Loving God Under Trials

Loving God Under Trials

James 1:12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

Third Eathquake hits Israel in one week

Mon Nov 26, 2007 9:04 pm (PST)

Another earthquake hits Israel

Central Israel was shaken by a mild earthquake Friday night, the third temblor to hit the Jewish state in less than a week.

Centered on the town of Ramle (just miles from Ben Gurion International Airport), the quake registered 4.1 on the Richter scale and we felt strongly throughout the country.

Earlier in the week, two earthquakes centered on the northern end of the Dead Sea registered 3 and 4.2 on the Richter scale, respectively.

There were no reports of damage or injury following any of the earthquakes, though each prompted Israeli analysts to point out the general level of unpreparedness and lack of building safety measures in Israel, which is expected to experience a far more severe earthquake at any time. Israel sits on the Syria-Africa Rift Valley, the largest fault line in the world.

Should a Christian Celebrate Christmas?

Should a Christian Celebrate Christmas?

There is no Biblical warrant, precedent, nor precept for remembrance of the day of Christ's birth as a day of special religious celebration. This is not to say that we shouldn't remember Christ's birth and its significance, but for religious commemorations or celebrations, we must have Biblical command or precedent! The fact of the matter is this -- the early church did not celebrate Christ's birth, but such celebration only came into the church with the "Christianization" of pagan rites as Catholicism was made the state religion by Constantine in the fourth century A.D. Since the Word of God does not support the tradition of Christmas, a Christian's conscience ought not and must not be bound.

The following outline describes the origin of Christmas (with its associated pagan customs, symbols, and terminology), details the Scriptural support against celebrating Christmas, attempts to show that celebrating Christmas violates the spirit of every one of the ten commandments, attempts to demonstrate that celebrating Christmas does not fall in the realm of Christian liberty, and attempts to debunk eight of the major rationalizations Christians put forth for celebrating Christmas.

The Believer's War Cry

The Believer's War Cry -- Ephesians 6:10-14
           
A righteous believer is Satan's enemy. The greater our impact for God's kingdom, the harder he works to stir up frustration, doubt, and anxiety. The apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Ephesian believers, warning them that the Devil would scheme against a successful Christian life.

Satan loathes those who please the Lord with their lifestyle, and he rallies the "spiritual forces of wickedness" to attack believers in mind, body, and spirit (Ephesians 6:12). His primary goal is to divert our attention from the Lord so that our relationship suffers and our witness is weakened or ruined. The Devil cannot snatch our eternal spirit from God's hand (John 10:29), but he will settle for leading us to make a mess of this present life.

Paul counseled the saints to "be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might" (Ephesians 6:10). Fending off a satanic attack is not done in our own strength. No man or woman can match wits with the Adversary. He is smarter and stronger than even the most intelligent people. Instead, we are continually empowered by God through the Holy Spirit, who is far greater than Satan (1 John 4:4).

Believers have God's strength and His orders, which are to stand firm. That means we're to trust the Lord and wait patiently for Him to intervene. We are to be like a soldier on the battlefield, who digs his heels into the ground, puts up his shield, and stands ready for the oncoming enemy. The war is already won--our soul belongs to God--but the battle for our testimony on earth rages on. Stand firm.

Special Announcement from Chief Arvol Looking Horse

Another White Buffalo is born!

Special Announcement: from Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe. "Another great message has come to us from the animal nation. This time, it is more urgent then ever. It has come to my attention of another birth of a white buffalo, this time it is more different then any other sign." Since 1994 and in relation to the signs of climate change and earth changes being announced; there have been 5 births every year of the sacred buffalo calves that have stood upon the earth. Not only the buffalo which indicates signs of great change and urgency upon us, but in many parts of the world, there have been other animal nations showing this sacred color. This color represents the south, the direction in which we pass through to the spirit world, a completed cycle. "This interpretation has to do with the Bundle I take care of; that carries a prophecy from the White Buffalo Calf Woman. She told of a time when her spirit would stand upon the earth, a time of great changes were about to come to us all. A time when the two legged would have to make a decision to change their ways to heal the damage that they have created. Boundaries in respecting life and spirit will have become violated."

Imam Says "Islamic State Of North America" by 2010

A Washington, D.C., imam states explicitly on the website for his organization that he is part of a movement working toward replacement of the U.S. government with "the Islamic State of North America" by 2050.

With branches in Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento and Philadelphia, the group As-Sabiqun – or the Vanguard – is under the leadership of Abdul Alim Musa in the nation's capital.

To be the best community (Ummah), we must evolve, improve, and elevate ourselves in every way. We have to earn the title “best community” or “best of Peoples” by rising to the challenge of our time.

Prophet Muhammad (saw) once said: “When you see an evil, you must change it with your hand. If you cannot do so, then change it with your tongue. If you cannot do this, then (detest it) with your heart, and that is the weakest degree of faith.”

We must use whatever Allah (swt) gives us to make this world a better place.

Any business person will readily tell you that one of the most important factors for a business to flourish is “Location, location, location.” People of the world are crying for help. You and I, here in America, are living in the best location to change the world for good.

HUD Bans Religious Symbols

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a directive banning "any religious symbols or religious words associated with Christmas." Under the guidelines issued by HUD, the elderly grandmother cannot place a small Christmas tree outside her door (because that area is a "commons area") if it contains any religious symbols or religious words, even an angel!

Sleep-Walking Towards Slavery-The Coming Slavery Of The Anglo-Saxeon People

One of the fastest growing global businesses in the world today is the
people business – providing skilled workers to growing economies. The
rapid growth on economies around the globe has put pressure on many
employers for skilled staff. Even countries such as India, which have
traditionally supplied skilled staff to overseas businesses (especially
the IT sector), are now facing skills shortages themselves. Mature
economies such as the European and Northern Asian economies have a
growing skills shortage as their population’s age, and younger people
move into non-traditional occupations.

Over recent years whenever there is a financial crisis within the US
economy has been for the Federal Reserve to inject more money into the
banking system. Japan has also followed this policy to inflate its
economy to stimulate domestic growth, but as it has a large current
account surplus, has not been dependent on the inflow of overseas
capital – rather has been a exporter of capital. The increase in the
supply of dollars has flooded the world with liquidity, providing the
capital to nations that were once America’s enemies to enable them to
expand their economies to where they now threaten and compete with our
very economic survival.

Meanwhile the world is experiencing one of the greatest shifts in
economic power in history. The global economic dominance that the
Anglo-Saxon nations have maintained for the last 200 years is rapidly
disappearing. America’s wealth continues to decline as the US dollar
falls against the Euro, and as investors withdraw their capital before
loosing all value on their investments. As the US dollar becomes no
longer accepted as an international reserve currency, America is being
replaced from being the dominant global economic power with the Euro
Zone nations. The Euro will be become the only international accepted
reserve currency, allowing the Euro Zone to become the dominant global
economic power.

Over recent years Central Banks in some countries (especially the USA
and Japan) have inflated their money supply to provide domestic stimulus
to their economies. This “created” money has flowed out from the
Anglo-Saxon countries and Japan, providing the emerging economies
(especially in Asia) with the capital to finance their rapid economic
growth. Those Anglo-Saxon nations which have been operating with large
current account deficits have benefited from their trading partners
willingness to continual lending to finance their consuming habits and
lifestyle. Now the USA is faced with the dilemma of being unable to
attract the capital to finance its deficits and to maintain its current
level of domestic growth, as well as to service its enormous debt. It is
now resulting in the collapse of its currency.

The Anglo-Saxon nations have traditionally plundered the world’s
resources to maintain their extravagant standard of living. Now the
emerging economies are aggressively competing for these same resources.
Not only is this include exploiting the planet’s natural resources, but
also competing for some of the most talented people residing in the
Anglo-Saxon nations. Those emerging economies with the new purchasing
power now want to have the same quality of life that the Anglo-Saxon
people have enjoyed. However, the planet does not have the natural
resources or the advanced technology for the rest of the world to
maintain the same extravagant lifestyle as Americans, British,
Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders. There is growing competition
for natural resources as well as the skills to develop their economies
and lifestyle of the west.

Especially since WW2, some of the best brains and talent have been
recruited to work in the USA which has had the money to attract the
skills to help maintain the standard of living Americans now have. As
the dollar declines, America will no longer be able to compete for this
talent. The top skilled people will be recruited by those nations that
can offer the best price. Global capital is now fleeing to Europe as a
safe haven - this inflow of capital will stimulate economic growth in
Europe, and the demand for skilled labour. The EU is becoming the
economic powerhouse of the world,

It is only a matter of time before the US dollar totally collapses. Each
day is slides further and further down against the Euro. Soon it will be
totally worthless. The collapse of the dollar will be followed by the
collapse of the US economy and nation-wide poverty. Their populations
will become destitute. There will be wide-spread economic hardship and
starvation. The collapse ofthe USdollar will bring about economic
turmoil and political instability around the world. It will bring about
widespread hatred of the Anglo-Saxon nations, which will be blamed for
the troubles of the world.

People will become desperate to do anything to obtain money to live.
They will accept extremely low wages if just to have sufficient money to
survive. The USA will be come a fourth-world country – its people
desperate. Its skilled workers and resources will be defenseless and
ripe for plundering. Former international trading partners will set up
factories in the USA using cheap labour – those working in those
factories will be employed as slave labour. What we are about to see
unfold over the coming months is increased competition for the world’s
resources. This is just not just for oil and food – it will also be for
the talent and skills necessary to maintain a modern industrial society.
It will allow international capitalism to exploited human capital to
maintain the factories and demands for keeping an advanced society.

There will be a growing demand for skilled labour resources from North
America by the European and Asian economies to meet their skills needs
as their population ages. Human capital from the Anglo-Saxon nations
will be plundered at will – their new taskmasters will not be generous
with respecting employment laws as exist in our countries today. In
Europe German has had a history in WW1 & WW2 of using slave labour on a
large scale. This was also practiced by the Japanese. There is no reason
why the same policies will not be adopted in the future.

The export and recruitment of people is now a major international
industry. Nations such as the Philippines earn more from the
repartitions of income from overseas workers is their single largest
export industry. Yet these nations do not have the same level of skilled
workforce that resides in the Anglo-Saxon nations.

The reverse movement of talent and skills from North America to Europe
will see some of the greatest migrations to take place in recent
history. This migration will take place because a desperate people will
be willing to accept anything just to survive. They will be willing to
give up their freedom to provide the skills and technology to support
the EU and Asian economies to survive. Therewill be no respect for
individual rights and freedoms as we have today – amongst many of these
nations there is no love for the Anglo-Saxons, and their individual
rights. The new taskmaster will not have any conscience of exploiting
human capital.

The coming slavery and captivity of the Anglo-Saxon people is a direct
consequence of rejecting the Law of God, as God warned has warned
through His word (Lev 23, Deut.28).

Top 10 Reasons the US Should Not Marry Mexico

"Top 10 Reasons the US Should Not Marry Mexico"...or, "Why the influx?"...aka, "The Spirit of the Great ******"

http://www.vdare.com/walker/070117_top_ten.htm

"Portugal is a pedophiles' paradise," said Mr Namora, now a lawyer campaigning on behalf of the Casa Pia victims. "If all the names come out, this will be an earthquake in Portugal. There is a massive, sophisticated network at play here - stretching from the government to the judiciary and the police.

http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/persecution nofchrist/ message/916

You see, this is not about singling out a particular ethnic group, such as Mexicans, or illegal aliens crossing our border...this is about cultures that have been completely saturated by the spirits of Roman Catholicism.

The above is just one example of what will become of our nation if Mexico becomes a part of America. All anyone has to do, to see how crime has grown in our nation, is to look at the areas where Roman Catholic immigrants have concentrated. Which is mainly in the inner cities.
They bring with them their strange superstitions and religion of spiritualism. It is not Christianity.

I lived in Miami for more than seven years...and you can drive down any one of thousands of streets and see statues (idols), of Catholic "saints" in the front yards of nearly every other home. Many of these are not even Roman Catholic, but are a guise for something considered even darker...a religion known as "Santaria". Santaria is the Cuban version of "Voodoo". It is witchcraft.. ."black magic", which is basically devil worship. It goes by many other names as well...Macumba, Abacua, Candomble, Palo Mayombe, Umbanda...but it is all the same.

A simple search will give you an idea of what it is...
http://search. yahoo.com/ search?fr= ytff1-&p= santaria% 20brazil& ei=UTF-8

I worked with many different "Hispanic" men & women. Most all of the young men (that i encountered) , are like hoodlums. They lie, cheat & steal their way thru life. They deal in money-laundering as if it's like helping a neighbor take out his trash. Their greatest desire in life is to be able to live like a "Tony Montana", or some big "magnate", drug lord. To have lots of money, mansions, fancy clothes, Rolex watches, women, cars, boats, planes, etc.
I know, I worked with them for several years. This is all most of them think about.
Now I'm not talking about every single "Hispanic" male, but the majority of the ones I worked with, encountered, and lived near, were like this.

And the women...well, I have never seen young teenage women dress so immoral til I moved to "Sodom"...I mean, Miami. Girls as young as 12 or 13, wearing see-thru, skin-tight leotard type outfits in public.
And a large number of these girls have figures like some kind of "sex-kittens from hell". There was even young, married women wearing only thong bikinis, working at roadside hot dog stands.

My soul was never more vexed, than when I lived in that city...and assure you...I can sympathize with Lot .

Only San Diego & Honolulu were anything close to this. I lived in both, and both are also saturated with Roman Catholic culture (and for some strange "coincidence" , Roman Catholic girls tend to be the sexiest and most sensually attractive of all women on the Earth ). At the time i lived in Hawaii, it was ranked as the 3rd state in the nation with the most teenage pregnancies.

I have lived among many different cultures in my life...and I can tell you from first-hand experience.. .I Iknow what I'm talking about.

The people of Roman Catholic nations are also the most susceptible to Demonic possession, by spirits of materialism & carnality... Love of money, riches, luxury, gluttony, gossip, lustful perversions, corruption, etc (if you don't believe this then just watch some TV programs from any of a dozen Latin American nations, or Spain, Italy, or the Philippines. ..and you'll soon be a believer).

This is, in large part, what has polluted our nation.

The Vatican sent in the Jesuits and they did everything in their power to assure the moral fabrics of our people would break down (Who assassinated Lincoln? What's the religion of the most powerful political family in America? What religion were 95% of all atheists raised in? What's the religion of the state that has "parishes", instead of "counties".. .is known for it's Voodoo and witchcraft.. .is the most cursed by "natural disasters".. .encourages it's people to have a wild orgy before they all start a "Holy Week" of "fasting & prayer"...and is the 'mother' of the most immoral "festivals" in America? What's the religion of America's largest and most powerful crime syndicate... which also founded Las Vegas, aka, "Sin City"...the "Mafia"? What happened to America's morals right after it's first Roman Catholic president was elected?).

Now I am not "picking" on "Hispanics" or Catholics. So please do not misconstrue what I'm trying to convey here. Many born again, (former Roman Catholic), "Hispanic" Christians will tell you the same things.

Neither is this a racial thing. It is also not prejudice... and I am not trying say all Roman Catholics are evil. It is not about the millions of good people who have been unfortunate to have been raised as one...it is about the SPIRIT of the ORGANIZATION and it's LEADERS.
They are the corrupt ones. These are the same as the NICOLAITAINES that Apostle Paul warned would creep-in and corrupt the early Churches. Those Nicolaitaines he spoke of, were the same type that eventually became the political hierarchy, and (together with the corruption and evil practices of dozens of pagan religions adopted into it), "foundation" of the Roman Catholic organization.

Men who were extremely carnal-minded. They used the sweetness of the early Christians to gain a foothold in their midst. But on their minds was an easy opportunity to grab power and money.

They had evil spirits of lust & greed that would eventually plunge the entire church world into the 'Dark Ages'. Where Rome ruled with an iron fist. Where the Pope and his minions of bishops and cardinals wallowed in excess, sexual orgies and luxurious living. And the common people suffered the worst lives of poverty imaginable. And if even one of them spoke out anything against the corruption and hypocrisy of their leaders, they were instantly branded a heretic, and usually tortured and burned as a "witch". For many centuries all Bibles were only printed in Latin, and it was even a crime to have a Bible in one's home.

These same spirits are what is now guiding, not only todays leaders within the Vatican and millions of it's parishes, but also the millions of political leaders, professionals and peoples of "high society", who have got to their positions thru bribes, murders, prostitution, espionage, extortion, and the many other corrupt practices the Vatican (and her harlot daughters), loves to employ.

The Bible says the "Great ******" (the Vatican), has committed fornications with "the kings of the earth". She has polluted every corner and every facet of civilization and society...except one...the Bride of Jesus Christ.

If you want to find a safe place, then just close your eyes, think of the humility of Jesus, as He went to the Cross, and you will be on your way to that Safe Place...for it is in Him, and nowhere else.
