Life and Death

Life and death come to us all in different ways.  Sometimes it's traumatic, sometimes it's expected (death that is). 

Over the past year I've had my beloved mother, granddaughter pass away as well as 3 of my friends, the most recent one being so close he was like a brother to me.  Yes at times we had a spat as most brothers do yet we always knew that one would be there for the other.  Death seems so evil at times and it comes upon us like a thief in the night.  One minute you're here, the next you're gone. 

I found my mother dead in her bath tub.  I did what I could to revive her (I had extensive CPR training while being an SP in the USAF) but it was all to no avail.  By the time the Paramedics got there they informed me that she was gone and probably had been for a couple days.  Then after that I lost Christiana (my grand baby) Randy, Chad and finally my friend/brother Rob. 

Proverbs 27:1 sums it up pretty well.  "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring."

There are many other Bible verses that state the same thing.  I could be gone tomorrow and so could you or anyone you love.  We are not guaranteed any specific time on this earth by God.  We're supposed to make the most of what we have.  With my granddaughter what could she do?  She was five months old yet she brought joy, smiles and brightness into our lives.  As for my friends/brothers in arms Rob AND his family and I were one.  They included me in family dinners and so much more, they showed me love no matter what I was going through at the time. 

Cherish the time you have here on this plane.  Always give thanks to God for another day.  Why?  Because it's another day you have a chance to make a difference in someone else's life!  I almost gave up blogging and my radio shows because I thought "God is it making a difference ?  Are my shows relevant?"  He told me via the Holy Spirit that even if we wake one person a week up it's worth it as it's a victory for the kingdom of God.  I have a heavy burden upon me being a watchman (Ezekiel 33:6) and it has been a calling I've tried to run from many times over.  Yet I can't and won't have the blood of those who haven't heard God's warnings not only for the USA but worldwide.  If you read Ezekiel 33:6 you'll understand the calling that's been placed upon me.  God knows I didn't want it or ask for it, yet it's what I have to do or else type of thing.  I can't drink or smoke it away even though I've tried (especially after my mother's death) so I'm stuck with it so to speak.  So even though death has surrounded me this past year I have to soldier on. 

So praise God for everyday you take a breath and live on.  Give thanks and take on whatever project/mission God has blessed you with.  I can't give up and neither can you if you search your heart and soul. 

When Rob's son called me today with the news that his father was gone I cried out to God asking "WTF?"  "First my granddaughter and now this too in one week?"  "WTF do you want from me?  I can't keep going on this way!"  It wasn't until I calmed down that I realized that I need to keep doing what I'm doing until God calls me home.  Once again we don't know what day or time that will be but as  the scripture says "Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord".  2 Corinthians 5:8.

As much as it hurts to have those you love and cherish to depart from you in death, realize that they have a new life.  That is a promise from God Almighty Himself and as God cannot lie we should take comfort in His word. 

Yes I cussed and swore against what God took from me this week.  It wasn't easy and life isn't fair.  Yet I finally realized that instead of being angry with God (as I was when my mother passed) we need to think of our loved ones being with Him in a much better place. 

So while we celebrate life and we mourn in death we should always remember God is sovereign and we will all see our loved ones again.  I firmly believe that my granddaughter is being held by my mother in heaven and that my best friend Rob is tickling her cheeks.  God bless you all and pray for the family's (mine and Rob 's) who have been affected by these tragedies.  God bless and good night. 

Taking a Break

After this week I'll be signing off the airwaves for a bit to focus on my faith, family and other issues that I need to handle. 

It's been almost two years ago now that I started The Johnny Storm Show and about 6 months since I joined forces with Bob Brutus and together we started "Waking up the Masses".  Kudos to Bob for all the help he's given me and I'm grateful to have met him.  Bob and I will always remain friends and I'm sure we'll be back on the air together from time to time. 

I also want to thank all the guests that have appeared on my shows.  I've made some solid friends through all of this and for that I thank God. 

One thing I will be focusing on is rededicating myself to studying scripture, prayer and following the path the Holy Spirit directs me to travel.  I will also be working on a book about my life and experiences, something many have told me to do and something I've been putting off.  My hope is that through the book others can learn from some of those experiences I've had both good and bad.  I will dedicate the book to my late mother Marion who passed away 6 months ago.  Not a day goes by that I don't miss her terribly. 

This isn't goodbye forever, it's just goodbye for now.  As I've discussed with my partner Bob Brutus I need a break.  I may have come back too soon after my mother's death but none the less I need a break, especially to renew my spiritual life and thereby get some much needed guidance from God/Yahovah. 

This coming week I will have Pastor Chuck Baldwin on as well as some others if time permits.  Thanks again to all of the listeners and supporters of the show and I will be back God willing. 

Sincerely,

Johnny Storm

Hypocricy at its Finest

 

 

The modern day churches are full of it, the new age is full of it, pretty much everyone you talk to today is full of it or themselves.  People don't really change much, however times do change. 

The Roman Empire destroyed itself from within, just go read some good history books.  How you might ask?  They ran up huge deficits, expanded their empire far too large (to the point where it became two empires) until (too late) Constantine decided to finally accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. 

Now we have so many so called "Christians" trying to save us all.  From Steve Quayle to Jack Van Impe they are all trying to save us from ourselves.  Don't they all realize what Jesus Christ said when he told us all "  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."  Luke 21:28? 

Jesus Christ didn't want us to fear what is coming, He wanted us to keep living for Him and to keep working, farming, running your business etc until he comes again.  Yes there are wars and rumors of wars.  Yes there are pestilences, disease, earthquakes worldwide just has Jesus Christ predicted.  Yet were not all these things in place back during WW1, WW2 and even before that? 

Does President Obama want to take away most of our guns?  Yes he does.  Can he accomplish this with so many Americans armed to the teeth?  Doubtful.  Yes he will disarm some in the big cities of this once great country but he will NEVER disarm the majority, not without a new civil war.  So what are you so worried about?  Am I saying to NOT take a stand and write your Senators, Congressmen, local Sheriffs, etc?  No I'm not.  One must take a stand on some of these issues yet we seem to be forgetting one thing.  We MUST trust in Jesus Christ and HIS plan for our lives FIRST AND FOREMOST!  To turn all our attention to Obama and his cronies is a big mistake. 

To sum up what I'm trying to say is this, in ONE Bible verse so pay attention. 

³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  Matthew 6:33! 

Oh that's right, you've been so caught up in the NRA, GOA, NBA, NFL, MLB that you FORGOT to seek God and Jesus Christ first!  In the end it doesn't matter who writes the best pro gun legislation, who wins the Super Bowl (although it was a good game this year) or who wins the world series.  What matters is how you let Jesus Christ work through YOUR LIFE! 

So in conclusion defend your FAITH in Jesus Christ (Yeshua the Messiah) first, family second and everything else can and will take care of itself.

Speak NOW or Hold Your Peace



I hate to say I told you so but I did tell you so.  Joe Biden and Obama have both said that they will come out with some kind of executive order that will ban at least some guns if not all guns.  If Senator Feinstein gets her way we will have an outright ban on all firearms but I'm sure she will exempt herself and other members of the senate and the house.  The Senator has a concealed weapons permit you see but she can claim she needs a gun because her life is more important than yours.  She is a Senator after all right?  Wrong.  What she and other government officials have forgotten long ago is the fact that they work for us, not the other way around.  Of course we wouldn't have the level of violence that we do without anti depressant drugs, no mention of God in public, no fear of God and no morals.  Everything today is just shades of gray, there is no right or wrong anymore. 

Of course the government needs to take our guns either voluntarily or by force because they can't implement their New World Order if we're still armed.  This is why we have the 2nd amendment folks, to protect us from tyranny as experienced under the British all the way to Nazi Germany.  If you go back and read Hitler's gun control act it's almost word for word the same as ours that was written into law back in 1968.  Yet if you talk to people on the street, especially in the big cities most people will tell you the 2nd amendment is about hunting. 

Now let's tackle the so called assault weapon being the culprit in all these shootings.  Only about 2% of gun related murders or shootings are done with assault weapons.  This is according to the 2011 FBI statistics.  Demonizing any kind of gun is just plain wrong.  Studies have shown that the primary culprit are the anti depressant drugs which have labels and disclaimers stating that suicidal thoughts and aggressive tendencies are probable side effects.  Even the stop smoking pill Chantix has been proven to have similar side effects.  Our children are being drugged at much younger ages than ever before and kids aren't allowed to be kids anymore.  If a child is acting up there is usually something else wrong or they want your attention.  Sometimes kids just act up period!  That's life and before the new religion of psychiatry came along parents rolled out the paddle or belts and made your butt a bit red.  If you swore you got a bar of soap in your mouth.  Not anymore.  Today kids are taught at a young age to turn their parents in to the police or social services if they are spanked.  Thanks to Dr. Spock and the books he wrote in the late 60's and 70's we have children growing up thinking that every problem they have stems from their childhood.  Or they end up blaming everyone else for their problems instead of looking in the mirror and taking responsibility for their own actions. 

So is it any wonder that we have school shootings today?  These children and young adults who allegedly committed these crimes were all on these dangerous mind altering drugs.  My own son was on a very powerful drug and it was hard to get him off of it once I had custody of him.  It was essentially synthetic cocaine and sells on the street for big money.  I remember the pharmacist sending me back to the doctor to get a new script because she needed to be able to read his signature.  My sons real problem was the fact he was seeing and hearing demons and he needed to be delivered.  Once that was done by my pastor and I he was fine and we were able to wean him off that drug.  Our kids are being force fed these pills and then they get home and play super violent video games.  The game isn't cool unless you can slit a throat or shoot innocent victims if you choose the bad guy character. 

Last but not least is God.  There is no fear of God in our nation anymore and now we're paying the price for that.  The atheists won major battles when they removed prayer and the Bible from the schools.  God has been removed from all facets of our lives today.  You can't work for certain retailers if you say "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays".  Saying the word Christmas means you are mentioning Christ and that's a sin in today's society.  You can worship Allah all you want but don't mention God or Jesus.  Look folks, even if you choose not to believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior the 10 commandments are pretty good rules to live by.  If we abided by them today we would have a pretty nice world to live in.   But man is a sinful creature unless he or she is born again in the spirit, so removing God helped remove our conscience.  As Steve Quayle is so fond of saying "there is no political solution to a spiritual problem".   New gun laws won't keep guns out of homicidal maniacs hands.  As I mentioned earlier in the column I've dealt with demons first hand and IF this latest shooting went down the way they said the only logical explanation is demon possession.  Once again you can be an atheist if you want, but that doesn't make you want to commit mass murder does it?  No Satan himself has his hands in all of this and he knows the only way he can come to power here on earth is to steal, kill and destroy enough people so that we give away our freedom and liberty.  Satan's greatest deception to date is to get people to believe he doesn't exist.  This is why very few churches talk about the spiritual war we're in and that explains why the churches are testicle free zones today.  The pastors don't dare talk about the devil, hell, spiritual warfare as it would turn people off and their coffers wouldn't fill up.   Yet our kids aren't taught real morals in church anymore.  Now it's all about youth groups and summer camp if the child goes to church at all.  To sum up this part of the blog Satan is at work because he knows his time is short.  He wants to kill as many of God's children as he can before he gets tossed into the lake of fire.  Deep down he knows he can't defeat the Creator so he goes after the creation which means us.  Satan knows that in order for us to give up our guns and right to defend ourselves he has to do something horrible and shocking which is what he has done by murdering children.  In my opinion there is no other way that these shootings could have happened without Satan being at work in all of it. 

To sum this all up I'll make it short and sweet.  Guns don't eat, sleep or drink coffee.  They don't wake up one morning and say "hmm lets go kill a bunch of kids today".  Knives, clubs, crowbars and shovels don't think or reason either yet they kill more people per year than guns do.   If you don't draw your line in the sand now and blast your congressman and senators with emails, faxes and phone calls telling them to leave us law abiding citizens alone then you will stand alone.  If you give up your right to self defense then you deserve slavery and eventually death.  This is the major battleground here folks.  If we don't stand now in the millions and say NO MORE we will lose all of our rights and freedoms.  Even if it's just assault rifles where does it end?  If you let them get away with this massive gun grab they will come after your homes or something else next.  Remember the saying if you give them an inch they will take a mile?  The government takes 1,000 miles if you give them anything!  STAND UP and WAKE UP!  The toast is burnt and the coffee is getting cold.  Speak up now or forever hold your peace. 

FEAR NOT!

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.  Isaiah 41:10. 

Fear not.  Those have to be the two most important words in the Bible for today.  We have awful headlines all around us these days, some are real some are not.  As true followers of Jesus Christ we have to determine what's real and what's not by testing the spirits.  We have to weigh through the Holy Spirit what we need to concern ourselves with and what we don't.  Remember God is sovereign and He is always in control over what happens on this earth.  While Satan still is the prince of the earth he can only do what God allows him to do. 

The world as we know it is changing rapidly.  Everyday there is always bad news around the corner.  We as believers and followers of Jesus Christ are being persecuted more and more every day.  Jesus predicted this during His ministry here the first time around by saying the following:

18"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.20Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.21They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me.22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.23He who hates me hates my Father as well.24If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason.  John 15: 18-25

Doing the will of God for your life isn't easy, in fact it can be very difficult at times.  The farther along this show moves forward the more persecution I face.  The sad part of that is the fact that it is so called "Christians" who criticize me the most.  I don't do this show to be divisive yet Jesus said that the word would divide even families.  We can't let this criticism and persecution deter us from doing what God calls us to do.  Jesus said that many are called but few are chosen.  If you are chosen it means that you are willing to lay down your life if need be for the gospels sake.  At some point in the future the Bible says we'll have to make a choice.  Either we take the number of the Beast and worship him and the worlds system or we stand fast and stand on the words of Jesus Christ.  We either stand fast or we fold, there won't be any middle ground. 

Pray that God gives you the strength to stand when it becomes very hard to stand.  Get yourself in a solid study group and like minded believers who will stand with you no matter what.  Fellowship is what getting together in groups is all about, to encourage one another, to confess our short comings to one another, to lift each other up in times of testing.  Remember that we are always in spiritual war (see Ephesians 6:12) and that Satan is always on the prowl seeking whom he may devour.  By standing together we can overcome just as Jesus Christ overcame the world for our sake.  His sacrifice on the cross for our sins make us all over comers if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior!   You can make a difference, you can help change the world around you by believing on HIM!  No matter who is President Jesus Christ is KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS! 

Great Books for a Small Donation!

Hello folks!  I'm doing a book giveaway to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy.  For a donation of $50.00 or more I will send you one of these two books from my personal library.  This will be a first come first serve deal on the books.  Here is a link to one of them:  http://www.amazon.com/The-Illuminati-Fiction-Mark-Dice/dp/0967346657/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352448785&sr=8-1&keywords=mark+dice

The book listed above is by Mark Dice and is called "The Illuminati Facts and Fiction".  I got this straight from Mr. Dice and it is autographed by him!  While I don't agree with all of it, it's a great place to start when tying to learn about your enemy called The Illuminati.  Click the above link to get a preview of the book. 

The other book I'm giving away for a $50.00 donation for Hurricane Sandy relief is China Cry, The Nora Lam Story.  You can see the description/preview here: http://www.amazon.com/China-Cry-Nora-Lam-Story/dp/0849928982/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1352449433&sr=1-2&keywords=china+cry

Why donate $50.00 for a book you can buy for $10.00 on Amazon?  Good question.  I'm just trying to help get funds down to the victims of that massive storm.  This way you get something in return besides the blessings you'll get for giving to those believers who are in trouble.  Of course you can just donate if you like, but the donations I get for this purpose will go through www.trunews.com as Rick Wiles has direct connections to born again believer organizations who will use the funds FOR THE PEOPLE, not to pay for their bloated salaries.  Some organizations have such huge overhead the money you give doesnt' always get to where it should.

Help out our fellow believers and be blessed.  I don't get a dime for doing this from any links in this blog.  I'm not saying this is a great idea, it's just an idea to help get funds to where they need to go.  Plus both of these books can help you learn more about the Lord AND His/our enemy Lucifer.  You can't fight the enemy unless you know how he operates.  You can also go straight to trunews.com and donate directly as well.   Remember this scripture as you consider this question " Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."Luke 6:38.  Let's get in agreement and pray for and donate to the victims of Hurricane Sandy.  To donate through my site go to www.thejohnnystormshow.net.  The donate button is on the front page.  Thank you and God bless. 

Oh by the way there is no tax or shipping costs for the books if you decide to donate via my site.  I will even show you the paypal receipts that will show where the funds go.  Thanks again! 

The America we Knew is Gone

November 8th, 2012

 

I hate to say this but yesterday America died.  Officially what used to be the United States has ceased to be a nation as we knew her.  Therefore this show and my website will be changing.  In my spirit and my heart I know this country as a whole has changed and it has changed forever. 

I wish I had listened to the call of Yahovah earlier when maybe I could have made more of an impact as a watchman.  By the time my show switched gears from the liberty movement to the watchman type ministry America was already gone.  I really woke up when my state of North Dakota voted for Santorum in the primary.  Even though 90% of the people attending were supporting Ron Paul somehow Santorum (who had a handful of people on the ground) won our primary.   It was right after that that this show changed.  From that point forward I started talking about end time events that I felt happening all around us.  It was also by getting guidance from whom I consider a great man of Yahovah, Carl Swenson told me that my calling was not politics, but that of a watchman and end times evangelist and leader.  Carl Swenson knew things about me that he could learn either one of two ways.  Either I told him (which I did not) or via the Holy Spirit.  It floored me about how much he knew about my life and what God wanted me to do next.  So I took a giant leap of faith and started being a watchman and the show exploded.  But it expanded because of me being faithful to God's calling on my life and through His power.  John 15: 5 says it all.  "I am the vine and you are the branches.  If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."  So you see without God's power and the Holy Spirit's power I couldn't have withstood the constant scorn, ridicule and false accusations against me.  I would have been the seed that was thrown on stony ground.  It shoots up fast and then withers fast because Satan comes to steal the word from us.  A little persecution happens and those people fade away fast.  I have stood my ground despite all the snickering and self righteous so called Christians who have been my worst enemy.  Not even Satan himself has attacked me as much as the so called Christians have done. 

I haven't done much evangelizing during my time as a talk show host.  My task was to warn the people of what was coming and what IS coming.  I have done that to the best of my ability.  As I said I wish I had started this earlier, but I can't change the past, I can only move forward as Yahovah (God) directs me to do.  America was doomed before I got started.  One glaring fact of this show is the fact that I have many more overseas subscribers/followers than I do here in America.  The people have been coming from Pakistan, Turkey, Indonesia, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Iran (yes Iran where a Christian remnant is under constant persecution) and many other countries.  Not everyone lists their locations when they click the follow button on the show.  Some probably don't dare as they live in places like communist China.  There you can still be tortured and thrown into prison for following Jesus Christ, Yeshua the Messiah.  There is a burning hunger in those who listen to this show and others like it.  They want answers to the massive problems we see all around us and the people overseas aren't nearly as dumbed down as we Americans are.  They see things in a different light because they haven't been as spoiled and coddled as Americans have been.  America has become fat and lazy (I can be as lazy as anyone, yet I've been compelled to do well over 300 shows in the past year) and I will continue to do them.  But changes they are coming as a song says and what they will be at this point I'm not completely sure.  I just know that the time has come to unite as believers.  I'm not saying that we go join up with the Joel Osteen crowd and become lovers of self and this world, I'm saying just the opposite.  We need to unite as fellow believers and learn that the power of prayer and submission to God the Father is the ultimate answer.  We need to listen to His divine guidance via the Holy Spirit and come OUT of this world and not be concerned with big houses, fancy cars and other false idols. 

Yes I'm moving with my wife Lisa and we're getting a better place to live in a small rural community.  Communities like that tend to rally around one another in times of trouble.  Minister Carl Swenson told me this morning over coffee that my ministry would be changing yet again and that in 3 months time I wouldn't recognize it.  This is the 2nd time he has told me that and since it came to pass last time I have no reason to doubt him this time.  You see last night after it became clear that Obama was going to win a 2nd term the Holy Spirit told Carl "it's over".  Now this once great nation will face judgment and wrath.  You see this new place that Yahovah is bringing us to will be a place where like minded believers in Yeshua the Messiah will gather at our house.  We will form a remnant and stand together in the face of the massive persecutions that are coming.  We will stand together and pray against the evil that is coming.  We will stand together not as Americans first, but as believers in the Messiah first.  Don't get me wrong, I love this country.  I served this country for five years and I'm proud of that service.  But now I serve in the Messiah's army and we WILL STAND!  Whether I die in battle against the coming NWO or I'm hauled off to get beheaded I will stand.  Death to me is nothing more than a gateway to the Messiah.  If I die in His service then I will be in heaven with Him ready to return with Him at the second coming.  "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord".  2nd Corinthians 5:8.  I know that is where my mother is who passed away almost 2 months ago now.  She was a woman of super strong faith even though her legs didn't want to walk like they used to. 

I will continue to do this show until Yahovah tells me to stop. The shows will focus on being spiritually, physically and mentally ready for what is coming.  There is no more time for games or arguments.  If you want to argue with someone then go to a politics page on face book.  I am simply refusing to get into those useless discussions.  By the way I was angry in part of my morning broadcast today.  It was righteous anger.  Some of the stupidest comments were being made like "love the homosexuals because God loves them too" and "I'm tired of so called Christians judging others and being mean" etc.  God loves all of His people including homosexuals, murderers, adulterers, etc.  But they MUST repent and leave the sin behind them.  God cannot and will not overlook it.  As many have said before, God loves the sinner but hates the sin.  If those people don't repent and ask to be forgiven their fate is sealed.  It's all over the bible but most refuse to listen.  That is why we now have a foreign born ruler in the white house.  If you see a brother or sister in Christ sinning you pull them aside and try to help correct them gently.  If they refuse to repent then you pray 1 Corinthians 5:5 over them.  It simply says you turn their bodies over to Satan for destruction so that their souls may be saved.  Sounds too brutal you say?  What's more brutal, letting their bodies die so that they may have eternal life before they pass away or letting them slide into hell for all eternity? 

So this ministry is changing, I can feel it in my spirit and I had it confirmed last night and today.  No I won't be preaching on soap boxes on city street corners, but I will be helping others to stand with me and fight for Jesus Christ through prayer.  Together we will get into agreement and pray that we can reach others.  Not just in our local community but through this show as well.  Pray that Yahovah the Father sends you the Holy Spirit to help guide you into all truth.  Judgment and wrath are coming to America as well as other places.  But America will suffer greatly not because of Obama, but because the people won't accept Him any longer and turn to material things, mainly the LOVE of money.  Having money is fine as long as you give when God says give.  Just because you have a nice house doesn't mean you worship that which is created.  Thank God for what you have and ask Him what you can do to serve Him more and more.  Be ready to share not only your cloak but your joy in the Lord as well.  I will continue to warn God's people of the coming judgments, but one day in the near future He may tell me to be still.  When that happens you will have been thoroughly warned and your blood will NOT be on my head.  Don't be like those listed in Revelations 21;8 or in Proverbs 1 starting at verse 22.  Choose today whom you will serve.
