The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ SW #4 But THIS KIND…By Prayer & Fasting

Posted on October 9, 2022 by Chip Murray
“My people perish for lack of knowledge.” ~ Hosea 4:6

“But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 17:21)

SW #3 Re-cap

The Full Armor:

  • Christian men have been disarmed by the “half-gospel of hyper-grace” churches, as Pastor Earl Wallace refers to them, that tragically make up the solid majority here in the Hudson Valley of New York.
  • We are at war…start every day in the Word, Psalm 91 and Ephesians 6:10-20
  • It’s our shield of faith that fills our armor and extinguishes ALL the flaming arrows of the evil one.
  • The enemy uses Orange County as a child-trafficking hub under the noses of disarmed Christian men.
  • Modern prophet Robin Bullock explained the 4 ranks of the Ephesians 6:12 enemy.

This past week the Holy Spirit awakened me a little before 3am Wednesday morning. “Orange Strong needs to organize prayer teams to pray at the gates of homeowner/neighborhood associates and schools.” Five minutes later, I happened to look at my email to find IFA’s “Satanic Sacrifice in the South?” in my inbox. In this same week, three kids were shot at the Warwick v Newburgh high school football game in Newburg, while Goshen High School was locked down because of bomb threats, and their school dance shut down half-way through for the same.

The good news is that we now have OSNPT (Orange Strong Neighborhood Prayer Team), and our very first assignment. The bad news is that there are precious few if any David’s to be found in the ranks of men today…especially churchmen. Theresa, unaware of these things developing, sent me this that same morning: “What you do not occupy, will be occupied and used against you.” ~ Lance Wallnau …with her own note, “Time to go on the offensive!” Amen sister!! And far worse than that, the disarmed and undiscerning Christian men have blinded themselves to the tyrannical occupiers net…

Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others…will be to constitute a Bastia of Medical Science. All such laws are un-American and despotic and have no place in a republic. The Constitution of this Republic should make special privilege for medical freedom as well as religious freedom. ~ Dr. Benjamin Rush, Founding Father and signer of the Declaration of Independence, BardsFM, Turning Point

Thank God not all Christians are sleeping and/or hiding…

“The Lord has revealed discernment for our intercession. Satanic drug and sex traffickers cross our porous borders and practice deep levels of occultic activity in our communities to protect and perpetuate their evil activities.” “Headless Goats, The Occult, and Open Borders”

The sixty-million dollar question…

“What are you going to do? How are you going to stop it if you’ve missed the opportunity to stop it?” ~ Pastor Brad Cummings Pastor Brad Cummings (Founders’ Bible)

So, this past Friday I was blessed to attend the “Save the Nation Conference” kick-off to the 4-day Rod of Iron Freedom Festival in Newfoundland, PA., featuring great speakers on the following topics:

  • The Role of Churches in Saving the Nation
  • The Fight to Restore Election Integrity in our Republic
  • Returning our Nation to the Founders’ Constitutional Vision
  • The Communist Invasion of America

I thought to myself on Thursday, how many churchmen from Orange County will consider “saving their nation” worth a one-hour drive? After what I heard, saw, and learned yesterday, I realized the majority of churchmen in my county would never be able to face themselves in the mirror after hearing what these godly and spirit-of-David-filled men and women had to say.

Here’s what having the spirit-of-David, and a Rod of Iron spine looks and sounds like:

I really felt the need to express myself on another level when Trump was running for office, and I liked him. And every single person in Hollywood, from my ex-wife to my mother-in-law, to my manager at that time, to my so-called friends/handlers around me told me if I said I liked Trump, that my career would be over, that my life would be over…they threatened my life. They basically said that I would be killed for wearing the (MAGA) hat. Somebody called me last night saying anybody wearing a White Lives Matter shirt (he designed) is going to be green-lit (beat up), and I’m like, “OK, then green light-me then.” (Gets emotional here) You know God builds warriors in a different way.,,,I perform for an audience of one, and that’s God. Tucker Interviews Kanye

…and if that Rod of Iron wasn’t quite stiff enough for you, Matt Walsh’s response to the Left’s demands for his apology. “This Was The Right Response”

…which brings us to our SW #4 focus on what I believe is the most powerful weapon in the spiritual warrior’s arsenal: prayer and fasting. The first thing to consider is the clue the greatest Teacher on spiritual warfare has given us in Matthew 17:21. His disciples faced “this kind” of demonic spirit for the very first time and were unable to cast it out themselves. Sound familiar? Now, stop and think, why has the Word been watered down to exclude prayer and fasting as the most powerful weapon against the enemy in many if not most Bible translations of Matthew and Luke? Why is this weapon not supplied to us from the armory of our church pulpits? Cui bono? Who benefits? Theresa is exactly correct. NOW is the “time to go on the offensive! And the offensive weapon this enemy fears most is united corporate prayer and fasting from His Ekklesia. Dr. Ben Tapper discusses it in detail  in this great interview HERE.

We do a focused prayer and fast every Wednesday. If you are interested, please message me.

Blessed be the Lord, my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight. ~ Psalm 144:1

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ SW #3 The Full Armor

Posted on October 2, 2022 by Chip Murray
Before you set your foot on the ground each morning…

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. ~ Ephesians 6:11

SW #2 Re-cap:

Connecting to God:

  • Heart of God (Psalms)
  • Wisdom of God (Proverbs)
  • Listening to God (Joan of Arc)
  • Tough-mindedness (Standing for God)

A couple of weeks back when I had asked a young regular-church-attending man how he was doing, he replied, “Not so good…I lost my job.” According to my young friend, one of his co-workers initiated an argument…it escalated…he took the bait, and they were both fired. We prayed on the spot, and I suggested he begin his every day going forward, given our current Ecclesiastes 3-season, with Psalm 91 and Ephesians 6:10-20…before he sets one foot on the floor.

But how would he have known or thought to do this as a young man, like most young men, suffering severe malnourishment in the art, or even the idea of spiritual warfare and how to fight? But that fact is only one aspect of the Ephesians 6 coin. It is our Shield of Faith in His Word (Sword of the Spirit 6:17), that actually fills our Armor from head to toe. Would my young friend still have his job had he started that fateful day putting on his full armor? Only God can say. Did Job put on his full armor on the fateful morning of the day he lost everything? Only God can say. But we do know it was the faith of Job that saw him through it all.

Now, stop and think of what it means in a world of spiritually-disarmed Christian men facing this…

“You know that these predators are looking in Florida. Every time there’s a disaster like this there is opportunity to traffic kids. And no one is going to know. You’re gonna say, ‘I lost my child, what happened?’ I must have lost them in the storm and away they go. This is who they are. They create every one of these events in one way or another to be opportunistic…to ultimately do one thing. Traffic kids. Think about that. Wars create orphans. Natural Disasters create orphans. Birthing clinics create orphans. Where are they all going?” ~ Scott Kesterson/BardsFM, “Little Ones & Millstones”

…while gleefully and voluntarily hypodermically exterminating themselves! ~ Here Comes The Next Bioweapon!

…every ugly truth of it prophesied:

While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with a child, and they will not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of the night nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:3-6

If I had a dime for every Christian brother and sister literally dreaming of the Rapture in their sleep, I’d be a very wealthy man. Why is that brother Chip? Well, if you had spiritual eyes to see, you’d see the signs on the front doors of just about every church in America that reads, NO SPIRITUAL WEAPONS ALLOWED!

Jude warned us. The enemy needed us disarmed. The enemy needed us to forget who we are. And the enemy needed us to turn a deaf ear to the prophetic voice. I was recently attacked by a man we will simply refer to as Jimmy Neutron. It is the heart of Psalms, the wisdom of Proverbs, and the Full Armor of God that equips us to see that it is not Jimmy Neutron attacking us, it is the character(s) of the Ephesians 6:12 enemy behind Jimmy. There is no greater prophetic voice and teaching than what I have come to fully trust in Robin Bullock. Robin breaks down the 4 ranks of spirit, the 4 aspects and personalities of the enemy in 6:12, and how each one comes at us. How in the world is it possible to fight an enemy we don’t know, and can’t see? Please watch.

I want to leave you with the work of two fully armed (intellectually & spiritually) brothers I follow. The first is Jordan Peterson who gives his 12 Rules for Life for us as men to follow. And the second is Scott Kesterson in this great Bards episode describing how a great church and a good sheriff teamed up to confound tyranny in California. A MUST! This is Pastor Dave’s Church of Glad Tidings.

A Psalm (Heart) & Proverb (Wisdom) a Day Drives the Tyrant Away! PS 66:2 Sing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious, PR 30:4 Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son’s name? Surely you know!

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ SW # 2 The Heart of Wisdom & Tough-Mindedness

Posted on September 25, 2022 by Chip Murray
“so that she could fly into the wilderness” Revelation 12:14

A Psalm (Heart) & Proverb (Wisdom) a Day Drives The Tyrant Away! PS 60:2 You have made the land quake, You have split it open; Heal its breaches, for it totters. PR 24:4 And by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

SW#1 Re-cap:

  • We are at war.
  • We cannot win without boots on the ground.
  • No survival without revival.
  • God leads.
  • Ask Holy Spirit.

A soldier once asked Joan of Arc why God only talked to her. “God talks to everybody. I just listen.”, was her reply. This ties in to Frank B’s question in comments last week:                      My misunderstanding of the message comes from Romans. Different gifts are given to men. The verse from Romans, above, speaks of a gift every man has. The message clearly says that most Christian men are not standing up during this critical time. Are we all expected to have the same viewpoint as to what is the right thing to do when most that I know are following God‘s word?

And brother Frank’s question ques up Pastor Earl’s response to SW#1:

In Three-Dimensional Leadership, we teach “people hire people that are like themselves. People reflect the values and characteristics of their leader, and people hire those who reflect their characteristics and values.”

     If you ask the average pastor why he entered ministry, and he likely will say, “I just wanted to help people.” That is, they are motivated by the gifts of mercy and helps. When someone graduates from seminary, having been instructed mostly by other mercy driven people, they have not been focused on the tough mindedness necessary to teach the whole Word of God from the whole counsel of God.

    Thus, we end up with people teaching/preaching a half-gospel of hyper grace! They teach from the New Testament only, and (85-95% of the time), and put forth a salvation without repentance and a discipleship that gives the impression that God is an errand boy who’ll satisfy your every desire as you seek your personal humanistic horizon of self-fulfillment.

     Every Biblical Spiritual Gift is manifested in people who have flaws from our Old Sin Natures.  The character flaw of many mercy-driven people is the “need to be needed.”  Their tendency is toward being people pleasers. They often will say, “I’m a reconciler of diverse opinions.” They don’t want to offend anyone, and easily compromise truth to make and have peace with all in the ecumenical sandbox!

(I encourage any of you in the Capital Region who might be seeking a church to look no further than this Good Shepherd’s  Liberty Christian Fellowship)

In other words, to quote Oliver Hardy’s famous line, this fine mess we find ourselves in is largely due to church shepherds conforming their flocks to the will of men rather than the heart of God. So, yes Frank B, tragically most churchmen today have “the same viewpoint” because they’ve followed men who preach God’s half-word. We need a Pete Seeger reprise, “Where have all the stout-hearted men gone? Gone to half-churches every one!”

Trust me when I say, for it is not me saying it, there is no greater tragedy to the fate of western civilization than the yield of the half-church harvest…

They’ve become shrinking violets in the light of patriot spirit. They’ve loaded their children onto yellow cattle-cars to Neverland. They’ve turned the temple of their bodies and the bodies of their children into mRNA laboratories and access portals to the mark by their own uninformed consent. They’ve turned their deaf ears to the prophetic voice of God.

SW # 2

The Holy Bible is the Word of God. The Spiritual Warrior’s “Sword of the Spirit” as we know from Ephesians 6:17.

So, this week’s SW deals with the perfect balance of heart (Psalms) and wisdom (Proverbs) in men made in the image of God, which He connected to toughmindedness through Pastor Earl. I’ll start with heart. A week ago, this past Friday as I was rehearsing with our praise team at Howells Church, something made me look up to the beautiful church ceiling and I felt myself singing (the song “Rest”) to God. In that moment I realized He made us not only because He wanted friends, He made us so that He could experience Himself through us. Sister Felicia, who wrote “Rest”, and her husband are moving to Springfield, Missouri this week, so last Sunday Howells paid special tribute to Felicia and Walter, bestowing Walter with the title Eder at Large. And before we sang “Rest” I shared the fact that God is smiling ear to ear when Felicia sings to Him…which the entire congregation, including Walter, understood perfectly. Now, the very next morning I see this amazing video of a mother singing to her baby, and as I listened to the lyrics I realized she was singing to God, and you could actually see God overwhelmed with perfect joy in the expression of the baby as the mother sang! “God talks to everybody. I just listen.” .” Singing to God!

This same day, He segued from heart to wisdom to toughmindedness in the Governor DeSantis sends 48 illegal migrants to Martha’s Vineyard story…creating an exploding bonanza in meme world. While most everybody is focused on the strategic brilliance of this move by the Florida Governor, our Orange Strong sister Christine (a serial hugger) calls our attention to the need for compassion for the illegal migrants who are people just like us who happen to find themselves as political pawns…caught in the middle of this epic and crazy war of the worlds 2.0…

This is where we need to pay close attention to how God works through us to have both the heart of compassion, as well as the wisdom and toughmindedness to expose the lies and hypocrisy of the enemy, which in the end will bring, revival, peace, and restoration to the nations. Check out this short clip and behold the Psalms/Proverbs-nourished MAN God made us to be!

We’ll close today’s SW with the prophetic voice of Dutch Sheets on “Connecting With The Heart Of God”, taking us from the man (Psalmist) after God’s own heart: David’s ultimate success in spite of his colossal failures should bring hope to all of us…to the writer of Amazing Grace, former slave-trader, John Newton: The song could not have carried us to such heights had not the man sank to such depths. Dutch concludes, The greatness of (Newton’s) sin was no match for the greatness of God’s grace.

Please tune in next Sunday! He has already given me SW#3…the Full Armor is MUCH more than we’ve been led to believe.

My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you. Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you. Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your foot from evil. ~ Psalm 4:20-27

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ SW #1 – Boots On Ground vs Over Your Skis

Posted on September 18, 2022 by Chip Murray
The Men We Were Made To Be

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. ~ Proverbs 3:5-6

If a man’s gift is prophesying. Let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. ~ Romans 12:6-8

I wrote on my FB wall on Thursday, MEN…until you step up, we are screwed. It got a bunch more likes than usual which tells us something. It has hit me like the proverbial ton of bricks why so many men are missing in action. The modern church, absent Holy Spirit, and quite literally serving another master, has disarmed most Christians who have no idea we are at war, that it is a spiritual war, and/or how to engage an enemy that is murdering us and corrupting the souls of our children at this very moment…as I watch a yellow school bus drive by.

…and then I come across this post from my friend Lisa posted a few days earlier:

PSA: We do indeed have a masculinity crisis in the United States; a complete erosion of masculinity.  The radical left is ‘running a play’ to seize control of and dismantle absolutely everything in your life worth living for and some of you are completely content daydreaming about the start of fantasy football season. 

—Every child, WORLDWIDE

I need to be clear, some if not most of the men reading these words are Remnant Men, especially since God had me shake the dust a couple of weeks back, so I’m preaching to the choir in the case of these brothers standing tall against the enemy.

We are made, as men, “in the image of God” (Genesis 1:26) Living life as a man made in the image of God is joyful, powerful, and kingly…in the good king sense of course. It’s humble…the heart of a servant, with the moral strength and John 15:13 love of the good shepherd. The rest of you, it grieves me to say, are slaves to a beast you haven’t met yet, wearing chains you have yet to feel. I would encourage you to stay with me through this series. My hope and prayer is that you will, in so doing, reclaim what has been slowly stripped away without your even knowing. I can safely promise you this. Your wives will remember why they married you, your Father will prepare a Luke 15:23 feast for you, and your children will live in a better world! Please share with every man you know…

SO, MEN, I have a small request, and a proposition. I’m going to ask you to please watch this Tucker Carlson from the other night: This Is What The Collapse Of Civilization Looks Like This is coming to our neighborhoods! The women have been holding the line long enough, don’t you think? So, my proposition is this…hang in with me for at least the next six weeks as I present the SW (Spiritual Warfare) Series for your consideration. The very first fact is this. Many if not most spiritual battles are won without physical violence for the simple reason that most wolves, when engaged by sheepdogs, will move on to the easier prey. So, Father God, I pray for every man reading these words to weigh them in their hearts and souls, and appeal to you for your guidance in each and every unique situation. Amen.

SW (Spiritual Warfare), Lesson #1

The Cross of Jesus Christ stands unique and alone. His Cross is not our cross. Our cross is that we manifest before the world the fact that we are sanctified to do nothing but the will of God. ~ Oswald Chambers, His Cross versus My Cross

My assumption at this point is that everyone who watched the Tucker piece above realizes we are in a state of war…

The first fact of life and cardinal rule in ALL warfare, physical and spiritual: it is impossible to win a war without boots on the ground! Now, I placed the Proverbs and Romans passages together up top because there is a paradox in their pairing. Many of us who ski understand the warning to not get out over our skis, which in spiritual warfare translates to knowing whether our action is Holy Spirit-ordered, or a result of “our own understanding”. The standard rule is, if in doubt, don’t.

The following is a recent exchange between myself and a good shepherd over the “Dominion Theology” argument (excuse) against standing…against manhood itself!

Sheepdog: If I was the wolf (devil), one of the first things I would do…if not THE first, would be devise a tool called Dominion Theology because nothing says “stay off my mountains” better than Dominion Theology! 

Shepherd: There’s all kinds of demonic alterations or twistings of the Gospel – “dominion”, “prosperity”, “liberation”, etc!  Paul seriously warns against it in Galatians One! 

There is no future or survival for America without God. There is no survival without revival…unless, of course, you are content to live in the metaverse hell. Our church (Howells) is dedicating the entire next weekend, September 23-25 to Seeking the Lord For Revival. I encourage you to watch the first four and a half minutes of what Dr. Corne Bekker refers to as our “Time of Spiritual Reckoning”

And the amazing prophetic vision of Chuck Pierce as Dutch Sheets’ Give Him 15 guest the other day, “Going Up Higher”

The messages of Adams, Bekker, and Pierce are very, very encouraging as far as God’s part goes. But, as in Bible time, after time, after time and again, He works through MEN. The “impotent church” they refer to is nothing but wood, stone, and hollow men. I encourage every single one of us to see the season we are in and ask the Holy Spirit to search our hearts…

Please join us back here next Sunday to dive into SW #2 on the importance of heart and wisdom in spiritual warfare. Today’s Psalm 55:2 deals with distraction. Think of how the enemy distracts us. Armed with the Psalms heart and Proverbs wisdom we can easily discern the rider of the first of the four horses from the Proverbs Fool.

Freedom is never so precious as when you realize you no longer have it. Justice is never so important as it is when you seek it, and it cannot be found. It may never seem quite so remarkable as when it is found in the hands of someone more powerful than you. What then? ~ The Founders’ Bible, Our Biblical Right to Confrontation

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ “If It Walks Like A Duck…”

Posted on September 11, 2022 by Chip Murray
“over ALL the power of the enemy”

“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.” ~ Luke 10:19

I posted this C&C piece on FB the other day, leading to the follow-up exchange:

“Finally! I’ve been waiting FOREVER for someone to do a comparative blood study of jabbed versus unjabbed blood, and yesterday (9/7), the Epoch Times — which has been tearing the vaccines a new one lately — ran a story headlined, ‘Study Found ‘Foreign Metal-Like Objects’ in 94 Percent of Sample Group of Symptomatic People Who Took mRNA Vaccines: Italian Doctors.’ The sub-head explains, ‘Among a study sample of over 1,000 people who developed symptoms, researchers found ‘graphene-family super-structures’” ~  Coffee & Covid

Unfortunately, you can’t trust ANYTHING published in the Epoch Times. You might as well use the National Enquirer as your source. I always knew that just from reading the very slanted stories they wrote, but then I read one I wasn’t sure about. So I went to the actual study they referenced, and found that its real conclusions were completely different from what Epoch Times reported. ~ Jewish Liberal Environmentalist

Aren’t you glad you trust only the REAL truthful news so you knew better than to take the experimental mRNA injection for a non-virus virus with a 99% survival rate? ~ Christian Patriot

I am glad that I trusted the REAL truthful news, and more importantly, the science, and DID get the vaccine and boosters. It’s given me true peace of mind and I’ve stayed covid-free. ~ Jewish Liberal Environmentalist

Zactly! Praying for you bro! ~ Christian Patriot

Meanwhile, back at The Epoch Times ranch ~ Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2022 edition:

  • Adults Aged 35-44 Died at Twice the Expected Rate Last Summer: Data/Society of Actuaries of 2.3 million life insurance claims…
  • Most Babies, Toddlers Suffer ‘Systemic Reaction’ After Covid Vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Sept. 1
  • “Parents are starting to recognize boys’ (men’s)struggles in a society that recognizes boyhood (manhood) as some social disease that needs eradicating.” Mark Hancock, CEO Trail Life USA

So, we have Jewish Liberal Environmentalists (trusting “the science”) walking voluntarily into the modern-day death showers while the solid majority of Christian men are self-eradicating in their cones of silence, many of whom, lacking discernment, walked into the same showers (Holy Spirit does not indwell cones of silence). There is ONE word that explains it all: Communism. If it walks like a Communist…

Nature abhors a vacuum. ~ Aristotle

My people perish for lack of knowledge. ~ Hosea 4:6

The Communists knew that in order to form their perfect union, they first had to destroy ours. How? Step 1 – Take the churches (God) out of the equation. Step 2 – Take over public education. Step 3 – Take control of the information (media)

The good news is God, the creator of ALL life, abhors Communism as the greatest destroyer of life in history. And He is bringing the Great Awakening to finally drive the wooden stake through the heart of the most evil criminal cabal in human history. People are waking up to realize how steps 1-3 blinded their ability to see that by taking the sweet-lure-bait calling itself We the People Warwick, they are feeding their children to the very monster illustrated above. Much the same, it pains me to say, as putting them on all those yellow buses today. I said to a friend…a wonderful sister…a registered nurse who was terminated for refusing to yield to the monster, “I don’t know which is harder to watch; mothers sending their children to school, or their parents to the hospital.”

“If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” ~ Joshua 24:15

If a miserable wretch like me can learn to discern, hear, and trust in the Lord…ANY one can! Duncan the Kilted Christian filled in for Scott Kesterson the other night. His message and personal testimony was SO powerful and timely.  How God Speaks To Us

In the meantime,

“Lord have mercy on this modern-day man!” ~  Josh Williams

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ “His Honor”

Posted on September 4, 2022 by Chip Murray
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; ~ Proverbs 28:28

God saves a man and endues him with His Holy Spirit, and says in effect, “Now it is up to you to prove it, work it out; be loyal to Me while the nature of things around you would make you disloyal. I have called you friends, now stand loyal to your Friend.” His honor is at stake in our bodily life. ~ Oswald Chambers, Fruitfulness of Friendship

I started to title this morning’s message Cowardice, but He told me the title needed to be something more positive. There are few things more sacred to me than honor, and there is nothing in this life more worth living and dying for than “His honor”. Of course, the exact polar opposite of that would be cowardice. It pains me to say the following, but it needs to be said. The greatest concentration of cowardice today is in our churches. Period. I woke up to this wonderful FB post from a Minisink sister urging all New Yorkers to end the evil in Albany with their vote this November…prompting: I hate to say this but it’s going to take way more than voting to save our state. It is going to take men willing to be men again…and churches willing to be churches again. The sad fact is there are more cowards hiding behind the cross…and the insane construct of “Dominion Theology” planted by the devil himself, than most any other institution in our country. There are few of us more cunning or clever than cowards! WE ALL need to be salt where the distaste is, light where the darkness is, and TRUTH where the liars are…NOT hiding in our pulpits! And yes…certainly, we must VOTE!

Can there possible be a greater Proverbs fool than the mind foolish enough to swallow the beware Dominion Theology hook? “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” ~ Genesis 1:26 (KJV)

Like Costner’s character said in Open Range, “There are things that gnaw on a man worse than dying.” People scared of Covid??? That’s a COLD! Cowardice is the pandemic that’s killing us! And churches of all places! Oh…I see plenty of Esther’s, Ruth’s, Rahab’s, and Abigail’s…but precious few David’s, Joshua’s, and Caleb’s. What do you suppose the male-to-female ratio is of attorneys in New York? If not for ONE woman (Bobbie Anne Cox) who stood up, we would have had Concentration Camps in New York!

This week’s P&FW invite which featured IFA’s We’re Being Groomed for the Antichrist” …     The worldwide reaction to the Covid-19 crisis served, I believe, as a “global grooming” for the advent of the Antichrist. Seeing the Church’s response, I have wondered if we — the people of Jesus — are ready for the real deal. How many of us donned a piece of cloth across our faces whenever mandated? How many of us submitted reluctantly to uncertain medical treatment to keep a job? How many of us locked ourselves away in our houses, hoping someone else would deal with the ailing and suffering ones? ~ We’re Being Groomed for the Antichrist”

I have a newsflash people…Honor is ungroomable! Men being the men God made us to be are ungroommable. How long will we allow women to do the standing, fighting, and bleeding for us? The “Fruitfulness of Friendship”? How many of us think of ourselves as good Christians…attend church every Sunday…refrain from cussing…read our Bibles and so on? But how can a single one of us who avoids and refuses to be the salt, the light, and the truth where He needs us most dare to think of Him as our Friend? That is no less of a head-fake lie to the Holy Spirit…NO…in fact that is a far greater lie to the Holy Spirit than the one told by Ananias and his wife Sapphira in Acts 5.

I must confess that I was hopeful last December when the church folk showed up to see Pastor Steve honored at our Orange Strong Christmas Party…only to disappear again. I have news brothers. Death will surely come for those who wait, while honor rides out to meet his fate.

It’s Time!

A Psalm (Heart) & Proverb (Wisdom) a Day Drives The Tyrant Away! PS 42:2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God;

When shall I come and appear before God?

PR 6:4,5 Give no sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids;

Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand

And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ Our Legacy?

Posted on August 28, 2022 by Chip Murray
It Is Done

For when he dies he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him. ~ Psalm 49:17

Our longsuffering God crossed the sheep/goats grain/chaff threshold this week. I say this with a fair degree of certainty as He clearly instructed me to shake the Luke 9:5 dust from my sandals where the CINO (Christian In Name Only) are concerned. Their Psalm 49:17 legacy stands in sharp contrast to the uplifting Proverb 23:18 from this week’s P&FW.

When they smile and tell you they had all their (quacks) and feel great and recite a canned prayer after you pray from your heart…In the very same week you join the Facebook group Died Suddenly News and the trailer of Mel’s new movie is released, its time to shake the dust and move on brothers and sisters…God knows!

There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off…is God speaking to His remnant. He’s speaking to His eyes-wide-open Acts 4 Ekklesia of believers, riding high on the confidence and boldness ONLY the Holy Spirit can bring…in the face of darkness and evil straight from the bowels of hell…and heartbreakingly testified to on Died Suddenly News. Twenty-seven months is more than a long nap…its willful blindness plain and simple. Game on!

From this moment on the light of heaven and heaven’s angels will carry the day. They will lift the hearts of Nick St. John in Nevada and Sheriff Damon Devereaux in Logan County Oklahoma as they restore integrity to local government while deflecting all arrows and removing all snares that would prevent the birthing of the Eagle Classical Christian Academy in Orange County, New York. They will lift up His anointed shepherds Kamal Saleem, Austin Kreutz, and our own Steve Offringa…The Psalmist cried, ‘WILT THOU NOT REVIVE US AGAIN; THAT THY PEOPLE MAY REJOICE IN THEE?  SHEW US THY MERCY, O LORD, AND GRANT US THY SALVATION” (PSALM 85:6-7)!  Should this not also be the sincere cry of God’s people today, a cry above all else for a genuine revival, sovereignly sent by the Holy Spirit?  Such a desperately needed revival only comes in response to an individual or people who are truly hungry and thirsty for the Lord Himself, as expressed by the writer of Psalm 42!  Such a revival must be deeply needed and desired, and it is not religiously created or orchestrated by the best of human efforts!  It is not merely a series of well delivered lectures about revival, nor is it produced by some paid academic who again delivers a favorite and well-rehearsed sermon!  Revival is not about religious art forms, pulpit theatrics, “cool” personalities or professional showboating of any kind in the house of God!  It is instead about a divine visitation from the Lord by His Spirit, in response to a people who need and desire, for example, an Isaiah 6 encounter with Him – one of deep conviction confession, and of cleansing, in order to be right with Him and ready for His use!  Revival is not easy or entertaining, but it certainly results in the joy of the Lord for all those who are truly reconciled and restored to Him, and also to each other as needed!  True revival is for God’s people, a work of conviction, confession, of cleansing and consecration; of sanctification and healing, and of preparation for vibrant witness, especially in the midst of expected affliction! 

Mark this day well my brothers and sisters. It is the first day of our eternal life and the legacy we were made to leave!

“that the God”, as Paul writes in Ephesians 1:17,18, “of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,”

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ Climb Every Mountain…All Seven!

Posted on August 21, 2022 by Chip Murray
Reclamation of America

When I heard you had turned your mind to a defense of infidelity, I felt myself astonished, and more grieved that you had attempted a measure so injurious to the feelings and so repugnant to the true interest of so great a part of the citizens of the United States. The people of New England, if you will allow me to use a scripture phrase, are fast returning to their “first love” [Revelation 2:4]…Do you think that your pen—or the pen of any other man—can unChristianize the mass of our citizens? Or have you hopes of converting a few of them to assist you in so bad a cause? ~ Sam Adams to Thomas Paine for publishing The Age of Reason after Franklin’s urging him not to.

In spite of the warnings, admonitions, and condemnations from nearly every last one of his patriot peers, our nation rose and has now fallen into its own deadly age of reason. From the glory of In God We Trust as One Nation Under God to an Orwellian…or as the boys from Unconstrained Analytics put it last week, the Platonic Nightmare. The Left…or better to call the spade…the Communists loved Paine so much they showed his one-man propaganda play in Warwick seven or eight years ago now, To Begin the World Over Again with Ian Ruskin as Thomas Paine ranting for a painful hour about his evil slave-owning co-founders. So, what did man’s reason bring us? A government now run by the most hideously evil slave-trading criminals the world has ever known! We lost our country…but that is not the end of the story.

The week before I went to Maryland as one of 50 Christian American Patriots to attend the 4-day Reclamation of America conference under the banner Serve God, Defend Liberty, I was blessed to receive the Johnny Enlow book RISE, a reformers handbook for the Seven Mountains. It was God’s affirming connection to the great thinkers behind Unconstrained Analytics who showed us how we lost the Seven Mountains…the once great American Citadels, and true men of God like Dr. John Diamond who understands how God, working through His Ekklesia    WILL reclaim them, ALL seven of them! Media, Family, Arts & Entertainment, Economy, Religion, Education, and yes, our Government.

As the Bible tells us in Ephesians 6 our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of darkness…the principalities. In Enlow’s fabulous book RISE, he lays out the demonic principalities and connects them to the seven nations the Israelites needed to conquer in order to achieve the Promised Land, and the seven archangels who will fight for us as we fight to reclaim our own promised land. So, on the Education Mountain so near and dear to my own heart, the demonic principality is no less than Beelzebub (Lord of the Flies) himself. The Amorites (humanism) is the nation (ideas) we have to conquer. “Flies are attracted to rotten food and humanism along with rationalism, agnosticism, and atheism are similarly rotten and poisonous to us and society as well. The demonic strategy was and still is the same—to tempt us to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which opens up to all of those ideas that sound intellectually appealing, but their end is death to everything good.” Raziel, our archangel on this mountain, means “secret, or secrets of God”. His name reveals his assignment which is to assist in restoring the image of God in the earth as Teacher.

Here is the key my brothers and sisters. As we learned in Maryland, Satan used the Hegelian Dialectic to steal what God meant for us, using reason (all about me) to seal the deal…or so he thought. Which, in yet another affirmation, leads to this morning’s Oswald Chambers: I can never sanctify to God that with which I long to satisfy myself…I have to sacrifice them, pour them out,

So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the Lord. ~ 2 Samuel 23:16

It’s time my brothers and sisters! It’s time to RISE and to Climb Every Mountain!

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ “Protect & Defend”

Posted on August 14, 2022 by Chip Murray
Serving God, Defending Liberty

And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered; and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice. ~ 1 Kings 3:28 from John C. Maxwell, Become a Momentum Maker

This has been one of the most transforming and rewarding weeks of my life. It began with a 4-day Reclamation of America Conference in Maryland and ended with a sixty-car End the CCP rally in Mt. Hope, New York. In Maryland we learned from the intelligence experts of Unconstrained Analytics what we’ve lost and how we lost it…exactly as KGB defector Uri Bezmenov warned us it would happen in 1993! (listen at the 8:24min mark) MOST importantly in Maryland this week…we learned how to stop it. God is turning the enemy’s active measures into desperate measures as we saw demonstrated this week in Mar-a-Lago. If you listen to Nancy Pelosi’s crazy explanation of the Mar-a-Lago raid as an attempt to “Protect & Defend” the American People (at the 16:05min mark) you begin to realize we the people have the momentum and they know it! Their “concern as always” is to defend and protect themselves. Anyone who believes otherwise at this point in time, I’ve got another “vaccine” from Fauci to sell you!

They may have killed the father of Unconstrained Analytics, American patriot Rich Higgins who was one of three advisors to President Trump fired by the traitor H.R. McMaster for attempting to warn our President of the infiltration into his administration by Radical Islam and Cultural Marxism, but they only fueled the momentum of the Reclamation of America movement under the banner Serve God, Defend Liberty. Sixty-plus cars of American and Mt. Hope Chinese Association patriots carried that momentum across the western half of Orange County yesterday, rolling out the pure evil of the Chinese Communist Party for all to see. We truly have God’s wind in our sails. On the other hand, the CCP is losing its grip on their own. “Unfortunately for Xi, many Chinese youths are jumping ship. They seek something more than his “high ideals.” Many young people are well educated, and some work high-paying jobs. However, the pressures to survive in a highly competitive workplace have taken their toll. Many people just want out.”

“Narratives” are the tools of the devil. We gave the enemy power by buying into them, accepting their lies, and speaking their language. Those days are over now as the sleeping giant is finally opening his eyes. The enemy wants us in the binary bi-polar battlespace he created. God’s power is unlimited and multi-dimensional TRUTH. So, while they desperately work to goad us into a civil war so they can call in their blue helmets, we will apply ALL of our energy, love, and passion for building and executing our plan to serve God and defend liberty. Let us pray!

Father, we pray against any and all plans of the enemy to implement tyranny in our nation. Preserve our freedoms, God, as laid out in our founding documents. Amen

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ Why Jesus Chose “Ekklesia”

Posted on August 7, 2022 by Chip Murray
While We Wait On God, God Waits On Us!

Jesus said, “I will build My church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.”                     ~ Matthew 16:18

“The interesting thing here about the word translated “church” is that Jesus chose the Greek word Ekklesia. It was not a religious word, which was in keeping with Jesus’ general way of communicating. The words for church of that day were temple (hieron) or synagogue (synagogue). However, Jesus didn’t say, “I will build my temple.” Nor “I will build my synagogue.” He intentionally used a non-religious Greek word that was very well known in the context of civic duty. Ekklesia means “a gathering of citizens called out of their homes into some public place of the council for the purpose of deliberating on public matters.” ~ Johnny & Elizabeth Enlow, RISE

The Enlow quote fits neatly between the safe harbor image today’s church can’t seem to find its way out of, and the uplifting message from a member of the Ekklesia who sent both to our group of folks who are very much engaged in the civic duty of deliberating on public matters.

Dear friends, I just want to take a moment to encourage everyone who feels deflated, who feels as though they have nothing left to give, who feels like the fight is just too big. I think it’s important to remind ourselves that fear never comes from God nor does discouragement. We are in unprecedented times, and I truly believe that God is going to move mightily through His people.

Would you join me today in consciously releasing any fears, any discouragements into the hands of our Almighty God and loving Heavenly Father?

Would you join me and asking him to fill us with the kind of courage that he filled the hearts of the giants of the faith, who were nothing more than we are mortals just as we are? The courage of David, the courage of Esther, the courage of Daniel…

 May we all be living sacrifices willing to pour our lives out for the cause that is close to HIS heart, for advocating for the vulnerable, for fighting for truth , for protecting our children and viewing the well-being of every man, woman and child as our solemn responsibility as believers.

The time to dig in and run hard is now.

I believe God will reveal to each and every one of us what role He has us to play in bringing this state to Him and pleading for His healing over our land. I pray that we will all have hearts open to what He is telling us to do and the courage to step forward.

od promises that His mercies are new every morning and that He will renew our strength as the Eagles. I pray that we will lean into those promises today and feel the wind returned to your sails.

For the state I love,

Abbey

I see a lot of amazing and courageous women in the fight. Christian men? Few and far between, and don’t the devil know it! It is how he is able to do the evil he does. He is poisoning the minds and bodies of these little ones while sexually grooming them right under their noses knowing full well they lack the moral courage to come out of their safe harbors to put an end to it.

Moral Courage ~ Inaction or action taken based on what’s right, regardless of the consequences.

Moral Cowardice ~ Inaction or action taken based on anticipated consequence regardless of what’s right.

Scott Kesterson, as usual, did a GREAT job calling out the missing Watchmen on his show the other night. You want to know what I have observed over the past two and a half years? The most troubled, hurting, broken, fearful people I know are those in the safe harbor churches, indifferent to public affairs. Largely, I believe, due to the fact that the captains of their ships have made a 501©3 deal with the devil…and it has cost them and every soul on board BIG. It cost them the divine healing and regenerative power of the Holy Spirit.

That’s OK…God will do amazing wonders with the Abby’s and his remnant Ekklesia, who know no other way to go…

When you come to work for Jesus Christ, always ask yourself, “Do I believe Jesus Christ can do anything for that case?” Am I as confident in His power as He is in His own? If you deal with people without any faith in Jesus Christ it will crush the very life out of you. If we believe in Jesus Christ, we can face every problem the world holds. ~ Oswald Chambers, He Knew What Was In Man
