The loudest voice this election has been the Catholic voice – while so many Christians are worried about being politically correct, worried about creating division, worried about creating offense….. the Catholics have opened their mouths loud!

ABORTION is an offense to God – if you vote for a President who endorses abortion you will hold that blood on your hands
regardless of the

-Price of Gas
-The Cost of Insurance
-The amount of taxes you pay on your income

There is ONE Issue on this ballot that if you call yourself a follower of Christ you will answer for in eternity!

That one issue is LIFE.

If you redefine marriage- you will bring a curse on this nation.

Be very careful where you put your vote- you only get ONE VOTE

I have not been called to be Politically correct-

I have been called to declare the Truth of
ONE GOD and
ONE FAITH AND
ONE LORD,
In ONE NAME.

Where Are The Kings During a Recession?

http://www.arealchange.com/blog/?p=119

Recently I was sitting in a leadership meeting with professed believers. Those who claim to walk by faith and not by sight. Those who trusted God to redeem them from the curse of death and now profess to live a life set apart by Him, lived thru Him and enabled by Him.

My heart is sick during this recession. Where are the kings? Where is the faith? Do we settle so low into the day in and day out operations of life that we now fall into despair and unbelief? Sometimes I think we would do the world a favor to not let them know we are believers of God or the Bible if we are going to behave in such a way.

There are those who say this is the sovereign will of God. There are those who say we are being judged for our sin.

My thoughts however gravitate to the fact that we were told we were given all things pertaining to life. We were told we would never be forsaken and our seed would never be found beggging for bread.

I was shocked to discover something that many might think I am just plain naive to not realize. I am not naive I just don't think the typical status quo of running a company is acceptable.

Is there no such thing as a debt free company anymore?

And do believers not have enough faith to realize God desires them to soar in a recession? I have built 3 multi-million dollar companies and have not gone into debt for them. And historically I have had profits in the lowest times of business. During 9-1-1 we tripled our profits at my kitchenware store and vitamin store in just 9 days. In the last 3 weeks I have doubled the profits of the company I am working with. Broke international records.

Do people just expect that it’s normal to sink now?

I don’t know.. sometimes I just am so surprised by the unbelief in the hearts of so many professing believers… do we put up measures to survive during times like this or is our faith really proven during times like this.

I am not judging or being critical I honestly think these are times that the Bible speaks of where the righteous are scarcely saved, the virgins with the oil are gonna be taunted by the ones with no oil. The true core of many is being revealed and most importantly it is time to repent for our greed and consumptive mindsets and really get a grip of why would God want His kids to prosper right now.

Did He say He would take care of you or not? Can you let go of control during a recession so He can truly perform His work in you and your business?

Where are the kings during this recession?

Where are the anointed ones? Where are the ones that Jesus gave a talent to who will be required to give an account for what they did with that talent? If the lowest form of profit is to put your money in the bank and collect interest ( parable of the talents) than why are so many believers so disappointed when their profit and interest systems have fallen?

Pro 28:20 A faithful man will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished. To be richly blessed is to be rich AND blessed. To be eager to be rich is a heavy burden.

Exd 20:9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work. WHY do most believers only work 5 days? Were they given exemption? What would their paycheck and accounting system look like if that 6th day was actually worked?

Exd 23:12 "Six days do your work, but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the slave born in your household, and the alien as well, may be refreshed. Working 6 days is God's plan.

I live in a 'weather proof' kingdom.

When I ask God to heal a body, restore a marriage, rescue an addict, save a sinner- no one has a problem with that. But when I ask God to weather proof my business during a recession and prosper me during a down time- people think something is wrong. Is your God a part of your entire life or not?

Deu 2:7 The Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast desert. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything. Was that just for then? Or is He still the same God.

Deu 28:12 The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.

Deu 30:9 Then the Lord your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The Lord will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your fathers,

Deu 33:11 Bless all his skills, O Lord, and be pleased with the work of his hands. Smite the loins of those who rise up against him; strike his foes till they rise no more."

Unfortunately alot of believers think that just because they are one of God's kids He is gonna bless them and rain dollars down from heaven. ALL of the verses above are a blessing on SKILL and WORK and LABOR.. not on a position. Your position IS blessed.. but your work is what God wants to prosper. If you don't work- you won't eat! If you are lazy- you won't increase your profits!

If you follow a lottery and a fantasy- you have a curse waiting for you!

2Ch 15:7 But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded."

Pro 14:23 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

Pro 18:9 One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys.

Pro 21:25 The sluggard's craving will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work.

Pro 22:29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men.

Pro 31:17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.

The stock market goes down and financial issues arise and the world believes we have come to an end.

This shows one thing: We have been FAR TOO COMFORTABLE. Our consumptive mindset has been stopped. It doesn't mean we are at the end of the world.

Ecc 2:24 A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God,

Ecc 5:19 Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work–this is a gift of God.

Ecc 8:15 So I commend the enjoyment of life, because nothing is better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany him in his work all the days of the life God has given him under the sun.

These verses say WORK not walking in your lottery system that fed you in your consumption and gluttony. There is a satisfaction that comes from trusting God and working unto Him.

Jer 31:16 This is what the Lord says: "Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded," declares the Lord. "They will return from the land of the enemy.

Jer 48:10 "A curse on him who is lax in doing the Lord's work! A curse on him who keeps his sword from bloodshed!

These are my closing thoughts and words:

Hag 2:4 But now be strong, O Zerubbabel,' declares the Lord. 'Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,' declares the Lord, 'and work. For I am with you,' declares the Lord Almighty.
