REV. JACK "CAPTAIN"SPARROW: Kafir

KafirThe word kafir should be used instead of "unbeliever"

KAFIR
The language of Islam is dualistic. As an example, there is never any reference to humanity as a unified whole. Instead there is a division into believer and kafir (unbeliever). Humanity is not seen as one body, but is divided into whether the person believes Mohammed is the prophet of Allah or not.

Kafir is what the Koran and Islam call the unbelievers. Kafir is the worst word in the human language.

The Koran defines the kafir and says that the kafir is:

Hated- 40:35 They who dispute the signs of Allah [kafirs] without authority having reached them are greatly hated by Allah and the believers. So Allah seals up every arrogant, disdainful heart. and despised by Allah.

Mocked- 83:34 On that day the faithful will mock the kafirs, while they sit on bridal couches and watch them. Should not the kafirs be paid back for what they did?

Punished- 25:77 Say to the kafirs: My Lord does not care for you or your prayers. You have rejected the truth, so sooner or later, a punishment will come.

Beheaded- 47:4 When you encounter the kafirs on the battlefield, cut off their heads until you have thor-oughly defeated them and then take the prisoners and tie them up firmly.

Confused- 6:25 Some among them listen to you [Mohammed], but We have cast veils over their [kafirs] hearts and a heaviness to their ears so that they cannot understand our signs [the Koran].

Plotted against- 86:15 They plot and scheme against you [Mohammed], and I plot and scheme against them. Therefore, deal calmly with the kafirs and leave them alone for a while.

Terrorized- 8:12 Then your Lord spoke to His angels and said, "I will be with you. Give strength to the believers. I will send terror into the kafirs' hearts, cut off their heads and even the tips of their fin-gers!"

Annihilated- 6:45 So the kafirs were annihilated. All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

Killed- 4:91 If they do not keep away from you or offer you peace or withdraw their hostilities, then seize them and kill them wherever they are. We give you complete authority over them.

Crucified- 5:33 The only reward for those who war against Allah and His messengers and strive to com-mit mischief on the earth is that they will be slain or crucified, have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land. This will be their disgrace in this world, and a great torment shall be theirs in the next except those who repent before you overpower them. Know that Allah is forgiving and merciful.

Made war on- 9:29 Make war on those who have received the Scriptures [Jews and Christians] but do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day. They do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden. The Christians and Jews do not follow the religion of truth until they submit and pay the poll tax [jizya], and they are humiliated.

A Muslim is not the friend of a kafir- 3:28 Believers should not take kafirs as friends in preference to other believers. Those who do this will have none of Allah's protection and will only have themselves as guards. Allah warns you to fear Him for all will return to Him.

A kafir is ignorant- 6:111 Even if We had sent down the angels to them [kafirs], the dead had spoken to them, and We had gathered all things before their eyes, they would not believe unless Allah had willed it, but most of them are ignorant.

Evil- 23:97 And say: Oh my Lord! I seek refuge with You from the suggestions of the evil ones [kafirs]. And I seek refuge with you, my Lord, from their presence.

Disgraced- 37:18 Tell them, "Yes! And you [kafirs] will be disgraced." a partner of Satan 25:55 And still they worship others besides Allah who can neither help nor hurt them. The kafir is Satan's ally against Allah. Unclean- 9:28 Oh, believers, only the kafirs are unclean.

Cursed- 33:60 They [kafirs] will be cursed, and wherever they are found, they will be seized and mur-dered. It was Allah's same practice with those who came before them, and you will find no change in Allah's ways.

Stolen from- Bukhari 5,59,537 On the day of Khaybar, Allah's Apostle divided the spoils of war of Khaybar with the ratio of two shares for the horse and one share for the foot soldier.

Raped- Ishaq 759 [Mohammed's official biography] On the occasion of Khaybar, Mohammed put forth new orders about forcing sex with captive women. If the woman was pregnant she was not to be used for sex until after the birth of the child. Nor were any women to be used for sex who were unclean with regard to Muslim laws about menstruation.

Christians and Jews are infidels, but infidels are kafirs, too. Polytheists are Hindus, but they are also kafirs. The terms infidel and polytheist are religious words. Only the word "kafir" shows the common political treatment of Christian, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, animist, atheist and humanist.

The word kafir should be used instead of "unbeliever", the standard word. Unbeliever is a neutral term. The Koran defines the kafir and kafir is not a neutral word. A kafir is not merely someone who does not agree with Islam, but a kafir is evil, disgusting, the lowest form of life. Kafirs can be tortured, killed, lied to and cheated. So the usual word "unbeliever" does not reflect the political reality of Islam.


Evil- 23:97 And say: Oh my Lord! I seek refuge with You from the suggestions of the evil ones [kafirs]. And I seek refuge with you, my Lord, from their presence.

THE HAND OF SAMUEL ARMAS



The Hand of SAMUEL ARMAS, at 21 weeks, reaching out and grasping surgeons hand during surgery, as if thanking him for life. ----- The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta.

She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb. During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr. Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. Dr. Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.

The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture, "Hand of Hope." The text explaining the picture begins, "The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life." Little Samuel's mother said they "wept for days" when they saw the picture. She said, "The photo reminds us pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person" Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful. Now see the actual picture, and it is awesome...incredible....and hey, pass it on! The world needs to see this one. GOD BLESS.

THE LAND OF ISRAEL THE PROMISE LAND

By: Bill Carroccio



The Land of Israel The Promised Land
The history of the Jewish people begins with Abraham, and the story of Abraham begins when G-d tells him to leave his homeland, promising Abraham and his descendants a new home in the land of Canaan. (Gen. 12). This is the land now known as Israel, named after Abraham's grandson, whose descendants are the Jewish people. The land is often referred to as the Promised Land because of G-d's repeated promise (Gen. 12:7, 13:15, 15:18, 17:8) to give the land to the descendants of Abraham'

Gen.12v7 And HaShem appeared unto Abram, and said: 'Unto thy seed will I give this land'; and he builded there an altar unto HaShem, who appeared unto him.
Gen. 13v15 for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
Gen. 15v18 In that day HaShem made a covenant with Abram, saying: 'Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates
Gen. 17v8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their G-d.'

The land is described repeatedly in the Torah as a good land and "a land flowing with milk and honey" (e.g., Ex. 3:8). This description may not seem to fit well with the desert images we see on the nightly news, but let's keep in mind that the land was repeatedly abused by conquerors who were determined to make the land uninhabitable for the Jews. In the few decades since the Jewish people regained control of the land, we have seen a tremendous improvement in its agriculture. Israeli agriculture today has a very high yield.

Ex. 3v8 and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

Jews have lived in this land continuously from the time of its original conquest by Joshua more than 3200 years ago until the present day.

Please feel free to tag yourself (friend's and family) share, copy, download, or just enjoy!! Smiles are always free!!

Shalom with Love!!

When I Say, "I am a Christian,"



by Carol Wimmer



When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not shouting, "I've been

saved!"

I'm whispering, "I get lost! That's why I chose this
way"



When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't speak with human

pride
I'm confessing that I stumble-needing God to be my guide



When I

say, "I am a Christian," I'm not trying to be strong

I'm professing that I'm
weak and pray for strength to carry on



When I say, "I am a Christian,"

I'm not bragging of success

I'm admitting that I've failed and cannot ever
pay the debt



When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't think I know it

all
I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught



When I say, "I

am a Christian," I'm not claiming to be perfect

My flaws are far too visible
but God believes I'm worth it



When I say, "I am a Christian," I still

feel the sting of pain

I have my share of heartache which is why I seek His
name



When I say, "I am a Christian," I do not wish to judge

I have no

authority--I only know I'm loved

***Jesus Christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings***

***No one knows what is coming this year. But one thing is very sure for all of God's people.***

***The Lord has promised to preserve His people and never forsake them.***

***Now is the time to fill our hearts with His precious promises so that we will not fear.***

***He will never leave us nor forsake us!***


So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."


But as many as received Him [Jesus], to them He [Jesus] gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His [Jesus] Name. (John 1:12)


A Kafir would be anyone who is not of the Islamic faith. This would be me because I believe that Jesus Christ is my salvation and nobody else.

I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST HAS GIVEN ME A NEW LIFE IN HIM, HE ALONE HAS SAVED ME AND ONE DAY I WILL BE WITH HIM FOR EVER AND EVER. THAT HE ALONE IS SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.

Kafir is what the Koran and Islam call the unbelievers. The word kafir is used for the worst word in the human language. The Koran defines the kafir and says that the kafir should be hated, mocked, punished, beheaded, confused, plotted against, terrorized, killed, crucified, and made war on. This is why they see nothing wrong in acting the way they do.

Christians and Jews are called infidels, and infidels are kafirs, too. The term infidel or unbeliever are used in place of a religious word. Only the word "kafir" shows the common political treatment of Christians, Jews, Hindu, Buddist, atheist and the humanist.

This information on kafir was found at this sit http://www.politicalislam.com/blog/kafir/

Muslims are told that they will not have any protection from Allah if they make friends with the "unbelievers" [the kafirs].

The word kafir should be used instead of "unbeliever", the standard word. Unbeliever is a neutral term. The Koran defines kafir as not being a neutral word. Kafir can be lied to and cheated.



That if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in our heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9 & 10)


I pray that more people of the Islamic faith would turn to the Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation. He paid the price of sin not only for me but for all.

For those who would like to ask Jesus into their heart {spirit} right now you can. You can by following the scriptures found in the Word of God. The Bible says that if a person would believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and God raised Jesus from the dead, that He is setting at the right hand of the Father and would confess Jesus as Lord and Savior that He would save them. Here when God talks about the heart of man He is talking about the spirit of man.

Romans 1:16 says that the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. {For those who do not see the nugget hidden in this verse let me show you it to you. The power for God to save comes from the truth (gospel is the truth) of Christ. Christ is the only way unto salvation, no other place, no other person, and no work can save only Jesus the Christ. Without Jesus you will have no salvation, this is the gospel.

HEALING SCRIPTURES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD WRITTEN IN HIS BOOK THE BIBLE FOR YOU AND I

HEALING SCRIPTURES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD WRITTEN IN HIS BOOK THE BIBLE FOR YOU AND I
posted by what the Koran calls a Kafir RevJack Captain Sparrow on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 at 8:10am

HEALING SCRIPTURES of the BIBLE

First of all I want you to take a close look at what a name means. God Almighty has several, and one of with will deal with healing. [JEHOVAH RAPHA=This Name means THE LORD OUR HEALER, Jehovah Heals ] HE IS our HEALER, THE GREAT I AM!

Go to my Blog for more information on the Names of God. http://revjacksparrow.blogspot.com/2011/08/names-of-god-has-purpose.html

Exodus 15:26 – “For I AM the Lord God who heals thee.” (Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our healer)

Psalm 103:2&3 – “…Who (God) heals ALL your diseases.”

Psalm 107:20 – “He (God) sent His Word, and healed them…”

Proverbs 18:21 – “Death and Life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it will eat the fruit of it.” Our confession is very important. What should we confess? What the Bible says about our healing. Example… Is. 53:4&5 (daily confession of God’s Word)

Isaiah 53:4 – “He (Jesus) has borne our griefs (‘mekob’- afflictions, infirmities & diseases), and carried our sorrows (‘khole’- pain & suffering): yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.” Jesus carried our afflictions, infirmities, diseases and physical pain so that we wouldn’t have to.

Matthew 8:16&17 – “When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He(Jesus) cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.” This confirms Isaiah 53:4.

Isaiah 53:5 – (1) “He (Jesus) was wounded (broken, afflicted, slain) our transgressions (sinful acts), he was bruised (crushed, destroyed and oppressed) for our iniquities (sinful nature); (this represents the spiritual nature of man and our sins that are forgiven) (2) The chastisement (punishment) for our peace was laid upon him, (this represents the mind or soul that has been healed, cleansed and put at peace) (3) and by his stripes (wounds, bruises) WE ARE HEALED (made whole).” This verse represents healing and cleansing in the spirit, soul and body.

1 Peter 2:24 – “Jesus Himself…by who’s stripes you WERE healed.”

This verse shows that we have ALREADY been healed, Satan has told us lies so many times that most believe him and not (Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our healer)

Matthew 6:13 – “And they (the apostles) cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them. Sometimes people are healed when demons leave or when the person is anointed with Oil in Jesus’ name. [One thing that the Oil does is] The Oil represents the Holy Spirit Who enters into that person and brings healing with Him.]

Matthew 14:14 – “And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.” Jesus has great compassion for those who are in need of a healing today, He has not changed. We have been listening to the wrong people, those who do not realize that they are helping Satan put doubt and disbelief into our minds. When we doubt we loose our faith, a doubter will not receive anything for the Lord.

Mark 1:40 – “Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean." Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed.” This has shown us that Jesus is willing to heal us when we will believe on Him.

Mark 10:52 – “And Jesus said unto him, Go your way; your FAITH has made you WHOLE. And immediately he received his sight…” We are healed by our Faith in Jesus and His Word.

Mark 11:24 – “…whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you have received them already, and you shall have them.” When we pray for healing, believe that we have already received it, expect it and we shall be healed.

Mark 16:18 – “In My Name (Jesus’ Name) they (Christians) shall cast out demons… and they (Christians) shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” Believers in Jesus Christ have the authority to expel demons that cause sickness and to heal diseases with the Name of Jesus, Jesus has come into every Born-again believer to bring His Fathers kingdom back to Him. It is just as if we were Jesus Himself.

Luke 4:40 – “When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them all.” Jesus healed ALL who came to Him, not just some... And Jesus is still the same today!

Luke 17:15-19 – “And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: Your faith has made you whole (complete, restored). The man received brand NEW fingers and toes to replace the one that the leprosy destroyed. God has NEW body parts for all of us if we will only believe Him for it.

Luke 22:19 – “The Lord’s Supper” Taking communion can bring healing by taking the bread which represents Jesus’ body that was broken for us. The bread is for our physical nature such as healing and divine health. The wine, which represents Jesus' blood, is for our spiritual nature, washing away our sins. [Both the blood and the bread are for our flesh and our spirit. When we believe on Christ Jesus, He not only removes all our of sin nature, He gives us power to over come that temptation (sin) when it comes. When sickness comes he already has giving our bodies power to overcome any sickness, what we need to do is to renew our minds and start to think like God. JOHN 10:10-Satan is out to Kill, Steal, and Destroy everything that God Almighty has created. He is the one who puts all sickness and disease on our earthly bodies. He is the one who plant those thoughts into our minds so we will sin, Not God!]

Acts 3:2-8 – “And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, "Look at us." So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them--walking, leaping, and praising God.” The lame man (Believed and Expected) to receive a gift from Peter. Miracles happen when we (Believe) God has already moved.


Acts 14:8-10 – “And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked. This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet!" And he leaped and walked.” When (we have) Faith to believe we were already healed, then we can freely receive the healing Jesus has already provided.


Salvation – (Sozo) means…‘To be Saved, Cured, Healed, Delivered, Restored, made Whole and Complete.’ (spirit, soul and body)


Romans 10:12&13 – “For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be SAVED." The word “Saved” here is the word “Sozo” in Greek which means to be saved, healed and made whole. Therefore who ever calls upon Jesus will not only be saved from hell, but will also be healed and made completely whole(WHEN AND IF) they have the faith for it.

2 Corinthians 5:17 – “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW creation; old things have passed away; behold, ALL things have become NEW.” All of our old sicknesses and diseases and bad body parts are replaced with NEW parts if we will believe.

James 5:14-16 – “Calling for the elders for prayer… confessing your faults” “And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up…” We can be healed when we confess our faults to one another.

Revelation 21:5&6 – “Then He (Jesus) who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make ALL things NEW." And He said to me (John), "Write, for these words are true and faithful." And He said to me, "It is done!”

Jesus has already provided all the NEW things, including new body parts, for all those who believe and receive it. http://revjacksparrow.blogspot.com/2011/08/names-of-god-has-purpose.html

The Wolves Within.... by Brown Eagle on Saturday, July 9, 2011 at 7:08pm

Proverbs 4:23...Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.



The Wolves Within....






An old Grandfather, whose grandson came to him with anger at a schoolmate who had done him an injustice, said, "Let me tell you a story. I too, at times, have felt a great hate for those that have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy. It is like taking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times."



He continued, "It is as if there are two wolves inside me; one is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way."



"But the other wolf, ah! He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit."



The boy looked intently into his Grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which one wins, Grandfather?"



The Grandfather solemnly said, "The one I feed."

THE NAMES OF GOD HAS A PURPOSE

The Word of God admonishes all His people to CALL UPON HIS NAME." To do so it helps to understand His attributes.

"And they that know His Name will put their trust in Him: for You, Lord, has not forsaken them that seek thee." (Psalm 9:10)

May it also enrich your prayer life as you begin to refer to Him by some of His Mighty Names.

ELOHIM:
ELOHIM:Creator; sovereign of the universe, and life, One who covenants to preserve His creation.

NOISYROOM BY AJ

***[TAKEN FROM A POST ON FB]***

Lost in all the politics of raising the debt ceiling is a simple understanding of why it is so dangerous to do so.

The government-controlled media is trying to ensure that the public doesn’t have the facts, lacks a clear understanding of the problem and chooses sides based on emotion.

The fact is, at the end of 2008, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported, “At the end of 2008, that debt equaled 40 percent of the nation’s annual economic output (a little above the 40-year average of 37 percent). Since then, the figure has shot upward: By the end of fiscal year 2011, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects federal debt will reach roughly 70 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) — the highest percentage since shortly after World War II.”

The entire US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2010 was $14.62 Trillion. The US debt ceiling currently stands at $14.294 Trillion, which was exceeded in May of 2011. Obama and Congress will be raising the debt ceiling well above our US GDP. Does this make America economically stronger or weaker?

To clarify what the rating agencies said, “Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s credit rating services issued warnings that United States could be downgraded because of the continued large deficits and increasing debt.”

To say that our government is simply spending more than it takes in is an understatement when it comes to the out-of-control spending we’ve experienced under President Obama; what he’s doing is dangerous. He has spent about $12.2 Trillion in just 3 years; that’s $5.15 Trillion more than the approximate $7.05 Trillion that was given to him by taxpayers.

Obama has made America the largest debtor-nation in the history of the world and fully intends to keep spending.

To put this into perspective, let’s look at it this way… It’s like a person spending $86,500 a year when they only bring home $50,000. How long will creditors keep loaning money to this person… especially if this person says they refuse to meaningfully cut their spending and instead expects to increase it every year?

Let’s look at it another way… It took roughly 220 years for our nation to accumulate $5.181 Trillion in debt which occurred in 1996. From 1996 to the end of 2008 (12 years), another $4.473 Trillion was added to our national debt, which is why we screamed for Bush to stop spending. Obama is adding $5.15 Trillion in just 3 years. What he’s doing is dangerous.

So, if you’re not screaming for Obama to stop spending, why not? Raising the debt ceiling without significant strings attached gives him the blank checks he needs to plunge us even further into debt. He refuses to cut spending and dishonestly threatens our creditors, seniors and others in hopes they’ll support him out of fear. He’s historic alright; no President in the history of our nation has ever threatened its citizens or its creditors in this way.

Obama isn’t spending our money to help improve the lives of America’s poor, seniors, veterans, homeless, minorities or others we care deeply about. Here’s just a taste of his real priorities… where he’s been spending our money and what our kids and grand kids will be expected to repay for decades to come:

OVERSEAS
$63 billion – US Global Health Initiative.
$665.7 million – International Family Planning & Reproductive Health Programs.
$1 billion – to Mexico so that they can drill in the Gulf (while Obama caused 23,000 Americans to lose their jobs because of his ban on US drilling in the Gulf).
$2 billion – to Brazil for OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING!!!!
$147.3 million – US pays Brazil each year in cotton subsidies to keep its mouth shut.
$30 billion – of the $100 billion per year for UN Climate Change Policy; the UN admitted global warming is about wealth redistribution, not climate change policy.
$430 billion from TARP that Timothy Geitner stated will be recovered by January 2011 – of which the Fed spent $350 billion in taxpayer funds to save 35 foreign banks.
$8 billion – US pays to IMF for Greece Bailout.
$1.9 billion – International Agriculture Programs.
$54.1 billion – USAID to other countries for FY 2011 – President Obama already sent $173.5 billion for international/foreign assistance ($90.6 billion in 2010 – a 60% increase compared to FY 2008; $82.9 billion in 2009 – a 47% increase compared to FY 2008).
$5.96 million – U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation 2010 Awards (i.e. mosque restoration overseas). NOTE: Section 205.1(d) of title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations prohibits USAID funds from being used for the rehabilitation of structures to the extent that those structures are used for “inherently religious activities.”
PROPAGANDA ORGANIZATIONS
$80 billion to Apollo Alliance (socialist/communist George Soros group) to expand community agitation; see this video too.
$422 million – Funding for Public Broadcasting/NPR – a private company that doesn’t need taxpayer funds.
$161 million – NEH anti-American group which targets our military.
GROW GOVERNMENT
$44 billion – This represents a 28% pay increase for Fed employees (Fed pay increased 36.9% since 2000 while private worker’s pay increased only 8.8%.)
$148 billion – loaned to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – these are government operated organizations that are taking control of 90%+ of U.S. home mortgages, and these are the organizations who contributed to the housing meltdown.
$1.416 billion – Serve America Act FY 2011 to recruit our children at school and get them into “volunteerism” (i.e. recruit and train community agitators).
$1 billion – Dead people to whom our Federal government sends our money.
$1.4 billion – FDA to take over our food supply and hire 17,000 more taxpayer-funded government employees.
$400 million – Michelle Obama’s Food Deserts to open government food stores that are closer to urban areas to save residents the 5 extra minutes of driving time that it takes to get to their existing, privately owned store.
GLOBAL WARMING
$1.741 billion – INCREASE for “critical efficiency and renewable programs” – this is just the amount of increase to their existing budget.
$2.4 billion – “clean tech” for energy efficiency and renewable energy programs, a $2.287 billion increase from $113 million in the previous budget [ID:nN01180827].
$6 billion – clean energy technologies.
$535 million – Global warming money for a politically-connected private company, Solyndra, to lay off workers and build a new plant (see video here).
$611.4 million – Bureau of Labor Statistics to gather data on ‘green jobs.’
$123 million – DoE’s wind program, a $43 million increase over current spending.
$300 million – the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, or ARPA-E.
$880 Billion is being spent on these items alone in 2011. Are these discretionary expenditures worthy of collapsing America’s economy at a time when we need to reign in spending? If Obama continues to refuse to cut spending, that’s just what will happen.

Don’t be fooled by the propaganda coming from Obama and his regime – to include his Move On.org pals. They’re doing George Soros’ bidding. If you haven’t heard, Soros wants a ‘managed decline’ of our dollar and an economic collapse is exactly what he wants. Obama’s actions are clearly leading to what Soros wants.

It’s dangerous to raise the debt ceiling without significant cuts and caps on Obama’s spending and a legislative balanced-budget amendment to prevent future Presidents from doing what Obama’s doing to America.

***ASK YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER ABOUT WHAT YOU SHOULD DO WITH THIS. DON'T HELP UNLESS YOU ARE LEAD!!!*** I DO NOT KNOW THIS PERSON!!!***
From Tony Cossey:
A Sincere Cry for God to Intervene...
I have tried so hard not to write this letter... I have asked God to show me what to do... I keep getting the same idea popping into my head... let His people know. God has told me and shown me that He works His blessings out through other people. In the past, there have been a few very special people that felt as though God led them to help support me and the ministry. I thank and praise God for those few and thank them (you know who you are) for your obedience to God. I have come to a point where financially I am in ruins. That actually could be considered an understatement. I am crying out to God for help. My church has helped me in the past and I pray they are blessed for that! I also pray that everyone that has blessed me in any way is blessed over abundantly by God! I know many people are struggling financially... and I know many people can't or won't help others in need at this time. I am not trying to guilt anyone into helping. I am not trying to make anyone feel sorry for me. I am just being transparent... I am sharing my burden with my brothers and sisters in Christ! Some will verbally attack me for this cry for help. That's up to you... but maybe it would be best if you have nothing constructive or helpful to say that you say nothing at all. Because of the ministry I have been called to... I continuously come under attack from the enemy. I am not afraid of Satan and his demons... and will not stop fighting them. My goal is to assist people to find true freedom through Jesus Christ. That is my calling. Your calling may be different or the same... regardless we are all parts of God's Army. My current situation will require immediate intervention. I have no doubt that God has already put things in motion to work this out. God is a faithful God! I am only His servant... and happy to be called as such! Here is what my needs are... I will not list the specifics, just the total. I will tell you at this point, this is going for our survival... before I can go further with the ministry, I need to meet some very immediate needs. Items as small as toiletries, shoes, and gasoline to items as large as taxes, a vehicle and much need dental work. I have no money... I are praying for God to bless me with at least $5000 and that doesn't cover everything but it does get me out of the immediate situation. No, I don't expect anyone to help us with all of that... but if each of my friends sent even $1... it would be close. Do I think everyone will help... no I don't. But if you pray about this and feel that God is leading you to assist me... then I fully believe you are missing out on even greater blessings by choosing not to do so. If you can't help me financially... I understand and I will pray that you are blessed in ways that you can be a blessing to others. If you can help... I will pray that God multiplies your blessing back to you! Either way, I ask for you to keep me in prayer each day! I need a strong prayer coverage over me, my marriage and our ministry to counter the ongoing attacks from the enemy. I normally would give you my PO Box address... but the payment on it is due at the end of this month and I currently don't know if we will be able to pay it. So I will give you a few options.... 1.

3. We can also receive Western Union money transfers. If you wish to contact me by email: mtcministry@aol.com My phone is shut off at the moment so I will not be able to post my phone number. Thank you so much for reading, praying for me and if you are able to assist me, I thank you for that as well! God bless you!

Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you. --Luke 6:38 In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel. --1 Cor 9:14

1938 Austria A Must Read

***Received this from a friend!***


This was in my inbox this morning, not sure how many of you have seen or have read this, but encase you've never read it I feel it's well worth your time, so please read!

By: Kitty Werthmann

What I am about to tell you is something you've probably never heard or will ever read in history books.

I believe that I am an eyewitness to history. I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history. We elected him by a landslide - 98% of the vote.. I've never read that in any American publications. Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.

In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25% inflation and 25% bank loan interest rates.

Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didn't want to work; there simply weren't any jobs. My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people - about 30 daily.

The Communist Party and the National Socialist Party were fighting each other. Blocks and blocks of cities like Vienna , Linz , and Graz were destroyed. The people became desperate and petitioned the government to let them decide what kind of government they wanted.

We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been in power since 1933. We had been told that they didn't have unemployment or crime, and they had a high standard of living. Nothing was ever said about persecution of any group -- Jewish or otherwise. We were led to believe that everyone was happy. We wanted the same way of life in Austria . We were promised that a vote for Hitler would mean the end of unemployment and help for the family. Hitler also said that businesses would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back. Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler.

We were overjoyed, and for three days we danced in the streets and had candlelight parades. The new government opened up big field kitchens and everyone was fed.

After the election, German officials were appointed, and like a miracle, we suddenly had law and order. Three or four weeks later, everyone was employed. The government made sure that a lot of work was created through the Public Work Service.


Hitler decided we should have equal rights for women. Before this, it was a custom that married Austrian women did not work outside the home. An able-bodied husband would be looked down on if he couldn't support his family. Many women in the teaching profession were elated that they could retain the jobs they previously had been required to give up for marriage.




Hitler Targets Education - Eliminates Religious Instruction for Children:
Our education was nationalized. I attended a very good public school. The population was predominantly Catholic, so we had religion in our schools. The day we elected Hitler (March 13, 1938), I walked into my schoolroom to find the crucifix replaced by Hitler's picture hanging next to a Nazi flag. Our teacher, a very devout woman, stood up and told the class we wouldn't pray or have religion anymore. Instead, we sang "Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles," and had physical education.

Sunday became National Youth Day with compulsory attendance. Parents were not pleased about the sudden change in curriculum. They were told that if they did not send us, they would receive a stiff letter of warning the first time. The second time they would be fined the equivalent of $300, and the third time they would be subject to jail. The first two hours consisted of political indoctrination. The rest of the day we had sports. As time went along, we loved it. Oh, we had so much fun and got our sports equipment free. We would go home and gleefully tell our parents about the wonderful time we had.

My mother was very unhappy. When the next term started, she took me out of public school and put me in a convent. I told her she couldn't do that and she told me that someday when I grew up, I would be grateful. There was a very good curriculum, but hardly any fun - no sports, and no political indoctrination. I hated it at first but felt I could tolerate it. Every once in a while, on holidays, I went home. I would go back to my old friends and ask what was going on and what they were doing. Their loose lifestyle was very alarming to me. They lived without religion. By that time unwed mothers were glorified for having a baby for Hitler. It seemed strange to me that our society changed so suddenly. As time went along, I realized what a great deed my mother did so that I wasn't exposed to that kind of humanistic philosophy.




Equal Rights Hits Home:
In 1939, the war started and a food bank was established. All food was rationed and could only be purchased using food stamps. At the same time, a full-employment law was passed which meant if you didn't work, you didn't get a ration card, and if you didn't have a card, you starved to death. Women who stayed home to raise their families didn't have any marketable skills and often had to take jobs more suited for men.

Soon after this, the draft was implemented. It was compulsory for young people, male and female, to give one year to the labor corps. During the day, the girls worked on the farms, and at night they returned to their barracks for military training just like the boys. They were trained to be anti-aircraft gunners and participated in the signal corps. After the labor corps, they were not discharged but were used in the front lines. When I go back to Austria to visit my family and friends, most of these women are emotional cripples because they just were not equipped to handle the horrors of combat. Three months before I turned 18, I was severely injured in an air raid attack. I nearly had a leg amputated, so I was spared having to go into the labor corps and into military service.




Hitler Restructured the Family Through Daycare:

When the mothers had to go out into the work force, the government immediately established child care centers. You could take your children ages 4 weeks to school age and leave them there around-the-clock, 7 days a week, under the total care of the government. The state raised a whole generation of children.. There were no motherly women to take care of the children, just people highly trained in child psychology. By this time, no one talked about equal rights. We knew we had been had.



Health Care and Small Business Suffer Under Government Controls:
Before Hitler, we had very good medical care. Many American doctors trained at the University of Vienna . After Hitler, health care was socialized, free for everyone. Doctors were salaried by the government. The problem was, since it was free, the people were going to the doctors for everything. When the good doctor arrived at his office at 8 a.m., 40 people were already waiting and, at the same time, the hospitals were full. If you needed elective surgery, you had to wait a year or two for your turn. There was no money for research as it was poured into socialized medicine. Research at the medical schools literally stopped, so the best doctors left Austria and emigrated to other countries.


As for healthcare, our tax rates went up to 80% of our income. Newlyweds immediately received a $1,000 loan from the government to establish a household. We had big programs for families. All day care and education were free. High schools were taken over by the government and college tuition was subsidized. Everyone was entitled to free handouts, such as food stamps, clothing, and housing.

We had another agency designed to monitor business. My brother-in-law owned a restaurant that had square tables. Government officials told him he had to replace them with round tables because people might bump themselves on the corners. Then they said he had to have additional bathroom facilities. It was just a small dairy business with a snack bar. He couldn't meet all the demands. Soon, he went out of business. If the government owned the large businesses and not many small ones existed, it could be in control.

We had consumer protection. We were told how to shop and what to buy. Free enterprise was essentially abolished. We had a planning agency specially designed for farmers. The agents would go to the farms, count the live-stock, then tell the farmers what to produce, and how to produce it.




"Mercy Killing" Redefined:
In 1944, I was a student teacher in a small village in the Alps . The villagers were surrounded by mountain passes which, in the winter, were closed off with snow, causing people to be isolated. So people intermarried and offspring were sometimes retarded. When I arrived, I was told there were 15 mentally retarded adults, but they were all useful and did good manual work. I knew one, named Vincent, very well. He was a janitor of the school. One day I looked out the window and saw Vincent and others getting into a van. I asked my superior where they were going. She said to an institution where the State Health Department would teach them a trade, and to read and write. The families were required to sign papers with a little clause that they could not visit for 6 months. They were told visits would interfere with the program and might cause homesickness.

As time passed, letters started to dribble back saying these people died a natural, merciful death. The villagers were not fooled. We suspected what was happening. Those people left in excellent physical health and all died within 6 months. We called this euthanasia.




The Final Steps - Gun Laws:

Next came gun registration.. People were getting injured by guns. Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long after-wards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily.

No more freedom of speech. Anyone who said something against the government was taken away. We knew many people who were arrested, not only Jews, but also priests and ministers who spoke up.

Totalitarianism didn't come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria . Had it happened overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath. Instead, we had creeping gradualism. Now, our only weapons were broom handles. The whole idea sounds almost unbelievable that the state, little by little eroded our freedom.

After World War II, Russian troops occupied Austria . Women were raped, preteen to elderly. The press never wrote about this either. When the Soviets left in 1955, they took everything that they could, dismantling whole factories in the process. They sawed down whole orchards of fruit, and what they couldn't destroy, they burned.. We called it The Burned Earth. Most of the population barricaded themselves in their houses. Women hid in their cellars for 6 weeks as the troops mobilized. Those who couldn't, paid the price. There is a monument in Vienna today, dedicated to those women who were massacred by the Russians.




This is an eye witness account. It's true...those of us who sailed past the Statue of Liberty came to a country of unbelievable freedom and opportunity.

America Truly is the Greatest Country in the World.

Don't Let Freedom Slip Away!

"After America, There is No Place to Go"

Scriptures for the Troubled







Psalm 46

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas;

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof.

There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her; She shall not be moved: God will help her, and that right early.

The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Come, behold the works of Jehovah, What desolation he hath made in the earth.

He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.



John 11:25

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live;

and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this?



Job 19:25-27

But as for me I know that my Redeemer liveth, And at last he will stand up upon the earth:

And after my skin, even this body,is destroyed,Then without my flesh shall I see God;

Whom I, even I, shall see, on my side, And mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.My heart is consumed within me.



Job 1:21

and he said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah.

In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.



Psalms 46

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, And though the mountains be shaken into the heart of the seas;

Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains tremble with the swelling thereof.

There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her; She shall not be moved: God will help her, and that right early.

The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Come, behold the works of Jehovah, What desolation's he hath made in the earth.

He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.



John 15:25-29

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live.

For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:

and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.



Psalm 20:1 & 2

Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

Send thee help from the sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion;



Psalms 39:4 & 5

Jehovah, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how frail I am.

Behold, thou hast made my days as hand breadths; And my life-time is as nothing before thee: Surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity.



2 Samuel 12:19-23

Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do that which is evil in his sight? thou hast smitten Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.

Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house; and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan said unto David, Jehovah also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of Jehovah to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

And Nathan departed unto his house. And Jehovah struck the child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.

David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.

And the elders of his house arose, and stood beside him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead!

But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.

Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel; and he came into the house of Jehovah, and worshiped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.

Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.

And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who knoweth whether Jehovah will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?

But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.



Matthew 19:13-15

Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven.

And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.



Psalm 90

A prayer of Moses the man of God.

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place In all generations.

Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Thou turnest man to destruction, And sayest, Return, ye children of men.

For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: In the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

In the morning it flourish, and groweth up; In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

For we are consumed in thine anger, And in thy wrath are we troubled.

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten, Or even by reason of strength fourscore years; Yet is their pride but labor and sorrow; For it is soon gone, and we fly away.

Who knoweth the power of thine anger, And thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?

So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.

Return, O Jehovah; How long? And let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

Oh satisfy us in the morning with thy loving kindness, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, And the years wherein we have seen evil.

Let thy work appear unto thy servants, And thy glory upon their children.

And let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And establish thou the work of our hands upon us; Yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.



Psalm 91

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.

For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.

For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;

There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.



Psalm 23

Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside still waters.

He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever.



Job 14:1 & 2

Man, that is born of a woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble.

He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.



Psalms 103:15-18

As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.

But the loving kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children’s children;

To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them.



Psalms 46:10 &11

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Jehovah of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.



Psalm 111

Praise ye Jehovah. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

The works of Jehovah are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

His work is honor and majesty; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

He hath given food unto them that fear him: He will ever be mindful of his covenant.

He hath showed his people the power of his works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.

The works of his hands are truth and justice; All his precepts are sure.

They are established for ever and ever; They are done in truth and uprightness.

He hath sent redemption unto his people; He hath commanded his covenant for ever: Holy and reverend is his name.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do his commandments: His praise endureth for ever.



Psalm 121

I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come?

My help cometh from Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep.

Jehovah is thy keeper: Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.

Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; He will keep thy soul.

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth and for evermore.



Isa.40:3-5

The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God.

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain:

and the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it.



Isa. 40:11, 29-31

He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and will gently lead those that have their young.

29-31He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.



John 1011-18

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep.

He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth them:

he fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,

even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice: and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.

Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father.



Revelation 21

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more.

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God:
