PROPHETIC WORD…THE END TIME CLOCK IS TICKING

Guest Author July 10th, 2010

This morning while praying, God told me: “My child, the end-time clock
is ticking…and it will come to pass what is unavoidable…no one can
stop or prevent it from happening.” And further on the Lord said to me:
“My coming is very close at hand, know the signs and be prepared…”

“The markets worldwide will come crumbling down, raw materials and
gasoline will become scarce, and there will be famines and unrests in
the western world. The old world economic powers will be seized by
chaos. This scenario will become much more terrifying, as you may have
seen it in any science fiction film. In the Near Eastern countries there
will be an explosion like you have never seen before. The entire world
will experience an outbreak of panic…”

And then the Lord told me: “However you, My children, must not be afraid
of all these storms and clouds of darkness. I still am in total control
over everything and have the last Word and all that are MINE will I
protect and will bring them to a secure place at the last possible
moment.”

He kept on saying: “Look at all My messages that I have given you in the
past. I am not doing anything without early warnings. They are just like
a chain of pearls, they replenish each other and shall function as ample
preparations for the grand inferno to come. You already have received
early warnings, hence there is no reason for you to be surprised and
terrified as everything has to come to pass for that the mighty and
particularly the masses will see and realize that it is I who is in
charge in this world, says the Lord.

You, as the ones that belong to Me, that have obeyed my Word I will
protect Myself. I will give you strength on a daily basis, indeed will
strengthen you daily, will guide and supply you with all that you are in
need of to survive. In these critical times you will indeed and very
obviously realize that I am with you at all times and that you can count
on Me and my promises.

Because you are the chosen ones and have been prepared for this and the
“Thereafter”. When all of this will be over (has happened), your great
life moment will come and you will enter into your calling and will
fulfill my tasks that I have prepared you for. Therefore, My children,
be steadfast, keep strong and unwavering never being shaken by no one.
My child, only look up to Me, count only on Me and you will begin to
live a total different life already here on earth. The world is
frightful for you, but be of good cheer, for I have conquered the world.
My promises will stand and hold true, says the Lord!”

Hand Grain Mills

Guest Author April 29th, 2010

A manual hand grain mill is an integral part of your food storage. It is very important for times when power is lost, be it a weather event or global crisis. Grinding wheat and beans and even the ability to make nut butters is all possible with a hand mill. I want to talk about two of the highest rated hand grain mills. The first is the Country Living Mill (CLM) which costs $400. Occasionally, you can purchase a slightly cosmetically blemished mill from the manufacturer for $350. The CLM is the highest rated mill on the market and is known for its durability and quick milling speed and it offers options such as the “Power Bar” which help ease the task of milling. The second was the Wonder Mill Jr. (WMJ) which costs $170. The WMJ is a produced by reputable company and is considered a quality economical mill designed more for occasional emergency use.

I recently had the opportunity to test the CLM and WMJ side by side, to compare the milling speeds and consistency of flour. The CLM produced a little over one cup of flour per minute compared to the WMJ which took twice as long. But even at two minutes per cup, when compared to the price, the WMJ is still outstanding. This test was performed with each mill producing fine flour with a powder consistency. If more course flour is acceptable, the milling times will be reduced.

Another point to consider when choosing a mill is whether you intend to use it for nut butters. The CLM does not currently have the nut butter capability, but representatives from the company said they are in the process of creating a mechanism for nut butters. The WMJ on the other hand has the capability of nut butters with the purchase additional burr (bringing the cost to $220) . During my test, I produced two to three tablespoons of nut butter in about five minutes. This would be a real chore to get a jar of butter complete, but it would be possible. **

Each mill is also capable of producing ground popcorn for corn meal and beans for soups or breads.

To summarize, either mill would be a fine addition to any pantry for people who intend to process whole foods at home. And there are many types of mills on the market, but the CLM and WMJ are both constructed of a strong cast metal as opposed to other mills, which rely on plastic parts. Also, inferior mills may have slower milling speeds, require more work and may not even produce fine flour without re-milling the flour. Below are some links to the manufactures websites to view the mills and/or purchase them. As with anything, do your research, call the companies and find the best bargain that the internet has to offer.

**And as a side note, I was also informed that the WMJ is set to release an updated and improved version of their popular mill at the end of 2010.

Evacuation Reminder

John Havener March 29th, 2010

Recently I was in Mobile, Alabama for some training as an independent contractor for FEMA. I had to return home on Interstate 10 and crossed the Mobile Bay Bridge on the interstate. There was some kind of wreck up ahead and a bridge crossing that should have taken 10 to 15 minutes took about an hour. Traffic stopped, or crawled, and was backed up for miles. Anyone living in hurricane territory understands how terribly jammed up highways, especially interstates, can be when large numbers try to evacuate. You can literally be trapped on the interstate with no way to get off, get gas, go to the restroom, et cetera. It is not a good place to be, and those that have been there do not want to go back again!

A cardinal rule for evacuating is that you must evacuate early to reduce the probability of getting snared up and trapped in traffic. Of course, is very helpful to know where you’re going. Do you have a destination, an agreement with family or friends, that in the event of a crisis you can evacuate to their situation? Do you know different ways to get there, and do you have at least a half a tank of gas in your vehicle now? The answers to these questions can make the difference between a safe arrival at a safe place and sheer misery or worse. Plan ahead!

…the coming persecution

John Havener March 29th, 2010

Yesterday a dear friend called me from the Minneapolis area.  He had gone to church at Bethany fellowship.  Bethany is an outstanding missions sending organization that for around 50 years has been for facilitating the advance of the gospel.  At the conclusion of the yesterday’s church service the pastor interviewed a man before the congregation.  The man had spent years at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City and then then did missions work in Egypt and North Africa.  Near the end of the interview, according to my friend, he said that God had ordered him back to the United States and to Bethany in particular to teach the people how to prepare for the coming persecution.

Is persecution coming to the Christians in the United States?  In my view, it is highly likely, unless prevailing, overcoming prayer and wise action is taken by a substantial number of God’s people.  Over the past years Christians have been consistently characterized by the media and entertainment industries as idiots, a drag on social progress, and most recently that Bible believing Christians are terrorists or potential terrorists.  Some believe that there’s a definite plan to try to provoke “Christians” into some sort of violent action so that physical reprisals and repressions can be justified against them.  Obviously I don’t know, and we don’t know for sure.  But the Spirit of God seems to be clearly sent that the times are crucial and that intense prayer needs to be made to the living God to prevent an explosion of persecution.

 One of the characteristics of persecution is that it can begins suddenly and with great ferocity.  In recent times the famous “Kristallnacht” in Nazi Germany launched a blistering persecution of the Jews, all backed up by new Nazi laws and a Nazi dominated police apparatus.  Consider also the experience of early Christians…

On that day a severe persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout the land of Judea and Samaria. But devout men buried Stephen and mourned deeply over him. Saul, however, was ravaging the church, and he would enter house after house, drag off men and women, and put them in prison.

 

(Act 8:1-3)

 What to do?  Pray and pray hard that some sort of Antichrist tyranny will not be established over us in our land. It could come either from the right or left. We also need to resensitize ourselves to the leading of the Holy Spirit… you do not want to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and the Holy Spirit will help you not go there.  This is not a time to be careless in our walk.  A recurring theme on this site is to be prepared enough that you don’t have to go out among the panicked or angry masses to try to aquire you need to survive.  I have felt a great urgency in my spirit to to steadily do what we can with the resources you have.  I don’t believe I’m exaggerating by saying you could wake up tomorrow with a collapsed economy or a worthless dollar  or a new and severe envioronment of persecution… too late to make any preparations! Pray…and act.

Who are you,really?

John Havener November 13th, 2009

(This is a handout that goes with the podcast by the same name…If you have received Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior from sin…this is who you really are!)

through faith in Jesus Christ!!!

1. I am a Child of GOD

Gal 3:26

for you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

1Jn 3:1-2

Look at how great a love the Father has given us, that we should be called God’s children. And we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it didn’t know Him. (2) Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is.

2. I am a chosen, dearly loved, fully forgiven Child !!!

Eph 1:4-5

for He chose us in Him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love (5) He predestined us to be adopted through Jesus Christ for Himself, according to His favor and will,

1Pe 2:9

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Eph 5:1-2

.

Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children. (2) And walk in love, as the Messiah also loved us and gave Himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

3. I am an heir of God and joint-heir with Jesus Christ!!!

Rom 8:16-17

The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children, (17) and if children, also heirs–heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ–seeing that we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

Gal 4:6-7

And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!” (7) So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

4. I am in God’s Kingdom, a citizen of Heaven!!!

Php 3:20

but our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Col 1:12-13

giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the saints’ inheritance in the light. (13) He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son He loves,

5. I am alive with Christ and have begun eternal life!!!

Col 2:13

And when you were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive with Him and forgave us all our trespasses.

Joh 5:24

“I assure you: Anyone who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.

6. I am a new creation, God’s workmanship, with a new self created to be like Him!!!

Eph 2:10

For we are His creation–created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them.

Eph 4:24

you put on the new man, the one created according to God’s likeness in righteousness and purity of the truth.

2Co 5:17

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.

7. I am a Temple of God and Christ lives in Me!!!

1Co 3:16-17

Don’t you know that you are God’s sanctuary and that the Spirit of God lives in you? (17) If anyone ruins God’s sanctuary, God will ruin him; for God’s sanctuary is holy, and that is what you are.

Col 1:27

God wanted to make known to those among the Gentiles the glorious wealth of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.1Jn 4:4 You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

8. I am a living part of the Body of Christ!!!

1Co 12:27

Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

1Co 6:15

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!

1Co 12:14-15

For the body does not consist of one member but of many. (15) If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

9. I am light in the world and more than a conqueror through him who loved me!!!

Mat 5:14

“You are the light of the world.

Mat 16:16-18

Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (17) And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. (18) And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Rom 8:37-39

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (38) For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, (39) nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

10. I am born again and a part of God’s eternal family!!!

1Pe 1:22-23

By obedience to the truth, having purified yourselves for sincere love of the brothers, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, (23) since you have been born again–not of perishable seed but of imperishable–through the living and enduring word of God.

Eph 2:19

You Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens with everyone else who belongs to the family of God.

Eph 3:14-17

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father (15) from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. (16) I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, (17) and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith.

These truths are who you really are as a born again Christian…Repeat them out loud, especially the Scriptures that energize you and trust the Holy Spirit to make them effective in you!!!
