Many people in the Evangelical Christian community fail to understand the true underlying cause of the Secular Left’s antagonism for the Christian Right of America. Many Christians assume it is because of our opposition to abortion, or the homosexual lifestyle, or our desire for alternative theories to evolution to be taught in the classroom; and while all of these are related to the Secular Left’s vitriol, none of them strike to the core of the matter. No, there is a much deeper and far less recognized cause for the Secular Left’s animosity for the Evangelical Christian community.

Most the world seethes as Israel defends itself
By Stan Goodenough
Dec 28, 2008
The international community was in uproar at the weekend following Israel's decision to finally act against the relentless rain of rockets on Jewish communities in the south of the country.
Only the United States and Great Britain indicated an understanding for the Israeli action and laid the blame for the crisis firmly at Hamas' door.
“Hamas’ continued rocket attacks into Israel must cease if the violence is to stop,” said White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe.

ISRALESTINE-The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East
By Bill Salus
© Prophecy in the News
5 STAR - Book Review By Bob Ulrich
There’s a war on the horizon. The student of prophecy can feel it in his bones as the prophetic warnings of the Old Testament prophets come into view. Just recently, Russian tanks swept across the landscape of democratic Georgia, destroying everything in their path as the Georgian people begged for mercy. Russia has also claimed ownership of the North Pole and the rich mineral rights that go along with it. Oil is the new gold. And the Cold War is over, right?
Russian strongman, Vladimir Putin, has completed his term as Russian President, but somehow, he’s kept his hands on the Russian military machine. The Russian Bear is on the move again and its pockets are lined with increasing oil revenues, likely generated from America’s attempt to fight worldwide terrorism.
On another war front, Iranian madman, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, continues to threaten Israel with annihilation, as his country moves down the perilous path to nuclear capability. Ahmadinejad seems to have a death wish, purposely rattling his saber in hopes of creating and apocalyptic scenario that would leave Iran in the good graces of the Mahdi, the Muslim Messiah. Russia and Iran are perfect partners for the last days.
The stage is set, the players are in place and soon, Russia, along with the jittery, Iranian posse, will attack little Israel and get the surprise of a lifetime! Yes, it’s the Battle of Gog and Magog that many of us think could be right around the next bend in the road.
But according to Bill Salus, author of Isralestine: The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle Ease, you need to read the Old Testament again. Salus says that Obadiah, Zephaniah, and Zechariah had some major things to say about today’s warmongering in the Middle East. Suffice it to say that the ancient hatred between Israel and its biblical neighbors has been fast forwarded to the 21st century and a new battle of long time enemies may be about to begin.
According to the author, there is a big war on the horizon, but not the one you expect. Salus takes us to Psalm 83 and introduces us to what he believes is the regional war that must take place before Russia and Iran come down against Israel:
“They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent; they are confederate against thee” (Psalm 83:4-5)
J. R. and Gary have been talking about Psalm 83 for many years, along with the destruction of Damascus in Isaiah 17, but someone has finally penned a book on this complicated subject! I don’t think you’ll find another book out there on the preliminary war to the Battle of Gog and Magog. But be forewarned. This book is not without controversy as Salus introduces some unusual ideas on this war, the future of Islam, the future of Israel, and the Palestinian people.
Salus takes us to Ezekiel 38 and points out that Israel's surrounding neighbors are nowhere to be found in the Battle of Gog and Magog. Where are their lifetime archenemies? Syria? Jordan? Egypt? Saudi Arabia? Lebanon? The Palestinians? How could Russia and Iran fight a war against Israel and keep these perpetual antagonists away? According to Bill Salus, it’s simple. At the time Gog and Magog takes place, Israel has already conquered her ancient enemies in a dramatic and convincing military victory, greatly expanding her borders while plundering the wealth of these Arab nations. This is the event that draws Russia and Iran down from the north as they see Israel taking control of the wealth of the Middle East.
Isralestine offers a fantastic summation on the miraculous restoration of the nation of Israel. He builds the foundation of the book around the reliability of the Abrahamic Covenant. Unfortunately, according to the author, 85% of mainline Christian churches are now embracing Replacement Theology, teaching that the church has replaced Israel in God’s future plans. Once you read this book, you won’t be able to even consider that flawed perspective.
The roots of this ancient family hatred can be traced all the way back to the Garden of Eden, but Salus does a great job in showing many Old Testament events in a new light. The fractured relationship between Isaac and Ishmael; the nasty relationship between Sarah and Hagar, and the peculiar relationship between Jacob and Esau will all take on new meaning for you after Salus opens up your eyes to what might have been happening in their world during several well-chronicled, life changing events.
He’ll show you why God chose Israel to be the “apple of His eye,” and why he chose to punish them and scatter them to the four corners of the earth. He’ll explain the Holocaust and show you why the Antichrist has a sequel planned for the Jewish people and why they will be caught off guard. Best of all he’ll show you why God has chosen to bring them back to the Holy Land and restore them to prominence.
While many Christians are looking for a peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinians, Salus is looking for war. Many of God’s ancient prophecies concerning the destruction of Israel’s enemies have yet to be fulfilled, but that could change quickly. God said, “I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee.” The enemies of Israel need to be on high alert because our covenant-honoring God always keeps His promises.

Cast your Bread upon the Waters
This came from my friend Thom Burk...It's a great Christmas time story...
– Author Unknown
The man slowly looked up. This was a woman clearly accustomed to the finer things of life. Her coat was new. She looked like that she had never missed a meal in her life. His first thought was that she wanted to make fun of him, like so many others had done before.
"Leave me alone," he growled. To his amazement, the woman continued standing. She was smiling – her even white teeth displayed in dazzling rows.
"Are you hungry?" she asked.
"No," he answered sarcastically. "I've just come from dining with the president. Now go away." The woman's smile became even broader. Suddenly the man felt a gentle hand under his arm.
"What are you doing, lady?" the man asked angrily. "I said to leave me alone!"
Just then a policeman came up. "Is there any problem, ma'am?" he asked.
"No problem here, officer," the woman answered. "I'm just trying to get this man to his feet. Will you help me?"
The officer scratched his head. "That's old Jack. He's been a fixture around here for a couple of years. What do you want with him?"
"See that cafeteria over there?" she asked. "I'm going to get him something to eat and get him out of the cold for awhile."
"Are you crazy, lady?" the homeless man resisted. "I don't want to go in there!" Then he felt strong hands grab his other arm and lift him up. "Let me go, officer. I didn't do anything."
"This is a good deal for you, Jack," the officer answered. "Don't blow it."
Finally, and with some difficulty, the woman and the police officer got Jack into the cafeteria and sat him at a table in a remote corner. It was the middle of the morning, so most of the breakfast crowd had already left and the lunch bunch had not yet arrived. The manager strode across the cafeteria and stood by his table.
"What's going on here, officer?" he asked. "What is all this. Is this man in trouble?"
"This lady brought this man in here to be fed," the policeman answered.
"Not in here!" the manager replied angrily. "Having a person like that here is bad for business."
Old Jack smiled a toothless grin. "See, lady? I told you so. Now if you'll let me go. I didn't want to come here in the first place."
The woman turned to the cafeteria manager and smiled. "Sir, are you familiar with Eddy and Associates, the banking firm down the street?"
"Of course I am," the manager answered impatiently. "They hold their weekly meetings in one of my banquet rooms."
"And do you make a goodly amount of money providing food at these weekly meetings?"
"What business is that of yours?"
"I, sir, am Penelope Eddy, President and CEO of the company."
"Oh."
The woman smiled again. "I thought that might make a difference." She glanced at the cop who was busy stifling a giggle. "Would you like to join us in a cup of coffee and a meal, officer?"
"No thanks, ma'am," the officer replied. "I'm on duty."
"Then, perhaps, a cup of coffee to go?"
"Yes, ma'am. That would be very nice."
The cafeteria manager turned on his heel "I'll get your coffee for you right away, officer."
The officer watched him walk away. "You certainly put him in his place," he said.
"That was not my intent. Believe it or not, I have a reason for all this." She sat down at the table across from her amazed dinner guest she stared at him intently. "Jack, do you remember me?"
Old Jack searched her face with his old, rheumy eyes "I think so – I mean you do look familiar."
"I'm a little older perhaps," she said. "Maybe I've even filled out more than in my younger days when you worked here, and I came through that very door, cold and hungry."
"Ma'am?" the officer said questioningly. He couldn't believe that such a magnificently turned out woman could ever have been hungry.
"I was just out of college," the woman began. "I had come to the city looking for a job, but I couldn't find anything. Finally I was down to my last few cents and had been kicked out of my apartment. I walked the streets for days. It was February and I was cold and nearly starving. I saw this place and walked in on the off chance that I could get something to eat."
Jack lit up with a smile. "Now I remember you," he said. "I was behind the serving counter. You came up and asked me if you could work for something to eat. I said that it was against company policy."
"I know," the woman continued. "Then you made me the biggest roast beef sandwich that I had ever seen, gave me a cup of coffee, and told me to go over to a corner table and enjoy it. I was afraid that you would get into trouble. Then, when I looked over, I saw you put the price of my food in the cash register I knew then that everything would be all right."
"So you started your own business?" Old Jack asked.
"I got a job that very afternoon. I worked my way up. Eventually I started my own business, which, with the help of God, prospered." She opened her purse and pulled out a business card. "When you are finished here, I want you to pay a visit to a Mr. Lyons. He's the personnel director of my company. I'll go talk to him now and I'm certain he'll find something for you to do around the office." She smiled. "I think he might even find the funds to give you a little advance so that you can buy some clothes and get a place to live until you get on your feet. If you ever need anything, my door is always opened to you."
There were tears in the old man's eyes. "How can I ever thank you?" He asked.
"Don't thank me," the woman answered. "To God goes the glory. Thank Jesus. He led me to you."
Outside the cafeteria, the officer and the woman paused at the entrance before going their separate ways. "Thank you for all your help, officer," she said.
"On the contrary, Ms. Eddy," he answered. "Thank you. I saw a miracle today, something that I will never forget. And thank you for the coffee."
The Bible says, "Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days" (Ecc 11:1 ESV). Giving isn't about receiving, yet we know the Lord always remembers those who unselfishly help those who are truly in need. I felt this story beautifully illustrated how this can be true….

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye...
I think there are certain prophecies yet to be fulfilled before the 2nd coming, but MANY disagree with me...and I hope they are right! In such a time as ye think not...
So now what?
OK! We know the government of the USA is being subverted before our eyes. We know the schools are subverted, teaching the world planners/servers interests, and not national sovereignty interests. We have been informed that the Roman Catholic church is behind MUCH of the darkness and is often the "man behind the curtain". Most main line media is controlled by the Council on Foreign Relations, our nation sovereignty is a joke, our constitution has been shredded, and is in fact in danger of being scrapped for a "more up to date version" in reflecting more current social drift. !?!?
Is any of this surprising to you? Is anything actually coming to pass that we weren't looking for to come to pass? We are frustrated that it's happening now, to us, and not some future generation. But here we are. So now what? So now we keep on believing that all things work together for the good to those that love Jesus.
Now many advocate joining groups of militia-minded "patriots" willing to kill US citizens who would infringe upon their "rights" as US citizens and Christian believers...but true Christianity rebukes militia-mindedness! Jesus said "if my kingdom were of this age, then my people would fight" indicating we are NOT to physically destroy the wicked. (I guess those ascribing to the preterist philosophy may feel OK with physical violence against non-believers who accost Christians...I will be told soon their position.) You'll get that from the New World Servers Christian sheepfold soon enough. Those that think they serve "Christ" by killing bible believers unwilling to compromise for P.E.A.C.E.
John the baptist (baptizer, not a member of the protestant denomination) told the Roman soldier when asked what he was supposed to do...being a Roman soldier...do violence to no man!
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal (physical), but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, bringing every thought into captivity unto the obedience of Christ. On our knees we are taller than trees!
We war NOT against flesh and blood, but against powers, and principalities, spiritual wickedness in high places! If we were to physically attack those who plan our demise, then I would advocate bombing the next Bilderberger meeting, but that would be devilishly wrong. God used war in the Old Testament as a physical means of expressing spiritual realities, but teaches us in the New Testament that all of the Old Testament was given to lead us to Christ! Now we have the examples of both walking in righteousness, and unrighteousness with the rewards of each!
Submission to the will of God (Jesus) will bring us personal peace even in the midst of tribulation until the Kingdom of God is physically set up on Earth. The Kingdom of God currently is a Spiritual Kingdom we abide in, and are ambassadors of. After Jesus returns, the physical Kingdom will be established, and Jesus will rule the nations with a rod of iron.
Don't forget who you really serve, and his power to save, protect, or resurrect. You may be required to surrender you life before Jesus returns. Here is a question I pose often at church: when Stephen was martyred, was he overcome by the world, or did he overcome evil with good? Stephen was the first martyr of the church and gloriously overcame the world! He only died in the flesh but will resurrect in incomprehensible victory!
We win! As long as you stay true to Jesus, and his word, you can't lose! You may endure hardship; you may endure suffering. You may not! You probably will. Settle it in your heart before faced with it. All the apostles were martyred except John, and they attempted to kill him too. Do you think you are above the apostles? Are you above Jesus. Remember he said if they hated him they will hate us too. Paul wrote ...that I might know him in the power of the resurrection and in the fellowship of his suffering. Read about the persecuted church in China, and Muslim countries. Pastors of house churches are having their tongues cut out, and are being nailed to the walls of the homes they meet in while the church watches. Do you believe they will lose their reward? I don't. Just because it isn't happening here yet doesn't mean that it isn't slated for us. We still win!
God Bless, and don't worry, turn all your fears over to him. He'll never let you down. You may not understand why all that transpires, comes to you...but remember Job. Nothing the devil did to Job happened without being screened first by God. And God knew ultimately that Job would end up doubly blessed for all of it. God double bless.

NEWS BRIEF: "Bailout approved: Automakers to get $17.4B", Excite News, December 19, 2008
This today from cuttingedge.org
"WASHINGTON (AP) - Citing danger to the national economy, President Bush approved an emergency bailout of the U.S. auto industry Friday, offering $17.4 billion in rescue loans in exchange for tough concessions from the deeply troubled carmakers and their workers."
This next sentence is purely Fascism!
"The government will have the option of becoming a stockholder in the companies, much as it has with major banks, in effect partially nationalizing the industry."
In a Fascist Economy, the government owns a portion of the key companies, which gives its officials the leverage to severely regulate every company within the entire economy. We are truly marching toward Fascism, both in economics and in politics.
President-elect Obama immediately signaled his approval of Bush's actions.
"President-elect Barack Obama, who takes office a month from Saturday, praised the White House move. 'Today's actions are a necessary step to help avoid a collapse in our auto industry that would have devastating consequences for our economy and our workers," he said. "With the short-term assistance provided by this package, the auto companies must bring all their stakeholders together - including labor, dealers, creditors and suppliers - to make the hard choices necessary to achieve long-term viability'."
The fix is in! The march toward thorough government regulation of the entire economy is irrevocable; and, the undiscerning Americans are cheering the move to economic and political dictatorship. In the short term, before the planned World War III, Americans will believe that prosperity has returned. Consumer confidence should bounce back rather quickly in the Obama term.

NEWS BRIEF: "More Than 650 Scientists Dissent Over Warming Claims", Hawaii Reporter, 12/11/2008
This from cuttingedge.org.
"Over 650 dissenting scientists from around the globe challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United Nations Intergovernemntal Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and former Vice President Al Gore. This new 231-page U.S. Senate Minority Report report -- updated from 2007’s groundbreaking report of over 400 scientists who voiced skepticism about the so-called global warming “consensus” -- features the skeptical voices of over 650 prominent international scientists, including many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN IPCC."
"The over 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007."
"The chorus of skeptical scientific voices grow louder ... as a steady stream of peer-reviewed studies, analyses, real world data and inconvenient developments challenged the UN and former Vice President Al Gore's claims that the 'science is settled' and there is a 'consensus'. On a range of issues, 2008 proved to be challenging for the promoters of man-made climate fears.
Promoters of anthropogenic warming fears endured the following: Global temperatures failing to warm; Peer-reviwed studies predicting a continued lack of warming; a failed attempt to revive the discredited 'Hockey Stick'; inconvenient developments and studies regarding CO2; the Sun; Clouds; Antarctica; the Arctic; Greenland; Mount Kilimanjaro; Hurricanes; Extreme Storms; Floods; Ocean Acidification; Polar Bears; lack of atmospheric dust; the failure of oceans to warm and rise as predicted.
"In addition, the following developments further secured 2008 as the year the 'consensus' collapsed."

The ascension of the extremely Liberal Barack Obama to the White House is likely to save the Global Warming Movement from collapse. Even though scientific evidence is strongly moving against Global Warming, Obama and his Energy Chief Steven Chu are going to be able to daily claim that Global Warming is scientifically correct and needs drastic action to prevent the kind of scenario painted by "The Day After Tomorrow".
The Administration propaganda machine, in cooperation with a willing Mass Media, will be able to bury any and all scientific protestations to the contrary and galvanize support from the American citizenry. This development moves the world yet closer to a Global Authority, a Global Government.
"Over 650 dissenting scientists from around the globe challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United Nations Intergovernemntal Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and former Vice President Al Gore. This new 231-page U.S. Senate Minority Report report -- updated from 2007’s groundbreaking report of over 400 scientists who voiced skepticism about the so-called global warming “consensus” -- features the skeptical voices of over 650 prominent international scientists, including many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN IPCC."
"The over 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007."
"The chorus of skeptical scientific voices grow louder ... as a steady stream of peer-reviewed studies, analyses, real world data and inconvenient developments challenged the UN and former Vice President Al Gore's claims that the 'science is settled' and there is a 'consensus'. On a range of issues, 2008 proved to be challenging for the promoters of man-made climate fears.
Promoters of anthropogenic warming fears endured the following: Global temperatures failing to warm; Peer-reviwed studies predicting a continued lack of warming; a failed attempt to revive the discredited 'Hockey Stick'; inconvenient developments and studies regarding CO2; the Sun; Clouds; Antarctica; the Arctic; Greenland; Mount Kilimanjaro; Hurricanes; Extreme Storms; Floods; Ocean Acidification; Polar Bears; lack of atmospheric dust; the failure of oceans to warm and rise as predicted.
"In addition, the following developments further secured 2008 as the year the 'consensus' collapsed."

The Secret History of the Jesuits-by Edmond Paris
"Dr. Rivera's Introduction
The most dangerous of men are those who appear very religious, especially when they are organized and in a position of authority. They have the deep respect of the people who are ignorant of their ungodly push for power behind the scenes. These religious men, who pretend to love God, will resort to murder, incite revolution and wars if necessary to help their cause. They are crafty, intelligent, smooth religious politicians who live in a shadowy world of secrets, intrigue, and phony holiness. This pattern, seen in "The Secret History of the Jesuits," spiritually speaking can be seen in the Scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees at the time of Jesus Christ. This same evil spirit directed the Roman emperors to issue the ten murderous decrees to persecute the early Christian church.
The "Early Fathers" observed most of the ancient Babylonian system plus Jewish theology and Greek philosophy. They all perverted most of the teachings of Christ and His apostles. They paved the way for the Roman Catholic machine that was to come into existence. Piously, they attacked, perverted, added to and took away from the Bible. This religious antichrist spirit working through them is seen again when Ignatius de Loyola created the Jesuits to secretly accomplish two major goals for the Roman Catholic Institution: 1) universal political power, and 2) a universal church, in fulfillment of the prophecies of Revelation 6, 13, 17 and 18.
By the time Ignatius de Loyola arrived on the scene, the Protestant Reformation had seriously damaged the Roman Catholic system. Ignatius de Loyola came to the conclusion that the only way his "church" could survive was by enforcing the canons and doctrines on the temporal power of the pope and the Roman Catholic institution; not by just destroying the physical life of the people alone as the Dominican priests were doing through the Inquisition, but by infiltration and penetration into every sector of life.
Protestantism must be conquered and used for the benefit of the popes. That was Ignatius de Loyola's personal proposal, among others, to Pope Paul III. Jesuits immediately went to work secretly infiltrating ALL the Protestant groups including their families, places of work, hospitals, schools, colleges, etc. Today, the Jesuits have almost completed that mission.
The Bible puts the power of a local church into the hands of a Godly pastor. But the cunning Jesuits successfully managed over the years to remove that power into the hands of denomination headquarters, and have now pushed almost all of the Protestant denominations into the arms of the Vatican. This is exactly what Ignatius de Loyola set out to accomplish: a universal church and the end of Protestantism.
As you read "The Secret History of the Jesuits," you will see there is a parallel between the religious and political sectors. The author, Mr. Paris, reveals the penetration and infiltration of the Jesuits into the governments and nations of the world to manipulate the course of history by setting up dictatorships, and weakening democracies such as the United States of America, by paving the way for social, political, moral, military, educational and religious anarchy."
This book is available in the links to the left, or you may click this title of this post to go directly to the book on-line. Dr. Alberto Rivera wrote this introduction, and authored the series just previously posted for Chick Comics. These guys know their subject matter, and Dr. Rivera was assassinated for his dissemination of the truth. A price he expected to pay, but knew the truth was worth the risk. If you haven't yet read Charles Chiniquys "Fifty Years in the Church of Rome", it too is available in the links to the left, and is extremely important to read. It reveals that the Roman Catholic Church was behind the assassination of president Abraham Lincoln.

Chick Comics
By clicking on the link, you will be taken to Jack Chicks comic site, where you may read his comics "The Prophet" book six in the "Alberto" series, the original story of "Alberto" and also "The Godfathers". These should be required reading as Christian primer texts, but they are ignored by many who think that since they are comics, they have no validity. These are presented in comic book format, but the message is very grown up indeed. They've been around for a long time, but you don't see them around as much any more. Hope you go read them if you haven't yet. Shucks, I hope you re-read them if you already are familiar with them.

IS OBAMA ELIGIBLE TO THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT?
By Lynn Stuter
November 25, 2008
NewsWithViews.com
Lawsuits were filed in several states prior to November 4, 2008, challenging the right of Barack Hussein Obama to be on the ballots of the various states where the lawsuits were filed. Those lawsuits were, for the most part, dismissed by the courts of the respective states.
However, two lawsuits still exist before the United States Supreme Court: Berg vs Obama, et al and Donofrio vs Wells. [4](end notes at original site)
Meanwhile, the enterprising hosts of the Mike in the Morning show out of Detroit, Michigan called the Kenyan Embassy in Washington, DC and spoke with the Kenyan Ambassador to the United States, Peter Ogego. Ambassador Ogego had some most interesting things to say to the WRIF hosts. That conversation was recorded and can be listened to here. The bottom line, however, is that Kenyan Ambassador Ogego confirmed that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya as claimed by Obama’s paternal grandmother who states he was born in Mombasa, Kenya; that she was present at his birth.

National News - Obama adds econ advisers, says 'help on the way'
It's now official- Obama's choice for Economic Council leadership mightily stuffs the USA into the zipped pocket of the World Bank with no way to fix the true problem. The Council of Foreign Relations have dominated US policy for the past 60 years, and now have usurped the constitution completely. Get ready for the worst years of financial oppression you will probably ever witness. And just wait...he is about to spring his National Security team upon us! Good thing the gulogs are already built!

According to financial experts, the world, as we know it will change dramatically by the year 2012. People, who provided for their families only three years ago, will be desperately searching for food.

The Rapture - You NEED To See This-from youtube
From blackmovieguy
A video I put together about the last approaching days and the scriptures prophecying what will take place.
There are clips not meant to be taken literal. Such as the clip of someone jumping off the WTC buildings following the scripture about those desiring to kill themselves but will not be able to, and. That was used for image purposes. To have a visual aid sorta but by no means did I mean for that to be an example of the scripture itself. It was just to show what it will be like when those times come.
But yah. Please enjoy. Comment all you want.
Tell me how much you love it.
Tell me how you'll be glad when God takes all the christian's out of the world. Tell me how I'm blindly believing in something that couldn't possibly be real. I accept all comments.
But just know, you can say whatever you want, but it still does not prevent the inevitable.
Your words can't make the truth, any less true.

With all eyes on Obama, Port of Los Angeles security under control of Chinese President’s son!

With all eyes on the Big O’s Office of the President-elect, very few know that the Port of Los Angeles--the nation’s largest--is now effectively under the control of the Peoples Republic of China.

Global Socialists Toast Victory over America
Cliff Kincaid Monday, November 17, 2008
On his CNN Reliable Sources show, Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post asked his colleague Steven Pearlstein, “Wasn’t there a prevailing drumbeat that this package had to pass?” The reply: “I was, I guess, part of that drumbeat. It did have to pass.” Pearlstein added, “You know, the Congress and the government had to do something to get liquidity moving in the financial system. There’s no playbook for how to do this in a situation like this. People are making it up as they go along. And so we really shouldn’t be surprised that they tried something, it doesn’t work. They try something else, maybe it works. They’re throwing a lot of darts at the wall.”
But since it didn’t work and Paulson changed the plan, Kurtz asked, “Where is the journalistic outrage here?” It’s a good question. The only outrage I can find is coming from the taxpayers.
For his part, Pearlstein’s new column, “Toward a New International Capitalism,” includes no apologies over his central role in what has happened. Instead, he hails the arrival of a new era in which America “can no longer expect to dominate the institutions of international finance and will have to share power and influence with rapidly developing countries…”
In other words, America has been cut down to size and the beneficiaries are those who were always jealous of her wealth and power. The result will not only be less U.S economic power but the diminution of American military power. One will inevitably follow the other, especially if more U.S. manufacturing industries go bankrupt.
This isn’t “international capitalism.” It’s the victory of global socialism. The stage is perfectly set for the U.S. presidency to be occupied by a revolutionary Marxist.
“We are the world” is coming true.

Liberals clinically mad, concludes top psychiatrist
Posted: November 12, 20086:33 pm Eastern© 2008 WorldNetDailyWASHINGTON – Just when liberals thought it was safe to start identifying themselves as such, an acclaimed, veteran psychiatrist is making the case that the ideology motivating them is actually a mental disorder
.
"Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded," says Dr. Lyle Rossiter, author of the new book, "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness." "Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle
to grave."
While political activists on the other side of the spectrum have made similar observations, Rossiter boasts professional credentials and a life virtually free of activism and links to "the vast right-wing conspiracy."

World leaders agree on more financial regulation (3rd Roundup)
World leaders agree on more financial regulation (3rd Roundup): "'We are entering a new world,' said French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is credited with initiating the summit. France also holds the European Union's sixth-month rotating presidency.
Sarkozy told reporters following the summit that many of the concessions made by the US would have been unthinkable just a short time ago.
Moreover, the summit also represents a big win for emerging nations who have been pressing for a bigger role in the world's key economic forums.
This was especially important, since as the advanced economies sink into recession next year, powerhouse emerging economies in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America are likely to be the key pillars of economic growth."

The Godhead
Additional scriptures:
John8:
12. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13. The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14. Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17. It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
John 14: 1. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9. Jesus saith unto him, have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
10. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15. If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
(Jesus here identifies himself as the Holy Ghost; otherwise known as the Spirit of Christ)
Titus 1: 4. To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior. ( how many saviors are there?)
There are many more scriptures I will add later...or add more in the comments yourself!

Over Seas Visitors
Welcome, to all of you who are from all over the world outside the United States, especially the repeat visitors! I am guessing that since you come back you are not just offended, looking for an argument. I am also guessing you are a little shy? You never leave a comment. Oh well, neither do those from stateside. Oh, I recently deleted one who cursed me, but that was the only negative comment I have received. Some e-mail me directly, which you can do by going to my profile, where you will find an e-mail link.
If you really appreciate what you find here, and there is much to find, please e-mail a link or page to your friends! If you have a question outside of what you find here, feel free to ask. I am not a novice. I have been ordained by the Apostolic World Christian Fellowship (which I have not kept current, but was never in bad standing.) I had a small church, ministered in several, and have been a bible teacher for decades! That is not to say I have all the answers, but I love looking them up.
The main thing I would say to you is, listen to people you think you may disagree with. They may be right. Give them the opportunity to present their case. Trust ONLY the Bible and the God of the Bible. Obey Acts 2:38! If those whom council you argue against the Bible, don't even hear them. But if they are Bible based, and stay pretty much only in the Bible, listen to them.
And start leaving comments.

The Real Obama according to his masters
By Judi McLeod
Well it didn’t take long. Less than one week after the U.S. election, here comes One World Government right on cue.
Exit stage left. Make that for the entire world, not just the elusive unproven rookie who will transform the United States of America from a democracy into Socialism.
The international financial crisis has given world leaders a unique opportunity to create a truly global economy, Britain’s Prime Minister Gordon Grown will say in a keynote foreign policy speech on Monday.
“In his annual speech at the Lord Mayor’s Banquet, Brown—who has spearheaded calls for the reform of international financial institutions—will say Britain, the United States and Europe are key to forging a new world order.” (Reuters, Nov. 9, 2008)

Why I Can't Vote for Obama- by Huntley Brown
By: Huntley BrownThis article is from Huntley Brown - a fabulous concert pianist, a man of God, and a black man. It's good stuff! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Why I Can't Vote For Obama

Dear Friends, A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I sent out an email with a few points. With the election just around the corner I decided to complete my perspective. Those of you on my e-list have seen some of this before but it's worth repeating.
First I must say whoever wins the election will have my prayer support. Obama needs to be commended for his accomplishments but I need to explain why I will not be voting for him.
Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness. I process my identity through Christ. Being a Christian (a Christ follower) means He leads I follow. I can't dictate the terms He does because He is the leader.
I can't vote black because I am black. I have to vote Christian because that's who I am. Christian first and black second. Neither should anyone from the other ethnic groups vote because of ethnicity. 200 years from now I won't be asked if I was black or white. I will be asked if I knew Jesus and accepted Him as Lord and Savior.
In an election there are many issues to consider but when a society gets abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, human cloning to name a few, wrong economic concerns will soon not matter.
We need to follow Martin Luther King's words, don't judge someone by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I don't know Obama so all I can go off is his voting record. His voting record earned him the title of the most liberal senator in the US Senate in 2007.
NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2007 (01/31/2008) To beat Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton as the most liberal senator, takes some doing. Obama accomplished this feat in 2 short years. I wonder what would happen to America if he had four years to work with.
There is a reason Planned Parenthood gives him a 100 % rating. There is a reason the homosexual community supports him. There is a reason Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, Hamas etc. love him. There is a reason he said he would nominate liberal judges to the Supreme Court. There is a reason he voted against the infanticide bill. There is a reason he voted No on the constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. There is a reason he voted No on banning partial birth abortion.. There is a reason he voted No on confirming Justices Roberts and Alito. These two judges are conservatives and they have since overturned partial birth abortion. The same practice Obama wanted to continue.
Let's take a look at the practice he wanted to continue The 5 Step Partial Birth Abortion procedures: A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with forceps.(Remember this is a live baby) B. The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal.C. The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head.D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse.. The dead baby is then removed.God help him. There is a reason Obama opposed the parental notification law.Think about this: You can't give a kid an aspirin without parental notification but that same kid can have an abortion without parental notification. This is insane.
There is a reason he went to Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years.Obama tells us he has good judgment but he sat under Jeremiah Wright teaching for 20 years. Now he is condemning Wright's sermons.. I wonder why now? Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled him. A disciple is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew 28:19 - 20 'Go and make disciples of all nations.' This means reproduce yourself. Teach people to think like you, walk like you; talk like you believe what you believe etc.The question I have is what did Jeremiah Wright teach him? Would you support a White President who went to a church which has tenets that said they have a ...
1. Commitment to the White Community
2. Commitment to the White Family
3. Adherence to the White Work Ethic
4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the White Community
5. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions
6. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the White Value System
7. Personal commitment to embracement of the White Value System.
Would you support a President who went to a church like that? Just change the word from white to black and you have the tenets of Obama's former church. If President Bush was a member of a church like this, he would be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would have been marching outside.
This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 20 years and just discovered he went to a racist church. The church can't be about race. Jesus did not come for any particular race. He came for the whole world.A church can't have a value system based on race. The churches value system has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if it's a white church or a black church it's still wrong. Anyone from either race that attends a church like this would never get my vote.
Obama's former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal theologian James Cone, author of the 1970 book A Black Theology of Liberation. Cone once wrote: 'Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.. Cone is the man Obama's mentor looks up to.
Does Obama believe this? So what does all this mean for the nation? In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead a nation it meant one thing - judgment.
Read 1 Samuel 8 when Israel asked for a king. First God says in 1 Samuel 1:9 'Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do. Then God says 1 Samuel 1:18 ' When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day.' 19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. 'No!' they said. 'We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.' 21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22 The LORD answered, 'Listen to them and give them a king.
Here is what we know for sure.God is not schizophrenic He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and one to vote for McCain. As the scripture says, a city divided against itself cannot stand, so obviously many people are not hearing from God.
Maybe I am the one not hearing but I know God does not change and Obama contradicts many things I read in scripture so I doubt it.
For all my friends who are voting for Obama can you really look God in the face and say; Father based on your word, I am voting for Obama even though I know he will continue the genocidal practice of partial birth abortion. He might have to nominate three or four Supreme Court justices, and I am sure he will be nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are against you. I also know he will continue to push for homosexual rights, even though you destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this. I know I can look the other way because of the economy.
I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama's positions. Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends.Since we know someone's value system has to be placed on the nation, 1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation.2. Who should determine that this is the right value system for the nation? Blessings,

Is the Vatican Strictly a "Religious Organization?"
This is from "Tough Issues.org" click the link for the site-there is much more to be found at their site.
By Darryl Eberhart, Editor of “Tackling the Tough Topics”
June 20, 2006 (Updated through: April 19, 2007)
The answer to that question is quite simple, and it is an unequivocal “NO!” While none of us (who are rational) would deny that there is a Roman Catholic “Church” – a “religious” organization and system that has over one BILLION adherents, we also must recognize that there is a historically documented GEOPOLITICAL entity known as the “Vatican State”, or “Vatican City”. According to Webster’s New World Dictionary, Second College Edition, “Vatican City” is an “independent papal state constituted in 1929 as an enclave in Rome…” The Vatican State (or “City”) has diplomatic relations with most of the nations of the world!
The Papacy, which has long sat atop the authoritative, hierarchical religious system known as the Roman Catholic Church, has a well-documented geopolitical history of ruling for many centuries over the monarchs of Europe. In fact, the Papacy [i.e., Papal Rome] in essence was, and still is, the “ghost” that arose out of the “ashes” of the Imperial Pagan Roman Empire.
For the last four centuries plus, Papal Rome’s Jesuit Order has been one of the most powerful organizations on the GEOPOLITICAL scene. Boyd Barrett, an ex-Jesuit, tells us:
“The Jesuit Order at last reached the pinnacle of its power and prestige in the early eighteenth century [i.e., the early 1700s]. It had become more influential and more wealthy than any other organization in the world. It held a position in world affairs that no oath-bound group of men has ever held before or since… ‘Nearly all the Kings and Sovereigns of Europe had only Jesuits as directors of their consciences [i.e., as confessor-priests], so that the whole of Europe appeared to be governed by Jesuits only.’” (1927; using a short quote by Jesuit Cordara)
J. Wayne Laurens, American historian and author of the book The Crisis: Or, the Enemies of America Unmasked, lets us know about the political side of the Vatican and the Jesuit Order – and how they USE “religion” as a “mask” for advancing their political agenda:
“But we recognize in the Roman Catholic priesthood, and the Jesuit brotherhood, two distinct political organizations, united in purpose and using religion as a mask for political purpose, as they always have done in all ages and countries.”
Author Avro Manhattan, in his book Murder in the Vatican (1985), lets us know that the Vatican is a very powerful GEOPOLITICAL “creature”:
“The Vatican is a superpower – on a par with the USA and Soviet Russia. Indeed, since at times it can act as a formulator of the policies of both, it can be reckoned as the paramount superpower of our times.
Its adherents, a massive portion of mankind, nearing a billion [Ed. Note: it’s now over a billion], can be made to operate in every corner of the world. [There are] sixty million [Roman Catholics] within the USA herself. [Ed. Note: Counting illegal aliens, it’s a lot more than that!]
…Therefore the Vatican is a superpower in its own right. Indeed, because of its duality as a political and as a religious center, it can outbid the other two [superpowers].” (Page 5)
The following quote by Hector Macpherson, author of the book The Jesuits in History, lets us know how terrible it was for mankind when the Roman Catholic Church moved into the geopolitical arena (i.e., the “civil sphere”):
“Had the Roman Catholic Church remained a purely religious organization like any other sect, the world would have been spared centuries of evil [Ed. Note: such as Papal Rome’s “holy” Inquisition, “holy” crusades, “holy” wars, and religious genocide]. But in the course of its development the Romish Church, through its Popes, entered the civil sphere and aspired to universal monarchy.
In the fatal year 800, when Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Romans by [Pope] Leo III, there was set upon Western Europe the Papacy, a colossal system whose object is despotic rule of man and society in all spheres, sacred and secular. The Papacy claimed not only to possess the ‘Keys of Heaven’, but also to rule the earth. The pope came to be regarded as the sole representative of Deity on earth, and from him must the empire be held.
…In its egotistical blindness, and intoxicated with the fumes of sacerdotal conceit, the Papacy set itself in opposition to the spirit of nationality, which in the Middle Ages was beginning to create order out of the disorders caused by the fall of the Roman Empire. Foiled in its endeavors to reign unchecked over rising nationalities the Papacy attempted to rule through monarchs devoted to the [Roman Catholic] Church.” (Pages 108, 109)
The Jesuit Order (one of the main political arms of Papal Rome) not only controls its Jesuit “soldiers”, but also the Papacy itself, the powerful and wealthy Knights of Malta, higher-level Knights of Columbus, and the highest levels of Freemasonry. The Jesuits, “masters of politics”, have quite a “track record” of infiltrating and subverting governments. Canadian historian J.E.C. Shepherd tells us the following about expulsions of the Jesuits (due to their political intrigues) in his book The Babington Plot: Jesuit Intrigue in Elizabethan England (1987):
“Between 1555 and 1931 the Society of Jesus [i.e., the Jesuit Order] was expelled from at least 83 countries, city-states and cities, for engaging in political intrigue and subversive plots against the welfare of the State, according to the records of a Jesuit priest of repute [i.e., Thomas J. Campbell]. …Practically every instance of expulsion was for political intrigue, political infiltration, political subversion, and inciting to political insurrection.” (1987; Page 12)
Do the Jesuits have a lot of POLITICAL power in the USA? Here’s what Jeremiah J. Crowley (Irishman; ex-priest in the Roman Catholic Church; author of the book Romanism: Menace to the Nation) tells us concerning the Jesuit Order:
“Today they [i.e., the Jesuits] are stronger in the United States than they ever were in any of the countries of Europe which expelled them as a menace to the government.” (1912)
M.F. Cusack (Ex-nun of Kenmore; author of The Black Pope; 1896) tells us about Papal and Jesuit “politics” in the following two quotes from her book:
“…The Jesuits are the only religious order in the Church of Rome…which has lain under the ban of the [“White”] Pope, or which has been expelled from any country because of its interference in politics. Hence we may expect to find that to obtain political power forms a main feature in the plans of the Society [of Jesus – i.e., the Jesuit Order].” (The Black Pope; 1896)
“The fact is that very few Protestants [Ed. Note: or other Christians] have realized how entirely Rome is a political church, and that she always makes her political advancement her first object.” (The Black Pope; 1896)
The American [Roman] Catholic hierarchy and the Jesuit Order are very active POLITICALLY in the United States of America. Author and journalist Paul Blanchard tells us the following about Roman Catholic POLITICAL power in the USA in his book American Freedom and Catholic Power (1949):
“There is no doubt that the American [Roman] Catholic hierarchy has entered the political arena, and that it is becoming more and more aggressive in extending the frontiers of [Roman] Catholic authority into the fields of medicine, education, and foreign policy… As we shall see in this book [Ed. Note: American Freedom and Catholic Power], the [Roman] Catholic hierarchy in this country [i.e., the USA] has great power as a pressure group, and no editor, politician, publisher, merchant or motion-picture producer can express defiance openly – or publicize documented facts – without risking his future.” (1949)
F. Tupper Saussy, author of the book Rulers of Evil: Useful Knowledge About Governing Bodies (1999), tells us the following about Roman Catholic POLITICAL power in modern America:
“What [Professor Carol A.] Brown [of the University of Massachusetts] had learned from Carl Bernstein, I [i.e., author F. Tupper Saussy] had discovered for myself over several years of private investigation: the papacy really does run United States foreign policy… Yes, [Carl] Bernstein noted that the leading American players behind the Reagan/Vatican conspiracy, to a man, were ‘devout Roman Catholics’ – namely,
William Casey – Director, CIA [Ed. Note: And a papal Knight of Malta];
Richard Allen – National Security Advisor;
Judge William Clark – National Security Advisor;
Alexander Haig – Secretary of State [Ed. Note: And a papal Knight of Malta];
Vernon Walters – Ambassador-at-Large; and,
William Wilson – Ambassador to the Vatican State.
But the reporter neglected to mention that the entire Senate Foreign Relations committee was governed by Roman Catholics as well. Specifically, Senators
· Joseph Biden – Subcommittee on European Affairs;
· Paul Sarbanes – International Economic Policy, Trade, Oceans, and Environment;
· Daniel P. Moynihan – Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs;
· John Kerry – Terrorism, Narcotics, and International Communications; and,
· Christopher Dodd – Western Hemisphere and Peace Corps Affairs.”
(Rulers of Evil; 1999; Pages 1, 2)
“In fact, when the ‘Holy Alliance’ story hit the stands [in 1992], there was virtually no arena of federal legislative activity, according to ‘The 1992 World Almanac of US Politics’, that was not directly controlled by a Roman Catholic senator or representative. The committees and subcommittees of the United States Senate and House of Representatives governing commerce, communications and telecommunications, energy, medicine, health, education and welfare, human services, consumer protection, finance and financial institutions, transportation, labor and unemployment, hazardous materials, taxation, bank regulation, currency and monetary policy, oversight of the Federal Reserve System, commodity prices, rents services, small business administration, urban affairs, European affairs, Near Eastern and South Asian affairs, terrorism / narcotics / international communications, international economic / trade / oceans / environmental policy, insurance, housing, community development, federal loan guarantees, economic stabilization measures (including wage and price controls), gold and precious metals transactions, agriculture, animal and forestry industries, rural issues, nutrition, price supports, Food for Peace, agricultural exports, soil conservation, irrigation, stream channelization, flood control, minority enterprise, environment and pollution, appropriations, defense, foreign operations, vaccines, drug labeling and packaging, drug and alcohol abuse, inspection and certification of fish and processed food, use of vitamins and saccharin, national health insurance proposals, human services, legal services, family relations, the arts and humanities, the handicapped, and aging – in other words, virtually every aspect of secular life in America – came under the chairmanship of one of these Roman Catholic laypersons:
Frank Annunzio
Edward Kennedy
Daniel Moynihan
Joseph Biden
John Kerry
John Murtha
Silvio Conte
John LaFalce
Mary Rose Oakar
Kika De la Garza
Patrick Leahy
David Obey
John Dingell
Charles Luken
Claiborne Pell
Christopher Dodd
Edward Madigan
Charles Rangel
Vic Fazio
Edward Markey
Dan Rostenkowski
James Florio
Joseph McDade
Edward Roybal
Henry Gonzalez
Barbara Mikulski
Thomas Harkin
George Miller
Vatican Council II’s ‘Constitution on the Church’ (1964) instructs [Roman Catholic] politicians to use their secular offices to advance the cause of Roman Catholicism.” (Rulers of Evil; 1999; Pages 2, 3)
“An updating of this list will not reflect a significant change in the presence of Roman Catholic laypersons in the higher legislative reaches. According to the ‘Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities’, in the 106th Congress there are 40 ‘Jesuit alumni’ who graduated from 17 Jesuit institutions [of higher learning]. There are 5 alumni in the U.S. Senate and 35 alumni in the House of Representatives. Out of these 40 alumni, 23 received graduate or professional degrees from Jesuit universities. [Jesuit] Georgetown University has the most graduates, boasting 15 alumni in the U.S. Congress.” (Rulers of Evil; 1999; Page 303)
Of course, we also have a FINANCIAL entity known as the “Vatican Bank”. The Vatican is into international banking and finance “big time”. Avro Manhattan, in his book The Vatican Billions (Chick Publications, 1983), tells us (in the following six quotations) about the enormous wealth of Papal Rome:
“The Vatican has large investments with the Rothschilds of Britain, France and America, with the Hambros Bank, [and] with the Credit Suisse in London and Zurich. In the United States it has large investments with the Morgan Bank, the Chase-Manhattan Bank, the First National Bank of New York, the Bankers Trust Company, and others. The Vatican has billions in shares in the most powerful international corporations such as Gulf Oil, Shell, General Motors, Bethlehem Steel, General Electric, International Business Machines [IBM], T.W.A., etc. At a conservative estimate, these amount to more than 500 million dollars in the USA alone.” (The Vatican Billions; 1983)
“In a statement published in connection with a bond prospectus, the Boston archdiocese [of the Roman Catholic Church] listed its assets at Six Hundred and Thirty-five Million ($635,891,004), which is 9.9 times its liabilities. This leaves a net worth of Five Hundred and Seventy-one Million dollars ($571,704,953). It is not difficult to discover the truly astonishing wealth of the [Roman Catholic] Church, once we add the riches of the twenty-eight archdioceses and 122 dioceses of the USA, some of which are even wealthier than that of Boston.” (The Vatican Billions; 1983)
“Some idea of the real estate and other forms of wealth controlled by the [Roman] Catholic Church may be gathered by the remark of a member of the New York Catholic Conference, namely ‘that his church probably ranks second only to the United States government in total annual purchase.’ Another statement, made by a nationally syndicated [Roman] Catholic priest, perhaps is even more telling. ‘The Catholic Church’, he said, ‘must be the biggest corporation in the United States. We have a branch office in every neighborhood. Our assets and real estate holdings must exceed those of Standard Oil, A.T.&T., and U.S. Steel combined. And our roster of dues-paying members must be second only to the tax rolls of the United States government.’” (The Vatican Billions; 1983)
“The [Roman] Catholic Church, once all her assets have been put together, is the most formidable stockbroker in the world. …The Wall Street Journal said that the Vatican’s financial deals in the U.S. alone were so big that very often it sold or bought gold in lots of a million or more dollars at one time.” (The Vatican Billions; 1983)
“The Vatican’s treasure of solid gold has been estimated by the United Nations World Magazine to amount to several billion dollars. …But this is just a small portion of the wealth of the Vatican, which in the U.S. alone is greater than that of the five wealthiest giant corporations of the country. When to that is added all the real estate, property, stocks and shares abroad, then the staggering accumulation of the wealth of the [Roman] Catholic Church becomes so formidable as to defy any rational assessment.” (The Vatican Billions; 1983)
“The [Roman] Catholic Church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence. She is a greater possessor of material riches than any other single institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole globe.” (The Vatican Billions; 1983)
Michael de Semlyen, author of the book All Roads Lead to Rome?: The Ecumenical Movement, tells us the following about Vatican banking scandals:
“Vatican scandals involving large-scale fraud and corruption and complicity in a cover-up have simply been shrugged off. Archbishop Marcinkus [Ed. Note: then-head of the Vatican Bank and at that time a bishop], who was at the center of it all, was protected by the Pope [i.e., John Paul II] for more than seven years – and the Italian state authorities [were] somehow rendered helpless…
Roman Catholic Oxford Professor of Logic, Michael Dummett, accused the Pope [i.e., John Paul II] of complicity in a cover-up to protect [Archbishop] Marcinkus. ‘The Sunday Telegraph’ 15th March, 1987, reporting from the Catholic Weekly ‘The Tablet’, said that Professor Dummett spoke of ‘the Vatican Bank entangled with complicated practices from which the most pungent stink of corruption arises. These practices involved other banks, the Mafia, and the seamiest type of Freemasonry, culminating in what was possibly the bizarre suicide, but more probably the grotesque murder of an Italian banker in London.’
…The Milan [Court] verdict has brought blunt accusations of complicity in Calvi’s murder leveled at [Archbishop] Marcinkus by Calvi’s widow, who claims that her husband had told her shortly before his death: ‘The priests want me dead’. Marcinkus resigned as head of the Vatican Bank, but [he] remained under the pope’s [i.e., John Paul II’s] protection and enjoyed Vatican immunity. Attempts by the Italian authorities to put him on trial with the others accused of fraud were brushed aside by the Vatican; the Pope simply refused to hand him over.” (All Roads Lead to Rome?; 1993; Pages 71, 72)
There is a lot of evidence proving that the Vatican is THE wealthiest organization on planet Earth! And, a lot of Vatican money is used for controlling and manipulating politicians and governments in many parts of the world in order to advance the Jesuit-controlled Vatican’s New World Order agenda of a one-world government and a one-world religion to be ruled despotically from “behind the scenes” by the Jesuit Superior General – the “Black Pope”!
By Darryl Eberhart, Editor of “Tackling the Tough Topics”
June 20, 2006 (Updated through: April 19, 2007)
The answer to that question is quite simple, and it is an unequivocal “NO!” While none of us (who are rational) would deny that there is a Roman Catholic “Church” – a “religious” organization and system that has over one BILLION adherents, we also must recognize that there is a historically documented GEOPOLITICAL entity known as the “Vatican State”, or “Vatican City”. According to Webster’s New World Dictionary, Second College Edition, “Vatican City” is an “independent papal state constituted in 1929 as an enclave in Rome…” The Vatican State (or “City”) has diplomatic relations with most of the nations of the world!
The Papacy, which has long sat atop the authoritative, hierarchical religious system known as the Roman Catholic Church, has a well-documented geopolitical history of ruling for many centuries over the monarchs of Europe. In fact, the Papacy [i.e., Papal Rome] in essence was, and still is, the “ghost” that arose out of the “ashes” of the Imperial Pagan Roman Empire.
For the last four centuries plus, Papal Rome’s Jesuit Order has been one of the most powerful organizations on the GEOPOLITICAL scene. Boyd Barrett, an ex-Jesuit, tells us:
“The Jesuit Order at last reached the pinnacle of its power and prestige in the early eighteenth century [i.e., the early 1700s]. It had become more influential and more wealthy than any other organization in the world. It held a position in world affairs that no oath-bound group of men has ever held before or since… ‘Nearly all the Kings and Sovereigns of Europe had only Jesuits as directors of their consciences [i.e., as confessor-priests], so that the whole of Europe appeared to be governed by Jesuits only.’” (1927; using a short quote by Jesuit Cordara)
J. Wayne Laurens, American historian and author of the book The Crisis: Or, the Enemies of America Unmasked, lets us know about the political side of the Vatican and the Jesuit Order – and how they USE “religion” as a “mask” for advancing their political agenda:
“But we recognize in the Roman Catholic priesthood, and the Jesuit brotherhood, two distinct political organizations, united in purpose and using religion as a mask for political purpose, as they always have done in all ages and countries.”
Author Avro Manhattan, in his book Murder in the Vatican (1985), lets us know that the Vatican is a very powerful GEOPOLITICAL “creature”:
“The Vatican is a superpower – on a par with the USA and Soviet Russia. Indeed, since at times it can act as a formulator of the policies of both, it can be reckoned as the paramount superpower of our times.
Its adherents, a massive portion of mankind, nearing a billion [Ed. Note: it’s now over a billion], can be made to operate in every corner of the world. [There are] sixty million [Roman Catholics] within the USA herself. [Ed. Note: Counting illegal aliens, it’s a lot more than that!]
…Therefore the Vatican is a superpower in its own right. Indeed, because of its duality as a political and as a religious center, it can outbid the other two [superpowers].” (Page 5)
The following quote by Hector Macpherson, author of the book The Jesuits in History, lets us know how terrible it was for mankind when the Roman Catholic Church moved into the geopolitical arena (i.e., the “civil sphere”):
“Had the Roman Catholic Church remained a purely religious organization like any other sect, the world would have been spared centuries of evil [Ed. Note: such as Papal Rome’s “holy” Inquisition, “holy” crusades, “holy” wars, and religious genocide]. But in the course of its development the Romish Church, through its Popes, entered the civil sphere and aspired to universal monarchy.
In the fatal year 800, when Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Romans by [Pope] Leo III, there was set upon Western Europe the Papacy, a colossal system whose object is despotic rule of man and society in all spheres, sacred and secular. The Papacy claimed not only to possess the ‘Keys of Heaven’, but also to rule the earth. The pope came to be regarded as the sole representative of Deity on earth, and from him must the empire be held.
…In its egotistical blindness, and intoxicated with the fumes of sacerdotal conceit, the Papacy set itself in opposition to the spirit of nationality, which in the Middle Ages was beginning to create order out of the disorders caused by the fall of the Roman Empire. Foiled in its endeavors to reign unchecked over rising nationalities the Papacy attempted to rule through monarchs devoted to the [Roman Catholic] Church.” (Pages 108, 109)
The Jesuit Order (one of the main political arms of Papal Rome) not only controls its Jesuit “soldiers”, but also the Papacy itself, the powerful and wealthy Knights of Malta, higher-level Knights of Columbus, and the highest levels of Freemasonry. The Jesuits, “masters of politics”, have quite a “track record” of infiltrating and subverting governments. Canadian historian J.E.C. Shepherd tells us the following about expulsions of the Jesuits (due to their political intrigues) in his book The Babington Plot: Jesuit Intrigue in Elizabethan England (1987):
“Between 1555 and 1931 the Society of Jesus [i.e., the Jesuit Order] was expelled from at least 83 countries, city-states and cities, for engaging in political intrigue and subversive plots against the welfare of the State, according to the records of a Jesuit priest of repute [i.e., Thomas J. Campbell]. …Practically every instance of expulsion was for political intrigue, political infiltration, political subversion, and inciting to political insurrection.” (1987; Page 12)
Do the Jesuits have a lot of POLITICAL power in the USA? Here’s what Jeremiah J. Crowley (Irishman; ex-priest in the Roman Catholic Church; author of the book Romanism: Menace to the Nation) tells us concerning the Jesuit Order:
“Today they [i.e., the Jesuits] are stronger in the United States than they ever were in any of the countries of Europe which expelled them as a menace to the government.” (1912)
M.F. Cusack (Ex-nun of Kenmore; author of The Black Pope; 1896) tells us about Papal and Jesuit “politics” in the following two quotes from her book:
“…The Jesuits are the only religious order in the Church of Rome…which has lain under the ban of the [“White”] Pope, or which has been expelled from any country because of its interference in politics. Hence we may expect to find that to obtain political power forms a main feature in the plans of the Society [of Jesus – i.e., the Jesuit Order].” (The Black Pope; 1896)
“The fact is that very few Protestants [Ed. Note: or other Christians] have realized how entirely Rome is a political church, and that she always makes her political advancement her first object.” (The Black Pope; 1896)
The American [Roman] Catholic hierarchy and the Jesuit Order are very active POLITICALLY in the United States of America. Author and journalist Paul Blanchard tells us the following about Roman Catholic POLITICAL power in the USA in his book American Freedom and Catholic Power (1949):
“There is no doubt that the American [Roman] Catholic hierarchy has entered the political arena, and that it is becoming more and more aggressive in extending the frontiers of [Roman] Catholic authority into the fields of medicine, education, and foreign policy… As we shall see in this book [Ed. Note: American Freedom and Catholic Power], the [Roman] Catholic hierarchy in this country [i.e., the USA] has great power as a pressure group, and no editor, politician, publisher, merchant or motion-picture producer can express defiance openly – or publicize documented facts – without risking his future.” (1949)
F. Tupper Saussy, author of the book Rulers of Evil: Useful Knowledge About Governing Bodies (1999), tells us the following about Roman Catholic POLITICAL power in modern America:
“What [Professor Carol A.] Brown [of the University of Massachusetts] had learned from Carl Bernstein, I [i.e., author F. Tupper Saussy] had discovered for myself over several years of private investigation: the papacy really does run United States foreign policy… Yes, [Carl] Bernstein noted that the leading American players behind the Reagan/Vatican conspiracy, to a man, were ‘devout Roman Catholics’ – namely,
William Casey – Director, CIA [Ed. Note: And a papal Knight of Malta];
Richard Allen – National Security Advisor;
Judge William Clark – National Security Advisor;
Alexander Haig – Secretary of State [Ed. Note: And a papal Knight of Malta];
Vernon Walters – Ambassador-at-Large; and,
William Wilson – Ambassador to the Vatican State.
But the reporter neglected to mention that the entire Senate Foreign Relations committee was governed by Roman Catholics as well. Specifically, Senators
· Joseph Biden – Subcommittee on European Affairs;
· Paul Sarbanes – International Economic Policy, Trade, Oceans, and Environment;
· Daniel P. Moynihan – Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs;
· John Kerry – Terrorism, Narcotics, and International Communications; and,
· Christopher Dodd – Western Hemisphere and Peace Corps Affairs.”
(Rulers of Evil; 1999; Pages 1, 2)
“In fact, when the ‘Holy Alliance’ story hit the stands [in 1992], there was virtually no arena of federal legislative activity, according to ‘The 1992 World Almanac of US Politics’, that was not directly controlled by a Roman Catholic senator or representative. The committees and subcommittees of the United States Senate and House of Representatives governing commerce, communications and telecommunications, energy, medicine, health, education and welfare, human services, consumer protection, finance and financial institutions, transportation, labor and unemployment, hazardous materials, taxation, bank regulation, currency and monetary policy, oversight of the Federal Reserve System, commodity prices, rents services, small business administration, urban affairs, European affairs, Near Eastern and South Asian affairs, terrorism / narcotics / international communications, international economic / trade / oceans / environmental policy, insurance, housing, community development, federal loan guarantees, economic stabilization measures (including wage and price controls), gold and precious metals transactions, agriculture, animal and forestry industries, rural issues, nutrition, price supports, Food for Peace, agricultural exports, soil conservation, irrigation, stream channelization, flood control, minority enterprise, environment and pollution, appropriations, defense, foreign operations, vaccines, drug labeling and packaging, drug and alcohol abuse, inspection and certification of fish and processed food, use of vitamins and saccharin, national health insurance proposals, human services, legal services, family relations, the arts and humanities, the handicapped, and aging – in other words, virtually every aspect of secular life in America – came under the chairmanship of one of these Roman Catholic laypersons:
Frank Annunzio
Edward Kennedy
Daniel Moynihan
Joseph Biden
John Kerry
John Murtha
Silvio Conte
John LaFalce
Mary Rose Oakar
Kika De la Garza
Patrick Leahy
David Obey
John Dingell
Charles Luken
Claiborne Pell
Christopher Dodd
Edward Madigan
Charles Rangel
Vic Fazio
Edward Markey
Dan Rostenkowski
James Florio
Joseph McDade
Edward Roybal
Henry Gonzalez
Barbara Mikulski
Thomas Harkin
George Miller
Vatican Council II’s ‘Constitution on the Church’ (1964) instructs [Roman Catholic] politicians to use their secular offices to advance the cause of Roman Catholicism.” (Rulers of Evil; 1999; Pages 2, 3)
“An updating of this list will not reflect a significant change in the presence of Roman Catholic laypersons in the higher legislative reaches. According to the ‘Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities’, in the 106th Congress there are 40 ‘Jesuit alumni’ who graduated from 17 Jesuit institutions [of higher learning]. There are 5 alumni in the U.S. Senate and 35 alumni in the House of Representatives. Out of these 40 alumni, 23 received graduate or professional degrees from Jesuit universities. [Jesuit] Georgetown University has the most graduates, boasting 15 alumni in the U.S. Congress.” (Rulers of Evil; 1999; Page 303)
Of course, we also have a FINANCIAL entity known as the “Vatican Bank”. The Vatican is into international banking and finance “big time”. Avro Manhattan, in his book The Vatican Billions (Chick Publications, 1983), tells us (in the following six quotations) about the enormous wealth of Papal Rome:
“The Vatican has large investments with the Rothschilds of Britain, France and America, with the Hambros Bank, [and] with the Credit Suisse in London and Zurich. In the United States it has large investments with the Morgan Bank, the Chase-Manhattan Bank, the First National Bank of New York, the Bankers Trust Company, and others. The Vatican has billions in shares in the most powerful international corporations such as Gulf Oil, Shell, General Motors, Bethlehem Steel, General Electric, International Business Machines [IBM], T.W.A., etc. At a conservative estimate, these amount to more than 500 million dollars in the USA alone.” (The Vatican Billions; 1983)
“In a statement published in connection with a bond prospectus, the Boston archdiocese [of the Roman Catholic Church] listed its assets at Six Hundred and Thirty-five Million ($635,891,004), which is 9.9 times its liabilities. This leaves a net worth of Five Hundred and Seventy-one Million dollars ($571,704,953). It is not difficult to discover the truly astonishing wealth of the [Roman Catholic] Church, once we add the riches of the twenty-eight archdioceses and 122 dioceses of the USA, some of which are even wealthier than that of Boston.” (The Vatican Billions; 1983)
“Some idea of the real estate and other forms of wealth controlled by the [Roman] Catholic Church may be gathered by the remark of a member of the New York Catholic Conference, namely ‘that his church probably ranks second only to the United States government in total annual purchase.’ Another statement, made by a nationally syndicated [Roman] Catholic priest, perhaps is even more telling. ‘The Catholic Church’, he said, ‘must be the biggest corporation in the United States. We have a branch office in every neighborhood. Our assets and real estate holdings must exceed those of Standard Oil, A.T.&T., and U.S. Steel combined. And our roster of dues-paying members must be second only to the tax rolls of the United States government.’” (The Vatican Billions; 1983)
“The [Roman] Catholic Church, once all her assets have been put together, is the most formidable stockbroker in the world. …The Wall Street Journal said that the Vatican’s financial deals in the U.S. alone were so big that very often it sold or bought gold in lots of a million or more dollars at one time.” (The Vatican Billions; 1983)

When to that is added all the real estate, property, stocks and shares abroad, then the staggering accumulation of the wealth of the [Roman] Catholic Church becomes so formidable as to defy any rational assessment.” (The Vatican Billions; 1983)
“The [Roman] Catholic Church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence. She is a greater possessor of material riches than any other single institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole globe.” (The Vatican Billions; 1983)

U.S. Forces Nine Major Banks To Accept Partial Nationalization
The U.S. government is dramatically escalating its response to the financial crisis by planning to invest $250 billion in the country's banks, forcing nine of the largest to accept a Treasury stake in what amounts to a partial nationalization.
...
In pressing the bank executives to accept partial government ownership, Paulson's message was clear: Though officially the program was voluntary, the banks had little choice in the matter. In exchange for giving the Treasury minority stakes, the nine firms would jointly receive an investment worth $125 billion. The government would make another $125 billion available for the next 30 days to thousands of other banks and thrifts across the country.
Federal officials set conditions, telling the banks they could not raise their dividends without government permission and could not offer their executives new retirement packages, though the old packages would remain intact.

How Do You Keep Water Burning Cars Off the Market, to protect Big Oil?
http://iatp.org/node/23922"Failure to address the water problem will result in food scarcity. Water scarcity is no longer an environmental issue. It is a national and international security issue that can not be ignored."
That is the final line from the article by the "World Business Council for Sustainable Development"...the article being called "Another Inconvenient Truth-The Water Crisis" The link is broken.
This is from the "Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy":
Forum calls for global tax to save water

GENEVA -- Hundreds of activists appealed for a global tax on water
and the creation of a "world water parliament" to protect its
distribution, at the closing of the Alternative World Water Forum
Sunday.
The two-day forum's goal is to "promote the creation of a world
public service for water" through a series of concrete measures, said
Bastienne Joerchel of a Swiss charity group.
The forum proposed introducing a one-cent tax on water worldwide,
which would avoid having to use private funding for the distribution of
water.
A global water parliament -- expected to hold its first meeting in
Brussels next year -- would establish the rules to assure the equitable
distribution of the vital resource.
About 1,200 people from around the globe and 150 non-governmental
organizations participated in the forum that opened last Friday,
including the former Portuguese president Mario Soares, co-chairman of
the meeting held ahead of Tuesday's World Water Day.
The United Nations will launch Tuesday its global campaign called
"Water for life," which aims to cut by half the number of people
worldwide who do not have access to drinking water by 2015. (by population reduction?)
The forum also adopted an action plan for the recognition of water as
a human right, its use for the common good, and called for public
financing and democratic control of the resource.
Riccardo Petrella, a professor at Lugano University in Switzerland,
called for water to be excluded from the negotiations at the World Trade
Organization on the liberalization of services, and said the World Bank
should stop requiring the privatization of water as a condition for
granting loans. -- AFP
Rev. 6: 5. When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see.'' And I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.''
If you have read the Post from Wed. Sept.10, 2008 titled The Timing of the Rapture, Pre/Mid/Post-Trib?, you know I believe the Black horse with the rider holding the scales of commerce in his hands represents the "Money Men" who own everything in common, by capitalistic means, but want to plunge us into global socialism in order to exert MORE control over YOUR pocketbook.
Did the prospect of cars running on water scare them? What if they will be refused controlling interest? The world suspects that Big Oil has managed to squash other innovations to date, and the eyes of the world are watching Big Oil like never before... so what do you do? (if you aren't quite ready to launch your end game of totalitarian dictatorship under the Anti-Christ?) Limit personal and family water consumption legally! Yeah! That's the ticket! Make it illegal to even draw out too much from your OWN WELL! Rain barrells will probably be taxed out of existance!
Keep watching. This is going to catch a lot of folks completely off guard!

True Workings of God, and Counterfeits of Satan
This is from the book War on the Saints, by Jessie Penn-Lewis & Evan Roberts (leader of the Welsh revival in the early 1900's). Most of the work is from Jessie Penn-Lewis. This is only a snippet. To follow the pages referenced, click on the title to go directly to the book, on-line, if you aren't able to go direct by clicking on the page number. {-I do NOT endorse every conclusion, and doctrinal position of this author-, but it is instructive in many ways to all of us}
The True Workings of God, and Counterfeits of Satan.
"Knowledge and all discernment; so that ye may prove the things that differ, that ye may be sincere and void of offence. . . ." Phil. 1: 9,10, m.
True
1. The Baptism, or Fullness of the Spirit: An influx of the Spirit of God into the human spirit, which liberates the spirit from the soul (Heb. 4: 12), so as to become a pliable organ or channel for the outflow of the Spirit through the believer, manifested in witness to Christ and in aggressive prayer service against the powers of darkness.
It is a true baptizing into the Body of Christ, and oneness with all the members of the Body. Its special mark and result is known in power to witness for Christ, and in conviction of sin in others, and their turning to God.
The highest manifestation of the Fullness of the Spirit is co-existent with the use of the faculties and self-control.
There is but one reception of the Holy Spirit: with many succeeding experiences, developments, or new crises, resultant on fresh acts of faith, or apprehension of truth; various believers having varied degrees of the same Infilling of the Spirit, according to individual conditions. The enduement of power for service is often a definite experience in many lives. Pages 50, 291, 297.
2. The Presence of God: Known in and by the human spirit, through the Holy Spirit. When He fills the atmosphere of a room the spirit of the man is conscious of it, not his senses. The faculties of those present are alert and clear, and they retain freedom of action. The spirit is made tender (Psa. 34: 18), and the will pliable to the will of God. All the actions of a person moved by the true and pure Presence of God are in accord with the highest ideal of harmony and grace. Pages 104, 107.
3. God in and with man in the spirit: John 14: 23. The Father in heaven is realized to be a real Father (Gal. 4: 6), the Son a real Saviour, the Holy Spirit a real Person; manifested as One in the spirit of the believer, by the Holy Spirit: with resulting effects as in Rom. 8: 9-11. Pages 103, 130.
4. Christ manifested in the believer by His Spirit, so that He is known as a Living Person on the Throne in heaven, and the believer joined in spirit to Him there, with the result that Christ's life and nature is imparted to him, forming and building up in him a "new creation," (Gal. 1: 16; 4: 19. Col. 1: 27), the believer growing up into Him in all things.note 1 Pages 103, 107, 126, 127, 289.
5. Consciousness of God: Felt in the spirit, and not by the physical senses. Pages 107, 108.
6. The Holiness of God: when realized by the believer produces worship and godly awe, with a hatred of sin. On the ground of the Blood of Calvary God draws near to men, seeking their love, but His presence does not terrorize. Page 289.
7. Surrender to God: Of spirit, soul and body, is a simple yielding or committal to Him of the whole man, to do His will and be at His service. God asks the full co-operationnote 2 of the man in the intelligent use of all his faculties. Rom. 6: 13. Page 70.
8. Fellowship with the sufferings of Christ: The result of faithful witness for Him, and in such "suffering," the joy of the Spirit breaks forth in spirit. (Acts 5: 41). The fruit of true conformity to Christ's death in the "fellowship of His sufferings" is seen in life to others, and growth in tenderness of spirit, and Christ-likeness in character. 2 Cor. 4: 10-12. Page 89.
9. Trusting God: A true faith given of God in the spirit, having its origin in Him, without effort reckoning upon Him to fulfil His written Word. Co-existent with the full use of every faculty in intelligent action. "Faith" is a fruit of the Spirit and cannot be forced. Gal. 5: 22. 2 Cor. 4: 13. Page 275.
10. Reliance upon God: An attitude of the will, of trust and dependence upon God, taking Him at His word, and depending upon His character of faithfulness. Page 127.
11. Communion with God: Fellowship in the Spirit with Christ in the glory as one spirit with Him. The consciousness of this is in the spirit (John 4: 24) only, and not in "feelings" in the senses. See for conditions of true communion with God, 1 John 1: 5-7. Page 291.
12. Waiting on God: The spirit in restful co-operation with the Holy spirit, waiting God's time to act, and a waiting for Him to fulfil His promises. The true waiting upon God can be co-existent with the keenest activity of mind and service. Page 62-63.
13. Praying to God: Having access to the Holiest of all, on the ground of the Blood (Heb. 10: 19). Penetrating in spirit through the lower heavens to the Throne of Grace. Heb 4: 14-16. True "prayer" is not directed toward God as within the believer, but to a Father in heaven, in the Name of the Son, by the Holy Spirit. Page 126.
14. Asking God: An act of the will in simple faith, making a transaction with God in heaven, on the ground of His written Word. "Answers to prayer" from God are usually so unsensational and so unobtrusive that the petitioner often does not recognize the answer. Cf. pages 249, 276, 279.
15. God speaking: Through His Word, by His Spirit, in the spirit and conscience of the man, illuminating the mind to understand the will of the Lord. Page 136.
Counterfeit.
1. Counterfeit workings of evil spirits may accompany a true reception of the Fullness of the Holy Spirit, if the believer "lets go" his mind into "blankness," and yields his body up passively to supernatural power. As a "blank mind" and "passive body" is contrary to the condition for use required by the Holy Spirit, and is the primary condition necessary for evil spirits to work, the anomaly is found in the Holy Spirit responding to the law of faith, and filling the man's spirit, at the same time that evil supernatural powers respond to the law of passivity fulfilled in mind and body. They then can produce in the senses manifestations, which seem to be the outcome of the Holy Spirit's entry to the spirit.
The results of the counterfeit manifestations are varied, and wide in their ramifications, according to individual conditions. The abstract result is great "manifestations" with little real fruit; "possession" by evil spirits of the mind and body in varied degrees; a spirit of division from others, instead of unity, etc., etc. Pages 54, 97, 106, 107, 108.
2. The counterfeit of the Presence of God is mainly felt upon the body, and by the physical senses, in conscious "fire," "thrills," etc. The counterfeit of the "Presence" in the atmosphere is felt by the senses of the body, as "breath," "wind," etc., whilst the mind is passive or inactive. The person affected by this counterfeit "presence" will be moved almost automatically to actions he would not perform of his own will, and with all his faculties in operation. He may not even remember what he has done when under the "power" of this "presence," just as a sleep-walker knows nothing of his actions when in that state. The inaction of the mind can often be seen by the vacant look in the eyes. Pages 109, 112, 124, 128, 130.
3. Evil spirit's counterfeit, as the occasion serves them, each Person of the Trinity, and can thus obtain access, and become in and with a man in manifestations given to the senses, in which the real spirit-sense may have no part. Pages 52, 103, 104, 105, 108.
4. Christ apparently manifested inwardly as a "Person," to whom the soul prays, or with whom he holds communion, yet there is no real evidence of the expression of the Divine nature, or true growth of the Christ life, with a deepening fellowship with the Christ in heaven. On the contrary the Christ in heaven seems far away. The counterfeit centres and ends in an "experience" which keeps the person introverted or self-centred (spiritually). Page 107. Cf. pp. 289, 290, 291.
5. "Consciousness" of "God" in bodily sensations, which feed the "flesh" and overpower the true spirit-sense. Pages 106, 130.
6. Evil spirits counterfeit this by giving a terror of God, which drives men away from Him, or forces them into actions of slavish fear, apart from the use of the mind, and volition, in glad voluntary obedience to Him. Page 143.
7. Passive yielding of spirit, soul and body to supernatural power, to be moved automatically, in passive, blind obedience, apart from the use of volition or mind. Evil spirits desire "control" of a man, and his passive submission to them. Pages 68, 69.
8. "Suffering" caused by evil spirits is characterized by a fiendish acuteness, and is fruitless in result--the victim being hardened instead of mellowed by it. The demons can cause anguished suffering in spirit, soul or body. "Possession" manifested in abnormal suffering, may be the fruit of (unconscious) acceptance of sufferings caused by evil spirits, often under the name of the "will of God." Pages 88, 89, 90.
9. "Trusting evil spirits" comes about through trusting blindly some supernatural words, or revelations, supposed to come from God, which produces a forced "faith," or faith beyond the believer's true measure, the result being actions which lead into paths of trial never planned by God. Pages 129, 135, 274, 275.
10. Reliance upon evil spirits means a passive leaning upon supernatural help and experience, which draws the person away from faith in God Himself, and from active co-action with Him. Page 143.
11. "Communion" with evil spirits may take place by retiring within to enjoy sense communion, in "exquisite feelings" which absorbs and renders the soul incapable of the duties of life. The "flesh" is fed by this spurious spiritual "communion" as really as in grosser ways. Pages 124, 125, 155.
12. A "waiting for the Spirit to come," in hours of prayer, which brings those who "wait" into passivity, which at last reaches a point of "séance" conditions, followed by an influx of lying spirits in manifestations. Pages 62, 63.
13. Praying to evil spirits comes about by praying to "God" in the atmosphere, or within, or possibly to "pictures" of God in the mind; instead of approaching the Throne of Grace according to Heb. 10: 19. Pages 95, 130.
14. "Asking" evil spirits, by speaking to some supernatural presence in, or around the person. The "answers" are generally "dramatic," sensational, calculated to over-awe the person, and make him feel he is a wonderful recipient of favour from on high. By this means the demons gain control over him. Pages 118, 119, 142.
15. Evil spirits speaking, wither puffing up, accusing, condemning or confusing the person, so that the is bewildered or distracted and cannot exercise his reason or judgment. The "speaking" of accusing spirits resembles the "thinking," or speaking to oneself, when the words are not uttered audibly. Pages 170, 171.

The True Workings of God, and Counterfeits of Satan.
"Knowledge and all discernment; so that ye may prove the things that differ, that ye may be sincere and void of offence. . . ." Phil. 1: 9,10, m.
True
1. The Baptism, or Fullness of the Spirit: An influx of the Spirit of God into the human spirit, which liberates the spirit from the soul (Heb. 4: 12), so as to become a pliable organ or channel for the outflow of the Spirit through the believer, manifested in witness to Christ and in aggressive prayer service against the powers of darkness.
It is a true baptizing into the Body of Christ, and oneness with all the members of the Body. Its special mark and result is known in power to witness for Christ, and in conviction of sin in others, and their turning to God.
The highest manifestation of the Fullness of the Spirit is co-existent with the use of the faculties and self-control.
There is but one reception of the Holy Spirit: with many succeeding experiences, developments, or new crises, resultant on fresh acts of faith, or apprehension of truth; various believers having varied degrees of the same Infilling of the Spirit, according to individual conditions. The enduement of power for service is often a definite experience in many lives. Pages 50, 291, 297.
2. The Presence of God: Known in and by the human spirit, through the Holy Spirit. When He fills the atmosphere of a room the spirit of the man is conscious of it, not his senses. The faculties of those present are alert and clear, and they retain freedom of action. The spirit is made tender (Psa. 34: 18), and the will pliable to the will of God. All the actions of a person moved by the true and pure Presence of God are in accord with the highest ideal of harmony and grace. Pages 104, 107.
3. God in and with man in the spirit: John 14: 23. The Father in heaven is realized to be a real Father (Gal. 4: 6), the Son a real Saviour, the Holy Spirit a real Person; manifested as One in the spirit of the believer, by the Holy Spirit: with resulting effects as in Rom. 8: 9-11. Pages 103, 130.
4. Christ manifested in the believer by His Spirit, so that He is known as a Living Person on the Throne in heaven, and the believer joined in spirit to Him there, with the result that Christ's life and nature is imparted to him, forming and building up in him a "new creation," (Gal. 1: 16; 4: 19. Col. 1: 27), the believer growing up into Him in all things.note 1 Pages 103, 107, 126, 127, 289.
5. Consciousness of God: Felt in the spirit, and not by the physical senses. Pages 107, 108.
6. The Holiness of God: when realized by the believer produces worship and godly awe, with a hatred of sin. On the ground of the Blood of Calvary God draws near to men, seeking their love, but His presence does not terrorize. Page 289.
7. Surrender to God: Of spirit, soul and body, is a simple yielding or committal to Him of the whole man, to do His will and be at His service. God asks the full co-operationnote 2 of the man in the intelligent use of all his faculties. Rom. 6: 13. Page 70.
8. Fellowship with the sufferings of Christ: The result of faithful witness for Him, and in such "suffering," the joy of the Spirit breaks forth in spirit. (Acts 5: 41). The fruit of true conformity to Christ's death in the "fellowship of His sufferings" is seen in life to others, and growth in tenderness of spirit, and Christ-likeness in character. 2 Cor. 4: 10-12. Page 89.
9. Trusting God: A true faith given of God in the spirit, having its origin in Him, without effort reckoning upon Him to fulfil His written Word. Co-existent with the full use of every faculty in intelligent action. "Faith" is a fruit of the Spirit and cannot be forced. Gal. 5: 22. 2 Cor. 4: 13. Page 275.
10. Reliance upon God: An attitude of the will, of trust and dependence upon God, taking Him at His word, and depending upon His character of faithfulness. Page 127.
11. Communion with God: Fellowship in the Spirit with Christ in the glory as one spirit with Him. The consciousness of this is in the spirit (John 4: 24) only, and not in "feelings" in the senses. See for conditions of true communion with God, 1 John 1: 5-7. Page 291.
12. Waiting on God: The spirit in restful co-operation with the Holy spirit, waiting God's time to act, and a waiting for Him to fulfil His promises. The true waiting upon God can be co-existent with the keenest activity of mind and service. Page 62-63.
13. Praying to God: Having access to the Holiest of all, on the ground of the Blood (Heb. 10: 19). Penetrating in spirit through the lower heavens to the Throne of Grace. Heb 4: 14-16. True "prayer" is not directed toward God as within the believer, but to a Father in heaven, in the Name of the Son, by the Holy Spirit. Page 126.
14. Asking God: An act of the will in simple faith, making a transaction with God in heaven, on the ground of His written Word. "Answers to prayer" from God are usually so unsensational and so unobtrusive that the petitioner often does not recognize the answer. Cf. pages 249, 276, 279.
