Daniel 2:21: "He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who possess understanding. He reveals deep and secret things."
Mark 4:24-25: "Take heed to what you hear... For whoever possesses to him more shall be given, but whoever does not possess, even what he possesses shall be taken away from him".
In context, Messiah Yahushua is telling us that if we hear with discernment from Yahuweh and receive His wisdom and act on it, more wisdom will be given. If we don't act on it, we will be stripped of wisdom and help when we need it the most. Unless we are flowing daily in His Word and in obedience to it, whether written or spoken personally, then we will not receive more.
Today is June 8, 2008, and besides pandemic bird flu and other diseases to be released on us, martial law, chemical and biological weapons, nuclear weapons, and other horrors, the main concern of many who have been warning people is the imminent planned famine that is coming to the world as a whole, and to certain nations especially--like the U.S.
A Sri Lanka Diplomat recently said: “Hunger will unite us all”. It will also create world riots, civil war, and military take-over, leading to the necessity of a world ruler to bring “order out of chaos”—the Illuminati motto.
I say “planned famine” because the Illuminati think tanks, like the Club of Rome with its elite geniuses, have been planning for a long time ways of getting rid of 95%-100% of the earth’s population, as fast as possible. Diseases are too slow, they say. The use of “weather warfare”, weather manipulation, technology is destroying multi-millions of people via earthquakes, hurricanes, cyclones, tornados, tsunamis, snow blizzards, great hail, fires (ball, dry lightening), volcano eruptions, violent storms, mud slides, floods and drought—all of which also affect world food supplies. This technology is primarily in the hands of America—HAARP facility--and Russia, with its advanced scalar technology. What is more upsetting is that we have the technology to STOP hurricanes, tornados, cyclones, tsunamis, and other deadly disasters, but that has been capped…you can’t kill off mankind by stopping disasters of nature. DDT, for example, was proclaimed widely to be poisonous, and was banned throughout the world as dangerous. Yet, it is a fact that you could dust your child with DDT and nothing would happen—it was all a lie. The problem with DDT was that it killed malaria mosquitoes. It killed bad bacteria. It killed all sorts of things that destroyed food crops and people—so it was a preventative to “Eugenics”. Read the articles, “The Preservation of the Royal Seed” and “Eugenics: The Planned End of Mankind”: These tell of the “science” of eliminating human beings—and what is being done to hasten that process. It’s American based and has been around for over 100 years. We sold the ideas to Hitler, and then funded his continuous experiments in Eugenics and DNA manipulation, using Jews and Christians as victims. After the war, we brought many of these Nazi scientists and doctors to the U.S. to continue the experiments on the American people, through the American Medical Association, and psychiatry and other branches of “science”. That’s why in the late 1940s so many experiments began on us—psychological, emotional and physical. It is openly spoken of by men like Ted Turner, that the world’s population has to get down to at least 150 million people… The world’s rich elite are looking for eternal life in bionic bodies.
They are not going to die—so they think. They will rule the earth and all its resources, so they think.
The Scriptures speak in detail of America as “end-time Babylon”--a post-1948 nation. I’m hearing of military personnel, secular people as well as Torah-guarding believers who are preparing to exit end-time Babel before the promises of judgment come to pass.
Here are examples of Scriptures that pin-point America as end-time Babel: Read carefully in context, prayerfully, Jeremiah 50, 51, Isaiah 47 with Revelation 18, for starters, and look up these admonitions to us from our loving Father: Jeremiah 50:8, 51:6, 45, Revelation 18:4; Zechariah 2:7.
I’ve done a complete study on these chapters in the article: “End Time Babylon.” Read the article on the “safe zone” prepared by Yahuweh: “The Re-gathering and Preservation of All The Tribes of Jacob.” I lived in Edom for eight years, on the Red Sea, and saw the fulfillment of major prophecies for the protection of His remnant in the last of the last days.
Because of what is planned for end-time Babel, we must always be ready to meet the Master with dignity and blamelessness, with purity of heart, and free from all sin. The admonition of Amos 4:12b is for all of us, “Prepare to meet your Elohim”. Our eternal destination and position is at stake now. Our priority must be to be friends with the coming King.
In my article, “Yahuweh’s Pattern of Judgment”, I talk about His ten-pattern of judgment. The top four means that He uses to judge are: 1) famine, 2) disease/pestilence, 3) war, and 4) the beasts of the earth.
Scarcity of food (famine) is a major weapon of man’s warfare—and in the article “Famine” I show examples of this. As with Nebuchadnezzar’s siege of Jerusalem, he waited to move in until the people were starving to death. Russian nuclear submarines are right now sitting off our east coast, and have their military on our north and south borders, and submarines along our west coast along with the Communist Chinese, who are also in the Gulf of Mexico—all in cloaked nuclear submarines. When we are weak and/or if we attack Iran, they will move in on us. They already have quite a few of their military on our soil anyway—many Russians in military bases and on our border with Mexico. Jeremiah says that we are attacked from our “utmost borders”—our extremities. In my article “Daniel 8” I do a study, showing it to be from March 20, 2003 until the rise of anti-messiah—all about America and Iraq and Iran.
Ezekiel 14:12-23 discusses this four-pattern of Yahuweh. It is amazing how many passages of the Bible discuss famine as a means of Yahuweh’s judgment.
I am hearing from many sources that by September (2008), things will begin to change for the worst—possibilities of martial law, famine, economic collapse, disease, and other things…but primarily famine.
We are one crop away from famine worldwide. In the article “Airports and Food Riots”, I tell about the riots in Haiti, and Egypt. But, now there are riots in other countries, too. If the food supply is cut in America, think about how the American citizens will react, or if the banks shut down, or if a pandemic killer disease was released (all created in either American or English laboratories). Think about what would happen if Barak Hussein Mohammed Obama (that’s his full name) was assassinated before he could take office—that would start race riots of both black Americans and/or Muslims. Many black Americans are Muslims. Hillary and others have alluded to that possibility. My article: “More Fuel For the Fire” discusses what is ahead politically, with the possibility of President George W. staying in office.
The Mormon Church is telling their people to store food for 18 months. That’s a lot of food. But, when people are hungry they’ll do things that they would never dream of doing otherwise—like steal or kill for food from their neighbors. As I said in the article “What Began on Jekyll Island Is About To Fall”, some National Guard Units are being trained for an outbreak of cannibalism in America. You must realize that this is very, very realistic.
I listen to about 20 minutes of NBC Nightly News most evening when I am in the U.S. They are starting to give us pieces of a very serious picture puzzle that we need to note.
Quote from George Orwell: “The war (any national or international war you might think of) is not meant to be won—it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchal society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance (keeping its citizens controllable). In principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects—not to gain victory over Europe or Asia but to keep the structure of society intact”. (Italics mine)
This statement is generic for all wars in all countries—for the basic reason for all war is economics. All wars are “money wars” started by the ruling class in order to gain something for their selfish agendas, for more money, or land, or control of some kind. A fearful, weak, controllable, poor and starving people, are easily manipulated and usable for expendable slaves. America is fast becoming a feudal society—the rich and the poor slaves. America is also moving towards being a fascist society—again the rich and powerful are the rulers over the poor expendable citizens, whom they will try to keep quiet and controlled by military might.
By 2009, it is expected that the food level will be so low that we will be in famine conditions. Others say that famine will begin hitting this Fall (2008)—as well as possible martial law and other disasters by September/October. A director of one of the world’s biggest food suppliers told Steve Quayle that famine has been planned to begin in the Fall of 2008.
I have been saying since about March 2007, when our Father first revealed it to me, that on September 29, 2008/2009 Hebrew creation calendar day 1, Yom Teruah, Feast of Trumpets, we will begin the first year of the last seven-year cycle before Messiah Yahushua comes. This particular timeframe has been confirmed by other serious students of the Word, by physicists, by other scientists, by government leaders, and others in-tune with the times.
In Genesis 41, we see that there are two sets of sevens given by Yahuweh—the first set are very prosperous years, and the second set are seven years of famine, brought on by drought from the forward-moving, destroying east wind. The word for this east wind in the Bible is “kadim”. The ruling party of Israel now is “Kadima”. In my article “The Shmittah Year Prophecy” I give the details of this chapter as it pertains to 2008 to 2015—Yom Teruah to Yom Teruah. If you have not read this trilogy of articles, please read them in this order for more understanding of these things: 1) “The Shmittah Year Prophecy” 2) “The Forty-Eight Hour Transition” 3) “The September 12, 2007 Report”. Also, these add to more understanding about timing: “Pole Shift” and “What The World’s Elite Are Doing to Prepare Their Ark?”
The seals of Revelation 6 are over ¼ of the earth. They were released September 29, 2000, Yom Teruah. Seals 1-5 have been unleashed over Africa, south Asia, and parts of the Middle East. But, the effects of these seals/plagues will spread to other parts of the earth as the Revelation 8 “trumpet judgments” are manifested over 1/3 of the earth. I do not come to these conclusions on my own, nor from my human reasoning. I study from Genesis to Revelation on any subject, and have studied and taught on the end times for over 40 years. Then our Father leads me to the current-day fact, and brings confirmation of what He has shown me as His Spirit has taught me. Right now, I am getting a deluge of confirmation on these things from many sources.
When you are daily being led by Him, He shows you things to come, as was promised—John 16:13, Amos 3:7 and etc. The article, “You Can Know” will erase the lies we’ve taught that have kept us in the dark.
Revelation 6:6: The Black Horse: “…a quart of wheat for a days wage; three quarts of barley for a day’s wage”.
What are the two main basic world food products that are in danger now? – Wheat and rice. The wheat fields are not being planted fully, neither are fields of other foods. This year many crops are being planted late. This summer (2008) it is predicted that rainfall will be diminished in the very areas where we grow our nation’s food. Weather warfare manipulation can bring drought conditions, floods and other situations that will endanger crops. As has been said by weather scientists, “there are no natural weather patterns on earth now”—all have been manipulated and changed by man’ intervention.
A great percentage of our corn crop is going to produce ethanol. The land once used for tomatoes and peppers, onions, and other vegetables and grains, are being used to grow corn for ethanol. How is ethanol going to affect our lives—especially if there is no food, disease, no fuel, no electricity, water shortages, and martial law?
Laws are now being made by the elite Illuminists saying that the common man can only have so much food stored or else it is “illegal hoarding”. Yet, they are storing food in underground warehouses by the tons upon tons—the good stuff—not genetically altered low food value stuff like they sell us—because they want to survive.
I heard that Dr. Phil had an emotionally unstable lady on his show telling her problems, and his advise was that the root of her problem was that she was hoarding food. So, that puts it into the minds of many that hoarding food and being an unstable crackpot go together.
On the NBC Nightly News a couple of weeks ago, they interviewed a man who naively showed his stash of food in his garage, and his stash of water, saying he was preparing for hard times. Yet, the news lady, as they were panning his water supply, said, “this is an example of hoarding”. “Hoarding” is not a nice word—it implies selfishness, stinginess—a bad attitude. Yet, all the man was doing was spending his own money to stock up on food, as any wise squirrel would do for winter.
When I was in Tennessee in February, some told me that a case of “bird flu” had been found, and they were killing the local chickens. When bird flu is purposely released, they will kill all of our poultry. Then they will find something wrong with the beef—maybe one cow with something--as they did in England--and they will kill all our cattle and sheep. Our protein foods are being destroyed.
On one broadcast of NBC Nightly News, they told about the lettuce crop in California being suspect of having Ecoli. Then they told about the disappearing salmon. Thousands of American fishermen on our west coast are out of work because of the disappearing salmon.
On another broadcast a few days ago, they said that the government was going to stop “over fishing” of fish like red snapper, cod, yellow tuna, and albacore. They said that this over-fishing was harming our eco-system, and that 1/3 of the world’s fish were in danger.
“Deep Ecology” will be used to destroy human kind in favor of animals, snakes, reptiles, birds and rain forests. Deep Ecology says that there is no difference between a human and a raccoon, for example, and the human needs to be quarantined so that the rest of the world’s species can be free to roam unharmed. Al Gore, with his open worship of Mother Gaia, is a major spokesman for “deep ecology”.
Therefore, much of our wilderness in the U.S. is being taken over by the government and/or the United Nations, including the waterways, forests, plains and farmlands. Right now, eighty-five percent of Nevada, for example, belongs to the Federal government.
The volcanoes under the oceans are beginning to erupt, and Revelation tells us that all sea life will die, during the time of the trumpet judgments—the sea will turn to blood. The plagues of Egypt will be re-enacted, for each was a judgment on one of the gods of Egypt. These gods are still worshipped under their ancient Egyptian names, and many of their worshippers come from the very high echelon of society, including top leadership in at least two major government organizations of our Defense Department.
I wrote two detailed technical articles: “Vanishing Bees: The Tip of the Iceberg” and “Vanishing Bees Part II: Insider Information”, which tell about weather warfare. Honey bees are disappearing in several states, even in some places in England. They are not dying—they are disappearing. Most fruit and some vegetable crops are cross-fertilized by bees. This means that our fruit crops and vegetable crops are diminishing this way, too. A friend in mid-Florida said that her hornets had also disappeared. They were cross-pollinating her vegetable garden, and so her vegetables were not producing. Scalar, magnetic pulsar technology, can create waves that cause bees, hornet, whales, and salmon and other creatures to go off course, because of the beams they put into the earth.
And indeed the seas are “roaring”--Luke 21:25. America and Russia have made a pact to melt the polar caps, and Greenland’s ice fields to get the oil and gold underneath. But, also the pulsar waves—scalar weather warfare beams--going in through the seas are rattling our tectonic plates and electrifying the water. In Papua New Guinea they saw fire on the ocean waves, as gases were released from underneath and were burning. Volcanoes are going off under the seas in large numbers, and affecting our tectonic plates.
Yet, with all of this, the place that Yahuweh has zoned off for the preservation of a small remnant of His people—Edom, from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea, which contains Mt. Seir, Petra, Jordan—has good grains that have been stored by the World Food Bank since 1963, and now being stored by the U.N. The water comes from an underground river, and is some of the purest water on earth. It is His place of refuge until He comes.
Isaiah 33:16: “…his food shall be given to him and water will be sure”—(provided).
This passage is talking about those in Edom—Petra—Mt. Seir—Sela—as in Daniel 11:41 and Revelation 12:14. I watched all this preparation during eight years of living there—watching the fulfillment of Prophecy.
Fuel costs are rigged…the top oil producers are making great profits. Gas in Saudi Arabia is 45 cents a gallon. In the U.S. we have oil supplies that we’ve capped in order to get oil from Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, and Iran, Iraq and other countries, many of whom are cutting off our supply totally.
High fuel costs aid famine. The price of diesel fuel is now closing in on $5.00 a gallon. Many trucking companies are going out of business. Trains are shutting down. Airlines are in trouble. The way we get our food is being stalled. It is not going to be the price of food that gets most Americans, but the availability. The food might be out there somewhere in the world, but it won’t be able to get to us. Yet, China, with its tremendous reserve of dollars, is promising those countries that make pacts with them, that they will feed their people.
Douglas Lake Ranch in British Columbia—one of the biggest ranches in Canada—was recently bought by Communist China. They are raising cattle. They have bought a slaughterhouse, east of Prince Rupert, at a seaport.
The Chinese own Husky Oil in Alberta, Canada. When they invade the U.S., they will be able to fuel their military’s vehicles and feed them.
China is also buying massive amounts of food from America, to store up in their granaries, for the future. China is doing the “Joseph” storing—so that in times of famine their people won’t starve. Why not the U.S.? Why are we helping save Chinese, and not Americans?
James Wesley Rawles, a former Army Intelligence Office, now a lecturer and writer, has said that “Global Famine” is the number one problem on the horizon. He said that 20% of the wheat crop in America is being destroyed by some “mysterious” new fungus. I wonder what country invented the fungus?
The cyclone that hit Myanmar is one example of what weather warfare is doing to produce flood, drought, and other unnatural disasters that destroy food crops. Myanmar is the world’s seventh largest exporter of rice!
Myanmar is a military dictatorship. James says that one reason they won’t receive food aid from other countries is because they want to reduce their population—they don’t want people’s lives saved, so that their military will have fewer people to control, so that their reserve food supply won’t diminish.
This is their type of eugenics. But, these are the same reasons why nations going to a military dictatorship, like America, are trying to eliminate their populations. Less people are easier to control. The rich also want everything for themselves, so eliminate the competition.
The rice farmers in Thailand have to sleep by their rice paddies because of thieves. In buying extra food, store up on rice…and be sure to include brown rice, with the bran on, it to mix with the white rice.
Kenya is trying to forestall food riots, Peru also. In North Korea, the people are starving, but their dictator is not starving. In Somalia there are riots because of rising food costs, as in Haiti and Egypt and many other countries. So, it is very possible that starvation of the world’s people will cause the needed chaos to bring on the anti-messiah world ruler, as well as horrendous war, disease, and economic collapse.
We are entering the first of the last seven years—that means by 2012, many things will happen to bring the world ruler on the scene. In my article “Pole Shift” I give many of these scenarios—because the trumpet judgments will bring cataclysmic events, with our sun and our solar system as a whole. Even secular physicists and NASA scientists, and world leaders, are quoting Revelation chapter 8, and making provision to escape these things.
Rawles says that global instability is coming because of food shortages. Food banks in the U.S. are reporting more and more people coming for food. Wheat venders are being bought out. The wealthy are buying up the good organic grains to store for themselves.
Most of our grains are genetically altered, even with pig enzymes and vaccines added, as are some of our fruits and vegetables. Some of our grains are so devoid of food value that rats are dying in the fields from malnutrition.
As far as what would trigger martial law, Rawles lists the top three possibilities as 1) famine, 2) oil embargo 3) or economic collapse.
After the recent cyclone hit on Myanmar, the U.S. Navy set sail with food for the people. The government of Myanmar, a closed Buddhist dictatorship, blocked any aid coming in to the victims from the United States. As a result, a few days ago, our U.S. Navy ships with all that food and rescue supplies, had to turn back to the U.S., but much of the food rotted, and had to be dumped overboard.
This reminds me that a few years ago, it was a practice of the U.S. to dump excess wheat and other grains into the ocean, or bury it somehow, to keep the price of the grain up. We could have sold it to other countries or given it away to the starving, but then, we’d be hindering the “kill the world’s people” goals of the ultra elite Illuminists…the agents of Lucifer.
The thought of good food being destroyed to keep the price of grain high so that the rich can get richer, while people are dying of starvation, makes me very upset. Are food riots coming to America? – Yes!
The closer we get to the appearing of Lucifer in the flesh—anti-messiah—the world ruler—on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the more human sacrifices are being demanded by Satan/Lucifer. “Lucifer”--“Helel” in Hebrew—has one goal—to sit in the seat of Yahuweh and receive worship from Yahuweh’s creation, to destroy the image of Yahuweh in the earth and everything that bears His likeness—including seed-bearing food. He wants creatures created in his image—ugly, vicious, and totally evil. His “scientists” are working hard to destroy Yahuweh’s DNA in His highest creation—mankind—and mix it with animal, insect, reptile and plant DNA, so as to create monsters. The goal of Lucifer is in Isaiah 14:12-13. As stated here, his goal is to sit on the place of the “Ark of the Covenant”—in Jerusalem. (Psalm 48:1-2) Psalm 99:1 says that Yahuweh sits between the cherubim—on the Ark—in the heavenly Temple.
Starvation is one of the most horrible ways to die. I heard that it is more painful than most ways of death. Therefore, Lucifer and his agents, with their sadistic minds, love to see people suffer horribly before they die—and famine is a good way for them to see it. Every human being is made in the image and likeness of Yahuweh—and Lucifer wants to sadistically destroy that image and likeness.
A large amount of our fruit and vegetables comes from Chile. Multiple volcanoes are going off near the harvest fields, thus destroying that crop.
In Nevada, there is such a swarm of dangerous earthquakes taking place. If they begin to move the earth, the San Joaquin Valley (California)—a major area for the growing of fruit and vegetables—will be affected adversely.
Steve Quayle (www.stevequayle.com) said in May that his greatest grief that he lives with is that the wonderful people of America will be in a starvation situation, because they did not prepare. So many are in denial—they can’t face reality.
Also, if the predicted military quarantine is initiated by Presidential Executive Order because a pandemic disease is purposely released, for examine, famine will ensue because all Americans will be quarantined in their homes, and no one will be allowed out, or they’ll be shot. That means perhaps months of living in our homes—and not being able to get out. The scenario in the movie “I Am Legend” is very real.
It is wise to have at least nine months to a year’s worth of food…but stored so as not to draw attention. Don’t tell others you’re storing food. Be wise! The wise virgins had to tell others at one point that they couldn’t share, because they would not have enough. Religion yells “selfish” at that—yet Matthew 25:1-12 tells the story of two types of people 1) those that prepared, and 2) the “lazy fools” that didn’t prepare and wanted to mooch off the wise. (Shem Tov’s Hebrew Matthew calls the “foolish virgins” lazy fools—for so they are.)
If you are preparing for others, then do so—but make sure your own family has enough too. There are many things to consider. Garbage pick up won’t be available. How will you cook if the electricity or gas is shut off, or worse, the water is shut off? A person can die of thirst faster than from hunger.
Learn to fast days at a time and then you won’t use the food so fast. Buy on sale. Store carefully to keep rats and bugs from getting into it. Don’t get a bunch of freezer items, because if the electric grid goes down, there is a strong possibility it won’t come back up.
The bottom line is that if you are going to stay in end-time Babylon, it is best to get out of the city, get to a remote place, if possible, where you can survive better than in a crowded area. The run on grocery stores will be violent, as you can imagine, in the cities. Once the foreign troops are released on American citizens, they will have no problem shooting us. They will have no mercy or compassion for the old, the young or anyone in between. There is a high degree of Satanism in the Pentagon. Many of our leaders worship Lucifer. Many are dedicated to his purposes. They won’t hesitate to enjoy our suffering.
If you plan to flee, take everything you need at one time—leaving all else behind—because you won’t be able to go back. Father told me that back in 2006-2007, when I spent a year and a half doing intercession over the major ports of the Gulf of Mexico, and over major rivers, even in Alaska, for His fleeing people’s safety. He said it will be a one-time fleeing—they won’t be able to go back, and there will be a massive slaughter.
I advise you to store what you can quickly. You can buy 20 lb. bags of rice still, at Walmart, for between $10.00 and $12.00. Get brown rice too, for it contains bran. Legumes, like lentils, and wheat, for example, make a complete protein. Stock up on things for survival--from candles to protein powder, vitamin supplements, and beans and legumes that can be sprouted for fresh energy-providing greens. Basic medicines and first aid supplies are important.
Get out of debt as fast as possible—Father will help you. Sell what you can, lighten up, tighten ship, downsize, simplify, and get down to the bare necessities. Americans need about 2% of what they think they need.
Put your money into what will appreciate—food first. Think about what you’ll need for long-term staying in your house. The barter system will be in effect for a short time. Let our good Father instruct you as to what you are to buy, so that you don’t foolishly waste your money. I let Him tell me what to buy and what not to buy, as standard practice. But wisdom says, what you need to do, do quickly.
Many are doing nothing because of religious misinterpretation of the Word, or not knowing our Father’s nature or His ways. Many quote the words of King David: “I’ve never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging for bread”. Yet, what was David’s understanding of “righteous”? – It was not the Greco/Roman concept for sure!
To be righteous is to be set-apart to Yahuweh by guarding His Torah in obedience, fearing Him, and loving Him with all our heart, mind, and strength. He’s not talking about people with a belief system who don’t know Him.
Psalm 33:18: “See, His eye is on those fearing Him, on those waiting for His kindness, to deliver their life from death, and to keep them alive during famine”.
Fearing Him doesn’t mean a sentimental concept from Sunday School that makes us weepy. The word “fear” pertaining to Yahuweh, in the Word, means to be “terrified, petrified with fear”--so as not to displease Him.
Messiah said: “Fear not those that can kill the body, but fear Him who can kill both body and soul in hell”. (Matthew 10)
We must know Him in covenant relationship, yes, but also He has to know us. Too often Messiah tells people who want to enter His Kingdom, “Depart from Me, I do not know you”. Knowing Him comes from a walk of obedience. “If you love Me, keep My commandments”, Messiah said. Loving Him, Hebrew style, means obedience, submission, humbly yielding, and repentant contriteness. It means to follow His leading, and not going off on our headstrong way. It means listening to His “still, small voice” in our spirit and obeying. It’s our focus, our passion, our zeal, and purity of heart—which is “single-mindedness”--that causes us to draw His attention to our needs.
What is the #1 faith principle in walking with Him that draws His attention to us to show us special favor, to dote on us as His special child, to spoil us as His precious one, to provide for our every need, to direct our very steps, and talk a blue-streak to us to reassure us of His Presence? He does promise to direct the steps of the righteous ones—and steps means steps.
What causes Him to pay so much attention to some and not to others? Is He a “respecter of persons?” – No! But, faith, in His thinking, means total abandonment to following His leading in everything with no compromise, no excuses--no holding back. Those that get out of the boat get to walk on the water to go to Yahushua—It’s our choice.
The #1 principle is obedience without question or compromise.
It is said that Napoleon often showed off the loyalty of his troops to other military men by asking one to jump off a cliff to his death. Each time, the loyal one would jump off the cliff to Napoleon’s prideful glee. Our wonderful “Captain of the Host” doesn’t require that we jump to our death. But, He is proud of us when we trust Him with our lives, without questioning or throwing obstacles in His path, as they did in Luke 9:57-60. With this type of loyalty, He can trust us. What an awesome relationship of mutual trust between Creator and His Creation!
I wrote a manual on faith, called “Faith Walk”. Its companion is the article: “Daily Flowing In His Perfect Timing”. You’ll never find His perfect timing unless you are already daily flowing in obedience. He guides steps, not quantum leaps. If you are not hearing Him daily and obeying, you won’t hear Him when He tells you to do something to save your life.
“Waiting” on Him is an action word—meaning to serve, to be bound to Him as a cord is bound together. He’s also not going to tell us anymore until we begin to move on what He’s already said in His Word.
The time of His “striving with man” is over. In my article “Time of Warning”, I give the true scenario—the Word has warned us, and if we’re too lazy or too scared, or too irresponsible to obey, then there’s nothing more He can do for us. If we fool around and don’t act on His warnings, our blood is on our own hands.
Ezekiel 33: If the watchman warns and the warning is not heeded, then the blood is not on the watchman’s hands but on the one who rejects the warning.
Yahuweh is not going to give you a “rhema”—a spoken word—until you obey His “logos”--written Word. He’s told us to get out of end-time Babylon to save our lives. If at all possible, we must obey. And for most of us, we can obey—we just have to let go of what is psychologically holding us back. We have to let go of the “Rich young ruler syndrome” and the “Lot’s wife syndrome”.
Some are infirmed. Some are of old age, dependent on others for help, blind, crippled, or already dying of disease. Some are alone and without help. He will protect the pure of heart towards Him. He will honor those who are flowing in obedience to Him, no matter what their physical condition.
Jeremiah 32:17 and 27 is for now, for everyone: “Ah Master Yahuweh! See, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You…See, I am Yahuweh, the Elohim of all flesh, is there anything too hard for Me?” There will be many miracles for the pure of heart, set-apart ones, who guard His Covenant, in the evil days!
But, just because a person is helpless, dependent, or infirmed, doesn’t automatically bring down mercy. There are many who have lived their lives in sin, lawlessness, and away from Him—therefore they are not in covenant with Him. This is why He does not help all the hungry, the sick, and the needy. He can only respond to faith—which is obedience to Him. “Without faith it is impossible to please Him”—Hebrews 11:6. Unless a person has entered covenant and guards covenant with Him, or He knows will come into covenant with Him, he cannot deny what He is—Light—a consuming fire. Light and darkness can’t mix. If a person is a five-star athlete, or crippled, or blind—and are living in darkness of sin, lawlessness, He can’t help either one. The criteria for His helping is obedience to His Word.
Read carefully John 14:15, 21-24, and the whole Bible while you’re at it—there is no mushy slushy Greek love in the Bible—no unconditional love is in there—there are conditions for being in favor with the Elohim of Light. It is said of Him, “He is light, and in Him is no darkness at all”. (I John 1:5)
Therefore, those that are in need of His covenant people, who are humbly depending on Him for help—oh yes, He will help! Isaiah 41:10 is for them!
The basis of discipleship is found in Luke 14:25-33—“except you take up your execution stake, you cannot be My disciple”, “unless you forsake all that you have, you cannot be My disciple”. Total death to self and uncompromising obedience is the foundation of discipleship and relationship with Elohim.
This attitude of abandonment to His will can be in the life of a blind person, a crippled person, and old person. He will take care of them with loving care.
It’s all about relationship!
But, for us who can obey His admonitions to save our lives, He expects us to sell all that we can, pay off our debts, pack our bags, tie up all loose ends with relationships, ask the forgiveness of all we’ve offended, and be ready to leave quickly, without any strings, or heavy luggage, attached. If possible, also, we need to help those who can’t get out of the “household of faith”—by leaving them food, water, a place to live, money (for however long it is any good) and loving hope. The admonition to help the widow, the orphan, the poor and homeless is to be done at His direction—we can’t help everyone. But, everyone can help someone.
Three small examples—since I live by His kind of faith:
1) I had a room full of clothes to ship to my orphanage and to pastors under my care in Africa. I had only a small path to my bed--the whole room was filled up. I had no money at all to send the boxes—for it would cost at least $600.00. I sat on my bed and cried. Father spoke to me to pack it all up and address the boxes and put them by my front door. I did so. THEN, the day after I put all the boxes by the front door ready to go, a letter arrived with a note saying that Father had told them to give me $600.00 for Africa.
2) We needed to sell our house in North Carolina at a time when no houses were selling. Father had called us to move to Texas. So, we packed everything up, and when it was all packed up, THEN He miraculously sent a buyer.
3) I had reserved a ticket to return to Africa in 1997. I had no money for the ticket, and it had to be paid for by Tuesday. But, I did everything to prepare to go. By Sunday I still had no money. One hour before the time I had to pay for the ticket or lose it, THEN miraculously I had the money.
The principle is this: Begin to act on what He’s said, THEN He will provide the money, the means, the direction details, and all that is necessary for total victory. But, unless you get moving He won’t do anything—He has to SEE your faith in action or He figures you don’t mean it. He wants us to seek Him with all of our heart—He wants our passion.
If you are sitting around waiting for Him to tell you to do something, you’ll be sitting there when the military comes to take you to the concentration camp. If you’re not already flowing, like a moving river, in His will daily, then you are stagnating on the river bank somewhere. Obedience is a daily lifestyle. Relationship means having a constant open communication line.
I’ve known some who were called to the mission field years ago, but are still waiting for the money, or waiting for their child to finish “world brain” college, or waiting for something—and they’ve still not gone in obedience to His will. He won’t provide or give direction until we are moving towards what He has said to do—THEN He opens the door, like the automatic doors at the grocery store that open as we approach them. So many are waiting in their lovely homes, with good jobs and goals for advancement, social climbing, and etc., but it is all over. “Noah and his family” are being sealed in the ark, and the rest of the world is content to eat, drink and be merry—totally blinded to the fact that judgment is coming upon us.
I travel extensively. I have to hear from Him daily. It is hard for me to walk sometimes, yet I go forward one step at a time by His mercy. Today, I got my seating on the plane to the UK by following His instructions to call the airline…even though my ticket said to wait until check-in. If I had not obeyed His voice in my spirit I would not have gotten my aisle seat that I have to have.
He directs as we walk through our day. Consistent obedience in the small things daily makes it easier to obey in the big things!
But, for so many, they are not even moving on getting out of debt, or downsize, or simplify--even though that admonition has gone out from His prophets since the 1980s. So many are not trying to sell what they have and give to the poor, in order to follow Him. The story of the rich young man in Luke 18:18-30 is an American tragedy—just like with Lot’s wife in Genesis 19—too bound to things, to money and position, to people and to a life of ease and comfort, that they won’t even make preparations to save themselves. Most are so content that they won’t even leave captivity to go visit their eternal homeland. He says His eye is on one nation and one city—only! – Israel and Jerusalem. We choose how we want to spend our money—choose priorities!
Religion presents concepts--not reality. No religion is of Yahuweh or Yahushua, for they are all man-made and all Luciferic-based—all of them. Yahuweh never started Judaism and Yahushua never started “Christianity”.
Therefore, many who say they believe, don’t really believe, because they are not preparing for the Kingdom—they are too content with this world.
Our eternal life is on this earth in the land of Israel. He had to scatter, as the ultimate punishment, His people into all nations. He spoke to me once: “All of My people outside of My land are in captivity”.
We are slaves here in Babylon/Egypt—made to think we are happy and secure by our mind programmers. Happy slaves are controllable slaves. People here are slaves to debt, drugs, food, entertainment, positions, jobs, social status, people, and on and on. Yet, they think they’re free. We need to study the Word and find out what real freedom really is. Freedom is being yoked to Yahushua and following Him wherever He goes. He won’t follow us—we must follow Him.
We are a pilgrim people—we are not part of the Luciferic world system—we are to be set-apart from it. (Leviticus 20:7-8, 26; Hebrews 11:8-10, 13-16)
Make your preparations. But, above all, get rid of useless busy-ness (for it is part of the programming of the evil ones--Read: “Quiet Wars and Silent Weapons” to see what’s been done to us.) Make your priority to get into His Word and let Him teach you (John 16:13; I John 2:27), and share what He has taught you with your family and others.
Many are warning people now—many good Christians in America are giving their lives to warn people. There is one problem with their warning. They are telling people to prepare to stay in America. But, there is no realism in that. What is planned for America is so horrendous that the Word tells us “no flesh” will be left alive here. This is captivity—Babylon. This is not our homeland. We need to understand that we are in captivity, and are moving quickly into a satanic takeover.
Our homeland is Israel. But, it is not easy to live there. It is NO “holy land”! Revelation 11 tells us that Jerusalem would be called “Sodom and Egypt” and so it is now. He has provided Edom for a remnant of all the tribes, and the tunnels under Jerusalem for His Jewish remnant. But, there is a people who will do “exploits” during the time of tribulation. (Daniel 11:32) This people have His authority backing, and He knows them and trusts them. Please read the article on these end-time companies of people: “The Two Witnesses, The Bridal Remnant, The Forerunning Companies, and The Fleeing Remnant”.”
Most Americans are too weak in all ways to live in another country, because of the ease, comfort, and fantasy world of American culture. There are places besides Edom and Israel that some are going to—like Panama. The thing is to prepare to go—then He’ll direct as to where. He won’t direct if you are not packed and ready! One way to prepare is to get the Lonely Planet travel book on where you feel He is leading you and study it. Go on-line on the Internet and study the area, the culture, and the requirements for your living there. Buy maps of those areas. Rent travel videos or documentary videos or DVDs of areas that you feel led to…do all that you can, and THEN He will guide you.
Stay in prayer. Align your will to His will.
Above all, stay in faith. Fear and faith cannot mix, for fear is of the darkness, and faith is of the light. “Fear Not! I will help you” is His promise. But, fear prevents Him from being able to help us. If we are into fear, anxiety, fretting, anger, bitterness—upset of any kind—He CANNOT communicate with us, for He is light and in Him is no darkness. If we are born of the Spirit, we have “fruit”—proof of our new nature—Galatians 5:22-24. One of these “fruit” is self-control. We have a will. We do not have to fall apart. We can know the Word, know Him, and rest in Him. We can overcome!
Sunset today in Israel begins Sha’vu’ot—Pentecost. It is the celebration of the giving of the Torah—the teachings and instructions of the Kingdom of heaven for our good, always, and the giving of the Set-Apart Spirit of Yahuweh by our Messiah Yahushua to those who ask for His infilling (Exodus 19-20 and Acts 2, Luke 3:16 and 11:13). When the mind shuts down from too much terror and horror, those who know how to hear Him in their re-born spirit, will overcome and keep going. Pray that you are filled always with His Spirit, so that He can lead you in your spirit, when your soul (mind, will, emotions and reasoning powers) is shut down, or can’t think straight.
Chag Sameach!
Shalom and love,
