My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil. ~ Proverbs 4:20-27

Today is not just any day, and I am not just any son. For I am, along with my brothers and sisters who have labored these past eight-and one-half months to prepare the ground for this day, sons and daughters of the King Most High. And as such, we are given His authority as stewards of this worldly realm He has born us into and chosen us out of.

Stewardship ~
: the office, duties, and obligations of a steward…

: the conducting, supervising, or managing of something…

especially: the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care.

Our world gone mad has nothing to do with us…but we, by our God-given authority, have everything to do with it. And the absolute horror of this decadent freak show of immoral oblivion our country has deformed into is the direct result of our having abandoned our office, duties, and obligations…to the point we nearly lost our John 17:21 Revival by attempting to cancel three of the bravest defenders of our office, duties, and obligations! As Jude foretold them, earnest contenders for the faith. By God’s grace and the precious gift of His discernment, we pondered our path and held our ground. The very same discernment that saved the ONLY family in Jericho (Joshua 2:9, 6:22,23).

As Howells shepherd Pastor Steve preached a few weeks ago, Revival that comes of the Holy Spirit seeing us in the state of our desperation, involves repentance, reconciliation, and restoration. Surely there can be no reconciliation without repentance. And there can be no repentance without assuming full accountability and responsibility for the fact that our deviation from the Proverbs 4:20-27 path by what Dutch Sheets refers to as an “irrelevant” and “disabled church” has led us into the hellish quagmire of double-mindedness, half-hearted weakness, and fearfulness. It is the church, church pastors, and churchmen who need to repent, if we’re to have any hope of reclaiming our authority as sons of the King Most High. True restoration has to start with us in order to return the church, His Ecclesia, to its rightful place as THE moral authority of the nation God intended us to be…a nation now barely on life support.   

A true believer shared with me on Friday that his 22-year-old son shocked him and his wife a short while back when he confessed his lack of believing in the Word of God. That’s on us as men of the church! We had a remarkable special prayer service at Howells Church last night that included a special treat from Songs of Revival which will be performed today at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center, a powerful message on Revival from Pastor Tim Mercaldo, and prayer for Revival and all involved today from 11-5pm in Poughkeepsie. We especially prayed for all the lost, hurting, and suffering souls seeking love, light, beauty, and truth in a world that just seems to grow darker by the day.

Only God knows what today will bring. While we have seen many, many signs and wonders affirming His hand in choosing this time and place…

(Haggai 2:18-19)…the far greater question as it pertains to our survival and posterity is, “What is He seeing in us?”

Whether or not this is the beginning of a Great Revival, it is only a good start of a great commission for the CLOTH (Christian Leaders Of The Hudson). There was a welcoming message of well wishes and move towards reconciliation last night from friends the enemy tried to separate us from. The enemy is panicked knowing his best efforts to derail us have failed, and our trajectory and momentum towards the realization of John 17:21 oneness is unstoppable! Next stop, the return of a Godly education with the Eagle Classical Christian Academy! All we need now are for a few good men to return to the game and step up to be the Sons and Stewards God made them to be! Amen?
