How can you stop elder financial abuse before it bankrupts your family's estate or trust?

The principle of prevention is that forewarned is forearmed.

That means keeping a watchful eye on an elderly loved one or family member's finances and

behavior so that you can stop a bad actor from getting away with fraud and exploitation.

The National Adult Protective Services Association has issued guidelines to help you spot red

flags of elder financial abuse: Unpaid Bills & Liabilities: If an elder supposedly

has enough money to pay the bills but ends up having their utilities shut off, it might

be a sign of just more than forgetfulness.

That money might have gone right into an abuser's pocket.

Surrendering Oversight: If a "new friend" or relative who suddenly begins visiting an

elder assumes oversight of financial affairs or power of attorney, this can present a big

red flag.

Investigate the circumstances further.

Suspicious Withdrawals: Checks written to "cash" or unexplained withdrawals from financial

accounts are a potential signal that an elder is being exploited by someone eager for access

to their funds.

Disappearing Funds: If cash, valuables or financial documents begin disappearing, find

out where they've gone.

A bad actor might already be looting your elder's estate.

Changed Estate Documents: If there are unauthorized or unexplained changes to wills, trusts or

other estate documents, it's time to ask the elder and possibly consult legal counsel.

Creditors Closing In: If the elder begins receiving property liens, foreclosure notices

or other claims by creditors without you expecting it, make sure you find out why.

Vulnerable elders need a support system among family as well as financial, medical and legal

professionals to protect them and their assets.

Can God Speak Through You? - Duration: 6:50.

But Peter, with the power of the Holy Spirit, had an answer for them.

When we're told that Peter was

"filled with the Ruach HaKodesh", it doesn't mean that he was just now indwelt with the

Holy Spirit or that

he received more of the Holy Spirit than he had received a few days earlier at Pentecost.

This won't be

the only time we'll hear of a disciple make a speech and we're told that he was

"filled with the Holy Spirit".

It only means that this Believer was given special divine inspiration for what he was about to

say or do.

I am certain that Peter remembered and was comforted by these words of His Master

and so fully expected to be "filled with the Holy Spirit" at the appropriate moment:

Matthew 10:18-20 CJB

18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings

as a testimony to them and to the Goyim.

19 But when they bring you to trial, do not worry about what to say or how to say it;

when the time comes, you will be given what you should say.

20 For it will not be just you speaking, but the Spirit of your heavenly Father

speaking through you.

I want to comment on Jesus's statement for just a moment.

Yeshua is not saying that His disciples,

the original 12 (or us), should ignore preparation

when given an opportunity to speak God's Word or to

speak about the Good News in witness of Him.

This is not a call for us to just "wing it".

The 12 Disciples (to whom He was speaking)

were with Yeshua day and night and so were being constantly taught

about the Holy Scriptures from the mouth of God Himself.

They were in as intense a teaching environment

(for as much as 3 years)

that we scarcely imagine.

As we see here in Acts, and throughout the New Testament,

these men who had no special higher learning

(all higher learning among the Jews was only religious education),

and could quote Scripture beautifully and in the proper context.

They weren't merely good

memorizers and so could speak Bible passages the way a Parrot can mimic

but not know the substance of what it is saying.

Rather the Disciples were able to discern sufficiently to understand how to properly

apply the appropriate passages to the appropriate circumstances.

The Disciples didn't have the luxury of carrying Bibles to carry around

or refer to is as we do.

Yeshua didn't have a Tanakh,

he didn't have Scripture scrolls to teach His students from

(except occasionally perhaps in a Synagogue).

Memory and practice....much time and effort.... was needed to be able to remember

and pull up those divine words when called upon.

I've taught you for many years that upon coming to

Salvation, the next step must be immersion in water (to be baptized).

But immediately after that is to be

immersed into God's Word.

Otherwise all we'll know is what others tell us, and often that amounts to

bumper sticker sayings or doctrines that might well be true (sometimes not),

but they come without an underlying foundation for understanding what we've heard

or how to apply it to our lives.

These 12 disciples who were often accused of being common am ha'eretz

(a term literally meaning the people of the land,

but in Christ's day was used in a derogatory way to indicate people of little

wit or systematic education).

Yet these ordinary men could confound and intelligently respond to kings, even Torah

teachers, under the most stressful circumstances.

It was because, first of all, they knew God's Word.

and also because they had the Holy Spirit to guide them.

I have heard about many of you who have confounded and startled

Pastors and Rabbis and friends and family

with your answers to their questions or statements about your faith or about Biblical

doctrines.

And some of you have told me that when you are responding that you can't believe what is

coming out of

your mouth!

And what startles your audience is that most of you never went to Seminary or Bible College.

But you have diligently studied God's Word, with the Ruach HaKodesh as your teacher,

you know the unfiltered truth.

There can be no higher education than that so don't ever think that you are

unqualified to challenge religious authorities when they have it wrong.

Blogging Vs Vlogging what works best for you? - Duration: 5:47.

It's a beautiful sunny day here in England right vlogging versus blogging what's the difference?

Blogging is writing and goes back to

the earliest days of the internet when all that we had were bulletin boards. Vlogging came

about with the advent of being able to use video online. The word vlogging goes back

a long long way but it wasn't applied to the word today. The word today is a

video log. A blog is a written log of your daily events or weekly events and a vlog is a

record of your daily events or weekly events in video format. So they are two

different formats basically. You ask any writer trying to write emotions is

quite quite tricky. More than quite tricky it is really very difficult very very hard

Vlogging is much more immediate you can show how you're feeling

Just in a couple of frames. Now as a teacher I know that there are several different

ways that people learn some people learn by reading some people are visual

learners and some people learn by doing. Different people have different ways of

learning or different ways of taking in information. I find that I'm a mixture of

all of those. I can learn by reading I can learn by watching videos. I've learnt

a lot from YouTube I learn loads of things from YouTube which brilliant and

also by doing. So I used to make videos. Home videos for my family and

that kind of thing but vlogging is a whole different discipline altogether

You have to learn a different set of things about lighting about sound about all

kinds of stuff. Like I'm sitting in the garden now and you can hear cars going

past you can hear someone's Mowing there lawn over there hopefully you can hear

the birds song because that's actually the loudest sound here. But yeah vloggings

got a whole different bunch of complications that go with it

At first I was trying to eliminate all sound which is wrong there that's not

real life is it? Real life is what's going on around you and I'm not making a

movie this is not a movie. This is a vlog so em yeah vloggings interesting.

My friends in the blogger world have been asking me to write for a long long time

They say. "Well Mike when are you going to start writing again?" They was trying to say

Well look. Come and join us we're having a great time. It's a new venture in blogging.

Which I think is going to be very disruptive and very very good for

the internet and what they're trying to do is get away from the

traditional methods of supporting creative people which is advertising

you know adsense and all that kind of thing. They've actually created a new model for

earning money online from your blogging or your vlogging and basically they use a

thing called a tip jar and so this is like an in-between. The newspapers

and people like that magazines they've all gone for this this subscription

model where you pay an annual subscription and then you get the

newspaper or the magazine every week or every month however often it comes out

The model that this group has come up with is totally different

You go and read their work or you watch their vlogs and if you like it you leave

a tip. A couple of bucks and that's it basically your tips are rewarding that

blogger for the work and effort that they've put in. This way if you like a piece of

work you can tip it. You know you would tip a busker in the street and they've called

themselves the Virtual Buskers Guild and they inducted me into it this week

which was brilliant because I haven't been writing for a long time and they

said no. What we're going to do. We're going to induct you into the virtual

busters guild as a blogger vlogger. Trying to come up with different names

for it. So "Blowvlog"? Vicky came up with blowvlog and I thought that

sounds like a Bond villain. Yes Mr Blowvlog but now it's

blog and vlog so I do my vlogs and put them on the Weeblyhood site which is on

Weebly. If I can write something then I write underneath. Another thing

I thought about as well was this. When I'm making my videos I just record them and

upload them to YouTube and then I'll go through and watch the video and I transcribe

it. To do the closed captions so that people who are hard of hearing can read

what I'm saying in the vlogs. I thought well the obvious thing to do is to take

that closed captions and put it in as the blog underneath the video so that's

what I'm doing. So I've been inducted into the virtual

buskers guild which is very very nice so that's it

I've been inducted.

Just listen to this now

That's an airplane it's probably a big Hercules from the United States going to

RAF Lakenheath over in Suffolk. They're making the movie here next year and

they're looking for extras. I think I might actually go and become one?

Could you see me in American Air Force uniform?

Slick!? tee hee!
