BLINDED BY TO MUCH LUXURY AND EASE. -- Anonymous, 00:44:57 05/28/08 Wed
"My child and My children, I will not, at this late date, continue with a lengthy discourse, giving you all countless reasons for the necessity for a just intervention from Heaven upon mankind for the salvation of souls. My Mother has prepared you well. You have been counseled to wear your sacramentals and to restore the Faith in the hearts of the multitudes.
"All clergy, cardinals, bishops, parish priests, and laymen shall be accountable for the fall of all souls within their self-imposed dedication of protection, which has been cast aside, as many have been blinded by a life of too much luxury and ease.
"As I told you in the past, through prophets and the word, that it will be easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter Heaven. For his richness has been directed from satan for the destruction of his soul.
"Charity is known to few. Charitable people are few, My child and My children. Blessed are the poor and the peacemakers, for they shall be truly called children of God.” – Jesus,

Message from the Angels
--------------------------------------------------------------------
My dear friends we love you so very much,
As you move forward throughout your days, release your worries to
God! So many of you carry so many burdens within your hearts that
are not really yours to carry. So many of you worry about the
actions, choices, and situations that others find themselves within
and yet each soul, dear ones, must learn the lessons they have set
out to learn. You can help your dear friends, neighbors, and fellow
human beings first and foremost by simply loving them, being kind
to them, offering a helping hand when it is authentically
passionate and in your hearts to do so, and also by being honest
with them when it is not.
You do not truly assist another by doing something that is not
truly in your hearts, for God guides each and every one of you to
help one another in specific ways, and if every soul were to listen
to the dictates of their hearts, no one on earth would go without
help. Some souls would be called to assist by donating time,
money, or food. Some are called to assist through loving
intervention. Others are called to assist through prayer. Still
others are called to assist by living their lives in peace and joy,
thus contributing to the new vibration of heaven on earth that many
of you are trying to anchor here upon your planet. Trust that if
God wants you to assist another soul, everything in you will be
filled with the desire and resources to do so. To worry, however,
is really to judge a situation as bad for another, when in reality
that situation is exactly what the soul has chosen at this time to
experience in order to further their growth and education here upon
your earth.
If you witness a loved one in a situation that you believe to be
less than healthy, express your care and concern kindly and with
love... Dear friend, I am concerned about you. You seem so lost,
or sad, or lonely. Is there anything I can do. Listen, and respond
with honesty. Share with them what you can honestly offer. In this
fashion, the ones around you can learn their lessons with an angel
called YOU to assist them on their journey... if they are willing
to receive the assistance. And if they are not, surrender your
judgments, pray for them, and allow them their growth. You are
never called to do the spiritual homework for another soul, but you
are always called to be kind, loving, and always compassionately
honest.
So many of you feel guilty when your lives are going well and you
cannot save the others around you. Earth is a one room school
house and it is never appropriate to judge another's lessons.
Some of you feel envious when you are not doing well and others
around you seem to have life go more easily. Again we say earth is
a one room schoolhouse and it is never appropriate to judge
another's lessons. To say for example, that those who endure
disaster are suffering punishment is a terrible and sweeping
judgement, and while it may be true for a few, many of the heroic
souls who undergo disaster have a covenant with God to inspire
compassion and change here upon your planet earth. Indeed that was
the case with so many of the children who perished in China's
recent earthquake, for they are dear angels, calling upon the world
to look upon their families with compassion and to realize that all
of humanity has but one loving heart.
Dear ones, allow yourselves your own joys, your own sorrows, your
own triumphs and seek out help during your trials. But please
never ever judge the situation of another. The soul undergoing the
most unthinkable tragedy may be your teacher, or a soul about to
enter the realms of enlightenment. The soul with the most
apparently blessed life may be learning valuable lessons as well -
to be self loving and to be a steward for God's resources. The
outer circumstances never can truly give you an accurate picture of
the inner workings of God within a human soul.
Strive to release all judgments dear ones, against yourselves and
against others. Earth is a school and you would not judge a child
in school for his or her mistakes. You would simply and gently
offer a better way to do things.
We love you so very much,
-- The Angels

A TRIBULATION SO GREAT. -- Anonymous, 00:51:25 05/28/08 Wed
"Satan is the father of all liars. MANY in your government, My children, are liars, for they have joined the synagogue of satan. Pray, pray that they change and mend their ways so that your beautiful country will not join those who have been given over to the enemies of God.
"FOR MONEY, the world bargains for souls. For money, MANY shall LOSE the Faith. For money, many will sell out their trust as pastors. For money, your country and the countries of the world shall bring themselves to the edge of destruction by the promotion of a great War, a war that will affect the lives of every man, woman, and child.
"It will be a time of great tribulation for all, a tribulation so great that were not My Son to take pity on you and intervene, no life would remain upon your planet. Pray, pray, My children, for you do not know what lies ahead of you.”-

SIMPLE CONTEXT OF FAITH IS BEING CAST ASIDE. -- Anonymous, 00:38:21 05/28/08 Wed
“When the world and My Son's Church becomes as one, know that the end is near and at hand.
"Do not be concerned, My children, for the eventual victory is with the forces from Heaven. Satan shall claim any woman, man, or child who has fallen from grace. Satan will claim them to do his work to destroy souls. He will enter, he has entered upon governments, in all walks of life. He now has control of your medias, your entertainment, your schools, and your Justice Department. Justice? Justice is in blindness. The Faith has grown weak. When My Son returns, shall He find even a small flicker of faith left?
"The simple context of Faith is being cast aside and replaced by all manner of novelty and implementation. You have received a firm foundation. There is no need to change. Heaven, the Eternal Father knows no change, for He is, He was, and He always will be. There is no change in Heaven.
"My children, whatever shall become of you! You dress in nakedness; you come into My Son's House in nakedness. Immorality is widespread throughout your world. Read, My children, and learn: When a country has reached a point of no return, it has always started with the fall of morals!”

PRAY THAT THEY MAY "REKINDLE" THEIR FAITH. -- Anonymous, 00:27:54 05/28/08 Wed
"Your country and many countries throughout your world have already fallen. They have now been entered upon by the giant political machine that seeks to enslave the world--the octopus of evil. For the love of money, prestige, and power, many shall sell their souls to get to the head. O My children, when My Son returns, will He find even a small flicker of faith left in your hearts?...
"You will, My children, pray for your bishops and your clergy. Pray for those who have still a small flicker of faith in their hearts that they may rekindle their faith and stand up and be counted.”

YOU CANNOT SIT BACK AND DO NOTHING. -- Anonymous, 00:21:14 05/28/08 Wed
"I ask you to not set yourselves up to judge your brothers and sisters, but you cannot sit back and do nothing or say nothing, for good works kept in a closed mouth is like putting messes of meat upon a dead man's grave. Prayers without works, My children, will not give you the strength to conquer the evil. By your example, your good example of modesty and faith, you will bring many back onto the road to Heaven.” –

There is not one, not one, My child, My children, not one among you who can say that he will never die and pass over the veil. Judgment awaits each and every soul.
"We ask you to set by good example, to bring the words of the Father to mankind. In doing this you are not judging, but bringing the admonition from Heaven.” –

SIGN'S OF THE LAST DAY'S ARE UPON US NOW! -- Anonymous, 00:11:45 05/28/08 Wed
MATTHEW 24
Our Lady - "There will be many christs upon earth--those who call themselves Christ. But beware; do not listen to them. How often have I warned you in the past to beware of false prophets and those who will claim to be Christ. Only those who are ignorant and have no basic foundation of the Faith could fall prey to their beguileness.
"Because of the fact that too few are given--giving out the Message from Heaven to the peoples, My child, I wish you to open the Bible, the Book of life, and read what I point out to you."
Veronica - The Signs of the Last Days--Matthew.
Matthew 24--The Signs of the Last Days.
Verse 23 – “Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is Christ,' or, 'There He is,' do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise, and will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told it to you beforehand. If, therefore, they say to you, 'Behold, he is in the desert,' go not forth; 'Behold, he is in the inner chambers,' do not believe it. For as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines even to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.
"But immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken. And then there will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven; and then will all tribes of the earth mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with great power and majesty. And He will send forth His angels with a trumpet and a great sound, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, and from one end of the heavens to the other."
And we will repeat again in verse 5 of St. Matthew, Chapter 24.
"For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. For you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. Take care that you do not be alarmed, for these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be pestilences and famines and earthquakes in various places. But all these things are the beginnings of the sorrows.
"And many of them shall fall away, many will fall away and will betray one another, and will hate one another. And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray. And because iniquity will abound, [things will become so bad] the charity of many will grow cold. [One will in that way be afraid to even trust your neighbor or even trust anyone out on the street. That's how bad the evil will abound.] But whoever perseveres to the end, [trusting in Jesus] shall be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world, for a witness to all the nations; and then will come the end."

The father "tolerates" for the sake of the elect! -- Anonymous, 00:07:22 05/28/08 Wed
"Your separated brethren--yes, My children, We wish that they RETURN TO THE FOLD, but you will not change yourselves and meet them on their road. You must bring them back to the narrow road.
"My Son set His House upon earth. All who left, left in rebellion, in protest. Are you to join them? Shall you compromise your Faith? No! All who sell out the houses of My Son shall receive a recompense of eternal damnation.
"There are, My children, thieves, robbers in My Son's houses! Moneychangers in the temple! The Father watches all and tolerates for the sake of the elect. The Chastisement will claim many, good and the evil." – Our Lady

This is what has happen here in Metlakatla -- Anonymous, 09:43:36 02/28/08 Thu
A coup d’état is the sudden, illegal overthrowing of a government by a part of the state establishment — usually the military — to replace the branch of the stricken government, either with another civil government or with a military government.
Politically, the coup d’état is a type of political engineering, generally violent (hence "strike", "blow"; French "coup"), but not always, yet differing from a revolution (by a larger, armed group to effect violent, radical change to the political system) in that the change is to the government, not the form of government.
Tactically, a coup d’état usually involves control by an active portion of the country's military, while neutralizing the remainder of the armed services possible counteraction. The acting group either captures or expels the political and military leaders, seizes physical control of the most important government offices, means of communication, and the physical infrastructure, such as key streets and electric power plants.
The coup d’état succeeds if its opponents fail to thwart the usurpers, allowing them to consolidate their positions, obtain the surrender of the overthrown government or acquiescence of the populace and the surviving armed forces, and thus claim legitimacy. Coups d’état typically use the power of the existing government for the takeover. As Edward Luttwak remarks in Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook: A coup consists of the infiltration of a small, but critical, segment of the state apparatus, which is then used to displace the government from its control of the remainder. In this sense, the use of either military or another organized force is not the defining feature of a coup d'État.

Something to ponder! -- Anonymous, 16:19:56 02/18/08 Mon
You Shall Not Hide, But You Shall Stand By My Side
You shall not hide, but you shall stand by My side
For you are not as mere men, but you are My Bride
All of your preparations have been accomplished and are now set
You have only begun to come forth, for the requirements are met
What I have chosen for you, is Mine to accomplish, and to unfold
You must walk with me in confidence, trusting My Hands to reveal the Mold
Many truly don’t walk in the Wisdom I have already given unto them
But they still walk and run after the words, plans, and councils of men
This is not to be, for those who are truly united with Me
For the inward partaking and fellowship will only grow and increase
As you keep your hands in Mine and your hearts in My Peace
For the events opening up before the faces of men, are only the first release
Would not I cause what I have fashioned to be sufficient for the Hour?
Think not that Mine will be shaken, overcome or even devoured
On the contrary, You will rise up even stronger, with My heavenly inward power
For in the shaking earth, My People will be a Strong High Tower
My Instruments are ready, and will come forth, even as the waves
Stages of Release opening up and flowing forth, with the passing of days
Boundaries and Perimeters are being redrawn and re-established across the boards
Oh, such fear will overcome those who hold too tight and who wickedly hoards
Great Light breaks through, as the Glory advances and establishes the New Lines
Wars in the heavens and increasing more visibly into the earth, will give the next signs
Few will listen, or take heed, or repent, or change their darkened minds
But blessed are those who step into the Truth and embrace My Light and who walk in My Sight
The veil is being rent and in places, even thinning, and in some, retreating
Shockwaves roll and greater tremors will break forth, at the enemy’s unseating
Chains breaking, lands shaking, hierarchy’s quaking, government’s remaking
All in the Order and the Plan implemented from the Fathers Hands
The Unfolding is only beginning, and already men tremble, waver and run
The Way is made, and the Answer given, but where and unto who, will men come?
All is written, and all will surely in the earth, be accomplished, and done
My Glory expanding and flowing through My emerging Vessels of My Son
Solidifying of the Standards and the Stance of the True Church
The Merging and Completing of Her Glorious Destiny, Value, and Worth
As the Cycles change and the Nations rearrange, Strength, Power, and Truth
Will flow through My People, united as One in Me, as Proof
I, the Father, sit at the Head, and My Son stands by My Stead
My Spirit moving in and through, enforcing the Heavenly Rule
My Angels and My men, working together in their assigned places
Heaven rejoicing at the Culmination, and at My Glory emerging among the Races
Oh, listen and take heed, to the sound of My Hand the turning of the Pages
That which is to come, and what will now be, flows from the mouths of My emerging Sages
All will be understood and will be given to those who listen, on bended knee
The time to be still, and to walk fully in My Will, is now to be
For the events decreed, will expose every man’s secret desire and deepest need
Laying the axe to the demonic roots and loosing their bound feet
The choices are few, to continue to walk bound, or to walk new
But all will encounter and see, the God of Eternal Glory.

American Indians are redrafting their constitutions
to emphasize freedom and accountability,
righting corrupt rule decreed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Banding together as a grass-roots group, Call to Action, Vargas and other San Carlos Apaches are among a growing number of American Indians who, fed up with the dysfunctional and corrupt tribal governments foisted upon them by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, or BIA, more than half a century go, are going back to the drawing board. They plan to write new and better tribal constitutions codifying new laws that better suit their traditions and cultures than the "cookie-cutter constitutions" issued to them by Uncle Sam like another slab of surplus cheese.
It’s a movement born from the frustration and despair of rank-and-file tribal members, tired of corrupt and incompetent tribal councils against which the Indian Reorganization Act, or IRA, constitutions provided no serious checks or balances, and which many believe have provoked the current crises. An Insight survey of Indian country suggests that constitutional crises among the tribes are coming with growing frequency.
At San Carlos, the slow boil began several years ago when tribal members began to ask questions about some $8 million in tribal monies that allegedly had gone missing. Council members reacted to the accusations by suspending officials who wanted to investigate. Protests by Call to Action led to arbitrary arrests, new elections and a paralyzed tribal council, split to this day between the old guard and the new.
In April, tribal elders of Northern California’s Round Valley Nation became fed up with chronic poverty and social problems. Fearing that the tribe was straying from tradition, the elders disbanded their allegedly corrupt tribal council and demanded a referendum on a new constitution.
According to Chippewa Bill Lawrence, whose Bemidji, Minn.-based Ojibwe News has made a reputation (and enemies) for its hard-hitting investigations of corruption, tribal sovereign-immunity provisions codified in the IRA constitutions not only have led to corruption and lack of accountability but to abuse of the civil rights of rank-and-file Indians as well. "The biggest abusers and exploiters of Indians are other Indian people," Lawrence has said, and reservations won’t become more democratic as long as tribal officials can hide behind the claim of immunity. "You have to pierce the veil of sovereign immunity", says Lawrence, because tribal councils that exercise absolute control on many reservations have been hiding their criminal conduct behind it for years.
"There is no U.S. Constitution on many reservations," declares Morrison Standifer. "We have no free speech, no right to assemble. All of this is in the U.S. Bill of Rights, which we don’t have. We have only a watered-down version of that bill of rights, but it’s not enforceable because, where do you go to enforce it? We have to go to tribal courts, which are in the pocket of the tribal councils, which are often the ones violating the rights."
The BIA, by most accounts, is doing a better job of facilitating constitutional overhauls than it did in the past - spurred on by a 1988 amendment to the IRA that imposed strict timelines on the BIA for ratifying new constitutions because of a reputation for dawdling. The result is that the biggest hurdles most tribes face now are internal ones.
Is it worth all the trouble? Have new constitutions made life better for the tribes that have tried them? "I’d say the tribes that have reworked their constitutions tend to be happier, if for no other reason than because they see the document to be their own," says the University of Iowa’s Clinton. "That sense of ownership is awfully important."

Council Members ARE Conflicted -- Anonymous, 05:58:36 02/05/08 Tue
MIC -- Conflict Of Interest, 01:11:45 02/05/08 Tue
To the Mayor MIC
Metlakatla, AK
Conflict Of Interest
It is with great concern that the situation here in Metlakatla is dire and in need of your immediate action.
Ten of the twelve council members are Metlakatla Indian Community employees. This is cause for an extreme conflict of interest as the members of Metlakatla are left with no remedy.
The newly elected mayor is left with the tenable situation were he is not able to function as supervisor to these people who are also on council and who can take action to remove him from office.
As an example: the director of Grants and contracts is under the direct supervision and authority of the Mayor and yet holds the vote to remove this mayor from office.
Not only is this a direct conflict of interest and it goes against MIC policies and regulations as listed below.
If any vote is made to remove this mayor by any of the council members it may lead to their dismissal as employee. If any of the council members who votes to remove the mayor is successful then the mayor would have grounds for a wrongful discharge and each of the council can be held liable for the actions of this council.
The only remedy is to offer one of three choices to these council members
1. Take leave from MIC employment while they serve out their term in office
2. Have the employee resign or be fired from their position
3. Have the council member resign their term of office to keep their MIC employment

Routine Christian's: -- Anonymous, 16:12:52 11/16/07 Fri
Dictatorship of the Routine
The treacherous enemy facing the church of Jesus Christ today is the dictatorship of the routine, when the routine becomes "lord" in the life of the church. Programs are organized and the prevailing conditions are accepted as normal. Anyone can predict next Sunday's service and what will happen. This seems to be the most deadly threat in the church today. When we come to the place where everything can be predicted and nobody expects anything unusual from God, we are in a rut. The routine dictates, and we can tell not only what will happen next Sunday, but what will occur next month and, if things do not improve, what will take place next year. Then we have reached the place where what has been determines what is, and what is determines what will be.
That would be perfectly all right and proper for a cemetery. Nobody expects a cemetery to do anything but conform. The greatest conformists in the world today are those who sleep out in the community cemetery. They do not bother anyone. They just lie there, and it is perfectly all right for them to do so. You can predict what everyone will do in the cemetery from the deceased right down to the people who attend a funeral there. Everyone and everything in a cemetery has accepted the routine. Nobody expects anything out of those buried in the cemetery. But the church is not a cemetery and we should expect much from it, because what has been should not be lord to tell us what is, and what is should not be ruler to tell us what will be. God's people are supposed to grow.
As long as there is growth, there is an air of unpredictability. Certainly we cannot predict exactly, but in many churches you just about can. Everybody knows just what will happen, and this has become our deadliest enemy. We blame the devil, the "last days" and anything else we can think of, but the greatest enemy is not outside of us. It is within - it is an attitude of accepting things as they are. We believe that what was must always determine what will be, and as a result we are not growing in expectation.
The Progressive Stages
As soon as someone begins talking like this, the Lord's people respond by getting busy. What I'm talking about, however, is internal. It is a matter of the soul and mind that ultimately determines our conduct. Let me show you the progressive stages.
I began with what I call the rote. This is repetition without feeling. If someday someone would read the Scripture and believe it and would believe what is sung in the great Christian hymns, there would be a blessed spiritual revolution underway in a short time. But too many are caught up in the rote, repeating without feeling, without meaning, without wonder and without any happy surprises or expectations. In our services God cannot get in because we have it all fixed up for Him. We say, "Lord, we are going to have it this way. Now kindly bless our plans." We repeat without feeling, we repeat without meaning, we sing without wonder, and we listen without surprise. That is my description of the rote.
We go one step further and come to what I will call the rut, which is bondage to the rote. When we are unable to see and sense bondage to the rote, we are in rut. For example, a man may be sick and not even know it. The doctors may have confided in the man's wife instead, "We don't want to frighten your husband, but he could drop any minute. He is critically ill, so just expect it any moment." The man himself does not know he is seriously ill. He goes about his business as if nothing is wrong. He may play golf or tennis, maybe even go on a hunting trip. He is sick, and yet he does not know how sick he really is. This may in fact hasten his end. Not knowing is risky business and full of danger. Spiritually speaking, the rut is bondage to the rote, and the greatest danger lies in our inability to sense or feel this bondage.
There is a third word, and I do not particularly like to use it, but the history of the church is filled with it. The word is rot. The church is afflicted by drive rot. This is best explained when the psychology of non-expectation takes over and spiritual rigidity sets in, which is an inability to visualize anything better, a lack of desire for improvement.
There are many who respond by arguing, "I know lots of evangelical churches that would like to grow, and they do their best to get the crowds in. They want to grow and have contest to make their Sunday school larger." That is true, but they are trying to get people to come and share their rut. They want people to help them celebrate the rote and finally join in the rot. Because the Holy Spirit is not given the chance to work in our services, nobody is repenting, nobody is seeking God, nobody is spending a day in quiet waiting on God with open Bible seeking to mend his or her ways. Nobody is doing it - we just want more people. But more people for what? More people to come and repeat our dead services without feeling, without meaning, without wonder, without surprise? More people to join us in the bondage to the rote? For the most part, spiritual rigidity that cannot bend is too weak notice how weak it is.
What Is the Church?
For clarification, what is the church? When I say that a church gets into the rote and then onto the rut and finely to the rot, what am I talking about?
For one thing, the church is not the building. A church is an assembly of individuals. There is a lot of meaningless dialogue these days about the church. It is meaningless because those engaged in the dialogue forget that a church has no separate existence. The church is not an entity in itself, but rather is composed of individual persons. It is the same error made about the state. Politicians sometimes talk about the state as though it were an entity in itself. Social workers talk about society, but society is people. So is the church. The church is made up of real people, and when they come together we have the church. Whatever the people are who make up the church, that is the kind of church it is - no worse and no better, no wiser, no holier, no more ardent and no more worshipful. To improve or change the church you must begin with individuals.
When people in the church only point to others for improvement and not to themselves, it is sure evidence that the church has come to dry rot. It is proof of three sins: the sin of self-righteousness, the sin of judgment and the sin of complacency.
When our Lord said, "One of you will betray Me," thank God those disciples had enough spirituality that nobody said, "Lord, is it he?" Every one of those disciples said, "Lord, is it I?" If they would not have so responded there could not have been a Pentecost. But because they were humble enough to point the finger in their own direction the Holy Spirit fell upon them.
Self-righteousness is terrible among God's people. If we feel that we are what we ought to be, then we will remain what we are. We will not look for any change or improvement in our lives. This will quite naturally lead us to judge everyone by what we are. This is the judgment of which we must be careful. To judge others by ourselves is to create havoc in the local assembly.
Self-righteousness also leads to complacency. Complacency is a great sin and covers just about everything I have said about the rote and the rut. Some have the attitude, "Lord, I'm satisfied with my spiritual condition. I hope one of these days You'll come, I will be taken up to meet You in the air and I will rule over five cities." These people cannot rule over their own houses and families, but they expect to rule over five cities. They pray spottily and sparsely, rarely attending prayer meeting, but they read their Bibles and expect to go zooming off into the blue yonder and join the Lord in the triumph of the victorious saints.
Is Simply Self-Deception
I wonder if we are not fooling ourselves. I wonder if a lot of it is simply self-deception. I hear the voice of Jesus saying to us, "You have stayed long enough where you are. Break camp and advance into the hill country." This would be a new spiritual experience that God has for us. Everything Jesus Christ did for us we can have in this age. Victorious living, joyous living, holy living, fruitful living, wondrous, ravishing knowledge of the Triune God - all of this is ours. Power we never knew before, undreamed of answers to prayer - this is ours. "See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of [it]." The Lord gave it to you in a covenant. Go take it - it's yours. It was given to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all their seed after. Jesus prayed, "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message" (Jn. 17: 20). That embraces all those who belong to the church of Jesus Christ.
If we call Him Lord, how dare we sit any longer in the rut! The Lord has called us to move on. But when people are in a rut, not even the angel Gabriel can help them if they will not come out of it. This is not an accusation but a suggestion. If you are not in a rut, don't get mad - somebody else is. But if you are in a rut you ought to get out of it.
The difference between a wooden leg and a good leg is that if you prick a wooden leg the person would never notice. The difference between a church that has dry rot and a church that is alive is that if you prick the live church it will respond. If you prick the other kind, it is already dead. The tree that stands alive has lush, green leaves. Take a knife, scar the bark deeply and the tree will bleed. It is alive. The old dead tree just stands there, a watchtower for old sentinel crows. Take your knife and dig in as far as you want to, and nothing will happen because the tree is dead.
So it is with my message. If you'll get neither mad nor glad nor sad under my preaching, I know nothing can be done. But there are some who are alive, and I believe it is the majority.

The Chosen.. -- Anonymous, 13:25:39 11/13/07 Tue
Chosen
Warning: As doctors are fond of saying, this might sting a little.
Since I have to leave the house in exactly thirty minutes, so I can make a meeting I plan on attending, I will make this short and to the point. No, it could not wait, it burns in me and wants to be let out.
It seems to me that modern day Christianity has become a bastion for mediocrity. After men have failed at everything else in life, they seem to gravitate toward ministry, and depending on how much scripture they are willing to twist, how much they are willing to compromise, they even become moderately successful in the eyes of the world, and fellow believers alike.
Although the men of God in scripture varied in age, formal training, educational background, even size and shape, one commonality is that they were all chosen of God.
One does not choose ministry, one is chosen, and called into ministry. Throughout the Word, those whom God called in to the work, into ministry, realized what it was they were being called to.
It was not a life of glamor, of fortune or fame, but a life of rejection, of being misunderstood and hated, of being beaten, imprisoned, hunted and persecuted.
This is why I often wonder about those who sometimes approach me with sunny dispositions, and say they want to be prophets, and watchmen. I wonder if they realize what it all entails.
It is because those who have not been called, or sent have gained prominence in Christendom that there is so much confusion, so many ruined lives, and shattered hopes.
One who is chosen, is not called to enjoy but to endure, he is not commanded to placate but to rebuke. A chosen vessel, one who is accountable to God, already knows the path will not be easy, that few will heed, and many will dismiss the Word, but he has no choice, for to refuse the calling would be to disobey God.
Every man chosen of God realizes and acknowledges his shortcomings. Some such as Moses even attempting to point their limitations out to God, in the hope that He might find a more suitable candidate.
If we truly realized, deep in our hearts what it means to be chosen, there would be allot less people jumping up and down shouting, 'pick me, pick me!'
The sun shone down as Elisha labored, with twelve yoke of oxen, he plowed the fields, and as he lifted his eyes, wiping the sweat from his brow, he looked toward the desert and saw a man approaching. The man walked with hurried purpose, and as he passed by Elisha, the man threw his mantle on him.
In one instant, in the span of a breath, the life he would never lead flashed before Elisha's eyes, the appreciation dinners that would never be given in his honor, the familiarity of his own bed night after night that he would never know, the anonymity that came with simply being a man plowing his fields he would never enjoy. All the simple pleasures of a simple man, gone. All that he had envisioned his life would be, all the dreams and plans, all of them disappeared in the span of a few seconds as he felt he weight of the mantle upon his shoulders.
Apologetically, Elisha spoke to Elijah after running and catching up to him, and explained that the wanted to go and bid farewell to his mother and father, to kiss them one last time, then he would follow.
Then Elijah looked upon the man whom God had chosen as his replacement, the one who would now lead the school of prophets, and shrugging his shoulders he said, 'go back again, for what have I done to you?'
In essence he was saying, 'you don't have to explain yourself to me, I am not the one who chose you.' Elisha turned back from Elijah, took a yoke of oxen, and slaughtered them, cooked the meat, and gave it to the people to eat, then arose and followed Elijah and served him.
When God calls, when one is chosen, he must be prepared for both labor and sacrifice. In order that we may obtain the crown, we must first be faithful in both the yoke, and the cross of Christ.
Too many desire the crown, but refuse the yoke, and since the cross of Christ can often be heavy and cumbersome, they substitute it with a miniature one they can carry in their pockets, or wear around their necks.
One who is chosen learns very quickly that you cannot be sent of God, unless the knowledge that walking with Him presupposes the yoke, the burning, and the cross, is firmly established in the heart.
Many go whom God has not sent, many speak when God has not spoken, and many consider the mantle to be the means by which they will achieve popularity and fortune.
It is the reason for which so many ministers and ministries that seem to have started out on the right track, with godly principles, wander from truth so often, because rather than pray for humility and endurance, they revel in the thought that their ship has finally come in.
When one is truly chosen, and called into the ministry, he does as Elisha, he goes and with one last kiss severs the ties to the life that might have been, arises and follows after Jesus, wholly committed, wholly engaged, wholly obedient.
With love in Christ,

The Consequences of "greed".. -- Anonymous, 13:16:35 11/13/07 Tue
The consequences of greed, deceit, and disobedience are far reaching. Though men aren't walking about these days with limbs being slowly eaten away by leprosy of the flesh, spiritual leprosy is just as hideous if you have the spiritual eyes to see it.
Greed eats away a the soul and character of a man, it devours and deforms from within.
The tragedy is that today, it isn't Gehazi who's chasing down the chariots of the Syrian, but the men who claim to be the Elishas among us, those who should be above taking credit for the work God does, who ought to know that the Word is not a means of gain.
Once these self professed Elishas catch up to the chariot, they too feel as though their word will not have sufficient weight, and so utter the damning words, 'the Master sent me, He said for you to give me silver and garments.'
You can't sell something that was never yours to begin with!
The words of the Master echo to this day, as a warning to all who claim to be His servants, "freely ye have received, freely give."

The "FOUR HORSEMEN" are about to RIDE! -- Anonymous, 19:50:41 11/01/07 Thu
The Dream
October 31, 2007
Michael Boldea Jr.
As promised yesterday, the following is a dream I had the night of October 29Th. It is essentially a transcript of what will be going in the next newsletter.
I had a dream last night, and if not for the specific instruction to share what I saw, I would have preferred to keep it to myself. I had gone to bed late, having waited for my wife to get home from work. After seeing that she had arrived home safely, and saying my prayers, I fell into a restful sleep.
I dreamt that I was sleeping, when a hand touched my shoulder, and a voice I recognized said, 'wake up.'
In my dream I opened my eyes, and my breath caught in my throat as I saw who had awakened me. It was the same messenger, the angel I had seen on previous occasions, dressed in full battle armor, standing by the side of my bed.
'Take my hand' he said, 'I have been sent to show you something.'
I barely touched the hand that was extended toward me when my bed and my bedroom evaporated, and I found myself standing before a white, oblong building, that looked allot like a barn or a horse stable. Two large doors made up the front of the structure, and as I looked they began to swing open.
I knew wherever I was, it was not of this earth, because everything shone, everything was white, pristine, immaculate.
I also knew that whatever the reason for being shown this, was about to be revealed, so I stood in silence, holding the messenger's hand.
As soon as the doors were fully open, I saw an angel that looked very much like the one standing beside me, except without the armor, leading a white horse by its reins. The horse was large and muscular, but he followed the angel obediently with its head bent low. The angel's countenance was somber as he led the horse away, and for some reason this registered with great clarity.
I looked up to the messenger whose hand I was still holding, but he merely nodded toward the white building and the open doors, and said, 'witness.'
Another angel soon appeared in the doorway, holding the reins of a red horse, following after the first. I began to realize what I was seeing, and in silence watched as two more angels appeared, each holding the reins of a horse, one black, one of no discernible color, just pale. All four angels were dressed alike, and had the same somber, sorrowful countenance.
I stood and watched as all four horses were led out of my sight, and finally when they had disappeared from view, the messenger turned to me and said: 'Go and tell what you have seen. The riders prepare, the horses are ready, and soon they will descend, soon they will be loosed. Remember what you have witnessed, and do not hold back a single word. Soon they descend on wings of fury; soon turmoil will shake earth's very foundation.
Prepare yourself, for many will fall and few will stand. Fulfillment is at hand, go and speak what you have seen, and what you have heard. The Kingdom awaits the righteous, the holy will soon see the Lord.'
I only realized I was still holding his hand when he let go of mine, and suddenly I was back in my bed, sitting up, fully awake. I am still unsure whether or not it was a dream, or if 'dream' is the right word for it, but for simplicity's sake I will call it a dream.
I tried to go back to sleep but could not, vividly remembering the sorrowful look on the faces of the angels who were leading the horses out of the stables.
It seems the world is seeing, what the church is refusing to acknowledge, the fact that we are on the cusp of great upheaval not only in this nation, but also throughout the world.
These are the days of which the prophets spoke, the days of which Christ warned, the time of distress, of sifting and of separation.
My prayer is that we remember always, our hope is in the Lord, and He is faithful to those who are faithful to Him. If one word stands out from this entire dream, it is the word 'prepare' and we mus do so with diligence. The children of God must steel themselves for what is coming, prepare their hears and settle within their soul that the day in which we will have to stand for truth is soon approaching.
With love in Christ,
Michael Boldea Jr.

The great falling away is in full effect here in met! -- Anonymous, 19:40:15 10/28/07 Sun
The Judas Church
Jesus has been betrayed again—this time by wayward denominations that question the truth of the Bible and reject Christian morality.
October 28, 2007
By David Kyle Foster
Charisma Magazine
I believe we are living in the days of the Great Apostasy. Whether we are in the early stages or nearing the end will be known only in hindsight. But that we are in the throes of the greatest "falling away" the church has ever experienced is clear.
Jesus informed His disciples that the kingdom of heaven (His presence on earth through the church) would be infiltrated by the enemies of God (see Matt. 13:24-30,36-43). He prophesied that while everyone was sleeping, an enemy (the devil) would come and sow weeds among the wheat.
The wheat (that is, believers) and weeds (sons of the evil one) would grow together in the world. At the end of the age, Jesus will send angels to collect the weeds for burning and to harvest the wheat. He puts it this way: "The Son of Man will send out His angels and they will weed out of His kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil" (Matt. 13:41, NIV).
Jesus warned of a time when "many will turn away from the faith" and "many false prophets will appear and deceive many people" (Matt. 24:10-11). We have seen this prophecy repeatedly fulfilled throughout history, and yet what we see happening today in the church has not been seen since the days of the Borgia and Medici popes.
Aspects of the final "Great Apostasy" are spoken of in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. And as with many prophecies, there is most likely an initial fulfillment within a generation of the prophecy; perhaps multiple, partial fulfillments as history progresses; and one final and complete fulfillment awaiting mankind on the last day.
In Acts 20:29-31, after admonishing the presbyters in the Ephesian church to carefully watch over the flock put under their care by God, the apostle Paul warns: "I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears."
The Bible warns of a day like ours, when the world will become so corrupt that even so-called "believers" will fall away. Their separating themselves from true Christians will show that they are not of them (see 1 John 2:19).
We are seeing these Scriptures fulfilled today, as denominations, leaders and other believers turn from the Lord to serve themselves and the kingdom of darkness.
Apostasy Then and Now
It was not odd in the early church for there to be weeds among the wheat. In 1 Timothy 1:19-20, we see the case of Hymenaeus and Alexander, who Paul says had "shipwrecked their faith" by rejecting both faith and good conscience. Paul hands them over to Satan "to be taught not to blaspheme" and later warns: "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons" (1 Tim. 4:1).
Then he says: "The time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths" (2 Tim. 4:3-4).
In the early centuries of the church, we can see Paul's prediction played out in the Judaizers, Arians and Gnostics who continually bled the church of those who professed to be "believers." In a way, they were pruning tools in the devil's hand, serving the purposes of God. In more recent centuries, we've seen ongoing apostasy through the rise of various cults such as the Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Today, however, we see the falling away taking place primarily from within the structures of the church itself—Protestant, Orthodox and Roman Catholic. It's akin to the decomposition that happens when a long-buried artifact is exposed to the light. As God begins to subject the visible church to a more intense and holy gaze, parts of it are disintegrating into dust. Satan's weeds are being exposed and have only power, money and the pretense of lies to perpetuate their charade.
We see leaders inside Christian seminaries, denominations and churches who pretend to be servants of God yet who deliberately deny the clear word of truth found in Scripture. Yet millions of people remain in those churches, send their children to those seminaries and do nothing to correct the situation. What is worse, they continue to fund the ongoing apostasy with their tithes and offerings and become deceived as a penalty for their collusion.
In 2 Thessalonians 2, we read Paul's comments about a coming "rebellion" and about how those who "[refuse] to love the truth" and who "[delight] in wickedness" are given over by God Himself to "a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie" (vv. 10-12).
Paul sees them as collaborators or agents of the kingdom of darkness. In 2 Corinthians 11 he speaks of them as teaching "another Jesus" and imparting a different spirit and gospel (v. 4, NKJV). In verses 13-15, he writes: "Such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve" (NIV).
In 2 Timothy 3:1-7, Paul speaks of the "last days" once again and says they will be characterized by the existence of those who are "lovers of themselves" and "lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God" (vv. 2,4). He says they will "[have] a form of godliness but [deny] its power" (v. 5).
As Satan, through this appearance of light, spreads his darkness more intensely across the land, God is simultaneously ratcheting up the intensity of His light. The hypocrisy, the compromise, the immorality that He once waited patiently to see forsaken by His people is no longer able to stand that refining light, and its devotees are shifting even more blatantly into the kingdom that will sustain it—the kingdom of darkness—the synagogue of Satan (see Rev. 2:9; 3:9).
The Judas Church
What we are seeing in our day is the rise of the "Judas Church."
Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Christ, was more than an individual. He was a type. His life and actions represent a pattern that has been repeated throughout church history and that has finally culminated in our day as the Great Apostasy.
Judas was someone who pretended to be a faithful follower of Christ, yet stole from the one he called Lord, eventually becoming a traitor (see John 12:4-6; Luke 6:16). Many speculate that he was somehow saved in the end, but the Scripture is clear that he was not (see Matt. 26:24; John 17:12; Acts 1:25).
In a similar way, the Judas Church robs God and His people in ways both material and spiritual and in the end turns traitor to the Lord and leads everyone in it into perdition (see Matt. 23:15).
Just try remaining faithful to God's Word today in the Episcopal Church USA (ECUSA), for example. If you dare try standing with our Lord against the enthronement of unrepentant, practicing homosexuals to the episcopate, you will likely be sued for your church properties, stripped of your salary and pension, and perhaps even defrocked from the priesthood altogether. Such draconian sanctions have already been imposed on faithful priests in that denomination by the very people who cry, "Peace and unity!" and who "celebrate diversity and tolerance." And the purging has only just begun.
It is all right if you deny the deity of Christ or His bodily resurrection or atoning sacrifice for sin. No one will bother you there. Being a Christian hasn't been a requirement for the priesthood or leadership in ECUSA or many other denominations for decades. But dare oppose the enshrining of the immorality that nailed Christ to the cross and there will be hell to pay. Yet people are still debating about whether to stay or not.
What is happening is not the sharing of differences among brothers that it is being presented as by those who have taken over the denomination. What is happening is the stupefaction of both clergy and laity by those who put allegiance to organizational unity above allegiance to Christ.
It is the same parlor trick that has been played by the World Council of Churches and the National Council of Churches for decades. In truth, through compromise, unbelief and misplaced loyalty, they have collectively become a synagogue of Satan—a Judas Church.
The previous presiding bishop of ECUSA, Frank Griswold, liked to issue public relations statements waxing eloquent about the facts that the denomination has always embraced diversity of opinion and that "unity amidst diversity" is its highest value. Griswold's replacement, Katharine Jefferts Schori, parrots the same doctrine of demons in flowery language to deceive the elect.
Like Hophni and Phinehas, who despised the offering of the Lord (see 1 Sam. 2:17) and who committed sexual immorality (see v. 22), or like their father, Eli, who knew of his sons' immorality but failed to restrain them (see 1 Sam. 3:13), some modern-day ecclesiastical leaders pretend to serve God while heaping burning coals on their own heads. However, if you defy their flowery sentiments and out of faithfulness to Christ deny the legitimacy of, or obedience to, their new homosexual bishop, then one way or the other, these paragons of inclusiveness will crush you. We have only just begun to see what they will do with dissenters.
Like Judas Iscariot, the leaders of this apostasy pretend to break bread with our Lord. As if donning costumes to disguise their union with Baal, they wear the white robes instituted by God at Sinai to reflect the holy calling of the priest (see Ex. 28:39-43; Lev. 16:4). With professions of love for Christ they betray Him, as it were, with a kiss, selling their souls for power, prestige and pieces of silver.
The Future of the Church
Because of his ongoing duplicity, there came a time when Satan entered Judas and he went out to betray the Lord (see Luke 22:1-6). This is why I do not expect to see any turnaround in those denominations that have been living in compromise—supporting the murder of children in their mothers' wombs, knowingly ordaining practicing homosexuals and adulterers, forsaking the Word of God as their infallible guide for faith and doctrine, and teaching others to do the same.
When you see the abomination in the holy place, it is already too late. In other words, when you see the overt display of apostasy being sanctioned by the majority of the leaders within a denomination, Satan has already gained too much ground for that communion to be saved. Having forsaken God's expressed will for so long, having denied themselves the grace of God that flows only to the repentant heart, having refused to demonstrate their professed love of Him through obedience, they have built their houses on sand and are going down.
God will not override the ongoing willful choices of human beings. He will give them into the hands of their lovers, and it will be those lovers who punish them. Satan has entered the ECUSA and other denominations already, and the final act of betrayal is at hand. The only choice faithful followers of Christ have left to them at this point is to flee from the wrath that is to come—to flee before they become so deceived through sloth and compromise that they stand staring into the coming destruction and are lost.
This warning applies to more than those in the ECUSA, however. That denomination is only the most glaring example at the moment. Satan has been at work in the leadership of other communions for so long that they are already set on autopilot for destruction. For example, we are probably not far away from the official sanctioning of homosexual behavior in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.
Many actions and decisions in the United Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church USA are also frighteningly representative of the final stages of apostasy, despite the many good and faithful people who remain in membership. The United Church of Christ has been terminal for decades, having formally endorsed gay marriage as well as welcoming into membership the largest homosexual church in the nation.
And as for the Metropolitan Community Church (the gay church), it has never been a Christian body. It was stillborn from the beginning by rebellion against the Lord it claims to love and serve.
Sadly, many independent, charismatic, fundamentalist and evangelical churches are also guilty of apostasy. Hardly a week goes by before another story of immorality, power grabs or blatant thievery is uncovered among the leadership of one church or another. The Judas Church can be found everywhere and under every guise.
How do we respond? We separate ourselves from it. We refrain from attending it and supporting it. We stop turning our heads the other way and pretending as if nothing is wrong. We speak up, expose the darkness and declare the truth of God's Word.
In the book Bishops in the Church, Anglican clergyman and author John R.W. Stott showed us the way when he wrote: "Both our Lord and His apostles did not shrink when necessary from the task of exposing and overthrowing false teaching.
Distasteful and even dangerous as it is, we cannot conscientiously avoid the same task ourselves. Indeed, in today's church, ravaged by many grievous wolves, there is a great need for good and faithful shepherds, who will not only feed the sheep but rout the wolves."
Shepherd or sheep, clergy or laity, it's our job to rout the wolves. How successful we are will determine the future of the church.

Today there is a road dedication here in Alaska it is called the Walden Point road. only 20 miles from where theyre building the famous bridge to nowhere. but no attention is being paid to this 60 million dollar 17 mile road because it is on the only native reservation in Alaska. The road built from Metlakatla to walden point is a huge boondoggle to the taxpayer and is basically useless. senator ted stevens was there today as was the army brass. The army core of engineers built the road as a training exercise. it is still not finished either . it is not even connected to the town! they havent figured out how to do this yet. the whole indian community is on annette island and exists soley on your tax dollars . theres no jobs except government period. and the citizens of this town pay NO taxes ! they even heve their own ferry boat to travel on that carries 20 vehicles paid for by you! when are the indians going to stand on their own two feet and get off welfare?

Why I Sing... -- Anonymous, 03:32:48 08/09/07 Thu
July 10th, 2007
Today as I was having lunch with my son, daughter and grandson at the local mini-mart- a classmate (and cousin) came by with her daughter and grandchild. She looked at my youngest son, Isaac who is a rambunctious 17 month old lil' one, and said with a smile, "Time for another one!" "Oh no." I replied "No more." She giggled and smiled as I continued, "The doctor said that my heart isn't strong enough to handle another pregnancy."
Her look changed immediately and repentantly said, "Oh yeah, that's right." She stood there as we Ooood and aw'd over the babies that surrounded us and as her little ones were getting wrestless she bid us good-bye and left."
My mind flashed back to Monday, February 6th, 2006 at Ketchikan General Hospital. I had whined to my husband that day before (Sunday) that I had wanted to go home because we had been in Ktn. for what seemed like forever! I just wanted to go home and enjoy our new son and let him meet the rest of the family. "The doctor just wants us here for one more day to make sure everything is okay." Knowing that I wouldn't win that argument, I settled my mind to staying another night in the hospital.
5:15 AM Monday came as I was woken with a small cry - Isaac was awake. Still having my IV poll and not moving around too easily, I woke my husband up who was sleeping soundly (as he could) on the hospital chair. We tended to Isaac's needs, changed him, cuddled him, played with him, studied him to see who he looked more like and before I knew it, it was 7 AM! "I'm tired and want to sleep for a bit now that Isaac is asleep." I told Sam. "Just let the baby sleep with me." So Sam gently placed Isaac at my side, sound asleep and soon I was asleep too.
The next thing I remember is feeling a sharp JAB in my left arm, but I couldn't open my eyes. I felt myself being moved rapidly on a gurney and hearing my husband say, "I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere!" Struggling as hard as I could, I tried to open my eyes to tell them I could feel what they were doing. That's the last thing I remember.
The room was quiet as I opened my eyes and studied my surroundings. I was in a different room, different views, different nurses. I had a tube in my throat so the machine could breath for me and I was unable to speak. My eyes quickly found my husband who was watching me intently. Doctors and nurses were in and out of my room explaining a whole stream of information that i had a hard time comprehending but having confidence that Sam was listening and understood. After the tube was removed I asked Sam what had happened.
He explained that shortly after I had fallen asleep in Ketchikan, I made a gasping sound like I was choking and he immediately knew something was wrong. He picked up the baby and loudly called for nurse while hitting the call button. My heart had suddenly arrested and was rapidly "fluttering" to no rhythm. The first nurse ran into the room and began CPR as a team of every available medical personnal in that hospital rushed to my room. They brought out the crash cart and shocked my heart twice to get it beating again and flew me up to the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage that stormy, snowy day. As I was en route to Anchorage, my youngest daughter had come to pick up her new brother and take him home.
The next few days continued a stream of specialists and doctors who explained that the pregnancy had put too great a strain on my heart and it couldn't take it. I had experienced "Sudden Death" of my heart valves and muscles damaging the left ventricle and weakening it's beat. The Cardiac specialist explained my options on Tuesday and on that Thursday I was on my way to another Hospital to have a Cardia Defibrilator placed to help my heart function. He explained that I had only 30% of my heart function and that people don't generally recover much heart function after such an event. "If you hadn't been in the hospital when it happend, you would have died."
Monday the 6th I arrived in Anchorage, Thursday the 10th I had the ICD placement and Sunday, the 12th (my birthday) I was on a plane flying home.
A few months later I had a follow up appointment with the Doctor who had operated on me and much to his surprise, I had regained 20% function back! As I walked back to my husband and son who was now toddling on the floor, I looked at him and hugged him and told him, 'I regained 20% heart function and they didn't expect it!" We both hugged and cried there in the waiting room of the KIC building, dressed our son and came back home.
And that's why I sing today
I shared all that with you because I KNOW that only a gracious God in all His mercy and love could have helped our little family through such traumatic a situation. If you struggle with life issues or experience pain - there's a God who still saves and heals today, call on Him, He's waiting to hear from you. If you've read this far, allow yourself a moment and thank GOD for the good things that you experienced today and share them with others.

An "exciting life after death story".. read on friends..... -- Anonymous, 15:13:53 07/07/07 Sat
Near-Death Experience NDE Story
of Mellen-Thomas Benedict
Journey Through the Light and Back
In 1982 I died from terminal cancer. The condition I had was inoperable, and any kind of chemotherapy they could give me would just have made me more of a vegetable. I was given six to eight months to live.
I had been an information freak in the1970’s, and I had become increasingly despondent over the nuclear crisis, the ecology crisis, and so forth. So, since I did not have a spiritual basis, I began to believe that nature had made a mistake, and that we were probably a cancerous organism on the planet. I saw no way that we could get out from all the problems we had created for ourselves and the planet. I perceived all humans as cancer, and that is what I got.
That is what killed me. Be careful what your world view is. It can feed back on you, especially if it is a negative world view. I had a seriously negative one. That is what led me into my death. I tried all sorts of alternative healing methods, but nothing helped.
So I determined that this was really just between me and God. I had never really faced God before, or even dealt with God. I was not into any kind of spirituality at the time, but I began a journey into learning about spirituality and alterna¬tive healing. I set out to do all the reading I could and bone up on the subject, because I did not want to be surprised on the other side. So I started reading on various religions and philosophies. They were all very interesting, and gave hope that there was something on the other side. I ended up in hospice care.
I remember waking up one morning at home about 4:30 AM, and I just knew that this was it. This was the day I was going to die. So I called a few friends and said goodbye. I woke up my hospice caretaker and told her. I had a private agreement with her that she would leave my dead body alone for six hours, since I had read that all kinds of interesting things happen when you die. I went back to sleep.
The next thing I remember is the beginning of a typical near-death experience. Suddenly I was fully aware and I was standing up, but my body was in the bed. There was this darkness around me. Being out of my body was even more vivid than ordinary experience. It was so vivid that I could see every room in the house, I could see the top of the house, I could see around the house, I could see under the house.
There was this Light shining. I turned toward the Light. The Light was very similar to what many other people have described in their near-death experiences. It was so magnificent. It is tangible; you can feel it. It is alluring; you want to go to it like you would want to go to your ideal mother’s or father’s arms.
As I began to move toward the Light, I knew intuitively that if I went to the Light, I would be dead. So as I was moving toward the Light I said, “Please wait a minute, just hold on a second here. I want to think about this; I would like to talk to you before I go.” To my surprise, the entire experience halted at that point. You are in control of your life after death experience. You are not on a roller coaster ride.
So my request was honored and I had some conversations with the Light. The Light kept changing into different figures, like Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, mandalas, archetypal images and signs. I asked the Light, “What is going on here? Please, Light, clarify yourself for me. I really want to know the reality of the situation.” I cannot really say the exact words, because it was sort of telepathy.
The Light responded. The information transferred to me was that during your life after death experience your beliefs shape the kind of feedback you are getting before the Light. If you were a Buddhist or Catholic or Fundamentalist, you get a feedback loop of your own stuff. You have a chance to look at it and examine it, but most people do not. As the Light revealed itself to me, I became aware that what I was really seeing was our higher Self matrix.
We all have a higher Self, or an oversoul part of our being. It revealed itself to me in its truest energy form. The only way I can really describe it is that the being of the higher Self is more like a conduit. It did not look like that, but it is a direct connection to the Source that each and every one of us has. We are directly connected to the Source. So the Light was showing me the higher Self matrix. I was not committed to one particular religion. So that is what was being fed back to me during my life after death experience.
As I asked the Light to keep clearing for me, to keep explaining, I understood what the higher Self matrix is. We have a grid around the planet where all the higher Selves are connected. This is like a great company, a next subtle level of energy around us, the spirit level, you might say. Then, after a couple of minutes, I asked for more clarification. I really wanted to know what the universe is about, and I was ready to go at that time. I said “I am ready, take me.”
Then the Light turned into the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen: a mandala of human souls on this planet. Now I came to this with my negative view of what was happening on the planet. So as I asked the Light to keep clarifying for me, I saw in this magnificent mandala how beautiful we all are in our essence, our core. We are the most beautiful creations.
The human soul, the human matrix that we all make together is absolutely fantastic, elegant, exotic, everything. I just cannot say enough about how it changed my opinion of human beings in that instant. I said, “Oh, God, I did not know how beautiful we are.” At any level, high or low, in whatever shape you are in, you are the most beautiful creation, you are.
The revelations coming from the Light and seemed to go on and on, then I asked the Light, “Does this mean that Mankind will be saved?” Then, like a trumpet blast with a shower of spiraling lights, the Great Light spoke, saying, “Remember this and never forget; you save, redeem and heal yourself. You always have. You always will. You were created with the power to do so from before the beginning of the world.”
In that instant I realized even more. I realized that WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN SAVED, and we saved ourselves because we were designed to self-correct like the rest of God’s universe. This is what the second coming is about. I thanked the Light of God with all my heart. The best thing I could come up with was these simple words of total appreciation: “Oh dear God, dear Universe, dear Great Self, I Love My Life.”
The Light seemed to breathe me in even more deeply. It was as if the Light was completely absorbing me. The Love Light is, to this day, indescribable. I entered into another realm, more profound than the last, and became aware of something more, much more. It was an enormous stream of Light, vast and full, deep in the Heart of Life. I asked what this was.
The Light responded, “This is the RIVER OF LIFE. Drink of this manna water to your heart’s content.” So I did. I took one big drink and then another. To drink of Life Itself! I was in ecstasy.
Then the Light said, “You have a desire.” The Light knew all about me, everything past, present and future. “Yes!” I whispered.
I asked to see the rest of the Universe; beyond our solar system, beyond all human illusion. The Light then told me that I could go with the Stream. I did, and was carried Through the Light at the End of the Tunnel. I felt and heard a series of very soft sonic booms. What a rush!
Suddenly I seemed to be rocketing away from the planet on this stream of Life. I saw the earth fly away. The solar system, in all its splendor, whizzed by and disappeared. At faster than light speed, I flew through the center of the galaxy, absorbing more knowledge as I went. I learned that this galaxy, and all of the Universe, is bursting with many different varieties of LIFE. I saw many worlds. The good news is that we are not alone in this Universe!
As I rode this stream of consciousness through the center of the galaxy, the stream was expanding in awesome fractal waves of energy. The super clusters of galaxies with all their ancient wisdom flew by. At first I thought I was going somewhere; actually traveling. But then I realized that, as the stream was expanding, my own consciousness was also expanding to take in everything in the Universe! All creation passed by me. It was an unimaginable wonder! I truly was a Wonder Child; a babe in Wonderland!
At this point, I found myself in a profound stillness, beyond all silence. I could see or perceive FOREVER, beyond Infinity.
I was in the Void.
I was in pre-creation, before the Big Bang. I had crossed over the beginning of time/the First Word/the First vibration. I was in the Eye of Creation. I felt as if I was touching the Face of God. It was not a religious feeling. Simply I was at one with Absolute Life and Consciousness.
When I say that I could see or perceive forever, I mean that I could experience all of creation generating itself. It was without beginning and without end. That’s a mind expanding thought, isn’t it?
Scientists perceive the Big Bang as a single event which created the Universe. I saw during my life after death experience that the Big Bang is only one of an infinite number of Big Bangs creating Universes endlessly and simultaneously. The only images that even come close in human terms would be those created by super computers using fractal geometry equations.
The ancients knew of this. They said God had periodically created new Universes by breathing out, and recreated other Universes by breathing in. These epochs were called Yugas. Modern science called this the Big Bang. I was in absolute, pure consciousness. I could see or perceive all the Big Bangs or Yugas creating and recreating themselves. Instantly I entered into them all simultaneously. I saw that each and every little piece of creation has the power to create. It is very difficult to try to explain this. I am still speechless about this.
It took me years after I returned from my near-death experience to assimilate any words at all for the Void experience. I can tell you this now: the Void is less than nothing, yet more than everything that is! The Void is absolute zero; chaos forming all possibilities. It is Absolute Consciousness; much more than even Universal Intelligence.
The Void is the vacuum or nothingness between all physical manifestations. The SPACE between atoms and their components. Modern science has begun to study this space between everything. They call it Zero point. Whenever they try to measure it, their instruments go off the scale, or to infinity, so to speak. They have no way, as of yet, to measure infinity accurately. There is more of the 0 space in your own body and the Universe than anything else!
What mystics call the Void is not a void. It is so full of energy, a different kind of energy that has created everything that we are. Everything since the Big Bang is vibration, from the first Word, which is the first vibration. The biblical “I am” really has a question mark after it. “I am—What am I?” So creation is God exploring God’s Self through every way imaginable, in an on¬going, infinite exploration through every one of us. I began to see during my near-death experience that everything that is, is the Self, literally, your Self, my Self. Everything is the great Self. That is why God knows even when a leaf falls. That is possible because wherever you are is the center of the universe. Wherever any atom is, that is the center of the universe. There is God in that, and God in the Void.
As I was exploring the Void during my life after death experience and all the Yugas or creations, I was completely out of time and space as we know it. In this expanded state, I discovered that creation is about Absolute Pure Consciousness, or God, coming into the Experience of Life as we know it. The Void itself is devoid of experience. It is pre life, before the first vibration. Godhead is about more than Life and Death. Therefore there is even more than Life and Death to experience in the Universe!
When I realized this I was finished with the Void, and wanted to return to this creation, or Yuga. It just seemed like the natural thing to do. Then I suddenly came back through the second Light, or the Big Bang, hearing several more velvet booms. I rode the stream of consciousness back through all of creation, and what a ride it was! The super clusters of galaxies came through me with even more insights. I passed through the center of our galaxy, which is a black hole. Black holes are the great processors or recyclers of the Universe.
Do you know what is on the other side of a Black Hole? We are; our galaxy, which has been reprocessed from another Universe. In its total energy configuration, the galaxy looked like a fantastic city of lights. All energy this side of the Big Bang is light. Every sub atom, atom, star, planet, even consciousness itself is made of light and has a frequency and/or particle. Light is living stuff. Everything is made of light, even stones. So everything is alive. Everything is made from the Light of God; everything is very intelligent.
As I rode the stream on and on, I could eventually see a huge Light coming. I knew it was the First Light; the higher Self Light Matrix of our solar system. Then the entire solar system appeared in the Light, accompanied by one of those velvet booms.
I could see all the energy that this solar system generates, and it is an incredible light show! I could hear the Music of the Spheres. Our solar system, as do all celestial bodies, generates a unique matrix of light, sound and vibratory energies. Advanced civilizations from other star systems can spot life as we know it in the universe by the vibratory or energy matrix imprint. It is child’s play. The earth’s Wonder child (human beings) make an abundance of sound right now, like children playing in the backyard of the universe.
The Light explained to me that there is no death; we are immortal beings. We have already been alive forever! I realized that we are part of a natural living system that recycles itself endlessly. I was never told that I had to come back. I just knew that I would. It was only natural, from what I had seen during my life after death experience.
I don’t know how long I was with the Light, in human time. But there came a moment when I realized that all my questions had been answered and my return was near. When I say that all my questions were answered on the other side, I mean to say just that. All my questions have been answered. Every human has a different life and set of questions to explore. Some of our questions are Universal, but each of us is exploring this thing we call Life in our own unique way. So is every other form of life, from mountains to every leaf on every tree.
And that is very important to the rest of us in this Universe. Because it all contributes to the Big Picture, the fullness of Life. We are literally God exploring God’s self in an infinite Dance of Life. Your uniqueness enhances all of Life.
As I began my return to the life cycle, it never crossed my mind, nor was I told that I would return to the same body. It just did not matter. I had complete trust in the Light and the Life process. As the stream merged with the great Light, I asked never to forget the revelations and the feelings of what I had learned on the other side.
There was a “Yes.” It felt like a kiss to my soul.
Then I was taken back through the Light into the vibratory realm again. The whole process reversed, with even more information being given to me. I came back home, and I was given lessons from my near-death experience on the mechanics of reincarnation. I was given answers to all those little questions I had: “How does this work? How does that work?” I knew that I would be reincarnated.
The earth is a great processor of energy, and individual consciousness evolves out of that into each one of us. I thought of myself as a human for the first time, and I was happy to be that. From what I have seen, I would be happy to be an atom in this universe. An atom. So to be the human part of God... this is the most fantastic blessing. It is a blessing beyond our wildest estimation of what blessing can be. For each and every one of us to be the human part of this experience is awesome, and magnificent. Each and every one of us, no matter where we are, screwed up or not, is a blessing to the planet, right where we are.
I went through the reincarnation process expecting to be a baby somewhere. But I was given a lesson on how individual identity and consciousness evolve. I was so surprised when I opened my eyes. I do not know why, because I understood it, but it was still such a surprise to be back in this body, back in my room with someone looking over me crying her eyes out. It was my hospice caretaker. She had given up an hour and a half after finding me dead. My body was stiff and inflexible. She went into the other room. Then I awakened and saw the light outside. I tried to get up to go to it, but I fell out of the bed. She heard a loud “clunk,” ran in and found me on the floor.
When I recovered, I was very surprised and yet very awed about what had happened to me during my near-death experience. At first all the memory of the trip that I have now was not there. I kept slipping out of this world and kept asking, “Am I alive?” This world seemed more like a dream than that one. Within three days I was feeling normal again, clearer, yet different than I had ever felt in my life. My memory of my near-death experience came back later. I could see nothing wrong with any human being I had ever seen. Before that I was really judgmental. I thought a lot of people were really screwed up, in fact I thought that everybody was screwed up but me. But I got clear on all that.
About three months later a friend said I should get tested, so I went and got the scans and so forth. I really felt good, so I was afraid of getting bad news. I remember the doctor at the clinic looking at the before and after scans, saying, “Well, there is nothing here now.” I said, “Really, it must be a miracle”’ He said “No, these things happen; they are called spontaneous remission.” He acted very unimpressed. But here was a miracle, and I was impressed, even if no one else was.
During my near-death experience I had a descent into what you might call Hell, and it was very surprising. I did not see Satan or evil. My descent into Hell was a descent into each person’s customized human misery, ignorance, and darkness of not knowing. It seemed like a miserable eternity. But each of the millions of souls around me had a little star of light always available. But no one seemed to pay attention to it. They were so consumed with their own grief, trauma and misery. But, after what seemed an eternity, I started calling out to that Light, like a child calling to a parent for help.
Then the Light opened up and formed a tunnel that came right to me and insulated me from all that fear and pain, That is what Hell really is. So what we are doing is learning to hold hands, to come together. The doors of Hell are open now. We are going to link up, hold hands, and walk out of Hell together. The Light came to me and turned into a huge golden angel. I said, “Are you the angel of death?” It expressed to me that it was my oversoul, my higher Self matrix, a super ancient part of ourselves. Then I was taken to the Light.
Soon our science will quantify spirit. Isn’t that going to be wonderful? We are coming up with devices now that are sensitive to subtle energy or spirit energy. Physicists use these atomic colliders to smash atoms to see what they are made of. They have got it down to quarks and charm, and all that. Well, one day they are going to come down to the little thing that holds it all together, and they are going to have to call that ... God. We are just beginning to understand that we are creating too, as we go along. As I saw forever, I came to a realm during my near-death experience in which there is a point where we pass all knowledge and begin creating the next fractal, the next level. We have that power to create as we explore. And that is God expanding itself through us.
Since my return I have experienced the Light spontaneously, and I have learned how to get to that space almost any time in my meditation. Each one of you can do this. You do not have to die or have a near-death experience to do this. It is within your equipment; you are wired for it already. The body is the most magnificent Light being there is. The body is a universe of incredible Light. Spirit is not pushing us to dissolve this body. That is not what is happening. Stop trying to become God; God is becoming you. Here.
I asked God: “What is the best religion on the planet? Which one is right?” And Godhead said, with great love: “I don’t care.” That was incredible grace. When Godhead said, “I don’t care,” I immediately understood that it is for us to care about. It is important, because we are the caring beings. It matters to us and that is where it is important. What you have is the energy equation in spirituality. Ultimate Godhead does not care if you are Protestant, Buddhist, or whatever. It is all a blooming facet of the whole. I wish that all religions would realize it and let each other be. It is not the end of each religion, but we are talking about the same God. Live and let live. Each has a different view. And it all adds up to the big picture; it is all important.
I went over to the other side during my near-death experience with a lot of fears about toxic waste, nuclear missiles, the population explosion, the rainforest. I came back loving every single problem. I love nuclear waste. I love the mushroom cloud; this is the holiest mandala that we have manifested to date, as an archetype. It, more than any religion or philosophy on earth, brought us together all of a sudden, to a new level of consciousness. Knowing that maybe we can blow up the planet fifty times, or 500 times, we finally realize that maybe we are all here together now.
For a period they had to keep setting off more bombs to get it in to us. Then we started saying, “we do not need this any more.” Now we are actually in a safer world than we have ever been in, and it is going to get safer. So I came back from my near-death experience loving toxic waste, because it brought us together. These things are so big. As Peter Russell might say, these problems are now “soul size.” Do we have soul size answers” YES!
The clearing of the rain forest will slow down, and in fifty years there will be more trees on the planet than in a long time. If you are into ecology, go for it; you are that part of the system that is becoming aware. Go for it with all your might, but do not be depressed. It is part of a larger thing.
Earth is in the process of domesticating itself. It is never again going to be as wild a place as it once was. There will be great wild places, reserves where nature thrives. Gardening and reserves will be the thing in the future. Population increase is getting very close to the optimal range of energy to cause a shift in consciousness. That shift in consciousness will change politics, money, energy.
After dying, going through my near-death experience and coming back, I really respect life and death. In our DNA experiments we may have opened the door to a great secret. Soon we will be able to live as long as we want to live in this body.
After living 150 years or so, there will be an intuitive soul sense that you will want to change channels. Living forever in one body is not as creative as reincarnation, as transferring energy in this fantastic vortex of energy that we are in. We are actually going to see the wisdom of life and death, and enjoy it. As it is now, we have already been alive forever.
This body, that you are in, has been alive forever. It comes from an unending stream of life, going back to the Big Bang and beyond.
This body gives life to the next life, in dense and subtle energy.
This body has been alive forever already.

Ways to praise God? -- Anonymous, 01:19:02 04/26/07 Thu
Just a simple question? Are there a variety ways of praising and worshipping God? Other than lifting your hands in the air?
If so, why are some people so concerned how others praise God if they don't raise their hands and move all over the place?

Prepare to survive whats coming, should you be "left behind".. -- Anonymous, 17:51:45 07/01/07 Sun
Prepare Now to Survive the Great Warning and the Great Chastisement...
"My child, you speculate much about the coming Warning. I have asked you many times not to speculate on dates, but I give you one indication that the time is ripe. When you see, when you hear, when you feel the revolution in Rome, when you see the Holy Father fleeing, seeking a refuge in another land, know that the time is ripe." - Jesus, September 14, 1976
Prepare!
Our Lady of the Roses has come to prepare the world spiritually and materially for the great sorrows that are to come upon mankind, begging us to return to a life of grace. As She has said many times, Heaven has come to save our souls. There is only one ultimate tragedy for each of us, and that is if we lose our eternal soul. Each of us must prepare spiritually by living the Commandments, by returning to the Sacraments and a life of prayer, including the daily Rosary. Jesus tells us, "If you were engaged in mortal combat of the body with another, you would expound great effort to win your cause. Therefore, My children, why have you not used your energies for the salvation of your eternal soul?" (November 24, 1973)
Prepare for the Great Warning
Cleanse your soul
"You must cleanse your souls of all sin, mortal and venial."
- Our Lady, December 24, 1973
Beginning of the terrible sorrows…
Our Lady - "I come to earth from Heaven. I have roamed your world in tears. It truly now rains teardrops from Heaven. With the coming of the Warning to mankind, pray and pray much, for it is the beginning of the terrible sorrows." (7-15-73)
The Heavens In Upheaval
Jesus - "My children, as time proceeds further onto the road that leads to the great Chastisement, as man goes further into darkness of spirit, there will be set upon the world great trial. You have entered into the time of great sorrows. You will find the heavens in upheaval; plagues, floods, great heat will befall mankind. My children, it will be a test for all." (6-4-77)
You would grovel on your knees…
Our Lady - "You cannot count your earth - years as being long any longer. If only I could show you, the prideful and boastful United States and Canada - if I could show you what the enemy has in store for you now, you would grovel on your knees to make restitution to the Eternal Father. But now this must be taught to you in a most sorrowful way." (9-27-86)
No Third Reprieve
Note: In the past the Great Warning has been postponed twice. A third postponement will not be given:
Jesus - "What can I say at this time? How can I promise further reprieves for an unrepentant generation?" (12-24-75)
Our Lady - "The merciful heart of the Eternal Father has given you two reprieves in the past, My children. The third reprieve shall not be given." (4-5-75)
The sky shall roll back like a scroll . . .
The Bible tells us of the Warning; "And the Heavens passed away as a scroll that is rolled up." (Apoc 6:14)
Our Lady - "There will be a tremendous explosion, and the sky shall roll back like a scroll. This force shall go within the very core of the human. He will understand his offenses to his God. However, this warning will be of short duration, and many shall continue upon their road to perdition, so hard are the hearts hardened now, My child." (6-12-76)
The following is made in large bold type to stress its importance. Read and reread it very carefully.
Beware of the sunrise!
Our Lady - "As the day follows night, so shall this Warning follow soon. Beware of the sunrise! Do not look up to the sky - the flash! Beware of the sunrise! Do not look up to the sky - the flash! Close your windows; draw your shades, remain inside. Do not venture outside your door, or you will not return. Pray! Prostrate yourselves upon your floors! Pray with arms outstretched and beg for mercy of your God the Father.
"Do not seek to receive your animals into your homes, for the animals of those who have remained of well spirit will be taken care of.
"O My children, how many will try to go back and restore their homes when it is too late!
"Keep blessed candles, water, blankets, food within your homes. The candles of those who have remained in the state of grace shall not be extinguished, but the candles in the homes of those who have given themselves to satan shall not burn! Amen I say to you: as night follows day, a great darkness shall descend upon mankind." (6-12-76)
Read the above bold section again. It is most important!
The Voice . . .
On April 21, 1973 – Our Lady let Veronica see and experience: "It is as though everything exploded in the sky – the flash! It is very hot, very warm. It feels like a burning. Now – the sky is very white... colors: blues, purples, it’s like a huge explosion. NOW – this VOICE, the VOICE, the VOICE, Our Lady says it is a voice within you: ‘YOUR WARNING BEFORE THE CHASTISEMENT – – FLASH, FIRE, AND THE VOICE WITHIN YOU – THE FINAL WARNING BEFORE THE CHASTISEMENT!!
Part of a comet hits the sun…
Veronica - Oh! Oh! I see the sky; it's becoming a very, very bright red, almost an orange, a red - orange. And it's like I'm suspended, and the light is so bright it hurts my eyes. And I see this huge ball. Now in the center - it's, it's a gray colored ball, almost - oh, I don't know what it's made of, but a rock - like formation. But as it's turning now, it's beginning to change color, becoming a purplish, hazy, orange - looking ball. And now it's beginning to gather great speed. And as it's going faster across the sky, part of it has broken off now, and it's going now behind the sun. I see the huge ball of the sun. It's a ball of fire. And this is another ball of fire. And a piece now is broken off, and it's hitting into the sun. And there - oh! Oh! It's an explosion. Oh! I can't look. Oh - h - h! Oh - h - h!
Everything seems so still, and I see people now holding onto the chairs in their houses. Everything's rocking. It - it's like the very foundation is rocking in the houses. And they're all frightened. And many are running into the streets. Oh, but others are running and closing their windows. They're pulling down the shades. Oh! Oh! Others are looking - I can see them looking through their windows, but they do not go outside. They must not go outside.
I see a great mist coming in the sky - a great mist. And there are pieces of - they appear to be rock or dust rock falling. And the people who are outside, they're stumbling. Something's happening to them. They don't seem to - they're like drunk; they're stumbling. And now the ones I'm watching, two of them have fallen. They've fallen on their faces now, and they're trying to get up. Now they're - they're falling forward, and they're not moving.
And I see now this darkness - a great, great mist. And then a deep, musty - looking haze, and it's now going and passing across the moon. And now there's no moon; there's no light. The moon's absolutely covered. I can't see it; there's no light.
Now the sun also seems to be shooting out particles - I don't know - it's particles. And I can see this other ball that looks like a small sun now; it's coming from behind. And it's still - it's twirling, but it is also shooting out particles of, of rock, fiery rock. (12-24-73)
The Flash and the Great Heat
Veronica - Do not look up to the sky - the flash! Oh! It's - oh! I see a terrible light. It's a flash, but it's hot. Oh, it's so hot! Oh! Now I hear voices, and the people are screaming. They're frightened. There's no reason to be frightened. Our Lady will save you. There's no reason to be frightened. Don't run! Don't go outside; stay inside. Ohh. Pray; remain on your knees and pray!" (6-8-73)
Spiritual protection...
The following is a list of things we need to do to prepare spiritually for the Great Warning:
Cleanse your soul
"You must cleanse your souls of all sin, mortal and venial."
- Our Lady, December 24, 1973
Ten Commandments
"These are the Commandments of the Father. Break one and the gates of hell are open to you. You will place these in prominence in your household." - March 24, 1974
Crucifix on front and back doors...
Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors." (6-30-84)
Lessening
"The beads of prayer [Rosary] will be the major instrument for the lessening of the Chastisement upon your country." - Our Lady, April 14, 1973
Wear the Brown Scapular
"I promise you all, when you wear My Brown Scapular, you shall not be condemned to hell. I repeat: if you pass on over the veil and are wearing the Brown Scapular, you shall not see the fires of hell." - Our Lady, September 14, 1985
Our Lady's promise...
"My children, you must all unite in prayer, link for link, using the sacramentals given to you from Heaven, the beads of prayer, your Rosary, the Scapular of life; for I promise you: All who wear the Brown Scapular shall never feel the fires of hell. Even the greatest of sinner will be converted and saved if he will wear the Brown Scapular when he passes over the veil, when he leaves, My child and My children, his body at the moment you call upon earth death. But I say unto you as your Mother, for My Son and all Heaven, there is no death! For you continue to live with full consciousness when you leave your body. Then, My child and My children, what will be your reaction if you have not used every means possible to store graces for a quick entrance into the Kingdom of your God?" - Our Lady, August 14, 1979
Spared
"Remember: one Rosary a day, at least - at least, I say, must be prayed in the home that is to be spared." - Jesus, April 14, 1984
Keep Rosary with you at all times
"I look across the world, and I see so few that carry their beads of prayer. Whatever shall they do when they are forced to run? When the Chastisement comes upon you, many will flee with whatever they have on their backs or on their persons. Therefore, My children, it is not for decoration that I have asked you to wear your beads of prayer about your neck. It was for when you flee; you will have your armor upon you." - Our Lady, May 30, 1973
Visit Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
"My Son is very lonely in His House. Won't you come with compassion and ease His loneliness? You do not abandon those you love. Have you no love for your Creator? Have you no love for He Who gave His life upon earth for you? Have you no love for He Who still sheds His Blood for you?" - Our Lady, March 18, 1973
Your refuge
"My child, this is My Son. We ask all mankind to save their eternal soul, their immortal soul, in the Blood, the wounds of My Son. The tabernacles of the world shall be your refuge. Come to My Son. He will nourish you with His Body." - Our Lady, July 15,1975
Return to the Sacraments
"Return to the graces of your Sacraments and Holy Church, or condemn yourselves to eternity with Lucifer! Consecrate your home with the Holy Spirit. Use the waters of life to chase the demons from within your homes."
- St. Joachim, July 25, 1973
Commandments must be followed
"Permissiveness shall not be accepted by your God. Sin is sin; there is no compromise for sin. Mortal sin is a grievous offense to the Eternal Father. The Commandments shall be followed without permissiveness."
- Jesus, November 21, 1977
Confess mortal sins to a priest
"Pray a constant vigilance of prayer, My children. All who are in the pure spirit of light will have nothing to fear. If you fall victim to satan, you must immediately run to receive a new store of grace from your pastor in confession and the receiving of My Son's Body. My children, you must concentrate now all on saving the souls of your children and those you love. There is not much time left." - Our Lady, August 13, 1977
Supplies & preparations:
1) Heaven’s Home Protection Packet...
Our Lord stated we must have crucifixes upon the outside of all of our outside doors. In the "Heaven’s Home Protection Packet" there are instructions, four crucifixes, and a tube of special cement for wooden or metal crucifixes. Wooden crucifixes adhere better to the doors when the aluminum strap is removed from the back. Put a light coat of cement on the back of the crucifix and then press it to the outside of the door. If you have any problems, you can call us at 616-698-6448 for assistance. This Heaven’s Home Protection Packet is available for a donation of $5.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling. Send $8.00 to TLD Ministries, P.O. Box 40, Lowell, MI 49331. Item # P15 (Order Form)
2) Heaven’s Personal Protection Packet . . .
Our Lady tells us to be protected from all evil, we must wear the following sacramentals around our necks: a rosary, a crucifix, the St. Benedict medal, Our Lady of the Roses medal, the Miraculous Medal, and the scapular. We have all of these sacramentals in a packet we call "Heaven's Personal Protection Packet." This packet is available for a donation of $5.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling. Send $8.00 to TLD Ministries, P.O. Box 40, Lowell, MI 49331. Item # P5 (Order Form)
3) Keep blessed candles on hand.
Our Lady asks us to keep blessed candles for the Warning. We have available in a package 2 blessed beeswax 5 5/8 candles. Item #M16 for a suggested donation of $4.00 each.
4) Keep blessed Rose Petals and medals on hand
The Rose Petals and medals blessed by Jesus and Mary are for cures and conversions.
5) Keep a Bible that was printed before 1964 and other traditional religious books.
6) Pray to the Holy Ghost for guidance to make the right decisions for the days ahead.
7) Make Holy Hours before Our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
We should make weekly Holy Hours at a minimum. It is best if we made a daily Holy Hour.
For two thousand years the Roman Catholic Church has taught that the Most Blessed Sacrament contains the "Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ." In His Eucharistic Presence, Jesus lives among us as the One who loves us and gave Himself up for us.
We have discovered a most fantastic video titled: I am the Bread of Life. This video is an up close personal look at how the lives of people in San Antonio, Texas, have been dramatically touched by their devotion to Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament through Eucharistic Adoration. Their compelling stories inspire viewers to a more intimate relationship with Our Eucharistic Jesus. It tells of the tremendous graces, blessings, and miracles occurring in people’s lives. There are adoration programs in over sixty-five churches in the San Antonio Diocese, which is transforming the area.
This is a profoundly moving testimony to the power, love, graces, and mercy people like you and me are receiving from the Real Presence of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament. It is a personal witness to what Eucharistic Adoration can do in your life. This most extraordinary video costs $20.00. If you are not absolutely thrilled with this video your money will be cheerfully refunded. Item #V85
Food of the Angels . . .
Our Lady - "I have a great secret to give to you and all those who are knowledgeable. Human food is not necessary. Know, there is a secret I reveal to you at this time. You can be nourished by the Body and Blood of My Son. For the secret, My child, is that you will be fed the manna from Heaven.
"You asked, My child, what is `manna'? At this time, My child, let us just call it the food of the angels." (9-13-74)
Home spared in Hiroshima, Japan . . .
There is connection between atomic explosion in Hiroshima, Japan and the events in Fatima, because one group of Jesuits (most notably, Fr. Schiffer) survived this explosion and they lived right in the middle of Hiroshima where the explosion occurred. They prayed the Rosary daily, as requested by Our Lady of Fatima. Scientists were not able to find an answer on this but theologians did: "They lived the Message of Fatima".
Physical protection...
Sudden Great Cold To Come
Jesus - "Do not be afeared, My child; retain your crucifix on your doors. And keep your supply of earthly goods, though they are needed for your human body; the canned food, the candles, the water, and the blankets. A sudden cold shall come upon mankind and many shall die from the cold."
Store canned goods, water and blankets...
Our Lady - "My children, not only with the canned foods will you store just food, but you must also make known to your families and your friends that they had best keep blankets and water in tight containers; for there will be on the onset of the Chastisement, there will be nothing that you can buy due to contamination." (7-1-85)
Hunger In America
Our Lady - "My children in the United States of America, must you go hungry? Many parts of your country shall suffer from want of food, for the winter will be cold. Many shall die in the coming year, My children. There will be accidents that are not accidents. Hunger shall be in the homes of many." (12-7-78)
1) Water storage
A clean source of water is absolutely essential to survival. Water is the most important element in survival experience. Water is more important than food. The human body can survive several weeks without food but only a few days without water an adequate supply of fresh water. Dehydration can cause severe mental impairment and eventually death. Obtaining a source of clean drinking water for future survival is an absolute necessity.
Do not use plastic milk bottles. They are designed to disintegrate in 6 months. Heavy plastic is needed to store water. McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and delis have heavy plastic pickle buckets that are great to store food and water.
2) Food storage
The Bible and the Bayside Prophecies tell us there is going to be a famine in the last days. It would be foolish not to prepare.
A minimum of one month supply is recommended. It is preferable to have one or two year’s or more supply of food, properly stored and on hand for any emergency will sustain you and your family, regardless of what happens with the world’s political, economic or weather situation.
When you go shopping each week buy additional amounts of items you use for storage. Store, date and rotate your food and other items. Many stores have sales on different canned goods each week.
Grains such as different kinds of beans, lentils, and rice are inexpensive to buy and easy to store. Always remember to have some way to cook these grains and sprout them. Be sure to keep them in tight containers.
Spices are also important to change the taste of beans or rice so they don't get boring.
Iodized salt is another key item to store. It is a necessary item to survive.
The Mormons store wheat, honey, salt, and non-fat powered milk. These four food items have all the nutrition to survive. The wheat can be sprouted or cooked for cereal or ground into flour to make bread.
Sprouting of seeds such as alfalfa is an excellent source of nutritious foods. Making the Best of Basics book has an excellent chapter on sprouting. It is simple and easy.
Store extra food for your loved ones or as an item for bartering. In the future food will be a key bartering item.
Keep a supply of sterno heaters to heat food and water.
3) Medical supplies, prescriptions and sanitation
Make a list of medical and sanitation supplies you may need. Keep additional prescriptions on hand if possible. Possible substitutions can be made from a health food store. One person found organic thyroid (kelp) tablets that were the same size as her prescription at 1/4 the cost. Now she could stock up for the future when she will be unable to get or fill her subscription.
The following was the title of an article after Hurricane Mitch: Cardiac patients run short of nitroglycerin tablets after hurricane. Keep this in mind – for all health conditions and medical needs – you will need to have at least a 3-day supply in an emergency kit – but if possible – a 3-month supply available would be of great benefit.
A lot of doctors will write subscriptions for 3 months worth of medicine. Group Health in Washington State will fill prescriptions for 3 months time. Talk with your doctor. Tell him you are setting up an emergency kit in case of disaster and would like to have a stock of medicine. Think along these lines – what would I need most if…. Then prepare yourself and loved ones with what you think you will need.
Store toilet paper, rubbing alcohol, Epsom salts, hydrogen peroxide, etc. Also plan for some type of toilet facilities. If the water is off then toilets won't flush.
Have a First-Aid kit, supplies and books on hand. Watch a first aid video. A minor injury in the future may be life threatening because doctors may not be available. Know how to treat different types of minor injuries.
Keep an extra pair of eyeglasses in a case of an emergency.
For more help in finding what you may need, look in the front of your phone book for emergency preparations. There are excellent books listed in this report.
4) Household products
Soap is one of the most important items to have. In World War II some people were continuously ill because they didn't have soap for dishes, laundry, bathing, or for washing their hands.
Matches are very important to start fires for heating and cooking. Keep them stored in waterproof containers.
5) Have material to cover windows . . .
There will be flashes of lighting and peals of thunder and other noises outside during the Great Warning. It would be advisable to have room-darkening shades, heavy drapes, cardboard, Styrofoam sheets or other material to cover the windows. Window coverings with an insulation factor will be helpful in the cold weather.
6) Pets will be protected during the Great Warning
Our Lady - "Do not seek to receive your animals into your homes, for the animals of those who have remained of well spirit will be taken care of." (6-12-76)
The three day test...
In the middle of winter and in the middle of summer turn off the water, gas or heat, electricity and see how well you survive for three days. Just imagine what life would be like without utilities. This will help give you ideas of what you need to do to prepare for the days ahead.
Making the Best of Basics book – a must . . .
Look at the freezing weather, the floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes happening now. Also, there is rotting crops and the coming stock market crash.

Peace of mind follows preparation. Let Making the Best of Basics help you prepare for the days ahead and give your loved ones a measure of peace and security in a most uncertain future.
I urge each and everyone to prepare NOW, not when it is convenient, but to do so NOW. Don't delay any longer. Get your spiritual relationship right with God and prepare for emergencies and natural disasters. Store water, food, blankets, blessed candles, and other supplies for emergencies.
Get this book first and get going, Now! It is better to be ready six months too early than one day too late! This one of a kind book, Making the Best of Basics, is available for $20.00 + $4.50 S&H. Item #B314. You may use your MasterCard, Visa, or American Express and call 616-698-6448.

Wright's Complete Disaster Survival Manual . . .
Are you prepared for a hurricane that turns your home into rubble? An earthquake that leaves you and your family without shelter, food, or water? A flood that makes your home unlivable? Most people don’t want to think about these things – until it’s too late. Author Ted Wright grew up during the Blitz in London and knows first-hand about man-made and natural disasters. He knows that most of the problems occur after the disaster, not during it. He knows that simple planning beforehand can mean the difference between life and death.
This book covers a variety of possible disasters and considers almost any place one might happen to be when it strikes. In all cases, advance planning combined with relatively inexpensive preparations will greatly enhance your chance of survival, whether you are caught at home, at work, at school, or on the road.
One needs only to remember Hurricane Andrew, or the recent earthquake in California, to know that anything can happen and frequently does.
This extraordinary book titled Wright's Complete Disaster Survival Manual costs $15.00 plus S&H. Item #319
The Green Pharmacy book . . .
In the days ahead we may not be able to get the subscriptions that are needed. What can we do? The Green Pharmacy book tells how to use herbs in place of subscriptions.
Many diseases and conditions for which we turn to modern medicine can also be treated naturally with healing herbs, medicinal foods, and other natural remedies – and these treatments can be safer, less expensive, and possibly even more effective than traditional methods. Let Dr. James Duke, the worlds leading authority on healing herbs, lead you through the vast world of natural remedies – from Anise for Asthma to Violet for Varicose Veins, and everything in between.
With just a few trips to the health-food store, the supermarket, or your own backyard – and with the help of Dr. Duke – you’ll have everything you need to create your own Natural Medicine Cabinet for the end-times. This extraordinary book costs $7.00 plus S&H. Item #B320

Monster Heat Wave bakes United States. Will this lead to the Great Children's Plague?
"Our Lady told you several years ago that there would be great floods, and there were great floods; that there would be a great heat, and that will come soon; and after that there will be a great plague." - Jesus, June 18, 1983
Saturday, the fiery axis of a major heat wave stretched north to south over the Great Plains, but with serious headway made eastward into the Midwest. Sunday, a withering, even dangerous, melding of high heat and heightened humidity will challenge weather records while spreading discomfort right across the nation's mid-sector. In states such as Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, high temperatures of at least 95 degrees and, in many instances, near 100, will be set. The actual temperature reading will hardly tell the whole story. Take, for instance, a temperature of 98 degrees with the dew point at a steamy 74 degrees. The effect upon the human body will be much more like a temperature of 110 degrees. Not only is this uncomfortable to virtually all people, but it can be life-threatening given prolonged exposure in the hot sun. It is best to remember the heat wave safety tips: Slow down. Keep out of the sun. Drink plenty of fluids, water being best of all.

There will be visited upon your country a plague. Many children will be taken from your world. It will be an act of mercy from the Father. Many young souls will be destined for the kingdom of hell, claimed by Lucifer, were they to remain upon earth." - Our Lady, February 1, 1973
The awesome Bayside Prophecies... http://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:
Great Heat to come soon...
Jesus - "My Mother has directed you well through this stage of man's progressing towards sanctity. However, you must remember this: words were given, and actions have taken place. Our Lady told you several years ago that there would be great floods, and there were great floods; that there would be a great heat, and that will come soon; and after that there will be a great plague. You had a plague now, My children - two diseases unknown in cure for mankind. Did not My Mother, pass along to you that knowledge that there would be diseases that your scientists will not be able to explain nor stop? They will find not cure for it.
"Now, My children, I tell you this: I do not wish to come to you as a visitor with dire warnings, but the object of My coming is to warn you that you may do something and correct the evil that has been perpetrated by the few.
The Plague among the Children...
Our Lady - "My child and My children, I have counseled you on the approaching plague among children because of the sin of man, this cannot be avoided, this cannot be held back, My child." (6-18-81)
Plague to Claim Many Children...
Our Lady - "There will be visited upon your country a plague! Many children will be taken from your world. It will be an act of mercy from the Father. Many young souls will be destined for the kingdom of hell, claimed by Lucifer, were they to remain upon earth." (2-1-73)
The little ones...
"Sin, My child, has become a way of life. Whatever shall become of the children, the little ones?
"It is for this reason, My child, that the Father plans to send a plague upon the world. Many young will die. It is in this manner that many young will be saved. Pray, My child, much, for many parents will cry bitter tears." - Our Lady of the Roses, December 6, 1974
An Act of Mercy...
"There will be visited upon your country a plague. Many children will be taken from your world. It will be an act of mercy from the Father. Many young souls will be destined for the kingdom of hell, claimed by Lucifer, were they to remain upon earth." - Our Lady of the Roses, February 1, 1973
Devastating Plague Within Six Months...
"There will be one more most devastating plague upon you. That will come within the next six months, My children. You ask, My child, why is this allowed? My child, you have forgotten the real reason for all this: man will benefit from it in the end. For I once said to you many years ago that penance is difficult, but after penance there is a great joy." (6-18-83)
CHILDREN'S PLAGUE*
"It will be the death of the children. Tell the parents that the angel of death will enter their homes. They will try to use human reason but will not find the cause." - Our Lady in locution, March 22, 1994

Read and see the truth about Macedonia and the Macedonian nation. -- Anonymous, 08:54:31 06/05/07 Tue
MACEDONIAN BOOK 2006 - MACEDONIA FOR THE MACEDONIANS!
Read about Communism and Democracy, Justice and Solidarity, War and Peace, Discriminations and Violations and so on.
Read and see the truth about Macedonia and the Macedonian nation.
My name is Ljupco Mircevski-Trepet and I am a Macedonian, born in Macedonia.
For many years I have fought against the violations and discriminations of the Macedonian people executed by different countries in the world, especially the Western World and the Asian occupants.
This is a CD-book about the Macedonian question and the Macedonian nation. The CD-book contains part 1 (430 pages) and part 2 (502 pages).
This is a voluminous collection of material containing protest letters to different international organisations, institutes, governments and so on, answers and reactions from some them, pictures and maps and much more. The main part of the material is written in English (95%) but there are also texts in Macedonian, German and Scandinavian.
Macedonia is a nation that has suffered oppression during decades, genocide and ethnic cleansing. Macedonia is a nation the world has forgotten about.
Western authors, historians, experts, archaeologists teachers, professors and politicians have deprived the Macedonian nation of its history, traditions, culture, identity, literature, symbols and land, and falsified our Macedonian antiquity.
In schools, children are deceived and indoctrinated with "Greek" history, mythology, Gods and literature instead of being taught the truth.
Before 1860, "Greece" ("Hellas") did not exist. Neither did any "Greek" ("Hellenism") nationality. Before 1913, no Serbian "Albanian" or "Bulgarian" nationality or country existed. Before the Second World War, no Montenegrin, Croatian, Bosnian or Slovenian nationality or country existed. All of this is old Macedonian territory. As evidence, there are ancient historian maps presented in book 1.
The media of the western world has never revealed the truth about Macedonia, only presented fabricated, anti-Macedonian propaganda.
During the 20th century we have heard and seen the Western world's propaganda, discrimination and violations against Macedonia and the Macedonian nation. Now it is time for us to make our voices heard and to inform the world about the truth. We want to show the world our struggle for justice and reveal to the world the truth about Macedonia and the Macedonian nation.
I want to warn the readers about the shocking pictures in the book, of young Macedonians, some tortured, others massacred in the spring of 2001 by "Albanian" Nazi fascist extremists and terrorists and with the help of corrupt Macedonian traitors, who call themselves politicians and the Western World's Governments, and the Western World's organizations the NATO, the UN and the EU.
This is an echo of the Second World War when Hitler's nazis and Mussolini's fascists occupied Macedonia and gave the "Albanian" terrorists and fascists permission to massacre, murder and slaughter hundreds of thousands of Macedonians. Now the NATO, the UN and the EU are the barbarian, performing the same task as Hitler and Mussolini did. We Macedonians will never forget nor forgive this.
Many people have asked why the CD-book is named Macedonia for the Macedonians. The answer to this question will be revealed when you read the CD-book.
The price of the CD-book is 16 Euro including shipping. Would you like to be a distributor? The price is then 10 Euro per CD-book including shipping, if you order 20 CD-books or more.
To order the CD-book send an e-mail to: Ljupco Mircevski-Trepet Ljupco_Mircevski_Trepet@hotmail.com, TREPET_1@hotmail.com
Please visit my web site: http://trepet.ds4a.com ; http://trepet.1colony.com
I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed when buying this book. I can promise you an interesting and exciting reading.

MACEDONIAN BOOK 2006 - MACEDONIA FOR THE MACEDONIANS!
Read about Communism and Democracy, Justice and Solidarity, War and Peace, Discriminations and Violations and so on.
Read and see the truth about Macedonia and the Macedonian nation.
My name is Ljupco Mircevski-Trepet and I am a Macedonian, born in Macedonia.
For many years I have fought against the violations and discriminations of the Macedonian people executed by different countries in the world, especially the Western World and the Asian occupants of Macedonian territory.
I have written several protest letters to all the great organisations that claim to be democratic, loyal and fair. In these letters I have written and demanded from the anti-democratic organisations and governments in the West that they should not meddle in Macedonia or violate and discriminate the Macedonian people and falsify our history.
Macedonia is a nation that has suffered oppression during decades, genocide and ethnic cleansing. Macedonia is a nation that has been shattered and that the world has forgotten about.
Western authors, historians, experts, archaeologists teachers, professors and politicians have deprived the Macedonian nation of its history, traditions, culture, identity, literature, symbols and land, and falsified our Macedonian antiquity.
The media of the Western World has never revealed the truth about Macedonia, only presented fabricated, anti-Macedonian propaganda. During the 20th century we have heard and seen the Western World's propaganda, discrimination and violations against Macedonia and the Macedonian nation. Now it is time for us to make our voices heard and to inform the world about the truth. We want to show the world our struggle for justice and reveal to the world the truth about Macedonia and the Macedonian nation.
I have put together all of the letters that I have written into a CD-book. However, the CD-book is not only about the Macedonian question and the Macedonian nation but also about how the Western World treats immigrants; the discriminations and violations against immigrants (A hell of a life for immigrants in the Western World). It is also about the Western World's crime and the provocations and the promotion of war outside its borders.
The CD-book contains part 1 (430 pages) and part 2 (502) pages. This is a voluminous collection of material containing protest letters to different international organisations, institutes, governments and so on, answers and reactions from some of them, pictures and maps and much more. The main part of the material is written in English (95%) but there are also texts in Macedonian, German and Scandinavian.
My struggle for Macedonia has had many positive reactions. In this CD-book you will find the truth and not fabricated stories as you will find many journalists and authors to write. When reading this book, many of you will change your opinion regarding history and about the Western World's democracy, justice and solidarity.
Many people have asked why the CD-book is named Macedonia for the Macedonians. The answer to this question will be revealed when you read the CD-book.
The price of the CD-book is 16 Euro including shipping. For distributors, the price is 10 Euro per CD-book including shipping, when ordering 20 CD-books or more.
