Q&A from Perry Stone book the Meal that Heals

"Question #4 Should a person use fermented wine or simple grape juice when receiving the Communion? Answer: When Jesus held up the cup and introduced the New Covenant he called the cup the "fruit of the vine" (Matthew 26:29; Mark 14:25; Luke 22:18). According to historical sources, when wine was used at the Passover, a cup was mixed with three parts water and one part wine. This ensured believers that no alcohol would be active. Jesus Christ was sinless. In the Bible, normal bread contained leaven. Wine which sits for a long time becomes fermented. In Scripture, leaven represents sin. The bread at Passover and at Communion had no leaven, because Christ was without sin. Fermentation in wine occurs when the juice begins to break down and, with the help of bacteria, sugar turns into alcohol. Fermented wine has gone through this decaying process. Because the fruit of the vine is a picture of the blood of Christ, and Christ's blood was pure and untainted by the sin nature of Adam, I believe it is preferable to use pure grape juice."

Narcissist by Ali Sina

Barack the NarcissistJim BramlettNov 5, 2008 Dear friends: This is forwarded not to be critical but to present a clinical description of the personality of the man who may soon become the leader of the free world and most powerful man in the world. It is important for people to know this information. It is chilling. It also explains Obama's almost hypnotic appeal to the masses, in spite of virtually no accomplishments in life, and his acts of grandiosity, such as the large stadium venue and Greek columns at his acceptance speech -- all acts of a pathological narcissist. It all makes sense. Jim_____________________________________ Ali Sina: Barack the Narcissist Posted by Israel Insider on November 3, 2008 at 11:52am in US Elections 2008 I must confess I was not impressed by Sen. Barack Obama from the first time I saw him. At first I was excited to see a black candidate. He looked youthful, spoke well, appeared to be confident a wholesome presidential package. I was put off soon, not just because of his shallowness but also because there was an air of haughtiness in his demeanor that was unsettling. His posture and his body language were louder than his empty words. Obama's speeches are unlike any political speech we have heard in American history. Never a politician in this land had such a quasi 'religious' impact on so many people. The fact that Obama is a total incognito with zero accomplishment, makes this inexplicable infatuation alarming. Obama is not an ordinary man. He is not a genius. In fact he is quite ignorant on most important subjects. Barack Obama is a narcissist. Dr. Sam Vaknin, the author of the 'Malignant Self Love,' also believes, "Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist." Vaknin is a world authority on narcissism. He understands narcissism and describes the inner mind of a narcissist like no other person. When he talks about narcissism everyone listens. Vaknin says that Obama's language, posture and demeanor, and the testimonies of his closest, dearest and nearest suggest that the Senator is either a narcissist or he may have narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Narcissists project a grandiose but false image of themselves. Jim Jones, the charismatic leader of People's Temple, the man who led over 900 of his followers to cheerfully commit mass suicide and even murder their own children was also a narcissist. David Koresh, Charles Manson, Joseph Koni, Shoko Asahara, Stalin, Saddam, Mao, Kim Jong Ill and Adolph Hitler are a few examples of narcissists of our time. All these men had a tremendous influence over their fanciers. They created a personality cult around themselves and with their blazing speeches elevated their admirers' souls, filled their hearts with enthusiasm and instilled in their minds a new zest for life. They gave them hope! They promised them the moon, but alas, invariably they brought them to their doom. When you are a victim of a cult of personality, you don't know it until it is too late. One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse. 'Obama's early life was decidedly chaotic and replete with traumatic and mentally bruising dislocations,' says Vaknin 'Mixed-race marriages were even less common then. His parents went through a divorce when he was an infant (two years old). Obama saw his father only once again, before he died in a car accident. Then, his mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to Indonesia: a foreign land with a radically foreign culture, to be raised by a step-father. At the age of ten, he was whisked off to live with his maternal (white) grandparents. He saw his mother only intermittently in the following few years and then she vanished from his life in 1979. She died of cancer in 1995.' One must never underestimate the manipulative genius of pathological narcissists. They project such an imposing personality that it overwhelms those around them. Charmed by the charisma of the narcissist, people become like clay in his hands. They cheerfully do his bidding and delight to be at his service. The narcissist shapes the world around himself and reduces others in his own inverted image. He creates a cult of personality. His admirers become his co-dependents Narcissists have no interest in things that do not help them to reach their personal objective. They are focused on one thing alone and that is power. All other issues are meaningless to them and they do not want to waste their precious time on trivialities. Anything that does not help them is beneath them and do not deserve their attention. If an issue raised in the Senate does not help Obama in one way or another, he has no interest in it. The 'present' vote is a safe vote. No one can criticize him if things go wrong. Why should he implicate himself in issues that may become controversial when they don't help him personally? Those issues are unworthy by their very nature because they are not about him. Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to a contract and advance to write a book about race relations. The University of Chicago Law School provided him with a fellowship and an office to work on his book. The book took him a lot longer than expected and at the end it devolved into, guess what? His own autobiography! Instead of writing a scholarly paper focusing on race relations, for which, he had been paid, Obama could not resist writing about his most sublime self. He entitled the book 'Dreams From My Father.' Not surprisingly, Adolph Hitler also wrote his own autobiography when he was still nobody. So did Stalin. For a narcissist no subject is as important as his own self. Why would he waste his precious time and genius writing about insignificant things when he can write about such an august being as himself? Narcissists are often callous and even ruthless. As the norm, they lack conscience. This is evident from Obama's lack of interest in his own brother who lives on only one dollar per month. A man who lives in luxury, who takes a private jet to vacation in Hawaii, and who has raised nearly half a billion dollars for his campaign (something unprecedented in history) has no interest in the plight of his own brother. Why? Because, his brother cannot be used for his ascent to power. A narcissist cares for no one but himself. This election is like no other in the history of America . The issues are insignificant compared to what is at stake. What can be more dangerous than having a man bereft of conscience, a serial liar, and one who cannot distinguish his fantasies from reality as the leader of the free world? I hate to sound alarmist, but one must be a fool if one is not alarmed. Many politicians are narcissists. They pose no threat to others. They are simply self-serving and selfish. Obama evinces symptoms of pathological narcissism, which is different from the run-of-the-mill narcissism of a Richard Nixon or a Bill Clinton, for example. To him reality and fantasy are intertwined. This is a mental health issue, not just a character flaw. Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and even intelligent. It is this disguise that makes them treacherous. Today the Democrats have placed all their hopes in Obama. But this man could put an end to their party. The great majority of blacks have also decided to vote for Obama. Only a fool does not know that their support for him is racially driven. Let us call a spade a spade. This is racism, pure and simple. The truth is that while everyone carries a misconceived collective guilt towards the blacks for wrongs done centuries ago by a bygone people to a bygone people, the blacks carry a collective rancor, enmity or vendetta towards non-blacks and to this day want to 'stand up' to the white man.. They seem to be stuck in 19th century. The downside of this is that if Obama turns out to be the disaster I predict, he will cause widespread resentment among the whites. The blacks are unlikely to give up their support of their man. Cultic mentality is pernicious and unrelenting. They will dig their heads deeper in the sand and blame Obama's detractors of racism. This will cause a backlash among the whites. The white supremacists will take advantage of the discontent and they will receive widespread support. I predict that in less than four years, racial tensions will increase to levels never seen since the turbulent 1960s. Obama will set the clock back decades America is the bastion of freedom. The peace of the world depends on the strength of America, and its weakness translates into the triumph of terrorism and victory of rogue nations. It is no wonder that Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, the Castrists, the Hezbollah, the Hamas, the lawyers of the Guantanamo terrorists and virtually all sworn enemies of America are so thrilled by the prospect of their man in the White House. America is on the verge of destruction. There is no insanity greater than electing a pathological narcissist as president. This was just FYI. Pray now more then ever for our peace. Our country. Our world. This is the time for all of us to come together as Christians and really pray. Stand also for your Christian rights. God is our Lord, He is King of Kings, Lord of all! Our country does need intercessor prayer. That people eyes will be open. That God will be first in our lives. REMEMBER, this country was founded on the Bible, on God. IN GOD WE TRUST. Let that motto ring across our country. What Satan has put out there for evil God can change all things!!!!!! Pray!!!

Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin

Pray for our new leaders. There isn't coincidences in this world. God places the leaders for his time and purpose. Comes to my mind what Dad Hagen said before he passed on---- In a conference a word from the Lord--;" CHANGE CHANGE, CHANGE---: Change in the Government, Change in the Administrations and the third angle said, Change in the Churches. "Pray the Word of God and keep your eyes on the Eastern skies and pray for the peace of Jerusalem----. We know only peace will be when the Governments are on our Lords Shoulders and He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. His WORD says Let your heart "not be troubled---"these things has to be fulfilled---. Anytime The Father could say go get my children---Praise his Holy Name now and forever. Stand for what you do believe and know the word to back up your requests. The word says -- "my people will be known by the love they show one another. This was sent to be by dear friend Brenda. It is so true!!! Thank you Brenda Rev. Londa Picard

Subject: FW: Lie clock A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, 'What are all those clocks?' St. Peter answered, 'Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move.' 'Oh,' said the man, 'whose clock is that?' 'That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.' 'Incredible,' said the man'. And whose clock is that one?' St. Peter responded, 'That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life.' 'Where's Barack Obama's clock?' asked the man. 'Obama's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan.

Question & Answers Perry Stones Book

Question 3: I helped my husband receive Communion for several weeks before he passed away. I began feeling that it really doesn't work, or my husband would have been healed. Can you help me with this? Answer: I do not know the circumstances of the situation with your husband, so I cannot address your particular issue directly. It is as important, however, for the person receiving Communion to have faith as it is for the one giving the Communion Supper. "Will...unbelief make the faithfulness of God with out effect? Certainly not (Romans 3:3, 4)! We all have to remember that it is appointed unto men once to die (Hebrews 9:27) If we receive Communion everyday, and live to be 100, eventually we will die. Communion cannot keep a person alive forever. The second point I want to make is that a person can enter the kingdom of heaven, even if he dies from sickness. The Bible says of a great prophet: Elisha had become sick with the illness of which he would die (2 Kings 13:14) If a person does all he can to be healed, and passes away, we must trust the Lord that He knows what is best and has deeper plans, of which we are not aware. One must not miss the true, personal meaning of the Communion= to bring the believer into a more personal and intimate relationship with Christ."

Future Supreme Court, Letter from Dutch Sheets

Subject: Future Supreme Court Letter from Dutch Sheets The Stakes Couldn’t be Higher The ramifications of this are staggering! We are no doubt reaping great judgment now in America—diseases, family breakdowns, violence, a death culture, destructive weather, and much more—because of abortion alone…not to mention expelling God and His laws from our schools and government. I don’t know that we can survive another 40 years of this without completely losing our godly heritage and destiny. The economy will recover and the war will end no matter who is elected president—but this is not the case with the Court and the soul of this nation. If you don’t know where the candidates stand on the Court and the kind of Justices they would appoint, read the USA Today article. It makes their positions very clear. Share this information with every friend and acquaintance you have. And finally, pray like never before for God’s will to be done in this election. We CAN win this war and we MUST NOT lose this war. Pick up your word, go to war and let’s make history togetherHere are some practical suggestions to consider: Fast (a meal a day; a day this week; a Daniel fast; 3 days; TV; etc.) and spend the time praying. Agree in prayer with someone everyday for God’s will to be done. Hold nightly prayer meetings Take time in every gathering to pray. (Take 15 minutes in every service to pray for the elections. Turn an entire service to harp and bowl style intercession—worship and prayer combined.) Join 2 or more friends on a conference call and pray for 15, 20, or 30 minutes. Pray on the way to work (and on the way home). Pray before you go to sleep. Pray before church services. Ask God to give you His strategy—He will! October 27, 2008 With the upcoming elections 8 days away, satan has worked hard to deflect attention off of the real issue. This has been relatively easy through the economic meltdown and an unpopular war. Many Americans, including Christians, will vote based on these two issues. While these things are obviously important, they pale in light of the real issue—the Supreme Court. The cover story of USA Today, on Thursday of last week, spelled this out quite clearly. It stated that the real legacy of the next president won’t be the economy or the war, but the Supreme Court. The next president of the United States will appoint at least 2, and maybe 3, Justices in his first term. If he serves 2 terms, it could be 5 Justices—there are 5 of the 9 on the Court 70 years old or older! Since the trend is to appoint younger and younger Justices, the next president will most likely shape the court for the next 30-40 years! This means we are not voting only for a president, we are voting for the Court we want for the next generation! The vote we cast on November 4th will do more to shape the culture we give our children and grandchildren than any other vote of our lifetime! Perhaps some succinct bullet points will help us see this clearly: Without question, no institution, organization, or agency has shaped the current culture of America in the last 50 years more than the Supreme Court. You don’t need millions of people, the majority in Congress, or the President to shape the culture of America. You only need 5 people—the majority of the Supreme Court. Five people can kill 50 million babies (the number aborted since Roe vs. Wade), legalize homosexual marriage, remove parental rights, put God out of schools and government, rob from us our godly heritage, etc. It is now split—sometimes 5-4 toward life, family, morality, our godly heritage, the intent of our forefathers when they wrote the Constitution; sometimes 5-4 toward death, immorality, legislating their beliefs from the bench (though not their constitutional role or right, this is easy—they simply say the Constitution is a fluid, living document and therefore must be changed to accommodate the times), removing God from our nation, etc. 2-3 Justices will retire over the next 4 years, their replacements chosen by the next president; possibly a couple more will step down 5 to 8 years from now, making it 5 potential Justices that could be appointed by the next president if he serves 2 terms. This will determine how the Court rules for a generation. The first two Justices to go will almost certainly be Stevens who is 88 years old and Ginsberg who is 75 and ill. They are the two most liberal and are no doubt waiting to retire, hoping for a president that will replace them with 2 more liberals. These two replacements alone, if they are good, conservative judges could shift the Court toward righteousness for many years. Conclusion: our vote this November 4th will be not for a president, not for the economy, not for ending our involvement in Iraq. Our vote will be for what we want America to look like 40 years from now! For God and Our Great Nation, Dutch Sheets Keep looking up! V.

Isaac Newton & The days of Noah

Isaac Newton and "the days of Noah" Jim BramlettNov 3, 2008 Dear friends: As I have said many times, I am not a prophit, nor the son of a prophit. Actually, I don’t even know how to spel prophit. (Just kidding. I could not resist the humor.) Seriously, I am a reporter, not a prophet. My main subject is Bible prophecy, which is why most or all of you are on this mailing list, which is about 13-14 years old now. As a reporter, I would be remiss if I did not report to you some of the latest insights I have discovered about the possible timing of the Lord’s return. If you are shocked at the thought that God might reveal such timing, maybe even the day, please read what the Bible really says in my brief essay at http://choicesforliving.com/docs/canweknow.htm. There are many misconceptions on this subject. The purpose of this message is to share with you the latest work of two diligent prophecy students. Their work satisfies my two favorite, all-time concepts in end-time dating. That is: 1. The conclusions of the brilliant Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) about the 69 (62+ 7) weeks of Daniel chapter 9. Newton’s understanding has always fascinated me because of his great intellect and also the fact that he studied the book of Daniel from age 12 until he died at age 85. The Columbia History of the World, a secular history book, remarks, "At the end of his days he spent more time studying and writing about the prophecies in the Book of Daniel than he did in charting the heavens." Did God Himself put in Newton's heart this burning desire to study Daniel, then give him the key to the timing of Christ's return? Could this be the final profound secret the Lord revealed to this godly genius, the “father of modern science” near the end of his life -- a secret "accidentally" discovered in the Library of Congress and republished just in this past decade -- a secret so simple that most have missed it? 2. The major clue given to us by the Lord that the rapture would be “as in the days of Noah” (Matthew 24:37). For years I have felt that “the days of Noah” clue did not just mean a surprise on a sinful and unsuspecting people, but that an actual date is revealed. It is no accident that the Lord gave the exact calendar date that Noah entered the ark and the flood began -- the 17th day of the second month, or Cheshvan 17 on the Jewish calendar (Genesis 7;11, 13). Noah lived before the feast days were given to Moses, so the rapture may have no relation to Jewish feast days. The independent work of prophecy students Jerry Grenough and Marilyn Agee resulted in the above two concepts converging on Cheshvan 17, 2008, which on our Gregorian calendar is November 15, 2008. Read Jerry’s work on his November 1, 2008 post at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/nov2008/jerryg111.htm. Read Marilyn’s work on her October 29, 2008 post at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/oct2008/marilyna1029-1.htm. I commend Jerry and Marilyn for their insightful work. Jim

Proverbs 1:27-33

27) When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. 28) Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. 29) Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the Lord. 30) They would have none of my counsel And despised my every rebuke. 31) Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way. and be filled to the full with their own fancies. 32) For the turning away of the simple will slay them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them; 33) But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil. I know a lot of people doesn't believe in the end time coming, that we're all crazy. I rather be crazy for the Lord then be attacked by evil. God promises us if we will listen to Him we will dwell in His safety, & will be secure. We don't have to fear evil. We cannot live like satan himself, we need to listen to God and live His way!! Oh, you say there is no fun in God. Oh, yes there is!! Getting with a wonderful church group who has actives. The learning of the Lord!! If you keep going your own way God calls you a fool and you say there is no God. Start seeking God and wisdom. You cannot go wrong. It would be better for you to live with God then to be fools and live like satan. You will not go wrong doing that. You would also bring wholeness unto your soul & spirit. Not a dieing soul & spirit but life. Just take a momment and think about that. It would be better wrong with Christ, then dead wrong with satan. IN CHRIST NAME & LOVE AMEN Rev. Londa

It's only a quarter

Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Houston , Texas . Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, 'You' d better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.' Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as 'a gift from God' and keep quiet.' When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much change.' The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new preacher in town? I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I'll see you at church on Sunday.'When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.'Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Christians and will put us to the test! Always be on guard and remember that you carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself 'Christian'. Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits, they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder. God bless you. Yes, a friend emailed this to me. It is really good!! Love Rev. Londa
