…And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the Lord and with men…  ~ 1 Samuel 2:26

I need you to listen to just eight minutes of the Bards podcast from last Thursday night to understand the scope of evil and deception threatening our entire civilization in this hour. Please listen from 5:55min mark to 13:45 The Illusion of Nation States

And this, brothers and sisters, is how they’ve managed to do what they’ve managed to do…up to this point.  “Take out the men.”

Yesterday I attended a prayer breakfast in Yonkers organized by IFA (Intercessors For America) to call out and pray for an end to abortion and child sex trafficking. Of the thirty or so attending, there were only three men who showed up.

I am going to share my opinion of where we are and what we are facing. To make it easier to explain, I will break our society into three equal groups. A third have no idea whatsoever of any of what is going on around them. Their focus is on their own daily needs and pleasures and they will follow any authority they believe will continue to supply their needs and pleasures. Then there is the one third who understand we are in a war…an info-war on our own soil. A war of white hats against black hats…good versus evil. This is an interesting group because of its potential. It is a divided group of people once evenly divided with half thinking that the black hats were fighting for them. As people are waking up to the evil that has been forced out into the light of day, the balance is rapidly shifting to favor those in the white hat bleachers. I use the term bleachers because of the fact that up until now this entire third has been passive, observers, spectators in this most important moment in the history of mankind. I say potential because once this group engages the war will be nearly won. That leaves the final third. Remember, I made the groups equal to keep it simple. The final third is smaller than the first two. This group understands that the binary white vs black is an illusion meant to keep us in the bleachers. This group believes that Schwab’s Great Reset and Trump’s MAGA are two sides of the same coin, both seeking their own versions of total top-down control of our lives. This group believes that we were not created by God to be enslaved by either…which brings us to the title of today’s Tune-up…in the light of Maxwell’s “Room to Grow”.

Evil began constructing the aquarium to contain men around the same time it created the feminist movement here in America. Who knew? “The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free.” ~ Aldous Huxley

When I first recognized the wolf in sheep’s clothing in our local governments and social institutions, which sadly and tragically included churches, and started to call them out, I had a local businessman say to me, “These people will destroy you!” That was probably 8-10 years ago. I’m still here!  

“I thoroughly believe…that people who think they’ll be safe by going along with evil and not causing trouble, or putting themselves at risk, are not going to be safe.” ~ Dr. Naomi Wolfe

I can tell you from my own personal experience and observations that Dr. Wolfe is only half right. Not only are those who ignore the call God puts on their heart facing the very thing they’re seeking to avoid, they lose God’s favor in just about all aspects of their lives. In other words, God rewards those who risk themselves for others. I had a brother once who liked to talk about how he would “man the ramparts” when the time came. He had that opportunity when were called to be part of a team of men to shadow and, if need be, interrupt Antifa and other bad actors’ attempts to block President Trump’s motorcade from the Capitol Building to the Whitehouse after President Trump’s Inauguration in 2017. We knew what we knew because one of our guys had infiltrated Antifa and had been attending their meetings leading up to the event. My brother declined the opportunity when the time came because, “My wife doesn’t want me to go.” Who knows if that was true or not? God. I had another brother share just the other day that the fear of what they might do to his family is what holds him back. Who knows whether or not that is the real truth, or the head-fake so many men living inside the aquarium are able to give ourselves? God knows. Here is what I do know. If this was the thinking of men before the aquarium was built, George Washington would never have formed an army two hundred and forty-seven years ago, and Eisenhower would have had no men to fill the landing crafts that stormed Normandy to free the world seventy-nine years ago.

Why does God tell us to “fear not” 365 times in the Bible?

 “If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace; and this single reflection, well applied, is sufficient to awaken every man to duty.” ~ Thomas Paine

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. —Martin Niemöller

I will tell you why I am still here. First and foremost, I am still here because it is God’s will for me to still be here, and I don’t believe He’s finished with me yet. But, I am also still here because the enemy knows, and/or has found out what it has/had to go through to get to me. Its time to rise my brothers, and remember Costner’s line in the Open Range, “There’s things that gnaw on a man worse than dying.”  It’s as good a day as any to bust out of the tank and “grow in stature”, Amen?
