WHAT DOES THE BLOG NAME MEAN?


2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

We cannot avoid the affairs of life mentioned in Verse 4. But, we must be very sure that we do not become entangled in them. We must, through Christ and uncommon sense, master the affairs of life.

Hardness in Verse 3 is what we today call "hard times". So, good soldiers simply endure. Millions of saints and sinners have survived hard times before us. Have we learned from them, or will we repeat all the dumb choices? Hmmmmmmm

"We can be very thankful the nothing is taking God by surprise." Robert Aseltine

WHAT ABOUT MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS INTO THE USA?


There are a large number of Americans who believe that immigrants are nothing but intruders. This attitude is heavily felt toward illegal Mexicans who cross the border. 

But, many people also feel that Muslims should be restrained. They fear that Islam will overwhelm the USA and the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us think carefully. Here is Thomas Schirrmacher from Germany speaking on this very topic. His message is exactly the same and in context in the USA.

MASAI CHRISTIANS SING ABOUT THEIR HOPE IN CHRIST


When I was a kid growing up in Kenya many Christians in that country assumed the Masai might never really take an interest in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Masai are one of those rare cultures who had a benevolent God concept, but they had almost no superstition or fear of devils and spirits. They were a near vacuum in the spiritual part of life.

God had other ideas. The Gospel HAS been received by the Masai people. Many have come into Christ. A friend of mine has gone to Kenya twice to be the cook for a Masai pastor. He had a great time being the White man cooking for the African pastor. Roll reversal, but more than that, a testimony to the work of the Holy Spirit in true believers.

So, listen to this song of hope that was born in Africa, not imported:



AND, the old men sing praise to God too:

I CONTROL THE BUTTER




While attending a dinner, newly elected Senator Bill Bradley asked the waiter for an extra pat of butter. The waiter said, "Sorry, one pat per person."

The emcee overheard and demanded: "Do you know who this is? This is Bill Bradley! All-American from Princeton. All-Pro with the Knicks. U.S. senator! Potential president!"

The waiter responded, "Do you know who I am?"

The emcee replied, "I guess I don't. Tell me."

The waiter said, "I'm the guy who controls the butter!"

This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. Even a powerful person needs the person who controls the butter. Each person and each person's job is important—in the high calling of our daily work.

AMERICANS ARE NOW SLAVES TO VISA AND MASTERCARD


We have been expecting this news for about a year. Americans will not stop spending their way along, in spite of the fact that inflation is rising far faster than wage increases. When this happens, there are two choices:


1. Cut back on ALL non-essentials, and buy down your own debt as fast as possible.


2. TANK. We all will crash personally and as a nation. 


The Gross National Product will crash, and there will be a run away spiral into oblivion. This has never before happened in US history. All crashes in the past were not accompanied by massive personal debt along with national terminal debt.


READ ABOUT IT HERE


In the end, the biblical law of finance will take hold, and YOU CANNOT STOP IT, AND THE FEDS WILL NOT STOP IT-- China will own America.


Proverbs 22:7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.


I wonder if Solomon would not be horrified if he saw the USA predicament? The borrower is servant to the lender (rich), and the rich are servant to China.


You need to read about STRONG DELUSION.


1 in 4 have more credit card debt than savings.



Now, the Feds are squeezing the banks to stop charging fees on debit cards, and the banks are fighting back. This has nothing to do with the above discussion except to say this-- when the war to claim your last nickel is raging between the Feds and the banks, YOU will be used as blackmail by both the Feds and the banks. WATCH THIS


So, after the debit cards are found to be a bad idea, what will the Feds do to force you to pay off your debts?


Oooops, wrong order of thinking process. First, understand what predicament the Feds and IRS are in. You have little of no cash on hand, you are maxed in credit card debt, and you have too little in income to use either your credit card of checking account anymore. 


Result, you will hit the last resource-- try to put off of avoid paying your income tax. The Feds are looking at a massive shortfall in April when tax payment come due with self-employed and those who do not have enough deductions. What will the Feds do? The ONLY think left to do:


1. Call in gold.


2. A bank holiday, in which they will reopen the banks and limit withdrawals..... and


3. A cap on credit card debt. This will likely be a percentage spending limit on all future credit card debt balances on an al a carte basis. Technology can pull this off nicely.


The result will be instant poverty if you have no cash on hand. A vast percentage of home loans will soon be foreclosed. When the money stops flowing, it is all over. There is no precedent in US history to predict what will happen next.


So, if Obama plays games with banks, gold, and credit cards, he will give the next election to Ron Paul. The Republicans will be forced to beg Paul, and Cain for VP, to rescue them. Romney will look like part of the problem because of his big government and big business image.


The fat lady is singing folks.

LAW OF THE LAND


There is no record in the Bible of Jesus breaking Roman law. 


He violated the rules of the religious Pharisees in his day, and I suspect he would break the Fundamental Baptist Standards and Amish regulations today if he were to return and walk among us. I can see Jesus nailing an orange sign on an Amish buggy.


In these last days of the Church Age, many saints are talking about how to beak the law, whether in regard to gun laws, or in paying taxes..... it matters not what the law is. If a given law does not prevent you from worshiping God and preaching the Gospel, obey it.


Franking, I have considered attaching a big orange triangle to the back of my van because of the maniacs in Austin, Texas. Sigh. 


Read about the Amish rebels below. They may not call themselves persecuted.

IT TAKES NERVE AND A SENSE OF THE MOMENT


Some opportunities come once in a lifetime. The choir director could have picked a more politically correct piece to sing in a public place, but he and his choir went straight to the message needed.

Quote from the video post on YouTube

It took all of us by surprise while waiting on a maintenence check to be performed on the aircraft. Best surprise ever!! I'm bless and glad to be there live to see this. OMG! ::: Thanks to Indiana Wesleyan University Chorale and by the way I love Indy and their people. By the way Happy Birthday Todd Guy.







SO, WHO NEEDS BOOKS?


Watch the video please. If you find this video totally boring, you are in deep trouble.


WATCH VIDEO


So, what did you learn? 


If you took a few notes, I predict a great future for you.


Books are the key to survival, and I suggest you start with the Bible.

GOING OUT IN STYLE


Does your wife look like a dumpy bag lady? Is it because you spend all your extra cash on preparedness?


You have a stash of ammo, enough guns to start a small war, tons of dehydrated food, AND your kids look like dumpster divers who have not found a crust of bread in a month, and they are starving.


Do you know what the One Worlders' mental image of a survivor and Bible believer is? They think you bought all your clothes from a yard sale by the Branch Davidians in Waco just before the BATF blew them away.


Stop going out looking trashy. That is the trend of losers, and you need to show the Hidden Hand and their slaves that you dress well. I am not talking about throwing money around. I am talking about dressing up with a shirt and tie to go out to eat EVERY TIME. I am talking about burning that stupid baseball cap and finding a good western hat or a fedora. I am talking about seeing to it that your wife and daughters have the resources to get their hair done nicely and often.


Do your kids wear trashy clothes, and is your son having to grab his britches all the time because the jack ass bought a waist size four sizes too big ON PURPOSE? And, you are the jerk who let him do it?


What do you think you are anyway? If God might have mercy on America (or your country somewhere else in the world), then God will not want you dressing in the style of the heathen and the One World Satanists.


Style? Yes, but the style of decency and smart neatness. You cannot demand attention and make a statement in the market place if you look like a baboon with a two day drunk on.


Do you have a beard? Fine, but trim it up neat with some character. The mountain man look is NOT going to get you a hearing with 99% of Americans. Let Alabama sing about the mountain men, but I promise you, if you really look the part you will be thought of as a hick burp.


I usually wear an ordinary shirt and a western straw hat when I go to town. I wear huaraches which are a woven Mexican dress shoe. This keeps the masses guessing what I am about. I DO NOT want to look like a preacher, but I do want to cause people to feel I have dressed up a bit just for them. They have a mental preconception for "preachers in uniform" and that is why you preachers get all those sacral fake sweet responses from religious wannabes. Leave me out on that one.


When we go out to eat ANYWHERE, I wear a modest long sleeve western shirt and Levies like ranch people wear and a bolo tie from Mexico. We ALWAYS get better service. If you dress well for people, people will treat you better than the fugitive from a Halloween party in front of you in the Budweiser tee shirt. If you live in an area in rebellion against order, dress up anyway. The rebels will tremble when you walk in the door.


Now, go spend some of that alleged survival cash load buying off the One Worlders' audience with class and good manners. Speak with authority because people cannot avoid you. The acre you take charge of may get someone saved, and it may stop some One Worlder from taking that acre for the devil and the dirty dozen on high.


Ronald Reagan had one thing right-- he knew the value of bearing and presence. He knew that a President who looks and sounds regal is respected. His humor was an oasis in chaos that even his enemies looked forward to.


Clean up you speech, and learn to talk with authority. READ READ READ, but read the Bible and information sources that are trustworthy. Read writers like Churchill, Teddy Roosevelt, and Alistair Cooke who mastered the English language. You don't even have to agree with these men, but you need to teach your family to read and talk three levels above the masses and asses. You need to learn to be polite, pert, and potent when you speak your opinion. And, you need to fire the imaginations of people around you. Make them think thoughts they avoid, thoughts that Big Nanny discourages.


I can tell a man who does not read books. He is dull and has only three four letter adjectives.


AND, please, HAVE AN OPINION. The world today is obsessed with fairness, niceness, and politically correct blather and bull. If you have an opinion on something, speak with such authority that other people are jealous of your zeal. If someone disagrees with you, but they show a narrow minded conviction, tell them you do not agree, but you will fight to the death for their right to have an attitude.


Attitude.... what an endangered species!!


Now, go do the right thing..... and, do it in public without worrying if someone will be offended.


James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

WORSHIPING THE GOLDEN CALF ON WALL STREET


This is a group of paganized christiansettes making asses of themselves.


The Young Turk is a left leaning agnostic, but he gets it all right. How sad that Christians cannot see what fools they are.



NOW, here is Larry Vance on the Golden Calf of American Christians. This calf is the US Military, and you better read this. You are probably one of those making a pompous ass of himself in the name of Christian truth. Vance is spot on this time:

GOOGLE-- 2084



One day, long after I know as I am known by my Lord, you young groupies may be dealing with a "brave new world" that takes the ultimate bravery to survive and stay sane.


To whit--








To the list in the graphic, you may one day, by political anarchy after a fascist regime rules the USA, be able to demand the following:
[ Click graphic for an enlarged view ]




  • Your Senator's brain
  • Your teacher's brain
  • The Attorney General's brain
  • The President's brain
  • Corporate profit and loss sheet
  • Jesse Ventura's brain
  • The Martian President's brain
  • Brain of the Worshipful Master's brain



Of course, when surfing the brains of the elite, you will want to be sure that the "safe selection" is "on" if your kids are at the computer.


The future will depend on whether the masses and asses prevail, or the Nicolaitans (ruling elite) prevail.


Meanwhile, let us all live in such a way that, after we have gone to our reward, no one in high places misses us, and we are not on a list for extermination.


Happy landings.

PROVIDENCE IS A WONDERFUL COMFORT



A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances would always say “my king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect. He makes no mistakes!” One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his majesty from losing a finger. Furious and showing no his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman asked "Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and lost my finger."


The slave replied: "My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good, and he knows why these things happened. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong!" Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave. 


Later, the King left for another hunt, this time alone. He was captured by savages who engaged in human sacrifices. On the altar and ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages discovered that their victim did
not have one of his fingers. According to them, only a whole person with all his parts intact could be offered to the gods. The King without a finger was deemed an abominable sacrifice for their gods. So they released him.


Upon his return to the palace, the King called for the release of his slave. He received the slave affectionately. He asked his slave, "My dear, God was really good to me! I was almost killed by the wild men, but for lack of a single finger, I was let go! But I have a question: if God is so good, why did he allow me to put you in jail?"


The slave answered, "My King, if I had gone with you on this hunt, I would have been sacrificed instead because I have no missing finger. Remember everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong. He made you keep me in jail so I would not be with you on the hunt."


Often we complain about life, and negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose. Every morning, offer your day to God, don't be in a rush. And do not be afraid. God is never wrong!
_____________________________________


Whatever is coming, and in spite of mindless leaders who trample down the masses, God has his own plan. It is a plan that is good for us all.


Unless...... You simply do not believe in God and his providence. Then, you are on your own, and every trial and tribulation will enrage you, for the world is never fair for the godless.

OLD TIMERS AND NEW TIMERS


What can we learn from those that roughed long ago AND now?






So, how are YOU getting prepared? We are facing total collapse by the end of 2014. You have one pretty good year in 2012. In 2013, if we elect a rational President, he will cut spending fiercely, and he will disengage the Federal Government from much of its Big Nanny role in the states. If we elect a mad man, he will go mad with frenzy and trash the nation totally. We may have our first dictator.

You may well become a lot more free when the central government is flat broke, but YOU WILL END UP HAVING TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. Are you able to do that? When all the goodies you think you are entitled to are gone, then what?

Remember, you saw those old timers in Bakersfield, California in a pretty upbeat mood. They were obviously survivors. If you have no skills or will to take care of yourself, I suggest you go find some really old folks to tell you how they did it. You just might learn something.

How can you tell you are NOT ready for hard times? Answer: If you could not finish the video on the tent city, my friend, you are NOT ready to face your destiny.

What will you do when it is just you and Jesus?
