Obama Setting-Us-Up for Attack Upon U.S.A. - ALL AIRCRAFT CARRIERS NOW IN PORT - NONE AT SEA, ANYWHERE

It appears the U.S. has been set-up by our own government to be attacked. All 10 U.S. Navy Aircraft Carriers are "in-port" for the next week! NO CARRIER is operating anywhere in the world! We're sitting ducks.
For the next week, not only will there be no U.S. Navy aircraft carrier in the Middle East, but there will be no American aircraft carriers deployed at sea anywhere else in the world, despite a host of worldwide threats facing the United States.
The carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and her strike group returned to Norfolk, Va., Friday following a seven-month deployment. The Ike launched hundreds of airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria from both the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf.
Two destroyers in the Ike’s strike group also saw combat. The USS Nitze and USS Mason were attacked in the Red Sea when Iranian backed Houthi forces in Yemen launched cruise missiles, which were intercepted by the Mason. A retaliatory strike by the Nitze destroyed the radar installations in Yemen in October.
The Eisenhower’s replacement carrier, the USS George H.W. Bush, was delayed by more than six months in the shipyards and will not be able to replace the Ike until early next year, according to Navy officials.
While there is no U.S. aircraft carrier in the Middle East right now, there is a large deck U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship with thousands of Marines on board as well as helicopters and some jets to respond to a crisis, according to officials.

In the meantime, the Navy tells SuperStation95 the U.S. military has other jets available to make up for the aircraft carrier gap in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world. The Navy can also “surge” a carrier now in port to deploy if necessary. But the absence of a deployed U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, long seen as a symbol of American power projection, is noteworthy. It is believed to be the first time since World War II that at least one U.S. aircraft carrier has not been deployed.
“We are not going to discuss the timing of operational movements of carrier strike groups into and out of the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility,” said Capt. Terry Shannon, a U.S. Naval Forces Central Command spokesman, in a statement to SuperStation95. Centcom is tasked with control over all U.S. forces in the Middle East and Afghanistan.
It’s not the first time there was a carrier gap in the Middle East. Last fall, the U.S. Navy relied on a French aircraft carrier to fill the void when the USS Theodore Roosevelt returned home. At the time it was the first gap in carrier coverage in the Middle East since 2007.
Other factors contribute to the U.S. Navy not having an aircraft carrier deployed anywhere in the world right now. From 2011 to 2013, the Navy maintained two carriers in the Persian Gulf on the orders of Centcom's then-commander, Gen. James Mattis, who is now President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary.

The Congressionally mandated budget cuts known as sequestration have also been felt on the waterfront since 2011. After billions of dollars were cut from the Navy’s budget, ships such as the George H.W. Bush were forced to prolong their time in the shipyards, which had a ripple effect down the line. If the Bush had left the shipyard on time, she would have relieved the Ike in the Gulf or the Mediterranean, officials tell Fox News.
A SuperStation95 Correspondent recently flew out to the USS George H.W. Bush 40 miles off the coast of North Carolina to see the crew's final tuneup.
With jets landing every 60 seconds, the flight deck crew worked on getting the time between “traps” (landings) down to 40 seconds.
Aboard the ship, 18- to 22-year-old men and women work 14 hour days on the flight deck, with little rest -- all this before deploying and potentially dropping live rounds on ISIS.
“This is the military equivalent of spring training, because once we complete this at the end of December, then we'll be going forward and it'll be real forces that we'll be going flying with and against,” said Rear Adm. Kenneth Whitesell, commander, Carrier Strike 2, interviewed on his perch above the four-acre flight deck known as “Vulture's Row.”
In addition to fighting ISIS, the ship's commanding officer says his crew will be ready to deal with a resurgent Russia or China if necessary.
“While we don't have any emergent or pending conflicts with them, certainly, it is fair to say that we have divergent interests in many cases. and so we need to be prepared to understand how we will react to that if necessary,” said Capt. Will Pennington.
There is recent history with this ship.
On Aug. 8, 2014, a pair of F-18s from the Bush launched the first airstrikes against ISIS in northern Iraq.
Now, two and a half years later, the ship is headed back to the fight against the Islamic State terror group.
“That doesn't mean that three months or six months from now, that will be the priority for our country. So we have to be ready to execute anywhere, anytime, any mission,” said Capt. James McCall, commander of Air Wing 8, in charge of all of the aircraft on board.
Overshadowing all of this is the nagging feeling that it's all a little too coincidental that ALL aircraft carriers are in-port, for a whole week, just before a very unpopular President is supposed to surrender his office. A President who is making false claims of election interference against a Super-Power, Russia.
Said one Admiral in the Pentagon, "I think we're being set-up for an attack on the USA and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it because it's our Commander-In-Chief who is doing it."
Other flag officers expressed other concerns as well. Said one Captain

"In this time, China can take Taiwan and, if they choose, Japan too. North Korea can take South Korea, Russia can take Ukraine and the Arabs can all go attack Israel. By the time the US is able to respond to any of that, it will all be over."

Beware, America. Barack Obama has put us in a position to be defeated worldwide within a week.

Obama Tells Trump And The American People F**k You Before He Leaves

Slomo: The Pacific Beach Legend

WE FOUND IT ! Barack Obama !! MY MOTHER WAS A MUSLIM ??? !!!!!!

Why Watch?

Ahounsi Omage

1 hr ·

It is the Midnight hour,
"Behold the Bridegroom cometh - go out to meet Him!"

DO you not know that the Bridegroom is coming? JESUS IS COMING!
The global events tell you.
Yet you don't care about what is happening in the world today?!
Is your drive towards GOD only for Self Self Self...??

Today's religion - the worship of God for self:- to satisfy lusts and desires, worship driven by your cares and fears and insecutities and anxieties, just to attain earthly legacies for approval from men.
This is the religion of many today, therefore they can not see that The KING of kings is coming.
This is the midnight hour. Watch and pray and stay holy, forgiving others and ever repented of sins.
"WHY WATCH?"

Well - Yahushua said...
"Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming."
"Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
So you also, when you see these things happening, know that it is near--at the doors!
Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Take heed, WATCH and PRAY; for you do not know when the time is.
...
Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming--in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning--
LEST, COMING SUDDENLY, HE FIND YOU SLEEPING
And what I say to you, I say to all: WATCH!..."

" ... "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near.
And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.
Then THEY will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near."
Then He spoke to them a parable: "Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.
When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.
So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
But TAKE HEED to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.
For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.
WATCH therefore, and PRAY always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.""

"Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore IF YOU WILL NOT WATCH, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you."

"Behold, I am coming as a thief. BLESSED IS HE WHO WATCHES, And Keeps his Garments, lest he walk naked and THEY see his shame."

Matt 25:13, Mark 13:28-37, Luke 21:10-11,20,24-36, Rev 3:3, Rev 16:15.

If you Watch and Pray, His coming will not overtake you like a thief: He shall not come to you unexpectedly and you shall not be ashamed nor be put to shame - you shall escape the things that will come to pass, as HE has said.

REPENT AND BE CONVERTED TO CHRIST IN HOLINESS!
THE KING IS COMING: JESUS IS COMING.

Hope for the New Year

Daniel was given 490 years and 70 years which were both "abridged" by 3.5 years. We are living in "Last Trump" the "last Jubilee Trump", bring to a close the prophesied end of the "Six (millennial days) of War", after which God's Spirit will no longer dwell in man, rather we his temple leave the moment Daniel 8:14 is fulfilled, and the 3rd Temple cleansed. This must take place first, before the Spirit of God will return to the Holy of Holies.

Jesus died in the midst of the 70th week of Daniel. That means in the middle, at the 3.5 year mark. The final 3.5 years is about one year into the future.

Hopes this helps.

Start counting from this event 2300 days until you reach Yom Kippur 5778. This was the bull's eye blood moon of June 15th, 2011. The "Heavenly Menorah" revealed this to me some time ago. Once this was made known, the remaining dates all fell into place. This was the start count of Daniel 8:14.

Great Teaching on The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

The Seal of the Holy Spirit IS Speaking in Tongues

06 Tuesday Sep 2011

Posted by Rev. Nadine Drayton-Keen in Bible Study

Baptism of the Holy Spirit,

Because there are so many Christians who trust in their churches’ religious traditions, so many Christians who fear not being in control of what they say or do, and so many Christians who display various other prejudices against the supernatural workings of the Holy Spirit, consequently, there also are countless believers who will disagree with the following statement: God intends for EVERY believer to be “sealed” with the Holy Spirit, which means He wants every believer to experience the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (experience being Holy Spirit filled with the evidence of speaking in tongues)! Regrettably, the majority of today’s believers who do not speak in tongues often heatedly disagree with every born from above and saved (justified) believer who defines “sealed” with the Holy Spirit as the observable, physical, outward sign of speaking in tongues. These naysayers disagree with other believers primarily because these skeptics do not think that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a second work—a separate event from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, who takes up residence in a believer at the moment he or she is saved. Furthermore, these naysayers disagree with other believers concerning whether speaking in tongues is God ordained, and in fact these disbelievers will scoff at those who do speak in their heavenly language.

Be that as it may, the biblical truth is that the English word “sealed” is in several New Testament verses. Biblically speaking, a “seal” could be used for different reasons. For instance, in the holy Scriptures, a “seal” is usually a piece of wax with a distinctive design in it, like that of a signet ring; a “seal” is a stamp, an engraved device used for stamping; or a “seal” is a common visible, physical, external mark that preserves and attests that God’s “seal” authenticates the character and behaviors of an individual.

Thus, in the Holy Bible, a “seal” would guarantee that the “sealed” important documents’ authenticity has been preserved (cf. Esther 3:12), or would be a mark of ownership, or an impression of love (cf. Song of Solomon 8:6); or would provide protection against being tampered with, and would prevent the “seal” from being counterfeited or broken (cf. Matthew 27:66; Revelation 5:1), and/or would guarantee that a person’s character is genuine, that the “seal” is absolute proof, and an unbreakable demonstration (cf. 1 Corinthians 9:2). In the case of documents and letters, a “seal not only keeps a document or letter securely closed, which means the document or letter’s content is protected from being read by people who have no business reading it, but also the “seal” declares to everyone that the document or letter belongs to the sender.

In contrast, when the Apostle Paul speaks of a “seal” or being “sealed,” he is using “seal” and “sealed” as a metaphor for believers’ oral testimonials—those which confirm the fact that God’s “seal” authenticates a person’s character (moral and ethical nature) and behaviors (cf. 1 Corinthians 9:2). In the apostle’s case, the Corinthians’ conversations verify the fact that Paul is God’s apostle. That is why, for the Apostle Paul, the word “sealed” is equivalent to authenticity, authority or power, and ownership, and why, for Apostle Paul, God’s “seal” is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, which not only fills believers but also gives believers “new tongues.”

To the apostle, these “new tongues” (new languages) either can be of men (humanity) or of angels (cf. 1 Corinthians 13:1). In either case, it is evident that the Apostle Paul is saying in 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 and Ephesians 1:13-14, that the Holy Spirit’s “seal” manifests as “new tongues” via the supernatural power of the infilling Holy Spirit. For sure, he is saying that speaking in tongues is the outward evidence (seal or mark) that attests to the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (life full of the power of God).

It is important to note here that in none of the verses in which it is implied or directly stated that believers are speaking in tongues is there one apostle (or any writer) who is saying that speaking in tongues is a requirement for salvation. What the apostles and other writers are saying, especially the Apostle Paul, is that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, brings a person into an intimate conversational communion with Father God. The Apostle Paul also is saying, especially in 1 Corinthians 14:21, that God first promises “new tongues” (strange languages) back in the Old Testament. The Apostle Paul writes:

It is written in the Law, By men of strange languages and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and not even then will they listen to Me, says the Lord. Thus [unknown] tongues are meant for a [supernatural] sign, not for believers but for unbelievers [on the point of believing], while prophecy (inspired preaching and teaching, interpreting the divine will and purpose) is not for unbelievers [on the point of believing] but for believers. ~ 1 Corinthians 14:21-22, AMP (this blogger has italicized and colored “men of,” because these words have been added to the original text, possibly to muddy the original meaning of the text)

The Apostle Paul, in the context of 1 Corinthians 14:21-22, clearly is emphasizing speaking in tongues—speaking in an “unknown tongue,” which he refers to as a heavenly language or the tongues of angels (cf. 1 Corinthians 14:2; and 1 Corinthians 13:1). To prove his point, the Apostle Paul uses the Old Testament Scriptures in which God promises that there are going to be “new tongues”—the kind of “new tongues” that even the Prophet Isaiah, via God, says will be both a “rest” and a “refreshing” that many people “…would not hear” (Isaiah 28:12; cf. Isaiah 44:3).

The apostle’s words in 1 Corinthians 14:21-22 are really a paraphrasing of an Old Testament Law. Once again, the Apostle Paul is indirectly quoting the Prophet Isaiah. In an Isaiah 28 passage, the prophet is saying that because some of the Old Testament’s prophets did not treat the teaching of God’s Law appropriately, God promises to speak to His soon to be backslidden “religious” leaders, indeed, the whole backslidden nation of Israel, in a “new tongue,” in a “strange language”—this language, tongue is the one God intends to be His chosen people’s true “rest” and “refreshing.” The prophet writes:

For with stammering lips and another tongue will He speak to this people, to whom He said, ‘This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest,’ and, ‘This is the refreshing’ – yet they would not hear. ~ Isaiah 28:11-12, KJV21 (underlining is this blogger’s emphasis)

In context, in the above passage, God is speaking about those Jewish prophets who prefer to intellectualize their faith, and about those Jewish prophets who prefer to control their spiritual experience with Him by childishly yet systematically approaching the Law “…precept upon precept, precept upon precept, rule upon rule, rule upon rule; here a little, there a little” (Isaiah 28:10b, AMP). For sure, God is mocking these rebellious Jewish prophets. He tauntingly is saying that they too must be taught by using the same kind of concise and conceited method they use when they are teaching children about a language’s basics. Because these “religious” leaders refuse to listen to and accept God’s messages spoken to them in their native tongue, which He sent to them through authentic prophets, like Isaiah, God promises to punish their rebellion with the same kind of tedious lessons, and this teaching will make the Law to become their stumbling block—the Law will make them “fall backward,” backslide, and to go back into captivity. Isaiah prophesies to them, saying God wants them to know that:

…the word of the Lord will be to them [merely monotonous repeatings of]: precept upon precept, precept upon precept, rule upon rule, rule upon rule; here a little, there a little—that they may go and fall backward, and be broken and snared and taken. ~ Isaiah 28:13, AMP

Once again, in the above verse, God is saying that His Law would be to the rebellious Jewish prophets just what they say it is, which is a tedious never-ending lesson. They will receive this punishment instead of receiving the kind of “rest” and “refreshing” that is powerful, costs them nothing (is a comfort that comes from the gift of God, from the outpouring of the Holy Spirit), and has no harmful effects. This “rest” and “refreshing” are the results of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Indeed, the “…stammering lips and another tongue…” (Isaiah 28:11a) are the very “rest” and “refreshing” that God’s chosen people have rejected—are that which the Old Testament Hebrews refused—and that which many contemporary New Testament believers also are rejecting.

Nevertheless, the Apostle Paul states that this Isaiah 28:11 promise of a “new tongue” is fulfilled through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. In Ephesians, one of the last epistles yet the most developed epistle by the Apostle Paul, the apostle declares that the Holy Spirit of promise is that down payment, voucher or “earnest,” on believers’ future inheritance. Their entire future inheritance is life full of the power of God, and an eternal life in a glorious body. In other words, proof of God’s faithfulness to His promise to give believers their whole inheritance is the pouring out of the Holy Spirit—the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. This baptism gives believers supernatural power, the kind of supernatural power that comes unequivocally and directly from God.

For this last reason, the indwelling Holy Spirit is ONLY a deposit, a partial payment on the sign or promise of what is to come. The sign or promise of what is to come IS the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, the “seal” that manifests itself AFTER believers are saved. Indeed, Jesus the Christ, Himself, defines the supernatural power and the miraculous signs and wonders that would accompany His disciples, like speaking with “new tongues” (cf. Mark 16:17), as that which His disciples would receive in Jerusalem, AFTER they are filled with the Holy Spirit—AFTER they receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. True to His Word, according to the writer of Acts, on the Day of Pentecost, the Lord’s disciples (His closest 11, plus an additional 109) are speaking in tongues!

What’s more, on the Day of Pentecost, the Apostle Peter reaffirms that this gift, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, is that genuine “rest” and “refreshing” God promises. On this historic day, Apostle Peter not only makes a reference to the Prophet Joel’s outpouring of the Holy Spirit (cf. Acts 2:16-18; and Joel 2:28), but also he makes a reference to the Prophet Isaiah’s message to God’s “religious” and condescendingly intellectual prophets. For sure, the Jewish people the Apostle Peter preached to not only witnessed the outpouring of the Holy Spirit’s fiery tongues, as they sat upon the 120 disciples, but also they HEARD these 120 disciples speak in the promised “new tongues” (cf. Acts 2:4; Acts 2:33; and Isaiah 28:11).

In the earlier cited Isaiah verses, God is addressing the “religious” leaders in Prophet Isaiah’s day who would be taught God’s Law in the same manner that they were treating it, which was like His Law is an endless series of trivial commands. As a result, this teaching would make the Law to become their stumbling block. Today, it is apparent that the Scriptures on speaking in tongues also have become a stumbling block for many believers—both “religious” leaders and their congregations. Indeed, too many of these Christians think that speaking in tongues is not only NOT for them, but also NOT for the institutional church as a whole, NOT for this world’s countless ministries, and NOT even for the genuine Body of Christ. In essence, according to the believers who scoff at the idea of speaking in tongues (those believers who also mock their brothers and sisters in Christ who speak in tongues), this Holy Spirit experience should be off-limits for ALL believers, whether carnal or spiritual.

Be that as it may, indisputably, what the Apostle Paul is saying, in the several Scriptures that he uses “sealed,” is that ONLY Holy Spirit filled believers will have unlimited access to their entire inheritance, which cannot be exhausted, even though this inheritance can be used in this temporal realm, as well as in the eternal realm. Furthermore, the apostle is saying that their entire inheritance is shut up, “sealed,” inside them as the promised rivers of Living Waters. Clearly, this sealing means their inheritance only can be accessed through the Faith that God gives to Baptized with the Holy Spirit believers.

The above definitions and understanding are apparent in the following quotation. The Apostle Paul writes:

In Him, you also, AFTER listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory. ~ Ephesians 1:13-14, NASB (caps are this blogger’s emphasis)

In verse 13, the Apostle Paul’s Greek New Testament word for the English word “sealed” is sphragizo. This Greek word actually means that a person has a COMMON, visible, physical, external mark, which proves or testifies to other people that he or she is who and what he or she professes. Put differently, a person who has been “sealed” by the “Holy Spirit of promise” has a visible, physical mark, like the “seal” on a letter or on important documents is observable, physical, and external. In believers’ case, God’s mark (seal) on believers proves, confirms, and/or attests to their authenticity, authority or power, and ownership (to whom these believers belong).

God’s mark also confirms, guarantees, promises, preserves, keeps, and/or attests to the fact that not only are believers’ redemption and salvation certain—a once and for all, a forever event, a done deal—but also that Jesus the Christ will release the promised heavenly inheritance (supernatural riches, treasures; the rivers of Living Water), through the Holy Spirit, who is every believer’s “earnest,” down payment, or guarantee. In other words, the Holy Spirit is a partial payment on believers’ inheritance, the whole of which is believers’ eternal life with God, and believers’ immortal glory. This “earnest” of the Holy Spirit—the indwelling of the Holy Spirit—is why God pledges (vows) that He will give believers everything He has promised would be their inheritance.

It is important to note here that the Apostle Paul uses “earnest” and “seal” interchangeably. As such, both terms indicate that the only way God could give the Holy Spirit as an “earnest” is if the Holy Spirit is able to provide definitive evidence of God’s good intentions to give believers their whole inheritance. Put differently, in order for believers to be “sealed” with the Holy Spirit, they would have to have received miraculous powers—powers of revelation and signs. Therefore, as definitive evidence of God’s good intentions and a sign of believers’ authenticity, the Holy Spirit “seals” believers with God’s trademark, which guarantees that believers are indeed the authentic eternal sons and daughters of God, and that the COMMON, visible, physical, outward sign of their authenticity, that which lets the world know their true identity, is believers’ supernatural ability to speak in tongues. Furthermore, by marking, branding, labeling believers with God’s “seal,” this sealing act protects believers from the demonic forces that otherwise would enter into them and possess them. In essence, the Holy Spirit “seals” IN Faith and “seals” OUT unbelief and apostasy.

In another part of this Ephesian epistle, the apostle also writes:

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [do not offend or vex or sadden Him], by Whom you were sealed (marked, branded as God’s own, secured) for the day of redemption (of final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences of sin). ~ Ephesians 4:30, AMP

The fact that believers can grieve the Holy Spirit with their bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, or slander indicates that the Holy Spirit is not always in control, and He is not always in control because many believers do not make the Holy Spirit feel welcome, which is the sense of the word “receive” in Acts 1:8. More important, believers who grieve the Holy Spirit are not full of the Holy Spirit, because the Scriptures describe Spirit-driven believers as those individuals who allow the Holy Spirit to direct (control) and guide every one of their decisions, plans, and activities. Therefore, since believers can grieve the Holy Spirit, then this behavior is a clear indication that the Holy Spirit who indwells them did not spontaneously baptize (fill) them, as only the Baptism of the Holy Spirit results in believers being Spirit-driven believers—being full of the Holy Spirit (cf. Acts 2:4).

In other words, if Apostle Paul has to tell believers to be “…filled with the Holy Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18), then not every born from above saved (justified) believer automatically receives the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, or His subsequent initial infilling, at the same time salvation is received. Moreover, the apostle’s use of the Greek present tense of the verb “be filled” also denotes that the filling of the Holy Spirit is not a one-time event, but rather it is a continual experience.

Having said that, it is obvious that, in Ephesians 1:13; Ephesians 4:30, and Ephesians 5:18, the Apostle Paul is speaking of two Holy Spirit events taking place, once a person is born from above and saved (justified). At the time of salvation, everyone has received the gift of the Holy Spirit—that is, the Holy Spirit now lives inside of every believer. However, being indwelt with (or baptized in) and filled with (or baptized with) the Holy Spirit are not the same things. In other words, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit equals believers receiving the “earnest” on their inheritance, and receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (being filled with the Holy Spirit) equals believers being “sealed” (marked, branded, secured) by the Holy Spirit. The latter clearly is a SECOND work—a work that is in addition to the Holy Spirit living in believers.

The New Testament actually does distinguish between receiving the Holy Spirit and baptizing with the Holy Spirit. The former occurs at the moment believers are saved (justified), the latter can occur at the moment of salvation, but more often than not the Baptism of the Holy Spirit happens some time after salvation. Since this baptism is for the purpose of empowering believers for ministry, this is the reason why Jesus the Christ tells His disciples that they will “…receive power after the Holy Ghost…” (Acts 1:8, KJV21) comes upon them, and that this power would make them His witnesses “in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8, KJV21).

The Divine Truth is the disciples already believed in Jesus the Christ, and they already had received the Holy Spirit, when Jesus the Christ, after His resurrection, “…breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit” (John 20:22, AMP)! At that very second, they were born again of the Holy Spirit “…through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3), and this event happened some days before the Lord’s Ascension. For sure, this event is why the disciples already had the Holy Spirit dwelling inside them and present in their lives; moreover, no one can authentically confess Jesus as Lord without the Holy Spirit (cf. 1 Corinthians 12:3).

Furthermore, even though the disciples had achieved supernatural results without the actual Baptism of the Holy Spirit, which they were able to do only because the Lord, while still with them, had given them His power and authority, they would need the Baptism of the Holy Spirit before they could achieve any more miracles, signs and wonders, because the Lord was going back to the Father. In other words, between the time of the Lord’s Ascension and Pentecost, the disciples had not yet been empowered for Jesus the Christ’s Commission. This truth is why, some days before Pentecost, the Lord commands them to wait in Jerusalem until God “sealed” them with (baptized them with) the Holy Spirit.

Now, it follows that, in the case of the apostles, receiving the indwelling of the Holy Spirit AND the Baptism of the Spirit were (and for the most part still are) two separate events, because the born again and Holy Spirit indwelt disciples of Christ (see John 20:22) didn’t receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit until the Day of Pentecost, which was after the Lord’s Ascension! Therefore, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (being baptized with the Holy Spirit, or being filled with the Holy Spirit) more often than not will be a subsequent occurrence, which happens after salvation.

For the above reasons, believers must realize that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is not the same thing as salvation (justification). Yes, the Holy Bible does give examples of people who are baptized with the Holy Spirit at the same time as their salvation (justification), but these instances are not the norm—they are not ALWAYS what happens. Moreover, only the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the fullness of the Holy Spirit, and this fullness brings great blessing and comfort to believers. Certainly, there are many believers who can testify that being filled with the Holy Spirit usually results in a renewed dedication to and an appreciation for God, a strong desire to share the Gospel of Jesus the Christ, an insatiable desire to read the Holy Bible, an insatiable desire to fellowship with other Christians, an insatiable desire to listen to praise and worship music, and a deeper sense of what it means to worship God in Spirit and in Truth.

For additional spiritual wisdom, knowledge, and understanding purposes, it is important to note that in Acts, where the Baptism of the Holy Spirit does happen at the time of believers’ salvation, the Holy Bible is quick to emphasize this point: The apostles KNEW that these believers were baptized in the Holy Spirit, because the apostles “…heard them talking in [unknown] tongues (languages) and extolling and magnifying God” (Acts 10:46, AMP; cf. Acts 11:15-16). Without doubt, a believer who has been born from above and has received salvation (justification) doesn’t need to speak in tongues to verify that the Holy Spirit now lives inside him or her. However, in the Holy Bible, God does use believers’ speaking in tongues, as the ONLY COMMON, visible, physical, outward SIGN (His trademark, seal, brand, mark) that accompanies the Baptism of the Holy Spirit!

Furthermore, while believers are given the authority (exousia) to be children of God, which happens after they have received their new birth and salvation (cf. John 1:12-13), they only can receive power (dunamis) AFTER the Holy Spirit comes upon them and fills them with the Holy Spirit (cf. Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4). Therefore, the purpose of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is so that men and women will become not only children of God, but children of God who are very much like Jesus the Christ in nature, holiness, and power. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, thus, gives believers the same Father-child relationship possibilities like God and His only beloved Son have, and gives believers the same power ministry like Jesus the Christ had in His earthly ministry.

Put differently, being “sealed” with the Holy Spirit guarantees that the FULL amount of believers’ inheritance will be paid—that believers not only will receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit (life full of the power of God) but also subsequently will receive the TOTAL sanctifying work by which Jesus the Christ saves them from sin. In particular, they will complete the three stages of Salvation: Justification (saved from the penalty of sin), Sanctification (being saved from the power of sin), and Glorification (to be saved in the future from the presence of sin, which is the promised glorious resurrection).

That’s why it is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit that makes it possible for the Holy Spirit to “seal” believers with a sealing that confirms to the world that God’s child has other-world protection and other-world riches: supernatural power, spiritual gifts, spiritual fruit, new languages, and so forth, which God has poured into them. Indeed, these rivers of Living Water are preserved inside every baptized in the Holy Spirit believer. As earlier mentioned, only Jesus the Christ can open this “seal,” because He is Lord and Savior, and believers’ joint-heir to the promised heavenly inheritance. Through Faith in Him, believers can have access to their inheritance in this temporal world, as well as in the spiritual realm.

Once again, God wants EVERY believer to be “sealed,” baptized in the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues. This speaking in tongues truth is understood best in the following verse. The Lord says:

And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; ~ Mark 16:17, AMP; (the underlining is this blogger’s emphasis)

Here, the Lord is saying that EVERYONE who is born from above and saved (justified) has received the authority (exousia) to speak in “new tongues” (a heavenly language or prayer language; a praise language; and/or a prophetic language). However, not everyone who receives the Baptism of the Holy Spirit will prophesy or give messages in various human tongues, and those who can, must have their tongues interpreted!

The three “new languages” (new tongues) that are evidence of believers having been “sealed” by the Holy Spirit (baptized with the Holy Spirit), once again, are: 1. Prayer Tongues; 2. Praise Tongues; and 3. Prophetic Tongues.

Pregnant Woman Missing from Abbotsford

Pregnant woman missing and doesn't have her medication: family

CTV News Channel: 'Still optimistic:' Police

Const. Ian MacDonald says the concerns for Marie Stuart are that she doesn't have her medication and the fact she is five months pregnant.

Search for missing pregnant woman in Abbotsford

Two different search and rescue teams are scouring Abbotsford for Marie Stuart, a 38-year-old pregnant woman who went missing Tuesday.

A husband desperate for answers issued a plea to his missing pregnant wife Wednesday evening.
“I love you and I miss you and I want to see you again,” said Leslie Scott Schellenberg.
Marie Stuart, 38, is five months into her first pregnancy and hasn’t been seen since 3 p.m. Tuesday, when she was in the area of Sevenoaks shopping mall in Abbotsford.

Stuart stands 5’2” and has black hair. She wears glasses and when she was last seen was also wearing a yellow toque and a blue jacket.
"Amplifying factors that elevate our concern and certainly the family's concern is the fact that she is just over five months pregnant,” said Cont. Ian MacDonald of the Abbotsford Police Department. “There is a degree of urgency obviously in locating her and we would like to appeal to the public to assist us with that."
Volunteers from both Mission Search and Rescue and Central Valley Search and Rescue joined family and friends Wednesday looking for any clues related to Stuart’s disappearance.
Crews set up a mobile command centre at MSA Arena and searched nearby Mill Lake Park.
Adding to the family’s concern, Stuart requires medication that she doesn’t have with her.
"She's kind of in a bit of a state and I'm worried that she might just wander aimlessly,” said Schellenberg.
According to her husband, Stuart doesn’t have a history of going missing or running away.
Search and rescue volunteers suspended their efforts around suppertime Wednesday and it is unclear when or if they will rejoin the search.
But Abbotsford police say the missing person case for Stuart is very active and they are continuing to investigate.

70 Nations invited by France to Middle East 'Peace' Conference Jan 15, 2017

World News | Thu Dec 22, 2016 | 9:08am EST

France to convene Middle East peace conference on Jan. 15

France will convene some 70 countries on Jan. 15 for a Middle East peace conference in Paris, its foreign minister said on Thursday, and will invite the Israeli and Palestinian leaders to meet separately at its conclusion.France has repeatedly tried to breathe new life into the peace process this year, holding a preliminary conference in June where the United Nations, European Union, United States and major Arab countries gathered to discuss proposals without the Israelis or Palestinians present.
The plan was to hold a follow-up conference before the end of the year with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas involved to see whether the two sides could be brought back to negotiations and revive moribund peace talks.
Netanyahu had repeatedly rejected the conference proposal.
"France is still determined to hold a conference in Paris to reaffirm the necessity of a two-state solution," Jean-Marc Ayrault told journalists.
"January 15 is the date that has been fixed and 70 countries are invited. We are not going to give up now."
A French diplomatic source said invitations would also be sent to Netanyahu and Abbas to meet French president Francois Hollande to outline the results of the conference.
The source said that with uncertainty surrounding how the next US administration would handle the issue it was more important than ever to deal with the issue.
"You can see that it's even more justified in this context," the source said.
Ahead of a UN Security Council vote at the UN later on Israeli settlements, Ayrault declined to say how Paris would vote, but repeated that settlements were illegal.

This from yet another article..

On January 15th, representatives from 70 different countries will gather in Paris, France for an unprecedented global conference. The stated goal of this conference is to promote a "two-state solution" as the way that lasting peace will be brought to the Middle East.

In Israel, there is a tremendous amount of concern that whatever is agreed upon at this conference will immediately be used as the basis for a UN Security Council resolution that would permanently divide the land of Israel and create a Palestinian state.

But things would have to move very rapidly in order for that to happen, because Barack Obama's time in the White House comes to an end on January 20th, and Donald Trump has already made it exceedingly clear that he would never support such a resolution.

The UN Security Council resolution that was passed on Friday was one of the most significant events that we have witnessed in decades. Resolution 2334 made all Israeli settlements in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem illegal, it set the 1967 ceasefire lines as the border between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and it granted every single inch of East Jerusalem to the Palestinians.

"We will look at this text carefully. The ongoing settlements completely weaken the situation and create tensions and move Us away from a two-state solution".

It looks like the U.S. border security wants to get involved with the social media profiles of foreigner travelers. But only if they want to them

Source: https://www.socialgo.com/blog/being-mobile-on-social-media

The United States will welcome the newest visitors with open arms and the “optional” request to provide their social media accounts to the U.S. border security. International travelers who visit the US through the visa-waiver program will be asked to give information for their online presence, according to a report in Politico.
The report says that the U.S. government will ask from selected foreign travelers their Facebook, Twitter and any other social media account when they arrive in the country. This action will spot possible terrorist threats and deny entry to anyone who may be involved with terrorist groups.
Michael W. Macleod-Ball, chief of staff for the American Civil Liberties Union’s Washington office, said to Politico:

“There are very few rules about how that information is being collected, maintained [and] disseminated to other agencies, and there are no guidelines about limiting the government’s use of that information,” “While the government certainly has a right to collect some information … it would be nice if they would focus on the privacy concerns some advocacy groups have long expressed.”

The U.S. border security say that this tactic is designed to help “identify potential threats.” On the other hand ACLU expresses some concerns about Arab and Muslim travelers. They specifically say that they will scrutinized under the new system. Of course the U.S. has said it won’t deny entry to those who won’t give their social media accounts, but many expect that travelers will provide the information in order to get through the customs without any delay.
“The process to enter the U.S. is confusing, and it’s likely that most visitors will fill out the card completely rather than risk additional questions from intimidating, uniformed officers,” said Nation White, senior legislative manager at digital rights group Access Now.
Also on the matter Abigail Slater, general counsel for the Internet Association, commented:

“Democratic and non-democratic countries — including those without the United States’ due process protections — will now believe they are more warranted in demanding social media information from visitors that could jeopardize visitors’ safety.”

And for the record 38 countries are included in the visa-waiver program. This program allows foreign citizens to visit the United States for up to 90 days without applying for a visa.
But, let’s not forget that the U.S. government received a lot of criticism about this idea. Especially the Muslim registry news became quite popular after a report from BuzzFeed. According to the report many tech companies including Apple, Google, Uber are not so willing to give away personal data. participate.
So, what do you think about this move? Would you provide your social media accounts or not?
