By Tim Taylor December 26, 2021 - The parable of the talents in Matthew 25 teaches us a powerful lesson about Christmas. The question is, what will you do with the gifts, dreams and vision God has given you?

Les Brown said, “The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.”

Discover in this short video what God has been revealing about our gifts and how it speaks to our purpose and destiny.  The question is, what is hindering you from pursuing your dreams and vision?  Do you want to hear "well done you good and faithful servant?" "Enter into the joy of the Lord?"  I do.  How about you?  

Did you know that is a good thing? Is God really glorified when we do well? Discover what Jesus revealed in John 15 and Matthew 25. You'll be amazed.  Click here for "Is God really glorified when we do well?"

By Tim Taylor on Christmas Eve eve 2021 - It is the day before Christmas Eve and I was meditating this morning on the incredible love our heavenly Father demonstrated when He gave His Son, Jesus Christ.  It's the truth God has demonstrated since creation began, and that is, love gives.  As I contemplated the miraculous birth of Christ, I found a marvelous article written by Empower International titled, "The Mathematical Probability that Jesus is the Christ."  I refer to several quotes from their article in my video "What are the Mathematical Odds that Jesus Would Fulfill all 456 Prophetic Words in Scripture?" click here. 

As I contemplated how love gives and how Romans 12, Ephesians 4 and 1 Corinthians 12 talk about the gifts our Father, Son and Holy Spirit gave I stumbled on a powerful revelation.  It stems from the Greek word the NKJV translated "spiritual gifts" in 1 Corinthians 12.  As the revelation unfolds we find an amazing correlation between the Greek word pnematikios and pneumatic tools.  The tools are awesome, as long as they are connected to an air compressor. 

It's the same with the gifts of God.  Unless they are connected to the pneuma (Holy Spirit), they are powerless.  What does this teach us?  

1. The gifts are important but nowhere near as important as our relationship with the gift giver.  
2. Your destiny and purpose are connected to the way God gifted you.
3. You are meant to be an expression of God's love. 
4. God chose to have relationship with you and I, but it is up to us to choose to have a relationship with Him.
5. At the 17 minute mark Tim has a special Christmas message for the KLI Family, Tribe, Fellow Workers and the Church.  

Merry Christmas and I strongly encourage you to listen to this video.  It underscores the miraculous birth in a way that is rarely expressed.  Click here. 

By Tim Taylor December 17, 2021 - I have a friend, Dr. Jay Grimstead.  He's in his late 80s now but his passion, fire, zeal and love for our Lord is still just as hot as it was when he began to serve the Lord.  He was a co-laborer with Dr. Francis Schaeffer.  Dr. Schaeffer was one of the pioneers who prepared the way in many respects for what we've come to recognize as the seven-mountain message of this day.  They were calling for reformation then.  

The reason I introduced Dr. Grimstead here is that in 1986 he along with other national evangelical leaders in the US took prophetic action at the Lincoln Memorial in response to the evils of their day.    You'll find all the details in "The Manifesto for the Christian Church" which laid out a call for humility and repentance as well as a call to action by the Church on July 4, 1986.  

As I reviewed this historical event, I recognized the situation in our nation and in the Church was different than it is today, while at the same time, it was the same.  While the issues and people are different, the root causes of evil were the same.  It's the same spiritual war that spilled from heaven to earth in Revelation 12.  The Truth is also the same.  He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).  He, Jesus Christ who is also the Word made flesh (John 1:1).  He is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). 

With this in mind, I wanted to share The Manifesto for the Christian Church.  Click here.  They used this at the Lincoln Memorial.  I urge you to look at the call for humility, repentance, and contrition, as well as reviewing their declarations and call to action.  The work is as apostolic as it was prophetic.  

Truly we live in a time where evil grows darker while the number of lights seems to diminish.  Note I did not say the light seemed to fade.  On the contrary I see the light getting brighter and brighter (Isaiah 60:1-3).  I said the "number" of lights seemed to diminish.  It reminds me of Gideon and the 300.  There is a remnant Church arising at this time.  

A Call to Action for Courageous Leaders

I encourage you to personally review, pray and act in accordance with the leading of our Lord.  Then be like a herald.  Run with the message to leaders in your community. I hope and pray pastors and ministers who read this will prayerfully consider hosting an assembly in the first quarter of 2022 to:

1. Pray
2. Covenant with our heavenly Father
3. Determine how the Church is called to engage the evils of this day within their respective jurisdictions with not only prayer but faith in action based on God's love and informed by His wisdom.  
   1. Dr. Grimstead presents a vision for Statewide Gideon Reformation Teams click here.  You'll note that in Dr. Jay's call to action, he is encouraging leaders to utilize the 1Church1Day strategy to mobilize prayer and form strategic councils with leaders representing all 7 spheres of society.

by Tim Taylor December 12, 2021 - 1 Corinthians 12:1 says in the NKJV that "Now concerning spiritual gifts brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant."  The word gifts was added to provide context.  It actually does not exist in the Greek.  It is more properly translated. "Now concerning spirituals brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant."  

With this Christmas season as a backdrop, I explore gifts and spirituals and how that word was never used until AFTER Pentecost.  It's directly associated with Holy Spirit and it illustrates how God wants to each person to become like a gate, a door or a portal through which to manifest heaven on earth.  Discover how and click How to Manifest Spiritual Gifts! 

By Tim Taylor - December 9, 2021 - For those who follow us you know we don't often ask for money.  Here's the truth.  We don't need your money.  God does not "NEED" your money either.  Psalm 55:10 makes that oh so clear.  It says all of the beasts of the field as well as the cattle on a thousand hills belong to God.  Earlier in that same chapter it says out of Zion, and Zion was the location of David's tabernacle, where 24/7 prayer, praise and worship were offered, the perfection of beauty will shine forth.  

God does not NEED us to give Him anything.  But the way mankind was designed, WE NEED to worship.  Everyone worships something or someone.  Many years ago, my idol was sports.  Do you know how you could tell?  It was because I sacrificed my life (time, money, blood, sweat and tears) for it.  Candidly, I was trying to fill a hole that only God could fill. 

I challenge you, go through the Bible and count how many times whenever people approached God, they prayed, they interceded or asked God for help, that they brought and offering.  The number of times is HUGE.  

You can tell what someone worships because that will be their treasure.  Jesus said in Luke 12:34 that where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.  How do you measure treasure today?  Time and money!   You can tell what you worship by counting where you spend your time and money.  You can tell what the priority of your heart is.  

Today you can tell what we worship just by looking at where we spend out time and our money compared to other things.  We don't give because we have to anymore either.  We do so because we want to.  We do so out of love and gratitude for our heavenly Father.  We also worship with wisdom.  What I mean by that is, we understand how God's kingdom works.  There are four basic categories of giving and there is a covenant promise associated with each one.  

​​This morning when I woke, I heard the Lord encourage me to give you (those who receive our newsletter) an opportunity to worship Him.  Why?  Because we are a pure altar.  Jesus teaches us in Matthew 23 how important a pure altar is.  It is one of the keys to the covenant being kept.  1 Kings 13 illustrate how when people worship at an impure altar, they worshipper also partakes of the impurity.  A pure altar will not operate in greed, manipulation, permit habitual sin nor exercise poor stewardship.  

Here's the truth.  KLI does not need your money or your stuff.  But you need to worship, and we are a pure altar.  That's a blessing to the giver.  There are three things we encourage everyone to practice when worshipping through your giving.  First, follow the pattern established in Deuteronomy where six times we find this concept.  We are to take our tithes and offerings where "God chooses to make His name abide."  So, the first criteria is that you ask our heavenly Father.  Where does He want you to bring your tithe, firstfruit or offering?  

By Tim Taylor on December 7, 2021 - It strikes me that today is the day we remember the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.  Led us our nation into World War II.  Today is so similar yet different.  It is similar in that we are in a world war currently and our focused area of operation is Washington State.  It is different in that the weapons are fear, a virus, the media, laws, policies, supply chains, so called activist groups who act like the Nazi's Brownshirts, economics vice bombs, bullets and soldiers.  

There are deaths and casualties, and the goal is the same.  It is the control of people groups and nations.  

It is spiritual war and a culture war which I warned the Church about for years.  It's a war that spilled from heaven to earth in Revelation 12 and the socialist Left's (government, elites, foundations, WHO, UN, media, etc..) agenda aligns on every moral Biblical issue completely contrary to God's word.  This current Democrat socialist Left administration who gave this governor a dictatorship through the horrible legislation they created in the "Emergency Powers Act," (one of the three worst in the US according to a liberal Seattle Times article) also expresses policies that is contrary to God's word as it pertains to marriage, individual identity, life, and liberty.  

My point is this state is our AOR (Area of Responsibility) and it is up to us to declare the decree of what God said (Psalm 2:6).  That's why we inquire of leaders from the 7 spheres of society each month.  We seek to see our Father's will prayed and also acted upon.  With this in mind we invite you to pray and proclaim with us.

By Tim Taylor December 6, 2021 - Last Friday we hosted the Holy Spirit & the Harvesters in the Great Awakening Conference.  Steve and Joan Driessen from Carry the Fire and Lisa McFarland from Warring Dove International served as our primary speakers.  We also heard some amazing testimonies of healings, salvations and Baptism in the Holy Spirit from Carl Krames and a miraculous testimony of how Troy Green's granddaughter was healed of a non-curable inoperable brain tumor.  It's doctor verified with MRIs.  Check it out.
