In reference to my previous post on students from public schools being so far behind, once they come to our school, here it is. First of all, many students do not get the one-on-one attention from their teachers so that they can “get it.” I know want to ask why aren’t they placed in “Resource” or “special ed.” Many more students have special needs but the system will not permit classifying students with a handicap because funding is low and they feel like they cannot waste money on these students.

We know about the “dumbing down” of the curricula nation wide through the “School-to-work” program which was implemented several years ago. You have never heard about the school-to-work program? It equates school-to-work with school-for-work–that is, education and training programs in which preparation for work is explicitly a major purpose. Basically, the baccalaureate and advanced degree programs are not discussed here. The focus is on work-preparation programs that serve students in high schools or non-baccalaureate postsecondary institutions or out-of-school youth.

A key element of many, though not all, school-to-work programs is that they combine school and work during the same period of time. This may mean some hours of work each day, some days of work during the week, or some weeks working during the year. Combining school and work serves two purposes. First, it helps young people learn skills and knowledge to qualify for a full-time job in the near future. Second, it gives them the experience of using work to foster their own learning and thus contributes to their capacity for change and continued growth in the longer run.

Now what about the curricula for this program? It is not up to par because it has been weakened or “dumbed down.” Students are asked at an early age, what they want to do in life. They are then placed in this tract and courses will be inflicted upon them so that they have to stay in this same path through high school. One example is this, where a student in the 3^rd grade had to make a declaration as to what he wants to do when he finishes high school, he wants to go to college to become an attorney. That is too bad. He has been in this lower tract and he cannot be expected to pass the college entrance exam.

Can you determine the destination of the school-to-work program? We are heading into a socialistic nation. Our forthcoming president is more than glad to carry us all the way into Socialism. In my next post, I will discuss ‘Socialism in a Christian Society.’ In the meantime, how about reading 1984, which was written in 1949, by George Orwell. This book depicts all that we are seeing around us NOW.

Basically, no generation of believers has had to stand against as much as this last generation. We stand at the end of time in this world. We are looking for the coming of Jesus Christ as no other generation has. All that was wrong and all that was right in the Church has come upon us.

I wonder why were we chosen by God to be in this generation? He knew what we would be up against. I have often thought, Lord you could have found someone better than me to live in this time. My daddy used to say, “Janie, your generation will see the coming of the Lord. I have often thought, “Is this it?” So this never took place and I became complacent.

So many before us have nourished us to be able to stand in this day, to stand in this time, stand in the power of the Holy Ghost. Everything we have ever gleaned from those who have gone on and still gleaning from some still with us was provided to keep us that we would be able to stand in this day against the fury of the devil and quench all his fiery darts. All of heaven is waiting.
what will we do?

Hell is preparing for its own but heaven is preparing for us hallelujah!  God looked into eternity future and decided you and I would be perfect for this time and this day. What He saw in us I do not know. But He obviously saw something and said, these will be able to stand. I will send these in the very last time. The gates of hell will not be able to prevail against these though the winds of evil blow as hard as they might. These I will make to stand and to stand strong

Have you given this any thoughtmy friends? God is not haphazard. He knows exactly what he is doing at all times. Yet he chose you and me for now. It boggles the mind. It is humbling and greatly encouraging. If God believed we could stand then that means we can. That means we will and it means we are.

If another generation is coming behind us and I doubt there will be, but if there is, they will have been chosen to be here as a delight before Him just as we have been.

Where ever He has placed you is no accident. You did not go down the wrong street or up the wrong avenue. You are exactly where you are supposed to be to call upon the name of the LORD and here Him say I AM is here. I AM is here to help you.

You will not lose this battle. Stand ye still and see the salvation of the Lord with you. We may not have the strength to fight in this battle. But our eyes are upon Him. Beloved ALL things are working together for good to THEM THAT love GOD are the CALLED according to HIS purposes.

The Generation of Fulfillment

“I have ordained you to walk in the newness of life to come and follow me wherever I am that you may see my mighty acts. I have given you my Spirit to be your companion and your guard.

I have equipped you with my Word and my ways. Walk in the newness of my life, be filled with my Spirit always and you will see there is always a fresh reservoir from which to draw. I am the answer to everything.

I want to give some of you more if you will only trust me. I am about to turn the world upside down and you will hear the rush as the lost are shaken loose and run to find shelter. Some will find my path and therefore you must be where I am that they may know which path is good and which path is evil.

I have poured out of my Spirit and will continue to pour but never forget I have poured out my Spirit for my people that you may have my joy and have my refreshing always within you. I will give you new songs and fresh anointing.

I am ready to pour out this refreshing to you. I am about to take some of you and give you my Spirit and out of your belly shall flow rivers of living waters and you will run the race with a joy you have never imagined. You have sat in dead places long enough longing for me.

Call unto me and I will answer and I will saturate you with myself and I will turn your longing into peace and your wandering into steadfastness.

This is a season of historic change in the world. This is the hour when you shall understand why I have given you My Spirit in such great abundance. No other generation since the first have known power such as I am about to give you, for you are the generation of fulfillment and the river is running and there is not enough force in the world to stop what I am about to do through you.”

Psalms 145:3-7 “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. 4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 6 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. 7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.”

Yes, we are that generation. Look at the signs that are lining up. If you can fit the puzzle pieces together you will begin to see what is about to happen More on this later.

Today was a marvelous 2nd day of school. We started the day with prayer and then continued with our Bible study about Samuel. Actually we reviewed with finding answers in the workbook.

When I was a child growing up in the Pelzer-Williamston area of South Carolina, I was taught all about the Bible characters and their families in the Old and New Testaments. That is what Sunday School in the Baptist Church will do for you!!

However, I have found 98% of the youth of today, do not know any of this material. (except my students that have been studying all of this for several years}

My students can give you Scripture by Scripture as to how things will go in the end times. Can you?

In Lessom 2 tomorrow, we will study the Call of God on Samuel’s life. See you tomorrow
