What can I do ?

Hi Gentleman and dear Ladies:
    This great post/ article says what I have been saying for MANY YEARS!  Some years back I made a nice easel out of Oak wood of which my large print KJV Bible sits on my Computer desk all the time.   I use it for reference, and just plain reading and study.  I also have many more bibles in house, and have given many away for free...   as the Lord has blessed me many times... PTL.   Preaching the Gospel of Salvation is my main thrust and reason for living at this point in my life,  but I have been doing this also for many years.   I am "Still in the Army" -- except now I am in Christ's Army.  Time to work for the "winning team" this time, and not serve men ! !

I tell every one that I do vote for the best candidate that I feel will obey the U.S.
Constitution and do best for our Freedom and Liberties ....  but that said,  we should all know that the devil have perhaps 95% of the world under his thumb !  The Scriptures plainly say that ALL GOVERNMENTS will oppose the Christ and follow the Beast in Revelation.  Read Rev. Chapters 17 thru 21, and you will agree with me.     I guarantee that no Catholic priest will be able to tell you what that book means or says!  That's also true with many other so-called Christian religions that those leaders of the churches will suffer worse than the flocks inside the churches.   Many church members who attend regularly will be "Left Behind" too,  because they trust NOT Jesus, and the KJV Bible,  but still think that supporting a new, "more worthy" head of State is the way to go.    I have posted so much about Gov't corruption, dear friends.    I will obey God vs:  Men.   I suppose that FEMA already has my number, so they won't have to search hard to find me.... and I am disabled and cannot run that far.

I am NOT, and never claimed to be some hero....  but just a good Soldier who knows how to take orders and do his J.O.B.  
 
Revelation, Chapter 17: verse 1 b, says:  "Come hither, I will shew [show] unto thee [you] the judgement of the great whore that sitteth  upon many waters.  2.  With whom  the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication."    And then Rev. 18:4 says:  "Come out of her my people, that ye may not be partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."   This means,  that if we are still, in any way supporting a church teaching false religion, we ought to GET OUT NOW.   Does your church encourage you to bring your own bible and tell you to look up certain parts to read it for yourselves ???  Red flag, if they don't !   Do they in any way support a candidate who is Pro-abortion?  Another red flag !
   But what I am really saying is:  If you don't personally know your bible well,  how in the heck can you discern a good pastor from a false teacher ???  Just do it, now !  Please. 
   And continue to pray for me, too.
Thanks.

The Daily Jot

Daily reporting and analysis of current events from a biblical and prophetic persp ective.  

 

NOTE: When writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.     Friday, February 27, 2015  What can I do? People are writing me saying that they write letters, call elected officials, attend town hall meetings, send emails, faxes and texts, but nobody is listening. Our elected officials do not receive the advice of those who elected them. So the feeling out there is helplessness. Nothing works. Nobody listens. This is true. These elected officials for the most part care about getting elected and keeping there power. Many are frustrated, even angry when folks like me say they must act. First, what can you do? You can pray, and if that's all you can do, then pray like you have never done before. If you can do more, let's get on it. But, we need to stop seeking political solutions, a political messiah if you will, to a spiritual problem. As I see it, we are commanded by Christ to make disciples and preach the good news to all creatures around the world. This doesn't mean going to a great rally, getting people all emotional, getting people saved, and then leaving them on their own to figure out their salvation. We must be willing to coach people, hold them accountable, have relationships. This is difficult. It puts us out of our comfort zone. We have to know more about the Word of God than what we have heard from the pulpit. We have to get out of what is generally being taught in the church--a self indulgent, emotional and extra-biblical concept of Christ. It is not about us, it is about the Messiah. He died for us, what are we doing for him? Sitting in the pews thinking about what God is going to do for us has disastrous consequences. If we were making disciples, and telling, teaching, exhorting, accounting, contending for the truth, then the nation would not be in this physical bondage and spiritual darkness. Leadership that is antichrist would not be elected. It would not survive the light. We have to ask ourselves the question: Does what we are doing here on earth matter in eternity? For that is what will be judged. What can we do to change the nation? We need to conduct heart to heart combat. Matthew 11:12 says, "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." We cannot make a difference in this world by disconnecting from it. We cannot make a difference in this world by asking what God is going to do for us. He already did it. He sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins that we may have everlasting life. The rest of the story is how we work out our salvation under the commandments of Christ. If we collectively were doing our job, as did our forefathers in the early days of this nation, the leadership of this nation would reflect it. We have to get outside ourselves and be effective at making disciples. But? Here is a "But" for you: But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9)." Make disciples, change the nation.   Have a Blessed and Powerful Day! Bill Wilson www.dailyjot.com PS. Please use the forward link below to pass this on to as many people as

Plastics --- Dangerous

Hey Guys and Gals:
I, for one,  don't like getting sick, if I don't have to !  I have also been to "Old Age Homes" and Re-hab centers that broke my heart, seeing the older folks suffer in poor conditions and almost wish for death.   Humans were made by God to LIVE FOREVER !  The size of our brain tells us that we only use about 1/10th of it before we die....  but that's another true story that must be told some day.
    I will make a conscience effort to cull plastics out of my life, or at least thin them out.  I doubt that the Lord will have plastics in the New Earth Paradise, after Armageddon.

5 Reasons to Kick Plastic Containers Out of Your Life

Posted by Joshua Corn

The great American novelist Normal Mailer once said, “I sometimes think that there is a malign force loose in the universe that is the social equivalent of cancer, and it’s plastic. It infiltrates everything. It’s metastasis. It gets into every single pore of productive life.” You would think this was a recent quote, something he might have said after the green movement became popular. But no – he said this in 1983, before America’s obsession with everything plastic was even close to reaching its peak. What amazing foresight he had.
Plastic has its role in modern society. It’s an essential part of our cars, computers, mobile phones, children’s toys – and practically most everything we use on a day-to-day basis. But there’s one place where plastic has worn out its welcome – and that’s as a container for the food we eat and the water we drink.
The bottom line is that plastic is made from toxic materials. It’s a known fact that these toxins can leach into whatever they come into contact with. And it’s a known fact that when the compounds that make up plastic are ingested, they damage your body on a cellular level and cause health problems.
The pundits will say that the human body can easily handle the “small” amounts (which the government insultingly likes to call “acceptably safe levels”) of toxins that are ingested from plastic. But I find this excuse to be one of the world’s biggest cop-outs. If the human body wasn’t designed to ingest plastic, then no amount is good. Period.
Here are 5 reasons why you should avoid plastic containers:

1. Toxic compounds in plastic can make you really sick.

It’s typical to suffer from a variety of health problems as you age. But is this just “part of getting older”? Or is this perhaps the result of a toxic overload in the body? It’s common knowledge that illness and disorders such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, heart disease, vision impairment and many others health problems are all on the rise. Could this be in some way associated with the increasing amount of plastic in our lives? Plastic food and beverage containers became popular fairly recently (in the 1970s) and have become ubiquitous in our lives since then. More and more research is proving that toxic compounds found in plastic cause health problems ranging from cancer to infertility.

2. There’s no such thing as a safe plastic.

Plastics that contain the super toxic compound bisphenol A (BPA) have been in the news a lot lately. And for this reason, consumers have been duped into thinking that if a product is “BPA-free” it’s perfectly safe. But this is a lie. Lots of companies have caught on to the fact that they can sell more of a product if it’s labeled as “BPA-free.” But guess what? It may be BPA-free, but in its place, these companies are using BPS, a close cousin of BPA that may be equally as toxic! The bottom line is – you can’t 100% trust that any plastic doesn’t contain compounds that are toxic to your body.

3. Plastics can cause fertility and reproductive problems.

The ability to produce a healthy child is a wondrous miracle and an amazing event in one’s life. But toxic compounds found in plastic could be making this difficult, if not impossible, for millions of people. What was once speculation is now becoming fact as more and more research is proving that this is a very real problem. For example, almost all plastics contain toxic chemicals that have a negative effect on immunity and hormone regulation, both of which directly affect fertility. Specifically, BPA has been found to make it more difficult for women to conceive and to cause increased risk of miscarriages. New research is also showing that toxins found in plastic can cause birth defects and developmental problems in children.

4. Chemicals in plastic can make you fat.

There are lots of reasons why nearly two-thirds of American adults are either overweight or obese. But one of them may be the vast amounts of plastics our food and beverages come in contact with. After all, America is the world’s largest consumer of disposable plastic containers. Interesting new research published in Environmental Health Perspectives explains that a chemical widely used in plastics, called bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE), may actually cause stem cells to become fat cells. According to one of the study’s authors, “Exposure to these kinds of chemicals can reprogram your metabolism and make it more likely for you to store calories instead of passing them through.” Have you found that losing weight is next to impossible, despite eating less and exercising more? Perhaps it’s chemicals in plastics that make losing weight harder than it needs to be.

5. Plastics are just terrible for our planet.

Whether you are a hardcore environmentalist or if being “green” is low on your list of priorities, the fact of the matter is that you live on planet Earth, and so will your children and your children’s children. We all have a responsibility to keep the planet has livable as possible. Firstly, plastics are in most cases made from petrochemicals through an energy intensive process that itself creates lots of pollution and toxic discharge. The fact is, every plastic container you use is making the planet less habitable. Also, most plastic in the world is not recycled and usually ends up in landfills, where it degrades very slowly. According to Wikipedia, “Since the 1950s, one billion tons of plastic have been discarded and may persist for hundreds or even thousands of years.”

What Are Your Best Solutions?

Like I said earlier, plastics are a nearly unavoidable part of our everyday lives. But there is a big difference between the plastic on your computer and the plastic that may come into contact with your lunch. You don’t eat your computer. The best solution, which is affordable, convenient and really safe is glass and certain types of metal. Here are some great solutions I’ve found. (I am providing links to Amazon.com for your convenience, but you can find these items at many stores.)

• Break-proof glass water bottles: This glass water bottle has a rubber coating that prevents breakage. It makes water taste amazing! I take mine everywhere I go and it helps me avoid using plastic water bottles.
• Stainless steel straws: My kids don’t use plastic straws anymore, and instead use these stainless steel straws.
• Stainless steel containers: Dump your plastic Tupperware and instead go for stainless steel containers. Glass containers are great too, but most of them still have plastic lids.
• Glass water coolers: If you have a water cooler at your home or office, more and more companies are offering glass containers instead of plastic ones.
• Alternative to non-stick cookware: The coating on your non-stick cookware may be a type of plastic. Instead choose ceramic cookware or enameled cast iron.

Sneaky Sources of BPA

Even if you remove all plastic from your food and water supply, there are still some sneaky ways that highly toxic BPA can find its way into your life. Here are the most common:

• Cash register receipts: This usually shocks most people. But if you handle a receipt with your hands, then eat your food with your hands, BPA is getting in your system. Avoid receipts or wash your hands immediately after touching one.
• The lining of most canned foods. Luckily, we’ve written a buyer’s guide that will help you find the brands that don’t use BPA.
• Some baby bottles and pacifiers
• Many toys and other children’s products
• Some aluminum water bottles (stainless steel is generally safe)
• Canned soda and beer
