STOP BEING BROKE ALL THE TIME...

IF you are always struggling with finances. IF you seem to be constantly in debt, lack or need. There is a spiritual dynamic you may not be aware of that is in play. Whatever you resent will distance itself from you spiritually. True of spiritual gifts, you don't see many miracles in the western church because there is resentment by denominational leaders of those who manifest them. You don't see much prophetic release in many churches so the preaching is lukewarm and frankly insipid. Whatever you resent or disassociate yourself in identity will distance itself from you.

IF you are broke and resent people who have made a lot of money by their own hands, you will work hard and never make money. If you are broke and resent people who inherited big money, you can bet that won't happen to you. If you are broke and resent people who get great jobs thru no apparent effort of their own, you can count on the fact you won't either.

The principle is this, your attitude toward those who are where you wish you could be will open or close the door for you. Be VERY VERY careful who you criticize and secretly resent. You are putting into play a spiritual truth that will come around to haunt you.

Begin to admire, study, learn from, connect with, work for, work with, emulate, pattern, model your life after those who have done well. It works spiritually and it works financially. We know all about spiritual sons, arbor bearers etc. The same principle of learning from those who got there, emulating, and admiring still works. Why do we think that's only in the church world. Stop being broke. Start looking to those with more and ask not, WHY THEM, but ask WHY NOT ME?

Seems like the Bible has a LOT to say about the kinds of relationships and friendships we should develop. Like creates like. It also has a lot to say about what our mentality needs to be to get where we want to go. We become like those we hang out with. Birds of a feather and all that. We emulate those we admire. We must shun those who would do us damage spiritually. We are hard wired to:

  • Develop a closer relationship with God.
  • Find the perfect man or woman.
  • Have a better relationship with your spouse and children.
  • Find the job of your dreams.
  • Increase the Joy in your life.
  • Find good friends

It comes by knowing:
  • The importance of faith and belief.
  • Asking for what you want.
  • What brings abundance to you.
  • What keeps abundance from you.

Matthew 7:16 “You will know them by their fruits.”
Use this verse to remember how to discern if another person is sharing information that can be valuable to you. For example, would you follow a person who is broke but they want to teach you about financial success? Their fruits (being broke) tell you that the information is no good.

Matthew 7:8 “For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

This concept is raised a few times in the Sermon on the Mount. Look also at Matthew 21:22. I’ve never seen anything in the Bible that says “ask, and if God deems you worthy you might get it, but don’t hold your breath.” The Bible is full of stories of overcoming (Job), of living badly and succeeding anyway (the prodigal son), and of believing and achieving completely with God’s help (Abraham).

You can choose thoughts of lack…
  • I don’t have enough money to pay my bills.
  • I don’t have the clothes, TV, car, house, or furniture that I want.
  • I don’t have the relationship that I want.

If you choose to focus on these types of things, guess what, you’re in a “have not” mindset. When you’re in a “have not” mindset, the Kingdom Dynamic is going to bring more lack into your life.

Or you can choose thoughts of having…

  • I have food to eat.
  • I have clothes to wear.
  • I have shelter over my head.
  • I have furniture to sit on.
  • I have a bed to sleep in.
  • I have friends and family that love me.

When you choose to focus on what you have, the Kingdom Dynamics will respond to Faith in “having” and it will bring more people and things into your life.

There are ground rules:

1. Be Thankful For What You Have
Instead of focusing on what’s missing in your life, spend some time every day being thankful for what you already have.

2. See Yourself Having What You Desire
You bring to you what you focus on, so if you focus on wanting something, you’re actually attracting more “want” into your life. You need to get into the feeling state of already having it.

These Verses are KEYS to having the right relationships and attitudes in our lives

Those who are fearful of a person will find themselves trapped but when we turn to the Lord we can find safety. (Proverbs 29:25)

Don't spend time with anyone who calls themselves a Christian but indulges with sexual sins, is greedy, cheats, is into idolatry, a drunk, or abusive. (1 Corinthians 5:11)

We'll know other Christians by the right things they are doing and the ones who aren't will not be close with the Lord. (3 John 11)

You'll become like those you associate with. "Do not be deceived: 'Evil company corrupts good habits'." (1 Corinthians 15:33)

Be like those who are faithful and patient who will inherit the promises of God. (Hebrews 6:12)

Follow in the ways of the one who led you to the Lord by being faithful like them. (Hebrews 13:7)

If someone wants to teach you anything different than Christ has taught us, don't invite him in your home, don't encourage him, or you will be taking part in his wickedness. (2 John10)

Don't engage with those who are doing evil or testify on their behalf in a dispute perverting justice. (Exodus 23:2)

When we follow the ways that good men do, we are keeping on the path of righteousness. (Proverbs 2:20)

When we consider the awesomeness of God, it's good to be open about it. (Ecclesiastes 8:12)

Don't be spending your time with someone who's angry or hot tempered or you may become like that yourself. (Proverbs 22:24)

Don't answer a fool regarding his own foolishness because you may end up like him. (Proverbs 26:4)

Don't spend time with those who are foolish or eventually you won't be able to discern knowledge. (Proverbs 14:7)

If you are in the company of those who are wise, you will gain wisdom. If you are in the company of those who are evil, you too will become evil. (Proverbs 13:20)

Don't do things that wicked do and stay away from them. People who do evil don't sleep until their evil is done; they live for their wickedness. Those who are good are the ones who seek to please God. The days are much better for the one who is good than the one who is evil and will end up stumbling. (Proverbs 4:14)

If you get rid of someone who mocks, you will also be getting rid of tension, arguing and fighting (Proverbs 22:10)

If we stray from common sense we will die. (Proverbs 21:16)

Don't envy people who are without God or long to associate with them. (Proverbs 24:1)

Those who lead the righteous people to evil will fall into their own trap. (Proverbs 28:10)

We must have our mindset right to live in this:

You must believe that you have received. You must know that what you want is yours the moment you ask. You must have complete and utter faith.

In the moment you ask and believe and know you already have it in the unseen, the Universe shifts to bring it into the seen. You must act, speak, and think as if you are receiving it now. Why? The universe is a mirror is mirroring back to you your dominant thoughts.

There are cautions:

Matthew 6:19 — Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 13:22 — The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.

Most of our troubles start between our ears. Trying not to create condemnation, but I want you to reach higher than you are today. This might be a start...I hope so.

Faded Glory - worth watching

ALERTS TO THREATS IN EUROPE: BY JOHN CLEESE

John Cleese - British writer, actor and tall person

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved."

Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the

blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level.

A final thought - " Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE HORROR IS THAT IT'S ALL BY DESIGN
THINGS DON'T HAPPEN WITHOUT A PLAN
JUST ASK THE BANKERS WHO KNOW HOW
TO BUY THINGS… SAY LIKE THE US SENATE,
THE US PRESIDENT, AND THE WAR MACHINE

The Drift

The best way to understand all this is to understand the perspective of Gods heart. And how you would think. consider you having a child and your desire for her is to love her, help her give her your best, lead teach her to get to know you and her Dad, her brothers sisters etc within your house.

Now consider your child whom you love at the age of 14 years, beautiful and who is also un-knowledgeable to the world, and vulnerable. She see's every man who smiles at her as innocently liking her and she befriends a house full of rapists or wild men who play to her in experience, ignorance and vulnerabilities .... And they work against you, your house, your love and your best intentions simply to further their lusts and desires while playing to the concept of what she thinks things really are and "HER RIGHTS" to chose what she wants .... HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? ---

God loves HIS creation though not all created will love Him back. He is a Jealous God Like you would be for your own children. God loves it when we seek spiritual things, and knowing THAT is a reality is one of many beginnings. If we know this it is right and logical to seek the Lord first for understanding and wisdom .. WHEN we do we wont just see a spirit, we will SEE it all from the mountain top down along side the Lord. The enemy knows how to distract people on rabbit trails....Just a thought

Jon McNaughton, a painter with a edge for political commentary, has released his latest image: “Obamanation.”
The painting depicts President Barack Obama standing on a podium while around him are artifacts of his term as president thus far: Osama Bin Laden, a Fort Hood tombstone, a trashcan representing the Solyndra scandal, an unemployed man, toilet humor he used at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and more.

McNaughton writes on his website, “I am just one person, a citizen of this country using my first amendment rights to speak out through my art. This is my declaration that we have never had a president do more to harm our country than Barack Obama.”
He describes “Obamanation” as representing ”all the subtle, mindless, radical and dangerous atrocities of the Obama administration” in a single painting.

No stranger to McNaughton’s work, TheBlaze first reported on his “The Forgotten Man” piece in 2010 and then again earlier this year as it was making its round on the Web.
Like all of McNaughton’s works, he has posted his latest image online and made it interactive. Viewers can hover over various elements of the painting and information regarding what it represents pops up. Try it here.
“There are over 60 [symbols] in the painting,” he writes on his website. “No person can analyze this image and learn about these facts and still, in good conscience, vote for Obama in 2012.”
Watch this video to see McNaughton’s development of the piece with voice-over of his thoughts regarding what it represents:

I WROTE A BOOK ABOUT MY STRUGGLES

I was born in one country, raised in another.

My father was born in another country.

I was not his only child.

He fathered several children with numerous women.

I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.

My mother died at an early age from cancer.

Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me,

I later wrote a book idolizing my father, not my mother.

Later in life, questions arose over my real name.

My birth records were sketchy.

No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.

I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity,
as it was widely accepted in my new country,

but I practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn't follow
Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.

I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult,

disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.

That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and embarked on a new career.
I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.

It was clear to those who read my memoirs, that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.

I became active in local politics in my 30s.
Then, with help behind the scenes,

I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything.

I had a virtually non-existent resume,

little work history and no experience in leading a single organization.

Yet I was a powerful speaker,

and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.

I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.

This bolstered my ego.

At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy...

I was very critical of my country in the last war

and seized every opportunity to bash my country.

But what launched my rise to national prominence

were my views on the country's economy.

I pretended to have a really good plan

on how we could do better, and every poor
person would be fed and housed for free.

I knew which group was responsible
for getting us into this mess.

It was the free market, banks and corporations.

I decided to start making citizens hate them;
and, if they became envious of others who did well,

the plan was clinched tight.

I called mine "A People's Campaign." That sounded good to all people.

I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support.

I knew that if I merely offered the people 'hope',

together we could change our country and the
world.

So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor,
ignorant to include "persecuted minorities."

My true views were not widely known, and I kept them unknown until after I became my nation's leader.

I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed if
they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with. I'm glad they didn't.

Then I became the most powerful man in the world.

And then the world learned the truth.

Who am I?

Answer: ADOLPH HITLER.

Not what you thought, right?

If you were thinking of SOMEONE ELSE, you should be scared

... very scared!

IS Obama asking Black Voters to Sell their SOULS to vote for him?

I would be very careful what you do in this election. I think this may be a time when many are going to be weighed in the balance and found wanting. Will God reward you according to your deeds....?

It is not just my opinion, Lloyd Marcus, a man from the community, a man who has earned the right because he shares some of Obama's racial origin and perspective has asked the question I believe MUST be asked. IS Obama asking you to sell your soul to vote for him? Read Lloyd Marcus's article:
A poll claims that Romney will receive zero percent of the black vote.

wake up CHURCH, and smell the coming storm...

Honoring a strong woman


Remember this lady?


Irena Sendler

Died: May 12, 2008 (aged 98)
Warsaw, Poland




During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ulterior motive.

Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried. She also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck, for larger kids.

Irena kept a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto.

The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.

During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants.

Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazi's broke both of her legs and arms and beat her severely.

Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had smuggled out, in a glass jar that she buried under a tree in her back yard.

After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and tried to reunite the family. Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.

In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected.

Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.

Later another politician, Barack Hussein Obama won, for his work as a community organizer for ACORN.

In MEMORIAM - 65 YEARS LATER

It is now more than 65 years since the Second World War in Europe ended.

in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated!

Now, more than ever, with Iran and others claiming the HOLOCAUST to be 'a myth', it's imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again.

This is an interesting bit of news: Communist Party Endorses Obama For 2012. Aaron Klein of the World Net Daily wrote: "It may be early in the campaign season, but the Communist Party USA already has seen fit to endorse Barack Obama for the 2012 election. . . . Sam Webb, chairman of the Communist Party USA, threw his support behind Obama's re-election bid."
So few men have had the opportunity to make such a mark upon history. Neil, you were a great man and will never be forgotten.

The HORROR of Gun Control


If this doesn't open your eyes you must be blind. You're sound asleep when you hear a thump outside your bedroom door.

Half-awake, and nearly paralyzed with fear, you hear muffled whispers.

At least two people have broken into your house and are moving your way.

With your heart pumping, you reach down beside your bed and pick up your shotgun.

You rack a shell into the chamber, then inch toward the door and open it.

In the darkness, you make out two shadows.

One holds something that looks like a crowbar.

When the intruder brandishes it as if to strike, you raise the shotgun and fire.

The blast knocks both thugs to the floor.

One writhes and screams while the second man crawls to the front door and lurches outside.

As you pick up the telephone to call police, you know you're in trouble.

In your country, most guns were outlawed years before, and the few that are privately owned are so stringently regulated as to make them useless..

Yours was never registered.

Police arrive and inform you
that the second burglar has died.

They arrest you for First Degree Murder
and Illegal Possession of a Firearm.

When you talk to your attorney, he tells
you not to worry: authorities will probably plea the case down to manslaughter.

"What kind of sentence will I get?" you ask.

"Only ten-to-twelve years,"
he replies, as if that's nothing.

"Behave yourself, and you'll be out in seven."

The next day, the shooting is the lead
story in the local newspaper.

Somehow, you're portrayed as an eccentric vigilante while the two men you shot are represented as choirboys.

Their friends and relatives can't find
an unkind word to say about them..
Buried deep down in the article, authorities acknowledge that both "victims" have been arrested numerous times.

But the next day's headline says it all:

"Lovable Rogue Son Didn't Deserve to Die."

The thieves have been transformed from career criminals into Robin Hood-type pranksters..

As the days wear on, the story takes wings.

The national media picks it up,
then the international media.

The surviving burglar
has become a folk hero.

Your attorney says the thief is preparing
to sue you, and he'll probably win.

The media publishes reports that your home has been burglarized several times in the past and that you've been critical of local police for their lack
of effort in apprehending the suspects.

After the last break-in, you told your neighbor that you would be prepared next time.

The District Attorney uses this to allege
that you were lying in wait for the burglars.

A few months later, you go to trial.
The charges haven't been reduced,
as your lawyer had so confidently predicted.

When you take the stand, your anger at
the injustice of it all works against you..

Prosecutors paint a picture of you
as a mean, vengeful man.

It doesn't take long for the jury to convict you of all charges.

The judge sentences you to life in prison.

This case really happened.

On August 22, 1999, Tony Martin of Emneth, Norfolk , England , killed one burglar and wounded a second.

In April, 2000, he was convicted
and is now serving a life term..

How did it become a crime to defend one's own life in the once great British Empire ?

It started with the Pistols Act of 1903.
This seemingly reasonable law forbade selling pistols to minors or felons and established that handgun sales were to be made only to those who had a license.
The Firearms Act of 1920 expanded licensing to include not only handguns but all firearms except shotguns..

Later laws passed in 1953 and 1967 outlawed the carrying of any weapon by private citizens and mandated the registration of all shotguns.

Momentum for total handgun confiscation began in earnest after the Hungerford mass shooting in 1987.Michael Ryan, a mentally disturbed man with a Kalashnikov rifle, walked down the streets shooting everyone he saw.

When the smoke cleared, 17 people were dead.

The British public, already de-sensitized by eighty years of "gun control", demanded even tougher restrictions.
(The seizure of all privately owned handguns was the objective even though Ryan used a rifle.)

Nine years later, at Dunblane , Scotland ,
Thomas Hamilton used a semi-automatic weapon to murder 16 children and a teacher at a public school.

For many years, the media had portrayed all gun owners as mentally unstable, or worse, criminals.
Now the press had a real kook with which to beat up law-abiding gun owners.
Day after day, week after week, the media gave up all pretense of objectivity and demanded a total ban on all handguns.
The Dunblane Inquiry, a few
months later, sealed the fate of the
few sidearms
still owned by private citizens.

During the years in which the British government incrementally took away most gun rights, the notion that a citizen had the right to armed self-defense came to be seen as vigilantism.
Authorities refused to grant gun licenses to people who were threatened, claiming that self-defense was no longer
considered a reason to own a gun.
Citizens who shot burglars or robbers or rapists were charged while the real criminals were released.


Indeed, after the Martin shooting, a police spokesman was quoted as saying,
"We cannot have people take the law into their own hands."

All of Martin's neighbors
had been robbed numerous times,
and several elderly people were severely injured in beatings by young thugs
who had no fear of the consequences.
Martin himself, a collector of antiques,
had seen most of his collection
trashed or stolen by burglars.

When the Dunblane Inquiry ended,
citizens who owned handguns
were given three months to turn them over to local authorities.

Being good British subjects,
most people obeyed the law.
The few who didn't were visited by police
and threatened with ten-year prison sentences if they didn't comply.

Police later bragged that they'd taken
nearly 200,000 handguns from private citizens.

How did the authorities know who had handguns?
The guns had been registered and licensed.
Kind of like cars. Sound familiar?


WAKE UP AMERICA; THIS IS WHY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PUT THE SECOND AMENDMENT IN OUR CONSTITUTION.
