By Tim Taylor November 7, 2021 -  Romans 12:21 says, "do not be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good." Here's the real challenge, almost 90% of the body of Christ today has never even read through the Bible one time.

The truth is, they are susceptible to every wind of doctrine and the cunning craftiness, deceitful plotting and trickery of men (Ephesians 4:14). Most have no idea what the Bible really calls evil nor what the Bible actually says is good.

In this short YouTube video click here, I share what God's word says about lying. It is evil. Clearly! Well, at least it is clear in the Bible. But if you look at how rampant it is in American society today then you discover how deviated our moral compass is. Did you know that God's word says in 1 John 3:8 that for this purpose was the Son of God manifested, to destroy the works of the evil one? How you destroy the works of the evil one? Obviously with truth.

There are consequences for speaking the truth. Jesus reveals the price in John 7:7 where He says the world hated Him because He testified of their evil works. At the same time In John 8:32 He reveals that truth sets people free. In other words, there is great reward too.

Our time on earth is short, eternity is forever. There are eternal consequences for our choices/decisions/judgments today. I choose to live with a view towards eternity. That is wisdom. How about you?

Tim Taylor June 23, 2021 - Recently in "Is There Not a Cause" I provided background for the conflict we find ourselves in called the "Great Reset."  I see it as just the latest version of Revelation 12 and Daniel 7:25.  It's the conflict that spilled from heaven to earth and it is part of Satan's attempts to change times and laws through his people.  This conflict, this Great Reset with all of its collateral components which include but are not limited to things like the pandemic, the socialist agenda of nations, BLM, ANTIFA, Climate Change, Transgenderism, the LGBTQ agenda, Critical Race Theory, stealing elections, violating First Amendment rights, hijacking the Civil Rights Movement, overtaking schools to use as their bully pulpits for socialism, controlling the narrative of major media.... sets the stage for a spiritual battle in every jurisdiction from the city to the nation.  

This is our situation.  This is our valley of decision! 

It is the responsibility and heaven's mandate for God's people to pray, proclaim and act to see His will done on earth as it is in heaven.   Just as David rose to meet the giant of his day, I believe there is a people like him, a Davidic generation, a remnant Church who'll arise and proclaim as King David did in Psalm 17:1, "Hear a just cause O Lord and attend to my cry.  Give ear to my prayer which is not from deceitful lips."  This scripture is the inspiration for "Operation Just Cause."

For the last two months we've been working with teams of apostolic and prophetic leaders who are engaged in the government, business, and church spheres.  Our intention was to discover what was God's word and His will concerning His ecclesia's role in this Great Reset.  

Here's what we Discovered! 

By Tim Taylor June 22, 2021 - That is what David said in 1 Samuel 17:29 when the Philistine's champion, Goliath, was facing down the armies of Israel. He came to the camp, saw how the armies of Israel were frozen by fear and he spoke up.  His brothers were angered, most likely through embarrassment, to which David appealed to a higher purpose saying, "is there not a cause?" 

Did you know 1 Samuel 17:4 is the first place in the Bible where we see the word champion used.  "And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath...."  The champion was huge, a descendant of the Nephilim.  The offspring of fallen angel's interaction with women.  He represented the peoples of five cities who united together to overthrow Israel's government.  Fear, great fear, gripped the armies of the living God.

The Philistines don't exist anymore, but there is an alliance of nations and world leaders.  They are usually of socialist origins, with elites such as George Soros or Bill Gates, organizations such as the World Economic Forum (WEF), the United Nations (UN), the World Health Organization (WHO), families who've controlled great wealth for centuries such as the Rothschilds or Rockefellers, bankers and others who want to control the worlds resources just like the Philistines wanted to control and lord over Israel.  They are an unholy cabal; giant influencers on the world stage. 

They will use terms like the New World Order, globalism or now, the Great Reset.  In a recent youtube Kynan Bridges  in "The Great Wealth Transfer and the Global Economic Reset" describes how the elites were beginning to lose some of their wealth and control and it was their intention to use the Great Reset to regain their control over the wealth.  But here is a key.  God has a great transfer of wealth planned to.  God's plan existed first and Satan and his children have always sought to pervert or stop God's plan and His people.  The transfer of wealth is for God's purpose and a great end-time harvest.

It's like the Philistines have come up against Israel again today.  Only it is the global elites who have coined the phrase the "Great Reset" and their champion, like Goliath, is the World Economic Forum (WEF).  The WEF is where world powers, the giants of industry, and global elites meet to plan our future.  

Here's what I mean. In WEF's article "COVID 19: The Four Building Blocks of the Great Reset," they say they want to 1. Change your mindset.  2. Create new metrics. 3. Design new Incentives. 4. Build genuine connection.   Then they go on to state their real intention with this question.  "What is the World Economic Forum Doing to Champion Social Innovation."  

The WEF has become the global elite's champion in this Great Reset like Goliath was the Philistine's champion.  It seems like much of the Church is paralyzed by fear due to the size and power of these global elites. 

Think about it.  They only want you to change your mind.  Social innovation.  They want to brain wash you to accept a worldview that is contrary to God's values and word.  For example, consider these articles from their website which illustrates their worldview on family, abortion, or sexuality.  ​

• Three Ways Businesses Can Support LGBT Refugees in the Workplace 
• Women Mobilise Against US Abortion Crack Down
• Evidence is Clear on Benefits of Legalizing Same Sex Marriage 
• Bill Gates has a warning about population growth
• George Soros Agenda Contributor to the WEF

Do You Want More Evidence?

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!  

By Tim Taylor, March 5, 2020 -  40+ MILLION souls have been impacted.  I'm going to share with you the effect of God's abiding presence on the harvest by looking at two ministers in two different nations who have see similar results.  It's my sincerest hope and desire that other ministers would choose to adopt the 1Church1Day strategy which is a modern application of an ancient blue print first modeled by King David on Mount Zion. 

Andrew Murray was a missionary who served in South Africa and transformed the Dutch Reformed Church and was a forerunner in the Pentacostal movement. He wrote a powerful book called "With Christ in the Ministry of Prayer."  His passion for God's presence impactred many. 

Andrew said, "the man who mobilizes the Church to pray will make the greatest contribution to world evangelism in history."

Recently we've seen reports from India and Myanmar that illustrate how the catalytic strategy based upon the restoration of David's tabernacle has modeled by our departed Andrew Murray said.  The results are amazing and still going on.

Now, I know there are many other churches and ministries praying.  But, what highlights both of these nations was the impact it was having on not only salvations but also in the government mountain.  Both nations made history has a Christian was installed either at a state or vicepresident level and these were areas that were specifically targeted in prayer.  The articles linked below share more of those details. It's a testimony I shared this past Sunday in Oregon.

As I ministered at New Life in Milwaukie Oregon this past weekend, Pastor Ed challenged me to get a calculator out and figure out how many people were actually impacted. I'm humbled and amazed to see the vision and expecation we had actually manifesting.  I'm going to share about two different nations where ministers chose to use the same strategy and produced similar results. 

• Since 1Church1Day was introduced in India they've seen the Christian population grow from 2.5% to 5.8%.  In the source article it notes that some places, like Andhra Pradesh are leading the way.  This is the state whom a young minister I mentored has used 1Church1Day to establish the India Prayer League.  They have 45 churches today using the 1Church1Day strategy which is just a modern appliation of the strategy King David used in his tabernacle.  This 3.3% growth in the last 10 years translates to more than 39,600,000!  That's more than thirty nine MILLION souls.  That's huge and an example of Andrew Murray's quote.   Click here for the source article.
•  In Myanmar where I've mentored Dr. Kawl since 2006 they used the strategy to launch MT Horeb Prayer Center with seven denominations cooperating together.  They to have seen similar results.  The Christian population has grown from 4% to 6% of the population.  In a nation of 54 million that equates to 1,080,000.  Praise God!  Isn't that awesome.   Click here for the source article. 

What's the common thread?  Ministers and churches using a strategy inspired by King David.  See what the scriptures say. 

Over the years I've discovered several keys to building our Father's house of prayer.  But today I am going to share a key that I've never seen addressed.  It has to do with the role of the kings and priests.  It's based upon a pattern King David first modeled.  It's the blue print for our strategy.  By 2012 leaders from over 38 nations had reported it had been responsible for establishing 31 houses of prayer from which 40+ churches were birthed.  However, there have been hundreds if not thousands of places  un-impacted because the did not follow the pattern. 

I'm going to share it today and risk offending you because I love my heavenly Father, I love His Church, His people, and the world. David's pattern is the key to the end time harvest of souls.  So with that in mind...

Every reformer in scripture followed King David's plan for inviting God's abiding presence on MT Zion.  What King David did on Zion in his tabernacle provides us the keys.  It is the pattern and that is why God says through Acts 15:16-17 that in the latter days David's tabernacle would be restored.  What is the purpose?  So that the rest of mankind can seek the Lord.   

Who are some of the reformers?  Solomon, Asa, Josiah, Ezra, Nehemiah and Hezekiah!  What is the pattern?  

Kings Initiated the Building of God's House!
The pattern begins with kings, not priests, who initiate building the house of God.  King David's first decision as king was to invite God's abiding presence through 24/7 prayer, praise and worship (1 Chronicles 13:1-2).  That decision included the king inviting other leaders to join him. The priests were charged with overseeing the building of this house of prayer and the kings and leaders gave first to this effort.  In other words, they put their money where their mouth was. There was action behind their words that God and men could see.

In 2 Samuel 6 we find his David's first attempt failed as they began with music and moving the Ark of the Covenant (type of God's presence) on a new cart.  Uzzah died when he touched the ark so the move of God had to stop.  It spent 3 months in Obededum's house before David discovered the proper way.  

David discovered that the ark had to be carried on the shoulders of the Levites which are a type of the fivefold ministry today (this topic is addressed in "Addressing the Issue of Pay to Pray).  The next key was modeled in 2 Samuel 6:13. They took six paces and then sacrificed offerings. 

Offerings are worship and one of the important signs of covenant to God from man.  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.  The passion for God's presence will be reflected in your giving of time and your monies.  These actions reflect what is really in your heart.  Jesus says in John 15:13 that greater love has no one than this, than to lay his life down for his friends.  Then Jesus proceeded to the cross.  He love and He gave.  Bottom line, love gives their life and this includes time and money. 

Someone shared with me about a ministry concept that involved a team of ministers who would offer a "courts of heaven session" which I assume meant they'd interceded upon someone's behalf and utilize their gifts to hear what God's decision was and then then pray, declare or proclaim in response to that to the word of the Lord.  This kind of ministry has actually been offered for centuries through those with a prophetic gift.  Only in the last two decades has intercession begun to be explained from a courts of heaven perspective.  I believe it is part of the manifold wisdom of God being revealed in this day.  It's a new look at an old discipline from a different perspective.

Candidly, I distinctly remember God speaking to me about this concept in the early 2000s and the ORT/1Church1Day prayer strategy incorporates that revelation. In the strategy continual prayer, praise and worship seats the courtroom of heaven so you can come and plead your case and await to hear God's decision.  Now, back to the purpose of this article.

As I recall, they said something to the effect that there was a fee and that it just did not seem right to them.  They were uncomfortable with it as it seemed like they were charging for prayer.  It seemed like "pay to pray."  

When they asked me about it I had to qualify my answer because I did not have time to address this subject and cover all the bases.  You see, I was hearing things second hand and I did not have all of the information.  I did not know the motive of the ministers nor how things were actually being handled.  But I can tell you the way it was presented did not sound good to me either. 

It caused me to remember prosperity ministers who would use manipulation and violate trust in order to get more for themselves kind of like Eli's sons did in 1 Samuel 2:38-30.  Eli's sons took the very best for themselves.  Their greed defiled the altar.  Greed is typically accompanied by compromise and manipulation.  Why Paul even warns in 1 Timothy 6:5 that in the last days corrupt men would seek to use godliness as a means of gain.  But let me be clear, I do not know if that was the motive of the ministers offering the service.  It was the statement of "pay to pray" that inspired that the thought.  (Click here for Purifying the Altar.  This book impacted my thoughts about the minister's responsibilities years ago.)

The Bible is also clear that the the giver has responsibilities as well.  It is possible for the worshiper to have wrong motives and which is manifested when they try to use their offering to manipulate God or the ministry.  It's one thing to appeal to God's covenant exercising your faith but it is quite another to resort to a formula devoid of relationship with God.  This often descends into a form of witchcraft if left unchecked over time.  Galatians 5:9 teaches us that faith works by love while James 2:20 teaches us that faith without works is dead.  

Why we had a donor just weeks ago attempt to do that very thing.  They thought the could use their large offering they gave months before as leverage to manipulate our ministry into compromise.  Here's the truth.  

Do you know what KLI did?  Why we gave the offering back with a stern warning to never ever do that again. It was a  defiled offering which could lead to a defiled altar had we allowed it to lead us to compromise. 

The reason I am focusing on offerings and worship is because I have found this to be one of the consistent keys to answered prayer.  It has to do with honor and covenant.  You see, God is seeking those who will worship Him "in spirit and in truth."  

The Goal is to Hit the Mark!
Our adversary the devil seeks to make people sin.  People includes the ministers who are responsible for the altar and everyone else. Satan seeks weaknesses to exploit.  Sin literally means to miss the mark.  I don't care if you go to far to the right, or to far to the left, or to low or to high these all miss the mark.  The goal is to hit the bullseye.  

Personally, I like to use the term "hit the mark."  God's word is my standard and defines the mark.  In my worldview, the Creator of the Universe designed all natural and spiritual laws.  The Bible is like the manufacturer's warranty and owner operators manual.  It describes how things work and what will happen if I operate life within the parameters of the Creator's design and what the consequences are of operating outside of designed parameters.  

Candidly, I have found that tithes, offerings, first-fruits and alms speak to the four basic types of giving in the Bible.  These are signs of a people keeping covenant with God.  With each form of giving you will find God gives the worshiper a covenant promise to go with it.   The reason I share this is because I've discovered that when handled rightly, these are some of the important keys to answered prayer which I've observed over the last twenty seven years in ministry.

Here are the challenges we face: imperfect people, ignorance, mis-understandings, demonic influence.... and the list goes on.  Our goal is to hit the mark.  

God's word says in Acts 15:16-17 and in Amos 9:11-13 that in the latter days God would rebuild David's tabernacle and set it up so the rest of mankind could seek the Lord.  The restoration of David's tabernacle is the key to the end time harvest.

Now, when I say David's tabernacle, I'm not talking about the literal tabernacle.  You see the main thing was not the tent as much as it was what King David did to make God's abiding presence welcome on MT Zion, in the city of Jerusalem in Israel.  He tasked the Levites, who are a type of the five-fold ministry, with the responsibility or organizing teams of people to offer up continual prayer, praise and worship.  By continual I mean 24/7/365 prayer, praise and worship.

Why?  Because David and the leaders determined in 1 Chronicles 13:2, that God's abiding presence was essential to their success and survival.  Therefore, they sought to make God's presence welcome by recreating the atmosphere of heaven on earth through continual prayer, praise and worship.  

God's plan is for His house to be a house of prayer for all nations.  

Isaiah 56:7
Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar;
For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”

The house of prayer is God's vision.  I sincerely believe that what David did his tabernacle on MT Zion was the blue print for this house of prayer.  That's what 1Church1Day is all about.  Mobilizing, coordinating, facilitating teams of teams such that continual prayer, praise and worship is offered up in a city, region, county, state or nation. 

Three Critical Elements Found in David's Pattern 

1. The king and the leaders both civil and religious decided God's presence was absolutely essential.  1 Chronicles 13:2
2. The whole process was kicked off and maintained with extravagant worship.  2 Samuel 6:13
3. The first thing the King did once it was set up is he delivered his first Psalm to Asaph.  1 Chronicles 16:7

In Hebraic culture kings and elders sat in the gates and made decisions with prophets giving God's counsel.  Elders consisted of civil and religious leaders.  These leaders decided to bring back God's presence. 

The second part of these three critical elements I rarely emphasize but it is a vital part.  In 2nd Samuel 6 David begins to bring back the ark of the God on a new cart.  They are thousands of people along with lots of instruments, singing etc. But it did not work as when the ox stumbled Uzzah put out his hand to steady the ark.  He died.  David had to leave the ark of the Lord in the house of Obed-Edom for three months until they had consulted the Lord on the right way to handle God's presence.  

We find two things in 1 Chronicles 15 and 2 Samuel 6:13-18.  First, the ark of the Lord had to be carried on the shoulders of the Levites.  The second thing that was missing was offerings.  David began the second successful attempt with offerings.  

This article was first published on Kingdom League's old blog in 2011.  I'm re-posting it here because 1Church1Day is the same strategy as ORT.  It's just a different name and the lessons learned are still true 14 years later.  ​

It’s been over six years since God spoke to me on December 14, 2004 about the Operation Rolling Thunder (ORT) strategy.  I spoke that strategy first to three leaders.  It is October 5, 2011 today.  I quit trying to keep up with all the statistics in participation in 2009. It became overwhelming.  By then we'd seen leaders in 23+ nations and over 10,000+ churches participate.  At last count leaders in 34+ nations have utilized this strategy to mobilize and deploy the body of Christ to engage the seven spheres of society and to establish 24/7/365 prayer in a city or region.

Proven Results
Recently our National CONECTer in Kenya, Pastor Thomas and our National CONECTer in Myanmar, Apostle John Mark provided me an updated report.  Between these two updated reports we discovered that there are churches from 21+ denominations, in 35 cities, with over 61 churches working together, 25 city prayer centers launched, and 19 church plants between them.  Neither time nor space permits me to share the supernatural signs, salivations, water baptisms, and healings that they report as well.

Corporate intimacy with our heavenly Father produces supernatural corporate fruit.  Operation Rolling Thunder (ORT) is a strategy going strong and serving those who utilize the wisdom of God's strategy found in it.  At the same time I could point to numerous examples where the strategy seemingly only worked for a short time or failed.

Lessons Learned
After 6+ years of overseeing ORT, training and consulting with ministers, mayors, state representatives, fire chiefs, business leaders, doctors, etc. I've learned some lessons about that is takes to begin to transform and continue that transformation process long term.  In fact, I will share some common characteristics and lessons learned from churches, cities, counties and states where in we see long term results that we'd all agree speak to some level of transformation (ie. decreasing crime, church growth, economy effected, abortion rates decline, adoption rates rise, etc.).

We are thrilled and rejoicing with the One Hope Team in Lane County Oregon!  They now have 45 churches praying every month with 10 strategic councils providing direction to their 24/7 prayer. 

One Hope was founded by Steve and Patti Bus.  Here's their leadership team today click here.  They launched 1Church1Day in May 2015 click here wherein God marked their Kick Off with some amazing signs and wonders just like you see in my book Operation Rolling Thunder.  They say 225 lightning strikes followed by 5 earthquakes. 

What I've found over the years is that when God's people obey His voice, they make "His-story" (history) and sometimes God chooses to put His signature (sign-nature) on that page of history.  I've learned He does this to encourage His people to continue until they see measurable results such as:

March 17, 2019 - Answers to Prayer Produced through 44 Churches who do 1Church1Day in Lane County OR!
March 22, 2017 - City Manager says "What we see are answers to prayer, not just serendipitous acts!
March 22, 2017 - 1Church1Day Testimony - Record Low Employment!
