Words to my heart (8/28)     
8/28 I felt that these words were impressed on my heart:
Fear not child, things are unfolding as they should. Soon an event will take place that will shock the world and change it forever more. Darkness, much darkness is coming. There will be upheavals, war, conflagration ( a large destructive fire). Do not dismay  for He  will be with thee. Just a little while yet before He comes.  Yeshua promises- soon, soon it will be that He will embrace His bride forevermore. Until that day, stand firm in
His promises that He loves us and is
with is. Nothing is more precious to Him than His Bride and He will see that she is protected in the days ahead. Fear not, draw close to Him
and He  will give us comfort and rest. Things are about to unfold-in the twinkling of an eye.

Man thinks he can arrange the future as he desires, but I AM is more powerful than any man. He will confound the wise, protect the feeble and the innocent from the atrocities of darkness.
Cry out, cry out for the redemption of mankind. Cry out for salvation with weeping, in sackcloth and ashes. Reach out, in love to the hurting and the lost while there is yet time. The harvest is ripe yea the workers are few. Many sit watching and waiting; child it is time to reap, time to reap, time to reap!

Pray for those who are pregnant with child at this time, and those with child who suckles at their breast.  Where are the sheep? Where is the Bride, yea they have gone astray and sleep and slumber. The time is now to wake up, wake up, wake up for the day of Judgement is at hand. Again He says - your ways are not
My ways, lean not unto your own understanding, yea follow Him
and He will direct your path.

Isa 17,42
Jer 49:16
Hosea 2:12-13

As in all things, please use discernment and seek counsel from the Holy Spirit.

Back From the Dead, With a Message



Jim Bramlett (29 Aug 2013)
"Back from the dead, with a message!"




Disclaimer:  As with any private revelation, use your discernment.

Dear friends:

The other day I received a telephone call from a minister friend in Kentucky.  He called to tell me about the death experience of another friend of his, Gerald W., in a nearby small Kentucky town.

One day recently 47-year-old Gerald suddenly collapsed from a heart attack and died.  EMTs tried to revive him, but there were no vital signs and he was declared dead.  He said he was dead for about 45 minutes.  It's what happened while dead that got my interest.

I prefer to personally check such stories out myself, so I got Gerald's telephone number.  I called him, and introduced myself, saying I just wanted a first-hand description of what happened  He was very gracious, and explained.

Gerald said that while dead, he met Jesus, who showed him heaven.  Jesus then showed him hell.  It was the hell experience that was the most moving, and I believe the one that Jesus wants communicated to others by people like you and me.

The thing that impressed him the most about hell was the stench, or odor, that permeated the place.  It was like burning flesh.  He said it was absolutely horrible.  It was a place to be avoided at all costs.  Sadly, Gerald saw his late father there in hell.

Gerald recovered but his death experience is engraved in his mind.

Gerald himself had been a born-again Christian for many years, but he had not been as serious about his faith as he should have been.

The message he received from Jesus is that the time is extremely short and that His return is imminent.  There is not much time left.  It is time for everyone to get very serious about Jesus.  To unbelievers He will come as a thief in the night.  Let us be ready and looking for him.

I believe Gerald had a valid experience.  Come, Lord Jesus!

Jim

The Firefighter's Prayer-- In Memory



The Firefighter's Prayer



When I am called to duty, God, whenever flames may rage;

Give me strength to save some life, whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child before it is too late

Or save an older person from the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout,

And quickly and efficiently to put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me,

To guard my every neighbor and protect his property.

And if, according to my fate, I am to lose my life;

Please bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife.

My Journey Out of the New Age









   I grew up in a household that was involved in the New Age.  My parents were into astrology, palmistry, contacting spirits with the Ouija board, levitating tables, Edgar Cayce, and reincarnation. We also were nominal Protestants and attended church.
   I went to my first psychic fair at the age of 13. I went to a medium several times. I did astrology charts and tarot cards.
   I bought a book called "A Course in Miracles". It is a book that is diametrically opposed to the gospels, yet subtly deceptive, so that those without a strong religious background, can be easily deceived by it. The book was channeled through an atheist psychologist named Helen Schucman in collaboration with William Thetford. The material for the book was channeled from a disembodied entity calling itself "Jesus" over a period of several years. From 1971-1978 William Thetford, along with David Saunders, was head of a project called MK Ultra. MK Ultra is a form a psychological bondage and mind control, which some feel is used today in the entertainment and music industries.
   The Course in Miracles said such things as, "the crucifixion did not establish the atonement, the resurrection did". Or in other words Christ did not die for your sins. It says there is no such thing as evil or sin. The best book I have read, about someone who also was involved with the New Age, and the Course in Miracles, is entitled, "The Light that was Dark" by Warren Smith. He sat down with a legal pad and wrote down the major themes of the Bible and the Course in Miracles. He compared and contrasted them. He said that if the Bible was of Christ, and he believed that it was, then the Course in Miracles was the Holy Bible turned upside down, or the antithesis of the Bible. It was anti-Christ.
   I started attending church on a regular basis at the age of 25. After a short stint as a Unitarian and anti-nuclear activist, I was baptized Catholic at the age of 32. When I was baptized, I renounced Satan and his pomps and works. After 20+ years in the New Age, this was a good thing. I threw out several large bags of New Age books, including the Course in Miracles.
   However, I wasn't immediately delivered from the New Age, when I became Catholic. Unfortunately the church I chose to join had a priest and three young women that were receiving messages from "Jesus" and "Mary". On most Thursday nights the priest, would stand in front of the congregation and channel messages from "Jesus" and "Mary". For several years I believed these messages, and Marian apparitions, such as Medjugorje, were from God. After several years, through discernment of the messages, I realized that the Marian apparitions and messages were from the same source as the New Age channeled messages.
   I was Catholic for 21 years. After I left the Catholic church, I was a Baptist for 7 months. The Baptist church did not recognize my Catholic baptism as valid, although it was an adult baptism by immersion. The Baptist church was Biblically based, warm, and friendly, but I found that I missed a liturgical style of worship. I am now a Lutheran.
   Many who are involved in the New Age are sincere spiritual seekers and have no idea that the being they are serving is not God, certainly not the Jesus of the Bible, who died for our sins. The two big lies from the garden of Eden are, you shall be as gods, and you shall not die. But Hebrews 9:27 says, "it is appointed unto man once to die and then comes the judgment". We only live once. That makes this short life on earth much more valuable. And we do not become gods. We are sinners in need of a Savior.
   All that glitters is not gold. The New Age looks so enticing, so inviting.  Only in surrendering to a God who is greater than ourselves can we truly be set free.
   I think some New Agers have a stereotype of  Christians as being narrow minded polyannas. However, many of us are prodigals and come from backgrounds of lives filled with every sin imaginable. A person does not have to be living a holy life to come to God. God will meet you right where you are. And he will lead you home.

Is the Illuminati Real?




   Some people believe that there is a secretive, shadowy, group called the Illuminati that basically rules the world. They believe that the Illuminati is active in areas of government, banking, entertainment, business, and even religion, to name a few. Do I believe there is such a group? Yes, I do. However, my areas of interest are in music and religion. I do not choose to follow what some feel is the influence of the Illuminati in current events or in politics.
   There are conspiracy theorists, all over the internet, who would find a conspiracy, behind such events, as the Boston Marathon bombing or the recent explosion near Waco, Texas, on the 20th anniversary of the Waco disaster. I choose not to go there. As the saying goes, "it is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness". To plant bombs full of shrapnel near human beings and families like that of Denise, Bill, Martin, and Jane Richard is evil. To me, we all have choices in life and it is much better to choose life, not death, and good, not evil. When does a person get so twisted that good becomes evil and evil becomes good?
   Then there is the world of music. There are so many  talented and creative people who seem to be sold out to the powers that be in the industry. Reality tv is my guilty pleasure and American Idol is my favorite, although my favorite Idol singers, Adam Lambert, Clay Aiken, and Crystal Bowersox all finished 2nd, even though they each outsold the "winner" for their respective season. All of the judges appear to have strong Illuminati ties. It's a high paying job. Follow the money.
   If there was a poster child for the Illuminati puppet action figure, it would surely be Madonna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, or more recently Nicki Minaj. After Nicki's exorcism appearance on the Grammys in 2012, I was researching her on my old computer and got the BSOD or blue screen of death. The computer totally crashed. It was DOA at the local computer repair store. This week she started talking in her British accent on Idol, something Rihanna and Britney have also done. At one point this season, she turned to Keith Urban and asked him, "do you have an alter ego when you perform?" He said, "no". Speaking in a British accent and having an alter ego when performing, a Beyonce does with Sasha Fierce, can point to programming by handlers in the music industry. For information on programming and MK Ultra see Vigilant Citizen
   And then there is the world of religion. As one Luciferian said, "Christianity is ours, Christ is not." About half of the preachers who appear on religious tv, may have ties to the Masons or to the Illuminati. Some of these may be Dr. David Jeremiah, Rick Warren, Greg Laurie, and T. D. Jakes. There are those who claim that Dr. Billy Graham has ties with the New World Order.
   I don't understand the allure of power, fame, or money. Truly the best things in life are free. I cannot comprehend institutionalized darkness. Ultimately loves wins out over hate. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5  Each of us has a choice to make in this world. Will we serve light or darkness, goodness or evil? "This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses, therefore choose life, so that you and your descendants may live." Deuteronomy 30:19.

Living with Sarcoidosis





   Sarcoidosis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory, granulomatous, disease of unknown origin. Sarcoidosis is found in one in fifty Black Americans. This makes it much more common than sickle cell anemia. The death rate from sarcoidosis is 10% and has claimed Reggie White, pictured above, who died at age 43. He had cardiac and pulmonary involvement. Also Bernie Mac died at age 50 from sarcoidosis.

Other Celebrities with Sarcoidosis:

Karen Duffy
Floyd Mayweather
Evander Holyfield
Bill Russell
Daisy Fuentes
Tisha Campbell-Martin

To paraprase a sarcoidosis advocate called "the gardener", sarcoidosis is "kind of like other major diseases, but without the recognition, attention, sympathy, funding, treatment, or cure."

Karen Duffy has said about living with sarcoidosis, "I have mourned for my old life and I'm trying to figure out who I am now."

I have been living with sarcoidosis for 35 years. However, my illness was misdiagnosed for years, and only recently has been clarified. How does sarcoidosis affect me on a daily basis? Well, first of all, I had to quit my job as an RN, which was very difficult. I tolerate very little activity, about 2 hours of activity, outside the home, every other day. The sarcoidosis has affected my right eye, heart, lungs, and nervous system. I have daily pain which varies in intensity and chronic fatigue.
   Sarcoidosis is different for each person who has it. Some are still able to work, and then some die from the disease.
   Jen Barrick was involved in a near fatal collision and had this to say about living with a disability: "I want everyone who is broken or hurting to know that God can still use you. He doesn't look down on you. He looks on you more. The weakest people have done the most for God, because in our weakness He is strong. Don't ever be ashamed of your weakness. God wants you to see the potential of,who you are going to be with His help. He wants to bring beauty from your ashes and heal your wounded heart. God wants to use you where you are, as you are. And he promises to carry you on the days you can't see ahead."   Jen Barrick

   I would not have chosen to live with a chronic, painful, debilitating disease. But I am trying to make the best of the situation where I find myself. I have to find my worth and value outside of a profession I can no longer participate in. I am still here and there is always hope.
