SERIES COLLECTION EIGHT

STRANGE

Well it is 4:44 again and i go on line and find a PHOTO where flags cover a wall and 60,60,60 looks like 666....to some people. Now if the cameraman would

shift 10 feet over it might have caught 000. But that would not mean anything i could think of, so that might mean i am not spiritually minded enough to see

something spiritual in 000.

A few weeks ago i sent a post to the WPA about new TV programs. Quite a few "strange" ones have come out. But three of them especially have peaked my interest. Much more so than purposely looking for "666".

On Monday there is a program called "SURFACE". Some kind of MONSTERS have come out of the depths of the ocean. They seem to come from egg pods that are semi-luminescent. The "babies" look like lizards/reptiles.

But they are supposedly mammalian according to a dead one they find. The big momma is 300 feet long and has big teeth....and my immediate thought...LEVIATHAN.

They seem to be hungry.

The next two programs are about extra-terrestrial conquest of planet Earth. ABC has "INVASION" on Wednesday nites. Get the premise on this one....

a Hurricane hits south Florida and under the cover of the storm these lights fall from the SKY. Seem to be able to take over people's bodies. They also seem to

be drawn to authority types. But the government and military are keeping a tight cover on things.

The third is CBS on friday nite..."THRESHHOLD". This one is a little less typical. Here the aliens are changing HUMAN DNA. Uses an AUDIO SIGNAL. They are multidimensional....appearing to be able to move through both space and time. The "hook" here is a MARK that burns itself into computers, radar and other

electric stuff. A "triscalion"...speaking of "666".

Now all three are one word titles. All three are very different in structure...except for one thing. GOVERNMENT COVERUP. In all 3 we have the world in

"deep do-do" but do not know it yet. And in all three...if i could bet...it would not be for "our side"...especially THRESHHOLD.

STRANGE...that this season about 14 new programs have a strange "bend" in them. From LEVIATHAN...to UFO's... to MONSTER HUNTERS...to people talking to "ghosts".

Personally i am waiting for CHICKEN LITTLE....i wonder if he will do better than TOM CRUISE?

FULLNESS OF REVELATION

To be REFINED by FIRE, Stephen requires being willing to STAND BEFORE HIM...in HIS PRESENCE. To hear HIS VOICE and to give ANSWER. But to KNOW...to UNDERSTAND requires a price on our part. A price few want to pay.

I can not really blame them....the greatest of FEARS any human has is THE UNKNOWN. And if they really do not know who they say they serve....they are lost and alone in the DARK.

How do you KNOW the security of HIS HAND until HE PLACES you in THE CLEFT OF THE ROCK? How do you KNOW the strength of HIS HAND until HE pulls you OUT OF THE PIT and PLACES YOU ON HIGH GROUND?

Really Stephen, until they are IN HIS PRESENCE it is just cute music and polite talk....it will never be real. There is no way you or i can get anyone there by

our words, prayers, screams and rants. So we sit and wait, hoping some will call out in time. They have no clue how we grieve for those we have been "shown" who will be found lacking and unaware.

Tonight, Shabbot during THE DAYS OF AWE, i hear a song. It sings my lone desire....HIS PRESENCE.

I want to go where the rivers cannot overflow me

Where my feet are on a rock

I want to hide where the blazing fire cannot burn me

In Your presence, O God

Oh Steven, they love the RIVER...but do not see "the rivers" of Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers,

they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

I want to hide where the flood of evil cannot reach me

Where I'm covered by Your blood

I want to be where the schemes of darkness cannot

touch me

Isa 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit

of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. Stephen, they do not see or know THE LORD'S STRENGTH so how easily will they fall to the enemy's games?

You are my firm foundation

I trust in You all day long

I am Your child and Your servant

And You are my strength and my song

You're my song

OUR FIRM FOUNDATION....they do not have it...do they actually seek it? or is it just semantics?

In Your presence, that's where I am strong

In Your presence, O Lord my God

In Your presence, that's where I belong

Seeking Your face, touching Your grace

In the cleft of the rock

In Your presence, O God

It is in HIS PRESENCE does REVELATION BECOME REALITY. Face to FACE. Standing to HIS QUESTIONS....For HE IS MASTER and LORD...SAVIOUR AND REDEEMER...LION AND LAMB.

Paul told Timmy about it....

2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

2Th 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that

day.

2Th 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of [this] calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of [his] goodness, and

the work of faith with power:

2Th 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our TESTIMONY is our willingness to DIE for HIM. Whether on our own cross....or the one the world will use for us. But to overcome is THE WORDS OF OUR TESTAMONY...that we feared not for THIS LIFE... but we FEARED THE LORD...WORSHIPED HIM ALONE... and ONLY SERVED HIM.

Before you build a tower, you add up all it will cost you...and then YOU CHOSE TO BUILD IT....even when it costs everything...which was the PURPOSE to begin with.

Between THE GREEN and THE GRAY

Bob Neumann

Last Sunday morning i had one of those strange experiences that jumped back and forth between the REAL WORLD and THE VALLEY OF VISION. Now I have been thinking on it since then and acutely aware of the flow of THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT at this time. Brother Bill Somers wrote a great article called "THE SACRED COWS OF BIBLE STUDY". But it came at the right time

and place for my whole attention. In our correspondence he shared with me his article on "THE ULTIMATE REPAIR KIT". It seems that both of us have been prompted to look at THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. Likewise we are both concerned about the "SACRED COWS" that inhibit the growth and development of THE CHILDREN OF GOD. Sunday morning as a family we went out to lunch. We were going to meet another couple at a restaurant. This is something people do all the time. But something went wrong. I missed a turn i had made before. The

problem was the "sign" i watch for "was not there". So i "got lost" for about 10 minutes. Now i knew within a mile or so that "something was WRONG". I just could not figure how i could miss my turn. That may have been the problem, i was triggering my thinker rather than stopping and

turning around. I just kept going expecting to find a "familiar road". Only i did not.

Eventually i confessed to my wife i was "lost" and had to go home to "find" the "RIGHT ROAD". Only i was not sure where to turn. You have to understand that i live on the continental divide. The roads are "narrow", the usual two lanes with no shoulders. Go off the road anywhere

and you have deep trouble. Eventually i came to a place to where i could "see" beyond the dips and curves of the road. What i saw was a "peak". One of the few around Mount Mitchell. I could "see" it and it is a "landmark". Only i "knew" it was almost 40 miles away no matter which road i took. It "looked" close....but was not. Mt Mitchell is over 6000 feet high and it's sisters top 5000. I was at about 2500 feet and all I could see was the green of the peak and the gray overcast sky.

Everything just blends. Hard to differentiate distance when everything "blends together".

Eventually we found a familiar road and got home. So we started out again for our appointed lunch. Now when i came to where i "expected" to see the "SIGN" that marked my "TURN" i slowed down to a crawl. There was no sign...just green. Everything was green. Here in North Carolina we have "KUDZO". A super fast growing "ground cover" that can defy the law of gravity. The "sign"..."landmark"...i expected to see was covered by kudzo. In fact kudzo covers everything in it's path.

In the SPIRIT we have "kudzo" growing well. It covers the signs and landmarks that we have grown used to. We spirit-filled believers are cruising down our roads confident in our "memories" of what should be. Only things have changed. The coming storm has left us an overcast sky

so THE SON can not be seen. And all across the land KUDZO has simply taken over and covers everything. Miss one turn and you are lost.... for awhile.

Eventually you realize that you are LOST...and then you turn around and go back. This is the idea of repentance. And you got to "go back" and find the "right road". The GREEN and the GRAY blend in the distance. We can see THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD, but not THE ROAD to get there. Many people say straight is the path. Only JESUS said STRAIGHT IS THE GATE...the PATH is NARROW. Now THE PATH can be straightened. That is the job of HIS SERVANTS.

JESUS came to show us THE WAY...THE TRUTH...THE LIFE. The only way to ETERNAL LIFE is that we "we pick up our cross and follow HIM". The only ones who can follow are those who HEAR HIS VOICE. We are at a time where there are many voices, many distorted images. Lots of places where we can miss the turn we know we have to make. But the road looks the same

When you have no idea in which direction are traveling. Sometimes you have to screech to a stop and acknowledge something is wrong. It is not fun to realize you are on the wrong road going nowhere you are sure of. It is not easy to admit you need directions to get where you desire to go. But that is why HE GAVE TO US THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT. Now all we need is to listen and obey. That too is hard...sometimes.

Bonnie And Charlie

Bob Neumann

Dear Friends, A few days ago I brought up the TERM "BONNIE" coming from our "ancient" language. Sister Edith asked in a personal post "Who was Bonnie Prince Charles?". Historically there was a "character" called "BONNIE PRINCE CHARLIE". Today we have two named storms....BONNIE and CHARLIE....makes you wonder.

Historically "Charlie" was Charles Edward Stuart. Son of James II....king of England and Scotland. But Charlie was born in Rome. James II had been an unpopular king and was deposed by Parliament. For some strange reason they replaced him with "Good King William III " of the HOUSE of ORANGE. Which was the ruling family of the DUTCH... HOLLAND...THE NETHERLANDS. You see James II was Roman Catholic....William was a Protestant.

Bonnie Prince Charlie is called "THE YOUNG PRETENDER"...and was a descendant of Mary Queen of Scotts...who married the STUART King of Scotland. So Charlie was a direct descendant of HENRY 8TH....so legally was heir to both crowns. Now when Charlie led the Scotts in what is called THE JACOBITE Cause. The Highlanders believed in THE DIVINE RIGHT of KINGS. So many came to his banner.

What is interesting is that Bonnie Prince Charlie led an estimated army of 6000 men to within 150 miles of London.....Where George II now reigned. Prophetically what comes to me is that Scotland and her HIGHLANDERS met The ENGLISH at THE BATTLE OF Culloden Moor. Imagine the BRAVE SCOTS marching to their bagpipes claymore and targe in hand....kilts swirling...such a brave...BONNIE sight as they charged the British MUSKETS. It was a slaughter. The commander of the British was William Augustus, called THE BUTCHER OF CUMBERLAND. Because of this defeat England passed laws called THE HIGHLAND CLEARANCES that made it illegal for the clans to wear their Tartan, play the bagpipes, speak their language.

Swords and Muskets....ancient weapons....old metaphors.....logically it makes no sense having men charge sword in hand. Not long ago I watched a movie called KING ARTHUR. Men and women stood their ground against an invader that slaughtered everyone in their path. No place to run to...no place to hide. Sometimes you chose when and where you make your stand. Sometimes you have no choice.

Scripturally we have Ephesians 6....all the ARMOR is meant for is to allow us to STAND. To HOLD THE LINE....PREVENT THE DESTROYER from getting around or over you.

Why BONNIE PRINCE CHARLIE? Why now? The last major dream I had everything was coming in twos.... two storms....BONNIE and CHARLIE.

Sometimes you have to wait and see....but it is interesting.
