Kim Clement: With sad we regret, we at Identity Network will miss this General in the Prophetic.

With sad we regret, we at Identity Network will miss this General in the Prophetic.

It is with deep sadness that we share the news that our beloved Kim has died and passed into Glory, and is now in the presence of his Lord, his best friend, Jesus. Kim was recently hospitalized with pneumonia and complications due to his diseased lungs, and his body was just too weak to combat the illness. The support and love that you have shown to Jane and the family throughout this 16-month journey has been crucial to them having the strength to withstand the fight. We are so very grateful, and we appreciate your continued prayers for the family as they face the upcoming days. Our hearts are broken, but we cannot mention his passing without honoring and celebrating the amazing life that Kim lived. His life and ministry were a testament to the love of Christ, imparting hope to everyone who heard his voice, and continuously stretching out his hand of generosity to those hurting and in need. Kim fought a good fight, finished the race, kept the faith, and is now embracing his exceedingly great reward in Heaven.

All-Star Baseball Player Inspires the Israeli Special-Needs Community - N. J. SCHIAVI/KEHILA NEWS ISRAEL CHARISMA NEWS

All-Star Baseball Player Inspires the Israeli Special-Needs Community

11/23/2016 N. J. SCHIAVI/KEHILA NEWS ISRAEL  CHARISMA NEWS

Baseball star Albert Pujols and his wife Deidre, president of the family's charitable organization, visited Israel for the first time, spending the past week in the Holy Land.

Pujols, who plays first base for the Los Angeles Angels, and Deidre made this off-season trip to the Jewish state to visit the spiritual sites of the country. The Pujols are strong Christians and very outspoken about their faith.

They are also advocates for people with Down syndrome. The Pujols' eldest daughter, Isabella (18), has Down syndrome.

One of the Pujols' stops in Jerusalem was Shalva National Children's Center, the premiere center in Israel for children with special needs. About 40 percent of Shalva's participants have Down syndrome.

Though Shalva has been in existence since 1990, in September, the organization opened the doors to its massive 200,000-square-foot center, which includes a semi-Olympic-size swimming pool, a basketball court and a municipal kindergarten for children ages 3 to 6.

Shalva's programs are offered free of charge, with programs for children with special needs from birth through 21 years old regardless of race or religion. With this new space, Shalva's programs will expand to include on-site vocational training for young adults, community sporting events and mentorship programs, while maintaining its traditional programs such as early intervention therapies, the after-school program and a respite center that serves 100 children each night.

After a tour of the facilities and a performance by Shalva's band for Pujols and his wife, the 10-time All-Star gave a quick batting practice for two Shalva teens with Down syndrome and signed autographs for the children.

The Pujols are a dynamo of life-giving endeavors. The Pujols Family Foundation, based in St. Louis, "promotes awareness of Down syndrome and works to support those who have it and their families, aids the poor in the Dominican Republic and supports people with disabilities and/or life-threatening illnesses," according to its website.

The foundation, founded in 2005, hosts events for people with Down syndrome, including a prom and cooking classes, and has supported the Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis. In 2009, the organization opened the Albert Pujols Wellness Center for Adults with Down Syndrome in Chesterfield, Missouri.

Deidre Pujols, who developed a passion for cooking, started her own cookware line, the profits of which are donated to families in poverty. The couple's children attend the foundation's fundraising functions with their parents, and Deidre even took their eldest son on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic.

Pujols was born in the Dominican Republic and immigrated to America in 1996. He was drafted into the Major Leagues in 1999 and played for the Cardinals' farm team until he was called up to the majors in 2001. That year, he was named Rookie of the Year, and his career took off from there. After 11 seasons, three National League Most Valuable Player titles and two World Series with the Cardinals, Pujols signed a 10-year contract with the Angels in 2011.

Pujols became a believer through the Deidre's influence shortly after the two met and before his career took off.

"In the Pujols family, God is first. Everything else is a distant second," he writes on his website. "My life's goal is to bring glory to Jesus. My life is not mostly dedicated to the Lord; it is 100 percent committed to Jesus Christ and His will. God has given me the ability to succeed in the game of baseball. But baseball is not the end; baseball is the means by which my wife, Dee Dee, and I glorify God. Baseball is simply my platform to elevate Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior."

Isabella is the oldest of five children. The others are Albert, Jr.; Sophia; Ezra; and Esther Grace. The family lives in St. Louis.

The couple's visit to Israel was an inspiration to children with special needs and to believers in the land.

Joel C. Rosenberg's Blog - Why did the Russian Prime Minister just visit Jerusalem and Jericho?

New post on Joel C. Rosenberg's Blog Why did the Russian Prime Minister just visit Jerusalem and Jericho? Moscow is moving aggressively to fill the vacuum Obama created in the Middle East. by joelcrosenberg (Jericho, West Bank) -- Make no mistake: the Kremlin is not waiting for the Trump-Pence administration to staff up and figure out its policies in the epicenter. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev are moving aggressively to meet with Middle Eastern leaders, court them, woo them, sell them weapons, sell them nuclear technology, and whisper in their ears that Moscow -- not Washington -- is the friend and ally they can trust over the long haul. Last week, just days after the stunning American elections, I arrived in Jericho to host a conference of Palestinian pastors and ministry leaders and their wives. As it happened, when my wife and I arrived at the hotel where the conference was to be held, we found it surrounded by heavily armed soldiers. There were new checkpoints on all the nearby roads. There were snipers on the roof. There were armed bodyguards everywhere, and the lobby was filled with dozens of advisors and protocol officers, standing around smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee. Why? Because Medvedev was on his way to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas (aka, Abu Mazen). Over the course of several days, the two leaders discussed the future of Moscow's relationship with the Palestinians, and specifically the Kremlin's offer to host peace talks between Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Abbas also used the occasion to name a street in Jericho after Medvedev to thank him for all the money the Kremlin has poured into the Palestinian Authority in recent years. Medvedev's first stop on this Mideast tour was in Israel where he met privately with Mr. Netanyahu. Officially, they marked the 25th anniversary of the establishment of formal diplomatic ties between Israel and the Russian Federation. But they also discussed Netanyahu's concerns about Russian military involvement in Syria, and the growing Iranian threat to the region, even as Moscow keeps selling Tehran nuclear technology and advanced military equipment. The Russian premier also met with Israeli President Reuven Rivlin (who himself recently visited Moscow). Medvedev also toured Yad Vashem, and visited the Western Wall. This was Medvedev's first state visit to Israel and the P.A. He was last here as a private citizen in 1990. So why did Medvedev decide to come to the epicenter now -- for the first time in two and a half decades -- and just hours after the American presidential elections? The answer is obvious: the Russians want to be the dominant global power in the Middle East. Putin and Medvedev see an enormous vacuum in the Middle East created by President Obama's steady and foolish retreat, and they are making all kinds of moves to fill that vacuum with Russian money, arms and technology before the next President decides exactly what U.S. foreign policy in the region will be. Consider just a few examples of Russian efforts in the region: Earlier this year, Russia agreed to loan Egypt $25 billion to build a nuclear reactor. Last year, Russia signed a $10 billion deal to build a nuclear reactor for Jordan. In August, Russian delivered its advanced S-300 air defense missile system to Iran. This month, Russia announced it may sell an additional $10 billion in arms -- notably tanks and fighter jets -- to Iran. In February, Iran announced it wanted to buy at least $8 billion in Russian arms. In January, Russia agreed to sell 46 attack helicopters to Egypt. In 2014, Russia signed $3.5 billion deal to sell arms to Egypt. Last week, Turkey indicated it wants to buy the state-of-the-art S-400 air defense missile system from Russia. President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Pence have their work cut out for them. Russia is going to be the big global story in the coming years -- Putin is a Czar in the making, he's an imperialist, he's dangerous. It's not yet clear Trump sees the Russian threat clearly -- so it's going to be interesting to see who Trump brings onto his national security team. Pence sees the Russian challenge clearly. I've discussed it with him, and I'm confident he will offer the new President wise counsel. I'm also encouraged that Trump has asked Rep. Mike Pompeo to be the new Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Pompeo also gets it. He's a West Point graduate, served honorably in the U.S. armed forces, sits on the House Intelligence Committee, and will bring a wealth of experience to the CIA. I had the opportunity to meet privately with Pompeo in his Capitol Hill office for an hour or so earlier this summer and was very impressed. He's a smart pick, and an encouraging one. Regarding General Mike Flynn, the incoming National Security Advisor, I don't know him personally, but am studying him carefully. We'll see who Trump picks to run State and Defense -- I'm praying they are leaders who truly see the Russian threat and are prepared to give the new President wise and thoughtful counsel. —————————– You can now pre-order my next novel — Without Warning — which will release on March 14, 2017.

Quotes

If you are born again, you have an adoret. You have a mantle that is appointed for you and it is not like any other mantle because it is the one that God has. – Rabbi Jonathan Cahn

You don’t earn the mantle, you just receive it and accept it. You know you are not worthy of it, but it makes you worthy. You just have to say, this is it, God said it, I am receiving this. This is who I am in Him. And I am going to live and if I fall, I am going to get back until I rise to that thing. – Rabbi Jonathan Cahn

You have the power to overcome by the mantle God gave you. Without it, no. But with the mantle, you can overcome. – Rabbi Jonathan Cahn

Jim Bakker shared a prophetic word with his fellow hosts on The Jim Bakker Show, including Zach Drew and Sasha Volz of Revelation in the News. 

"I believe there's going to be the greatest revival we've ever seen. And it won't be like any revival we've seen before, but I believe there's going to be a lot of shaking," Bakker tells the group.  

Though Americans may believe they've found hope in President-elect Donald Trump, Drew says Trump is a 21st-century Churchill, which means a war may be headed America's way.

Ben Carson Has Big Ideas About How Trump Could Unlock the Church's Prophetic Voice - JESSILYN JUSTICE CHARISMA NEWS

Ben Carson Has Big Ideas About How Trump Could Unlock the Church's Prophetic Voice

11/22/2016 JESSILYN JUSTICE  CHARISMA NEWS

Though once rivals on the Republican circuit, Dr. Ben Carson now serves President-elect Donald Trump as a godly counselor in an unofficial capacity.  

As Trump describes removing the Johnson amendment, Carson told a select group of evangelicals exactly how the move would free pastors to help return America to Judeo-Christian values.  

"If we get the Johnson Amendment rescinded, pastors can have fiery sermons and talk about what's right and what's wrong (again)," Carson said as part of the Salt and Light Lecture conference call.  

Officially, the Johnson Amendment prohibits those with 501(c)(3) tax distinctions like churches and ministries from engaging in political commentary. The amendment is often cited as to why pastors refrain from discussing controversial sins, such as homosexuality, in their pulpits.  

"Now we hear pleasant things and everybody sings "Kumbaya," and it's not an accurate representation of the world we live in," Carson says of today's churches. "If we rescind the Johnson Amendment and people are not afraid of losing their tax (status), then we will see Donald Trump be vigorous," and Judeo-Christian values return to the American forefront. 

Trump isn't the only advocate to rescind the amendment.  

Erik Stanley, senior legal counsel and head of the Pulpit Initiative for the Alliance Defense Fund, writes for the Los Angeles Times: 

The Johnson Amendment allows the government to determine when a pastor's speech becomes too "political." That is an absurdly ridiculous standard. A pastor's speech from the pulpit that talks about candidates from a scriptural point of view is religious speech. That speech doesn't become political any more than a pastor's speech becomes commercial when he gives a Scripture-based assessment of the current financial debacle on Wall Street. Allowing government agents to make that determination is as absurd as asking a first-grader to design and build NASA's next space shuttle.
The Johnson Amendment also allows the government to parse the content of a pastor's sermon to determine whether it violates the law. That is called a content-based restriction on speech, which the (First) Amendment's free-speech clause prohibits unless the government has a compelling reason for censorship.  

Without the amendment, Carson says, America can once again receive conviction from its pastors and become a godly nation once more.  

But churches are, perhaps, not in as much danger as they might expect. 

"The truth is, no church has never lost its tax-exempt status for either endorsing or opposing any political candidate or endorsing or opposing a local, state or federal law," said Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel. "Voting is both a privilege and a duty. The future of America is at stake every time we face a national election, and this upcoming election is one of the most important elections in recent history. To not vote is to vote. Silence is not an option. I encourage pastors to remove the muzzle that secularists want to put on them and exchange it for a megaphone to speak biblical truths regarding social and moral issues." 

In 2008, a host of pastors made plans to give politically charged sermons to protest the law. 

According to a new Pew Research study, 64 percent of regular churchgoers said they heard sermons on religious freedom, abortion, homosexuality, immigration, environmental issues and more during the election season.

Half Of The Population Of The World Is Dirt Poor – And The Global Elite Want To Keep It That Way - Michael Snyder THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG

Half Of The Population Of The World Is Dirt Poor – And The Global Elite Want To Keep It That Way Posted: 22 Nov 2016   Michael Snyder  THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG Could you survive on just $2.50 a day?  According to Compassion International, approximately half of the population of the entire planet currently lives on $2.50 a day or less.  Meanwhile, those hoarding wealth at the very top of the global pyramid are rapidly becoming a lot wealthier.  Don’t get me wrong – I am a very big believer in working hard and contributing something of value to society, and those that work the hardest and contribute the most should be able to reap the rewards.   In this article I am in no way, shape or form criticizing true capitalism, because if true capitalism were actually being practiced all over the planet we would have far, far less poverty today.  Instead, our planet is dominated by a heavily socialized debt-based central banking system that systematically transfers wealth from hard working ordinary citizens to the global elite.  Those at the very top of the pyramid know that they are impoverishing everyone else, and they very much intend to keep it that way. Let’s start with some of the hard numbers.  According to Zero Hedge, Credit Suisse had just released their yearly report on global wealth, and it shows that 45.6 percent of all the wealth in the world is controlled by just 0.7 percent of the people… As Credit Suisse tantalizingly shows year after year, the number of people who control just shy of a majority of global net worth, or 45.6% of the roughly $255 trillion in household wealth, is declining progressively relative to the total population of the world, and in 2016 the number of people who are worth more than $1 million was just 33 million, roughly 0.7% of the world’s population of adults. On the other end of the pyramid, some 3.5 billion adults had a net worth of less than $10,000, accounting for just about $6 trillion in household wealth. And since this is a yearly report, we can go back and see how things have changed over time.  When Zero Hedge did this, it was discovered that the wealth of those at the very top “has nearly doubled” over the past six years, and meanwhile the poor have gotten even poorer… Incidentally, we tracked down the first Credit Suisse report we found in this series from 2010, where the total wealth of the top “layer” in the pyramid was a modest $69.2 trillion for the world’s millionaires. It has nearly doubled in the 6 years since then. Meanwhile, the world’s poorest have gotten, you got it, poorer, as those adults who were worth less than $10,000 in 2010 had a combined net worth of $8.2 trillion, a number which has since declined to $6.1 trillion in 2016 despite a half a billion increase in the sample size. If these trends continue at this pace, it won’t be too long before the global elite have virtually all of the wealth and the rest of us have virtually nothing. Perhaps you are fortunate enough to still have a good job, and you live in a large home and you will sleep in a warm bed tonight. Well, you should consider yourself to be very blessed, because that is definitely not the case for most of the rest of the world.  The following 11 facts about global poverty come from dosomething.com, and I want you to really let these numbers sink in for a moment… Nearly 1/2 of the world’s population — more than 3 billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day. More than 1.3 billion live in extreme poverty — less than $1.25 a day. 1 billion children worldwide are living in poverty. According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. 805 million people worldwide do not have enough food to eat. Food banks are especially important in providing food for people that can’t afford it themselves. Run a food drive outside your local grocery store so people in your community have enough to eat. Sign up for Supermarket Stakeout. More than 750 million people lack adequate access to clean drinking water. Diarrhea caused by inadequate drinking water, sanitation, and hand hygiene kills an estimated 842,000 people every year globally, or approximately 2,300 people per day. In 2011, 165 million children under the age 5 were stunted (reduced rate of growth and development) due to chronic malnutrition. Preventable diseases like diarrhea and pneumonia take the lives of 2 million children a year who are too poor to afford proper treatment. As of 2013, 21.8 million children under 1 year of age worldwide had not received the three recommended doses of vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. 1/4 of all humans live without electricity — approximately 1.6 billion people. 80% of the world population lives on less than $10 a day. Oxfam estimates that it would take $60 billion annually to end extreme global poverty–that’s less than 1/4 the income of the top 100 richest billionaires. The World Food Programme says, “The poor are hungry and their hunger traps them in poverty.” Hunger is the number one cause of death in the world, killing more than HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. So how did we get here? Debt is the primary mechanism that takes wealth from ordinary people like you and me and puts it into the hands of the global elite. In my recent article entitled “Why Donald Trump Must Shut Down The Federal Reserve And Start Issuing Debt-Free Money“, I discussed how the Federal Reserve was designed to entrap the U.S. government in an endless debt spiral from which it could never possibly escape.  And that is precisely what has happened, as the U.S. national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913. In that very same year, the federal income tax was instituted, and that is a key part of the program for the global elite.  You see, the income tax is how wealth is transferred from us to the government.  And then a continuously growing national debt is how that wealth is transferred from the government to the elite. It is a very complicated system, but at the end of the day it is all about taking money from us and getting it into their pockets. And at this point more than 99.9 percent of the population of the world lives in a country with a central bank, and almost every nation on the planet has some form of income tax. It is a global system that is designed to create as much debt as possible, and I recently shared with my readers that the total amount of debt in the world has hit a staggering all-time record high of 152 trillion dollars. Interestingly, the Bible actually foretells of a time when rich men would hoard wealth in the last days.  The following are the first five verses of the Book of James in the Modern English Version… Come now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up treasures for the last days. 4 Indeed the wages that you kept back by fraud from the laborers who harvested your fields are crying, and the cries of those who harvested have entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts. 5 You have lived in pleasure on the earth and have been wayward. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter. So much of the time we focus on the other great sins that we see all around us, but the truth is that one of the greatest sins of all in our world today is the sin of greed. The borrower is the servant of the lender, and the global elite have used various forms of debt to turn the rest of the planet into their debt slaves. As debt levels race higher and higher all over the planet, the elite are using the magic of compound interest to grab a bigger and bigger share of the pie. Given enough time, those at the very top would have virtually everything and the rest of us would have virtually nothing.  The middle class is shrinking all over the globe, and the gap between the wealthy and the poor continues to grow at an astounding pace. But the vast majority of people out there have no idea how money, debt, taxes and central banks really work, and so they have no idea that this is purposely being done to them. So please share this article with as many people as you can.  The truth is that we don’t have to have this much global poverty, and if we correctly identify the root causes of this poverty we can start working on some real solutions.
