Surviving This Global Economic Tsunami!
As I arose this morning, Holy Spirit spoke to me concerning a number of issues. It was then, that I realized we had been communicating off and on throughout the night. For the last few nights, my sleep has been interrupted or shortened by events and happenings that are presently transpiring. To be honest with you, they are unfolding as I speak and the balance of power is shifting in the Earth.
Unfortunately, most of the body of Messiah and many of our fellow compatriots continue to live life in America as if nothing is changing. With that said, I am going to share my heart with you concerning the things that Holy Spirit is speaking to me. When I say Holy Spirit is speaking, I do not mean that I heard a voice in my head or out of the air; but rather awoke and realized that I had been involved in a Spiritual conversation with Holy Spirit. I also realize that this is going to be difficult for some of you to believe what I am saying because you have been influenced by psychology, or brainwashed by secular thought concerning this issue. As difficult as it may be for you to hear and obey the voice of the Spirit, I am asking you to consider that what I am hearing is something that could represent the difference between survival and the end of life, as we know it on this planet.
One of the things to which He is speaking has to do with the paralyzing paradigms that many ministries labor under, and due to out-of-balance and false teachings, they continue to operate out-of-order in many cases. It has always amazed me how a pastor of a local congregation can pray for his people to be blessed and to walk in favor, while at the same time, turn around and attempt to manipulate the flock by trying to control the finances that are flowing in and out of the house. What I am going to say next will not be broadly received by many pastors. However, it is true just the same.
Many pastors continue to posture themselves as if they have been given the responsibility to determine how and where people under their care make and spend their own money. The primary reason that this continues to be a problem is because they have mistaken a calling to the Ministry of Yahshua as an under-shepherd, with the responsibility of the owner and keeper of the sheep.
The last time I checked, Yahshua has not relinquished any of his ownership, and therefore has not given any under-shepherd the responsibility or authority to keep the sheep from becoming sons, ministers and businessmen in their own right. Please do not think that I am pastor bashing, or that I have a problem with the local work. On the contrary, I am speaking to a problem that I continue to face in some local church works, especially works where pastors and leaders are trying to dumb down their sheep through keeping them in the dark concerning their own untapped potential, or by forbidding them to do something outside the box, or anything with which they may not agree, or with which they are uncomfortable. Sirs, I mean no disrespect; but serving the King and His interest has very little to do with that which you may or may not be comfortable, and it is not necessary for you to always agree with or condone something for it to be right and good. Sorry, that responsibility is Holy Spirit’s and His alone. It is your responsibility to feed, tend and keep the sheep as an under-shepherd who is under authority and is leading by representation. It is not your responsibility to protect the sheep from other believers, ministries or valid business opportunities, and it would be wrong to think that you have the ability to protect them from themselves or from every unpleasant experience. Again, that is the sole responsibility of the Head of the Ekklesia and our Father.
Pastors and leaders you need to prepare to receive the sons of Yahweh that are rising up in the Earth. The Ekklesia is emerging right before your very eyes. They refuse to be spoon fed any longer and will not be limited by the paralyzing paradigms of wicked pastors and evil leaders. They have been weaned from the teats of all unhealthy, co-dependent relationships with their pastors, leaders, family and friends. They have broken out of the prison of religion, and have moved away from the controlling forces of the American Church System.
Pastors and leaders, I am warning and preparing you in advance for what is coming. If you do not shift in your thinking now, and become open to the new and fresh ideas of the pioneering spirits of an apostolic people under your care, they are going to find a land and frontier to conquer without you, and they are going to be joined to a people who walk in the genius of an understanding from another realm. If you do not open your arms to receive Marketplace ministers, Kingdom entrepreneurs and other businessmen and women within your ranks, they are going to find real and living kingdom relationships with whom they can work, fellowship and relate. Now, when they do, they are going to sow millions of dollars into the ongoing work of the ministry for the purpose of advancing the Kingdom. They know and fully realize that time is short, and that they have been sold a bill of goods that is less than kosher.
They are weary from trading time and life for wages. They have come to understand that jobs are going away, and that working for someone else is not the answer. They have now come to the place that the only thing that really matters, is what they are building for the long haul and eternity.
Pastors and leaders you have hoarded Yahweh’s tithes and in some cases squandered Yahweh’s offerings; but now you are being held accountable by the sons of Yahweh who will no longer be subject to your abuse of power, or your rejection and misappropriation. Unless you repent now and truly change you are going to lose your rank in the Kingdom as well as your honor and respect among the people of Yahweh. Until you are willing to share the responsibility of leadership with the other ministry gifts and anointings that have been sent to the body of Messiah, and equally distribute the tithe for the purpose of providing for the needs of the ministry, you can expect to get weaker and weaker in power as you see your congregations dwindle to nothing, and your finances go away with them.
He that has an ear to hear let him hear what the Spirit is saying!
I beseech you therefore brethren in the name of Yahshua to take heed to what I am sharing with you. Consider that more jobs will be going away and more companies and corporations are going to fail. When they do, only Kingdom entrepreneurs and shrewd businessmen and women who are frugal and prepared, will be able to survive the days ahead. If you can hear it, this is our day, and this is our hour to shine forth as the noonday sun and glorify Yahweh in the Earth as we align ourselves for a greater Kingdom purpose and prepare for His Second Coming.
With that said, I want you to know that I have both established works and multiple businesses, and I am speaking out of the experience and wisdom that I gained from doing both.
I realize that this word does not apply to everyone reading it; but what we do with this information could very well determine the outcome of our future together. In one way, I am forced to have multiple streams of income because of a lack of education, the job market and the condition of our economy; but to be honest with you, I learned a long time ago that even educated people with diplomas and degrees can, without notice, find themselves unemployed or unemployable overnight.
It is truly my hope that this does not apply to you or anybody in your family; but the reality is that millions of people are going to be forced to find gainful employment in the near future, or they are going to have to find a leveraging opportunity that will build and develop a distribution system that will produce passive residual income for the rest of their lives. It is sad to say that in 39 years of church life and ministry, I have never found a permanent land or people who will outlive me or leave a living legacy and inheritance to my children’s children. However, I am determined to change that in the next two years, and I do not want to look back and see you struggling to survive without anybody in your life to help you succeed. I am related to businessmen and women whose tithe and offering exceed your annual income. Just think that could be you.
Together we could build and develop something that will empower us to finance the Kingdom in a way that really speaks of Yahweh’s provision and the transference of wealth that is taking place right now. I really do not care whether you are still working, retired or semi-retired, your livelihood is at stake, and your life is in danger. The question is, will you be able to continue when your IRAs and 401Ks and your funds are depleted? What about when you lose your job and the US currency is worthless or no longer the accepted medium of exchange. Will you live life to the fullest now, or die penniless and alone. The choice is yours, but you need to know that I am on to something big, and it will not be taken from me this time.
• I hear the Spirit saying, that you have worked, saved and stored up to the end; but it will not sustain you in this hour. Do not trust in uncertain riches that perish with the using; but rather turn and trust Me with your whole heart and life. For I am a very present help in a time of need, and I will direct your paths in this hour. Do not say, that I will go here or go there, and I will do this, that, or the other. I have prepared a place for you and in that place I will provide, protect and keep you in this hour.
Brethren, if you are hoarding for your own purposes, saving or storing up for yourselves, you will be unprepared for what is coming, and what you have will be taken from you or become worthless. Now is the time to make a decision for your life and eternity. Will you come together with other life-minded believers who are taking the Kingdom by force, or will you end up standing in the same soup line hoping to receive a government handout in the future?
• If you are ready to enter the dragon and get in the fight, I am waiting for you; but I am not going to expend any more energy or waste any more time on non-productive relationships that are going nowhere. If what I am saying is offending you, then I am not talking to you. The last thing that I want to do is to hurt your feelings or provoke you to wrath; but you have already bought into the lie this is the end of world and it is all over but the shouting. You believe that Yahshua’s literal return could take place any minute. Now, I want to go on record saying, that I believe that is a categorical lie, and that He will not be coming in person again until He first shows up in His people. And if that does not get on your one nerve, maybe this will. You neither believe that Yahshua is returning any minute, nor are you prepared for the advent of His return. Indeed if the pre-tribulation rapture theory was true, you would most likely get left behind, and then we would be forced to put up with you until you denied Yahshua, or got your head cut off. (That’s Bad, Lord forgive me). Now think about this, if you really believed any of what is being prophesied by the current event-driven prophetic bunch, you would not be worried about your retirement accounts and how you are going to make it. Let’s face it, we are still here for a reason, and the last time I checked the headlines did not read “millions missing” and we have not found anybodies clothes folded neatly at the foot of their bed. Please! Give me a break! Get a life and stand up and fight, or get out of the way, shut up and sit down..
Guys, I need you in my life and I want you on my team, but I am not going to wait until Jesus comes back, or you leave, to do something with the life I have been given. If we are no more related than that, I will pray for you, and hope that you do not suffer too much before you pass on to your reward.

As you know, I have just arrived as a response to your gracious invitation, and I have read what you have posted here. I recently hung a website out in the market place - areyouworriedyet.com
It as to do with presenting a book by that title. In light of what you have shared above I am prompted to share the blog entries I have posted there: ( I still haven't figured out how to make that blog interactive)
The blog title is "ECONOMIES in CONFLICT." On 12/9/08 I posted the first entry under the heading, "The End From the Beginning":
"And he requires everyone - small and great, rich and poor, free and slave - to be given a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark: the beast's name or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom:
The one who has understanding must calculate the number of the beast,
because it is the number of a man.
His number is 666."
Revelation 13:16-18 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
Jay: (doing the math)
In the end, it becomes clear that fiat money is a repudiation of the love of God.
On 1/10/09 I posted the second entry under the heading, "Insolvency":
Wikipedia gives us, the following insight:
The most common solvent in everyday life is water.
That said, we could say that to be “insolvent” is to be without water, or without sufficient water to meet the need.
From here it is but a short jump to think of things in terms of “liquidity.” The problem with illiquidity, (insolvency) is that indebtedness is like a desert. The rain just disappears into the sand.
Because Federal Reserve money is clouded with debt, no amount of rain from that source can every take away our thirst. What is needed now is real water, real liquidity, not debt liquidity. As the old song says:
What the world needs now, is love sweet love,
that’s the only thing that there’s just too little of...
Returning once more to our last entry:
THE END FROM THE BEGINNING
There I am reminded, “never the less I have this against you, you have left your first love, remember the height from which you have fallen, lest I come and take away your candle stick...” Perhaps in this case, that might be the Statue of Liberty or, at least her torch. Perhaps you have already noticed how dark things have become.
The thing that gives new or “first” love its power is the chemistry, the solvency, the liquidity.
That liquidity is still available, but not from the Fed.
Finally, on 1/20/09 I posted the most recent entry under the heading, "MONEY AND THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT":
Money, properly understood is the universal good of the market place.
The only role appropriate to government, in fact incumbent on government, is that of preventing private banks from doing the kinds of things that the government empowered central banking system has been doing. The policy and practice of the U.S. central banking system has had a more devastating effect on the economy, foreign and domestic than has ever been seen in human history.
If this remains doubtful, all we need to do is wait just a little longer until the fruit of our present monetary folly emerges from the smoke and mirrors of our monetary experts, political, academic, and media.
