The Lion King
When this movie came out, my eldest granddaughter,
was 3 years old. When they showed the movie
trailer on TV, she begged to go and see this movie.
I was hesitant, thinking it had a new age flavour to it. The LORD spoke to me to take her. So I did just that. I sat her down in her sit and the Lord sat me down in my seat and said "watch". He opened my eyes to the spiritual side of this story. I was weeping through the movie and I just knew I had to own that piece.
In the movie I see the whole role of "Christians".
Mufasa, is our Father, our KING Jesus. We are the
little lion cub,Simba. Scar, who is the devil, kills the King and blames his death on the of the king, Simba. Simba runs away and shirks his calling to be the next in line { Lion } to rule. This was the tactics of Scar all along.
You see SCAR will mark you with a scar of fear, by
somehow terrorizing you. That SCAR will continue to speak to you when you attempt to go forward in your calling and destiny! We all know that the devil is the father of lies. He cannot and will not tell the truth.
I wish to share an excerpt of lines spoken by Scar in this movie. I find them relevant for today's election we face. For we do face a Scar in our midst. See if you can decipher with whom these words relate.
"So it is with a heavy heart that I assume the throne. Yet, out of the ashes of the tradegy we shall arise to greet the dawning of a new era in which the lion and the hyena come together in a great and glorious future."
This statement is telling us that the lion is lowered to the level of the dispicable hyena, an unclean creature, and the hyena is elevated to equal status with the lion, King of the Jungle!
The National Geographic did a documentary on the hyena. The females have a false appendage like the male and they try to mate with their brothers and sisters. These creatures were not made glorious and they shouldn't be glorified, ever!
Jesus our King, came from the line { lion } of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Ishmael was cast out of the camp. He was allowed by God to grow and remain. Nonetheless, he and his seed have been the thorn in the side of the of Israel ( Jacob of Issac and of Abraham ),worldwide.
Israel is a nation of people who come from the lineage
of Jacob, who was called "Israel" by Elohim. So the of
Israel are not a people of a "land" but a people of a person !!!

Remembering our Jewish roots
Rosh Hashanah - The Jewish New Year
In Rabbinical Judaism, Rosh Hashanah
(literally "the head of the year" )
is celebrated as Jewish New Years Day.
The holiday is observed on the frist day
of the Hebrew month of Tishri,
which usually falls in September or
October, and marks the beginning of a ten-day
period of prayer, self examination
and repentance (aseret yemei teshuvah), which culminates on the fast day of Yom Kippur.
These ten days are referred to as Yamim Norai'm,
the Days of Awe or the High Holy Days.
Rosh Hashanah also remembers the creation of the
universe by Adonai.
This year Rosh Hashanah began on Sept 29th
in Israel at sundown and runs 10 days.
Yom Kippur will be celebrated Oct. 9th after sundown.
Yom Kippur....the Day of Atonement
(at one ment with God). "For the
life of the flesh is in the blood, and
I have given it for you on the altar to
make atonement for your souls, for it
is the blood that makes atonement by the life." Lev 17v11
Prayers of Repentance Series of Seven

Tares or TAREorists ? A Word Study
|
Posted:Sep 29, 2008 2:17 am

"Let both grow together until the
harvest; and in the time of harvest
I will say to the reapers; 'Gather
ye together first the tares,
and bind them in bundles to burn
them, but gather the wheat unto
My barn.'" MATTHEW 13v30 KJV*
TARES or TAREorists
This is one of those words
that I hear by the Spirit
with a dual sound.
In doing a study of the word "tare",
we find that a tare looks just like the
wheat during the growing season up until
about 3 days before the harvest. It then
turns BLACK and shows its true color.
If it gets mixed in with the wheat it
poisons the grain. Jesus made a very
strong and plain distinction about
the trouble the tare brings to the
good seed and to the harvest.
May all who have ears to hear, hear
what the Spirit of the Lord is saying.

How the Democrats Created the Financial Crisis

Be sure to read the highlighted
items near the end at least.
How the Democrats Created
the Financial Crisis: Kevin Hassett
Commentary by Kevin Hassett
Sept. 22 (Bloomberg) -- The financial crisis of the
past year has provided a number of surprising twists
and turns, and from Bear Stearns Cos. to American
International Group Inc., ambiguity has been a big
part of the story.
Why did Bear Stearns fail, and how does that relate
to AIG? It all seems so complex.
But really, it isn't. Enough cards on this table
have been turned over that the story is now clear.
The economic history books will describe this
episode in simple and understandable terms: Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac exploded, and many bystanders
were injured in the blast, some fatally.
Fannie and Freddie did this by becoming a key
enabler of the mortgage crisis. They fueled Wall
Street's efforts to securitize subprime loans by
becoming the primary customer of all AAA-rated
subprime-mortgage pools. In addition, they held
an enormous portfolio of mortgages themselves.
In the times that Fannie and Freddie couldn't
make the market, they became the market. Over
the years, it added up to an enormous obligation.
As of last June, Fannie alone owned or guaranteed
more than $388 billion in high-risk mortgage
investments. Their large presence created an
environment within which even mortgage-backed
securities assembled by others could find a ready home.
The problem was that the trillions of dollars
in play were only low-risk investments if real
estate prices continued to rise. Once they began
to fall, the entire house of cards came down with them.
Turning Point
Take away Fannie and Freddie, or regulate them
more wisely, and it's hard to imagine how these
highly liquid markets would ever have emerged.
This whole mess would never have happened.
It is easy to identify the historical turning
point that marked the beginning of the end.
Back in 2005, Fannie and Freddie were, after
years of dominating Washington, on the ropes.
They were enmeshed in accounting scandals that
led to turnover at the top. At one telling moment
in late 2004, captured in an article by my
American Enterprise Institute colleague Peter
Wallison, the Securities and Exchange Comiission's
chief accountant told disgraced Fannie Mae chief
Franklin Raines that Fannie's position on the
relevant accounting issue was not even ``on the
page'' of allowable interpretations.
Then legislative momentum emerged for an attempt
to create a ``world-class regulator'' that would
oversee the pair more like banks, imposing strict
requirements on their ability to take excessive risks.
Politicians who previously had associated themselves
proudly with the two accounting miscreants were less
eager to be associated with them. The time was ripe.
Greenspan's Warning
The clear gravity of the situation pushed the
legislation forward. Some might say the current
mess couldn't be foreseen, yet in 2005 Alan
Greenspan told Congress how urgent it was for it
to act in the clearest possible terms: If Fannie
and Freddie ``continue to grow, continue to have
the low capital that they have, continue to engage
in the dynamic hedging of their portfolios, which
they need to do for interest rate risk aversion,
they potentially create ever-growing potential
systemic risk down the road,'' he said. ``We
are placing the total financial system of the
future at a substantial risk.''
What happened next was extraordinary. For the
first time in history, a serious Fannie and
Freddie reform bill was passed by the Senate
Banking Committee. The bill gave a regulator
power to crack down, and would have required
the companies to eliminate their investments
in risky assets.
Different World
If that bill had become law, then the world
today would be different. In 2005, 2006 and
2007, a blizzard of terrible mortgage paper
fluttered out of the Fannie and Freddie clouds,
burying many of our oldest and most venerable
institutions. Without their checkbooks keeping
the market liquid and buying up excess supply,
the market would likely have not existed.
But the bill didn't become law, for a simple
reason: Democrats opposed it on a party-line
vote in the committee, signaling that this
would be a partisan issue. Republicans, tied
in knots by the tight Democratic opposition,
couldn't even get the Senate to vote on
the matter.
That such a reckless political stand could
have been taken by the Democrats was obscene
even then. Wallison wrote at the time:
``It is a classic case of socializing the
risk while privatizing the profit. The
Democrats and the few Republicans who
oppose portfolio limitations could not
possibly do so if their constituents
understood what they were doing.''
Mounds of Materials
Now that the collapse has occurred, the roadblock
built by Senate Democrats in 2005 is unforgivable.
Many who opposed the bill doubtlessly did so for
honorable reasons. Fannie and Freddie provided
mounds of materials defending their practices.
Perhaps some found their propaganda convincing.
But we now know that many of the senators who
protected Fannie and Freddie,
including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton
and Christopher Dodd, have received mind-boggling levels of financial support from
them over the years.
Throughout his political career, Obama has gotten
more than $125,000 in campaign contributions from
employees and political action committees of Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac, second only to Dodd, the
Senate Banking Committee chairman, who received
more than $165,000.
Clinton, the 12th-ranked recipient of Fannie and
Freddie PAC and employee contributions, has received
more than $75,000 from the two enterprises and
their employees. The private profit found its way
back to the senators who killed the fix.
There has been a lot of talk about who is to blame
for this crisis. A look back at the story of 2005
makes the answer pretty clear.
Oh, and there is one little footnote to the story
that's worth keeping in mind while Democrats point
fingers between now and Nov. 4: Senator John McCain
was one of the three cosponsors of S.190, the bill
that would have averted this mess.
(Kevin Hassett, director of economic-policy studies
at the American Enterprise Institute, is a Bloomberg
News columnist. He is an adviser to Republican
Senator John McCain of Arizona in the 2008
presidential election. The opinions expressed are his own.)

PROPHETIC WORD I POSTED THAT HAS COME TO PASS !!!

Here is the repost of that message and
the effect being the near complete
economic collapse of America.
* 5/24/2008
The following letter, I penned early Friday
morning and sent it the White House care of
President Bush, and also, to my state's
Senators. If you feel as strongly as i
do about the furious storm politics has
created, you are welcome to copy the letter
and forward it to your home state Senators.
*
How long will the leaders of this United States continue to allow
"big businesses" to crumble this nation into a depression worse
than the great one of the past? ? ?
The American media states that the US uses less fuel than
India and China, who have experienced strong economic
growth in the last few years ! They are benefiting from
all the job losses due to corporations throwing all the work
their way and undercutting the American people who gave
way to the groundwork of most of those businesses beginnings.
Someone had better throw on the brakes and bring things to
a screeching halt and I mean right now ! ! ! I saw something
terrible coming in the past 5 years. This storm is going to be an
implosion much like the Twin Towers of New York going down
in powder and dust ! ! !
Animals are wonderful creatures. They are cute and lovable,
but if we make them more important than a human life, who will
the Animals have to love them? There are ways of giving homes
and space to the wild creatures without stopping the processing
of fuel reserves that are already for harvest. Meanwhile, we could
get the price of fuel for this country under control and hopefully,
industries won't delay to research ways and means of decreasing
our dependence on fossil fuels.
We are wasting all the natural resources at our disposal by not using
wind generators especially in the Midwest. Unlike one woman who
said she was "finally proud of America", I am losing pride in this
country for all the ignorance of those in leadership who don't seem
to use the common sense that God gave them. I am not pointing
this finger at George Bush either ! ! ! The blame goes to the other
politicians and big businesses that are destroying this nation and
don't give a damn except that they are so greedy for a dollar that
they will kill the future of this nation for all people and even the future
of their and grandchildren.
WAKE UP AND STOP THIS ANNIHILATION ! ! ! !
A Very Concerned Citizen

During the last five years of his
tenure as CEO of Lehman Brothers,
Richard Fuld's total take was $354 million.
The current chairman of Merrill Lynch,
who's been on the job just nine months,
pocketed a $15 million signing bonus.
His predecessor, Stan O'Neal, retired
with a package valued at $161 million
after the company reported an 8 billion
dollar loss in a single quarter.
And remember Bear Stearns chairman
James Cayne? After the company collapsed
and was up for sale at bargain prices, he
sold his stake for more than $60 million.
And the former heads of Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac, the gods who failed, are
fighting to keep severance packages of
close to $24 million combined on top of
the millions in salary each earned last
year while slaughtering the golden calf.
As it is written in the gospel according
to me first, when the going gets tough,
the tough get going.

If the CEO's don't stop robbing America
the fate may be so worse for their
and their 's . The LORD
hears the cry of those who are oppressed
by those who bring harm through their
wicked ways.
