The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ On Whose Authority?

Posted on July 19, 2020 by Chip Murray

The Ultimate Authority

Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” ~ Mark 12:17

This is probably one of the richest, most profound, useful, and timely scripture passages for us to take to heart at this moment in time. I say “richest” because it contains the treasure of our Lord modeling His Matthew 10:16 “clever as serpents, harmless as doves” wisdom just as the Pharisees and Herodians were seeking to entrap him.

Last week I wrote about the unholy authority of the Progressive Spirit that possesses us at every level of our society. The American church and state have fallen into full submission. And as I experienced this week, the American corporate workplace has fallen under its authority as well. Our Prayer & Fast Wednesday invite, in retrospect, was a call to heed the warning and take any and all action necessary to identify and cast out the spirit that will otherwise destroy us…

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,

Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. He sent them to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. ~ Luke 9:1-2 (My Maxwell read 7/14, “Help Your People Grow”) I do not see us growing. I see us weakened, fearful, and dependent because of the possession I wrote about Sunday.

…and from Chambers, this morning as well: We have to show it in our fingertips, in our tongue, and in our bodily contact with other people, and as we obey God, we find we have a wealth of power on the inside. The question of forming habits on the basis of grace of God is a very vital one. To ignore it is to fall into the snare of the Pharisee.

I see obedience to the Progressive Spirit as it directs us in how we may be permitted to worship God, and our behavior with one another. This is what “we have to show in our fingertips, in our tongue, and in our bodily contact with other people”…as we are served up to the Pharisees, like sheep to the slaughter. Please join us for Prayer & Fast Wednesday tomorrow with prayerful focus on God’s authority as revealed in Luke 9:1-2

For Him,

Chip

I have a good friend who once used a triangle to illustrate the simple beauty of our relationship to one another through our primary focus of obedience to God. When you and I as the bottom two points of the triangle move upward in obedience to God as the top point we, by degree, grow closer to one another. How many marriages fail because we leave God out and move closer to each other on the line of I, me, mine? I know mine did. Sadly now, four years later, I am able to see a second invisible triangle that has slowly and steadily slipped in over the years to take the place of the first, which my friend seems unable to see…or accept. It is the Progressive Spirit, as effective in stealth as it is in cunning…its only purpose is to draw as many souls as it can away from God. As you might expect, it works in the exact opposite way as God’s triangle. In the healthy body, when we move closer to the “keter” crown of God, we not only move closer to each other, we move closer to Truth and Oneness with our Creator. In the possessed body, the closer we move to its point, the farther we move from Truth, our relationship to God, and closer to the eternity of Hell. Think of it as the devil’s anti-Psalm 23…

Mlasp 32

I am the affectionate one you shall want in the flesh. I will let you lie down wherever you choose. I will provide for you mighty waters to quench your every thirst, and lead you on the path to your every desire for your name’s sake. Even though I am the shadow of death, I will bring you no harm, and protect you from your enemies. I preparest a table for you safe from all your enemies. You anointest my head with the blood of innocents, till my cup overflows. Surely all my powers shall be yours all the days of your life; and you will dwell in my house forever.

On whose authority do we march past the graves of 61,228,584 murdered babies, 20,000,000 of them black babies, to protest the murder of one black criminal? “The weapon of mass destruction is the suction machine in Planned Parenthood. If we look the other way while our smallest brothers and sisters are being lynched in the womb, we lose the right to be outraged that we were once lynched by the Klan.” ~ Reverend Johnny Hunter, a black pastor. Democrats: Killing the American Family, One Baby at a Time ~ Eric Martin

Question: How is it that my other good friend who lives almost totally off the grid, without smart phone or access to a computer is smart enough to find the statistical data on Covid 19 and proof that we are all being lied to by those subject to the Father of Lies, and possessed by the same spirit I’ve just described?

Answer: Those possessed are unable, and/or unwilling to see and accept truth. Even when its put directly in front of them: Covid911-INSURGENCY

“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence.” ~ President John F. Kennedy, April 27, 1961 at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York City. “The President and the Press” speech before the American Newspaper Publishers Assoc., in what I believe were the words that got him killed. LISTEN From 9:55 to the 11 min. mark.

Its one thing to be clever as serpents, and harmless as doves…on His authority. Its quite another to hide from truth, safe as it may seem. But ask yourself, on whose authority? On whose authority do I restrict my speech in any place? On whose authority do I wear this mask? On whose authority do I distance myself from my friends and neighbors? On whose authority do I close my business and the ability to provide for my family? On whose authority?

“Facts, not feelings!” ~ Angel Maysonet, Retired NYPD Officer, Warwick Back the Blue Rally on July 18, 2020.

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ Exorcism of the Progressive Spirit

Posted on July 12, 2020 by Chip Murray

ONLY by Prayer & Fasting.

This is a spiritual war and in this moment in time the masters of the earthly domain are pulling together all their slaves. Our walk with God, our walk with faith is never going to be easy. And our walk as patriots is never going to be easy because it means that we have to stand together, anchored in God and faith for what this country is, what was sacrificed for it, and what we have been entrusted to defend. ~ Scott Kesterson, The Bards of War

Whether or not you believe we are in a spiritual war as Kesterson claims, I invite you to please consider the following evidence to support his claim, combined with your own personal experiences and observations, in order to consider my proposed plan to put out the fire that will otherwise consume us all. Exhibit A:

Here below we are introduced to one of the slaves being pulled together by “the masters of the earthly domain” by a Conservative woman from REAL Warwick…

This. This is the enlightened advice from a social justice warrior. We’re supposed to listen to this person (I’m unsure of gender and don’t want the fb police getting their panties/boxers in a wad)? Aside from the whole gender guessing games, the second thing I noticed were the Hitleresque eyebrows. Seriously.                                                  https://www.facebook.com/felix.fernandes.50/videos/3567664439929163

…and the response from a Progressive woman on the same site;

Now we insult and degrade children?! A “social justice warrior”? This is a child!!!! And commenting on their gender and physical appearance?! This is a child!!!! You should be beyond ashamed! Scraping the bottom of the barrel you belong in for this comment!!! Grow up and find yourself some couth and class – stop broadcasting your ugly…but even worse, stop being so ugly!!!!  Take-away? The possessed are totally blind to their own possession.

Exhibits B-I:

Nobody understands better than I do, our natural inclination to resist, avoid, and otherwise reject the truth of God in our lives. While seeking him, I spent the majority of my years taking every shortcut, detour, and bypass I could find to get there in my own fashion (which makes me just as much, if not more, a part of the problem as anyone else). The REAL Artful Dodger I was, never realizing that the destination is ALWAYS by His fashion…until now. So, I’m asking you for the moment to consider the truth of what I’m about to share, as it fits with your own personal experiences and observations. Fact: The Progressive Spirit and the Holy Spirit are fundamentally and thoroughly incompatible with one another. Allowing both to share the same space is no different than attempting to arrange a play date between God and the devil. And yet, because God has given us free will, ever the good Father to his prodigal children, He allows us to sow the seeds of our own folly, and reap the consequences as presented in exhibits A-I. In fact, our country being ripped apart in this very hour is the direct result of this play date that began in the sixties. What started out as “flowers in her hair” cute back then, blossomed into the ultimate fatal attraction; a witches’ brew of earthly liberties and irresistible desires inspired by the father of lies. Countless souls lost, past and present, on top of the sixty million plus and counting that never got the chance to take a breath, laugh or cry, dance and sing. “What have we done?”, would be the question on our lips…if we were truly free to question. But the truth is we are ALL slaves, bound with invisible chain, and headed for the darkest slave ship conceived by the now fully developed lord and master of the play date. This courageous doctor describes exactly how they literally plan to own each and every one of us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWYxD2G5g94

Here’s how it will go down. America is possessed at every level of church and state. The spirit that holds us captive is “Progressive” having taken possession of our bodies and souls through 4 stages of the play date; Liberty, Liberalism, Socialism, and now into the 4th and final act of the play…Fascism. What would have been impossible while we were a nation of the moms and pops, is all but assured by the corporate box store “masters of the earthly domain” that replaced them. States are already discussing mandatory masking and vaccination…for our own good of course. EZ-Pass made our lives easy, no? It also eased us into a very critical component of their being able to herd us onto the Love Boat. They need us to accept the idea of ourselves as a “cashless” society. And the ultimate coup de grace…the COVI-Pass! You WON’T be able to leave home without it. Are you ready for the final cruise? I am not. But based on the evidence I’ve just laid out; I believe there is only one way out for us. Exorcism. The Progressive Spirit must be cast out. Ordinarily, this would be a function of the church. But as Jim Lovell said in 1970, “Houston, we have a problem.” …which leads us to another favorite quote, “If it is to be, it is up to WE.”

So, I am asking each and every one of my readers to take the following steps of action to literally save the Soul of America. Keep the following items with you at all times; Crucifix, Bible, and Holy Water. Whenever and wherever you come across a person possessed by the Progressive Spirit, simply smile hold out your Bible and Cross with your left hand, give them a spritz of the Holy Water with your right, and with love and compassion in your heart, look them straight in the eye and say, “The Spirit of Christ compels you. The Spirit of Christ compels you. The Spirit of Christ compels you.”

Oh yes, I almost forgot. How can you tell if someone is possessed by the Progressive Spirit? I recommend the guaranteed AHDI Index method:

They are physically unable to say any of the following…

  • Abortion is a bigger problem than racism in America.
  • Homosexuality is immoral.
  • Donald J. Trump is my President.
  • I am a patriot.

As Colombo loved to say to his cornered prey, “Just one more thing”…It HATES Prayer & Fasting. Please join us every Wednesday wherever you are.

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ In Case of Fire…

Posted on July 5, 2020 by Chip Murray

The Illusion

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow (illusion) of death, I fear no evil; for though art with me; thy rod (correction) and thy staff (direction), they comfort me. ~ Psalm 23:4

In Case of Fire, Break Glass!

This passage from my favorite Psalm was part of our Prayer & Fast Wednesday focus this week. It happened to converge with my having just been introduced to the black Rev. Henry Highland Garnet by the white David Barton in my Founders’ Bible. There could not be a more precious grist for the mill at such a time as this, than these three words in twenty-nine of the most encouraging and comforting words God has ever given us. Why? Because in these three words God is breaking the glass and sounding the alarm…if we will only open our hearts a minds!

The Psalmist did not write of our walk through the valley of death. He wrote it as the shadow of death because death is illusory in the sense that, as we Christians know, it has been conquered. This begs the question, if something as widely perceived as the certainty of death can be illusion, how much of this life we are presently living is illusion as well? Which brings us to the 2nd part of our prayer focus on Exodus 21:16 as it relates to illusion created by the photo above…

Dear Friends in Christ,

With all that is happening, I found it refreshing to reflect on how the Founders drew inspiration from Exodus; from God delivering the Jewish people from bondage, along with the flight of our Pilgrims from their own bondage and persecution, to ultimately providing the wherewithal for eliminating the slavery of men in the ratification of our Thirteenth Amendment:

Honorable Senators and Representatives! Illustrious rulers of the great nation! I cannot refrain this day from invoking upon you, in God’s name, the blessings of millions who were ready to perish but to whom a new and better life has been opened by your humanity, justice, and patriotism. You have said, “Let the Constitution of the country be so amended that slavery and involuntary servitude shall no longer exist in the United States, except in punishment for a crime.” Surely, an act so sublime could not escape Divine notice; and doubtless, the deed has been recorded in the archives of Heaven! ~ Rev. Henry Highland Garnet (1815-1882) The first black American to speak in Congress on February 12, 1865…

Please join us for tomorrow’s Prayer & Fast Wednesday, with prayerful focus on Exodus 21:16 and Psalm 23:1-6

For Him,

Chip

Is it possible for those powerful enough to create the illusion of America being a racist nation, and a virus no deadlier than the flu to destroy the economies of the world, to also create the illusion that a Communist named Bergoglio is the head of the Catholic Church?

First things first. I thank Ann Barnhardt for doing yeoman’s work, and laying down the base foundation for this stance. She was one of the very first to boldly and publicly propose the idea that Bergoglio was not pope. She was the first to take the leap, believe in this conviction, and live it through, no matter the consequences to her reputation. As every year passes that we see a man pretending to be Vicar of Christ —a man whose public actions are obviously not directed by the Holy Spirit—Barnhardt becomes more and more vindicated in her position. Her’s has been a long game, in which the fullness of time would prove her right. ~ Mark Docherty, The Splendor of Truth

In fact, if all these so-called “journalists” are the people calling real news fake, and “extremely dangerous to our democracy”, then what are the real journalists trying to tell us?

This is by far the most important Tune-up to date because just as with any other fire alarm, the consequences of ignoring it WILL be devastating. We are in America’s life or death moment, and while God is in complete control, leaving it ALL up to God would be the greatest mistake in all of our lives, not to mention a total departure from how we as Americans have handled every other crisis in our 244 years of existence…as my friend Eric Martin so eloquently puts in his most passionate appeal to the hearts and minds of every good American.

I am here to tell you that God through the Psalmist would never leave us here in this valley with no way out. He who gives us the ability to discern truth from shadows provides both the rod to correct and the staff to guide our steps. But it is entirely up to us to use them. Because, as another REAL journalist puts it, it’s time for ALL of us to get real before real gets us. I took a little heat for breaking the glass as I was directed to do last week. In my Maxwell read yesterday, Reading Between the Lines, he opens with Proverbs 28:2; When the country is in chaos, everybody has a plan to fix it—but it takes a leader of real understanding to straighten things out. He goes on to write, Leadership is more art than science. The principles of leadership are constant, but the application changes with every leader and every situation. That’s why it requires intuition. Without it you can get blindsided, and that’s one of the worst things that can happen to a leader.

Sitting around a campfire with some Christian brothers a couple of weeks ago, everyone had an opportunity to share their individual experiences over the past several months of our “country in chaos”. What I found interesting was how easy it was for those who shared to describe the experience in terms of the effect it was having on themselves, their families, and their businesses…and how difficult and awkward it was to discuss the cause…though a couple brave souls dared to dip a toe in the source waters of the chaos. This should have been the exact opposite. The cause of the chaos and threat to ourselves, our families, and our businesses should have and would have elicited with a passionate zeal, the meaningful and productive conversations of stout-hearted men from any other time in our history. WHY NOT NOW? The answer could not possibly be more plain, simple, and right square in front of us. The modern church has abdicated its leadership role in the modern world. And ALL of us; shepherds and laymen alike have the moral obligation and duty to step up and take our rightful place in this moment. Because if we don’t, our legacy will be the utter and shameful disgrace of having thrown away, abandoned, and surrendered God’s 2nd greatest gift to us as Americans:

True religious liberty could only be built upon the genuine practice of self-government. The reason is simple: self-government, by its very nature, yields peace, with “every man under his vine and his fig tree.” (1 Kings 4:25) ~ The Founders’ Bible, the very heart of our beginning, the light of the Mayflower Compact, from the leadership of John Robinson.

Happy Interdependence Day!

Posted on July 3, 2020 by Chip Murray

Because the silver moon knows…

And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. ~ Ephesians 5:2

By the God-given privileges vested in me as a clear-thinking, red-blooded, Christian heterosexual, white American patriot, I hereby proclaim July 3rd as Interdependence Day; a day for ALL Americans to get “UP”, dust ourselves off, and come back together as the ONE Nation Under God WE were meant to be. What this means is that from this day forward WE as Americans reject any and all attempts to separate and divide us. Here’s a perfect example of how the enemy attempts to do just that…

My partner and I have established a county-wide neighborhood watch program based on the national Neighborhood Watch established by the Sheriffs Association. Because of what is happening around the country, intentionally orchestrated by the enemy, I am delighted to tell you that people are joining us in considerable numbers. Why? Because they realize interdependence is a good thing. Now, while so much of the correspondence has been positive, productive, and even fruitful, here’s a recent comment that reveals what is going on in our country:

“Hello, I am just hearing about this group now. I am hoping there is a great deal of diversity represented in this neighborhood watch group and that there was a concerted effort to include people from all different backgrounds and perspectives.  Thank you.”

They put up a banner in the Village of Warwick this week that reads “RACISM IS NOT TOLERATED HERE”. Now, if you know Warwick you know it to be one of the most diverse communities around. So why would they put such a banner up? Because it is the pure Marxist PSYOP technique to make us all believe we are, what we are not.

The fact is that we welcome “all people of good character” who share the common interest and belief that we are all our brothers’ keepers. The very last thing the enemy wants is for us to unite in this belief. So, I urge you all to learn to recognize this voice that seeks to divide us and reject it. Also, please feel free to reach out if you need help setting up a Neighborhood Watch in your area. Always remember what Seneca stated, “You must live for others if you wish to live for yourself.” Valuing interdependence more than independence is the best way I know to protect our independence, because tomorrow…

It’s Independence Day in my neighborhood Where the people are friendly, and life is good. Where the silver moon knows when the sun goes away tomorrow she’ll shine on Independence Day! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPJ-aX3-2aY

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ To Protect and to Serve

Posted on June 28, 2020 by Chip Murray

God Bless Our Blue!

To my dear friends Tiffany and Brian who had to be without their kids for a week so they could protect and serve perfect strangers in New York City, including those who’ve been deceived into hating them by the spirit that has possessed so many…this is for you both.

Never yield to a power unless you know its character. (Love of God)                      ~ Oswald Chambers, Testing Spiritual Maturity

You will likely never know a more confusing or uncertain time than the one we are now living in. But what I can tell you with absolute certainty is this; Nothing in this world, no amount of talent, knowledge, fortune or fame will replace spiritual maturity as the weapon of choice for our survival in the eternal sense. My favorite Maxwell read this week, Give Yourself Away, fits perfectly in today’s message for two reasons. First, it is the key to the passage home to be with our Father and eternal life in heaven, at the end of this life. Second, it provides great light for us to examine those around us who suffer greatly now because of their commitment to protect and to serve…every single one of us.

Speak up for the people who have no voice, for the rights of all the down-and-outers. Speak out for justice! Stand up for the poor and destitute! ~ Proverbs 31:8-9

Years ago, people I loved with all my heart turned against me for standing up for my Christian beliefs during the time of the swirling controversy over the Boy Scouts of America’s refusal to cave to the LGBT demands. In the darkest moment it was so bad I had to leave my own home to spend a night alone in a hotel room. It happened to be the night of the Al Smith dinner on October 18, 2012. When I turned on the TV to see the image of a jovial and smiling Cardinal Dolan, wine glass in hand, as he sat between Obama and Romney, it hit me like a dagger straight through my heart. I saw it as the clearest vision of an appeasing shepherd between two wolves.

Eight years later the wolf has only grown stronger, hungrier, and more brazen, as it encircles our own neighborhoods and communities at this very hour. And the pain of watching those we love provide aid and comfort to those who mean us harm has only deepened. Now, instead of merely sitting with the wolves, I see the shepherd standing and marching with the wolves in BLM clothing. They claim to speak for the people who have no voice, and for the rights of the down-and-outers, and for justice…as they prepare to destroy all that is good…with the help of those foolish enough to believe their lies. “I said If this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down the system and replace it.” ~ Hawk Newsome, BLM President. Watch him speak his words  HERE.

The Holy Spirit has led me to two churches. God is not making me choose between churches, God is expanding my Christian Family…to bring His greater light to both for the benefit of all. One of my churches is sickened from its possession by the very spirit that is being called out here. It’s the spirit of fear, false power, and illusion. It’s the spirit that attacks an invitation to pray and fast. I liken this “Progressive” spirit to the power Grima Wormtongue used to control King Theoden (shepherds)…until Gandalf (Holy Spirit) freed him from the spell HERE.

It’s the very same spirit that holds the shepherd back from speaking truth for fear of offending, for surrendering the church’s moral and rightful authority to the state, as well as our FULL unfettered Constitutional Right to God’s House to the same illegitimate and corrupt authority. Anyone who believes this is God’s will for us knows a different God than I do…

“Our Lord has no illusions about men, and He knows that every relationship in life that is not based on loyalty to Him will end in disaster.” ~ Oswald Chambers, The Need for Disillusionment

In fact, the Holy Spirit directed me to a Fear Not Fellowship gathering last Sunday, fifteen minutes from my home. I found a most remarkable gathering of fellow Christians INSIDE, unrestricted, unrestrained, unafraid, and joyful in their fellowship. There was no sign or hint of the virus…as if God had purged it from the tabernacle. No masks…no distancing. Only worship, prayer, praise, and lots of singing. Two things happened to me here. First, I felt my body begin to heal and strengthen in those 90 minutes of worship. Second, I never remember names. It always takes me at least a couple times. I remember every single name of every soul I met last Sunday!

The Holy Spirit directs me in both churches now, with love and unbridled truth. He blesses me to be with my brothers in my first church as we meet for Bible study on Thursday nights, as He blesses me to be with new family on Sundays…where He has directed me to offer $1,776 on behalf of and in honor of my friends Tiffany and Brian at this morning’s service…

On this final Sunday of June 2020, we greet you from (the Fear Not Fellowship) in the precious and mighty Name of Jesus, that “name which is above every name…” (Philippians 2:9)!  And, we praise God that a federal judge this past Friday overruled the discriminatory and illegal restrictions against gatherings for religious worship services!  We applaud the very clear stand of the Honorable Judge Gary Sharpe who said that “faith-based New Yorkers and their religious institutions’ free-speech rights were trampled upon by social-distancing rules set by the state that were more severe than for secular businesses”.  Notwithstanding the need for godly wisdom and understandable safety measures in any kind of emergency situation, a close examination of the broader course of events in our Land reveals that established constitutional rights and our Judaeo- Christian foundation have been under determined attack for a long time!  The greater, spiritual issue for us, however, is not just a matter of getting back to our comfortable sanctuaries, casual Christianity, and indifferent lifestyles!  We desperately need repentance, revival and reconciliation – first with a holy God, and then with our fellow man!  We have sinned, but who really wants to hear that – even in most evangelical churches? Many just want feel-good, self-acknowledging, conviction-free sermonettes! There are no fancy, religious shortcuts to getting right with God, and with others against whom we stand guilty.  Just read the Bible!  Hopefully things like Covid-19 will drive us to our knees to truly seek the Lord (Hosea 10:12), to consider our ways (Haggai 1:5), to honestly follow the formula of 2 Chronicles 7:14, and to do what God requires of us: “to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God” (Micah 6:8)!  We are being called back to First-Century, Acts of the Apostles’ faith, living and witness – all by the Holy Spirit!  No compromise, grandstanding or showcasing – but God’s Word, prayer, unfeigned worship, the Holy Spirit, the witness of the Gospel, unity among brethren, and above all, His LOVE!!  You are welcome to join us at 10:30AM (also live streamed & shared), Always in the love of Jesus the Messiah, Pastor Faithful Servant, Fear Not Fellowship. HABAKKUK 3:17-19!  YOU ARE WELCOME IN GOD’S HOUSE!

Tiffany shared this wonderful tribute to those who Protect & Serve us all…please share with your loved ones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3QcThn5CcI

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ The Only Resistance

Posted on June 21, 2020 by Chip Murray

“The Dream of Freedom”

This book contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. ~ The Founders’ Bible

Happy Fathers Day! My good friend and Christian mentor overwhelmed me with an amazing birthday gift this week in The Founders’ Bible written by David Barton, with the help of quite the team led by Brad Cummings and Lance Wubbels. I have not been able to put it down. Why? Because it is a virtual lifeline to any American you may know who is slowly sinking into despair. And if your circles are anything like mine you are likely to know more than a few. There’s good reason why liquor sales and Zoloft prescriptions are way up. Our country that owes its very existence to the Word that inspired our Founders’ “Dream of Freedom”, has just declared war on its Author.

Just as light moves from East to West, so does good. Evil on the other hand, moving against the light, crawls from West to East. The once healthy and invincible God/family-centric American ecosystem has developed a festering, cancerous open wound, metastasizing in California, Oregon, and Portland as a rotting bed sore…slowly making its way East to New York and the Mid-Atlantic states. I just this minute ended a reply to a friend with the words NEVER lose heart. But how, as Kipling once observed, when all around you are losing theirs? Read Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, and last week’s Faithful Servant’s sage advice, “We as those who truly follow the Lord and His Word are challenged as never before, by sincere faith and humble obedience, to be as First-Century disciples!” It’s bad enough when the team mascot and water boy lose heart, quite another when the coach and quarterback do as well.

The opening quote above, and the Murillo quote from last week, together with this week’s Prayer & Fast Wednesday focus on 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 provide foundational truths that are both reassuring to the mind of integrity and character, yet extremely disturbing when we observe the spiritual weakness of the 21st Century disciples;

No movement will solve injustice that doesn’t have authority over the devil, because the devil is the author of injustice. That gives the church the unique role of being the only resistance. ~ Mario Murillo

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:8-10

This was the opening line of our invitation to this week’s P&FW, The toughest job in the world is defending Truth while “the spirit” that has possessed us provides aid, comfort, and cover to the enemies of Truth. What must 1st Century Paul think of His 21st Century disciples?? This is not a question I dare to presume myself wise enough to answer, though my accountability to my Lord demands I ask it just the same. Where are the believers standing up for and defending truth?

I had the most bizarre and crazy night of dreams last night. The craziest by far was a dream in which I was a fill-in newscaster on a live set where I was given a non-existent script that not a soul in the studio believed, to deliver…to nobody. And yet, they all acted as if all of it was real. So, thinking it all an absurd joke, I did my best Bill Murray in Groundhog Day schtick in 5-4-3-2-1. Nobody laughed. I am laughing now, fully awake at 4:58 in the morning, but I was not laughing then. God was showing me the inside of the matrix. This is our world now. These are all handsome and beautiful Ken and Barbie dolls, smiling fake smiles, as they lie to 330,000,000 Americans day and night. I had a friend ride up from Jersey to fire the Glock 9mil he just bought for the first time, because he’s “not allowed to in New Jersey”. We work together…we haven’t seen each other in 4 months. Two friends who haven’t seen each other in months, and he gives me his elbow to shake…do you see what the liars have done to us? Where are the believers standing up for and defending truth?

The truth is plain to see for those willing to open their eyes and stop the play-acting for the benefit of liars and thieves. “As a product of the public school system, I was not taught this history; quite the opposite. They had edited out just about any meaningful reference to God. The stories we were told were sanitized and scrubbed of any real spirituality—just names, facts, and dates, with little to no ‘through line’ of any substance, no over-arching plan or purpose. The Founding Fathers were just a bunch of atheists, agnostics, and deists, right? Apparently not! Everyone knows that the American Revolution (my 4th Great Grandfather fought in) was fought because of taxation without representation…you mean there was more to it than that? Far more, and thrilling to learn. As I listened to the stories of various Founding Fathers whom I had never even heard of, and learned of their deep spiritual passion, their love for God, their consistent commitment to and reliance upon the scriptures, I was amazed.” ~ Brad Cummings, The Founders’ Bible

There is nothing in this world more heartbreaking than to see those entrusted with the “only resistance” stand with the “the movement that doesn’t have authority.” Here’s what standing up and speaking truth to the liars and thieves…and far worse in this case, looks like for those of us who seem to have forgotten. It is my honor and privilege to introduce you to Captain Higgins.

If America isn’t worth fighting for, then my friend, what is? Who can turn away from a truth so glaringly self-evident as this? What can be said of such a man? Sir Walter Scott must have known him as well as any…

My Native Land                                                                                                               Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,                                                                              Who never to himself hath said,                                                                                                     This is my own, my native land!                                                                                             Whose heart hath ne’er within him burn’d,                                                                                  As home his footsteps he hath turn’d                                                                                          From wandering on a foreign strand!                                                                                              If such there breathe, go, mark him well;                                                                                    For him no Minstrel raptures swell;                                                                                          High though his titles, proud his name,                                                                            Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;                                                                              Despite those titles, power, and pelf,                                                                                                  The wretch, concentred all in self,                                                                                            Living, shall forfeit fair renown,                                                                                                  And, doubly dying, shall go down                                                                                                      To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,                                                                                      Unwept, unhonour’d, and unsung.                                                                                                    ~ Sir Walter Scott

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ The Light Refused

Posted on June 14, 2020 by Chip Murray

Fruit of the False Shepherd

Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, who draw sin as with cart ropes, who say: “Let him make haste, let him speed his work that we may see it; let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near, and let it come, that we may know it.” Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ~ Isaiah 5:18-20

This quote in a comment section impressed me the other day…“They’ll make it illegal to grow food. To catch rainwater. To leave the city. To live in a shack. To refuse an injection. To settle down in the middle of nowhere where there’s not a soul for miles. That’s the point at which you’ve got to ask: Am I going to go down without a fight?”   This is actually happening.

And this from the “we are divided” Prayer & Fast Wednesday invitation, “I am not judged by the light I have, but by the light I have refused to accept. (Shad. Agony)” brings us to the most important reckoning in the history of our nation.

There are two different shepherds at this fork in the road of our lives. The true shepherd sounds the alarm by alerting the Children of Light to what is actually happening, as Archbishop Vigano who first called out the spirit of the false shepherd in Francis and, more recently, the same false spirit in Rev. Gini Gerbasi, did so eloquently in this letter to our President. It is the same light acknowledged by only 1 in 136 of our shepherds here in Orange County, “Dear Brother Paul – Greetings to you in the grace and peace of our victorious Savior & Lord Jesus Christ!  This is to gratefully respond to your letter dated May 30, 2020 which is before me, and I do stand with you in Jesus’ Name.  We as those who truly follow the Lord and His Word are challenged as never before, by sincere faith and humble obedience, to be as First-Century disciples!  I look forward to speaking with you.  Sincerely on the bonds of our Lord’s love and grace, Pastor (Faithful Steward) at (Fear Not Fellowship) Church.  Psalm 27:1; Isaiah 41:10; Nahum 1:7; Hebrews 13:20-21.” The false shepherd delivers bible stories through the filter of social justice, intentionally avoiding the truth of what is actually happening, creating instead the Children of Darkness who learn to fight institutionally manufactured injustice with a greater injustice.  

No movement will solve injustice that doesn’t have authority over the devil, because the devil is the author of injustice. That gives the church the unique role of being the only resistance. ~ Mario Murillo

A friend told me this week he was “in the battle…striving to keep my eyes on the King.”

That’s when it struck me like a thunderbolt….

But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. ~ 2 Corinthians 3:14-16

The line between God and His ecclesia is a nourishing, life-enhancing, and straight line of Truth. It simply is what it is.

The false shepherd has, through the filter of social justice, set up roadblocks, detours, and dead ends that has left the ecclesia weakened, depressed, and defenseless. The only thing more taxing, draining, and damaging to the human psyche than suppressing and oppressing Truth, is avoiding Truth.

And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. They will pass through it hard-pressed and hungry; and it shall happen, when they are hungry, that they will be enraged and curse their king and their God, and look upward. Then they will look to the earth, and see trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they will be driven into darkness. ~ Isaiah 8:19-22

I’m reminded of the great scene in Lawrence of Arabia where Mr. Dryden explains how Lawrence had head-faked himself. “If we’ve told lies, you’ve told half lies. And a man who lies, like me, merely hides the truth. But a man who tells half lies has forgotten where he’s put it.”  And this is not film director David Lean’s first appearance in Shutupnsing. His Colonel Nicholson “What have I done?” moment in Bridge on The River Kwai is the pending fate of our modern shepherds that haunts me.

ACCEPT THE LIGHT OF TRUTH! Black Lives Matter is a Communist Organization. The  24,000 Black Lives Murdered NYC 2016 Matter! Truth Matters! Seek out the Truth-Tellers! Tune out the liars. Stand in the light! When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. ~ Deuteronomy 201:1

“Alignment with heaven’s assignment brings a new confidence, new clarity and new authority.” ~ Lance Wallnau

1 in 136 needs to become 136 united for Him. Now is the time to leave the sinking fear-based church for the Fear Not Fellowship…for the love of God.

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ The End of Our IndoctriNATION

Posted on June 7, 2020 by Chip Murray

Standing On The Promises

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. ~ 1 Corinthians 14:33

Well if God didn’t author the present calamity of chaos and confusion, then who did? Answer in the proverbial nutshell; we did. Well, not necessarily you or I directly, but in so far as we are all responsible for, and accountable to one another, then it is not only appropriate for us to take the heat and own the flames that are consuming our cities, it is essential. Why? Because it is the first and most crucial step on the path to redemption. By now the Old Testament man, having hit our wall of shame, would have ripped his robe, shaved his head, put on the sackcloth, and gone down to the ash from whence he came…in the full remorseful state of repentance. Maybe we haven’t hit our bottom yet?

There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There’s too much confusion
I can’t get no relief…

So where did too much confusion come from? How and why did we, as a society in general, become so confused? Well wonder no more my Huckleberry Friend:

As the tyrants of the world have discovered by experience over more than a century, subduing people under collectivist rule for any length of time can be difficult—especially if the people can read and think, and if they know their history. But if the children can be brainwashed into collectivism early on in government schools, the process becomes much easier. And so, socialists and communists from around the world joined forces after World War II to create the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to advance that agenda. The primary goal of this new body was simple: control education around the world, weaponizing it to advance socialism, globalism, collectivism, and other dangerous “-isms” that threaten individual freedom and self-government. Indoctrinating Humanity With Collectivist Education

Business men, they drink my wine
Plowman dig my earth
None were level on the mind
Nobody up at his word
Hey, hey…

Somehow the New Testament man failed to learn the lesson of the Old Testament man, traded in his sack cloth for the gospel of “Social Justice”, and became the New World Order man.

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke

I know good men who have been taken prisoners by a thief so clever and skillful in the art of deception, they have absolutely no sense or awareness of their own captivity. They can’t see that the thief has repackaged their gifts, the very tools of their trade, turning the once straight nail into a crooked one…even the hammer that once hammered out warnings and dangers, hammers only the Thief’s clever illusion of love between my brothers and my sisters all over the land that once was. They can’t be at the bedside of the dying or attend their funerals. They can’t march for Life, or the REAL justice for the 23,209 black babies murdered in New York City in 2016. MORE KILLED THAN BORN! But when the Thief gives the “Social Justice” marching orders, they put their parade whites on!

But, uh, but you and I, we’ve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin’ falsely now
The hour’s getting late, hey… ~ Bob Dylan, All Along The Watchtower

The only church allowed by the Thief, is the one that takes a knee before the altar of Social Justice. It is a fear-based church that cannot speak the truth about the war we are in. The fear-based church is not allowed to discuss the real enemies of the church, their mission, or their tactics…worse, they are to twist the gospel to distort them into our “Social Justice” comrades. But you and I we’ve seen through that, and this is not our fate…our fate is to stand and fight! And, as Scott Kesterson puts it, “By fight, this means you push for truth, you stand for truth, you do not bend to the fear they want you to embrace. Fear is the greatest enemy in this war. And with God there can be no fear.” The Only Way Out Is Through

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ Our Final Warning

Posted on May 31, 2020 by Chip Murray

The Lost Boys

For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is Christ’s slave. You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. ~ 1 Corinthians 7:22,23

The picture at the top of the page was taken at the end of a free speech rally on the Boston Commons several years ago. Oath Keepers were asked to provide security for those who had organized the event. Antifa, which is mostly scrawny lost boys, radical professors, and other malcontents, were there in significant number. That is my partner Matt who had engaged one of them in conversation. There was always something that spoke to me in this shot…and now I know. It is a Fathered by God something…

You may see a man and three lost boys. I see a moment before our final moment. I see mankind in the three, yes, every single one of us. Then I turned myself to consider wisdom and madness and folly; For what can the man do who succeeds the king? I see the patience of a God who knows every man’s heart, as we stutter, stammer, and stumble before him in our words and deeds…save a very small remnant; Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. ~ 1 Corinthians 9:25

I see the do-no-harmers preparing their mark-of-the-beast doses for the baby-killing mothers, the uninitiated fathers, and lost-before-their-flock shepherds…who’ve done more to tenderize? Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six. ~ Revelation 13:16-17 Are you ready for your Contact Tracer?

On my 67th birthday He spoke the final warning to those with the hearts and minds to see and hear. He who knows every hair on every head knows what even Solomon with all his wisdom could not know, who will heed, and who will kneel before the beast.

And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs. The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright—words of truth. The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd. And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

Fear God and keep His commandments,                                                                          For this is man’s all.                                                                                                                    For God will bring every word into judgement,                                                              Including every secret thing,                                                                                                  Whether good or evil.                                                                                              ~                      ~ Ecclesiastes 12:9-14

Where is this Preacher today? Why do so many have so little knowledge about the affairs of the day in which they live? Who determines the words that are acceptable, upright, and true for the Preacher to deliver? Who have the flock of unknowing been made to fear? In the Lord I take refuge; how can you say to me, “Flee like a bird to the mountains; for lo, the wicked bend the bow, they have fitted the arrow to the string, to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do”? ~ Psalm 11:2,3

THE BOW IS CONTACT TRACING, AND THE ARROW IS THE VACCINE!

Where did this man go?

I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eyes upon you. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, else it will not keep with you. ~ Psalm 32:8,9

What has turned My church from a faith-based body of strength into a fear-based shell of weakness?

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ Healthy Questioning In Exam Time

Posted on May 24, 2020 by Chip Murray

The Eloi of the Fear-Based Church

Well Paul, there in lays the answer. He must think the word of God, the Bible is a Conspiracy Theory. He left, “The Group”. All knowledge and truths are based and found in the Word of God. A healthy Questioning of All Authority and its origin, is a prerequisite to conforming. I answer only to my Creator, and the gift of discernment and remaining teachable and humble. Truth is self-evident. But not by those filled with themselves, they call everything they cannot agree with or understand a conspiracy theory. ~ ID2020 & Agenda 2030: Pathway To A Global Government & New World Order

The opening comment addressed to me was from Andrew the administrator of the Facebook page New Yorkers Organized Against Authoritarianism. I had just finished a brief exchange with Tom, who had expressed his outrage over my posting the ID2020 article tying the Plandemic, and Agenda 2030 to Biblical prophecy. Me- “So where does Tom turn to for Truth? Tom- “everywhere. I’m a news junkie. Everything from Fox to CNN. And dozens of online agencies. Groups like this one. Following government people.” Me- “That’s encouraging. Do you consider the Bible a conspiracy theory?” …crickets.

I loved Andrew’s capitalizing Questioning of All Authority after the word healthy. But I think of it more as our utmost duty and obligation as Americans, to whom much is given, of him will much be required. ~ Luke 12:48…which brings us to Exam Time, Friday’s Maxwell Leadership read: And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven. ~ Genesis 22:10-11 Maxwell goes on to write, “While Abraham’s trial foreshadowed what God intended to do with His only begotten Son thousands of years later, it also provided Abraham with a leadership test. When is the last time God tested you? If you aren’t being tested, then you’re not really moving forward!”

  1. Leaders get tested at each stage of growth.
  2. The leader’s goal is to pass the test.
  3. Testing always precedes promotion.
  4. Self-promotion can never replace divine promotion.
  5. Promotion requires sacrifice.

The modern church has totally and officially failed the exam. It has turned and is turning Christians into Eloi food for the New World Morlock. How must a man respond to a church that refuses to fight because “the end is near”? The Lord keeps the end times as the mystery of all mysteries for good reason and purpose. None of us can know “the end is near”. How many times in the past two thousand years has it appeared so?

There are only so many Abraham’s and Thomas Moore’s sprinkled about history. And there was only one Jesus Christ. But #5 on the Maxwell Exam is the solid line connecting all three. We cannot imagine what it must have been like to be Abraham in that moment on the mountain in Moriah. Paul Scofield brilliantly puts us in the courageous shoes of St. Thomas in this powerful scene from A Man For All Seasons. And God took the action upon Himself, in making the sacrifice Abraham was prepared to make. All for what? For the modern church to compromise with the devil? Let the sodomites and abortionists be, keep off the political grass, and we’ll allow you to pass the collection plate…while we marginalize and label those among you who actually possess a spine, as radical and fundamental extremists.

It is fascinating to me that immediately following Exam Time, Maxwell gives us Value Values, and Prepare Your People for the Future as the readings for yesterday and today. And I wonder how in the world we can stand before Abraham, Saint Thomas, and our Lord Himself one day and explain how exactly we valued values, or how we expected to prepare our people for the future by teaching them not to fight for it? Did Saint Thomas appear passive and without fight as he was hours from the chopping block? Or did our Lord at any point from Gethsemane to Calvary lose His?

It is Faith, not fear that moves mountains. The fear-based church sickens me beyond words for its convenient safety. The church that grows larger in silent compliance is one half empty, and the other half full of hollowed out men. In today’s Maxwell, he writes, Like any good leader Paul issues a warning at the end of his letter about the tough times his people will face. They are up against Satan himself, an enemy who will do everything to stop their progress. Instead of moping about the situation about the situation, however, Paul lays out a specific plan for his Ephesian friends. They are not to approach this fight in their own strength, but remember that only God can defeat the enemy. Paul then instructs his readers to put one the whole armor of God, in order to stand and prevail. Serving as an officer under God, Paul issues the orders for the troops. When leaders practice the Law of Intuition, they provide their people with:

The Fear Not Fellowship

  • A strategy to win.
  • Knowledge of the opposition.
  • The resources they need.
  • A plan for how to use them.
  • Detailed Communication.

The Fear-Based Church

  • God has this.
  • We can’t discuss the opposition.
  • Only the resources the opposition allows us.
  • A plan of compromise and capitulation.
  • Politically correct communication only.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ~ Ephesians 6:10-11
