			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There have been many movies over the last couple of years that are adaptations of comic books, in which people have or develop super powers and become superheroes. Likewise, this has also spread over to television shows and the like. Normally when a person is watching these shows, as one of the attractions to this genre, the &#8220;audience&#8221; members envision what it would be like if they had such powers, and what they would do if they did.</p>
<p>To that idea, I ask a rhetorical question. If you, on today, received superpowers (such as the Green Lantern&#8217;s ability to create anything he can imagine or the telekinetic ability to move things with your mind), what are the first few things that come to your mind that you would do with them? This is rhetorical, so be truly honest with yourself.</p>
<p>Some of you may truthfully answer that you&#8217;d use it to help mankind in some way or another&#8230; Others will say they&#8217;d use it to help mankind, but the first thought that comes to mind is using the power to steal money, abuse power, or get some sort of enjoyment from an area of lust. This is where the lesson is centered, for what you&#8217;d do if you had full access to do anything is what is really in your heart.</p>
<p>It is important for us to protect our heart, for in Proverbs 4:23 it states &#8220;Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.&#8221; Our heart reveals our true character, as scripture declares in Luke 6:45 that &#8220;A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is actually one of the biggest problems with &#8220;church folk,&#8221; that though they put this great facade on every Sunday about how holy they are, their hearts remain corrupt, and it shows whenever the pressure is on. This is also why many never grow in the blessings of God, because it is out of the heart that the issues (good or bad) flow, so really what is being manifested in our lives is dependent on what is brewing on the inside. We talk about wanting prosperity, strength, and security in our lives, but in our hearts is weakness, corruption, and fear, and those things are what are then produced in our lives&#8230; a life of misery.</p>
<p>All hope is not lost though; but we do have to start changing that which is in our heart, and that can be done by the Word of God. We renew our mind with the Word of God. Our heart is filled with that which we allow in. We spend our lives hearing and being taught by negative advice and experiences, and this beccomes the abundance of our hearts, which continues to cultivate and reproduce more of itself. We have to learn to block out all of the anti-Christ, anti-faith, anti-success, failure-minded, fear-minded ideas that are constantly bombarding us and SUBMERGE ourselves in God&#8217;s Word and wisdom. As we continue to do this, and increase our awareness and control about what we are professing over ourselves (the negativity) then replace it with Godly wisdom, the abundance of our heart will soon start changing. It&#8217;s what you put into your heart (via your eyes, ears, and your own self prophetic words) that fills your heart. As you gain discipline over these gates to your heart and the abundance of your heart changes, so shall the life you live and issues thereof that flow out if it. You have to change your heart though. </p>
<p>Until now, your idea of power has more consumed with the fantasy powers that would come from an external source. Sure, if they were real, they would surely be powerful in a physical way. The real power, however, is formulated deep within the inner man (the temple of God) in the heart, and this power, truly is more capable of producing greater or worse things than any superpowers you could imagine. It is vital that we understand that superpowers are of no match to the true power that exists within, as this internal power, from our heart, truly controls all of the issues that life has to offer. Get the heart in check, and all of the superpowers that you can imagine, can be produced by the power of the heart within. Bless you!</p>
<p>By the grace of God,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">The purpose of this blog is to address the concerns of prophets being paid for their ministry. Many people are very quick to condemn a prophet for requesting an offering or payment on behalf of the prophetic word, yet the practice of paying a prophet (or bringing a financial gift to a prophet when seeking his guidance) is completely Biblical in nature, and appropriate in it&#8217;s context.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">First, let&#8217;s clear up that the Word of God is free!  Anyone can read the Word at any time, and no one should charge for exhibiting righteousness towards one another, towards encouraging one another, or towards sharing their heart/ministering two one another.  There is a difference, however, between this and someone operating in the vocation and/or an office of the ministry.  Any person operating in a ministry office / vocation, should still abide in the same principles of righteousness and love as anyone else, but it must also be understood that it is EXPECTED for the pastor, evangelist, etc., to go and live above and beyond that of everyone else because of his/her calling/vocation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">A pastor is expected to visit the sick at any time of day or night, go minister to shut in at any time of day or night, be there available to counsel during the week, run the church administratively, be constantly studying the word and constantly in prayer to be able to deliver the life changing messages to the congregation&#8230; day in and day out. This cannot be done, with the expected availability, without income coming from somewhere, and if the pastor has to spend all of his day at some secular job because the church is not supporting him, he just doesn&#8217;t have the time and availability that is expected.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, just as there are very high demands expected for the pastor, there are just as many expected for the prophet. The prophet, in fact, is expected to spend more time in prayer than the pastor as he is the voice of correction and exhortation to the pastors, evangelists, etc., in addition to the individuals that also seek him.  The prophet is expected to be able to give PERSONALIZED divine revelation (thus saith the Lord) for anyone&#8217;s individual need at any time (instead of preaching an all encompassing message to the entire congregation), which requires extended study, meditation, etc.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">In other words, in order for a prophet to be as effective as possible, it takes full time work in spiritual study, prayer, and practice, which is greatly limited when also having to work a full time secular job which not only limits the spiritual growth and maintenance time available, but also contributes to tarnishing the purity of spirit that is required to be most effective as a prophet.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">But what about the paying part? Where is the Biblical example?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Throughout the Bible, you will see that it was completely customary for kings, leaders, royalty, to approach the prophets with silver and gold.  In 2 Kings 5, Naaman came to Elisha with money to request his services.  In 2 Kings 4, the woman gave him a place to rest and gave to him her last pot of oil.  As a result they were greatly&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">In Matthew 10:41, it states that if you receive a prophet because he is a prophet, you will receive a prophet&#8217;s reward. (For example: Naaman had heard that there was a prophet in the land - Elisha &#8211; and because he accepted/received that Elisha was as prophet, he approached him in the proper protocol of bringing an offering)  It is also important to understand what the prophet&#8217;s reward is&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">The prophet&#8217;s reward is the gift of prophecy to the person seeking the prophet!  Naaman&#8217;s reward was the instruction to be healed, which was much more valuable than any price he could have paid. And think about how much more he would&#8217;ve been paying doctors to treat him without ever producing a TRUE healing.  It would&#8217;ve been a whole lot more than the gift he &#8220;offered&#8221; the prophet&#8230; and then Elisha rejected the gift.  The woman who blessed him with her last oil received an unlimited supply of new oil and the life of her son restored, two blessings that also are enormous in comparison to that small gift they paid.  And likewise, any gift you bring to the prophet for a prophetic word, though it may seem like a sacrifice, pales in comparison to the result of a prophetic word!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">The prophetic word can change your life for the better! It can lead you to the very thing for the new job that the $50,000 in college didn&#8217;t result in. It can lead you to the healing knowledge that will prevent a $100,000 surgery in the next year!  It can reveal your life purpose/career to you that will take care of you for the rest of your life!  It can prevent you from entering into a new agreement that would have left you impoverished!  The value of the prophetic Word, though it may not just put money in your pocket instantly, will save you exponential times the amount you gave, or open you up to gain exponential value if you take heed to the instruction.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Final thought:  &#8220;Christians&#8221; and others, are willing to invest tens of thousands of dollars in secular education often without the promised return on investment, willing to spend thousands of dollars on business opportunties, stocks, lottery, etc., with no promise of guarantee of results. Likewise, they are willing to spend hundreds of dollars secretly going to &#8220;psychics&#8221;, going to secular counselors, and buying secular products, that either result in no major improvement, require continued maintenance, etc. Yet&#8230; so much money, time, and effort can be saved with ONE WORD from GOD through His PROPHETS, which can completely change everything.  This simply demonstrates more faith in man, which has proven to fall short, than in God, who has never failed&#8230; and God is not pleased with this.  In this season, learn to trust the prophets and to bless the prophets.  Coming to the prophet with a GIFT in hand, is the PROTOCOL of God, throughout the Bible, and carries the promise of God of reward.  He even supplies (multiplies) more seed to the sower (2 Corinthians 9:10), meaning that if you do sow, give money, into the work of God, God will keep increasing your money so that you keep giving more to His work, and the work of the prophet is His work.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Considering all of this, and the title of the post, you pay a prophet to two primary reasons&#8230; 1) It is the protocol of God established thoughout the Bible. 2) It is for YOUR benefit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Bless you,</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have ever found yourself wondering, &#8220;why is my life like this?&#8221; or &#8220;why is this all I have to show for my life?&#8221; then there is one major thing to do to help answer the question&#8230; look at your receipts over the past few years.  Look at the pattern of your expenditures.  This is not just a basic financial principle either, but a spiritual principle.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">The Bible states in Luke 12:34 that &#8220;For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.&#8221; Considering this, our hearts are tied to where we spend our treasure (money). For example, people spend money on the music they love, the entertainment they enjoy, gifts for the people they love, material that supports the political or religious philosophies they love, etc. So, the first part of the principle is to know where your heart is at.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">The second part of the principle is based on the scripture, Proverbs 4:23, that states: </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">&#8220;Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.&#8221;  In other words, all of the issues in your life are based on what was in your heart.  If your heart is tied to your money, which you&#8217;ve used to spend on corrupt things, then now your heart will be causing corrupt issues to flow into your life.  Where you have been spending your money has resulted in where you are in life.  Likewise, where you CHOOSE to spend your money now is representive of the condition of your heart, and therefore will determine what will CONTINUE to flow into your life in the FUTURE.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Recap: Check your heart by checking your wallet, for out of this flows the issues in your life!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Matthew 5:15-17</strong> (New International Version) &#8211; </span><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Luke 11:36</strong> (New International Version) &#8211; </span><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Every day that we walk in the presence of others, we have an opportunity to make a difference, and possibly &#8220;shed light&#8221; upon their understanding of the faith which we are committed.  Yet, too often we don&#8217;t take full advantage of these opportunities.  When it comes to our faith, we MUST let it shine, for this is the only way that it shall be seen, known, and understood, and we usually fall into one of three categories: torches, lamps, and flashlights.</span> <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span>  <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><u>Flashlights</u></span> <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">A person with flashlight faith is one who is strong and powerful, but only in a very limited scope.  This is often the person that you see at church who is praising his/her heart out and the very next hour is at the store cursing someone out.  This person is considered the hypocrite, because in the area that he or she is strong in, he/she will even bliind (attack) others for not having that same standard IN THAT AREA, forgetting about his/her own weaknesses in SO MANY other areas.  Even worse, this person can easily be turned off even in the area of strength.</span> <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span>  <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><u>Lamp</u></span> <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">A person with lamp faith is one who wants to fit in with everyone, while still being seen as a good, or spiritual, person.  They try to let their light shine, but keep it a little bit muffled; they want to be seen as &#8220;good,&#8221; but not to the point of being &#8220;holy-rollers&#8221; or &#8220;holier-than-thou.&#8221;  Because of this, they will often relax their standard, or go against their consciences, just a little bit&#8230; just enough to keep from offending those around them.  They want to be bright enough to be able to claim to have the best moralilty out of the group, but not so much that they no longer fit in.  There are varying shades of these types.</span> <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span>  <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><u>Torch</u></span> <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The person with torch faith is the one who, frankly, just doesn&#8217;t care what anyone thinks.  This person is &#8220;SOLD OUT&#8221; for the Lord and doesn&#8217;t care what anyone says or thinks about it.  This person doesn&#8217;t have to worry about toning down his/her light because if anyone tries to put a shade over it, the shade will be destroyed by the heat.  When you hear the phrase, &#8220;on fire for God,&#8221; you are witnessing someone with torch faith.  This is also the ultimate level that the Word teaches us we need to be at to be worth of Christ, that we should be willing to lose our life (what we know, love, and identify with) for the sake of God&#8217;s will.</span> <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span>  <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Though faith levels vary among people, we must always remember that we are all given a measure of faith.  Because of this, we all have the foundation to grow into what God desires.  We must remind ourselves of not only the promises, but also the costs and requirement of those promises.  If we are ashamed of Christ before man, He shall be ashamed of us before the Father, so with that understanding, let us let our light shine that much more!  Be not afraid of rejection by man, be afraid of the eternal rejection, and let our faith shine that much more.  So ask yourself, &#8220;Am I a flashlight, lamp, or a torch?&#8221;  If you haven&#8217;t reached the latter, keep praising, reading, learning, and growing, for this is the standard God desires.  Bless you.</span> <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span>  <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">By the grace of God,</span> <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span>  <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Kelvin &#8220;Besodeiah&#8221; Broadus, Prophet</span> <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Founder of UGFE Ministries</span>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">The scriptures below, from the Bible in Matthew 7, are quite well known. Verses 7 and 8 read as follows:</span><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>7&#8243;Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.</em> </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"></span>  <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">So very often, the emphasis given when this is taught is that God will give to you if you just come to Him, yet I&#8217;m delivering this teaching to show you a deeper revelation in these scriptures. Have you ever noticed the order of the directions: ask, then seek, then knock. There is actually a spiritual significance to it.</span> <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"></span>  <br /><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Just before this scripture it talks about not giving your pearls to pigs for they&#8217;d just trample over it then turn on you, so I pray that there are no pigs (ignorant, insatiable, obnoxious, scavenger-minded, greedy fools) that are receiving these pearls, that they may not go to waste. Likewise, this is important to know, as it sets the tone that what is about to be taught is related to the wisdom of the word of God. Let&#8217;s break it down then.</span> 
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Ask and it will be given to you.  This first part is referencing the beginning stages of your faith. We are referred to as babes in Christ when we first get saved, and our Father, God/YHWH, treats us that way. When we are new Christians, He will answer our prayers quickly and feed us with His wisdom and His blessings at a mere asking, sometimes without us even having to ask. Yet, as any good parent, He cannot just keep spoiling us as we start maturing. It begins to become time for us to grow up and start doing something for ourselves.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Seek and you will find.  Just as when kids get older, they are required to obtain more responsibility by figuring out things on their own. Just the same, God expects us to progress to a point where He doesn&#8217;t have to keep spoon feeding us, but where we shall search out the scriptures ourselves through constant study, sowing, praying (seeking Him) to start finding our own answers on how to live in faith.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Knock and the door will be opened. God finally expects us to become mature enough Christians that we have learned the Word good enough (from all the reading, studying, praying, fasting, fellowship, etc.) that the actions of our faith become automatic. At that point, we already know what to do to receive the breakthrough. We understand the principles of showing that we shall reap, of forgiving that we shall be forgiven, of loving our enemies, of compassion, etc., therefore we know longer have to spend so much time searching and simple knock (take the action necessary) and then the door will be opened. It is also important with that to note that when a door is opened to you, you now have the free reign to enjoy as you please whereas before the stuff you were seeking was measured to you.  At this stage, it&#8217;s in your hands to be disciplined and sensible enough to measure just how much you need, so though the doors to your blessing have been opened, the responsibility required has also increased.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Thus, this is the hidden message to that scripture.  As you finish reading this, please take a moment to review the lesson, meditate on it, and digest it, that you may begin applying it to your life. Consider the pearls, that you may not trample on them as would the swine, but use them to grow to that place of maturity in Christ that God so wants of us. Therefore, now, be led by the spirit and act accordingly to this Word, even now, in the name of Jesus Christ, here and evermore. Bless you. Amen.</span>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Many times, Christians find themselves comparing themselves to friends, family members, co-workers, etc., but for the wrong justification. Note that when I say Christians, I&#8217;m not referring to everyone who says that they are Christians, but rather the ones that regularly, <strong>sincerely</strong> seek out to do the will of God. That is the first thing to understand about Christianity: It&#8217;s not that you are perfect and name no mistakes, but that you are forgiven by God&#8217;s grace through Christ and have <strong>committed</strong> your life for living for Him because of it. And if you are truly committed, then it is evidenced by what you strive for, rather than just what you say or justify. In fact, one who is committed will not justify sins, but actually repent for them (no matter how many times he/she falls).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Now that we&#8217;ve cleared that up, let&#8217;s discuss the wrongful comparison. If you are committed and sincere about your walk, then you are not the same as someone who is purposefully seeking temptation, sin, etc., and always justifying it. You are not the same!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The Bible says in <strong>2 Corinthians 6:14-18</strong>, Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: &#8220;I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.&#8221; &#8220;Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.&#8221; &#8220;I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>With this, we are to understand that we should not be yoked with unbelievers (or rather, unequally yoked). So in other words, those who are not going in the same direction (I didn&#8217;t say at the same level, but rather going in the same direction) spiritually, socially, etc., towards God should be let go, because anything that takes you away from God&#8217;s will/plan is to be cut off.</p>
<p>And yes, you don&#8217;t want to seem all self-righteous, especially in a world where so many pompous idiots have so falsely represented themselves as Godly. But, you also don&#8217;t want to sell yourself as less than God&#8217;s will for you to be, because if you are not seeing yourself, or representing yourself, as God would have you to be seen, you are in disobedience! Many times we don&#8217;t want to declare our righteousness, or say something is wrong even though it actually is, because we are afraid that we&#8217;ll be judging someone and that the response will be &#8220;don&#8217;t judge.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, there&#8217;s a difference between judging (as in being a hypocrit, which is the negative connotation of it), and judging what is right or wrong based on and speaking the Word of God. See we have to see the rest of that scripture which states that you will then be judged by the measure that you judge another. This is very important because it clarifies that there is only a problem with calling out sin, when you are committing that sin, which is what makes you a hypocrite. If when you are speaking truth based on the word, <em>even applying it to yourself</em>, there is no hypocrisy. Yet, if you are ashamed of the Word because of others, Jesus will be ashamed of you!</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the overall point? The overall point is that if you are sincere as the saint that God has called you to be, it&#8217;s time to stop comparing yourself to others that are insincere as though they are the same as you. It is time to stop justifying their deliberate sins in comparison to you, just because you are so concerned about hurting their feelings, no matter how &#8220;close&#8221; they are to you for Jesus said if you are not willing to &#8220;hate&#8221; your brother, mother, etc., (as in, being willing to separate from them) for His sake, you are not worthy Him. These are not my words, but the Lord! It is time to stop telling those that you care about that the sin they deliberately do is okay because they might get offended and you&#8217;re afraid that they will throw <strong>your past</strong> in your face. For God has called you to be separate, a holy nation, and righteous in His ways, and what you associate yourself with (as far as who you identify yourself with by saying you are the same) is also how God is going to associate you. Please body of Christ, learn to identify yourself as sons and daughters of God, by sincerely, SINCERELY seeking His ways.</p>
<p>Bless you!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">The Lord gave me a Word to share family. Many are out there thinking you just can&#8217;t catch a break, and that the trials keep coming one after the other with no relief. You have God in your life and are trying to have faith but it feels like you have no power over being a constant patient, constantly under attack, constantly hurting.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">God wants you to know that &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to be a patient anymore! Just have patience.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">&#8220;No, not patience, in waiting on me,&#8221; says the Spirit of the Lord. &#8220;I want you to gain the trait of patience. I have great things for you in your path, but you are not ready to handle them because you have no patience. You are not ready.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">See, Romans 5:3 says &#8220;And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">God says, &#8220;I want you to know that I am only allowing the tribulations until you can develop patience that you need for the next level that I am taking you to. If you but learn to develop the patience you need, I will stop the tribulations from occurring,&#8221; saith the Lord. &#8220;If you begin to deal with your situations in a patient manner, you will be ready to take on the greater challenges of patience at the next level of blessing, but right now you are not ready, and have not the patience to deal with the challenges at that higher level of expansion.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">&#8220;As long as you are too quick, quick-tempered, quick to anger, quick to give up, quick to slack off, you will never have what it takes to reach your planned level of blessing, for it taketh patience to gain it. I shall take you there when you are ready!&#8221; thus saith the Lord!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">See Saints, Proverbs 19:11 tells us that &#8220;A man&#8217;s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.&#8221; It is going to take us wisdom, which is received from the Lord who gives it bountifully to those who ask for it, gained within the Word of God and understanding, and revelation thereof as given by the Spirit of God, to be patient. When you have the wisdom of why, how, and understand the significance of the things that occur in your life, patience for those things &#8211; because of the understanding &#8211; becomes automatic. And even in the times when you don&#8217;t fully understand it, as you can begin to grow your faith by feeding your Spirit with the bread of life, the Word of God, the faith in that God is with you despite it all, gives you the patience to endure.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Therefore brethren, please take heed to this Word. I pray that you shall receive that you may learn how to become a person of patience, rather than just an injured patient, overcoming the tribulation pattern that is affecting your life.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Be prepared says the Lord! Time is drawing near. I will return sooner than you expect. My Word shall not come back void to me, and time is approaching exceedingly quickly that it shall come to pass and be proven true. Thus saith the Lord. You shall be judged by the Lord quickly, and the earth shall be judged accordingly. Heathens do not wish to listen, and shall be casted away. Believe me says the Lord. My Word shall be fulfilled! Fret not if your heart is not hardened and you harken to my voice. If you repent, be saved, I shall forgive all of your sins. The kingdom is NOW! Be ready! Be ready says the Lord! Be prepared!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Please know that I am not playing. The Lord shall not be soft, but shall come with violence. Pain and power will be displayed. Anguish will be. I want you saved. But people will not listen, they will not harken unto me! Destruction then must be done. Time ticks quickly. Listen and live. Ignore and perish. Blessed is the LORD, holy is His way. Believe! Be saved! Believe! Time is coming soon, you will not be ready if comfort unprepares you. Be out of this world, but looking to the hills. The world&#8217;s time is up soon, sooner than you think. Believe me and be saved, saith the Lord!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">***taken under the umption of the Holy Spirit***</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Believe the prophet, and you shall be saved. Believe the prophets and you shall be established! Believe now, time is short. Thus saith the Lord!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Trumpets are the sound of the emergency systems blaring simultaneously all over the world. Havoc will be incomprehensible. Be ready! The Lord says believe! and be ready!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><em>Bless you. Let he who has ears hear!</em></span>
