Winds of Hope, part 2

God is asking us to take the Gospel of Christ to the streets of America, today!

“You ask, ‘How can I do what You are asking of me’?”

Gods says, “Do not hid behind the walls of your church or your fear of the unknown.”

This is what you say, when you are asked, “What are you doing?”

Say, “I am speaking of the Love that Jesus has for you. It is Jesus who is freely offering you hope instead of fear. Jesus is wanting to give you wisdom instead of the unknown that you live with. Yes, Jesus wants to help you get out of the darkness you find yourself captive by.” This is what you say.

And if they say, “You cannot do this.” Just move on to the next street corner, the next parking lot, the next place I show you to speak from, and keep speaking.

God’s Church 1; Satan 0

Article #3: Eagles are flying!

Did you feel what I felt this morning. I felt a spirit of hope moving through my house and over my property. God is sending out a spirit of hope—yes, winds of hope over our nation. God is changing the score. If you did not feel it this morning, you will see it, God 1 and Satan 0 is about to happen everywhere!

Immediately God said to me as I woke up, “Seek me early.” OK, I am good with that and do that usually each and every morning, but this was different. It was, as if I sought the Lord early this morning and throughout the day, God would show up in outstanding ways! God always catches me off guard—I am always playing ‘catch-up’ to what God wants.

So, as I walked around the ranch and prayed before the sun fully came up, this is what God was saying:

1. It is time to take the Gospel of Christ to the street. Forget about your TV ministry, your live-streaming, your ‘in-church’ programs—take the Gospel to the people. One on one, personal contact, and let them hear your voice and see the light of Christ on your face.

2. Speak from the street corners, from the bed of your pick-up trucks, from the park bench in your parks and beaches. Let the people see you! If you do this I will go with you supporting my words (the Gospel of Jesus) with wonders, signs, miracles and healings.

3. Do not be afraid of some sort of persecution. The world will not like you because it does not like me. Be bold and strong. “I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me.”

4. Whatever promises God has spoken to you and you have not received them, be prepared to receive them. Seek me early!

5. Whatever you have been waiting on from God, get ready to accept what the winds of heaven will be bringing your way.

6. God says to the churches, get organized to do this now. Begin today to organize, take me to the streets and wherever people gather in America…Do This Now!

God reminded me of Mark chapter 16—read this today and seek the Lord. Proclaim the words of God over you, your family, your church family, your community, and our nation. God is bringing change, winds of hope and a future of hope.

Now is the time—a time of repentance, the time of acceptance, times of hope, & for Jesus the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow!

Satan 1; the Church 0

Article #2: Chickens laying hard boiled eggs!

I am mostly upset with our Christian Church leaders; they indeed did not seek God and definitely did not allow the wisdom of God to guide their response to the coronavirus (the’re chickens laying hard boiled eggs).

What we do know is that the medical profession was caught off guard and with their limited knowledge about the virus they took an approach that gave them time to organize, prepare for the worst, and shelter the population. I regret that their approach was more about ‘protecting their weaknesses’ rather than ‘protecting the American population’.

The media supported the medical’s position thereby failing to be the ‘check and balance’ by checking the facts and offering a pragmatic alternative. Instead, their interest was and still is, ‘pointing their finger at a political figure’. What a total mess we have created regarding this virus—a virus we call ‘a pandemic’ when it is far from such an assessment and label.

Media, you are not doing your job, wake up and use your freedom of the press wisely! Give us the facts, not your opinions. You rarely acknowledge Jesus Christ and certainly not Satan therefore you cannot see that this virus is a spiritual problem not a ‘who dun it’ problem.

This should never happen again! The Church did not take its place as being a ‘voice of reason and hope’ when tragedy strikes. Satan won this round of insanity when God sent him to try and test the hearts, minds, and souls of the human race. Satan won by creating such fear that reason, wisdom, and a ‘Jesus Response’ was not to be found. Yes, I know that there were individual lights of God’s truth and love in various places in America, but such a limited number of lights shining bright was no match for the fear that Satan spread throughout the nation.

Franklin Graham did do something and used his organization’s resources to help others and we have only a handful of ministers that tried to keep their churches open or spoke how ‘God is greater than the coronavirus’; but their voices were silenced, and they were ridiculed. God is not mocked, and the Holy Spirit carries the Sword of the Spirit to execute punishment when God’s judgment is released.

We need to open up our churches this weekend! Do not wait and do not obey local directives for rules that are not Constitutional and do not help with containing the virus.

What could you do? Here are my recommendations:

ü Have a special service for the elderly and individuals that are at risk. Help them now!

ü Have regular services but with limited attendance—even if this means many more services so your buildings are not crowded.

ü If you have a school or large outdoor facility—use them and allow the elderly to exercise and walk throughout the day so they can get exercise in a safe environment.

ü Offer in-home services to transport at-risk individuals to your church safely or bring them needed everyday items. Do something, be proactive, and shine the light of Christ in every way you can.

ü Promote your 1st Amendment Rights—freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and freedom of petition. What happened to your boldness, your faith with action, your strength of Christ-like character?

You failed church! Where are you pastors that talk without actions? Where are you ‘faith-healer’, did you exercise your gifts of healing? Where are you TV evangelists that ask for money but do little to help those in need? I am ashamed to call you brethren.

It is time to be persecuted, to be spoken ill-of, to suffer wrongdoing for Christ’s sake, to just ‘do the right thing’ and accept criticism from the media and political figures. It is time to become unacceptable and foolish to the world. It is time for the Gospel of Christ.

There is no pandemic only chickens laying hard boiled eggs!

I am amazed as to the creation of this ‘virus crisis’. Is this really a crisis? Is everyone dying who gets sick? Are we burying people in mass graves? Has no one recovered who got the virus? The answer to all these questions is, “No!”

We were led astray by our medical professionals. They did not understand the coronavirus, they conjured up statistics that are completely inaccurate; and they kept telling us that only if we do “social distancing” will we be safe. It is amazing to me that our AMA failed at every level in helping Americas combat this virus.

They did not take a commonsense approach to containing and fighting this virus. This is what we know.

1. The coronavirus was in America and spreading among the population by November 2019.

2. If you live and/or work in a city that has a very high population per square mile you stand a much higher probability of contracting the virus.

3. There is not much one can do for individuals that contract the virus and have a compromised immune system or a weak lung capacity.

4. If you are a smoker, a vapor user, or have problems with breathing you stand a much higher chance of getting the virus.

5. If you an at-risk individual and stay indoors without fresh air blowing into your dwelling, do not take in an amply amount of daily sunlight, do not keep a daily exercise routine, do not stay hydrated and eat well, and lastly, refused to take long hot showers to keep your lungs moist—you are living your own death sentence.

6. The virus is not hurting or killing most Americans—most of will not experience symptoms of the virus.

Californians got the virus very early in America’s timetable but have had it easy, why? We do not live on top of or near each other, we get lots of fresh air and sunlight, we are active ‘out of doors’ people, and we usually eat better with lots of fresh foods.

Some of my friends got the virus early before it was on the ‘international radar screen’ and doctors did not know what they had (they were tested for the flu, but they did not have the flu). They got over the virus just like most Americans.

We made “staying safe” more of the problem than the virus will ever do to America. The medical profession did not have a cure nor understood the physics of the virus. The only option they presented to Americans was social distancing, and in the process they did not save lives (I believe killed more people when all the statistics finally come out) because of the restrictions they placed on the population.

Not only did the medical profession fail America, but also our state politicians, the Christian Church, and the national media by promoting fear and accepting what doctors say without challenging their motives and reasoning.

This is the first article in the series, “Satan 1; the Church 0.” I will be addressing the failure of the Church and Americas allowing our Constitutional Rights to be ignored and taken from us without reason and judgment.

I believe God is not pleased with the church and our religious leaders ‘looking to themselves’ and ignoring what God thought—there was no asking, “God what do you want me to do, or why is this happening, God?” I think God sees His ministers as ‘chickens laying hard boiled eggs’. It is time to ‘ask for forgiveness’—for forgiveness in planning a religious man-made response to the virus. Jesus would not have done this!

A Timely Lesson from the 1st Book of the Bible

No, I am not talking about Genesis; it is the Book of Job, which is considered the first book written for the Old Testament Bible. I am sure it was written either, right after the flood (Noah & the ark) or a few hundred years before the great flood. Either way, this book is the thesis for all who are tried, tempted, and looking for righteousness. I love the Book of Job and the many truths that are found in Job’s life story.

It is not easy being tried (or tested) by God, but you and I must remember that God does not tempt anyone, but it is Satan that tempts us by trying to get us to turn against the Father and live only for ourselves. Satan can never tell the truth and seeks only to bring accusations against you to God in heaven. You are the prize and loved by God, and Satan wants everything that God has planned for you to come to ruin. (The story of Adam and Eve is the best Scriptural story of this theological concept.)

Here is how it works. Satan seeks to destroy God’s purposes for your life. God wants you to decide whom you plan to serve, who is telling the truth, and what you finally choose what is best for your life. God tests us; He is testing you, seeing ‘what you’re made of’. (The New Testament story of Jesus being led by the Holy Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. Jesus was tried and tested. So why do you think you are not tested?)

God is asking if you truly believe (read the last chapter of the Gospel of Mark). Is God who He says He is, and will He do what He says He will do; or is Satan telling us the truth by life’s events, circumstances around us, and/or the tragedies that engulf our very existence? Satan comes to us only to steal, kill, and destroy—remember, Satan knows only to lie; truth is never on his side.

So how did Job handle being tempted by Satan when being engulfed in the process of being tried by God? Where did he end up when Satan threw everything at him, yet under one condition—God’s told Satan, “You cannot take his (Job’s) life?" Could you have done any better? Would you have gotten as far as Job did? Are you a better person than Job? (Be careful how you answer—read the Book of Job with you taking the place of Job.)

My favorite part of the book is chapter 19, and my favorite verses are 19:25-27. Oh, that all of us would be able to say these words and find the hope that only exists in Christ:

I know that my redeemerlives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
26 And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God;
27 I myself will see him with my own eyes; I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! (NIV)

A history lesson as to what happened to Job: 1) all of his kids and their families were killed; 2) all his belongs were taken from him or destroyed (livestock and buildings); 3) his employees were captured or killed that worked for him; and yet, 4) he did not blame or accuse God for what happened to him, the Bible says.

The devil/Satan realized that his first plan of action did not work so he decided to make Job very sick. But still that did not work even though Job’s wife told him to curse God and die. It was not until Job’s friends turned against him that he began to speak. Now finally the motives and reasoning of his heart finally came out. This is the activity of the Holy Spirit! The sword of the Spirit of God divides and brings to light the difference between one’s actions & words, and a person’s true motives and heart response to what God is doing or not doing. Job’s true motives and what he truly believed came out.

Job did blame God by saying, “I did nothing wrong and you (God) turned against me.” God said in reply, “Who made you a judge over Me? Who are you to think that I erred in testing you? You are not as perfect Job as you thought you were, nor are your words just and righteous.”

In the end Job humbled himself, repented, and realized that he is just a man and does not have control over what takes place in his life. But this is not the end of the story. God told Job to pray and forgive his friends who said unkind and incorrect statements to him about his relationship with God and what God wanted from him.

Job did ask for forgiveness, renewed his relationship with God, and prayed for his friends. God in the end blessed Job and gave him back a new family and riches beyond what he had before. God is indeed gracious, full of mercy, and kind in every way!

A Lesson in Worldly & Godly Wisdom

The Holy Spirit always knows what the Father wants and gives glory to the Son, Jesus, in all He is asked to do by the Father & Son. It is no accident that we are on a collision course with Jesus coming back. At times I feel it is just around the next corner.

You have asked for God to reveal Himself more fully, to have all that Jesus has promised to give, and to finally have ‘that later day revival’ with miracles, healings and heavenly signs that will amaze us all and increase our faith. Well, I can testify to all of you that it is within your reach—you only have to make one simple yet life changing response.

I am sure you know the story about Jesus talking about God pruning our lives—just like a farmer prunes his grapevines or fruit trees. Jesus said trees and vines are pruned so they can produce more fruit—this is worldly wisdom. Likewise, God prunes our lives so we can produce the Fruit of the Spirit and reach humanity with the Gospel of Christ—Godly wisdom. We will not like it, Jesus said, but if we will accept the pruning by the Holy Spirit, and allow God to get rid of all the branches and vines in our lives that do not produce God’s fruit (these are parts of our lives that produce fruit but it is not God’s fruit) then we will produce fruit, oil, wine that will last forever and give only God the glory (Gospel of John chapter 15).

The Holy Spirit’s main purpose is to “convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and judgment” (Gospel of John 16:8-9). Why, so we can serve God, have favor with God, and proclaim the Gospel of Christ while bringing honor to Christ in all we do. We must find forgiveness, be clothed with righteousness, and have the judgement of the Holy Spirit keeping us safe from all the evil Satan will be throwing at us. It is the job of the Holy Spirit to work punishment and judgement on all the works of evil—the works of the devil.

We are on the edge of the moving of the Holy Spirit in ways never experienced by the human race. The complete fulfillment of all the words of Christ and the placing of everything under His feet. If you can ‘make it’ to the end, Jesus said you will be saved. The question is, “Are you ready to be saved; can you make it to the end?” I like the question, ‘Do you have what it takes to see Jesus return in all His glory, riding upon a horse, coming in the clouds with a Shout!’?

If you honestly answered, “I am not sure I am ready.” Then what God is now planning and asking of His church to do is right in front of you—God is indeed knocking on the door of your heart, mind, soul and strength. It is time to be pruned by the Holy Spirit!

The Lord is not done with us!

I am amazed as to the patience of our Lord. His love and kindness proceeds from His throne even when we are such failures or jerks. The Spirit did not wait for me to wake up this morning to begin talking. God woke me up through the night quoting Scriptures. Once again, God will not be programmed or defined as man considers how God gets things done. When we got God all figured out, God does a right turn or U-turn on us. We will always see God through a colored looking glass—never able to understand all there is about God.

As the Spirit moved me through the night-hours, I found myself troubled and worried as to the Church’s response to what God wants us to do. I am concerned and fully understand that only one church out of the seven churches of the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ responded to what the Spirit was saying to the churches. America’s churches will have to choose what their response will be. Will God remove their candlestick, or will they repent and accept the criticism of the Holy Spirit and His correction.

What is the answer to the coronavirus and its effects on America? The answer is simple, choose repentance and righteousness. Consider oneself ‘poor, blind and naked’ when it comes to our response to the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives. As Americans we think we are rich monetarily, but God says “you are poor” because you do not have the riches of Christ. We say, we can see—we have knowledge and insight beyond all other nations, but God says, “you’re blind” because of our lack of spiritual knowledge we cannot recognize the purposes and will of God. Last of all, God says, “you’re naked”, even though our pride and money dresses us with only the best the world offers. God sees us as ‘undressed’ because we are not dressed in His glory, His honor, His righteousness, or His love. In our pride we think we are something special, but my hope for all of us is that we will acknowledge our weaknesses and self-importance and cry out for God’s acceptance thereby giving up all that we think is rich, important, and self-gratification.

The virus is not a natural problem, it is a spiritual problem with its roots in a spiritual attack of Satan—this is so obvious! We cannot overcome this problem with a quick fix by saying we are important to God so He will protect us, or a medical answer will be discovered within a year. I consider this a trial—Church, you are being tested by God! One of the Holy Spirit’s jobs is to allow and guide us to be tried and tested. When this happens Satan always enters the picture (reference Job and Jesus in Scriptures).

So, we are in a season of testing and a battle against Satan. When this happens, we have no other option other than to humble ourselves, repent of our pride and sins, and allow God to have His way with us. It is only in the process of testing, refining, cleansing, and acquiring spiritual strength that God’s will is accomplished.

Be the church that repents and changes their lives. Give up the pride that is holding you back from asking God to cleanse and repair your life. We have failed God in the past; do not make this our future.

As I woke up the Lord began talking, again!

A second prophetic word, “What are you wearing?”

As soon as I woke up Thursday morning, the Lord began to prophesy to me, again. This is the second word from the Lord on the second day; a word of prophecy to give to His Church:

“The Spirit of the Lord said, ‘What are you wearing?’ I replied, ‘I am wearing my robe of righteousness.’ ‘Yes, you are wearing a robe of righteousness, but it is not My robe of righteousness. It is your robe made from your own righteousness.”

“Your robe of righteousness only hides your sin, your secret and hidden sin. My robe does not hide your sin, it covers your nakedness, therefore your sin remains.”

“You say, ‘How does my sin remain?’ It remains because you still take pleasure and joy in your sin. Your sin has remained; your robe only covers your hidden sin.”

“You say, ‘How can this be?’ I say because you have not cried out to me for forgiveness for all your sin. Why have you kept your sin? Why do you try and hide your sin from me? Your love for me is not greater than the love for your sin.”

The Lord says, “You cannot wear my righteousness unless your sin is washed away. Your sin remains. How do I know this because the joy you have is not complete? If you had my joy, if you had my light in you, all darkness would be done away with and your joy would be complete. But your sin remains because of your love for your sins. How do I know this because your sadness testifies against you? My joy is not complete in you? Repent I say! Come reason with me, ‘Though your sins be a scarlet red, yet I will make you white as pure snow’.”

“The Lord says come! Come and wash yourself from all your sins. Seek me early; seek me now. Get rid of all your sin so you can wear my righteousness and have my joy! My joy does not fade, my joy does not fluctuate—it is constant and brings life to everyone that is in trouble. Now is the day; your day is today—this is the Lord’s day for forgiveness and righteousness.”

I ask that you forward this message to all within the Body of Christ. To your friends, leaders, pastors, teachers, to all you have authority in the Church. This is a word of the Lord for all of us, for His whole Church.

As I was walking, God was talking

A prophetic word…a word of hope, warning, timing, and urgency

Immediately after waking up this morning, I felt the Spirit of God move over me. Something was about to happen, but I had no understanding as to what the Spirit of God would begin talking to me about. What God said to me during my morning walk was so important I decided to tell the Church (those you have a relationship to Jesus Christ) by the end of the day. This is what God said to me. It might scare you so be prepared for the Sword of the Spirit to divide and execute between justice and judgment; between truth that will either bring hope or despair. It frightened me when the Spirit spoke, and I am sure it will scare you. These are the days of the fear of the Lord!

The Spirit says: “I have found my church to be unfaithful. But you say, ‘How have I been unfaithful?’ You have been unfaithful as a man is unfaithful to his wife. But you say, ‘I have never been unfaithful to my wife!’ Yes, you have! With your heart you have sinned against me. You have not kept my love for you, nor have you hidden my words in your life. But you say, ‘How have I done this?’ I say as your eyes and hands have betrayed your love for your wife, so has your lack of discretion toward me failed to keep the love, joy, and peace I have given you.”

“You say, ‘I have no need of repentance’ but it is your lack of repentance that is your downfall. I am calling you to repentance. To repent of your lack of love for me. You have stolen from me by claiming your love is your effort. You have deceived yourself with your joy, thinking that what joy you have is given from me. But indeed, you are poor blind and naked by not having my righteousness. But you say, ‘I do have righteousness’. But I say your righteousness is as filthy rags. What righteousness you have does not come from me.”

“I say once again, cry out for repentance that comes from me. Cry out for righteousness (my faith and love in your life) that makes you clean and whole. I say, cry out for redemption, and do not say ‘I am redeemed’ when you have replaced me with your own works of righteousness and redemption.”

“I have dispersed your virus because of my great mercy, but I will not restore your prosperity without my repentance and my righteousness working in your lives. You will not recover; you will not be restored without my help. Do not look to your government to make you rich. You will fail; I will not let it happen.”

“The time, your time, is shortened. I will stand at the door of your hearts and will knock. Now is the time of repentance. Now’s the time for works of repentance that come from me. Now is the time of righteousness—righteousness that you cannot make happened. For it is my righteousness alone that I expect my church to have. Make your vessel clean! Make your vessel full of my righteousness.”

As the Spirit spoke to me, I was reminded of the Fear of the Lord that Job found, and that Jesus depended upon before He was crucified. May the Lord grant us His repentance and His righteousness as we seek the Lord through prayer, fasting, and crying.

Yes Lord, We Are Broken in Front of You!

I ask that you forward this message to all within the Body of Christ. To your friends, leaders, pastors, teachers, to all you have authority in the Church.

So, Now What?

A commentary not built on biblical wisdom but on common sense

The medical profession and the news media are going to keep this virus with us forever. Neither group has a definitive answer. I expect the medical profession to eventually get a handle on this virus but there will surely be a second and third virus outbreak. Viruses mutate and it will take much more than ‘social distancing’ to overcome the virus’s ability to infect individuals.

The news media is too political to be smart—they are only looking for the next daily headline. What facts they give us today will be outdated within a week, and they cannot predict the future of the virus even though they would like us to think they can. Oh, how ignorance breeds ignorance.

So, I am asking you, “What now?” Are we never going back to school? Will we ever be able to get a haircut again? How about flying in an airplane, not until 2030? Insanity only produces more insanity. What are we fearful of? They want us to be fearful of getting sick. Most of us will never have any symptoms even though we get or have gotten the virus. Are they afraid of someone dying? With the halt to our economy, there are less people dying now per capita even with the spread of the virus. Here is the bottom line: are we dumb, fearful, and are digging our own graves? We will not die of the virus but have chosen rather to die by mental suicide in accepting a slow long death of living with constant fear.

Here are the facts:

1. The virus is everywhere even on the bottom of our shoes—you cannot avoid the virus.

2. The virus can travel 3, 6, 13 feet who knows how many feet—maybe 2 miles.

3. If you chose to live in a city where people are literally living on top of each other, you will have a higher chance of getting sick because you are living in a self-imposed incubator. Because of your physical geography you are breeding the virus in large volumes by being made to stay in your self-imposed prison.

4. Wearing a cloth mask cannot protect you from the virus unless the virus is traveling on a large water molecule—wearing a cloth mask offers a false sense of security.

Want the virus to go away, most Americans must come down with the virus. We need to build up antibodies, so the virus does not come back next fall, next year, or for the next 10 years. I consider the news media and the medical profession to be ‘dumb and dumber’ with their pride and their use of limited information.

Let’s begin to be practical about this virus. One, it is time to go back to work but in control environments. Two, it is time for kids to be back in school but with a school nurse and school personnel doing their jobs monitoring student health. It is time to begin flying, driving, walking, running, and even water skiing. Get over it, America! If you are one of the vulnerable groups, you need to do everything to keep you well and healthy. But for all others, get the virus, get over the virus, and become part of the solution—by not allowing the virus to infect America again.

Want to do something good for your neighbor, family, the elderly, the person with a compromised immune system, and your community—then do not be afraid to get the virus, build up antibodies and begin to spread the antibodies. This is how we help each other and build a stronger America.

Fear only makes one dumber; intelligence creates a plan for healthy living.
