The Missing Piece

Have you ever worked on a puzzle only to realize there were some pieces missing to complete your project?  Having been paying close attention to the news for the past several weeks, it occurred to me that there were a couple pieces to the puzzle missing.  Now all the pieces are starting to fall into place.  It's only a matter of putting them in their right locations.

Our nation has been enduring a lot over the last couple of months.  The continuing saga over the IRS scandal, Benghazi, Fast & Furious and recently the release of Bergdahl for terrorists.  And that is only the tip of the iceberg.  Now Iraq is burning down to the ground, tens of thousands of illegals are opening crossing the borders of The United States and it would appear that we are so close to entering World War III that is raises the hair on the back of my neck.

 Why is it that the American government seems to be involved in such a big push to drive us to World War III?  Is it because they know that America has always prospered during war time?  No!

It is because of something way bigger!  Our current administration is in a rush to line us up with becoming part of the New World Order.  I have been writing about this for several years now.  Many people see it as being irrelevant and not true.  However, let's stop and take a look at the bigger picture.  First, we tried to make North Korea jump, which proved unsuccessful.  Then we tried getting Putin to scramble when we threatened actions in Syria.  Later comes the falling of Ukraine and Obama and Putin going at it (by the way should I add that Putin made Obama look like a fool).  Now Iraq is falling apart at the hands of ISIS.

Wait, there's the missing puzzle piece I have been looking for.  ISIS !  This is the group that the Obama administration funded in Syria hoping that it would take down the Asad regime in Syria.  Bad news, it didn't work.  Oh, and let me add to that we as a country funded ISIS and provided them with the weaponry they are now using in their push through Iraq.  For those who may not be aware, we also funded Al Qaeda during Afghanistan's war with Russia.  Do you see how this is unfolding?  We in fact have provided all the necessary tooling of those America claims to be their enemies.  

But wait, it's getting better!  Both Republicans and Democrats are secretly meeting and indicating that they support putting boots back on the ground in Iraq.  Even though Obama has said otherwise.  Why?  Because it will create a diversionary tactic to keep Americans eyes off of the fact that Obama is imploding our country with thousands of illegal aliens. 

So everyone asks, "why is he doing this?"  Because he wants to turn America into a third world country and to make us reliant on the all knowing and self serving government that they are busy creating with the passing of each and every day.

The one major problem that exists is the mere fact that we can't take on the burden of those crossing into our country illegally.  You have news agencies going absolutely crazy with trying to keep up with the news and report it in a fair and balanced perspective.  You are even now seeing once die hard liberals like Chris Matthews from MSNBC starting to realize that America is being thrown under the bus.  When you start to see predominantly liberal media outlets starting to question the current administration, you can be assured that it is bad. 

Now they are worried about that ISIS may use some of the sophisticated weaponry that we equipped them with (hellfire stinger missile systems, a very accurate and deadly anti-aircraft system)  starting to shoot down planes in that region as well as the Middle East.  The leader of ISIS when he was originally captured told his American counterpart that he would see him in New York. 

You can expect another event of even greater proportion of 911 to happen in America in the very near future and then all Hell will break loose and provide Obama with all the tools he needs to forever change the direction and face of America.  We are living in serious times and ones that bear keeping up with.  I know there is so much news, that at times it can be more than overwhelming to keep up with, but we most keep a close eye on changing events.

Your life and that of your family certainly are depending upon it!

Prepare To Embrace Them

There is not a day or night that goes by that I do not focus on my children and knowing that very soon I am going to have to present news to them that I prayed I would never have to unfold to them at such a young and tender age.

While some of you may be wondering exactly what it is that I am referring to, it would be the imminent dangers of America entering into another World War.  While this has been on the horizon for some time, I certainly was hoping that it was not going to come into fruition as soon as it has.  Of lately, I have been having visions of what this is going to look like and actually able to hear the voices of the soldiers.  I have even been able to see myself engaged in this battle and being able to see various outcomes.  I am going to tell you now that it is not very pretty.

 Is this the best future that we can hope to offer to our children?  While some would merely suggest that we just sit back and pray that this dreadful day never comes is a bit of a dream. 

We have been teetering on this brink of global destruction for a short time it is more evident now that we are closer to the edge than any media outlet is going to extend to you.

Why must we embrace this.  Let me provide some clear evidence that we are on the brink of disaster.  If you will remember, during the first term of President Obama, he firmly stood against Israel and any move they would decide to make in regards to Iran's quest for nuclear development.  However, now he is almost going out of his way to embrace the leader of Israel with a firm stand in support of a surgical strike to stop this process.  While I certainly back Israel to halt this, what is disturbing is the fact that this will develop into a global front.

The DRPK or North Korea is continuing their rhetoric about delivering a nuclear strike to America and has torn the armistice agreement papers up that put a cease fire in place for the Korean war.  If Israel makes a move on Iran this will open the doors for N. Korea to engage and we will then find ourselves smack in the middle of a global front.  While there are naysayers who would have you believe that nothing is going to come of this, I am here to tell you that you are living a dangerous life if you believe that we are not on the edge of some extremely troubling times.

While the evangelicals are triumphing thinking that this could very well trigger the rapture and they will be saved from this upcoming events filled with horrors that there are not enough words to describe, I am going to tell you that they may very well be in for a surprise.

I am going to encourage all of my dear friends to read from the Book of Mark in the Bible.  If you pay extreme close attention to the words and how it is written especially the end of it, you will notice that it is strongly indicated that even Christians well have to ensure the end times before being able to see the rapture take place.  Of course this takes on an age old argument that has been going on for nearly as long as the Bible itself has been in existence.  That is the issue or pre-tribulation or post-tribulation.  Either way you want to look at it, the end results of what we are preparing to enter are not very encouraging.  While lately a great deal of attention has been on who was going to be the next Pope, as the smoke clears and we resume our lifestyles the clearing is pointing to a new world of which there is a great deal of danger and nasty things lurking around the corner.

Look I am a Christian myself and have a strong belief in Jesus and the Bible, however, the upcoming times is going to be harsh and it is the reality of it and how I must be able to present this to my children and to my family that truly brings a great deal of grief to my heart and soul!  I pray day and night about this, however, when you have been chosen to be a messenger and provided the ability to have the visions to warn people it can be a large load to carry.  Am I suggesting that I am a prophet or something like that.  No way!  However, God does use people and allows certain people to have the ability to have these visions and dreams to be able to warn people of what is coming in the very near future.

How ready are you?  Take the time to examine where your life is and keep a close eye on the Eastern sky as days are growing shorter and shorter to us being in the end of time.

US to deploy more ground based missile interceptors as N. Korea ramps up threat levels

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel will announce to the American people Friday that the U.S. is deploying 14 new ground-based missile interceptors, probably located in Alaska, defense officials made aware to both Fox News as well as NBC News.

The officials did not make mention of exactly why the missile interceptors were being deployed, however the announcement comes as N. Korea has been making relentless threats to both S. Korea as well as the United States.  N. Korea has torn up the armistice agreement and vowed to reign down a wall of fire on the United States and its allies.

Despite threat being issued from N. Korea the United States has begun their military drills with S. Korea this week despite the continued threats from the DRPK.

One thing is for sure, between the continued rhetoric coming from the DRPK and Obama deciding to take a stand with Israel against Iran in its pursuit of nuclear arms, you can be assured that within the next several weeks to months our government is going to be ramping up our military in several locations.  Question is....

Who is going to be the first to fire!

Tell us what you think on this continuing developing story.

Global Alert....W A R N I N G!!!!!!

Russia is on the move!  Closer than ever before, Russia is in the process of moving several nuclear weapons and their firing platforms into Cuba!

According to a national leading report this is supposedly in response to us placing several missiles defense systems throughout Eastern Europe.

Look, with tension growing by the second in Syria, Egypt, Iran and we will certainly not leave Israel out of this equation either.  We are closer to the threshold of entering a Global Thermonuclear was than at any other point in time since Kennedy's Presidency.

It has been quite some time since any of use have seen any great levels of activity coming from the Russian Bear, however, someone has awaken the sleeping giant.  For those who thought that Russia was extinct and not a world player in the regards of military might.....think again!

Heavy aircraft-carrying missile cruiser Admiral Kuznetsov (image from http://pilot.strizhi.info)

Moscow is deploying warships at its base in the Syrian port of Tartus. The long-planned mission comes, providentially, at the very moment when it could help prevent a potential conflict in the strategically important Middle Eastern country.

The Russian battle group will consist of three vessels led by the heavy aircraft-carrying missile cruiser, Admiral Kuznetsov.

Russian military officials insist that the move has no connection with the ongoing crisis in the region and was planned a year ago, the Izvestia newspaper reports. Apart from Syria, the aircraft carrier and its escort ships are set to visit the Lebanese capital, Beirut, Genoa in Italy and Cyprus, says the former Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Viktor Kravchenko.

Nevertheless, he added that the presence of a military force other than NATO’s is very useful for this region, because “it will prevent the outbreak of an armed conflict,” Izvestia quoted Kravchenko as saying.

The Soviet Union, the Admiral recalled, created a special naval squadron to deter Western military forces in the Mediterranean Sea. To repair and supply its ships, Moscow needed its own maintenance base in the region, and that was how the base in Tartus came into being.

Now....If you believe this....I have ocean front property available for sale right here in Arkansas.  

This is a well planned and executed move on the part of Russia.  Vladimir Putin is truly starting to flex his muscles and with everything falling to pieces in the Middle East it is only going to continue to get worse wit the passing of each and every day.

Get ready cause the bombs are ready to fly!  Who will be first?

Preach To Win Souls...Not Fill Your Pockets

Stop With The Play On Emotions.....

I have to admin that I am beyond a little upset this evening.  While attending our Wednesday evening service I was more than taken back by what my ears had heard.  

Let me begin be describing the chain of events that lead me to be more than a smoking gun.  After opening prayer the Pastor of the church that we attend began by opening the service by collecting their offerings.  After an explanation of how they had collected more money from the smaller crowd this past Sunday than from when they have larger crowds.  Let me say that I above all people realize that churches have bills to pay just like everyday folks like you and me and they do so by the money that they collect from the people who attend there.  So, you are asking what has me so aggravated?  Simple...

While myself and my fiance have been in the midst of a huge home renovation for nearly the past year we have not been able to attend services due to both of us having to work a full-time job and still keep a schedule with this project to be completed prior to our wedding date.  Tonight, the Pastor's wife actually had the audacity to tell us "don't be such a stranger".  Why does this aggravate me so?  Due to the fact that NOT ONCE  did anyone bother to call and see if we were alive, if something may have been wrong with either one of our health or if something was wrong within our family unit (which it was).

Mine Isn't Good Enough

I suppose if I had an abundance of money that I would have had various member's as well as the pastor himself beating down my door wanting to know about where I had been.  However, since I am a working stiff just like many others I am not as important that the others.  That is the source of my anger.  How many times I listen to ministers around the country preach about how God wants us to prosper, how if we tithe that God will put it back in our pockets and on and on and on.  Look, I realize and know exactly what the Bible says about tithing.  What irritates me to no end is the mere fact that without money, I seem to hold no importance in my church's eyes.

How Do You Know

How do you know exactly what I have to offer and what I don't.  I can tell you this, though, I only give my money to ministries that put their works back into their own people and truly demonstrate a yearning and desire to take care of their own and their community.  Don't judge me based on what you think I may or may not have.  It may very well be you that is missing the blessings.

Do You Even Know...

I am almost certain that many pastor's do not even know the names of many of the people who sit in their churches.  Look, while I am more forgiving of this for those who say pastor a church that has let's say more than 500 people.  However, for those that are smaller I certainly can't find any excuse other than pure laziness on the part of the ministry and any of their staff as to why they don't.

If you truly want me to get involved and especially financially you better get to know me and my family and make us feel a part of something.  I have certainly embarrassed larger ministry's and while this is not my goal I am not beyond this.  I am a name, I am a person and most importantly is that I have feelings.  Start noticing all of them or stay out of my emotions and quit trying to pick my pockets with your sob stories.  After all, everyone is paying attention to your lifestyle and the fact that you are not lacking.  Don't make those of us who are struggling financially feel like a heel just because we are not pouring money into your pockets.

Missing A Ministry

Certainly I would like to think that many ministries around the Unites States as well and globally have given serious thought to a vast community of believers that still to this day are overlooked.  With the rise of the Internet and all the electronic devices available to access it in various shapes and sizes, this is one area that a vast majority of ministries are missing out on.

Have seen more than a 500% in the amount of people who access the Internet and those who turn to it more and more for information and articles you would think that ministries that are on the rise would certainly tap into this market to reach more people.  Stop and think about all the things that you search for on the Internet and how much each of our lives and become almost dependent upon its very existence for our daily lives.  Everything from organizational tools, communications and keeping in contact with friends and family regardless of the distance that separates them.

While many churches are always excited about seeing new faces attend their meetings I would like to think that the actual new front door to churches is actually now upon the Internet.  Part of this is achieved in the websites that are maintained by churches.  If you see one that is loaded with useful content and catches your eye, chances are if you are close enough to attend you probably will.  However, the same can be true in direct opposite of this as well.  If you maintain or have a church site that is never updated or out of date in its proprietary technology then chances are people will not visit it nor attend your church as they already see it as being dead and behind the times.

While there may be many out there who say we don't want a church as big as let's say World Harvest Church in Columbus Ohio I can only ask you "why not"?  The larger the body of believers you have in your congregation certainly provides you with an abundance of resources to expand your ministry into a well cultured and diverse ministry to be able to meet the needs of several.

You may be asking yourself how does this apply to our church?  Simple, a church without growth is eventually going to be a dead church.  Plain and simple.  Now to really spark a lot of controversy!  Let's talk about music and praise and worship.  While I realize that a lot of people are stuck on traditional music, let me also bring to your attention the obvious fact that we are missing out on being able to capture the attention of our youth.  Ask yourself, after a lot of your older congregation has passed exactly who is it that you are going to have to build your church and keep it strong and growing?  Exactly....the youth.

A church that is not on the move is most certainly apt to become a dead church where this is no growth and a lack of any motivation to attract any new visitors and potential members.

I often compare church to a good sales person at times.  Seriously, take time to think about this for just a moment.  If someone comes into your church as a new visitor and maybe they have a talent or the ability to be a financial blessing to you expanding your ministry or just being able to maintain the one your currently have and you have never taken the time to learn more about that person or take any serious interest in them you may very well have lost what could have been a true blessing.  Then after that what will you have gained?  Nothing!  Then you will be in the same position that you have been in for years and wondering how you will bring your ministry out of this scenario.

Just a useful thought of information to my many wonderful friends who are in the ministry fields.  Take the time to think this over and see for yourself how God is looking to truly unlock your ministry to its fullest potential and it's all within the reach of your fingertips.
