MISSIONARY PREDESTINATIONS
“And now, saith the Lord, that formed me from the womb to be His servant.” Isaiah 49:5
The first thing that happens after we have realized our election to God in Christ Jesus is the destruction of our prejudices and our parochial notions and our patriotisms; we are turned into servants of God’s own purpose. The whole human race was created to glorify God and enjoy Him for ever. Sin has switched the human race on to another tack, but it has not altered God’s purpose in the tiniest degree; and when we are born again we are brought into the realization of God’s great purpose for the human race, viz., I am created for God, He made me. This realization of the election of God is the most joyful realization on earth, and we have to learn to rely on the tremendous creative purpose of God. The first thing God will do with us is to “force through the channels of a single heart” the interests of the whole world. The love of God, the very nature of God, is introduced into us, and the nature of Almighty God is focused in John 3:16 – “God so loved the world. . .”
We have to maintain our soul open to the fact of God’s creative purpose, and not muddle it with our own intentions. If we do, God will have to crush our intentions on one side however much it may hurt. The purpose for which the missionary is created is that he may be God’s servant, one in whom God is glorified. When once we realize that through the salvation of Jesus Christ we are made perfectly fit for God, we shall understand why Jesus Christ is so ruthless in His demands. He demands absolute rectitude from His servants, because He has put into them the very nature of God.
Beware lest you forget God’s purpose for your life.”
AMEN
Amen

Immigrant Vote Sends Five Somali MPs to Riksdag as Sweden’s Election Warns Europe
Five MPs of Somali background have entered Sweden’s new Riksdag after immigrant-heavy districts voted overwhelmingly for the Left bloc, helping decide an election separated by just three seats. The wider significance reaches beyond Sweden: mass immigration and naturalization are reshaping the electorate itself, strengthening calls across Europe for stricter citizenship and voting rules.

Trump should Order to stop exporting gasoline and crude oil, Maybe Oil companies would stop ripping USA Off so they can control midterms, They The oil companies are not YOUR Friends! Mr President!
The United States exports roughly 5.2 to 5.8 million barrels of crude oil and about 900,000 barrels of motor gasoline per day. Daily U.S. Energy ExportsCrude Oil: ~5.2–5.8 million barrels per day (surging due to global supply disruptions).Motor Gasoline: ~900,000 barrels per day (about 10% of domestic production).Total Petroleum Products: ~10.7 million barrels per day (including diesel, jet fuel, and other liquids).https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f4a1.svg Why Exports Matter LocallyGlobal Pricing: Even though the U.S. produces significant crude, prices at local gas stations in Texas and nationwide follow international markets.Supply Balances: High overseas demand pulls domestic supply abroad, which can keep local fuel prices elevated despite high domestic production.
The way I understand it we can’t refine our own oil. That needs to change.
Venezuela closing in on deal to move $4bn gold reserves from Bank of England to New York

JMO.
Venezuela had better triple check the quality of the gold being shipped out of the Bank of England.
Creepy Canadian Mark Carney was the Governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020 and he just might have lowered the gold karat that was being kept for Venezuela.
Canadian Mark Carney can’t be trusted.
Most transfers of gold are on paper.
