The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ Of Equanimity & Bifurcation

Posted on April 20, 2025 by Chip Murray

No One Can Stop What Has Already Come!

Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. ~ Luke 11:52

“When you understand God’s pattern…when you understand God’s wisdom, you stand firm on truth, and you never budge.” ~ Jarrin Jackson, Woe unto ye lawyers (DoJ divorces American Bar Association)

I had a good brother caution me yesterday, “Many believe the controllers are orchestrating the black hat/white hat dichotomy to foster a civil war and martial law.” He could be right/he could be wrong. Who are we to say? That, my friends, is the real question. Are we who they tell us we are, or are we who God made us to be?

Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee. And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in. And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me. My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear. ~ Nehemiah 6:10-14

God, grant us a sliver of Nehemiah’s discernment!

The ancients had the technical ability to manipulate crowds for the express purpose of harvesting their energy. Look it up!

This is a portion of Andrew Torba’s The Biggest Plot Twist In History: If you’ve spent anytime online lately, you’ve probably noticed everyone is buzzing about the latest season of Black Mirror on Netflix. Our culture’s appetite for dystopian stories seems insatiable. Every few years it feels like a new wave of bleak features floods our screens and bookshelves. Like many in my generation, I grew up on these cautionary tales, plug into grim cyberworlds in the matrix, watch masked rebels stand up to tyranny in V for Vendetta, and read Orwell’s 1984 in school. Dystopia is everywhere, and it’s become so familiar, so meme-able, that pointing it out almost feels cliché. But here’s the irony: While we eagerly binge-watch the latest Black Mirror episode and assure ourselves that these twisted realities would never really happen to us, we turn a blind eye to the creeping dystopia that is shaping our daily lives. (to hear the rest, tune into The Dystopia We Are Shaping at the 31:35min mark) Andrew Torba is the Christian CEO of GAB, the social media alternative to FB.

Now, one of my many mentors on spiritual warfare, Derek Prince’s warning from the grave takes on new meaning and shines a heavenly light on the shaper behind the dystopian curtain: “If he can control your thoughts, he can control your life.” ~Morning Prayer Against Negative Thinking NOTE: Don’t be fooled by the comments suggesting this was not DP but AI-generated “because he passed before the term social media was born.” FACT: The term social media was coined in 1997. Derek Prince passed in 2003.

The very first words I read when I woke yesterday morning in the intro to Nehemiah Chapter 10: The people renew their covenant with God

Did you know that fear of success is a real thing. It seems crazy but it has stifled and ruined more lives than we can possibly imagine. Why? Because, as Torba and Prince point out, we invite the enemy into our heads, to author our narratives, to control our mind and steal our hope and joy. I first thought the Ephesians 6:17 sword of the Spirit was the most important part of our full armor…and then the shield of faith, and now…in this day…is it not the helmet of our salvation…or are they all perfectly equal? Yes!

This goes back to last week’s SMTU, Our Deliverance, and the subject of energy. Just ask Nikola Tesla! Positive energy attracts positive results as well as good mental and physical health. Paul lays it out perfectly in Galatians 5:19-26 framing the works of the flesh vs the fruits of the Spirit. He put on my heart to reconnect with old friends last year. One, who I had lost all connection with since 1980, had his life shaped by a big-time gangster father, told me that in the previous year within a six-month period his only daughter was murdered by her boyfriend, his only sister was murdered by her ex, and his only brother died of an overdose. I told him I loved him yesterday. We can only point the way…but first, we have to know, think, and ACT the way. Brother Larry Mayo’s mantra:

PRAY ~ STUDY ~ ACT

He is calling in His sheep my friends. The Shepherd we shall not want is leading us to the green pastures and still waters, but WE need to come out of this world and into His. We have to make the choice between the equanimity found in our detachment from the idols of this world, or to remain glued to the mosh pit of our bifurcation. That choice is 100% ours and no one else’s! Lastly, if the shepherd of your church continues to refer to this HOLIEST of days as Easter, stand firm, look him square in the eye, and have him explain why. Come out of her and get right with the LORD! Happy Resurrection Day!

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ Our Deliverance

Posted on April 13, 2025 by Chip Murray

No Higher Calling: 12/28/22 Follow After Christ, Fight the Good Fight of Faith, Man of God ~ 1 Tim. 6:11-12

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

It is happening…the enemy is seen and knows it. The same enemy that has us deal by not dealing, the same enemy that has rendered us ineffectual through our own choices of avoidance over confrontation, safety over risk, and the most absolutely devastating choice of all; the choice to see the ELEPHANT in the room as a piece of furniture rather than the wide open door of invitation to every evil imaginable…taking our children, our property, our dreams, our hope and faith, our self-respect and honor, and ultimately our lives. Until now.

It has managed to infiltrate so many different social circles in our lives because we have been groomed and conditioned for most all of our lives to see it as anything other than what it actually is. It is, at its core, diabolical serpentine narcissism in nature, knowing who it can control and ultimately possess. It looks for children who have suffered abuse or neglect, the weak-minded, people who lack integrity, principle, character, confidence and courage…addicts, and alcoholics. Porn is the flashing neon sign that says to it, “Take me, I’m yours!”

Believe it or not, it sees our schools and churches as candy stores because these are the places where we are taught to include it, embrace it, to love and respect it. It feeds off the energy of others. Think of the two natures lesson from Romans 7, and the works of the flesh versus the fruits of the Spirit in Galatians 5. The former, left unchallenged in our circles will drain, disrupt, and ultimately destroy, while the latter will be experienced as uplifting and even joyful.

Chambers writes in Keep Inner Vision Clear, “Conscience is that faculty in me which attaches itself to the highest that I know, and tells me what the highest I know demands that I do. It is the eye of the soul which looks out either towards God or towards what it regards as the highest, and therefore conscience records differently in different people. If I am in the habit of steadily facing myself with God, my conscience will always introduce God’s perfect law and indicate what I should do. The point is will I obey?” You just read the very reason you will never hear the name Oswald Chambers mentioned from the vast majority of church pulpits in America today. If you are in one of these you need to come out of her.

I had a very interesting conversation with a good shepherd yesterday about our 19th Amendment being the beginning of our end…as we are watching wives lead their husbands away from the green pastures and still waters…he said, its too late to turn back, that will never happen. And I said, yes, if it were up to man, but never say never where God is in control. Here’s a bold truth that is sure to cost me a lady friend or two. If Eve was in the bathroom leaving Adam to get the door when the Devil came knocking, we wouldn’t be in this hell-hole of a mess we’ve created for ourselves. But I digress. Just now, brother Mark drops this nugget: A man will put his happiness aside for his woman, but a woman will put her man aside for her happiness. That, of course is a joke…isn’t it? But if am to steadily face myself with God to know His perfect law, then my inner vision turns crystal clear. God had a very good reason for creating man as the head of home and family. The 19th Amendment decapitated him. But as long as we’re on the subject…

I had this déjà vu BREAKTHROUGH vision this week through a delightful merging of Ezra 3:11-12 with Acts 2:1 after enduring a hopeless season of having allowed ourselves to be separated and siloed by this enemy, we by God’s grace are finding ourselves at the doorstep of our deliverance. IF, we will obey and decree from our hearts, “I WILL HEAR WHAT GOD THE LORD WILL SPEAK!” It won’t be easy…many of us will have to make some Ezra 10:3 sacrifices, but a small price to pay for a blissful eternity with the Father! …as sister Veronia drops “Mushy Mess” referring to yesterday morning’s driving conditions. “Why does God only speak to you,” the soldier asked. “God speaks to everyone, I just listen,” Joan of Arc relied.   

God grant we may not hinder those who are battling their way slowly into the light.   (Workmen) 

WOW…Thank You God! Ain’t it funny how time goes, the good times fast and the bad times slow. Just now You gave me a GEM of an idea: The Workmen Pastor’s Pledge! Our Constitutional Compliance coach and mentor GR created the NY Public Servants’ Pledge as a requirement to hold public office last year. Since our Salvation is infinitely more important than our Constitution, can I get a 2nd for the motion to install the Workmen Pastors’ Pledge in the by-laws of every church in America as a requirement to hold a position as sacred as that of a church pastor?

The Holy Spirit cannot be fooled…When a man gets rightly adjusted to God his conscience staggers him.    (Shad. Agony) Think about pre-Road to Damascus Saul, and Paul after his adjustment as you read his Acts 23:1 testimony to the Sanhedrin here: And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. We are ALL set in our ways and dancing in the dark, until we are rightly adjusted.

Back to the spirit that seeks desperately to keep us apart from true connection to God and our deliverance. Brother and friend Dr. Aaron Lewis shared some good advice the other day, “There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who add to your life and those who take away from it. It’s your duty to discern the difference.” Pastor Dave Bryan of Glad Tidings Church in Yuba City, CA, who I will have the pleasure of meeting this Summer takes our need for discernment quite a bit deeper for the simple reason that without understanding the nature behind the taker, there is little to no hope of their deliverance. Unlike the “two kinds” Dr. Lewis mentions, there are countless categories and types that range from benign to aggressive to the darkest and deadliest evil you can possibly imagine…If Anthony Weiner’s laptop could talk. For a better understanding of the darker spirit and the occult realms I would highly encourage you to read The Witchdoctor and the Man: City Under the Sea. It is the true story of Bishop Samuel Vagalas Kanco. Suffice to say, regardless of the kind or malevolent nature of the spirit that has entered your circle, your FAITH in God’s 1 John 4:4 Word is all you need. It CANNOT face a person armed with Holy Spirit who sees it, or remain in a circle of believers once it knows it has been discovered. It is absolutely powerless against Holy Spirit, and will do anything to survive…yes, even to flee into a herd of swine (Matthew 8:28-32). The very good news is this; the light of truth is shining brighter, spreading, and rippling out, and it cannot stand the light. So, contrary to what it needs for us to believe…

“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” ~ Winston Churchill

Lastly, check your circle of friends. Stay armored up in His Word. Remove the idols in your life. Pray and fast often. Find a true church blessed with a good shepherd. And reduce or eliminate the “Splinternet”!

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ Of Unity & Breakthroughs

Posted on April 6, 2025 by Chip Murray

NOT ON OUR WATCH!

I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly…Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. ~ Psalm 85:8,10

We, the church and state of America, I would argue, are the most divided we have ever been in our 250 years as a nation. I’ve devoted my life to two simple tasks since I retired in 2020; The John 17:21 healing of our denominational divide through CLOTH (Christian Leaders Of The Hudson) formed that Summer, and the healing of our Constitutional Republic through the remedy James Madison, the architect of our Constitution, prescribed known as Interposition, since early 2024 with a dedicated group of patriots led by GR Mobley of ReclaimingTheRepublic.org

God gave me an epiphany in the middle of my 40-day wilderness experience, back on March 15th, that I was going about it ass backwards as I recall, or at least that’s how I heard it. He said, “You (We) need to make saints before you can make Constitutionalists.” His Word: Make disciples of all nations.” So, that’s why I was slowly evolving into Bill Murray’s weatherman (watchman) character in the movie Groundhog Day!…just before the 40 days in the wilderness. The same day over and over…since 2009! The watchman warns, the church ignores. The watchman warns, the church ignores. The watchman warns, the church ignores…the Psalm 127:1 “watchman” speech Kennedy never gave in Dallas. He knew who was going to kill him.

Waking up yesterday morning to 2 Chronicles 32:1—33:25 imagining how Manasseh, son of Hezekiah, “one of the best Kings Judah ever had,” could end up becoming “the worst king Judah ever had.” Even though he sought the LORD in his affliction, humbled himself and was restored to his throne and finished well….and then BOOM Psalm 85:8,10….BREAKTHROUGH…Who listens to the prophets? Who knows the prophets’ curse? I asked them this yesterday morning and they answered, “Welcome to the club.” And yesterday afternoon without having a clue of what they had just told me, brother Mark texts this warning to our Orange Strong Bible study group: Before you call yourself a prophet do you know that the prophet Isaiah was cut in half…followed by the litany of fate suffered by them all including the Apostles…

Always act according to the wish that is born in you by the Spirit of God.   (Moral. Found.)

NOW…for the PIÈCE DE RÉSISTANCE…let’s bring it home. Buckle up Buttercup…           Unity in the church that would not listen: Dr. Ruckman’s take on Romans (8:22) In Unity Magazine, Vol. 48, No. 2, page 21 “through the mind of man the earth will be redeemed from all imperfection and creation restored.” Compare that with the statements of two Bible-believing ministers. Jonathan Edwards said, “When I look into my own heart and take a view of its wickedness, it looks like an abyss deeper than Hell.” Bishop Berkeley said, “I cannot pray but I sin. I cannot preach but I sin. My very repentance needs to be repented of, and my tears need washing in the blood of Christ.” Creation won’t be “restored” by man in his present state; over 85 wars since 1945 prove that. Creation won’t be “restored” until man himself is “restored” (vs. 21), and man won’t be “restored” until his Creator returns to destroy His enemies (Isa. 11:4-9)…which brings us to the following Word of God, and Oswald Chambers…and last night’s dream.

Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.       ~ 2 Chronicles 30:6

There were no nations until after the flood. After the flood the human race was split up into nations, and God called off one stream of the human race in Abraham, and created a nation out of that one man. ~ Oswald Chambers, Despicable Yet Chosen

I dreamed last night that I was on a bus full of people I did not know. We were on our way to a hospital. Its not clear to me that all the people were together, but there was a Jewish man who seemed to resent my presence. When the bus got to the hospital, I was invited to come into a room that looked like either an operating room or one where the patients are prepped…to pray over a baby that looked newly born. The mother and father were there. They were Jewish. The father was the doctor/surgeon. He smiled at me and told me he loved the Sunday Morning Tune-ups and could I please add him to the reader list. He recommended it to a male nurse as well…then I asked the mother’s permission for me to pray over her baby. She smiled and said of course. As I began to pray to Jesus, the grandfather pulled an 18” long knife and tried to stab me…actually piercing my skin…before I was able to repel him and escape to the bus. The rest is a fog…like many over the North Sea…and He told me it wasn’t an Iceberg but a name NOT of Abraham that rhymed with Iceberg that sank the Titanic. And He showed me the man of the same evil who took out the insurance policies on the Twin Towers…just before 9/11.  

So brothers and sisters, we have to wake up now. Kennedy is calling us from the grave…

Wisconsin Pastor Matt Trewhella does a great job breaking down who we truly are, how we got here, and how we are to handle the enemy through Interposition in an interview he gave brother Marshall from Justice in America Wednesday night:

Our Founders gave us True Federalism. True Federalism has all four of the great governments: Family government, Church government, Civil government, all which give rise to the fourth great government, Self-government. We don’t live in a True Federalism anymore, we live in a statist hell. The state has invaded Self-government. The state has invaded Family government. And unfortunately the churchmen have been busy playing the whore, and Covid revealed this, they have ceded the Church government over to the state.

The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate ~ When the higher ranking civil authority makes unjust or immoral law, policy, or court opinion, the God-given right and duty of the lesser-ranking civil authority is not to obey. Listen to the full interview here:

In closing we have two prayer requests: Please pray for Breakthrough at CLOTH in Circleville this afternoon on the family level, church level, civil, and self…and for the three captains with precious cargo deadly to the devil of our “statist hell” on the same mission to the port of our salvation…from three different angles of approach. Please pray for the saints to guide them in unity to our greatest breakthrough of all.

And please pray for this farm family as if it were your farm. Amen?

Members of a family from Clayton County Iowa were arrested this week while selling meats produced from their farm to an alleged PMA (Private Meeting Association) member who turned out to be a government plant. The husband/father and his daughter were apprehended by a deputy sheriff in front of the daughter’s children. Here’s the story HERE. I don’t believe it’s hyperbole to say this is a sign of things to come. Don’t wait for matters to become more dystopian before organizing in your county to petition government for the redress of grievances per the 1st Amendment. If you’re so moved call the Clayton County Sheriff’s office to voice your objection to these gestapo tactics. 563-245-2422 As I mentioned on a call with one of the deputy’s even if the letter of the law was violated the spirit of the law was in tact. Please keep the family in prayer.

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ Into the Middle

Posted on March 30, 2025 by Chip Murray

From the Hawk’s Nest

Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom. A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. ~ Proverbs 18:1-2

Today, Sunday March 30th, is day 39 of what was to have been 40 days of prayer and fasting in the wilderness. On day 30 God invited me to breakfast with the second half of Proverbs 20:13, open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. As I mentioned in the last Tune-up, this was the second time in ten years I was led to the wilderness by the God of Proverbs 18:1 desire to separate myself. Ten years ago it was for 14 days and He told me what He had to tell me on day 1 through Pastor Kirby’s message on James 4:8. This time He made me wait…until day 36!

Day 36: Faith gets us into the middle, which is God and God’s purpose.      (Moral Found.) Please read to the end for the message to “you” from the middle…

What nobody knew on day 1, including myself, was that He was going to lead me to the four compass prayer points of Orange County, West, East, North, and South in place of my usual attendance at Howells Church every Sunday. So, on March 2nd I prayed over every family in Orange County from Hawk’s Nest on the Delaware River. On March 9th I prayed over every family in Orange County from Trophy Point at West Point on the Hudson River. On March 16th I prayed over every family in Orange County from the Shawangunk’s, and on March 23rd I prayed over every family in Orange County from Greenwood Lake. The following Thursday, March 27th, day 36 God explained: Jesus…specifically, my FAITH in Him, put me in the exact middle of the four prayer points. It was exactly the same 30-minute ride to Hawks Nest, West Point, New Paltz (Ulster), and Greenwood Lake from my home in Slate Hill!   

On the first Compass Prayer Point Sunday listening to the “Gospel Train” on Bluegrass Junction on my way to Hawk’s Nest, I was treated to “Wilderness” by the Isaacs! Of course!

But it wasn’t on just the horizontal compass points, He had to lift me above the noise below where I could see what so many are not seeing…He showed me the invincible formula of Faith & Righteousness through brother George’s Daniel 6:28 text on that morning of day 36…which led me to 6:22, My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Peter Ruckman’s Notes drove the lesson deeper: (6:28) From a devotional point of view, we learn from Daniel 6 that: 1) the root of all sin in time and eternity is envy (Gen. 4:3-8; Isa. 14:12-15); 2) the Devil’s main realm is religion, not sensuality; 3) you can be uncompromising without being foolish; and 4) you my go into a “den of lions,” but God will go in with you. “The lion of the tribe of Juda” (Rev. 5:5) can handle the “roaring lion” (1 Pet. 5:8).

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. ~ Psalm 82:5 It is a dangerous thing to refuse to go on knowing.   (Utmost)

He used a United States senator to reveal the Psalm 82:5 HELL we have inherited as the DIRECT result of zero church leadership and the cowardly silence from our pulpits! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2HKlVYKAII

And on the very same day He presents the starkest contrast imaginable by showing me the cultural benefits of Godly leadership in the 2 Chronicles 19:1—20:37 story of Jehosaphat!

These Godly leadership vignettes were the reason God brought me here…it began the completion of Naval Commander Rob Green’s book, Defending the Constitution Behind Enemy Lines (Which happens to be America…perhaps the greatest casualty of the MIA church) As my friend Woody pointed out, Commander Green’s book is the only book he has ever seen garner 5 stars in 100% of the reviews on Amazon! Having the moral courage to expose the immoral actions of those who ordered men and women faithfully serving their country to VIOLATE THEIR OWN CONSCIENCE…here in America!!! James Madison wrote in his essay on property, “Conscience is the most sacred property of all.” I urge all Americans to read his book. His ordeal inspired him to call us ALL to “faithfulness to conscience.”

Paul, leading by example in 1 Thessalonians 1:7; 2:2-4

Hillsdale College President Larry P. Arnn on Learning, Character, Faith, and Freedom:

“Ends are higher than means, and the highest ends are the best and most beautiful to know. Such ends are indicated in authoritative American use by the expression, ‘the laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.’ That phrase is used in the Declaration of Independence to justify the nation itself…If freedom and equality are established in the nature of things, then they may not be violated rightly by anyone, even if he is the King of England or the totalitarian dictator of Germany…We are facing a situation like the ones our forebearers faced in the American Revolution and the Civil War…We have found in short the principle, and therefore the essence, of the human. Created in the image of God, humans are meant to know, to be free, and to love the best things. These things are not automatic: they must be cultivated. This cultivation gives all human life the purpose that makes it what it is. We think we and all others have a right to pursue this cultivation. It is the ultimate human right, and it must be defended.”

Iconic NFL coach Vince Lombardi’s words, “The will to win is not nearly so important as the will to prepare to win.”

“Only the evil attack the protectors.” ~ Craig “Saw Man” Sawyer

Two revelations on the morning of Day 16, the first and last letters of Winston Churchill’s name spells WILL. It was the strength of the will of this one man when the majority had none, that saved England, and the world. And, Acts 5 Ananias and Sapphira are today’s church, bringing their certain part and keeping back the rest. Whatever we possess for ourselves is of the nature of sin. (Moral Found.)

When you begin to deport yourself among men as a saint, they will leave you absolutely alone, you will be reviled and persecuted. No man can stand that unless he is in love with Jesus Christ; he cannot do it for a conviction or a creed, but he can do it for a Being whom he loves. ~ Oswald Chambers, Systemic Vexation

“I pray that genuine people stand up and speak the truth. And I pray more so for genuine Christians to stand up and speak the truth, without hesitation, without reservation, without fear or hypocrisy. I pray for that. I believe if the church was extremely firm…I’m talking about the universal church, Christendom. If Christendom was genuine, truly genuine, I don’t think so many things the world would have gotten away as they did. But the problem is there is a lot of hypocrisy and there’s a lot of infiltration in the hierarchal positions within the church. It’s been infiltrated and that’s why some church leaders have sold the flock.” ~ Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel

Jesus Christ can make the weakest man into a divine dreadnought, fearing nothing.  (Servant as Lord)

And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD? ~ 1 Chronicles 29:5

“The closer you get to God, the weirder you get to people. The Devil’s strategy is make sin look normal, and make righteousness look weird. To be right with God is to be wrong with the world. To be right with the world is to be wrong with God. If you blend in and you look like everybody else in the world, and you claim to be a follower of Jesus, I question you a little bit. When you live for eternity you will always seem out of place in a world chasing temporary things. God taught us to be set apart, not to fit in. But who cares about what people think about you in this world? Jesus was thinking about you on the Cross. And His opinion of you will never change! Can I get an Amen?” ~ BardsFM guest

We have no business to bow our necks to any yoke saving the yoke of …Jesus Christ.   (Bib. Psych.)

Finally, thus sayeth the LORD:

You, you know who you are. You who write for yourself books about My Word, yet do not know Me because you have no relationship with Me, no loyalty to Me, and no trust in Me. Your children have no faith because they see no faith in you. They do not see Me in you. Worst of all, I commissioned you to feed My sheep, care for My sheep, and to PROTECT My sheep…False Shepherds can lead by example too. Aside from lacking a single leadership quality presented above God brought me into the middle to show me, you have led a circus of the hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil monkeys away from the middle to the sidelines of the life I created them to live! And, as if that weren’t pastoral dereliction enough, you led them to be nice to the wolf. Lastly, you bowed your neck to the yoke of man IN FEAR of a cold…and IN FEAR without discernment you allowed DNA-altering poison into the body of My church.

Thus sayeth the LORD.

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ The Wilderness

Posted on February 23, 2025 by Chip Murray

We were always meant to play this part…

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. ~  Matthew 4:1-2

It’s been ten years since I was led of the Spirit, away from my comfort zone and into the wilderness of sorts. Oswald Chambers writes of Jesus’ Transfiguration, “And when by obedience He had transformed His natural life into a spiritual life, earth had no more hold on Him.” In Friday’s P&FW, inspired by Maxwell’s GROWTH = CHANGE, I wrote, “Sometimes it takes 40 days in the wilderness…”

And now, ten years later, He is leading me away again, on this the fourth day of forty. The point of GROWTH = CHANGE is that there is no growth without change, and people unwilling to grow will never reach their potential. And, as Christians, our potential is nothing less than the sons and daughters our Creator has made us to be. Now, place yourself in the Matthew 17:1-13 sandals of Peter, James, and John as they beheld the radiant glory of the supernatural transformation before their very eyes…and ponder His promise to us in John 14:12, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Now, I need to switch gears here in order to set the stage for the bigger picture. King Theoden from Lord of the Rings, who sits on his throne paralyzed, is bound to his seat by lethargy and passivity. He’s kept there by Grima Wormtongue, a weaselly servant who whispers dispiriting cowardly lies in his ear. Too many people on our screens, on our newspapers, in our schools and colleges, have been modern-day Grima Wormtongues who pour their cowardly lies in our ears and those of our children (loud applause). ~ Konstantin Kisin speaking at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Conference in the UK ~ Konstantin Kisin’s HILARIOUS and INSPIRATIONAL Speech at ARC

In the UK!!! Where they are imprisoning people for “liking” a Pro-Life comment on social media. God, for the second time in ten years, has called me to the wilderness again. The last time it was 14 days; this time it’s 40 days because something massive is coming that I am nowhere near prepared for. And, brothers and sisters, if I am nowhere near prepared, I fear I am far from alone. What Konstantin Kisin so brilliantly described above is exactly what has been done to us  here in America as well, with one glaring difference; we are protected by our 2nd Amendment, which they are desperate to eliminate, along with the rest of our Bill of Rights, our Constitution…AND US!

The Constitution is the bedrock and founding document establishing the construct, the rule of law, and the civilization we have built as Americans. Those who wish to undermine the Constitution, and strip away the rights enshrined therein, have aligned themselves against a stalwart group that has taken an oath to defend the Constitution against those very actions.  As military members we are used to thinking about enemies of the Constitution as being some sort of foreign threat. However, the battle lines have shifted, and domestic threats, including some from within our own government, are now coming after our inalienable Constitutional rights. ~ Naval Commander Robert A. Green, Jr, Defending the Constitution Behind Enemy Lines

There are three Biblical 40-day fasts in the wilderness I know of: Moses, when he ascended Mt. Sinai to receive man’s first instruction guide to life on earth. Elijah, unto a cave in Horeb the mountain of God, fleeing the persecution of Jezebel where God gave him his “new commission” which led to the prophesied end of Jezebel. And finally, our LORD Jesus upon receiving his new commission, the test of His mettle, and our ultimate salvation. Pivotal moments, each and every one.

I see us in an even greater and more desperate pivotal moment now because the spirit of Jezebel is very much alive and well, our own government, as Commander Green points out, has out-grimed Grima Wormtongue, and our churches who have disenfranchised themselves from the harsh realities of everyday life, are Theoden; paralyzed and bound to their pulpits and pews by lethargy and passivity. As Kris “Tanto” Paranto warned the ill-fated security team responsible for protecting the life of Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi in 2012, “I hate to rain on your parade ladies…but you’re not ready!”  

The wilderness, in my case, is a metaphor for unplugging and disconnecting. When I think of the profound revelation an unsaved man received on the Wyoming mountaintop in 2015, and how it has prepared me to climb higher to the next, I am filled with a wonderful spirit of adventure, as I shared with Pastor Mark just last night. I apologize in advance to those who look forward to the Sunday Morning Tune-ups (today’s will be the last until 3/30) and Prayer & Fast Wednesday INVITES, although I would urge you to continue the routine. In the meantime, I would encourage you all to find your own wilderness in the days ahead. Deception relies on noise.

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ My Utmost

Posted on February 16, 2025 by Chip Murray

Church of the Hireling

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? ~ Luke 11:13

MY PLEDGE: America must win this war. Therefore; I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone. ~ From the diary of PV2 Martin Treptow killed in ACTION at the age of 24 in 1918

I listened to the voice of President Reagan pay tribute to Private 2nd Class Martin Treptow, who I had never heard of, on BardsFM the other night. (listen at the 2:25min mark) NO MORE HIDING! There was an instant connection to Oswald Chambers who also died in ACTION a year earlier, while ministering to men like Martin Triptow, bringing God’s light where it was needed most. There is a simple stone in Old Cairo Cemetery that is inscribed A BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST, with a Bible opened to Luke 11:13, that scripture that God used to take hold of young Oswald at the point of his utter despair. My moment of utter despair came to me on a Wyoming mountaintop in 2015, at which point God finally took hold of me with James 4:8. When I came off that mountaintop, Cookie Boone introduced me to Oswald Chambers by gifting me her copy of Chambers’ My Utmost Devotional Bible. Do you see how masterfully our Father works in us? Just yesterday in this great work of his, God wants to use us as He used His own Son.  (Run), The Great Conception. God saved me on that mountaintop so I could deliver HIS message today.

My Old Friend

And in the naked light, I saw…children in cages screaming for you to come and rescue them.

Ten thousand people, maybe more…calling you, writing you, begging you to show up & stand.

People talking without speaking…from the artful dodger, great imposter, Pied Piper all in one.

People hearing without listening…His Word from the heart of a good shepherd is the key.

People speaking truths that voices never shared…because the armor bearer lost his faith.

So no one dared… disturb the sound of silence.

SO, our New York Senator Skoufis is co-sponsoring S 138, the Medical Aid in Dying Act (MAID). A 136 in the Assembly, and my old friend, true to form, sends me MLK Jr’s I have a Dream Speech with “What’s your DREAM that you’re willing to pour your life into?” Do you see how masterfully our Father works in us?

They have become as little girls with their dollhouses…in their world of make believe. Well, all I can say is wait ‘til your Father gets home! Meanwhile our Abba Father always provides a few good men willing to put our utmost gloves on to rebuild a Republic that most certainly will not rebuild itself.

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ Elder

Posted on February 9, 2025 by Chip Murray

Our “Elder” Statesman

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, ~ John 8:9

In John 8:1-11 the story of the “woman taken in adultery,” Jesus (vs. 6) was writing Lev. 20:10 and Deut. 22:22 in the sand…the law requiring both the guilty man and woman to be stoned. Interrupted (vs. 7), He finishes his writing (vs. 8). He knew the man was one of them. In He Is the Judgment, Chambers writes, One of the most remarkable things about Jesus Christ is that although He was full of love and gentleness, yet in His presence everyone not only felt benefited, but ashamed. It is His presence that judges us; we long to meet Him, yet we dread to…In Dr. Ruckman’s footnotes on verse 9, he writes, The “eldest” had the most sins to cover because he had lived longer. A famous Christian combat leader in the Dark Ages, when counterattacking the Catholic armies, said, “Come, come brethren! Let us play the men for our people and the cities of our God. He who goes first, goes cleanest!”

I have long ago given up correcting those who refer to me as pastor. One good brother I had the good fortune to meet at a unity prayer breakfast in Queens several years ago has referred to me as Elder ever since. Things might have turned out much differently for the John 8 woman had God not shown up when He did. He is preparing the way for our own John 8 moment today. America played the harlot…He sent our John…we planted our seed in ’23…we prayed for His mercy in ’24…He answered our prayers on November 5th…What have we learned?

I love the Epoch Times TRUTH, TRADITION, HOPE banner because it displays the perfect order of things. Truth must come before all things. Without truth, there is no tradition, and without tradition to pass on there is little to no hope…a line of despair God’s mercy saved us all from crossing on November 5th. But again, what have we learned? If God has truly anointed me as an Elder, what does this mean? What does He expect of me?

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. ~ 1 Timothy 5:17

Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind. ~ 1 Peter 5:2

Discernment is the power to interpret what we see and hear.  (Perfect) Oswald Chambers, Enter in by the Door

But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. ~ John 10:12

William Booth saw today’s hirelings a full century and a quarter away!

November 5th was much more than the answer to prayer, it was the apex of the age Booth warned us of. As Elon and his “four young coders” just revealed for all the world to see (as most will tune in tonight); the age of imposters!

The clock struck 2 AM on Jan 21, 2025. In Treasury’s basement, fluorescent lights hummed above four young coders. Their screens cast blue light across government-issue desks, illuminating energy drink cans and agency badges. As their algorithms crawled through decades of payment data, one number kept growing: $17 billion in redundant programs. And counting. OVERRIDE: INSIDE THE REVOLUTION REWIRING AMERICAN POWER

This recent quote from the Bishop who called the world to its knees in a corporate prayer for God’s mercy last Summer: “Reality is under time, truth is above time. Yesterday I was, today I am, tomorrow I will be. Yesterday Jesus is, today Jesus is, tomorrow Jesus is.” ~ Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel

What does the impostor fear most my friends? Truth! Do you remember when I asked my readers to imagine truth as a friend, and how our relationship to our friend may have grown more distant and colder over the past 17 years, and especially the past 5? Well, Booth saw the age where friends would marginalize friends to preserve their own sense of security in the below time reality as they perceive it to be. And he knew that imposters would murder to preserve the same. This is exactly why in the early days of our nation; you had to be a Christian to hold public office. Because, to a Christian, salvation is far more important than survival and, or power. So, in closing I must ask my readers what have we learned, and where do we go from here? I know for myself, as an elder with the most sin to cover, I most definitely will answer the call to go first.

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ With or Without You

Posted on February 2, 2025 by Chip Murray

Dominant Feminine IS The Jezebel Spirit and Spawn of Satan!

And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldst send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it. ~ Nehemiah 2:5

These Tune-ups usually write themselves in a chronological order of events, with the most recent bringing up the rear so to speak. But today’s will start with how my today (now yesterday) started with this gem of an article that Bro Frank claimed “has (my) name on it” that totally captures the “seismic energy shift” that wrote itself into the last Tune-up: J.D. Vance vs. Margaret Brennan Exposed What’s Killing Our Country: The Karens (pictured above)

DFS is killing our country! You can take it to the bank! Two weeks ago, it was the waterless Lesbian Fire Brigade that cost thousands of people in Los Angeles CA their homes. And this week in Washington DC, it was an FAA DEI target-hire placing those having “severe intellectual, and psychiatric disabilities, hearing and vision impairments, paralysis, epilepsy, and dwarfism”, into Air Traffic Control positions, that cost a jet load of passengers, mostly children, their lives. DFS, Dominant Feminine Syndrome is not only killing our country, its destroying Western Civilization! Oh, but there’s more my friends… “Blackmail Strings and Hidden Wars”…and Ritual Sacrifice!

Remember Bishop Mariann Budde’s 15 minutes of fame last week? Matt Walsh on Blasphemous DEI Bishop Budde…calling it for what it is; “emotional blackmail”!

Feminine Energy: “We need to pray for her.”
Masculine Energy: “Grossly misusing the pulpit to advocate for policies that erode these principles is neither biblical nor constructive; it’s demonic.”

The Battle For America & Western Civilization:

Feminine Energy: “Its not my fight.” (my former pastor)

Masculine Energy: “This day will the LORD deliver thee into my hands; and I will smite thee; and take thine head from thee {1 Sam. 17:46};

From here looking back to brother Ryan’s Make No Provision For The Flesh (Romans 13:14), the struggle of our two natures message several weeks ago, he made a sacrifice of himself (flesh). As God led me into 1 Samuel-2 Samuel Bad King to Good King (Tale of Two Struggles), our Nehemiah 2:5 moment, with Jesus’ With or Without You moment in John 6:52-71! Nothing Jesus Christ ever said is common sense, it is revelation sense.    (Utmost) Oswald Chambers, The White Funeral, ALL lining up perfectly with this powerful TRUTH about Prayer & FASTING.

…and his greatness is unsearchable {Psalm 145:3}.

Friends…God’s voice is becoming louder and clearer for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. We are in our 1 Samuel/2 Samuel Bad King to Good King hour, with President Trump somewhat of a David/Jehu hybrid. AND he is absolutely decimating the Old Guard Wall, which means, WE are also in our Nehemiah 2:5 moment, just as this seismic energy shift, by God’s grace and mercy, is taking place! Can I get a Hallelujah, Amen? Who will join us in building the new (Constitutional) wall?

For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. (Prov. 28:2) The verse explained what’s happened in America. Once bureaucrats make up a seventh of any population, their job is to stay in office and make the population support them. ~ Dr. Peter Ruckman, Ruckman Reference Bible

Ruckman makes the connection between princes and bureaucrats, but what has happened in America would never have been possible without Satan having perverted our society with DFS. This is simply because the PROTECTOR/WARRIOR/SHEEPDOG in the healthy M/F balance would never have allowed it! He made this crystal clear to me in His Psalm 144:6,12 pairing:

Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace. ~ Psalm 144:6,12 It breaks my heart beyond words…DFS destroyed childhood!

So, my brothers…What is our Purpose?

The joy of anything, from a blade of grass upward, is to fulfill its created purpose.  (Love of God) Oswald Chambers, Our Eternal Life

So, my brothers…What is our Duty and Obligation?

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. ~ Proverbs 27:23

And Church…The enemy is fully engaged and doing ritual sacrifice right under your nose. How long will you continue to fly blind? This is your John 6:52-71 moment, and God is speaking to you here, loudly and clearly. Business as usual is death!

Signs of DF (Dominant Feminine) Syndrome

  • Safety & Security over Freedom & Liberty
  • Diversity & Inclusion over Merit & Competence
  • Social (man’s) Justice over Mosaic (God’s) Justice
  • Censorship & Control over Competition & Debate
  • Feelings over Facts
  • Color over Character
  • Emotion over Integrity
  • Subjective over Objective
  • Capitulation over Courage
  • Comfort over Confrontation
  • Blame over Accountability

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ By Mercy and Truth

Posted on January 26, 2025 by Chip Murray

   Kathleen Sebelius, Former HHS Director                  Bishop Mariann Budd

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil. ~ Proverbs 16:6

By mercy and truth friends. God’s mercy on us, and our relationship with truth. This has been a week for the record books in ways too numerous to count here. How about, The Week Truth Returned To America, or, The Week America Returned To Truth? Starting with President Trump’s rearranging the letters in DEI to spell DIE, which is exactly what it did. The great Marxist lie died a glorious death…bringing DEI Bishop Budd to tears. The next deadly acronym to fall victim to the mighty sword of our liberation, the WHO…drawing these words from our former COVID Queen Kathleen Sebelius, “Without the United States Global Health Will Fall Apart,” which translated means, Without American Taxpayers Global Elites Will Become Poorer And The American People Will Become Healthier And Wealthier!”

What is happening in America goes much, much deeper than most people realize. There has been something far greater than a political shift, there has been a seismic energy shift in our nation. Truth is making a comeback on a warhorse named Masculinity, much to the chagrin of the devil’s twin divas above! And the people of Los Angeles could not be happier to welcome him. A Blue city literally dominated by radicalized feminine energy, welcomed the father with Trump banners on overpasses. HE’S BACK!!!

The shift is manifesting as a restoration of patriarchal energy that has been gradually suppressed for the last sixty years until near extinction. The work of Satan, creating a void, giving rise to the lies of Feminism, Progressivism, and Communism. Objective truth, the foundation of all society, slowly crumbled into a subjective mosh pit of chaos and confusion…the perfect environment for corruption, tyrants, and Satan whose #1 goal was to eliminate the father as head of the nuclear family. And where was the church through it all?

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged. It was sometime last Summer I believe that Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel called all Christians around the world to pray for God’s mercy every morning at 8:30am. I believe the last three months have seen our prayers answered, but that’s only half of the formula. What about truth? If truth were a person, would he or she have found you to be a true friend through thick and thin? Or, would truth have noticed a cooling off, or a distance in your friendship over the past seventeen years, or especially the last five? Or would truth have watched you slowly disappear. I saw three very loyal and extremely close friends of truth actually get disinvited to a Revival event year before last, and another called to task over his lack of “Biblical manner” in defending truth just the other day.

Interestingly, I was listening to the weekly podcast by our Constitutional coach and mentor GR Mobley this past week in which he read a letter that a Communist had sent to the Reverend Billy Graham which begged the question, “Are we as Christian patriots as committed to our God and Constitution as Communists are committed to their god and ideology?”  ~ Holding Our Public Servants Accountable

The truth is that the American church has taken on a relationship to truth that is indifferent, selective, and/or a complete or partial rejection of truth by removing itself from the position of civic influence it once held. The tragic truth is that nowhere is the oppression and suppression of patriarchal alpha-male energy more evident than in our American churches. Pastor Steve writes in his pre-worship devotional this morning, Therefore, “knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep” (Romans 13:11) I believe that God in His mercy has given America a new “lease” on life, in answer to prayer, and to deliver her from the brink of self-destruction – “that glory may dwell in our land” (Psalm 85:9)! The question is what are we as men of the church prepared to do with our new “lease” on life? Will we continue to watch this American life grind on without us? Or will we finally awake out of sleep and embrace the truth that there can be no American life, as American life was divinely envisioned, without us! #AskingForAFriend!

The Sunday Morning Tune-up ~ Church of the Saul Spirit

Posted on January 19, 2025 by Chip Murray

The Absence of Biblical Manhood!

Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day. ~ I Samuel 28:18

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood {Eph. 6:12}. It hit me like a freight train this week! Reading 1 Samuel 17:1—23:29, the story of the struggle between God’s anointed (David) and the enemies of God (Saul), I realized we, America, are wrestling with the very same evil today in the exact same story told in 1 Samuel 17-23; God’s anointed (America) vs the enemies of God (the Saul spirit), which rules all seven cultural mountains…including our churches. When I saw the LA Mayor meme above my instant thought: THIS is why God ordered Joshua to annihilate ALL flesh at Jericho, not because He’s a cruel God, but because that is how much He loves and wants to protect His children! He gave the same order to Saul concerning the Amalekites for the very same reason. What did Moses tell us?  He (Moses) said, “For a hand is upon the throne of YHWH! YHWH will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.” Saul disobeyed God and it cost him his kingdom and eventually his life.

“Soon after their departure from Egypt, the Israelites are attacked at Rephidim by the Amalekites, a semi-nomadic people (Exod 17:8).[1] After the Israelites defeat their attackers,[2] YHWH paradoxically commands Moses to write on a scroll the promise to erase the memory of Amalek. Moses then swears that YHWH will be eternally at war against Amalek, implying that their remembrance will never be erased:

This seeming paradox continues in the retelling of the event in the book of Deuteronomy, where the Amalekites are declared to be Israel’s archrival from the past who must be annihilated, this time as a mission to be fulfilled by Israel themselves:

Earlier in the passage, Deuteronomy offers two additional reasons that do not appear in Exodus for this attitude toward Amalek: 1. The Amalekites used the cruel tactic of targeting the weak tail-end of the pack; 2. They do not fear God:” https://www.thetorah.com/article/amalek-a-pawn-in-the-rivalry-between-saul-and-davids-legacy

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. ~ Proverbs 16:6

The Saul spirit absolutely rules both church and state today. And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? ~ 1 Sam. 18:8 There was a moral battle going on, not just a physical one. David had won the moral battle. David had whipped “the fear of man”; Saul had not. (18:21) Notice the contrast. Saul is a murderer (vs. 17); a liar (vs. 19), a coward (vs. 12), and covetous (vs. 8). The man he is “up against” is a wise man (vs. 14), a loved man (vs. 16), a humble man (vs. 18), and a brave man (vs. 8). ~ Dr. Peter Ruckman

The very same moral battle rages today…

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. ~ John 1:17

By mercy and truth, grace and truth, and by the light of Jesus Christ iniquity is purged. The spirit of Saul has decimated our churches turning them into silos of retreat, recreation, isolation and cultural irrelevance, as Western Civilization, absent their presence and influence, crumbles around them. Last week it was the Industrialization of Islamic Child Rape sanctioned in the UK and the LA Fires brought to us by the absence of Biblical Manhood where it matters most in men lacking the stones to tear down the high places. One can only imagine what lies in store…

But God…and His Remnant.
