Financial Disaster Coming?
 A few weeks ago, I was speaking to the mother of a stock broker in New York and we were discussing the volatility of the stock market. She mentioned that her daughter, the stock broker, had told her that she is expecting a critical downturn in the market soon, due to the crisis in the mortgage and housing industry.
Early in the morning on November 6 I awoke trembling because of a powerful dream that Gary and I believe was a warning from the Lord. In my dream I was at a mountain retreat with many of our friends. I went outside and looked miles down into a valley as if I were right in the valley. I saw a battle going on between the forces of good and evil and everyone was on horseback. Suddenly I saw all the good people killed. I knew they were going to come and kill all of us also, so screaming in terror, I ran to get Gary. I told Gary to get our horse so we could escape.
Suddenly a woman came up to me and she wanted to show me all her new clothes and jewelry she had just purchased. I told her I did not have time and that we must escape. Gary and I were the only ones who escaped and the others were killed. Gary and I believe this woman represents the American Church that is preoccupied with materialism and self-indulgence, and is oblivious to the things that are coming upon us.
I woke up trembling and Gary prayed for me. I then prayed that the Lord would reveal the meaning of this dream to me and very clearly I heard the word “Financial.” I had a knowing that the Lord was warning us of a pending financial disaster coming to America. My sense was that the Lord was saying this would involve the stock market. I also sensed from the dream that the worst will begin in about six months to a year.
We have been praying about this and asking the Lord for confirmation. Today the stock market fell again. We went to our bank, Washington Mutual, to ask them what percentage of their assets are tied up in mortgage lending and what is their debt to asset ratio. At our branch bank today there was a man from corporate headquarters who is Washington Mutual’s financial advisor for investments. He told us that this bank is one of the largest mortgage lending banks in the U.S. and that they have made some very foolish loans as did others. He seemed angry at the mistakes they have made and said the worst is yet to come. He felt the bottom will hit in about 12 months. This seemed to us like confirmation of the message of my dream.
My advice to everyone is to pray about this and ask the Lord to give each of you insight and get out of debt as soon as you can. Today on the financial news they were forecasting that retailers are expecting poor Christmas sales and oil prices are the highest they have ever been.
I feel the Lord is sending us a warning to be cautious, to ask questions and to pray.

Anyone remember a song from many years ago by Larry Norman called 'I Wish We'd All Been Ready'? There is a line which says '..a piece of bread could buy a bag of gold.'
More importantly, Jesus told us not to lay up treasure on earth, but to lay up treasure in heaven for where our treasure is, there will our heart be also. We need treasure in our heavenly bank account that will not only not rust but will not be able to be stolen!Also it will surely be accrueing interest to our account! This will be our supply in the days of need. This is the only safe place to store. So our sister who has devoted herself to pray and give to the 'Mother Theresas' of Kazakhstan is a wise woman, following the commands of our Lord Jesus. Has He not promised to be our Provider? We do not need to scheme and work out how we will survive in a financial crisis. We need to do what He tells us to do.
'Give and it shall be given to you - good measure, pressed down and running over.'
God bless you all!

We are stewards of what our Father has given us. Giving to the poor and investing in silver can both be investments in the context of the Kingdom of God as we practice stewardship and seek to obey Him and follow His advice.
Yes, gold and silver won't help if there is no food to buy, but few of us are in a position to grow a significant part of our own food. The best we can do for now may be to try to purchase a supply of some long-term storable foodstuffs and possibly grow some fruit and/or vegetables wherever we live... and listen to the Holy Spirit and move when we are directed to move.
As long as food may be purchased, it is prudent to try to invest in such a way as to protect the purchasing power of the finances with which our Father has entrusted us during a time when our fiat currency is rapidly losing value. Investing in silver does seem to be good advice for those who have substantial savings and want to be good stewards.
I have been investing in the Prudent Bear mutual fund with a large portion of what our Father has given into my care, and I believe that I'm doing so at the direction of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has directed me to sell my home reasons seemingly being to enable me to move quickly in the future and to have available the equity from the home, and to get out of debt. I am praying about what our Father would have me do with the proceeds from the sale, since I am steward of that money for His sake.
Shalom,
Daniel

May God Save the poor!

| | | Jan Bennett (Guest) | 12/30/2009 21:44 | | Your vision came to pass. Washington Mutual was sold to Chase this year. Look at the mortgage industry crisis. Look how many are going into foreclosure and losing their homes losing their jobs! You heard God in this prophetic dream, but don't be afraid. God has not changed. He is faithful and still is releasing His grace and power on His people even in a greater way. Stand strong in the Lord and do not be afraid of the things coming upon the earth. Trust in the Lord and stay true to what you have believed. We walk by faith, not by sight and God is able to provide a way for us when there seems to be no way.
