Predictions for United States

Image
I first heard of Gerald Celente on an internet Radio Station where he was a guest on a show not only was I paying attention to the show but  I was most fascinated with what he said and I decided to find out more about him and I did learn a lot about Him but, here is something very disturbing I saw on  a website about his recent predictions for the USA and Christians in America whether you believe him or not , Whether you feel it may or may not happen just Pray that God protects you and your families  and Just pray that God takes control of your Country for the devil has worked overtime to really drive mankind into the pits of doom/despair. Gerald Celente :   The United States of America will witness a major economic down turn within the next four years, transforming it from one of the strongest economies in the world to an ‘undeveloped nation”, Gerald Celente, the CEO of Trends Research Institute has forecasted Celente of the Trends Research Institute...

The Greatest Faith

Image
By David J. Stewart,  " The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only , and my servant shall be healed... When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel" (Matthew 8:8,10). The Bible tells us of a Roman centurion (a centurion was in authority over 100 soldiers) who had a sickly servant. The centurion humbly came to Jesus and asked for the Lord to heal his friend. Jesus said he would come heal the sick servant. Then the centurion said something to Jesus that impressed Him greatly. Whatever it was that the centurion said, Jesus told the crowd that He'd not found so great a faith in all of Israel. This is quite remarkable. Now when Jesus says that He hasn't found so great faith in all of Israel, we ought to sit at the edge of our chair and pay close attention to what the centurion said. What was i...

FAITH UNDER FIRE Going rate to kill pastor: $250 Rewards offered for murdering Christians, destroying homes, churches By Chelsea Schilling © 2008 WorldNetDaily Hindu extremist groups are offering money, food and alcohol to anyone who murders Christians and destroys their homes. The violence is nothing new in Orissa, India, where India's Communist Party estimates that more than 500 Christians have been killed by Hindu mobs in Orissa since late August, 12 times more than official government claims of only 40 homicides. But now the stakes are even higher – and pastors have a bounty on their heads. Faiz Rahman, chairman of Good News India, said Hindu militants are targeting Christian leaders, the Christian Post reported. "The going price to kill a pastor is $250," he said. Rahman, a head of several orphanages in Orissa State, said he's helped 25 pastors to leave refugee camps, but 250 Christian leaders are still in shelters. "All of the pa...

Another Lesson On Vanity

  Matthew 6:19-21 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also . I have always believed this passage and have been living it but today the reality of the passage hit me once again when Lucky came back home from our stock brokers office to tell me that my shares plunged and I lost so many thousands of dollars (USD) in the markets, Immediately I heard in my head this voice say " Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth " and I knew right then the Good Lord was teaching me a great lesson and for me to take the message out there to my brothers and sisters that Help only comes from the Lord Trust Him for all your needs Phil 4:19 but am not going to be worried for my God is on the Thr...

"Anything But God" Church

GodTube-Banned Pastor Tackles the "Anything But God" Church     An Emmy award-winning pastor who was banned from GodTube has released a book about his “absurd religion,” challenging today’s Christian and Evangelical leaders and churches with the question “Is religion to blame for the current American crisis?” Though the idea behind My Absurd Religion may itself be absurd, as author Steve Gray himself admits, the Kansas City pastor says his goal is to help people get away from the clutter and get down to where they can really encounter God. “Writing this book might be the most absurd idea I’ve ever had,” says Gray, who pastors World Revival Church of Kansas City. “I mean, who takes a swing or a punch at their own religion?” But Gray says he wanted to give readers something more than just a book that “patted us on the back and said ‘Keep going. We’re doing great.’...

Jesus Take The Wheel!!!

"41 Evidences of Pride By Nancy Leigh DeMoss" 1. Do you look down on those who are less educated, less affluent, less refined, or less successful than yourself? 2. Do you think of yourself as more spiritual than your mate, others in your church? 3. Do you have a judgmental spirit toward those who don’t make the same lifestyle choices you do ... dress standards, how you school your kids, entertainment standards, etc.? 4. Are you quick to find fault with others and to verbalize those thoughts to others? Do you have a sharp, critical tongue? 5. Do you frequently correct or criticize your mate, your pastor, or other people in positions of leadership (teachers, youth director, etc.)? 6. Do you give undue time, attention, and effort to your physical appearance—hair, make-up,clothing, weight, body shape, avoiding appearance of aging? 7.

A Short Story on True Happiness

Image
A Desperate Man There was a man who had everything you could want, everything but happiness and hope. He had a good business and more money than he could count, houses all over the world, and owned an island in the South Pacific Ocean. He had a loving wife and four children, two boys and two girls. He was constantly putting on parties and all sorts of affairs trying to find what his younger brother already had. You see his younger brother had been ask to become a partner in the company several years earlier but turn it down because he was already a partner in something bigger. The younger brother did not own a fancy house instead he and his wife rented a small three-bedroom house in the country where they were raising their three children, one son and two daughters. The younger brother was happy with his life; he had everything he needed. You see the younger brother had found Jesus Christ and was living life the way God wanted him to. The older brother could not understand how his youn...

Surrender Yourself Today!

Image
What will it cost us Christians to give our lives completely to God? This is a question I ask myself daily. Surrendering 99% of one's life is not and  will not be enough for  God Almighty but, He wants 100%, all of you and me . God gave  us His  all, remember he sent His "only" begotten Son Jesus Christ to Die for you and me . . . this is the simple gospel,  Christians should be preaching. I'm not preaching here, all am saying is that, with the recent happenings in and around the World, No one is sure of tomorrow . . . only by His Grace are we living and breathing. I ask for you to give the whole of your Life to God. His hand is Mighty and safe and He will not turn away those who seek Him early. A well paying Job with executive positions will not make you any special, Hollywood will not save you from death, fame and fortune will not make you live an extra day without God's intervention, doctors and best clinics cannot save your life . . .  if not for...

Is Divorce The Answer?

Image
The whole News Media and Christians alike  terrified with this news at least I speak for myself . I thought pastors/bishops were role models? and people who should show the "lost" the way to the Cross, how disappointed I am  about this news. I ask myself couldn't they have forgiven and forgotten? or was their bruised ego too much to bear; making it difficult for them to humble themselves before God and reconcile to the Glory of God?. (sometimes I wonder if it was as a result of the beating taking place at a public place that made it worse for her to forgive, maybe if it was at home nobody would know and she might still be in the Marriage) who knows!? I ask again isn't there any tiniest way the Holy Spirit must have dropped it in their hearts for them to make peace for the sake of the flock they are overseeing? Well I know that some of us are too familiar with God so we can  do whatever we like Proverb 14:12  There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the en...

A Short Story on Forgiveness

Image
The issue of forgiveness is a very tough one but very necessary for our Salvation in Christ Jesus, Not to be ignored to say the least,  I am one who has had to forgive a lot and especially recently because I  have come to realize that it's no use holding unto the hurts and offenses most of all the Holy Spirit has ,made me know that God is the Judge and not me. Exodus 14:14 14The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. AMEN! When the Holy Spirit is in you and the fruit of the Spirit operates in you, you  must become a broken Christian and  learn to forgive your enemies no matter how hard it looks or seems. "I am a witness"  because, I know I have said in time past, I will never forgive this person or that person but, today the good Lord has taken all that strife and bitterness from my life and turned it into love. Sometimes I Wonder what happened to me!? there are times when my family would expect me to react violently  th...

Always Have Faith!

Image
When I saw this Story, I knew it had so much of me in it, I also wanted to use this story to encourage us that we should not be scared of anything in life Because our God is able to protect and keep us safe always in Jesus Mighty Name Amen. I live by this passage in the Bible Philipians 4:6  6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Always have faith in God no matter what! He is always faithful. IS YOUR HUT BURNING? The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happe...

Ten Ways to Marry the Wrong Person

Beloved brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus here is what I thought is a Great outlook on love/marriage. Enjoy! This is kind of long, but it makes some interesting points. By Rabbi Dov Heller, M.A . With the divorce rate over 50%, too many are apparently making a serious mistake in deciding who to spend the rest of their life with. To avoid becoming a "statistic," try to internalize 10 insights. 1. You pick the wrong person because you expect him/her to change after you're married . The classic mistake. Never marry potential. The golden rule is, if you can't be happy with the person the way he or she is now, don't get married. As a colleague of mine so wisely put it, "You actually can expect people to change after their married...for the worst!" So when it comes to the other person's spirituality, character, personal hygiene, communication skills, and personal habits, make sure you can live with these as they are now. 2. You pick the wrong pers...

Let's Talk About Love

Glory to God!!! February is here again and soon everyone will be all about Valentines this and Valentine that, so many people will get engaged on that day or better still get married on that day. . . Well am not against people celebrating or whatever, even I have picked out things I want my husband to buy for me, LOL.

I Shall not be Defeated!!!

Image
Greetings in the Mighty Name of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ who is the Reason for the Season. Hallelujah. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits Psalms 103:2 We are blessed to be alive and well this season, a lot of us might not see any reason why we should celebrate "life" given to us by the Special Grace of God.   Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. As we are about to start a new year... this should be a time of sober reflection, a time when we go to God in Prayer and thank Him For His marvelous works in our lives and families, ask Him what He wants from us this year (Direction), what we must do for Him and also how to stay strong in Faith to live a mountain top life instead of life in the valley I would like to reiterate that this post is not about scoring points with it's esteemed  readers, but I want us to...

Tomorrow is not Promised

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there,they serve some sort of purpose,teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are and who you want to become. You never know who these people may be your neighbor, child, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them,you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they seem painful and unfair but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential strength, will power, or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests whether they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat ro...

Short Stories

Greetings, I want to share these with you today... these made me laugh when I read them, because it reminded me of how shortsighted, self centered/engrossed we are most times and we forget about the most important thing in life... trusting/having faith in God at all times to see us through every situation we may find ourselves in, for the Bible clearly says in Philippians 1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.. NLT. Your Burden The young man was at the end of his rope. Seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer. "Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear." The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear it's weight, just place your cross inside this room. Then open another door and pick any cross you wish." The man was filled with relief. "Thank you, Lord," he sighed, and did as he was told. As he looked around the r...

Food for Thought!

" Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away," Think about this. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true. 1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. 5.Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 6.You mean the world to someone. 7. If not for you, someone may not be living. 8. You are special and unique. 9. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you trust God to do what's best, and wait on His time, probably, sooner or later, you will get it or something better. 0. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good can still come from it. 11. When you think the world has ...
