MANAGING YOURSELF

FEDERAL RESERVE IS THE MOST POWERFUL ENTITY IN THE UNITED STATES

The only countries in the world without central banks are North Korea, Iran and Cuba. In the year 2000 this list suspiciously included Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Since the end of World War 2, the U.S. dollar has been the reserve currency of the world. This means that all central banks hold U.S. dollars in their reserves. So all other currencies are backed by the U.S. dollar. This means that your country is directly linked to the monetary policy in America.

Unfortunately, as we’ve already covered, in 1971 due to a falling U.S. dollar, international capital flows into gold, and the funding of the Vietnam war, former U.S. president Richard Nixon took the dollar off of the gold standard. Ever since then, the dollar has been floating and backed by nothing.

So if the US dollar is backed by nothing, and other currencies are backed by the U.S. dollar, then all currencies are backed by nothing tangible but trust in the US government. This means that all currencies are “fiat currencies,” and in Latin, “fiat” means “let it be done.” The consequence to having money backed by nothing is that
whenever the Federal Reserve creates money, it dilutes the currency supply of all other nations because their reserves are backed by the US Dollar. All country’s reserves are worth less each time money is created. In the past few years, the Federal Reserve has created trillions of dollars.

Countries like China and Russia have noticed this. As a reaction to the money printing, these countries have been selling U.S. dollar reserves and buying gold over the same period to protect themselves against the coming downturn.

The truth is that the whole economic system is able to run despite the fact that it is backed by nothing because of the people’s faith. Faith that you can exchange your money for goods and services. Part of the reason for this faith is the fact that nobody really knows where money comes from. A Central Bank is basically an agency that manages a country’s money supply. It loans money to the government with interest. Money which it has created out of thin air.

(“When you or I write a check there must be sufficient funds in our account to cover the check, but when the Federal Reserve writes a check there is no bank deposit on which that check is drawn. When the Federal Reserve writes a
check, it’s creating money.” – Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, “Putting It Simply” (1984)

If you or I were to print our own currency, we would be put in jail for creating counterfeit money. But they can do it because they created the system.

FEDERAL RESERVE ACT 1913

Their entire operations of global takeover are covered from public view by the mainstream media which feeds the public with information of little to no real value.
Central banks are far more influential than laws, governments or politicians but because of the cooperation of the educational curriculum and the mainstream media, they are not the focus of the general public.

By the 20th century, a group of bankers wanted to put a central bank in the United States of America. These men gathered off the coast of Jekyll Island and met for nine days and there they wrote what was to become the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. This is documented and a matter of public record. Anyone can go and investigate this on their own and I actually encourage you to do so.
Some of these men went on to write about these meetings in their personal biographies. Here is a quote from Frank Vanderlip president of the National City Bank of New York dated, February 9th 1935 in the Saturday evening post.

The federal reserve was originally drafted as the Aldrich bill. But when it came into congress, they recognized senator Aldrich’s name and smelt a rat. The bankers needed better cover. They decided to send two millionaire friends to carry the bill to quell the suspicions of congress and renamed it the Federal Reserve Act. Then, in a brilliantly deceitful manner, the bankers set out to fool the American people through disinformation. In the newspapers of the day, the bankers screamed and protested against the new Federal Reserve Bill. “It would ruin the bank’s.”
they exclaimed. The average person read the protest of the banks and thought, “if the banks are opposing it, it must be good for the people.”

Through this deception, they (the people) pushed the Federal Reserve Act through congress by force. The bankers also fooled congress by putting clauses in the bill that limited their power, only to remove them after the bill was passed. The double deception had the cunning evil foresight of Satan himself. The bill was passed on December 23rd 1913, while most of congress was out for the holidays and with that, a small group of men had a monopoly over the issuing and creation of American money. (The Privately Owned Federal Reserve).

Today, the Federal Reserve is the most powerful entity in the United States. They are not ashamed to admit it either. “The Federal Reserve is an independent agency and that means basically that there is no other agency of government that can overrule actions that we take. What the relationships are (between the U.S.
government and the privately owned Federal Reserve) don’t frankly matter.”
Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan The Federal Reserve cannot even be touched by investigating bodies.

This is relevant to people who are not U.S. citizens because the central banking system from England and the United States has now been put into all countries and even consolidated power in parts of Europe as the European Central Bank (ECB).

How It Began

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”
-Henry Ford

“Money does not grow on trees,” is something my dad used to tell me. I suppose I always wondered where money came from. Nobody ever explained it to me. I had to search and research until I learned what many strangely have no idea about. Money does not come from the government. Most people think it does, but when it comes to money, most people are guessing through life. Thousands of students attend high school in order to learn how to go to institutions of higher learning such as Universities and Colleges hoping to get a good job so that they can jump into
the job market and find a great place to exchange their time for money. This is a common goal of the masses of graduates who emerge from institutions of higher learning. What a poor goal to have.

So why are we not educated as to where money comes from and
who issues it and how it is made and the factors affecting its production?
Why is there no comprehensive in depth study specifically on the subject of money?

Most people can tell that there’s something not right with our money but can’t really put their finger on it and explain exactly what it is.

It has been in the world since the beginning. However, like everything else Satan finds that is pure, he makes a point of perverting. Money is no exception. The following is a brief history of how our modern day currency came to be.
The year was 1694, England had just suffered through 50 years of war. With their funds exhausted, the English needed loans to fund their political ambitions.
A Scottish banker by the name of William Paterson was one of the proponents of the privately owned central banking system. But this malevolent system predates him. He was only one of the puppets to put forward that a privately owned bank which was to issue money to the government out of thin air was to be the solution. Of course he did not put it in exactly those words.

There is no way we can speak of modern day money or banking as we know it without discussing a particular Jewish family, the house of Rothschild. The Rothschilds have been in control of the world for a very long time. Their extended tentacles reach into many areas of our daily lives. The Rothschilds claim to be a Jewish family but the truth is they are Khazars. The (so called “Jews”) originally come from a country called Khazaria which is now mostly covered by Georgia (eastern Europe).

By far, the wealthiest bloodline in the world never mentioned in any Forbes publication for obvious reasons and the leader of the Ashkenazi Jews in the world today is the Rothschild family. Their bloodline also reaches into the royal
families of Europe as well as the following family names:

Astor, Bundy, Collins, DuPont, Freedman, Kennedy, Morgan, Oppenheimer, Rockefeller, Sassoon, Schiff, Van Duyne and Taft. Please note that not everyone you see with the above names are actually a part of these malevolent family Rothschild criminal networks. The majority of Ashkenazi Jews have nothing to do with this conspiracy and are just living their lives innocently.

The intent of this chapter is not to single out a particular people for stigmatization, but rather to explain how we arrived at the current global economic situation we find ourselves in today.

What Schools Do Not Teach About Capitalism

Life’s greatest lessons are learned in this stage of life. God allows the pain because He can see the strength of wisdom being forged into your spirit. In this stage of life one is isolated, one reflects extensively, one is humbled, one learns how to pray, but praying for money all the time is not sustainable. I’m not saying that God does not give His children money, He does.
However, God wants to train managers and this is man’s main job in life. Management is the effective, efficient, correct and timely use of another person’s property and resources for the purpose for which they were delegated with a view to producing the expected added value to the person. Management implies that it should be better when it returns. God will give you what you can manage. God wants
you to be an economist.
Being an economist simply means getting the most out of the least, or getting the maximum out of the minimum. Myles Munroe said that answered prayer is regulated by your capacity to manage. Anything you fail to manage you
will lose. In hindsight, one can imagine all of the mismanagement which resulted in catastrophic losses.
Matthew 5:5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.”
Meek means self-discipline. The idea is that those with self-discipline and management skills will end up owning the property. Hollywood movies and modern day music videos with deceitful visuals of easy success and quick overnight riches do our youth a huge disservice. The quick path to riches is a shortcut to hell.

What we are dealing with when it comes to finances is a real life monopoly game where few have been given capital to begin while the rest have to start from scratch. For those who do not know what the game of monopoly is, I’ll
briefly explain. Monopoly is a board game which reflects the real life game of capitalism. In this game, players roll the dice (representing chance) and move around the board buying and trading properties and developing them into
hotels and homes. Then one player is able to collect rents from their opponents who are the other players also moving around the board. The difference is that at the beginning of the game each player is given $1,500 USD capital (board game money) to start with. One must then be careful how one moves in the game because it is possible to land in jail with a roll of the dice or end up in someone’s hotel or property where you are forced to pay for accommodation. The goal is to end up with as much property as possible and force the others into bankruptcy.

We as human beings are in a real life monopoly game but the problem is that the vast majority of us have not been given capital to start with and are therefore forced to start from scratch. We find ourselves in other people’s properties and we are forced to pay money we have not been given to begin with. As if that is not enough, if one is poor, he is ridiculed and despised for it, excluded from acquiring knowledge and skills (for lack of school fees) and relegated to the bottom of the social, political and economic totem pole. There are few stories of those who rise from rags to riches but for the vast majority, this dream seems to be nothing more than just that, a dream. Then as the sun rises they wake up to yet another economic nightmare. The process begins from childhood where one is forced to pay for school fees. If the child does not have money, they are excluded from having access to knowledge.

The knowledge they need so that they can eventually get a job and work for money.charging a child for knowledge is inherently wrong and any nation that participates in it is doing their youth a disservice. Nobody is born with money and excluding those who have no money from having access to knowledge is evil on primary and secondary levels.

How Many Times Do I Need to Forgive?

When a family member does something that hurts our feelings a couple of times, it may not feel like a big deal to forgive them. But what if they do it ten times? Fifty times? Now it is a different story. You may remember that Jesus’ disciples asked Him about this. “Then Peter came to him and asked, ‘Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?’ ‘No, not seven times,’ Jesus replied, ‘but seventy times seven!’” (Matthew 18:21–22 NT). Peter probably thought that forgiving his brother seven times for something was quite generous. Jesus blasted that out of the water when He called Peter to forgive seventy times seven. This, of course, was not meant to be a literal number. Four hundred eighty-eight . . . four hundred eighty-nine . . . almost there! It was a call to a lifetime and lifestyle
of forgiveness.

If you have rats in your house, you don’t get rid of them by eating a box of rat poison. That course of action won’t do anything to the rats and might just kill you. Holding on to bitterness and anger hurts us far more than the person with whom we are in conflict. Jerry asked, “How many times should we say no to eating rat poison?” Every time. All the time. “Seventy times seven times.”
Choosing forgiveness is choosing freedom.

The Call to Forgive

One of the most powerful Scriptures on forgiveness is also one of the shortest. God says in Colossians 3:13, “As the Lord has forgiven you, so you
also must forgive.” Here God compares His forgiveness of our sins to our
forgiveness of others.
Think of a specific family member with whom you have had conflict.
Let’s apply this passage to that relationship. Imagine an old-fashioned scale, the type of scale that balances two platforms. Objects can be placed on opposite sides, and the scale will reveal which object is heavier.
While this may not be a pleasant exercise, I would ask you to think about this family member who has hurt you. Imagine a pile on one side of the scale of all the things the person has done to wound you. On the other side of the scale, imagine a pile of all the sins you have ever committed against God.
Which side is heavier?
To which side does the scale tip?

The point here is not to minimize the wounds you have received from your family. For some of us, those wounds are serious and grievous. However, the sins committed against us are greatly outweighed by the sins we have committed against God. In this simple verse in colossians, God directs our attention to
His extraordinary forgiveness of our sins, which He made possible through the death of His Son, and then He calls us to follow His example and forgive those who have sinned against us.

Bitter Roots

In Hebrews 12:14–15, God tells us, “Strive for peace with everyone, and for
the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one
fails to obtain the grace of God; that no ‘root of bitterness’ springs up and
causes trouble, and by it many become defiled.”
The call here is to “strive for peace with everyone,” and if we are to do that with our family members, we must “see to it . . . that no ‘root of bitterness’ springs up.” God gives us a planting analogy for relationships and the effects of bitterness and un-forgiveness.
A family conflict starts with sin. It is a seed of offense and hurt. Sometimes, when we experience hurt and rejection from someone at home, we tell ourselves, “I’ll just take the high road here and let it go. Time heals all wounds.” While there can be value in choosing not to be easily provoked, it is simply not true that “time heals all wounds.” If you got a deep gash in your arm, you would not look at the open flesh and say, “No problem. I’ll just let that go. Time heals all wounds.” With major wounds, time without treatment leads to infection and far worse.

In the same way, if you plant a seed and then walk away and forget about it, what is that seed going to do? It is going to grow roots, sprout into a plant, and eventually bear fruit. The same thing happens when a seed of hurt is planted in our hearts. Unless we specifically address it through an intentional forgiveness process, it will grow a “root of bitterness.” Notice, then, that a root of bitterness always grows up to do two things. First, what grows from that root is going to cause trouble; and second, it will defile many. To defile means “to pollute or corrupt.” We see that second ugly effect in our home on an ongoing basis. Two people get into a conflict, and before we know it, all nine of us are going at it! Bitter roots do indeed spring up to cause trouble and corrupt many. This is why it is so urgent that we deal with the seed and any roots before they produce their destructive fruit.

A seed of hurt can work just like the seed from this plant. It goes in the ground, and although unseen, it immediately goes to work developing the tree’s root system. Then a small sprout emerges, and before we know it we are confronted with a full-size tree. Some of our current family conflicts are the result of seeds of hurt, and roots of bitterness, that were planted long ago.

The Crucible of Family Relationships

Your family is like a crucible. A crucible is a ceramic pot into which you put impure metal, and then under high heat the impurities separate from the metal and can be removed. Under the intense heat of family relationships our real character is revealed—the best and, far too often, the worst. Who we are at home is who we really are. Our true nature and character show up when we walk into our home and close the door. Why is it that I can easily go through a whole day at work without losing my patience with my co- workers, but then I lose my cool with the kids within ten minutes of arriving home? Because home life is real life.

Consider how great God’s divine plan is. The intense heat of our family relationships draws out the things in our character that need to be sanctified.
These ugly traits and behaviors come out at home with those whom God created to love us unconditionally and stick with us no matter what. Isn’t that a great plan? Can you imagine if our temper, impatience, and selfishness regularly came out at work, school, or church? We would not last long at any of those places.

By God’s design, the heat of family relationships brings everyone’s
character flaws to the surface. Put bluntly, family relationships reveal a lot
of sin. This is part of God’s plan that we might grow in faith, character, and
godliness. But none of this growth will happen without an essential
ingredient—forgiveness. If we desire greater happiness, peace, and love in
our homes, we must become experts in giving and receiving forgiveness.

The challenges in our families are not a surprise to God. He desires to use all those struggles and conflicts to draw us closer to Him, and to help us experience His gift of forgiveness and reconciliation.
The purpose of this first chapter in this series is to establish some foundational points about the nature of forgiveness and reconciliation. In the chapters that follow, we will explore personal and practical ways to pursue peace and healing in our family relationships.

Man lost Paradise because of impatience. It is the patience of God that
keeps giving man opportunities again and again to come back to Him and restore
whatever he lost.
No other religious literature teaches and illustrates patience as the Bible does.
It highlights the rewards of patience and remorse of impatience—

* Patriarch Abraham complicated matters and delayed the fulfillment of God’s promises because of his impatience.
* Moses’ impatience cost him entry into the Land of Promise.
*Jacob’s shortcuts and schemes were ultimately to his disadvantage.
* King Saul lost his crown and anointing because of impatience.
*Because of impatience Prophet Jonah was out of step with the God of patience.

*Joseph’s patience for many long years was rewarded with glorious exaltation.
*The young widow Ruth won the heart of Boaz because she waited patiently according to her mother-in-law’s instructions.
* Elisha patiently served Prophet Elijah and received the mantle of double anointing.
* Nehemiah patiently continued his work in spite of threats and discouragements, and completed the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem for the glory of God and the
good of His people.
* As we come to the New Testament, the patience of Jesus, as we observe in
the Gospels, is amazing. He was patience personified. No wonder the most beloved disciple called himself as the “companion of the patience of Jesus”
(Rev 1:9).

There will be no Bible history if God had not been patient. He never gave up on man. The repentance of every sinner celebrates the patience of God in the portals of Heaven.
No other virtue like patience needs so much patience to cultivate it. When we lose patience we lose everything. All the good things we have done can be destroyed
by one act of impatience. To be patient is more difficult in these days than in the
yester years.
We save lot of time in doing things but waste more time than the previous generations.

Have you ever prayed for patience? I think that all of us have prayed for this fruit at one time in our lives. Then we like to think, I prayed for it so now I have patience. Thanks God! Instead, God then gives us encounters or situations to develop our character, to learn to react out of love, and then we are able to grow in our patience. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 is a powerful passage. Verse 4 starts out saying, “Love is patient and kind,” and then verse 7 ends with, “Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful and endures through every circumstance.” Notice it said, “Love is patient.” The Bible also tells us that God is love, thus, it is fair to say God is patient. Another way we could read this phrase, “Patient in affliction,” is “God is in affliction.” That is powerful! Seek and choose God when times of affliction are occurring because He is always the right choice!

The terms “mental health” and “mental illness” are used much today, but are really quite vague and general terms. These terms mean different things to different people. In fact, they may mean different things to different psychiatrists.

One universal trait shared by all babies is selfishness; they are consumed by it. It matters not to a baby that mother is tired at 3:30 A.M. If his tummy is empty, he screams out his discomfort until his exhausted mother attends to his need. Babies think they are the only creatures on earth and by the painful process of maturing must learn that others exist. That’s why we call this process “growing up.”
The oil that reduces the friction of interpersonal relationships is maturity or unselfishness.

An individual is considered mentally healthy if he is in contact with reality and is sufficiently free of anxiety so that he is not significantly incapacitated functionally, socially, or biologically for any extended period of time. He is not so uncomfortable that he develops a prolonged sleep problem, becomes socially withdrawn, and has trouble at his job. This individual can still function emotionally without being unduly
uncomfortable for a prolonged period of time.

In contrast, an individual with a clear-cut mental health problem may have lost contact with reality; or be so filled with anxiety that he suffers significantly biologically, socially, and functionally. Symptoms that all people have (anxiety, fear, depression, worry, guilt, body aches and pains, etc.) Increase in magnitude
and occur more often in these individuals. Their biologic functions (sleep, appetite, sex) are impaired.
Their social interaction suffers. Other people may note that something seems wrong. They may be functioning poorly in their jobs. If a person has significant trouble in three basic areas (biologic, social, functional) beyond a transient period, he has a mental problem.

Harry Milt, Director of Public Information for the National Association for Mental Health, in a pamphlet entitled “How to Deal with Mental Problems,” provides a typical sample of this sort of propaganda when he says, “Sympathetic understanding, the kind you give to a person when he is sick with a physical
illness” is what the mentally ill person must have. He continues: You make allowances because you know he’s sick, that he can’t help his sickness, that he needs your sympathy and understanding.
The person with a mental problem is also sick and most of the time he can’t help it either.

While all problems ultimately stem from the fall of the human race, not all human problems are spiritual in that they involve the counselee’s specific relationship with God. Some problems, for example, may be caused by faulty learning, misinformation, early traumas, environmental stress, physical illness,
misperception, confusion over decision making, or other issues that may not be discussed
