Hi Friends,
I was reminded again today, that some of my friends are in worse shape than I am, and that fact humbles me, but also hurts me --- that good people/ Christians are suffering too right here in the USA, and daily pray/ hope for the Rapture -- that will end their daily suffering here on Earth. Father, please bless them as you have also blessed me. But as I was explaining all of this to Steve Gartland, R.N. @ the VAMC this morning [as he was changing the bandage on my leg-- twice a week], that everyone is fighting not only against the devil, Satan, but also against their own heart's wrongful desires, temptations, and feelings of INDEPENDENCE [such as Women's Lib !], and head strong PRIDE ! We were born with sin that goes all the way back to Adam and Eve in the garden, and so we must ALL continue to wrestle with our own flesh. I have admitted this to you all many times.... that I am a very imperfect SINNER MAN ! But all of us real, true Christian can and will catch the 'Last Jet out of this corrupt, sinful, violent world of Satan !'
But what will we do when we lose the Inter Net of brotherly communication, help, advice, reaching out in a spirit of love and kindness ?? So now do you see [understand] why we must dig deep and study, yes--- memorize the words of the KJV Bible, now ! Our American infrastructure could collapse at any time, by a number of different means ! Have we been "Prepping" for all sorts of collapses that the goofball in the WH, and complacent/ consenting Congress are planning, as regards the NWO, while 'feathering their own nest's ??' Nothing is new under the sun.
Hebrews 11: 1, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." For people like me, who have already 'tasted' all the proof and good things provided by the HOLY SPIRIT, from our benevolent Father in heaven, we are "Sealed" in that number, and promised eternal life in heaven. But for many others, even those who attend some church regularly, they just don't have that Faith ! And if so, they may be lost, and 'Left Behind.' Those are also the ones who frequently murmur all the time and complain. Beware of them.

Why Do We Still Sin?
Q. If we are to walk in the spirit so as not to sin, why do we still fall prey to sin? I try hard not to sin but I find that I keep slipping up, letting temptation get the better of me. I’m afraid God will just give up on me. What can I do?
A. As long as we live in this world we won’t be able to completely stop sinning. Our sin nature prevents it. 1 John 1:8 says “If we claim to be without sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” Christians who claim they no longer sin are deceiving themselves.
Paul described it this way. He said, “I know that no good thing lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing (Romans 7:18-19).
But God is able to separate the sin from the sinner (Romans 7:20). He is able to do this because by His once-for-all-time sacrifice for sin Jesus has made perfect forever we who are being made holy (Hebrews 10:12-14).
So if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9) and He will never give up on us. He is the Good Shepherd and we are the sheep of His pasture, and He promised never to lose any of us (John 6:39).
He said, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one” (John 10:27-30).
When He said, “No one”, He meant no one, not even you.

As first exposed by the Wall Street Journal, the Department of Justice and bank regulators are unconstitutionally pressuring banks to refuse banking services to perfectly legal industries, under the guise that they pose a “reputation risk” to the bank. Not surprisingly, two of the main industries targeted by this illegal program just happen to be two of the biggest threats to the federal government: guns and gold. That’s right, the federal government is actively trying to choke sellers of guns & precious metals out of the financial industry. The government’s stunning objective with such an operation: to cut off American citizens from access to guns & gold completely. So if you’ve been waiting for the opportunity to defend your savings & retirement from government overreach, you better act soon.
