Updated info-Norway Shootings-Yosemite Waterfall Accident

To all of my friends around this planet,

  The news is sometimes hard to see.  Things are not going well on this planet.

  Updated:  (They took the shooter to the island where he performed the heinous crime, and he showed no remorse.)  Please pray for Norway.  In Oslo, Norway, a bomb ripped through a government building killing at least 7 people, and 45 minutes later, the same man who set off the bomb, dressed as a police officer, opened fire at a youth camp, killing at least 86 and wounding 96.  There are still people missing at both locations.  He lured the youth to come to him, and they did because they thought he was a police officer, and then he started shooting.  One group of more than 4o youth were standing together, and only a few escaped.  For an hour and a half he walked around the island hunting down those still alive. He opened tents and shot in them, and methodically mowed down anyone in his way.  Youth and young adults were jumping in the water to try to get to away.  The shooter shot most youth twice, the second time in the head with a shotgun to make sure they were dead.  Norway is usually peaceful, and this heinous crime is the worst event since world war 2.  They have arrested a suspect, 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik who they believe is responsible for both acts of home grown terror.  Police arrested him without resistance, and he said his shooting spree was "atrocious but necessary."  His manifesto was almost word for word from the unibomber's manifesto.

In Yosemite National Park in the USA, three young adult male Christians were beyond the guardrail and warning signs, taking pictures, about 25 feet from the waterfall's edge.  The first young adult lost his footing, and the second tried to help, but was swept in also.  The third man tried to help the second, and was then pulled into the waters.  They fell to their death as they went over the 317 ft. Vernall waterfall. 

  

Jake Bibee, a witness, told reporters: “Everyone was screaming. People were praying. What I will take away with me forever is the look on that grown man’s face as he was floating down that river knowing he was going to die and nobody could help them.”  Source the Christian Post.

  Their families and friends are in our prayers.  John 14:18, 27 says, "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."  God is still in control, and someday, evil will end in the name of Jesus, in His power and for His glory!!!!!!!  Jesus is coming soon, and then all those who have died knowing Jesus will be resurrected young and healthy forever and will live with Jesus.  Praise God!  This is the blessed hope!

  My next blog will talk about why bad things happen.  We will start to unpack why there is evil in this world, and what God is doing and will do about it.  Stay tuned...

I dedicate this blog to Wendy Johnson, my cousin, who recently lost her 47 yr. old husband, and is going through grief of her own. She is one of the sweetest people I know, and I love her very much:-)  I pray God heals all those who have lost loved ones, all those who are broken hearted from failed relationships, all those who are lonely, and all those who are abused.   Psalm 147:3 says, "he heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds."  That promise will be fully realized when we get to heaven.  Revelation 21:4 says, "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

God's Freedom-Federal Reserve-Possible Takeover of Private Seller Financing

To all my friends around this planet,

  http://papersourceonline.com/2786/red-alert-seller-mortgages-may-be-outlawed-you-must-act-now/

  If you're from the United States of America, Follow the link above if you believe private seller financing is important!!   Call your senators and let them know your stand on this new regulation that may be imposed on the American people.

  God created every human to have freedom of choice.  God's government operates on the principle of freedom of choice.  Love never forces, but offers freedom to choose.  If a choice is forced, it does not come from the heart, and doesn't change the will.  Only a loving God could set up a country such as America, and give her free choice. 

  There are many enemies of America without and within.  We must be EVER VIGILANT for there are those who would pose as friends who are wolves in sheeps' clothing. In the Bible, this is what happened to Nehemiah, (read Nehemiah 4), as he was rebuilding Jerusalem.  People would pose as his friend, but were trying to overthrow his plans.  They were not successful because Nehemiah was listening to God, and knew who was his enemy.   

  Wake up America, and stand for freedom!  Some are willing to give up freedom for security, but there is NO SECURITY WITHOUT FREEDOM!!!!!!!  Of course, the ultimate freedom and security is in Jesus now, and will be especially so when Jesus comes to take us to heaven!  

  When Lucifer was a cherubim(defender) in heaven, his job was to protect or defend the law of God which was below the mercy seat of God in heaven, in the Ark of the Covenant. He decided against freedom, and sinful chaos was the result.  WE THE PEOPLE are to defend first the law of God and then the freedoms of America, the great laws of this land, but most of all freedom in Jesus Christ!  If we fail, chaos is the result.

  God bless you and God bless America!

Skydiver Survives 15,000 Foot plunge-video footage

To all of my friends around this planet,

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.   Skydiver Michael Holmes plunged 15,000 feet, hurtling to the ground when his main parachutes failed to open.  He, by a miracle of God, survived the 15,000 ft. free fall and landed in a blackberry bush!  He had a broken ankle, and is still sky diving!  God has something special for Michael to do!!!!!!!  No one survives anything like this without it being an absolute miracle of Creator God!  Because of Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross, we have Divine protection and blessings!  Praise God!!!!!!!

  Psalm 91:9-12 says, "Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation;There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall 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.

  As a blessed author wrote,  "Not until the providences of God are seen in the light of eternity shall we understand what we owe to the care and interposition of His angels. Celestial beings have taken an active part in the affairs of men. They have appeared in garments that shone as the lightning; they have come as men, in the garb of wayfarers. They have accepted the hospitalities of human homes; they acted as guides to benighted travelers. They have thwarted the spoiler's purpose and turned aside the strke of the destroyer.

 

Though the rulers of this world know it not, yet often in their councils angels have been spokesmen. Human eyes have looked upon them. Human ears have listened to their appeals. In the council hall and the court of justice, heavenly messengers have pleaded the cause of the persecuted and oppressed. They have defeated purposes and arrested evils that would have brought wrong and suffering to God's children. To the students in the heavenly school, all this will be unfolded.
Every redeemed one will understand the ministry of angels in his own life. The angel who was his guardian from his earliest moment; the angel who watched his steps, and covered his head in the day of peril; the angel who was with him in the valley of the shadow of death, who marked his resting place, who was the first to greet him in the resurrection morning--what will it be to hold converse with him, and to learn the history of divine interposition in the individual life, of heavenly co-operation in every work for humanity!
With the word of God in his hands, every human being, wherever his lot in life may be cast, may have such companionship as he shall choose. In its pages he may hold converse with the noblest and best of the human race, and may listen to the voice of the Eternal as He speaks with men. As he studies and meditates upon the themes into which "the angels desire to look" (1 Peter 1:12), he may have their companionship.

From Maranatha - Page 315

  It doesn't get any more beautiful than that!

Casey Anthony Release- Heavy Security to Safe House In the Night

To all of my friends around this planet,

  Casey Anthony was released early Sunday morning in the midst of high security as a jeering crowd shouted, "baby killer."  She was taken to a safe house during the night.  Many are angry because they feel she is getting away with murder. Only God knows what really happened, but I will say it is NOT normal for a mother not to report her child missing!
   Her lawyer may try to get plastic surgery for her, to change her appearance for safety reasons.  Cindy Anthony and her husband have had threats.
  Only a loving God can change Casey Anthony's heart.  If Casey Anthony did indeed kill her little girl, God knows, and He would forgive if she would ask.  She is in a prison of her own making, even if she's not behind bars. 

  Lawmakers want to institute Caylee's law which would make it a crime for a parent not to report their child missing withing 24 hours. 

  Little Caylee will be resurrected when Jesus comes, and will fly through the air to meet Jesus and live with Him in heaven:-)  1Thessalonians 4:15-18 says, "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. There is a better world that God has planned for you, I and little Caylee!  We will get to meet Caylee there, Praise God!

Fandango-Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

To all of my friends around this planet,
   As Carol Meyer's said, "

  Online ticketer Fandango.com announced Thursday that it had sold more tickets to midnight screenings of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" than to any other midnight movie in its history. That includes "The Dark Knight" and the "Twilight" films.

    To be completely honest, I am so concerned about this series because it has caused many, especially youth, to become fascinated with the occult.  It has been proven that when kids go to buy a Harry Potter book, many times they will also purchase a book on witchcraft.

  The Harry Potter series has no part in the battle between good and evil or the gospel of Jesus Christ.  If the supposedly "good" characters in the series lie, steal or kill, they don't even give it a second thought.  This is teaching youth or anyone for that matter, that it's okay to hurt those around you, that you don't have to obey God or parents, so not to worry about it.  It is sending dangerous signals for a society on the precipice.

  Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says, "There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.For all that do these things [are] an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee."

  Revelation 18:23 says, "And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived." This is a picture of the last days of this earth's history when occultism would be rampant. 

  The word sorcery comes from the root word pharmakeia which means to medicate or administer drugs, or to poison.  Minds are being medicated, lulled into deep sleep and darkness, unaware that the there is a Creator God Almighty, mighty to save, who loves them deeply.  They are unaware that His judgements are coming upon the earth, and His Son Jesus who died to save them, will soon split the sky to deliver those who have chosen Him.  I know in my own life, if my Bible, God's Holy Word becomes dusty, my heart becomes filthy.  I must memorize more scriptures.  As I do so, God changes my heart. 

   Many are committing sorcery and don't even know it, because they are allowing their minds to be consumed by media, which is in large part controlled by the enemy of our souls.  Hearts are opening to darkness at an unprecedented rate!  So many crave love, not realizing it is God who loves them perfectly.  Oh, how we need a spiritual, Holy Spirit revival and reformation in this land!  God, thank You for Your mercy to us, and let true spiritual revival take place in me, and this world!  I pray for the person reading this right now that you will bless them, and help them to understand your love for them, and give them power to surrender whatever it is that's holding them back from you.  Capture our hearts, Lord, and let all of us to be ready when Jesus comes!  I thank You and praise You, in Jesus' name, amen.

   Please wake up to the God who IS love, before it is too late... You have not gone too far for God to reach you.  Give your heart to Jesus, and let Him change your heart.  He's willing, are you?  You may feel pulled to darkness, but Jesus can change all of that if you ask! Ephesians 5:11 says, "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them]."  Colossians 1:13 says,

"Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son:"  The Bible says in

  Matthew 19:26, "With God ALL things are possible."  A Harry Potter movie can do absolutely nothing for you.  It can't give YOU peace, love strength, hope, eternal life, forgiveness, and freedom.  Harry Potter can't solve your marital problems, career problems, he can't heal broken hearts, can't solve your financial problems, can't take your pain, can't heal your grief, can't give health, can't promise heaven and can't create life.  You need God for that, and He can do so much more if you ASK!  God is so good and wants to bless YOU inYOUR life.  He can give YOU everything YOU need!!!!!!!

  In a soon to be posted blog I will have Part 1 of Law & War, studying the war in heaven over God's law, and how it has come to earth!.  I will also share God's calling on my life very soon:-)

  God bless you, and my prayers are with you.  God B in U & through U,       Joy J

Footage of Monster duststorm, Haboob In Arizona, July 5, 2011!

There was a colossal dust storm or haboob yesterday evening in Arizona!  It was a towering wall of dust and sand at a height of over 10,000ft., speeding it's way at 60 mph through parts of Arizona, covering everything in it's path! It was about 50 miles wide in one area.  It would play with the mind a little to see that thing coming!

  It reminds me of what sin does to our hearts.  It comes in like a duststorm, and clouds our view of God.  It chokes our relationship with Jesus.  It makes us feel dirty inside.  Like a giant sandblaster, sin etches new scars on our hearts.  Jesus says in Micah 7:19, "He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea."  No matter what you've done, Jesus loves you and will forgive you, if you ask!  He voluntarily gets rid of your sins, and accepts you as His.  He  miraculously changes your heart!  Come to him right now and give Him your whole heart and life.  Ask Him to be your Saviour and Lord of your life!    

  What are you facing today?  Is it financial problems, divorce, problems with your kids, illness, grief, persecution, hunger?  Whatever storm you're facing, Jesus has been there and sees through it!  Your circumstances have not caught Jesus by surprise!  Hold His hand, and let Him walk you through safely:-)

  God B in U & through U,       Joy J:-)

      

Declaration of Independence-Day Explained! 4th of July!

To all of my friends around this planet,

  In America, we are celebrating Independence weekend, the 4th of July!   OHMY FREEDOM!  I praise God for it!!!  I pray for all the oppressed around this planet!  Please only buy American made American flags!!!!!!! 

  The Declaration of Independence is one of the two most famous documents in American history. It was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. It announced the separation of the thirteen American colonies from the tyranny of the British Empire.  The Declaration of Indepencence was signed by 56 men beginning on July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia's Independence Hall.

 

  In the opening sentence of the second paragraph, the famous words are written,"“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”  What an awesome gift from our Creator God!  One nation under God!  Ronald Reagan said, "if we ever come to the point that we're not one nation under God, we will be a nation gone under."

  Right now, our basic freedoms are being attacked from without and within.  The greatest threat is from within, and we MUST stand up for our God given rights!  If you won't stand for freedom, then you don't appreciate it...  Tell me, what country will the oppressed seek citizenship in if they cannot gain freedom here?  There is no other country! Please DON'T take your God given freedoms for granted!  WAKE UP AMERICA, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!  If you don't understand the truth about history, you are much more likely to repeat it! The Constitution of the United States of America must be upheld, and, after the 10 commandments, they being number one, written by the finger of God, it is the greatest document ever penned!  The U.S. Constitution was written to protect us from government tyranny.  God set up this nation, and He is in control! Go to the Heritage link, top right, for a free copy of the U.S. Constitution. 
  I'm so grateful for all those who have given their lives, and those who are standing for our freedoms every day.  The families of all who have served and are serving are especially deserving of our gratitude also.  God bless you!

  Many are willing to give up freedoms for security, but I say THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SECURITY WITHOUT FREEDOM!  Love always gives free choice, tyranny doesn't.  God's universe is secure because He gives freedom of choice!  I am so thankful for the freedoms in this country that so many around the world long for, and am so proud to be an American, but true freedom comes from knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour!  Give your heart to Him today, if you haven't, because He loves you.  Ephesians 4:8 says, "Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men."  No matter what happens in America or around this planet, Jesus gives true freedom as He delivers us from bondage!  He will take your bondage into captivity!  Paul wrote in Hebrews 11:16, "But now they desire a better [country], that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city."  Praise God! Jesus is coming soon, then all worldly kingdoms will fall.  If you know Jesus, you will then be truly free!

  God bless you and God bless America!  Pray for America!
