Virtually ever since I started this blog, I have focused on what is either wrong in the 'church' or wrong with other religions and so on. However the Lord has been speaking to me very clearly for some time now that I must stop being involved with anything that causes debate and antagonism.
My first attempt at trying to go down this path, was the post that I wrote about being Judgmental. Since then I have still been highlighting negative things that are going on in the World.
Jesus told us that ALL of these things would occur and that we are to LOOK UP and totally rely on our God.
The Lord gave me the following scripture and so I will from now on speak upbuilding things, that reflect the LIVING WATER of LIFE flowing from our dear Lord & King Yeshua.
I will leave it to others to make comments about corrupt heretic leaders within the church. I need to remain in Gods Love & Grace and concentrate totally on the goodness of our Lord and not get sidetracked with things that I cannot make any difference about and only GOD CAN.
Final Exhortations
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

THE BEAST, 666, LEVIATHAN.......ISRAEL....CYPRUS..&..LEBANON
LEVIATHAN OIL/GAS FIELD FOUND IN CYPRUS-ISRAEL-LEBANON WATERS, WHAT WILL IT BRING?
Catastrophe or Opportunity to Israel-Lebanon-Cyprus Borders
The Mark of the beast is 666 which as Bible Students we know is MANS number. However the Greek word used in Revelation 13:18 for Man is really the word anthropos, which means Mankind, Human kind including Women as well.
In our Modern World OIL and GAS has become the new Gold and brings out the worst in Mankind who make up NATIONS.
The “The IMAGE of the WILD BEAST of Revelation comes out of the Sea”
The Oil and Gas comes out of the SEA'S of Israel, Cyprus & Lebanon
Oil as we ALL know especially now, is causing all sorts of problems amongst Mankind and it is causing anthropos (people) to display their worst side (actions like beasts).
The number 666 is an imperfect Human number and is short of the perfect number of the Lord which is 7
These are just things to think about as you read this report.
A gigantic natural gas field that could yield millions of barrels of oil was recently discovered on the maritime border between Israel, Lebanon, the Gaza Strip, Cyprus, and Northern Cyprus. While it could be a military catastrophe, steps are being taken to divide the spoils.
Scientists recently discovered a massive offshore reserve of around 122 trillion cubic feet of natural gas called the Levant Basin Province. While it is one of the world's richest natural gas reserves, the Levant Basin Province is located between countries with inherited amounts of mutual hatred. It straddles the sea borders of Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, The Republic of Cyprus and the Illegal (De Facto) Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
The largest section discovered so far, the Leviathan gas field, is believed to possibly contain, alongside natural gas, 4.2 billion barrels of oil. Leviathan straddles the Israeli-Lebanese maritime border. Israel is currently in a state of war with Lebanon and does not recognize the De-facto Hamas Palestinian government in the Gaza Strip and nor does Gods Word the Bible.
Sharp words are already being exchanged between Jerusalem and Beirut. Upon discovery of the fields in June, Lebanon warned Israel not to drill within their maritime borders. Israel then escalated the rhetoric with military threats, as Minister of National Infrastructures Uzi Landau threatened to use force to protect the natural gas fields.
Following Landau's announcement, sophisticated security arrangements for Israeli natural gas rigs were leaked to the country's press. As of press time, further surveying is underway.
It is not unimaginable that, in the next regional war, Israeli and Lebanese military elements could target the other's natural gas drills. This has the potential to cause a regional ecological catastrophe.
However, progress is being made.
ISRAEL HAS ALREADY MADE AN AGREEMENT WITH CYPRUS.
According to Batsheva Sobelman of the Los Angeles Times
Israeli diplomats say the agreement should secure Israel's economic interests in the Mediterranean. Cyprus says this does not conflict with a similar agreement signed with Lebanon, still awaiting ratification in parliament.
Cyprus is ending up as the natural mediator in this dispute. While sections of the Levant Basin Province stray into the county's maritime borders, their shares are comparatively small. More importantly, Cyprus enjoys warm relations with both Israel and Lebanon. When large-scale harvesting of these natural gas fields begins, Cyprus may be able to work with other third parties to broker an agreement between Israel and Lebanon.
Meanwhile, as so often happens in the Middle East, other countries are trying to extract as much influence as possible from the natural gas hysteria. The now Ousted Egyptian Foreign Ministry stated that they were “closely following” the Cyprus-Israel agreement, as reported by al-Masry al-Youm, but as we now know the Egyptian Government has been taken over within a very short time, so what NOW?
The ministry is carrying out technical and legal research to ensure that borders under the agreement between Israel and Cyprus do not affect the Egyptian zone, [government spokesperson Hassam] Zaki said.
Turkey also went on the diplomatic offensive against the Cyprus-Israel agreement. A Foreign Ministry statement called the maritime border accord “null and void” because it ignored the jurisdiction of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was formed following a military invasion of the Republic of Cyprus by Turkey in 1974 following massive inter communal violence. The only country to recognize the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is TURKEY, and 35,000 Turkish troops are currently stationed in Northern Cyprus.
Turkey has stated that it “does not have any claim regarding the maritime areas” subject to the demarcation agreement. Cyprus however announced plans to have Noble Energy explore the 800,000 acres of Cypriot waters within the Levant Basin a year prior to the demarcation agreement.
IS THE BEAST ABOUT TO RISE?
Stay Awake and watch everything going on and ask the Lord what it means
Blessings as ever

IN VIEW OF YESHUA'S WORDS IN MATTHEW 7:1, CAN WE JUDGE ANYONE?
Often when I post articles and comments on this blog, I wonder if I am being overly Judgemental especially with regards to the words of our dear Lord Yeshua recorded in Matthew 7. These are the verses that really made me think a number of years ago, when I was still captive to the Watchtower religion. I felt that the organisation were and still are very Judgemental towards every one of other faiths on this planet.
So I thought I would paste in the first 20 verses of Matthew 7 from the NKJV of the Holy Scriptures.
Notice Jesus words from verse 15-20
Do Not Judge
1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! 12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
The Narrow Way
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because[a] narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
So after reading these verses, I feel that "If we see and hear FALSE PROPHETS" then we as Christians should sound the warning bells.
Jesus told us quite clearly that we would know these people by their fruits. These imposters are ravenous wolves, just like their father the Devil. If a literal wolf came to devour our children, would we just stand by and let the animal do what he wanted, or would we sound the alarm?
If we say nothing and do nothing, then we are condoning what is going on within the church. It amazes me how people can try to justify the breaking of Gods Laws by relying on Gods Grace. Many will say that God loves us so much that he covers over our GROSS sins, no matter what we do. The whole thing about Grace and Salvation is that it is FREE but we need to repent and turn around from the carnal nature of the flesh and try to live a life that shows we are transformed into a new creation.
Yes we are still imperfect, we still sin, but there is a world of difference in sinning deliberately and continually, or falling down and then repenting and turning away from the sin.
We know that we cannot judge as regards to a persons eternal salvation, only the LORD can do that. Also we should NEVER say to even an enemy of the TRUTH that they are going to Hell, but rather we leave ALL judging of a persons life to our LORD YESHUA.
If we have this attitude it will keep us balanced when we highlight errors and heresy within the ecclessia.
So I would like to wish blessings on all who look at this site and may the Lord protect you and lead you to RIVERS OF LIVING WATERS.

ANCIENT CHURCH FOUND IN ISRAEL
Israeli archaeologists today said they have uncovered a 1,500-year-old church, including an unusually well-preserved mosaic floor with images of lions, foxes, fish and peacocks.
Amir Ganor of the Israel Antiquities Authority said the church in the hills south-west of Jerusalem was active between the fifth and seventh centuries.
Archaeologists began digging after discovering that thieves were plundering the site.
Mr Ganor said archaeologists uncovered a mosaic "unique in its craftsmanship and level of preservation".
Though initially identifying the building as a synagogue, they concluded it was a Byzantine church.
Journalists were given a brief glimpse of the mosaic today before it was covered up again until funding becomes available for its proper preservation.
Thank the Lord for these early Christians. May Israel be covered with the real Church of God and accept their rightful King Yeshua.

WE KNOW VERY LITTLE REALLY, SO WE NEED TO STOP JUDGING AS JESUS WARNED US.
This is a true story and it will give you the chills. This is a beautiful and touching story of love and perseverance. Well worth the read.
At the prodding of my friends I am writing this story. My name is Mildred
Honor and I am a former elementary school music teacher from DesMoines ,
Iowa .
I have always supplemented my income by teaching piano lessons - something I have done for over 30 years.
During those years I found that children have many levels of musical ability and even though I have never had the pleasure of having a prodigy, I have taught some very talented students.
However, I have also had my share of what I call musically challenged'
pupils - one such pupil being Robby..
Robby was 11 years old when his mother (a single mom) dropped him off for
his first piano lesson. I prefer that students (especially boys) begin at an earlier age, which I explained to Robby. But Robby said that it had always been his mother's dream to hear him play the piano, so I took him as a student.
Well, Robby began his piano lessons and from the beginning I thought it was a hopeless endeavor. As much as Robby tried, he lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm needed to excel. But he dutifully reviewed his scales and some elementary piano pieces that I require all my students
to learn. Over the months he tried and tried while I listened and cringed
and tried to encourage him.
At the end of each weekly lesson he would always say 'My mom's going to hear me play someday'. But to me, it seemed hopeless, he just did not have any inborn ability.
I only knew his mother from a distance as she dropped Robby off or waited in her aged car to pick him up. She always waved and smiled, but never dropped in.
Then one day Robby stopped coming for his lessons. I thought about calling him, but assumed that because of his lack of ability he had decided to pursue something else. I was also glad that he had stopped coming - he was a bad advertisement for my teaching!
Several weeks later I mailed a flyer recital to the students' homes. To my
surprise, Robby (who had received a flyer) asked me if he could be in the
recital. I told him that the recital was for current pupils and that
because he had dropped out, he really did not qualify.
He told me that his mother had been sick and unable to take him to his piano lessons, but that he had been practicing. 'Please Miss Honor, I've just got to play' he insisted. I don't know what led me to allow him to play in the recital - perhaps it was his insistence or maybe something inside of me saying that it would be all right.
The night of the recital came and the high school gymnasium was packed with parents, relatives and friends. I put Robby last in the program, just before I was to come up and thank all the students and play a
finishing piece. I thought that any damage he might do would come at the end of the program and I could always salvage his poor performance through my curtain closer'.
Well, the recital went off without a hitch, the students had been practicing and it showed. Then Robby came up on the stage. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair looked as though he had run an egg beater through it. 'Why wasn't he dressed up like the other students?' I thought. 'Why didn't his mother at least make him comb his hair for this
special night?'
Robby pulled out the piano bench, and I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen to play Mozart's Concerto No. 21 in C Major. I was not prepared for what I heard next. His fingers were light on the keys, they even danced nimbly on the ivories. He went from pianissimo to fortissimo, from allegro to virtuoso his suspended chords that Mozart demands were magnificent!
Never had I heard Mozart played so well by anyone his age.
After six and a half minutes he ended in a grand crescendo, and everyone was on their feet in wild applause! Overcome and in tears, I ran up on stage and put my arms around Robby in joy. 'I have never heard you play like that Robby, how did you do it?
Through the microphone Robby explained: 'Well, Miss Honor .... remember I
told you that my mom was sick? Well, she actually had cancer and passed away this morning. And well ...... she was born deaf, so tonight was the first time she had ever heard me play, and I wanted to make it special.'
There wasn't a dry eye in the house that evening. As the people from Social Services led Robby from the stage to be placed in to foster care, I noticed that even their eyes were red and puffy. I thought to myself then how much richer my life had been for taking Robby as my pupil.
No, I have never had a prodigy, but that night I became a prodigy ....... of Robby. He was the teacher and I was the pupil, for he had taught me the
meaning of perseverance and love and believing in yourself, and may be
even taking a chance on someone and you didn't know why.
Robby was killed years later in the senseless bombing of the Alfred P.
Murray Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April, 1995.
And now, a footnote to the story. If you are thinking about forwarding this message, you are probably wondering which people on your address list aren't the 'appropriate' ones to receive this type of message. The person who sent this to you believes that we can all make a difference!
So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice
Do we act with compassion or do we pass up that opportunity and leave the
world a bit colder in the process?
Well I decided to POST this on this blog as it just shows that NONE OF US KNOW WHAT OTHERS ARE REALLY GOING THROUGH.
Stop Judging lest WE be judged.......Matthew 7

THE KILLER GOING INTO YOUR MOUTH
For many years we have used Natural means of healing as far as we can. We try to be careful about what we eat and drink. We do not smoke, we drink very little alcohol and use Herbs and other natural remedies rather than Drugs.
When we went to Turkey for our Getaway trip in October organised by an American group of Christians, we had the free use of Doctors, Chiropracters and foot massagers.
I had my blood pressure taken and was rather shocked to that see it was quite elevated. My BP has been fairly steady for many years.
Rather than take a pill to reduce the BP, I began researching the net for Natural products to help lower it. I purchased a unit called a Resperate, which helps slow down the breathing. Christine also got me on the best available herbs she knows to lower the BP.
Since October I have been doing these things and yet my BP is still around the same as it was in Turkey. As we were talking about it on Thursday, Chris had a revelation that it could be some kind of metal, such as lead or similar as as she knows all about Heavy Metals and what they can cause.
We have been very mindful over the years about the dangers of Amalgum in the teeth and also FLOURIDE used in toothpaste.
Both Mercury and flouride are deadly poisons. So we have used a toothpaste called Kingfisher brand that is claimed to be safe and uncontaminated.
When we were in the UK a friend purchased 4 tubes for us, but they contained flouride. We normally always use the non flouride version. However we decided to use it up and when its gone, get the other one.
But as Chris was determined to get to the bottom of my elevated BP, she did some searches and found the terrible truth about deadly FLOURIDE and its effects on the human body over time.
Fluoride is an interesting molecule. In the second world war Hitler wanted to put fluoride in the water of the occupied countries in order to make people MORE DOCILE. Thats why fluoride is also a component of many tranquilizers.
In Germany the addition of fluoride to the drinking water is considered unvoluntary medication. In many european countries no fluoride is added to the drinking water. In the Netherlands they give children fluoride pills instead. In the US almost all the drinking water contains fluoride. Its for maintaining good teeth says the goverment. This is garbage, because in europe, where there is no fluoride in drinking water, peoples teeth are as healthy as in the US. In the UK and especially the Midlands where we lived for 20 years they use the highest quanitity of flouride in the public water system
The real reason to add fluoride to the drinking water is reducing peoples IQ and to make them more docile. NEW WORLD ORDER tactics.
Fluoride accumulates in calcified tissues. One of these tissues is in our brains. In Britain they found very high levels in the tissue of people who had died. Some people say that exposure to fluoride is linked to Alzheimers disease. Some time ago they did an interesting experiment in a US town. Half of the town got fluoride in the water. The other half got normal unpoisend water. They found that woman living in the side of the town with fluoride in the water got their period earlier. Probably this has something to do with the organ in the brain in which fluoride accumulates.
Dr. Phyllis Mullenix became well known in the field of neurotoxicology when she developed a new, more accurate system of analyzing chemicals effects on the brain and central nervous system. The new technology was called the Computer Pattern Recognition System.
She received funding from a variety of high profile sources, and consulted with Exxon, Mobil, 3M, DuPont and others in her early career. She was very well received until she began to investigate the effects of fluoride on the central nervous system. Ultimately, her career was destroyed because of her investigation.
This presentation by Mullenix at Clark University in 1996 was done two years after she was fired from her toxicology position at Forsyth Dental Center. Mullenix covers vital information regarding secrecy surrounding Fluoride and the Manhattan Project and much more. For more information be sure to check out Christopher Bryson’s book The Fluoride Deception.
A vital piece of information that Mullenix covers is a communication that took place between Harold Hodge (head toxicologist for the Manhattan Project) and Lt. Col. Rhodes on May 1, 1946. Hodge writes in the letter, in which he uses “F” to abbreviate Fluoride,

The above site gives proof of all the detrimental cases of flouride poisoning.
Christine went on to find that it also causes Kidney Disease and is also implicated in many heart conditions as well. Our studies are ongoing, but I felt it wise to warn all those who visit the blog.
Satan is a destroyer and he uses the powers of darkness to pollute us and to get rid of us.
Keep awake and stop using the Colgate, Mouthwashes and any product containing FLOURIDE and get a water filter for your tap water.

When we went to Turkey for our Getaway trip in October organised by an American group of Christians, we had the free use of Doctors, Chiropracters and foot massagers.
I had my blood pressure taken and was rather shocked to that see it was quite elevated. My BP has been fairly steady for many years.
Rather than take a pill to reduce the BP, I began researching the net for Natural products to help lower it. I purchased a unit called a Resperate, which helps slow down the breathing. Christine also got me on the best available herbs she knows to lower the BP.
Since October I have been doing these things and yet my BP is still around the same as it was in Turkey. As we were talking about it on Thursday, Chris had a revelation that it could be some kind of metal, such as lead or similar as as she knows all about Heavy Metals and what they can cause.

EARTHQUAKES IN ONE PLACE AFTER ANOTHER
What with huge floods like they have had in Australia and now earthquakes in ENGLAND, we are seeing an increase in the END TIME scenario.
Jesus warned that in the LAST DAYS there would be an increase in EARTHQUAKES and many other things.
This is the quotation from Matthew 24:7-14
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and realm against realm, and there shall be famine, and pestilence, and EARTHQUAKES IN DIVERS PLACES.
8 All these are but the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my Name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall be increased, the love of many shall be cold.
13 But he that endureth to the end, he shall be saved.
14 And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached through the whole world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come.
THE SECOND EARTHQUAKE TO SHAKE ENGLAND WITHIN TWO WEEKS
An earthquake has shaken northern England for the second time in a fortnight.
The tremor, measuring 3.6 on the Richter scale, struck near Ripon, North Yorkshire, at 9.02pm on Monday and was felt as far afield as West Yorkshire, Tyne & Wear, and Cumbria.
Residents living near the epicentre described hearing crockery rattling and doors shaking on their hinges for several seconds. The rumble followed a quake of magnitude 3.5 which struck in Coniston in the Lake District shortly on December 21.
Chris Allinson, 17, was watching television with his family when he felt last night's quake hit his home in Ripon.
The A-level student, who is studying at Giggleswick School, said: "I heard a loud rumbling like the sound of a big tractor passing the house outside. Things started shaking and the dogs started barking. It got louder and louder and I jumped up to get outside.
"Then there was just this rush of sound like a snowdrift falling from a tiled roof, and after that, silence. We stood outside and stared at each other."
Staff at the Swinton Park Hotel in Masham, 10 miles from the epicentre of the quake, also felt the earth move. One of the front of house staff, a 27-year-old who did not wish to be named, said two quakes hit the hotel.
She said: "The first lasted three seconds or so and rattled everything on the shelves. Seconds later there was a second quake, shorter this time. I thought, 'That was an earthquake', but then thought it could not have been - you don't get earthquakes in Yorkshire."
The British Geological Survey said the tremor struck about six miles west of Ripon. "Many people throughout the region have reported having felt this event," the organisation said.
Dr Aoife O'Mongain from the BGS added: "It would have only lasted for a couple of seconds. And at that strength it is not likely that it would have caused any damage. People living in the vicinity may have felt their windows rattling as if a lorry was going past."
Mankind thinks he knows what is going on and yet so many are BLIND to the real things that are happening in the Supernatural realm. These are wake up calls, but IS ANYONE TAKING ANY NOTICE that we are living in the FINAL DAYS.
Let us proclaim the GOSPEL and take on the MISSION of JESUS CHRIST as recorded in chapter 24 of Matthew. Go ye there forth and preach the GOOD NEWS that our Lord and King is getting ready to take over.
Every blessing for this Nea Chronia
