During my afternoon “meditations,”—which I at least attempt quite regularly now—I have found out ludicrous and terrible things about my own character. Sitting by, watching the rising thoughts to break their necks as they pop up, one learns to know the sort of thoughts that do come.

And, will you believe it, one out of every three is the thought of self-admiration: when everything else fails, having had its neck broken, up comes the thought “what an admirable fellow I am to have broken their necks!” I catch myself posturing before the mirror, so to speak, all day long. I pretend I am carefully thinking out what to say to the next pupil (for his good, of course) and then suddenly realize I am really thinking how frightfully clever I’m going to be and how he will admire me…

And then when you force yourself to stop it, you admire yourself for doing that. It is like fighting the hydra… There seems to be no end to it. Depth under depths of self-love and self-admiration. (quoted in The Narnian by Alan Jacobs, 133)

Home & Church was meant to work together closer than most realise. One is the extension of the other. You take to church what you have at home – laughter & trust or heaviness & suspicion. You bring back ethos of church to home – acquittal or indictment. So what is the charge in the atmosphere of your home church or home & church? Is it charged with condemnation, accusation, judgement, fault finding, accusing others, conducting court on relatives or believers, neighbours or work mates? Or is it full with mercy, forgiveness, ease, peace, give & take.

What will one feel when they come to your home? What will someone “smell” around you? You know everybody carries a presence – not only God. What is the presence you carry? For long as I can remember I carried a presence that puts people into defensive mode. Just the way Aldus Huxley acted like Darwin’s Bulldog I acted like God’s Bulldog for holiness! All knew. Barking & may be sometimes biting! How about you? This weekend I found a most amazing judgement moratorium settled upon me. I could not see or remember other people’s wrongs. Some kind of Jubilee blown thru my heart & mind. I feel rested.

Whatever the charge of the atmos (ethos) is, it will facilitate conduction of like kind. These days I am hoping our home church will carry the charge of mercy. Atmos is electrified with mercy. Altar is no more fire breathing – Sinai or Carmel style. We first say – down with Baal. Then we say down with Catholics. Then we say down with Anglicans & other older Protestants. Later we say down with Old wineskin Pentecostals who obstruct the new thing. It is a kind of bloody purge – of course not with the physical guillotine that Robespierre used on Danton & other multitudes of French nobility, but with the verbal guillotine of Pentecostal prophecy & prayer. You know I am a seven star Pentecostal. It is the unholy glossalalia that has caused so much damage. Fiery words in prophecy, witchcraft prayers, spiritual warfare missiles – pastor against believer, believer against believer, old revival against new revival, Toddley vs Oddley and so on.
Of course fire never leaves the altar. Lev 6:11. The same fire that scorches can produce the much needed warmth in bitterly cold seasons. Let church be the warm fire place everybody loves when the world enters nuclear winter. Everybody has pleasant memories about warm fire places or BBQ night. Remember the golden altar of incense – sweet fragrance on warm coals. Let’s be like that.

Yes let the church altar be the place for the sparrow & swallow to keep her young. Ps 84:1-3. Let Baca (weeping) turn to Berechah (praise). Let Marah (bitterness) turn to Naomi (Pleasant). Let streams arise in the Negev. And laughter fill our mouth. Ps 126. When God revered the captivity of Zion – O God the whole world is waiting for this. Dream again – happiness of God. John Piper’s famous theme – Christian Hedonism. I am having a jolly good time with God & God’s people – who are God’s delight. Excellent ones. Ps 16:6-11. All my boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. In His presence s the fullness of Joy and at His right hands our pleasures for evermore.

Ich habe auf der Webseite Apostolic Sceptre von Dr. Lalith Mendis folgenden Artikel gefunden:

(In 1973 David Wilkerson published the book THE VISION. The following research was prepared to compare the prophetic statements in THE VISION to subsequent news reports.)
David Patterson 3/13/09

THE VISION by David Wilkerson (1973)

1) ECONOMIC CONFUSION

A) Economic Crash Coming

• There is worldwide economic confusion just ahead. In my vision this is the clearest thing I have seen… Not only is the American Dollar headed for deep trouble, but so are all other world currencies. I see total economic confusion striking Europe first and then affecting Japan , the United States , Canada and all other nations shortly thereafter.” (P13:p1-2)

B) Everyone Will Be Affected

“…A recession of such magnitude that it will affect the lifestyle of nearly every wage earner in America and around the world. Countries that now control huge amounts of Western currency are going to be in very deep trouble also. Arab countries will be especially hurt. ” (P13: p3)

“The net worth of American households fell by the largest amount in over a half century of record keeping during the fourth quarter of last year.” Associated Press, 3/12/09

C) Economists Confused

• “The world’s greatest economists will be at a loss to explain the confusion and an international crisis of fear will develop.

“It is no surprise that the overwhelming majority of economists… Ben Bernanke apparently among them, have been as surprised by the train wreck now hurling toward our economy as has been the laity. Economists are at a loss regarding how to avoid the train wreck… no [one] would ever suspect that the economics profession would be as unprepared and helpless to deal with that calamity as the profession has shown itself to be.” The Daily Princetonian, 2/08/09

D) False Boom

• A false economic boom will precede the recession – but it will be short lived.” (P13-14: p4)

Oct. 1, 2007— Dow rockets to all-time high, closes above 14,000
Mar. 2, 2009 — Dow at twelve-year low closes under 7000 ,

E) A Few Good Years to Prepare

• The next few years (from 1973) will be among the most prosperous in the history of mankind….Sales will continue to break records and people will spend more than ever in modern history.

“ Family net worth had hit an all-time high of $64.36 trillion in the April-June quarter of 2007 but has fallen in every quarter since that time.” Associated Press, 3/12/09

F) Uncontrolled Credit Debt

• Credit debt will become nearly uncontrollable. I see, very clearly, just a few years of tremendous affluence and continued economic prosperity. Inflation, costs and wages will spiral higher and higher. ” (P14: p1-3)

“…Up to 45 percent of the world’s wealth has been destroyed by the global credit crisis.“ Reuters, 3/10/09

G) Bankruptcies of Major Corporations

• I believe we are going to witness the bankruptcies of some of this nations major and most popular corporations. I see tremendous difficulty arising for credit corporations. There are going to be many people unable to pay off their heavy obligations to major credit card companies, causing near chaos. Thousands of small businesses will also be forced into bankruptcies.

i.e.: Lehman Bros., Washington Mutual, IndyMac Bancorp, Peanut Corporation of America, Sharper Image, Linens ‘N Things, Circuit City

H) Government Panic

• The United States government is going to “overreact” to the confused economical developments…. I see a flurry of near-panic decisions being made by various government agencies – but these hasty efforts to shore up the economy will backfire.

Recent bailouts, stimulus packages, etc.

I) Auto Industry Hit Hard

• The auto industry is going to be badly hurt. Makers of recreational vehicles are going to get hit very hard.

Recent events: GM, Chrysler, Toyota posted first loss in 50 years…etc.

J) Building Industry Setbacks
• The building industry is going to face many setbacks. Housing starts will level off. There is a terrible squeeze coming to the building industry.

“ Since 2004 when builders on the Business Journal’s Top 25 list constructed 2673 homes… the number of home starts dropped 61% through the end of 2008. “ Business Journal, 2/14/09

K) Gold Will Not Provide Security

• The price of gold is going to rise astronomically but it will not be sustained over a long period of time…neither silver nor gold will offer real security. Gold hoarders are going to get hurt badly. This is one of the most significant predictions in this book.

The London P.M. Fix price for gold in 1973 was $65 per ounce, in March 2008 it reached an all time high of $1,002. Currently sitting at $970 per ounce.

L) New World Monetary System

• There will develop a call for revamping all world monetary systems into one uniform system.

“ European Central Bank council member Ewald Nowotny said that a tri-polar global currency system is developing between Asia, Europe and the US and that he is skeptical the US dollar’s centrality can be revived. ” Bloomberg Financial Times, 10/19/08

M) Suicide by Overdose

• Economic setbacks and confusion will catch many unprepared for the consequences. Suicide will follow…from overdoses of sleeping pills and other chemical sedatives…Some very well-known people in the business world are going to commit suicide through overdoses of narcotics.

N) Social Aid Programs Will Be Cut

• Social aid programs are going to be cut back and curtailed and minority groups are going to be affected the most. These cutbacks, along with the curtailment of many government projects, will cause widespread unemployment among these groups.

“ NY Gov: Rising deficit requires health care cuts ” Reuters UK 8/11/08

2) DRASTIC WEATHER & EARTHQUAKES

A) Drastic Weather Changes

• The world is about to witness the beginnings of great sorrows brought about by history’s most drastic weather changes, earthquakes, floods terrible calamities – far surpassing anything ever yet witnessed.

“ The eight warmest years on record (since 1850) have all occurred since 1998 with the warmest year being 2005 .” Environmental Protection Agency website 2/18/09

“ 88,011 people were killed in earthquakes in 2008, with the largest number dying in China and Pakistan. In 2000, 231 people died worldwide in earthquakes. ” United States Geological Society

B) Famine

• Famine is coming to the world in our generation and millions will die of starvation…

“ Last year the number of the world’s hungry surged from 854 million to 967 million due to the steep climb in prices of staple foods. UN News Centre, 3/9/09

• Snowless winters will bring dismal crop production and famine conditions in central and western Russia . India , Pakistan and all of southeast Asia, and Africa will be especially hard hit.

“ Snowless Winter in Russia : With Russia having the weirdest snowless winter in living memory, Moscow is literally importing tons of snow from Eastern Siberia to provide for an international skiing event. Russia would normally be covered with a thick layer of sparkling snow by the end of November, but this year vast regions of the country… have not had a flake of snow with just ten days to go before the new year. ” The Hindu, India ‘s National Newspaper, 12/23/08

C) Depletion of Relief Funds

• Relief and disaster funds will become nearly depleted. Insurance companies will face huge losses.

“ The Red Cross has depleted its disaster relief fund and is now borrowing money to pay for moving volunteers and supplies across the country to help with what the spokesman said were silent disasters. ” The Chronicle of Philanthropy, 6/25/08

D) Outbreaks of Epidemics

• In the aftermath of famine, floods and earthquakes, mankind faces the threat of new epidemics. There will a major cholera epidemic sweeping through various underdeveloped countries. India and Pakistan face the threat of untold thousands dying from epidemic and starvation.

Some 88,000 people have now been affected by cholera in Zimbabwe , the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) announced today. ..Nearly 4,000 have died from the disease which is caused by contaminated foor or water, the agency said. UN News Centre, 3/06/09

Cholera death toll in India rises: The death toll from an outbreak of cholera in the eastern Indian state of Orissa has risen to 115, officials say. The outbreak has affected Rayagada, Koraput and Kalahandi districts where more than 2,000 people have been admitted to hospitals, officials say. Doctors say contaminated food and water are to blame for the epidemic. BBC.com

3) FLOOD OF FILTH: MORAL DECLINE

A) Pornography on TV

• Be warned – in the not too distant future X-rated porno movies will be show on select cable networks after midnight.

• Also available will be the same triple x rated video tapes for private home use. These videotapes can be played on any TV set with an electronic attachment.

Larry Flint, the founder of Hustler magazine says “ You can now see on television material just as explicit as we were publishing in Hustler in 1974.” New York Times, 2/07/02

B) Sex Drug

• I believe a new sex drug will be concocted and distributed by the black market to teenagers and students. It will break down moral restraint and lead thousands of teenagers into promiscuous sex activity.

Ecstacy gained popularity in the 1980s. “ Adolescents and young adults use [ecstasy] to promote euphoria, feelings of closeness, empathy, sexuality and to reduce inhibitions.” US Drug Enforcement Administration

C) Teenage alcoholism

• Teenage alcoholism will increase. We are going to face a critical drinking problem with teenagers between thirteen and sixteen years of age.

“ Alcohol: The Number One Problem Among Teens: Alcohol use is the number one drug problem among young people. Teenagers are drinking younger and more frequently than before. They often start around age 13, according to studies. Young people almost always begin drinking because of peer pressure. They try to be accepted and included in the group. According to a national survey, 11 percent of eighth graders, 22 percent of tenth graders and 29 percent of twelfth graders had engaged in “binge” drinking within the past two weeks. ” Health A-Z website

]]> Some real good prophetic insight about the coming judgement and shaking of all things that can be shaken. For such a time as this! We live in very exciting days and Jesus is coming soon. The Bible has more to say about this time that we live in than about any other time in the history of mankind. The Day of Man is about to end and the Day of the Lord is at hand! Blow the trumpet for the church, He is drawing near. The Feast of tabernacles is at hand and “of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”

BETHLEHEM OR JERUSALEM (Dr. Lalith Mendis)
Bethlehem is where Christ was born & Church began. Bethlehem in every age attracts hostile attention of kings & priest and the neglectful disdain of the innkeepers of the world. They think Bethlehem has no commercial or imperial significance. For God Bethlehem is precious. Bethlehem ‘s competitor is Jerusalem – brash & brainy, political & powerful, religious & ritualistic, economically energetic. That’s where the upward mobile make their pastures. Jerusalem is Political capital. Bethlehem is Spiritual Capital . Where will you invest? Where will you ask your child to cast his lot?

We who are called to Bethlehem can find it hard to keep focus on what God thinks is significant. Our peers say Jerusalem is great and run their rat races to get ahead. Digital media say it loud with dazzle. Becoming great in Bethlehem is what David did unseen by all seen only by God. One day he became king. With Christ birth little Bethlehem became famous.

FIVEFOLD FETTERS OF JOSEPH (Dr. Lalith Mendis)

(20) The king sent and set him free; the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

Until this time, it seems as if Joseph’s brothers, Ishmaelites, Potiphar or Prison head was controlling Joseph’s destiny. Yet the Lord was directing Joseph to the place (prison) where he would make contact with a person from the court of Pharaoh.

• Joseph facing the competition and deception of brothers was tied with the parental root of Jacob deceiving Isaac and Rebecca deceiving Laban. Unknown to us our family roots may work against us. Fetters of human love of a doting father who could not see himself less than Joseph – bowing down to him bound Joseph. Father himself did not receive and affirm Joseph’s heavenly oracle. Given to Jacob’s fond affection, Joseph would never have left home. A time has come when true fathers will not be a Saul but recognize the Davids and launch them.

• There are many who once received the multicoloured robe of the Father , now in a pit cast by envious brothers. These are unable to arise beyond the pitfalls of bitterness and walled in Churchianity.

• There are others sold under the slavery of carnal sin of Ishmael in their life . They could not get Ishmael out of them and lost the promise.

There are churches like Lot sitting at the gate of human greatness. There are churches that choose to be in tents like Abraham. God will raise kings from these churches with a kingly anointing to posses their territory. Lot will perish with the world’s Sodom . Yet God gives them a chance to come out. God did not even need 50 or 10. He needed one like Abraham who will walk blamelessly day after day. Gen 17:1.

• There are others who are labouring in the house of Potiphar for their secular career tempted also by Potiphar’s wife. The time has come for them to arise to greater things that God has for them. God will use them to transfer wealth from darkness to the kingdom of light if they can serve God alone rather than trying to serve God and mammon. They will conquer Mammon and Jezebel.

• Yet others have their feet cast into chains in prisons of men . Rev 2:8-11. But the hour has come all circumstances will work together for Joseph’s heaven destined promotion. The feet that had iron fetters will be placed on a golden footstool. The promise to the Church of Smyrna .
