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.
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, 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.
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.
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!
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
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!
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:
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…
EXCEPT the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. ~ Psalm 127:1-2
Keep an eye brothers and sisters…old friends and new worlds…I read these words of wisdom from our old friend Oswald Chambers just this morning in The Test of Loyalty, “It is only the loyal soul who believes that God engineers circumstances. We take such liberty with our circumstances, we do not believe God engineers them, although we say we do; we treat the things that happen as if they were engineered by men.”
Doc’s Remnant A-Team gave me the title for today’s Tune-up in this video he made last Summer where he introduced them. He had reposted it a week or so ago. In God’s perfect timing it landed on the shores of my consciousness smack dab in the middle between the Industrialization of Islamic Child Rape in the UK, and the Firestorm that has, as of this writing, consumed 38,000 acres of home-filled land in Las Angeles (City of Angels) California. High places rise up when Biblical Manhood dries up…as it so tragically has. The time has come for Biblical Manhood to rise up to tear them down {Leviticus 26:30}. Jesse Waters says “we’re witnessing the collapse of Liberal Society” with the LA Fires in yesterday’s report. I say we are witnessing the collapse of Western Civilization without a resurgence of Biblical Manhood…where men are conditioned by God rather than by men who want or pretend to be God…or worse.
It’s a strange world growing stranger by the minute, out with the old, and in with the new? They use to say the difference between men and boys is the price of their toys…as 38,000 acres of very expensive toys just went up in smoke…on the heels of the Western North Carolina disaster. I just wrote the other day that If you’ve watched the events of the past year and haven’t dusted off your Bible and cried to Jesus, you are truly on your own.
Like the Bette Midler tune, God Is Watching Us…I said to Him in my prayers this morning, “You know my every thought before I think it.” He’s doing so much more than simply watching us. He’s giving us every opportunity to prove ourselves loyal to Him. He knows who will and He knows who won’t… Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. ~ Psalm 55:11-14
Everything changed in 2020…you SEE…God gave us the year of perfect vision…but my former pastor who took a knee to the man called me “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” for warning my brothers and sisters of the REAL wolf and the threat to our children, our communities and our country! Its very hard to step out and cut against the grain of a society that has been as thoroughly conditioned as ours, but I am here to tell you He favors us when we do!
In closing, I will leave you with two nuggets of hope for the future for those brave enough to choose it; Young Men Find a More Masculine Alternative:
As the article correctly stated, the Orthodox Church is decidedly more masculine than “traditional” mainline US denominations. One reason why is because the Orthodox tradition is the most dominant tradition in Eastern Europe and the most dominant Christian tradition remaining in the Middle East. Curiously, and most narrative-smashing, Russia has the largest Orthodox body in the world. Meaning, Orthodoxy has largely escaped the ravages of wokeism.
The article’s second misleading element was that, when you boiled it down, all the personal anecdotes actually described converts of young men to Orthodoxy from atheism rather than from other traditions. In other words, growth. So it really was a story of a growing church, in particular rapid growth in the American Orthodox church, and altogether a rising spiritual movement with a decidedly manly character.The article continued dropping some appropriate criticisms (from a young man’s point of view) aboutthe feminization of the Protestant tradition in the US…https://archive.ph/ab7YV
And…
A young man named Joe:
Shawn Ryan ~ How do we fight against the evil that wants to destroy Western Civilization?
Joe Lonsdale ~ There’s a lot of different ways. One way is, as a leader, being a role model, speaking out and role modeling courage. Classical virtues are very powerful against this stuff. The moral people that show courage, it snowballs. Once enough people are showing courage, they can’t get us anymore. They need us to be afraid. ~ An Absolute Must Watch!
Whether you attend a church that flies the rainbow flag, or one that preaches the unfiltered and undiluted Word of God, calling all believers to be as 1st Century Disciples, the photo above reflects the church God sees today. Somewhere in that abandoned old house, there’s a mirror, a door, a stair rail or floor tile that is in perfectly good condition…like the church I am blessed to have found. But God doesn’t see His church as individual parts of His Body, He sees us as one. One body that has failed every test He has put to it since the removal of prayer in our schools and the legalization of child sacrifice (abortion) in 1973. Each of us will be held to account for this body of which we are a part, and this time in which we live.
The dilapidated, run-down, and abandoned body you see pictured above, is the result of what Kevin D. Roberts described as America’s state of spiritual enervation in the SMTU “The Paraclete vs The Parasitic” from two Sunday’s ago, and is responsible for the proliferation of the “Swamp” President Trump was elected to drain in 2016. The same swamp that tried to kill him three times, the swamp destroying America, the swamp Larry P. Arnn wrote about this past week…
He also convinced the people who inhabit the swamp, and they have scorched the earth to stop him. He has been canceled, derided, slandered, libeled, investigated, searched, impeached, arrested, prosecuted, tried, convicted, shot, and yet…reelected! Now the battle will begin anew. What will it be like? There are so many problems. The border. Crime. Inflation. Education. War. Ukraine. China. Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran. Debt stacked to the far reaches of a SpaceX mission. Which matters most? ~ Drain The Swamp
Perhaps one of the most renowned and respected authorities on the “Beast” behind the swamp creatures gave this rather gloomy prognostication sometime before he passed in 2003. “Confronted with the choice between Jesus the Lamb, and the antichrist, the wild beast, the great majority of the human race are going to choose the beast.” ~ Derek Prince
A man who refers to himself as “a watchman” puts it this way, this week. “People are already taking the Mark of the Beast. They’re taking the mark spiritually, in the way that they live their lives, in the way that they allow themselves to be conditioned.” ~ A Watchman
Right on the heels of Prince and the watchman, I receive the following prayer request from DC-connected Heather Johnston to pray for unity of our House, Senate, and incoming President Trump and for the continuation of Speaker Mike Johnson who “is surrendered and submitted to DJT”? ~ Prayer Request
Which brings us to today’s message from above, The Righteous Foxhole. My pastor unwittingly sparked today’s title with these words to me last month, “May the Lord embrace you with His love, peace, and joy, and may He continue to strengthen you, as we stand together on the battlefield of spiritual warfare, and in the victory of faith over fear.” I actually told him, and meant every word, “There is nobody on this planet I am more honored to share a foxhole with than you dear brother.” What is most interesting to me now, is how God connected my pastor to Special Operations warriors, John “Tig” Tiegen (Benghazi), Craig “Saw Man” Sawyer (Vets4ChildRescue), and Pete “Doc” Chambers (Remnant Ministry) on that very same day! You see, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting both Saw Man and Tig at the Rod of Iron Freedom Festival in 2019. I was honored to meet Doc at a Serve God, Defend LibertyConference in 2022. On the very same day God gave me The Righteous Foxhole through Pastor Steve, he reconnected me to Saw Man and Tig through Saw Man’s Spiritual Warfare Brief Doc posted on his Telegram channel!
The rest of today’s message is going to hurt my brothers and sisters in the church community because it needs to. On Thursday night Justice in America hosted an interview with Nadine from the FQXHOLE FOUNDATION. They are doing the heroic work of bringing relief and saving lives in Western North Carolina that our own government (FEMA) has refused to do because its too busy running the largest child-sex-trafficking operation on the planet, and money-laundering scheme in Ukraine. When one of the 22 participants on the call asked Nadine how much help and support they had received from the churches, her answer, and I quote, “NONE, this has been ALL patriots.” This coming on the heels of the Hyde Park BOE church No-Show to protect children! The cold hard fact I am heading into 2025 knowing? I am going to war, and there is nobody in my own church (other than Pastor Steve), and greater church community, I would want or trust in the foxhole beside me. Those who possess the most superior armor of all…who lack the faith to wear it do not belong on any battlefield. Period.
Lastly, I do not know Matthew Livelsberger. But after what I have read and listened to on Shawn Ryan’s podcast yesterday, I would take him in alongside myself, Pastor Steve, Doc, Saw Man, Tig, and Nadine all day long…’til death do us part! Going with Doc on this one, New Years Day in Vegas wasn’t a terror attack, it was a WAKE-UP CALL!!Judge For Yourself!
And when he had made a scourge of small chords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables.And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. ~ John 2:15, Luke 15:2
Oswald breaks it down…
For thirty years Jesus did nothing, then for three years He stormed every time He went down to Jerusalem. Josephus says He tore through the temple courts like a madman. We hear nothing about that Jesus Christ today. The meek and mild Being pictured today makes us lose altogether the meaning of the Cross. We have to find out why Jesus was beside Himself with rage and indignation at the Pharisees and not with those given over to carnal sins. Which state of society is going to stand a ripping and tearing Being like Jesus Christ who drags to the ground the highest respected pillars of its civilized society, and shows that their respectability and religiosity is built on a much more abominable pride than the harlot’s or the publican’s? The latter are disgusting and coarse, but these men have the pride of the Devil in their hearts. ~ Oswald Chambers, Pharisaic Invincibility
Today’s Tune-up will undoubtedly fall harsh upon the female ear, but I especially urge my sisters to hear the word I received early Saturday morning, and ask yourself, Why did the Serpent choose to launch his assault on Eve rather than Adam? Please consider…I will bring us back to the Garden before my closing. The event which sparked Saturday morning’s intense HS download, which I feel is nothing short of an epiphany/revelation, was the simultaneous delivery of Anita Estes’ book, Armed For Prayer, A Strategic Guide To Victory via Amazon delivery, and Craig “Saw Man” Sawyer’s Spiritual Warfare Situation Brief, which I was blessed to find on Doc Chambers’ Telegram channel. What are the odds? Spiritual Warfare Situation Brief
Since the reprehensible and illegal COVID lockdowns in 2020, a small remnant group of pastors and church leaders, organized as CLOTH (Christian Leaders Of The Hudson), have worked tirelessly to bring John 17:21 unity to the Body of Christ, His Ecclesia. We’d have had greater success with a herd of feral ally cats. So, to borrow from Einstein’s definition of insanity: “Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results,” or what I like to call business as usual, is slowly but surely killing us. And so here we are five years later, right where we started. Now, mind you, in these five years, God has given us The Letter to the American Church, book and movie. Megan Basham’s Shepherds For Sale, James Lindsay’s Beneath Sheep’s Clothing…He even sent Pastors Artur Pawlowski and John Amanchukwu…all to little or no avail! Nobody, it seems, is willing to address the elephant in the room. What God gave me this Saturday morning was the formula (smelling salts?) for our desperately needed Ecclesiastical Adjustment. But let’s start where the American dream first began to unravel into what most honest folk today would see as an American nightmare. Some might argue that would be with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. I’m by no means courageous enough to make that claim just yet, but bookmark it for later…
I had a friend posit the theory that while our men were in the Pacific and European theaters of WW II securing our freedom and liberty, the women had no choice but to assume the head-of-household leadership role while the men were overseas. A Biblically traditional territory that many if not most men were in no hurry to reclaim upon their return. And just like that, America let her guard down giving way to decades of socialist sucker punches, left hooks, underworld uppercuts, and the one-two knockout punch delivered by the removal of the Bible and prayer from our schools, replaced by the Altar to Baal, otherwise known as Planned Parenthood and the Abortion Industry, leading to the Death of Camelot, LBJ (the most evil and corrupt man to ever occupy the Oval Office) eliminating black fathers from black families with the stroke of a pen…WACO…Ruby Ridge…9/11…Patriot Act…2007-2008 Economic Meltdown…Obama…MF Global…COVID…ALL a direct result of men relinquishing their primary role as men, from household, to community, to government, to corporate boardroom; PROTECTOR! Now in comes Saw Man’s Spiritual Warfare briefing contrasting with Anita’s. and the Holy Spirit takes Oswald Chamber’s Pharisaic Invincibility and drop-kicks to the opposite end of the field where it emerges as the true story of Vince Papale of the Philadelphia Eagles told in the fabulous movie Invincible, starring Mark Wahlberg as Vince, and Greg Kinnear as coach Dick Vermeil. The very beginning is the perfect “rough & tumble” glimpse of men being the men God the Father made us to be! I purchased it so hopefully you will be able to watch it for free here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOwmc25wMIg
So, then I had an exchange with a single-mom-friend who is raising two teenage sons in the Warwick Valley school district discussing mega-Dem-donor Lindy Li’s defection from the party of Crazy, in which I commented that “every man should be showing up at their BOE meetings, but they’re not. It’s like they are waiting for permission to be men again.”
Look what else has transpired since the PROTECTOR went AWOL:
I promised I would bring us back to the Garden…with the formula which is and must be our final Ecclesiastical Adjustment. Because, my friends, God has given us a second chance to get it right. He has allowed us to stretch ourselves so far beyond the truth of who we are, which is who He made us to be, it hurts with a pain we’ve never felt before. He used Anita and Saw Man to show us that you can make the woman out of the man, as He did (Genisis 2:22), but you cannot make a man from a woman, regardless of what your teacher tells you. We have been lied to for so long…
The moral law never alters, either for the noblest or for the weakest, it is eternally and abidingly the same. The moral law ordained by God does not make itself weak to the weak, it does not palliate our shortcomings, it remains absolute for all time and eternity. ~ Oswald Chambers, The Absolute Moral Law…This law was the very essence of His message through me to the Hyde Park School Board using the words of Thomas Jefferson, Justice David Brewer, and FDR.
Hang in there with me ladies, this next part will only first appear a bridge too far…until I show you as He has shown me, the other side! Most of us who know our Bibles are very familiar with Joshua, one of the greatest of God’s warrior men to ever live, and these words he spoke, And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord (Josh. 24:15). What you probably don’t know is what the brutal realist and Bible scholar Dr. Peter Ruckman had to say about them: Unnoticed by most of the brainwashed, programmed, 21st Century Christians is the fact that if Joshua’s wife was present, she had no voice in the matter of what Joshua’s household was going to do. They were going to do what he said they would do. “Mrs. Joshua” has spent nearly forty years as a slave in Egypt, followed by forty years as a wandering nomad in the desert, and then had to sit at home thirty years while her husband was fighting all over Palestine. Joshua speaks for her and the whole household (Acts 16:31).
(Smiling) Please allow me to show you the other side by way of a question that formed the basis of my steak-dinner-challenge to the Hyde Park School Board. How many of us, brothers, sisters, sons, fathers, mothers, pastors, priests, and rabbis, would not come together if God showed us the way to reclaim our true selves, our purpose, and our destiny? The only thing standing in our way would be the same three things He showed us last week: The three S’s from Thursdays Prayer & Fast…selfishness, self-interest, and self-indulgence…
What most of us cannot see or imagine right now is the present Babylonian money-magic financial system is about to come tumbling down. God has given us, We the People, the authority to rebuild it. The two-income need was an engineered lie to break the family apart. We need to give permission, as Anita sought permission from her husband, for men to become the men God made them to be to lead their households again…to once again be the PROTECTORS God made them to be by engaging their local governments to set the wrongs right, using the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate along with our 1st Amendment Right to Petition our local, state, and federal governments for redress of grievances…so that our children will be free to live as children again, and our wives, mothers, sons, and daughters will be able to be who God made them to be.
Finally, if you watch the movie Invincible, you can see Wahlberg’s character playing the American man, beaten down, marginalized, told for so long we were not good enough…until we were. Until we finally locked into the truth of who we are. Please, as Saw Man humbled himself in his tutorial to invite correction, I too would love to hear any positive or negative feedback in the comments. God Bless and Happy New Year! Oh…I nearly forgot, Judges 9:7-15 applies. We must NEVER settle for less. Amen?
Judges 9:7-15 Jotham’s plea, The Hierarchy of the Trees, And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? ~ Acts 19:15-17

From P&FW 12/4 ~ Immediately following this (Tucker’s interview with Dr. Mark Hyman exposing the evil behind our Healthcare Industrial Complex), Oswald Chambers shed beautiful rays of sunlight on the Vampires that have preyed on generations of our children: There are people you come in contact with who “freeze” you, you cannot think, things do not “go,” everything feels tight and mean; you come into the zone of other people and all those bands disappear, you are surprised at how clearly you can think, everything seems to “go” better…The one personality brought an atmosphere that froze the heart not only physically, but psychically; kept it cold, kept it down, kept it back; the other personality gave the heart a chance to expand and develop and surge throughout the whole body…Anything that keeps the physical blood in good condition and the heart working properly, benefits the soul life and spirit life as well. That is why Jesus Christ said, “Take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of life…” ~ Oswald Chambers, The Heart Is The Center
But we are militarily and strategically weaker, fiscally endangered, and SPIRITUALLY ENERVATED. ~ Kevin D. Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation Imprimis_Oct_6pg_10-24web.pdf

“Christianity has become toothless,” the billionaire posted recently on his X social-media platform. “Unless there is more bravery to stand up for what is fair and right, Christianity will perish.” ~ Elon Musk
As soon as Jesus Christ comes in, He produces havoc because the whole world system is arrayed against His redemption. It was the world system of His day, and particularly the religious system, that killed the Son of God. (Glory) ~ Oswald Chambers, Our Devotion as Disciples…The coming of Jesus Christ is not a peaceful thing, it is a disturbing thing. (Place Help)
So dear friends, I pose to you the following question. What do the Acts 19 Sons of Sceva, the parties and principals behind our Healthcare Industrial Complex exposed by Dr. Mark Hyman, the diagnosis of our nation by Kevin D. Roberts, the Heart is the Center by Oswald Chambers, the sexual grooming of children we called out at the Hyde Park BOE last Thursday leading up to what Attorney John Klar refers to as “public school hesitancy,” the false shepherds exposed in Megan Basham’s book “Shepherds for Sale,” and the sisters who think they can pray away the elephant in the room they fail to acknowledge and hold accountable, leading to Elon Musk’s spot-on description of “toothless Christianity,” all have in common? The parasitic nature/spirit of the antichrist holds sway!
It is an easy business to appear to be what we are not. (Sermon Mt.) On the other hand…
Tenacity is more than endurance, it is endurance combined with the absolute certainty that what we are looking for is going to transpire. Tenacity is more than hanging on, which may be but the weakness of being too afraid to fall off. Tenacity is the supreme effort of a man refusing to believe that his hero is going to be conquered…One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God. “Because you have kept my command to persevere.” Remain spiritually tenacious. (Utmost) ~ Oswald Chambers, Spiritual Tenacity
Just as the enemy spirit could see the lack of His Spirit in the Acts 19 sons of Sceva, the enemy can also see the very same lack of His Spirit in the vast majority of today’s Laodicean pulpits…which is why they don’t show up. If you recall from SMTU “Someone to Love” back on November 3rd, I posted messages from two Laodicean pulpits contrasted with two fuel-injected with the fire of the Holy Spirit, Pastor John Amanchukwu being one of the latter two. Parasitic nature vs the power of the Paraclete. What I’m about to tell you may shock you, but remember, “truth is treason in the empire of lies:” The Laodicean church, wittingly or otherwise, has been grooming its congregations for years to be the perfect submissive and compliant hosts. On the other hand, I encourage you to observe for yourselves the power and force of the Holy Spirit in this video clip from our visit to the Hyde Park Board of Education Thursday before last. We met an hour before the meeting to pray over Pastor John and ask for the Holy Spirit’s anointing on all the speakers, and over the event itself. I was the first to speak at the 3hr 17min mark, but if you tune in 3-5 min before my comments, I want you to pay attention to the infantile coddling voice of the woman in charge of our children’s education as she tries to paint lipstick on a 37% literacy proficiency rate. Pay attention to the Spirit in the room, and in particular, the comments of the local woman who was the last to speak (21 minutes in total). When we show up, the Holy Spirit shows up. When we don’t…
PRAY—STUDY—ACT!God has heard our prayers. God has given us a 2nd chance. God has empowered us and provided us with the tools we need…
