The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ “Are You Not A Man?”

“Conquer we must. And Conquer we shall!”

And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord. ~ 1 Samuel 26:15

Those who receive my P&FW Invites know that I came under a spiritual attack on Good Friday by the spirits of cowardice, comfort, fear, and deception which rule the Laodicean church. It was in direct response to my speaking the truth to this church and the churchmen in it, “SO…in love, God compels me to be truthful. You men are the most lost men I have ever met in my life. I know each of you well enough to know that collectively you have fashioned a bubble for yourselves to the point that while the devil is devouring your own children…you further delight him by joining the world in censoring Christian men…My old pastor looked me square in the eyes in 2020 and said, ‘This is not my fight.’ All I can say to each of you when your day comes is good luck with that defense. Here’s a prediction…given the current trajectory of things. I will die sooner than most of you, but I will live longer than all of you.” So dear friends, this was the predictable Laodicean response: “The doctrine of Jesus Christ is clear about love and unity, not hate and discord.” Half-truth motivated by the spirits of cowardice, comfort, fear, and deception…the fuel of the lukewarm Laodicean. In hindsight, it is no wonder that I was taken out of play which caused me to miss posting my Tune-up on Resurrection Sunday…the only time that has happened since its 2012 inception. Last Sunday’s intended focus? The masculinity of Christ!

God is speaking to every man through David in the 1 Samuel passage above TODAY! “Who is like thee in Israel? We, the sons of the King most high are! The enemy is moving to destroy the king our LORD. Wherefore then are we? These are the words of a man, the ruling spirits of the Laodicean fear for the ears of churchmen to hear:

“2020 marked the end of the church age, and the beginning of the kingdom age…I am the church. I will engage the church. I will become the church. I serve the God of adventure. The (Laodicean) audience wants sweet infant-baby-Ricky-Bobby-Jesus. They don’t want strong Jesus. They want soft Jesus. They want the faith that doesn’t challenge you, doesn’t push you, doesn’t compel you…doesn’t speak up. You just be a nice, good Christian…when Jesus doesn’t need you to be nice…How could it cost God everything to love us, and cost us nothing to love Him back? …He needs you to be men of God, men of faith…with dangerous faith. So, why are men being attacked so much, especially now? Because, if the man is taken out, you can’t defend your own house, your family, your children. You can’t defend the house of God or the faith. He is love. He is LORD. He is commander. ‘God is love’ is found 4 times in the Bible. ‘God is LORD’ is found 400 times! The church is teaching you a version of Jesus that is not the full complete version. You need to come out of her! This soft tepid timid Jesus doesn’t exist. Deuteronomy 23:1, if you have no balls as a man, there is no place for you in the house of God. Cowardice is the #1 thing God hates {Rev. 21:8}. Today’s Laodicean church and churchmen are working for the other team.” ~ Stephen Prouse,  Are You Not A Man?

“Working for the other team,” whether they realize it or not. Their own cowardice, fear, and in this case, self-deception, has confined them in low altitude echo-chamber bubbles where they actually see themselves as men of valor who offer up their empty sacrifices to a God who sees through their charade…while the true men of valor…the Joshua’s, the Caleb’s, the David’s earnestly contend for the faith {Jude 1:3} to take the higher ground… “We may think it a gloomy fact that we cannot settle the questions that beckon us to the highest places. Churchill does not. Rather it is ‘more wonderful than any[thing] that Science can reveal,’ and it ‘gives the best hope that all will be well.’ Even when we deal with forces that are ‘terrific’ and ‘devastating,’ our ‘hearts will ache’ and our ‘lives will be barren’ without ‘a vision above material things.’ No powerful Science, and no Nazi, can erase that fact or satisfy that need. Resistance to despotism is therefore written in the nature of man…For Churchill, practice makes no sense apart from the principles of right, and they have no protection except in the rule of law. The statesman is the guardian of all things that supply the end of all action. Those principles cannot protect themselves against the likes of Hitler, unless someone as strong and fierce as he fights on their behalf.” ~ Churchill’s Trial, Larry P. Arnn

No words can describe my contempt and utter disdain for cowardice, and PLEASE, let me be crystal clear. Cowardice, which is to say the spirit of cowardice, NOT the coward himself. In fact, I love them as a grieving parent who loves a child who is missing a limb or organ…or more accurately if you consider God’s word in Deut. 23:1, leprosy. Why? Because man in such a condition poses a direct threat to the kingdom of God. God delivered His pre-eclipse message of Hope, Revelation, Warning, and Instruction last week. Hope for His faithfully engaged, Revelation of true colors under fire, Warning to the cowards and false shepherds, and Instruction for His Remnant: “We are the Church. We will engage the Church. We will become the Church.” ~ Stephen Prouse…wherefore then, are we?

“Where have all the good men gone, long time passing? Where have all the good men gone, long time ago? Where have all the good men gone, waiting on their ‘Hall Pass’ every one. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?” My tandem hat tip to Pete Seeger and Stephen Prouse. Hall Pass is the clever term Prouse applies to those men of the church, so called, who’ve taken the Premillennial Dispensation (Pre-Tribulation Rapture) bait. You just might want to know a little bit more about the man behind so convenient a lure. Father of the Favorite Lie!

Winston Churchill’s 1st speech as Prime Minister, May 19, 1940 ~ “Be Ye Men Of Valour”

Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts. ~ Winston Churchill

I am closing today’s Tune-up with a remarkable appeal made by a man who is as hated by the establishment today as Churchill was in his time, in this our darkest hour. What is amazing to me is the fact that while the men of Britian in 1940 had no personal computers, or iPhones, or internet, every man knew the hour. Sadly, and tragically, that is not the case with men today. We have come to rely on the world to tell us the hour…through the corporate media, the internet, our hand-held devices, the nefarious likes of John Darby and false shepherds playing for the other team. Is President Trump our Churchill? I don’t know. What I see and hear, and you will too if you watch and listen closely, is God speaking to His churchmen through the voice of 1 Samuel 26:15 David speaking to Abner…

“We must defend God in the public square…Make America Pray Again!” ~ President Donald J. Trump

    H5N1 may give us a do over on 2020 only God knows. Will the church repent and lay aside it’s ‘form of godliness’ and harness the reckless abandon through the Spirit or cave to itching ears? The way we’ll know if we’re living and speaking truth is through the measuring stick of persecution. (2 Tim 3:12) Jehovah is looking for a warrior class (Eph 6) who will be His watchman on the wall (Isa 62:6) and not be compromised by pleasures and comfort. Souls on a path for perdition are crying out.
