I have been through triple by-pass surgery.  I guess it must have been the sixth heart attack that gave it a way to the revelation that I was doing a dance at death's door. I am pleased to report that I am alive and doing well, well on my way to full recovery of my health. Never been weaker, so that was the time I used to pray for others. &lt;br /&gt;Our Wonderful Heavenly Daddy would sent His comforting Presence every time I asked. I learned to fall more fully in love with Christ in me, the hope of Glory.  My remembrance of the Word was "unless ye become as little children," enticed me to identify myself before Gas as "Daddy:.  I would see myself in my heart crawling up into His big Daddy arms and just hold me.  I was scared. Pain sucks, the devil wants me dead, but Jesus's Name and Blood and Power are greater. HE that is in me is truly greater than he that is in the world (old nature).&lt;br /&gt;I am still very weak, could use your prayers for speedy recover.  Its humbling to have to ask someone else to wipe your backside. I guess you can see what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;I learned my daughter is living alone with depresseion.  She broke her back a couple of years back. The state gives her subsidized housing, food stamps, and $60 per month to live on.  She needs a good computer and free internet service.  Please ask God to provide her with this small request.  She needs the fellowship desperately. Her mother and her have had a parting of company and her step dad won't even speak to her. She sure could use some prayer and maoney. Ask our Father to make a way for her, in Jesus' Name. &lt;br /&gt;Amen.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-3938215171900021300?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/3938215171900021300/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2010/02/resurrection.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/3938215171900021300'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/3938215171900021300'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2010/02/resurrection.html' title='Resurrection'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-5973088166873111413</id><published>2009-04-20T17:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-20T17:24:55.694-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Last Blog from the Prisoner</title><content type='html'>I am so humbled by the post from that prisoner, it brought tears to my eyes. I am reminded of the sacrifices of Anne Franke and Irena Sender, both of whom suffered for their faith. They were unshakeable unto death.  Our Heavenly Father takes no delight in anyone's suffering.  &lt;br /&gt;The New World Order is now raising its head undisguised. Our President just gave away, to the same incompetents who put the nation in this mess, $1.7 trillion. I can't even imagine that debt. The banks control the NWO, specifically the Bilderbergers. &lt;br /&gt;All I can say, is that God is still on the throne, and prayer changes things. Believe on the Lord.....&lt;br /&gt;I heard from my son John yesterday. It has been a couple years. He has started his own Masonry business in Utah. I am very proud of him!&lt;br /&gt;My car has died and we are stuck in the country with no wheels. We need a new car or this one fixed.  I am broke so I can't pay for it. I decided to do what Jesus said, "What things soever ye desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." Just, don't doubt. I'm not. God will supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus". I'll let you know how He resolves this issue.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-5973088166873111413?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/5973088166873111413/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/04/last-blog-from-prisoner.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/5973088166873111413'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/5973088166873111413'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/04/last-blog-from-prisoner.html' title='Last Blog from the Prisoner'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-2885645709784858699</id><published>2009-04-11T19:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-11T19:46:03.539-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Resurrection Day!</title><content type='html'>May this High Holyday bless you with a transforming revelation of the Love of God for you!  I just ran across a letter from a brother of ours in prison. Please, trouble yourself to read what he says....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prisoner 354-B9 &lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To My American cousins in Christ, &lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's frigidly cold here this morning. My cell is unheated and I cannot&lt;br /&gt;feel my legs. This is a blessing. Today I will be beaten and tortured before&lt;br /&gt;breakfast and I will not feel the pain as much. Numbness from the cold&lt;br /&gt;makes the tortures bearable. I will have to remember to scream on cue so&lt;br /&gt;as not to upset the guards. I wonder if they are as bored with my cries as&lt;br /&gt;I am with their beatings? In prison, everything becomes routine, even&lt;br /&gt;torture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;I prayed for you again. I have much time on my hands here and thankfully&lt;br /&gt;no blood. I once heard a rumor that the churches in America each had a&lt;br /&gt;complete Bible of their very own. Could such a thing be true? Once at a&lt;br /&gt;house church meeting, just before my last arrest - how many years has &lt;br /&gt;it been? - I actually held a page of Scripture in my own hands and was&lt;br /&gt;allowed to read it to the church. I myself was holding the Word of God. I knew&lt;br /&gt;then that I was favored of the Lord. What a great honor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;In my dream today I went to Heaven again and one of the Splendid Ones&lt;br /&gt;spoke with me about you. He showed me the great Russian bear - not at all dead&lt;br /&gt;as you have supposed - hibernating, rejuvenating, readying to attack you.&lt;br /&gt;Her sharp paws were unsheathed ready to slice and maul you into submission. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt; "Why do they disarm? " I asked.&lt;BR&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Splendid One replied, "They are at ease in Zion but soon will be at&lt;br /&gt;ease no more."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I do not understand," I replied a bit confused. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Many saints of the West have become wealthy and do not know that they&lt;br /&gt;are really wretched and poor and miserable and blind and naked. They &lt;br /&gt;usually equate the blessing of God with having money. They do not know of His&lt;br /&gt;true riches," said the glorious being. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then Jesus Himself entered the place where we were talking.  All bowed&lt;br /&gt;low and worshipped but I wept bitterly. Though He knew the answer, he asked&lt;br /&gt;me why I wept so. "Lord," I said, "Your sufferings only lasted a few days&lt;br /&gt;and mine have gone on for years. I have suffered much more than you. Why?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;With a great compassion, He seemed to look right through me (I felt him&lt;br /&gt;do this).  He said, "Son, I have allowed you to sip suffering in small&lt;br /&gt;swallows so that your faith would not fail. I swallowed the dregs of the poison&lt;br /&gt;of sin whole. It was a torture you could never understand and it would &lt;br /&gt;have undone you. You have drank of my cup. Be patient a while longer." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;I begged his forgiveness. His hand raised only to wipe my tears away and&lt;br /&gt;he held me close in understanding. I breathed in the perfume of His grace,&lt;br /&gt;which seemed to fill me with new Life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;I awoke! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;My dear cousins, you are not prepared for the sufferings to come. Lose&lt;br /&gt;this world now and let its claims on you fall away. If you gain Christ you&lt;br /&gt;will lose nothing important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Not long ago I saw my reflection for the first time in years from a&lt;br /&gt;medicine chest in the infirmary. My teeth have rotted and I look&lt;br /&gt;decayed.  My once handsome face is etched with pain. I look like a corpse&lt;br /&gt;straining to draw breath. The doctor gave me hot water to drink for my illness -&lt;br /&gt;we have no medicines here. It helped a little.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;I felt so sad for myself and was glad my mother was dead. My condition&lt;br /&gt;would have killed her.   As I headed back to my cell, the Holy Spirit&lt;br /&gt;said,  "Don't despair. I will show you as you look to me." I suddenly saw my&lt;br /&gt;image reflected in the ice. The bumps of the icicles  took the lines away and &lt;br /&gt;I looked young and alive again. The best part was the  snow. It gave the &lt;br /&gt;impression that I was dressed in a white robe of righteousness like the saints&lt;br /&gt;in heaven wear. It was delightful!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My smiles shock the guards. I can only explain that He is with me.&lt;P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dear American cousins, we are praying for you so that when night crashes&lt;br /&gt;on your land, and it soon will, your faith will not fail. Put the cross back&lt;br /&gt;in your Gospel preaching and prepare your people to carry it or they will&lt;br /&gt;fall away. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is very cold here. I am praying for a blanket or some rags to keep&lt;br /&gt;warm with. He is with me. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signed, &lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A nameless prisoner&lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His ambassador in chains &lt;BR&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bryan Hupperts &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(c) 1997&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-2885645709784858699?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/2885645709784858699/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/04/happy-resurrection-day.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/2885645709784858699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/2885645709784858699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/04/happy-resurrection-day.html' title='&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Happy Resurrection Day!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-5956014519346656604</id><published>2009-03-22T18:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-22T18:18:25.864-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Let God Arise</title><content type='html'>What is the Latest in the move of the Spirit? I have seen the Spirit on the move in the last two church meetings I attended. This morning the church (New Beginnings) changed its name to Church of the Resurrection. Thats exactly what we need, a personal resurrection.  I am tired of hearing about how God moved in this person or that person's life. I want a personal encounter that makes Christ and the Father much closer and more real than I now know.  I need an actual transformation, and I can't do it myself.  Without Him, I can do nothing. If people do not discern the resurrected and living Christ in me, what good did my claiming Christ do? The evidence of the reality of the indwelling Christ is nothing less than this, a transformed life.&lt;br /&gt;In church this morning, Christ showed up. It was not business as usual. The Spirit of God was given relatively free reign to do as He pleased. I know I found myself down on the floor, nose to the carpet, acknowledgeing His Lordship.&lt;br /&gt;The Lord spoke to me prophetically through the Pastor. He instructed me to "Tarry ye in Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high." I guess He means the "new Jerusalem", a place in the spiritual realm. &lt;br /&gt;I need a fresh shot of love and patience.  Actually I need Jesus and the Holy Ghost to move in and take over. I keep screwing it up, but then, I can't fix it either. Only He can. I have decided to continue to cast all my cares upon Him, and to trust in His love and mercy.  After all, I didn't create me, and I didn't give myself faith to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. &lt;br /&gt;I can conclude the whole of this matter in this way,&lt;br /&gt;"In all your ways, acknowledge God, and He will direct your paths."&lt;br /&gt;Let the revival fires of the Feast of Tabernacles burst forth in the blazing glory of the Holy Spirit. Let God arise, and His enemies be scattered".  He that began a good work in you will continue it until the day of Christ Jesus".  If God be for you, who can stand against you?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-5956014519346656604?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/5956014519346656604/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/03/let-god-arise.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/5956014519346656604'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/5956014519346656604'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/03/let-god-arise.html' title='Let God Arise'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-2727808450552383116</id><published>2009-03-21T14:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-21T14:59:25.394-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Another Quickie</title><content type='html'>In my last post I told you that thecar was acting up.

I helped my wife celebrate her 29th birthday again.  I think she may have had more than one. It was a pleasant day for us.  Jesse chopped a bunch of firewood and brought it in, unasked. The car started acting up and is missing.  I have a doctors appt today, so I will try to drive it anyway. It has over 200,000 miles on it.  &lt;br /&gt;In December we lost my VA pension because I got on Social Security.&lt;br /&gt;Once the bills are paid out of SS check, we have nothing left over. Have had to go to food back a couple times. Jesse has started buying food to help out as well.  I feel dismayed at eating the food he has purchased. &lt;br /&gt;I have been doing some book editing to provide any extra cash, and it is not much. &lt;br /&gt;We are right on the edge of homelessness and hunger. My faith in God is certainly being reinforced. As Abraham said, "The God whom I serve has made provision for me up to this very day!" (paraphrased).&lt;br /&gt;I have witnessed Him coming through every time.  He is good to us!&lt;br /&gt;"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-5109877059373304549?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/5109877059373304549/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/03/birthdays-and-st-patricks-day.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/5109877059373304549'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/5109877059373304549'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/03/birthdays-and-st-patricks-day.html' title='Birthdays and St Patrick&apos;s  Day'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-4456172792815484870</id><published>2009-03-08T11:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-08T11:30:37.757-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Don't You Luv the Quick Ones?</title><content type='html'>Three days ago I reported that our washing machine bit the dust.

My wife and I are living on SS and it is a struggle to keep head above water. We got very low on food, and I prayed. Our electric bill was $311. Thats nuts.  We are now turning the temperature on the thermostat to 68.  I feel chilled at 78, so I wear a jacket around the house. Went to visit mother in law yesterday.  She loaded us down with stuff that someone had brought to her for us! Isn't God good?  We have more than enought to eat for a couple of weeks. Pity the poor souls who have no one to help them. I suspect many elderly and disabled are in a bad way. Many folks must choose between medicine and food. &lt;br /&gt;There is a plus side to this. The challenges of life will cause many to reconnect with their spiritual side and seek hard after the Lord.  The Word says, "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness and all these things shall be added". "All these things" is referring to what you will eat or wear, etc. &lt;br /&gt;We are told to "let the redeemed of the Lord "say so".  Its up to us to tell God that we are His.  Blessing and cursing are also in the power of the tongue. Its just as easy to speak blessings and gratitude to the Lord as it is to whine about the circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;I haven't forgotten what happened to the "whiners" who complained in the wilderness.  They did not enter into the blessings of God. They died as a result of their words. &lt;br /&gt;I declare to you that "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."  You only need to believe it. God knows your heart and listens for the sound of His kid's voice. Our heavenly Father knows what you have need of. Put your trust in Him and His Word.  He cannot lie!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bless the Lord&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-9202831056704654468?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/9202831056704654468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/03/goodness-of-god.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/9202831056704654468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/9202831056704654468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/03/goodness-of-god.html' title='The Goodness of God'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-3848570400648431230</id><published>2009-03-04T13:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-04T13:45:58.378-08:00</updated><title type='text'>And it Died</title><content type='html'>Went to fix a leak on washing machine, and it died.

The overcast skies, being broke, no income except what God supplies through SS. Its about 5pm on Sunday. I haven't been attending church lately since I do not want to appear before the LORD empty handed. The preacher is a workman worthy of his hire. I kind of feel like I am robbing God if I don't put in the offering.  I need a fresh change of mind about work and provision. Food banks and food stamps do not bring God any glory and it looks like a lack of faith in operation.  So far, we haven't missed any meals.  God has carried us through every day, up through today. We still have a roof over our hand and some food to put on the table.  Praise God. Paul tells us "if there be any good thing, think on these". paraphrased.  I believe that God will perform every thing He has promised, and that He will never leave us nor forsake us.  If our hope is placed in anything else, its in the wrong place.

He is a very dynamic speaker and has succeeded in lifting the hopes of needy Americans. Our unemployment rate is the highest its been in over 20 years. What we should be doing is seeking hard after the heart of God.  The Word (Bible) says, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and these things (food, shelter, clothing) will be added. God's kingdom is hidden within each of us. It comes without outward observation and is trustworthy.&lt;br /&gt;     Recieved one response to Who is Maitreya article. It was from a pro Maitreya person. I am grateful for the answer. It seems I may have been wrong about them charging for healing. All I can say for certain is that we live in an age of fraud and deception. There are ID thefts, false labeling, hidden costs, etc. I put faith in no man, not even our President. My faith is in Jesus Christ alone. &lt;br /&gt;     As this generation continues to age, signs of decay and death are everywhere. There is the threat of nuclear annihilation. The world has more than enough nukes to take us all out permanent. Add to this the December 21, 2012 scenario and what have you got? Simple, its the "End of the Age". The end of something can also be the beginning of something new. Its a New Age coming into existence. I personally want to see the new age coming into the full manifestation of "Christ" on earth.  There is a price to be paid for believing in Jesus.  It will cost you everything, but your soul. God wants your heart. &lt;br /&gt;     Winter seems endless to me this year.  Yesterday, it was in the 80s in Texas and teens up north. The NE is getting hammered with another 20" of snowfall.  Brrrrrrrrr. Heating bills are taking a huge chunk of us seniors' money. It cost me nearly $300 to heat my home with electricity. That sucks.  Ya have to sacrifice somewhere so for us, no more eating out, choosing the cheaper cuts of meat, and eating lots of peanut butter sandwiches. comments?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-8867673629649141627?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/8867673629649141627/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/02/endless-winter.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/8867673629649141627'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/8867673629649141627'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/02/endless-winter.html' title='Endless Winter'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-3959956905219916564</id><published>2009-02-17T09:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-17T09:35:39.392-08:00</updated><title type='text'>So Who Is Maitreya?</title><content type='html'>So Who Is Matreiya?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1983, I was still an active member of the Catholic Church. I had asked Christ to come into my heart a few years earlier and was active in church prayer meetings.  There were only two or three of us there.  That day, a full page ad came out announcing to the world, the arrival of Lord Maitreya.  I remember that we prayed about this guy, and who he might be.  To me, he symbolized the antichrist, and his prophet is Benjamin Crème from England.  &lt;br /&gt;Lord Maitreya is very unusual in his claims. He maintains that he has been around 2500 years or so. It that were true, I would say he has a pretty good grasp on eternal life. He writes,&lt;br /&gt;“My mane(sic)is Lord of Matreya, but many of you know my(sic) as Christ. I am a Personification of Energies of Christ on your planet, that energies which is a part of you Substance, which is responsible for emanations of the Creator's Love and, in its turn, sharing His Love to all which surrounds you. You have also been created from the very Essence of Christ, which represents Love to the First Origin. You are the expression of His Love and His Will to spread Himself in all Space and Time, which He created.” “http://www.ayfaar.org/oris_en/christ1.htm”&lt;br /&gt; I have a problem believing he that is who he claims to be. Jesus only spoke what He heard the Father say.  He shared, &lt;br /&gt;“freely you have received, freely give!” (Matthew 10:8)&lt;br /&gt; Maitreya also speaks what he hears his father say. I want to quote from his website, &lt;br /&gt;“Per Maitreya’s instructions, individual healing requests are now charged at 30 US Dollars per request to provide an adequate exchange of energy (“http://www.maitreya-edu.org/forms/healing.php”).”&lt;br /&gt;The mere fact that he charges for his “gift” of healing is proof enough to me that he is a charlatan. My Jesus heals me every time I pray. He has never sent me a bill yet. The practice of charging for healing prayer to ensure enough “energy” is exchanged is simply preying on the ignorant. He is not the Jesus of the Bible.  He is, simply, another false Christ.  He is dangerous to because he comes replete with his own, intelligent, thoughtful, kind appearing prophet. He appears to be a man who walks in peace and proselytizes Maitreya. Jesus is dethroned as Christ the King, and Maitreya is enthroned.  Jesus is merely an avatar, an Ascended Master. Maitreya is presented as the Master of Masters. Miracles are being manifested and said to be from Maitreya. &lt;br /&gt; I am beginning to believe that this Lord Maitreya is the foretold antichrist who is to manifest many lying wonders.  This will probably be the one held up to the world as the promised Messiah. He will deceive the world, demonstrate many undeniable supernatural things, and claim divinity and require worship. Those who will not bow down and worship him “buy-the-farm” so to speak. They get their heads chopped off and thus the world has successfully eliminated the useless eaters.&lt;br /&gt; I have am feeling that Maitreya will be endorsed by the world’s religions as the real thing.  The world’s religions are getting a boost from the United Nations who has its religious arms held out. There is a move to take away “parental rights”. In its place is a subtle move to replace parental rights with “parental privilege”. This privilege is the domain of the government as dictated by the United Nations. The UN is totally controlled by the world’s banking elite.  It is true that he who controls the finances of the world, controls the world.&lt;br /&gt; Our God has not left this world out of His sight. I believe that God is much more that simple energy or light or frequency or anything else that is “made”.  He is above all, below all, in all, and knows all.  Nothing is happening that He did not ordain or know about.  God is God, and nothing can or will thwart His Sovereign will.  He can control even the thoughts of man.  He is still in charge, no matter what we might think or do.&lt;br /&gt; The world has brought itself to the edge of reason and the edge of extinction or survival.  The rich think they can buy their way out of harm’s way forever.  Some things affect us all.  We must all breathe to live. Pollution, a by-product of poor manufacturing and poor disposal, is affecting the entire planet.  It is in the earth, air, and water. &lt;br /&gt; God has the solution to every problem.  Man is the culprit in limiting God’s creations for solving these problems.  For instance, I have seen, personally, an energy producing machine that requires NO outside energy to generate electricity. It could put out 6KW, enough to power a home. This is only one of at least five others I have encountered.  It’s the greed of those controlling the production who are hindering the energy machines being released.&lt;br /&gt; I have been thanking God for their release, and for Him to remove the wicked from their places in authority. I believe I will be among those who see this happen.  It will be a rough time, going through the transition, but it will happen. The Lion shall truly lie down with the lamb and peace shall prevail.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-3959956905219916564?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/3959956905219916564/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/02/so-who-is-maitreya.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/3959956905219916564'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/3959956905219916564'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/02/so-who-is-maitreya.html' title='&lt;strong&gt;So Who Is Maitreya?&lt;/strong&gt;'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-5367708264896584670</id><published>2009-02-14T07:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-14T08:00:45.803-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Valentine's Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4j39-pByBHI/SZbqbulDWNI/AAAAAAAAAEI/7AjV3l-8gZU/s1600-h/641669_russell%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4j39-pByBHI/SZbqbulDWNI/AAAAAAAAAEI/7AjV3l-8gZU/s320/641669_russell%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302683373356144850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4j39-pByBHI/SZbp715GaMI/AAAAAAAAAEA/yYPvu_18zqE/s1600-h/anim0390.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 100px; height: 85px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4j39-pByBHI/SZbp715GaMI/AAAAAAAAAEA/yYPvu_18zqE/s320/anim0390.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302682825563465922" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yup, its February 14th, 2009.  All the married ones and wannabees are flying around getting flowers, chocolate and cards, and trying to find a place to take their honeys out to dinner.  This is in a vague attempt to convince the gal that you are convinced that she is the "cat's meow".  Of course, all of us guys know that.  Its a big game that must be played if the male hopes to score. &lt;br /&gt;     What if he is too old or too fat or whatever and his plumbing don't work too good no mo? Its embarrassing to even try.  Still, there are ways......   All of this is really to say, I love you. &lt;br /&gt;What if you are so broke that bottom looks like up?  What if y'all aint got no extra $50 to go to dinner.  Make a mac n cheese at home and put a plastic flower on the table.  Its bettern nuttin. Give her a Reese's Kiss.  Its chocolate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;take care dog.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-5367708264896584670?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/5367708264896584670/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/02/happy-valentines-day.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/5367708264896584670'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/5367708264896584670'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/02/happy-valentines-day.html' title='Happy Valentine&apos;s Day'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4j39-pByBHI/SZbqbulDWNI/AAAAAAAAAEI/7AjV3l-8gZU/s72-c/641669_russell%5B1%5D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-8271066746805140769</id><published>2009-02-05T20:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-05T20:37:29.738-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Momma Mary Strand'/><title type='text'>Video Mail</title><content type='html'>Been working with Joel over the internet via video and voice over Microsoft's Windows Live. Its been a real trip because it is as close as you can get to having someone else in your room without them being there. Got about 1/4 th way through editing Angels. Still have lots of other stuff to get out. I told Joel that it would be just sharing the Gospel to anyone who reads it. In my editing I have had plenty of belly laughs at some of the things Joel writes. It is fun. Doreen is up taking care of her Mother up in Kirkland. Her companion and best friend since her husband's death, Reggie went to his rest. Her granddaughter Emily, and her friend, took him out and they buried the dog in the back yard near his mate Roxana who died two years ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-89ede7fd42a1f571" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fv3.nonxt5.googlevideo.com%2Fvideoplayback%3Fid%3D89ede7fd42a1f571%26itag%3D5%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26app%3Dblogger%26et%3Dplay%26el%3DEMBEDDED%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1271271869%26sparams%3Did%252Citag%252Cip%252Cipbits%252Cexpire%26signature%3D378EAD6458978B11E69D5CF2E3A53C0C41464721.3E9FEC96AC444BBDFB57CAD4D6D7B89D601B589E%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D89ede7fd42a1f571%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3D6Dcwh_bCim3adcJ_QiN4cl82VME&amp;amp;messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den&amp;amp;nogvlm=1"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fv3.nonxt5.googlevideo.com%2Fvideoplayback%3Fid%3D89ede7fd42a1f571%26itag%3D5%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26app%3Dblogger%26et%3Dplay%26el%3DEMBEDDED%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1271271869%26sparams%3Did%252Citag%252Cip%252Cipbits%252Cexpire%26signature%3D378EAD6458978B11E69D5CF2E3A53C0C41464721.3E9FEC96AC444BBDFB57CAD4D6D7B89D601B589E%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D89ede7fd42a1f571%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3D6Dcwh_bCim3adcJ_QiN4cl82VME&amp;amp;messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den&amp;amp;nogvlm=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;If things went the way I hoped for, you should bee able to see a silent video of her.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-8271066746805140769?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/8271066746805140769/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/02/video-mail.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/8271066746805140769'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/8271066746805140769'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/02/video-mail.html' title='Video Mail'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-8437946485921790453</id><published>2009-01-30T14:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-01T11:26:32.559-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fat sex'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blogging videos'/><title type='text'>Da Blog Video Post Number Two</title><content type='html'>Greetings.

I think folks would prefer it that way.  My brother Joel just blessed me with a video camera.  He had just purchased the camera and his computer fried.  He bought a new computer which has a video camera built in.  &lt;br /&gt;Well, I installed the thing, a Microsoft 3000?.  I saw myself on installation, but not sure how to make a video with it.  Will keep you advised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just added the National Debt to the blog. The Good news is that the debt is NOT $458,000 per person.  Its really about $35000. for every man, woman, and child in US. What goes up must come down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1/27/09&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-7201898479076154966?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/7201898479076154966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/01/on-video.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/7201898479076154966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/7201898479076154966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/01/on-video.html' title='&lt;strong&gt;On Video and the National Debt&lt;/strong&gt;'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-4954637060053863159</id><published>2009-01-26T10:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-26T10:40:29.248-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Habbakuk'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hearing God'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vision'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='journaling'/><title type='text'>On Hearing God</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4j39-pByBHI/SX4AZq-2enI/AAAAAAAAAC8/wMpMMPcsSo4/s1600-h/Mom_and_Dad_Russell%5B1%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4j39-pByBHI/SX4AZq-2enI/AAAAAAAAAC8/wMpMMPcsSo4/s320/Mom_and_Dad_Russell%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295670652868917874" /&gt;Hux and Elsie Russell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.zazzle.com/utl/getpanel?tl=My+Zazzle+Panel&amp;at=238839918169268730&amp;cn=238839918169268730&amp;st=date_created" FlashVars="feedId=0&amp;path=http://www.zazzle.com/assets/swf/zp/skins" width="450" height="300" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Hearing the Word&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recently heard a pastor discuss hearing the voice of God.  The foundation for his position was the Book of Habbakuk. Basically, it was a four step process.&lt;br /&gt;1. Quiet yourself (cut out all distractions)&lt;br /&gt;2. Fix your inner eye on Jesus. Keep your attention here, watching inside to see what He will show you, and listen to hear what He will say to you.&lt;br /&gt;3. Journal.  Write what you saw and heard and just let all ideas that come flow.                Dont' edit, just listen and write.  &lt;br /&gt;4. Spontanaity... just writing what you see and hear in your head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; A few years back, the Lord showed me a solution to the energy crisis was the magnet.  Used correctly, a simple magnet can be used to generate electrical current.  Its renewable, limited to the number of magnets you can assemble in a system.  It can be used to fly airplanes, run trains, trucks, cars, tanks, jeeps, boats and ships.  Power can be made available anywhere without the need for fossil fuel.  Who would want to stop this from happening?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I can only speculate here, but I think that the people that own the energy distribution channels, including producers, would not like to see this happen.  It means the end of them lining their pockets at everyone's expense.  They like it this way and are willing to kill to keep it that way.  Government doesn't want it because it means the elimination of gas tax dollars which are used to finance roads, bridges, and schools. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I have seen EM machines run cars.  I have seen generators put out 30kw using magnetic energy, precisely pulsed, to cause power to be released, substantially more then is required to power the device. The government and vested interest power groups are also aware of these machines.  Every one I have seen so far has been snapped up by the big companies like GE or GM and disappear, never to be seen or heard about again.  There appears to be collusion between the automobile makers (internal combustion engines which require fossil fuel), the petroleum industry, and the government.  The technology is continually undermined at every level.  Scientists say it can't be done.  Over Unity devices (perpetual motion) has been villified as pipe dream, make believe stuff that is foolish to believe in.  I believe the villifiers are all lying.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The technological advances made by mankind over the past 100 years have made it more than just a dream.  With electronic timing devices, powerful magnets, and human ingenuity, the solution was created.  The first ones were built in the 1920s.  People like Nicolai Tesla and TT Brown showed it can be done.  They even made ships disappear in WWII and have been toying with time travel, space travel, remote viewing, and brain washing.  This is one crazy world we live in, and you and I were born for such a time as this.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Mankind has reached the pinnacle of his growth.  As a species, we men have developed the ability to wipe out all mankind with the simple push of a button.  There are many in power who have no qualms about pushing that button to defeat their enemies, because they have a hole in the ground they can crawl into and be safe until the war is over.  They would like to see the population of the world reduced by 90%, since they see most of us as "useless eaters", and detrimental to a "sustainable" environment.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; But God didn't make no junk!  Every human alive is so by the power of God.  Each person is born with a destiny to fulfill, and is therefore vulable.  Every human is created in the image and likeness of God.  Jesus says "as you do unto the least of My Brethren, so you do unto Me."  That was also the reason he gave us the Golden Rule to live by, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".  That is the only way we can get by.  We have rule of law that can only work if the law is used justly.  If judges or politicians are taking bribes, they are perverting justice and bring misery on us all, until its turned back to truth.  Somehow, God is going to take the wicked out and permit the righteous to remain.  I believe it, and I think its going to happen soon.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The prospect of some kind of monumental transformation is given us by the Scriptures, and other prophetic voices.  The Mayan calendar's last recorded date ends on December 21, 2012.  The New World Order is ready to take over the world, but who is really in charge?  God still sits in the heavenlies on His throne and He, the Creator, has His own timetable, which cannot be over ridden.  Jesus is coming for a bride without spot or wrinkle.  May the Atonement of Christ cleanse us all and make us acceptable in His sight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I really comes down to this, "do you believe?"  If not, you are right.  If you do believe, you are right.  Sound like jibberish?  The truth is, all things are done according to your faith.  Its a question of what you believe.  Many hold lies as the foundation of their truth.  Bad deal there.  I suggest asking God to reveal the Truth to you in your heart.  You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and God has not abandoned you.  You can hear His voice.  Be still and know Him.  Call upon Him while He may be found.  Believe He is a Father and loves His children.  He says, "My sheep hear My voice, and another they will not follow".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-4954637060053863159?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/4954637060053863159/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/01/on-hearing-god.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/4954637060053863159'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/4954637060053863159'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2009/01/on-hearing-god.html' title='On Hearing God'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4j39-pByBHI/SX4AZq-2enI/AAAAAAAAAC8/wMpMMPcsSo4/s72-c/Mom_and_Dad_Russell%5B1%5D.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-8335352160825986430</id><published>2009-01-17T10:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-26T10:35:30.822-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Valentines Day'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ties'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mugs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hearts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hats'/><title type='text'>The End of the Beginning</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4j39-pByBHI/SXIp3-IVg7I/AAAAAAAAACA/_v3bs3y07sQ/s1600-h/anim0390.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 100px; height: 85px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4j39-pByBHI/SXIp3-IVg7I/AAAAAAAAACA/_v3bs3y07sQ/s320/anim0390.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292338553661260722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The heart reminds me that Valentines' Day is coming up.

My wife  correctly pointed out certain deficits in my character, once again proving to me, another inadequancy.  I am selfish, and I am supposed to be dead.  How is this happening?  I think, because I have not spent enough time in prayer and the Word.  Ignoring both is very dangerous to one's spiritual life.  I wrote her an email saying I was sorry.  At least she has that in writing.  I failed to drive some place when I could have, and should have.  It greatly upset her, making me very sad.  I had to repent and try again.  I also told God I was sorry for representing Him so poorly.  Here us believers are supposed to living examples of the Resurrected Christ.  At least I thought we were.  I fall so short of the mark, I am praying for transformation by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We are guaranteed no tomorrows, and yesterday is already past. Seems like a good idea to live life to the fullest TODAY! I shall give account for every word that proceeds out of my mouth, and pray that God gets amnesia about my sins when judgement time rolls around. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;He does say that "as far as East is from West, thats how far I have removed sin from you. Oh, and the memory of it is cast into the sea of forgetfulness. Since God is on our side, and no weapon formed against us shall prosper, what should we be about? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Exposing evil by shining the light of truth upon it, seems to be the way to go. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Want some interesting reading, type in "Black Pope" and see what comes up. I really got my eyeballs opened. Have you every heard of "The Jesuit General"? He is the single most powerful man in the world, but no one knows much about him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I titled this, New Year's Resolutions, because I found them to be, for me, meaningless. I quit making them ages ago, about the time I turned 21. I believe that 2009 will be a dismal year for the world. The financial fiasco's observed over this past year appear to be a prelude to something on the horizon. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I expect to see an increase in anointing on those in ministry. I think greater persecution of the church is inevitable. I am not talking about organized religion here. The main stream denominations are not in any danger, for they pose no threat to the NWO. The threat comes from those anointed by God, who are standing in their appointed ranks, doing the praying, interceding, and fasting for the Body, etc. The dangerous ones are those which call a "spade, a spade", who speak the Truth in love, filled with the Spirit of God. Theses are the untouchable ones. Their lives appear mundate on the outside. Inside they are filled with Light, joy, and peace. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;These prayer warriors are hidden from the world, walking with God, and doing His Perfect Will on planet earth. The angels of heaven ascend and descend on the strength of their prayers, and nothing is impossible to them. Lets walk down this less trodden path. Remember, we wage warfare not against flesh and blood, but prinicpalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness in high places. What we bound, is bound, and what we loose is loosed. Truly the power of life and death is in your/mine tongue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Be blessed!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-618756582977634515?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/618756582977634515/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2008/12/new-years-resolutons.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/618756582977634515'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/618756582977634515'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2008/12/new-years-resolutons.html' title='New Year&apos;s Resolutons'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4j39-pByBHI/SVkNTb6WgnI/AAAAAAAAAA4/h8geJRsd73k/s72-c/patpic.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-2219898064441209910</id><published>2008-12-27T07:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-27T08:14:58.859-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Winds of change'/><title type='text'>The End Is Upon Us!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:100%;" &gt;Hello 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"&gt;2008 has been a year of change.  The nation has a new President coming aboard with the theme &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Change we can believe in".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;   &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Have you placed your faith in Obama?  I have just enough faith to believe I need to pray for him.  The odds are pretty good it will be more of the rich getting richer and the rest of us are the disposable poor or "useless eaters".  Sure sounds like cynicism.  My faith is in Jesus Christ.  Where's yours?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend Holly Lang went to her reward.  She was the faithful wife of 48 years, married to Rev. Richard Lang.  She is missed.  I also lost my Nephew, David Russell, from Springfield, Ohio.  Dave was a navy man for many years.  He was married to Charlene Russell. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also lost my Veteran's Pension.  Guess figured getting Social Security and a VA Pension was just too much money for them to part company with.  &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recently read a book which stated that Nuclear War has already had dates set for launch, 4 different times since 1975.  They tells me the "End draweth Neigh".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suspect America with soon be attacked by outside forces, with collusion from inside the country.  We, as a nation, have got a lot of Muslims, Commies, and others who would love to take us out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;In spite of all these obstacles to maintaining freedom, God is in Charge.  He has his own timetable, and we are in it.  I believe the Lord has been watching out for us, otherwise we would have been attacked already. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Stock Market has crashed and given roller coaster rides to those wealthy enough to even afford stocks  and other securities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We saw oil prices go through the ceiling, only to crash back down again.  One giant oil producer posted earnings in excess of $8 Billion dollars.  Can you believe that?  Well, my faith says that the "wealthof the wicked is stored up for the righteous.".   2009 is sure to bring some big surprises for us all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-2219898064441209910?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/2219898064441209910/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2008/12/end-is-upon-us.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/2219898064441209910'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/2219898064441209910'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2008/12/end-is-upon-us.html' title='The End Is Upon Us!'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013160286965610216.post-1079148741233819732</id><published>2008-09-19T10:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-01-26T11:01:27.334-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog'/><title type='text'>Preparing for the Feast</title><content type='html'>The LORD is currently in the process of preparing us for the "Feast of Tabernacles." This is the third feast of Israel that God ordained for them to keep. In this feast, Israel is commanded to present themselves to the LORD and to celebrate it 7 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cf.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Lev&amp;amp;c=23&amp;amp;v=34&amp;amp;t=KJV#34"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lev 23:34&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month [shall be] the feast of tabernacles [for] seven days unto the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://cf.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Deu&amp;amp;c=16&amp;amp;v=13&amp;amp;t=KJV#13"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Deu 16:13&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://cf.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Deu&amp;amp;c=16&amp;amp;v=16&amp;amp;t=KJV#16"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Deu 16:16&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:&lt;/em&gt; "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Feast of Tabernacles is not merely a "party" but is the fullness of the Presence of God in His people. This is the season for the harvest. The anointing for the miraculous and wholesale harvesting is at hand. Seek for it. ASK (Ask, Seek, Knock), and it will be given. The LORD delights in you and is thrilled at your surrender to His gentle, loving Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Church of Jesus Christ is only now coming of age. The Father proudly watches His little flock grow up into the maturity of the Son. The LORD is not blind, deaf, nor stupid. He knows His own by name and by heart. (&lt;em&gt;Nahum 1:7)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He searches our hearts and knows all contained therein. He is coming for a bride without spot or wrinkle. Most of the bride needs some spot remover and a fresh heat from His spiritual iron, to remove our unsightly wrinkles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Spirit of God is currently being poured out on all flesh on planet earth as the "early and the latter rains together", as foretold in the Book of Joel. The season has already changed and the new shoots are springing forth to exalt the LORD in all His Glory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is totally possible to miss God in this hour, unless you are looking for Him, and actively seeking Him, you will miss your hour of visitation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are great and radical changes coming to us all. None of us are exempt, and none shall escape the scrutiny of our God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actively seek the LORD. TALK to Him. Repent of any sin of you need to. The big thing is what you let come out of your mouth. Blessing and cursing are in the power of YOUR tongue. Use is sparingly, and wisely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agree with what the Word (Bible) says about your circumstances, and ask Him to teach you the meaning of the Word you do read. Only He can enlighten you, and heal you, and save you. Bless His Holy Name, the only Name given on earth whereby we might be saved....the Wonderful Name of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Living God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God is in Jesus, and Jesus is in you, if you have ever invited Him in. He is always standing at the door and knocking. Won't you let Him come out of your life into this world, and save those around you? Only you can save yourself through Christ. Open your mouth...&lt;br /&gt;"Let the redeemed of the LORD say so!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours in Christ by faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patrick Russell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check this out!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"http://virtualprofitacademy.com/members/evergreenpat"&lt;br /&gt; "http://newweb20.com/id/8078049"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://last.linker.googlepages.com/miostileNONUSARE.xml&amp;amp;synd=open&amp;amp;w=320&amp;amp;h=200&amp;amp;title=Statcounter+javascript+counter.+Open+a+statcounter+counter+and+use+this+gadget&amp;amp;border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&amp;amp;output=js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2013160286965610216-1079148741233819732?l=patrickrussell3.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/feeds/1079148741233819732/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2008/09/preparing-for-feast.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/1079148741233819732'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2013160286965610216/posts/default/1079148741233819732'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://patrickrussell3.blogspot.com/2008/09/preparing-for-feast.html' title='Preparing for the Feast'/><author><name>Patrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12099724513186831881</uri><email>patrickrussell3@comcast.net</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10449577078231583455'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
