, Word, and Power from Heaven, we will be able to declare first hand the works of THE LORD.  HIS mighty hand awaits your commitment to come to full maturity.

Incidentally, a few months later, I was asked to be a poll bearer at the funeral of a close friend’s father.  Needless to say, I was not excited about attending ANY funeral.  Sure enough, the sprit of death tried to attach itself again.  I immediately proclaimed “I shall live and not die”, the promise sent to me by the messenger.  The spirit immediately departed.  Today, I proclaim to you the works of the LORD.

A Return to Value(s)

Thursday, January 23rd, 2014

As we mature in our understanding and knowledge in matters of the greatest importance, we will begin to instruct others who will seek out answers in the current economic system.  The current system differs from the Roaring 20’s in that we have a more integrated infrastructure now.  Back then, you did not have millions of automobiles on the highway, planes in the air, and trains transporting goods imported from across the globe.  This is a primary factor why we can have such high unemployment without interruption in goods and services.  The primary problem now is that this infrastructure masks the problem to policymakers.  When you enter the Port of Miami, you see the hustle and bustle of activity, the gleaming skyscrapers in the background, and the normal traffic jams on the expressways.  Only a few short blocks away, you do not see the poverty and those surviving on government transfer payments.

The macroeconomic picture has not improved.  The debt continues to grow, interest rates continue to be manipulated to zero, and the unemployment continues at over 20%:

Remember, John Williams is using raw government statistics for this comparison.  When you have economists inserting their bias into raw numbers, you can see they want to paint a rosy picture to support their views.  This illusion cannot and will not be sustained indefinitely.  When the “books” are finally reconciled,  expect a mass of people to be searching for answers.  Their dreams will have been destroyed, their hearts will be filled with fear, and they will be angry.  It will be needful for those who are being prepared to serve up some “good” fruit.  It is imperative that we continue our maturing process as the current system grows weaker by the day.  Someone will be called upon to direct those in despair to return to a state of true values.  Jesus was empowered to feed those who were hungry.  Rest assured, that power is still available to those who will be prepared to utilize it in a lawful and Loving manner.

We at Servias Ministries will continue our efforts to minister life, Love, and instruction for the purpose of maturing our brethren.  We believe unity brings forth strength in times of chaos and transition.  Division is designed to keep you weak.  Promote unity, we are!

1/11 for 11 days

Friday, January 10th, 2014

I will be on a “special” mission for 11 days beginning on the 11th and will have limited access to the Internet.  I don’t expect to write any blogs during that period unless Our Heavenly Father decides something different.  For those who haven’t yet watched our online broadcasts of “Raising a Remnant”, I encourage you to do so.  We archive them so you are not required to watch them live.  Go to  http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-baptism-of-love  It is best to watch them in order.  If you get a single, fresh revelation in 75 minutes of viewing, isn’t it worth it?  You don’t even have to travel a thousand miles to get it.  What a deal!

Pressing toward the Goal

Friday, January 10th, 2014

I expect 2014 to be a year of “variables”.  When I was a boy, life was pretty simple.  The economy was stable, our family had one car, and mom stayed home, taking care of two boys.  The warmth and wind dried our clothes outside on a clothesline.  Today, the complexities of this society have increased exponentially.  There are so many diversions to your focus and so many opinions, you must make a decision on who you believe to be looking out for your best interest.  Major corporations own news agencies and television networks now.  They promote the own subtle agendas through the media.  They hand pick celebrities who will reflect their motives.  They will parade a group of highly credentialed economists in front of the camera to assure us that Janet Yellen is the perfect person to run the Federal Reserve Bank.  Who is wise enough and smart enough to keep the wheels on the financial wagon in the U.S., given the current conditions?  In one word… nobody.

The current system is based on assumptions, conclusions, and incomplete information.  For all practical purposes, it is another long term experiment.  The experiment spans decades thus it is difficult for an individual to assess its current status.  Only those who have a broader perspective can see the trend of currency destruction that continues unabated.  When my dad complained of inflation, I had no perspective or appreciation of his comments.  “Fifty cents for a cup of coffee?  Unbelievable!”  Now I find myself exclaiming the same thing but with larger numbers.  When I was in college, the oil companies would have “gas wars” and the price of a gallon of gas would drop down to 19 cents, from 28-32 cent range.  Have our wages kept up with inflation?  No.  Inflation hurts most of society.  It simply provides the illusion of economic health for a period of time.  We are in the latter stages of currency destruction now.  It is like reporting on a slow-motion train wreck.  How long will it be before we reach the tipping point of a harsh economic event?  Only Our Heavenly Father knows.  Everyone else must simply guess.

To serve my brothers and sisters in the best way I can, I write what I hear and comprehend Our Heavenly Father is expressing to me.  I now have a 42 year track record of hearing HIS Voice.  Over that period, I have fallen into the ditch several times by not listening and responding.  As a loving Father, HE has picked me up, encouraged me, corrected me, then continued my training.  The one thing I now have is perspective.  I have gratitude and appreciation for HIS deliverance out of the throes death, destruction, disease, and other events that many experience.

When will the second coming of Christ occur?  I have been hearing that question for nearly four decades.  My current belief:  When the Sons of GOD are sufficiently matured, not a minute sooner.  Do you think Our Heavenly Father would allow a vacuum of leadership?  HE never has.  HE has raised up heathen kings to do HIS bidding as needed.  Until the remnant is ready, the current system will be kept in place.

Are you going to observe the coming of the Kingdom or are you going to participate?  There is an old saying:  There are three types of people-  Those that make things happen, those that watch things happen, and those that wonder what happened.  If you are not drawn to preparation, you must ask yourself why.  Paul spoke about “pressing toward the mark” in Philippians 3:

12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Are you led by The Spirit or by your cravings?  Out of you belly will come one of two results: lust or Living Water.  Paul warned of the first scenario:

17 Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. 18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things.

Jesus promised the second scenario on the 8th Day of Tabernacles:

John 7:37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart (or belly) will flow rivers of living water.”

I write economics blogs to help you navigate through the times ahead in order that you may prepare spiritually.  Our goal with the writings, books, and online broadcasts are to prepare and mature those who are led to participate in the “second coming”, not just observe.  The mature son is the one who will be given the power and authority, not the one who simply “watched” events unfold.  Think about it.

Devaluing the Proud

Thursday, January 9th, 2014

The word “Proud” means: showing one’s self above others, overtopping, conspicuous above others, pre-eminent

There is much activity occurring concerning the “proud”.  Stephen Jones is heading up a prayer campaign concerning “resistance”.  We are looking at “giving circles” to help fund those who are fighting, resisting the human trafficking around the world.  The “Proud” attempt to devalue everyone else by exalting themselves in stature due to money, power, intelligence, fame, and/or athleticism.  The rest of society empowers them by agreeing to exalt them.  Without followers, the “Proud” have no audience.  It is well known that Wall Street had disdain for the average man.  They think they are superior to everyone else since they work at the center of Mystery Babylon.  They are in company with the “Proud” who work inside the beltway in D.C.  In each case, their power comes from the submission and passiveness of the masses.   What would happen to the NFL or NBA is no one showed up to their games or watched them on TV?  Salaries would plummet.  Stardom would fade away.  Pro athletes need followers.  What does Our Heavenly Father think about the “Proud”?

1 Peter 5:5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for

​​​“God resists the proud,

​​But gives grace to the humble.”

Peter further writes:

6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

The flesh or ego exalts the “Proud” and Our Heavenly Father exalts the humble.. in due time.  Mankind is currently perpetuating the path of the “Proud”.  This is while Our Heavenly Father is resisting them.  HE mocks the mockers.  A mocker is a scoffer: someone who jeers or mocks or treats something with contempt or calls out in derision.  The true colors will show themselves soon.  People will no longer support those who devalue mankind.  The “elite” are only in their position because of the blindness of the average person.  As people turn to Our Heavenly Father and take on HIS priorities and set their own priorities aside, the proud will be resisted.  An example of this is when you trade in your country’s currency for a gold or silver coin.  Effectively, you have removed financial control from others, you have devalued the fiat currency.  They rely on the use of fiat currency to control the economic activity in your country.  This is why the Federal Reserve was established- for control.

In other countries, the U.S. is seen as being “proud”.  The pre-eminence of its economy and military has rubbed its power in the face of other countries.  Its dominant economy has been too much for other countries to challenge.  But it is not too much for Our Heavenly Father to deal with.  What happens when HE becomes our adversary?  A devaluation occurs, with extreme prejudice.  When this happens, HE will give grace to the humble, those who live in moderation.  Can you see how the Spiritual preparation is tying to the economic preparation of what’s ahead?  The Chinese are being moved to decouple economic activity from the U.S. Dollar.  They are being used as agents to resist the proud, whether they know it or not.  When this decoupling occurs, we all should be prepared, based on what Our Heavenly Father has instructed us to do.  HE knows the plan and will implement it in perfection.  As we trust in HIM, we will be the ones who receive grace.

2014 Macro View

Wednesday, January 8th, 2014

John Williams’ latest commentary on the state of the U.S. economy and dollar:

Extremely Difficult Circumstances in the Year Ahead:

Confluence of Economic and Systemic Crises Should Intensify
With Global Confidence in Dollar Rattled by Uncontrollable Fiscal and Monetary Excesses,
U.S. Government and the Federal Reserve Have Limited Options to Address Panics
Heavy Selling of U.S. Dollar Remains Likely Proximal Trigger for Inflation Pick-Up
Developing Hyperinflation Would Push Ongoing Recession into Deep Depression
Physical Gold Remains Primary Hedge for Preserving Wealth and Assets

John is an expert on the macroeconomic statistics generated by the federal government.  If anyone understands the brevity of the problem, it is him.  I would not take lightly his comments.  Timing is always difficult in the “macro” arena, but the numbers tell the story.

Peace on Earth

Wednesday, January 8th, 2014

Psalm 31:20   Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

Peace on earth begins in the Presence of Our Heavenly Father.  From there, it spreads outward toward mankind.  In the above passage, “Thou shalt” is a declaration that we will be hidden away from the plots, conspiracies, intrigues, and attacks from men.  Further, we will be spared from their strife, accusations, contentiousness, anger, and poisonous gossip.  Our Heavenly Father will hide us in HIS pavilion.  The word pavilion means booth or tabernacle.  We will be dwelling with HIM in secret.  In HIS Presence is no strife or anger.  Who is invited into HIS pavilion?  The previous verse (19) tells us:

Oh, how great is Your goodness,

​​Which You have laid up for those who fear You,

​​Which You have prepared for those who trust in You

​​In the presence of the sons of men!

As we have gone into detail in our weekly Bible study, the “fear of the LORD” is the beginning of wisdom.  Ask, seek, and knock correlate to wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.  Are you constantly in turmoil?  Seek to be in HIS Presence.  Are you constantly being attacked by others?  Enter into HIS pavilion.  In the final analysis, all of the solutions to your problems are found in HIS Presence, nowhere else!!!  Yet man seeks every other path for answers.  Why?  He does not want to die to the flesh, but instead, he wants to “have it his way” rather than serve mankind.  Isn’t it time to put away the childish things of the flesh?  The Great Love Chapter of the Bible says it this way:

1 Corinthians 13:11  When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

A sign of maturity is to seek HIS Presence.  The immature continue to run to and fro looking for signs as their guide to life.  We must be careful about signs: all signs are from GOD, but not all signs are relevant:

Matthew 12:39 But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

A sign is defined as: an object, quality, or event whose presence or occurrence indicates the probable presence or occurrence of something else.

Would you rather have a sign from Our Heavenly Father or be in HIS Presence?  There is no lasting peace in a sign.  It is a temporary comfort.  On the other hand, HIS Presence is lasting.  Over the years, I have seen many gone astray by “majoring” on signs, myself included.  One who pays too much attention to signs can be easily distracted into fruitlessness.  Signs are primarily to confirm HIS Word to you, not the opposite.  If you are constantly looking for a sign, you will find it.

Ezekiel 14:4   Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;

Our Heavenly Father will oblige you with signs if that is what you want.  As for me, I would rather be in HIS Presence.  Do you want the real thing or the representation of the real thing?  If you are a sign seeker, repent, then focus on receiving wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.  Our Heavenly Father will respond:

Matthew 7:7-8   Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Again, HE Loves you!

The Three Intents of Man

Tuesday, January 7th, 2014

Mankind is generally motivated by one of three different intents.  All three may be operating simultaneously in the same individual depending on the circumstances.  That tends to cause confusion in the person’s mind and is one of the reasons why people will not change.  They look at only a portion of their actions and point to them as though the lower levels of intent were not operating in them.  Thus they rationalize why they don’t need to grow, a sign of immaturity.  These three intents parallel the three feasts Our Heavenly Father established for all men to observe:  Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles.  They also parallel three types of “love”.

Selfishness is the “love” of self and is focused on preserving one’s current state.  Fear is a primary motivator for this type of person.  They are afraid of giving up their current state of existence, they have fear of the unknown.  They are also afraid of being rejected.  Everything they do and think is centered around self-preservation, even at the expense of others.  They will subtly scheme to get their way and are lawless in their hearts even though they may appear to be compliant.  They seek salvation to save their souls.  After all, none of us want to die or burn in hell.  Immature Christians often stay in this category for they want to maintain their “fire” insurance and still preserve their current self-motivated walk.  They have an attitude of division:  me versus everyone else.

The Law was given at Pentecost.  Hearing Our Heavenly Father’s Voice was at the center of this event.  Moses received the Ten Commandments and fellowshipped with Our Heavenly Father.  This feast parallels phileo love.  This type of love is conditional, the second type of intent.  If you do this or that, I will love you.  This is akin to a contract, or legal agreement.  In the church environment, this attitude of conditions has been perpetuated and has permeated the thinking of Christians.  If you pray enough, you will be healed.  If you cry enough, Our Heavenly Father will finally heal you.  If you confess enough prosperity Scriptures, you will be financially rewarded.  This type of love centers around the Law of conditions.  This group views their relationship to Our Heavenly Father primarily through the Law.  HE is viewed as the enforcer and will punish those who challenge HIM.  This group also has an attitude of division:  us against them.  This intent is focused on enforcement of behavior according to some law.

The third intent of man is represented by unconditional Love. The Law is no longer the primary focus because those who walking according to this level of intent need no enforcement.  They cheerfully walk out their life laying down their life for others.  Does that do away with the Law?  No.  They simply obey the intent of the Law and are not subject to its enforcement.  The third feast (Tabernacles) parallels this understanding.  It promotes unity among the brethren.  Men have progressed passed the conditional aspects of phileo love.  “Self” has finally died and is no longer a motivating force.  Does this do away with the Law?  No.  The Law arises out of Our Heavenly Father’s Divine Intent to create order.  By necessity, the Law is kept in place for those who are operating in the selfish and conditional states.

The Age of Pentecost has been a time where all three states would operate simultaneously.  You might be selfish one day, conditionally love the next, and finally act in a selfless Love.  The problem is inconsistency.  As we mature, we shed the selfishness.  Those acts and thoughts occur less often.  As we take on Our Heavenly Father’s nature, we will begin to see those around us in the various states of intent.  We will require enforcement of “the law” only to help them grow in their own understanding of the three types of intent, not to gain personal satisfaction of being an enforcer.  Our Heavenly Father did not do away with the Law when HE sent HIS Son.  Jesus revealed the intent behind The Law.  The Law is still in place and will continue to be enforced until the intent of all men is Love.  Until then, expect judgment to occur, for corrective purposes only… For GOD so LOVED!

Maturing in Love

Monday, January 6th, 2014

Yesterday, we considered the Lampstand in the Holy Place.  It provides light and revelation to the one who seeks to enter into the Holy of Holies.  It is also a reference to agape Love.  The seven candles and twenty-two almond blossoms denote the mathematical relationship of pi ( π 22/7), a never ending number.  The number π is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter and is approximately equal to 3.14159. π happens to be the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet.  16 is also the number of Love.

Love cannot be defined and nor does it have a beginning or end.  We can better appreciate the need for light and revelation in order to completely mature in the fullness of Love.  This maturing in Love is reflected in the feasts of Israel:

Passover:   immature Love directed towards “self”

Pentecost:  Phileo Love, conditional and legalistic

Tabernacles:  Agape Love, unconditional and mature

The Feast of Tabernacles (or Booths) is broken up into 7 days + 1 day.  One could equate the seven days with the seven pillars of wisdom, somewhat like a path to Spiritual maturity.  A booth, a temporary dwelling place, was to be constructed as a reminder to us that each phase of our path to maturity is a temporary dwelling place and not forsake the path we are on by ceasing to mature and creating a permanent structure.

Proverbs 9:1 

Wisdom has built her house,
She has hewn out her seven pillars;

Proverbs 8 lists these seven pillars:

12  “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
And find out knowledge and discretion.

13  The fear of the LORD is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverse mouth I hate.

14  Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, I have strength.

We continue to live in a “booth” as our house is built with wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.  Our goal is to mature to that eighth day referenced in the Feast of Tabernacles:

Leviticus 23:

33 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 34 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the LORD. 35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it. 36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it. 

An offering made by fire refers to our “flesh” being burned up, removing the sin nature.  The number 8 represents new beginnings.  Once our house is built with the seven pillars, it is filled with HIS riches and HIS glory:

Proverbs 24:

3  Through wisdom a house is built,
And by understanding it is established;

4  By knowledge the rooms are filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.

As we reach the full maturity of Love, its Baptism and Revelation, we will have a treasury to draw from in order that we can fully serve mankind.  Our online Bible studies, our books, and these writing are designed to move us toward that eighth day of full maturity to become HIS full expression of Love on earth.  HIS Kingdom come, HIS Will be done.
