TRUE HOPE TIMES
Presenting The Lord Jesus Christ!

Dear Subscriber,
Well, we are now back from Houston (along with a few days of much needed R & R.)
A great big THANK YOU to those of you who made it possible to attend the Ministry Alliance's conference! It was awesome!
The messages brought forth were a mighty confirmation of what True Hope has been declaring for now 3 years in that the time is now upon us for a powerful time of awakening (re-awakening) in God's House and the time is now upon us that He is judging and will be judging His own house in preparation for His ultimate dealing with the world that rejects Him!
The "awakening" involves four areas of development in the personal lives of each of God's children ... Consecration; Separation; Reclamation and Restoration. All of these have to do with the people of God becoming the RIGHTEOUS people of God!
The time for "rah, rah" Christianity is far past and the time for REAL righteousness within each of us is at hand!
Imagine what God can do with such a people! Well, actually, imagination can only hint at what God will do with a separated, consecrated, restored and reclaimed people!
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think (can imagine), according to the power that worketh in us,
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
As always, be richly blessed in Christ Jesus!
Dr. Timothy

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV)
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. |

CHOOSE TO BE DIFFERENT!
In the fall of 2008 I was ministering to a meeting of saints in Pennsylvania with a prophetic message regarding Luke 21 that we are in the time that we who are God's children should be "looking up" while guarding ourselves from getting overwhelmed by the affairs and concerns of this life.
The real emphasis of that particular message however was not just that we are living in the end days of the church age, but that because we are in the end days of the church age we who are God's children must make choices that many perhaps have not previously been confronted with.
That day I saw and presented to that group more pointedly than ever before this message: Choose to be different - - not just from the world - - but we must now choose to be different from the typical church because the typical church has become such a mirror image of the world we are supposed to be changing!
In that day's meeting, everyone was dressed very casually, God had me to get dressed in a full "Sunday Go To Meeting" dress suit! Not because there is anything wrong with dressing informally to worship, but to illustrate the challenge of the message I was giving: Are you willing to be different from the church around you?
Not showing yourself different in order to judge the church - - for that's God's domain, but judging what is right and not right according to God's Word and personally following that when the church around you is following what is socially and politically correct or desirable! Being different in a manner that God can use to bring conviction into the hearts of others who are embracing the world rather than embracing God's Word!
While we are choosing to be different, we must also be diligent to be different AND we must choose to be openly different without pointing fingers at the flaws in the lives of others! After all, finger pointing is one of the things that God is trying to eliminate from the Church!
Choose to be different. Be diligent to be different and speak to those THINGS that need to be changed. What about other of God's people who are resisting the changes God is requiring? YOU be obedient and also be spiritual!
Galatians 6:1-2
2 Timothy 2:24-26 Show the differences in your life as an example to other of God's children around you to be an encouragement to make the changes that God is dealing with them about! And finally, be ready to give an answer to those who ask you the reasons for your changes!
From my heart to yours!
Many
Blessings!
Dr.
Timothy

Prophet's Corner
Current News & Events With Prophetic Impact
| FOREWORD:
When we read articles related to prophecy, especially those that are of an impending danger focus, we must not see these in a negative light but we should respond in two ways: First, rejoice for our redemption is ever closer, or as Jesus said in Luke, "Look up ..."; Second, intensify our efforts as the witnesses of and for Christ Jesus our Lord! The final harvest is approaching and we owe it to those touched by our lives to tell them of God's offer of love to escape the wrath to come! Dr. Timothy

THE 5 KEYS TO DISCERNMENT
Some people say that knowing Scripture is the only real key to
discernment that we need. And yes – Scripture is very important –
especially in exposing false doctrine. But it is not only doctrines or
teachings that are the greatest danger today. It is just as likely to be
false ‘anointings’ or spirits – perhaps even “lying signs and wonders”.
And we may need more than just a good understanding of Scripture to
spot these things. Remember, a lot of the people caught up in the
“manifestations mania” that we described in the last chapter actually
know their Bible quite well. And yet they could still be deceived. So
what are the things that can help us avoid deception in similar
situations?
Some of the most basic keys to discernment that God has shown me are as follows:
(1) Know your HOLY GOD intimately. (When you have seen His glory, His
holiness and His love – by drawing close to Him in prayer – then you can
usually see through any counterfeits because you know the “real thing”
so well).
(2) Know your Bible. It is very important to be able to spot teachings
that are either extra-biblical or directly opposed to what the
Scriptures teach. However, it is important to remember that the Scribes
and Pharisees were extrememly learned in the Scriptures and yet they
missed the very Messiah that was prophesied! So knowing the Bible is
important – especially for doctrinal issues – but we need to be able to
“discern the spirits” also.
(3) Be a “lover of truth”. This is very crucial. Are you someone who
will actually stand up for Truth – even against the crowd? Or do you
remain silent even when you are convinced something is very wrong?
(4) Purity of heart and Humility. Many deceptions only appeal to us
because there is something inside us that “wants” to believe them. They
are seductive because of darkness and wrong motives in our own lives. We
must search our hearts and root these out.
(5) The ‘inner witness’ of the Holy Spirit. We must learn to never
over-ride this “still small voice”, as it will save us from deception
again and again. (More on this below). Did you know that even an unbeliever can often spot a con-man or a
snake-oil salesman? They get a kind-of “gut feeling” about such things.
And they are often right! In fact, they are often less gullible than the
Christians! (Because we are told in the church- “Do not judge”, ‘Touch
not the Lord’s anointed’, “You have a critical spirit if you do not join
in”, etc, etc. This is the very reason why Christians are often the
most gullible and easily deceived). We need to realize that the Bible
says to “test the spirits” and warns very strongly that the Last Days
will be a time of “seducing spirits” and great deception. So how can we
become more alert to these things?

All children to be registered in national biometric records
http://www.wnd.com/Below the radar of
public opinion, Mexico has started to assemble the type of biometric
national identity database that could be used to document names for a
North American Trusted Traveler border pass card, a plan already being
developed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for Mexican
citizens.
It apparently would be similar to the program that has become
commonplace in the European Union to allow free transit for EU citizens
to move, live and work wherever they choose within the EU, disregarding
nation-of-origin and national border restrictions.
On Jan. 19, 2011, Mexico's President Felipe Calderon signed an executive
order requiring within the next five years all Mexicans 17 years old
and younger have a biometric national identity card that would include a
facial photograph, all 10 fingerprints, and an iris scan.
To carry out the presidential executive order, the Mexican Directorate
General of the National Population Register plans to go to all
elementary schools in Mexico schools in Mexico to record the required
biometric information and issue individual identity cards.
The Mexican National Institute of Geography and Statistics estimates
that in 2005, there were 10.5 million Mexicans between 5 and 9 years
old, 11 million between 10 and 14 years old, and 10 million between 15
and 19 years old.
Reasonable estimates are that by the end of 2012, Mexico plans to issue
more than 25.7 million biometric identity cards to the nation's children
18 years old and younger.
While promoted as a way to prevent crimes such as identity theft, Mexico
has decided to begin with the nation's school children to create the
type of biometric national identity database that will allow Mexican
children as they grow up to already possess the biometric information
they will need to obtain North American Trusted Traveler border pass
cards the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is preparing to issue to
Mexican citizens.
Once the nation's children are recorded in this biometric national
identity database, the plan is to add a second phase that will extend
the biometric identification cards to Mexican adults, with a third phase
designed to establish a national registry for all foreigners residing
in Mexico.
The new Mexican Personal Identity Card includes a security hologram to
prevent duplication or the creation of fraudulent cards; iris scan
information embedded in a bar code on the reverse of the card; various
biometric information included invisibly in the card, including all 10
digits in fingerprints.

BUILDING HOPE
| HOPE . . .
Confident Expectation
Hope that is seen is not hope, for why would you still hope for what has already become reality?
VANITY & CONFUSION - -
THE ENEMIES OF HOPE
Ephes. 4:17
[KJV]
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
[NASB]
This I say therefore, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,
[NIV]
So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
[NKJV]
This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,
[NLT]
With the Lord's authority let me say this: Live no longer as the ungodly do, for they are hopelessly confused.
THE WORD MEANS...
Futility, vanity; emptiness; frustration; to be hopelessly confused; to be empty, futile, senseless, aimless, unsuccessful, worthless.
Practical Application
When men push God out of their minds, their minds are void and empty of God, of His truth and morality.
God is not in their thoughts. Their minds are ready to be filled with some other god or supremacy, that is, with the things of the world:
- worldly pleasures
- worldly possessions
- worldly power
- worldly position
- worldly religions
- worldly ideas
- worldly honor
- worldly gods
From: Practical Word Studies in The New Testament. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In 2008 The Lord directed us to change the name of our ministry to True Hope because we have and offer to the lives of all people the ONLY SOURCE for hope that is true ... The Lord Jesus Christ!
