Posted on April 28, 2011 at 5:06pmWhen a nation becomes out of step with God he has to let Satan come in and destroy But with some God control like He allowed Satan to come on Job God controls all and allows Satan to destroy to a point telling what line he can’t cross.
But if those people keep up their disobedionce God allows that line to move.
I live in Calif. I’m waiting for that line to be moved by God to destory must of the cities.

Posted on April 28, 2011 at 4:55pmHere in KY the last week or so has been nothing but rain and severe storms. Waking up at 2 am to tornado sirens going off is not good. Yesterday as well the sirens were going off once again. There was a funnel cloud sighted right over our neighborhood but thankfully it didn’t touch down. But then again this in KY in the spring. While we are getting a bit more nasty spring weather than the norm, it has happened before. Usually if we have a tough winter, by KY standards we are in for a rough spring. And the past winter was pretty rough. Things will calm down as we get into May and June. In 1974 nearby Stamping Ground was about wiped off the map in that super outbreak. Today you can still see the path with missing big trees.

Posted on April 28, 2011 at 12:21pmThis sure has been one heck of a spring for storms. I’m just thankful that where I am in E. Tenn., the worst that we got, was from two bad hail storms, about the size of walnuts that did some damage to the siding on the front of my house but the BIG thing, was that my horses came out of it just fine. Lost some sleep last night, however, as when I went out to check on them in between storms, they were no where to be found. Where ever they were, all three were fine this morning. I count my lucky stars, however, as it was no way as bad as others had it. Thank you, thank you.

Posted on April 28, 2011 at 2:22pmI think that you are absolutely right! We either believe God is in control or we don’t….and IF you believe God is in control, HAARP or anything else man has made will only be as he allows it to be.
BUT, I do think we are in a new era for us! Ezekiel 4:4-6 talks about a punishment from God for the house of Israel and the House of Judah for their sins. But, Leviticus 26: 18, 21, 24, 28 tells us that if there is a punishment and no repentance the punishment is multiplied 7 times. House of Israel did not repent so their punishment became 2730 years…..from 722 BC until 2008 AD.
Hosea is the prophecy about God’s plan for regathering of his children. Hosea and Gomer life is an allegory for God and the bride. Bible says the House of Israel (which non Jewish believers are grafted into) would be allowed to run like “wild donkeys” until the punishment was over. So for 2730 years people did what was right in their own eyes–and were innocent of many truths until punishment was over. Now he will bring us back to his ways.
“Correction” always starts in the House of the LORD Look at the fires, storms…..they are cutting through the “Bible Belt” of this country. So, if we have gone from “not my people” to recognized children, we certainly need to read the book and know the right way to walk.
We will also people like JD Carp who thankfully was spared damage when others were not (kindness and mercy). That is why it is so important to understand that things are not like we have always known them to be and show kindness, charity and understanding to others!

Posted on April 28, 2011 at 9:41amWe were up for 2 hours during the night in NC under tornado threats and alarms. The house we bought has no real safe place, which we are going to remedy real quick here, but it was an humbling experience to be under a stairway with two very frightened and very large dogs who had no clue why we were there. No wall to protect us from flying anything….. just huddle under the open stairway. My husband and two other dogs were huddled in a very short hallway on the other side of the door from us. Did you know dogs pray? Yep, they do, and we were quite glad of it. I cannot imagine the sadness and loss of those caught in a tornado. I realized so much of what I love in this world (like the THINGS we are not supposed to be so in love with) were pretty much all upstairs and if hit by a tornado, would be scattered to the winds. Good wake up call in many ways early this a.m.
I, too, join you in prayer for those in those affected by these horrible storms.

Posted on April 28, 2011 at 3:57pmKICKAGRANDMA – Family Safe makes a great tornado room. We got one 3 years ago that is in our garage. It’s 4×6 feet and all four of us (and our dog) can sit inside – although it’s tight. It’s rated to a F4. We’ve been in it several times this spring already. It can also be used as a “safe” room or a gun safe. They bring it to your house and install it very efficiently. It can be outside or inside, but we decided the garage was the easiest to get to.

Posted on April 28, 2011 at 9:32amClimates always change. There is no such thing as a static climate. Further, there is no “one” climate, climates vary by region, even by valleys and hills. Climates have been changing long before man, and will continue to do so long after we leave this rock and venture to the stars, assuming of course we shake off the disease of Statism successfully and regain our birthright of liberty. Humans have about as much effect on “the climate” as polar bears have an effect on blueprint drawings for Swiss watches.

True, climate change is a man made myth. The world operates under her own rules and climate cycles change on a basis of years and regions, one influencing others in the web of terrain, water, and atmosphere around the globe.

Posted on April 28, 2011 at 11:56amYes sir, HAARP Project in full force. I guess since most people aren’t buying into climate change, they are doing everything they can to get the numbers up for the 10 trillion dollar Chicago Carbon Exchange. If you lost a loved one in any of these storms consider them murdered by the global elite who are using the IMF and Climate Change to set up global regulations!
Here is a Google Search with many good links with information about the HAARP Project.

When I first heard of this I thought it was B.S. Then I looked up one day and noticed that 4 or 5 planes were basically manufacturing clouds. Those “chemtrails” turn into clouds if you hang around and watch for 30 to 60 min. Scary stuff. Why do military jets need to manufacture clouds? Why is our government heating parts of the ionoshpere thousands of degrees? Why is this contraption built on the magnetic north pole? The global elite wouldn‘t be screwing with the earth’s magnetic fields, would they?
I do honestly believe its to pump up support for climate change regulations. Even the global elite wouldn‘t do this much damage to simply make perfect weather for the royal honeymoon or to keep it from raining on or the wind from ruining someone’s golf game.
Read this stuff and make up your own mind. Our own citizens were murdered over the last couple of days for the idea of a New World Order and a $10 Trillion Dollar Chicago Carbon Exchange.

I live in Birmingham and this is a cycle that happens every decade or so. There was an EF5 tornado that hit Birmingham in 1998 and then it went quiet for years. Now it is starting back up.

Posted on April 28, 2011 at 9:55amWe have not experienced the horrific tornado in our area of Texas yet. However, I saw a huge front of storms come across our area the other day and it looked like a huge mushroom cloud building up as it came across the Texas hill country. It was astonishing and frightening at the same time. It looked eerily similar to the ways these storms started out. For several moments, and on into today I had to give my conspiracy theories some face time. We know the Chinese have seeded clouds before. Im just saying. The brush fires in Texas are much more suspect especially since Mr. Obama refuses to answer our call for help. Are these fires being set intentionally? Who knows.

Posted on April 28, 2011 at 1:16pmWow! It is amazing the power of nature and sometimes on rare days we witness a major tornado outbreak like these. The scriptures teach us that as we witness these things that this is but the beginning of sorrows. This weather system created many EF-4 and EF-5 tornadoes which normally are very rare. These certainly are some interesting times that we are living in. May the Lord bless, comfort and renew these people’s spirits. I pray they may witness many acts of kindness and love as they get back on their feet and may they feel the healing power of Jesus Christ. I pray many who have escaped these storms wrath who were not believers or right with God will be touched by many true Christians who reach out to them in love, service and support and find their way out of darkness and into the light. Unfortunately sometimes it takes these tragedies and wake up calls for the work of the Lord to be magnified and revealed as in the aftermath many acts of neighborly kindness, unselfish service and the Love of Jesus Christ is witnessed.
