By Tim Taylor, July 29, 2020 - After our house church service on July 19 we visited the Street Church who meets in PT Ruston in Tacoma.  They've been doing this every Sunday since Governor Inslee used the coronavirus as an excuse to trample on our First Amendment rights, Section 11 of the Washington State Constitution and HIPPA.  

Here is a quick civics lesson.  The Constitution describes what civil government can do.  The Bill of Rights describes what the civil government CANNOT DO because these are rights given by God.  Also note the following principle.  What you create, you have the right and the ability to legislate.  You have the right and responsibility to govern.  Make sense?  

Civil government did not create the Church.  Jesus did.  The truth is, civil government has no jurisdiction in the Church.  If you want to learn more about this concept I've devoted a whole chapter in my book Kingdom League International, Structures and Strategies available through Amazon.  Hence, it is truly up to the overseer, senior pastor, apostle, bishop, eldership, deacons, board or church leadership to decide whether to meet or not, how those meetings will be conducted, will they require masks, social distancing or do they choose not to meet for now.  It's OK for them to make that decision and it is absolutely wrong for the Govenor to abuse the emergency powers act to act like a tyrant who refuses to give up power.  Click here for an excellent opinion piece from a May 26 article in the Wennatchee World on this subject. 

The First Amendment was created with that understanding.  The President and his administration have done well.  They've offered strong recommendations.  Many Democrat govenors, with a socialist mindset and agenda have overstepped the bounds of jurisdiction and are trampling on the State Constitution (ie. there are 8 steps required to create a law of which none have been followed in Washington) and people's rights through their edicts. We are under martial law, at least they act that way, though they avoid using that term. The Governor has gone so far as to even mandate how many people can meet in a home.  In all my life, I've never seen such micromanagement on a macro scale.  

PT Ruston Street Preachers Encounter with Law Enforcement
So we arrived at the PT Ruston park which is by a shopping center.  When we arrived we saw a PT Ruston police officer speaking with Doug Basler, a minister, business owner and the guy running for Congress in the 9th District.  It just so happens he's been doing outreaches since the late 80s.  Anyway, the officer was engaging with Doug and other members of his team who were setting up their sound system on the park next to the water.   

One member of Doug's team has a laminated handout titled Free Speech Rights & Court Rulings Relating to Street Preaching.  It listed all of these rulings highlighting the following.  Doug was kind enough to share with me his handout. If you want the details providing the specific court rulings you can download by clicking here. 

By Tim Taylor, July 26, 2020 - Yesterday Brenda and I joined a state representative, ministers and churches from around Washington state in Kennewick Washington at the Calvary Chapel Tri-cities amphitheater for Operation: "In God We Trust."  It was a protest against Governor Inslee's prohibition of the FREE EXERCISE of Religion and Worship of God. I was honored to pray the benediction at the end of the 2nd service.  

Six ministers in each service addressed the issue of "what lawful and scriptural basis guarantees our freedom to worship God at all times?"  The seventh minister led prayer during the benediction and our State Representative wound the whole event up leading us in a song, a corporate prayer of intercession with, "God Bless America."  

At the end of the 2nd service I followed Troy Green of Northwest Life Center who served as the closer of this event with a powerful call for the restoration of David's tabernacle.  I did the benediction. Click here for a 2 minute Youtube video where I began to pray for the real Church to arise.  I prayed for courage to return to the Church and for the body of Christ to get a spine.

But, I want to focus on "arise."  Why?  Because on our drive back across the mountains we saw an unusual sight which I believe is a sign of the real Church arising.  It's an encouragement from our Lord that He has heard and is answering our prayer.  1 Kings 18 provides context for it as does Joel 2.   What God is saying through the sign? 

There is a Church Arising!  

Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, "...And there is nothing new under the sun." 

Racism is a relatively new term addressing an ancient problem.  What's the problem?  According to the Bible it is a sin problem. 

​According to secular humanism, which flows hand in glove with the godless Marxist ideology which seeks to exploit this issue, it is a skin problem.    A wikipedia article attributes the first recorded mention of the term in Oxford's Dictionary in 1903.   

Let's start with how racism is defined today.  Dictionary.com says it is "a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.  

Bottom line, making any decision about any person or people group based upon the color of their skin or ethnicity is wrong.  Typically the moment anyone says, all whites, all blacks or African-Americans, all Asians, all Jews, all Muslims..... fill in the blank.  You are wrong.  Why? Because invariably not all fit the description which turns your statement into a half truth and a half truth mixed with untruth is a lie. The brush you used to paint the situation is to big. The inaccurate statement harms or wrongs the individual that does not fit the description.  They are maligned. That means evil was spoken of them.

Do you need to identify the racist or racism?  Find the one whose speech most frequently refers to color, race or ethnicity in a demeaning or derogatory way.    

The Same Problem Existed in the Early Church

By Tim Taylor, July 17, 2020 - A fire broke out on the US Bonhomme Richard in San Diego.  According to some sources it appears fires were set in the bow and in the stern simultaneously.  (The New Arab reports: Iran commander claims US Navy warship fire is "insider arson." while Defense News reports: The Bonhomme Richard fire deals blow to Navy's designs for Indo-Pacific.)

Last night during "The Call to Pray for our Nation" I was impressed by the Lord that this is a prophetic sign.  You see, the Bonhomme Richard was named after the ship skippered by the founder of the American Navy, John Paul Jones.  He was made famous by his response in a battle off the British Isles in which the Bonhomme Richard took on the British frigate Serapis and a smaller vessel the Countess of Scarborough.  

In the first engagement the Bonhomme Richard was severely damaged.  Out gunned, sinking and at a grave disadvantage Jones heard the British captian yell, sir, do you wish to strike your colors?  That's the signal for surrender.  To which John Paul Jones famously replied, "sir, I have not yet begun to fight."  

Against all odds the bloody battled continued.  Three hours later, the Countess of Scarborough and the Serapis surrendered to John Paul Jones.  Jones had to transfer his flag to the Serapis as the Bonhomme Richard sunk the next day.  

In this video I'll desribe how this prophetically points to the remnant Church upon which America's destiny resides today.  Click here for Tim's revelation in this Youtube video.

by Tim Taylor, July 8, 2020: There is a precept in war that says you ought to know your enemy.  The principle of objective says it this way.  The objective must be clearly defined.  If it is not, casualties mount and defeat or stalemate is inevitable (see Developing Apostolic Strategy).  The real enemy manifesting through BLM has not been identified by most.  It is actually demons working through people.  In fact, that's part of the strategy of their founders. 

Consider this report by Religion News Service from June 15, 2020 in Black Lives Matter is "a spiritual movement," says co-founder Patrisse Cullors.  The article says and note, I've added my own underlines; 

Excerpt 1:  Abdullah and Cullors touched on the practice of calling out the names of the victims that they advocate for in protests and demonstrations. It's kind of a way to invoke their spirits, Abdullah said.
Uplifting the names of victims goes beyond creating hashtags, Cullors said.
“It is literally almost resurrecting a spirit so they can work through us to get the work that we need to get done,” she said.
By highlighting their names, Cullors said she feels "personally connected and responsible and accountable to them, both from a deeply political place but also from a deeply spiritual place.”
Cullors touched on West African traditions that center on remembering ancestors.

Excerpt 2: 

As part of the ritual, people recited the names of "those taken by state violence before their time — ancestors now being called back to animate their own justice," Farrag wrote.
After each name, Abdullah poured libations on the ground as the group in return chanted "Asé." The Yoruba term is "often used by practitioners of Ifa, a faith and divination system that originated in West Africa," Farrag wrote.
Abdullah on Saturday said it took her almost a year before she realized Black Lives Matter was much more than a racial and social justice movement.
"At its core, it's a spiritual movement," she said.
Cullors said it became clear to her they needed "spiritual protection" ...

Bottomline, this practice invites demons to work through people in the Black Lives Matter organization.  That in and of itself should make things abundantly clear who the real enemy is.  by Tim Taylor, July 6, 2020: 

by Tim Taylor, July 6, 2020: Black Lives Matter (BLM) has come to the forefront of the civil rights movement but its practices and ideology are far different than the civil rights movement led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  Why?  It's because of their worldview and their ideology.  An in-depth look at the ideological foundation of their founders will provide great insight to help us discern the fruit of the BLM organization. 

There is a basic principle found in God's word which teaches us that if the root is good the fruit is good.  We find this concept first introduced in Genesis 1:11 which says it this way and note my underlines.  "Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so.  If you plant an apple seed you are going to get apples.  Not pears!  True?  Of course! 

In Matthew 7:15 -16 Jesus warns us about false prophets.  He tells us how to recognize them in verse 16.  He says in Matthew 7:15-20 and note my underlines, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

What fruit is Jesus refering to?  I submit you that it refers to the characteristics of character and the results that accompany the practice of those character traits.  Consider the following scriptures and note the underlines.

John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.  

John 10:10 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Galatians 5:19-24  Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.  
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires

The Three Founders of Black Lives Matter

by Tim Taylor - July 1, 2020 - Carl of Prophetic Communities in Australia invited me to do a series on Developing Apostolic Resource Centers.  It turned into 8 lessons which we've added to our Spiritual War College in our Kingdom Academy. 

We are going to make this free to the public for my birthday!  After that, you'll only be able to access it through our Kingdom Academy or if you are a member of Kingdom League's Family or Tribe.  

One of the benefits of accessing these courses through our Kingdom Academy is that you can download a PDF copy of the Power Points and use them for your notes. 

Click here to access the 8 Youtube lessons!  They'll be available for free for the next week. 

Three Levels of Training are Available 

The Boot Camp is free!  It's for everyone.  

The Officer Candidate School is for those who want to be trained as ministers.  I went to Aviation Officer Candidate School in the Navy.  So think of this as basic training for those being trained to be leaders in the body of Christ and I think everyone ought to be trained as a leader.  Anyone is who a Fellow Worker with Kingdom League International is given access to this level in our Kingdom Academy. 

The Spiritual War College is for the more mature leader and deals with apostolic and prophetic issues.
