G-20...heads up! Please ASK for God's help!

"We want a new world to come out of this." -Nicolas Sarkozy

Today, November 14 and Saturday, November 15, a G-20 Leaders Summit on Financial Markets and the World Economy is convened in Washington D.C. The emergency summit was called two months ago by President George W. Bush to discuss the international financial crisis. Most of the discussions will take place behind closed doors, with much of the focus on reducing the economic influence of the United States and coerce the U.S. into new global financial alignments, similar to those of the "Bretton Woods System" established in 1944. (See below)

Leading up to the Summit, Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown said, "My message is that we must be: internationalist not protectionist; interventionist not neutral; progressive not reactive; and forward looking not frozen by events. We can seize the moment and in doing so build a truly global society." Brown wants to bring economic decisions into alignment with social needs around the world. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, after meeting with European leaders in Paris on October 4th, called for the global summit to implement "a real and complete reform of the international financial system." Sarkozy said, "We want a new world to come out of this." Oh my gosh.

In announcing the summit in early October, Bush said, "We live in a globalized world. We want to make sure that we're effective at what we do. Once we made the decision that there is a role for the federal government to move to stabilize the markets we want to make sure that all of us move in the best coordinated way as possible." The President of the European Union agreed with Bush during an October 18th meeting at Camp David. Jose Manuel Barroso said, The international financial system -- its basic principles and regulations and its institutions need reform. We need a new global financial order." We need to be in serious prayer this weekend.

The Bretton Woods system of monetary management established the rules for commercial and financial relations among the world's major industrial states. The Bretton Woods system was the first example of a fully negotiated monetary order intended to govern monetary relations among independent nation-states. Preparing to rebuild the international economic system as World War II was still raging, 730 delegates from all 44 Allied nations gathered at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, for the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference. The delegates deliberated upon and signed the Bretton Woods Agreements during the first three weeks of July 1944. Setting up a system of rules, institutions, and procedures to regulate the international monetary system, the planners at Bretton Woods established the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) (now one of five institutions in the World Bank Group) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). These organizations became operational in 1945 after a sufficient number of countries had ratified the agreement.

It is important that we intercede about this meeting and ask the Holy Spirit to intervene on behalf of the sovereignty and Constitutional identity of the United States.

To intercede with understanding and pray into the aftermath of this G-20 Summit, you are encouraged to study about the Bretton Woods conference. This weekend's G-20 meeting is being referred to as "Bretton Woods II." Generals of Intercession has posted a historic study by Martha Lucia on the Bretton Woods System.

What's This World Coming To? G20

When we were discussing this morning the summit of world leaders meeting today, what the history is of our banks, commerce, the feds. The Bretton Woods System read “Trading with the Enemy” written by Charles Higham, copyright 1983. 1995 published by Barnes and Noble books

Was lead to this verse.


II Timothy 3:1-9 2 Timothy 3
Godlessness in the Last Days
1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

6They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. 8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth—men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.




What is this world coming to? The Word of God let's us know exactly what will take place with regard to this world, the end time events, and the glorious future for the children of God. Last week we spoke of the dangers of any study of prophecy.

* Setting Dates and Making Predictions.
* Interpreting Scripture in light of Headlines.
* Trying to Answer Unanswerable Questions.
* Ignoring the Practical Application of Scripture.

With that in mind, we want to continue this evening with a message that will answer the question of 'What this world is coming to'.

Read: 2 Timothy 3:1-9

I. Signs of the Times

A. The Last Days are described as "Perilous Times" (v.1).

1. How do we know we are near the end?

2. We look to the signs of the times.

3. In this passage we learn that the last days will be "perilous times."

4. "Perilous" comes from a word that means "violent, dangerous or savage."

5. It's only other usage in the NT is in Mt.8:28 where the demon-possessed men are described as "exceedingly fierce."

Mt 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

6. Though evil has been with us in every generation, it seems that standards of morality and decency are ignored more and more as time goes on.

7. This wickedness will reach an 'exceedingly fierce' point as the last days draw to an end.

B. People Will Lack Character (v2-3).

1. The people will be "lovers of themselves."

a. Never in history has our society been so motivated by self-gratification.

b. Me-first has become the American way of life.

c. What's in it for me? Whether it is work, play, or even worship.

2. The people will be "lovers of money."

a. The refusal to deny self anything has already brought on enormous debt.

b. Christians lament that they 'can't afford' to tithe or give to missions.

c. The reason? They have over-extended themselves with things.

3. The people will be "boasters, proud" and "blasphemers."

a. 'I don't need God…I don't need anyone!'

b. They are self-made and arrogant.

4. The people are described as "disobedient to parents, unthankful."

a. Isn't amazing that Paul could see into what the world would become? NO

b. Remember, God inspired the Scripture.

c. The Lord revealed to him a future time when the family unit would be broken down.

d. He certainly could be writing about the conditions of our young people today.

e. Oh, how we need to pray for our children's workers and youth workers.

f. Children are so bombarded with the philosophy of the world that our church is on the frontline of this battle!

5. People are "unholy" or profane.

a. You cannot watch TV without hearing explicit profanity.

b. We aren't visiting Mayberry anymore.

c. Even cartoons are vile…the Simpsons, South Park, etc.

d. Beyond profane language, are the profane subject matters addressed as normal!

6. People are "unloving, unforgiving, slanderers."

a. Our court system is clogged with frivolous litigation.

b. Class action suits are being filed on everything from tobacco to McDonalds.

c. I heard a couple of weeks ago about a guy who was suing Atkins because he developed heart trouble.

d. Neighbors sue one another over where the leaves drop…

7. People shun "self-control."

a. They are "brutal, despisers of good."

b. Instead of uplifting what is pure and good, our culture uplifts what is filthy and wicked.

c. Look at the heroes placed before our children.

C. People Will Have No Conviction (v4-5).

1. People are "traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God."

2. You would think that people would flock to worship God?

3. They have "a form of godliness but deny its power."

a. There are many who profess to be religious but deny God's power.

b. They deny His creation, His Word, His Son and His coming.

c. Paul tells us that we are to "turn away" from them.

D. People Will Have No Conscience (v6-9).

1. Paul talks about these false religionists "who creep into households."

2. One common strategy of the cults is to speak first to the woman of the house.

3. Why do you think that is true?

a. Because it is in direct opposition of God's plan for the family.

b. God established the man to lead the family…especially in spiritual matters.

c. He specifically forbids women to be leaders within the local church, but note the increase and acceptance of women pastors today.

4. Such deceived people are "always learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

5. In v.8-9, Paul gives the illustration of the two Egyptian priests who "resisted Moses."

a. Though they could replicate some of Moses' miracles (snakes, water to blood)

b. They could "progress no further."

c. So it is with the deceivers of today, they may mimic and counterfeit the work of God, but they are limited in how far they can go.

What should be our response as we read and consider these verses? Realize that our time is short. What we do for Christ must be done today! We cannot sit back and think we have plenty of time. We are living in perilous times. People are bound in sin and we have the key! Jesus!

Paul challenges us to be not unwise…but understanding the times…take full advantage and do all we can to see others brought to a saving knowledge of Him. We can see the condition of our society, we can see the need of those around us, but what will we do?

Look at the rest of this chapter. Paul admonishes Timothy with regard to the last days, but also with regard to Timothy's responsibility to live godly in the midst of a darkened world. We must be the light! We must shine that others might see our good works and glorify God. What do others see when they look at us.

Thank you Sarah!

Sarah we pray for you still and we thank you for giving Christians around the world such hope. We adored loving you and cheering for you. You made us fight and pray and cry with joy. Thank you, we will never forget you! May you always have beautiful clothes and joy in your home. We are so glad you are surrounded by your loving family and good true friends. We will miss you, but you will always be in our hearts. It is good to know we will spend eternity with you. You were the closest person so full of God who understands His heart to get into the white house, maybe ever. It was all too good to be true, but the purpose is His and we still have yet to see all the good that came from so many on their knees praying because of you! We would have been complacent and sick in heart all this time. You gave us hope! Hope we see you in the states again one election. Kiss your babies for us! Thank you, we love you! Everyone who Loves God and is called to His purpose in Destin and Santa Rosa Beach FL and in the good ol' USA!

lift Judge Moore up in Prayer

________________________________________
Subject: LET US ALL PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY.....


Alabama
Judge

Some of you may be wondering what Judge Roy Moore has been doing since he was removed from the bench for refusing to remove the Ten Commandments from his courtroom wall. Please read the poem he wrote.

The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama . Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama ! The judge's poem sums it up quite well.


America the beautiful,
or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride;
I'm glad they'll never see.

Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;
your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly
poisoned by cocaine
choosing to indulge their lusts,
when God has said abstain

From sea to shining sea,
our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
and a need to always pray

We've kept God in our
temples, how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
and Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges;
who throw reason out the door,

Too soft to place a killer
in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb.

You think that God's not
angry, that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God,
from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
but stem this evil tide?

If we who are His children,
will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face
and mend our evil way:

Then God will hear from Heaven;
and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land
and those who live within.

But, America the Beautiful,
If you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
withdraw His hand from Thee.

~~Judge Roy Moore~~


Pass this on and let's lift Judge Moore up in Prayer..He has stood firm and needs our support.


IN GOD WE TRUST!

Yes, there were weapons of mass destruction! Secret U.S. mission hauls uranium from Iraq.

You can verify it all at:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25546334/
A national defense analyst says President Bush should be commended for keeping quiet about a discovery that could have blown his critics out of the water.
Retired Major General Jerry Curry is a decorated combat veteran who served as an Army aviator, paratrooper, and Ranger during a military career that began during the Korean conflict. He recently wrote on his blog about a very under reported story by the Associated Press. (See link below)
According to the report, a large stockpile of concentrated natural Uranium, known as "yellowcake," reached a Canadian port to complete a top secret U.S. Operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad, and a ship voyage crossing two oceans. The Uranium material had been housed at a former Iraqi nuclear complex 12 miles from Baghdad.
Curry says the president kept mum about the discovery in order to keep terrorists in the dark. "He made a very brave stand, a resolute stand..., in which he decided that he wasn't going to blab everything to the press," Curry commends. "...And in the meantime while he kept it quiet, he was buying time from the terrorists to get all that stuff out of the country. So that's what was done -- he just very quietly kept his mouth shut."
"The press beat him to death for the last several years," he continues, "and now it turns out that, yes, there were weapons of mass destruction...." Curry also maintains that Saddam Hussein had an active nuclear program and the material could have been made into a nuclear weapon.
President Bush's actions took courage, he notes, and all Americans should be thankful to have such a brave president who puts the welfare of the American people above personal considerations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On July 5, 2008, the Associated Press (AP)
released a story titled: Secret U.S. mission hauls uranium from Iraq.
The opening paragraph is as follows:

The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.

See anything wrong with this picture? We have been hearing from the far-left for more than five years how, Bush lied. Somehow, that slogan loses its credibility now that 550 metric tons of Saddam's yellowcake, used for nuclear weapon enrichment, has been discovered and shipped to Canada for its new use as nuclear energy.

It appears that American troops found the 550 metric tons of uranium in 2003 after invading Iraq. They had to sit on this information and the uranium itself, for fear of terrorists attempting to steal it. It was guarded and kept safe by our military in a 23,000-acre site with large sand beams surrounding the site.

This is vindication for the Bush administration, having been attacked mercilessly by the liberal media and the far-left pundits on the blogosphere. Now that it is proven that President Bush did not lie about Saddam's nuclear ambitions, one would think the
mainstream media would report the story. Once the AP released the story, the mainstream media should have picked it up and broadcast it worldwide.

This never happened, due in large part I believe, to the fact that the mainstream media would have to admit they were wrong about Bush's war motives all along. Thankfully, the AP got it right when it said,
The removal of 550 metric tons of yellowcake the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy.

Closing the book on Saddam's nuclear legacy. Did Saddam have a nuclear legacy after all? I thought Bush lied. As it turns out, the people who lied were Joe Wilson and his wife.

Valerie Plame engaged in a clear case of nepotism and convinced the CIA to send her husband on a fact finding mission in February 2002, seeking to determine if Saddam Hussein attempted to buy yellowcake from Niger. The CIA and British intelligence believed Saddam contacted Niger for that purpose but needed proof.

During his trip to Niger, Wilson actually interviewed the former prime minister of Niger, Ibrahim Assane Mayaki. Mayaki told Wilson that in June of 1999, an Iraqi delegation expressed interest in "expanding commercial relations" for the purposes of purchasing yellowcake.

Wilson chose to overlook Malachi’s remarks and reported to the CIA that there was no evidence of Hussein wanting to purchase yellowcake from Niger.

However, with British intelligence insisting the claim was true, President Bush used that same claim in his State of the Union address in January of 2003.

Outraged by Bush's insistence that the claim was true, Wilson wrote an op-ed in the New York Times in the summer of 2003 slamming Bush.

Wilson did this in spite of the fact that Mayaki said Saddam did try to buy the yellowcake from Niger. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence disagreed with Wilson and supported Mayaki's claim. This meant nothing to Wilson who
was opposed to the Iraq war and thus had ulterior motives in covering up the prime minister's statements.

It was a simple tactic really. If the far-left and their friends in the media could prove Bush lied about Hussein wanting to purchase
yellowcake from Niger, it would undermine President Bush's credibility and give them more cause for asking what other lies he may have told.

Yet, the real lie came from Wilson, who interpreted his own meaning from the prime minister's statements and concluded all by
himself that the claim of Saddam attempting to purchase yellowcake was "unequivocally wrong." Curiously, the CIA sat on this information and did not inform the CIA Director, who sided with Bush on the yellowcake claim. This was made public in a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report in July 2004.

Valerie Plame also engaged in her own lie campaign by spreading the notion that the Bush administration ousted her as a CIA agent. Never mind that it was Richard Armitage -- no friend of the Bush administration -- who leaked Plame's identity to the press. Never mind that Plame had not been in the field as a CIA agent in some six years.

The truth is, due to their opposition to the war, Joe Wilson, Valerie Plame, the mainstream media and their left-wing friends on the
blogosphere engaged in a propaganda campaign to undermine the Bush administration. Now that Saddam's uranium has been made public and is no longer a threat to the world, do you think these aforementioned parties will apologize and admit they were wrong? Don't count on it. The rest of the American people should hear the truth about Saddam's uranium. It is up to you and me to inform them every chance we get.

As far as the anti-war crowd is concerned, the next time they say that, "Bush lied," we should tell them to, "Have the yellowcake and eat it too."
