(Tim Taylor - October 19, 2020) Do you strain at a gnat and swallow a camel?  Then you might be a modern-day Pharisee!  

You see, we’ve entered into a period of time where the Church, nations and the world have been brought into a valley of decision.  A valley is a low point, and the analogy in Joel 3 speaks of a moral low point where PEOPLE’s decisions reveal the true condition of their heart. 

Hebrews 5:12-14 2 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Can you discern?  Can you decide?  Can you recognize good and evil? 

Or will you find yourself in Isaiah 5:20 where you become one of the ones who call evil good and good evil?  Or will you find yourself in the camp of the Pharisees, you know, the ones who Jesus accused in Matthew 23:24 of straining at a gnat while swallowing a camel because their attention to personal details in people’s lives blinded them to the weightier matters of justice, mercy and truth. 

True mercy can never exist without justice and justice can never really exist without truth.
​
In my last video I inserted a Pharisee detector.  I used a phrase to check to see if you were one who strained at a gnat while swallowing a camel.  I wanted to see if you were more offended by my phrase, “what the hell,”, or, if you were more offended because of laws which originated in hell were passed that encouraged the people to commit and abominations, which are acts which trigger a spiritual law that causes the very land to vomit the inhabitants out. 

In my lifetime I have never seen lying, hypocrisy and the incredible lack of judgment revealed in the pulpit as I have today.

Matthew 23:23-24 says:

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.  Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!

Today, many are hyper focused on President Trump’s personal behavior while they are blind to the “weightier matters” like Justice.  Justice cannot exist without truth.  True mercy cannot exist without true justice.  So, if you find yourself hyper focused on President Trumps personal behavior or focused on his behavior from 20 years before he received Christ, and you neglect facts like:

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, June 10, 2020:  Or we could call this "Discover Brilliant Solutions by Consulting the Creator of the Universe." The George Floyd case has been hijacked by various organizations and groups using witchcraft, lies, manipulation, and half-truths to play with the emotions of people serves as the context for these thoughts from God's word.  The goal of this article is help us view problems and solutions through a Biblical worldview.  That means God's word is used to frame the issues, not Islam, not Republicans, not Democrats, not any other religion and certainly not the major media of today.  Let us begin with some fundamental truths.

1.  My Personal Opinion Does Not Matter
The only one whose opinion matters is God's truth compared to your opinion.  Why?  Because one day each one of us will stand alone before Him to give an account of our life (Revelation 20:11).  Jesus said in Matthew 12:36-37 "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."  In John 12:47-48 7 He says, "And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day ."  

Our words will be compared to God's words.  He spoke first!  Therefore, it is up to us to compare our words and actions with His word.  Bottom line, you and I have to judge.  Do we choose to abide by and honor His word?  Or, will we choose to ignore His word. 

2. God is the Creator of the Universe
God knows how everything works.  He is the Creator.  The Bible He gave us is His operator's manual.  It describes how everything works and it describes the consequences for trying to operate life outside its design parameters.  In fact, there are actions which if taken can void the warranty if you know what I mean.  The cool thing is, if you choose to change your mind you, or repent, then you can also reinstate the eternal warranty.  Bottom line, God knows how the world works. He designed it.  Not me nor you!  

If you ever want a clear sign as to where Satan, the Devil, whose name in Greek, diablos, litterally means slander and false accuser, the one whom John 10:10 says comes to kill, steal and destroy, the same one whom John 8:44 reveals is the father of lies, stands on an issue, then look to those who practice witchcraft.   You can discern what God is up to and what Satan's goal is by watching what they curse or hex.  Understand that lying, cursing, slander and false accusation is his modus operandi.  It's just the way it works.   

What else do we learn from scripture?  Lawlessness and or the creation of unrighteous laws is a work of Satan (2 Thess 2:7) and Jesus wants no part of those who practice lawlessness (Matt. 7:23).  1 Samuel 15:23 reveals that:

"For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry...."  

You'll also find that witchcraft was practiced by those who sacrificed and murdered innocent children in 2 Chronicles 33:6.  In fact, you will find 12 scriptures that clearly indicate that those who practice witchcraft or sorcery are evil.  

So, whenever I look at an issue and witches get involved, it becomes blatantly obvious what Satan's goal is.  For example, witches agree with abortion which is blatantly contrary to God's word.  

Today, on June 5th witches around the world are using this supermoon to coordinate their efforts to curse President Trump and this nation.  If you want to understand Satan's goal and what God's solution is, watch what they curse. 

This is a call for all of God's holy apostles and prophets, the real gatekeepers to get to your post and proclaim God's word.  This is a call for the remnant Church to arise and stand in the gap and intercede.  We are not ignorant of the enemy's devices nor are we complacent.  Check out the alerts we sent out over the last two days through the 1Church1Day app for the full picture.  Here is a glimpse.  I urge you, pray. 

Alert!  Maria Brink's Call to Stand with Witches on June 5th's Super Moon Serves is a Sign! 

Tim Taylor - April 22, 2020:  The signs and wonders God gives never ceases to amaze me.  Last Monday hours before the first session of an 8 session series on "Developing Apostolic Resource Centres" hosted by Prophetic Communities in Australia I saw a prophetic word shared on Elijah List by James Goll.  It was titled "​As in the Days of Noah, Build and Ark of His Presence."  Then I found Patrica King had interviewed Jim just days before about this dream from which this word came from on Youtube.  Click The Days of Noah & Today with Patricia King and James Goll.  Go to the 18 to 22 minute mark as he refers to Noah and the blueprint.  

Why did that catch my attention?  It was because God in 2008 God spent 1.5 hours with me in my office where He showed me the blueprints.  He preceded that saying to me, "as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it before the coming of the Son of Man.  I had Noah build me an ark, but I want you to build me an ARC, an Apostolic Resource Center.  Only I don't want just an ARC, I want a fleet of ARCs."  Then I understood from my Naval background what He was saying.  

The ARC is a class of ships like the Arleigh Burke class of destroyers or the Nimitz class of aircraft carriers. God was restoring His "apostle-ships."  

So, in September 2008 we sent this card out to invite people to meetings where I shared what God showed me.  I've spent years after that discovering how to put the revelation into action based upon the love of God and informed by the wisdom of God with measurable, reproducible, supernatural results.   

On Feburary 24th, 2011 Kingdom League International was launched.  It is an ARC.  It provides the foundation for the strategy.  Without any planning on our part it just so happened to coincide with the launch of the space shuttle "Discovery."  In fact, on the last day of the Kingdom League Summit, about the time our prophetic presbytry entered into a time of prayer for the commissioning of the "Apostle Ship" the space shuttle Discovery docked with the International Space Station.  

During the 1st session, last Monday, my friend Ross, a seer whom I've known for years and was unaware of this series and that I'd be teaching for for Prophetic Communities about ARCs.   He was cleaning out his office and found this card from 12 years ago.  He texted it to me just as Carl, my host, was introducing me in the 1st session.  What are the odds?

The blueprints God gave me are incorporated within the ORT/1Church1Day strategy I've been equipping leaders with for years.  It's the key to the results produced.  

Was James Goll's prophetic word and Ross's text just a strange conicidence or do you think  God is trying to get our attention through His prophets, signs and wonders?  To me it's a huge sign that this training is so very timely!  So what do you think? 

Session 2 of 8 - Developing Apostolic Resource Centre's Details

Duty-bound is a concept which resides deep within me.  It was driven home during my service in the Navy.  It is based upon fundamental Biblical values of love and honor.  

It was used in this context.  I was "duty-bound" to obey all lawful orders.  

In fact, I took the following oath.  It's the oath officers in every branch of the United States military and civilians elected or appointed take as well.  Click here.   It says:

“I, _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God.”

Now, the enlisted soldier or sailor takes a similar oath which says "they will obey the order of":

“I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

That was the context.  We were duty bound to obey lawful orders.  But the question is, what does duty require when unlawful orders are given?  

Unlawful Orders

We are Tim Taylor April 10, 2020 -  Some have asked where this coronavirus, the Wuhan flu, Covid 19.... came from.  Regardless of its orgin, which I do believe the truth will come out in the near future, this I am sure of (Amos 3:7).  God knows how to take every situation and make "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."  Romans 8:28

One of the things God is doing is purifying His Church (see We are In the Furnace of Affliction).  He's using this situation to help us mature.  Hebrews 5:14 teaches us that this occurs when we learn to discern both good and evil.  

That's why I've posted this excerpt from worldmeters.info.  It reveals something about this current situation.  Please know that in my opinon the virus is a serious situation.  Why the Bible even provides guidance in Leviticus 13 as to how to isolate or quarantine sick people who could infect other people.

But this virus is not anywhere near as serious as the hyper-fear would have you believe and there are bad actors trying to take advantage of this situation to advance an unholy, unrighteous agenda.  I share these statistics to make just one point and that is, life and death are not really the primary issue nor is it the primary goal of those who drive the hyperfear narrative.   Note that I'm not saying that about everyone.  There are many noble civil servants laying their lives down for us.  We should be so grateful.  Here, I am emphasizing those whose motive is less than noble.  They have a hidden agenda.

The data cleary indicates that if life and death were really the motive,  our nation's attentions and resources would be redirected and prioritized elsewhere.  But that's not the case is it?  It's kind of like when the Democrat socialist focus on demonizing and legislating semi-automatic rifles, which they renamed assualt weapons, which is the firearm used the least number of crimes according to the FBI statistics (ie. average under 300 incidents per year in a nation of 350 million).  There are other firearms and weapons used in thousands of more crimes annually.  The point is, there is another agenda in play and it is about control.  

During our "Call to Pray for our Nation" over the last three weeks I've heard numerous prophetic voices raise great concern over the counsel being given to President Trump.  We began to pray about his administration's counselors. Then Jeremiah Johnson and other prophets like him had dreams or visions of rats in the White House.  For example, click here for Trump Warning Prophecy; Rat in the White House.   1 Corinthians 13:9 says we know in part and prophesy in part.  Amos 3:7 says God does nothing unless He reveals it to His servants the prophets.  So, when unknown prophets on the Call to Pray for our Nation, and well known prophets in our nation begin to speak the same thing, we take note.  The question is, how does God want us to respond? 

King David & God's Promise of Sure Mercy Gives Insight into How to Pray
For an in depth understanding of the "Sure Mercies of David" I highly recommend you get Al Houghton, my mentor and dear friends book.  Click here. 

When the nation of Israel in 2 Samuel 15 faced an overthrow of its government we find King David praying "O Lord, I pray, turn the counsel of Athithophel into foolishness," in 2 Samuel 15:31.   In verse 34 King David then sends another counselor to "defeat the counsel of Ahithophel."  What can we learn from this example?
