Greetings in Jesus!

First, thank you so much to those of you who support this ministry through your prayers and gifts of support! Without you and God’s grace and mercy, this ministry would have been gone long ago.

So much is happening so fast, but I thought I should start with what’s soon to take place with Arizona.

Arizona, Mexico and the New World Order

Since the Cultivate broadcast started in Arizona, many of you have responded and are now getting this newsletter. This might be for a reason.

It was back in 2006 when I first brought out the New World Order’s plan to drop the borders between the United States, Mexico and Canada. At that time, their mandate was 2010. Sometimes things get pushed back because the Church is still here and the Holy Spirit continues to hinder things due to the Church’s presence.

You think we have problems in our public schools? For a long time now, the public schools in Mexico have been teaching that the United States ripped off Mexico for three states: California, Arizona, and Texas. This is why there been so much animosity between the two countries. Generations of Mexican citizens have been taught things won’t get right until they take these areas back. They believe these areas belong to them!

Now, we've already seen the turmoil that’s taken place simply because Arizona started reinforcing the illegal alien situation. Many other states plan to do the same thing. Now are you ready for this?

In a couple of months, there will be a new film release on Labor Day weekend. It’s called: “Machete.” You know, the long heavy knife. The trailer for this film was released during Cinco de Mayo.

This film is likely to trigger off major racial riots and killings in the United States, but especially starting in Arizona. The film is about a Mexican patriot who’s been wronged by American secret service and now he and his followers are crossing the border to get revenge. He wears a long dark coat, which when opened up reveals his weapons of choice. It’s full of machetes! And that’s not all! In the trailer of this film there’s a zoom-in to his face as he says, “This is a message to Arizona!” So you can just imagine what’s going to take place when this film is released. Multitudes of Hispanics, some on the Mexico side of the border but many already here, are going to try to take back Arizona! They won’t all be using machetes, either. Guns will be used as well. This won’t just stop in Arizona, either. Remember, they’ve been taught they also own California and Texas. Now Texas might not be as susceptible as Arizona because just about everyone in Texas owns a gun. I’ve heard there’s more guns in Texas than people! But of course, a part of the NWO plan is to take all guns out of the hands of all Americans.

Now enters New Mexico. I believe New Mexico will also feel an impact when this film is released. After all, it’s the New Mexico, right?

Many of you in Arizona have told me how bad it already is there and how it’s not being reported on the news. Now I’m reporting to you, when this film comes out things might get much worse! You might want to pray accordingly.

One must wonder, is this a part of the NWO boys' plan to drop the border between the United States and Mexico?

For a free copy of Alex Jones YouTube about the trailer on DVD format, simply ask for one when you write, and share it with others!

Christian Patriotism?

The question arises, were the founding fathers of this nation Christians, or were they Freemasons with a NWO agenda? The answer is both! And it’s pretty hard to distinguish between the two. But when looking at how Washington D.C. was laid out and the many Masonic symbols throughout that city, and what we see on the back of our dollar bill and the way this nation is headed right now, I’d have to say the Freemasons were way more in power than we’d like to think.

But since we do celebrate Independence Day this month, even though many now look at it as Fireworks Day, I thought I’d share with you a few quotes from our founding fathers.

Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of The Declaration of Independence were orthodox, deeply committed Christians? The other three all believed in the Bible as the divine truth, the God of scripture, and His personal intervention.

It is the same congress that formed the American Bible Society. Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of scripture for the people of this nation.

Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words, 'Give me liberty or give me death." But in current textbooks the context of these words is deleted. Here is what he said: “An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle, sir, is not of the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death."

These sentences have been erased from our textbooks.

Was Patrick Henry a Christian? The following year, 1776, he wrote this: “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here."

Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote on the front of his well-worn Bible: “I am a Christian, that is to say a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator and, I hope, to the pure doctrine of Jesus, also."

Consider these words from George Washington, the Father of our Nation, in his farewell speech September 19, 1796:

“It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible. Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, our religion and morality are the indispensable supporters. Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that our national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”

Was George Washington a Christian? Consider these words from his personal prayer book: “Oh, eternal and everlasting God, direct my thoughts, words and work. Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the lamb and purge my heart by the Holy Spirit. Daily, frame me more and more in the likeness of thy son, Jesus Christ, that living in thy fear, and dying in thy favor, I may in thy appointed time obtain the resurrection of the justified unto eternal life. Bless, O Lord, the whole race of mankind and let the world be filled with the knowledge of thy son, Jesus Christ.”

Consider these words by John Adams, our second President, who also served as chairman of the American Bible Society. In an address to military leaders he said, "We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

How about our first Court Justice, John Jay? He stated that when we select our national leaders, if we are to preserve our Nation, we must select Christians. "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian Nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."

John Quincy Adams, son of John Adams, was the sixth U.S. President. He was also the chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role. On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, “The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."

Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States, reaffirmed this truth when he wrote, “The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country."

In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: “The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools."

William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was used for over 100 years in our public schools with over 125 million copies sold until it was stopped in 1963. President Lincoln called him the “Schoolmaster of the Nation."

Listen to these words of Mr. McGuffey: “The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our notions on character of God, on the great moral Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free institutions. From no source has the author drawn more conspicuously than from the sacred Scriptures. From all these extracts from the Bible I make no apology."

Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first: Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook, rule number one was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they could study the scriptures:

“Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning. And seeing the Lord only giveth wisdom, let everyone seriously set himself by prayer in secret to seek it of him (Proverbs 2:3)."

For over 100 years, more than 50% of all Harvard graduates were pastors!

It is clear from history that the Bible and the Christian faith, were foundational in our educational and judicial system. However in 1947, there was a radical change of direction in the Supreme Court.

Here is the prayer that was banished:

“Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence on Thee. We beg Thy blessings upon us and our parents and our teachers and our country. Amen."

In 1963, the Supreme Court ruled that Bible reading was outlawed as unconstitutional in the public school system. The court offered this justification: “If portions of the New Testament were read without explanation, they could and have been psychologically harmful to children."

Bible reading was now unconstitutional, though the Bible was quoted 94 percent of the time by those who wrote our Constitution and shaped our Nation and its system of education and justice and government.

In 1965, the Courts denied as unconstitutional the rights of a student in the public school cafeteria to bow his head and pray audibly for his food.

In 1980, Stone vs. Graham outlawed the Ten Commandments in our public schools. The Supreme Court said this: “If the posted copies of the Ten Commandments were to have any effect at all, it would be to induce school children to read them. And if they read them, meditated upon them, and perhaps venerated and observed them, this is not a permissible objective."

Is it not a permissible objective to allow our children to follow the moral principles of the Ten Commandments?

James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the United States, said this: “We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."

Today we are asking God to bless America. But how can He bless a Nation that has departed so far from Him?

Most of what you read in this article has been erased from our textbooks. Revisionists have rewritten history to remove the truth about our country's Christian roots.

Andy Rooney's Comments on the 10 Commandments

As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view ... it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments!

DID YOU KNOW? As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.

DID YOU KNOW? As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see on the wall, right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!

DID YOU KNOW? There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.

DID YOU KNOW? James Madison, the fourth president, known as “The Father of Our Constitution”, made the following statement: “We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.”

DID YOU KNOW? Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.

DID YOU KNOW? Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies.

DID YOU KNOW? Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law, would begin making law; an oligarchy...the rule of few over many. How then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 232 years in this country is now suddenly "wrong and unconstitutional"?

It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, it is very hard to understand why there is such a mess about having the Ten Commandments on display or “In God We Trust” on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance...

During the last week of June and ushering in July, I’m airing something never aired before, entitled: America’s Occult Holidays with Doc Marquis.

He spends some time looking at our 4th of July, as well as the beginning of the Illuminati in this country, also in 1776. This is an in-depth DVD and is available for a gift of any amount this month. Simply ask for America’s Occult Holidays.

Some Interesting Percentages…

VERY INTERESTING! The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is... a real life business, not a government job. Here are the percentages:

T. Roosevelt..........38%
Taft .....................40%
Wilson .................52%
Harding ................49%
Coolidge ...............48%
Hoover ..................42%
F. Roosevelt ...........50%
Truman ..................50%
Eisenhower..............57%
Kennedy .................30%
Johnson ..................47%
Nixon ......................53%
Ford ........................42%
Carter ......................32%
Reagan ....................56%
GH Bush....................51%
Clinton .....................39%
GW Bush....................55%

And the winner is..............Obama.................8%!!!

Yep! That's right! Only eight percent! The least by far of the last 19 presidents!! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what's best for GM... Chrysler... Wall Street... and you and me?

How can the president of a major nation and society...the one with the most successful economic system in world history... stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one?.. Or about jobs when he has never really had one??!

And neither have 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers..! They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs... or as "community organizers"... When they should have been in an employment line.

MAY GOD HELP US!

 

The Mystery of Contemplative Prayer…

There’s yet a new apostasy being called “revival” sweeping the Church. It goes by a few names but it seems the main one is Contemplative Prayer. This started in the Catholic church but because of this push for unity, it has gotten into mainstream Christian circles and is becoming the new “deeper thing”, which in reality brings people into new age occultism.

This is when you pick out a particular word in prayer and focus deeply upon it. It could even be the name, “Jesus”, but then after a period of chanting it or just meditation of it, this is to bring you into a place where God can talk to you in “special ways”. Problem is, oftentimes it doesn’t line up with the written Word of God!

I’m hoping to air this sometime this month but if you’d like a copy now, it’s available on a DVD for a gift of any amount. Simply ask for the DVD entitled: The Mystery of Contemplative Prayer.

You Want Extreme?

By Winkie Pratney

Fire or a fan. Get hot or cold. He's not interested in anything in between. Just as all computer code breaks down to a 0 or a 1, it's either one or the other. We haven't yet learned that obedience in Scripture is digital. (Only learning is analog.)

With God, doing what He says is either yes or no, never something in between. The guts and the glory of the gospel are tied directly to this kind of expected surrender. When Jesus speaks to people, He talks to them as if He expects them to leave everything and follow Him.

Poor Mrs. Zacchaeus. She looks out the window one day to see Jesus and the twelve disciples walking up the path toward her house, with her husband running just a few steps ahead. “Guess who’s coming to lunch!” he says excitedly. She’s excited too, but for a totally different reason.

As he comes into the kitchen, she gives him that look that every husband knows and hisses at him, “Zach! Are you crazy?! What do you mean inviting Jesus and the disciples for lunch without even bothering to tell me?” Then she shifts gears. “Oh, come in Jesus! It’s so nice to see you.” Then to Zach under her breath, “Why didn’t you tell me He was coming?”

“I didn’t invite Him,” says Zacchaeus. “He just invited Himself” (see Luke 19:5).

Who is this Jesus? He walks up to people who are just minding their own business and, without so much as an introduction, He calls them out of it forever. His sermon is not even a “threepointer” – just two words: “Follow Me.” And how does He carry out the delicate task of follow-up and care for the new convert? Take a guess. “Follow Me.”

Who is this Jesus? He talks as if He owns the whole universe! He speaks as if what you do with what He says will be the most important thing you ever do in life. Who is this Jesus? He talks like He’s God or something.

You want extreme?

He told the rich young ruler to sell all he had and give it to the poor, that he would have treasure in heaven and to follow Him. The rich young ruler didn’t and dropped out of history (see Luke 18:18-23).

He told the woman at the well that if she drank the water He offered her she would never thirst again. She did, went back to her village and brought half of those who knew her back to Him (see John 4:1- 42).

He told a deeply religious man, Nicodemus, that unless he was born again he would never see the kingdom of God. Nick braved the censure of his peers and discovered a new life (see John 3:1-8, 50).

He told those who followed Him that unless they ate His flesh and drank His blood they could have no part in Him. It is not recorded whether or not they thought He meant it only metaphorically or whether they thought He actually called them to be cannibals, but it is recorded that from that time, many went back and walked with Him no more (see John 6:48-66).

He told Peter, His disciple, exactly how He was going to die and then said, “Follow Me.” Listen to His words: “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me” (Luke 9:23).

He said there are only two roads, one that leads to heaven and the other that leads to hell, and that only a few would take the straight and narrow road, while many would head for the broad way (See Matthew 7:13).

He said that you could tell a tree by its fruit and that no normal tree puts out a mixture of good and bad fruit, no matter what theologians or psychiatrists may say (see Luke 6:43,44).

He told stories about sheep and lost sons to sinners who loved Him (see Luke 15) and asked religious leaders unanswered questions that made them angry (see Matthew 12:12-14).

He said a poor lady’s last coin was worth more than a whole wad a rich man dropped into the collection plate (see Luke 21:1- 4), and that a weeping hooker would be remembered for wasting her life’s savings to pour perfume over His feet (see Mark 14:3-9).

He broke up every funeral He ever attended by raising the corpse from the dead. He raised a dead boy, a little girl, then a man who had been dead three whole days (see Luke 7:12-15; 8:41-56, John 11:11-44).

Then He did it all over again at His own funeral, even though the Romans had posted a guard and the religious leaders had sealed the grave with a boulder.

You want extreme?

No one in history ever was born like Jesus, lived like Jesus, talked like Jesus and loved like Jesus. Not even His enemies could find fault with Him. He defies comparison, because there is nobody else you can put in His class. Period. He split history in half. He not only claimed to be God, but showed His kingdom every way you can ask to anyone who really wanted to see it. When you come to Jesus, He doesn’t give you options or alternatives, just a core decision: “Follow Me.”

If you do, you are a disciple.

If you don’t, you drop off the map forever.

And that, my friend, is extreme.

 

Bionic Band Update

Linda here – I just had a booth at a local Farmers Market selling Bionic Bands. One lady came back after about 10 minutes, very emotional because the pain in her legs and feet was gone, and she could move her ankles normally once again. Another lady was able to lift her arm all the way up when wearing her band, but without the band could only lift it half-way. The amazement on her face was beautiful!

We didn't need another income source, and I certainly didn't need still more to do with my time, but I thank God for this opportunity to help people have less pain and better lives!

If you haven't done so yet, call the 800 number and listen to the messages about the Bionic Band. It is truly amazing!

Ending Note…

Again, I just want to thank all of you who support this ministry through your prayers and gifts of support. Really! It's summer now and many take off on vacations or are just out doing other things and so both prayers and financial support drops off. But with so many things happening so fast right now, both prayers and support are absolutely needed all the more! Again, thank you so much! If there's anything I can do to help you in your individual ministries, do let me know.

 

Yours because His:
Jim
