Mysterious Explosion Damaged Iranian Nuclear Site
The explosion earlier this week that Iran said was at a uranium enrichment site actually damaged a nuclear plant and was far from accidental, The London Times reported Wednesday. The newspaper quoted Israeli intelligence officials as saying that satellite photos revealed extensive damage from the explosion at Isfahan, near Tehran. The Israeli sources, so far unconfirmed, added that smoke was seen pouring out from a conversion plant and that it was clear that the blast was not accidental.
Consider the prophetic implications of this next article:
Former Mossad Chief: Israeli Strike On Iran Will Lead To Regional War
Former Mossad chief Meir Dagan said in a television interview on Tuesday that if Israel attacks Iran, it will be dragged into a regional war. According to Dagan, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas will respond with massive rocket attacks on Israel. In that scenario, Syria may join in the fray, Dagan said on the television program “Uvda”.
4 Scenarios For Oil If Israel Attacks Iran
Fresh from PIMCO on Tuesday is a new report highlighting four oil price scenarios if Israel attacked Iran, from a spike of US$140 a barrel to a “Doomsday” situation where regional war causes prices to soar. The report, from PIMCO portfolio manager Greg Sharenow, comes as the media has increasingly speculated whether Israel might engage in a pre-emptive strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.
“Whenever the global economy is in a fragile state, as it is today, geopolitical concerns such as the possibility of a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities become much more exaggerated,” Mr. Sharenow said.
“Although we cannot (and will not) predict whether an attack is imminent, or even likely, our experience and research tells us that any major disruption in the supply of oil from Iran could have either subtle or profound global repercussions,” he said. “Especially as excess capacity is virtually exhausted and we doubt that other OPEC nations would be able to compensate for a reduction in Iranian oil production.”
Iranian Protesters Storm British Embassy: Video Update
William Hague Warns Iran It Faces 'Serious Consequences" For British Embassy Attack In Tehran
Following Iran's decision to downgrade diplomatic ties with the UK after the imposition of fresh sanctions, Iranian protesters broke into the grounds of the British Embassy in Tehran.
Protesters threw petrol bombs and climbed over the gates of the embassy to loot the building.
William Hague said Iran had "committed a grave breach" of the Vienna Convention, which demands protection of diplomats and diplomatic premises under all circumstances.
Mr Hague added: "We hold the Iranian government responsible for its failure to take adequate measures to protect our embassy as it is required to do.
"Clearly there will be other, further, and serious consequences. I will make a statement updating Parliament on this tomorrow," Mr Hague added.
New Tahrir Square Violence Mars Elections
Fresh violence at Cairo’s Tahrir Square wounded 88 people by early Wednesday during the second day of legislative elections.
More than two dozen people were hospitalized after clashes with anti-regime protesters, who have said that the election process cannot be trusted because it is being run by the same officials who brutally dispersed demonstrations last week.
Despite the protests, elections continued Tuesday as the Muslim Brotherhood, under the guise of the “Freedom and Justice” party, deployed activists who violated electoral regulations at polling stations to encourage voters to back their party, the most well-organized in the country.
Predictably (many prophecy watchers predicted this at the beginning of the Egyptian "overthrow") we see this:
Egypt's Brotherhood Leading In Vote Count
The Muslim Brotherhood's list leads in initial counting of results from the first round of Egypt's parliamentary election, with about 40% of party-list votes, a party source said on Wednesday.
It remains difficult to assess the precise impact of such a result on an election that will take six weeks for voting to be complete and uses an extremely complex system for allocating seats.
Eurozone Debt Crisis Worsens As Financial World Holds Breath Over Impending Financial Apocalypse
“The world is watching Europe, waiting upon a solution. It’s not just the euro that’s at stake. If the euro fails, so too does the 27-nation European Union. Bank lending would freeze, stock markets would likely crash, and Europe’s economies would follow. Nations in the euro-zone would see their economic output decline, though temporarily, by as much as 50%, according to UBS forecasters. That economic meltdown would then spread to the U.S. and Asia, who would find themselves caught up in the credit freeze while their exports to Europe would collapse.”
The High Price Of Abandoning The Euro
Which is one reason I don't see it happening...The antichrist needs to show up soon to fix this mess - or at least appear to fix it. Seriously.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski made a dramatic appeal to Germany on Monday to prevent a collapse of the currency union, saying: "We are standing on the edge of a precipice."
The economist Nouriel Roubini, known as "Dr. Doom" because he predicted the 2008 financial crisis, recently put the likelihood of the euro zone collapsing at 45 percent. But such expert forecasts sound abstract to most people.
That wouldn't be as easy as euroskeptics are arguing. The European treaties don't envisage nations leaving the euro zone -- a country can only quit the European Union as a whole. Such a departure would take a long time, and investors could use that time to withdraw their capital, warns economist Karsten Junius in a research note for DekaBank. So the country in question would suffer economic damage on its path back into a national currency.
It is also unclear what would happen to a country's sovereign debt if it left the euro zone. When the single currency was set up, national debt was converted into euros. In many cases, that conversion was enshrined in bond contracts as a one-way street, meaning that a return to national currencies wasn't provided for.
Senate Passes Bill Allowing Indefinite Detention Of Americans
Is this the bill that sets the stage for future persecution of Christians in America?
The Senate passed a bill today allowing indefinite detention of American citizens living within the U.S.
While some have claimed that this is incorrect, and that American citizens would be exempted from the indefinite detention within U.S. borders authorized by the Act, the Committee chairman who co-sponsored the bill – Carl Levin – stated today in Senate debate that it could apply to American citizens.
Levin cited the Supreme Court case of Hamdi which ruled that American citizens can be treated as enemy combatants:
“The Supreme Court has recently ruled there is no bar to the United States holding one of its own citizens as an enemy combatant,” said Levin. “This is the Supreme Court speaking.“
Under questioning from Rand Paul, co-sponsor John McCain said that Americans suspected of terrorism could be sent to Guantanamo.
You can hear the statements from Levin and McCain on today’s broadcast of KFPA’s Letters and Politics.
And this:
The provision would authorize the military to indefinitely detain individuals — including U.S. citizens — without charge or trial.
“If these provisions pass, we could see American citizens being sent to Guantanamo Bay,” Rand said in the video. “This should be alarming to everyone watching this proceeding today. Because it puts every single American citizen at risk.”
“There is one thing and one thing only protecting innocent Americans from being detained at will at the hands of a too-powerful state — our Constitution, and the checks we put on government power,” he continued. “Should we err today and remove some of the most important checks on state power in the name of fighting terrorism, well, then the terrorists have won.”
“Detaining citizens without a court trial is not American. In fact, this alarming arbitrary power is reminiscent of Egypt’s ‘permanent’ Emergency Law authorizing preventive indefinite detention, a law that provoked ordinary Egyptians to tear their country apart last spring and risk their lives to fight.”
Rand Paul: Americans Could Be Sent To Gitmo Under 'Indefinite Detention' Bill
Senator Rand Paul told Judge Andrew Napolitano last night that Americans could be stripped of their rights and sent to Guantanamo Bay under the terms of the ‘indefinite detention’ provision of the National Defense Authorization Act
Appearing on Napolitano’s Fox Business show, Paul said it perplexed him “how anyone could vote to send an American citizen who’s been accused of a crime to a detention center in a foreign land without due process”.
Paul has offered an amendment to the NDAA bill that would completely strip Section 1031 from the legislation, although it’s unlikely to pass following yesterday’s rejection of Senator Mark Udall’s weaker amendment that would have merely provided more oversight.
Secretive Air Force Space Plane Nears Orbital Record
The secretive X-37B robotic space plane is about to set its own space-endurance record on a hush-hush project operated by the U.S. Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office.
The craft, also known as the Orbital Test Vehicle-2, was boosted into Earth orbit atop an Atlas 5 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on March 5. Tomorrow (Nov. 30), the X-37B spacecraft will mark its 270th day of flight — a lifetime in space that was heralded in the past as the vehicle's upper limit for spaceflight by project officials.
"It's still up there," U.S. Air Force Maj. Tracy Bunko of the Air Force Press Desk at the Pentagon, told SPACE.com, noting that project officials planned for a 9- month-plus mission, "so we're close to that now."
The X-37B's staying power is made feasible by its deployable solar array power system, unfurled from the vehicle's cargo bay.
The X-37B resembles a miniature version of NASA's space shuttle. Two X-37Bs could fit inside the 60-foot (18-meter) cargo bay of a space shuttle.
Airport Body Scan Debate Heats Up After European Ban
The controversy over airport body scanners – and how safe they are – is taking on new urgency after European authorities this month banned the machines after studies linked them to a small number of cancer cases.
The same type of backscatter scanners, which emit low-level radiation, are used at dozens of U.S. airports, including Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood and Orlando international airports.
Steve Landes, director of the South Florida Airline Commuters Association, which has several hundred frequent flier members, said those who have to fly two to three times a week might want to avoid the scanner.
"Let's put it this way, I would have to be a fool to say I wouldn't have any concerns," said Landes, of Boynton Beach.
Helping to convince European authorities to impose the ban was a recent PBS Newshour/ProPublica report, which said: "Research suggests that anywhere from six to 100 U.S. airline passengers each year could get cancer from the machines." Scientific American also ran a story, detailing the results of the PBS/ProPublic investigation.
Scientists Create Lethal Human Strain Of Avian Flu In Test Tube - Now Seek To Publish Formula
The H5N1 flu- more frequently referred to as avian or bird flu- has long been identified as one of those great threats to public health throughout the world. Should the bug ever mutate into a form that passes as easily between humans as it does among birds and other animals, we would have a very serious problem on our hands.
Now, Scientist Magazine is reporting that medical researchers in the Netherlands have intentionally engineered a strain of the H5N1 virus that can pass as easily between people as any other flu virus. Clearly, if this one should ever get out of the laboratory, we are all in seriously big trouble.
Flu Shots May Build Fewer Antibodies In Kids
New research has found the flu vaccine may weaken some children’s immune systems to other influenza viruses.
Researchers from the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, collected blood samples from 27 healthy, unvaccinated children with an average age of 6 years old, and 14 children with cystic fibrosis who received an annual flu shot. Children with chronic illnesses like cystic fibrosis are required to get flu shots in the Netherlands.
Children who were not vaccinated built up more antibodies across a wider variety of influenza strains than kids who were vaccinated, the small study found.
Massive Sinkhole Appears Overnight
Is it just me, or does there appear to be similar sinkholes occurring all around the world these days? What's going on?
Residents in Beckham County near Sayre say a massive sinkhole suddenly appeared overnight. They say it's so big a small house can fit inside it. Jack Damron cares for the property and says the hole formed just two days after Oklahoma's last earthquake about two weeks ago.
...the hole is still growing day by day.
"Kind of spooky. You don't want to mess with it today," Damron said.
Because whatever lies beneath the flat Oklahoma soil, isn't quite finished.
"We've got to let it finish settling, because we don't know how deep it's going to get. It's still growing," he said "When it first formed you could actually sit here for 30 minutes and see stuff just move."
6.0 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Off Coast Of Philippines
A 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of the Philippines this morning, roughly 142 miles (230km) west-northwest of the capital Manila, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported.
The earthquake, which struck at a depth of 9.1 miles (14.6km), occurred shortly before 8.30am local time in the West Philippine Sea.
28 comments:
There are alot of natural caverns in the south and it might explain the sinkhole. If we ever experience a big earthquake near the New Madrid fault line, there will be many more sinkholes. : /
Good morning everyone!
Thought I would share what God has been showing me over the last three weeks. As most of you know I started a new job 6 weeks ago. The process has been humbling to say the least. As I started this job I reconciled my faith as I normally do every day but with a commitment to fast once a week from now until we are caught up. This new job involves selling a product which comes with a well established stigma of people being pressured and lied to in order to make them buy. While that may be the stigma it’s not the reality anymore. It’s so regulated now through state law and a very active board of directors within the field that any improper action results in a very heavy fine. The reason the stigma exists is because people back in the day would start a project without all the financing in place. They would then sell a part of the project to raise money and so on. The result was that a lot of people in the business lied and manipulated people in to deals that had no legal recourse in holding the business to the agreement. They cycle just repeated itself over and over until regulation was introduced.
Continued...
The following is what has happened over the last 4 weeks since I came out of training. Out of the 30 meetings I’ve had 80% have not been this business/product I sell. They have been about God and the subject matter in God has touched on the loss of a child, the loss of parents, depression, hope in Christ, prophecy obviously, Heaven, our reconciled bodies, etc.. all of the things that I’ve been through directly or indirectly. I have literally had people breaking down in tears talking about what they’ve been through and with God directing me to help them remember the hope we have in Christ. A couple of weeks ago, I had a couple from Ohio at my desk and we were talking about God and this 74 year old lady revealed to me that she sometimes get’s visions or words are revealed to her to help others. After about an hour on the table she grabs my arm very gently and says “ I feel that God wants me to tell you a few things”. She goes on to say that God has revealed to her that He wants me to know that He knows my heart. She also said that God wanted me to know that He was going to give me a big blessing soon but until that arrived He wanted me to focus on the word Obedience. I believe we all can relate to not being obedient but for me, in my relationship with Christ, in my disobedience that has always been the one thing that has pierced my heart more than anything. For this lady, who didn’t know me at all to say this to me was profound to say the least. From that conversation, I have tried every single day to focus on that word and let God convict my heart and really mold me in to being very aware of the decisions I make.
So while all this has been going on, the work environment I have been surrounded in, is terrible on some levels. Talk about the days of Noah! It’s a very high level sales force that thrives on earning money. With that kind of focus, where human nature is involved, everyone’s priorities are focused away from God. The sales staff has a high divorce rate, a lot of improper behavior going on including adultery all the while they earn more and more money. A lot of back stabbing and manipulation which runs up the chain to the management team. Not all managers subscribe to this but a few do.
It has been a great, frustrating, overwhelming experience here just putting it mildly. I came here to take care of my family but have not sold much. Everyone around me is selling but me. The devil plays with my mind and tries to manipulate me in to stressing out over the decision to come here. I think about my obligations and my sinful nature begins to worry and I choose to take my focus off of God. It’s hard for me here.
Continued...
So I’ve chosen to stay and let this play out for God. I will be obedient and if every meeting I conduct is about God then that’s what God wants. It’s hard to understand God’s way but submitting to Him is really the only way to handle it. A couple of coworkers have confided to me they are having problems as well so on I go waiting for the next person God brings in to my life.
Like I said before, I have been fasting every week. With each fast comes a deeper sense of clarity on how sad life is without God. Through God’s eyes I see myself and people around me in a much different light. On the day I fast I see, hear and feel everything on such a deeper level.
With all this said, I am always open to all of you here. Any insight or just plain words of wisdom God may want to direct through you to me are very welcome.
Hi Dear Brother James, :)
Hold on Brother, God is with you. :) Know this, that even when we make a mistake, or even think we made a mistake, He will turn it around! He is our Loving Father, and when we come to the end of ourselves, He ALWAYS steps in :) He causes ALL things to work together for the good! So remove any doubts that might creep in, rebuke them in the name of Jesus!
Sales is tough! And Ive been in your situation before, many years ago. As encouragement to you Brother, I will try to share my experience with you :) I was wooed into a job for Sales once, by the owner of a British International Courier Company. I was alone raising my daughter, and he made it very financially appealing. I made it very clear that I was a Christian, and would not compromise to make a “Sale” as is so often done in that line of work. I was provided a good salary, plus nice commissions and other benefits. :) The primary clientele was the film industry, lots and lots of money involved, and with my experience at the time in the Airline industry, he wanted me to also establish the means by which the Company could bid on movie productions filmed domestically and internationally .Yike, to say I was a workaholic is an understatement :) I was never comfortable with the Sales position, but I did well, not great but well. The territory I had, was a distance away, and all the driving, being so far away from my daughter, was not easy.
When in the office, I would eat lunch at my desk, and read my Bible. In the office I worked with a lot of different folks, mainly Brits (pretty cheeky ones) and Aussi’s, South Africans, Scotts, Sri Lankan’s etc. It was like being in the middle of Sodom and Gomorra! The Lords name was constantly used as a curse word, drinking at the stoke of 5:00pm, and a gay gentleman that continuously talked about his conquests, and made a cross sign at me every time he walked by my desk and quietly mumbled “no Christians”.
Oh boy did I Pray! The Sales position started to really take its toll, but I just kept plugging along. Then one day, they called all the Sales Reps into the office for an “emergency”. Apparently, they had a crisis with the Accounting Department, as this key person walked out at a critical time. We were asked to help with the Accounting as best as we could. For me, and I say this very humbly, it was easy, and I kept just whipping through all that had to be done :) The owner noticed and called me into his office, and asked me how I could accomplish so much in helping the Accounting department. He had hired me without even asking for a Resume, and he didn’t know that I had at that time, 10 years of Accounting experience. :) I shared with him my Accounting experience, and he offered me a wonderful salary raise, and asked that I please take over in Accounting, and also continue with the movie production aspect. Talk about a gift from God! God is so good! God can change things on a dime!
(cont)
The ownership of the company changed after years, and it then became Aussi owned :) Whew, again, pretty sinful environment to work in. It was tough, but I had my sweet baby girl to take care of by myself, as her dad had died.
Through all that grueling work, 15-16 hour days, the Lord was so good and True! After many years, I suddenly and very unexpectedly, found that some of the lost folks I worked with, were coming to me in private almost like a some kind of confessional! It was unbelievable to me, some of the things folks were sharing with me! And I had the great privilege of sharing Jesus with them! Oh boy, did I ever have to seek the Lord on what to say to them as a Witness for Him! I share all of this with you, because as the elderly woman said to you, obedience is the key! Through it all, the Holy Spirit impressed on me to just continue to be a Witness to others, to be obedient to Him, and He would handle it all! The Holy Spirit kept bringing to my mind Joseph, and all that he went through. In his work, Joseph always did the best he could, was honest, and continued to Honor the Lord. This was Josephs great Witness for the Lord, to all those around him, even surrounded by awful folks and no matter what they did to him. As Charles Stanly says Brother James, “be obedient and leave all the consequences to Him”. Know this Brother James, that our Loving Father is with you, our Loving Savior Jesus is with you, and His Holy Spirit will help you! For me personally, I welcome them all into every second of my life! Forgive me that this is so long, but I hope this helps a wee bit anyway :)
God Bless You Dear Brother James!
Oh, Mrs C, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful testimony!
It is the best of your writings on this blog, so far, IMO.
How often someone is watching us, noticing how we react, and we are not even aware.
I, too, look back on so many times in my life, when I thought perhaps God had forsaken me, but now I see how He was working "behind the scenes". Many times, He did far more than I would have asked or thought.
It is similar to a parade (of life) and we are marching thru the parade at a certain pace, and that is all we can see. The Lord is like the Pilot in the helcopter , flying back and forth , and He can see the whole parade, all the parts, from the beginning to the end.
"Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure'" (Isaiah 46 :10)
God bless you both, James and Mrs C , Diane
Thank you Mrs C! Today has been an "interesting" day for me, to say the least. Your testimony encouraged me to stay the course. This is getting to be a very hard world to live in, but there definitely are no surprises.
James, hang in there! Who knows but you may have been placed where you are "for such a time as this."
Brother James~
It sounds like you are sitting in a very scary, yet exciting opportunity in your life right now. How amazing of an opportunity you get right now to be around co-workers and in meetings where others are thirsty to talk about God. Maybe God has you there for a season to fine tune them to make sure they understand Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior instead of any God that they may only know of. Could that be possible?
The wonderful thing about having the HS as our guide is he will let us know if it's not right. If you do not have peace about something, don't do it. Right now jobs are so scarce so I can't imagine God just wants you to use your head instead of him, which sounds like your thinking on this too. You are helping your family which are all in Christ.
I love the part of the older woman reaffirming your beliefs. :) That is great. I wish I had more to offer but I don't want to hinder what God may be doing in your life. You may be in the trenches and given the opportunity to witness down to the last hour. How exciting!
This fasting option that you recently offered to us is something I can't thank you enough for. I had such a wonderful 24-hours with the Lord on this. I have some things to share in a day or so. He revealed so much and I am trying to not overwhelm anyone while delivering his message. Maybe there is something in there that will help you :) I have to say, I didn't think I would get much out of it but I did as you suggested and within one hour things were flowing. I can't even tell you where my family was these past couple of days [JK] They were very supportive and let me be alone to learn and hear.
Keep doing what you believe is the right thing Brother and I am sure God will show you the way through all this. Mrs. C has some very valid points that reaffirm to me that God just wants to see if we are willing to step out and do his will. You sir, have shown up for that assignment. In the meantime, I will try to get my fasting experience posted for you and the others. I pray that it is received in a loving manner on this blog. I am not a teacher, but the way God revealed it, I believe he did bring things full circle for the purpose of the messages to be delivered.
Thanks again Brother James for the idea. I pray everyone else has some wonderful revelations to share as well.
God Bless!!

1Thess5:18 In EVERY THING give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1John3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Vs2.Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Vs.3. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
James, Mrs C, Tasarwen, GC: I,ve had similar experiences, although I was never in sales. Likewise the environment was not very pleasant. So I just decided to be myself no matter what was going on around me. One day one of my superiors asked if we could talk. She asked me if I was happy there. I said no happier than anybody else. Why do you ask? She responded: I've been watching you. You're so different from everybody else here. You're so much more positive, cheerful and upbeat/ Why is that? So I shared my faith with her, not to try to bombard her with it or shove it down her throat; but if you want ot know why I am this way, it plays a major part. So James, I would encourage you to keep serving the Lord; and let him take care of the results. I,m a big fan of Bluegrass music; and I heard a song once that's very appropriate: " The best sermon you can give is to show them how you live." Dutch

Hi Mrs. C~
My apologies, I didn't mean to gloss over your beautiful testimony to Brother James above. Yesterday, I simply ran out of steam and this morning the Lord has me up being prompted to take care of unfinished business :) He loves the 3:00 hour, so I am all his.
Thank you for sharing that special and painful part of your past. I can't even imagine through all your losses at the time finding the courage to stay the course. My spirit would be at a low and yours was determined to continue to do the will of your Heavenly Father. You sacrificed, you persevered and did not compromise your Godly values. This speaks volumes of who you are today. These temptations that are out in the workplace are the one of the hardest battlefields one can know.
This story truly shows that obedience pays. Thanks for reminding me of that.
God Bless!!

Good Morning All~
Today I wanted to lovingly share what fruit I was given as I took advantage of the recent fast that James suggested earlier this week.
I was not sure where to post this so I thought here might be a good spot since it is already mentioned above. I will try to break this down in individual post so I don't lose the full message given. If it's too much or controversial, my apologies, that is not my intent. Scott, please feel free to alter if needed. I will understand. I just wanted to do his will as he has prompted.
The first part of my journey started with this scripture running through my head:
Philippians 4:19
19 And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
The Lord spoke to me in this order:
-The True Vine [John 15: 1-17]
[Emphasis on 15:1,5,8]
- Works & Salvation in relation to the True Vine
-He strongly pointed me to Psalm 80
[Emphasis on 80: 8-19]
-Corrections from the Lord
[Emphasis on Hebrews 12:11]
-Lamentations [Weeping Past, Present, Future]
-Added warnings to Joel's Army and Prosperity Teachings
May this serve you well. I hope and pray for such revelations during your fasts.
God Bless!!

The True Vine....
John 15:1-17
1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away;[a] and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will[b] ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
[Emphasis on John 15:1, 5, and 8]
Love and Joy Perfected
9 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. 12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
John 15:18-23
The World’s Hatred
18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates Me hates My Father also.
[Emphasis on John 15: 18-23]
Through the grapevine we go through the sifting, sorting and separating processes to live in Abundance and in fullness, supernatural in nature, but not to be confused with today's prosperity teachings. [See Final Message Below]
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness [Rebuking]
Hebrews 12:11
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. [Chastening]
Isaiah 53:5
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed [Scourging]
-The vine is Jesus-
-The branches are his followers-
- The vineyard keeper is God the Father -
- The fruit is the good works of Jesus' disciples -
This is all for his glory. Not to confuse good works for earning salvation as they are two separate topics.

Confessing Your Sins-
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

Psalm 80
To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.”[a] A Testimony[b] of Asaph. A Psalm.
1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
You who lead Joseph like a flock;
You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth!
2 Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,
Stir up Your strength,
And come and save us!
3 Restore us, O God;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!
4 O LORD God of hosts,
How long will You be angry
Against the prayer of Your people?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears,
And given them tears to drink in great measure.
6 You have made us a strife to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Restore us, O God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!
8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt;
You have cast out the nations, and planted it.
9 You prepared room for it,
And caused it to take deep root,
And it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with its shadow,
And the mighty cedars with its boughs.
11 She sent out her boughs to the Sea,[c]
And her branches to the River.[d]
12 Why have You broken down her hedges,
So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit?
13 The boar out of the woods uproots it,
And the wild beast of the field devours it.
14 Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts;
Look down from heaven and see,
And visit this vine
15 And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted,
And the branch that You made strong for Yourself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
17 Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.
18 Then we will not turn back from You;
Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
19 Restore us, O LORD God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!

Corrections from the Lord
Hebrews12 >>
________________________________________
God Disciplines His Sons
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
4In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
6because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.”a
7Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? 8If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. 9Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! 10Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. 11No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
12Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13“Make level paths for your feet,”b so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
[Emphasis on Hebrews 12:11]
________________________________________
Warning Against Refusing God
14Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. 15See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. 16See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. 17Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. He could bring about no change of mind, though he sought the blessing with tears.
18You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; 19to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, 20because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”c 21The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”d
22But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, 24to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
25See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? 26At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”e 27The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
28Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29for our “God is a consuming fire
Proverbs 10:17
He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.

He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.

________________________________________
1aHow deserted lies the city,
once so full of people!
How like a widow is she,
who once was great among the nations!
She who was queen among the provinces
has now become a slave.
2Bitterly she weeps at night,
tears are upon her cheeks.
Among all her lovers
there is none to comfort her.
All her friends have betrayed her;
they have become her enemies.
3After affliction and harsh labor,
Judah has gone into exile.
She dwells among the nations;
she finds no resting place.
All who pursue her have overtaken her
in the midst of her distress.
4The roads to Zion mourn,
for no one comes to her appointed feasts.
All her gateways are desolate,
her priests groan,
her maidens grieve,
and she is in bitter anguish.
5Her foes have become her masters;
her enemies are at ease.
The LORD has brought her grief
because of her many sins.
Her children have gone into exile,
captive before the foe.
6All the splendor has departed
from the Daughter of Zion.
Her princes are like deer
that find no pasture;
in weakness they have fled
before the pursuer.
7In the days of her affliction and wandering
Jerusalem remembers all the treasures
that were hers in days of old.
When her people fell into enemy hands,
there was no one to help her.
Her enemies looked at her
and laughed at her destruction.
8Jerusalem has sinned greatly
and so has become unclean.
All who honored her despise her,
for they have seen her nakedness;
she herself groans
and turns away.
9Her filthiness clung to her skirts;
she did not consider her future.
Her fall was astounding;
there was none to comfort her.
“Look, O LORD, on my affliction,
for the enemy has triumphed.”
10The enemy laid hands
on all her treasures;
she saw pagan nations
enter her sanctuary—
those you had forbidden
to enter your assembly.
11All her people groan
as they search for bread;
they barter their treasures for food
to keep themselves alive.
“Look, O LORD, and consider,
for I am despised.”
12“Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?
Look around and see.
Is any suffering like my suffering
that was inflicted on me,
that the LORD brought on me
in the day of his fierce anger?
13“From on high he sent fire,
sent it down into my bones.
He spread a net for my feet
and turned me back.
He made me desolate,
faint all the day long.
14“My sins have been bound into a yokeb;
by his hands they were woven together.
They have come upon my neck
and the Lord has sapped my strength.
He has handed me over
to those I cannot withstand.
15“The Lord has rejected
all the warriors in my midst;
he has summoned an army against me
toc crush my young men.
In his winepress the Lord has trampled
the Virgin Daughter of Judah.
16“This is why I weep
and my eyes overflow with tears.
No one is near to comfort me,
no one to restore my spirit.
My children are destitute
because the enemy has prevailed.”
17Zion stretches out her hands,
but there is no one to comfort her.
The LORD has decreed for Jacob
that his neighbors become his foes;
Jerusalem has become
an unclean thing among them.
18“The LORD is righteous,
yet I rebelled against his command.
Listen, all you peoples;
look upon my suffering.
My young men and maidens
have gone into exile.
19“I called to my allies
but they betrayed me.
My priests and my elders
perished in the city
while they searched for food
to keep themselves alive.
20“See, O LORD, how distressed I am!
I am in torment within,
and in my heart I am disturbed,
for I have been most rebellious.
Outside, the sword bereaves;
inside, there is only death.
21“People have heard my groaning,
but there is no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my distress;
they rejoice at what you have done.
May you bring the day you have announced
so they may become like me.
22“Let all their wickedness come before you;
deal with them
as you have dealt with me
because of all my sins.
My groans are many
and my heart is faint.”
"Through the grapevine we go through the sifting, sorting and separating processes to live in Abundance and in fullness, supernatural in nature, but not to be confused with today's prosperity teachings." [See Last Message Below]
On top of all of this, there was one other area in regard to prosperity teaching that he wants me to share. This is a vague area right now for me, but it goes back to a post that someone had posted here recently on Joel's army. He wants others to know that we need to check the extensions of these prosperity teachers and preachers. In that video there was reference to Benny Hinn. These extensions go deeper than that and some of those commonly connected to Benny Hinn though not directly in the same circles. Without name dropping on all but to note that the danger; is all these roads from the RCC, Gnostic, Prosperity Teaching and many others that are ultimately going to come under the one church as we know has been mentioned.
The things revealed behind this had reference to black Muslim Brotherhood and black Hebrew Israelites? These things I know nothing of and will continue to research. This was hard to post and I do so not to offend but to deliver what was revealed to me. I don't want this to be seen as a racist attack, far from it. I have no need for prejudice, as I am not. God loves all his children, it's in the heart of his children. I have never heard of these two groups as I post this. The reference of black could be due to evil, I honestly am learning at this point but was prompted to share this.
I am not too sure and I am sorry I can't be more specific. I can see the visual. It's like all these entities think they are independent when in actuality they all are serving the same evil force by their own creation. The prosperity teachers actually are so focused on getting the people in the door but behind the scenes have the same level of hate and disregard as Hitler did.
So what was revealed is the internal destruction that all these groups are going to fight each other and chip away at what they promote is God's way when it is not God, once they all merge. The prosperity teachers think they are secure when in essence they are no different than the others. They are going out and promoting scripture for Abundance and Fullness and Supernatural healings and events but they are not the same purpose God has for his Supernatural Abundance and Fullness with regard to the teachings of the True Vine. They have the facade and are even saved but are motivated by hate and greed. It's disgusting. I knew of each of these entities in some parts but not to this degree and to see them with the hearts shown that I am seeing.
This whole experience was great. This showed me how we are being sorted, sifted and separated. It also showed me how intermingle these so called 'Christian' worlds are being promoted. It's about what their mansions are going to look like in heaven but to the point of calling it forward like a sense of entitlement instead of a wonderful gift from the Lord.
God Bless!!

GG:
Your fasting has delivered such a powerful witness. Got your email and I'm in the middle of my reply. Saved it to my drafts and will finish it up tonight.
I hope you know how much you mean to everyone here. When you don't post we are less than all we can be here. This truly is a family for Christ and each of us are important to God in this wonderful endeavor taken on by our wonderful brother Scott.
In your post where you were worried about saying " black Muslim Brotherhood and black Hebrew Israelites" we know you are referring to evil not a race so please ease your mind there. Anyone that takes that out of the context with which its spoken is out of line. So again don't worry about that.
Everything you've said here in the post is awesome and redirects my thoughts into His presence and how I am to apply that in my broken life. Thank you for that.
With all the love this Tennessee heart can muster your brother in Christ!
James
Mrs.C:
My dear dear sister. With each post you speak more and more to me in a way that comforts me but keeps focused on who we are in Christ. You along with Mr. C,GG Scott and everyone else bless me here daily.
Hi Brother James-
Thank you for getting back to me. I am so grateful for this experience but the last of the revelation rocked me to the core of my being. I didn't want to ruin your good intentions on us all working together and wasn't sure what is true and acceptable to post, especially on a topic like that. I never had such back to back flowing coming at me like that.
This morning I was prompted up early to post. Just post it as I gave it the HS spoke. He told me to rely on him...So the rest is history. I will rest a few days and research on this end.
Thanks again for bringing us all together for a wonderful opportunity to witness and thank you Scott for your heart and platform to see it through.
God Bless!!
GG
