Greetings in Jesus…
So here we are already in May of 2013! I can’t believe how fast things are going now! I want to start out by saying THANK YOU SO MUCH to those of you who are helping this ministry to continue on in this late hour through your prayers and financial support. Really!
First, I Apologize!
Some of you got removed from the mailing list last month. There was a mix-up but you’re back on again until the end of this year when you’ll need to renew again. Sorry! Satan happens!
The Boston Bombing & the Double Whammy?
So here we go again, more terrorism in our country! We have all heard everything that took place. And of course these young men were Muslims again. I’m not going to call these radical Muslims as our mainstream news does, but fundamentalist Muslims. Just Muslims who take their religion much more serious than most Christians in this country do. But could there be a whammy here? Or perhaps a double whammy? What else took place? We know of the 20 square block door to door search for that young man finally found in that boat in someone’s back yard. But what about the rest of Boston? Over two million people were told to not leave their homes! Don’t go to work, school or anything else! Stay in your homes! Really? This has never been done before! Wasn’t this a bit of an over kill? Can you imagine this taking place in Nashville, Tucson, Albuquerque or any other large city?
Question: Could this have been a test by the New World Order boys to see if other major populaces would also comply? Well, all of Boston did! Seems we have major terror storms taking place today. But why the overkill? And what is the real agenda? Not enough room in this month’s newsletter for all of this but if you want to gain the bigger picture, I would suggest watching the DVD Terror Storm. Available for a gift of any amount.
Beware of the Constitutional Convention!
In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.”
“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years.
During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.”
United States of America
Born 1776, Died 2013? Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election: Number of States won by: Obama: 19; Romney: 29. Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000; Romney: 2,427,000.
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million. Romney: 143 million.
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2; Romney: 2.1.
Professor Olson adds: “In aggregate, the map of the territory Romney won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country. Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare…” Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the “complacency and apathy” phase of Professor Tyler’s definition of democracy, with 40% of the nation’s population already having reached the “governmental dependency” phase. If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals – and they vote – then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
Beware of a Constitutional Convention!
Benjamin Franklin was asked, what form of government the United States was going to have. He answered matter of factly,”A Republic, if you can keep it.” He had fascinating insight into the future! It’s disheartening that otherwise logical people are calling for a Constitutional Convention (the States’ ability to change the Constitution)…purportedly to deal with our failing dollar. There are 16 trillion reasons we desperately need a balanced budget. The idea is that changing the Constitution is the only way we can pass a balanced budget amendment.
Problem is, once the Constitution is opened up to change anything, everything in the constitution would be on the table. The result would be that our constitution, as we know it, would be open to politically correct change. With our civil rights, 2nd Amendment and minority protections already hanging by a thread, who in their right mind would allow a majority of today’s politicians from EITHER party to vote on ANY changes to the constitution??
For years Liberals have salivated at the prospect of changing the Constitution, which is a conservative, rights-protecting document. Some say this could never happen, but there are both liberals and conservatives (wolves in sheep’s clothing) trying for this very thing to happen!!! Another issue is there are no rules for a Constitutional Change!! n So who would be in charge of it?! Liberal Republicans or the Democrats? Do you see a problem here? The change makers would be the most powerful force in our country and not like the mostly God-fearing group of men who first penned the Constitution. Can you imagine ANY of OUR politicians TODAY choosing issues to change?
We have enough trouble with Congress WITH rules. At the height of the Obamacare vote, it’s estimated that some 70-75% of Americans were against even the concept of nationalized healthcare. Yet it passed without having been read!
Lest you think I’m nuts even talking about this, the following states that have officially called for a Constitutional Change: AK, AL, AZ, CO, DE, GA, IA, ID, IN, KS, MD, MI, MS, NC, ND, NE, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WY !!!!! And, they only need 3 more states to agree to it to have the go ahead to CHANGE OUR CONSTITUTION!!!!!
Hypothetically speaking…
Also, ANY crisis could precipitate a call to change the Constitution!!! Take your pick. Financial, disease, weather, military… who knows!! And who would make the call!!!???!!! OBAMA!!! This would give the President and his staff the authority to take over pretty much everything … food, livestock, farming equipment, manufacturing, industry, energy, transportation, hospitals, water, defense, construction, etc. He can even authorize Martial Law, regulate the Internet and cell phones, and even suspend Habeas Corpus. (By the way, right after the Boston bombing in April, the gov’t shut down cell phone towers so ‘more bombs couldn’t go off from a cell signal.’) If he felt things weren’t going just right (his way), you can forget Fox News and conservative talk radio. That’s a lot of power! We do know that Homeland Security seems to be preparing to deal with some type of crisis and recently purchased 1.6 billion rounds of ammo. We also know Homeland Security is also taking delivery on thousands of MRAP (mine resistant) armored vehicles with bullet proof glass and gun ports. This is not our Department of Defense preparing for war with our enemies, it’s our Department of Homeland Security preparing for…. what? War against us? And, how is it that we’re paring down the Department of Defense, who is charged with protecting us and massively revving up Homeland Security? What the heck are they preparing for?
God blessed this nation with wisdom, might, and religious freedom for His eternal purposes. Our founding Fathers feared and respected the Lord. Until our leadership understands that we serve and are accountable to a living risen Lord, we’ll continue down this path of self-inflicted destruction. Until our leadership understands that God is in control, not people, we’ll reap what we sow. Until our leaders seek God’s will, not Satan’s, we’ll reap what we sow. Until our leaders understand that hell is a real place and all other priorities in this world pale in comparison, we’ll reap what we sow. Until our leaders repent from a God-less agenda, we’ll reap what we sow.
Just Before the Rapture…
So much is happening so fast in this late hour. It’s difficult for many of us to believe it! Bible prophecy is being fulfilled at a rate of terminal velocity! Yet so many in this world have no clue as to what is taking place. Including much of the church! It seems history is repeating itself. Just as the religious leaders were shortly before the first coming of Christ, most religious leaders of today have no idea where we are in light of Bible prophecy. That’s why we really don’t hear very much anymore about our blessed hope or the Rapture of the Church anymore. Few churches even mention this at all! And we are even hearing this less and less on Christian radio and TV. So, what you think it will be like just before the Rapture of the Church? Well, we know from Scripture many things! There will be wars and rumors of wars, there will be earthquakes in diverse places; that’s all going on, even sinkholes too! There will be signs in the heavens, how many meteors have we heard about lately? And Scripture also tells us it will be like the time of Sodom and Gomorrah. Look at the gay movement today! The whole same-sex marriage thing going on. unbelievable!
We’ve also had the stepping down of a Pope only to be replaced by the first Jesuit Pope in history! There is a Catholic prophecy, not Christian but Catholic prophecy, that says the last pope would be called Peter. There were so many watching to see if he would choose his name to be Peter but he chose Francis right? But guess what! Apparently, this Pope is also called Peter! Here’s what Fox news reported just as this new Pope was about to be announced. “This means the entire world can rejoice that half of the world’s population can produce a man who will lead the church and will be Peter. It’s very important to note that the man has 3 names. His baptismal name is Jorge and then he will come out and tell us what his name will be as Pope and he may very well choose the name of Benedict the 17th or he might choose Leo the 14th, but he is also going to be Peter.” !!!
Scripture also tells us in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doc-trines of devils. There have never been so many cults out there than what we have right now! Not to mention false teachers and false prophets within the Church! Could we be living in the time the Bible speaks of concerning what will be taking place just before the Rapture of the Church?
I just recently aired the audio portion of a new DVD by Mike Gendron titled: “Just Before the Rapture.” If you would like a copy, it’s available for a gift of any amount this month and as always, do feel free to make copies and share with others!
Why Mid & Post Trib Rapture Can’t Happen…
There is a major false teaching out there within the Church. Well, there’s many but this one is really growing fast and has many parallels with the cults. It has to do with the timing of the Rapture of the Church. Now, most mainstream cults such as Mormonism, the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Catholicism don’t even believe in the Rapture or catching up of the Church as we find in 1st Thess. Ch.4. Other cult groups believe in a mid or post tribulation Rapture. But this heresy has now entered into some Christian circles as well. Especially now as we’re coming down to the wire. Some are getting afraid that God is not going to keep His promise on this event. And some do not understand that the Rapture of the Church and the Second Coming of Christ are two separate events. Did you know there’s 7 Scriptural problems with a Mid Trib Rapture and 14 Scriptural problems with a mid or Post Tribulation Rapture? If you’re one of those who have already been indoctrinated into a Mid or Post Trib Rapture teaching and wish to remain willingly ignorant on this topic, now would be a good time to quit reading. But if you’re a Berean wanting to know what is really accurate, you may want to see the DVD just recently aired and why Mid & Post Trib rapture just can’t happen. God is not going to pour out His wrath on His Bride! Now we might experience some major trials and tribulations before the Rapture takes place since Jesus promised this too! Christians are being killed everyday day in this world for their faith in Christ and sometimes even here in America. And this is on the increase. You too may have to die for your faith in Jesus one day. So, the question is: How can you be willing to die for Christ if you’re not willing to live for Him now!
If you want a copy of this new DVD, it’s available for a gift of any amount this month and as always, do feel free to make copies and share with others! Just ask for it by name: “Why Mid & Post Trib Rapture Can’t Happen” by Paul Van Noy
Soros, Obama & the UN Plan to Rule the World…!
There are so many things taking place at the same time in this late hour, it’s getting kind of hard to grasp. Not to mention keep up on. There is a man by the name of Cliff Kincaid who had the opportunity to speak at a Compass International Conference again. Cliff is a journalist, researcher and reporter in the Washington DC area. He’s also a Christian. He has access to places and information few Christians have. He learns what he can, then brings this information out wherever he can, including being a speaker at Compass International. Sort of a spy for Jesus! He’s in kind of a dangerous situation so you might want to keep him in your prayers. During a recent talk he covered many areas: The old Pope, the new Pope, the New Age Movement, the Gay agenda, Drones, the apostasy of the Church, the communist takeover, the economy, the advancement of the Muslim Brotherhood growth in America with the help from Al Gore, the New World Order, the Middle East & Israel, the Russians, the meditation room at the Pentagon, Obama & the United Nations plan to rule the world and so much more!
Now Cliff comes right out saying he’s not a prophet or anything. He’s just a journalist who’s dealing with the facts. But these facts are facts you won’t hear on the mainstream news or at church. But if you know God’s Word and where we are in light of Bible prophecy, you’ll understand better on what he brings out here. Also just recently aired.
This new DVD is also available this month for a gift of any amount and as always you are encouraged to make copies and get out to others! Share it at your church or fellowship! Just ask for Cliff Kincaid’s talk called, “Soros, Obama & the UN Plan to Rule the world.”
Buying Time as America Crashes…
America as we have known it is weakening fast! Now I know most of us don’t really want to hear this but we need to deal with the facts. If time endures we must ask our-selves what will it be like in America in 2018? Back in the 70’s & 80’s we were saying Jesus is coming soon! But this lead to an attitude within the Church saying, “don’t worry, be happy!” The Rapture is coming soon so it doesn’t really matter what happens in America. Really? Well that was then but this is now, and as a result of Christians doing nothing and being so apathetic, we are now experiencing the taking out of what was once a great nation! Now don’t get me wrong! I totally believe the Rapture of the Church could take place at any time! But I also believe we are experiencing the reaping and sowing law which God established. So what do you think it will be like for Christians in this nation in 2018? And what should we be doing to buy time as America crashes? This too is a new DVD recently aired by John Loeffler. Some parts comical, other parts downright scary. Also available for a gift of any amount this month. Just ask for it by name, Buying Time as America Crashes.”
Got Evangelism?
Here’s one thing you can do to buy time as America crashes. Get people saved! Set up treasures in heaven for all eternity! As you know, my heart has always gone out to those in the cults, to those who belong to something which goes under the name of Christian yet is not. The 3 big ones of course are: Catholicism, Mormons, and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Today, we have an amazing tool called the DVD. Let’s say you were a Jehovah’s Witness and you just came out of church and you find on your car a DVD on your windshield. You would surly pick it up and look at it. And let’s say the title was, Jehovah Loves Jehovah’s Witnesses: Witnesses of Jehovah. You might wonder for a moment where it came from but as you looked around and saw these on all the other cars, you would probably think this was something given to you by those in charge of the church. (Kingdom Hall) So you and your family rush home to watch it! The curiosity builds all the way home! You finally get home and pop it in your DVD player and the whole family sits down to watch it. And what happens? For the first time in your life and the lives of your family since you joined the organization, you all learn the truth! The truth about who Jesus really is, the truth about the organization and the deceptions they have been hiding from you and the truth on how to get saved! Things these precious souls have never heard before!
“For I bare them record they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.” (Rom. 10:2-3)
I have blanketed the parking lot of a Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Hall myself but all I had were Christian tracts. All I did was went down on Sunday morning and counted how many cars were there then came back the following Sunday and put a tract on every windshield and boy, did that even make an impact! By the time their church leaders found out what I did, all the members already read the Christian tracts! Another time, I set up a phone number for Mormons to call a recorded message. Then, with a 10 foot long banner on the side of my truck just saying, “A Message For Mormons” (with the phone number), I parked right in front of the largest Mormon church in the area and went for a walk. Boy, I couldn’t believe how many Mormons called and learned the truth for the first time!
But again, today we have DVDs that are so much better! So much more effective! You could put DVDs on so many windshields then later see many of these people in heaven where I’m sure they will thank you! What I did, I did alone but you can bring a friend or two if you like; easier yet with two or three. Took me about 10 minutes but with help, wouldn’t take long at all! Plus, it’s always better to do this with another Christian friend or two. You can pray together first then go for it! Scripture tells us to do the work of an evangelist. Question is…Got evangelism? If you’re willing to do this, contact me and we’ll set up a strategic plan. Now, this is going to cost some money with what could be thousands of DVDs getting out there so if you’re someone who can help financially, any support would be greatly appreciated!
30 Club
We still have our 30 Club going. Anyone wishing to obtain everything we air each month (almost always DVDs so that’s an $80 value) may do so with a gift of $30 or more each month. If you would like to join up, now would be the time to do so. Just let me know.
Prayer Request…
In last month’s newsletter I mentioned all the crazy things that happened to me recently. How two gas tanks on my truck had to be replaced because they leaked many gallons of gas right next to my cabin, how the furnace went out and had to be replaced, how my fridge went out and had to be replaced, how an infestation of beetles were taking over my cabin, and I forgot to mention my hand pump going down my well for emergency water stopped working too! Well, my gas tank is no longer leaking, I used my camping cooler with snow until I found a used fridge that works, I used my wood burning stove for heat until the furnace was replaced, I still have the beetle problem but my hand pump in my well miraculously just started working again!Thank you for your prayers and please don’t stop! But also remember to include Darlene who helps here along with her husband Cliff, Sheryl who comes in four hours a week and Dudley in Albq, NM who gets the programs I make sent to the stations and so much more! They get attacked too! Mostly health & finances but other things can happen too. Also please pray for those to help through prayers & support!
Ending Note…
Once again I want to thank those of you who help this
ministry continue through your prayers and gifts of
support. You guys are the real heroes and are greatly
appreciated!
Yours because His:
Jim
