Our Turn!
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. ~ Genesis 22:10-11
Did you know that God provides tests as measures of progress and proving grounds for every person He calls to lead? ~ John C. Maxwell, Exam Time
If you look back on your life and catalog all your Holy Spirit moments from earliest childhood to the present day, pray and meditate on it, you will discover the trail of God’s breadcrumbs leading to your purpose…
The number of people today who lack a strong sense of purpose is astounding…And as philosopher-poet Ralf Waldo Emerson said, “The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.” ~ John C. Maxwell, Seek God When Setting Goals. We all know a retired (fill in the blank) tycoon in Florida who has it all and is miserable because he’s gone nowhere.
Its NEVER too late…until it is. Even the miserable tycoon can retrace his footprints back to that moment when the Holy Spirit whispered, “Turn right,” and he veered left. ESPECIALLY if he’s fortunate enough to have married the Proverbs 31 wife who knows.
I myself was visited by Holy Spirit in two childhood dreams I experienced as nightmares between the ages of six and eight years old. The first was as a small child at the end of the long line of children being led from Hamelin and away from our parents by the Pied Piper…as the gate closed separating me from all my friends, everything, and everyone. The second, again, as a small child clinging for dear life on the bare back of a raging wild stallion, my small arms wrapped around his neck. And there were the two actual experiences as a young man; in the first I was the target of a demon possessed woman who literally charged at me in the middle of a crowed food court of a large metropolitan shopping mall, freezing everyone in their tracks as she got straight up in my face. In that instant something in me locked on to the demon in her and she was gone as fast as she came! And the time a mobster-turned-humanitarian I worked for in Louisiana who I’ve no doubt killed men as Al Capone’s former bodyguard pointed a gun at my head…ALL of this was God testing me, every bit of it. He was also preparing me to be part of a group of men who walked 13 miles on the day of President Trump’s inauguration…shadowing Antifa…He was grooming me, calling me to be a sheepdog…a protector. What all men used to be…
I recently posted a meme capturing the irony of two South Americans rescuing statues of the gods who cannot save them from the flood waters. A Libertarian friend posted the following: If you would act to prevent Old Glory 🇺🇸 — a mass-produced cloth — from falling to the floor, then you have a sense of what these people may be thinking. This happens to be a good man…a family man, and I believe a Christian man. But it reveals how most men today have softened their roles as men in the traditional sense. It is as Augustine would call the vice of effeminacy. We have become so quick to accept and tolerate anything and everything…Drag Queen Story Hours, the perfect example…EVIL…rather than risk the discomfort of offending. Equivalizing pagan statues with the “mass-produced-cloth” millions of Americans have risked their lives to defend, and for which hundreds of thousands gave the ultimate sacrifice. God help us!
Pastors…Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds {Pro. 27:23}. How are they looking Pastor? How many bold as lions Pastor {Pro. 28:1}? How are they holding up in our day of adversity Pastor {Pro. 24:10}?
(28:1) Paul’s prayer for himself (Eph. 6:18-19) and a description of the apostles’ conduct (Acts 4:13). Most Christians in America are “chicken livered”—yellow (see note on Pro. 24:10). ~ The Ruckman Reference Bible © 2009
A year or so ago my friend Eric Martin came up with the great idea to send a strong message to the enemy by making bumper stickers with the Mark 9:42 message “Christians Protect Kids! We’re in the Millstone Business Now. Eric paid for them out of his own pocket. I brought them to CLOTH meetings, WISP meetings, my own church. All for nothing…Today we will put up marquees, sing Battle Hymn of the Republic and My Country Tis of Thee, and tomorrow maybe we’ll go to parades to honor those who died for the freedom we can’t wait to surrender…hell, we lack the courage to put a bumper sticker on our cars…but we did send a message, yes we did.
Barely a whimper if any at all from church pulpits when Roe v Wade was overturned, and the silence is deafening around the J6 LIE! https://thewarontruthmovie.com/
I am wondering why I am actually going into a church this afternoon to watch the movie Letter to the American Church??? Please pray for me…
If your work, action, effort is of God, NO force in the universe can stop you!
Sean Feucht Under Demonic Attack ~ Fox Hole Prayer
Because the devil knows there are no men standing in his way!
Are you familiar with the ministry and publication of The Voice of the Martyrs, founded by the late Rev. Richard Wurmbrand? Our religious and political freedom is under unprecedented, deliberate and orchestrated attack, the freedom just taken for granted by so many, even among professing Christians! We honor all those who gave their lives for our freedom by first honoring the God of freedom! Always in the love of Christ, Pastor Steve Offringa!
This is our ultimate test as a nation…our final exam. If you’ve ever been bullied, then you remember that paralyzing fear…but you also remember that wonderful moment when that something inside you said, “Enough!” That something inside us is the ONLY King we take a knee to, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…our Founders realized it when they knit us together, trusted in Him, and turned to Him to beat the biggest bully on the block then…and now it’s our turn to do it again. If only one of us showed up on the Boston Commons, as one did in 1 Samuel 17, there is no power, no evil, no demonic force in the world that can defeat one man standing for Jesus!
Amen brother the time is now. Pastors for the sake of your flock and your own soul wake up and stand for Jesus and truth. “Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.” James 3:1
I’m reading a book about the life of Wurmbrand now. The Russians tried to break him through unspeakable torture, they couldn’t because he refused to bring shame on his Lord. Western evangelicalism can learn from him by rejecting comfort and replacing it with fearlessness.
Surely the righteous will never be shaken;
they will be remembered forever.
They will have no fear of bad news;
their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;
in the end they will look in triumph on their foes. Ps 112:6-8
I had this strange sense watching a pastor who ignored the James 3:1 warning fish for Pike upstate around 2018. It wasn’t the relaxed oneness with nature one might expect. I saw “escape” in the same exact way the German pastors led their flocks to sing louder to escape the screams coming from the train cattle cars…They know Woody, they know!
Chip, Murray, don’t be a coward…
