Nourished Joints

Friday, June 27th, 2014

Back in 2002, I began to suffer anterior(inside) knee pain when I jogged.  I quit for awhile and tried again, same results.  Later, a friend suggested I get custom shoes made so I went to a local shoemaker who turned out to also make orthotic inserts.  Orthopedic surgeons sent their patients to his company to be fitted after surgery.  He told me that since I dealt with the issue early, inserts would manage the problem but I should quit jogging and move to low impact exercise.  I was getting older and my joints were not supporting my exercise regimen any longer.  Either no more jogging or risk probable knee surgery.  Bummer.

I talked to Doug, my vitamin supplement expert and he suggested I begin taking “Super Limber” to start feeding my joints.  I bought an elliptical workout machine for my cardio workout but it just isn’t the same as running.

Last year, I experimented with jogging again.  Knee pain was no longer an issue.  I believe the inserts corrected my gait and the Super Limber has helped my joints thus allowing me to jog again.

Pain is the messenger to tell you something needs attention.  My friends are also taking Super Limber.  One is a framing contractor climbing ladders all day.  One could not kneel down without pain until he started taking Super Limber.  His doctor wanted some as well.  Another is a policeman who gets irritated with his wife if he runs low.  Each individual is unique in his needs.

I set up www.creationsnutrients.us to help other people obtain quality vitamins and supplements at a reasonable price.  I am not interested in “cheap”, I’m interested in value.  I have been to the manufacturing facility and know that Doug buys the best and appropriate ingredients for his product.  He is more concerned about effectiveness than he is about making an extra buck by compromising the process.  I have a 15 year history with Doug and his passion for providing supplements to encourage good health.  I prefer to spend money on prevention of health issues than to simply respond to the issues when they arise.  Pam and I have taken this path and take no pharmaceuticals.

If you suffer from joint pain, you might want to try Super Limber for 3 months.  I, myself and my buddies did.  It worked for us and we all have continued this alternative to orthodox medicine’s approach of knee replacement.  It isn’t a quick fix.  It won’t heal you but it will provide the body with the building blocks for the body to heal itself… which is what the body is designed to do.

When you sign up as a customer of www.creationsnutrients.us , you can check a box to direct 5% of your purchase to this ministry or a couple of other ministries.  You pay no more for the product, we simply make less profit and support a ministry.

This year I ran a half marathon (13.1 miles) with my daughter and son-in-law.  Back in 2002 I never considered that to be a possibility in the future.  It’s never too late to change your course in the matter of health.  I am a testimony to that truth.

A Comment to the Dream

Thursday, June 26th, 2014

Hi Bob,

Thank you for sharing this dream revelation.

In our lives the dream likens the dilapidated structure to our standing before God, imperfect but in His love and mercy, adequate to withstand the hail to the extent it protects our spiritual vitals as in He protects our head as in being part of the Body of Christ.

The clusters of hailstones plummet in stillness where the omission of wind depicts the absence of Holy Spirit as His judgment prevails from all angles (45 degrees) to reach under the guise of self righteousness while sparing those in Truth and Love. In clustered form as specific and targeted that those of innocence may not receive the fullness of judgment as it surrounds them.

We are not struck as aspiring overcomers as He defends us from His specific wrath but to see His judgment in Truth and not be afraid.

"And the waters will overflow the hiding place".

Thanks to my friend from “Down Under”.

I found out this morning from my wife who was up late that there was much spiritual activity before 3 AM.  She handled it thus I was not required to get up at 3 but instead fell back asleep.  Now that’s teamwork.

Great Hailstones

Thursday, June 26th, 2014

I awoke from a dream this morning at 3 AM.  This is my standard time of Spiritual activity so it seems.

I was under a dilapidated structure even though it supplied sufficient protection from the hailstones.  The hailstones were the size of bowling balls and they came down at a 45 degree angle in clusters, there was no apparent wind.  They were traveling at a high speed and I was agile enough to make sure they did not hit me.  No one knew when the event would end so someone placed me in a position to protect my head.  The dream ended, I awoke, it was 3 AM.

As usual, I waited to see if I was to get out of bed per HIS instructions.  I fell back to sleep, awoke 3 hours later and was told to write the dream, still vivid in my mind.

Isaiah 28:17  

Also I will make justice the measuring line,
And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place.

In Scripture, hail represents judgment raised as a standard, resulting in truth, and I expect great truths to be coming forth soon.  The lies will be exposed as the standard of Love and Truth will rise as the measuring line and plummet.  Justice and righteousness are fruit of Love, Our Heavenly Father’s Divine Intent.  We should expect and not be surprised when the various Truths are fully exposed.

The seventh plague on Egypt was great hailstones.  The number seven represents Spiritual perfection.

Exodus 9:

18 Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause very heavy hail to rain down, such as has not been in Egypt since its founding until now. 19 Therefore send now and gather your livestock and all that you have in the field, for the hail shall come down on every man and every animal which is found in the field and is not brought home; and they shall die.

20 He who feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his livestock flee to the houses. 21 But he who did not regard the word of the LORD left his servants and his livestock in the field.

I present this dream as instructed.  It is up to the reader to receive whatever witness there may be contained in the above.

Jesus prays for you and me

Wednesday, June 25th, 2014

In John 17, Jesus Prayed the following prayer for all Believers:

 

20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. 26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

 

Think about it.  Jesus prayed that the Love with which Our Heavenly Father Loved Him, may be in us also.  Further, that He, Jesus Christ, is in us.  Jesus spoke only the words given to Him from Our Heavenly Father.  This is the witness on earth to express and bring forth the Love of Our Heavenly Father to each of us.  Accept this prayer today and receive the fullness of HIS Love today and let it become fully operational in your life today.

“That they all may be one” is a prayer for unity among the brethren.  This is the essence of unity153.net.  This is the purpose of Servias Ministries, to bring forth the understanding of Love and unity for all mankind.  Jesus’ prayer for the disciples prepared them to be endued with power from On High.  May we also be ready to be fully endued with power from On High in order that we may minister to all.

Are Silver & Gold about to head north?

Tuesday, June 24th, 2014

For those who own physical silver and/or silver stocks, the following article makes some notable points about what is going on in the metals markets:

http://blog.milesfranklin.com/its-a-trap

The U.S. continues to alienate the rest of the world with its arrogance.  The bully can only intimidate the rest of the neighborhood for so long before everyone else has finally had enough.  The manipulators of the metal have played on the emotions of the investors, believing they could minimize the demand for silver as well as gold.  Those who believe history must be considered as a strong indicator of the ultimate direction of these metals have taken these times to add to their positions.  Patience rewards those who are not swayed by the tactics of the manipulators.

Inflation in food prices has definitely shown up in our local economy.  Prices are up by at least 10% this year.  Has your paycheck or social security check increased by this amount?  Probably not.  The middle class is shrinking rapidly in the U.S. This is where economic growth has come from in the past.  As baby boomers respond to higher prices, you can be assured that they will begin to cut out any extravagance of the past.  It may take a few quarters to show up in the GDP, but expect to see retail spending weaken.

$45,000 for a new Ford pickup?  You’ve got to be kidding.  $9 for a “pick two” at the local Panera Bread?  Outrageous.  $4+ for a gallon of milk?  I am sounding like my parents now.  Our paper money continues to depreciate in value.  Physical assets are the only true stores of value in the end.  Some of them are even suspect.

Russia’s accumulation of gold:

The big march East

China has a similar graph.  They see the change coming.  The bully will be overcome and the rest of the neighborhood will go about its business.

Broadcast Technical Issues

Monday, June 23rd, 2014

Yesterday’s broadcast had several connection issues.  Since our local connection appeared to have no problem, I currently believe the problem was with ustream or one of the carriers between us.   Hopefully you are able to navigate through the multiple recordings generated yesterday.  The first one and the  last lengthy recording are probably the best ones to watch.

Power in the Spirit

Monday, June 23rd, 2014

It is my belief that a result of being fully baptized in Love is having power in the Spirit.  From the purity of Love emanates the power to proclaim the following:

Luke 4:

18 ​​“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,

​​Because He has anointed Me

​​To preach the gospel to the poor;

​​He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

​​To proclaim liberty to the captives

​​And recovery of sight to the blind,

​​To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

19 ​​To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”

Past ministries have operated in some aspect of this proclamation but for whatever reason have fallen short.  Members of our Bible study are determined to press in: asking, seeking, and knocking.  We choose to be chosen.  We make ourselves available for the marriage feast.  We are willing to die daily for all mankind.  We desire to fully operate in the fullness of the Spirit in order to minister life to all those in need.  We expect to be endued with this same power from On High.  Who can be trusted with this power but those who will walk fully and completely in Love!

The Narrow Way

Matthew 7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

We are committed to being the “few” who find The Way.  What will we do upon finding it?  We will bring it back for the benefit of all mankind.  I believe the “few” are the Remnant we have been studying in our Sunday Bible study broadcasts.  Many are too busy to be willing to set aside the required time, energy, and focus to find this Way.  Their priorities are based in this current system, not the Kingdom.  That is okay.  Each will receive the reward of their priorities.  This path is not for everyone to pursue.  It requires pressing in because the gate is narrow and the way is difficult.  As for me, not a problem.

Those who have a passion for the things of THE LORD will press in.  Those who have embraced the revelation of Love will be rewarded and will be endued with Power from On High.  We expect to be counted as good fruit from the teaching of Jesus Christ and the Apostles.  The temptations of the devil were necessary as the final test of maturity of Jesus before He began His ministry.  As we die to the flesh, the devil has no foothold in us either.  We also expect to operate in this same power as our elder brother.  Now is the time!

The Outward reflects the Inward

Sunday, June 22nd, 2014

Ultimately, your intent is expressed by your actions.  Your actions represent your fruit.  Your fruit will be up for inspection.

We are not able to judge a man’s heart but we are able to judge fruit.  As each of us matures, we should produce less bad fruit and more good fruit.  The works of the flesh should no longer be habitual.  The fruit of the Spirit should replace those works of the flesh.  This is what dying to the flesh is all about: be led by the Holy Spirit.

In the letter to the Galatians, Paul explains that trying to conform to the Law by the outward act of circumcision does not change the heart.  The issue is intent and behavior reflects your intent.  The inside must change.  We must have a change of heart and then we must choose to follow a new path, no longer pursuing the path associated with the lusts or cravings we attempted to satisfy in our past.  You cannot fellowship with those who are pursuing the lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.  You will ultimately revert back to your old ways.  You become like the company you keep.

There is a difference between ministry and fellowship.  We are called to minister to those pursuing darkness. However, we are not to fellowship and partake of their current path.  If you are weak or immature, you are not ready to minister to those pursuing sin.  You need to separate yourself from the temptations present among those who walk in darkness.  It is better to Love from a distance and insure your own growth and maturity.  You must protect your heart.  You must not let the pressure created by others impact your growth.  After all, misery loves company and they will do anything they can to bring you back into their fold.  If you are worried about their souls, take comfort in the fact that Our Heavenly Father will deal with them at the right time and right place.  You should focus on maturing and producing good fruit.

Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Paul simply states the path we should pursue- walk in the Spirit.  This should be our daily focus.  He details the works of the flesh:

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Read this list slowly and consider each one closely.  Are you guilty of anything on this list?  Stop it.  Repent.  Now focus on producing good fruit:

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law

Focus on actions that produce this fruit.  Remove the temptations that keep you from this focus.  It is your choice of which path you take.  Your choice is associated with your intent.  What path will you pursue?  Redirect your mind by reading Scriptures that support Love, peace, and joy.  Read books that focus on these topics.  Reread those books that have had a positive and direct impact on you.  Build yourself up in these areas.  Make your mind a servant to your spirit.  As a man thinks, so is he.  At some point you will no longer pursue your old priorities.

Philippians 4:8  Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

When you pursue, focus, and spend time on these attributes of walking in the Spirit, you are “meditating” on these things.  As you meditate, you will notice a heart change.  Depending on how much you have sown in darkness, it may take some time to harvest some good fruit.  Don’t give up.

You reap what you sow

Saturday, June 21st, 2014

What are you sowing in your life?  All you need to do is to look at the fruit in your life and that fruit will provide a realistic view of the seeds you have planted in the past.  We find this truth many places in Scripture:

Job 4:8  Even as I have seen,
Those who plow iniquity
And sow trouble reap the same.

Proverbs 22:8  He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow,
And the rod of his anger will fail.

2 Corinthians 9:6  But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

Galatians 6:6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.  7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

The Law of reaping and sowing is a fundamental law established in Genesis: seedtime and harvest.  If you plant seeds of lawlessness, expect those seeds to produce fruit of like kind.

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The United States is not immune to judgment.  The above list can be found in the headlines all over this country.  Living among all of this sin can have an effect of us individually.  We must remain vigilant and not let the attitudes of the current society impact our personal integrity and commitment.  If this country is weighed in the balance, will it be found wanting?

The current economic system is the epitome of unjust weights and measures and is controlled by a small group of “elites”.  Our Heavenly Father will judge this current system as well as us as individuals.  Babylon is found at the beginning of Scripture, in the middle, and at the end.  Our Heavenly Father is slow to anger but in the end HE will judge the fruit.  The Law of equal weights and measures will be used to assess the fruit of all.  The handwriting is on the wall, you will reap what you sow.  If you have corrupt fruit being produced in your life, repent.  Pluck up the bad fruit through the prayer of forgiveness.  Let not the mature in Christ think they are immune from the subtlety of lawlessness.  Only those with a pure heart shall see GOD.
