Godless eggheads finally admit it: The healing power of prayer is real

Doctors, drugs and natural medicines can help us recover from sickness and stay healthy. But when it comes to the ultimate healing tool, make no bones about it – the power of prayer is without parallel.

That’s the message we find in the Bible and other holy books. And clergymen have told us the same down through the ages.

Nature's Trust Practitioner's Series Herbs and Supplements

But now, for the first time in history, even medical doctors and self-professed “godless scientists” are singing the praises of prayer, not based on sentimentality or wishful thinking, but on solid clinical research.

Dr. Larry Dossey, of Dallas, Texas, is one of many professionals who have called attention to well-conceived double-blind studies that support the power of prayer as a legitimate and verifiable healing method.

The expert is so impressed – both by the healing miracles he has witnessed and the cold hard science that validates them – that he now lectures on the subject.

“To tell you the truth, the evidence knocks my socks off,” said Dossey.

“You see cases where people have some really terrible diseases. They get no treatment and yet the diseases go away when they are prayed for.

“And sometimes they don’t even know they are being prayed for.”

Mainstream studies have shown that patients of all ages and with all sorts of illnesses – even those that were thought to be terminal  – recover faster and more completely when heartfelt prayer is part of the healing process.

But you don’t have to be on your deathbed to benefit.

You don’t even have to be sick.

It is an established fact that people who pray are healthier and happier than people who don’t.

It’s not like it’s a hard thing to do. Anyone can pray – anytime, anywhere. In a place of worship, you can benefit from prayer with a group. At home alone, in your office, out and about in a natural setting, you can benefit from prayer in solitude.

The only requirement is that you actually take time out of your busy day to do it.

And when you do pray, a miracle of healing - or a miracle of understanding and acceptance - is sure to come into your life.

But don’t take our word for it. Try it and see for yourself.

Doomsday psychics say: Head for the Hills – NOW

CLERGYMEN, scholars, futurists and even ancient prophets agree: The years 2009-2011 will mark the beginning of a cataclysmic end to life as we know it, paving the way for a stunningly different world on January 1, 2012.

Satan's evil image over the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.

“If you think it’s going to be business as usual, if you think anything is going to be like it is today, you’re not only dreaming, you’re wrong,” Derek Clontz, a writer, author, herbalist, futurist and, some have said, although he doesn’t like the label, “psychic,” told a gathering of scholars, journalists and laymen at the second annual “Conference of the Future” in Atlanta, Georgia.

“On a high note,” he continued, “the changes aren’t all going to be bad. But if you aren’t quick on your feet, if you don’t have faith that a Supreme Being or Guiding Force is orchestrating these changes for the benefit of mankind, you are in for a rude and perhaps terrifying shock.

“The world as we have known it is vanishing before our eyes, and one thing is clear: The new world will belong to those who are wise enough and courageous enough to see that changes must come if mankind is to have even a ghost of a chance of surviving to experience the dawn of the Fourth Millennium 1,000 short years from now.”

Derek Clontz

Clontz, who hails from Charlotte, N.C. and now calls Florida’s West Coast home, addressed the group in a spellbinding keynote speech that drew from prophecies and predictions offered up by a diverse group of clergymen, scientists, futurists and even ancient prophets – one of whom scratched his vision of the changes we are facing today on a papyrus scroll 2,300 years before the birth of Christ.

“The most dramatic and frightening of the events to come will be the dissolution of the United States,” Clontz explained.

“I am sure that Americans see just how imperiled the country is, riddled as it is with crime, corruption and even more importantly, the steady decline in morals and values that we are experiencing throughout the Western world.

“What I am not so sure of is whether they have a sense of the depth of the problem, of the extensiveness of the decay.

“I find quite the consensus among a variety of thinkers, most notably from the ranks of clergy, many of whom are convinced that global changes will be preceded by the sudden, total collapse of the U.S. – both as a country and as a force for good in the world.

“I must emphasize,” he continued, “that we aren’t “fortune-telling’- nor are we trying to read God’s mind in an attempt to determine in advance when the end will come. All we’re doing is discussing theobvious signs of change that Providence has chosen to warn us with.

“The future, as always, is formed in the present. Should you wish to ponder the future and prepare for the future, all you have to do is open your eyes and see the future.”

Here are some of the more spectacular predictions Clontz and his colleagues have made for the turn of the Millennium – and beyond. Each item is attributed to the author. A brief biographical statement to identify the author is included where appropriate.

Bible’s Ark of the Covenant found floating in the Atlantic – and 21 MORE PREDICTIONS FROM NOAH’S ARK SCROLLS

BIBLE’S ARK OF THE COVENANT FOUND FLOATING IN THE ATLANTIC – JUST MILES FROM TITANIC

NEW MESSIAH EMPTIES HOSPITAL – BY TURNING CRUTCHES INTO SNAKES

TERROR KING OSAMA BIN LADEN CRUSHED IN BIZARRE CAMEL ‘ROLLOVER’ ACCIDENT

AND MANY MORE

U.S. Army Rangers have discovered the rotting, half-buried remains of Noah’s Ark on Turkey’s Mt. Ararat with 22 electrifying bible prophecies hidden inside.

The find of both the vessel and “Noah’s Scrolls,“ as the predictions are being called, has not only stunned religious scholars, it has commanded the attention of President Barack Obama – who says the prognostications “are too bold, too precise and, at times, too terrifying to ignore in this dangerous age we live in.

I don’t believe in fortune tellers, but prophetic scrolls, especially Bible scrolls found in Noah’s Ark, are a different ball game,“ he told cabinet members, trusted aides and a panel of clergymen who met to discuss the prophecies in the Oval Office.

The vessel and scrolls were discovered by elite U.S. Army Rangers in April in the hold of what has been described as “an unusual wooden ship” that was exposed by flash flooding on Mt. Ararat, which has long been held to be the final resting place of Noah’s ark.

Sophisticated dating techniques indicate the scrolls and vessel are between 8,400 and 10,900 years old, which, according to both Christian and Jewish literalists, is the age in which Noah is believed to have lived.

Rather than rush to announce the discovery, researchers recruited by the Pentagon have been working around the clock to isolate and protect the site from a tourist and media onslaught.

Those experts, flanked by Pentagon brass, are expected to make the official announcement in a news conference scheduled for July 30, inside sources say.

While scientists continue to investigate and secure the site, the scrolls have been jetted to the Rockefeller Museum in East Jerusalem, home of the Dead Sea Scrolls, for continuing study that likely will last for decades.

Translations were privately delivered to key leaders, including President Obama and Pope Benedict. A Vatican source confirms they discussed the scrolls when Obama met with the Pope at the Vatican in early July.

Critics of President George Bush’s policies in the Middle East – which, in some ways, also are Mr. Obama policies – have been quick to suggest that both men may be playing fast and loose with early translations and interpretations to support a continuing war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

On the other hand, they can’t deny that translations leaked to the press do, in fact, mention dead Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein – and terror kingpin Osama bin Laden, who is still on the run – by name.

The reference goes on to call the men “enemies of peace” and says Hussein “will perish first,” and, in fact, he was executed.
Bin Laden, it seems, will suffer a fate far more common in the Middle East – a camel “rollover accident” that breaks his back and crushes his internal organs, the scrolls suggest.

Here are 20 more prophecies that were found on the scrolls:

1. The creation of a time machine by physicists at a major American university will touch off a vicious and damaging turf battle between the FBI and the Office of Homeland Security, both of which feel best qualified to operate the device in the interest of national security.

The issued is settled when 40 FBI agents use the machine to travel two years into the past in an attempt to stop the terror attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, which alters history – and causes the tunnel, and the agents, to vanish.

2. A woman heralded as the “new messiah” will arise in the Holy Land and perform a series of “impossible feats” to prove it, winning hundreds of millions of true-believing Christians to her cause. Like Christ 2,000 years ago, “Crystal” will walk on water, and in an apparent bid to beat Christ at his own game, use a net to scoop up frogs and minnows swimming at her feet.

In yet another show of divine power, Crystal will empty a hospital in Jerusalem of over 500 sick and dying people by magically turning closet full of canes and crutches into a snakes. Having fled the facility in stark terror, all will find themselves healed.

3. The Bible’s coveted Ark of the Covenant miraculously will float to the surface of the North Atlantic, intact, just miles from spot where the Titanic sank. Incredibly, scientists will find a pair of never-before-seen and highly venomous “singing spiders” curled up – alive – inside.

4. Scientists will pick up a chilling radio signal warning of an extraterrestrial strike force making its way to Earth to recover bodies from a UFO that was shot down by a U.S. fighter pilot earlier this year.

It isn’t clear whether the space aliens will seek revenge, although one translator noted that the term “eye for an eye” suggests that they might.

5. A New Age “preacher” who can walk through walls by altering his atomic structure with the power of his mind will teach millions of ordinary people to do the same before he is exposed as a henchman of Satan – plunging his unwitting disciples into madness.

6. In an apparently related development, the discovery of an ancient chant that keeps people young, vibrant and immune to sickness and aging will be considered a godsend until Bible scholars uncover evidence to suggest that it actually a song that the Devil sings in Hell – to keep souls alive so he can torment them for eternity.

7. Atlantis will rises from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Spain with clear evidence that an advanced civilization once thrived on island, including the remains of six

I’VE FALLEN HEELS OVER HEAD FOR MY HUNKY BUNKY DOCTOR

Dear Annie: I’ve fallen head over heels in love with my proctologist and my wife knows all about it because I slipped up and started calling her “Thomas! Thomas! Oh Thomas!” when we were having sex the other night. Now my marriage in deep doo-doo and I don’t know what to do. I love my wife with all my heart, but I love my doctor with all my heart, too. They’re both special to me and I just wish there were something I could do to hold on to the both of them.

MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND THINKS HE’S JOHNNY DEPP

Dear Annie: I’ve been married to a wonderful man for five years. He is an excellent provider, a great husband, a super father and my very, very best friend. I’d have to say he’s pretty much perfect except for this one little thing. About a month ago he started insisting on me calling him “Johnny Depp” during our lovemaking. At first it was humorous and kind of fun to fantasize about getting intimate with Johnny, who just happens to be my favorite movie star. But now Horace, that’s my husband, won’t answer to anything else. I have to call him “Johnny Depp” or “Mr. Depp” all the time, even in public, or he simply ignores me until I do! What do you think, Annie? Does Hor …, I mean, Mr. Depp, need professional help? -- Mrs. Depp in Chicago, Illinois

Dear Mrs. Depp: Sounds like somebody slammed Johnny’s head in a car door, but let’s face it: he’s no crazier than you are for staying with him. The bottom line? Get a divorce and take him for every penny he’s got while he’s still got a job. From the looks of things, he’s headed for la-la land — and time is NOT on your side!

DECEMBER BRIDE IS LEAVING $3.7M TO HER GASBAG KITTY-CAT

Dear Annie: Eight years ago I met a very rich old woman and I don’t care what you think, Annie, I married Mary for love, not money. It’s true that I quit my job driving the fork lift after we tied the knot. But it’s not because I’m gold-digger. I had to quit working because Mary and I like to travel all over the world, and when we aren’t traveling, we like to loaf.

Now I have a problem. Last week when Mary was getting her hair styled I was poking around in her wall safe and I found a sealed envelope with a lawyer’s name on it. Inside was her will. Annie, she’s leaving every penny — $3.6 million — to her stupid cat Rootie-Toot! How can a gasbag cat use all those millions? I’m the one who married the old bat. That money belongs to me!

Dear Cut Off: There’s no way on earth a stink-bomb cat can spend all that cash — especially if pussums has a “terrible accident” before Mary bites the dust. I’m not suggesting that you toss a couple of fish in your trash compactor with the dial set to “auto-start.” But, hey — it’s a thought.

SHOULD I RUN FROM THE LAW WITH MY NO-GOOD BOYFRIEND?

Dear Annie: I’ve been with Bill for almost a year and now he wants me to move out of the state with him. He’s running from the law after skipping bail on an assault charge that the police slapped him with because he beat up his mother. It’s not like he meant to do it. He has a history of hitting people when he’s drunk. He’s hit me in the past, too. But since he quit drinking early this morning, I haven’t felt endangered at all. I really love him, too — I think.

500-foot Jesus photographed over Obama inauguration – grandmother’s picture will astound you

Copyright (c) Derek Clontz/4-page Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

This is the photo the liberal media doesn’t want you to see: a faint but indisputable image of Jesus Christ towering 500 feet over the inauguration of  President Barack Obama in Washington, D.C. on January 20.

And the photographer? A 53-year-old  grandmother of six who just happened to be at the right angle in the right light at the right moment – and snapped the picture with a $125 point-and-shoot digital camera.

“I tried to give it to ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox News but they laughed at me and said nobody wants to see Jesus Christ – they want to see Barack Obama,” said Jerri K., who asked that her last name be kept secret to avoid reprisals and harrassment “from non-Christians and haters who don’t love and worship our Lord Jesus.”

“Mr. Clontz, you’re the only journalist who’s taking this seriously. I hope people appreciate what you do.”

Jerri, of Columbia, S.C., told me she had traveled to Washington, D.C., to “witness the historic moment of an African American being sworn in as president.”

She also is African American, and brought along with her two of her grandchildren.

“We were in the crowd and people were cheering and singing and dancing around when my youngest grandchild started tugging on my coat and screaming at the top of his little lungs, ‘Grandma – it’s Jesus!’ And he was pointing to the sky.

“At first I didn’t see anything, but my grandbaby kept yelling, ‘Take his picture! Take his picture!’

“So I did. For a split second, I could see Jesus through my camera, and then he was gone. I looked around and started asking people, ‘Did you see that?’ Nobody knew what I was talking about.”

Jerri said she showed the image to field producers for ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox News, all of whom were on the ground in D.C., mingling with crowds and shooting film for news shows that aired on the various networks.

“I showed them the picture but they didn’t want it even when I offered it to them for free. A woman from NBC laughed at me. A woman from ABC told me, ‘Nobody came here and stood in this freezing cold to see Jesus in a cloud, they came to see Barack Obama. He’s the man of the hour.’

“The Fox person was nicer – at least he looked at the picture and thought about it. But he didn’t think it really was Jesus. He said it probably is just a reflection on the lens of my camera, or dust or vapor in the atmosphere.

“He said it’s like when people find a Jesus or Mary in a taco shell or on the bark of a tree, it’s something that just happens by coincidence.

“I still think it was Jesus and I praise God for letting me take this picture. I think he came here to tell the world that he will help President Obama make peace in the world and fix this terrible economy for people of every color.”

What do YOU think? Is Jerri right – is the image Jesus? And what about the network producers – do you think it was right of them to make fun of the grandmother and her photograph? Weigh in using the comments box on this page.

Demon escapes from Hell, new proof: The End Times are here

Copyright (c) Derek Clontz/4-Page Media, Inc. All rights reserved. 

A drooling, hissing demon with the face of a lizard and 7-inch fangs escaped from Hell after geologists drilling for soil samples near Casper, Wyoming accidentally opened a “portal” big enough for the monster to squeeze through, an FBI source confirms.

The muscular, 5-foot creature reportedly chased the horrified scientists into a wooded area before returning to the site.

It lingered there just long enough to scream in slurred but understandable English, “I will serve you well, Master Satan,” and then turn over their pickup trucks with its bare hands.

The demon was last seen jogging down a two-lane highway just west of Casper with what eyewitnesses described as a clumsily scrawled ”Will work for food I hungry please help” sign in one hand and a 12-pack of beer in the other.

That would jibe with reports that after leaving the drilling site, the beast made a bum’s rush on a community of homeless people who lived in a makeshift encampment on the outskirts of town.

What worries officials is that the camp, though ransacked, is still there — but the transients are gone.

“We’re hoping they hit the highway when they saw the creature but we can’t rule out the possibility that they met with grievous bodily harm,” says an FBI field agent called in from Denver, Colorado, to investigate the unusual case.

“I wish there was more I could tell you. But at this point, we don’t know whether this thing just looks dangerous or is a real threat. To be on the safe side, we have to assume it’s a killer.

“But all we know for sure is that we’d like to capture or kill it before we find out.”

According to Natrona County sheriff’s deputies, the nightmarish drama unfolded when a team of 16 geologists drilling for soil samples hit “a soft spot” at a depth of approximately 450 feet.

After retracting their drill bit to check the density of soil packed inside its hollow core, they were stunned to hear what they later told investigators were “bloodcurdling screams and cries” coming from the hole.

A split second later, they said, “a gray-green and scaly ‘thing’ with yellow eyes and a lizard face” poked it’s head out of the ground and looked around.

The monster had “7-inch fangs like a sabre-tooth tiger’s” and it “drooled and hissed,” they added.

The geologists also noted that the demon had “large, powerful hands and broad muscular shoulders that enabled it to flip our vehicles like they were toys.”

Authorities say there’s no telling where the creature is headed — or where it will turn up next. And in a move that’s sure to be controversial, they have decided not to “officially warn” citizens to be on the lookout from the subterranean beast.

Instead, they’ll let word “trickle out” from person to person via word of mouth.

“Sometimes you tell people too much and it’s counter-productive,” says the FBI source. “If we go around warning people that a demon is on the loose, it could cause a public panic.”

While officials continue their search for the creature in Wyoming, they admit that it could be anywhere — in any state.

“For all we know it hitched a ride to California on an 18-wheeler or sprouted wings and flew to Washington, D.C.,” says the FBI source.

“When you’re dealing with the supernatural, you have to think outside the box, although it’s probably safe to assume the creature may be posing as a homeless person. He may be begging for food and money using that ‘will work for food’ sign he stole in Casper.

“If you see the demon, whatever you do — don’t try to capture it yourself,” warns the investigator. “Get away as quickly as you can and notify the authorities. If this thing thinks somebody is trying to capture it or kill it, things could get nasty in a hurry. 

“And make no mistake, we do want this thing — dead or alive.”

 

 

  

 

New evidence of UFO’s confirmed in 64 countries – signal of the End Times, or are extraterrestrials coming here to help us?

Copyright (c) 2008 Derek Clontz/4-Page Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

UFO’s have left landing gear imprints, tree damage, radiation, extreme effects on animals and human beings and other physical evidence in 1,987 cases in 64 countries, according to a 10-year study.

FREE GUIDE: 1,700 home remedies for 176 illnesses and afflictions at HerbNews.org

This evidence certainly contradicts the widely held notion that UFO landings rarely occur and that UFO’s are merely ‘lights in the sky,’” Marilyn Tremont-Caine, a scientist who conducted the research for the London-based International Center for Extraterrestrial Studies, told me exclusively.

In one startling case, several people in Uruguay reported seeing a disk-shaped object land, said Tremont-Caine.

A German shepherd got within 20 feet of the object but then the animal remained motionless until the object flared up and disappeared in the sky, leaving behind the imprint of its landing gear and a circular ring-like trace.

“Soil tests at several UFO landing sites indicate that these objects weigh from 8 to 10 tons, and, in some instances, as much as 20 tons,”  Tremont-Caine said.

“I know of UFO cases in which trees up to seven inches in diameter were knocked over or pushed over – yet there were no visible impact marks on the tree itself.

“Occasionally, we get cases in which investigators have used Geiger counters to measure fairly high readings of radiation at these landing sites.”

According to the study nearly half of all sighted UFO’s are observed between 8 p.m. and midnight. UFO’s emit some sort of sound such as humming in 8.4 percent of cases.

More than one third – 37 percent – of the reports involve two or more witnesses, including such people as military officers, policemen, priests, engineers, airline pilots and physics professors.

“The scientific community has almost totally ignored the physical trace reports and UFO sightings in general,” said Tremont-Caine. “Yet, these physical trace cases provide us with the most direct approach to resolving the UFO mystery without question.”

U.S. evangelist raises the dead: is ‘Pastor Matt’ the New Messiah? YOU be the judge

THEY SAY he heals the sick. They say his words bring comfort and hope to the hopeless. They say he has raised the dead.

And now, some even insist that he is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

The soft-spoken, itinerant preacher known only as “Pastor Matthew” has stirred up a controversy in Christian communities throughout the Southeast, where hundreds of true believers say that all signs point to the possibility that he is, in fact, the Savior - sent by God to save souls before these tumultuous and terrible times we live in end suddenly … on Judgment Day.

It’s not just laymen who think Pastor Matthew is something special. Respected clergymen are listening, too, with some telling their congregations that the preacher is either … Full Story at derekclontz.com
