To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: ~ Ecclesiastes 3:1
There I was, mending my nets on a day like any other, ready to do what I knew best, when I looked up from my work and there He was smiling. “Follow me,” He said {Mat. 4:19}. I spent an enjoyable afternoon yesterday with three friends. Catching up with the one brother I had not seen in a good two or three years…probably not since our COVID calamity…something that had been on my mind found its way out; “Most people don’t seem to have or know their purpose in life.” And he shared with me that his purpose, “helping people,” would come in retirement.
My friend has a plan. Plans change. Purpose is a calling that puts all plans on hold. Purpose under the heaven is hearing the voice that changes everything. Fear, doubt, and anxiety move to the backseat as purpose takes over. You drop your nets and follow without question…let the dead bury the dead {Luke 9:60-62}.
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. ~ Proverbs 3:25-26
Following my own Breadcrumbs to Convergence is an exercise that occurred to me in June. It helped me to realize my calling all the way back as far as two powerful preschool dreams I had as a small child. Separation was the first…I was at the tail end of the very long line of children being let out of Hamlin, away from all we knew, by the Pied Piper, when the gate closed before me, separating me from them. There it was indelibly placed on my soul…separation brings salvation. Holding on, to life in this world in the form of a wild stallion was the second. Holding on for dear life, tiny arms wrapped around the powerful neck, bareback atop this wild beast racing with the wind. Endurance…Separation…letting go…holding on. The Father was preparing me long before He finally made the offer I could not refuse in 2015.
A time to every purpose. So what time is it, here and now, under the watchful eye of the Father? I asked the Christian friend who was rightfully disturbed by the article I shared last week about the Minnesota Governor Tim Walz who signed a bill banning practicing Christians from teaching in the public school system, if he was ever bullied. And moments later a friend sends me this: “Finally, somebody is putting the bullies in their place.”
We are here…the great inflection point…East meets West…the CONVERGENCE! What’s it gonna be boy? Think about this, as you and I sit here perched together on the edge of eternity. I purchased two books yesterday; Shepherds For Sale by Megan Basham, and John Foxe’s Book Of Martyrs.
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? ~ Psalm 94:16
A friend writes that his heart grieves for family, friends, our nation and a world that has turned away from God and “are swallowed up in this great delusion,” and then, as any good Christian would do, he declares there is hope, in the name of Jesus, and prays for revival…
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. ~ Isaiah 6:8
The fascinating thing about this passage in Isaiah, is what the Lord tells Isaiah after Isaiah volunteers to do what so few in the church seem willing to do today. He tells him, “Go and tell this people, ‘Hear ye indeed, but understand not, and see ye indeed, but perceive not.’”
My friend neither understands nor perceives that we are to do more than pray for revival. We are to prepare for revival. We need to renew our hearts and minds to seek God’s will in this hour…
You honor me with your lips, but your heart is far from me. ~ Mat. 15:8
My friend does not see himself as one swallowed up in this great delusion, when in fact God showed me most all Americans are living as the patients of delusion in Kesey’s Cuckoo Nest just this week…hearing, but not understanding…seeing, but not perceiving…while the wolf moves in for the kill…
“That’s why the U.S., more and more, once again, despite all odds and internal enemies, is becoming the world’s final, shaky redoubt of freedom. Because outside America, where our Constitution’s grace does not extend, the dark night of fascism falls once more, dimming the light of liberty to a faint flicker.”OUR LAST WALTZ? 1A Free Speech = ALL the Marbles!!!
On our way back from the “Give Me Liberty” Pastors’ Summit at the Patrick Henry College this past Thursday, we listened to the amazing testimony of Juliette Engle, a former CIA MK-Ultra victim turned courageous freedom-fighter, truth-telling whistleblower.The Urgency of Our Cause
As He connected even more dots to the wolf…Even more strangely, Neil Bush, son of the vice president, was scheduled to have dinner with Hinckley’s brother, Scott, the day after the shooting.Follow the Money!
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. ~ Revelation 18:4
I had the opportunity to go door-to-door in New Windsor, New York yesterday to encourage people to vote for Tommy Lapolla for State Assembly, Dorey Houle for State Senate, and Alison Esposito for Congress. We met Asians, Latinos, Whites, Blacks, a Gay Couple, one very angry retired NYPD and military veteran, and I will say that if their votes count in November, it does not look good for the D for Death Cult in New York. Last week we attended a very energized Trump rally in Wilkes-Barre PA, and according to yesterday’s Polymarket poll, Trump appears poised to snatch Pennsylvania from the clutches of the Death Party as well. So…with things looking so up, why did I open this morning’s Tune-up with Rev. 18:4?
To be brought into the zone of the call of God is to be profoundly altered {Genesis 12:1}.
We Americans were closest to our supernatural state, ripest for our profound altering, at birth. Since then, however, fleets of yellow buses hell-bent on transporting us from our supernatural states to the superficial one most of us live in today, have led us straight to the beast…
I have figured out the mark of the beast, but I’m going to have to teach you computer science to explain it…a folder is just a vessel that gets filled with things. To keep it simple, you have three groups, the owner, the group, and others which is the rest of the world…when you learn these things you can set file folder permission…the permissions are set in a three digit number, in this case 644…when you open up all permissions to the rest of the world you get 666, a number you recognize. What you may not know is that the name of God Emanuel is 644 in Hebrew. The permission set of 666 looks like the mindset of an unsaved person allowing the world of the flesh and the Devil to write in their folder. And the permission set of 644 looks like the changed heart posture of a Christian giving only the change write permissions to God the owner. Matrix from the word matriarch means womb, which is why Jesus is telling us we need to be born again, out of the Matrix. God is telling us in His finished Word, the King James Bible, we must be born out of the Matrix five times; Exodus 13:12, 13:15, 34:19, Numbers 3:12, and Numbers 18:15!! ~ Listen at the 54:15min mark BardsFM Death Cult Drive-Thrus
Chambers warns us, “Those who would argue against obeying the call of God frequently take the shape of country and kindred, and if we listen to them, our ears will soon become dull to God’s call,” thereby losing our discernment, our understanding, and our sons and daughters…
I care not who makes the nation’s laws as long as I control the nation’s currency. ~ Mayer Amschel Rothschild. This this HARD but must watch video starts out with the truth people are afraid to face about what the elites are having done to children. ~ Satanic Bankers and the Silver Bullet
So many people in positions of authority have no clue as to why God has placed them there. When we are under wicked leaders, God has us in chastisement because our Father who loves us is teaching us through what has us so irritated in them has to do with something we are unable to see in ourselves. ~ Pastor Brad Cummings
How can you tell the image of Caesar imprinted on the {Mark 12:17} coin, and you cannot tell the image of God imprinted on you? ~ Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. ~ Proverbs 1:28-33
Church: You are EXACTLY the 1 Kings 18:20-40 Prophets of Baal telling the people what they want to hear.
Patriots: We will never reclaim our Republic without turning to and relying upon God our Father. The greatest history book in the world bears me out 100%…OUR CHILDREN NEED TO SEE GOD IN US BEFORE THEY BELIEVE AGAIN, and until they do, we will be nothing more than slaves. These were the last words President John Fitzgerald Kennedy never got to speak…
My friends and fellow citizens: I cite these facts and figures to make it clear that America today is stronger than ever before. Our adversaries have not abandoned their ambitions, our dangers have not diminished, our vigilance cannot be relaxed. But now we have the military, the scientific, and the economic strength to do whatever must be done for the preservation and promotion of freedom.
That strength will never be used in pursuit of aggressive ambitions – it will always be used in pursuit of peace. It will never be used to promote provocations – it will always be used to promote the peaceful settlement of disputes.
We in this country, in this generation, are – by destiny rather than choice – the watchmen on the walls of world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of “peace on earth, good will toward men.” That must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength. For as was written long ago: “except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain {Psalm 127:1}.” ~ What would have been President Kennedy’s speech in Dallas on the day the Deep State had him murdered.
And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep; ~ 1 Samuel 3:3
“Satan knows where he’s fighting. The church doesn’t know where it’s fighting…the prophets are awakened before the light in the church goes out {1 Samuel 3:3}. While the church is living below politics, Satan is changing the times and laws. Only the church can stop the 3rd Javelin.” ~ Robin Bullock, Get Up & Go
We are close…so close. The social conversation…the discourse…the din… “I got rid of my imaginary friend a long time ago but now people like you are spouting this claptrap as wisdom and morals but you don’t realize that it’s a load of rubbish that they use to control you and you could live a moral and productive life without all that fear mongering and flat out lies,” response from Paul M to my Psalm & Proverb a Day… on the FB page called “Offending Snowflakes”. Actually snowflakes have more rugged endurance than say your average bear in the old Warwick At Its Best, “Explain to me like I’m 5: why does anyone want to talk national politics in our local Facebook groups?” ~ Megan C
I have a serious question for my readers. Which came first, the prophet or the man? The prophet sees the offspring of Paul M and Megan C as Bind, Deaf, and Dumb having grown up in churches shepherded by See No Evil, Hear No Evil, and Speak No Evil.
The Fear Not Fellowship, on the other hand, talked a mean game…until the enemy sprang the J-6 trap, and then went into hiding to let the women do the fighting. The government is building detention facilities in all 50 states according to Christie Hutcherson, of Women Fighting for America. ~ Vigilant News
So back to my which came first question. I’ll answer it with the most important question of our lifetime. If the prophets get up and go, will men come back and stand? Or, will this be our tomorrow:
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. ~ Luke 12:4-5
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. ~ Isaiah 51:7
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. ~ Proverbs 29:25
And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey; and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. ~ Revelation 10:10
(10:10) The word of God is “sweeter than honey” to the believer (Psa. 19:10, 119:103) because it nourishes him as a natural sweetener, it tastes good, it will kill all bacteria, it will open his spiritual eyes (1 Sam. 14:27-29), and it is a healing medicine (Pro. 16:24). It is “bitter” in that, once digested, it separates you from many friends and relatives, it makes you look like a fool often in the eyes of the world, it compels you to go “cross grain” to the age in which you live (the social milieu), and it brings you a “cross” with it. ~ The Ruckman Reference Bible
On Wednesday the News 12 story of the angel pictured above tragically struck down by a car and killed this week compelled me to raise the question above on the reporter’s FB page…which in turn prompted one commenter to post, “What does that mean?” And yet another, “wtfffff”, and my answer: It means that we as a society have failed our children. Our public education system since the late 1800’s has devolved into a grim reaper/pied piper leading them away from God…WE NEED TO WAKE UP! We are the #1 consumer of child porn in the world! 2 Chronicles 7:14! That’s what that means. In hindsight, I believe it was my learning of the tragic death just the day before of a beloved brother from our local church community, Nick Van Hague, who was crushed by the truck he was working on when it collapsed on top of him. The bitterness of losing any friend or family member, can only be quenched by the sweetness of His Blessed Assurance in knowing they are saved. We are blessed with this assurance where Nick is concerned, but my heart breaks every weekday morning as I watch the yellow school buses take them away. That was my Wednesday morning. The enemy had two more punches waiting…
The first one landed of the 4pm Black Robe Regiment Pastors’ Huddle with pro-life warrior Randall Terry describing today’s cowardly/indifferent/apathetic churches (Listen/watch HERE), followed that same evening by cowardly/indifferent/apathetic veterans marinating in their local VFW beer trough, rejecting the notion of defending the Constitution via the 1A Right to Petition; “We don’t allow anything political.” Which begs the question, “When did church leaders and veterans become political cowards in America?
A just weight and balance are the LORD’S: all the weights of the bag are his work. ~ Proverbs 16:11
I see how pride destroys men which brings down families which weakens communities and destroys nations. But I also see how the modern church has hollowed out men to become impotent hyper-grace, hyper-humbled caricatures that remind me of Garth and Wayne dropping to their knees before Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith in the movie Wayne’s World crying, “We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy!” When in fact we are the worthiest of all men by our inheritance in the Word of God, the Blood of the Lamb, and the power of the Holy Spirit. But in us! God loves a balance. And with so few women, if any, seeking unworthy men, they take the easy way, through the wide gate, straight into the addiction of pornography. And history tells us that men who stand for nothing fall for everything:
From the spirit of Satan: “We can see what can be, unburdened by what has been.” ~ Kamala Harris…a Marxist incantation…a spell!
On the other hand…
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the forward mouth, do I hate. ~ Proverbs 8:13
Reify, the word of the day that caught my eye this week. To make something abstract more concrete…from Close Encounters to Stepford Wives, isn’t it about time? Aren’t we more than ready to reify those things which need reification in our lives?
To my angry brothers and those sisters with Sarah Young’s artificially sweetened book, Jesus Calling, on their nightstands and no Bible in their homes; there are only two spirits in this world, the Holy Spirit of God, and the spirit of Satan, the father of lies…what would you like to bet that both Kamala and Oprah have Jesus Calling on their nightstands too? Peter Ruckman is dead on. Rev. 10:10 is our true lifeline; nourishment, natural sweetener, healer and immune booster, opening our eyes to the supernatural, lifting us out of the superficial mosh pit of the flesh Satan NEEDS us mired in! Reify, Edify, and Sanctify yourselves, your families, your communities, with the Word of God, Sword of the Spirit {Ephesians 6:17}, for the children!
For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. ~ Issaiah 9:16
To the Jude 1:4 spirit which crept in unawares; we see you now. There is no place left to hide. God is shining His light in every dark corner, and his faithful are coming with a power you recognize and fear and are powerless to stop. Leave now, while you can. That herd of swine by the Finger Lakes will be happy to take you in!
Isaiah warned us! Jeremiah {8:10}, {23:1}, Ezekiel {13:3, 22:26}, Jude {1:12}, and most recently from the pulpit of the “The Hyper-Grace/Half-Gospel Church” as our Christian brother in Christ and good shepherd Pastor Earl refers to them, this rebuke of Christians responding to the Olympic blasphemy:
I’m a pastor, and I have something to say.
Christians that get online and spew hate toward nonbelievers anger me much more than nonbelievers spewing hate toward my religion.
I have no idea what the table at the Olympics was supposed to represent, as the official statement contradicts the larger opinion. But what I can say is that every single person at that table would have been invited to Jesus’ table. Jesus not only spent His time on earth with sinners, He invited them to the very table everyone assumes the Olympic table represents.
Matthew was a tax collector.Peter was about to deny Him.Thomas was about to doubt His resurrection.Judas was about to betray Him.Jesus ate with them anyway.Jesus was with “sinners” all of the time. In fact, it’s one of the reasons the church people hated Him and wanted Him dead.Please allow this to serve as a reminder that people who are not Christians are not our responsibility to regulate. Jesus gave us an example to follow of welcoming everyone and pointing them toward the love of Jesus. Remember that God’s kindness is meant to lead us to repentance, not the shouting of His angry “followers.”
This doesn’t mean I condone any religion (especially my own) being mocked. In fact, it is wrong. But my heart doesn’t hurt for what they are doing to Jesus. My heart hurts for people that are likely not in a loving relationship with their Creator. Jesus doesn’t need me to shout about sinners sinning. He wants me to shout about the hope and the love they are missing out on.Before you share an angry post, or shout at people that Jesus died for, think for a while, and ask yourself if He would do the same. To be honest, you already know the answer. He wouldn’t. He didn’t. He died for them just as much as He died for you. Angrily shouting at people that don’t know Jesus is in direct contradiction to the example He gave us on the cross.Westboro Baptist sandwich signs should anger you much more than this. Jesus flipped tables on people in the temple, not people outside of it.Remember that. ~ Pastor Jacob W
I wrote to Pastor W to first say that I did not see spewing of hatred. What I did see was righteous anger reminiscent of David’s anger in 1 Samuel 17, that I knew nothing about him, his church, or how he has prepared and is preparing his congregation for what is coming. And that I would need to know this and more before being scolded and lectured to by him or any other Christian about how, when, and where to engage the enemy. The enemy he never identified, or described in any way, because he was too busy shaming those in the Christian community who dared to stand. I closed by asking him if he had read the book or seen the movie, “Letter to the American Church?” That was five days ago…still waiting. Welcome to the waterless skies of Laodicea! My heart BREAKS for what they are doing to Jesus!
On the other hand…
Just as the Liberty Tree’s rain in Maine falls plainly on His FAITHFUL remnant…the fertile soil here in Orange County NY was equally blessed this past Friday morning…
From Chrissy:
Walking and praying. This is what I read “by accident” searching for something else.My God is truly amazing. I wanted to share this wonderful message.
Blessed in Trust
Jeremiah 17 begins with a rebuke. God is calling out the Israelites for their idolatry, for trusting in other gods and forsaking Him and His teachings. Like a parent with a child who’s made a terrible choice, God makes it very clear that these choices have led and will lead to consequences. And yet, rather than only focusing on all that’s been lost and will be lost because of Israel’s terrible choices, Jeremiah takes a moment to bring a refreshing reminder: “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him.” Jeremiah 17:7 NIV He calls those who trust Him “blessed,” even as chaos, sin, and idolatry reign around them. He says that people who trust in God “will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:8 NIV) We get to choose who and what we worship. Who is your confidence in? Who do you trust? If it is the Lord, take heart knowing that in this you are blessed. An abundant life in God, full of fruit even when sin is all around, is the mark of having chosen to trust Him. What an incredible thing it is to be able to make this choice!
My response:
Amen sister…and (no surprise) it rhymes beautifully with this morning’s Oswald (fellow Scott) Chambers read: Arguers against obeying the call of God will arise in the shape of country and kindred, and if you listen to them you will soon dull your ears to God’s call and become the dullest, most commonplace Christian imaginable, because you have no courage in your faith; you have seen and heard, but have not gone on. ~ Faithful to God’s Call 🙏❤️🙏 Onward and ever upward!! 🌞
Chrissy:
I just LOVE when God ties things together like that for us to PLAINLY see. GO GOD!!! 😁
Me realizing His call has become His SHOUT!:
AND…in my same Chambers read (every day Old Testament, Psalms, Proverbs, New Testament)…are you ready? 🌞 The Old was Jonah 1:1-4:11! The ONLY prophet that Christ gave as a sign for Himself…who disobeyed the call!! AND the Psalm? 144:1-8 which just happened…by coinkeedink of course 😄 to line up with today’s Psalm & Proverbs a Day!!
A Psalm (Heart) & Proverb (Wisdom) A Day Drives the Tyrant Away! PS 144:5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
PR 2:19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
Are you able to now see the contrast between the superficial and the supernatural???
There is a Convergence train coming and a heartbreaking majority of Americans are going to miss it because of the nice white fluffy but waterless clouds that have stalled over the ministry of Pastor Jacob, and thousands more like his across America.
“This treasonous administration has released 12,000,000 (their #’s…they lie) of which 250,000 are terrorists. (‘Slaughter houses where they harvest the organs of children while they’re still alive.’ ~ Christie Hutcherson) They’ve lost 500,000 unaccompanied alien children! We are living in a moral cesspool of evil, and we’ve allowed it! I lay it all on the American man…ALL of it! God instilled in us to take care our women and our children, and we failed. We failed at every level possible, EVERY level. Why? Because we are spiritually weak, we’re emotionally weak, and physically. We are an obese society with impotent men. We’ve been conditioned to believe that masculinity is bad. We have been conditioned that a strong Christian man is evil, and we’re now reaping what we have sown.” ~ JJ Carrell, Border Agent Whistleblower, Justice In America
Remember that…Pastor Jacob…as you consider this:
BE STRONG ~ Maltbie D. Babcock
Be strong! We are not here to play, to dream, to drift; We have hard work to do and loads to lift; Shun not the struggle, face it, ’tis God’s gift. Be strong, be strong, be strong!
Be strong! Say not the days are evil — who’s to blame? And fold the hands and acquiesce — O shame! Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God’s Name. Be strong, be strong, be strong!
Be strong! It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong, How hard the battle goes, the day, how long; Faint not, fight on! Tomorrow comes the song. Be strong, be strong, be strong!
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the LORD. ~ Proverbs 29:25,26
TRUTH. The COVID silver lining… He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. ~ Revelation 3:22
His prayer (John 17) is an expression of His divine will for us as His redeemed people, to be received by humble submission and obedience, in the love and oneness that is ours in Him! I have heard wonderful theological expositions of John 17, and of other Scriptures pertaining to both the truth and the practice of our unity in Christ! As God’s redeemed people, purchased, by Christ’s shed blood, our unity in Him is an indispensable Biblical truth! Sadly, however, I believe that its practical reality eludes us, in an hour of unprecedented spiritual warfare, when our oneness in Christ is most critically needed for victory over the forces of darkness! ~ Pastor Steve Offringa
The question to my silver lining friend and good shepherd Pastor Steve, did the practical reality elude us, or have we eluded it? Stephen Prouse, who I am delighted to tell you, will be one of the speakers at The Convergence in September reveals a major barrier to the “critically needed” unity here: We hear our Father’s voice. If you think He’s not talking to you, you have to understand that fasting is critical, prayer and fasting. But it’s also where’s your heart? If your heart is just playing these superficial games, asking these superficial questions and doing superficial things, at what point can someone exist and operate in your life, where you’re in relationship with them, and they’re superficial?” And our “superficial” problem is not confined to the presently divided Body of Christ alone my friends. Spending time in the company of politicos recently, prompted me to ask one of our members if she remembered the movie, The Stepford Wives.
He that hath an ear to hear knows why the preachers don’t preachRevelation…and why teachers don’t teach the Constitution.Because “truth is treason in the empire of lies,” and if the Stepford Wife were free to speak, she’d be the first to tell you that REAL is painful! So, how do we overcome? SERIOUS GUT-CHECK: Do you believe?
You saying you believe in God does absolutely goose eggs for you. You believe in God? So does Satan. And he’s not going to heaven. Believing in God doesn’t change your cosmic trajectory. And it doesn’t get you right with God. Knowing He’s there doesn’t do anything for you. Now, repenting, putting faith in Jesus and following Him, and giving your life and heart to Jesus, THAT changes everything. But just saying, “I believe in God.”? OK…swell…so do Satan’s minions! ~ Pastor John Lavelle
Well, for those of us who struggle with answering yes, that is because our world has NEVER made it easier to say no. And friends, the superficial yes is nothing but a pile of goose eggs, and I am here to tell you, in love, you need to be offended: “He who dares not offend cannot be honest.” ~ Thomas Paine
BUT, for the hearty no-pain-no-gain Joshua 24:15 believers, who know Whom we serve, Who unlike the father of lies, NEVER lies…
When the Devil puts you into an elevated place, he makes you screw your idea of holiness beyond what flesh and blood could ever bear, it is a spiritual acrobatic performance, you are poised and dare not move; but when God elevates you by his grace into the heavenly places, instead of finding a pinnacle to cling to, you find a great tableland where it is easy to move. ~ Oswald Chambers, Vision by Personal Character
Which brings us to a very interesting Bible passage… Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured. ~ Proverbs 27:18 Interesting because it combines the greatest Christian excuse of waiting with its condition: Whoso keepeth the fig tree. In other words, the world which we have been given the authority and dominion over to keepeth is dying, if not already dead. So my friends…I submit that if we truly desire REAL unity, then we have to choose…
Then it is the brave man chooses, While the coward stands aside Till the multitude make virtue, Of the faith they had denied. Once to every man and nation…Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth and falsehood, For the good or evil side. ~ On Spiritual Warfare Lt. Col. Dave Grossman Sgt. Chris Pascoe
And let God handle the rest…
I do not think we have enough of the wondering spirit that the Holy Spirit gives. It is the child-spirit. A child is always wide awake with wonder. But as we get older we forget that a child’s wonder is nearer the truth than our older knowledge. ~ Oswald Chambers, Intelligent Witnessing ~ Wonder Why?
(Red) Blood, White (Spirit), & Blue (Water) ~ 1 John 5:8 KJV
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. ~ Matthew 13:25
Brothers and sisters…I need you to understand that I don’t pick the words, they are delivered to me…much the same as most every song I’ve ever written. God has taught me how to see them, and how to catch them, which is to say, how to understand them. So, beginning with Matt. 13:25, right on through the Prophet Hosea, Proverbs 29, Stephen Prouse, ll Peter 3, 1 John 4, Proverbs 20, 1 John 5, the stunning opening of Thursday night’s BardsFM, Naomi Wolf’s brilliant work connecting this White House to MacBeth, sage advice from Pastor Dave, and Micah’s 7:8 prophecy connecting us to this very historical and glorious Red, White, & Blue moment in time, 1 John 5:8! And then, at the end, my interpretation…for what it is worth.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. ~ Hosea 4:6
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. ~ Proverbs 29:18
We hear our Father’s voice. If you think He’s not talking to you, you have to understand that fasting is critical, prayer and fasting. But it’s also where’s your heart? If your heart is just playing these superficial games, asking these superficial questions and doing superficial things, at what point can someone exist and operate in your life, where you’re in relationship with them, and they’re superficial? You don’t bring them close…and no one had to teach you that. ~ Stephen Prouse “Woeful Ignorance” {ll Peter 3:3-7, l Timothy 6:4} 28min mark Spiritual Warfare, Deliverance, Prison & Men’s Ministry: Repairers of the breach
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. ~ ll Peter 3:3-7
Beloved,believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. ~ 1 John 4:1
Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war. ~ Proverbs 20:18
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? ~ 1 John 5:5
BardsFM from Thursday night…PLEASE listen to the opening few minutes to get the fundamental essence of today’s message: “There has been a shift.”
Here is my response to the assassination attempt against Pres. Trump. As I warned you all in my recent essay “What Time It Is”, about the incarceration of Stephen K Bannon, the attempt on President Trump’s life on Saturday July 13 was sadly predictable, as we are in the period, foreseeable per the historical record in a declining democracy, of the “physical mopping-up of the opposition.”~ Naomi Wolf , “Lady MacBiden”
“When we’ve done everything we can, God will do everything we can’t.” ~ Pastor Dave Bryan, Glad Tidings Church– Time To Roar #33
Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. ~ Micah 7:8
Most of my readers won’t need an interpretation because they’ve been Wide Awake for quite some time. They are what keep counties like Orange (NY) Strong! But too many of my family, friends, and neighbors have pulled the wool over their own eyes for more years than I care to count. And Stephen Prouse describes today’s church perfectly in a word…superficial. You see, the men who slept in Matt. 13:25 are the same men today who don’t want to know {Hosea 4:6}, so they can’t see {Proverbs 29:18}. Nor, can they hear our Father’s voice, as they stumble forth unto the judgment {ll Peter 3:3-7}, easy prey for the cunning {1 John 4:1} spirits, ignorant of Proverbs 20:18 purpose, counsel, and advice. Those who believed not will be overcome by what they were made to overcome {1 John 5:5}, fear rather than feel the shift, totally CLUELESS as to What Time It Is…waiting foolishly on God to do everything He gave them the authority to do. I pray with all my heart for the light of Micah 7:8 to fall on you…but the rest is, and always has been, up to you.
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. ~ Romans 12:18
And how will we know when we have reached the moment where it is no longer possible? Lt. Billy Moseley, U.S. Navy, just answered that question: What I mean by the COVID era, is not only the injuries that have come from these shots and the policies, it’s the moral injuries as well that we’ve discussed. Everyone I know, everywhere I was at, know this was a lie. Behind closed doors they would always concur and agree that it’s all a lie. What is more demoralizing than knowing everything around you is a lie, is unethical, is illegal, and you continue to comply anyway, as well as force your troops to do it. ~ Listen Here!
What could possibly be more evil than to force any child, man, or woman, to live a lie…to violate their own conscience? The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? ~ Proverbs 18:14
Interestingly, Pastor Jack Hibbs just connected the Romans 12 “If” to Ben Franklin’s famous response to the lady who asked what they had just created, “A republic madam, ‘If’ you can keep it!”…which in turn connects the second paragraph of Jefferson’s preamble to their creation, to Lt. Billy’s moment of truth that needs to shine like a beacon of light into every home in America!
—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. ~ The Declaration of Independence
Had the truthful wisdom of our Founders not been scrubbed from the textbooks in the indoctrination camps posing as Public Education (Praise God for the Chevron Ruling), we would ALL know that our “conscience is the most sacred property of all,” from James Madison’s essay on Property in 1792, and that our “unalienable Rights” come from God! ~ Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence in 1776.
When we are honest with God and with a trusted Christian friend, the commitment we have for a deeper walk with the Savior becomes a spiritual bond that will not be broken. ~ Time with God for Fathers, Accountability is an Absolute for Fathers
How many Christians in America today are honest with God? I can answer that with another question. Would you like to hide from God? Go to church. You have, I would estimate, a 95% chance of finding yourself where God isn’t here in America. Sad but true dear friends. If it weren’t so, what Lt. Billy reported in the opening paragraph would have never occurred, and this HORROR happening to hundreds of thousands of children would END NOW!
Here’s another great question. Would you like to hide from church leaders? I am praying that the answer is not, Go to a CLOTH (Christian Leaders Of The Hudson) meeting, where I am hoping to find a few this afternoon. But I have to be honest with you from my personal experience…I’ve been searching for church leadership in Orange County New York since 2020, and the honest truth is they are precious few and far between. But Jesus…
My new friend and entrepreneurial brother in Christ Scott asked me why that is, only yesterday. “Because of lack of faith, fear, and many of them do not believe,” was my honest answer. Scott, who clearly suffers no lack of faith or courage created Patriot’s Faith Awareness Month:
Scott produced 300,000,000 impressions of God’s word to the people in Charlotte, NC! I would say that not only is brother Scott exemplifying Christian leadership, he is fulfilling the Matthew 5:13-16 Will of God! https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/918937318
I was blessed to find second prime example of Christian leadership in Dan Smithwick, President of the Nehemiah Institute who recognized the problem at the very heart of our cultural ills; the appalling lack of Biblical worldview in the churches, schools, and businesses in America…and he’s created a tool, the Worldview Checkup, as a way for Pastors to get a handle on the soundness of their congregational faith, as well as the means to tailor their sermons to address the weakness and gaps revealed by the checkup! worldviewcheckup.org
And finally, there’s my friend and sister in Christ Anita Estes who has finished her latest book, Armed for Prayer, which in my humble opinion, could not have come at a better time. She hopes to have it on bookshelves this coming September. As I shared with her, Eric Metaxas gave us the Why in his Letter to the American Church. Anita’s new book will give us the How.
There is a Convergence coming. And, as modern prophet Joshua Giles warns us, we need to Prepare For The Shift! The question he asks God’s people, “Are You Ready?”
We cannot win without leadership. We cannot lead without God. BUT…IF it be possible…God is not going to reclaim our republic for us. If it is to be, it is up to We the People! Amen?
