The Magician’s Greatest Trick – By Thomas Koester

The destruction is always in the distraction.

The goal of any magician is to get you to focus so closely on their distraction that you will be oblivious to their sleight of hand.

Even though our eyes were focused and wide open during the show, we’re left with the feeling of bewilderment and amazement. The sleight of hand was, therefore, successful.

Sadly, we, the American people, or, at least 50% of us, have been thoroughly duped during the early morning hours of November 4, 2020. If the election results were indeed the greatest magician’s trick of all times, then one must ask the serious questions, for what purpose, and to what end?

Since November of 2020, there has been one trick after another. Every single trick was deployed to cover the grand magician’s masterful illusion of the disappearing of millions of votes.

What does this mean? It means that we are in a police state. It may not look like North Korea, but we’re there, the past 3 years were a dress rehearsal. The world in which you see, hear, taste, and feel is mostly a charade. All these crises in the news, they were planned, produced, directed, and well acted.

Their next act is to make assault [all] weapons to disappear. If they can make millions of votes disappear can they not do the same with our weapons?

Is your 401K vanishing? How about affordable groceries, are they too disappearing? How about baby formula?  Affordable fuel? The tricks just keep coming, folks.

In just six months, Twenty-four food processing plants throughout the country, poof, gone up in a puff of smoke!

Heck, even eggs are disappearing!

“A late-night fire on May 29, 2022, at a commercial egg farm likely left thousands of chickens dead Saturday night near Cokato, Minnesota. Two hundred thousand dead chickens were discovered inside the burned structure. This plant produced 3 million eggs per day.”

Hey, but don’t worry, Ole Uncle Joe said, “were in the best economic recovery in forty years.” “Come on man, inflation is Putin’s fault.”

Everything on the TV, Cable, and Social Media is nothing more than a ruse. We should be more focused on what’s not being said than what “they” are saying.

What is emerging from behind the their evil show’s curtain is hideous and sinister, beyond imagination. Now we’re beginning to see just how deep this network of social, political control, and espionage has gone.

The Globalist has been organizing itself and now is in position, fully manned and fully armed. They know who the dissenters and the detractors are; they know their targets. It is not Islamic Terrorists but the average conservative patriot, who is now, by their definition, “The New Domestic Terrorist.” Yep, even well-informed parents are considered domestic terrorists!

They are begging for the American people to rise up, so they can blame the True Freedom and Liberty loving people for the burning of our once Great Republic.

I agree with the late Rush Limbaugh, the Coup de ta has already taken place and we’ve lost complete control of [our] government and all media outlets. Our children’s schools have already become re-education day camps. Our treasury has already been taken over by madmen and madwomen. Our major corporations have joined the Leftist Elites. Every sector of our federal bureaucrat agencies has become espionage outposts for this regime and administration.

The most private and personal issue of every citizen, legal or not, is our health care, and this has been placed in care, custody and control of the same Federal Government and enforced by the IRS. Had we all not acted like sheep, we wouldn’t be in this terrible mess!

So, stop thinking that our President is just a clumsy oldman and our Vice President, just a ditsy, unqualified woman. They are exactly as they were chosen to be. They are simply placeholders. For the moment, these two nitwits are the coverband playing the Left’s repertoire of greatest failed hits.

They’ll keep it up until large enough sector of the populace rises up so they can bring down the top. Then their revolution will begin.

For the Christian, your time of testing is about to begin.

For the Atheist, your time of believing in God is about to arrive.

To the Unbeliever, your time of doubting will soon be over.

The Liberal is about to become Conservative.

The Uninformed Voter is about to become informed.

The Socialists will soon be dancing in the streets.

The Communists will soon begin their kidnappings and arrests.

And the regime will kill many of us, especially the useful idiots, the fools, which promoted and pontificated their agenda in our schools, colleges, universities, local governments, and news media agencies.

The many must be executed until all those left are the feeble of mind and weak of heart.

This is not new – it’s happened repeatedly throughout history. But you don’t know this because you were too focused on the magician’s distraction…

…and now, you’re dead!

WAKE UP!

A Living Body or The Tired Minister – By Thomas J. Koester

“Here lies a faithful parishioner that never missed a Sunday morning service.”

Matthew 18:19-20

Amplified Bible

“Again I say to you, that if two believers on earth agree [that is, are of one mind, in harmony] about anything that they ask [within the will of God], it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in My name [meeting together as My followers], I am there among them.”

When the Church comes together in perfect unity, we form an abode or a habitation for the presence of God. It is our connecting and unity that creates the Church and not a building. What fills the Church is, therefore, not sinners but saints. Each is filled with the Holy Spirit and the likeness of Christ. We know we have achieved this when we have unconditional love for one another and respect and honor for those who are our servant-leaders.

This is not about the perfection of both the saints and those who lead. It’s about perfect love and devotion to Christ and his teaching. When we are devoted to Christ and his ways, grace, mercy, and love prevails. When we focus on the failings of one another, and especially those who must give an account to the Lord for their servant-leadership, there is no abiding presence of God. Unity is thwarted, the glory of God departs, and we simply become a building of brick and mortar.

Christ will not fill a building, no matter how pretty or architecturally pleasing it may be. He fills his people and, in a special way, when they gather in unity of faith, love, and sound teaching.

When we have unconditional love and forgiveness towards one another, and when we honor those in authority over us who must give an account to God, Christ dwells in our midst. Even when our gatherings are as few as two or three and have no building to gather in—we are the Church.

The concept and identity of the Church, which, by the way, is living and active, is not summed up by Sunday services. The reason why Christ said, “where two or three are gathered in my name there am I in their midst,” is not meant to be concealed by a building or regulated by a 90 minute service, but to become a mobile spiritual habitation of the glorious presence of God. Therefore, we are to be missional, just as Christ was during his earthly ministry. Right? Jesus didn’t set up shop at some local corner with a sign on the window, advertising, “open for business.” No! He went to where people gathered!

Stop “going” to Church and become the Church! Start loving, honoring, and preferring one another. Keep forgiving and loving one another as Christ has forgiven and loved you. Serve one another, as actually serving the Lord Jesus Christ. Do everything out of love and respect for the Lord. Devote yourselves to studying and reading the scriptures and practicing the presence of God within your own hearts and souls so that you may become a whole and a holy people when you gather. When the world sees your love for one another, they will believe your message!

Ministry is not meant for the minister. Rather, ministers are to teach the Church to minister first to one another and then to the world. Our individual and corporate maturity depends on each person operating in the spiritual gift given them by the Holy Spirit. The gifts given by Christ to the Church are offices, such as apostles, prophets, pastors, evangelists, and teachers. These offices are to train and equip the Church to do the work of ministry.

The officers are not meant to do all the work but to empower the church to carry out the work of ministry so that we all may reach maturity. An immature Church is one who produces spectators, which only increase from transient, church hopping attendees that are only devoted to themselves, and introverted church programs.

To the immature church, tithes, gifts, and offerings are only needed for self-sufficiency and to sustain the ministry strictly for the ministered. The tragic reality is that many churches simply send 10% of their revenue from tithes to missionaries rather than sending out people on a mission. Jesus Christ didn’t die to create token churches. Churches are not meant to become cemeteries of dead saints, scattered in the landscape, or sitting in church pews disengaged from ministry.

Did you know that recent studies have shown that sitting is more deadlier than smoking? Sitting around as Christians and as a church community is deadly to our testimony and our future glory.

An alive church is one that reproduces apostles, prophets, pastors, evangelists, and teachers. An alive church recognizes the expansion of the Kingdom of Heaven rather than the expansion of their sanctuaries. The alive Church sends people out and evangelizes new converts to take their place.

Time, talent, and treasure are outwardly focused on inwardly spirit-filled saints, gathered with an outward, unified conscience of obedience, and a call to “mission impossible,” rather than a mission for dead saints.

Letters in Red (said by Jesus): “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there in the midst of them.” – Matthew 18:18-20 (NKJV)

Become alive in Christ. Live life to the fullest in Christ. Aid and pray for your pastors. Pastors, train your congregations, and do not just preach at them.

Could you imagine if all churches became equipping, training, and sending churches?

I think Christ died outside the Temple, so the entire world would see his atonement and would know of his sacrifice.

I think Jesus wants the whole world to see his Church, also outside the Temple, outside of brick and mortar buildings, so all the world would see and know of his love.

We must become more than a location, more than a building on East 3rd and West. 4th Street. We must become a living body.

If not an active and living body, we’ll become nothing more and a pretty building with a tired minister of perpetual ministering to over-ministered people with no mission; landscaped with clusters of graves and headstones. The epitaphs will read:

“Here lies a faithful parishioner that never missed a Sunday morning service.”

That sounds a little, like the servant, who buried his master’s talent into the earth because he was afraid and so risked nothing. Matthew 25:14-30

Be a living body and not a tired old minister preaching to the chior.

God Reveals Himself In Our Suffering – By Thomas Koester

Sift through the things you are suffering, look for the nuggets of God’s presence

In the past, I have endured long days and even longer nights during physical and mental pain. I have written more and have done a great deal of editing on articles that I’ve written about pain and suffering. Each time I do, more memories and tears bubble up. But these are good tears because what was once tragic and painful is now becoming more of a blessing.

So, I’ve added more stories and more insight. It’s been the moments of reflection and remembering, coupled with new clarity, revealing the fingerprints and mastery of a loving Father-Hearted God. He took all my days of good and evil and is progressively revealing his artistry through all of it.

His color palette contains far more colors than “black and white,” which many cold and lifeless religions preach. He is an unlimited God, with colors of an eternal spectrum, yet to be discovered, and He’s a deeply intimate God, motivated with an ever-expanding Father-heart. His heart is filled with grace and wisdom. His love utterly humbles me, and, if you can believe it, speechless at His unconditional Grace and Mercy towards even a guy like me.

Thank you all for your prayers and kindness during my times of pain and suffering. I genuinely hope and pray that whatever you may be battling or struggling through that it too is woven into something beautiful, no matter how difficult or painful it may be. The more difficult your life may be — the more impossible for a solution or cure, the more grace will appear; for our God loves, absolutely loves to come through!

So then, in our weaknesses and fragility, we can boast all the more about God’s grace and that we’re co-siblings with The Great Overcomer, Jesus Christ. We are children of The Father-hearted God. We are vastly wealthy and greatly loved!

“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” – 1 Thess 5:18.

So, notify your soul and your face too and show the world how great our God is, everywhere; from our sick beds to our busy offices and lives; from our living rooms to the dressing rooms of Macy’s and Kohl’s; in every shopping line, and especially at Walmart, For our God is a great God! He is worthy of our praise in all circumstances.

Just like panning for gold, sifting through sand and pebbles, sift through the things you are suffering, look for the nuggets of God’s presence during your pain and suffering. He is near the brokenhearted, the imprisoned, the poor, and those held in captivity.

He was with Betsie and Corrie ten Boom.

Betsie and Corrie ten Boom spent time in notorious Ravensbrück Concentration Camp north of Berlin for hiding Jews in their home during the Nazi occupation of Holland.

One of their greatest discoveries during their captivity was their thankfulness for the horrid flea infestation inside their barracks and in their bunks. God sent the fleas to keep out their Nazi oppressors, keeping them all safe from rape and torture.

God will reveal himself during our infamous days of suffering. Just like he did for Betsie and Corrie. We just need to train our minds and hearts on Him, just like a gold-panner, searching for the elusive nugget.

I can promise you this; His presence is more precious than gold, and he isn’t hidden or elusive; he wants to be found.

A Dire Warning to All People – How to Win The Psychological War – By Thomas Koester

We must win this war!

There is no hiding the fact that ideological tyrants, hidden in the shadows, are presently ruling us. In time, the ideology will become incarnate and transform from a mere ideology into physical brute force to bring about an all-out subjugation (enslavement) of all people; of all color, race, and creed.

Your political persuasion and allegiance won’t save you. The tyrants use everybody and everything to achieve their goals. Democrat or Republican; Left or Right, Black or White, Gay or Straight, we’re all used as a clever mechanism, a tool to divide and separate us into tribes and factions. Pitting us against each other rather than us being united against them.

They’ve created division and then used our manufactured hatred for each other as political cover. What utter and detestable evil these tyrants are. These evil dark lords waited patiently, decade after decade, using a slow but steady process of mind-control. They excel in progressivism in order to achieve a regressive people, and therefore a controllable society.

In other words, while we were amused, entertained, and otherwise politically manipulated, our minds were enslaved, and it’s simply a matter of time before our bodies willingly join our mind’s captivity.

You cannot enslave the body without first enslaving the mind. And, the mind can become enslaved without your body’s awareness and approval. This is what’s been happening politically, culturally, and socially; through our schools, through our entertainment, through our government, and all forms of secular and social media.

The “smartphone” is one of the single most destructive instruments created that has enslaved our minds, bodies, and souls all simultaneously and at an exponential rate of speed.

Technological advancements have become vital instruments of mind, emotional, and will control. We are nothing more than algorithms to be weighed, measured, and then exploited for our energy and money. Our blood, sweat, and tears have built them their edifices and their high towers to rule us rather than serve us.

In our consumeristic stupor, we blindly created and elected an army of Frankensteins, poised and programmed to destroy us by dismantling, word-by-word, clause-by-clause, and article-by-article, the precious Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Political madmen are bringing about America’s downfall by injecting cultural pollution and dark, sick psychological pathogens into our churches, homes, schools, and workplaces with these technology-based tools.

How do you escape mind and thought control?

We must. turn off all technological portals, whereby tyrannical ideologies and cultural corruption are pouring into our minds. We must turn off the MSM in all its various forms.

A dire warning to all believers:

Unchecked sin and the surrender of your mind, will, and emotions to evil leads to inward and outward devastation. The Enemy knows this exceptionally well.

Genesis 4:6-7

The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why do you look so resentful? If you do the right thing, won’t you be accepted? But if you don’t do the right thing, sin will be waiting at the door, ready to strike! It will entice you, but you must rule over it.”

Remove the welcome mat of sin and moral compromise, and so rule over sin rather than it controlling you.

Our only escape from the ideological tyrants is to walk in the Light and stay in the Truth of God’s Word and his promises. Turn off the technological grid and turn your heart, body, mind, and soul towards God. Upload your thoughts and prayers to God so that you may download wisdom and peace from Heaven.

This way, you can escape the mind control of the ideological tyrants in the Whitehouse and live free in your house.

War is upon you, and it first must win the battle for your mind. Don’t let it. Fight!

If your mind goes, your body will follow. The body cannot live without wisdom, reason, and common sense.

The Gospel of the Kingdom must be proclaimed throughout the world as a testimony to all nations… Matthew 24:14

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the antidote; it will inoculate your body, soul, and mind from the Enemy’s lies and the constant bombardment of distortion and confusion.

You must understand that your faith in God’s ability and in His Truths can defy man’s rules, his ways, his religion, and his politics, and therefore, man’s control over your mind.

Free your mind from the Tyrants and his political control and dependence.

Wake up; it may be already too late!

The Miraculous Power of Pain & Suffering – By Thomas Koester

When I get strong, I get lost. When I get busy, I get independent. When I get successful, I get lonely.

I was down and out, from October 11th, 2013 through mid January, 2014. Life had been hard and painful, but God has never been closer than he’s been with me through those difficult months. I’ll tell you, my dear friends, I’d rather be laid up and laid out with God by my side than lonely, but successful in the world any day.

I had gotten to the point in my suffering that I began to thank God for my injuries and sicknesses. I began to see the blessings and the beautiful breaking to my stubborn heart, and the fresh and living water flooding into my dry soul. My pain in a miraculous way allowed God’s voice to become magnified and the whispers of, “I love you son,” filled my troubled mind in those long and dark, painful nights.

I truly want God, but he’s not necessarily in my busyness, nor is he in my business. He’s not in my self imposed deadlines, or in the deadlines of others, which weary my body and mind, and cause me to strain and to force my goals above Gods’. He’s not in the coulda, woulda or shoulda’s, nor is he in my goals of independence and worldly success. God is definitely not in my confused tantrums, my sulking, or complaining.

God is in the midst of suffering; he’s nearby the crushed and the weary; the sick and the lonely. Our God is with the widowed; he’s with the fatherless and alien. He hears the cries and prayers of the broken, the injured and the weak.

“He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle.” Isaiah 42:3 (NLT)

When I get strong, I get lost. When I get busy, I get independent. When I get successful, I get lonely.

I want God, and therefore I welcome the pain and suffering, so that I might gain all that he has for me through it. This is the process that can get us found in God, which can makes us strong in the right things and focused on eternal values, which can bring contentment during our seasons of affliction.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not looking for pain and suffering, only that when it comes, the goodness and presence of God is magnified through it, and therefore, I can revel in it and celebrate because of it. Through it, I have learned that our greatest changes can result from what we suffer. Pain and suffering are powerful for our good!

So, while my body was aching and writhing in pain and anguish, my soul was soaring with God. I worshiped God and thanked him through so much of my illnesses and injuries. The pain still lingers and the scar, which I now bare on my left leg and knee will always remind me of God’s faithfulness to me all the way through it.

And so, I thank God for all of it.

A few weeks ago, I was complaining to my wife, Toni about a difficult client. I was through and ready to cut the relationship and take a significant loss just to get out of the misery.

Then, Toni pulled the “Book of Job” on me:

“Has not God provided through this person?” she said, and then continued: “Shall we curse the very provision because it comes with difficulty?”

Wow! I was called out and convicted. Thank you Toni!

I had set aside, not only heaven’s provision for me, but I had set aside God’s provision of grace and mercy towards the one whom God setup to bring such needed financial provision.

“Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not also receive evil?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips. Job 2:10

I am not deformed, but I am being transformed. The more we complain and lay blame, the slower our remaking through our braking goes. In my recent story with my client, God used my wife to get me back on track and with God’s program.

Our complaining always works against God’s transforming work, and so we fail to see how God masters evil for our good. Our complaining and blaming causes us to only see the badness of evil, rather the goodness of God in spite of it and His creative use with it.

“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I The Lord do all these things.” ERV

Ha, I’ve not heard that verse preached in Church!

So, if God masters light, darkness, peace and evil, how can we be destroyed in the day of pain, sickness and disease? How can we lose if what we fear cannot keep us from winning? How then shall we live, if even evil and the day of disaster is under the control of such a loving and caring Heavenly Father?

I’ll tell ya how we should then live — In Total Victory and with an Overcomer’s Spirit!

Hey, there’s power in what we suffer, no matter how miserable or deadly! But ya gotta put away the complaining and start the thanksgiving and praising.

I was just a young teenager of 14 years old, when I got a hold of a book titled: “By What Standard” By Dr. Rousas John Rushdoony, the father of Mark Rushdoony.

Like the late Dr. Rushdoony, the life and story of Job set the standard of who God is and His power over evil. Page 185 through page 205 of By What Standard, is what impacted me most, in my life as a boy of 14. The Book of Job established my foundation for all my understanding of the ways of God and the ability of God. The Book of Job became my standard of biblical understanding and godly comfort.

Like Job, it is blind faith and trust in the Almighty, whereby God shall succeed in spite of our lack of understanding and even confusion. Our suffering is not the end of the means, but the means to an end, forewhich Satan’s must comply to God’s will over our lives and our wellbeing.

So, the key is to invest all of your faith and trust into God’s will and pain and suffering will become allies to your transformation and glorification.

Hebrews 2:10 (NIV)
“In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.”

Was it not God who invited Satan to consider His servant Job?

Did not God establish the boundaries after he invited Satan to afflict Job?

(Job, chapters one and two).

God masterfully controlled darkness, sickness and disease over His servant Job, but He also displayed His power over the Prince of Darkness.

The Book of Job reveals how Satan must obey the very boundaries that God sets up, leaving Satan and all evil under the power of the God of the Universe and Creator of all things. And yes, including all angelic beings, and even those who’ve failed at the Heavenly coup d’état of God’s throne and power, and dare I say, they failed miserably!

Genesis 4:6-7
God spoke to Cain:”Why this tantrum? Why the sulking? If you do well, won’t you be accepted? And if you don’t do well, sin is lying in wait for you, ready to pounce; it’s out to get you, you’ve got to master it.”

We can master sin because God has mastered evil, and his Son, Jesus Christ has vanquished our sin, he destroyed death and conquered the grave! But tantrums and sulking leaves you vulnerable, and instead of victory you’ll end in defeat.

So, we can thrive in pain and suffering, in loss and betrayal, and evil shall not destroy us. Evil becomes a weapon in the hand of God, disarming our enemy and thwarting evil’s plan for our destruction.

Do you want to disarm the Evil One? Then praise God in the midst of all that hell has unleashed and bask in the suffering with thanksgiving. Trust fully in the God who knows what He is doing and the limits for which evil must obey.

Can we lose?

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Romans 8:37 ESV

Put your faith and trust in God and become transformed and not deformed by all that you suffer.

Your pain may be your breakthrough into victory and validation that you are a true son or daughter and not a victim.

As a victor, you too will see The Miraculous Power of Pain and Suffering.

Pawns or Patriots – By Thomas Koester

Q-Anon’ Bears Striking Resemblance to Bolshevik Psy-Op from the 1920s Known As

‘Operation Trust’

“Operation Trust” was a Bolshevik counterintelligence operation run from 1921 to 1926 aimed at neutralizing opposition by creating the false impression that a powerful group of military leaders had organized to stop the communists’ takeover.

This type of Psy-Op causes confusion and difficulty to determine fact from fantasy.

I listened to an interview with Q-Anon people this morning describing the history and background of Q. They shared their belief in God, their disbelief in a Jewish race and Nation, as well as their disbelief in the biblical and historical Jesus Christ. They also made some wildly outlandish claims about Tom Hanks being arrested and executed, along with many other well-known figures. Many, if not all serous Q-Anon believers are Numerologists.

Q-Anon asserts that Hanks and hundreds of well known and powerful figureheads take a human substance known as adrenochrome. I cannot say anything more here about this substance, but if interested and have a strong stomach, you can research it.

I believe that Q-Anon is an anti-Semitic group of conspiracy theorists that unfortunately has been sourced by many Christians and conservative leaders. Q-Anon does not believe that there ever was a Jewish people or race. While they say they believe in God, they openly deny the divinity of Jesus Christ and believe him to be a made-up historical figure.

I believe, and I hope I’m incorrect, but Main Stream Media (MSM) and Q may be on the same team. MSM promotes disinformation and Q promotes misinformation. Both are needed in psychological and propaganda warfare, and together may be an axis of evil.

How can we trust Q, or Q-Anon in anything they say, when they are admittedly anti-Christ? We, believers, are to test the spirits to see if they are of God. 1 John 4:1

We are to stay clear of any spirit or person(s) that denies that Jesus Christ came in human form.

“And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ comes in flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of Antichrist, of which you have heard that it should come, and now is already in the world.” 1 John 4:3

Please, use spiritual discernment and make sure what you hear lines up with the Holy Scriptures.

Our trust must be in God and not man. There is only one God, and one Savior, Jesus Christ. Only God, through Jesus Christ, can save a soul from hell and a nation from destruction.

I understand people’s desire to know what’s coming. But it is this unquenchable desire that has opened us up to misinformation, and to become Pawns rather than Patriots.

Jesus Hired Fishermen And The Church Hires Celebrities – The 21st Century Impotent Church – By Thomas Koester

I think what has actually occurred these past few years is that God has pulled back the curtains. He has done this to show us all how evil our Nation has become, and how perverse our political and corporate leaders actually are on both sides of the political spectrum. God has shined the light on you and me too, to convict us of our own personal wickedness and unfaithfulness.

We should not expect God to bless America until we turn from our personal, corporate, and national sins.

What can the Righteous do when it’s the “Righteous” that are practicing unrighteousness?

It is not the unbeliever or the pagan that is to set the moral standard, but the believer. When a nation loses its moral standing, it is not the fault of unbelievers, NO! We, God’s people, bear the responsibility before God and the country.

The Church has failed to honor Jesus’ Great Commission. It’s the Gospel of the Kingdom, which changes the hearts of men and women, and which preserves a nation. The prosperity gospel, “Christian fads,” Christian this, and Christian that, heavenizing everything we touch is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That’s conformity to the world standards, and unfaithfulness to Christ Jesus, which has neutralized and besmirched our testimony and witness.

We were supposed to take on the same attitude and humility of Christ Jesus. We were supposed to do the good deeds of Jesus, and even surpass them because he has gone to the Father. We were supposed to be filled with the Holy Spirit and empowered with God’s grace to move mountains and to bring Good News. But instead, we built buildings and hid behind walls and stained glass windows.

Jesus hired fishermen, and the Church hires celebrities and the mighty. We’ve become the Church Impotent of the 21st Century. Let me repeat that:

We have become the Church Impotent, not the Church Important of the 21st Century. If we had been the Important Church, our culture, society, and politics would be reflective of righteousness, fairness, and justice.

Amos 5:23-27

23-27 “I can’t stand your religious meetings.
I’m fed up with your conferences and conventions. I want nothing to do with your religion projects, your pretentious slogans, and goals. I’m sick of your fundraising schemes, your public relations, and image-making.


I’ve had all I can take of your noisy ego-music. When was the last time you sang to me?
Do you know what I want?
I want justice—oceans of it.
I want fairness—rivers of it.
That’s what I want. That’s all I want.”

Didn’t you, dear family of Israel, worship me faithfully for forty years in the wilderness, bringing the sacrifices and offerings I commanded? How is it you’ve stooped to dragging gimcrack statues of your so-called rulers around, hauling the cheap images of all your star-gods here and there? Since you like them so much, you can take them with you when I drive you into exile beyond Damascus.” God’s Message, God-of-the-Angel-Armies.”

Do you see what happens when we make our Kings our idols [president], and Hollywood type stars our religious gods [pastors, prophets, and priests]?

Tens of thousands of people, families, and businesses have left oppressive governors and states. To where will you go under a Biden/Harris administration? Beyond Damascus?

We have long since abdicated our religious duties and responsibilities to the State, and the State has willingly taken the place of the Church in society.

Authority in a vacuum is always replaced with another authority. In this case, the “New Authority” will not rule according to the Church’s values or ethics. We gave it up willingly for a 501-C3 tax break!

Judgment always begins with the House of God. And, my dear brothers and sisters, this is not the kind of judgment that a rapture will save you from. We did this, and it’s our robes which we have soiled.

Prepare for a season of purification and trials. Not to destroy us, but to bring us back to God that we may take our place in this age and the age to come. That we may once again be the Light and Salt of the earth. That we may preach the true Gospel of the Kingdom, which is actually the real Good News, which the world needs and yearns for. That we may make true disciples.

Turn back to God Churchgoer. Repent Pastor, prophet, and priest. Pour out your lament for yours and our sins. Put ash upon our own heads, and pray that God will grant all of us contrite hearts and godly repentance.

The Rise of Fakers & Thieves vs The People of Faith & Freedom -By Thomas Koester

“If our God, whom we honor, can save us from a blazing furnace and from your power, he will, Your Majesty. But if he doesn’t, you should know, Your Majesty, we’ll never honor your gods or worship the gold statue that you set up.” Daniel 3:17-18

Let this New Year be a year whereby all believers everywhere honor God and His Word. We must resist men who threaten to seize control over our lives and who are progressively replacing the God in whom we worship, with false gods and ideologies increasingly infesting our sacred institutions.

We will never bow to a false president, nor accept fraudulent elections. We will not honor any decrees which dishonors God or the sanctity of life. We will never worship government or live by every word from the mouth of Washington DC.

We refuse to listen to fakers and thieves, whether in Church or government.

So, even if our God delays, our most sincere prayers and longing for a New Heaven and a New Earth, we’ll never honor false gods, or fake news broadcasts, nor will we honor their czar-gods, or worship “the golden programing” they continue to force us to watch.

Why? Because the Church will be too busy caring for the lost and reaching them in the four corners of this darkening world.

Rise up Oh Bride of Christ, your finest hour has dawned this New Year’s Day and our window of opportunity to exploit the last rays of freedom’s daylight is closing. Otherwise the day of our persecution and times of trouble spoken about in the Scriptures will soon provide the contrast which should have been there all along.

Our listening to glorious Sunday morning messages, talk radio; Christian-branding and marketing of worldly delights has forfeited the grace and culture that could have been ours. We’ve lost our Nation not because of our adherence to our Christianity, but because we did not preach it’s redemptive messages outside of our pretty Church buildings and corporate structures.

We’re loosing our Nation not because we’ve not read enough Christian authors, or followed each crazed Christian fad, but rather because we chose passivity and embellished ourselves on “Turkish Delights” of Worldliness, and gazed too long at the bewitchment of the Queen of Goodies and new Technologies. (For which, I too am guilty).

Because we used our freedom to form and fashion false gods of tolerance, gods of laughs and giggles; thumbs up and “Likes” to our sins and compromises. So we branded our Golden Calf with the name “Yahweh” to ease our guilty consciences and silence the voice of God’s whispering Holy Spirit of repentance.

Our Nation’s ruin is not our failed politics, or lack of political might, but rather our refusal to preach the Gospel of a better order, and of an eternal and expanding Kingdom. A Kingdom led by the King of kings, Lord of lords and the Presidents of presidents, that is Jesus Christ, The Righteousness of God!

But there is still Hope. And, the God of all hopes dwells within you. The time is NOW to declare the Hope which is inside of you. For how can it be hope unless you speak it out to the hopeless and the hope-lost?

Put down the false gods of our age, apnd thus brighten the future of America. Our freedom was won by people whose God is the Lord of Life and Freedom.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed! John 8:36

The Empire Strikes Back – The Counter Attack of the American Media Complex – By Thomas Koester

The Enemy of The People

I wrote this four years ago, yet it reads as though I wrote it just yesterday…

The Failed American Media Complex will not go away quietly into the night.

Get ready for all types of media, including social media, print media, and including the alphabet soup networks to strike back against conservative talking outlets, and any outlet whereby free speech flourishes. More and more corporate owners of giant social media sites and network owners will increase the amount of filters against all dissenting voices and opinions. You may have noticed this happening during the recent presidential campaign.

The Media Complex has lost HUGE and has seriously failed the Leftest and Progressives movements. They’ll stop at nothing to correct the wrong they’ve done to the political left and to themselves. So get ready for them to strike back hard!

They’ve inadvertently caused the near extinction of liberalism through their arrogant and inaccurate polling and reporting. “Journalism is dead,” is not quite an accurate montra, rather fair and accurate journalism is beyond dead and beyond saving. We need a new resurrection of true unbiased journalism and fact based reporting. We need a new bread of journalistic watchmen, willing to report the news, rather than shaping and creating the news.

We need a journalistic renaissance to bridge between misreporting to accurately reporting news events, and to hold those in political power accountable to truth and action.

The Freedom of the Press must be free of all bias and ideologically driven journalists, or we’ll lose all other freedoms. I don’t think most people realize just how close we came to losing the Republic during this past election cycle!

Do not return to apathy and indifference. Keep observing and keep talking, and while you’re at it, learn about the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States. Become informed, so that those controlling the media and your classrooms that want you to be uninformed, will be met with your intelligence and not your ignorance.

America is free, because of intelligent-free thinking and self-governing people. The “Useful idiots” (the uninformed) have already lost their freedoms, and are therefore more easily manipulated by “community organizers” and a Media Complex gone wild and unchecked!

Our Nation’s freedom was won by a handful of rebels against the largest and most powerful empire of its day. We too can win the battle against the Media Complex Empire – one network at a time! Starve them to death by listening to them no more.

This is our New American Revolution. You are The Resistance against The American Media Complex!

The Deconstructing of America – By Thomas Koester

The Left are experts in the use of disasters as a political and ideological wrecking ball.

We are witnessing the systematic tearing down of America, under the guise of a real virus, but a false pandemic.

The unfortunate and tragic death of George Floyd had been exploited before all the facts and evidence was considered. Tragically, a rush to judgment incited anger, hatred, division, and ultimately chaos and destruction. Both the virus and the needles death of George Floyd have impacted the economy and National morale, as well as force more and more people into governmental dependency.

Now, in addition to eliminating the bail system, the Socialist and Leftists want to take our guns away. Due to recent events, they want to defund and disband local police agencies. If that’s not enough, the Democrats want to suspend in-person voting just in time for the 2020 November elections.

Do you see? Mass shootings are the driving force to take away our guns. The pandemic is the driving force to fundamentally change the way we vote. The unfortunate death of George Floyd by several cops becomes the driving force to defund and disband the police.

If you look backward at many major events, you can connect the dots to the political agenda of the Left, into the near, and or, distant future. Their efficient use of disaster and calamity becomes breadcrumbs. Follow the breadcrumbs and they’ll lead you to their modus operandi. Each and every one of these historic events is politically abused and exploited to erode our freedoms and destroy the Constitution. The historic evidence is there. Matter of fact the historical evidence is there in any of the previously collapsed Nations.

Rahm Emanuel was the 23rd Chief of Staff serving President Obama and the 55th Mayor of Chicago. He is famous for making an interesting observation about natural or planned disasters:

“You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” – Rahm Emanuel

The Left’s tools of deconstructing America are the use of natural calamity or the creation of disaster to fundamentally change or destroy America. The Left are experts in the use of disasters as a political and ideological wrecking ball.

Honestly, and with all seriousness, if the Conservatives lose both Houses this November, including the White House, America as we know her is finished! This is not mere speculation, but a certainty. Current events are dress rehearsals for something much larger and more widespread.

Was George Floyd a marked-man? Or were the Left desperately waiting for a black American to be killed by a white cop? Whether this incident was happenstance or anticipated, one thing is sure, it was used for maximum effectiveness, and to provide cover for what’s really going on, as well as contribute to further economic ruin of businesses, towns and cities during a key election year.

If we don’t see and understand that everything which has been happening these past few years is intentional and coordinated; designed to corrupt and dismantle our freedoms and liberties, then prevention and recovery will be impossible, or very costly.

Just recently, in California, the Democratic controlled State Assembly has passed a law lowering the age of sexual consent to 14 years of age! I bet with all the pandemonium you hadn’t seen this in the news.

The time for indictments and arrests is now, tomorrow, next week or next month is too late. If these indictments and arrests do not happen before this November than it will never happen.

My hope is in God. He is, for those who trust him, our High Tower and Shield, but I fear for the millions of people that have no trust in God and remain unsaved. There will be a great shaking of America and the world. Nothing that we’ve recently experienced will even come close to the disaster on the horizon.

It reminds me of the Lord of The Rings, “The Tale of Two Towers.”

Evil, I’m afraid, is wakening and aligning. A dark army is forming. The same allies of the past, the Far Left and Islamic Jihadists of the 1930s and 1940s are again coming together. This is not conspiratorial nonsense, or a Hollywood movie script, but historical fact and the evidence is all around in plain sight. But too many people have their faces in front of their smartphones and tablets to notice.

Do you ever wonder how great Nations have fallen?

They fall because too few are paying attention. The watchmen have become too distracted, or have fallen asleep. A free press is the watchmen of society. At least our Founding Fathers thought so. Except our broadcast and printed news media has long since been co-opted by the Left.

Look no further than in America. She is about to fall because so few are paying attention. Today’s watchmen are marginalized or called a “conspiracy nut.” They’re maligned; they impune their character, or accuse them of racism, or acting unchristian. Anybody in the news media that doesn’t follow the political narrative is forced out.

The deconstructing of America has slowly been progressing for over 100 years. However, in these past few years, and especially the first half of 2020, America is falling rapidly, as if the Left tripped the alarm and are now rushing their plan of destruction before America wakes up.

Currently, BLM and ANTIFA are moving from city to city and into the suburbs. I just read a report that the Portland activists and rioters are traveling to Lodi, California.

Do you care, or are you more interested in napping?

Your silence is deconstructing America.

America, WAKE UP!
