Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. ~ 1 Corinthians 12:1
I had a powerful dream last night, a dream in which I was with a group of men preparing for war. One of the men in our group with a very dark and menacing countenance was attempting to provoke me into a fight when the call came to move into battle. Just as we were on the verge of engaging the enemy, another man whose countenance was pure and saintly stood up and called off the attack. When I saw the group in full war-mode resisting his call, I bellowed at the top of my lungs, “I support you 100%!” Just then the dark spirited man came up from behind me with a knife and sliced me to death. That’s when I rose to my feet, grabbed him with supernatural strength and threw him to the ground so hard his head cracked open…and I awoke…into a 1 Cor. 13 world of peace and love.
Today’s Tune-up was originally to be entitled The Pollyanna Christian, until I watched Mario Murillo’s powerful message last night.
“A Pollyanna is a blindly or foolishly optimistic person. The term derives from Eleanor H. Porter’s 1913 novel, Pollyanna, about an orphan with an unjustifiably optimistic attitude. The word is primarily an Americanism. It is rare in British and Canadian English, but it appears relatively often in Australian and New Zealand English.”
But that all changed when I watched Mario see a move of the Holy Spirit this year that will be so profound it will claim its first two victims; First to fall will be the Atheists with no place left to hang their hats, and second to fall will be the non-supernatural churches, felled by their own 1 Cor. 12:1 ignorance. “The non-supernatural church will go out of business.” ~ Mario Murillo
AND, this coming on the heels of yesterday’s Psalm & Proverb a Day which just happened to have included the 1 Cor. 12:1 spiritual gifts the Cessationists would have us believe ended with the Apostles. AND right before my supernatural death and rebirth the following morning!
Let’s connect the supernatural dots, shall we? First, Catherine Austin Fitts who relied on the fruits of the Holy Spirit and the People’s Bank to survive and thrive after an 11-year attempt by the evil that has hijacked our government to destroy her. Her company motto: If We Can Face it, God Can Fix It…dovetailed into Church of Glad Tidings Pastor Dave Bryan’s, “People don’t want to know because knowing would morally bind them to act.” Pollyanna is the name Jamie Walden used for the church that doesn’t want to know…
“It ALL traces back to DC. It comes full circle to Mystery Babylon. It says, ‘And they trafficked in the souls of men (Rev. 18:13).’ It’s not the Vatican, which is wicked beyond imagination, it’s the United States of America. You just don’t want to know what’s going on (EXACTLY as Pastor Dave Bryan called it!). You don’t want to know why they call it District of Columbia. You don’t want to know why most of the presidents graduated from Columbia University. You don’t want to know what’s going on in the Freemasonic stuff, or with the Illuminati. You don’t want toknow what’s going on with the raising of Osirus, and all the ceremonies. You don’t want to know about Bohemian Grove. You don’t want to know why it’s called the City Of Angels, or which angels, nobody asks that. And you don’t want to know in what God they trust that’s written on the back of your talisman dollar bills in your pocket. You don’t want to know…and it’s founded on the souls of men…more importantly, on the souls of children.” ~ SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW
“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”–G K Chesterton
…while the Pollyannic Pretenders march to their own graves, taking those foolish enough to follow with them.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. ~ Psalm 23:4
While I highly value every word in the Leadership acronym, none of them are as important to my mind as Loyalty, Accountability, and Honor. Sadly, these happen to be the three qualities in short supply across most all of our cultural institutions. Leaders of generations past who were raised on Psalms and Proverbs, have been replaced by creeping shadows of men weaned on Das Kapital and Rules For Radicals. Choosing the fountain of death over the living waters, they settle for the darker powers, over the Proverbs 24:5-6 gifts of God, A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counselors there is safety.
In yesterday’s Psalm & Proverb a Day, I included John Maxwell’s PREPARE YOUR PEOPLE FOR THE FUTURE ~ Ephesians 6:1-11. Interestingly, this same morning I wake up to an old high school buddy’s post about a NJ bar owner who canceled a Springsteen cover-band’s upcoming gig because of Springsteen trashing our President in front of European audiences this past week. In the comments, our other high school friend took exception. “Why punish these guys who had nothing to do with Springsteen’s recent actions.” I shared with him my exchange with an old Tea Party friend who posted a picture of himself and “the Boss” back in the day. I asked him to imagine my 4th great grandfather Andrew Murray, dishonorably discharged after being wounded at Lake George, proudly displaying a picture of himself smiling and chumming it up with Benedict Arnold. We are at war, and the tragic fact is that the vast majority of those around us expend their time and energy mired in the (horizontal) world of the flesh, are missing those Eph. 6:12 principalities and powers coming for their children! They are literally missing the war!
I have another friend who posted an invite to an upcoming event. “Connected Leaders Tour: Hudson Valley”. So, I asked her for more info, and this was her response, “Fresh insights from the church, actionable strategies, a focused discussion on integrated faith, and networking opportunities.” Anita is both friend and prayer warrior, in fact she has recently published a book, Armed for Prayer, but why in the world would I go to leaders who were proven disloyal to their King, who displayed zero accountability and honor when put to the test, for insights or strategies other than to possibly learn how to avoid the very Valley He has called us to?
Fortunately for all of us, Anita and others like her have turned out to fill the ranks men have failed to fill. This clip is extraordinary in its revelation of the energy gone missing in our culture, which Charlie Kirk explains brilliantly to a young man who has NO idea what it means to be a man. My favorite line, tailored perfectly for today’s Tune-up: “God will call you out of a place of comfort and into duty.”
And thank God for the old lions among us! Thomas Sowell on the Sean “P Diddy” Combs trial, “The first lesson of economics is scarcity. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics. The true measure of society is not how it treats its celebrities, but how it treats its most vulnerable.” Our 94-year-old “National Treasure”!
This week I learned that Scott Kesterson and I share a very similar dream. In his dream he stood in the Valley all by himself against an entire army. I know that exact feeling…it’s unconditional commitment. Remember last week, God equips our subconscious in our dreams based on the truth we either accept or reject in the light of day. In Scott’s dream Jesus appeared at his side. In mine, His army of angels appeared behind me. Honor! “Somethin’ about the way he talked, make a bully run away.”
So, on this Memorial Day weekend, as we Honor those men and women who willingly entered into the Psalm 23:4 Valley to give their ALL, this from the Apostle Paul on Christian discipline, followed by Dr. Peter Ruckman’s note:
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. ~ 1 Corinthians 9:27
(9:27) This is the Roman Catholic proof text that an apostle can lose his salvation (see note on John 13:13), because the Popes interpret “castaway” as “going to Hell.” The admonition has to do with God “putting a man on the shelf” as far as service is concerned because he is useless and not bearing fruit (see 1Cor. 10:12; John 15:6). ~ Dr. Peter Ruckman, Ruckman Reference Bible
Can we say, “OUCH”? The Solaris mantra: IF WE CAN FACE IT, WE CAN FIX IT begs the question, “How can those who refuse to face the present, prepare us for the future?”
With all love and respect, without Loyalty, Accountability, and Honor there is ZERO credibility. On the other hand, “if Jesus is credible,” then, my friends, you will surely find Him HERE! And, if God puts on your heart to help those who save children by donating to Peace of Heaven, you can donate directly, or mail your donation payable to Orange Strong (POH in memo) PO Box 843 Warwick, NY 10090 and I’ll be happy to hand deliver it to Pastor Dave at the conference next month! Remember our true heroes tomorrow! God Bless America!
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, ~ Job 33:15-16
Back in May of 2020 my brother in Christ Pastor Bill Banuchi delivered his Fork in the Road message to a group of us gathered to home church in Bloomingburg, NY. The enemy had declared the church to be unessential, and the church fell for it. I have been openly critical, and yes, condemning of the present state of this church ever since. A pastor friend who recently shared with me his resentment over my expression of disapproval, said these words, “The church is the Body of Christ. It’s not the church, it’s the people in it.” So, if the players on a football team are performing so poorly their team loses every game, am I doing the players or the team any favors by withholding my expression of disapproval? It reminds me of the great argument a Christian made by asking his friend whether he was showing love or compassion by not informing his homosexual friends they are on the path to eternity in Hell.
Here’s what I think is happening. I believe every man, woman, and child at some point in their lives hears the call of God. We may not recognize it (1 Sam.3) at first, but most every Christian has heard God’s call to awaken (Ephesians 5:14), and unfortunately, as Solomon can attest, many fall back asleep…
(33:16) A remarkable statement, A man can be “loaded” while he is asleep (vs.15), where his subconscious instructions come as a result of his rejection or acceptation of the truth during the day (Ezek. 14:1-11; Thess. 2:9-12). You will never know how much God has done to people while they were asleep until you get to 1 Corinthians 4:5, or how much he allowed the Devil to do in their subconscious while they were asleep (Eph. 2:2). ~ Dr. Peter Ruckman
So, if we reject truth in the light of day, we invite the enemy into our dreams in the dark of night. Chambers warns of the infiltration from a slightly different angle:
It is dangerous to be conscious of submission to a spiritual power. The difference between fatalism and faith lies just here. Fatalism means, “My number’s up; I have to bow to the power whether I like it or not; I do not know the character of the power, but it is greater than I am, and I must submit.” It is happening…the enemy is seen and knows it. The same enemy that has us deal by not dealing, the same enemy that has rendered us ineffectual through our own choices of avoidance over confrontation, safety over risk… Our Deliverance
My friend Colleen shared this article yesterday, “Our nation’s history and tradition are clear: faith leaders, congregations and ministries were never meant to be sidelined or silenced on political matters. The First Amendment protects the rights of all Americans to speak on matters of public concern, including elections and political candidates. Houses of worship were always meant to be able to express support or opposition for the people who seek to lead.”First Liberty: The Government Cannot Keep Churches Silent…
There are only two reasons for a church to remain silent in this or any season; Fear…and Fear. Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty. ~ Thomas Jefferson. The Proverbs 27:17 men who founded the greatest nation the world has ever known have sadly been replaced by churchmen playing hide-and-seek with one another while paving the way to despotism in their Job 33 slumber. Ruckman nails it! They who have rejected the truth of God’s calling during the day have literally lost their minds to the enemy in their sleep…dancing in the dark in Bullville with the very enemy that hijacked their revival. What would Eleanor say?
“Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Anna and Simeon were the only two of the descendants of Abraham who recognized who Jesus was, hence the condemnation of the crowd. If two who had lived a life of communion with God could detect Jehovah [Yahweh] as the Babe of Bethlehem within the symbolism, the others who did not recognize Him are to be condemned. They did not see Him because they had become blinded on the line of absolute authority, the line of symbolism or creed, and when that which was symbolized appeared, they could not see Him. Oswald Chambers, The Condemnation of Sanity…the more things change,…
It’s going to cost you something to be a man of truth in these days. ~ Pastor Chuck Baldwin
So, do we submit to government that has gone rogue? No, it is fighting God, it is fighting truth, it is fighting the Word of God. It’s clearly doing the opposite of what the Constitution said. In that moment the law of God trumps the law of man. And that’s why hiding behind Romans 13 is unscriptural, and it is a violation of the righteousness of God. ~ Pastor Mario Murillo
The enemy knows he can gaslight the timid and has nothing to fear from those who prefer dancing in the dark to braving the treacherous waters of the tempestuous sea! IF WE CAN FACE IT, WE CAN FIX IT! I myself prefer exhilaration in the face of an enemy already defeated. You? Sticks & Stones!
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. ~ 2 Thessalonians 3:6
It’s nearly impossible to overstate the remarkable nature of the times we are living in. I am in the book of Job via Chambers’ My Utmost Devotional Bible. As Peter Ruckman states, “No Christian could find a more profitable book in the Bible to study than Job.” Why? My favorite verse 13:15, Though he slay me, yet will I trust him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. I love this verse because it reminds me of Pastor Artur Pawlowski’s visit to our church last May when he preached, You need to be willing to walk into the (Daniel 3:24-25) fire if you want to see Jesus. So instead of lying to accommodate the sanctimonious needs of his friends, Job stuck to the facts as he knew them to be, and just as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, he was rewarded by God in the end. God is so almighty simple that it is impossible to complicate Him. (Conformed) ~ From Oswald Chambers, The Sense of Perverseness (Job 21:1–22:30)…it is the enemy who makes the simple appear complicated.
Derek Prince tells us that the only power Satan has is what people give him through ignorance,fear, and sin. But we know through His Word that God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7). We seem to be approaching the middle of the hourglass which raises the Matthew 7:13-14 “narrow gate” vision to my mind. What is the most important job, if not only job He gave us hours before the ascension? So important, in fact, He commanded Peter three times (John 21:15-17): Feed my sheep.
If you haven’t taken the time yet to view the Catherine Austine Fitts OMNIWAR: THE BRAIN and her interview with Tucker Carlson which are both linked in last Sunday’s The Helmet of Salvation, I am urging you to please do so. NOWHERE in the Bible are we told to bury our heads in the sand, but that is exactly what the church has done. As Pastor Dave put it so well in the panel discussion on Child-Sex-Trafficking last week, “People don’t want to know because knowing, we are morally bound to act.” Knowledge is exactly the first course of the 2 Tim. 1:7 three-course meal! Why? Because it defeats the first course of the three-course meal Satan feeds us to enslave us! As the Fitts mantra so perfectly states, “IF WE CAN FACE IT WE CAN FIX IT!” And as Dr. Lissa Johnson adds, we need to know to understand what we are facing.
The two main theaters of war are Church and State. Here are two remarkable first-course dishes that will empower you to face what is coming. This first is a remarkable discussion between Walter Veith and Martin Smith from the Church perspective. ~ PROJECT 2025
The second I received from my cousin Steve who is very much in-the-fight in Utah only yesterday. There could not be a more accurate and inspiring message on where we are right now in this most crucial moment in history from the State perspective: From my cousin Steve yesterday, “Until last week, we thought Steve Bannon was just another pundit. After Sandy and I watched his April 2025 address at Hillsdale College, we realized that he has compelling insights into what has happened to our nation, as well as what to expect going forward. For that reason, we want to share this with you.” ~ Steve Bannon at Hillsdale College
Here is the bottom line as I see it to help bring this all together. As Steve Bannon so passionately and eloquently points out, Larry Arn is right; America is on the brink of an 1860 Civil War moment. Because the church has buried its head, the Jezebel spirit has risen to power on all seven of our cultural mountains. We have a Jehu in the White House, but as Bannon warns, that is not enough. Men, and churchmen in particular, need to find their inner Jehu…which brings us to this final message on Authority vs Influence:Pastor Landon Schott
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. ~ Psalm 71:4
It is happening…the enemy is seen and knows it. The same enemy that has us deal by not dealing, the same enemy that has rendered us ineffectual through our own choices of avoidance over confrontation, safety over risk… Our Deliverance
Jezebel does not want to give up her power, but she has no power over the Luke 10:19 Christian. She has no power over the James 4:7 Christian, or the Colossians 2:15 Christian, or the 2 Timothy 1:7, or the churchman who is washed in the Blood of Revelation 12:11 Lamb. So who are the disorderly Paul is calling us to withdraw ourselves from in 2 Thessalonians 3:6? They are the horizontal grains in The REAL ID Hourglass…the Matthew 13:24-30 tares. You will know them by their fruits (Matthew 7:15-20)
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. ~ Romans 8:6
…that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter (Romans 7:6). I have shared with more than a few friends these past few days that I remember not so long ago thinking that the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Eph. 6:17) was the most important piece of armor. And then, I was sure it was Above all, taking the shield of faith (Eph. 6:16). And just in the past week, thanks to Pastor Jeff Bayard of the Virginia Christian Alliance, I was made aware of the Catherine Austin Fitts Symposium on April 26, OMNIWAR: THE BRAIN featuring Patrick M. Wood, David A. Hughes, Dr. Lissa Johnson, and Dr. Daniel Broudy, and I registered! As a result, the helmet of salvation (Eph. 6:17) took on a whole new meaning as an absolute necessity to protect us from an enemy that sees our brain as the “final frontier and battlespace for their social-engineering” us into total enslavement. The girl holding the MS-13 sign shows how close they are to achieving their objective. But you know what? God is so good, He gave us the PERFECT full armor where each and every piece is of exact and equal importance! But what good is any of it to us if we don’t see the battle or know the enemy?
Catherine Austin Fitts’ team mantra is, IF WE CAN FACE IT, WE CAN FIX IT, followed by Dr. Johnson’s RESISTANCE DEPENDS ON UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE ARE FACING. So, again I say, how can we face what we refuse to see, or hope to understand what we refuse to know. Pastor Dave gives a great answer in this 40k View podcast on the dark evil reality that is child-sex-trafficking, “People don’t want to know because then they are morally bound to take action.”
MAX ~ THE WILL TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT ~ Luke 22:44
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of his blood falling down to the ground.
I hate to say this because it will sound cruel, but not only do I not want to know people who don’t want to know, we can’t afford to know people who don’t want to know. People who don’t want to know are cowards. Cowards will do anything to save themselves…the very opposite of what our Luke 22:44 Savior did for us! The helmet of salvation provides the disciplined thinking, and secures our disciplined emotions, leading to the disciplined action of choosing our friends wisely.
Chambers writes in reading 221—Concepts for Rejection, “No man ever puts a stumbling block in the way of others by telling the truth…Job sticks to facts, that is what confuses his friends; but in the end Job is brought face-to-face with God.” Faith in the Bible is faith in God against everything that contradicts Him. (Utmost)
In this wonderful interview with Tucker Carlson, Catherine Austin Fitts made herself an enemy of the state for telling the truth and sticking to the facts. In fact, she made it her business to do so. The full power and might of the US Government tried for eleven years to destroy her and failed because God is faithful to those who are faithful to Him. Her story is absolutely empowering in revealing what each and every one of us willing to do the right thing, while looking out for one another are capable of!
We are our brothers’ keepers, but in order for us to do so we must be the diligent guardians of our own minds. God gave us the helmet of salvation for this exact purpose…and season. Remember that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience, so keep the faith, serve in newness of spirit, and stay spiritually minded for life and peace.
Pastor Dave through Church of Glad Tidings is half way to their goal of raising $4 million to convert a prison into a “Peace of Heaven” place of healing for children rescued from the horrors of sex-trafficking.

they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; ~ Ezekiel 14:20
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. ~ Ephesians 6:20
“Conscience is the most sacred property of all.” ~ James Madison
Every man has a conscience, although every man does not know God. (Bib. Ethics)
Our entire lives have we each of us lived as grains of sand in the hourglass, widely dispersed with little to no awareness of, or care for, the Maker of our container. As the time passed the grains separated into two groups; the horizontal grains, and the vertical grains. The horizontal grains loved and trusted the container and the horizontal majority. They separated themselves from the vertical minority out of their fear of the unknown on the vertical plane beneath them. The vertical minority, who put their faith and trust in the Maker of the container grew closer together over time, while the horizontal majority were the first to fall to their deaths.
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? ~ Esther 4:14
Here’s the kicker folks! The horizontal grains who, with little to no REAL trust or faith in the Maker, lined up like sheep to the slaughter for what is now being outlawed in a growing number of states as a bioweapon, are now the first in line for their REAL ID drivers license! Why? Because these were the shepherds they were foolish enough to follow:
Check this brother out at the 1:20:35 mark, “They taught you to ignore your gut, silence your questions, mistrust your own soul, your own voice in your head, and they called it faith. But what if that wasn’t faith? What if that was fear dressed up in a Bible verse.” The entire clip is about seven minutes and worth every second! All That Is Not Of God Is Being Shaken!
Who does not listen to the voice of the prophets? The MOST dangerous address on planet earth, for such a time as this: Those who live on “Set In Their Ways” Boulevard!
This was a very pivotal week for me. God lifted me above what has become a massive shipwreck and impending collapse of our culture for the forty days which ended on April Fools Day. He rewarded me with clarity and perspective. He showed me the enemy, and how to proceed. As fully expected, I came under a relentless attack that had me near my bottom this past Tuesday…and then out of nowhere came a word of encouragement from one of the local pastors. It was the much-needed wind in my sails. Within moments an old video I had made of my song, Just When You Think, appeared on my screen. I watched and listened myself into an instant REVELATION: Written and recorded in 2015, I had believed until this moment that the object/muse of the song was my wife at the time. But as I watched and listened now I slowly realized that my wife, who suspected she was not my First Love after discovering me for the first time on my knees in prayer in our bedroom, now knew she was not my First Love after hearing the song…containing this lyric: No flag I would die for could deliver a pain more eternally woundin’ than losin’ Your love. So take heart in knowin’ that a good man keeps goin’ like a river keeps flowin’ to her home in the sea. (Complete lyrics below)
In last Sunday’s Of Equanimity & Bifurcation, I asked the question, “Are we who they tell us we are, or, are we who God made us to be?” Thinking about those who govern us who are now herding us into their REAL ID in the context of where we are on the Liberty Scale:
“The white terminus represents full liberty or an absence of external influence or control, and the black terminus represents enslavement or a complete lack of liberty. In the similitude of light and an absence of light, there is an appropriate correlation as one considers the origins of liberty and the Constitution of the United States;”
The Liberty Scale, found on page 11 of GR Mobley’s book, Whose Constitution Is It Anyway, was brought to his mind, which he then brought to my attention after watching Just When You Think for the very first time.
Thus if, as GR writes, reasonable people equally informed seldom disagree, is it not only incumbent on us, but it’s our God-given duty to inform our brothers, sisters, friends, and neighbors of the facts they need in order to move in the right direction on this scale?
It was this lyric…Love takes a bad and makes him a good man and opens the heart so a blind man can see. But sight is our payment for a service unrendered for the heart to make known what the eyes only see. What are these eyes for if we can’t hope to see more than love’s own betrayal in a friendly disguise…that compelled him to tell me that we need to teach others how to see.
Who labored more fervently and consistently to inform us of our REAL ID than the apostle Paul? For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ(1 Cor. 2:16)…or reveal our greatest struggle…and The Great Solution: In Paul’s epistle to the Romans on the two natures 7:13-25, in verse 24 he writes, “O wretched man that I am,” (not O wretched man that I was)! But he continues, “who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” And answers his own question in 25, “I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Oswald Chambers writes in Reading 214—The Great Solution, “God hitched Abraham’s wagon to the stars He had created, by His word. In our personal lives the great solution is always found in the words of our Lord when we have His Spirit. Our little human wagons are hitched to the star of God’s sacramental purpose by the words of Jesus and in no other way. The justification of every sinner is by faith, and by faith alone. But it is our just walk that proves Him just in saving us. If we do not walk in the life of faith, we are a slander to God.”
To my beloved Catholic friends. The Bible is the ultimate authority and final word of God. Peter was NEVER in Rome. In fact, Paul said (2 Tim. 4:11 KJV), “Only Luke is with me.” I don’t care what is written on some stone in a basement in Rome. Peter was crucified upside down. Why do you suppose Satanists wear the upside down cross? COME OUT OF HER (Rev. 17:18KJV)! LOOK TO PAUL! We have stood side by side on many social and cultural issues for years. You know my heart. You know my love for you is true. This may be the best message I have ever heard from Jonathan Cahn, recorded one year before the passing of Pope Francis. THIS is why most of our children have walked away from the faith. “Are we concerned about being on the right side of history, or the right side of God?” The Pope Francis End-Time Apostasy
At the end of our days, only THE TRUTH, and nothing but THE TRUTH, will set us free!
In closing, I spent half my day yesterday in an online symposium hosted by Catherine Austin Fitts entitled, OMNIWAR: THE BRAIN. OMNIWAR, the weaponization of everything, was a very dark journey revealing the evil behind the REAL ID. An evil that seeks the elevation of science as god, and sees our God-given brain as “the final frontier of social-engineering,” involving nefarious players like the WEF, the European Commission, and DARPA, all pursuing their ultimate goal of Transhumanism. Surprisingly, I was encouraged by the fact that they have been at this since 1937 and they still have no clue how our mind/brain works…what it is that makes us fall in love with who we fall in love with, and so on. As Lissa Johnson said in her closing, “we have no more mapped the brain than we have the surfaces of every planet in the universe. The human brain’s solo mission is to meet our EVERY need. When an AI robot was asked if it liked humans, it responded, “Not particularly.” They have been grooming us into submission our entire lives. Catherine opened the symposium with their team mantra, IF WE CAN FACE IT WECAN FIX IT. Lissa Johnson followed that up with, Resistance depends on understanding what we are facing, and the need to….
THINK FOR YOURSELF!
Just When You Think ~ Chip Murray, 2015
I was a bad man with the eyes of a blind man and the heart of a dead man ‘til she rescued me. Found love in a village at the foot of a mountain by the head of a river and the wide open sea.When the legions of angels came down from the sky to chase all the darks clouds away. Just when you think it’s over, the end of the line, they’ll sing you a better day.
Love takes a bad and makes him a good man and opens the heart so a blind man can see. But sight is our payment for a service un-rendered for the heart to make known what the eyes only see. Then the legions of angels came down from the sky to take all your heartaches away. Just when you think it’s over, the end of the line, they’ll sing you a better day.
What are these eyes for if we can’t hope to see more than love’s own betrayal in a friendly disguise. Where is the sister who can’t find the brother who’s forgotten his mother from a long time ago…
No flag I would die for could deliver a pain more eternally woundin’ than losin’ your love. So take heart in knowin’ that a good man keeps goin’ like a river keeps flowin’ to her home in the sea.Then the legions of angels came down from on high to chase all the dark clouds away. Just when you think it’s over, the end of the line, they’ll show you a better way. Just when you think it’s over, the end of the line, they sing all your troubles away.
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
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!
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: TheWorkmen 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”!
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.
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.”
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.
Standupnsing
