Greetings in Jesus!

Let me first start out by saying with a heartfelt meaning... thank you so much to those of you who help keep this ministry going in what appears to be a late hour through your prayers and gifts of support! You guys truly are the real heroes!

Now in recent weeks, even months, I believe the Lord has directed me to deal in an area which will affect both believers and non-believers alike. It has to do with the New World Order Boys and their plan to establish this world as such. As crazy as it sounds, a major part of this is to create a total financial meltdown. This is just a part of things which will help to establish their goal. Now recently, I received a DVD from The Church Of God Ministries International entitled Financial Meltdown. This is with Tom Kerry, and I do plan to air this later this month. Tom is not only a born-again Christian, but he is also a well-known economist. Back in August of 2007, an interesting thing took place. Let's take a look at this...

It began August 9, 2007. For the next 7 trading days, the housing and financial system came very close to a financial meltdown. One news broadcast stated on the same date the ECU shut down three of their largest banking systems, setting off a chain of events that nearly brought the United States financial markets crashing down. Hundreds of billions of Euros, US dollars, and yen were sent into the market to keep it afloat. Wall Street and the rest of the world watched in horror day by day as events continued to escalate, while at the same time, most Americans had no idea anything was taking place. It was somewhat reported on the news, but the news itself doesn't bring out the importance of what was taking place in the financial institutions around the world.

There is a planned financial crash which is a part of the setting up of the New World Order. You might remember when this happened in March again, and George Bush reported nationally that it will be okay in the long run. How can you tell when a New World Order politician is lying? When you see his lips moving! What “long run” was Bush referring to?

Now one month before this very close financial meltdown in August of 2007, Wall Street was having a big party over how the stocks got over 14,000 points! And there was no end in sight for prosperity!

On March 4, 1929 Herbert Hoover in his acceptance speech said, “ We in America today are merit to the financial triumph over poverty, more than any other land.” He went on to say, “In large view, we have reached a higher degree of comfort and security than ever existed before in the world.” Six months later came the great Crash of 1929. A man named Irving Fisher who was a legendary economist stated just days before the crash, “Stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.” Five days later we were in the Great Depression.

In August 2007, 184,000 homes went into foreclosure. It's much worse than that now. The United States is bankrupt and soon also to go into foreclosure. There's no way the United States can pull itself out of a situation it's put itself in.

Let's take a look at those 7 trading days, beginning August 9, 2007.

Things actually began while we slept. On that morning, the Dow was at a low point. In the first few minutes after it had opened, European stocks began to tumble as the EC central bank shut down three major financial institutions. For us, that would be like Chase Manhattan being shut down because they don't have the money to pay their bills. This sent a panic in that first day. 94.8 billion Eurodollars were provided as emergency funding into the Eurozone after liquidity began to dry up. While we slept, the Federal Reserve decided to take the same action to stop the same panic here, and loaned out 24 billion dollars to save our economy. Where did they get it? They just printed it up!

Thursday morning the Dow sees the second worst day of 2007. This time it's different because this time it affects the whole world! This day began to cause a collapse. The infusion of billions of dollars into the credit system was not enough to resolve the financial fears now surfacing. The Dow fell that day 383 points. That was after the United States and the European Market put in almost 100 billion dollars to keep it afloat.

This was just the beginning. Friday, day two, the slide continues. All the markets around the world now begin to absorb the fall. This means they're lending to institutions who don't have the money to pay their bills. On Friday, the ECD added another 64 billion Euros; the 94 billion the day before didn't do the job. That day the Dow dropped another 147 points!

The Federal Reserve that day added another 19 billion in the morning. It wasn't enough, so they added another 19 billion in the afternoon to keep institutions open.

Here's something you need to know... these financial institutions that loan you money to purchase your home, they have the right to call your loan whenever they want to. Let's say you have a home loan. You still owe $100,000 until it's paid off. These loan institutions have the legal right to call that loan. They don't normally do this, but in the case of a financial collapse they can.

What about precious metals, such as gold, platinum, silver? You would think that gold would go up as the market goes down, right? Wrong! Why? All precious metals begin to drop too. Why? Because they are liquid. It's like this...

Let's say all the money I had in gold is being sold so I can pay my margin costs because I bought more than I could afford, and I bought it at $1000, but now it's only worth $50, so I have to pay for those losses. Many who have invested in precious metals have done so on paper agreements, yet did not obtain the actual precious metals. I remember a few years ago I heard on the news how a man invested in silver but instead of having the silver invested on paper, he actually obtained the silver in his possession. It filled up his garage full. This one man caused the stock market to drop greatly the next day, simply because he took the actual silver out of circulation.

Now let's go to Monday, August 13. The reports early in the morning, the NAR reported new home sales were likely to drop another 19%. This meant the economy is not going to recover. Now on the third day, the Japanese started adding funds to keep the United States and Europe afloat. The rest of the world had no clue what was going on. The general public was kept in silence.

Tuesday, August 14, day four... the Dow Jones fell more than 200 more points! On Wednesday August 15, it lost another 167 points. Thursday, August 16, in the morning First Magnus, a home lender, announces, “In light of the collapse of the secondary mortgage market, First Magnus will not fund any more mortgage loans.” They had no more money to lend! This again sent another panic into the financial markets. Countrywide, which is the largest home loan lender, announced they must now draw on its 11.4 billion dollars line of credit. They announced they no longer have enough money. Countrywide is the home loan lender I went through to purchase my cabin. I'm in the same leaky boat many others are in, even though my cabin payments are not much, and I still owe less than $36,000. If not paid off before the coming crash, I too could be in the street and this ministry become non-existent.

Now Thursday morning the Dow plunged another 350 points. On Thursday night while we were sleeping, the world began to brace itself for a financial collapse on Friday in the United States. We didn't know this. Friday morning, day 7 early in the morning, the Federal Reserve, which by the way, is not Federal nor is there a reserve, moved to cut the discount rate by .50, or just one half of one point. This was like putting a small piece of Scotch tape on a big crack of a dam about to burst. The debt of America grows by 1.44 billion dollars every day. America is about to collapse. A planned collapse by the New World Order Boys. Is this Bible prophesy? Absolutely!

You might be thinking how should we prepare? How should we invest? Jesus said not to set up treasures on earth, but in heaven. Have you been doing this? Are you willing to begin now?

Much of what is in this article I've gleaned from this the DVD entitled Financial Meltdown. If you'd like a copy it's available for a gift of any amount. Feel free to make copies and share with others.

Are They Keeping Secrets?

I recently received this in an email from Cephas Ministries: 

Special "Closed Session" of U.S. House of Representatives discussed a lot more than the pending security surveillance provisions!

This was only the fourth time in 176 years that Congress has closed its doors to the public. What was it that they were discussing that they do NOT want us to know about? Word has begun leaking from last nights special, closed-door session of the United States House of Representatives. Not only did members discuss new surveillance provisions as was the publicly stated reason for the closed door session, they also discussed: 

1. the imminent collapse of the U.S. economy to occur by September 2008,

2. the imminent collapse of US federal government finances by February 2009,

3. the possibility of Civil War inside the USA as a result of the collapse,

4. advance round-ups of "insurgent U.S. citizens" likely to move against the government,

5. the detention of those rounded-up at "REX 84" camps constructed throughout the USA,

6. the possibility of retaliation against members of Congress for the collapses,

7. the location of "safe facilities" for members of Congress and their families to reside during expected massive civil unrest,

8. the necessary and unavoidable merger of the United States with Canada (for its natural resources) and with Mexico (for its cheap labor pool),

9. the issuance of a new currency - THE AMERO - for all three nations as the proposed solution to the coming economic Armageddon

. Members of Congress were FORBIDDEN to reveal what was discussed. Several are so furious and concerned about the future of the country, they have begun leaking info. SPREAD THE WORD!!!

Now that you see what is taking place, it would be wise to prepare for basic survival.

There's coming a day when no man will be able to
work...

“I must work the works of Him who sent me while it is day. The night cometh when no man can work.” John 9:4.

Now this Scripture is of course referring to the Great Commission. The following article comes from World Net Daily, Sunday March 23. It's by Bob Unruh, entitled “Canada Orders Ministry by Christians Shut Down”.

The Canadian government has ordered a Christian ministry that teaches doctrine and the differences between Christians and cults shut down because its reference materials were "critical" of the beliefs of those who are not Christian, WND has learned.

So what used to be called MacGregor Ministries with offerings in how to recognize and eliminate "faulty fads" in Christian churches has been re-created in the United States, and now operates under the name MM Outreach Media Ministries.

Lorri MacGregor, who has dedicated her life to explaining the straight and narrow of Christian beliefs since she found her way out of the Jehovah's Witness system years ago, told WND Canada's version of a "hate crimes" law prevented their work from continuing as it had for nearly 30 years.

"Canada is no longer a Christian nation," she said. "And watch out America!" 

The issue of the ministry's charities license in Canada, allowing it to operate as a ministry, came up during a routine audit of the ministry's finances, which was uneventful.

"The auditor that originally looked at our books told us her supervisor had said she wanted us shut down," Mrs. MacGregor told WND. "Canada has very strong hate laws."

She said the ministry points out the differences between Christianity and various cult beliefs, but also with respect, and never as a proponent. She said the work always is in response to a question or issue.

"When a group such as Jehovah's Witnesses said of our doctrine we're worshipping a freakish three-headed God (the Trinity), we should be able to respond," she said. "We say, 'Here's the doctrine of the Trinity and here is where it is in the Scripture.'"

That, however, violates Canada's hate crimes laws, and the ministry was ordered to either make wholesale changes in its presentations, or shut down.

"There was nothing we could do that would please them," she said. "They wanted us every time we criticized something to say, 'So Christianity is equal to Buddhism, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses… Just decide for yourself.'"

"We cannot do that," she said of the work she and her husband, Keith, have spent their lives assembling.

 "She gave us an ultimatum that we needed to say that all religions are equal, Lorri MacGregor was to stop writing our magazine on the cults, we were to remove our websites and stop selling any products to help [teach about] the cults, and any future DVDs that we do on the Bible must not be persuasive," the couple alerted friends in an e-mail. "We could not live under those restrictions."

"We chose to shut down the ministry and we are in Washington to sign papers to start up a U.S. corporation and also start the long process of applying for 501(c)3 status in the U.S. We have been told that within five to 10 years, the U.S. government will be in the same position as the Canadian government and they will also go after Christian apologetics groups," the alert continued.

"It was a no-win situation. We didn't want to see our charity money eaten up by lawyers," Mrs. MacGregor told WND. "It was heart-wrenching."

"We wrote on Feb. 7 and voluntarily revoked our [license] ourselves," she said. "We said this auditor requires us to compromise our Christian faith, which we cannot do."

The ministry entered into the expense of relocating its corporate structure into the United States, and is in the process of applying for that nation's tax-exempt status offered mission organizations.

"You're not allowed in Canada to speak in a persuasive way about your own faith," she said.

The effort cost considerable funds, although Mrs. MacGregor didn't want to provide dollar figures on their loss through the changeover. "We had been saving up to build a studio, because we don't believe in debt," she said. "At the moment we are ready to start construction, the government moved in to shut us down."

"They said if we were just preaching our own Gospel, and weren't criticizing anybody else, we could continue," she said. "If you're going to defend the Gospel, you've got to criticize sometimes."

For example, the ministry addresses the issue of "fads," including a "creeping Eastern mysticism" appearing in some churches, "turning meaningful prayer meetings into mind-emptying rituals called contemplative prayer promising experiences of a spiritual nature."

"Feelings have often replaced the solid word of God," the website warns.

"Numerous churches have become 'seeker' churches, disposing of the parts of the Gospel message that might offend anyone's lifestyle. Crowds come to hear contemporary music, followed by a feel-good message, and perhaps even a 'conversion' experience, to an allaccepting Jesus. No change required! They now consider themselves Christians, but are they?"

Regarding Mormons, they have a list of cautions:

"Mormons won't tell you that all their so-called scriptures such as the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine and Covenants, and even their official 'Mormon Doctrine' statements contradict each other…"

"Mormons won't tell you that the reason the Book of Mormon has no maps is because there is not one scrap of archaeological evidence to support it!"

"Mormons won't tell you that their prophet Joseph Smith was heavily involved in the occult when he founded Mormonism."

"Mormons won't tell you that that they encourage visitations from dead relatives from the 'spirit world,' a practice forbidden in the Bible. (Deuteronomy 18:10- 12.)"

What many do not realize is that when the borders come down, Canadian laws may apply here in the United States. It has begun – they are stopping ministries reaching out to the cults.

Did he really say that? Some interesting Quotes from the late Mormon Prophet and President Gordon B. Hinckley

“Those who observe us say that we are moving into the mainstream of religion. We are not changing. The world's perception of us is changing. We teach the same doctrine.” The Ensign, Nov 2001, pg 5

“They [Mormons] are generally classed as protestants, since they are not Catholic. Actually, they are no closer to Protestantism than they are to Catholicism. Neither historically nor on the basis of modern association, theology, or practice can they be grouped with either... Suffice it say that its theology, its organization, and its practices are in many respects entirely unique among today's Christian denominations.” What Of The Mormons? 1976

“Our message is so imperative, when you stop to think that the salvation, the eternal salvation of the world, rests upon the shoulders of this church. When all is said and done, if the world is going to be saved, we have to do it. There's no escaping from that. No other people in the history of the world have received the kind of mandate that we have received. We are responsible for all who have lived upon the earth. That involves our family history and temple work. We are responsible for all who now live upon the earth, and that involves our missionary work. And we are going to be responsible for all who will yet live upon the earth.” Church News, July 3, 1999, page 3 

“As a church we have critics, many of them. They say we do not believe in the traditional Christ of Christianity. There is some substance to what they say.” The Ensign, May 2002, pg 90

Note on the No Cancer CD offered last month...

Last month I received a call that someone needed help getting their truck out of the snow. Turned out to be the daughter and boyfriend of a friend of mine who has property down by the lake. I learned he just died of cancer that morning. I couldn't believe it. He was fishing here just months ago! 1 out of 4 people today are getting cancer and it's getting worse. What if it could be prevented? Or in many cases cured. It can! Last month we offered a CD on this major suppressed medical discovery. This CD has now been replaced with a DVD entitled: A World Without Cancer. If you would like to obtain a copy, it's available for a gift of any amount this month and do feel free to make copies and share with others.

Can't catch the broadcast anymore?

Our New Mexico stations changed out airtime from 10:00 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. recently and many can't catch the broadcast that early. There's others that live in locations where the Cultivate broadcast is simply not aired. We're still making everything aired available on CDS & DVDS. This is our 30 Club. Anyone wishing to help support this ministry with a gift of $30.00 or more each month may upon request, start receiving everything we air! The programs available from March are: Imminent Military Takeover, The Medical Conspiracy, The Future of Food & A World Without Cancer. All on DVDS! If you'd like to join, let me know when you write.

Did You Know... That April 1st. is not only April Fool's Day but also National Atheist's Day?

"The Fool hath said in his heart, there is no God." (Psalms 14:1) Every year on April 1st I air a really great debate with Ray Comfort vs. Ron Barrier entitled: The Atheist Debate. And get this...Comfort is the Christian, Barrier is the atheist. Comfort vs. Barrier. Unbelievable! If you'd like a copy, it's available on DVD for a gift of any amount this month. And do feel free to make copies and share with others!

Ending Note...

We're now entering Spring. Well, at least most of you guys are. It'll be another month till I do up here in the high country. But from what I can see on the horizon, things may be escalating rather quickly now. What an exciting thing it is to be living in the latter part of the last generation! To live is Christ...And to die is gain! There may be an imminent military takeover but there's also the imminent rapture of the Church. Our blessed hope! Thank you so much again to those of you who help keep this ministry going through your prayers as well as your support. But especially your prayers!

 

Yours because His:
Jim
