The Slumbering of Christianity – By Thomas Koester

“I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw:

“‘A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.’” Proverbs 24: 32-34

America appears to be at the beginning stages of a revolution. The political Left, Marxists and Socialists are fanning the flames of division and are trying to create a war between races, by exploiting unfortunate wrongs and the sins of past centuries. Hatred for Christians, conservatives, and white people is all around, and especially in our major cities and metropolitan areas. Hatred for America and capitalism is being taught in our colleges and universities.

Because of the indoctrination of past several generations, I believe that great persecution is coming. A time of testing is upon us. Christianity is being assaulted. Patriotism is under attack. Our monuments, plaques, and history is being systematically destroyed, canceled and erased, leaving nothing to learn from. Our youth are being used by the Leftist Cabal to kill America and resurrect her as a Socialistic Communist State.

What do you think the world leaders and corporations mean by “Global Reset”?

Global Reset is simply a more acceptable term for New World Order. Do you really think that people of real genuine faith will be invited to the table? That there will be a place for us in this new world?

I don’t think so. Hstory shows us that when the Church abrogates its duty as Salt and Light, darkness invades and usurps our God given role as occupier.

Didn’t Jesus ask us to do something before he returns?

“And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.” (Luke 19:13)

The word occupy means to invest with the intent of increase. They were not simply to keep their Master’s pounds safe. Like the one servant that covered his pound and kept it hidden and protected.

What happened to the dude that kept his pound safe?

“And he [Jesus] said to those who stood by, ‘Take the pound from him, and give it to the one who has the ten pounds.’ And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten pounds!’ ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” (Luke 19: 24-26)

Jesus meant for us to risk everything for the sake of the Kingdom and the Gospel, not keep ourselves safe from the world, that’s the job of the Father of Jesus. God the Father keeps us safe, as we obey the Words of his Son, Jesus Christ.

“I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.” (John 17:15)

Who told you to take the Church out of the world?

It wasn’t Jesus!

Our vacancy in the would has left an open opportunity for the evils of humanity to move in. Our absence as parents, preoccupied with consumption of more then enough, has left its children’s hearts and minds empty and vulnerable. Allowing the State to “educate” our children has corrupted their minds and distorted their virtues.

Our youth of several generations have been robbed of learning and understanding the horrors of Communism. They know nothing of the Socialism of past Nations, nor the misery and death left in its ungodly wake. This is what happens to generations of children when, instead of teaching them historical fact, they are propagandize, and formed unknowingly into groups of agitators, rioters, and revolutionaries.

This is what happens when Christianity barricades themselves in behind the walls of their Churches, instead of preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the marketplaces, downtowns, and the city squares.

“What good is a light hidden under a basket, and what good is salt left in its container?” – Jesus of Nazareth

Jesus preached in towns, hillsides and lakesides; he preached in town squares, villages and at marketplaces. He touched the leappers, the diseased, the blind and the crippled. He set the oppressed free. Cast out demons publicly, dismantling their reign. He crossed racial barriers, challenged religious intolerance, cursed the spiritual elitists, and toppled tables of greed and unjust gain. Jesus did all of this, and far more outside and in plain view. Was Jesus an anomaly, or the standard for all those who call themselves by his Name and hold to his Testimony?

What we’re witnessing today is what the world looks like when Churches retreat from the world, rather than going into the world. We’ve tried conforming our services to the appeal of the world, but as a result, we have created worldly Churches. Worldly Churches have no real spiritual power. The “Prosperity Gospel” does nothing more than create poor Christians, powerless to live godly lives that can impact culture and extol the virtues of our faith.

“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalm 11:3

I call upon the faithful believers in the 3rd World Nations to pray for their brothers and sisters in the West; in Europe and the Americas. We will either rise up from our apathy and preoccupation with prosperity, or join the Nations toppled in past histories. Either we rise to the occasion and loudly proclaim the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, or go silently into seasons of persecution and purification. Jesus Christ will, with all certainty, come back for his Radiant Bride, but not for a Worldly Tramp.

Wake up, Oh House of God from your slumber! Judgment is nearing and your lamps are unfilled, you are ill prepared for the day of disaster!

The hour is late – do you know where your faith is?

The Strength of The Abiding Presence of God – By Thomas Koester


“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 73:26 | ESV

Christians become saints and better disciples when facing trials of every kind. To complain about your suffering is to reject the process that makes you a true saint.

Remembering that God is your strength makes all the difference.

God is on duty 24/7, and nothing, absolutely nothing happens to his saints without his approval and authority. Just ask Job, Apostles Paul, and Peter; John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth.
Through all your suffering, your faith is being perfected and not destroyed. When you rejoice during your suffering Angels gather near you and demons, well they shudder in fear of what you’ll become. Nothing more can transform you faster than when you worship and praise God in the middle of your stormy trials. Your thankfulness will reduce your pain, just like a mother’s joy at the moment of her baby’s birth.
Pain is swallowed up in the midst of your joy, no matter what the Enemy says or does; he’s defeated at the moment of your praise, and your worship of God drives him away.
While Jesus suffered alone, he showed you and I how well a true and obedient son faces and endures the will of God.
Now, face your trials, your pain, and whatever the will of God allows into your life with determination that none of it will destroy God’s love for you. You’re becoming a true Saint just like the Saints you’ve heard and read about in the Scriptures and down through the ages.
You can do it because God is both in you, and His angels are around you! There is nothing greater in this world than the abiding presence of God within your heart.
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us—they help us learn to be patient. Patience develops the strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally, our hope and faith are strong and steady. Then, when that happens, we are able to hold our heads high no matter what happens and know that all is well, for we know how dearly God loves us, and we feel this warm love everywhere within us because God has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” Romans 5:3-5
May the God of the Angel Armies keep and protect you.

Are You a Christ-Follower or a Churchgoer? – By Thomas Koester

If you haven’t noticed lately, the world appears to be slightly short of Christ-Followers.

If we can be honest, COVID-19 shut Churches down because too many Churches suffer from corporatism. That is, in order for Churchs, or religious organizations to “prosper,” they must subscribe to a structural governance that conforms to State and IRS standards. These “standards” hinder the Churches from acting freely, dynamically and transcendently.

COVID-19 simply revealed how much the State actually controls religious liberties, and the actuation of both individual and corporate faith. In other words, what we’ve learned is the core of our identity of trusting and obeying God was superceded by governmental mandates, and their insistence to trust and obey them. Our faith in God and obedience to his Word has lost its contrast, as we believers huddled in our homes with the same fear and apprehension as the unbelievers.

I encourage you to contrast the 21st Century Church with the description and actions of the Church written about in the Acts of the Apostles and in the epistles. Churches back then didn’t worry about liability insurance or the risking of their lives or being arrested. The Gospel went out in spite of death threats, arrests, beatings; in spite of shipwrecks, venomous snake bites, stoning, beheadings and crucifixions.

Our early brothers and sisters defied both civil and religious authorities, where chased out of towns, temples and festivals. When they suffered greatly they wore the stripes from lashings as chevrons and badges of honor, being counted worthy to suffer for Christ Jesus. In a supernatural way, they discovered fellowship with the sufferings of Jesus.

So, I ask you, are you a Christ-Follower, or are you a Churchgoer?

We have everything in Christ, but many believers live as though they’re spiritually bankrupt, having little to no idea of how spiritually rich they are.

I was speaking with some friends of mine a while ago. I had suggested that somewhere along our spiritual journey we’ve ceased being Christ-followers and have simply become Churchgoers. Our lack of individual and collective power bears this out.

Have we exchanged our spiritual heritage and authority for a lifeless, powerless, corporate construct and a 501-C3 tax break?

The truth is that if we’re connected by faith to God, through Christ, then even our mere shadows would become dispensaries of His grace and healing. This is not simply a lost apostolic emphasis, but a lack of connecting faith with obedience and divine relationship with Jesus Christ, who is the source of all life and truth within us.

My good friend, Tony Shaw asked, “why has no one walked on water since the time Peter had left the boat and his feckless cohorts?”

If you have Christ and the fullness of His riches, you then have what it takes to do greater things for others. This is true of the smallest and greatest believer.

When Jesus sends out the 72, he tells them, “Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.” Luke 10:3

Later he instructs them: “Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.'” Luke 10:9

When the 72 return, they brief Jesus with amazing and miraculous reports. Jesus’ response: “I beheld Satan like lightning fall from heaven.” Luke 10:17-18

In light of all this, Jesus promotes, authorize and admonishes them, reminding them to be humble and that their identity is in Heaven.

“I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” Luke 10:19-20

I want to remind you too that your significance and identity is in Heaven, and that you also have been given authority. Your faith, as little as it maybe, is far greater than you think.

“I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” Luke 7:28

“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.” John 14:12

Can you imagine, if we truly understood our identities in Christ and walked as He walked? Because Christ Jesus has gone to the Father, He said we will do greater things then He. What if we spent a few hours at hospitals, nursing homes, Walmart or hospice care facilities? What would be the outcome of the sick and dying, if we were truly connected to heaven’s riches in Christ?

This could be one way of lowering the cost of healthcare!

If you abide in me, said Jesus, and my words abide in you, then anything you ask of my Father will be done for you. John 15:7

All we need to accomplish this is an exchanged identity. Thwart our false selves and acknowledge our true selves as Children of God!

Turn your old one in today and receive a brand new identity in Christ Jesus. The lost, hurting and sick needs the Christ in us. All heaven and earth, even nature are yearning for the Children of God to be revealed.

Are you simply a Churchgoer or Christ-Follower? There is a difference. If you follow Christ into Church, you must also follow Christ into the world in which he’s placed you.

The Kingdom of God is in you, and as you go into the world, no matter how dark or frightening, you bring the Kingdom of God near people. Believe me, it will not go unnoticed!

The Cozy & Snuggly Dangers of Apathy – By Thomas Koester

Apathy is so nice and cozy. You don’t have to worry about absolutely nothing!

It’s like enjoying your home, all of it’s comforts and niceties, and paying no attention to the fire in your attic and the flood rising in your basement.

Oh, never mind those pesky neighbors, pounding on your doors and windows, they’re just disturbing your tranquil occupation with Reality TV.

“Gees,” you think to yourself: “those neighbors need to get a life!”

“A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.” Proverbs 6:10-11

Wake up people, we’re losing the cultural war – the battle for the very soul of our Nation, because the Church is asleep in the Light and doesn’t bother leaving it’s cozy pews to put Truth into practice.

Are we more mesmerized by the light trickling in through the pretty stained glass windows, than the Light of the Glorious Gospel beaming outward, like lightening from the East to the West?

If all the wars and rumor of wars are not troubling, and all the reports of world wide terrorisim aren’t unsettling; if Mother Nature’s fury is yesterday’s news and riots churning up bloody revolution is simply an inconvenience, then you’re not paying attention. The world is in turmoil and Churches split over scandal after scandal. Some priests molest and many pastors build their empires and dynastic ministries.

500 years ago, Martin Luther posted his Ninety Five Thesis on the Church doors to wake up the clergy, putting them on notice. He shocked the religious establishment and freed ideological and theological slaves from the falseness of fake religion and heresy into the Light of God’s Word.

Where are the Luthers of our time? Where are the Christlike Saints of unstoppable faith and undetoured obedience? Where are the brave souls awakened from apathy?

God is all about keeping his promises and there will, one day, be a day of reckoning – God does indeed hear the persistent prayers of desperate widows; However, Christ has said, “…when the Son of Man returns, will he find faith on earth?” Luke 18:8.

Church, your attics are on fire and in your basements the flood waters are rising! Stop allowing FEMA and the government the usurpation of your calling and the robbery of your crowns!

You’ve exchanged your glory for a 501-C3 tax break! Yet, Christ has said:

“Give back to Caesar the things of Caesar, and to God the things of God.”

You’ve given to Caesar too much, and to God, too little.

Wake up, Oh Bride of Christ, your finest hour is upon you and the fields of every Nation are white, ready for harvest.

If the signs of the times are any indication of the eminent return of Jesus Christ, then wake up from your apathy and dust off your faith, you are desperately needed!

The Grasshopper and The Giant – By Thomas Koester


Remember the story of the twelve Hebrew spies that Moses sent into the promised land?

“Caleb interrupted, called for silence before Moses, and said, “Let’s go up and take the land—now. We can do it.”

“… But the others said, “We can’t attack those people; they’re way stronger than we are.” They spread scary rumors among the people of Israel. They said, “We scouted out the land from one end to the other—it’s a land that swallows people whole. Everybody we saw was huge. Why, we even saw the Nephilim giants (the Anak giants come from the Nephilim). Alongside them, we felt like grasshoppers. And they looked down on us as if we were grasshoppers.” Numbers 13: 30-33

It’s your faith in God that gives you a proper perspective. Joshua and Caleb’s faith in the ability of God convinced them:

“Let’s go up and take the land—now. We can do it.” – Caleb

For many, the microscopic COVID-19 virus had become their giant. But even here and now, in the 21st century, we have a similar choice.

Do we become paralyzed with fear?

Do we spread rumors and fake news?

Do we so easily forfeit our rights as citizens?

How does our faith work in this situation?

Is an unseen pathogen beyond the ability of God, stronger than God?

Is Governor Cuomo right in what he said?

“The number [deaths] is down because we brought the number down,” he told the press. “God did not do that. Faith did not do that. Destiny did not do that. A lot of pain and suffering did that…” – Governor Cuomo, New York

Are we on our own, left to our own demise?

Certainly not!

Are you a Joshua and Caleb, or are you easily intimidated by giants?

If we could be convinced that the giants we face in our darkest days are only grasshoppers, then we’d realize that our faith in God actually makes us into giants.

Faith changes our perception of what is impossible or immovable, to what is possible and moveable. This is true of those with the smallest of faith. Even our smallest faith in God can bring us our biggest triumphs in life.

As a matter of fact, when you actuate your faith in God, the Devil and his minions see you as a giant. Their perception of you changes as your faith is exercised.

So, believe the Eternal One who is in you so that you may defeat the Evil One who is in the world. It should always be faith over matter and not matter over faith. Faith in God always triumphs against evil. Faith triumphs against our fears. Against our sicknesses; our diseases, our losses, and against our loneliness. Faith moves us to do the impossible for God.

I’ll say it again…

…faith in God always triumphs.

He triumphs over everything, even in death. So, shout at your giants in the Name of Jesus; being yielded to God and while standing firm in your faith, and the giants must flee, and they’ll scurry away like grasshoppers!

Your faith is a bold proclamation of your sonship and authority in Christ, and it sends giants packing and shrinks them down to size.

The 14 year old singer-songwriter and poet, David, son of Jesse, knew it. And, now you know it.

You are not the grasshopper. Your faith makes you the Giant!

Sometimes Suffering Is a Test That You Must Pass – By Thomas Koester

The Enemy’s plan: Cause you pain to rob you of your future. God’s plan: Give you a future through your pain and rob the Enemy.

The way you fail the test of suffering is to claim yourself as a victim.

The reason you feel like a victim is because you do not feel like a son or daughter.

Stop interpreting your hardship as a series of mishaps. If you begin to embrace all hardship as an established fact of your son-ship, suddenly you’ll gain strength that you’ve never thought possible. Our God is no dead-beat dad; those whom he loves, he inflicts hardship, and his hardship for your life comes from a good place in his heart.

Once you’ve realized this, you will embrace and welcome hardship, greeting it each day as you are conformed into the image of Jesus Christ. He’s fathering you and he knows what he is doing.

Your suffering is actually making you into God’s masterpiece. The sooner you understand this the sooner your trust in God will foil the Devil’s plan of distorting your future.

One of the most effective and powerful things you can do is to praise God in the midst of your suffering. This will destroy any misgivings and doubt about who you are and who God is. This will also destroy the Devil’s plan and his scheme of using your suffering as his weapon – your praise disarms evil!

The Enemy’s plan: Cause you pain to rob you of your future. God’s plan: Give you a future through your pain and rob the Enemy.

This is because as a follower of Jesus, you are God’s son or daughter, and the Evil One, well he can’t take that away; he can mess with your mind and feelings, but the truth of who you are and to whom you belong is the source of your strength.

Revelation 12:11

“They defeated him [the Devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony; for they did not love their lives but laid them down for him [Christ].”

You are God’s beloved son our daughter and this truth is secured in the finished work of Jesus Christ!

So, look to the wisdom behind your suffering and hardship. I think you may discover your Father’s fingerprints and Jesus’ footsteps.

If you find yourself on “Easy Street” sinning and carrying on, peering upon the naked, peeking at the exploited and injecting your life with indulgences and have no hardship and no suffering; then quite possibly, you’re illegitimate and not a true son. But, I trust this is not your case.

“My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding…” Proverbs 3:11-13

If you pass this test you’ll move on. If you blame the devil and others, you’ll stay stuck in a perpetual groundhog day.

So, don’t waste your hardships and suffering on blaming the devil or others. Accept it and be fathered.

Maybe you’re not a victim after all. Maybe you are a true child of God.

Pandemics & Socialism – Heaven vs. The New World Order – By Thomas Koester

This is an uplifting, positive and hope-filled message.

In light of all that has happened over the past several weeks, the world is seamlessly conforming to governing authorities. Food and supply rationing, voluntary and involuntary quarantine and many, many more limitations and restrictions.

For those that believe and obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ, trials and tribulations are a way of life. At least, they should be.

If we focus on heaven and understand that heaven is our final destination and the place where we’re told to invest our treasures, our HOPE in heaven should actually be a stronger contagion than an invisible virus.

If, however, God’s people are preoccupied with a worldly utopianism, then our hope in heaven is sadly muted. The lost will see no distinction between worldly utopianism and the hope of heaven.

Recently I became convicted over my hoarding of toilet paper. I had purchased four packs of 12 rolls. While I made the surplus purchase for my out-of-town children, the quarantine has kept us from traveling to them, and now I’m stuck starring at my surplus, while others are in need.

The story of the Children of God in the Egyptian Wilderness that had left all their securities and comforts in their flight from Pharaoh came flooding into my mind. Helpless and without food and the necessities of life, they began to witness miracle after miracle.

God immediately began to feed them food from heaven. All they had to do was to each morning gather it up. There were no lines of people or social distancing. Their shoes and clothing stoped showing wear and tear. God’s presence in the form of an enormous pillar of fire during the night and an amazing pillar of smoke during the day, comforted and protected the Children of Israel.

But, like God’s ancient children of Israel, we too gathered up more than we needed for the day and even the week.

The Children of Israel, escaping 400 years of slavery, had become too dependent upon Egypt for their meager rationing of food; of building materials, supplies and clothing. Their slave-mentality and worldly dependency conflicted with the tenderness of the Father-Hearted God of Israel.

Even with God’s promises of a land flowing with milk and honey as their very own possession, it could not break the slave-mentality of God’s people. They craved the guarantees of enslavement to the most powerful nation on the earth, more than the promises of God, creator of heaven and earth!

During the 40 years of wilderness wandering, the Children of Israel gathered more than enough food for the day. However, every time they hoarded more than enough, it rotted by the next morning, rendering it inedible.

Then they complained about the lack of variety and craved meat, so God sent them quail. They even abused God’s generosity and began gathering too much of the birds. Then God sends them so much quail, the birds stacked up knee-deep, creating a new problem with the “hoarders of Israel.” The quail rotted in their teeth making them sick.

You see, God wants his people to standout. God wants to show the world, through you and I that he can, and does provide. God wants his people to believe in his promises of Heaven, just like he wanted his children of Israel to believe in the promises of a land flowing with milk and honey.

As Moses sent out twelve spies to scout out the promised land, only two came back with a good report. The other ten spies only saw the land of giants and their slave-mentality robbed them once again of experiencing God’s promises.

The two optimistic spies filtered out the impossible because they believed in the goodness and greatness of God which was shown to them since God rescued them from Egypt and Pharaoh’s might.

Are you optimistic about God? Or are you optimistic in governmental control?

Are you more enamored in worldly utopianism, or are you heavenly-minded?

I think just like the testing that went on and on during the wilderness wandering of the Children of Israel, many of God’s Children today are wandering, and wondering with fear and doubt. So much fear and doubt that many are clinging to a slave-mentality. Many are craving the power of America just like their biblical ancestors craved the might of Eygpt and the power of Pharaoh.

Adjust your trust and pass this test!

Show the world that you are the Children of God, by trusting in his goodness and father-heart. Start obeying the truth of God’s promises so that the world can see heavenward.

Stop your needless wandering and start to wonder about the amazing and unstoppable love and goodness of God.

Obedience becomes a response and act of love towards God. “If you love me, you will obey all that I’ve commanded you, writes the Apostle, John. We don’t love, to be justified, rather we love because we are justified. We don’t love God to be loved, rather we love God because he first loved us. “…but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Writes Paul to the Roman Christians.

But alas, we have lost our vision and appetite for heaven. Our longing for heaven has been replaced with impatience and synthesized heaven. Our eternal hope has been replaced with the expediency of the here and now; the instant access to “Turkish delights” and winks and giggles to worldly compromise. We simply create an app for our smartphones and tablet PCs to displace our heavenly hope.

We’ve joined the world in their quest for a “perfect” society, here and now. If we don’t live in our Heavenly Hope, we have nothing to show or challenge their false visions of Nirvana.

Fifty percent of today’s youth want Socialism. Why? Because Socialism is filling the vacuum left by a retreating Church from its place in society and culture.

If we would simply fall in love again with our First Love and paint on the canvases of our faces our heavenly hope; recapture the joy of our salvation, maybe the world would notice that a better world does indeed exist. Maybe – just maybe, we would have words rather than judgments to express the Hope, which lies in the heart and soul of us who believe.

“And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world so that all nations will hear it, and then, finally, the end will come,” writes Matthew

Let’s leave all our earthy heaven-building and our legislative agendas of Christian Utopianism and unveil the true Heaven, which by the way, is not of this world.

Let’s get back to preaching and declaring the Good News about the Kingdom of God to every Nation so that end will end, and the beginning can begin.

Our future is in a New Heaven and in a New Earth and not in a New Social Order. Let our heavenly hope to be the new contagion and become the new pandemic!

Your Fake Faith Won’t Save You From a Real Hell – A Dire Warning To The Hyper Spiritualists & Charismatic Pagans – By Thomas Koester

Give me a break, you false prognosticators and fake prophets.

How arrogant to announce that the Coronavirus is a sign that we’re entering into “The Great Tribulation,” when the middle East, Asia and much of Africa has been experiencing tremendous and overwhelming tribulation for the past decade.

How about the Christians in North and East Africa, and including South Africa that are beaten, terrorized, robbed and beheaded?

How about the Christians in many Middle Eastern Nations, also being martyred by all sorts of treachery and murderous rampage?

How about the Christians murdered by Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong and Che Guevara?

Western Christianity dosen’t deserve, or attract real tribulation, because it’s Christians do not act like true Christ followers, and are preoccupied with religious progressivism, cheap grace and a watered down Gospel. Be careful what you call tribulation, it just might be God’s righteous judgment against the fakery of Western Christianity.

Western Christianity is not in the same class as our brothers and sisters all over the world, suffering because of their fiery passion and fearless loyalty to Christ Jesus.

Tribulation comes to those that practice true holiness and devotion to Jesus Christ and not to the spiritually flamboyance of charismatic-paganism and hyper-spiritualism.

You are not worthy of tribulation, nor the Devil’s time. You may think you’re honoring God, but you’ve been worshiping demons, and being intoxicated by their seductive allure to your mind, will and emotions.

You are “The I Feel Crowd,” constantly seeking new feelings and spiritual experiences that have nothing to do with Heaven; with the Holy Scriptures, authentic faith and real salvation.

The Devil is not a bit concerned about your fake faith and lust for gifts and miracles. He doesn’t care about your phoney worship services, or your “special revelations.”

Why?

Because you’re performing his gigs.

You’re no threat to the Kingdom of Darkness, and the Devil, and, well he’s absolutely fine with that. “Any friend of the World,” says the Devil, “is a friend of mine.”

You see, you’re either a fan of the Devil’s, or a follower of Jesus Christ. It’s the Devil that’s after a fan base. Jesus, well, he told the Devil a firm “No,” when he offered him the kingdoms of the world, if he’d only bow down and worship him.

So, don’t tell us that we’re at the beginning of The Great Tribulation; nope, you’ve got it wrong! We’re in the beginning of The Great Falling Away, and you’re leading Mainstream Christianity right over the cliff, all the while singing “love songs.”

Let me ask you an honest question…

Are you a Fan, or are you a follower?

Turn to the real and only Saviour, Christ Jesus, cause your fake faith won’t save you from a real hell!

Untapped Spiritual Power – By Thomas Koester

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live even if he dies, and the one who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” – John 11:25-26

If Church attendance and membership rosters were any indication of spiritual success then Jesus Christ would have been considered as a complete and utter failure.

His own disciples ran out on him, and his Father let him suffer a naked and terrible death on a cross. He was buried in a borrowed tomb, which was carefully guarded by nearly a dozen Roman solders.

Yet, Christianity finds its roots in the single and most important act:

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

“…and if Christ has not been raised from death, then we have nothing to preach and you have nothing to believe.” – 1 Corinthians 15:14

It is the power of Christ’s resurrection, which should both compel and propel your Church and not budgets and bodies!

“The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all.” – Acts 4:33

The focus of a Church living from the roots and foundation of the resurrected Lord of Life, is to seek and to save the lost, rather than a mausoleum of inactive Christians.

To the early Christians and First Century Church the Resurrection was their main message. For us today its become a holiday.

“I want to know Him inside and out. I want to experience the power of His resurrection and join in His suffering, shaped by His death, so that I may arrive safely at the resurrection from the dead.” – Philippians 3:10-11

If you want a vibrant and alive Church, preach the Resurrection of Christ throughout the year.

If you want a dead Church, stay with your religious tips and tricks, and keep following those mainstream, so-called Christian fads and fashions. You may get your numbers and budgets, but you’ll have no real spiritual power.

Without real spiritual power you’ll have no real spiritual fruit.

The Church was founded and propelled by an Outlaw, and today the Church is held back by it’s bylaws!

Get back to the message of Resurrection, and not just on Easter Morning.

Preach powerfully the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing will be upon you all.

The greatest critic and deniers of the resurrection of Christ are not disbelievers and atheists, but those who refuse to preach and live it!

True spiritual success still comes from the most powerful event in all human history…

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

“Do you believe this?”

If you did, you’d be full of life and full of power, and no worldly or spiritual force could stop your message.

Tap into it and live it and gain true spiritual power, power the Lost and the Broken are waiting for.

The Green New Deal & The New Egypt – By Thomas Koester

The Democrat leadership has fallen prey to the false ideals of Socialism and the impossible dream of Utopia. They desire complete Federalization of our economy, of our food, our education, our transportation, our healthcare, our factories; even our basic ability to communicate freely and openly. The impetus of National Socialism in America is The Green New Deal.

This Green New Deal will first ask us for our wages, our properties, our cars, our sons and daughters. When we have nothing more for them to take, they will then come for us. Since in the United States, Socialism cannot excel as an official party, they have infiltrated and infested the Democratic Party, using it as a parasitical host.

There was a similar time in History, whereby an entire group of people became enslaved. It was in Middle East, when a historic famine in Egypt occurred from 1708 BC – 1701 BC. During a seven-year period severe drought struck the region, whereby no grain grew, and water being scarce, livestock suffered, as well as many people.

Prior to this Great Famine of ancient Egypt, Egypt, being The Great Super Power of their day, began storing grains, livestock, food and supplies for seven years before the start of The Great Famine.

Three and one half years into the Great Famine, the desperateness of Hebrew people caused them to move into the land of Egypt. Egypt sold stockpiles of food and commodities to the Hebrews (Israelites), and to their own people. When the Israelites ran out of money, they sold what was left of their starved livestock. When they ran out of livestock, they sold their children into slavery. When they ran out of children, they sold themselves into slavery, so that they might have food, shelter; basic needs and “employment.” Employment soon turned into hard labor, and hard labor turned into the misery of slavery.

Their slavery lasted for 400 years!

The Green New Deal is the New Egypt. If we stand idly by; if we refuse to expose and discredit Socialism, and the Far Left’s agenda to Nationalize and Federalize everything, we will become slaves. We’ll become forcibly dependent on government and the Masters of Deceit and Control. Quantity and quality will become a scarcity. Their madness of redistribution and “equality” will create nothing more than equal misery.

Don’t allow America to slip away. If America falls into Socialism there will be nowhere else to go. As a matter of verifiable and historical fact, Socialism will morph into full blown communism and dictatorial control.

If you’re not shocked about the popularity of the self-admitted Socialist, Berney Sanders, and his influence within culture and politics, you’ve not been paying attention. You cannot ignore the rise of Socialism, nor laugh it off. Socialism is here within our borders, and like the Coronavirus, it’s spreading rapidly throughout our Nation and body-politics.

The Coronavirus’s ability to mutate, and the fact that a carrier can spread the virus, all the while being asymptomatic, makes this virus strain significantly dangerous.

Socialism’s ability to mutate in, and through various leftists ideologies, makes it significantly dangerous. Coupled with sheer ignorance and a lack of historical knowledge, it lurks deep within the psyche of it’s carriers. All the while, being asymptomatic, that is, unaware of the political disease within their minds, they spread like a virus. They are oblivious to the toxicity of Socialism, and therefore are unaware of it’s corrosive affects on freedom and liberty.

Make no mistake. Socialism, and it’s stepchild, Communism has killed as many people, indiscriminately, as did the horrific plaques of yesteryear.

The Green New Deal, is not “New”. It’s The New Egypt of the 21st Century.
