Is America Losing Its Faith in God?

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

By Anthony Smith Is there a place where the workers of iniquity can hide from God? Is there no place where mankind, turning away from God, can go to worship strange gods and not be seen? Is a nation that goes after gods of the idolaters justified before the Lord? I wish to para-phrase the words of Hosea in, Hosea 5:7 ; They have dealt treacherously against the Lord: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions. To wit this nation has begotten strange children, children of idol worship, strange gods that abhor the living God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, the God of our forefathers that established this nation on the strict principles that Jesus is Both Lord and Christ. Has this Nation dealt treacherously against the Lord, by allowing these strange children of idols, to grow and prosper in a nation of freedom? We have seen in the past, when at war, people of certain backgrounds and nations of origin, being rounded up and put in camps. We being afraid that these people were also the enemy that we were fighting. We segregated these people, hated these people and, despised their nations of origin, because of what they desired to do. Has this nation forgotten all that it has learned over the past 100 years? We used to call, the Indians, and then King George, the anti-Christ, we were a nation that was in Love with The Living God, and also feared Him the most. Has this nation dealt treacherously against the Lord, not standing up and declaring that, He is the God of Our Nation, or are we afraid to make sound statements to all because we fear reprisals and ridicule from the rest of the world? Who are we afraid of, lawyers, judges, principality’s, powers, Kings, Priest? Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. There are no, lawyers, judges, principality’s, powers, Kings, or Priest, that exist that are not ordained by God. All these powers exist at the will of God. Do you not believe that God can give power and also can take it away? Why have we, as a nation, been able to exist with so many enemies for so long? Because we had God on our side, who has protected us. We were the light of the world to the gentile race of people, we preached the Gospel and proclaimed God as our Leader, Lord and our Sovereign God. We once guarded our shores against the enemy of freedom but have we made a pact with the devil and allowed him to set up palaces of Gold and Silver in our heart land? We must leave the wheat and the chaff grow together, for God will separate them in the end. But where is our National pride, where is our National Prominence among the world, where has our devotion to the living God gone? Does not each leader that comes from other nations, seek only after the wealth of this nation? Do they come to hear about our fear of God, or do they come with their hands out? What Happened to One Nation under God? In Matthew 21:43 we see that what was taken away from Israel, for a time, was given to us. Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Have we allowed these worshipers of strange and false gods to pervert this nation? Have we allowed Satan to come in freely and make up laws, transgressing the true laws, changing the ordinances, and breaking the everlasting covenant that was handed down to us by God? Isa 24:5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 2Ki 17:29 Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.There is a separation between the physical and the spiritual. Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. We all have the knowledge of Gods word, we cannot be so blind as to believe that all religions can come together and be as one. For the light hates the darkness, and Idols have no place in the House of God. Are we to close a blind eye to history? Are we to forget what happened to, Babylon, Rome, Berlin and Moscow, and the latest Baghdad, with all their false gods and idols, did they not all fall? The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, He makes us to stand and also can allow us to fall. 2Co 6:14-18; Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. We do not go to arms nor do we fight the flesh. Our fight is with the spirit of anti-Christ. Our weapons are not of this world but of a world beyond measure. Our weapons are fashioned by God, The Armor of Faith, Salvation and Truth. Eze 12:28 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD. Psa 33:12-15; Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. Bible prophecy is coming to pass, we as a Nation must continue to stand upon the truth of the Gospel. We must declare to all that we are a nation that believe and trust in only one God threw His Son, Jesus Christ. Ars.

Mark Of The Beast And The Image Of The Beast

Monday, May 26th, 2008

By Jimmy Massa Revelation 13:15 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. In revelation it says that the False Prophet who works with the Anti-Christ will create an image of the beast; that actually speaks and kills anyone that does not worship it. With todays modern technology its not difficult to see how this may happen. The image of the beast may be some kind of holographic image linked to a supercomputer, the holographic image may be an animated impression of the Anti-Christ that talks and performs and people will be forced to worship it. Those who dont worship it will be killed in some way. Revelation 13:16-17 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here in revelation it states that everyone will have to have some kind of mark. The mark is likely to be some kind of microchip under the skin, in many countries throughout the world people are already getting microchips implanted under their skin. A nightclub in Spain implants its VIP members with microchips so they can get discount drinks, also many companies are implanting their employees with chips for security reasons. Movies like Star Wars, Terminator and Star Trek also promote the idea of Human beings integrating themselves with technology. I believe its likely that if people take the mark of the beast chip implants, the implants could somehow be controlled by this super computer that is linked to the hologram image of the beast. If someone doesnt worship the image of the beast its possible the microchip embedded in them could establish they are not worshipping the image, and somehow communicate this to the supercomputer, then the supercomputer could send out some kind of deadly electronic pulse to the persons microchip that causes them to be electrocuted to death. Im not saying this is exactly how it will happen; Im just exploring various plausible theories, because I dont think were ever going to know exactly how this will all pan out until we get there. But its certain from scripture that whoever does not worship this animated image of the beast will be killed by it. The image of the beast will definitely be animated, because it clearly states the image can talk and communicate. Its clear though the Human and technology integration concept is being exhaustively promoted. Mobile phones were just the beginning, people are almost attached to their mobile phones today, and there is all sorts of new gizmo accessories accompanying the mobile phones such as; blue tooth etc. There is much cutting edge scientific ideas in progress at the moment, scientists are now talking about a microchip that can be embedded into a persons skin and it can be used as a mobile phone, and you can move a curser on your computer screen using your brain nerves whilst this chip is embedded under your skin. Scientists are also exploring ideas of transferring a persons memory directly from their brain onto a computer. The human race is really trying to play God with this Human technology integration concept; humans seem to think they can evolve themselves to Godlike status with technology; its almost like their listening to Satans promise that we can be like gods if we integrate ourselves with technology and eat of this knowledge. Satan told Eve in the Garden of Eden that if she ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you will be like a God (Genesis 3:4). Scientists are trying to tell us that if we integrate ourselves with technology such as implantable microchips we will be like gods, just like Satan promised Eve in the Garden of Eden. With all the sci-fi shows like Star Trek about aliens flying around in spaceships and connecting their minds to technological type devices, who knows what the Anti-Christ forces that control Hollywood are pre-conditioning us for. Maybe they will stage a UFO landing and then get some demon to walk out of the UFO/Spaceship and tell us he can make us like gods. The demon could tell us if we connect our minds to alien/occult type technology, by implanting ourselves with advanced microchips that we could become advanced super human godlike people. If that happened it would be just like in The Garden of Eden when Satan told Eve she could be like a God, if she ate of the tree of knowledge. But remember if Satan arrives in a spaceship to tell us he is here to make us like gods with his technology, remember he wont appear as an ugly demon, he will appear as an angelic being to deceive people. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 11:14) With all the false signs, technological wonders and cleverly devised fables that Satan is preparing, just remember that Jesus Christ is our savior and He died on the cross for our sins. Do not let Satan confuse and deceive you, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is simple and its a free gift from God. Salvation through Jesus Christ is not complicated, you dont need to be super-intelligent, have a college degree or implant yourself with any technological device to be saved. To be saved through Christ and be a Child of God all you need is simple childlike faith, you just need to admit youre a sinner and ask Jesus to come into your life and help you. This shows God is a loving God and gives everyone a chance to have salvation regardless of how intelligent or educated we are. The gift of salvation is a free gift from God, because God so loved the world he gave His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ) that whosoever would be believe in Him would not perish, but would have eternal life (John 3:16). God gave us eternal salvation through His Son, but the Devil is going to try and trick the world into following himself and his demonic technological and occult wonders. Advanced technology, UFOs and occults party tricks can not compare with the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Technology will never make us super human gods. We are not God, there is only one Almighty God and he came to us in the form of a human being in the flesh and died for our sins on a cross. Jesus Christ was the living Word of God who came down from heaven to give us the message of salvation. Jesus was the Word and the Word is God. John 1:1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. The Word was Jesus Christ in the flesh and the Word was God. Jesus was God in the flesh, thats clear from the above scripture. Jesus died for us on the cross to give us eternal salvation. Trust Jesus Christ and dont trust a microchip or a demon that arrives in a flying saucer. Jimmy is a man after God’s own heart and has been called to minsiter to the body of Christ in the office of prophet. The prophets calling is not an easy one, but Jimmy speaks with clarity and with much emotion driven by his supernatural understanding of the scriptures. He is spoon fed by the Holy Spirit each day and has a zeal for God that surpases lukewarm Christians and he is dedicated to waking up the body of Christ as well as saving the lost.

Why Maintaining Your Body pH Is Of Utmost Importance

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

By Will Johnson Ph is a concept introduced in the early 1900 and deals with testing something for its hydrogen activity. More hydrogen activity means more acidic in nature while a lower hydrogen activity translates to an alkaline essence. Now taking this definition and applying it to the human body would give us our body ph. The ideal body ph for humans is 7.3. Any deviation from this causes the body to react and fall ill. Body ph is of utmost importance to the functioning of our vital organs. The brain, which can be called the central processing unit of our body, cannot store energy. It draws energy every second from the blood supplied to it by the veins. This blood has a ph level which in turn affects the level of insulin, which decides the amount of sugar that is to be absorbed by the blood. So if the body ph misbalances the brain instantly feels the pressure. A high acidic body ph would not let the brain draw the energy that is does from the blood cells which will in themselves be low on insulin and so energy. After the brain the next most vital part in out body is the heart. If the body ph gets more acidic then the negatively charged fatty acid in the blood cells become positively charged. As soon as that happens they get attracted like magnets to the negatively charged vein walls. Such attraction between the blood cells and the vein walls causes the arteries to get blocked over time. Thus most generations that have meats as their main diet cause their body ph to get acidic thus causing the fatty acid to change poles making the cells stick to the veins thus causing heart diseases. If the body ph tilts to the other side it causes much harm. The square enzymes become misfits and when they cant fit into their designated slots they fail to perform their given functions causing the body to malfunction. Even the absorption of minerals gets affected adversely with the body ph getting more acidic that it should be. Important minerals like iodine need an almost perfect body ph for the body to absorb them. These minerals control the flow of electricity in our body and with lack of their absorption illness arises. A balanced body ph is the only answer to keeping many chronic illnesses from arising and consuming our body. The circle of maintaining the body ph is a vicious one. The body is constantly trying to keep the right balance between the acidic and the alkaline levels in our body. This constant endeavor takes a lot of minerals. A tilted ph level reduces absorption of minerals that in turn makes the ph level tilt towards the acidic side even more. So the next time you feel symptoms of an illness coming on. Take urine or saliva ph test, for the beginning of the cure might lie there. For a healthy body it is essential that just the right body ph be maintained.

Losing Stomach Fat: 10 Good Tips for You

Friday, May 9th, 2008

By Billy Chambers 1. You dont want to hear it, it sounds flat-out cheesy, and you dont believe it has any effect whatsoever, but set some goals! Make your goals different time periods (how much weight in X time) and make them for different sizes of clothing or poundage. As Yogi Berra said, Careful if you dont know where youre going, you might not get there. 2. Forget about the three meal a day format that mom set for you as a child and you have held on to since, more meals with less to eat at each meal is more beneficial. Get your metabolism going by eating five or six small meals everyday instead of two or three massive meals. Its not the total quantity for the day, but instead the opportunity your body has to burn the fat. 3. Make sure that you are consciously making an effort to use your stomach muscles in everyday activities to keep them contracting and burning. Try mixing in some sit-ups or crunches at work or when you wake up, in other words, you wont lose any weight in your stomach if you dont exercise it! 4. Dont believe that you will be losing stomach fat overnight like some ads say in a glorious way en route to being Jareds heir apparent for Subway. It will take work and it wont happen overnight, but burning the fat and feeding the muscle is the key to losing stomach fat. 5. Eat right and think right to get the momentum going. In other words, dont simply think about going to McDonalds everyday, but dont necessarily go straight to rice cakes and water to burn the fat. You must feed the muscle with protein and the right foods. 6. Have an inspiration in mind that losing stomach fat will be a quest for the greater good to achieve. The great writers in Greek and Roman times used the Muses to get inspiration for their epics, you need inspiration too. Dont think this is hokey, it can be your girl/boyfriend or fitting into clothes better or making it up a flight of stairs without losing breath, just make something inspire you! 7. Eliminate the carbonated beverages, and most of the caffeine for that matter. Speaking as someone who had to lose the belly fat I can tell you that the carbonated beverages will only bloat your stomach and cause you to look even bigger. Drink water, drink water, and then drink some more water! 8. Play a game of hide and seek with all of the sweet foods or junk foods that you have around the house as they will only cause you pain and discomfort. Dont simply try to walk by them and win, lock them in something and put the key or combo in a place that is hard to get to, then you will think long and hard about entering to retrieve the foods! 9. Quit saying you are going to do it and believing that you will start tomorrow put down what you are doing and start right now! You wont burn any fat or feed any muscle if you are sitting on your couch eating rind dings and considering working out DO IT! 10. Celebrate every victory, this could be (and likely will be) a long march that needs small victories along the way. Dont celebrate with good foods that will set you back, but rather with a good CD, DVD, book, or going to the movies. Positive reinforcement works, even if it is from you to you! Billy Chambers writes for 10GoodTips.com as well as other review websites that allow for consumers to find a reasonable solution to internet searches or purchases for a variety of products and services.

Caring for Bonsai plants

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

By Briscoe White Bonsai, pronounced bone-sigh (singular and plural) are dwarfed plants or trees grown in shallow pots or trays. The Japanese developed the art of Bonsai many hundreds of years ago. They tried to capture the beauty of oddly dwarfed trees that managed to grow under the most adverse conditions. Today, the beauty of these trees can be replicated indoors by pruning the roots and top growth, restricting the pot size and shaping the plant by wiring it. Plants used for Bonsai vary from traditional trees such as junipers and cypresses to flowering and fruiting shrubs and trees such as azaleas and camellias to tropical plants such as jade and ficus. With a little special care, The Bonsai can bring a little taste of the Orient into your home. The basic care requirements are as follows: 1) Light an unobstructed west, east or south window is preferred, south being the best in the winter. Grow lights can also be used successfully with Bonsai. 2) Water and Fertilizer the small pots require regular watering, typically once a day. The frequent watering depletes nutrients quickly so fertilizing is recommended (at half strength) monthly. 3) Temperature average house temperatures of 68-72 degrees are fine, although plants typically like nights to drop 10-15 degrees below the average daytime temperature. Placing the plant between the window and curtain usually satisfies this requirement. Some trees need a dormant cold period during the winter and can weather outdoors for 2 3 months in a protected spot. 4) Humidity to increase humidity indoors, group plants together, and mist daily. You can also use a room humidifier or place plants on a tray of moistened pebbles. To learn more about growing Bonsai, you may want to read the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens excellent handbook entitled Bonsai for Indoors. In 1985, Briscoe White opened The Growers Exchange in an abandoned Texaco station on a busy urban street corner in Richmond, Virginia. The facility has grown over the years, and is now 5 distinct growing environments with 5 acres under cover. Briscoe has over 25 years of gardening experience. For further information on indoor and outdoor gardening plants or gardening tips please contact Briscoe White at bwhite@thegrowersexchange.com.
