Online Ministry Launches Program to Connect Those Affected by Economic Crisis With Those Who Can Help
Owings, MD. -- November 1, 2008 -- In the face of economic crisis and cries for help from those affected by it, an online Christian ministry has launched a new program which offers hope to those who may be losing hope or have lost hope all together due to financial difficulties and homelessness.
With foreclosures and homelessness numbers skyrocketing, the need for a place to connect with others who are ready and willing to help is in desperate need.
This unique venture, which is called Arks of Safe Haven, connects these people via an extensive network and online message board forum, that is moderated personally by five ministers who will have a hand in making these connections happen.
Arks of Safe Haven is intended to provide a Safe Haven for all who enter and answer the prayers of those in need as well as provide spiritual support, comfort and hope in the midst of the Great Tribulation.
Those individuals who have been affected by recent economic downfalls can register on the message board, and connect with others who have also registered and who are able to offer their help and assistance.
Arks of Safe Haven does not charge for their services or accept monetary donations, but instead provides an "Ark of Safe Haven" and encourages acts of kindness towards those in need whether it is providing employment, or shelter in the form of an extra bedroom, unused property or a work for room and board agreement and also tangible items such as food, water, diapers, formula, clothing, & many other personal Items.
Coupled with their primary mission of delivering the Kingdom Message of Salvation, the Light of Life Ministry says that the assistance of Arks of Safe Haven is available to all who are in need, regardless of race, creed, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.
The Arks of Safe Haven Message Board Forum is located at www.arksofsafehaven.org. For information: http://www.arksofsafehaven.com

Isaiah 58:6-8
Isn’t the fast I choose:
To break the chains of wickedness,
To untie the ropes of the yoke,
To set the oppressed free,
And to tear off every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
To bring the poor and homeless into your house,
To clothe the naked when you see him,
And to not ignore your own flesh [and blood]?
Then your light will appear like the dawn,
And your recovery will come quickly.
Your righteousness will go before you,
And the LORD’s glory will be your rear guard.
There has been a lot of talk and news coverage about the national debt, Wall Street, unemployment, government bailouts of big businesses and the downfall of the housing market for several months now. This past week, our ministry received instruction by the authority of Christ Jesus, to do Father’s will in helping the homeless. Specifically, we are to develop a program to help those in the United States that have been deprived of the right to live within society’s boundaries. Many have lost their life savings, homes and are now forced to live in the streets. This is a part of the yoke of oppression that exists not only in the United States but in all parts of this evil world and as the prophetic global monetary collapse comes more and more into fruition, it will only increase.
Last year at exactly this time, I was homeless. Thankfully, I was extremely blessed in that Father provided me a safe haven via my sisters in Christ and I had a roof over my head for those five weeks. While I was extremely fortunate to have had the kindness of others to lean on, I still remember very well the feeling of not having a place to call home. Five weeks is not a long time, but when you’re homeless and without anywhere at all to go, even a single night can feel like an eternity. I recall one particular night, lying in the bed provided me with tears trickling down the sides of my face wondering what in the world I was going to do – where I was going to go or end up and how it was that I’d gotten to this point. While I was thankful and maintaining my faith in Father’s will the best that I knew how, I was also afraid. Looking back on it now and knowing how many individuals and families are going through so much worse, I’m ashamed that I even for a single moment felt the way I did not only because I didn’t have it nearly as bad as others have, but also because I didn’t recognize at the time that the experience would teach me something and prepare me for the mission I would take part in beginning this year.
For many of us though we may not be homeless now, we live on the verge of homelessness with many just a month of paychecks away from losing all we have worked for. Now couple that with the possibility that your job could be lost through no fault of your own but because your company lays you off, or goes out of business all together. Then add in that your mortgage payment may go up and on top of that the growing costs of gas and food. None of us are immune to the possibility and you too, could find yourself in the same situation as these people find themselves in. They are not there by choice or due to a mental condition of some sort or because they simply don’t want to work, they are there because they have no other choice. Any one of us could suffer the same affliction they are from Dawn Lucifer’s beast (the government) that will not offer help to those that have fallen outside of society.
The saddest part of all of this is that there are only so many shelters out there and many are already filled to capacity night after night. This is why we’ve seen an increase in encampments of tent cities popping up across the country. And, when the homeless can’t find a bed, a tent is the next best thing but then around the corner comes the city and forces them to leave because they are on city property or because of various city ordinances - and all of this in cities that claim to be “doing a lot for the homeless”.
Currently billions of dollars are being given by the beast to large corporations going belly up while families are forced out of their homes to suffer in the streets while top executive are accepting million dollar bonuses and resort retreats costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. The money could have just as easily been given to those same families because after all, the money is partially theirs too. It is their tax dollars from labor they performed before financial crisis forced them from their homes. But do they have a voice in the matter? Do any of us? Will the beast bail them out by giving them portions of their hard earned dollars back to them when they need it most? The answer is a simple no. They are too busy literally taking from the poor and giving to the rich. It is sick and it is twisted and it is yet another sign of the end times.
There are some cities that seem to be helping the homeless. There’s a fenced in camp in California that has 140 Coleman tents that is patrolled by a guard, established after it was revealed that “400 people were living in small tents and hardscrabble camps made of tarp and plywood and anything else that hadn’t been nailed down. Now there are portable toilets and showers and sometimes in the evening kind strangers giving them food.” (Source: Inland Valley Daily Bulletin 9/2008) but at the same time, outside the camp is a sign that says, “WARNING: Enter this area at your own risk. Risks include, but are not limited to: Potential Trip Hazards, Hazardous Sharp Materials; Disease; Personal Injury or Death; Physical Assault or Attack; Damage to or Theft of Personal Property. Persons in this Area May Have Criminal Backgrounds, May be Registered Sex Offenders, or May Have Communicable Diseases. The City Has No Duty, Nor Has it Assumed Any Duty, To Provide Any Type of Protection…”
Psalm 91:1-2
The Protection of the Most High
1 The one who lives under the
protection of the Most High
dwells in the shadow of the
Almighty.
2 I will say to the LORD, “My
refuge and my fortress,
my God in whom I trust.”
Protection. It is protection that they need; the kind of protection that only Father can provide. It is love and kindness and compassion that they need. They need to know that they are not forgotten. They need to know there is still reason to hope. The biggest difference between the situation I encountered in being homeless and those who have become homeless recently due to economic reasons, is that I knew in my heart that Father had not abandoned me. What these men, women and children need more than anything is to know that Father has not abandoned them and that their prayers are being heard and there is hope in the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom that is coming soon. What these men, women and children need is to come under the safety and cover of Father’s protection and to know that She guides their every step whether it be across the flatlands or up mountains that may seem to be at first, treacherous and impassible.
I have to admit in all honesty that when our ministry was given instruction on helping the homeless, I felt as if I was standing at the base of Mount Everest, looking up at its enormity and wondering to myself, “I know it will be done, but how in the world are we going to help all these people?” But then in prayer I was reminded of Noah, who built an entire Ark that was to provide a safe haven for his family and many animals. And then I was reminded of Moses, who went up against the Egyptian Pharaoh himself to free the Jews from slavery only to wander, homeless, for 40 years before being guided to the Promised Land. And then I was reminded of the apostles, who after Christ ascended to his Father were left alone with a large task of their own to accomplish. The one thing they all had in common was that Father was guiding them, just as Father is guiding this ministry so I know in my heart that we too will accomplish the task set before us. After all, as brothers and sisters in Christ we are all truly homeless – being not of this world and not yet a part of the world in which Father and Christ exist. My heart is set on fulfilling Father’s will, wherever it may lead and I know that the other ministers within our ministry feel the same. Father works through Her children to fulfill Her will whether they be angelic or human and I know in my heart that Her will, will be done and the prayers of the homeless have been heard and will be answered. They will be given Arks of Safe Haven...the Protection of the Most High.
With all the talk about the extreme crisis that has befallen us with financial bail outs and financial rescue plan’s for the U.S. and many European countries, I thought perhaps I’d write this week about God’s Rescue Plan for Planet Earth.
Psalm 18:27 For you rescue an afflicted people, but you humble those with haughty eyes.
Did you know that there is a rescue plan and that this plan has been set in place for thousands of years? Did you know that our heavenly Father hears your every prayer and will rescue you from any affliction that has befallen you? Did you know that this plan includes the vindication of Her holy name as well as the vindication of those She considers Her children and defense against an ungodly nation and deceitful unjust man? All you have to do is call on Her…and She will be there.
Psalm 43:1 Vindicate me, God, and defend my cause against an ungodly nation; rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man.
Many of us are struggling because it is a time of tribulation. What we are experience literally is, the Great Tribulation spoken of in the scriptures. Families struggle in ways now that many never have before; trying to feed themselves and their children, find work, put gas in the car, pay medical bills, and so many other things. It is a time in which our endurance and our faith will be tested – but there is a rescue plan for all of us already set in place.
Psalm 82:4 Rescue the poor and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.
Though we may feel that we are alone or forgotten or that our government cares only for corporations and big businesses, there is One who cares for each and every one of us. One who calls us Her sons and daughters and who will listen when we go to Her in prayer. Her name is Yahweh, and She is both Mother and Father to us all and She has not forgotten us.
Psalm 22:4 Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted and You rescued them.
Just as She guided the Israelites out from under the hand of slavery by the Egyptians, so to will She guide Her children out from under the oppression of Dawn Lucifer home to Her. She only asks that we have faith in Her and believe in Her son Christ Jesus and that we develop a good heart – a heart that is humble and that accepts Her sovereign laws. We must hold on and endure, practicing faith with every breathe we take and doing our best in following in Christ’s footsteps until the day he returns to rescue his flock.
Psalm 82:4 Rescue the poor and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.
There are no strings attached to this rescue plan and no interest to pay, because the ransom has already been paid by the shedding of Her son’s precious, innocent blood. Her rescue plan does not require water baptism. It does not require a belief in the Trinity. It requires none of what false shepherds have led the masses to believe. There are no deals to make, no hands to shake and no promises to make and nothing to say other than “I repent”, I believe” and “I have faith in You, Father.”
Psalm 107:6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He rescued them from their distress.
We are so blessed to be living in this day and age. A time in which we can see so many things that have been prophesied coming into fruition all around us. We are fortunate in that our wait for God’s Rescue Plan will not be a long one, because the sands of the hourglass are nearly empty and soon we will be carried away. Yes, this is Her plan. To carry us away from the evil and destruction, the trials and tribulations, the worries and anxieties that plague us day by day. And after that, She will create a new heaven and a new earth and there will be peace and prosperity once more.
Psalm 97:10 You who love the LORD, hate evil! He protects the lives of His godly ones; He rescues them from the hand of the wicked.
Hold fast to this truth. This rescue plan for Planet Earth. Hold fast to your faith, your trust and your love for our Father Yahweh who has not abandoned us, who is very much in control, who loves us and who wants to bring us home.
I won’t be voting this year. In fact, I’ve never voted in a presidential election. And, with the 2008 elections around the corner and all our media sources buzzing with information, disinformation, mudslinging, and late night show political jokes, I felt moved to address a very important point in this week’s blog to all of my readers.
There are many passionate supporters of the presidential candidates while many others these days feel that it’s their patriotic duty to vote, so when they choose a candidate, they just need to choose “the lesser of two evils.” It's been said that "the lesser of two evils is still evil", but when it comes to politics I prefer to say that “The lesser of two evils is still the beast.”
While my reasons of the past were mainly simply a sincere dislike for all things political, this year my reason is simply because I refuse to support the Beast in any way, shape or form. In my heart, I feel that any action taken on my part to support the government of the United States is showing allegiance to the beast and my allegiance and integrity lies with Father and Her Holy Family and not with anything of this world – a world of Dawn Lucifer’s making.
Just yesterday I was not surprised to read about the Pulpit Initiative that will take place this Sunday, in which 33 ministers around the country plan to break the law, endorsing presidential candidates during their sermons despite IRS rules prohibiting such endorsements for tax-exempt non-profits. This was conceived by an Arizona-based Christian legal organization – the Alliance Defense Fund – and as I write this, I find it interesting that it’s the “Alliance” Defense Fund because I have to ask myself, and I don’t mean to be facetious at all, but who are they aligning themselves with, Father and Christ, or the beast and Dawn Lucifer?
On the same day, I was saddened and disappointed to read a blog written by a very close friend of mine, who is a devout Christian associated with a non-denominational church. In it she was encouraging everyone to vote and do their part in carrying out God’s plan.
While I’m not surprised that this is what it’s come to, I would like to think that if these 33 pastors knew; if their eyes were open to the truth of who and what the Beast really is, they would not be making this step. That if they and all Christians of our country knew that the United States sold out to stay in power and that Father looked ahead and named them as well as all earthly governments “wild beasts” because they chose Dawn Lucifer over Her, that maybe it would be different. But, it is what it is. It is what it was prophesied to be, and Christ’s Kingdom will remove all power structures on this planet when Dawn Lucifer loses the Spiritual War.
Beasts as symbols of governments as described in the Word represent political kingdoms (governments) that exercise rulership. This is pointed out at Daniel 7:6, 12, 23 “6 While I was watching, another beast appeared. It was like a leopard with four wings of a bird on its back. It had four heads and was given authority to rule. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their authority to rule was removed, but an extension of life was granted to them for a certain period of time. 23 This is what he said: 'The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, different from all the other kingdoms. It will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it.”
And also at Daniel 8:20-22 “20 The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia. 21 The shaggy goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes represents the first king. 22 The four horns that took the place of the shattered horn represent four kingdoms. They will rise from that nation, but without its power.”
Also at Revelation 16:10 “10 The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues from pain”
And Revelation 17:3, 9-12 “So he carried me away in the Spirit to a desert. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names, having seven heads and 10 horns.” 9 "Here is the mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated. 10 They are also seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes, he must remain for a little while. 11 The beast that was and is not, is himself the eighth, yet is of the seven and goes to destruction. 12 The 10 horns you saw are 10 kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they will receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.”
If you consider the cited Scriptures, they reveal that even though these political wild beasts vary in symbolic makeup, they nonetheless have certain characteristics that share a common likeness to one another. Their commonality is that they are all shown as standing in opposition to Father’s rule by Her Son’s Messianic Kingdom over all of creation. They are also depicted as being in opposition to Father’s Holy Ones; those being Her people that She’s established a Covenant with. First, was the Jewish nation and later, the Christian Congregation that divinely spawned forth from Christ’s teachings.
The United States has already taken many of the steps inspired by Dawn Lucifer to phase out religion in place of a belief in science which is designed to make people believe there is no God. It’s been done cautiously, because religion is a dominating factor in many people’s lives, but those who are in power know who Dawn Lucifer is and they do not want to give up this world’s power structure to Christ’s Kingdom. In that, they are fully aligned with the dragon and this is the reason why Father must crush all of this planet’s kingdoms.
“In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not be left to another people. It will crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself endure forever.” Daniel 2:44
Read over the above carefully and you’ll see why the USA is aligned with the Dragon. They want to remain in power. Father says it’s required to “crush” all of these nations. To “crush” means that they don’t give up their power willingly. To “crush” them is to bring them to an end.
Ancient Israel was the only nation Father watched over because it typified Christ’s coming Kingdom – but not anymore. That has been fulfilled in the Word as an example of what is to take place. The past prosperity of the United States did not come from being a nation under God; it came from being aligned with Dawn Lucifer Satan the Devil. Father does not align Herself with nations that are pawns in the Spiritual War that will end their existence. The exception was Ancient Israel that typified the coming Kingdom of Christ and even today, the State of Israel is no longer Father’s chosen people. Those who are are those of the Spiritual Flock, which are made up of people from all nations. They are the ones that will join the Holy Ghosts in making up the heirs of Christ’s Kingdom.
If you choose to believe that by your voting in the presidential election you are supporting God and Country, you're entitled to your free-will choice and if even after reading this you still feel that voting in the presidential election is taking a stand and/or doing your part in Father’s plan – at least first consider who is it that you are prepared to take your stand with because there are really only two options; the beast and Dawn Lucifer or Father and Christ.
