Greetings in Jesus!

I can hardly believe it’s already June. The first day of Summer begins later this month yet it snowed here only a week ago!

I must begin by saying THANK YOU SO MUCH to those of you who help keep this ministry going through your prayers and support! Both are needed in this late hour. Especially during these warmer months when so many take off on vacation forgetting the necessity of continued prayer and support to ministries such as this, which never vacate nor experience a vacation.

Food Rationing Has Begun…Got Rice?

In last month’s newsletter I gave a brief rundown on the best case scenario to be in if we were to experience a financial crash as brought out by noted economists as Tom Kerry with Church of God Ministries International and Chuck Missler. I also mentioned it would be wise as part of preparations to try to stock up on some basic non-perishable food items before they become too expensive to buy. Remember, should the crash take place over night as has happened in 1929, this time the dollar may become worth only about two cents. Can’t buy much with two pennies. Especially when something that normally costs one dollar starts to cost about $11.00! This is what happens when you have inflation and deflation at the same time.

One of the signs to look for just before a financial collapse is a restriction of the amount of basic non-perishable food items. Sam’s Club and Costco are now limiting the amount of rice you can buy!

Apparently, someone believes there’s soon to be a food shortage in this country. I’m guessing it’s the government who put these restrictions in place. Rice is at an all time high. It seems everything is going up fast.

So, just how bad is the situation? How for real is this?

If you do a Google search on the internet simply typing in the words, “Sam’s Club and rice limit” you’ll have 621,000 websites pop up. If you do the same thing by typing in the words "America food crisis” you’ll get 2,170,000 web sites pop up.

Still think it's not real?

If you have not yet seen the DVD, “The Future of Food” you need to! It's available for a gift of any amount.

The Great Round-up…

It is interesting to me that in these latter times there appears to be two great round- ups taking place at the same time.

The first, being from our Lord Jesus using those believers He can that are actually doing the Great Commission, bringing souls to Christ, and the other, being the god of this world (Satan) using whatever he can to establish the New World Order for the kingdom of anti-christ.

Both God and Satan are using the technologies in this late hour prophesied by the prophet Daniel concerning knowledge being increased. “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. But thou O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book even to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased”. (Daniel 12:2 - 4)

This prophecy is being fulfilled today! Never before has man had the capabilities of going to and fro all over the earth in great speeds nor has man ever before had the knowledge available today through such means as the internet which has all information and knowledge. Including all translations of the Bible as well as the original Greek and Hebrew. Very helpful for any serious Bible students, pastors or anyone wishing to learn and teach the Word of God.

But it is interesting to me that I just haven’t found many articles by other watchmen for the Church exposing how the internet is being used in this great round-up of those who may be opposing the New World Order.

During Bush’s first four year term, he passed laws so that all telephone conversations could be monitored The justification for this was catching drug cartels but of course, there was a hidden agenda. Later, he used the 9-11 event as justification for this. He did the same with all internet communications. With the stroke of a pen, all of a sudden, big brother with his high tech computers began monitoring all phone conversations, all e-mail use as well as any surfing of the net. Every time we go to certain web-sites, it's monitored and recorded.

Think about it. For a very long time, we’ve had the telephone. All local calls have been free, or at least covered with our basic monthly charge. But when dialing long distance, it’s extra. Five cents, seven cents, ten cents, twelve cents a minute or more. But now, all of a sudden, with the internet, still using all of these same telephone lines, we’re allowed to be on line anywhere in our city, county, state, out of state or world wide if we wish? 24 hours a day? 7 days a week? And it’s free? Now why do you suppose they would be so kind to do this? After all, even if the telephone companies would be so kind to lower their prices to as little as one penny per minute for internet use for everyone, they’d still be making at least a billion dollars a day for the use of their lines. Anyone with common sense could figure out there’s a much bigger picture here!

Does Bush use e-mail? On May 14th, oddly enough the 60th anniversary of Israel becoming a nation, Headline News reported that President Bush was looking forward to being able to e-mail again and that he has not used e-mail during his terms in office because of possible leaks. Now if the President of the United States knows e-mail is not secure and being monitored, shouldn’t we?

Now I know there’s still some skeptics out there thinking, no, something like this could never have taken place! After all, America is a great nation! A nation of freedom! A nation of the people’s rights including our right of privacy! This would be unconstitutional! This would be absurd! We would never come to the ideals that took place in Nazi Germany!

No? First of all, history does repeat itself. And there have been attempts to establish a New World Order. Hitler was just one of many. He actually called it the New World Order! But it was stopped. As will the current attempt. And this one is actually written in Scripture! In Daniel chapter two we are given the account of this. We are shown all the major kingdoms of this world and if you notice, in that dream of Nebuchadnezzar, there was this great image. It had a head of gold, a chest of silver, a stomach of brass, legs of iron and feet and toes of iron mixed with clay. Then this great boulder fell from heaven and smote the feet of this great image. The great image came crashing down into nothing. Then the boulder (or rock) grew and grew until it was the size of the whole earth. Who is this rock? Who is the rock of ages? Who is the rock of our salvation? This of course is Jesus Christ! This is the second coming of Christ. God Himself will put an end to this current New World Order being set up. That’s the good news!

The bad news? Hitler got away with quite a bit. History tells us he murdered over 6 million Jews. More recent discoveries report it was much much higher than this. And if time is allowed to endure, the same type of thing could take place on a much higher scale world wide. And remember, a big part of this current New World Order’s plan is to bring the population down world wide to only 20% of what it is now! This is why the great round up is being used now through the monitoring and recording of data of all individuals. And for those who are not saved, not been born- gain, they will experience this. But what about the Church? Again, we don’t know just how far this current New World Order will get before the rapture of the Church.

The good news… There is the rapture of the Church! This is to take place seven years before the second coming of Christ. This seven year period is known as the tribulation period. The last three and a half year period is referred to as the (Great) Tribulation. Things get much worse. Those true born-again Christians who do not believe in a pre-tribulation rapture will be raptured anyway. A nice surprise! This period is a time of God’s wrath being poured out on a Christ-rejecting world. Scripture tells us we (the Church) are not subject to God’s wrath. “Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” (Romans 5:9)

There shall be earthquakes in diverse places…. Matt. 24:7

At the time of this writing, Memorial Day, the toll from the Chinese earthquakes has reached over 67,000 deaths so far and it keeps rising daily due to aftershocks and a multitude of domino effect problems, branching out into so many areas of more deaths that it is impossible to report. We may never know the actual count.

The following is from a May 27 online article by the BBC news:

The official death toll from the 12 May quake in Sichuan province is 67,183. About 20,790 people are listed as missing, with more than five million people homeless since the earthquake. Two more aftershocks, one measuring magnitude 5.7, destroyed more than 420,000 homes. About 30 towns, approximately 150,000 people, are being evacuated because a lake is forming as a result of the quakes and aftershocks, and officials fear it will burst its banks and flood the area.

Please do pray that our Lord will intervene in this terrible time for China. While China does have an underground Church, most of China is lost. It is very likely that almost all of those who have died as well as those still to die are going to hell for all eternity.

The Mormon Dilemma…

Still day by day after all these weeks it is still reported on the news about this fundamentalist Mormon group in Texas where they have found over 40 broken bones among the children, many very young girls who were forced into marriage with much older men and I continue to weep. Not only for those within this group but also for the millions of Mormons who are also still lost.

I know what the mainstream Mormon church is saying of this. They’re saying things like, Well, they are not a part of us! Those are the fundamentalists. We’re the regular and real Mormons. HOGWASH! Both groups are lost! I was raised in the Mormon church before I got saved! I have dedicated my life to reaching out to those in Mormonism as well as those in many other cult groups. I can’t tell you how many times when I was a Mormon how I practiced over and over again those non-thinking words of the bearing of my testimony. “I bear you my testimony that the Mormon church is true and that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God”. Every Mormon knows these words without thinking. And that’s just it. Without thinking! They never really checked it out! This is a common practice of brainwashing! The same is used in Catholicism with the repeating of the rosary.

Both groups of Mormonism believe their founder Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God and he was the one who stated and was recorded in D & C section 132 that a man MUST have more than one wife at the same time or he will go to hell for all eternity! It also states this is an Everlasting Covenant! What are you going to do about that, my Mormon friends and relatives?

Recently, I attended a church in Manitou Springs, Colorado to see a play and meet the Christian actress who performs many biblical and historical figures who also receives this newsletter, has listened to my broadcast for years and had invited me to come. Afterwards, while meeting with her and the pastor of this historic church, the topic of Mormonism came up along with my ministry. You wouldn’t believe how fast this pastor began standing up for the Mormons! This is typical!

Can you see what I’m up against? Not only the cults, but also the Pastors of Christian churches! I wept all the way home to my cabin.

Truly, all Mormons are caught in a dilemma of Mormon doctrine. Especially now as Mormonism has been brought to the forefront in the news each day for so long now. I feel God has gone to the extreme for those caught up in this cult. What the Lord has done is equivalent of smacking them on the side of their head with a 2X4 to get their attention. Yet because of their not thinking for themselves and not knowing the Word of God, this is still not enough. You guys, if you’re not thinking too much of yourselves and are actually thinking and caring for the lost, can do something in this late hour. There are tools to reach these lost. The main tool is you! There are also DVDs such as The Mormon Dilemma, DVA vs. The Book of Mormon, Scientific Proof Against the Book of Mormon, and Lifting the Veil of Polygamy. Any of these are available for a gift of any amount this month. Just be sure to do something with them!

Are You A Christian? Are You in Full Time Ministry?

It seems a strange thing happens to people in America when they get saved. They know they just had a born-again experience but they don’t know what to do next. So often, they figure they should do what the other Christians are doing so they can be the same.

And here is where the problem lies. Instead of looking to the Scriptures to learn what to do next, they look at these other Christians. What a bad move! No, it wouldn’t be so bad if all these other Christians had looked to the Scriptures as soon as they got saved but unfortunately, most of them looked to the Christians around them to see what they were to do next.

What do the Scriptures say?

Well, here we have a situation where Jesus goes to the beach and finds a couple of fishermen…

And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he said unto them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. ( Matt 4:18-22)

Note the underlined words “straightway” and “immediately”. These guys just dropped what they were doing and followed Jesus! That was it! They just dropped their nets! And this was just four of these guys! There were eight more. They all had a job, tax collecting or whatever, but they all quit what they were doing and went into full time ministry! And if you read on in Matt. Chapter 4, you’ll see that they immediately started experiencing all kinds of miracles with Jesus. Healings, casting out demons, etc. What a change from what they were doing!

Now, you might be thinking, Yeah, but this was when Jesus called them individually in person. So, what do you think happened when Jesus saved you? Wasn’t it individual? Weren't you called? Of course it was individual! Of course you were called. Called for what? The Great Commission! When Jesus gave this Great Commission to His disciples, that was just the beginning. There’s not one person who has ever been saved since then that Jesus hasn’t given the same commission to. This means you and I, too! So, are you in full time ministry???

You’re starting to rationalize now aren’t you. You’re trying to rationalize what you do in your profession and somehow link it up with your own calling from the Lord. Oops, we have a problem here… Remember, all these guys dropped their nets or whatever else they were doing and followed Jesus!

And there have been many many people who got saved since then and dropped whatever they were doing and began the Great Commission too. Whatever capacity they were in at that time, large or small, they stopped, then started something new. And great shall their rewards be in heaven for all eternity!

It’s not easy to go into full time ministry doing the Great Commission. You must leave everything behind.

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me. He that finds his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it." (Matt 10:34-39)

So, is it too late? It is a late hour but is it too late for you? Let’s take a look at Jesus’ teachings concerning the workers in the vineyard.

"For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And says unto them; Go all of you also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and says unto them, Why stand all of you here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man has hired us. He says unto them, Go all of you also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall all of you receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard says unto his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and you have made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do you no wrong: did not you agree with me for a penny? Take that yours is, and go your way: I will give unto this last, even as unto you." (Matt 20:1-14)

Good news! It’s not too late! Now perhaps you feel you can never drop everything and start the Great Commission. Or maybe you did start out leaving everything and everyone behind and was doing the Great Commission, but later got caught up in the things of this world and just can’t drop everything now. Scripturally, you will lose out on some eternal treasures but you can still consider yourself in full time ministry now because the calling for this has never changed. Only you have. It would be wise to do all you can in your job, profession and any other aspect in your life remembering that you have been called into full time ministry.

Have You Witnessed to a Witness Lately?

When was the last time you had a couple of Jehovah’s Witnesses at your door? Or perhaps talked with one at your workplace or wherever? Did you witness to the Witness? Please remember that these people are not the enemy. They are victims of the enemy. They are lost and you are God’s servant to reach out to them.

Need a crash course on how they think and how to witness to them? There are two DVDs that are great for this! The Witness at Your Door & The Witness Goes Out. Both are available for a gift of any amount this month!

WANTED!

My 70’s dual tape deck used for making radio programs finally gave up and I’m looking for another one. Maybe you have one. Or maybe you know where I can get one. I’d be happy to pay well. They don’t make what I need anymore. It simply needs to have jacks in the front to plug in headphones and a microphone. Stereo or mono mic is fine. Especially if the dual deck has the capability to adjust the volume when copying from deck A to deck B! Please, please let me know if you know where I can get one. And don’t think someone else will do this because they’re thinking the same thing. Thanks!

Can’t catch the broadcast?

The broadcast is only about 15 minutes long but you can get everything I air cheap! If you were part of the 30 Club in May you would have received 4 DVDs! Normally $20.00 each! They were: Lifting The Veil of Polygamy, Living Off the Power Grid With Solar, Martial Law: 9-11, and Global Warning! $80.00 worth of DVDs for only $30.00! Just a dollar a day! And you’d really be helping this ministry! Guess what? You still can! Send in $30.00 now and ask to be put on the 30 Club starting with last month’s items and you’ll get them. Then sometime this month you’ll be sent another set of everything aired this month. I only know about the first week so far and it’s a great CD entitled: Doctrines of Demons dealing with Catholicism with Mike Gendron! So let me know when you write if you’d like to join.

What’s a Bump Key?

This is something that used to be only known by a few bad guys in crime but because of the internet, multitudes have learned about this and it’s now obtainable to anyone for just a few dollars. It looks like a typical key but can be used to open almost any lock including your home, car, or pretty much anything else. This has been reported on the mainstream news and is all over the internet.

There are ways to change your locks. This too is on the internet. Simply do a word search with the words, “bump key”.

About Those Gas Prices…

As you probably know, pretty much every day we hear on the news that gas is at an all time high. I don’t want to blame everything on the New World Order but I believe it has no small part to play.

I have heard everything from $6.00-$10.00 a gallon by the end of summer. The domino effect from oil hits everything!

Looks like the financial collapse is on schedule.

Wind Generators…

I’ve been looking for a good DVD on wind generators but I haven’t found one yet. When I do, I’ll let you know.

But I did find a great website on the topic that talks about everything from large scale commercial use to something as simple as an old car alternator attached to a propeller you can make from PVC pipe or wood. The propeller spins the alternator which already produces 12 volts. You see how bright the headlights on your car is, that’s 12 volts. Run the two wires down from the alternator to any 12 volt car battery for storage. More batteries can be attached for more storage and more power. Can also be converted to a 110 to plug things into. Check out the website at: www.windgenzen.com.

Want a Cheap Greenhouse…?

We may need to think seriously about growing our own food. In last month’s newsletter I mentioned all the things we grew on only one acre in my youth. But where I live now, in the high country of Colorado, this would be impossible. Too cold, too many hail storms and too short of a growing season. A greenhouse would be needed. But have you priced them? WOW! And how much food can you grow in even a 10X12 greenhouse? Not much! But wait a minute… You don’t need to have one big enough to walk into. They only need to be as high as the plants you’re growing!

Here’s what you do. Get some PVC pipe. You know, that white bendable stuff. Maybe 10-12 feet long. Get the smaller easy-to-bend kind so you can bend it into a U shape. Picture a covered wagon. Instead of using canvas, use plastic. It must be UV protected or otherwise it will not last long. Bend the PVC pipe into the U shape and stick in the ground. Cover with the plastic. Your mini greenhouse will be about 4-5 feet high. Plenty high enough to grow tomatoes and much more! You can open and close the ends to regulate heat and air movement. You can make dozens of these for a fraction of the price of a greenhouse!

Ending Note...

A little while back, I talked with Larry Bates with News and Views. Used to be Unveiling the New World Order. One of the first things he said to me was: “We’re living in perilous times my friend.” Ya know, he’s right! And its only going to get more crazy. But as I’ve said before, I’ve read the end of the book and we win! Thank you ever so much to those of you who help keep this ministry going through your prayers and gifts of support! Both are greatly needed.

 

 

Yours because His:
