Is It Conviction Or Guilt?~Jack Kelley


Is It Conviction Or Guilt?

Q. I have a quick question. How do you know if it is the Holy Spirit convicting you or if it is Satan working on you to make you feel bad and draw you away from God? Thank you very much for your studies and website it has helped me greatly.

A. The answer can be determined by checking which direction you’re going. If you’re headed for the cross to find forgiveness, then you’re experiencing the conviction of the Holy Spirit. If you’re running away from the cross and hiding from God, then it’s Satan making you feel ashamed. Either way, you can ask God’s forgiveness and you’ll receive it and begin feeling better ( 1 John 1:9). Then if you resist the devil he’ll flee from you (James 4:7) and you’ll be at peace again.

Social "Spy" Network? This is True in America, China, Israel and Russia: I Spy Twitter





First round in Internet war goes to Iranian intelligence

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

June 28, 2009

Millions of sympathizers around the world looked forward to seeing Iran's protest movement using the Internet for the first online coup in history. Instead, the Iranian Islamic regime turned the tables: Its Internet police, arguably the largest in the world, pushed "control," "halt," "delete" and "send" buttons to activate a deadly weapon for suppressing the movement, as soon as it took to the streets to protest the June 12 election which was believed to have given Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a false victory.

By Sunday, June 28, when the Guardian Council was to hand down its final verdict on their complaints, the street rallies had petered out.

Part of the reason, DEBKAfile's intelligence sources report, was their organizers' heavy reliance on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and other social sites to orchestrate their protest movement. They did not at first appreciate that Iranian intelligence Internet experts, operating from secret headquarters established months ago, were using their communications to shoot them down.

According to our sources, that headquarters is located at the telecom center on Sepah (Khomenei) Square in Tehran. It was built for the Shah in the 1970s by the Israel construction contractors Solel Boneh and designed by Israeli intelligence and telecommunications experts.

The high-end apparatus, installed in late 2008 by the German Siemens AG and Finnish Nokia Corp. cell phone giant, gave Iranian intelligence the most advanced tools anywhere for controlling, inspecting, censoring and altering Internet and cell phone messaging. Those tools were being used weeks before the poll to identify penetrations by alien spy services, their local agents and dissident activists.

This system is capable of conducting "deep packet inspection" of every type of text and video communication in all parts of Iran on three tracks:

1. Like other advanced electronic spy systems in the world, this one uses such keywords as attack, weapons, cash, data, explosives, meeting, demonstration, resistance, protest, etc. to alert Iran within milliseconds to feeds of interest by computer or phone - mail, signals or visuals.

In a flash, intelligence analysts get a fix on the sender and the electronic addressee which are then placed on a surveillance list for further monitoring. Once identified, the sender or receiver and their connections are closely shadowed by field agents.

2. By "deep packet inspection," the secret controllers can cause delays in online data transfers, which surfers may attribute to glitches connected with their providers. The more targets under surveillance, the more online transfers are slowed down.

DEBKAfile's Iranian sources report that the day after the presidential poll and resulting street outbreaks, Iran's Internet control and tracking supervisors took over the 10 leading service providers in the country. Their first action was to slow down incoming and outgoing cyber traffic from 1,500 to 54 kilobytes to make sure that not a single byte by Internet or cell phone to or from protest leaders escaped their notice.

Tehran has vented its ire on Britain because it is accused of providing the organizers of the dissident movement with London telephone numbers to circumvent the deliberate slowdown of online traffic from inside the country. These numbers gave anti-government activists instant, direct links through Western Internet providers for getting their messages out to the world. Iran suspects they were laid on by British intelligence.

Eventually, the British lines became jammed by overload.

3. Iranian intelligence made cynical use of the large amount of electronic and personal data accumulated on anti-regime elements. Instead of detaining their prey at once, Iranian intelligence invaded their computers and cell phones to plant false leads for smoking unsuspecting activists out in the open and keeping them under inspection.

Within a few days of their protest, Mir Hossein Mousavi and the bulk of his supporters, realizing their electronic campaign had been taken over by the regime to hunt them down, disappeared from the streets of Tehran.

Wednesday, June 24, when the extent of the damage the Iranian Internet invasion had inflicted on American interests was brought home to him, US secretary of defense Robert Gates ordered a special cyber defense system set up to protect the US armed forces' 15,000 Web sites, which encompass seven million computers. Lt. Gen. Keith Alexander, head of the National Security Agency, was put in charge of getting the new system up and running by the end of 2010.

Tuesday, June 23, a group of US senators led by the Republic presidential candidate John McCain and independent Joe Lieberman initiated legislation to fund a cyber defense system capable of combating Internet assaults like the one mounted by the Iranian government.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has pancreatic cancer, a news report said on Monday.

Seoul's news channel network YTN television reported Monday that Kim, 67, was diagnosed with the cancer around the time he was felled by a stroke last summer.

The report cited unidentified intelligence officials in South Korea and China.

Comments from South Korea's spy agency were not immediately available.

Kim's health is a focus of intense media speculation due to concerns about instability and a power struggle if he were to die without naming a successor.

Living In Heaven, Reigning On Earth?~Jack Kelley



Living In Heaven, Reigning On Earth?

Q. I have further questions on your article of June 25th. In it you say we will live in heaven with Christ, and yes I understand our home (or mansion) will be made there. How does Revelation 20:4-6 fit into this? If we are reigning with Christ for that 1000 years it must be on earth. God reigns in heaven forever and there is no other need to reign there.

A. You’re making an assumption that sounds logical but isn’t necessarily so. Who says we have to live on Earth? John 14:2-3 clearly says that Jesus went to Heaven to prepare a place for us there, and that’s where He’s going to take us in the Rapture. Rev. 20:4-6 says that those from the first resurrection will reign with Christ, but it says nothing about where we’ll live.

We find out from Rev. 21 that the home He built for us and will take us to is the New Jerusalem which is seen coming down out of heaven. But it never says that it lands on Earth. In fact a comparison of its dimensions shows that it’s too big to fit in Israel or any other place on Earth. Personally, I believe the New Jerusalem, which is 1/6th the size of Earth, will orbit Earth in close proximity like a satellite would. From there we’ll reign with Christ.

Global Financial Reform~R.Scott Sykes M.D.


Sunday, July 12, 2009

"Global Financial Reform"

We see the terms frequently - almost daily - "Global Finance", "Global Financial System", "Global Currency". Years ago, such a concept was scoffed at as impossible. I can still recall similar reactions when Hal Lindsey, in his book "The Late Great Planet Earth", proposed the ideas of a "United States of Europe" (now known as the European Union -- extended now to the Mediterranean Union) which would include a central currency for this union. It seemed impossible at the time, but here we are in 2009 and we have the Euro, exactly as predicted.

Similarly, we are seeing the genesis of a world financial system, with a central control and a central currency. I can recall speaking on and discussing this topic almost a decade ago, and seeing similar (skeptical) reactions. Now we read these proposals almost daily in the news and no one even blinks.

This week, we see yet another summary of this situation, stemming from the G-8 meeting: Roundup: G8 summit in push for global financial reform". In this article we see some interesting quotes:

"Leaders from the Group of Eight (G8) industrialized countries and emerging economies are expected to make a new push for reform of the global financial system when they meet..."

"As the host, Italy has put it high on the agenda of the three-day summit to revamp the global financial system and rewrite the ground rules for world economic activities."

"Leaders from the group of 20 (G20) major economies met for the first time on the financial crisis in Washington last November, marking the beginning of the global financial reform....and an overhaul of international financial institutions."

An "overhaul of international financial institutions"? What exactly are these "world leaders" doing? Unfortunately, the details from these meetings are never disclosed.

From biblical prophecy, we know that the antichrist and his "partner-in-crime" the false prophet (i refuse to capitalize these "titles") will seize control of the world's financial system and implement the Mark of the Beast.

What I find amazing, is the fact that the road is already being paved for this financial system to occur. The antichrist will have FAR less work, once he gains power, than previously imagined. The world's economic crisis (whether it is real or perceived) has created the perfect scenario for a world leader to emerge and take control of the world economy. We aren't quite there yet, but the progress towards a world financial system, including "central control" is ominously marching forward.

In a somewhat related news story, we watch the continuing battle for the "permanent" EU president, as the Lisbon Treaty finalization approaches. In this France International News article (read here), we see some interesting quotes, but one stood out:

"If we have (the treaty of Lisbon), I personally hope that the first council president will be someone strong and ambitious, because Europe deserves it."

Strong and ambitious, indeed. Bible prophecy would agree.

How do I not live in the world and still have fun and friends?


Question posted on Yahoo! Answers: What do you think about this? ok recently i have been coming closer to god and have been learning by reading the bible everyday….but im scared….like of friends leaving me because there always going out and ill be at home trying my best not to leave into the “world”…i’ve been there already and learned that you always have this empty feeling in you…(well from my experiences) but i want to change its just really hard and i’ve asked god to help me be stronger…..i’ve changed music to christian but all around me there just seems to be parties and people going crazy.



The aspect of growing up is daunting, but it is called growing up. You already know the answer because you have questions and doubts about the party hearty till we die routine and you already have made some changes.

When I was a child I spoke as a Child;


What do you want to be? Really. Look around, you can see the end better than Old Folks like me can and you know where your Old Friends are headed if not already there....,

They are stuck in the muck.

You aren't are you? You have started a direction that seems stumbling, fumbling, even grumbling at times, but you know yourself you don't want to go back.

Little Pilgrim is a Song you hear by Love Song off YouTube if you look it up.

Listen to the Words....,

When you are done hearing them, this will make sense:

Sharia Finance: Javelin Goes Jihad

If you have money with a broker, bank, investment house, and you haven't done this already - tell your money manager not to invest your good, hard earn dough in them in sharia finance - NO ISLAMIC FINANCE. These funds are halal - so whole American businesses wil be destroyed - tobacco, alcohol, pork, and some entertainment. And your money will fund "zakat" - Islamic charity, jihad funding. Think Holy land Foundation.

Sharia finance will destroy whole sectors of the American economy. Why would you finance the ideology that wants to slit your throat - not to mention their plan for your daughters

If your money is in Javelin, get it out.

Firm launches first U.S. Shariah-compliant ETF
Javelin Investment offering adheres to Islamic principles

The latest iteration of social and religious investment screens hit the market on the last trading day of June with the launch of the JETS Dow Jones Islamic Market International Index Fund (JVS). The exchange traded fund is not only the first product offering from Princeton, N.J.-based Javelin Investment Management LLC, but it is also the first American ETF to adhere to Islamic beliefs about investing and finance. " The total population of Muslims in the United States is estimated to be 2.35 million, according to a 2007 report released by the Pew Research Center in Washington.

Entering The Mission Field~Ranting Remnant


Entering The Mission Field
Back to Full Blog

As you walk out the doors of Calvary Tri-City look up, over those doors are the words “You Are Now Entering The Mission Field”. There is no reminder that is more appropriate.

How many of us read and take to heart it’s meaning?

They are nice words, a message worth contemplating on as we go home to eat, watch the game or some other social/secular activity.

These words should be over the inside of the doors of our homes, on the sun visors of our cars.

And all too sadly in some cases on the outside of the doors going into our homes and cars.

Has your neighbor heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
Why Not? In the City it’s just a few short steps to their doors, in the country it’s just a stroll down the lane.

How about your family? Have you taught your children and your children’s children the precepts of G_D and the saving grace of Jesus Christ and Him crucified?

Why Not? Prov. 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

Are you leaving a spiritual inheritance to your children or a material inheritance?

Why Not? Matt. 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: Matt. 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

And more importantly have you been an example of Christ or are your children right in seeing your example and calling all Christians Hypocrites?

Your coworkers? Your friends and associates? The waitress in the donut shop or the clerk at the store register? All need to hear the good news.

It’s easy to talk with people about sports, movies, the economy, crime, wars and natural disasters.

Why should sharing the most life impacting gift ever given, be so hard? G_D’s Word Tells us that “ For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2Tim. 1:7. “So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” Heb. 13:6

Why are we so meek, when in Christ , with His Spirit “In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.” Eph. 3:12 . That “According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.“ Phil. 1:20

It’s when we realize that we can effect more change in our homes, Neighborhoods, City’s, Counties, State, Government and the World by following and obeying what Jesus commanded us to do in Mark 16:15. The words Jesus said are clear “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” The Gospel of Jesus Christ will impact the world more than any stimulus package could hope to.

Jesus died for everyone, not just some. I at times forget that, He died for Osama bin Laden, (if he had heard and accepted the Gospel do you think that he would have founded Al Qaeda?) Jesus died for Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Barrak Obama. He died for the drug addict, the drug dealer, the prostitute and the pimp. the swindler and the thief. He died for the homosexual, the pedophile, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Rosie O’Donal, Paris Hilton and the other rich and shameless, He is Messiah to all or He is Messiah to none.

Have we forgotten we are Christ’s ambassadors? Do we think we can leave it up to a handful of missionary’s to fulfill the great commission. Supporting those brave souls called to take the message of Christ to other countries is wonderful, but it does not let us off the hook with our own mission field and our Lord’s command to preach the gospel to those within our sphere of influence. Our financial support does not give us a pass to sit back like the “frozen chosen” and let others do our job.

Those of us who have received the gift of Salvation and understand Biblical prophecy know that G_D’s Word is alive. We know that the world is in the condition it’s in due to sin. We know that we cannot through our works set up the kingdom of G_D here on earth. We know that the watered down politically correct social gospel taught by so many church pastors is meaningless. We know that the world’s condition and the falling away from G_D is right where G_D has told us it would be.

We know what is going to happen, we just don’t know the time or the day, we do however know the season. G_D’s time clock is coming to an end.

Knowing this does not let us off the hook, We are still called to “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” 2Tim. 4:2

Pastor John mentioned a few weeks ago and again last week that we who are saved 2Cor. 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 1Cor. 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1Cor. 3:13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
1Cor. 3:14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1Cor. 3:15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

The gist of this is that we all have a calling. We all have things that G_D has planned for our lives and it is up to us to search out and follow what he has called us to. We have diverse gifts of the Holy Spirit to use. How we use them, and how we perform the tasks G_D has called us for leads to the rewards each of us will receive. If we live our live in Christ as the Man given 5 talents and doubled them we will have rewards that will pass through the flame. On the other hand if we are like the man who received 1 talent and buried it most of his actions are stubble to be consumed by fire. (see Matt. 25:14-30)

My desire is to see my work pass through the flame, my fear is that when my chaff is consumed that in the flames I will see the faces of those I did not present the gospel to when I had the opportunity to and know they are in Hell.

If I present the Gospel to someone, it is then their choice to accept it or reject it, if I on the other hand, sit in my house and indulge myself, telling myself what a great christian I am for making it to church once a week, and keep my talent to myself then…………….
