"No one can serve two masters. He will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life-- what you shall eat or drink-- or about your body-- what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

"Look at the birds in the sky. They do not sew or reap. They gather nothing into barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you, by worrying, add a single moment to your life span?

"Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wildflowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was clothed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will He not much more provide for you, oh you of little faith?

"So do not worry and say, what are we to eat? Or what shall we drink? Or what are we to wear? All these things the pagans seek. Your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

"But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil."

This is Mejanomics with a Friend of Medjugorje.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE] [SONG MUSIC: LETS LIVE FOR TODAY IN BACKGROUND]

We have a world going on today that it worries. Theres a lot of anxiety. Our Lady said March 1, 1987: Do not worry with anxiety about what will happen tomorrow or in a few years We have people making things so complicated, so difficult, theyre all worrying about this and that. Theyre in a hurry. Theyre chasing money, their dreams. And it doesnt come true. Maybe temporarily it does.

But we need to be different. We have better things to do. Our Lady is showing that through Her messages. On February 29, 1984, Our Lady says: Do not worry about tomorrow, each day will have its own worries Thats just what Matthew said. Its sufficient for the day. Our Lady continues on that message: do not worry about the other days. Be content with prayer That is what we are to do, turn to the messages.

On March 25, 1988: your witness willhave value for yourselves Thats the real treasures, and yet we worry about tomorrow and all the money and what people do. Everyones following the culture, living only for today, only for the pleasure.

This is not what Our Ladys calling us to. We are to be different. Were not to follow the crowd. The direction the worlds going in is a dead end.

[SONG: LETS LIVE FOR TODAY]

When I think of all the worries people seem to find, and how they're in a hurry to complicate their minds. By chasing after money and dreams that can't come true. I'm glad that we are different. We've better things to do.
(One, two, three, four!)

Sha la la la la la live for today
Sha la la la la la live for today
And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey
Sha la la la la la live for today (live for today)

We were never meant to worry the way that people do. We'll take the most from living, have pleasure while we can
(Two, three, four!)

Sha la la la la la live for today

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

A lot of words of wisdom. Its threaded through the messages of Our Lady and its Biblical. And this is how people are living today. Its a sad state. What if I came to you with a checker board and pulled the checkers out of it and I told you I would sell you these checkers, and you would pay me and eight of a tenth of a cent for one checker. And the next person comes on, and they pay you a dime for one. And so, you go and get more checkers, and then people start saying, Hey, I paid ten cents for this, you pay me fifteen cents for it. And it just goes up and up. And you start manufacturing, and you put them out there.

And, because everybody else sees the gain on it because you paid this for it, and then its now 20 cents when you made a dime off it, and it keeps going that way.

This has happened, and this is ludacris. What would you do if that checker got up to $5,000? Would you keep on it and say, Hey, Im going to hold this up. This makes money. What is it worth? Five thousand dollars! Why? Because somebody came along and paid $6,000. And after that, they paid $7,000. And it keeps going. And that made a lot of money. And they tell everybody else, This is a lot of money. Look what I made on this. And theyre all running after something that has a value because somebody else is running, or willing to pay a little bit more money for it, because they want to make money!

And they look at this and think, What is driving this? Greed. Getting something for nothing. What if it hit $10,000, for a checker chip? What would have happened if it went to $12,000? And everybody sees and is like, I want that. I got to get in on this. And it goes to $13,000, $14,000, $15,000, $16,000, $17,000 for a checker chip! And you know what? They did this with bitcoins. And you know what? The checker chip is worth more than the bitcoin because its real.

This is called krypto-currency. And whats its definition? Its from the Greek word kruptos, meaning secret, hidden, or concealed. It doesnt even exist! Its an electronic nothing. Its just air. It makes more sense for you to pay $17,000 for a checker chip than it is for a bitcoin which is krypto-currency. Its a digital asset which is a lie, and its designed to work as a medium for exchange. Nobodys exchanging that.

Whens the last time they came to the store and said, Hey, I want to buy this with bitcoins? That was a lie they put forth to have it worth that this is going to be currency. The first thing they purchased with it, somebody bought a pizza with it. How many people have bought things with this? There were smart people who got in this, investors who got in this!

Just two days ago, the headline was, Bitcoin Declines 10% as Krypto-Collapse Worsens. Why? Because everybody is waking up. Its worthless! Theyve been living for the day! Making more money on whats not even money now. How far do we get from truth? And how stupid do we have to become?

So, whats happening? Its crashing. In November, bitcoins lost 42% of its value in one month. It dropped down over $4,000 per bitcoin over the weekend. As far as Monday, its down to $3,600. You better get out even if you lost $10,000 per bitcoin. Because its going to be what its worth, which is zero. Its a Ponzi scheme. How do we get a civilization that has to be so educated, so advanced, that we fall for these things? Yeah, some people made a lot of money on this, but they got in it at the right time, and they got out of it at the right time.

There were only two or three people in 1929 that sold out before the 29 crash, and theyre the ones that had money later. This doesnt work. So, this thing started off in July 2010 at eight tenths of a cent per bitcoin. October it went to 12 and a half cents. By April of 2011, $1. By July 2011, $31. And it climbed from there.

Im going through all this, because just like the song said, When I think of all the worries people seem to find, and how theyre in a hurry to complicate their minds by chasing after money and dreams that cant come true. I am glad we are different. We are called to be different. Our Ladys messages tell us to break away from whats going and what people do.

I was never tempted by these bitcoins. I dont care how much it went up. I dont care if I invested in the right time, which we dont do that, because its not our life. What we do is real. And what is real is what Our Ladys showing us. So, were in a situation right now that the economy is booming, but theres clouds over us telling us some things are happening.

We have out there in the housing market right now the Federal Reserve is increasing its interest. One of the motivations is to destroy Trump and destroy the economy. They dont want to completely destroy it, they just want to make sure he doesnt get president in 2020. So, the motivation is there.

But our read today is showing you what happens in Dallas Fort Worth, the rest of the nation will follow suit. Because its one of those cities, with a few other cities across the country, so goes Dallas Forth Worth, so goes New York, so goes the nation.

There are leading cities, that these things are happening, that we can see its coming our way, wherever you are.

[JOAN]

This comes from the November 277^th issue of Wall Street Journal. Its entitled Dallas Sounds Alarm for Housing Market.

A half-hour drive straight north from downtown Dallas sits one of the fastest growing counties in the country. Cotton fields have been replaced with Toyotas new North American headquarters, a Dallas Cowboys training facility, and a sand-colored shopping strip with a Tesla dealership, and a three-story food hall.

Yet, even with the booming growth, Dallas once vibrant housing market is sputtering. In the high-end subdivisions, in the suburb of Frisco, builders are cutting prices on new homes by up to $150,000. On one street alone, four million dollars of new homes sat empty earlier this month. The U.S. economy just had one of the best six months stretches in a decade as the unemployment rate hovers around the lowest level in half a century.

Still, along with a recent swoon in the stock market, the housing market, which makes up a sixth of the U.S. economy, has been a troubling weak spot. U.S. existing home sales have declined on an annual basis for eight straight months, the longest slump in more that four years, according to the National Association of Realtors.

The slowdown has been driven by places that had earlier seen some of the strongest priced growth during this recovery including Seattle, Denver, New York, Boston, and the Bay area. Dallas, which has the second strong annual increase in employment of any metropolitan area in the country in September, helps explain why. Even though the economy and the sprawling metro-area has boomed, home prices have grown much faster than wages, and buyers have been straining to afford homes. Those price challenges have been masked in part by cheap credit, but that era is coming to an end.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

So, what this tells us, and one of the first signs that tells us everything is the housing. Everything surrounds that. Everybodys got to have a house. Not necessarily, but an apartment or whatever. But this is a tell-tale of whats coming and where we are. The housing market is one of the first thermometers to see the future. Were so comfortable that everythings going to be perfect, and yet Our Lady is telling us not to trust to material things.

Your investment, what you need to be doing, is what Our Lady shows us, is go back to an agrarian way of life. Youre not affected by that. You could be eating, you could be doing things you need to do. How do you do that, and how do you change some of your wealth to what real wealth is? Change it to make it into bitcoins? Or silver. Thats why we did the Miraculous Medjugorje Round. The purpose of that is because its real. Its not fake. You can hold it. And we advocate that.

Secondly, firstly, get in the system, get out of debt, and have a system created that you can eat and feed yourself. Thats the most important thing because the future is going to change. We quoted Ivanka the other night on the 25^th broadcast when she says about the future of the Church. Things are going to change. Why are you not changing now while you have the ability to do that? You want further evidence?

Well play a clip, its really actually a commercial by Glenn Beck of talking about silver and whats taking place right now. And it shows it more clearly of the point Im making to you.

[CLIP: GLENN BECK]

The world is changing. The world is changing. And, in the next few weeks, I hope to be able to spend some time and talk to you about the shortage of cash. And this seems really weird because were printing all of this money. How could we possibly have a shortage of cash? Well, the Fed is raising the interest rates, bringing that all in. Plus, the world is looking for dollars, because the world has to pay their debts back in dollars. So, some of these emerging countries are going to basically loan-sharks to borrow the dollars to be able to pay the loans back that they own. Meanwhile, were looking to borrow dollars as a government as well. I think its up to $1.6 trillion now.

And eventually, theres just not enough money to go around as the Fed is bringing it all in. Youre going to be competing. Inflation is already starting to happen. We are, God-forbid, were one real shakeup away from having real catastrophe here.

Please, please, please, please, protect yourself. Find out if silver is right for you. There are things that are happening that the media is just so far gone. Theyre just not going to address them. But these things are on the horizon now. Please find out if silver is right for you.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

So, you have voices everywhere warning about this, and you cant change your assets overnight to a system that feeds yourself. But what you can do is protect yourself as you just heard, for the purpose that when you get your land, you get with other people who, in community, or if something crashes, you have something preserved thats solid, thats real, thats natural, that has value because God made it that way. Just as Our Lady said, Your witness will have value for yourselves. Its not just transience, Our Lady adds, For all eternity. So, its value on this life, your witness, and it affects your eternity.

Some people make money and they love making money. Ive talked to people like that, and they would love their investment if they knew how to change their mentality to be investing into eternity. And thats into a way of life. So, the Miraculous Medjugorje Rounds purpose is to immediately shift things into not into bitcoins. Quit trying to make money on money! Thats dangerous. Yeah, you may make another extra million bucks, you may make another $10 million, but you may lose $10 million.

In regards to the silver market, were updating you whats going on at this moment.

[JASON- CENTURY SILVER MANAGER]

So, the price of silver has been around the mid to low $14s for several months now, and this is the lowest price its been in several years. Glenn Beck raised the question earlier, people need to decide whether or not silver is right for them. Its apparent that across the world millions of people are deciding that silver is right now them. Just in the last about week and a half with Century Silver, theres been about 25 people that have ordered silver. Now, theyre not doing big, big amounts right now. We still have that on an ongoing basis. People decide to commit to six-figure amounts. But what the trend appears to be now is that people are starting to do what youve mentioned before, a Friend of Medjugorje: saving in silver.

So, people are committing to $100 a month, or $500, or $1,000, or some people even $5,000 a month, whatever fits their budget. This seems to be happening at an increasing rate, that people are making a regular commitment. Theyre making a decision for silver in the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Round.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

You know, another point you can bring up too, your 401ks dropped dramatically with the stock markets. Thats where they invest your money. Its not just sitting in an account somewhere. A lot of peoples 401k just dropped dramatically and if they checked their figures, it would probably give them a heart attack. Why would you want that being in that instead of something thats solid that cant go away in value?

So, what do you suggest as far as 401ks?

[JASON- CENTURY SILVER MANAGER]

401ks- we would definitely say you need to at least remove a meaningful portion. Many people have cashed out their entire 401ks. The question that people always raise is, Well, what about that penalty? Ill have to pay an extra 10%. And our response is always, Would you rather pay 100% penalty and lose everything? Much more digestible is to take a 10% penalty. Cash that out now and put that in silver.

With the recent stock market declines, the question out there in the precious metals market has been for a long time, Why are the precious metals prices not rising? Why is silver even declining now? The answer generally seems to be understood that theres a lot of market manipulation, but its very clear that the price of silver right now, while it could go down, yes it can always go down more, but this is a very, very good price for silver, a very, very good time and a smart time to get into the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Round.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

And again, if you have extra funds and you preserve that wealth in silver, in the Miraculous Medjugorje Round, thats one thing. Your real goal in life is to have a system where you can feed yourself. But thats a complicated thing to jump in from one day to the next. Its not complicated to take your 401ks out, or what you have in your stock markets or investments. Change it into something solid that is there. And not to do that is not just ignorance, its really stupid.

Look at this with the bitcoins. Just two days ago our people had a frenzy. This is not even blessed because its corrupt, its built on greed. And everything that is not of God will crash. Its a fact. Its going to happen. But I can stay a few more days, I might just make it. Well, how many people just lost in the last 30 days a huge chunk of their 401ks? Ten percent? Thirty percent? Forty percent? Fifty percent? Dont risk this. Go for a lower gain but a full gain of preserving your wealth.

Were not against the market. Im not talking about the stock markets. Im talking about our system. Our system is based in a Christian principle to let a man work to make his own keep, and he needs to have the freedom to do that. Christianity gives freedom. A man should be able to go out there and create something or make something or produce something or grow food and sell it. And when the government gets involved with that, and the investments get in that, it changes where its just for the dollar, just for the dollar.

Were made to work, were made to have occupations, and those things are good. Were about to listen to a clip that gives the lessons thats very important, very practical, very logical. Wherever there is a vacuum in a free market, and there is a need there, somebody will produce it. They dont have to be told to do that. Theyll go to that, theyll produce that because they can sell that. And we need to keep these principles that the free market is not bitcoins, or the stock markets, or all these speculative things, its just good, hard, old-fashioned work.

And this clip will help educate you or re-educate you, especially people from other countries, why America works.

[CLIP]

Dow-Jones Industrial closed 24,748 today, just below 25. NASDAQ 7,082. Gold up almost a dollar to $12.14. Crude added 56 cents to $52.12. After a long slide, Americans energy independence, thats what we talked about in 2008, remember? T Boone Pickens came out with a wind energy plan, buying up wind farms across a corridor, a swath across Texas. Everybody was offering plans.

Michele Bachmann was running for president and she said, Were going to see $2 gas at the pump within a couple of years. And they laughed at her! Now, Michele Bachmann said some really dumb things in public life, but that wasnt one of them. It was prophetic, actually. We did see $2 gas, and I never heard anybody apologize.

You could see where this was going if you just take your foot off the brake! Or, if you just take the foot of the government off the throat of American industry. Were a very enterprising people. Dont tell me this country isnt fantastic and innovative and awesome and powerful and fearless if youve never actually looked at the numbers. Weve taught the world about free markets. Weve taught the world about trade. We didnt start World War II, we just finished it. But after we finished it, we didnt do what mankind has done as a nation-state, as a people, as a culture, as victors throughout history. We didnt subjugate the peoples we conquered even though they first attacked us. We didnt do what history always did! We didnt force our language or our religion upon them. We didnt occupy their buildings or burn them to the ground. We didnt steal their women, kill their men.

Throughout the history of mankind, thats the story! And even in the modern world, not only did we take their best shot and give better than we took. Then we went in and said, Were going to make you better. First, were going to lend you money and were going to show you how to spend it. We went into Germany and rebuilt that country.

Now, we had to carve it up as part of our deal with Russia, and it did have to be done. It had to be done to preserve peace in Europe and in the world. And it led to the Cold War, but that was unavoidable. The Russians were stewing for a war anyway. And we needed the Russians to take out the Germans. A proper review of history will tell you that the Russians did more than their part to defeat the Germans. They did. And they bore the biggest brunt of the war. A generation was devastated, decimated.

But we carved up Germany, and with our half, look what we did. Look what we built. And it gave us a great laboratory to study the economic systems. As awful as it was for the German people who were separated by this ominous wall of oppression, we got to see in the laboratory. On the East side, Communism. On the West side, free markets.

Free markets are nothing more than government getting out of the way of individuals, individuals who are ambitious and greedy and idealistic and hungry. And so, look what happened. The West thrived! And the East didnt. There was nobody clambering over, under, or through that wall to get from West to East. But for the wall, thats why you couldnt give the East Germans the television, because once they saw what was on the West side, theyd run through that wall.

And so, it took decades, sure. It was an imperfect process. But eventually, under the presidency of George H. W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan deserves a lot of credit himself, they did tear down that wall, as Reagan demanded of Gorbachev.

You cant underestimate young people today and maybe older people who dont forget or who forget their history do not recognize what was happening. That Cold War was not a war of bullets. Well, there were plenty of bullets. Satellite wars, Iran-contra, Sandinistas, and the Contras, Afghanistan, the mujahidin, Vietnam, the 38^th parallel. Yes, those were all military battles, or at least standoffs where there werent active battles. But the bigger battle was going on where ideology was at play. And not just ideology. Because people think of ideology, well, not just ideology, but economic theory. Economic theory doesnt get its due. Politics is downstream from culture. But its also downstream from economic theory which gets too little place at the table.

What America was doing was showing the world that opening markets creates a bigger pie so that youre not just redistributing. Youre actually building, creating, increasing exponentially the wealth. And eventually the world saw what worked at and didnt. And thats why countries clambered for what we did. Thats why we have caravans coming here in the first place!

Tony Blair, left of center, but somewhat moderate, former British Prime Minister, famously said, When I take the measure of America, when people ask me what I think of America, I judge a country by a very simple standard. Do more people want out or want in? And the whole world wants in. Thats why were having to repel invaders with tear gas. Its because this is the greatest nation on earth. And not our great welfare states theres a bigger one, plenty bigger ones, but because of the opportunity!

Not everybody coming here is a horrible person, theyre coming for opportunity. But we cant just give that opportunity to anyone. Its not the system. Its not how its structured. Its not right. And that too would create winners and losers. Winners of those who broke the law and tried to invade and throw rocks at the border patrol. And losers of those who we dont see because theyre not standing at the border. They are waiting in line at the embassy at their home country the way we told them to.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

What does this have to do with the messages of Our Lady? Why do we enter into these subjects? Because Our Ladys come here for everything, to enlighten us, to see truth, to understand truth, how to live right and correct. Our Ladys not telling us, Just live inside the Church and just pray and do nothing. Prayer and going to church has to result in the change of the culture. And the free market is based in what God ordained for us, to be free! For us to decide things, what we want to do, how we want to do it.

Its the love of money which is a problem, not money itself. And you need to be wise. And thats the purpose with the Miraculous Medjugorje Round, to sanctify your money. When you exchange that for goods and services, somebodys carrying the Miraculous Medal. Its clever, its smart. And thats what Our Lady said November 27, 1989, for you to be praying for those who carry the Miraculous Medal. Thats why I came up with it. Because Shes the one thats smart. Shes the one that wants us to sanctify everything on earth.

And She said, actually, a message, to use your material goods to bring people to salvation. Not for consumerism purposes, but for salvation and conversion.

[JASON: CENTURY SILVER MANAGER]

Thats the purpose of Century Silver, to be that wing that distributes the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Round with the dual purpose, sanctifying your wealth, preserving it, and spreading conversion to other people.

Theres one point Id like to bring up before the broadcast closes. Its something you said earlier, and we passed over it very quickly. But its the name that you gave the bitcoin. You called it an electronic nothing, and I think thats probably the perfect tag for bitcoin. But Id also think that could be extended to cash in the bank as well, and even extended even further to investment accounts like 401ks and IRAs.

But just to use an example that youve used before about cash in the bank, you said, Lets say you have $50,000 in the bank, and you go to the bank and you say, I want my $50,000 in cash. They simply dont even have it. It may take them three, four days just to get that cash. Youll probably have to go through paperwork, answer all kinds of questions about what youre going to use it for, where did it come from. You just have no idea when youre going to be able to get that cash.

So, in that sense, cash in the bank too might be very easily considered an electronic nothing. Its not there for you when you need it. There are billionaire investors out there, people who have been very successful buying and selling even stocks and bonds and things like that who will tell you outright, Holding cash in the bank is the worst place to keep your money because youre constantly losing through inflation and rising prices.

Silver, the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Round, are a great place to physically put what is an electronic nothing into something that you can hold in your hand, something that has always been historically a protection against inflation, something that preserves and sanctifies your wealth, but as weve said many times before is an avenue for spreading conversions.

If youd like to contact Century Silver Exchange, you can do so by calling toll-free, 1-877-936-7686. Thats (877) 936-7686. You can also visit centurysilver.com or email info@centurysilver.com.

Century Silver Exchange is a for-profit subsidiary of Caritas of Birmingham. It earns income and pays incomes taxes on that income and bears its own expenses. If there is any income leftover at the end of the year, it may give a dividend donation to Caritas of Birmingham to further its mission.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

And, this is not just a mission, this is part of our ministry, to get people in any way we can to conversion. The Miraculous Medal is proven, it does that. And that was the motivation. It wasnt to make money. And if there is any thatll be made, its for salvation. You heard on the clip that gold went up yesterday $1.14 per ounce. An ounce of gold is $1,227.73. If you converted that to what the price of silver, which is $14.33, that would buy you 85 ounces. If it went up $1.14, you just made $120. Silver is the way to go.

If the economy was to crash, something terrible happens, and something terrible is coming, the means of exchange will be silver. Its always been that way. Who wants to be carrying around gold? Thats a major, major purchase. So, its a practical thing. God gave it to us, and this is how it works.

So, reflect on what were talking about now. Weve went through a broadcast with many complicated situations, and thats where we are. Weve complicated the mind, chasing after money and dreams that cant come true. And were called to be different. This is what Our Ladys messages are about. You follow Her. Its the most solid foundation you can have because She cares about you, your future, and your eternal future. And all these things have a bearing on it. Which will you go? What will bring you joy? What will bring you sorrow? Were in a moment of seriousness. A moment of resolution. A moment of being sincere. A moment of being humble. And a moment of being efficient. This is the call of the day today. Thank you for responding to my call, She tells us.

We wish you Our Lady. We love you. Goodbye.
