Troublesome times are here.

More and more each days we see the signs of the times everywhere. Things are happening that no where in the main stream media we hear about. Any type of media reports would be nice sometimes but what do we expect,when your paid to lie to your own people. I don't mean to blog about Christianity every blog,but what other thing is there to blog about that will take our minds off everyday matters.
To write about the troublesome time is only a warning to those who will listen as we wade through the quagmire of everyday life. Look around us, everywhere we look horrific things are happening, things we, or most of us, thought we would never see. Take for instance at one time no one ever dreamed that the Berlin wall would come down and who would have known that the Soviet Union would be resolved. Ruling dictators have now come and gone only to be replaced with a much wickeder regimes than before. You know we can't talk about what's happening in the world without touching on the things here in the once great United States. We are seeing what other countries have been seeing most of their adult lives. This once mighty country has been declined to a second even closer to a third rate country.
We use to be a country that nations could look up to and depend upon. What are we now nothing more than a laughing stock. Tell me, if we can't even trust our own leadership, who can we trust, who's got our backs? You know the thing we must realize is that the world's conditions won't get any better. The Bible tells us there will be a false prophet and an anti Christ will arise only to make things look rosy for those who will fall for his lies. Yes the Bible does say put your trust in no man, but at the same time it says pray for the leadership and I will because I consider myself a Christian.  I may not be the best but I'm striving to be. It's hard to pray for the leadership of a country when you have to ask yourself what leadership. Yes I use to bash Obama until I realize that Bush and Clinton and many other leaders were no better. Am I bashing America ? ( NO WAY), this is the country I was born and raised in but I do have the right (for now), to gripe and complain. Yet at the same time I see things happening that the Prophets, Apostles and Jesus forewarned us about. No I can not leave Jesus out of a blog.  He is our only hope that every human being will not be annihilated.
Yes sir troublesome times are here, filling men's hearts with fear. Well those who do care. Remember that old movie where Robin Williams says, "Good morning Vietnam"?  Well folks this blog is to tell you "Good morning World".  It's time we awake from this stupor and fog that has blinded our hearts, eyes,and minds for so long. When we went to war in Iraq we opened a can of worms that should have never been opened. Like Vietnam, we got out of that one, but at a cost of thousands of Americans, as well as the enemies deaths.
Yes, look at us now!  Truly troublesome times are truly here. If you listen real close you can hear the lion and bear roaring setting the tone for the Great day of the Lord Almighty. Iraq, Iran, um let's just say it this way, the entire Middle East and the West are in a state of turmoil. I hate having to say this but everyone in America agreed that 9/11 was a wake up call for the American people. But I have to ask! Who's woke up from it ???? Not a soul in our leadership in Washington. The only reason the world as we know it is still here is because the Almighty God lets it be. I know many will say why is He (God) so horrible? He's not He is letting mankind play right into His (God's) hands.There is so much corruption in the world today there really is no safety but in God. The world as a whole is in a state of deep, deep moral decay. America we aren't the only one in this state but we have become the leader of this cesspool we call life. Abortion, homosexuality, same sex marriage and killing, terrorism everywhere. I do have to tip my hat to Putin, for saying that he would nuke Mecca, (over terrorism). He would be the one to do it.
Yes, troublesome times are here. Friends, there is turmoil in the air and believe you me if it hasn't made it to your neck of the woods, just wait it's coming. this may chap a whole lot of peoples hides  and it probably will never take place but then again it may. We are in a time of not only culture wars but spiritual warfare also. We use to see people only talk about Catholics but today we read daily of a cult that the early roman empire created (Islam). Islam is a dangerous subject to start on but let it be said it is the most dangerous of all religions or cults. Enough on that. With all this being said, keep your eyes to the skies for our redeemer draws near. Yep boy howdy troublesome time are here.  
Yes watch the east its all a matter of time.

I ain't quite there yet ( but I will be ) pray for those in need !

Morning all. I would like to take this time to thank all who have prayed for me, and continue to, even when I have ask them not to. I know to those who do pray it sounds selfish. but sorry that just the way I feel. no not selfish, just pray for those who are in need. God is taking care of me as we speak. I sit here at times and wonder what are they praying and asking God to do to me and I can almost answer that question , I'm pretty sure I know what 2 of them are doing. This morning I would like to try and blog about. I ain't quite there yet! ( but I will be )
As some of you that have ever read any of my blogs knows that I suffer from - uni polar another form of being Bi-polar, anxiety, depression, social anxiety disorder and a few other thing I wont mention in this blog because they are different subjects. I myself believe that all of us who suffer from any of these disorders are in as bad of shape, and I believe that they rate right up there as being as bad a  heart attack, strokes, heart disease, high blood pressure and so on and on. Anyone who has never suffered from depression or the others mentioned above has never woke up in the morning too it. As the Lady in the one commercal that say its like I have to wind myself up in the morning, just to get going. Well Folks for all you who have never suffered it before you rag someone who does or put down someone who does. Just watch that person.

Uni-polar,Bi-polar depression, anxiety is not an act. Those who suffer from it has to most days live behind a mask. Making everyone think that everything is going smooth and their in control, When really deep down in side all we really want to do is find a rock most days and hide and never want to come out.
All these different diseases affect people differently, some suffer through mild depression to severe depression. I believe it is easier to treat mild depression than it is severe for the reasons that, those who suffer severe depression hang on to it much longer than those who suffer mildly. I have suffered from all theses  for many years and really never knew what I was going through until I was diagnoses as to having them. I know what some of you are thinking waa waa poor pitiful him. Hey laugh at me that's fine but there are millions of people who suffer the same thing. And there are millions how die every years by not knowing what is going on inside them. Its called suicide. Yes suicide 
In most cases Different Doctors or phsyco Doctor tend to agree and disagree with weather Bi-polar and depression is Hereditary. well humm out of the 10 articles I have read on the subjest, 7 said it is and 3 said it was'nt. Friends finding the right medication's to treat the problems is a guessing game. I have been on several different medications and some help for a while and some either didn't work for me at all or made it even worse. Out of the 3 doctors who said that it wasn't hereditary. said that if those who suffered from the disease's would live a stress free life, eat a complete healthy diet, an get a good nights sleep, 8 to10 hours a night. then. that in some way would take care of most, (Get it most of the problem's. )

I would like to insert a couple of articles into this blog from some other folks who suffer.Even so, when a parent who is bipolar sees the disease manifest itself in a child, statistics don’t seem to matter anymore. It just feels as if the disease is simply hereditary.
Stacey Galka, 38, of Denver, is a single mom who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when she was 26. At that point, her daughter was already 5 years old. Stacey says her own diagnosis was a relief because it helped her to make sense of why her life had always been so chaotic, but when her daughter was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 13, Stacey had trouble accepting it. “In all honesty, if I had known then what I know now, I would have never had a kid,” she says. “It was difficult enough for me to go through what I did."
Is bipolar disorder hereditary? Yes, bipolar disorder runs in families; it is the most genetic major psychiatric condition. It is more genetic than schizophrenia and major depression. If you have a parent or sibling with bipolar disorder, then there is a 10-15% likelihood that you will develop it. If you have a second-degree relative like a grandparent or aunt, then the likelihood is half that amount (5-10%).Bipolar disorder is vastly underdiagnosed. On average, it takes 20 years or until a person is almost 40 years of age, before bipolar disorder is diagnosed. Dr. Ghaemi explains that Bipolar disorder is overlooked for many reasons. Most people have a classic picture of a euphoric person as being manic. However two-thirds of manic episodes are not elated, but an irritable or depressed mood. To complicate matters, half of all people with bipolar disorder have lack of insight, so they do not even realize they are ill.
How does depression present in bipolar patients? Bipolar depression can look different in some ways from unipolar (major) depression. Symptoms that are more common in bipolar patients than in unipolar depression include:
Brief depressions. In bipolar depression, the average length is three to six months, but in unipolar depression it is six to twelve months. Some depressions are only 2 to 3 weeks in length. The shorter the depression, the more likely it is to be bipolar.
Atypical depression. You may sleep more and eat more as opposed to typical depressions where patients sleep less and eat less.
Psychotic depression. You have delusions or paranoid delusions. Or, you hear voices or see things. Psychotic depression is more common in bipolar disorder.
Post partum depression. Compared to unipolar depression, post partum depression is more common in bipolar disorder.
Recurrent depression. The more episodes of depression you have, the more likely you are to be bipolar rather than unipolar. More than 95% of bipolar patients have recurrent episodes, versus unipolar patients, of which only two-thirds have recurrent episodes.
Antidepressant effects. If you've had multiple trials of antidepressants and they don't work, you could have bipolar disorder. If you experience mania or hypomania while on an antidepressant, you usually have bipolar disorder. If you get better on an antidepressant, but then relapse into recurrent depressions, you may have bipolar disorder So see the definitions and diagnoses of the deseases vary from one to another. Friends I ain't quite there yet ( but I will be ) .
Friends as we all do who suffer from these deseases, we have our good days and bad days. And by saying some of the things in this blog, I hope to not offend any. But spend your time praying for those who are in real need. and that most important need is finding Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. And making it not into the Kingdom of heaven as they think their headed. But pray that they make it into The Kingdom of GOD that will be set up upon this earth at GODS appointed time. That is the real need to be praying for. Not selfishly for me.
I would like to thank Stacy in Denver and also Dr Ghaemi for posting their articles for all to read. Thank you two very much.
Til next time Shaloam and pray for the Peace of Jerusalem

With God all went well

Hello again friends, its me again the local Internet menace lol, I hope I'm not known as that. But again I have to give God the glory due Him this day. God gave us the opportunity once more to preach His word. It was great being in God's house once again and being under the annointing, it was glorious. After the shaking calmed down some, having not preaching for almost 9 years, the Holy Spirit did what He does best, Preach, again I have to say Glory to God in the highest.

God gave us the message to preach, "Let us enter his gates". Our text came from Psalms 100:4, let us enter His gates with thanksgiving in our hearts, enter His courts with praise, again I have to say God was and still is awesome. To some preachers, preaching to 45 people isn't such a big thing, but this little church used to have if I heard right close to one hundred and fifty members, then you know how it goes, like any other organization satan slips in and divides and destroys. its been a while since that has happened but only by the grace and mercy of God will this little Church heal and begin to grow again. 45 people ain't all bad in the world we live in today.

God let us begin our message in the book of Ezekiel 37:1-10. where God lead Ezekiel into a valley of dry bones, and in the spirit God shows him heaps of bones. God commanded Ezekiel to prophecy over the bones and as he did so God caused the bones to come to life, oh yes an exceedingly great army. Friends we are living in a time when not only is this world in trouble, but the Church world as we know it is in greater trouble. Jesus talked about a great falling away of the saints in the last days. We've been preached for over 200 years that we are living in the last days, and we would have to say that it is somewhat right, because there were and still are prophesies being fulfilled today. I believe today more than ever from the studying of Gods word and research of Biblical history, Bible scholars, and ancient world history, that the Church world has been deceived into thinking that a secret Rapture will occur, and that people have lost all hope in faith not only in Christianity, but God and His Son Jesus Christ.


I realize that the rapture means { caught away or called up } but where are you going to? heaven ( God forbid ) Friends the only time your going to go to heaven is if you were to die and go to the grave, and your spirit goes back to the Father. Jesus said no man has ascended to heaven to the Father except the one who came from the Father, the Son. Friends, Brothers and Sisters, I glory not in myself, that I preach and tell you the truth and the whole truth but God will require your blood on my hands if i don't tell you the truth. I'm trying to make it onto the 1000 year reign with Christ Jesus and take as many as we can by the Grace of God, on which the second death hath no power. I do not count myself to be a doom and gloom Preacher, God is just, fair, full of mercies upon all that will listen and hear what the spirit says.

There are so many misguided souls out there and my heart and soul cries out for them, My prayer would be and is, that people would once again turn back to God and seek his true word. not something men thought up back in 1824 and was never preached by Jesus or the Apostles. Friends, No where in the Bible (being the only true word of God we have to live by, which has never changed), does Jesus say He was going to rapture his people or church out of here before the great tribulation happens. People tend to preach and teach that even though Jesus himself said I will come as a thief, but He did not mean to mislead Christians he came to save them.

Jesus was only saying to His children TO WATCH AND BE AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON, THAT IT DOESN'T COME UPON UNAWARE, AS A THIEF coming in while no one is watching so will He return. Jesus used two great examples of how the world would be and what shape it would be in when he returned, As the days of Noah were before the flood Matthew 24; 37-39 But as the days of Noah was before the flood, so shall the coming of the Son be, [ 38 ] FOR IN THAT DAY BEFORE THE FLOOD THEY WERE EATING AND DRINKING, MARRYING, AND GIVING IN MARRIAGE,until the day noah entered the ark. [ 39 ] and knew not until the flood came and took it all away, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. we didn't give every verse disputing the theory, But we can.

If anyone can go into the word of God and show me where the theory of the Rapture is and pinpoint the sure word of the theory, I'll eat my Bible, it may take awhile because there's alot of food to eat in the Word of God. I'll even go as far as to say this, I'll put my Bible up against your man's theory and Gods words will never fail. We sorta got off our subject that we preached last night, but the Spirit of God that is within seems to get upset about millions of people being lead astray and mislead. And please dont take my word for it, and don't bother asking your pastor, ask the one who will never lie to you -ask God the Father to reveal the truth to you before its to late, Pleaseeeeeeee I do beg this of you friends,



But as we said we preached last night, on Let us enter his gates with thanksgiving in our hearts, friends, we need Jesus truly more now than ever. Friends, Brothers and Sisters. we need to go to the house were we can worship God in total fullness, with our whole hearts. we need to give him glory and praise ever day of the rest of our lives, before it's to late. so please consider the house of God that He places on your heart, and let the Holy Spirit move you in the worship of the Most High God. Serving God is only a small part of what we can do in return to Him who gave His Only Begotten Son, on a cross on Calvary.


well hope this make sense and will stir your hearts, not only to seek God's true Word, but also return back to Him while we may still find Him, and once you find Him, worship Him in praise and honour



TIL NEXT TIME may God bless you

TRYING TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS

As I sat here tonight and a thought came to me, but first, before I start I must say, MY heading on my blog page says that anything goes which means that anything that comes to my mind I in someway will try and write about it to the best of my ability, at times I may use words that doesn't seem to be to some as appropriate, and The word of God says these very words. James 3:1-2 [1]My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. Friends I have never said in any of my blogs that I am perfect, that I am not. I would like to at this time before I go on, to clarify something, I AM NOT PERFECT ( ELIJAH AND JOB AND CHRIST WERE THE ONLY PERFECT MEN, so if I offend you all in any way, let me know and I will see what I can do about it. I talk about GOD and Christ in a lot of my blogs and to mention some of the words I do, it sometimes gets pretty harsh so I guess what I am saying is I'LL try and clean it up, but I will not be a hypocrite. I PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS EVERYDAY, WHETHER I AM RIGHT OR WRONG. Sometimes I say to much, so bare with me. I will not write from behind a mask either for I am whom I am.

THANKS jessebs

Only in a America, Is not America no more.

Good morning, America

Wow, what other country can you wake up to the sound of freight trains shaking your pictures off the wall, the sounds of sirens and not knowing if its an ambulance, fire truck, or police. You can see the sun coming up greeting another beautiful day. You can see a school bus driver stuck in a traffic jam driving down a freeway in L.A, or drive on IH-35 N. from Texas to Missouri, take a ride on a quiet country road in Idaho. Wow, ain't it great knowing you were born in one of the greatest countries there is. The United States of America. Oh how sweet it is.

Did anyone out there know that this very land our feet stands on, or our head lays on was founded, upon a foundation of Biblical principles and standards? Freedom to worship, freedom of speech, rights to what is yours is yours. That your house is your haven. That your family is your family, your property is your property, your gun, your rifle is yours. And that you as an American citizen have the right to stand up for what is yours? Well America, that's the way it once was, once upon a fairy tale, when American was young. Back when everything was plentiful. Back before men began to forget what the Constitution of the United States stood for. Its a very small but big word, and has only 7 letters. F-R-E-E-D-O-M !

I guess freedom began to fizzle in the early 1800's when one of our very well known fore-fathers, Thomas Jefferson, called the Bible nothing more than dung, and took a pair of scissors to it, but wait he was atheist, along with many of his group of colleagues, and were only thought to be (Christian's) because that's how and what the times were like back then. So have we really never had religious freedom at all? Some would say yes we have, but even more will say no. Thinking briefly about prayer in schools, how many thought that when Madayln Murry O'Hare petitioned the Supreme Court she would win? She did win the case of removing prayer from schools and started the movement of removing God from all places. I guess people must have thought to themselves that it was the beginning of the end. But this wasn't even the first case of Church vs State, lets look you can see for yourselves.

"There is no such source and cause of strife, quarrel, fights, malignant opposition, persecution, and war, and all evil in the state, as religion. Let it once enter our civil affairs, our government would soon be destroyed. Let it once enter our common schools, they would be destroyed."

- Supreme Court of Wisconsin, Weiss v. District Board, March 18, 1890

"Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate."

- Ulysses S. Grant, "The President's Speech at Des Moines" (1875)

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

- First Amendment, Bill of Rights, U.S. Constitution

Thomas Jefferson, author of the sweeping Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom, stating that no citizen "shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever..." and that to "compell a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of [religious] opinions which he disbelieves is sinful and tyrannical."

- President Thomas Jefferson, 1802 letter to the Baptists of Danbury, Connecticut

The Supreme Court Cases Opposing Religious Worship in Schools

McCollum v. Board of Education, 333 U.S. 203, 212 (1948).
Struck down religious instruction in public schools. The case involved school-sponsored religious instruction in which the sole nonreligious student, Jim McCollum, was placed in detention and persecuted by schoolmates in Champaign, Illinois.
Tudor v. Board of Education of Rutherford, 14 J.N. 31 (1953), cert. denied 348 U.S. 816 (1954).
Let stand a lower court ruling that the practice of allowing volunteers to distribute Gideon Bibles at public school was unconstitutional.
Engel v. Vitale, 370 U.S. 421 (1962).
Declared prayers in public school unconstitutional.
Abington Township School District v. Schempp, 374. U.S. 203 (1963).
Declared unconstitutional devotional Bible reading and recitation of the Lord's Prayer in public schools.
Epperson v. Arkansas, 393 U.S., 97, 104 (1968).
Struck down state law forbidding schools to teach the science of evolution.
Stone v. Graham, 449 U.S. 39 (1980).
Declared unconstitutional the posting of the Ten Commandments in classrooms.
Wallace v. Jaffree, 472 U.S. 38, 72 (1985).
Overturned law requiring daily "period of silence not to exceed one minute... for meditation or daily prayer."
Jager v. Douglas County School District, 862 F.2d 824 (11th Cir.), Cert. den. 490 U.S. 1090 (1989).
Let stand a lower court ruling in Georgia that pre-game invocations at high school football games are unconstitutional.
Lee v. Weisman, 120 L.E. 2d 467/ 112 S.C.T. 2649 (1992).
Ruled prayers at public school graduations an impermissible establishment of religion.
Berger v. Rensselaer, 982 F.2d, 1160 (7th Cir.) Cert. denied. 124 L.E. 2d 254 (1993).
Let stand ruling barring access to Gideons to pass out Bibles in Indiana schools.
Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe, 530 U.S. 290 (2000).
Barred student-led prayers at public school functions.
Have you ever really thought about this? How we cannot stand up in a pulpit and talk about the Government, without them wanting to audit, pull your tax exempt status, and close your doors. Before you can start a legal, tithe receiving Church organization, you have tell them what your beliefs are and what your Church doctrine is, and how it will be set up, BEFORE, you will be approved to become tax exempt status with WHO, none other than THE State Government.

SO see the fight for prayer in school is just one of the things that will always be an endless battle that should be left a sleeping dog . ( pst ) Do you really think God worries about prayer in schools or colleges around the world? I think not. That is the least of His worries. He get millions of prayers a day from children and students alike from around the world saying God help me with this test I'm about to take. Lord Jesus help me make it through the day that I can live up to my abilities. You see they didn't stop prayer in schools. ALL they did was just silence the voices of those who would have prayed out loud. Parents keep teaching your children to pray.

Then there's the right to bare arms, guns, rifles, knives and such that we now have to register and wait for back ground checks to even get a permit to carry. I don't own a gun, my wife won't let me have one (joke). It takes 30, 60, 90 or more days to receive a permit, if you even get approved. Many don't and won't. It bothers me that it is easier for a convicted felon, one day out of prison, to get a gun than a law abiding citizen who just wants to protect their home, family, and possessions. I truly believe in the saying that guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Now they say they may take our right to drive what we want to drive. Mr. President, Congressmen, Senators, before you take our Z-71's, our Ford F-250's or our Dodge quad cabs, consider this; you want to rid our dependence on foreign oil or go green by building more electric cars or trucks, help the O-Zone, save the rain forest, etc. but before you take or even think about taking our trucks and cars, try driving yourself and your foreign dignitaries around in a Yugo. Or, the next time you wanna fly on a surprise trip to Iraq or Afghanistan, or to see the King of Spain, (let's make the list short), anywhere in the Middle East, instead of taking Air Force 1, 2 or 3, (how ever many there may be), try taking a Cessna 303, single engine plane, to save the tax payers money and fuel. Fix what needs fixed and leave the people of America alone while fixing it.

I along with nearly over 303,824,650 people in the United States want change. Mr. President, here are some ways I believe you can help change America, please consider your promise was change. So what are you gonna change? Cut taxes: You already talking increasing them. Create more jobs: you're already cutting jobs. It doesn't take 4, 8, to 10 or more years to fix health care. JUST fix it. You're the Commander & Chief, stand up and be bold, have some balls. Tell the House and Senate this is what you want, then do it! Instead of having to have your press secretary stand before a camera and tell America, "well the measure didn't pass the House and won't make it to the Senate", ( health care), "we'll keep on trying". (Famous words). Next the economy, humm tough subject, go up on Capital Hill, take a good long look, I mean a good longgggggg look. See all the Lobbyist, and the special interest groups hanging around, the big oil companies, the big Energy companies, gas , light, in other words , helllo the Utility companies, they can't be that hard to see. Now be a Man and take that #13 size shoe you wear an boot their butts out of Washington. And while their leaving, have them leave a billion or two dollars in the hat for the economy and American people, and say don't ya come back NO MO NO MO NO MO NO MO, (as the song goes). Now when Washington starts doing what their elected to do, what the people want, then America will be just a hair closer to what she once was. And, before you try to extend the Presidential Term of Office, spend the next eight years proving you or any other President deserves more time.

They can stimulate the economy with their piss poor stimulus checks, lol, then turn right around and charge you taxes on it. Lol, wow their stimulating right before they rape ya again. The way to fix the economy is by, first give back to the people, if the middle class on down to the lower class that works their lives away every day or year, and still owe taxes, and owe more than $25,000, forgive that debt, the Federal Reserve and the World Bank wont miss it. Their not even American owned. Then your next step should be to regulate, regulate, regulate, Banks, Savings and Loan companies, Gas and Oil, Natural Gas and Energy. You may not last to long as President, but neither did Abraham Lincoln or John.F. Kennedy when they stood against them. You're the man of change, well don't just change it, fix it! If that's too tall of an order, resign with Honor, you promised change. THIS would be change.

MAKE AMERICA PROUD AGAIN.

Bring our troops home and fortify our boundaries. Help America FIRST, then help only those who help US, Our ALLIES, Great Britian, and Israel, our True Brothers in Arms.

Sholoam and peace to ISRAEL.
