another depression coming,
I saw this vision around 2 weeks ago (middle of Jan 2008).
All their clothes were either of nylon, or other machine manufactured materials.
These folks in their 1920’s garb, were convinced that all the mounts they saw at a distance from them, was grains. These ‘paper grains’ shimmered in the sun and the folks in this field, called these grains, ‘the supernatural provision of God’. None bothered to go examine the grains. They were too busy partying.
These people appeared unconcerned about anything beyond their own surroundings. They were wining and dining, and had picnics all the day long. The people stood scattered in this large field. A few here, a few there.
Jan 2008 Read This Article on How A Christia n Should Vote In 2008In the four gospels Jesus did not speak against Rome or slavery, but He did speak out against the religious leaders of Judea. He said to give unto Caesar what is Caesar's, meaning taxes even though the tax was unjust and spent in ways contrary to the will of God. Jesus seemed to be more concerned with sin in the Kingdom of God than sin in the kingdoms of men. Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding, But a rod is for the back of him who is devoid of understanding. Pro 10:13
DOES GOD SPEAK TO US TODAY?
The concept that God does not speak or lead us through the Holy Spirit today is more often than not a comfortable tradition that some grew up with, and never questioned. Such views were birthed out of our experience (or lack of it), matured into our tradition, and instituted as our doctrine—thereby becoming our lifestyle. Much of our lifestyle, much of what we hold dear to our hearts, is cultural and traditional—things we never question. But God may be calling us to choose between our old traditions (old wine) and His way (new wine). Christ does not conform to our culture. We must conform to Him and the culture of His Kingdom.
A SCRIPTURE READING —For Jehovah Witness' On The Trinity— Using the New World Translation And the King James Version Of the Bible (Apr 2007)This article was prepared for a Jehovah Witness (on the trinity) who comes to my door fairly often.Since our doctrines differ (on the trinity, etc.) I felt that the most fair and loving way I could communicate was to simply quote passages from the two Bible translations accepted by her doctrinal group, the Jehovah Witnesses, for her consideration. I kept my comments to a bare minimum so as to let the Bible do all the talking, and let her draw her own conclusions. This first page offers some non-doctrinal wisdom and encyclopedia definitions. Dear friend, I recommend that you read the history of the Jehovah Witness’ written by a historian who is not a Jehovah Witness. Every religious group should read the history of their own doctrinal group…it will inform and make you grow beyond the boundaries of your doctrinal group. After reading the history of many doctrinal groups by scholars inside and outside theses groups I have discovered that it pleases God to hide His wisdom in a variety of people and denominational perspectives. I know that the more I humble myself to others, the broader my understanding of God has actually become. This has given me a breadth and depth of spiritual understanding and growth that is very rewarding. There are skeletons in every doctrinal group’s closet, and the Jehovah Witness history is no exception. You owe it to yourself to see what they are. KEEPING
DIVINE ORDER 
Dec. 2004,
What is it about the Bride of Christ that is so attractive to the Bride Groom? What preparation did she make to become so attractive? The Revelation: I say that Christ saw Himself in her, the only thing that could possibly please Him. If anything we do is holy and of God, God did it through us, there is none holy. If Christ indwells us, then Jesus can do the things He did, and even greater through us —IF, IF, IF we let Him. The Bride knows this and lets Him reign in the fullness of their lives like a purified, fire purged alter. Since it is God’s desire to conform each of us to the image of Christ, it seems to me that alone should be THE Christian’s goal in life. Overcomers shoot for that goal . . . that purpose . . . that life. After all, life is short and eternity waits for no man! This is a call to the church to excel to the coveted stature of being among those who will make up the company called “the Bride of Christ.” Now I invite you to read the argument I make to prove that even though all Christians will go to heaven, not all Christians will be in “the Bride of Christ.” But, again, the call is for you to know how to be in that number, and then set out to meet the standard.

THE MOTHER OF ALL CONSPIRACIES
The best way to hide the source and intent of the mother conspiracy (conspirator) is to spawn a dozen daughter conspiracies that (unwittingly and unknowingly) front for, or create a diversion for the mother conspiracy. The mother conspiracy can stay in the background, never showing her hand, but forever manipulating all her daughters. Even speaking of them as a mother and her daughters is deceptive. The truth is, these conspiracies are of their father—Satan (John 8:44). Continued
SOCIALISM AND THE ANTICHRIST
Secular Humanists believe they are their own god's, and they have decided for themselves what is good and what is evil. As the Bible says, they call good evil and evil good. Continued

GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE TO CREATE ME
Astrophysicists tell us that
the universe is fine tuned within a 2% tolerance. Here is why God did
this. If there had been 2% more mass in the universe all the planets
would have been like Saturn and Neptune, mostly gaseous. If there had
been 2% less mass in the universe, then there would have been too much of the
heavy metals, making it impossible for there to be water and an atmosphere on
any planet.
But this 2% wonder goes much
further. There are 150 different features about planet Earth that had to
be within a 2% tolerance for life as we know it to exist on this planet.
And because of all these measurable, imperial facts, the statistical,
mathematical likelihood of there being another planet in the universe that can
sustain life as we know it is less than one.
Isn't it glorious that God
created the universe so He could create me—so He could create you? That
is how big your God is. Can you rejoice in that?

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO
DIE FOR?
Life is not worth living if there is not something you are willing to die for...to lay down your life for. Life needs a purpose and a passion; otherwise you are a dead man walking. But if you believe in something enough to die for it, then you are compelled all the more to live so that you can use your life energies to propagate the thing you would lay down your life for. There is but one purpose for life — to prepare for eternity. Life is measurably brief. Eternity is immeasurably endless. Ignorance alone compels us to trifle with our eternal destiny. Personally, I don’t want to get over on the other side of eternity and then find out what I SHOULD have known — what I COULD have done — on THIS side of eternity to lay up treasures in heaven. How about you? Jesus laid down His life for us, and He is asking us to lay down our lives for Him so that we can have eternal life with Him. Will you receive Him into your heart today?

BOOK CHAPTERS Revival & Harvest: See in the Scriptures God's prophetic promise for a great end-time harvest of hundreds of millions. You will be shown conclusively "why" and the "how" the harvest will come to pass. Unity in the Faith: This unity does not call for one universal doctrine among Christians. Unity, in Paul's definition of faith (see Hebrew 11:1-3), calls for the local and universal body of believers to join their faith to believe God's promises and prophecies in the Bible. One universal doctrine is undesirable, but unity in the faith, as defined by Paul, is obtainable. Cessationism: Did the spiritual gifts and ministries (as illustrated by 1 Corinthians 13) cease when the last apostle died? A balanced, gracious and academic study is presented. Rationalism in the Church Exposed: An article on problems the church faces, & God's solutions.
