…while you are able.

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.  ~ 2 Thessalonians 3:6

It’s nearly impossible to overstate the remarkable nature of the times we are living in. I am in the book of Job via Chambers’ My Utmost Devotional Bible. As Peter Ruckman states, “No Christian could find a more profitable book in the Bible to study than Job.” Why? My favorite verse 13:15, Though he slay me, yet will I trust him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. I love this verse because it reminds me of Pastor Artur Pawlowski’s visit to our church last May when he preached, You need to be willing to walk into the (Daniel 3:24-25) fire if you want to see Jesus. So instead of lying to accommodate the sanctimonious needs of his friends, Job stuck to the facts as he knew them to be, and just as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, he was rewarded by God in the end.  God is so almighty simple that it is impossible to complicate Him.   (Conformed) ~ From Oswald Chambers, The Sense of Perverseness (Job 21:1–22:30)…it is the enemy who makes the simple appear complicated.

Derek Prince tells us that the only power Satan has is what people give him through ignorance, fear, and sin. But we know through His Word that God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7). We seem to be approaching the middle of the hourglass which raises the Matthew 7:13-14 “narrow gate” vision to my mind. What is the most important job, if not only job He gave us hours before the ascension? So important, in fact, He commanded Peter three times (John 21:15-17): Feed my sheep.

If you haven’t taken the time yet to view the Catherine Austine Fitts OMNIWAR: THE BRAIN and her interview with Tucker Carlson which are both linked in last Sunday’s The Helmet of Salvation, I am urging you to please do so. NOWHERE in the Bible are we told to bury our heads in the sand, but that is exactly what the church has done. As Pastor Dave put it so well in the panel discussion on Child-Sex-Trafficking last week, “People don’t want to know because knowing, we are morally bound to act.” Knowledge is exactly the first course of the 2 Tim. 1:7 three-course meal! Why? Because it defeats the first course of the three-course meal Satan feeds us to enslave us! As the Fitts mantra so perfectly states, “IF WE CAN FACE IT WE CAN FIX IT!” And as Dr. Lissa Johnson adds, we need to know to understand what we are facing.

The two main theaters of war are Church and State. Here are two remarkable first-course dishes that will empower you to face what is coming. This first is a remarkable discussion between Walter Veith and Martin Smith from the Church perspective. ~ PROJECT 2025

The second I received from my cousin Steve who is very much in-the-fight in Utah only yesterday. There could not be a more accurate and inspiring message on where we are right now in this most crucial moment in history from the State perspective: From my cousin Steve yesterday, “Until last week, we thought Steve Bannon was just another pundit. After Sandy and I watched his April 2025 address at Hillsdale College, we realized that he has compelling insights into what has happened to our nation, as well as what to expect going forward. For that reason, we want to share this with you.” ~ Steve Bannon at Hillsdale College

Here is the bottom line as I see it to help bring this all together. As Steve Bannon so passionately and eloquently points out, Larry Arn is right; America is on the brink of an 1860 Civil War moment. Because the church has buried its head, the Jezebel spirit has risen to power on all seven of our cultural mountains. We have a Jehu in the White House, but as Bannon warns, that is not enough. Men, and churchmen in particular, need to find their inner Jehu…which brings us to this final message on Authority vs Influence: Pastor Landon Schott

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. ~ Psalm 71:4

It is happening…the enemy is seen and knows it. The same enemy that has us deal by not dealing, the same enemy that has rendered us ineffectual through our own choices of avoidance over confrontation, safety over risk… Our Deliverance

Jezebel does not want to give up her power, but she has no power over the Luke 10:19 Christian. She has no power over the James 4:7 Christian, or the Colossians 2:15 Christian, or the 2 Timothy 1:7, or the churchman who is washed in the Blood of Revelation 12:11 Lamb. So who are the disorderly Paul is calling us to withdraw ourselves from in 2 Thessalonians 3:6? They are the horizontal grains in The REAL ID Hourglass…the Matthew 13:24-30 tares. You will know them by their fruits (Matthew 7:15-20)

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!
