SPARKS FROM THE ANVIL OF LIFE

Signs, Wonders, and the Miraculous are happening today…

Above is an incredible picture that was taken of Bruce Allen while ministering; and when the photo was taken, Bruce was being translated.

The miraculous and supernatural signs and wonders are ramping up in these days; for even as the Bible promises, when the enemy comes in as a flood, the Lord raises up a standard against him!

Now I know, before I even get started, that there will be a certain portion of you who will say that this picture has been photo shopped, and will right off the bat respond in unbelief.

To those people, I can only suggest that you look to the Word of God, where God says that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

The miraculous signs and wonders have never ceased, folks, not in our time, nor in any other time… not since the Day of Pentecost!

What has ceased, however, is the faith of the church, and Believers within the church, to believe and expect the miraculous and supernatural; and consequently doubt and unbelief have dominated the church, at least it has here in the West.

Not so in the Third World countries however, where miraculous and supernatural manifestations have become a normal part of ministry there for quite some time.

I know personally that this is happening, after having met a man, in my trip to Phenom Phen, Cambodia a few years ago, who had been raised from the dead, after having been dead for more than 12 hours.

I have a friend, named Dave, who was ministering in India a few years back, and the first person he prayed for had no eye balls; and God did a creative miracle right there, and put eyes balls in his eye sockets.

The question arises, why are these signs and wonders not more commonplace here in the West?

For my part, I think it is for the same reason that the Bible records that Jesus could not do very much, in the way of miracles, in His own home town, among his own people, and the reason that was given was because of their unbelief.

It is after all Jesus, Himself, who promises us that ALL things are possible, if only we can believe.

Based on that one promise alone, I would say that the only limitation we have, for us to appropriate more of the supernatural in our own daily life, is found in our tendency to put God in our religious boxes, where we aren’t really expecting or believing for God to manifest the supernatural.

This is not just for the few to experience; but this is for all of God’s children.

However, it won’t happen in an atmosphere where the Holy Spirit is not given free rein; and where people are fearful of what they don’t know, or understand.

Know this, God will not override the pastor, and whatever ceiling your pastor has established for his level of belief in these areas, will also be your ceiling too!!! Selah

These supernatural manifestations are to be used as a tool to witness and evangelize; and I believe it will happen as we press in towards more face time and intimacy with God, as per 2^nd Chronicles 7:14.

We need this more than ever, folks, and our country needs it.

The Holy Spirit was sent, as the POWER of God, to unite the church; to teach us and lead us into all truth; and also to convict the world of their need for a Saviour.

The enemy, however, has made it a subject of controversy and division, which in and of itself should tell you something, about how important all of this is.

Once again, I want to say that the only limitation we have is between our own two ears!

I don’t know about you, but I’m thirsty for more of this myself, in my own life… and I’m pressing in! How about you?

Come with us, and join in on the adventure… won’t you?

Shalom,

Lord, restore our Republic, and give us once again a nation that is truly under God!

Lord, restore our Republic, and give us

once again a nation that is truly under God!

First of all, let me start by saying I don’t care what skin color our president has; I don’t care whether he or she is white, black, brown, yellow, red, blue or green with purple polka dots, as long as he or she is native born; is a U.S. Citizen; and can proof as much by supplying the proper documentation.

I expect he or she to be a Born-again Christian, who fears the Lord, and abides by God’s laws; who also places God and his laws first place in their own life, and therefore also uses that same moral plum line to guide them in the decisions they are making, in order to guide our nation’s future.

It matters not to me how much or how little pigmentation they have in their skin, as long as I know I can trust them to do what is best for our nation, and for our nation’s future.

I want a president who, whether or not he or she is a military tactician, or strategist, I at least expect them to have the sense to listen to and follow the advice of godly and trustworthy council of those, around them, who have that experience and knowledge; and that they would listen to their advise to guide them in the affairs of war; who won’t go off half cocked, and follow some secret agenda; and who at the risk and sacrifice of the lives of our men and women in our nation’s armed forces, are taking their orders from forces outside of our government, and outside of what’s best for our nation’s best interest, as this present lot of politicians are doing today.

This is an example of the caliber of person I would expect to be Commander in Chief of our land:

And this is an example of someone I would recommend and vote for, to be President of our land:

Don’t tell me that the only people we can find for the highest office of our land, is by scraping the barrow, as we have been doing; or selecting man and women who have been trained and conditioned, through education and secret societies, to betray our U.S. Constitution, and follow hidden agendas before they are even elected to office.

May God deliver our nation from such leadership, as we have today, who are further dismantling our Constitutional Republic and our sovereignty from the inside out; and deliver us from the media that supports them!

May God instead reestablish our nation, once again, upon faith in God, and upon our U.S. Constitution; and let us have men and women in office who are loyal to our Christian heritage and principles, who both reverence and obey the Bible, and the Christian heritage that has made our nation strong!

Amen, so let it be Lord Jesus… let it happen in our country, as it is established in your Word! Selah

Lubbock Texas Farmer Says No to Obama!!!

Lubbock Texas Farmer Says No to Obama!

Let’s be very clear, when you say NO to Obama, you are saying no to the following:

· The liquidation of our U.S Constitution;

· The surrendering of our sovereignty and freedom as a people, for government sponsored socialism;

· The exchange of our constitutional liberties, to tyrannical rule, by self-centered, self appointed, demigod bureaucrats, or czars… whatever they are called these days; all of whom, by the way, are appointed by one man, and none of which are elected, and nor are they accountable to anyone, except to the man who appointed them;

· You are saying NO to the mass extermination and genocide of innocent life, in that of the unborn child, inside of a mother who doesn’t want it;

· You are saying NO to a society where Euthanasia is the norm; and a bureaucrat gets to decide what medical treatment you should get, and whether you should live or die;

· You are saying NO to a society that has forfeited all of our long established heritage and history as a Christian nation;

· You are saying NO to same sex marriage; and the acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle as normal and natural;

· You are saying NO to a military that has been undermined and demoralized by unnatural and ungodly requirements and laws;

· You are saying NO to having your children, and all future generations being made servants and slaves to the State;

· And most importantly, you are saying no to this stupid, and traitorous thing called the “New World Order;” which is nothing more than an entrée, that is taking us one step closer to the rule of the Beast of Revelation… who is the Antichrist!

So I am in total agreement with this message, from Lubbock, Texas, 100%; and I suggest the rest of America wake up and give Obama that same message… while we still can, before it’s too late!

Shalom,

Subject: Fwd: View from Plane in Lubbock, Tx

Texas has spoken:How unique! Somebody went to a lot of trouble.When you look at the message, note that it was not made by cutting down plants for the letters, it was made by cutting everything else away and leaving the letters. That took a lot of ingenuity, time, and ability.

Look at the 2nd picture and compare the message size with the farm house and adjoining buildings etc. The picture is actually huge..

The farmer who owns the field made the images, and it’s near the airport so all of the planes coming and going can see the message. It would be hard to land in Lubbock, Texas and not see this.

Doesn’t it make you proud to live in Texas!!!

Come join the adventure…

This is God’s law, and it applies equally to all!

If you are born only once, of water in natural physical child-birth, then you will of necessity die twice.

Now you may be asking yourself, what exactly is this “second death?”

Well, we find this term “Second Death” used four times in the Bible, it is mentioned in Rev 2:11, Rev 20:6, in Rev. 14, and Rev. 21:8; and in each incident we are taught that this “Second Death” means permanent separation from God!

So according to God’s requirement, if you are born twice, where your second birth is a re-birth into the spiritual realm, then your only death will be of your physical body, which will return to the dust, from which it came.

Your Spirit Man, however, that part of us which is already dead (due to our estrangement and separation from God), will now be made alive, as God gives to each of us a new heart (spirit), as the result of our New Birth experience.

It is this Spirit Man that has been created in the image and likeness of God, and our rebirth is what reunites us with the family of God, for all eternity.

This is what the Bible teaches, and what’s more, this is also the Good News of the Gospel.

It’s not even a matter of God weighing our good deeds in life, against our bad deeds.

The only means of obtaining this second birth, and eternal life, is not through any personal effort, on our part at all; and nor is it through any self worthiness, or holiness either.

In fact, the Bible teaches us that it is not by any works which we do, at all… it is a free gift.

In fact, the Bible tells us that all our human effort to qualify ourselves, no matter how sincerely motivated it is, it will only result in our failure to qualify; because God’s standard and requirement for entry into Heaven is perfection… and there is only one life that was perfect!

Our only access into heaven can be had only one way, and that is through our acceptance and faith in the propitiatory life, death, and resurrection of the Saviour of the World, Jesus Christ. Who is the Passover Lamb that was slain for the sins of the world!

Truly God is an Equal Opportunity God, who has made this free gift of salvation and reconciliation available equally to all men; but only those who have appropriated it, the way God has prescribed, can receive it.

The fact is, even though this awesome gift has been purchased and paid for in full, through the death and resurrection of God’s only begotten Son; and even though it comes free to us by grace, it did not come cheap, and the price necessary to make it possible cost God His all!

That’s why the Bible says for us to count the cost ourselves; because the cost to us will also be our all, in the total and absolute commitment of our free will, and our life for one purpose!

By that I mean, don’t just light-heartedly sign up for something, unless you know what you are committing yourself to; and are willing to commit yourself all the way!

Our 100% commitment is what God requires, and it’s not based on performance either, but only on our sincere effort and faith; and also by our not quitting.

Jesus paid the price in full, which guarantees our acceptance; but we have to appropriate this gift by faith; and that can only happen as we love the Lord with all our heart, mind, and strength; and then are willing to forego ALL of our perceived rights to ourself, to live our life as we please; and are rather willing to commit ourself, with our entire mind, body, and soul, for one purpose… and that is to God’s service.

So make no mistake; Jesus cannot be our Savior, unless He is also first our Lord! Selah

So come join in the adventure… won’t you?

But first, let me invite those of you who have yet to make this decision, and are still wondering if it is necessary… to take a little test.

How do you see God?

Jesus said: “I am the door!”

John 10:7-18(The Message)

6-10 Jesus told this simple story, but they had no idea what he was talking about. So he tried again. “I’ll be explicit, then. I am the Gate for the sheep. All those others are up to no good—sheep stealers, every one of them. But the sheep didn’t listen to them.

I am the Gate. Anyone who goes through me will be cared for—will freely go in and out, and find pasture.

A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.

11-13″I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd puts the sheep before himself, sacrifices himself if necessary.

A hired man is not a real shepherd. The sheep mean nothing to him. He sees a wolf come and runs for it, leaving the sheep to be ravaged and scattered by the wolf. He’s only in it for the money. The sheep don’t matter to him.

14-18″I am the Good Shepherd. I know my own sheep and my own sheep know me.

In the same way, the Father knows me and I know the Father. I put the sheep before myself, sacrificing myself if necessary.

You need to know that I have other sheep in addition to those in this pen. I need to gather and bring them, too.

They’ll also recognize my voice. Then it will be one flock, one Shepherd. This is why the Father loves me: because I freely lay down my life. And so I am free to take it up again.

No one takes it from me. I lay it down of my own free will. I have the right to lay it down; I also have the right to take it up again. I received this authority personally from my Father.”

How do you see God?

For some God is a mean old bearded ogre, always looking to pounce on them when they do wrong; and yet for others he is but the creation of their own mind, and nothing more than a straw image of what they have imagined him to be.

But for the Christian, God can only truly be known through the person of Jesus Christ, and the knowledge of His Word, the Holy Bible.

There is truly no other way to truly know who God is, other than to listen to Him; spend time with Him; and to read and meditate upon His Word.

If you don’t do this, and if you are taking one of these other avenues, then you are leaving yourself open to deception.

The Bible clearly says that God is not the author of confusion; but I can tell you who is.

His name is Satan, Lucifer, the Devil; and by whatever name you know him, his one goal, as illustrated numerous times in the Bible, is to cloud the truth, and to keep you from seeing Jesus.

I see it like this, you’re sitting in a restaurant, and someone comes in with an announcement, saying to all in the room—kind of like what a stewardess on a plane does before takeoff—announcing where the EXIT is, and what to do in the event of an emergency.

The warning is given for all to hear that there is ONLY one EXIT, only one Door, or way of escape!

However, as happens in life, most are not paying attention, but are involved in conversation, or with other things, and they could care less. After all, there’s no evidence of anything being wrong; there’s no smoke or fire… not even the hint of it.

Then comes in this other man, in a red suit, and he announces to those in the room, “No, there are other exits that are just as good, and not just one; and so there will be a certain portion of the people who will believe him; but most still having seen no evidence of an emergency, and having seen no smoke nor fire, they are still oblivious to any danger, and could care less… there much too busy involved with, and enjoying life!

There are only a few in the room who know there is an emergency coming, they have been warned, and they believe the warning. These people are already headed towards the first Door; and so they warn everyone they can, whosoever will give heed and pay attention.

For some, they have already taken one of the other false exits (which is only a dead end); and for most of the others, they still are too busy with other things to pay attention, or to care.

Folks, as I see it, this is the situation we have today in the world; and consequently, just as the Bible says, the road to life is narrow, and few there be that find it; but the road to destruction is wide, and many there be, who are on that path.

Salvation has to do with our eternal destiny, and it is much too important a subject, and God loves His estranged children much too much to leave the path to salvation open to mere opinion, feelings, or false doctrine.

There are so many who because they have been raised in a certain denomination, and have been taught certain things, they have laid their entire eternal destiny on what they have been lead to believe, without ever having checked out the contract (covenant) for themselves, which is the Holy Bible, to see if it is true or not. Instead they have trusted what someone else has told them, and because of that oversight, their ignorance, their mistake… they are in for a huge disappointment.

We will each be held accountable in the end, and whereas, opinions are something everyone has, it won’t be your opinion that gets you into heaven.

The Bible says clearly that entry into Heaven is only given to those who have been born-again, as Jesus explained to Nicodemus, in John chapter 3. And even as the message above states, Jesus is the ONLY door, and all the others, who have come before, have been thieves and robbers.

Don’t you make that mistake, that most of the world is making, by ignoring your only salvation; or by thinking you are okay because you have a denominational name over you, and are thinking your label will get you in… because it won’t! Jesus made it crystal clear that… ONLY THOSE WHO ARE BORN-AGAIN GET IN! Selah

Now for those who have elected Jesus as their only door, for those people, all the promises of God are yea and amen… as the Bible says!

They know God not only as their Heavenly Father, and their Saviour; but also He is their provider, healer, and loving friend and companion.

This message below is directed only at the born-again Believers; but the invitation is still open to ALL, whosoever will, to enter into that relationship, by only that one Door; and begin your relationship with God, through faith in Jesus Christ alone!

The Bible says that whosoever calls upon that Name, the name of Jesus, shall be saved… and so my advice to you is, don’t leave home without Him!

Shalom,

Skip Barland

God Calling

How Men See Me

I came to help a world. And according to the varying needs of each so does each man see Me.

It is not necessary that you see Me as others see Me – the world, even the Church, My disciples, My followers, but it is necessary that you see Me, each of you, as supplying all that you personally need.

The weak need My Strength. The strong need My Tenderness. The tempted and fallen need My Salvation. The righteous need My Pity for sinners. The lonely need a Friend. The fighters need a Leader.

No man could be all these to men – only a God could be. In each of these relations of Mine to man you must see the God. The God-Friend, the God-Leader, the God-Savior.

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:29

Who is behind our economic crisis?

I ran into a man yesterday at lunch, and we started talking about the Federal Reserve. He had not heard the truth behind this organization before, and he asked me to send him some more information.

So I’m sending it out to everyone.

Here is a link a video that explains how the FED operates:

Here is a video about the history behind the Rothschild International Banking Cartel, which today owns and controls our Federal Reserve System:

Here is the history behind the Federal Reserve System, and how it began: http://www.khouse.org/articles/1995/63/.

President Kennedy was one of the few presidents we have had who was not in these bankers pocket: http://www.john-f-kennedy.net/thefederalreserve.htm.

Who owns the Federal Reserve Bank?

THE TEN MEMBER BANKS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE

All owned by the Rothschilds

Rothschild Bank of London
Warburg Bank of Hamburg
Rothschild Bank of Berlin
Lehman Brothers of New York
Lazard Brothers of Paris
Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York
Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy
Goldman, Sachs of New York
Warburg Bank of Amsterdam
Chase Manhattan Bank of New York

These are the people who are the real criminals, who have been ripping off the American Treasury for over 96 years; and if you don’t believe me, just look at the following graph:

Read what President Woodrow Wilson said, about how he betrayed his country by signing the Federal Reserve Act, in 1913:

Three years after the initiation of the Federal Reserve, Woodrow Wilson said:

“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”

Make no mistake; the ultimate goal of these men is world domination, and the establishment of a “New World Order,” and ultimately a one world monetary system that they will control.

This concept of a “New World Order” was first introduced by none other than former President George H.W. Bush, in a speech which he made back in 1991. Listen for yourself:

Ever wonder why our media is so managed and one sided? Well these same bankers long ago, when they first established the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), one of the first things they did was devise a plan to control the media:

These are the true power brokers who have corrupted our politicians, our media, whose influence and control have taken God out of our public schools, and have slowing but surely been undermining our Constitutional Republic, for well now over 100 years.

Don’t just believe me, do your own homework, and check these facts out for yourself.

You know the Apostle Paul warned us NOT to be ignorant of the Enemy’s strategies and devices; and Jesus said for us to be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Most Americans are completely ignorant of this history, and these facts; and it is one of, if not the biggest fraud ever, in the history of the world!

Here are a few excerpts from Rep. Louis T. McFadden, which he made on the floor of House of Representatives on June 10^th, 1932:

Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government board, has cheated the Government of the United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt. The depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks acting together have cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times over. …

Some people think the Federal reserve banks are United States Government institutions. They are not Government institutions. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers, foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers, and rich and predatory money lenders. …

Those 12 private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this country by bankers who came here from Europe and who repaid us for our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this country to finance Japan in a war against Russia. They created a reign of terror in Russia with our money in order to help that war along. They instigated the separate peace between Germany and Russia and thus drove a wedge between the Allies in the World War. …

Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its power but the truth is the Federal Reserve Board has usurped the Government of the United States. …

Mr. Chairman, when the Federal reserve act was passed the people of the United States did not perceive that a world system was being set up here which would make the savings of an American school-teacher available to a narcotic-drug vendor in Macao. They did not perceive that the United States was to be lowered to the position of a coolie country which has nothing but raw materials and heavy goods for export. That Russia was destined to supply man power and that this country was to supply financial power to an international superstate–a superstate controlled by International bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure.

The enemy has been working against us for a very long time, and in that time he has entrenched himself in virtually every area of our culture and society; but folks the church is not down for the count yet… not by a long shot! For greater is HE who is in us, the Lord Jesus Christ, than he who is in the world.

Jesus said in no uncertain terms that, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against her!”

That’s us, folks, but we have to stop being on the defensive all the time, cowering in fear, pinned up against the ropes in the battles and struggles of life.

God will move on our behalf, if we get on board with His program; but for that to happen, we must follow His instructions.

This is where it begins:

2 Chronicles 7:14 (New King James Version)

¹⁴ If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Selah

Come let us reason together… saith the Lord!

Come let us reason together!

Listen to the word of the Lord:
“…Don’t you think I’ve had my fill of burnt sacrifices, rams and plump grain-fed calves?

Don’t you think I’ve had my fill of blood from bulls, lambs, and goats?
When you come before me, whoever gave you the idea of acting like this, running here and there, doing this and that— all this sheer commotion in the place provided for worship?

Quit your worship charades. I can’t stand your trivial religious games:
Monthly conferences, weekly Sabbaths, special meetings— meetings, meetings, meetings—I can’t stand one more!

Meetings for this, meetings for that. I hate them! You’ve worn me out! I’m sick of your religion, religion, religion, while you go right on sinning.

When you put on your next prayer-performance, I’ll be looking the other way. No matter how long or loud or often you pray, I’ll not be listening.

And do you know why? Because you’ve been tearing people to pieces, and your hands are bloody. Go home and wash up. Clean up your act. Sweep your lives clean of your evildoings so I don’t have to look at them any longer.

Say no to wrong.
Learn to do good.
Work for justice.
Help the down-and-out.
Stand up for the homeless.
Go to bat for the defenseless.

Let’s Argue This Out…

Come. Sit down. Let’s argue this out.” This is God’s Message:

“If your sins are blood-red,
they’ll be snow-white.
If they’re red like crimson,
they’ll be like wool.
If you’ll willingly obey,
you’ll feast like kings.
But if you’re willful and stubborn,
you’ll die like dogs.”
That’s right. God says so.

~Isaiah 1:11-20 (The Message)

The battleground we fight in everyday is so in our minds… have you noticed that?

Our time and energy is spent, I would say at least 90% worrying and fretting over something we fear will happen tomorrow. When the truth is, I would say, that at least 90+ percent of those things we fret over, never come to pass… and so we end up wasting a lot of time and energy on nothing!

God’s solution is given partly in the above verses of scripture, and also in what this prophetic devotional message is saying below.

Here’s the deal, and this is what God is trying to tell us:

Ephesians 2:4-7

He Tore Down the Wall

^1-6It wasn’t so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn’t know the first thing about living, tell you how to live.

You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience. We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when we felt like doing it, all of us in the same boat.

It’s a wonder God didn’t lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us. Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ.

He did all this on his own, with no help from us!

Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah.

^7-10Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus.

Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it.

It’s God’s gift from start to finish! We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing!

No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving.

He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing. (The Message Bible)

You see, the reason we are so frustrated at times, with our life, is because we were never placed here to serve ourselves, we were given life, and placed in this earth for one reason… and that is to serve God!

All the battles and all the hassles in life, all the resistance and agonizing struggles we face, which are so common to us all, are there for one reason, and that is because we have been estranged from our Source of Life, our Creator, because of SIN (a word in Greek which means “having missed the mark”).

The Bible is God’s love letter to His lost children, that explains the road home; and in the New Testament, we are given a new covenant, that is a message of GOOD NEWS; and that good news says that there’s a new King coming to town, and a new kingdom is being established.

The rule and rein of that new Kingdom begins when we are born-again; and it is established in our minds, and in our attitude by faith; for truly, as the scripture says, we are NOW seated in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Jesus even touched on this in His discourse with Nicodemus:

John 3:11-13

¹¹ Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. ¹² If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

¹³No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is,
the Son of Man who IS in heaven.

Now how is it possible, that Jesus, who is speaking to Nicodemus on terra firma, with His feet planted on the earth, how is it that he simultaneously can also be in heaven?

Well the Bible says the same thing about us, that we are also seated with Jesus, in heavenly places, at the right hand of the Father.

These truths are hard to grasp in the natural, with the limitations of our natural mind, and that’s why we must learn to appropriate much of our inheritance by faith, and let the Holy Spirit reveal God’s rhema truths to us.

All of this, of which I speak is very real folks, and it is the reality that we now have available to us in Christ, but it is not automatic that we enter in, we must lay hold of these truths by faith, and we must follow teh instructions given us in the Manual (The Holy Bible).

We must learn to live our lives, not relying on our own understanding, but trusting in God with all our heart, mind, and strength. Selah

So enter in today, won’t you, enjoy the adventure… and have a wonderful day!

Shalom,

Skip Barland

June 5, 2010. This is the time to ascend to heavenly places, thinking heavenly thoughts, speaking heavenly words and doing heavenly deeds.

esus has raised us from the dead and seated us at His right hand in heavenly places. We rule and reign in life from that elevated and glorified position with God our Father, at Jesus’ right hand.

Let your thoughts be only heavenly thoughts. May your mind dwell there on all the riches therein. Riches in health, wealth, marriage and family and so much more are your rightful inheritance.

Keep your confession positive and filled with the hope of eternity. From your position at the right hand of Jesus, create your own world for yourself, family, friends and neighbors. Ascend.

Ephesians 1:20-21 (KJV) “Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.”

June 5, 2010. You feel isolated. Ask yourself to trace back to the root when this was planted. It is a small incident which caused you to choose drawing away.

It seemed like a large thing at the time, but in the measure of the events of your life it is very small. It is time to reassess your decision and time to rejoin My work going on among others.

You have been missed. Forgive all involved. It is a pit not to forgive. Unforgiveness will rob you of many blessings. Forgiveness starts with a choice. I have such good plans for you. I love you and don’t want you to miss My blessings.

Galatians 6:7-10 “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.” Bev Robinson\

Are these the last days of the American empire?

Get a clue folks…

The very thing we spent the entire cold war period

fighting against, this president is implementing!

For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence… on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.
It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.
~ John F. Kennedy

It appears JFK had it right. He certainly saw the threat that was being waged against our country from the Rothschild International Banking Cartel, and he tried to get us out from under their clutches; and I believe that cost him his life.

The enemy today, is not so much from those outside of our country, but those within own government; because these men and women, for the most part, who are at the helm of our nation, and are making decisions for our nation’s future, are also on board with the Globalist agenda, in their efforts to direct our nation towards their “New World Order.”

This is unconstitutional, and therefore it is illegal; and those who are surreptitiously attempting to undermine our Constitutional Republic, and deny us of liberties and rights, in my opinion, should each be brought up on charges of treason.

The only reason they are bold enough to ignore the will of the American people is because they don’t think we care, or at the very least, won’t do anything to stop them.

What do you say? Are we really that far gone, and are we really that naive and weak, as a people?

Problem is, if we don’t appreciate our liberty and our freedom, that so many have given their lives to preserve; and worse, if we don’t care enough to speak up and let our voices be heard, then truly we don’t deserve it… and we will lose it!

It happened to Rome, and it is happening here… as our nation is crumbling from the inside out; due to dishonest and corrupt politicians, irresponsible spending, and the disintegration of our families, and our morals as a people.

The road back starts with repentance and a nation that turns back towards faith in God.

Pray for God to send revival and a spiritual awakening, for without that happening, I don’t hold out too much hope that we will change.

Shalom,

Buzz Aldrin talks about his UFO experience…

Buzz Aldrin talks about the ‘UFO’ which the

Apollo 11 crew saw on their way to the moon.

So what exactly are UFO’s? For my part, I don’t at all believe them to be extra terrestrial; rather I believe they are extra dimensional, meaning from a parallel dimension.

More precisely, the unexplained sightings, I believe to be mostly demonic in origin.

There are sighting, I believe of experimental aircraft that are seen on occasions; and I’m sure our government would rather we thought that they were UFO’s. But nevertheless, I do believe that UFO’s are very real.

The Bible talks about three dimensions, and labels them as the 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd heaven.

The Apostle Paul gives his account of having traveled to the 3^rd heaven.

Scientists today have theorized something that the Orthodox Jewish scholars have said for years, based soley on their understanding of scripture, and that is there are as many as 11 different dimensions.

So whatever these sightings mean, I’m not sure; but I believe totally that they are real.

There is so much that we don’t know; and the more we do know… the more we are aware and find out that we don’t know. 🙂

Anyway, I thought you would find Buzz Aldrin’s account interesting.

Shalom,

WE HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM…

We have a problem folks!

Below is an email that was sent to me about three former presidents who deported illegal immigrants; and the question is asked how come this isn’t talked about, and why isn’t it done today?

Before I begin, let me say that we are a nation of immigrants, and no one in their right mind is against LEGAL immigration; what we are opposed to however is people coming to our land illegally, who have no intention of assimilating and becoming American citizens; but who come only to take advantage of our system, and to drain our economy.

Also, I want to say that I don’t at all blame the majority of these people, who I believe are good hard working people, who are only trying to make a better life for themselves, and for their families.

Heck, if I came from their country, I would probably be doing the same.

The ones I’m upset with, however, are the people we have elected to office, who are supposed to enforce the laws of our land, with the highest law being our U.S. Constitution, who just ignore those laws in order to implement their subversive agenda, and lie to the American people in the process!

Regarding the following information about these three presidents who saw fit to deport Illegal Aliens to make more room for Americans to have jobs; my answer as to why this isn’t being done today, and why it isn’t talked about, is because the powers that be, of those who set the agenda for most of our politicians today, of those who have corrupted our media and our government, through their powerful influence, and control over the banking and monetary industry, these people (these Globalist Bankers, these men who own and control the Federal Reserve System and the IMF) these are the ones who have set this open borders agenda, because it furthers their agenda towards the establishment of a One World Government, and a one world monetary system; while at the same time it compromises our sovereignty as a nation, it weakens our economy, and also our morale.

The majority of this present lot of politicians, who are supposed to be representing our interests, are marching to a very different drum beat today, other than that of liberty and freedom, as did our founding fathers; rather their drumbeat has to do more with their own greed, lust for power and personal wealth; and also with the establishment of this so called coming “New World Order!”

In that they have violated their oath of office, and have ignored our U.S. Constitution, I call them all traitors and that applies from the top office of our land to the lowest!

Anyone who does not abide by and respect first the God of the Bible, and His Word; and does not also respect, obey, and enforce our U.S. Constitution, in my opinion, they have no business having any place in our government.

At least for the time being, until these corrupt politicians get their way, we are still a government of the people, by the people, and for the people; and may God help the American Citizens to wake up to that fact, and make the appropriate changes in our government!

Shalom,

Skip Barland

Subject: FW: Three Presidents Did it

Three Presidents did it, yet we never hear about it…

I FOUND THIS TO BE VERY INTERESTING,

I WONDER WHY IT WAS NEVER BROUGHT UP?

What did Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower have in common?

Here is something that should be of great interest for you to pass around. I didn’t know of this until it was pointed out to me.

Back during The Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.

Harry Truman deported over two million Illegal’s after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans’.

And then again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexican Nationals! The program was called ‘Operation Wetback’. It was done so WWII and Korean Veterans would have a better chance at jobs.

It took 2 Years, but they deported them!

Now…if they could deport the illegal’s back then – they could sure do it today.

If you have doubts about the veracity of this information, enter Operation Wetback into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself…

Reminder: Don’t forget to pay your taxes…

12 million Illegal Aliens are depending on you!
