The Walk of Faith (3/16/06)

I leave this as my dissertation of truth to explain to you what this journey has been. Though there have been many ignorant comments and commentators I would not want you to remain ignorant. This walk of Faith is highlighted because it is required of all men to please God, because it is the measure of all of you as to your own success and failings, and so that all can see that the ways of God are better than the ways of men. At first appearances men judge that because we went to jail and were accused of serious crimes that we were bad or evil. Notice though their double standard in judgement. We are bad so we suffer but they suffer not of their own account but are justified in placing the blame upon us. Men of faith do not have ears to hear such folly of the wicked. This reasoning is adolescent at best and incapable of understanding the ways of God. I may never meet some of you but I give you my life bound to truth as a gift that will bring you life, and that life being full of abundance.

Dorean was not a mortgage elimination company, scheme, artifice, or device to defraud. It was a righteous trap to ensnare wicked men who hold seats of honor in our world. It was set out as a cure, a remedy. It just so happened that mortgage fraud was the perfect vehicle to get to the matters of the heart. It dealt with your core issues of greed, trust, wisdom, apathy or diligence. It dealt with government as to integrity, honesty, greed, tyranny or service. It dealt with us as to honor, cares of this world, endurance and trust. One thing about God is He knows how to create the perfect storm to test the extremities of all parties effected.

Now in this backdrop our walk of faith had these markers that are constant to all walks of faith and are shared here to encourage you to find these markers in your own life as an anchor for your hope.

What is our hope, who is our hope? Both answers are Jesus the Christ. He is both the object of our hope and the subject of our hope. As the objective it is the Person of Christ as the subjective it is His ways. Before I go into the objective which justifies the subjective I will attempt to thoroughly explain the subjective by the walk of faith known as Dorean to this world.

The subjective walk of faith always begins in the ordinary course of life. Scott was an honest Christian businessman with great ability to organize and complete tasks. I was trained in estates and trusts, securities, contract law, banking and had been to prison. We were friends and challenged each other intellectually. Bank fraud became a topic of interest and we became thorough investigators. Mortgages became the focus for us because of its significance to the average family and the subject of credit was too broad to become prolific. After study we sought out those claiming remedy and studied them. Only then did we become aware there was a void in character and remedy in the market. Nothing super spiritual is happening here we are merely businessmen seeing an opportunity and a wrong which could be addressed. We continued to do the best we could as we cut a path through uncharted territory. We tried to buy the best help and information. We placed all our effort into a path of honor that we thought would be respected. Attempting to train a staff lawyer in hopes that he could codify our truth into the language of the court. Taking 17 cases into the federal court we drew Judge Alsup who went ballistic and threatened us with criminal prosecution. It was this response that first exposed to us our true opportunity for doing something greater than a change in the mortgage industry. This response exposes the judicial puppetry of the bankers and prolific corruption that provides no remedy for the people regardless of truth in their transactions. If we prove or can prove fraud in the contracts but the fiduciary is an owned agent of the fraudsters truth cannot prevail! Trained in truth by Christ we became aware that fixing the painting of the mortgage industry was secondary to repairing the torn canvas of justice. Here a choice had to be made; quit because the fight just got immensely bigger or grow my faith to apply a bigger portion of God to solve a foundational problem. Each side made their choices and each stoked the fires of their resolve. They used FBI and bully tactics. We used refies and media. They made criminal preparations and we made it clear that they were wicked, spineless, political hacks. Fear or faith has to be chosen here when the stakes are life and death. The Christ I believe in is either true and authority over the insubordinate agents or they will have their way with me. Christ the man had to choose the forever settled word or not put His life on the cross. Men of faith put their life on the line. Though Christ can easily defeat these arrogant fools He has certain methods or ways to consider.

First He never sought His own way. He always lived to reveal the spoken word of the father. The goals of my life even if just, had to become secondary to a revelation of the spoken word of God. God has already said He abhors injustice, that Christ has all authority in Earth as in heaven, without faith it is impossible to please Him, the faith of Christ saves, the governments are upon His shoulders, God moves the hearts of Kings and changes them at His discretion. The man of faith sees a circumstance that appears to defy the word of God and sees an opportunity to bring truth. Elijah appears on the scene in I Kings 17 exactly in this manner. There is no mention of this man prior to this moment. He lived in the desert and saw the government worshiping idols as forbidden by God with the warning it shall not rain. Well it was raining. Is God a liar? Perhaps faith applied here solidifies Gods word. Elijah choosing the immutability of Gods word and honor over his own comfort stood against evil. He a desert dweller would suffer most by a drought but reasoned he would suffer immensely more if the God he served had a word that was not reliable. We in the normal course of life arrived at the same place. Our fed government is no less powerful than Ellijah’s. We suffer most by confronting it, but prefer to know that God’s word is true and that every man is a liar than to enjoy the comforts of this world. Christ knew not only the word of God but also that the hour had come. There is a timing a season of fulfillment that must also be measured in the acts of obedience. A father may ask a son to get the car washed but not desire it at 2 a.m. God made it obvious we have discovered a void, a pocket of rebellion in defiance of His word but was this the right time, the moment in history for the fix. Time was needed to ferret this out. Though Utah is not blessed to receive their fix and cursed for their evil participation they were the tool to provide this time. The time to gain the wisdom and courage and to bridge the distance from knowledge to providence. Now knowledge of the timing and time of the action stir a man of faith to arrive with confidence at the point of destiny. God has blessed the USA. We are outside and on the restoration side of our 2520 years of punishment. We were punished for these same sins practiced by the Northern District. Our remedy is not destruction but mercy if God is true. Christ assures this by word and deed and we know God chastises His children in mercy but mercy is not apathy or slack. Next to consider is world prophecy and other governments. I’ll just say timing adds up here also. What about the work of the church; a match. There are about 15 tracks overlaid here to harmonize the symphony of God’s timing that confirm in heavenly tune that the timing is now. That men of faith were brought to this moment in history for such a time as this.

Last to all the confirmations of word is the heart of courage. The word is the voltage but the courage of the man of faith is the current. That zap or strike called at a particular moment needs both to be grounded as it were from heavenly to earthly. God being tender and nurturing knows just how to encourage His servant men. He gave us faith trophies, which are certain gifts that can only be obtained in faith. Some of these are lost in time and give credence to God’s timing. Some that stand out are listed here without great detail but mentioned for your comprehension to find your own trophies in your own battles.

1. Is our building. We chose many months ago not to sublease to bet on God’s deliverance. This was not reasonable, logical, or even smart business, but was a faith stand. After the 21st we lose this trophy of faith and reason appears to be a better choice.
2. Many counselors offered logical defenses and practical remedy to protect Dorean and clients from this onslaught. We felt God had a greater remedy. Our deliverance by God becomes a trophy to faith as opposed to reason.
3. Is God a provider? We gave away to Him our defense to trust Him. Not reasonable again.
4. I have a personal trophy over 20 years old that would appear to be a lie if allowed to be destroyed. It has had many confirmations to be true over time and would lose a major trophy (undisclosed) if this battle continues.
5. Scott would lose the souls of his children to a stupid ex-wife who doesn’t know the ways of God. This is a serious trophy of promise.

There are dozens of others but you will understand how to spot these in your own battles. Trophies give you a hope. There are other things as well. Timely words of people, prophecies, books from previous heroes of faith, divine touches of spirit etc. They all reflect God’s tender mercies towards His children. There are volumes that could be written here but enough has been said to inspire the chosen without enlightening the fools.

The subjective means nothing if the objective Person, the Christ is Himself a fraud. He is sold in this stupid world as a good and wise teacher respectable as any other great thinker. No recognition of divinity is required. Well this moniker is not one made available by the actions of Christ. He only gave you the cold-turkey choice of supernatural or super nut. He was who He claimed to be or Insane. Those who never come to this choice are lazy, unwise, and self-absorbed. Having settled this matter 30 years ago all the ways of God become persuasive. Faith will trust them even to what appears to be one’s own hurt because the forever settled word of God is an extension of the fixed and static, immovable integrity of the person of God. Who as creator has all rights Title and interest in His creation. Faith has the courage to respect title and to restrain the soul of trespassers.
