12/03/20 HOW WE GOT TO THIS PLACE

TOO BAD FOLKS DID NOT hear me and stand for Jesus 34 years ago. Here is a post I made two years ago, addressing our stand for freedom and the Lordship of Christ, and the negative responses or absence of response we got from the State and Christian leaders, such as law enforcement (in several states), Helms, Coble, Sizemore, Robertson, Kennedy, Falwell, Sekulow, Gibbs, as well as many more politicians, pastors and lawyers. It cost us our houses, cars, friends, families, reputations, and freedom.

Virtually nobody cared and no one stood with us. We did not bow, we did not bend, we did not compromise the Lordship of Jesus. They all cried, "Health and Safety" or "Zoning Laws," (as if those things cancelled out the authority of Jesus and the Bible).

MY POST FROM TWO YEARS AGO...

I have been accused of hiding since 1986 (among other things).
During that entire time you could have found me hiding...
FB for over 9 years;
Internet presence and activity 20+ years;
Television and Newspaper News,
in NC (Coast, Piedmont),
in Texas (Dallas, Fort Worth),
in Tennessee (Knoxville, Crossville);
Radio and Cable TV programing
in NC, in Texas.

I have had my name publicly displayed on church signs in North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina.

I have been well known (and sometimes maligned) by police, Texas Rangers, Courts, State Government Agencies, Law firms, Nationally known political leaders, nationally known church leaders.

People have threatened to kidnap the children of my church.

People have planned to send "cult deprogrammers" to snatch adults and children from my 'CONTROL."

People have sent Law enforcement to rescue their "little girls," (who were actually grown and married women, one of which was a mother of three). Oh, and the accusers knew the facts.

Law Enforcement was actually alerted to raid our church and I was told I would be arrested and put in jail.

In another State, Law Enforcement was told to surveil me and my church because we were a dangerous cult (possibly making human sacrifices).

People have impersonated my mother and father, seeking "information" about me. (My mother had been dead for about 30 years).

There have been "Christian women" who have traveled from three separate States in order to go to court, bear false witness and destroy a family of three, because of their hatred for me and my ministry.

Some of these blasphemers and detractors have contacted my family, friends, former parishioners, lying about me, my church, my practices, my beliefs.

I have been called, Jim Jones, David Karesh, Muammar Gaddafi and falsely aligned with the Matamoros Ritualistic Killings of the late 1980s.

AND THIS IS JUST SOME OF SATAN'S ATTACK ON US.
I am just glad I was in hiding, because there is no telling what those lying blasphemers would have done if I had maintained a public presence.

And by the way, my beliefs, practices, affiliations, associations, locations have always been available.

I have not done anything that is contrary to Biblical practice or Historical Christianity or contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America or Biblical (New Testament) revelation.

I have never asked, coerced, forced anyone to be part of our ministry or to do anything that was contrary to their knowledge of the word of God or in conflict with their own personal convictions. In fact, I have actually sent people away from our ministry, in order for them to evaluate our ministry, their own beliefs and their associations with us.

I have warned people that being part of our ministry would probably unleash the hounds of hell on them, therefore I urged them to be very careful about their choices. (And, sure enough, the Denizens of the Dark have actually destroyed families that God had put together.)

When others have shown an interest in our ministry and I asked them what held them back, some of them quickly and clearly said that they believed we were Biblical and Christian, but they knew that going the way of the Bible will probably lead to jail or worse. People have told me that they were not willing to risk their "stuff" and lifestyle, because the cost was too great.

I tell you this, because we need to understand that Satan wants to destroy individual believers and entire churches. He uses deceit and intimidation to thwart the work of God. We have not been in hiding. In fact, I have boldly and unapologetically taken my stand for Jesus and His word and when threatened I have said, "Send your bad boys," and in affect, "Come and Take it."

I don't depend on the arm of flesh, or horses and chariots, or Caesar or the nationally known "heroes of the faith." I am just me, a simple follower of Christ, living by faith, trusting in the Sword of the Spirit and not the sword of steel. I believe in human government and I reject anarchy as well as Statism.

Now, how would you like be part of our little ministry? heheh

THE FOLLOWING WAS TAKEN from previous posts concerning the beginning of our journey.

It is a good idea to let the State make Christian ministry illegal because then there is room for religious diversity (NOT).

In the 1980s our church met in this building and provided FREE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION to the community. But of course, for every student enrolled in a private school (Christian or otherwise) the Public School loses thousands of dollars.

As a result our church came under State oppression (attack). After our Christian ministry was gone, the building was occupied by an Islamic Mosque, and Unitarians (which often move into building facilities left by Christians).

So, if you don't want a Bible preaching church near you, don't worry, there will be some group to step in and receive the blessing of the State as they lead your children away from Jesus Christ and Bible faith.

The Governor (a Republican) wanted to help but could not because of the way the State law was written. He did as much as he could do at the time and I appreciated him.

...We were denied help by four of the MOST influential Evangelical leaders in the nation (who actually stood with the false Christ, Sun Myung Moon), and a host of other pastors in our own area, as well as being abandoned by some of the leading, most well known "Christian" congressmen in the nation, along with the most famous Christian lawyer who defends against State oppression in the nation today (probably the world) and other Christian law offices across the country.

It isn't that our cause was unjust, but rather that it was too controversial and as I was told, "not winnable." At the very time we were being targeted by the State, there were other church groups in our vicinity, which were in violation of the SAME State codes, but they were not even approached by the State. In fact, County Officials, told us on TV news that some of the violations they were using to shut us down were not even applicable to our ministry, but they knew we were going to grow numerically. Even with this information, NO ONE STOOD WITH US.

This was in the mid 1980s. I preached and taught, and stood with other oppressed ministries. I addressed the very plague of sin that carpets our nation today. I was abandoned by friends, parishioners and family for doing and saying what had always been the norm in Christian ministry. But when oppression came, the fair weather sailors jumped ship.

The very truths I preached against have become the abominations that are flooding our nation today. FOLKS SHOULD HAVE LISTENED rather than run away. I want our nation to turn, but I think we have crossed the point of no return.

I am sorry that our nation (and our world) is rushing headlong to hell. But, it is not a shock for those who believe the Bible. However, the path we have traveled has prepared us to live in a Babylonian, Laodicean world. It takes more than yesterday's commitment to be faithful today. It takes more than the light from yesterday's saints to penetrate today's darkness. We either walk in God's light as we follow or we fall into darkness for not following. We better walk in today's light, in preparation for tomorrow's battles.
