Magnify VII (4-3-09)

Do we really believe in the work of Christ? If so I ask myself “should a man like me run away?” (Num. 6:11) I hear all my critics (some using the misnomer “friend”) rail upon my choices and encourage me with all the daggers. It is easy for coach potato Christians to comment on the woes of battle while they sit on the sidelines with their intellectual comfort of mental ascent acquired from their readings. Faith is an action verb that is far more than mental ascent.

Last night as I left the chapel with a man I never met before. He was obviously in deep distress. His 14 year old daughter Tomica died this day. How can you comfort a man in this distress? What empathy can rise to the tragedy. I ask myself “Can a man like me run away?” from a situation like this. I had no social obligations to this man, Michael, I could have easily gone about my business and walked right past his tears.

When I ask myself like Nehemiah “can a man like me run away?” What am I asking? I search myself and ask do I really believe in the redemptive work of Christ? Do I more than comprehend but have a gnosis which incorporates the action of faith into experience? Am I truly a new creation in Christ Jesus? Not at the expense of my personality but in the complete fullness or capacity of my personality. The old man which was Kurt is to selfish for Michael’s need, but the new man which is Kurt is living in a different capacity. My father told me Scotty led his new celly to the Lord. A high ranking member of Hells Angels. Can a man like Scott run away? What of you, can you run away?

Fears and phobias and their agents would have us never commit to a battle unless the outcome was certain and the trek was painless. These are the methods of the devil. God will bring you a faith challenge with no further insight except this is my path walk ye in it. Nehemiah knew God to be faithful and that God was his all in all. He knew this before the revelation of Christ. Shame on us if we shrink back. Have you ever pondered this truth He who does not gather with me scatters? Notice there is no neutral.

Who exactly should God send into the frey of battle in this fraudulent mortgage industry. One who thinks he knows God or one who does. Imagine the strange scenario that arrives in battle. Bow down to me or go into my furnace. You think Alsup’s offer to me was any less? He made it abundantly clear I offended him with my contempt of his authority. TO gather with Alsup was to scatter with Christ. Now making a stand the furnace gets fired up 7 times hotter as though the original heat was not enough. This is precisely where those who do not know the Lord who called them to battle can never meet the Lord who shows up in the furnace. No matter how hot the battle gets the Lord is present. Even the evil men cannot take the effects of their own weapons. Should the furnace make me run? Should the tyrant make me run? Should the delays and disappointments make me run? Answer the questions yourself. If God be for you and present in any danger, supplying you to the full capacity of the work of Christ you were called to walk in, for the eternal glory and testimony of His Son, can a man like you run?

I cannot! I know I will see victories never imagined by the scatterers because I am gathering.

There was the man born blind whom Jesus healed and there was Elisha (2 Kg. 6:16-17) having God open the eyes of his servant. I like all of you have been born blind to God and His kingdom yet if we pray and magnify the name of the Lord perhaps like these men our eyes will be opened and we will see how silly it would be not to enter a battle or to fear the hordes of the enemy and run.

Hebrews 11 talks of those who subdued kingdoms, received their dead and other wonders of God they were called to walk in. Not one name is a coach potato. The mortgage fraud industry is a front for a spiritual sickness and battle. The wall street guys can be champions of the world if it can afford their price but who will bring down the strongholds of the enemy that fortified the hearts of wicked men? Isaiah said Lord send me. I, among all the mocking laughter and shameless ridicule, am glad of my calling and hopeful in the purposes of the Lord who calls and equips. I magnify His name as the name above all names and glory in His work. I shall not run. If I perish I perish, but I think it will take more than this hot box blow hard furnace of Alsup and his minions.

Magnify VI (4-1-09)

I know that it is my desire to evict some of you from Smallville. To have your hopes fixed upon the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ. I do not use Christ as a typical religious figure head or Christianity as a comparative religion, Christ or Christianity in truth do not provide this to the reason of man. Christ is either who He claimed to be or was a worthless fraud. He is the only way to regeneration of our being and resolution with God. If He is not the way Christian thought is the most foolish, vanity in its highest. I cannot evict you from Smallville only God reaching towards you to implant revelation in your soul can quicken you to life. That is why my words will always find a critic. Why the FBI will always be populated with agents. Why innocence will continue to be prosecuted. Few is the number that are led into Christ and many the number who dwell in Smallville awaiting their damnation. I speak to you few at the insult of the many.

You few I ask to shake off the stupor of this world. You are not chosen to be a vessel in God’s house just so He can cater to your whims and fancies for comfort in this world. Adam was personally entrusted with a spirit alive toward God. In pride he gambled that away in disobedience for the wage of death. All of us have inherited this wage, this condition. Christ the last Adam came to give this life back but not in the same measure He now possesses that life giving Spirit in trust on our behalf. In essence our nature has made us incompetents to be trusted again with the gift of relationship to God. That does not leave us hopeless but utterly dependent. This is why Christ being a fraud destroys any hope. We have to be in Him who possesses the life giving spirit to be alive. He is the trustee competent to administer the gifts of God without destroying the beneficiary. Though we have been quickened we are naive to think regeneration is not a life long process. Constantly Christ is an active trustee with the care of the beneficiary as His constant concern. Quite frankly I am forced in the Dorean model to follow His example. Sure I have my material temptation, my spiritual temptation, and my compromise temptation, but if I resist the devil and rebuke him through Christ I can have a hope of victory which is in Christ. Being entombed by circumstance is not our defeat. It is where we discover the truth of the power of Christ. How many times have we become forgetful of His power. I think most of you are falling prey to this bad habit during this long delay within the Dorean process. I don’t think you truly understand your salvation.

Using the Hebrews as an example from scripture let us try and gain a clue. Shortly after Joseph a Pharaoh arose who remembered him not and put the Hebrews into slavery. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generations knew nothing of freedom. Along comes a deliverer (Moses a type of Christ) empowered by God to restore the truth to their nature. Still they couldn’t shake the shackles of Smallville. Only two out of the whole lot saw the freedom promised and could not look back to slavery with comfort. The rest died in the desert outside of Smallville but still in bondage. You were born into Adam (the founder and Patriarch of Smallville) and this means you were in bondage to sin and death. Not just the physical death but also the second death which is eternal. Scott and I as your trustees are in a very dark bottomless pit with victory unrealistic from any human means yet our circumstance is no where near as desperately hopeless as our Smallville citizenship. It is easy for Scott and I to have a hope of victory, to sense the everlasting arms of God below our bottomless to lift us up, because we can remember the power displayed to evict us out of Smallville. Do you truly comprehend what put Christ on a cross and in a tomb and what loving power it took to blast through that rock alive forevermore? Perhaps you need to revisit this thought when your circumstance is large and crushing. In Smallville everything appears large and looming. Seated with Christ in heavenly places gives a completely different perspective.

Let me be honest with you a minute. I write this magnify series and these blogs more from my need to encourage my faith than benevolence for you. I am as frail as any of you. I am as carnal minded and prone to make God my servant. What I have learned from my trials before Dorean is that God is faithfully reliable. His ways may be painful but boy are they delightful. I have cried all the tears, been perplexed, cast down, and fatigued but my trustee has gifts for them all and I can go to Him in prayer and He always answers. Trust our trustee and indentures of the trust will be revealed to you in good time. Then like Scott and I you will say to serve the Lord is good. Slavery creeps into your psyche but a right spirit placed into your changes that psyche. Can any deliverance needed be greater than how we began this race? I think not and looking back I see the smoldering of Smallville condemned by the Lord and with thanks look forward to a life time of deliverance.

Magnify V (3-31-09)

About a month ago as I was seeking the Lord for a definite word I was met with silence. Most would be disheartened by this silence as indeed I used to be. But now I have come to cherish these moments not for themselves but what they hold in promise. As I sought an answer I was gently nudged not to seek an answer but to seek God alone. This was brought to me by the recollection of Samuel. (Friend of God) Thought I sought God alone the silence continued.

There is a story of Mary and Martha petitioning Christ in utter desperation over the terminal health of their brother Lazarus. Most of you know the story but do you know the truth therein. Jesus delayed. To them He met them with silence. When He came their thoughts were “too late.” Why do you suppose Christ behaved this way? Was He cruel, too busy, disinterested? Perhaps as the scriptures make clear His care for them was His constant concern. (like ours) Also though is the ordained work to glorify the Son. Are we without benefit by the Son’s glory? Did their prayers get answered? I would say exceedingly, abundantly, beyond all they could ask or think. (Eph. 3:20) Actually what could easily be construed as a shun in the spirit was a promotion. God knew He could trust Mary and Martha with the silence. Their prayer was aright. They were wise to rely on Him. God’s silence was the answer to their prayer as it was for mine. To seek only a visible cause and effect prayer life is a very elementary state of grace. God’s ways and methods are to exceed our comprehension. When He is unfathomable we should be on the lookout watching and praying because His redemption draws near.

Another example is Mary seeking the dead body of Christ at the tomb. She was asking a living, risen, impossible-to-die-Lord. Was her prayer answered? She did receive the body of Jesus but exceedingly, abundantly, beyond her wildest imagination. Can you magnify the Lord with me? Even if your imagination expands He is BIGGER!

Some prayers are met with silence because they are wrong. You don’t need a fruit inspector to tell you this you know. All the others if God be not a liar are answered. Most of the time answered better and bigger than your prayer request. Mary and Martha got Lazarus back but they also got a revelation of the resurrection power of the Son. He answered their prayer according to their need but forever changed their knowledge of Him in their sight. His glory and esteem all rose with their knowledge.

Do you think Mary and Martha even pondered the thought of receiving their brother from the dead while he lay stinking and Jesus remained far removed? Of course not. Neither can you imagine what work Christ is up to while we at Dorean lay stinking and ridiculed for our reliance on Christ. Thought He be afar off He has heard our prayers and when time and place converge into the ordained work for the Son to walk in what new revelation will we receive? Will it be any less spectacular than Mary or Martha’s? I think not! What will be the report to this generation of the mighty works Jesus has performed? You are important and so are your struggles and needs, but not so exceedingly important that their will be exalted over the Son. Nor should we desire this because it is clear by God’s practice that He knows my needs better than I know them myself.

To think Scott, Kurt, Alsup, prison, foreclosure, fraud, are outside the control of our Creator is the folly of our fruit inspectors. Don’t dwell in Smallville with the faithless. They don’t pray or understand what a high privilege was bestowed upon you when God gave you prayer for Him to answer. This knowledge is too great and too intimate for the strangers of creation. Adam brought disobedience to your soul and Christ brought you trust. Choose now who you will serve. If you choose Adam even a stupid fish will rebuke you. These are our critics? Please! The next silence God gives you could very well be the silence of your enemies.

Magnify IV (3-31-09)

I have seen the comment here to many times to count “what benefit does all this religious talk bring,” or some variation thereof. For the commentor none but for those of you who are going to magnify the Lord with me it shall be a great deal of importance.

A lot of attention is paid to my works by these foolish fruit inspectors. I want to use this idea of works viewed through a Biblical perspective to magnify your understanding. There are basically 3 Greek words used for works in the New Testament I will spell them in English phonetically since I’m not certain this blog is capable of Greek letters. (1) Is the work Ergon its cognates have entered our language as the root for energy. (2) Dunamis which entered into our language as the root for dynamite. (3) Praxis which is equal to acts or practice.

When my fruit inspectors talk of my acts in judgment they are really thinking of praxis. It is funny that God’s word uses this word in context much like they apply it but the attributes are severely misplaced. In Mt. 16:27 God judges MEN according to their practice. Nothing mentioned of men judging men but that’s just a minor detail. This is further explained in Mt. 25:31-46 lest you be confused by a small text. The most prevalent word used is dunamis to address the work of Christ. This is a holy dynamite power ordained for Christ to walk in. To us these works are revealed as miracles. We are not called to do works. We are to live by faith and that faith being the faith of Christ. This not of yourselves it is a gift of God. Study the works of Christ and you will see that God the Father uses these works to authenticate His Son and to bring revelation to man. If these are the parameters of Christ work what makes you think your prayers, imaginations, or works outside of them net any benefit. In practice my critics say I am a thief and a liar. Yet they fail to allow Christ to judge me. If they are judging me with the judgment of Christ why do they fail to see the work of Christ in my words and deeds? Is Christ’s judgment as feeble as a man’s?

Here is my perspective challenge for you. Are you using feeble human judgement concerning your involvement in Dorean? Could it be that Christ has already been ordained to do dunamis work through your life at this time in history to bring revelation of the Son? Oh yeah this is all about you and your idea of how Christ shows Himself to be your God. This is my imagination speaking here so I admit in advance that it falls far short of the actuallities of the true work of Christ.

Suppose my imagination is correct that God hates injustice. That He looks down upon the poor, weak, and needy. That He hears their petitions for mercy and justice. That He will act according to His will to address the issue. That He has (like the man born blind) ordained a work for His Son to do at this time, in this situation, that glorifies the Son and reveals the redemption plan. If this short sighted imagination can stretch just a little perhaps it can at least see the clouds which are the footstool of our God.

Perhaps then Scott and I created Dorean to enlist enough witnesses to the fraud that God could trust to be faithful with His Son’s glory. All of us called as saints given over to the glory of the Son being willing to make no claims upon our life except to bring honor to Christ are now firmly planted in the controversy. Now our petitions are a true report brought by the body of Christ to the Father. Suddenly and in an instant when ideal for the revealing of the Son and His redemptive plan God ordains a work, a work only God can do with His dunamis power. WE become like the 153 fish. They were schooled against their nature in shallow water at a time of day not to their liking, fattened and made large, all to be consumed in the work of the Son ordained to bring Him glory. Will you allow yourself to be given over fully, to be ensnared in this net called Dorean? Perhaps you were called for such a time as this. This is the one act or practice you can perform; will you give yourself over to God’s work? The fish had no choice but we do. If we choose right how much more will God glorify His Son through our life than these simple fish.

The world makes its plans to fix the problem in remedies contaminated by greed, fraud, and corruption. None of these methods are remotely equal to how God wants to redeem the situation. I am eagerly watching and praying with my eyes fixed on Christ as He agonizes out His plan of redemption. What will God have me do in His work. I stand already because with tears of blood I see Him concerned about deliverance. Do not fall into temptation but enduringly keep watch. Our Lord will act soon, that is His practice!

Magnify III (3-30-09)

It is said in Ps. 34 to magnify His name. What is there to the name of our Christ? I remember when choosing the names of my three children that I searched for names representative of the primary character traits the spirit indicated to me. Others choose out of respect for another family member. What's in a name? Why not call Him John the Messiah or Brian of Monty Python fame? Jesus is the English version of the Hebrew name Yehowshuwa which also branched down to Joshua. There is no "J" in Hebrew so the "Y" came into our language as such. Yehowshuwa, Joshua, Jesus all mean Jehovah is Salvation. This is a powerful name. It is the "I AM" of Moses with this added office of Salvation incorporated. It includes in name by reference "Christ," Messiah" and all other prophetic labels of identification.

There were a few Joshua's in the scriptures. Is Jesus anymore significant than these others? First let's look at Joshua Moses' servant. He was a great leader and obedient unto God. He brought a level of deliverance to the people of God but he did not bring them rest. Though he was an excellent type his failure was indication of the need for a greater Savior. The other was Joshua the high priest found in Zac. 3:1-10. He likewise is a faithful servant unto God but he has to be delivered from his own filth. The text makes it clear a "branch," one greater, would come to ultimately deliver what these saviors lacked. That being the rest of God. This is spoken well of in Heb. 4:1 - 5:10. The very name of Jesus is the hope to all men of God taking on our need for salvation. He is by His show in the flesh upon this earth all about the redemption plan of God. Jesus Himself never used prayer for His selfish ambitions or desires. He always kept His prayer life in submission to the redemptive work of His Father. Obviously we can't pray as Christ did but how are we to pray? Jesus tells us in Luke 11:1-13. Our need of bread is present but if you'll notice it is co textually within a prayer consistent with God's redemptive work. Many pray and never see their answer. Is this truly possible if this text be true? I've learned from the Lord's prayer in Jn. 17 which is answered that if we actually pray by the true redemptive definition of prayer, praying is the answer. For by it we become one as God is one with God. Is God not the answer to all our prayers? As I sought God recently for His word He drove me into that Samuel spirit of friendship. The word I was seeking was Smallville compared to the answer I received in His presence. How much larger was my answer when the revelation of God entered the equation. Suddenly it was not ab out me or my imaginations of the work before me, it was God's work in me and me in His work. He is about things for superior to my imagination. So great is His work that my request actually appear silly and off point to me now.

I'm beginning to see Dorean outside the windows of Smallville. Let me ask you a question; if God truly directs and makes firm our steps (Ps. 37:23-24) and delights in our way is it possible for Dorean to exist and for your involvement to occur by happen stance or mere chance? If you have come to this knowledge that you are in this by God's design let me ask you another question. Is it Smallville thinking just to concern yourself with economic stability for this life? Have you invested any time in knowing what God is doing? Could it be that your petty little concerns might just be swallowed up in the greater work of God? Let me give you an example from scripture. In Jn. 21:1-14 we have God's disciples falling back on their own talents in fishing. They have seen the resurrected Lord before but they are not prayerfully "watching" this strange redemptive work of the Lord. They fish all night and catch nothing. In the morning against all proper fishing techniques the Lord tells them to throw their net over the side. Foolish to their skill set but done as an accommodation. Now they catch 153 fish. Why 153? 153 is the sum total of 1-17. 17 is the number for victory. 153 represents the number for the sons of God. Right in the midst of Smallville ordinary is a significant revelation of God's redemptive work. Think how this truth was recorded so 30 generations of men could read it. This was not just a catch of fish there was eternal truth about God within. Think also how God maintained and fed those fish until their use in history. Everything is placed into service for God's purposes. In your ordinary life, in your ordinary mortgage scenario, in your ordinary financial struggle is there an extraordinary event just on the other side of your boat? How can you know if you are not watching and praying with the Lord as He agonizes over His redemptive work? Magnify the Lord with me and let us pull in all the fish around us to the glory of our Lord.

Magnify II (3-29-09)

Prayer, what is it? To most people it is petitions for the desires of our heart. This is not prayer! This is the genie in the sky to which we make our wishes.

Prayer is a great privilege. Most of us measure prayer at what it cost us. How we must sacrifice time and emotions to petition. Rarely do we ever contemplate what it costs God to give us this privilege. Without understanding the cost it will be impossible for one to understand its purpose. How foolish to think Christ agonized in His spirit just to give you a spiritual credit card you could use to transact all your carnal and selfish desires. This is the style of the devil not God. What did Christ agonize over? Was it just the physical pain of the cross? I think not. If that is your belief it is a product of smallville. I do not want to diminish His physical agony but just to think of God’s motives at the limits of your comprehension of pain is vision that needs magnification. Prayer is easy to the childlike saint. The person who tries to explain why God answers prayer on the ground of reason is already chasing vanity. God answers prayer on the ground of redemption and no other ground. This redemption is our gift but that does not mean what is free to us had no cost. Equally silly is to think it can’t truly be free so I must add something to it. These are those who think if I am earnest and sacrificial God must take heed to my prayers and answer.

Let us go to Gethsemane (Mt. 26:36-46) and see if this historical text magnifies our vision. Here we see our Lord in prayer and disciples commanded to “sit and wait.” Many love to think of the Christ of redemption as “Savior” or “advocate” but they miss what is made obvious here; He is Lord and Master. Are you the master of your prayer life?

If we accept Christ as Master a certain strange set of conditions must come with it. “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” Already my will is subjected. My desire to do something, to help God or help myself is outside this command. Redemption is at the foremost thought of God’s heart. It is what He is praying for and at the heart of His commands. Notice here that not all the disciples were present. Only three were invited into this private moment of our Lord’s redemption work. This was a privilege. What was the purpose of these three appointed to “Stay here and watch with me.” First I will say that these three represent the three temptations our Lord faced. Peter for the sensible, material temptation for help. James for the ritualistic super spiritual temptation. And John for the temptation of compromise. It is fitting that these three be witness to the agony of doing it God’s way. Each represented the shortcut which is the human temptation to run from pain and confrontation. At the beginning of His ministry Christ set His heart as an over comer of the shortcuts and now He brought His disciples to that place. Yet for their own sorrows they slept. He, Christ, is agonizing over reversing the fall of Adam, dealing with death, sin, and redemption and for their own sorrow they slept. Do you understand the truth in this text? Are you asleep toward the will of Christ? Do you even have a clue of what Christ is agonizing over in your situation? Wake up: lest you fall into temptation! There is no room for smallville in the work of the Lord. You have been invited into Dorean. Why? Just so you can agonize over $1,000 or your house? Surely Christ as Master also controls the circumstance of your life. Like He invited these three He’s invited you into this mess. Are you watching and waiting or falling into temptation?

Magnify I (3-29-09)

We have come to a time of separation. You can choose between the minds of Smallville whether it be Vineland or Nemoland or the truth. This is how you will know that I have spoken the truth and these critics of like mind are not of the mind of Christ. I do not yet possess a definite prophetic word but I do have a definite prophetic sense I am convinced at the moment that I cannot share this with you successfully unless the eyes of our understanding be enlarged. A man’s reach should exceed his grasp. The problem with the residents of Smallville is that they reduce God down to the vindicator of their judgments to the arbitrator of petty human relations and squabbles, to their servant. It is time for some of you to pack up your things and move out of Smallville with its diatribe of faithlessness playing as its anthem.

So as the psalmist says in Psalms 34:3 I ask you “O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.” Our vision is so impaired when it comes to seeing the work of God in our times and lines that we must use the magnifying glass of His word and His Spirit to enlarge our view. That will be the goal of this magnify series.

This is something we must do together. I likewise need an enlargement. When Scott and I started Dorean we began with prayer and fasting. It was not super spiritual stuff that brought us into the battle. Living in Christ the fruit of the Light is goodness, righteousness, and truth. When the darkness of mortgage fraud was exposed to this light we received our assignment. Our orders were not a complete array of battle tactics or prophetic words on the entire war. In fact more than anything our orders were to pray. Anybody who lives in Smallville I will say boldly does not know how to pray. They cannot even comprehend prayer. I will even venture to say to my brothers and sisters that when we are finished a little magnification most of you will have an entirely new prayer life that is potent and effectual. The first part of Dorean was to identify an injustice and to involve ourselves with the victims. That is the beginning of prayer. In this beginning is the essence of the whole truth of God’s redemptive work in Christ. Christ is our kinsman redeemer. To accomplish this He has to first kin himself to us by putting on our flesh life in our environment. Once He identified with us He went to prayer. Prayer is not natural to humans, it is stupid. It is only natural to those whose spirits have been renewed, made alive. It is a spiritual function only. True prayer God always answers so to learn how to pray is of an immeasurable value. Dorean in its current state with all your struggles and our incarceration is an answer to those early prayers of our beginning. This you will understand shortly.

I Surrender (3-27-09)

Many of you have been surprised by my quiting blogs. Quiting is not a true option for the Christian man but surrender is a necessity. Christianity today is bogged down by too many worthless traditions. Worthless in that they are based on false premises and not true to the gospel. The true gospel preaches Christ as the center of all things. People of the type that are always looking at others to inspect their fruit do not know the gospel and perhaps do not even know the Christ of the gospel.

In Psalms 37:5 says to commit your way to the Lord. This term has the historical association of placing your burden upon a camel by rolling it off you to it. Another way to think of it is placing a letter in a mail box. You don’t sit around waiting for the mailman to pick it up. You have committed it to their service without a concern. The best revelation I’ve heard on this came from Pastor Melissa Scott who acquainted it with the rolling away of the stone of the tomb of Jesus. Jesus doesn’t need the rolling away He passed right through the stone but we on the other hand need the stone rolled away to become witness to the resurrection power.

I have great confidence in my Christian walk but I would very much like to point out that I do not have confidence in myself. I believe the Bible’s report and experientially know my spirit that I was born into Adam’s fallenness. Nothing good resides in me. I was born and knew nothing of truth or freedom. I was a slave to the devil, this world, and my flesh. I was already entombed in my trespasses and sins. By revelation the resurrection power liberated me.

Recently I was under great spiritual oppression. The pressure of these experiences are always the same; don’t commit your way unto the Lord. Adam was disobedient and this is our inheritance. But with the Last Adam we have been given power to trust. The power and gifts are all from the Lord. If we commit our way to Him He will do the works. We can walk in them but are powerless to perform them. Think of a physical healing. My sister has terminal cancer. I can pray until I’m blue in the face for her healing, can add fasting, and tears but nothing I can do will create healed flesh. Contrary to my efforts is the Lord’s. I can share with my sister promises of God, even reveal some of the fuller knowledge He has given me about her healing being a work set out for Him to do for His glory like the blind man from birth healed by Christ, but only committing our trust in Him will liberate us from the entombment of fretting.

The bride’s glory is that she walks in the honor of her Husband. The Father set out works for Christ to do through His body. For me right now that is the work of Dorean. I will fail you all but if I surrender my will, desires, and works unto the Lord He will work. Will the fruit inspectors curse His work? Yes they will even in the name of God. They are my witness that nothing good resides within me. The only answer I have to offer you for your hope is right there in Psalms 37. That formula works because it is His way. The end of the man who commits to the Lord is Peace. Only Jesus gives peace continually.

Friendship: A Thought (3-26-09)

As I have told you I’ve been seeking a prophetic word concerning the timeline of this trial. This is very difficult for me. I have used this gift many times for others successfully but under that situation I am not clouded by personal desires. As I’ve pursued this path it led me to my hope in an unpredictable fashion. I know from all my scriptural training and experience that Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. Why shouldn't He be since He is the I AM of all time and eternity? In the Hebrew language there is a prophetic perfect tense which looks to the future with such confidence that it is spoken of in past tense. Only the word of God, “Thus sayeth the Lord” can justify this tense. It reflects that quality of “Amen” when our hearts are fully committed to trust in the Lord. Psalms 37 is a progressive discourse on a certain man. Not a mighty man as in the Lord but a strong man who has been made tough in his trials. Not a quitter to put it in current cultural terms. This man’s path is made firm, his enemies the Lord cuts off, he commits his burdens over to the Lord. The language lends itself to the picture of a burden placed on a pack animal and being released of the load yourself. Pastor Melissa Scott adds some real wisdom on this thought. Think of the tomb that housed all your sins and death attached to our Lord. The stone sealed the issue. Of course the stone was no hindrance to Christ who passed right through it, but for us it represents the burden that keeps us from the fuller knowledge that comes from revelation. God has the very rock that seems to entomb you rolled away to reveal His resurrection power. Any good view of the empty tomb will make your heart soar. No circumstance can entomb you if you follow the formula of the Psalms 37 man. Though the temptation is to be eaten up, consumed, by the heat of your trial, this man gives it to the Lord. This man delights the Lord. The end of this man is shalom which is for me more than peace. It is peace on many fronts, spirit, body and soul.

As I sought prophetic release I didn’t venture long before it became clear I needed to seek the giver and not the gift. As I sought Him I was led to Samuel which means friend of God. In first Samuel 3 there is a little clue about this man. Even before he knew God and during days of wickedness God was still a lamp in one place. Samuel heard the prophetic perfect tense of God’s voice. This is what I need. I need friendship with God. This is what the Psalms 37 man, the Psalms 84 man, and the bride of Christ are. They delight in their God and God delights in them. They have a unity, a singleness of purpose.

This trial has proven to me who my true friends are and what is true friendship. What a wonderful thing it is to care for a person, to delight in their presence. Do we roll away the stones (burdens) from the lives of our friends revealing the resurrection power of our Lord? Jesus is the light and in Eph. 5:9 there is fruit of this light. That fruit is goodness, righteousness and truth. Light exposes darkness and if one bears the fruit of the Light than you’ll be put in a place of confrontation by the Lord. It is inevitable because the world loves darkness and does not walk in the light. Know them by their fruit was a typical display of cultural Christianity. There is no friendship, no fellowship, no delighting in Christ. They hate themselves and therefore only know judgment. There are many more voices like hers on this blog. If there judgment were correct of me, where is the stone rolling? What I love about Scotty is that He loves Christ. Because He was in the Light the fruit of goodness, righteousness, and truth touched his life. It touched mine also. That is what is behind Dorean. That is why we can’t quit. Do not take from my confidence that things are not bleak. They are bad enough to entomb me for upto 25 years. I stood up against the money changer only to meet the pirates. Our judicial system is pure witchcraft. It is evil men reinforcing wickedness with stare decisis. They all support each other by saying righteousness is lawless, wickedness is good. It is a very hopeless situation where you have to trap them in a lie to escape the ultimate evil they intended for you. This is not a mortal problem but a spiritual one. The heart of this nation has been defiled by humanism and the insignificance of man has led to animalistic misanthropy. There is no friendship left. The Philadelphian church age is a call back to brotherly kindness. For me it is currently Dorean, Prison, a fight for truth. I cannot prevail and I cannot champion your equitable claims. The Psalms 37, 84, man, and the bride can delight though in the Lord and He will cut down the enemy and make sure he never comes back to power. My point is that friendship is called many things today but I say a true friend delights in His friend. I can’t promise you I can prophesy on encouraging word to comfort you in your trial. It is my desire. What I can do is seek our best friend and delight in Him and His ways. Perhaps the spoils of this friendship will leave me rich enough to spoil all of you with the fruit of the Light. In my darkest hours this truth renewed my strength. I hope as your friend God will likewise strengthen you. Shalom is my desire for you. The formula is provided by our very dear friend. I trust Him, how about you? Samuel God’s friend got God but he also got his word. That is the same way I’m seeking this prophetic word. Pray for me please. I want to come to that fuller knowledge for all of our sakes. Resurrection power to you all.

Revolution X (3-21-09)

I end this revolution series with this final thought. I have told you that I am seeking a prophetic word concerning the closing of this battle. My greatest suspicion that I am near the end which in all honesty is truly the beginning is that by revelation I have gained understanding. It has been my experience in my many decades in Christ that understanding always comes at the end of my trials. This running concurrently with the times and seasons of God’s work in the fullness of time makes my vision clear. To this vision I have sought to add the resolute and immutable “thus sayeth the Lord.” I have never used the prophetic gift for myself and had to wrestle with the thought for some time. When I had finished analysing this concept from every reasonable angle I came to this conclusion. Christ is the only prophet I know from Scriptures that prophesied His own future. Really He is the only one to prophesy anyone’s future. He is the spirit of prophecy. He knows my future and can reveal it. Would He was my question. I searched the scriptures and all my understanding to answer this question. Today I say “Yes He will and desires to do so.” Think of the 4 living creatures who are ever present at the throne. Think also that in Christ we are seated in heavenly places. Finally think of the role of the bride in history and now in the fullness of time. Are there secrets in marriage? Yes there always are but in a true love relationship there are no secrets in the area of oneness. The union is honest and constantly revealing. These living creatures had eyes everywhere. In His presence is light, vision, revelation. All is seen in absolute truth. My answer then to know prophetically is not to divine a gift but to seek His presence. In this I will be made holy as He is holy. I will see as I am seen. I will know Him and in knowing Him I will discover how He will be revealed prophetically in my history, in my bride story. More than I truly need to know my future or to know how to fulfill my hope for all of you I need Him and Him alone. He is my future, and my eternal present. It is upon this truth I will receive my prophetic answer. It is upon this truth I was called to enter revolution. It is this truth that brought me in that will bring me out. Oh to know Him to truly know Him who loved me so well. “Lord dwell with me, let me see thy lovely face with its adoring look. Lift me into thy holy presence with thy mighty arm of redemption. Make me a wife fitting Your affections. Cause me to be thy glory and to shine with the brightness of Your truth. In all the darkness that surrounds me make me Your beacon, Your witness. As You come to conquer sin and death now in the fullness of Your time come Lord Jesus and put every enemy under subjection. Finally reveal by Your spirit the end of this battle that we may with knowledge enter the beginning of Your victory. As the heavens declare I declare “You are Holy” make me likewise holy. To you be all glory, honor, and praise forever, Amen!”

Revolution IX (3-20-09)

This revolution is not of the flesh and yet it is to be revealed in the flesh. It is said that for Christ a body was prepared for Him. This body is the bride. His fleshly body was a type of His indwelling ultimately through His bride. The mystery of His marriage and the two becoming one flesh is to vast for our comprehension but not beyond our contemplation. There is a fullness of time for the Son to be revealed. 2000 years ago a woman gave birth. Mary is also a type of the feminine bride. She was set aside as a virgin for God’s work to reveal the Son. As then so it is now. We as the last church age before our taking Labor in the pain of contractions to see His coming. Also we are like His own flesh that had to learn obedience through suffering. For many ages now we have had to learn obedience through suffering, but at the end of the age, like fine wine, we should be savory to our Lord. Obedience should call us to the truth of this revolution. It is a timely truth because the Son is about to appear. The world is getting dark. Like in Egypt it is a darkness that can be felt. The bride though shines in the brightness of His light. When there is an antithesis such as this there must be confrontation. What most of you don’t understand about me is that I am not preparing for this revolution but I’m being prepared by it. I have Christ presence within me. With Him comes absolute truth. No judge or three letter agency can intimidate me away from this truth. No suffering can bring me to betrayal. I need to see the Son appear for my whole being groans in birth pangs. In the fullness of time Christ appeared to reveal His kingdom of flesh in love and in the spirit. Now out of the flesh and the spirit He will be revealed in power. What we call miracle are to be normal for this bride at this revolutionary time. The body of Christ was holy. The spirit of Christ is holy. The bride is likewise to be holy. It is our destiny to sing “holy,holy, holy.” Out of holiness Christ will do His work. His holy bride, His holy flesh, by His holy spirit the Son will be revealed. Those who don’t understand what significance Christ was during His hour upon the Earth cannot fathom how much more potent His work is now. This is not the hour to shrink back in fear. He is near! No liar, no money changer, no plutocrat, no nation, no work of the devil is safe in their darkness. His revealing light is present, active, and shining through His bride. Dorean is just a small example of what faith and obedience will bring. How much more if we all put on the armor of God? Even in this success I still search my heart. We have a holy God and I know to be face to face with Him reveals my wickedness. In Him is my redemption and in His light my darkness becomes light. As I personally revolt against the darkness within me I must face the same in this world. As He has conquered me with Himself He has made me more than a conqueror in this world. He has to do the same for you because of the fullness of time. Come to the revolution where light conquers darkness. And that’s the truth!

Declaration of War (3-10-09)

When, in the course of human events it becomes necessary for ONE person to dissolve the civil, political, and cultural bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to separation.

There are certain truths that remain self-evident that are outside the relativistic imaginations of men. There are undeniable immutable attributes revealed to creation about their Creator attached to commands consistent. To love God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself being a complete summation of human government. All unalienable rights endowed to mankind are freedoms limited to the scope of this form. When men become subject to their carnal nature and assert through the mechanics of despotic power to the detrimental injury of their neighbor they have become lawless even if under the color of law or enlightenment. When righteous men who submit to human government become the targets of persecution by those who claim to be the sentinels of governance, and who suffer evils birthed out of inequity, then prudence requires that truth in love be brought forth into confrontation. Peace and harmony having already been abolished by tyranny must be acknowledge as a righteous cause held out for a future hope under the pains of war.

The war is spiritual in nature. The battlefield being the hearts of men and the soul of a nation. The line of demarcation is drawn between those who submit their wills to governance and those who will subject all wills to governance except their own. It being well said that a prince who can govern himself is truly a King among men. The Creator is not a figment, a fiction but is the God that is there. Because He is there and has spoken to man in propositional verbalization we are bound to obedience or shackled in rebellion. Loyalties and duties assign to the placement of the soul’s flag. His banner shall be over us in love or our banner shall be over others in hate. Today as in Joshua’s day we must declare war on a race in rebellion and within our own hearts say “as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.” Love is all things spoken of in I Corinthians chapter 13 which cannot include conscientious objection when history has set the stage for the war of good verses evil. Love and truth both mandate only one response, to declare war on that which is destroying our neighbor. The commands of God are our battle cry and love and truth are our weapons. Equipt with such a holy mandate we face the frauds of this world and say “I come against you in the power, might, and truth of our Lord Jesus Christ.” If necessary I will fight for the life of my neighbor until the death. For to die is gain and to love God is life. To God be all the glory, honor, and praise, in this day and forever more. AMEN! Signed: KURT JOHNSON

Revolution VIII (3-15-09)

Another gift to this Philadelphian church age is the key of David. David was a man after God’s own heart. This is the key to the bride. Her heart pants after her lover. (Song of Solomon chpt. 3) This world currently is offering a kaleidoscope of seduction wooing men to the beds of adultery in a pantheistic idolatry of the imagination. There is no fraud here for a whore does not behave like an adoring faithful wife and no amount of twisting the meaning of words will cover the heart. Men though they claim otherwise will always have a heart that longs for love and is bruised by betrayal. You and I in the midst of Dorean are making the choice what bed we will lay in. Whether over money, loyalty, culture, morale, law, family we make the choice of the placement of our love and affections. I cannot make the compromising choices I’m accused of without moving further into the seductions of this world. That is why you can know my critics are ignorant liars who have made a different bed than my own. If I was a self centered cheat out for money why did I not behave like Madoff? Why do I continue to challenge your hearts as well as my own? I was not ignorant to the risk of trial. Remember I made it clear to you I had been through the system before in California. Only a retard would not take the 7 year deal unless more was at stake and the choices were more than personal. It is more than personal as to stakes but the choice was personal. I had to choose faithfulness or adultery. I had to choose duty and honor over comfort and accommodation. I had to choose between love and hate. I had to choose sides.

The revolution of truth is upon us and our choice is to be made. Will you recognize the choices you are making identify your loyalties. The world has been brought to the confrontation of truth and the consequences are severe, love, grace and marriage or adultery, betrayal and wrath. Put it off ‘til tomorrow; not possible tomorrow is already here. Whatever bed you make you will lie in and only one is a blissful marriage bed.

Revolution VII (3-15-09)

We have come to a place in world history where words no longer have meaning. Regression into hedonistic freedoms is labeled progressive. The fundamentals of truth are attached to the self-righteous, hard hearted fundamentalist so that they can be ignored. Liberal theology claims to liberate but its liberation is from any mooring that keeps us tethered to our Creator. Enlightenment has brought with it moral darkness. As tragic as this may be I do believe that this was God’s doing. He has allowed men to come to the end of their reason, to that total void of malcontent where they had hoped to find their Xanadu. What Nimrod and his horde at Babel attempted to accomplish in physical form this generation is doing in mental ascent. They have thrown off God and any accountability toward Him with the delusion of enlightenment that holds the propositions that man is inherently good and with advancement in his reasonable education you can rid this world of evil. All of this has long been proven false yet it gets repackaged and reintroduced into culture at varied venues. My experience is the most intelligent, educated, and powerful display the greatest evils. It is at the height of this lie God will reveal His bride, the visible church. It is at the height of this lie that the truth will be boldly proclaimed by the bride. It is at the height of this lie that Christ will return. Yet man even against his fear but subjected to his pride will rise up to fight against the Lord rather than repent and kiss Him. (Psalms 2)

The church age of Philadelphia is given a certain revelation of the Christ, their groom. His is revealed as the Holy and true. These are His attributes that will adorn His bride in this age. We as the visible church will make our stand in this world, in this age, for God’s Holiness and His absolute truth. Put Dorean in this context and you’ll have an answer to the silly question posted here from time to time: “why this religious talk, what’s that got to do with anything?” It has to do with everything. If men were not lost in moralistic relativism we would not have a federal reserve, a duplicitous government, a mortgage fraud crisis, or self-righteous “Christian” critics who accommodate to this culture condemn any who stand for truth against the lying crowds. We would know the meaning of the word “love” instead of using it in varied monikers of self indulgence.

We have come to a line of demarcation, a watershed, where in the closeness of our culture we must make the choices that when coming to their end will leave us worlds apart. This is no easy task for the world will hate you. Your existence reminds them that Christ’s way of redemption is real and that their delusions are hopeless. Will you put on your wedding attire and bring honor to your beloved or compromise to get along. As for me I would rather honor the Groom at the expense of my reputation and 25 years of my life than to be a sellout at the expense of my soul and my individual display of victory, truth, and holiness in the collective testimony to this world of the bride honoring her husband. A thousand times over I accept what Dorean brings without regret. My hope in the potency of my Husband and the significance and timing of His work is that my sacrifice is not vanity. He will make use of my life for His testimony. How about you?

Revolution VI (3-08-09)

This revolution is of the heart and I am a prime example. Today’s world is lost. They have no moral motion from the absolute of God’s holiness. This makes all men absolutely guilty. We are all lost. To comfort themselves philosophers, artists, sociologists, scientists, educators, religious and political leaders have courted men out of their significance and reduced him down to a zero. This did not have the desired effect. Guilty-feelings were medicated but the nag of true guilt continues to hum in the conscience. In this state man has lost all compassion or any justification for it. If man is a zero and there is no moral absolute justice, peace, love all become arbitrary ideas that the democratic mob amalgamate for self-preservation group think like in the book 1984.

Take my critics for a moment. Leave out God’s law and limit truth to their judgments. Nemo claims to be God’s agent. He judges me a crook, a moral failure. To him I am lost. He judges himself as not lost having answers. My “friend” Scott uses words like daggers to show me his compassion. To him I am lost, he is not, and he has the answers. What are their answers? I am to be like them. They don’t offer me Christ or know of His love. They will be judged by their own judgement. Even with this lower standard they will be guilty. That is absolute. They don’t see the lost and their significance to God because they are blind to their own lostness.

Here’s what God did in me. Though most of my clients are ignorant to the moral absolutes that required me to take a stand against the lostness being asserted through the bankers and the mortgage industry, I being informed of the absolutes had to act. When all hell broke loose upon me for the stand I took I had to remain standing. The reason this is so even at a huge personal cost is that I view each of you as significant. Regardless of your ignorance or your betrayals your lostness moves me to compassion. This is not a personal boast because I want to make it clear that in my lostness I personally desired self-comfort. But the absolutes of God gave me a vision outside myself, an infinite point of reference that gave the picture I was seeing perspective. The revelation of my lostness having a hope axiomatically transferred into a hope for all of you. Am I condemning you in your lostness through the comparison of my ability to know the answers? No I have not left my-kind, humanity, as some superhuman. My significance, God’s absolutes, and His hope through redemption to remain just and to love without reducing man or Himself down to a zero is a shared hope for all of us in our lostness. This love borne out from my heart for you is His. Only with His strength can I withstand the suffering I’ve had to bare to remain a voice of truth. Only because God has revealed His moral absolutes and man’s personal significance can I become bigger than our lostness. I love you as my neighbor. I love myself enough not to live a lie, and I love God because He has loved us all in our lostness with the absolute of His integrity intact. He is bigger than all the lostness of mankind which makes Him bigger than our enemies who wish to use wicked force to assert their lies. My hope is yours and my life is yours and our fight and truth is bigger and more important than the money or evil of the battle. To God be the glory forever. AMEN!

Proclamation Against The FBI (3-8-09)

What I have against you is that each and every agent I have been exposed to lacks a moral compass set to truth. Moral motion in any direction other than the true infinite absolute is amorality. You have orders to follow which you use to assuage your guilty-feelings without any concern for your true guilt before righteousness. Though most of you have shown an above average intellect you behave like morons. Without a true moral compass any wind of doctrine can change your coarse. You may be trained for certain battle scenarios yet individually you are supreme cowards. The personal cost for truth in a world of liars you can never brave. You can never embarrass the Bureau but shamelessly embarrass yourselves. Do you so easily deceive yourselves that a paycheck or the honors of amoral men will be a successful advocate to avoid the righteous judgment of our Creator? How can you become a cog in the machine without the personal loss of your significance as an individual free moral agent? I can’t fear you or your wicked moral choices. As God Himself laughs at the folly of men who think force will make wrong right I also laugh. I have known the Lord of All for a very long time and within my personal history and the history of all mankind I have seen Him destroy the arrogant in their pride. So keep attacking me with all you have which was robbed of its significance long ago by the choice that initiated your behaviour and I will call on my compass set to true morality to navigate through every trap you can lay. Since you’re still reading this blog!

Revolution V (3-8-09)

This revolution will effect all men. It is bigger than a race or nation. On two major fronts it will be fought. The truth will be displayed to the man without knowledge of the word of God. This is the man of Romans 1-2. The other front will be those who claim a knowledge of the scriptures and of the God who declared them. In each case it will be the bride of Christ that is used as the vehicle of the truth. Many will think that the bride is like a tool in the hand of a Master craftsman that is not a part of him but a vehicle of his expression. This is not the case with the bride. The bride is Christ in the truest sense of the word. It is Christ chosen expression of Himself at this time. In the same way He reduced Himself into humanity by putting on a tent of flesh He is limiting Himself to His bride. Not like a tool but like a wife. The two shall become one flesh. Though they each entered into the relationship individually that has now been lost into a new creation. Christ says that to be in Him He must be in us. This oneness is a true, though not complete, expression of our creator. To the world without the word it is the invisible attributes of God made manifest in the visible church. To the man with the word it is the invisible church being made manifest into flesh. To both it is truth. To the questioning world in despair the answer to the significance of man and the purpose of historical existence . To the church (loosely) the truth that there is no fraud in the marriage bed. That only faithfulness is tolerated in this relationship. To both a cross of hope or judgment. This revolution is upon us like it or not.

The Painful Truth (3-12-09)

Most people of my generation have now equated kind words, well wishing, and accommodation as truth. An absolute desire for comfort, pleasure, and peace has stolen real truth away from us. Real truth has to be executed by real love. Even if the one speaking it is not fond of the hearer if he loves himself he will remain honest. Pain comes with truth but the wounds are not the detrimental kind but like the ones made by a surgeon for healing.

Recently the FBI, still in search of my money, stole my phase one web page. I brought this on myself by communicating too much information over this blog. I know better from a tactical point of view but I feel obligated to communicate with you the best I can the truth of the situation. Here is an example where truth can be painful. Have I hurt you with further delays because I wanted to encourage you to hang in there during the fight? I may have but are we certain you would have stayed in the battle with ignorance? Also we must concede God is in control of the timing and of the hearts of the enemies of righteousness. He steers them like a river. Those who ridicule and are absent truth or love continue to chide me with “just 90 more days” or “how many times have we been told to get ready.” Its funny to me how those who sit on the sidelines are such experts about the games they observe. Call it armchair quarter backing or any equivalent and that is their substance. I have revelation about the end of this battle and spiritual guidance on how to persevere in trial but this is not like the psychic who feeds you what you want to hear. I am not promising you in 90 days I will be victorious. I am living to keep my covenants with you though all hell has come against me. Most of my critics if they were honest would puss-out long ago. Their word and integrity are not more important to them than their comfort. Isn’t that what an armchair is all about? There is a sea of lies engulfing Scott and I, the Dorean process, the mortgage industry, and this government, but Jesus has calmed the sea before. In fact His question at the time was “where is your faith?” Faith will calm this sea and ultimately truth will prevail. There in a lot of pain in this process but in the end those who did not waiver will have a special joy of vindication. When the truth is known I want to be known and remembered for it.

Revolution IV (3-7-09)

If one will study the nature of all my conflicts whether with Mr. Alsup, the banks, the clients, the critics, and the BOP it all comes down to my stand for truth. If you are at all familiar with the scriptures you will see every prophet or saint who stood for truth against a culture of lies was met with conflict and suffering. This is such a truth that it could be said that if you are not in conflict you are not in battle. Our founding fathers ultimately got to enjoy victory but most had to pay a high price to arrive there. Somehow history always will call into examination your courage or cowardice. Truth will always offend a culture bent on fraud. A culture bent on fraud is an effect of leaders long since sold out to fraud. This means those in power who benefit from the fraud will put on the hat of a tyrant and with fear bring the crowd with force. A fortitude of conviction will be the only thing they cannot overcome. If your convictions do not have the surety of eternal absolutes anchored to the unchanging attributes of God what will you stand upon when the ruthless world is against you?

The revolution 200+ years ago was an impossible task but because of divine providence success was assured and a fledgling nation was born. God’s providence is just as assured in our day. If you know of God as faithful your confidence cannot be vanity. Faith is an action word that will respond to God’s words of promise that make His providence clear for our day. Faith is a gift most often triggered by the word of God that most likely will be absent understanding. This does not mean a blind faith because the word of God is trustworthy. What it does mean is that the surety of the trustworthy word is sound enough to take a step without full knowledge of the path. For those who want reason to give them every assurance of probability before action this faith is nothing short of risk. My question though is if God gives you the faith and the word to initiate is it really a risk? The answer to this question will come from your knowledge of the God who verbalizes propositionally. The reason you have never seen me shrink back from the escalation assault upon my stand for truth is because real truth cannot be defeated by the lie. Fortitude and truth is a weapon wielded with strength and purpose.

Revolution III (3-5-09)

There are a couple of streams of prophecy to consider when trying to understand God’s current work. First there is the Israelite National stream and second there is the church as a bride. When Israel, speaking of the Northern tribes, was taken into captivity they were to be punished for 7 times according to Leviticus. That was 2520 years. This season ended with the signing of the Constitution in Philadelphia. The migration of the tribes and the forming of the western Christian nations is a subject worth study if you are ignorant of God’s control over history. There are many clues of why our nation is a product of promise. I will leave the large quantity of proof for debate another time outside this revolution discussion. The promises to Manasseh are fulfilled by the founding of this nation. Though God is very much about the perfection of His bride it is not at the expense of His promises to national Israel. If one reads the books of the prophets both major and minor the theme of rebellion – punishment – vanquishing – loss of identity – restoration – and relationship is clear. This stream is not in conflict at all with Christ work with His body. In fact when one is studied in both their symbiosis only confirms God’s control of history. In type of God’s work with this nation Hezekiah's son Manasseh was evil, punished, and restored. Manasseh the King is a shadow of Manasseh the tribe nation. This nation having lost its soul these last 3 generation has set the stage for God’s coming restoration as a side effect of His bride being glorified. The economic troubles have a two-fold benefit. One in that they humble a nation arrogant in its sin and two that out of suffering the liars will lie more and the people will become malcontent with the lie and the liars. This is an opening of the heart and eyes at the time a bride is loved and glorified. Though most will still hate God they will not lack a true witness and answer to their despair. We are being prepared by God both nationally and spiritually for a revolution of truth. Are you tired of living under the father of lies? If so what sacrifice are you willing to make for truth? Most want the status quo without change but the status quo is changing to be uncomfortable. When eagle chicks are ready to fly mom makes the nest uncomfortable. God is doing the same for this American Eagle. It’s time to Fly or die.
