A lifting of the burden at ToBeFree? Can we now move on to see ‘ONE’ happen?

About a month ago, I felt a lifting of the burden to painstakingly try to expose what’s really going on in the world and how America is getting jacked. I had posted for me a record number of posts in June. My guess was that perhaps people are finally getting it, which has been my main goal at ToBeFree. My thinking was that hardly anyone seems to want to seek and obey God these days. The majority seem to be living in partysville — “Don’t worry, be happy!” But if they knew the condition we are really in and how much time we have left….

I just now posted this screenshot that I tweaked, and I thought: this is it. People must be finally getting it now — what so many of us have been trying to warn us about for many years. It’s been so frustrating…

Well here it is, proof that we’re getting jacked. This doesn’t just happen by accident. The Devil has been in charge because the ‘church’ has been asleep. It’s not God’s fault: Howard Storm: The Future of the United States — It’s not God’s fault…. We let Him down. He was ready…

Satan’s plan is now being allowed to happen so fast that it seems that we will actually experience the Book of Revelation in our lifetimes, maybe sooner than later. We better get ready, which is what my spiritual site ONEcanhappen is all about.

Let’s do it, please?

Will you help, making sure you are right with anyone you’ve hurt, and help others do this so revival can come — so the coming years can be the highest point in our lives, not the lowest.

ONE can happen!

I put up this at ONEcanhappen on July 18:

Charisma Editor: An Asbury-like Spiritual Awakening is the “Only Thing That Will Save Us”

The Welsh Revival of 1904-05 by J. Edwin Orr: A Countrywide Asbury-like REVIVAL! The 4 Points: #1 Confess any known sin, and put any wrong done to man right again. #2 Put away any doubtful habit. #3 Obey the Spirit promptly. #4 Confess your faith publicly.Can ‘Christians’ use Paul’s “Forgetting the things which are behind…I press on” statement as an excuse to not get right with those they’ve hurt? Paul also said: “I also practice ALWAYS having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.” What if you don’t repent? And what will happen when you do? The Third Great Awakening can start with us!!! We can all be happy — ‘ONE’!

The Achan Factor — Because of one man’s disobedience the entire nation of Israel had to deal with the “Achan factor” among them before they could come under the umbrella of Almighty God’s blessings once again!

Let’s be free!

And by the way, I still plan on continuing my ToBeFree blog, but I don’t feel like I have to prove as much my claims that secret societies, international banksters controlled by Satan is actually succeeding in taking us down.

ToBeFree has almost 5,000 posts in which I have articles proving just about everything. It’s been a frustrating time in my life. I feel like I’ve been in the Château d’If like Edmond in the movie, The Count of Monte Cristo.

Here is Mercedes questioning Edmond for the first time since he was taken away:

Mercedes:    Where have you been?

Edmond:    13 Years in the chateau d’if and everywhere else you can imagine.

Mercedes:    The Chateau d’if for 13 years!

Edmond    Did you suffer?

I watched this movie again, a couple of times recently, and I don’t usually re-watch movies. It really hit home with me. It’s a wonderful tale of love, suffering, joy, jealousy, finding forgiveness and to a certain extent, God.

Here is what the the always positive and thankful priest (unlike Edmund) wrote on Edmund’s dungeon’s cell wall:

SO NEGLECT BECOME OUR ALLY

It’s hard to be positive when times are so dark, but had I not been alone all of these years I probably wouldn’t have been able to research and be able to write what I’ve found.

And guys, it is possible to not succumb to the low-cut-top epidemic which this movie does suffer from: The Low-Cut Top Epidemic: May We Be Holy. We need to be very careful to guard our eyes, or it’s best to not watch it — really.

That’s really the only warning I have regarding this movie. It’s truly an amazing drama!

The following 15 photos…

8/4 Correction: I removed what I wrote about the tele, having believed a just-released test that I now think has problems — now having done my own test with my own and a borrowed lens from a friend.

– –

The following 15 photos were taken with my new compact camera, the Olympus PEN E-P3 on Sunday morning, mostly in downtown Anchorage.

I’ve been waiting for this just-released upgrade of the E-P2 for about a year. In a few areas it’s not quite what I had hoped, but I decided to jump in anyway, and I’m glad I did!

The sensor could still use some improvements, but the color is improved, which is a huge factor for me, and the auto focus speed is now state of the art.

In these photos, I hope you can tell that I was having a lot of fun! The camera is a riot with the lenses that I’ve carefully chosen. I only used the normal lens once in all of these shots — for Towering Motel only.

Incidentally, the Olympus micro 4/3rds PEN cameras are considered compact cameras, but they’re much larger than the compacts I’ve been discussing on this site [upgrades for most should be announced soon]. None of them will go wide or long enough for what is the sweet spot for me. And this camera also has the image quality of being able to shoot fairly large gallery prints if there is adequate light.

The full-sized sensor (and much bigger and heavier) Canon 5D Mark II still blows it away in many categories, and will still be my mainstay for the premeditated, highest quality shots, but this will fulfill the very exciting compact-carry niche.

I hope you enjoy the photos,
and God bless!

Over 5,000 posts and almost 1 million hits on my sites — yet most are still in The Matrix

I realize that I haven’t posted much at JeffFenske lately, but this will someday change — especially when I get enough guts to do my own videos.

Just so you know, I haven’t been slacking: at my three sites, ToBeFree, ONEcanhappen and JeffFenske, I have now posted 5600 posts and have more than 900,000 hits.

My original work, Who-Goes-To-Heaven Scriptures — Narrow is the Way | Who are the Children of God? is still number one in Google if you type in <who goes to heaven>. It’s been up almost 3.5 years and no one can refute it. It’s conclusive proof, yet pastors are still reluctant to preach it so revival can come (which is just real-Christianity). Hmmm. What’s up?!!

It’s like I posted [Lying and Cover-up — Obama is done. Biden will soon be President] Jerome Corsi: White House Running Scared Over Latest Discovery of Obama’s True Origins, thinking surely this revelation would be the end of Obama — the evidence of the faked birth certificate is so conclusive — but things continue business as usual.

It’s like most are really living in The Matrix. Who would have thought…?

I’m currently writing a third article on Who Goes to Heaven (the second was Who are the Children of God?), which I included in the first. A reader asked me about Jesus’ Parable of the Talents, regarding whether we have to do something to go to heaven. I should be posting this fairly comprehensive article fairly soon at ONEcanhappen.

I do what I do to help set people free. Getting almost 1 million hits is nice, but some sites get 1 million hits per day. I won’t stop until ONE, Jesus prayer for us in John 17 really happens. Then the world will know.

May we be ONE in Christ — free from The Matrix — living in reality!

If there is anything you can do to help ONE happen, please…?

Pretty please…?

Sometimes I feel like a lone voice crying in the wilderness.

My 6/11/11 Dream: “I forgive you”

This is pretty cool since a main reason I started this blog was to be able to fully forgive everyone 100% of the time from the heart so I could be free without having to pray so much in the Spirit to be free (second half of Matthew 18 with Ephesians 4:26, 27).

On 6/11/11, I had just watched Leif Hetland: Dreams on Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural (pretty good, by the way), in which Leif was emphasizing the importance of hearing and following dreams from the Lord — something I had done many times, but not real recently. I went to bed and had a dream:

I was getting ready to work out with light weights in a room, hurrying, because I didn’t have much time, and there was a man in the room. I knew that this man, whom I hadn’t seen for awhile, was bothered by something about me or by what I was doing — probably both. He had been a bully in my life years ago, saying bad things…. He started saying something unkind. I replied, saying something kind of neutral. He then said something really mean. I then simply said: “I forgive you.”

And the conflict was eased. He then said something kind like: “how long has it been?”

So I think God is trying to tell me that I should not just forgive silently, but actually say it to the person….

Frustrated

Why haven’t I written personal posts really for months now?

Okay, I started writing this twice. Here goes. Hopefully, this will help me get unstuck.

In January, I wrote The Container is Completed at ‘ONE’canhappen, fully expecting to see revival/real Christianity to soon happen. I’ve spent much of my life to see this occur.

Everything was in place on my end. And five lectures taught by 3 pastors were scheduled on the subject regarding who goes to heaven.

I presented my material, including Who-Goes-To-Heaven Scriptures — Narrow is the Way | Who are the Children of God?, which no one can still refute, in plenty of time before they spoke, so we could easily come into doctrinal agreement.

I was promised certain things, and totally let down by all. And not only have I been let down, but so have so many. Churches are still dead. The Holy Spirit is almost completely being ignored. And America is dropping like a rock because of the ‘church’ is not salt and light. Yet many of the ‘church’ leaders act like everything is a-okay: “ha, ha, ha….” — while sin is off the charts!

I’m sick of it. They all promised to dialogue and then they won’t. They ignored, mostly refused to even read my material. And it’s all my fault because I’m not patient enough, “not letting the Holy Spirit work in their lives.”

How patient do I have to be? I’ve been almost totally hands off for years! And I emerge with the goods — and am discarded.

I wonder how God feels — Jesus’ Heart-Cry: “Let Us Be ONE”

I could understand if these weren’t ‘Christian’ leaders of whom all clearly know about Paul’s overseer qualifications, which I elaborate on here: Paul’s Elders’ qualifications revisited: What does ‘BLAMELESS’ mean? — Most pastors are biblically disqualified

I think I should again share this: My 1990 Key-to-Revival Prophecy: “There is might and there is power and there is glory, but it is being withheld until these relationships are made right, until we love our brother enough to…” And by the way, I was told by one of the pastors that there can no longer be blood on the pews  (a vision that the man who should be leading this church had regarding the lives who have been slain) because they replaced the pews with stadium seating.

Aug, 9,1990

“Our eyes are full of sawdust. We can’t see clearly to see the kingdom. There is might and there is power and there is glory, but it is being withheld until these relationships are made right, until we love our brother enough to feel his hurt deeply and say kind words of salve that heal their souls.

[___] can do this. This is vital. They are necessary. For he must do this for healing to occur. He is a man of integrity in many ways.

Fear must decrease. Love must increase. He will fight and he will win the battle over the stronghold of fear and unforgiveness, sayeth the Lord.”

Note the date of this prophecy, during which I shared it with one of these three leaders.

In the words of U2:

How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long…how long…how long…
How long…to sing this song

While we twiddle our thumbs, America is going down — and we’re not getting spiritually prepared to be able to easily overcome during what is coming.

ONE needs to happen — Jesus’ prayer for us in John 17.

We’re so vulnerable right now. All it takes is an EMP from the sun or a nuke and we’re done. [2012?] Likelihood of a SOLAR FLARE taking out our entire power grid — NO ELECTRICITY; NO WATER; NO HEAT for MANY MONTHS! ALASKA would be especially vulnerable. “If people in a community JOIN TOGETHER…” is my latest article on the subject, which has links to others, which give the fuller picture.

We have been given so many chances and so many years by God to get our act together and we need to step up now — or our window may close.

There is might and there is power and there is glory, but it is being withheld until these relationships are made right, until we love our brother enough to feel his hurt deeply and say kind words of salve that heal their souls.

God isn’t going to ‘sovereignly’ start the Third Great Awakening like leaders are actually teaching. He will draw near to us when we draw near to Him (James 4). He’s promised to do His part when we do our part (John 17):

Asbury Revival, 1970: “‘Dr. Kinlaw, I am a liar. Now what do I do?’ … Three days later, she came to me radiant, and she said, ‘Dr. Kinlaw, I’m free!’”20 years ago, I gave this very same video (as a VHS) to this same pastor mentioned above who now can hardly even look me in the eye — but he’s still preaching!

The Welsh Revival of 1904-05 by J. Edwin Orr: A Countrywide Asbury-like REVIVAL! The 4 Points: #1 Confess any known sin, and put any wrong done to man right again. #2 Put away any doubtful habit. #3 Obey the Spirit promptly. #4 Confess your faith publicly.

Will some of you help all of us by fully jumping in? Real life is waiting for us, but can’t if we are lukewarm, ready to be spit out of God’s mouth.

Let’s be real. We need to honestly accept our current condition and fully jump in, now that we still have the time and the opportunity. Here are just some of the time comments from my 2001-2 prophecy, Let Us Be ONE:

Do not hold grudges, My people. Get up and repent. The time is short. I will not hold back much longer the tide that is about to come.

* * *

The sin in the body is great. The sin in the body is evident to all who watch from afar. They don’t want to go in and see the yuck. Why should they?

There is plenty, and it will take time to clean up the mess; and many will see that you are My body. I will be glad. You will be one in Me.

The highway is great. Many travel on it: the ‘Way of Happiness,’ but it leads to destruction. They act like nothing is wrong. The sheep stealers rob the sheep, unawares. They teach them vain imaginations and lead them astray, where destruction awaits those who disobey. It is in the Word.

* * *

Give your life to Me, now, while there is still time to prepare. If you wait, others cannot take you into where you belong. A crash course can’t happen at the last minute, enough to get you in, because you are festering with demons.

Your heart won’t change if you let rebellion keep you from Me now. Now is the day of salvation. Why wait?

* * *

I love My people. I love to see you free. Freedom comes at a price. You must be vigilant to obey. It takes time. Start now.

Get off the boat of resentment—always making excuses. Don’t blame others. You obey. You tell them the truth. You walk in love. Then others will follow and be glad they obeyed. For fruit will remain when it’s done right.

There is no other way. No programs will do this. I am the way. In Me there is life. We are one. That is how it should be. Let Me fill you with life; no other. Don’t settle for a substitute that will drive you to drinking. Many have gotten off the boat of love and into a life of hate. “Christians,” I’m talking about. You. Some of you are living in anger and filth in your way of thinking, and it wreaks. I hate it. It gives Me a bad name. They think you are “Christians”, but you are not if you live this way. It is not possible.

William Seymour, 1909: Next Revival Will Come in About 100 Years — It’s Due!

God’s Remedy for James-3 Cursing & Partysville in Today’s Church is James 4

I’m trying really hard to do my part. I don’t think we can count on the existing ‘church’ leaders to get real Christianity happening. They’re running a disinfo campaign. And some are praying against (James-3 curse) those who are supposed to lead. Something radical has to change so those whom God has truly called to lead should lead.

Will you please help in anyway you can — doing your part?

So I’ve been down in the dumps, kind of frustrated lately…

How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song

It’s so sad because ONE should have happened decades ago, when we could have still saved this country. But great good can still come if we do our parts now.

This is a collective thing. We all need each other — 1 Cor. 12 — one body, many members, uniquely gifted…

We can soar through these end times if…

Now is the time to be ONE!

Please?

Infowars’ Aaron Dykes using Canon 5D Mark II to get footage of secret Bilderberg meeting where America is getting jacked!

The camera hanging from Aaron Dykes’ neck in the video below is my main camera: Canon’s 5D2 — officially called the 5D Mark II. It can be used to shoot Hollywood quality video, in addition to great stills.

More Bilderberg info at Alex’s links, below. And I’m posting some at ToBeFree, where I have over 200 posts in my Secret Society category.

If our next President is a Republican, he or she is probably there. This is how it works.

Notice there is still almost totally a mainstream media blackout in America [Drudge links to the few] of this annual, secret, global elite meeting where future world events are contrived and announced to each other.

David Rockefeller is there at age 96. He thanked the mainstream media’s complicity in the 1991 meeting.

From: Amazing Media-is-Manipulated Quotes | The Day the Music Died

We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promise of discretion for almost forty years

It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government.

The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination practiced in past centuries.”

David Rockefeller, in an address given to Catherine Graham, publisher of The Washington Post and other media luminaries in attendance in Baden, Germany at the June 1991 annual meeting of the world elite Bilderberg Group.

The whole world is getting jacked!

Animation Showing How the Canon 10D and 24-85mm Lens are Assembled

This animation was created by students of the Engineering 128: Advanced Engineering Design Graphics course at UC Berkeley during the Spring 2008 semester. The first part shows a Canon 10D DSLR exploding into its individual parts, and then those parts coming together again to slowly rebuild the camera, while the second part does the same for a Canon 24-85mm lens. Pretty…impressive considering that it’s for an undergraduate course.

My Nephilim theory | John Prine’s “Some Humans Ain’t Human” video back up

I just explained my Nephilim theory at ONEcanhappen, which I’ve been considering for decades and explains a lot!

My theory on the Nephilim: When God told the Children of Israel to kill every man, woman and child in Canaan (the giants), there was this Genesis-6, demon-contaminated genetic problem again? Israel did not; and then there was intermarriage. This would explain why so many seem to be predisposed towards evil — and they become our leaders — even of churches?!!

* * *

And the video for John Prine: “Some Humans Ain’t Human” — Austin City Limits again works, which I’ll put up also here:

Some humans ain’t human
Some people ain’t kind
You open up their hearts
And here’s what you’ll find

A few frozen pizzas
Some ice cubes with hair
A broken Popsicle
You don’t want to go there

Why I ONLY Shoot RAW — “Friends don’t let friends shoot JPEG” — Why throw all those pixels away? You may want them someday.

NOTE: many compact cameras don’t shoot in RAW anyway [these do], but they often come preset to a low quality setting. So people buy a 10 megapixel camera, and then literally throw away most of the pixels!

Here are reasons to at least consider shooting in the ‘highest quality’ JPEG mode, and perhaps even using only cameras that can shoot in RAW, which allows us to shoot in JPEG and RAW simultaneously, to keep the most amount of data for archiving (RAW) and a JPEG of practical size for everyday use.

——-

I thought I’d share this really well written, short piece on why non-professional photographers should consider shooting in RAW too.

Some may be thinking: ‘What are you talking about, Jeff?’ Basically:

RAW, is one type of file output from a DSLR or advanced camera that writes ALL DATA from the digital sensor to the memory card. Other file types are TIF and JPG. Most photographers start out shooting JPG [or JPEG] because they don’t know better or believe everything they read online.

Check out this really cool analogy from this article:

Think of it this way…from the days you used to shoot -FILM– of all things. When you had your photos processed at the lab what would you do with your negatives? Always keep them safely stored and filed, right? Of course! Well RAW files are your negatives and JPEG files are the 4×6 prints you would get at the same time. About 50% of the time they are fine, but many times the young kid who was clueless behind the print processor in the lab didn’t know how you liked your prints. Sometimes they were too dark, other times they should have corrected for the very bright flash and dark background.

So why, now that you are shooting digital, do you toss away your negatives (RAW files) and settle for only the 4×6 prints (JPEG files)? Would you ever make a 20×30 or 30×40 print from a tiny 4×6 print that was poorly printed in the first place? Never! Heck no! So why do you settle for JPEG files that are tossing more data than you keep while the camera is converting it from RAW?

Friends don’t let friends shoot JPEG.

So maybe most of your photos are just for the memories, and you’ll never want to display them in the highest quality. But what if you shoot an image that is flat out gorgeous, or for some other reason you’d like to print it bigger to hang it on your wall someday, but all you have saved into your memory card is a low-quality JPEG?

There are two issues here. Are your photos saved only as JPEGs, and what resolution size is selected in the camera’s menu?

Many compact cameras actually don’t shoot in RAW at all, so shooting in RAW may not even be a possibility unless you buy a RAW-capable camera, which I always make sure I do. Then you can shoot in RAW and JPEG at the same time, called RAW + JPEG. And JPEGs can be as large or small as you’d like. Small is great for sending in emails, for example. But then you always have the RAW file if you need to make (or have someone make for you) a larger JPEG — or the best possible image that you could get from the uncompressed RAW file.

Since memory is so cheap these days, why not just get a bigger memory card and shoot in RAW + JPEG? This will slow down download times though. And the “write times” (time it takes to record the image into the card during shooting) can be longer in many cameras too.

The highest quality, archival RAW files aren’t practical for most people to get their everyday images from, because they require editing in software to look good (like film negatives required specific tweaking) — whereas the JPEGs are ready to go, having already added the standard adjustments, like saturation, contrast, white balance, sharpening, etc.

So you have the best of both worlds if you shoot in both RAW and JPEG, with the few limitations I show above.

Shooting in the highest res JPEG is also far better than leaving it in low-res, if you want a higher quality or bigger print someday. But these generally should probably be downsized in a computer program to put on the net or sent in an email.

Personally, I shoot in RAW only, no JPEGs at all, from which I can always make a JPEG. But for the shooter who wants to do as little as possible in the computer and still have a best quality, archive copy, shooting in RAW + small JPEG may be ideal.

And if you only shoot in JPEG, increasing the resolution to maximum may not be quite as good as RAW for getting the best larger print someday, but it’s many times better than throwing away all of those pixels by compressing in the smallest size.

And what if you want to crop, print or put on the web just part of the picture? This can only be effectively done from the larger file sizes.

The larger JPEGs really are too big to be sent to friends in an email, so they would need post-processing to make them email/web-ready.

Small JPEG + RAW may be the best solution for keeping the negative and the small print (in terms of the illustration above).

Why throw all those pixels away? You may want them someday.
