The
Holy Bible Is The Immutable Living Word Of The Eternal God.
The Only
Bible we Recommend Is The King James / A.V. Bible.
Here's the
reason, shocking but enlightening truth: The
Bible Is Used To Deceive
A Message From Peter James
From Stream To
Stand Pipe
<=---------------------- The Regression ------------------------------ =>
A WATER leak that gushed through a hamlet for 16 YEARS was
finally stemmed —
when a
farmer turned it off at a stopcock.
Water board officials had always insisted the stream
pouring down a lane was
a natural SPRING.
The leak created a constant river — and even a muddy
pool at its “source”.
We have been through many
months of price hikes for petrol because of real and
fictitious shortages. Now a continuing and very real
threat of water shortages is
facing the United
Kingdom, and other parts of the world. In the U.K. hose pipe bans
and other severe measures
to stretch the water supplies have been implemented in
some areas, with
announcements expected in many more areas shortly.
We are now dealing with the
basics of life, no water, no life.
Some years ago, in their
manifest wisdom the government saw it fit to privatise
this basic life resource.
A water company has not even
fixed a massive leak right next to their own offices
which has been pouring
millions of gallons of water down the drain over a period
of 8 months. They said
that they did not know how to fix it!
We can build nuclear bombs, and
send spacecraft to Mars,
but we cannot fix a water leak!
The water companies have
made handsome profits, while they admit to losing some
800 million gallons of
water daily through leaky pipes.
That is an enormous
amount of water.
With a UK population of approximately
60.4 million, that means approximately 13 gallons
of water are lost daily,
for every man, woman, and child, in the country.
A drought stricken sub
Saharan African would think that so much water would
be a luxury. We can see
that our conduct is obscene. Some Interesting UK facts
are at the end of the
document.
All that privatisation
has done is that it has hastened our demise.
Instead of recognising
how important a resource water is, and fixing leaks and
conserving water, we prefer to plunder the deep underground
aquifers of our water
reserves. These need to
be replenished by the autumn and winter rains, when
vegetation is dormant.
As winter rain has been
almost negligible in many areas, they have not been replenished.
The professionals say
that even if it rained every day for the rest of the year
it would not make any
difference, as vegetation would soak up the rain.
Rivers are rapidly drying
up and becoming walking paths.
You hear that the mighty
Amazon River in South America is also drying up.
Somalia amongst other
places is facing severe drought and famine.
The problem certainly
seems to be international.
Yet at the same time
flooding has been devastating several countries in central Europe.
The wrong type of rain in
the wrong season.
Many of our houses are
well stocked with TV’s, computers and other gadgetry.
Even in India, which has
a water problem, more people have access to a TV than
to clean water.
It seems that we are
going to be in the very same situation in the U.K.
There is talk about water
tankers travelling with armed guards.
We tend to think that the
illiterate Africans are responsible for their perennial
drought conditions.
It now appears that it is
rather the industrial activity of Europe which has interfered
with the weather systems,
which have resulted in the lack of rainfall in places like
Ethiopia. Industrial
pollution has shifted the weather systems from their normal
positions.
Of course adding money to
an equation tends to make it worse.
Soon greed will rear its
ugly head.
However, there is more to the
story than all of the above.
Rain is a blessing from
the Eternal God.
Clean rain in due season
is a critical blessing.
Leviticus 26:4 Then
I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and
the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
It therefore follows that lack of rain, the wrong
kind of rain, or rain at the wrong time,
means that the blessing of rain the right amount of
rain at the correct season has been
with held.
Here we can see that Solomon was
fully aware that the withholding of rain had a cause,
and that sin, was the cause of
this result.
1 Kings 8:35 When heaven is shut up, and there is no
rain, because they have sinned
against thee; if they pray toward this place, and
confess thy name, and turn from their
sin, when thou afflictest them:
1 Kings 8:36 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants,
and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk,
and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to
thy people for an inheritance.
Solomon knew that the solution to
drought was that the people needed to be taught
by the Eternal God, the good way
wherein they should walk.
Moses made it clear that drought,
the shutting up of the heavens, would result in the destruction of from off the good land, which they had been
given.
Deuteronomy 11:17 And then the LORD’S wrath be kindled
against you,
and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and
that the land yield not her fruit;
and lest ye perish quickly from off the good
land which the LORD giveth you.
I am saying that sin and rebellion are the cause of
all our problems.
But, many people feel, and some even infer that they
have no sin.
The very section of the Bible that exposes sin, is
the section which the modern
Christian tries to discard.
Of course I mean the Old Testament.
There we not only see various sins described, we also
see the secret activities,
which we have no means of knowing, exposed.
It is very easy to see sin in others, but not in
ourselves.
As our present condition in the Tribulation which is
gathering pace,
is beginning to affect us, we need to understand what
is going on, and take the proper
course of action to try to resolve our dire
situation.
We have main political and religious leaders involved
in immoral sinful misconduct.
I am not pointing a finger. What I want to show is
that the media and the public
in general says that we should not concern ourselves
with the private lives of these
public figures. I am not even saying that we should
concern ourselves,
however, what I am saying is that the country at
large suffers, when its leaders sin,
regardless of what our ‘opinions’ are, about how well
an individual carries out his paid
employment. Furthermore, our general response shows
that the general public,
at the very least condones these wrong
activities.
Lying, stealing, vulgarity, abortion, plundering the
poor, gross sexual behaviour, idolatry,
adultery, fornication, violence, etc. etc., are
accepted as normal.
When I say rebellion this is what I mean.
Psalms 78:8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious
generation;
a generation that set not their heart aright,
and whose spirit was not steadfast
with God.
Isaiah 1:23 Thy princes are rebellious, and
companions of thieves: every one loveth
gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not
the fatherless, neither doth the
cause of the widow come unto them.
Isaiah 30:9 That this is a rebellious people,
lying children,
children that will not hear the law of the
LORD:
Ezekiel 2:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of
Israel,
to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me:
they and their fathers
have transgressed against me, even unto this
very day.
I do believe that the English speaking people
comprise a great proportion of the
ancient nation of Israel if not all of it.
I believe that the Jews are Judah which is different.
Of course many of the “Jews”, are not really Jews at
all.
This is one of two references. The second is
Revelation 2:9.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of
Satan, which say they are
Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make
them to come and worship before thy
feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
I believe that the English, are the tribe of Ephraim.
It is no accident that English is the main language
of industry, education and
Christianity. When you actually read the bible with
this in mind you will then see how
dire our situation is.
Isaiah 28:1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the
drunkards of Ephraim,
whose glorious beauty is a fading flower,
which are on the head of the fat valleys of
them that are overcome with wine!
Regarding nations, we have to keep in mind that the
bible is mainly about the Israelite
and Jewish nation, and the nations with whom they
come into contact. The New
Testament after Acts is about Christians, but even
then the majority of believers were
Jews.
I strongly suggest that you read the books of Isaiah,
Jeremiah, and Ezekiel to get
some idea of what is going on. You will not
understand all of it, no one does.
Like a huge puzzle you will find a little bit here
and a little bit there.
Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept,
precept upon precept; line upon line,
line upon line; here a little, and there a
little:
Isaiah 28:7 But they also have erred through wine, and through
strong drink are out
of the way; the priest
and the prophet have erred through strong
drink, they are
swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through
strong drink; they err in vision,
they stumble in judgment.
At any week preceding a holiday when I visit the
local huge supermarket I see vast
quantities of alcohol going through the checkouts.
My purpose for introducing this section was just to
show that we are not seeing reality,
and the truth is very different from what you see in
the media and hear in the
churches.
We are doing the very opposite of what we are
commanded by the Eternal God to do.
There is a cause for drought, for war, for family
breakdown and every evil.
We deal with all these things on this website.
It is not exclusive to us others are also doing this.
The idea that Grace is license to do what we want, to
do good works, and have a good
time, is not of God.
The way that we should conduct ourselves is clearly
defined, in the word of God.
We can probably add that many of the activities which
obviously show the lack of a
sound mind, have been allowed to take place, by the
Eternal God, in order to wake
people up.
Simple logic, indeed even the advice from the water
companies, not to have dripping
taps, to repair leaks quickly, should first of all be
applied by the water companies
themselves. It is common sense, that a five year old
can understand.
The fact is that we needed more reservoirs and none
were built for whatever reason,
objections etc.
The reality is that no water no life, though you
might well have tel-lie-vision and the
world cup.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,
and of love, and of a sound mind.
Let us make the above verse crystal clear.
It tells us that a sound mind is a gift from God.
Since most people including the ministers of the
churches and of the government,
actively oppose the Eternal God, according to this
verse they will have unsound minds.
Do you now understand why you are unable to
understand the decisions of the
government, of the churches, and the courts?
It is very clear that our leaders and their
supporters do not act with sound minds.
We can also say that they are often professional
people and well educated,
however, it is because of a lack of knowledge that we
are in confusion and perishing.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:
because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt
be no priest to me: seeing thou hast
forgotten the law of thy God,
I will also forget thy children.
I mentioned the wrong kind or rain.
In Britain we are famous for having the wrong kind of
everything.
When things go wrong in the winter, we have the wrong
kind of snow for example.
We can see the wrong kind of rain here.
Deuteronomy 28:24 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust:
from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou
be destroyed.
My car is coated with a gentle coating of dust, that
is coming out of the sky.
In my area, the rain clouds are always visible, but
they just pass us by as they go
elsewhere, often passing other places by as well.
I heard a phone-in radio program, and a caller from
the North of the country said that
he did not see what all the fuss was about as they
had plenty of rain in the Yorkshire
area.
I really do wonder at the comments listeners make on
phone-in programs.
In Amos it is very clear that rain can be on one city
and then not on another.
Often the parched ground cannot absorb the rain and
flooding results.
Those who do not need the rain, keep getting it, and
those who need it get very little,
if any.
Amos 4:7 And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were
yet three
months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon
one city, and caused it not to rain
upon another city:
one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it
rained not withered.
I am fully aware of the use of weather as a weapon.
Some days you can see the artificially made Chemtrail
clouds absolutely covering the
sky. Other times for several days you can see
overcast days with the threat of rain but
hardly a drop falls.
What those people who tamper with the weather need to
understand is that they have
to start factoring the Eternal God into the equation,
as He is very real and He takes
an active interest in His creation.
Jeremiah 14:22 Are there any among the vanities of
the Gentiles that can cause rain?
or can the heavens give showers? art not thou
he, O LORD our God?
therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made
all these things.
We have stated several times that we are in the
tribulation right now.
Rain is going to play a crucial part in these end
times.
The withholding of rain is something that the two
witnesses will do, as they desire.
Revelation 11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of
their
prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to
blood, and to smite the earth
with all plagues, as often as they will.
It happened in the past and it will happen again.
Elijah did that.
1 Kings 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of
Gilead, said unto
Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before
whom I stand, there shall not be dew
nor rain these years, but according to my word.
The terrible drought was only broken after Elijah
prayed that it would be broken.
James 5:17 Elias (Elijah) was a man
subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed
earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on
the earth by the space of three
years and six months.
As we have said so many times there is a price for
our rebellion.
Jeremiah 14:1 ¶ The
word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth.
2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish;
they are black unto the ground; and
the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
3 And their nobles have sent their little ones
to the waters: they came to the pits, and
found no water; they returned with their vessels
empty; they were ashamed and
confounded, and covered their heads.
4 Because the ground is chapt, for there was no
rain in the earth, the plowmen were
ashamed, they covered their heads.
5 Yea,
the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no
grass.
6 And the wild asses did stand in the high
places, they snuffed up the wind like
dragons;
their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.
7 O LORD, though our iniquities testify against
us, do thou it for thy name’s sake:
for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against
thee.
We cannot really blame Iraq for our plight.
In fact the coalition troops destroyed their ability
to get fresh water and power,
which they had before the invasion to bring them
‘freedom’.
We have written many messages showing that we will
reap what we sow.
It might not happen how we envisage it, but happen it
will.
If it does not happen, then the Eternal God would not
be faithful to His word.
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Some might feel that they have been wise and paid
attention, and they have saved some
rain water in water butts, I have some water in water
butts. If that is where our faith
is, we are indeed in just as much trouble as those
who have no water.
We would be very surprised how much water we actually
use every day.
Water butts would only last a very short time.
In any case to focus on catching a few gallons of
water is to miss the point,
just like the woman at the well did.
John 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw
water: Jesus saith unto her,
Give me
to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him,
How is it that thou, being a Jew,
askest
drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria?
for the
Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou
knewest the gift of God,
and who
it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him,
and he
would have given thee living water.
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast
nothing to draw with, and the well is deep:
from
whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well,
and drank
thereof himself, and his children, and
his cattle?
13 Jesus
answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst
again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall
give him shall never thirst;
but the
water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up
into
everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give
me this water, that I thirst not,
neither come
hither to draw.
Christ was thirsty so He asked for a drink of water.
However, He knew that the important thing that the
woman needed was living water,
and not just the physical water.
In the book of beginnings, Genesis, we are introduced
to the Tree of Life, and that is the tree from which Adam and Eve, and
ourselves should eat.
Here, Christ introduced us to Living Water, which is
the same as the Tree of Life.
Without physical water we would eventually die.
Without Living Water, which is none other than
Christ, we would be lost.
There would be no salvation.
Wisdom decrees that we quit our rebellion, our pride,
arrogance and idolatry,
and become obedient.
The following verses clearly explain the cause of
drought.
Jeremiah 5:24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now
fear the LORD our God,
that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in
his season: he reserveth unto us
the appointed weeks of the harvest.
25 ¶ Your iniquities
have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden
good things from you.
26 For among my people are found wicked men:
they lay wait, as he that setteth
snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are
their houses full of deceit:
therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
28 They
are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked:
they judge not the cause, the cause of the
fatherless, yet they prosper;
and the right of the needy do they not judge.
29 Shall I not visit for these things?
saith the LORD:
shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as
this?
On the Rhema pages on our website, we have the
following very relevant statement.
“ YOUR HOUSE IS
ON FIRE!!! Come Drink Of The Water of Life.”
Your house is truly on
fire.
There is no water in the
taps, which can put it out.
It is time to repent
before it is too late and Come Drink Of
The Water of Life.
You have a choice.
You must chose.
You have been commanded to choose life.
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day
against you,
that I have set
before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life,
that both thou and thy seed may live:
These are the
closing words of the Bible.
Revelelation22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And
let him that heareth
say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And
whosoever will,
let him take the water of life freely.
You can see from this that water is of critical
importance in every possible way.
The Eternal God invites you to take of this water
freely.
To this I say Amen.
The relevant documents on the website are too many to
mention.
I recommend that you browse the site for additional
messages.
Zechariah 14:16 ¶ And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left
of all the
nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year
to worship
the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that
whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto
Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
The only way out of our dilemmas is Jesus Christ.
He is the only way of escape.
Praise the Lord.
Come soon Lord
Jesus.
Amen.
Some Interesting Facts about water in
the UK.
Water companies are making record profits despite presiding
over sharp increases
in water leakages.
Figures from the Office of Water
Services (Ofwat) reveal rising leak rates for five
of Britain's 23 water firms between 2001 and 2005.
United Utilities, which supplies the North West of England,
allowed 132 million gallons to leak away each day last
year,
while pre-tax profits rose from £237.9 million to £244
million.
Three Valleys Water lost 39 million gallons a day last
year,
two million gallons more than in 2001, while pre-tax
profits of the firm,
which covers parts of Essex and Hertfordshire,
rose by 32 per cent from £31.6 million to £42.7 million.
South Staffordshire Water, which serves the West Midlands,
lost more than 19 million gallons a day in 2005,
but saw pre-tax profits rise 21 per cent to £18 million in
2005.
Cambridge Water Company lost 3.7 million gallons a day in
2005,
as pre-tax profits rose to over £4 million.
Thames Water, Britain's biggest water company, is the worst
offender.
Since 2001, its daily leakages have risen from 181 million
to 241 million gallons
- up 32 per cent.
Over this period the firm's profits have dipped slightly
from £259 million in 2001
to £256 million last year.
The figures come as millions in the South East face the
most wide-ranging water bans in a decade.
Thames Water's hosepipe ban from next month will affect 14
million homes.
A further six companies have either announced bans or plan
to impose them from April.
With an estimated 800 million gallons haemorrhaging each
day from antiquated mains networks
- enough to supply almost nine million homes - consumer
groups yesterday called on the nation's
water companies to do more to plug the leaks.
The Consumer Council for Water said there was more chance
of a resentful public accepting bans
if water companies put their own houses in order first.
The National Consumer Council said companies should be
forced to demonstrate that
they had done everything possible to limit leaks.
If they have not taken all steps yet are still imposing
bans,
this would not seem a very fair approach," said a
spokesman.
"If water companies are continuing to make large
profits there is no reason
why they shouldn't be addressing these leaks."
