Ted Pike - The Other Israel

Someday, as in the days of Joshua and Nehemiah, Israel will give God the obedience He demands. Until then, the land will flow with blood. The Time of Jacob's Trouble is coming. The Day of the Lord, the Day of Wrath, is coming. http://www.gotquestions.org/day-of-the-Lord.html

Jeremiah 30:7
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
Matthew 24:22
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Matthew 24:21-23 (in Context) Matthew 24 (Whole Chapter)
Mark 13:20
And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Mark 13:19-21 (in Context) Mark 13 (Whole Chapter)
It is important to know the Messiah and what He expects, to seek His salvation and not provoke His wrath. Who He is, that is the question at the root of all the controversy. http://realmessiah.com/Home.html
Zephaniah 1
¹⁴The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
¹⁵That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
¹⁶A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
¹⁷And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
¹⁸Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
God plans a purging, a cleansing, but read the end of the story. It does have a happy ending.
Revelation 19
¹¹And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
¹²His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

¹³And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

¹⁴And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

¹⁵And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

¹⁶And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

¹⁷And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

¹⁸That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

¹⁹And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

²⁰And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

²¹And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Revelation 20

¹And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
²And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
³And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
⁴And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
⁵But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
⁶Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
A thousand years: a millennium of peace. This is a happy future to look forward to. http://www.gotquestions.org/millennium.html

Peace and Hope

Sun, 07 Jun 2009 02:51:43 GMT

Hope is really rooted in personally knowing the God committed to a good end for you, even if it sometimes seems nobody else is. He has given me this promise: (It makes all my hard work and waiting worth it all!)

Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version)

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 31:17
And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
Jeremiah 17:7
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

1 Peter 1:13
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Revelation 22:12
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Psalm 31:24
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

Lamentations 3:26
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

2 Thessalonians 2:16
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

To Move or Not to Move

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 23:36:35 GMT

It is a good idea to be ready for change when what you are doing is not really working, but then, who defines what is working? There are several considerations, and those chosen as top priorities may require a sacrifice to keep them at the top of the list. Family is a top consideration for me, and to be near my children, I have been choosing until now, NOT to move. I think I will stay here by default until I am forced to move, or until I find an open door and path to a new place God may show me--- the idea being to increase my income and reduce my cost of living so that I can get out of debt and, in the long run, be free to REALLY spend time with my family like I do not really get to do NOW.

I am sort of looking around, but what holds me to this place is the familiarity and comfort of my hometown (despite the hardships), the fact of my family living here and my having gotten well adjusted in two part time jobs, working sixty to seventy hours per week, not such an easy thing to do. Any change is stressful, even if it is a good change, and I like to be sure it is for a good reason, most importantly that God has called me to move. It is hard to hear His voice calling me to any place where my children are NOT, but it could happen. I formerly turned down a nanny job out east that offered me a live in position, as much money as I make from both of my jobs plus room and board. If I had taken it, I might have saved over $100,000 already, but I would have missed some special moments in the lives of my children.

Sometimes I think maybe He has called me to move, at least to a heated room for rent, cheap, or a heated garage where I can park my van and sleep in it, because if He wanted me to stay here, why would He not supply the means to be a good steward of this house? It is only a tiny, one bedroom house, but it needs renovation before the insurance company or the bank will look at it, the roof leaks, the siding and roof and garage door need to be replaced, and the contract for deed balloons next spring. Before I can take on such a project, I surely need to pay off my debts and rebuild my FICO score, or the bank will not be interested at all. That is the question looming big in the back of my mind: should I take on such a project, just me, all alone, in a desperate attempt to get stabilized back into equity and be near my children? Hmmm...

Perhaps, like so many others I have heard the stories about, I could embrace the spirit of adventure in overcoming adversity and be willing to sleep in my van and take my showers at a local gym or health club, so that everything I earn can go to paying off my debts? I have been considering it, and it is very tempting, to get out from under the heavy burden I am bearing for no apparent purpose except to make other people richer and me poorer. The Bible says to owe nobody anything except love, and that is what I am hearing from everyone in my personal circles, too.

At the moment, it seems that one of the main things people want from me is MONEY. Money for personal loan repayments, student loans, mortgage payments, insurance, credit card payments, and anything at all that I need to do, so I found out, while it is not good to love MONEY, it sure does come in handy as a tool with which to love PEOPLE. They understand love and kindness by my willingness to cheerfully and generously hand over money without complaint, I have noticed. There are those, few and far between, who like me for myself and do not want my money, and I very much appreciate them. But my time is sold out to earn money for those that want money from me. I want to make this process as short and quick and painless as possible, just because I have other things to do besides work, work, work to earn as much money as it will take to get out of debt and be self supporting by forced retirement age.

I cannot BOTH keep this house (renovate and refinance it) AND pay off all my debts, along with just starting out to learn how to be a businesswoman; it takes time and money to make money, and it takes much more than I have right now to renovate an old house, rebuild a smashed FICO score, and talk a bank into taking on a contract they have indicated they do not want to take on.

Which means I may well have to move, and I am looking. At this point, that is all I know. I have been seriously investigating just how it is that homeless people get by.

Doing Hard Things

Tue, 26 May 2009 00:58:16 GMT

There is a book challenging young people to raise the standard higher. It is called, "Do Hard Things." I was raised to do the hard things. I am doing a hard thing right now, staying single until death do us part while my unfaithful husband looks around for a relationship to fill that hole inside that only God can fill. I am praying for Him, not because I long to have him back, only because I long for Him to know the true God and have that empty hole inside of Him filled so he can be content in his true, God given calling.

From my perspective, the spirit of the times has eroded knowledge of God and replaced it with the sort of knowledge that the scripture calls "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." 2 Timothy 3:7

These are the last days in which "many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Daniel 12:4

But to this day, even now, the scoffers of 2 Peter 3:3 ("Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts," saying "Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.") may only scoff until they face God in person, and at that time they will bow the knee and call Him Lord of Lords.

Jesus said He is the Truth. He was, is, and always will be the main truth I need to know. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.John 14:5-7

There are so many hard things in life. God allows them, but He uses them to test and mold His people into His image. I know His Spirit in me is infinitely more valuable than temporal comforts. This is knowledge not many people have these days, but once they have it in their hearts, they become part of the body of Christ ministering the only real hope there is to this dark world. I think of that calling every day as I struggle against affliction and weakness. I comfort myself with His promises. He has not forgotten me. I can sense Him watching me, walking with me in my troubles.

He is helping me, moment by moment, to be adequate and fully equipped for what He wants me to do on this earth. I have a calling, and He is the One who called me. I have a calling to do the hard things when the going gets tough. Without hope of His reward, I might not do the hard things. His is the reward worth it all. Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.Ephesians 2:9-11 Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus

Transition to Home Business with Outsourcing...

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 16:20:04 GMT

Have you seen the video from Steve and Debbie Turner? I can see myself in a video just like that, only minus the husband, because mine took off some years ago, when my children were ages newborn (actually, not born yet) through 14. I can really identify with Debbie Turner in the video at this link:

http://outsourcesecretsrevealed.com/blog/brilliant-outsourcing-case-study-with-steve-and-debbie-turner.htm

See more outstanding testimonies at http://vur.me/s/OSRLiveVideo

Things are somewhat up in the air, or in process, or in some other unsettled, transitional state at this season of my life. I simply could not go on working like I was. The job neither paid all my bills, nor allowed me to get another job with all I had to do besides, nor allowed me to outsource my primary goals if I sold all the rest of my time to the people using me as their "outsource" (their employee, doing what they would not or could not do for their own business). The state of the economy is not going to control me anymore if I can help it, and I believe I can take responsibility for what happens to me, even if that means finding new people to work for --or new people to work for me, which I prefer, after trying both.

Well, if I could have made it, doing such hard work for such low wages, and managed to pay all my bills, I might still be at that job. But it so happens that I could not make it by staying there, and it felt like a box with a ceiling but NO FLOOR, no security. I think it is a blessing in disguise that I finally became so fed up with it all, I turned in my two week notice. It has first of all, allowed me to refresh my mind and clear my head about my future. Second, it has freed up my time to study the possibilities of what I can do and what I must outsource or hire done. And third, I have had time now to list all the people who can help me with what I cannot do for myself, and also to list means to decrease my expenses and increase my income enough to afford that outsourcing. I was going crazy, or so I thought, but it led me to my first moments of sanity in a long, long time.

I love this song for its message, and if you do not like the style, that is too bad, because these guys really do a great job with it in this video: (The message is about what happens if nobody does what must be done, which is what I am thinking about these days. There is so much that MUST be done, and yet, who will do it? So lighten up, listen to the message, and then on with my plan to do my part and let God show me who else will be involved.)

"Everybody Said (But Nobody Did)" Sung by Acappella

The book I am reading, called "Why We Want You To Be Rich..." (Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki) explains the importance of taking responsibility for PERSONAL financial intelligence and application, so that there is not this situation I am in right NOW---only without the way to get out and make things better for everyone. People may think there will be a church or government or someone to take care of them, and it just is not so for me. Not for lack of looking everyplace, but when you go that route, you give up your goals, dreams, and freedoms to people who expect a lot in return for what they give, and hardly anyone gives truly FREELY, as unto the LORD; what they do give is full of hooks and controls to get you to please them in return. I just knew I could not live inside of that little manmade box, and that is not the subject of this post. Bottom line is, you have to know what God has called YOU to do, and it may or may not involve pleasing certain men.

I am alone in terms of local help, but with God of course, and that makes a majority because of the tools and ideas He sends my way to educate myself on what I need to do --and to learn where I need to go to get up enough cash flow to be able to outsource and ---well, you know, everything a true entrepreneur does. I love learning everything to do with being an entrepreneur, but it is long and slow when I have no money to invest, and I know outsourcing is going to be a critical component in my ability to get going with the business plan before me.

The schools generally do not teach this skill of launching your own business like a true entrepreneur who values freedom, but if you have learned it, you likely learned it from a true entrepreneur, someone like Robert Kiyosaki's uneducated "Rich Dad." And I doubt they learned their most important lessons in school or college, but if there is such a course, please let me know. I am taking a business course online in Axia college, with an emphasis on Internet marketing, but I think I am going to learn far more from my other mentors online who are already successful. They simplify the skills and make them practical. Invariably, the most successful people I have met so far have learned the skills to own their own business without giving up their life and all their time, not in school, in the best place to learn it; a mentoring relationship with people who have done it themselves and are successful. Success leaves footprints.

Thank God, He is showing me those "success footprints" and helping me see where I have God given abilities to follow in those footsteps. If you look at the skill sets involved, find you do not have what it takes to learn them, and you want to get someone else to do some things for you, be ready to invest in outsourcing.

That is the expense that I would most likely be willing to make a huge and desperate sacrifice to save up for, to drastically reduce expenses and increase income by, for example, (letting my house go into foreclosure if I could not afford both it and the investment, and) going to be a nanny where I would get paid twice as much as my former job paid, be separated from my family for an extended season, and have essentially NO overhead. (I could do that if I needed to, as a last resort, just to afford the outsourcing I would need to have certain aspects of my business set up for me.)

If that sacrifice resulted in freedom after three or four years, yes, my sons would be 18 and 20 instead of 14 and 16 by then, and it is a crying shame to think of leaving them for that long, but that is just what might have to happen if I do NOT make this work to get a significant stream of income set up online right NOW, without undue expense beyond what I can afford. In fact, that is what I am working on, setting up income streams online. I did spend my tax return on some outsourcing, all that I could afford at the time, and that may result in enough of an income stream or two that I will not have to leave my family and walk away from my house to go be a nanny.

It is a crying shame that this town is that depressed, economically, and even social welfare does not allow a person any exit plan to get OFF of it, not really, neither to start a business NOR find a local job that really IS enough to NOT NEED that system (without going back to school for several years). Anyway, I have been desperate enough to try to get on it from time to time, and have found that I cannot get ON it in the first place. See, the government is not going to take care of everyone, and I do not want to depend on it, because it is NOT dependable.

So, rather than go begging to either the government or the church, I have chosen to go for setting up a business online and learn all I can about setting up streams of income by using experienced, quality outsourcing.

I think it is worth all the sacrifices necessary to get something going that will free me from slavery to others and to situations where I cannot be with my children more than a few times a year, if that. Now, I do love all children, and yes, they do have a special place in my heart ,and I am very good with them. I could continue with my college education online whenever I was not taking care of someone else's children, but hey, how much BETTER to be FREE and not get into such a situation at all.

The Bible teaches us to bear our own burdens and, if we can, help bear the burdens of others, too. This is also what Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki would say. See, they agree with God. Take a clue from my life, and think ahead to the trouble that could come for you or a loved one if you were not prepared to take responsibility for your own support in a crisis.

Galatians 6:5
For every man shall bear his own burden.
Galatians 6:4-6 (in Context) Galatians 6 (Whole Chapter) (KJV)
Proverbs 22: 3 A prudent man sees the evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished [with suffering]. (Amplified)
Proverbs 22: 4 The reward of humility and the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.
Romans 12:8
if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
Romans 12:7-9 (in Context) Romans 12 (Whole Chapter)
Ephesians 4:28
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Ephesians 4:27-29 (in Context) Ephesians 4 (Whole Chapter)
Matthew 25:14 (KJV) For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

See, for me it is a matter of what the Lord has given me in the way of abilities and talents, and what I am able to learn and invest, and not depending on people who do not have the talents or inclination to support me like I need to support myself. This is making more sense to me every day, and I have a heart for women who are not prepared for this due to some tragedy. It is hard enough to suddenly find yourself without your helpmate or partner, but if you are not ready for it, God help you! That is what I am looking for Him to do with me right now. Thank God He is there, and yes, He will help, but it is not an easy road at all. It could be a lot better, and it will be, with time and patience. I will have quite a story to tell when I get to the final chapter.

I can really identify with Debbie Turner, the part about being so frustrated, on the computer most of the day and not able to be with family, but I think God may turn this around, and as Jeff says at the end of the video, he loves being an answer to people's prayers. I have my part to do, too, which is to write articles or get someone to do it, but the rest, I have outsourced --and I told Jeff, you ARE an answer to my prayers! He is! I have HOPE, because I have a place to submit my articles and have THEM do the rest of the marketing for me. Wow.

Time to Refresh and Re-Evaluate

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 13:30:06 GMT

All winter I have worked so hard, even overtime, and I never got sick at all while caring for all these old folks who get the flu. Then I started with online college and doing things I do not usuallly get to do, such as planning a trip for a special occasion, and that did me in. I found out that when you commit to things like a job or a college course, expectations are high and flexibility is low, and those who think they rule over you do not really have what is best for you in their mind at all. I am weary of pleasing men, although I do make a very good slave, both as a student and as a worker. The people in both places love me. But now I am looking hard at this verse:

1 Cor. 7:21 If you were a slave when God called you, do not let that trouble you. But if there is some way for you to get free, then do so. (Worldwide English (New Testament)

Working for someone else is like slavery, even if you enjoy it or do not mind it. You have to obey your boss or else. The same is true in college, doing the assignments to please the instructors. Some are easier to please than others. They teach you to work for someone else and acquire knowledge, but not so much how to use the knowledge in very practical ways, or how to own your own business and hire others to work for you. I tend to agree with Robert Toru Kiyosaki (born April 8 , 1947 ) ... an investor , businessman , self-help author and motivational speaker . Kiyosaki is best known for his Rich Dad, Poor Dad--which showed me more how to be free, and how to get out of this slavery to others. Sometimes we have to clear our heads and find out what is really the best use of our time.

I felt trapped in my job for a long time, and I was getting exhausted. Yesterday, St. Patrick's Day, I turned in my two week notice. I do not think I will finish college, either. I am ready to do what I am passionate about, which is writing, on the Internet. I have joined a team of people who know how to make a living doing this, and they are teaching me what you cannot learn in college. If I focus on just this and my relationships, that will be enough. Today I am taking a day off to refresh my spirit, too. I am going down to cash in my IRA, and then I am going to learn from people like Loral http://www.revkarenrusso.com/links.html and Don Duncan, how to invest my money wisely. http://wealthfoundation.com/lol/index.asp http://www.liveoutloud.com/

I have to free myself to be able to devote myself to the relationships I care about, including the Lord, my children, and those who can really teach me to be my very best self. I know where my passions and interests lie, and I just need to be wiser about what I commit myself to do. What I really want to do with my life can get lost in the over-commitments I find myself trapped in, so now, one at a time, I am taking time to seriously evaluate each one to see if it is really a good return on my investment of time. Perhaps in a few more years I will be old enough to take a class or two at the local university for free, just because I want to, or maybe I still will not find that more useful than learning from people online and at events around the world where Internet Marketers network and learn the principles of effective entrepreneurship.

How much would someone have to pay you in order for you to give up the computer for 1 year?

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 22:30:25 GMT

Since I intend to make my living online, writing and promoting things that help others there, I could not think of giving up the computer for a year unless someone did this work online, professionally, on my behalf, or gave me enough to live on some other way, some way that would keep me free from going back to my job in the future. I would want to use the time to study the latest skills that would help me there when I returned, too. However, the lost time is worth more than merely one year of wages from a job, because the viral momentum would be lost in terms of list building, business exposure and leveraged income.
