ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: BABYLON IS FALLING DOWN, Part 11

Babylon is Falling Down,  Part 11

July 13, 2013

OK.  I missed my assumption by a little over a week concerning the Global Currency Reset.  We've already noted that the Iraqi Dinar -- the IQD (now becoming the IQN on FOREX markets) -- has been established as the pivot currency for this event.  For a variety of reasons I don't need to expand upon here, there were numerous glitches associated with the simultaneous effort to bring 198 restructured currencies up to replace their older counterparts.  Friends associated with the IMF and the UN have assured me that those issues have been resolved.

That said, if all goes well and there are no other hindrances or system breakdowns, we will see the unfolding of this event by Monday, July 15^th or shortly thereafter.  This represents a major event in the lives of millions of Christian believers who have been preparing for this -- some for as many as ten years -- in spite of the "scam" disinformation concerning it spread by the current administration in Washington.

This is the blessing of the Lord being released into this generation on a scale hitherto unknown, but it is the promise of God as seen in Proverbs 10:22:

"The blessing of the LORD makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it."  (Proverbs 10:22, NLT)

The word in the Hebrew text translated "rich" in this instance is a very specific word: ashar.  It means: to accumulate wealth, to grow (or to make) rich in goods.

There is a correspondent verse in the same chapter that speaks volumes, and I believe signals what is happening, and will happen with God's people as this release and great accumulation of wealth takes place.  Take a look at verse 15.

The KJV translates it like this: "The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty."

The way the Hebrew text is phrased, however, gives us an alternate way to translate this verse, and one that I believe more accurately represents the message Holy Spirit is conveying in this hour.

The wealth of a rich man releases and provides a place of security and a platform for boldness, whereas those who live constantly dangling [over a financial precipice] and in need are brought to poverty with its ruin and destruction.  (my translation and amplification)

If ever there were an hour for God's people to rise up in boldness and retake our nation(s) and the spiritual and moral ground that has been steadily stolen from us, that time is NOW!  Without a platform to stand on, without the necessary financial strength to work from, we are reduced to poverty and a poverty mindset that keeps us in slavery to the wicked.  I remind you of something written in the last Coffee Break:

Satan has gotten away with a lie for generation after generation after generation by promoting the idea that "to be rich is sinful.  After all, money is the root of all evil.  God wants people to be humble, and one can't be humble and have lots of money."  Bah Humbug!  It results in a poverty mindset that has beset the body of Christ and kept the wicked in power, ruling over the righteous.

But the Word of God tells us very clearly, "A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just."  (Proverbs 13:22)

The NLT puts it like this: "Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren, but the sinner’s wealth passes to the godly."

THAT, folks, is precisely what is happening!  The wealth of Babylon and the Babylonian system is being passed on to God's people.  Babylon may not have seen its end yet -- both in the world, commercially, and in the church system -- but its day is soon ahead and when it comes down, it is going to come down with a mighty crash!  I'll talk about that in a minute.

My point in sharing this picture of the wealth of the wicked being given to God's people -- once again -- is to bring to the fore the critical time in which we live and to accentuate the need for all of us to live with an ear to what Holy Spirit is instructing us to do with the wealth being given.

You see, folks, this is not just a money issue.  This is about multiple prophecies being fulfilled in this hour.

The transfer of wealth to God's people IS critical, but it is a blessing only to those folks who understand that this is God's money, that there is a destination use for them that the Lord has bred into the hearts of the recipients and that He certainly expects His people to demonstrate the prosperity that is coming from it.  However, there are many people who are becoming recipients of this transfer whose first and primary consideration is themselves, paying their bills, buying a new home or a new car or new clothes -- or whatever -- and whatever Holy Spirit purposes is somewhere way down the list -- IF they ever get to it before they spend the money!

For those folks who see this blessing only in that way, this is going to turn into a curse.  The money isn't going to accomplish what they intended it to accomplish, and some will actually wind up in worse shape financially than when they first began.

The issue here is that so many folks are contaminated with the mindset, the thinking and the mentality of Babylon.  Babylon is a "me-first" mentality.  I can't tell you how many people who will look at their own situation and take care of their own needs without first sowing first fruits.  This is a principle that Della and I learned years ago.

God gets His portion before we ever spend a dime on ourselves.  We've lived this way no matter whether it looks like we can pay our bills or not.  The principle of "first fruits" is revealed throughout the Word repeatedly.  It is an offering of the first and best that we have to the Lord (whether it is 3%, 7%, 10% or whatever) to honor Him for what we have been given.  Then we take out the tithe -- that belongs to Him anyway, and to withhold the tithe is to steal from God -- and then we can look at our bills, our needs, our desires otherwise.

You see the contrast, don't you?  This is totally opposite to conventional (Babylon-Mammon) thinking.  So many folks think that their bills come first.  God didn't create those bills, but He will certainly provide the means to pay them -- so long as we honor Him first!  Babylon's mindset puts all spiritual issues at the back of the line, often erasing them in the process.

People -- scratch that! -- let's deal with professing Christians.  Christians whose minds have been blinded or contaminated by the mentality and the structure of Babylon follow an order whose origins of which they are ignorant.

Take a look at the beginning of Babylon in Genesis (Genesis 11:1-4).

"And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.  And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.   And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.  And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.   And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."

Human logic says making bricks to build with is a great idea, but we forget where that logic comes from.  Nimrod's desire was to rule a uniform society -- a "socialist, communistic society" where everyone would be the same, function the same, have the same lifestyle and all work towards a common goal.  Buildings wouldn't be constructed of stone or wood.  This city and this tower would all have one purpose.

Babylon would "make us a name!"  Now, there's an interesting phrase for you.  The Hebrew word here in the OT is "shem" (pronounced, shame)  It is identical in meaning to the Greek "onoma," and in this context means: conspicuous position, authority, fame, reputation.

Sound a bit odd?  OK.  Add this phrase to the rest of it, "Go to!  (This is an imperative -- a command to the people.) Let us build a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto Heaven; and let us make US a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."

Up to this time, the concept of "name" used this way was applied only to God.  Nimrod, therefore, is essentially saying to the people, "We don't need God!  We can make our own name, our own position, our own authority, our own reputation -- in contradistinction to the name of God!  We will work together.  We will be a people -- a race of beings -- unto ourselves.  We can build our own tower to Heaven, and we can supplant and replace God."

We have a modern term to apply to this kind of thinking: secular humanism.  Humanism has been a part of church structure since the late first century.  It is ingrained in modern denominationalism.  In Revelation 2, John refers to it twice as "the doctrine (or the deeds) of the Nicolaitanes."

If you have read the Coffee Break series that I did a few years back on Seven Nations, Seven Letters, you'll recall that the historical context of the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes roots it in Babylon during the captivity.  The hierarchical aspect of this doctrine began with the Sadducees -- and they adopted a very hierarchical lifestyle and attendant doctrines, some of which crept into the body of Christ with "former" Sadducees who accepted Yeshua as HaMashiach.

By the same token the Pharisees took a democratic "of the people, by the people, and for the people" attitude.  They were populists who believed that "the common people" should have the final say.  In the same way that "former" Sadducees contaminated the early body of Christ with their doctrinal bent, "former" Pharisees likewise spread their agenda.

That might work in a republican (not the political party) kind of civil government, but it was never intended by God for the raising up and seasoning of a people who would become "the mature (huios) sons of God," heirs and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ, or -- to use the description John utilizes in Revelation: the Bride of Christ.

Babylon's mindset, Babylon's economy, Babylon's modus operandi, and Babylon's teachings and doctrines have become the Beast.  Jezebel, that great whore, "MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" sits astride that Beast.  She is subservient to and answers to her master, the King of Babylon.

Folks, I know it isn't politically correct to say it, and every time I do a bunch of people really get angry with me, but nevertheless: Jezebel, that great whore, is the church system.  Jezebel promotes the spirit of anti-Christ, presents a "substitute" Christ in the form of "feel good" doctrines that push a fraudulent form of grace off on people and deny the existence of Hell.  Jezebel continues to teach and preach things that allow people to continue on in various sinful activities.

Holy Spirit is relegated to a mystical existence.  Knowing Him personally and yielding to His dealings is for "those fanatical people who are really only interested in signs and miracles."  Speaking in tongues is eliminated as nothing more than a "nonessential sign" that people can either do or not do -- it really doesn't matter.  Holiness is for prudes.  "Righteousness" is nothing more than a religious term -- we are all righteous!

Apostolic office died out at the end of the first century -- or whenever the last of the apostles died.  Malachi was probably the last of the prophets.  We have evangelists, we have pastors, and we have teachers -- and that's all we need.

Are you seeing this heresy?  How many of you have been exposed to, or actually taught this kind of spiritual insanity?  All of it is designed to keep you from experiencing the true authority of the Lord Jesus Christ yourself.  All of it is designed to keep you walking in substandard, watered-down, Caesar-Milquetoast, "having the name but denying the power thereof" brand of Babylonian Christianity that has made the name "Christian" a bad word in our society today.

The world around us screams for the manifestation of the sons of God!  The world around us cries out for the reality it has heard about in times past.  The "Babylonian Christianity" that pervades the earth today has so short-changed the Gospel of the Kingdom that when true representatives of the Kingdom show up in the authority, the love, the power and the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, manifesting Him and exuding His presence, wanna-be Christians get intimidated, Babylonian leaders within the "church world" cry, "Heretic!" but a desperate society flocks to in search of truth and true "sozo" salvation.

Well, I thought I was going to talk about the crash of Babylon today, but I didn't get there.  We'll pick it up at that point in our next Coffee Break.

Blessings on you!

ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: BABYLON IS FALLING DOWN, Part 10

Babylon is Falling Down,  Part 10

July 7, 2013

Whewww!!!!  Four days of temperatures reaching 111 degrees and our AC quitting on the first day with no repairman available until the fifth day makes sitting in the office and writing these Coffee Breaks just a tad difficult.  Hence the delay in getting this week's post out.

By the time many of you get to read this post, the first stage of the Global Currency Reset will likely have taken place, and what seems almost like madness will prevail at many of the nation's banks as folks try to cash in on their newly-received wealth.  Even before the first stages of the attending protocols kicked in as far as the public was aware, security has been tightened, thousands of new security personnel either hired or requested to work extended hours and banks across the country have been prepared for an onrush of new clients.

Wealth Management groups, such as Abbott-Downing, have known about and have been preparing for months to deal with huge investment requirements for tens -- and perhaps hundreds -- of thousands of new (and very uneducated) investors  needing assistance in diversification.

Few if any of the wealth managers have had any concept of investing in the Kingdom of God, and their focus is almost exclusively Money, Money, Money, More, More, More -- for their clients, to be sure, but more so for their banking firms!  Herein lies a double-edged sword for God's people.

Before I continue, let me build a fence around some of my commentary.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with making money, and lots of it; and in fact, the power to get rich is a gift from God -- a covenant gift for those walking in covenant with Him.

For people who understand the covenant of wealth, there is a clear understanding that with great wealth comes great responsibility and answerability to the Lord.  There are Kingdom priorities that are well established throughout God's Word -- the first and most important priority being to demonstrate to an onlooking world just what it means to walk in covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ; the second priority to allow Holy Spirit to work through you using that wealth so that "that he may establish (**qum) his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers." 

This Hebrew word, qum, translated "establish," is pretty strong and it amplifies our understanding of what is required of God's people when this wealth is given.  This word means:  to cause to abide, to accomplish, to continue, to decree and to perform.

Now, let's continue.  The double-edged sword for believers comes in the fact that we live in a "me-first" society which demands and encourages self-gratification on just about every level.  The ease with which we are able to gratify the whims and desires (the Scripture calls it "the lusts") of our flesh makes it so easy to fall prey to something that Jeremiah, prophesying to Israel, describes like this, "Those who eat delicacies are desolate in the streets."  (Lamentations 4:5 NASB)

Jeremiah 51 refers to the trap laid by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, when he writes that "he has filled his stomach with my delicacies."  In case you think I'm kind of getting too oblique here, let's get down to the brass tacks.

The danger to believers is falling prey to the ease of self-gratification once they've been given great wealth, and not realizing that the enemy also uses money against God's people.  Wealth is God's province!  He is the enabler, the giver, the One who gives the power to gain wealth and to be rich.

Satan has gotten away with a lie for generation after generation after generation by promoting the idea that "to be rich is sinful.  After all, money is the root of all evil.  God wants people to be humble, and one can't be humble and have lots of money."  Bah Humbug!  It results in a poverty mindset that has beset the body of Christ and kept the wicked in power, ruling over the righteous.

One more time: "But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish his covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.^"  (Deuteronomy 8:18)

I know many of you are wondering if I'm ever going to get to the point, so let's revisit a piece of John's prophecy against the spirit of Babylon.

"For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of [Babylon's] fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies."

Virtually all of the OT prophets lamented Israel's fornication.  What God was addressing through Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, etc., was the spiritual fornication that had taken place among His people -- a people whom He had "betrothed" to Himself.  They had gone chasing after other gods.  They had co-mingled their families with the families of the accursed nations and contaminated the worship of God with the worship of false gods -- demons who had first sold them the bill of goods that wealth and riches were not a part of God's promise to His people, and then enticed them with "easy money" and "the abundance of Babylon's delicacies."

John, in the Revelation that the Lord Jesus Christ gives to him, identifies that same kind of fornication and adultery within the corporate body known worldwide as "Christians."  Consider the way he begins his letter to the Ekklesia in Sardis (see Chapter 3): "I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead."

Paul, on the other hand in writing to Timothy, describes a people "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof."  (See II Timothy 3:5)

Both are describing the same contamination in the body of Christ.  There are many folks who call themselves "Christian" who profess to know the Lord, and in reality they are as dead as doornails when it comes to spiritual things.  They couldn't lay hands on the sick and see them recover if their lives depended on it.  They couldn't cast out demons without being attacked by those demons in the same way the seven sons of Sceva experienced.  (Acts 19:14)

Then you have that group of people who by all outward appearances are real believers.  They have all of the right words, they say the right phrases, they even claim to believe and walk by faith, but when it comes right down to it, they deny the power.  Start talking to them about being "baptized in the Holy Spirit" or "being filled with the Spirit" and they get really defensive.  The most common excuse is "Well, I'm willing to do it.  If God wants me to have it, then He'll give it to me."  It's a cheap cop-out to avoid the necessary yielding of their most contrary vessel -- the tongue -- to the complete control of Holy Spirit.

I don't want to just dwell on the negative, and that's not what this series is for.  My objective is to sound a clarion call throughout the body of Christ to a people whose lives have been co-opted either consciously or unconsciously by the lusts of their flesh, by the attraction to the "delicacies" offered by Satan.  Let's be clear.  Satan offers these niceties and seemingly delicious things in such a way that people's eyes are blinded to the truth of the destruction that follows.

Because of the spirit of poverty that has so wound its way through the teachings and doctrines that pervade Christianity today, it has created a huge class of people who hate the poverty and will do almost anything to get ahead in life.  As a result, they are ripe for schemes that will solve their money problems.  It has resulted in a glaring contrast between the so-called "prosperity preachers" and those who preach tithing, giving, sowing of seed out of their own poverty mindset because of their own needs.

Let me pause here momentarily to give credit to folks like Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis, Creflo Dollar, Bill Winston, Keith Moore and other brethren who have taken it on the chin for years while trying to lift the body of Christ out of its centuries-old mindset of poverty and false humility.  They have suffered, and continue to suffer, attacks and slander, being defamed and reviled by false brethren whose eyes have been blinded by the god of this world.

Unfortunately, the body of Christ is filled with a lot of wanna-be prosperity preachers and teachers who have not yet been delivered from a spirit of poverty and wind up preaching and teaching a warped version of God's blessing while using the enticements of Babylon and the Babylonian system in order to seduce folks into giving, tithing, etc.  This is -- again -- that double-edged sword that faces God's people today.

One edge is the blessing of the Lord in the form of the "power to get wealth" and with it, the recognition that with great wealth from the Lord comes great responsibility.

The opposite edge of the sword is the tendency to see money as "power" and to wind up in effect worshiping money.

Let's put it another way.  Jesus said, "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."  (Matthew 6:24)

If your Master is the Lord Jesus Christ, then you treat wealth as the empowerment from the Lord "that he may establish his covenant."  If your Master is Mammon then you worship money, you put it first, you make it your priority in life, and you subject yourself to Babylon, its spirit, its psychology, its mindset and its mode of operation.

Babylon and its way of life, its system of operating, its enticements and seductions are not just the province of the world; Babylon -- the feminine spirit of Babylon we more frequently refer to as "the spirit of Jezebel" -- has so infiltrated the body of Christ with what we commonly and generically call "the church" that the two are almost indistinguishable from one another.

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.  For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities."

THAT is the call of Holy Spirit in the body of Christ today to a people who will hear and respond.  Twenty years ago while we were gathering at Trails End in Post Falls, Idaho with a fair number of folks in the midst of spontaneous prophetic praise and worship, Holy Spirit began to pour into us the prophetic call for God's people to come out of Babylon.

The music and the prophetic singing took on many forms -- some very sober and explicit in describing the spirit of Babylon, some a gentle call to those who would hear, and some of the music was rather humorous.  One piece in particular had no words but drew a pretty good picture of folks "shuffling" out of Babylon.  We called it, The Babylon Shuffle.  Funny or not, it gave a good understanding that the Lord is using many avenues and types of prophetic messaging to convey the critical importance for people to get out of Babylon, and be delivered from its system of operating, its mindset and its enticements.

We've been talking about the Basel III Protocols, the Global Currency Reset and the Babylon II software created and put in motion to deal with the world's economic crises.  Here's the problem.  These are all man-made efforts to deal with Babylon's problems.  The thinking and mindset of those who've labored so hard to effect these "repairs" to the world's rapidly dissolving economies is still contaminated by the spirit of Babylon.

The Lord has so orchestrated things in the midst of this that His people, His Bride, will be blessed in the midst and face of the fall of Babylon.  This is a short window of opportunity for all of us to participate in one of the greatest Kingdom advancing events in all of history.

Here's the thing that God's people need to watch.  First it is patently obvious that the governing power of this nation is going to undergo radical change -- at least in the short term.  Let me explain.

It is a tragic commentary on the state of evangelical Christianity in America when we realize that 57% of so-called evangelical Christians (according to statisticians) voted to keep our current administration in power -- an administration quite possibly the most corrupt and evil administration in America's history.  How could that be?  Here's how the apostle Paul put it when writing to the Corinthians:

"The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."  (II Corinthians 4:4)

When people's minds, their thought patterns, and their supposed relationship to the Lord Jesus Christ get contaminated with the spirit of Babylon -- Jezebel -- who usurps and exalts herself above God and the things of God, they become blinded to the truth, insensitive to the Spirit of the Lord, and incapable of responding to spiritual crises in their lives and their surroundings.

Let's wrap up this Coffee Break with the prophetic word from Revelation 18:6-8:

Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.  How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.  Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her."

We're probably a couple weeks away from finishing this series, so stay with me.  See you next week!

Blessings on you!

ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: BABYLON IS FALLING DOWN, Part 9

Babylon is Falling Down,  Part 9

 June 28, 2013

Hi, Everybody!  Let's get this discussion on the road.  Grab a cup of some Black Tiger.  That stuff is stout!  If you're not awake, I promise you will be!  If you don't need waking up, there's a carafe of some Double-Roasted French.  That will at least light up your taste buds!

For some folks, no doubt, it seems like I've slipped a cog somewhere in talking about a series of geopolitical and geoeconomic events as I began to do in the last Coffee Break, but it is important for you to see what John saw and prophesied in Revelation 18.  I'll get back to the narrative I was sharing last week in a few minutes, but let me begin by showing you the first eight verses of chapter 18:

"And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.  For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.  For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.  Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.  How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.  Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her."

In earlier Coffee Breaks in this series, I've noted how we have this distinction between the "King of Babylon" and the feminine picture of the Spirit of Jezebel personified in "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."  Notice again how John opens up this passage as he refers to Babylon strictly in a feminine gender.

I've noted how this Babylonian spirit is part and parcel of the structured church world with its systematized and canned dogmas and doctrines, as well as its two modes of governance -- (1) Hierarchical, with tiers of ascending leadership and authority eventually vested in one individual or a very small group of individuals; and (2) Congregational (or Democratic) with primary authority vested in the masses, making the "leadership" answerable to a voting process -- both of which subvert the plan of the Lord for Ekklesia and replace Theocratic leadership with Humanistic leadership veiled as the leadership of the Lord Jesus Christ.  THIS is some of that harlotry to which John refers.

That's a mouthful, I know, but that's the essence of "the doctrine of the Nicolaitans" as described in Revelation 2.  Within our "Charismatic" church world, we've come to recognize apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers (generally referred to as the "five-fold ministries") and yet, so much of the contamination of the Nicolaitan doctrine has still pervaded the Charismatic churches.

There are so many wanna-be apostles (who freely refer to themselves as "Apostle so and so") and wanna-be prophets (who also take the label unto themselves as a title of honor) who easily, and without discernment, mix some real prophetic utterances with false prophecies that tickle the ears of the listeners.

I grew up watching the true apostolic realm manifested in my father, but to all the religious world, he was nothing more than "a missionary."  Dad would have been horrified at the thought of being referred to as an apostle.  Even his denominational brethren cringed when I described his ministry in that manner at his funeral where folks came from all over the world.

Folks, there is a real separation going on in the body of Christ -- a separation between those who walk in real apostolic and prophetic anointing, and those who may sincerely desire and aspire to those ministries but have never been anointed for it, who wind up doing damage to the body.  There is a clear -- and growing clearer -- distinction between those whom God has approved and sent forth with His authority and anointing, and those who lack His approval and simply go forth spouting doctrines, dogmas, and formulas pretending to be the servants and representatives of the Kingdom.  In fact, they don't have a clue what Kingdom living is all about!

Then of course, there are people who've been shoved into evangelistic ministry because they're "supposed to lead souls to Christ" almost immediately after they've been "saved" themselves.  They are babes in the Lord who are supposed to be bringing more babies into the Kingdom, and as a result the body of Christ has been weak, lacking in true authority, and spiritually sickly, still living off the milk bottle and pabulum.  What you see in the church reflects our society as well -- kids producing more kids, little more than babies themselves emotionally, psychologically and spiritually, creating a society so immature that it is falling into ruin without spiritual and moral compass.

Isaiah put it even more succinctly as he prophesied of the day in which we live.

"The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.  Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.  Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.  As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths."  (See Isaiah 3:9-12)  And HERE we have a picture of some of the abominations to which John refers.

[Now, PLEASE!  Just because I've quoted from Isaiah's prophecy, don't someone get the nutty idea that I'm opposed to women in places of leadership, or that I have some bone to pick with women in ministry.  Della is about the clearest evidence I can present against that!  She has both the anointing and a command of the kind of authority that can only come from Father God.  I'm talking about the anointing that comes when one is commissioned and sent forth in the authority and power of God to accomplish His rhema to them!  What Isaiah was prophesying against was the spirit of Jezebel which had pervaded and contaminated the nation.]

One more example, and I'll get off this.  Several years ago I was introduced to a rather prominent evangelical pastor and church leader who had a sizeable congregation.  We sat at lunch one day and I asked him how the Lord called him into the ministry.  He looked blankly at me for a minute, and then responded, "When I was in high school, I knew I needed to pick some kind of career.  I looked at the pastor of the church we attended and decided that would be a good thing to do.  When I graduated from high school, I picked what seemed like a good seminary (he named it) and went there.  After graduating, the denomination thought I was a good fit for this church and sent me here."

There was absolutely no concept of being called, anointed or commissioned by Holy Spirit.  It was nothing more than an intellectual decision that put him there.  That experience, unfortunately, is not the exception.  Over the years Della and I have both run into ministers of virtually every stripe who could tell us a very similar reason for being "in the ministry."  We both have stories that would make you ill, were they to be repeated, and it isn't worth repeating, other than to amplify my earlier comment about the clear line of delineation taking place in the body of Christ between those who are simply "religious" and those who walk in true relationship with the Lord.

I've already quoted this statement from Isaiah in an earlier Coffee Break, but it is worth repeating here: "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee."  (Isaiah 60:1-2)

That's precisely how this clear separation between the people of God and those who simply name the name of Jesus Christ ("Having a form of Godliness, but deny the power thereof." -- II Timothy 3:5)

I've taken more time with this than I expected to, so let's see how far along I can get in finishing the narrative from last week.

When we were ending last week's discussion, I mentioned that the United Nations Security Council was expected to end the sanctions against Iraq this week.  That took place on Thursday, the 27th.  A unanimous vote by the Security Council initiated a process that will unfold during the coming months. Expected early this next week will be the release of the reinstated value of the IQD (now the IQN), and from all indicators we should see something on the order of a value similar to that which existed just before sanctions were imposed over 20 years ago.  It's value is expected to rise over the coming months to an even greater level, and for those folks who hang onto a good percentage of their currency, the returns will be even better.

What is taking place with the Iraqi Dinar, however, is a drop in the bucket when compared to the overall picture of what is taking place.  While the IQD/IQN may be the pivot currency for the events to follow, on Sunday night, June 30th, if reports are accurate, some 66 currencies will change significantly in value.  This could easily result in chaos in some parts of the world, while in others -- like our Canadian friends to the north -- will experience significant gains in the value of their money against the U.S. Dollar and other worldwide currencies.

Because of the chaos within the European Union, and the fact that various central banks within the EU countries have simply reached their limits in bailing out countries like Greece, Italy, and others who are in absolute crisis, the expectation (and prediction from several prominent bankers who are part of the Basel III, Global Currency Reset) is that the Euro will be dissolved and replaced with a new currency entirely -- a currency which has true asset backing, be that gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, oil, natural gas, or whatever mix they choose.

By mid-October of this year, if all goes according to plan, 198 currencies representing the overwhelming majority of the nations of the world will have been restructured/revalued/devalued/realigned against one another based on their respective asset backing.

There is more than a little uncertainty as to what will happen within the U.S. economy when the U.S. Dollar is devalued by 50% -- a two stage event expected to be completed by October 8th.  But the U.S. Dollar is not the only currency taking a hit of this magnitude.  Many other currencies are going to suffer similarly.  The world is going to experience an economic shaking the likes of which has never happened before in history.

There is both danger and benefit in the events to unfold.  The danger comes in the form of people who are unprepared for the losses they are likely to suffer, and the panic that ensues.  The benefit will be to those believers, especially those within the Bride of Christ, who have been forewarned and have prepared themselves against this day.  Not since the children of Israel departed Egypt carrying Egypt's wealth with it has there been such a transfer of wealth into the hands of God's people.

The events taking place are going to result in more than a few billionaires within the body of Christ -- billionaires who have both a commission from the Lord and an anointing to help fund this last great harvest prior to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ -- even perhaps a half-dozen trillionaires, and literally millions of new millionaires.  If these numbers stagger you, one only has to remember that more than $47 Trillion gets traded daily on the FOREX exchanges around the world.

But, folks, here's where things get serious!  Those people who experience this newly-acquired wealth, who do not put the Kingdom of God FIRST, who forget that this blessing is from the Lord, who neglect to sow their first fruits, will before long be in worse shape than they were before the transfer took place.

I remind you of exactly what God said about it:

"But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish his covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.  And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.   As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God."  (Deuteronomy 8:18-20)

This is a once-in-history event tailor made by Holy Spirit to fund what God is about to do.  It has already happened, but there is a shift in the realm of the Spirit in the atmosphere.  A new era among God's people is unfolding.  It's a new day!  It's a new season!

Over the years I've discovered that when God's people don't have the nagging of unpaid bills, debt, mortgage payments to make, automobile payments, the weight of credit card payments, etc., all weighing them down subconsciously, they walk in a liberty in God that just doesn't exist otherwise.  When people see the marvelous provision of God that frees them once and for all from financial bondage, they discover an ability to believe God's Word in a dimension they've never walked in before.

Whether there is a direct correlation between total financial freedom, coupled with the ability to obey God at a moment's notice without any concern as to monetary costs and the ability to walk in the midst of the kinds of signs and wonders that draw people like a magnet to know the God of this kind of liberty, it is my conviction that God is doing this NOW so as to free those who will be on the cutting edge of the "greater works" that Jesus promised from all financial constraints.

What I've just described, however, is only one side of this Global Currency Reset, the Basel III Protocols and the Babylon II software.  There's more to come, and that's where we'll go next week.

Blessings on you!
