Now Regarding Sin 08/22/2013

"That maybe so Soledad but you must remember no manner of sin shall inherit God's kingdom and there are no exceptions." "Remember the dreams years back whereas I witness entire familes climbing up to God by manners of dangerous catwalks, how in the dream it was protrayed they all came so close to heaven." "As so, so close to God they could hear his voice quoting the promise to wipe away all tears, sorrows, pain and death only to eventually fall, entire families fell Sole, crashing and bashing to their death." "This unthinkable horror as they'd all supposedly climbed up some other, way other than Jesus Christ, mainly apostate churches, those having a form of godliness but denying the power (the redemption of sin) thereof." "Little do we realize it but it's one of the primry things we were to learn from Christ Jesus ministry, as s ois it the primary thing we're to learn from ministers and messages of Christ, the soul that sin shall die." "As so no man can approach to God but by him, this Christ Lord as He would be the sacrifical Lamb's blood of life, our, mankind's blood redemption." "Those sins supposedly covered by your worldly life style, those inundated by your pastor and church affliation, those covered over lovingly by your charitable events religiously, socially and or financially, whatever you do to avoid letting go of sin God is not mocked, He judges the heart where all realities lie and again He cannot tolerate sin." "Remember the dream the young lady testified of, the millions of people she saw in a sinlge file line, all dressed in gray trimmed in white robes." "A multitude so vast that the mountains and the valleys where filled with their presence, church people, church people who thought they were going to heaven, but instead they were going to hell." "Going to hell Soledad because despite who or what they were, what they had, or had done, their sins yet remain and nothing was left for them but judgment and damnation." "This faithful young lady described how all those people lined up singled filed seemed to be worry free, how they all were your everyday run of the mill people that you live by, that you shop with, that you play with (parks, threaters, nightclubs and especially church)." "All who'd died and where now convinced how despite their sinful lifestyle." "Remember most people know they have sin, they just don't believe they're guilty of sin unto eternal death, so persuaded they were going to heaven where they instead on their way to a burning hell." "Isn't that based on Jesus forewarning how many people, some baring great gifts will come to lay claims on Him, only He's not reconize them because their sins remain despite the great wondrous works of theirs." "It little matter Maaseiah, it doesn' matter how you paint or draw or describe sin to them, they are people who refuse to believe one that they are sin, and two that God will by his grace judge them so horribly and eternally." "They won't do it and I don't know about you guys but that is really, really frustrating to me, don't do that Sole, don't let their refusal bother you so." "Just think, if the people of the days of the prophets were described by God as those stiff neck, prudent and hard hearted, how they wouldn't listen, imagine, just imagine, what, or how God is to describe this beyond abominable generation at present." "Like Sole we can't let them discourage us from warning them, you know why, because ours is the kingdom of God, and death and judgment immediate and hell is eternal. So May the night I was considering the Intrepid Dream, the car you was driving, the white trimmed in gold, doesn't that mean they were actually even then covered in God's mercy and grace, and when you as the free world of mankind felled from the car it was depiction of mankind faklling from God's grace, yea Sioux, but landing on his feet still, yeah. landing on his feet as to face the judgment of sin that was pending only seconds later." "Remember you guys the first ever vision they showed me?" "It would be the form of wakeup call astronomical, how I was made to look around that entire night club and realize, what?" "All those people, most of them like me, church people were going to hell as so was I, I left that night never to return. They wren't just in that nightclub where they, they're all around us all the time, people who're only safe from a burning hell if they don't die something mankind is cursed to do every given second...this is why Jesus cried to them all often, repent or perish!
For they say the lord seeth us not, the lord is ascended from the earth Eze. 8:12
That you be aware, that you be born again, that you know an apostle of Jesus Christ is among you. As to pluck Ambers from the burning, take heed that no man deceive you. Apb, The Rising Above Ministry (RAM)
For Salvation Pray: I'm sorry Lord God forgive me for my sins, wash me, cleanse me and then, by Jesus Christ receive me in thy glory again...Amen see Roman 10: 9, 10
Hurry Lord Christ Prince Of Peace and get us all the Victory!

Suicide rates are tied to the
economy.
The Boston Globe reported
in 2011:
A new report issued today by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finds that the overall suicide rate
rises and falls with the state of the economy — dating all the way back to the
Great
Depression.
The report, published in the American
Journal of Public Health, found that suicide rates increased in
times of economic crisis: the Great Depression (1929-1933), the end of the New
Deal (1937-1938), the Oil Crisis (1973-1975), and the Double-Dip Recession
(1980-1982). Those rates tended to fall during strong economic times — with
fast growth and low unemployment — like right after World War II and during the
1990s.
During the depths of the Great
Depression, suicide rates in America significantly increased. As the Globe
notes:
The largest increase in the US
suicide rate occurred during the Great Depression surging from 18 in 100,000 up
to 22 in 100,000 …
We’ve previously pointed out that
suicide rates have skyrocketed recently:
The number of deaths by suicide
has also
surpassed car crashes, and many connect the increase in
suicides to
the downturn in the economy. Around 35,000
Americans kill themselves each year (and more American soldiers die
by suicide than combat; the number of veterans committing suicide is
astronomical and under-reported).
So you’re2,059
times more likely to kill yourself than die at the hand of a terrorist.
NBC News reported
in March:
Suicide rates are up alarmingly
among middle-aged Americans, according to the latest federal government
statistics.
They show a 28 percent rise in
suicide rates for people aged 35 to 64 between 1999 and 2010.
RT reports:
In a letter to The Lancet medical
journal, scientists from Britain, Hong Kong and United States said an analysis
of data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicated that while
suicide rates increased slowly between 1999 and 2007, the rate of increase more
than quadrupled from 2008 to 2010, Reuters reported.
Earlier this month, NY Daily
News wrote:
The Great Recession may have been at
the root of a great depression that caused suicides to soar among middle-aged
Americans, a government report speculates.
The annual suicide rate for adults
ages 35 to 64 spiked in the past decade, according to a study from the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
And a shaky economy that nose-dived
into the worst financial crisis since the Depression may be the biggest reason
why.
***
The CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality
Weekly Report said the annual suicide rate jumped 28.4% from 1999-2010.
It was the biggest increase of any
age group, said the CDC, citing “the recent economic downturn” as one of the
“possible contributing factors” for the increase.
“Historically, suicide rates tend to
correlate with business cycles, with higher rates observed during times of
economic hardship,” the report said.
David Stuckler (a senior research
leader in sociology at Oxford), and Sanjay Basu (an assistant professor of
medicine and an epidemiologist in the Prevention Research Center at
Stanford), write in
the New York Times:
The correlation between unemployment
and suicide has been observed since the 19th century.
(And see these articles by the Wall
Street Journal and the Los
Angeles Times. This is obviously true world-wide.
For example, last year the New York Times reported:
The economic downturn that has
shaken Europe for the last three years has also swept away the foundations of
once-sturdy lives, leading to an alarming spike in suicide rates. Especially in
the most fragile nations like Greece, Ireland and Italy, small-business owners
and entrepreneurs are increasingly taking their own lives in a phenomenon some
European newspapers have started calling “suicide by economic crisis.”
In Greece, the suicide rate among
men increased more than 24 percent from 2007 to 2009, government statistics
show. In Ireland during the same period, suicides among men rose more than 16
percent. In Italy, suicides motivated by economic difficulties have increased
52 percent, to 187 in
2010 — the most recent year for which statistics were
available — from 123 in 2005.)
Indeed, more Americans are killing
themselves today than during the Great Depression. Specifically, there were
were 123 million
Americans in 1930. The maximum suicide rate during the depths of the
Great Depression was 22
out of 100,000 Americans. That means that up to 27,060
Americans killed themselves each year.
In contrast, the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control reports that 38,364
Americans committed suicide in 2010. In other words, 2010 suicides were
approximately 142%
of suicides during the depths of the Great Depression. (The suicide rate
is lower today than during the Great Depression, but – given that there aremore
Americans – there are more suicides each year.)
The head of my local county’s mental
health services confirmed to me today that there are now more suicides now than
during the Great Depression.
The
Root Causes: Unemployment and Foreclosure
Why do more people kill themselves
during severe downturns? It’s not just a downturn in the business cycle
in some general sense. It’s more specific than that.
Unemployment and foreclosure are the largest triggers
in increased suicide risk.
David Stuckler and Sanjay Basu write:
People looking for work are about
twice as likely to end their lives as those who have jobs.
***
Unemployment is a leading cause of
depression, anxiety, alcoholism and suicidal thinking.
ABC News points out:
“Joblessness is a risk factor for
suicide,” said Nadine Kaslow, professor of psychology in the Department of
Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University in Atlanta. “The stress
is just overwhelming. … People are freaked out.”
Bloomberg reports:
“The suicide rate started
accelerating in 2008, 2009 and 2010 — someone might still be working, but their
house is underwater, or they’re working but they’re working part-time,” Eric
Caine, the director of the CDC’s Injury Control Research
Center for Suicide Prevention, said by telephone. “These things
ripple into families. There’s an economic stress.”
NY Daily News writes:
“Most people who commit suicide tend
to suffer from major depression, and this vulnerability tends to be brought
forth by very stressful situations like losing one’s home or job,” [Dr. Dan
Iosifescu, director of mood and anxiety disorders program at Mount Sinai
Hospita] said.
NBC News reports:
The American Association for Suicidology says
economic recessions don’t normally affect suicide rates.
“Although US suicide rates did
increase slightly during the years of the Great Depression, reaching a peak
rate of 17.4/100,000 in 1933, subsequent US recessions have not been found to
lead to increased national rates of suicide in the period of or immediately
following each recession,” the group says.
The latest numbers suggest suicide
rates for middle-aged Americans now surpass the peak during the Depression. And
there’s another possible explanation.
“There is a clear and direct
relationship between rates of unemployment and suicide,” the suicidology group
says in its statement.
“The peak rate of suicide in 1933
occurred one year after the total US unemployment rate reached 25 percent of
the labor force. Similar findings have been documented internationally. At the
individual level, unemployed individuals have between two and four times the
suicide rate of those employed.”
The group also raises concern about
the home foreclosure rate.
Indeed, it is likely that more
people have lost their jobs during this “Great Recession” than
during the
Great Depression … especially when you look at the masses
of people who have given up altogether and dropped out of the work force.
And it is possible that more people have lost their homes through foreclosure
than during the Great Depression as well.
No wonder there are so many suicides
…

April 23, 2013
The United States is a deeply
unhappy place. We are a nation that is absolutely consumed by fear,
stress, anger and depression. It isn’t just our economy that is falling
apart – the very fabric of society is starting to come apart at the seams and it
is because of what is happening to us on the inside. The facts and
statistics that I am going to share with you in this article are quite
startling. They are clear evidence that America is a nation that is an
advanced state of decline. We are overwhelmed by fear, stress and
anxiety, and much of the time the ways that we choose to deal with those
emotions lead to some very self-destructive behaviors. Americans have
experienced a standard of living far beyond the wildest dreams of most
societies throughout human history, and yet we are an absolutely miserable
people. Why is this? Why is America #1 in so many negative
categories? Why are we constantly looking for ways to escape the pain of
our own lives? Why are our families falling apart? There is vast
material wealth all around us. So why can’t we be happy?
Just look around you. Are most
of the people around you teeming with happiness and joy? Sadly, the truth
is that most Americans are terribly stressed out. Yeah, many of them may
be able to manage to come up with a smile when they greet you, but most of the
time they are consumed by internal struggles that are eating away at them like
cancer.
So why is this happening? Is
modern life structured in a way that is fundamentally unhealthy?
Below I have posted a short excerpt
from a message that one of Charles Hugh Smith’s readers named Kenneth
Daigle recently sent to him.
I think that it does a good job of describing the incredible stress that many
people contend with on a daily basis…
Think about how our culture is now
structured for the average adult: STRESS,everywhere
you look–commuting in horrible traffic, as you want to scream in
frustration–money stress, to pay rent/house note, tuition, utilities, gas,
insurances, vacations, cable bill, rising food costs, and on and on and
on–stress from family problems, divorce, delinquency, drugs, crime, infidelity,
keeping up with the Jones, etc.
People have too high an expectation
of what they should have out of life, and get overly stressed over it all. How
does all of this manifest itself? A prescription drug culture (Zoloft, Xanax,
etc.) that tricks people into thinking a pill will knock back the stress, when
these drugs, in my opinion, only make things worse.
I am hearing more and more that
people just want to drop out from it all, as they are reaching a breaking
point, and have decided less income and dependency on entitlements will reduce
their stress, and is not so humiliating, so giving up working becomes more
acceptable, to KEEP ONE’S SANITY.
I know I am correct, from the
feedback I hear every day, and the financial media does not see this like I
hear it every day. People don’t want to admit that they are too weak to deal
with stress, so the financial pundits are not aware of this critical factor
because they don’t talk to Joe Sixpack.
Most Americans live lives of “quiet
desperation” that are punctuated by moments of great crisis. We spend our
prime years working for others (making them rich) in order to pay off
debts that we have foolishly accumulated (thus making the banks even wealthier). When
most Americans reach the end of their lives, they look back and wonder what
they actually accomplished.
James Altucher published an
incredible article the other day entitled “Why Do People Hate Their Jobs?“ It did a great job of describing what life is like
for the modern worker in America. The following are a few of the reasons
that he says people tend to hate their jobs…
-Jobs are modern-day slavery. We are
paid just enough to live and not more. You are punished if you ask for more.
*****
-We are often verbally abused on the
job and we take it because we think it’s normal that people would yell at us.
*****
-The government gets up to 50% of
your paycheck and then 10-20% of that goes to kill people on other parts of the
planet, including our own children.
*****
-From 7am to 7pm you are either A)
going to work, B) at work, or C) coming back from work. Hence, the times when
you can be most creative are garbage-compacted into your cubicle.
*****
-When you are paranoid at a job, you
are probably correct. THEY are, in fact, talking about you and backstabbing you
right now.
*****
-You realize that all the dollars
you spent on degrees to get you a job that will make you happy were completely
wasted. You were scammed but you can’t let the next generation know how stupid
you were so now you become part of perpetuating the scam.
*****
-Your spouse is tired of hearing
about your job after six months. And you couldn’t care less about hers. Ten
years later you wake up next to a total stranger. 40 years later you die next
to one.
*****
-When you were a kid you liked to
draw, and read, and run, and laugh, and play, and imagine a magical world.
You’re never going to do any of that again.
*****
-Over time everyone is getting fired
and being replaced by younger, cheaper, more temporary, more robotic, versions
of you. You see this but are afraid to do anything about it.
And of course when we get home from
work there is even more stress. In America today, we are witnessing a
breakdown of the family unlike anything we have ever seen before. The
United States leads the world in divorce and in single person households.
We are having an increasingly difficult time relating to one another, and many
of us drown our sorrows in our addictions. We are addicted to pills, to
alcohol, to food, to entertainment, to sex, to gambling, to shopping and to
anything else that will make us feel good and forget about our problems for a
while.
The following is a collection of
facts and statistics that prove that America is being absolutely consumed by
fear, stress, anger and depression…
-Suicide has now actually surpassed
car accidents as the number one cause of “injury death” in the United States.
-As I mentioned in another article, Americans will spend more than 280 billion dollars on prescription drugs during 2013.
-The percentage of women taking
antidepressants in the U.S. is higher than
in any other country in the world.
-In 2010, the average teen in the
U.S. was taking 1.2 central nervous system drugs. Those are the kinds of drugs which treat conditions
such as ADHD and depression.
-Children in the United States
are three times more likely to
be prescribed antidepressants as children in Europe are.
-According to a recent article by David Kupelian,
“one-third of the nation’s employees suffer chronic debilitating stress, and
more than half of all ‘millennials’ (18 to 33 year olds) experience a level of stress
that keeps them awake at night, including
large numbers diagnosed with depression or anxiety disorder.”
-Tens of millions of Americans use
alcohol and drugs to numb the pain that they are experiencing. In the
United States today, there are about 28 million Americans with
a drinking problem and about22 million Americans use
illegal drugs.
-There are also tens of millions of
Americans that try to deal with anxiety and stress by eating. Of all the
major industrialized nations, America is the most obese. Mexico is #2.
-Back in 1962, only 13 percent of
all Americans were obese. Today, approximately 36
percent of all Americans are obese.
-Many people try to escape from the
pain of reality by getting lost in entertainment. Incredibly, the United
States is tied with the UK for the highest average number of hours spent watching television each week.
-According to the Pew Research
Center, only 51
percent of all American adults are
currently married. Back in 1960, 72
percent of all adults in the United
States were married.
-At this point, approximately one out of every three children in America lives in a home without a father.
-For women under the age of 30
living in the United States today,more
than half of all babies are being born out of wedlock.
-In the United States today, it is
estimated that one out of every four girls
is sexually abused before they become adults.
-If you can believe it, there
are 20
million new STD infections in the
United States every single year.
-It is estimated that about one out of every six Americansbetween the ages of 14 and 49 have genital herpes.
-America has the highest incarceration rate and the largest total prison population in the entire world by a very wide margin.
Fear is one of the primary things
that motivates the American people, and that is a very powerful weapon that can
be used against us.
As I wrote about yesterday, those that commit acts of terror want to get attention and
they want to create fear.
And that is exactly what the Boston
Marathon bombing accomplished. It captured the attention of the nation
for days on end, and it absolutely paralyzed the entire Boston area with fear.
When we allow ourselves to be
terrorized, we actually encourage more terror attacks. When we give
terrorists what they want, it just encourages more psychos to commit acts of
terror. If you don’t believe me, just check out the following links that
I found posted on The Drudge Report on Monday…
The appropriate response to a terror
attack is to refuse to be terrorized. Yes, we should also work to expose
and punish the individuals, organizations and governments that are behind
terror. But we should also not let terror change how we live our lives,
and we should definitely not allow terror to be used as an excuse to rip our liberties and freedoms away.
Sadly, as Ron Paul has detailed, some of our politicians are already calling
for “tighter security” in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing…
Sadly, I expect this week’s tragic
attacks in Boston to be used to justify new restrictions on liberty. Within 48
hours of the attack in Boston, at least one Congressman was calling for
increased use of surveillance cameras to expand the government’s ability to
monitor our actions, while another Senator called for a federal law mandating
background checks before Americans can buy “explosive powder.”
I would not be surprised if the
Transportation Security Administration uses this tragedy to claim new authority
to “screen” Americans before they can attend sporting or other public events.
The Boston attack may also be used as another justification for creating a
National ID Card tied to a federal database with “biometric” information. The
only thing that will stop them is if the American people rediscover the wisdom
of Benjamin Franklin that you cannot achieve security by allowing government to
take their liberties.
But no matter how much liberty and
freedom we give up, we will never be 100% safe. Bad people are always
going to do bad things, and unfortunately we are probably going to see some
pretty nightmarish things in the years ahead as the world becomes even more
unstable.
If we allow the bad guys to get us
so frightened that we throw out the U.S. Constitution and abandon our liberties
and our freedoms, then we are the ones who lose.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Yes, the years ahead are going to be
tough. The economic collapse is going to accelerate greatly, there will
be tremendous natural disasters, there will be war in the Middle East and there
will be other problems that we cannot even conceive of right now. At the
same time, the American people will continue to become even angrier and even
more frustrated. According to a recent Pew Research survey,
the percentage of Americans with a favorable view of the federal government is
now at an all-time low. As the economy crumbles, there will likely be
great civil unrest as people demand solutions. Unfortunately, our
problems took decades to develop and they will not be solved overnight even if
we did have good people in office.
So why am I saying all of this?
And why am I constantly warning
about the coming economic collapse?
Is it because I want to create fear?
No, just the opposite of that.
I am a watchman on the wall.
In ancient times, a watchman would
warn the people when the enemy was approaching.
When you receive the warning, there
are a few different ways that you can respond to it…
#1 You can become consumed with fear
and run away from the enemy. Unfortunately, cowards never get the victory
in the end.
#2 You can dismiss the warning and
pretend that the enemy is not approaching. But then when the enemy comes
you will be completely unprepared.
#3 You can do everything possible to
get prepared to face the enemy that is coming with strength and courage.
And that is how I would encourage
all of you to approach the coming economic collapse and the other great
problems that we will soon be experiencing as a nation.
Do not be afraid.
Instead, be strong and courageous
and prepare well for the storms that are coming.
