BRAINWASHED TO BELIEVE THE SPIRIT REALM ISN'T REAL
Pray for America, guidance from the Holy Spirit and personal strength to cope and be strong in these last days of grace
Joshua 1: 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be you dismayed; for the LORD your God is with you where ever so you go ....
very much evilness and strange events are beginning to escalate and come on the world, from the unseen evil spirit realm....
Luke 21: 11 And great earthquakes will be in various places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven....
Ephesians 6: 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places...

HOW MUCH WILL WE TOLERATE?
It absolutely astounds me how tolerant people are about the government incursion into their daily lives. It has now been three years since the TSA was allowed to feel up strangers at the airport. And Obama has the power to arrest anyone for any reason in the name of terrorism. When you add the latest breach of trust, I just wonder what would cause the America people to say, “Now, you’ve gone too far.” Because the Bible warns that the last days will be a time of global dictatorship. My fear is that they will wait too long to become outraged.

THE END OF THE GODLY MOTHER
I'm still on break, but I wanted to post an article for Mother's Day. We live in a culture that attacks women who live according to God's word. If you dress modestly, you're a prude. If you have a gentle, quiet spirit you're shy and unambitious. To be a homemaker means being laughed at. The work that wives and mothers do is not valued in today's world.
Godly women are demeaned constantly for the way they choose to live. In this culture only thin, beautiful, scantily clad money makers are worth anything. We even criticize mothers for wanting to stay home and care for their children. Our culture tells women to love money more. Not even the church is commited to protecting the roles of godly mothers. This is why they are a dying breed.

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON IN THE MIDDLE EAST?
"During the next major regional war in the Middle East we will likely see death on a scale that is unprecedented. It won't be like the wars of 1967 or 1973. It will likely be a fight to the death where nothing is held back. You see, the truth is that most Americans have no idea what is really going on in the Middle East. "

BUREAUCRACY OUT OF CONTROL
This is an instance of bureaucracy out of control. All this new law does is create a whole new raft of EU civil servants being paid to move mountains of papers round all day, while interfering with the right of people to grow what they want, and charging fees for the use of plants that were domesticated and bred by the public over thousands of years of small-scale agriculture.

BACKLOG ON GUN ORDERS HITS 2 MILLION
Backlog on Gun Orders Hits 2 Million
04/30/13 How many guns can the American people absorb? There seems to
be no end to the arming, and now the Americans are like a huge massive
militia. If a strong politician steps forward, who the people can rally
around, it is very possible that a massive armed resistance can fast be
formed. This is very volatile with Obama demonizing huge sections of the
population, the economy in shambles and Obama also pitting the American
people against each other.
HOW WICKED THE WORLD IS GETTING
"Tim Tebow is being passed around like a bad penny, because the open
confession of his Christian faith makes the establishment uncomfortable.
They don’t care if he could carry them all the way to the Super Bowl.
They reject him because the light in him stings their darkened souls."

Pray Boy No, Gay Boy Yes
from the Rapture Ready blog
www.raptureready.com
It is absolutely stunning how quickly the moral foundation of our nation has been eroding away. Sometimes I have to wonder if the prophet Isaiah was being prophetic about our timeframe when he wrote, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20)
A week ago, two people in the sports world made news. One was a football player who was rejected because of his strong Christian confession and the other was a gay basketball player who was praised for simply declaring his sexual preference.
The football star was Tim Tebow, who has gotten under the skin of the liberal media and other atheist groups, making himself the “poster boy” for Christianity. Tebow accomplished this task by praying on the field after a win, putting Bible verses on his eye black during games, and starring in an anti-abortion ad during the Super Bowl.
I knew when Tebow moved from Colorado to the New York Jets it would end in disaster. The left-coast press did everything they could to attack him. I remember a bunch of Salem witches casting spells on Tim Tebow to ensure he would lose the big game.
The New York Jets couldn’t have hated Tim Tebow more. They dumped him on the first Monday after the NFL draft, knowing that other teams’ rosters would be filled. The chance Tebow will find another job in the league is bleak. Their action would make sense if Tebow had an arrest record or showed up late for meetings or cost the Jets the playoffs with a bad interception. The Jets barely using him in a waste of a season─he appeared in just 77 offensive plays.
What makes the hatred of Tebow all the more hard to understand is how good he has been for the business side of football. The public has had an overwhelmingly positive view of a God-fearing quarterback. In one poll, Tebow was voted the favorite active pro-athlete. He has generated huge ratings. When he played for the Broncos, one game had the highest-rated NFL wildcard game since 1988. Tebow’s famous eighty-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime resulted in a record 9,420 tweets per second. According to Twitter, it was the most frenzied response for any sporting event.
Tim Tebow is being passed around like a bad penny, because the open confession of his Christian faith makes the establishment uncomfortable. They don’t care if he could carry them all the way to the Super Bowl. They reject him because the light in him stings their darkened souls.
The same day Tebow was being sunned, Jason Collins became the first-ever openly gay man in a major American team sport. In a first-person article posted on the Sports Illustrated website, Collins said, “I’m a 34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay.” Collins was predictably showered with praise:
ESPN’s Chris Broussard had pro-gay groups asking for his head when he said homosexuality constitutes “open rebellion to God.” During a Monday episode of “Outside the Lines” he said:
If you are someone who realizes how wicked the world is getting, there is still hope for you. Society may be doomed to suffer God’s wrath, but you can escape by seeking the grace that can only come from the blood of Jesus.
“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool” (Isaiah 1:18-19).

The head of the NBA said he was proud of Collins.
Former president Bill Clinton congratulated him.
President Obama called to congratulate him.
First lady Michelle Obama tweeted her support for Collins. “So proud of
you, Jason Collins! This is a huge step forward for our country. We’ve
got your back!”
There were a few people who chose to rain on Collins’ coming out parade.
Ben Shapiro, editor-at-large for Breitbart.com got flack for saying:
“So Jason Collins is a hero because he’s gay? Our standard for heroism
has dropped quite a bit since Normandy.”
ESPN’s Chris Broussard had pro-gay groups asking for his head when he said homosexuality constitutes “open rebellion to God.” During a Monday episode of “Outside the Lines” he said:
Personally, I don’t believe that you can live an openly homosexual
lifestyle, or an openly premarital sex between heterosexuals ...
if you’re openly living that kind of lifestyle, then the Bible
says you know them by their fruits. It says that’s a sin
and if you’re openly living in unrepentant sin, whatever it may be, not
just homosexuality, [but] adultery, fornication, premarital sex,
whatever it may be, I believe that’s walking in open rebellion to
God and to Jesus Christ. So I would not characterize that person
as a Christian, because I don’t think the Bible would characterize
him as a Christian.
There is no doubt in my mind that we have reached the point where sin
produces a type illogical insanity. Anyone who thinks someone who has
sex with his same gender is preferred over someone who prays on the
field needs to be fitted with one of those white jackets that buckles in
the back.
If you are someone who realizes how wicked the world is getting, there is still hope for you. Society may be doomed to suffer God’s wrath, but you can escape by seeking the grace that can only come from the blood of Jesus.
“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool” (Isaiah 1:18-19).

"A person who seeks to help others create their own successful businesses and generate abundant profits for themselves and their employees is practicing empowerment and is therefore GOOD. But a person who seeks to destroy entrepreneurship, suppress innovation, punish small businesses and burden private sector job creation with onerous taxes and regulation is practicing control and is therefore EVIL." - Mike Adams

Here we have yet another example of just how desperate governments and the pharmaceutical industries are to protect the vaccination schedule. Instead of admitting that vaccinations are not only damaging the health of our children and that vaccines are totally ineffective at controlling diseases, governments get together with scientists to cash in on children’s suffering and develop yet another useless vaccine to cure the symptoms caused by the original vaccine.

WAR ON CHRISTIANITY
"I do not know if this can be stopped with the military. Are they going to make sharing the gospel a criminal offense? This is no longer America but we can start calling it “Soviet America.” What will the nation be like a mere three years from now? How far are we willing to let the Hard Left destroy our freedoms? This is a war in our midst." - John McTernan

Real Terror Threatening America
The recent massive police action in Boston has caused many people to assess what are the true dangers that we face. The same time that 10,000 law enforcement officials where looking for the second bombing suspect, eleven more people were murdered in other cities. In the past twenty years 3,300 people have been killed by terrorism in America, with most of those deaths related to the 9/11 attacks. During the same period nearly one million people have died from violent crime.
Many of our nations largest cities are rotting from the inside out. Blogger, Michael Snyder of the site, “The Economic Collapse” has been one of the best online trackers of the social and economic decline of urban America. Here are twelve examples he sited from a much longer list:
1. According to The New York Times there are now approximately 70,000 abandoned buildings in Detroit.
2. Back during the housing bubble, an acre of land in downtown Phoenix,
Arizona sold for about $90 a square foot. Today, an acre in downtown
Phoenix sells for about $9 a square foot.
3. The number of murders in Chicago last year was roughly equivalent to
the number of murders in the entire country of Japan during 2012.
4. The city of Baltimore is already facing unfunded liabilities of more
than 3.2 billion dollars, but the city government continues to pile up
more debt as if it was going out of style.
USA Today, the “share of jobs located
in or near a downtown declined in 91 of the nation's 100 largest
metropolitan areas” between 2000 and 2010.
6. There are more than 85,000 streetlights in Detroit, but thieves have
stripped so much copper wiring out of the lights that more than half of
them are not working.
7. It has been estimated that there are more than 1,000 homeless people
living in the massive network of flood tunnels under the city of Las
Vegas.
8. If you can believe it, more than 11,000 homes, cars and businesses
were burglarized in Oakland during 2012. That breaks down to
approximately 33 burglaries a day.
9. The murder rate in Flint, Michigan is higher than the murder rate in Baghdad.
10. If New Orleans were considered to be a separate nation, it would have the second highest murder rate on the entire planet.
11. According to the Justice Department’s, National Drug Intelligence
Center, Mexican drug cartels were actively operating in 50 different
U.S. cities in 2006. By 2010, that number had skyrocketed to 1,286.
12. Back in 2007, the number of New York City residents on food stamps
was about one million. It is now being projected that the number of New
York City residents on food stamps will pass the two million mark this
summer.
Once upon a time, Detroit was one of the greatest cities in the entire
world. The city was once so wealthy from manufacturing; its splendor
made it a Mecca for tourism. Today, Detroit has become a tourist stop
for all the wrong reasons. Here is a sad excerpt from an article in The New York Times:
“But in Detroit, the tours go on, in an unofficial capacity. One afternoon at the ruins of the 3.5-million-square-foot Packard Plant, I ran into a family from Paris. The daughter said she read about the building in “Lonely Planet.” Her father had a camcorder hanging around his neck. Another time, while conducting my own tour for a guest, a group of German college students drove up. When queried as to the appeal of Detroit, one of them gleefully exclaimed, “I came to see the end of the world!”
The key problem with Detroit and other cities is a collapse in the moral fabric of our nation. The welfare state has enslaved a huge portion of our population into a life of dependency. The number of Americans on food stamps and disability has climbed steadily over the past several years. We now have over a 100 million Americans enrolled in at least one welfare program run by the federal government.
State and local governments have become addicted to federal welfare money. For cash-strapped Florida, increasing food-stamp enrollment is seen as a key means of economic growth, bringing almost $6 billion each year into the state. Florida and other states have hired agents to find and enroll people into these programs. Many of them have monthly quotas that they need to meet.
The question that has crossed my mind many times is, “What will happen to these welfare dependant cites when the money runs out?” Detroit is already at the point where people are calling it a war zone. There would total chaos if half the people in the city suddenly lost their government handouts.
There is no doubt in my mind that the breakdown of the debt-based monetary system would force governments around the world to declare martial law. What we just witnessed in Boston would be the perfect template.
The occurrence of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture will only makes matter worse. Since believers are part of the financial backbone of America, our sudden removal would destroy what remains of the economy. Because the negative consequences of being left behind are so high, I ask everyone with any doubt to rethink where you stand with God.
“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man” (Luke 21:36).

THE FOURTH SEAL: A PALE HORSE
The next pandemic? The Spanish
Flu Influenza killed 50 to 100 million people in the 1918 outbreak and it only
had a mortality rate of 2%. H7N9 arrives with a mortality rate of 20%.
Scientists are already calling the virus one of the most lethal ever seen. The
consequences for the human race of human-to-human transmission and further
mutations of the virus are ‘unthinkable.’
One day this will happen ( Revelation 6: 7-8)
And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast
say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat
on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given onto them over
the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword (war), and with hunger
(food shortages and famines), and with death, and with the beast of the
earth. (PESTILENCE AND PLAGUES FROM ANIMALS)
Put your faith and
trust in The Lord Jesus , not this world, shift your heart
and thinking towards Jesus ... Man has no ability to cope with or
correct the massive catastrophes coming onto the world eventually ..... Men's
hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are
coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven will be shaken. (Luke 21:26)
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his
troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around about them that fear him, an
delivers them. (Psalm 34: 6-7)
World’s leading virologist warns of potential
human-to-human transmission of H7N9
Posted on April 29, 2013
by The Extinction Protocol
The next pandemic? The Spanish Flu Influenza killed 50 to 100 million people in the 1918 outbreak and it only had a mortality rate of 2%. H7N9 arrives with a mortality rate of 20%. Scientists are already calling the virus one of the most lethal ever seen. The consequences for the human race of human-to-human transmission and further mutations of the virus are ‘unthinkable.’
April 29, 2013 – CHINA – There is no evidence that the deadly H7N9 bird flu has yet spread between humans in China but health authorities must be ready for the virus to mutate at any time, a top US virologist has warned. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said officials in China had studied more than 1,000 close contacts of confirmed cases and not found any evidence of human-to-human transmission. “That is powerful evidence because if you had a thousand contacts with someone with the flu you would be pretty sure some of them would have been infected,” Fauci said in an interview with AFP. Nevertheless, Fauci cautioned that authorities needed to be ready for the possibility of the virus mutating and spreading between humans. “It’s unpredictable as are all the influenza. One of the things we need to be concerned about is this might gain the capability of going human-to-human which up to this point has not happened and is somewhat encouraging news,” Fauci said. “But we still need to be very prepared for the eventuality of that happening.” Researchers are already developing a diagnostic test to identify H7N9, along with a vaccine, with clinical trials due in July or August. “Work is under way on making a diagnostic test to be able to pick it up quickly,” Fauci said. “We have already started on an early development of a vaccine as we did with H5N1 years ago… Hopefully, we will never have to use it.” More than 110 people in mainland China have been confirmed to be infected with H7N9, with 23 deaths, since Beijing announced on March 31 that the virus had been found in humans. Most of the cases have been located in eastern China, although Taiwan has reported one case. Another case has been found in southern China, while Chinese officials confirmed a further outbreak in the central province of Hunan. Chinese authorities have identified poultry as the source of the virus and have confirmed that patients became sick from contact with infected live fowl. A visiting team from the World Health Organization, which wrapped up a week-long visit to China on Wednesday, said there had been no human-to-human transmission but warned H7N9 was “one of the most lethal” influenza viruses ever seen. Fauci praised Beijing for its handling of the current crisis, contrasting it to the response of the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2002-2003, when China stood accused of covering-up the scale of the crisis. “It was not the case with SARS in 2003 but the transparency has been excellent,” Fauci said. “I am quite satisfied with the Chinese response.” Fauci likened the current H7N9 strain of bird flu “in some respects” to the H5N1 bird flu strain of several years ago. “The similarities are that it is fundamentally a chicken or bird flu that jumps from chicken to humans and is quite severe when it infects humans,” he said. However, Fauci added: “The difference between H7N9 and H5N1, is that H5N1 kills chickens very rapidly so it is easy to identify where the infected flocks of chickens are. H7N9 doesn’t make the chicken sick, so it has been difficult to pinpoint where the infected chickens are.” There have been 566 confirmed cases of the H5N1 strain of bird flu, which killed 332 people in the world — a mortality rate of 58 percent, compared to 20 percent for the H7N9 bird flu strain. The H1N1 “swine flu” pandemic in 2009, which appeared in Mexico at the same time of year as the H7N9, eventually infected 60 million people throughout the world and killed more than 12,000. The 1918 Spanish flu, which has been called one of the deadliest plagues in human history (killing 5% of the world’s population), had a mortality rate of only two percent. –France 24
