The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ God Is Calling In His Saints, “Brace For Impact!”

Posted on January 16, 2022 by Chip Murray
Imagine, had He said, “What Storm?”

And with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:10

There are none so blind as the worshippers of Covidism. Mass Formation Psychosis helps to explain what is taking place before our eyes. MK-Ultra and MK-Naomi do as well. But there is something deeper in play that enables all three. How do you reach the senses of that old high school friend you sent a dozen articles and videos to back in the Spring warning people not to take the vaccine that’s not a vaccine to prevent a virus that’s not a virus, who took it anyway, and now this week is suffering from the virus that’s not a virus, and remains blind to the deception of wickedness?

The Anatomy of Evil ~ Dr. David Martin

If we go back to the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness, which is actually more appropriately described to us as Jesus’ gift to us to be able to see the anatomy of evil. And if we called it that, we actually come out better than the story we tell. Let’s unpack it. Evil always does the same three alchemical trades. The first one is the stones to bread trade. It takes a thing in relative abundance, stones, and says you need to make something that’s valuable to you, so you take the created order and you turn it into something that is defined by your lack, or your desire, or your need. So that’s evil’s first trick. By the way, evil always uses that first trick to take you off your path…so it takes something that is in abundance and turns it into YOU need to define your scarcity and need to solve your scarcity.

The second trick: I’m going to deprive you of fellowship, deprive you of community, deprive you of connection in exchange for technology. In Jesus’ story what was that? It’s, I’m going to take you to the highest spire in the temple, I’m going to tell you to throw yourself off, and I’m going to rely on the technology of angels to catch you. Evil always uses that trick where it says I’m going to take you out of your fellowship, take you out of your organic connection, and I’m going to put you away, and I’m going to let technology intermediate…that’s always the second trick.

And the third trick is the ultimate defiling of sacred essence. What was that in Jesus’ case? I’m going to take you to the highest mountain, show you all the kingdoms of the world, and I’m going to say if you bow down to me, I’ll give you the kingdoms of the world. So, here’s the problem. The problem is if Jesus ever knelt in the face of evil, Jesus’ essence would have been permanently defiled. Therefore, Jesus would not be able to access the kingdoms of the world! Listen, if you think that trading your genetics for an airline ticket is worth getting a shot, you are taking that third deal. You will not be the one showing up on that beach in Cancun. You will not be the one showing up at the Eiffel Tower. You won’t be you, because you will have defiled your essence to get a thing. There is no trade worth defiling the sacred order. NEVER! https://www.podbean.com/live/nevgT8wTwV?action=openLiveRoom&channel_id=nevgT8wTwV&live_task_id=EmdYktOwC6J&lsid=EmdYktOwC6J&utm_campaign=w_share_ls&utm_medium=dlink&utm_source=w_share Long…but worth every precious second!

“Be ready in season and out of season;” What does that mean to you? Is 2 Timothy 4:2 not God’s job description for every shepherd who has taken charge over every precious soul in his flock? Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.  

We had a most interesting discussion amongst the brethren of believers on Friday. The discussion evolved around the lack of Ephesians 6:19 bold truth in the pulpit as it might relate to the local pastors’ lamenting people not showing up to church or prayer services. I pointed out that a local Communist school superintendent peddling pornography and cultural Marxism to elementary school children, defended by a local pastor who happens to be the school board president is able to destroy souls because they know the majority of pastors have abandoned their stations when it comes to bold truth. I asked why, in the middle of the attempted Communist takeover of our country, am I aware of only ONE local pastor who has rebuked Communism from his station? “They’re overwhelmed”, was the response. Yes…I suppose one could say that the slaughter of the sheep, physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually in REAL time can be overwhelming. It’s as if the terrified disciples attempted to awaken Jesus in the stern of the boat at the height of the storm only to hear him say, “What storm?”   

All Communism needs to exist is for good men to forget their history…

The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: that God governs in the affairs of men. ~ Benjamin Franklin

Let us contemplate our forefathers [the past]–and posterity [the future], and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former for the sake of the latter. ~ Samuel Adams

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging the future but by the past. ~ Patrick Henry

Our season is now, our Lord is near, and He is calling in those who will heed His call, take up their posts, and be a party to the deception of wickedness no more. Rather, be the light when and where it is needed most! And, in the words of a most recent prophesy, “Brace for impact!”

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ The Most Clear & Present Danger In History!

Posted on January 9, 2022 by Chip Murray
paul and tychicus, wood engraving, published in 1877 - paul in prison stock illustrations
Thank God He Never Waited!

AT that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. ~ Daniel 12:1-3

A friend writes IMO, NOBODY…NOT ONE SINGLE CHILD OF GOD ON THIS PLANET would have WILLINGLY allowed themselves to be brainwashed into believing the demonic, corrupt & depraved Globalist narrative currently in play… they were UNWITTINGLY brainwashed and turned into pawns in this epic Biblical battle against “principalities”. She goes on to encourage empathy and prayer rather than “mocking and deriding their mass psychosis” as the Christian thing to do, which as a Christian I completely agree with. In fact, while I don’t have the statistics to back this up, I believe that Christians likely comprising the largest segment of the un-duped and un-jabbed population are themselves far more likely to be the targets of the mocking and deriding. She sent her note with this very chilling article from Mike Adams on what we un-jabbed can expect from the jabbed in the days ahead. We are now witnessing the early signs of the dreaded vaccine zombie apocalypse: Raging “mask Karens,” personality changes, violent behavior and animalistic lower brain stem lunacy

Interestingly, at the same time the same friend emailed me the Times Union editor’s response to her claim of scant news coverage of our protest in Albany this past Wednesday, wherein he refers to the 4,000 patriots who showed up in the freezing cold as “hundreds of conspiracy theorists” endangering the lives of their fellow New Yorkers.

My dear brothers and sisters, God’s longsuffering patience has an expiration date. The same God who wiped out the entire population of the earth, save one family; the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, save one family; the city of Jericho, save one family, is the very same God who holds the fate of a people who have murdered over 40 million of its own babies year-to-date in His hands this very day. And He spoke through me just this week, as clear as day, in what I interpreted as a final warning…please don’t forget, I, and many like me have been the steady watchmen on this wall since 2009. Klaus Schwab & Co. stating their “Great Reset” plan publicly is as much a conspiracy theory as your next breath of air! In fact, it is THE most Clear & Present Danger in the entire history of clear and present dangers!

“You have put your fear, faith, and trust in man before your fear, faith, and trust in Me. You are submitting to the will of Satan and surrendering your children to emotional and physical harm, sentenced without medical or scientific evidence to spend their most formative childhood years behind a mask. Many of you have defiled My Temple with gene-altering technologies and toxins designed to separate My sheep from their Shepherd, and destroy My creation…out of FEAR and “want”. Many of you either plan the same for your children, or have already done so. “Vaccine Passport” is a COMPLIANCE ticket to hell! STOP, REPENT, and SEEK MY FORGIVENESS NOW!”

“Just as Schwab and the WEF predicted, the COVID crisis has accelerated the Great Reset. Monopolistic corporations have consolidated their grip on the economy from above, while socialism continues to advance for the rest of us below. In partnership with Big Digital, Big Pharma, the mainstream media, national and international health agencies, and compliant populations, hitherto democratic Western states—think especially of Australia, New Zealand, and Austria—are being transformed into totalitarian regimes modeled after China.” What Is the Great Reset?

A decorated nurse identifies pure evil… “People dying of Covid should be considered murdered.”

For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light. ~ Mark 4:22

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

“Behold, I have given you authority…” to do what? “over ALL the power of the enemy,” to… wait for what?

Yes, I know, my best days are behind me too. So what?

One should have had power when wits were sharp, sinews strong. When youth departs may wisdom prove enough. ~ Winston Churchill in the Darkest Hour…absolutely love this man!

A mother lays down her life for her child and for her home, but there is nothing advertised in her doing it…This is what Jesus Christ has done in His redemptive work. “By this we know love, because He has laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for our brethren.” ~ Oswald Chambers, Made Into Bread For Others

Our Pastor Steve’s preparational devotion for today…

Good evening, my dear brethren, in the precious and victorious Name of Jesus, our Savior, Lord, and coming King!  As we prepare our hearts for worship on tomorrow, Sunday, January 9, 2022, I believe that God wants us to honestly ask ourselves some most important and unavoidable questions – as individual believers, as a church, and as citizens of the nation in which we live!  Before Almighty God and His Word of truth, what choices and decisions have you sincerely made?  Very simply, I wish to refer you to the words of Moses (Deuteronomy 29:19); of Joshua (24:15); of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Daniel 3:14-18); of Daniel himself (6:10); of Elijah (1 Kings 18:21); and many more!  Think of Esther (against Haman); of John the Baptist (before Herod); of Peter & John (before the Sanhedrin); of Paul (before Agrippa & Festus); of all the martyred apostles and believers over the centuries (see Hebrews 11:32-40); and of the persecuted church today around the world!  Think, too, of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who stood against hatred and paid with his life!  Daniel “purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat…”(1:8), and Nehemiah would not give in to the insults and intimidation of Sanballat, Tobiah, and of others working against him and the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls!  Contrary to the enemy’s lies, these were not the rebellious, the lawless, and the insurrectionists, the enemies, or the causes of their national problems, as wicked Ahab falsely accused Elijah of being (1 Kings 18:17-18)!  Anyone who has not truly “purposed in his heart” to follow the Lord, but instead to “save” his own life, at the expense of truth, will in the process of compromise eventually lose what he has tried to save!  May God deliver us from all complacency, indifference, and from any form of ambivalence when it comes to His truth and standing against the rampant forces of darkness!  Whether we live or die, let us stand for Christ and His Word and Gospel in this critical hour of spiritual, moral and political battle – united in love, standing on the promises, instant in prayer and fervent in witness, letting nothing discourage or divide us, in Jesus! mighty Name!

But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. ~ Philippians 1:12-14

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ God Has Promised His Guidance

Posted on January 2, 2022 by Chip Murray
“To Win”

So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. ~ Ezekiel 33:7-9

My brother from another mother posted this perfect word-for-word description of my own childhood on Facebook this week:

“I grew up in a small town in NJ, I was raised by middle income parents during a time when most everyone treated each other with respect. We didn’t eat a lot of fast food because it was considered a treat, not a food group. We drank Kool-Aid made from water that came from our kitchen sink with real sugar. We ate bologna sandwiches, or even tuna (which was in a can not a pouch), PB&J & grilled cheese sandwiches, hot dogs, pot pies, but mostly homemade meals consisting of mainly meat, potatoes, vegetable, bread & butter, and homemade dessert.

We grew up during a time when we mowed lawns, pulled weeds, babysat, helped neighbors with chores to be able to earn our own money. we went outside a lot to play games, ride bikes, red rover, dodge ball, run with siblings and friends & played hide and seek. We drank tap water from the hose outside… bottled water was unheard of. If we had a coke -it was in a glass bottle … and we took the empties back to the store for a 5-cent deposit.

We watched TV shows like Bonanza, Leave It To Beaver, Gilligan’s Island, Happy Days, Bewitched, The Brady Bunch, Little House On The Prairie, and I Love Lucy. After school, we came home and did homework and chores before going outside or having friends over. We would ride our bikes for hours. We had to tell our parents where we were going, who we were going with, and what time we’d be back.

You LEARNED from your parents instead of disrespecting them and treating them as if they knew absolutely nothing. What they said was LAW and you did not question it, and you had better know it!!!

When the sun was starting to set you had better be home. In school we said the Pledge of Allegiance, we stood for the National Anthem and listened to our teachers.

We watched what we said around our elders because we knew if we DISRESPECTED any grown-up we would get our behinds whipped, it wasn’t called abuse, it was called discipline! We held doors, carried groceries and gave up our seat for an older person without being asked. You didn’t hear curse words on the radio in songs or TV, and if you cursed and got caught you had a bar of soap stuck in your mouth and had to stand in the corner. ‘Please, thank you, yes please, no thank you’ were part of our daily vocabulary!

You grew up to respect the Nation, the flag, and the President, NO MATTER who it was or what party they were from.

Re-post if you’re thankful for your childhood and will never forget where you came from & the time you came from! Wouldn’t it be nice if it were possible to get back to this way of life? I really liked that life!”

So, as Dorothy famously said, “Toto I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” Actually, its really more of a Twilight Zone “Fog of War” where truth has all but disappeared. This past week a friend sent me the 12/26 sermon preached by a local pastor wanting to know my thoughts about it. My own mentor in the faith summed it up perfectly, “He is one of the many pastors who’ve bought the ‘separation of church and state’ lie.” And the transformation from the Camelot of our childhood to the virtual hell in which we find ourselves is the very price we paid for the surrender of Truth in our nation’s pulpits. In fact, the last King of Camelot saw the enemy who sold the lie, attempted to warn us, and paid for it with his life…

We in this country, in this generation are, by destiny rather than choice, the watchmen on the walls of world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of “peace on earth, goodwill toward men.” That must always be our goal. For as was written long ago, “Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” ~ The last paragraph of the speech JFK would have given in Dallas on November 22nd, 1963

It gives me tremendous pleasure to say we honored a most humble servant of the Lord this past Wednesday in Chester, New York by recognizing Pastor Steve Offringa, who has been shepherding at Howells Church for the past 42 years, with the Orange Strong “Good Shepherd of the Year Award”, because there can be no preservation of our communities without preservation of Truth in our pulpits, and the Matthew 5:13-16 Light and Salt in our Ecclesia.

So, dear brothers and sisters, while so many will bend a knee and follow the lie, God will empower His Remnant to, as Pastor Brad Cummings put it so well, continue to build and advance His kingdom…

“I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, And crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, And not forsake them.” ~ Isaiah 42:16

…and as I said to more than a few friends this week, “bet on the White Horse to WIN in 2022”…because God never breaks His promises!

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in Righteousness He judges and makes war….And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses….And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords. ~ Revelation 19:11, 14-16

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ The Fresh Air of Conviviality

Posted on December 26, 2021 by Chip Murray
Then…there was a light in the world.

So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. ~ Psalm 78:72

So David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” ~ 2 Samuel 12:13

Show me a King with integrity and discernment, and I’ll show you the fresh air of a convivial people!

con·viv·i·al·i·ty

/kənˌvivēˈalədē/

noun

  • 1.the quality of being friendly and lively; friendliness: “the conviviality of the evening”

Conviviality, or Convivialism, is the ability of individuals to interact creatively and autonomously with others and their environment to satisfy their own needs. en.wikipedia.org

I’ve dedicated myself to putting words together in this space for the past 12 years now. And as fate would have it, a new friend gave me a new word this week…new to me I should say. AND in the same message, she gave me a new writer of words to follow. How great a Christmas present is that!!

“Healing is impossible in loneliness; it is the opposite of loneliness. Conviviality is healing. To be healed we must come with all the other creatures to the feast of Creation.
(pg.99, “The Body and the Earth”)” ~ Wendell Berry, The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays  

I don’t think she would mind my sharing the circumstance that brought this about, especially as it might very well serve as a life raft to others caught in the same tide of human suffering. I am blessed by God to be associated with some very remarkable and accomplished people…in one particular circle, people who love God, freedom, and children in a most passionate way. God connected me in a very loving way to two sisters this week…both of them teachers, one a professor…both of them touched my heart beyond words.

All of humanity is caught in an evil snare, a trap conspired generations ago, baited and set in our lifetime, leaving the remnant few like myself and my two new sisters to watch as those we love choose hell for the sake of the world. My heart broke twice this week…once for the professor who broke down in tears describing the isolation and pain of being the only one in her circle of family and friends who hasn’t jumped on board the “jab” wagon. And later in the week for the young teacher disinvited from her own family’s Christmas gathering because of her un-vaxxed status.

This came in an email from Matt Staver of Liberty Counsel yesterday…

“Just got off the phone a man who was weeping because he’s afraid that he will lose his medical insurance or his job, which would cause him to lose medical insurance, and his wife has MS. I hung up and cried.” ~ Suzanne, my assistant.

The opening Psalm and 2 Samuel scripture verses pointed me to the qualities of integrity and discernment that made David the good king, and a blessing to his people…qualities lacking in his predecessor, King Saul. I think most people would agree we are currently living under the rule of the latter…a dark global power propping up a puppet king…a king whose Christmas greeting was a “winter of death” to those of us standing for freedom.

Then, (one Christmas morning), there was a light in the world, and a man from Galilee saying, Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s…Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. ~ In Hoc Anno Domini, Vermont Royster 1949

I don’t have sufficient data to confirm what I believe is proving itself to be absolutely true, but the people standing fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free appear to be benefiting from better health, happiness, luck, safety, and protection than those around us who, for all sorts of reasons, are choosing not to. The professor who gave me the fresh air of conviviality for my simple act of consoling her in her pain enabled me to pass on the same to the young teacher who, with her guitar, became the light of our Christmas gathering yesterday.

The great New Testament conception of heaven is “hereafter” without the sin, “new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells”—a conception beyond us. Peter is reminding every Christian that there is an undefiled inheritance awaiting us which has never yet been realized and that it has in it all we have ever hoped or dreamed or imagined, and a good deal more. It is always “better to come” in the Christian life until the “best of all” comes. ~ Oswald Chambers, The Undefiled Inheritance

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ The Faith of Our Fathers “For Such A Time As This”

Posted on December 19, 2021 by Chip Murray
“You’re Not Alone.”

BY faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,” concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense. ~ Hebrews 11:17-19 ~ If you have faith, prove it by your life. ~ (Conformed) Oswald Chambers, Strenuous Satisfaction

I had the amazing experience of traveling to the Sight & Sound Theater in Lancaster PA to see “Queen Esther” this past Friday night with 8 of my Orange Strong brothers and sisters, and three soon-to-be recruits. Seeing the play about the heroine who proved her 17th verse of Hebrews 11 faith, in the 17th book of the Bible, on the 17th day of the month was one of the most incredible nights of my life. If you’ve been to the Sight & Sound, you’ll be a lot closer to understanding than most. Let’s just say, the 17th shined the light on love, purpose, faith, and commitment.

For those who don’t know Esther is the story of one of the many times in history the Jews were targeted for extermination by an evil (Haman) very similar to the evil we are facing in this world at this very hour. Esther’s uncle Mordecai refused to comply, submit, or bow to it. Queen Esther, realizing her purpose, was prepared to die for her people and God, when she acted to save them.

The thing about evil now, just as evil then, is nothing new under the sun. Evil wants to be God. Now, just as then, evil appears poised for success…especially when we look around us and see so many of our fellow Americans going along to get along, wearing germ-trapping masks alone in their cars, allowing them to be forced on their children, high-fiving themselves for allowing Big Pharmakeia to inject unknown ingredients into their bodies and the bodies of their children, while politicians and public school administrators rake in the cash, and wolves in shepherd’s clothing like John Torres of Good Will Church in Montgomery, and John T. Redman of Union Presbyterian Church in Newburgh lead their peers, un-rebuked, on the path of betrayal, submission, and compliance, serving up their congregations to the will of Baal.

And yet, there remains a remnant of those of us who see the evil for what it is, realize our purpose “for such a time as this” with the faith to stand, and the commitment to see it through… because we know, as Queen Esther said at the very end, we are “not alone”. The other thing that occurred to me in the middle of the night my brothers and sisters, inspired by the faith of Esther, is that our task is to highlight the fact that the REAL battle is in the unseen “against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” It’s not our families, friends, and neighbors who see us as selfish for refusing the “jab”, it’s that which is behind them that has blinded them to their own selfishness, fear, and lack of faith for having done so.

  • Pharmakeia is connected to fear, sorcery, idolatry, and adultery in a strong religious bond of faith.
  • Sorcery and Pharmakeia are used by heads of state throughout the Bible, and by all the kings of the earth at the end of time.
  • Pharmakeia uses poison which has adverse effects of harming through severe organ damage or death if it is ingested, breathed in, injected, or absorbed under the skin.
  • Pharmakeia is associated with abortion, child/human sacrifice, and animal sacrifice.
  • Those who engage in pharmakeia are preparing, distributing, and administering these substances and practices and/or receiving them.
  • Pharmakeia is a false hope and deception of false peace, false healing and a false future.
  • Participation in sorcery activities without repentance prevents a person of receiving the Holy Spirit.
  • Participation in pharmakeia without repentance forfeits a person’s right to enter the Kingdom of God.
  • Participation in pharmakeia without repentance places people in danger of the lake of fire, which is the second death.

In this, my 69th year, I can tell you our sons do not have the faith of our fathers. That is on us and there is not a blessed thing we can do about it now. But we know now what none of us knew then. Evil can only succeed if we allow it to…which raises the question of commitment. The hen was involved—the pig was committed. “The Kamikaze pilot who was able to fly fifty missions was involved—but never committed.” ~ John C. Maxwell, December 19th, Ask for Commitment. Are you committed…for such a time as this? The Spirit of David never waited on the answer…

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ “The People Who Are Counted In”

Posted on December 12, 2021 by Chip Murray
…A Very, Very Wide Road!

The rod [NKJV, scepter] means two things—it is used in counting in the sheep, and it is used to destroy the wild beast that suddenly springs out on the sheep (Ps.25:4). The man of sin will have his rod, he will do clever tricks, he will put the mark of the beast on every business system that he sanctions, and those who do not have that mark on them can never do business under the regime of the man of sin. Suppose you find that the people who are “counted in” under the mark of the beast succeed, and you do not succeed, you may be tempted to negotiate the thing and say, “Well, I don’t know, if I did this thing it would save me; I had better just compromise a bit.” We must never do that. “The [rod] of the wicked shall not rest on the righteous,” God says. There is no need to fear, if we keep within the moral frontiers of God we can say boldly, “The Lord is my helper.” We do not need to mind how the wicked bluster and say, “If you don’t do this and that, you will starve.” Be faithful, make holiness your aim, holiness in every relationship—money, food, clothes, friendship—then you will see the Lord in all those domains. ~ Oswald Chambers, The Rod of the Wicked NOTE: Chambers died in 1917

I had two chilling conversations with two different members of the “counted in” community. The first was a call I received from a man I worked with from 1994 up until the day I retired in December of last year. He and I shared the experience of being raised Christian, Catholic in his case, both married Jewish women, and raised children (1-boy, 1 girl), step-children in my case, in Liberal Reform Temples. He, his wife, and his children have all allowed themselves to be “counted in”, in his case three times.

The other conversation was in-person Friday night with an older gentleman, a saved believer like myself…which made it more chilling for me. He allowed himself to be “counted in” in order to be able to minister to others. At least this is what he tells himself and told me. “We need to stop talking about this and focus on Jesus,” he went on, building his case. I could see the defeat in his eyes as he realized the feebleness of his argument after less than three minutes of facts…the numbers…the children.

This is the list I came up with after a night of prayer following the conversation I had with the friend from work…

  • The 2020 election, the will of the American people, was stolen.
  • Covid was planned and synthetically engineered in the viral lab in Wuhan, funded by Fauci.
  • The covid “vaccine” is an experimental mRNA gene therapy injection issued under an EUA (Emergency Use Authorization)…not a vaccine. Vaccines are made with the virus. The virus has never been isolated because there is no virus.
  • It is illegal to mandate an EUA under the Nuremberg Code. Pfizer & Moderna are not liable for adverse reactions from “injections” dispensed under an EUA. AND, EUA’s are only authorized when no other viable “treatments” exist. I personally know a dozen people who’ve fully recovered from Covid using Ivermectin and/or Hydroxychloroquine…for pennies. How many have they murdered by denying them treatment? Remdesivir is $3,200 per treatment…and, along with the ventilators, is killing people.
  • The covid injections are killing, maiming, and sterilizing people by the hundreds of thousands.
  • Only nine states in the nation are forcing masks on school children. Blue states are taking blood money from the CCP to mask and jab schoolchildren!
  • They are forcing Australians into detainment camps in Australia and preparing for the same in Canada.

People lie to themselves every day, mostly in blue states where they have to in order to survive…and be liked on Facebook. But, blue or red, you cannot lie to God and get away with it. The FACT is that when you allow yourself to be “counted in” you are betraying yourself, your family, your friends, your country and every soul that perished for the freedom you have come to take for granted, as well as God Himself.

Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the lovingkindnesses of the Lord. ~ Psalm 107:43

Wisdom NEVER turned its back on truth. And in the words of Dr. Eric Nepute from the “Show Me” state of Missouri, “Truth always wins.” Listen to his interview from night before last and you will understand how they are showing us all how to win in Missouri! The War In Missouri, Part 4

But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul. ~ Hebrews 10:39

Above all, brothers and sisters, pray for the lost sheep, that they repent and seek His forgiveness.

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ The Sighers and the Criers

Posted on December 5, 2021 by Chip Murray
What God Has Prepared US For

And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side; and the Lord said to him, “Go through the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.” To the others He said in my hearing, “Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.” ~ Ezekiel 9:3-6

FACT ~ God’s appointed are God’s anointed are God’s protected…Psalm 91…Ephesians 6:10-20…Isn’t it about time we start to act as though we believe what we know to be true?

Time and time again He has sent His angels to intercede on my behalf. From the young man “ordered by God” to pick me up hitchhiking in Biloxi Mississippi in 1976 and drive me 168 miles to my home just outside Morgan City, Louisiana…where I worked for John Carli from Hurley Wisconsin. If ever there were a place where men are men, it would be Hurley. One of the roughest and coldest places in America, it’s also where my boss bit a man named Garber’s ear off in 1957 https://case-law.vlex.com/vid/86-n-w-2d-631362234 Maybe that’s where Mike Tyson got the idea? John Carli worked for Al Capone who was also from Hurley Wisconsin. Al Capone had a brother named Ralph. John Carli had two sons, Jeff, and my friend Andrew. Ralph was Jeff’s Godfather. My stepdad Frank, who I would not meet for another 29 years, was also from Hurley Wisconsin and knew Ralph Capone. WHY? Why would God take a sheltered suburban kid from Wyckoff New Jersey and place him in the company of a man who had guarded the life of the most famous gangster in history until the day Capone died in 1947? I know now that God was forging His sheepdog in the Ivy League of all sheepdog furnaces! While most of my friends were sacrificing their warrior spirits on the altars of higher education, Professor Carli was shaping and testing mine nine ways to Sunday. I do need to point out here that the man I worked for and learned much from had gone from hurting men for a living to now rescuing them from alcohol and drug addiction as the Director of St. Mary’s Council on Alcohol & Drug Abuse.

The very same God who worked through a reformed gangster to instill the spirit of Michael in me, used Pastor Kirby to instill the heart of Christ in me on a Wyoming mountaintop in 2015. Now I was fully prepared to take on the wolf, which I have been doing as a full-time job ever since. The most dangerous and deadly wolf in the world is the wolf in sheep’s, or perhaps I should say, shepherd’s clothing. Here is a video showing one of them leading the sheep to slaughter. I shared my encounters and unsuccessful attempts to call out the wolf that was preying on the body of Christ in my old church, last week. Called before the board of deacons, elders, and the pastor in the summer of 2020 to be disciplined for embarrassing them with the truth, I came with a copy of the Founders’ Bible for all five of them in hopes of resuscitating them. I realize now that I had given holy water to the vampire…not that these poor souls were vampiric, but the Progressive spirit that caused them to recoil from the truth of their own history, and kneel before the altar of Social Justice is the devil himself.

Our CLOTH group meets today to discuss plans to rip public education out of the wolf’s jaws and bring it back to the body of Christ where it was originally formed and intended to remain. Yesterday, after reading this prayer request from a friend, My beautiful, wonderful niece Harper. She is so precious and sweet. Please pray for her in Yeshua’s mighty name for healing. She was given the injection 7 days ago, her first ever, and last night was taken to the ICU because she had a stroke and hemorrhaging in her brain…and finding this: 5-yr-old died 4 days after Pfizer shot… I wrote, “We have to SAVE our children before we can educate them!”

That is going to take men…but all the men have had their manhood lobotomized over the course of the past forty plus years in universities and seminaries. Listen up brothers while you can still draw a breath: “The evidence is so overwhelming and out there, that it puts a demand, that if you’re a leader in the Body of Christ, a pastor, or minister, or leader in some way, and you just keep showing spinelessness in the face of what is taking place, there is an accountability before God.” ~ Johnny Enlow, Navigating Through The Fog Of War

There are plenty of women standing on the front line. I met one such warrior in a room FULL of patriots in Putnam here this week. “What they fear most of all are organized citizens.” ~ Bobbie Anne Flower Cox. Hardly a warrior’s name, she won my heart and everyone else in the room when she said, “For years, like so many good New Yorkers, I was thinking of getting out and moving to a red state. Well, you know what? I’m not leaving they’re leaving!”  

Make NO mistake…the wolf is coming…Social Media > META > Mark of the Beast

It is time to act as though we believe what we know to be true…to sigh and cry our way through the fog of war and back to the front line where He expects us to be.

The Life of Jesus began in a foretelling through prophetic claim hundreds of years prior to His arrival by describing where He would be born, what He was going to do, the manner of His birth, what His name would be called, how He would perform His ministry, and how He would die, all through the accounts of many different prophets throughout the Old Testament. This foretelling explained that He would be the Son of God in the flesh, and the Savior and Redeemer for all humanity. The New Testament documents these events as they later play out all according to the initial prophecies. I have not gone through and corroborated all of the prophecies that He fulfilled within His short life, but totals given by scholars who have studied this seem to range between 300-400 in total. Mathematicians have run these calculations and concluded that the probability of any one person fulfilling only eight of these prophecies would be 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000. And yet Yeshuah fulfilled hundreds! The proof is overwhelming and unparalleled by any other in the entire history of the world, proving that Jesus is the one true Savior, Son of God, and risen Messiah. ~ Miguel Stefano, Confusion in the Cosmos

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ LGBTQIA By Any Other Name…

Posted on November 28, 2021 by Chip Murray
Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. ~ Proverbs 16:18

The Bible looks on sin, not as a disease, but as red-handed rebellion against the domination of the Creator. The essence of sin is “I won’t allow anybody to ‘boss’ me into saving myself,” and it may manifest itself in a morally good man as well as in a morally bad man. Sin has not to do with morality or immorality. It has to do with my claim to my right to myself, a deliberate and emphatic independence of God, though I veneer it over with Christian phraseology. ~ Oswald Chambers, The Red-Handed Rebellion

In a truly free society, man is free by his own free will to lie to others as well as himself and suffer the consequences, as he and the others are free to accept or reject his lie. In a fascist state, truth and those who speak it are criminalized, while all others are forced to swallow the lie. This past week there has been a wonderfully righteous rebellion in Florida, New York, over the discovery of the porno-GRAPHIC book “Gender Queer” in the elementary school library. In a Facebook thread of Warwick Conservatives, one woman wrote. “I’m not against LGBTQ”, to which I responded, “That would be like a European in 1939 saying, ‘I’m not against the Nazis.’” As in the message He gave me last week, it is time to call the spade a spade…or lose our precious freedom.

Praying for wisdom and discernment over the infiltration into our organization by the Progressive spirit a couple of weeks ago, I awoke the next morning to the following scripture…

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, ~ 1 Timothy 4:1,2

In a church I once attended, I was delighted to hear the news in 2019 that our men’s Bible study was going to dive into the book Fathered by God, by John Eldredge. In his book, for those who don’t know, Eldredge takes the reader on the journey of men as God made us to be through six stages: Boyhood, Cowboy, Warrior, Lover, King, and Sage. I was delighted because I was convinced that the Holy Spirit was using this book in our church to awaken the warrior in my brothers. I was wrong, and I came to realize watching my former church respond to the medical tyranny that was to grip our country several months later, that my church and everyone in it were held captive by the same Progressive spirit that had the Conservative woman capitulating to the LGBTQ. The Progressive cat had the preacher’s tongue when I responded to the moderator’s question, in the warrior stage mind you, “what is your warrior red line in the sand?” “The minute they bring the Drag Queen Story Hour to the Wisner Library!”, I replied without hesitation…noting the stunned expression on twenty faces around the room. I would be admonished six months later by the very same Progressive cat for attempting to warn my brothers and sisters of the Contact Tracing grooming them for the Mark, in the same exact way the DQSH is grooming our children as prey for Pedophiles and sex-traffickers.

Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. ~ 2 Timothy 4:2-4

Just as I was convinced that Eldredge’s book would wake up the warrior in church leaders to bring back the man in men, I felt surely the 2020 Pentecostal Spirit would shake church men from their slumber. But here we are closing in on the final act, and the “it’s not my fight” men are still the “it’s not my fight” men in the business-as-usual church. Please understand, there are many good men…and women in Orange Strong, for which I’m extremely grateful. But God isn’t looking for a strong Orange, He’s looking for a strong church! If we have any hope of revival as a nation it must start with the church. I confess I found myself in a state of hopelessness on that front…on Thanksgiving of all days.

The End of Man?

They kicked God out of school, where were they then?

Along came Roe v Wade, and they hid, and hid again.

When they said Jack could marry Joe, not a man to be found.

Yesterday they ripped Thomas Jefferson right out of the ground!

Today it’s your children whose lives they will end…

While you huddle in puddles and call yourselves men.

The end of man, is the end of the end.

CM ~ 11/23/21

…and it took a Southern Man to keep my hope alive HERE!

The transgender movement in this country…if there is a movement in this country that is demonic, and that is full of the spirit of the antichrist, it is the transgender movement! ~ Mark Robinson, Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina

Then He gives me yesterday’s A Psalm a Day Keeps The Tyrant At Bay! 93:1 The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The Lord has clothed and girded Himself with strength; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.

…which rhymed perfectly with a visit from Shakespeare. I love that He speaks to me through the Bard himself, who gave Juliet the famous line, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Juliet was making the point that Romeo’s name Montague, a rival of Juliet’s family, did not change who Romeo was. Just as God speaking through Shakespeare speaking through Juliet is affirming to me that the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.

Do you know what those of us who are ostracized, vilified, exiled, unfriended, divorced, fired, and otherwise excommunicated from those friends, families, spouses, organizations, schools, businesses, and yes tragically, churches for refusing to sacrifice our God on the altar of their perversions and fascist demands are called? Remnant.

We need to be crystal clear in this of all places. God loves ALL His children. LGTBQIA is the abbreviation for hatred of God, Nature’s Law, and the Traditional American Family. Traditional Americans NEVER declared war on their gay brothers and sisters, but LGTBQIA declared war on us, which in essence means they’ve declared war on God Himself. I urge every single person, gay or straight, reading this morning’s message to watch this amazing Thanksgiving message from Pastor Jonathan Cahn, author of The Harbinger. ~ Wake Up Church!

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ The “Progressive” Spade

Posted on November 21, 2021 by Chip Murray
LOVE waits for no man!

But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drown in the depths of the sea. ~ Matthew 18:6

Florida, one of the three villages in the town of Warwick, New York, has become the front line in the culture war dividing Americans, and it appears to be hopelessly irreconcilable. What began shortly after CCP sympathizer-Communist-homosexual FUFSD Superintendent Larry Leaven’s hire as a yellow flag months ago with his promoting an LGBTQ propaganda book suggesting pink for boys, has now turned a fiery crimson red with a pornographic instruction manual enticing 10-yr-old boys to have oral sex with one another while encouraging little girls to taste each other’s “yum” (vaginal excretions), discovered on the school library shelf!

Top Two Millstone Necklace Candidates in Orange County New York:

I give you one CCP sympathizer-Communist-homosexual FUFSD Superintendent Larry Leaven (Founder of the “Progressive” Dalton School), and the wolf in sheep’s clothing, “Pastor” John T. Redman, President of the Florida School District…his protector and defender.

My week began with this Stew Peters quote from Scott Kesterson’s BardsFM, podcast after making the three bullet-point comments that follow…

“Fake Conservatives like Richard Grenell push homosexual propaganda in your face claiming to be followers of Christ while sexualizing your kids (graphic truth) Deception and confusion, forcing you to question yourself and your faith are common tactics of the enemy…not just the Communist enemy but the devil himself. This is a spiritual war, and the enemy has severely underestimated the strength of the value systems of the young patriots who see right through these tactics. The enemy does not know the future but uses the past to target perceived worldly weaknesses and attack. The United States of America was founded under God, and I am encouraged by the strength and boldness of Generation X and Zoomers who will remain strong in faith and stay in His light.” ~ Stew Peters

  • The Log Cabin Republicans (LGBTQ) “Spirit of Lincoln Gala” held at Mira Lago on November 8 honoring Melania Trump and Richard Grenell.
  • University of Utah honoring Dr. Allison Walker for her dissertation on Understanding the Resilient Strategy Among “Minor-Attracted People” (Pedophiles)
  • Pedophile Information Exchange (PIE) 1974-1984

Every poison, every ill, every perversion, every corruption, most every addiction, infanticide, dysfunction and disintegration of the family unit, silencing the church, the Plandemic, medical tyranny, the “jab” that is blowing up hearts, causing miscarriages, and killing people, the chaos at our borders, and most every abomination plaguing our society was carried in by the deadliest and most destructive Trojan Horse in history, Progressivism…the last stop before Communism on the road to Hell!

American society has never been so cleverly and diabolically manipulated and deceived. Disgraced former New York Governor publicly proclaimed New York as the Progressive capital of the nation, and a place no longer welcome to Conservatives and traditional Christians. Many people don’t know that on his first day as Clinton’s HUD Secretary, Andrew Cuomo handed out copies of Machiavelli’s “The Prince” to all of his top-level managers telling them, “This is my management philosophy”, which most of us know as the end justifies the means.

Progressivism is the con that brings its victim voluntarily to the sacrificial alter of the Communist State. The ONLY way to survive at that point is to give yourself and ALL your individual rights, properties, and freedoms to the State. There is an abundance of photographs and videos on the internet illustrating the fate of those who resisted beyond the point of Totalitarian Control. And just how did people allow themselves to be so duped and manipulated? They were seduced with words like social justice, inclusion, equity, coexistence, and hate-speech, and brilliantly corralled inside the psychological razor-wire of Political Correctness.

In essence, we became unable and too afraid to call a spade a spade. And the ultimate spade, of course, being Truth itself. If anyone dared step outside the PC Perimeter, they were immediately identified and berated as RACIST!

God talks to those who listen to Him…which is why there is no place for God or His people in the Progressive or the Communist State. In the Progressive State of New York, and the County of Orange where I happen to live, the majority of Christians, and tragically the shepherds responsible for their spiritual safety and guidance, have been conditioned not to listen…which is why so many of them have allowed themselves to be injected with a bioweapon.

Stew Peters is 100% standing on the rock of Biblical truth. We are in a “Spiritual War”. Trying to coax one of my Christian brothers out of the huddle and onto the field of battle we got into a discussion of how many stones David took with him to meet Goliath, missing the point that while David’s faith was a factor, his love was the primary motivation. David had faith in God, but it was his love for God that transformed his faith into ACTION. The giant made two mistakes; he thought he was only fighting a shepherd boy, and he mocked the God David loved. A few months ago, I prayed for the spirit of David before walking into my local school board meeting…un-masked. Asked repeatedly before walking past the check-in table and into the auditorium where everyone was masked to put a mask on, I refused. The BOE President told me I had to wear I mask. I told him I am a healthy man, I do not need to wear a mask. He told me to put a mask on or he would have to call the police. I told him to go right ahead and call them. Which he did. A few minutes later, three NY State Troopers entered the room, met with the BOE President briefly, looked over at me, and then walked to the back of the auditorium where they stayed as the BOE President announced that masks would be optional for remainder of meeting.

I am here to tell you, those troopers saw the Authority I invited above their own. I had the faith to invite that Authority, but it is my love for the ultimate Authority, my God…the God they are mocking, that gave me the courage to take the field and pick up the one smooth stone and call the “Progressive” Spade a Spade.

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ The “Foolish” & The “Prudent”

Posted on November 14, 2021 by Chip Murray
“This Final Wedding List”

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. ~ Ephesians 5:6

God gave me two messages Thursday night; Remnant Prayer and a powerful message to my men’s Bible study group…in that order. In much the same way as the Holy Spirit interrupted Jude’s salutation to give him what I believe to be the greatest warning in the entire Bible…just before Revelation, He interrupted Remnant Prayer after writing,

This fortress wall, alone I man…Upon Thy love, I make my stand.                                                                     

To give me this

Are we really Iron Sharpening Iron?

“God is looking for a church that is unwilling to be silent when truth needs to be spoken.” ~ Pastor Matt Maher ~ Cornerstone Chapel.  Wes sent this video out last week. How many of you watched it?

We have an alert on our Orange Strong Team APP, “They’re Coming For Your Kids” that reads, Your children will likely be first asked, then later bribed, coerced, browbeat, and or segregated for not taking an experimental gene therapy injection into their bodies. Make sure they are prepared for the fallout. Their attendance in school is implied consent!

This week I sent an urgent appeal to ALL HANDS call to “peacefully protest” the Vax to School van targeting Cornwall schoolchildren. We, the church, were a no-show…missing in action!

So, I think about this Friday morning prayer group, and I ask myself why especially in this group do I have to raise the face mask and child drowning calls-to-action to this group of men who have just come through an intense study of the Book of Daniel? What is the main take-away lesson of Daniel, if not the non-compliance of Daniel and how God protects the non-compliant! And now…we’re going into the book of John. This is what the Founders’ Bible author David Barton had to say about John…

When all others fled, or did not feel safe enough to follow, John did just the opposite; he drew ever closer. Though the entire world was becoming unglued in the horror of seeing his best friend crucified, there was no safer place than to follow Him to the foot of the cross and hold on to Him who is the glue to life itself.

And we wonder why our sons do not have the faith of our fathers??? I am bringing more young and old people to the faith through Orange Strong than most churches for one reason and one reason only…THEY ARE SEEING FAITH IN ACTION.

Pretty strong message, right? This particular study involved us in the 2nd chapter in John…the wedding. Remember this…very significant. This was Friday morning…

No sooner do I get back home, then my Orange Strong partner Matt posts the following, suggesting it might provide grist for the CLOTH (Christian Leaders Of The Hudson) mill…

We find ourselves in a similar situation. Western society is burning. The structures that led to her prosperity have been broken down. You see this in many realms, but none so clearly as the state of our men. Like the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the days of Nehemiah, our men are in “great distress and reproach” (1:3)…We are living in a world of fatherless males who don’t know how to rebuild the walls of society. They have become clueless bastards. They know how to build, explore, and conquer—in video games. They must turn to YouTube to learn how to jumpstart a car, tie a half-windsor knot, and do a push-up. Social skills are even harder for them. They scour the internet to learn how to stand up for themselves, make friends, and talk to women. The knowledge which is normally transmitted from father to son has been lost. They have to rediscover it for themselves. The West Is Burning

Interestingly, I thought it to be too harsh, too strong. After all, to one of the Friday morning Bible study brothers who had texted me his “appreciation” immediately following our meeting, I replied, “Hearts and minds via truth in love.” But then, Saturday morning He introduces me to Kyle…

Kyle Warner breaks down… “the state of our men.”

Now everything in the Galilean culture of Jesus centered around the wedding. It was the Wedding in Cana where He worked His first miracle, turning water into wine. In the Parable of the Ten Virgins as told in Matthew 25:1-13, we know all ten to be the church, and Jesus to be the groom. We also know five to be “Foolish”, and five to be “Prudent”. The following message was in this week’s Prayer & Fast Wednesday…

“WOE to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!” says the Lord. Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel against the shepherds who feed my people: “You have scattered my flock, driven them away, and not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your doings,” says the Lord. “But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking,” says the Lord. ~ Jeremiah 23:1-4

So, there are two key components in the Parable of the Ten Virgins, the oil in the lamps and the state of readiness/alertness of the virgins…the church. The Foolish had neither. The Foolish thought that the oil was only oil, and that readiness/alertness meant only waiting. The Prudent knew that the oil was the Holy Spirit, and that readiness/alertness was the appropriate/timely ACTION as guided by the light of Holy Spirit. This realization moved me from the Foolish to the Prudent in June of 2020…to be ready for the gathering.

Yesterday morning as I am driving and listening to my new favorite Sirius radio station Bluegrass Junction as I’m contemplating His gathering the remnant, the new Eddie Sanders song comes on. You have got to hear this! Last Lonesome Pine

I hope and pray each and every single one of you is listening to what I am listening to. I was able to complete most of Remnant Prayer yesterday, but it remains unfinished. I would love to include the finished prayer in next week’s Tune-up, God willing, if one of my readers would care to add the finishing touch.

Remnant Prayer

This fortress wall, alone I man… Upon Your love, I make my stand. You saw this day from far away, before the sands of time… You knew back then, the where and when, the every who that You would find, to make this final wedding list, and by your mercy dine. I think of every moment since… into this world I came, of every single pain and bliss, each memory to reclaim. To know the day and hour… is never what I sought… To know that by Your precious blood, this lonesome man was bought. I give myself to You this hour,
