By Tim Taylor, May 21, 2020 - As I was praying and contemplating this pandemic and considering the fear that has gripped most of the Church I heard, 1 Samuel 17:26...For who is this uncircumcised Philistine....  That's what David said of Goliath who's threats had paralyzed all of Israel with fear. 

Immediately, I heard it not as a question but rather a statement.  WHO, is this uncircumcised Philistine!

W.H.O. the World Health Organization's role in this current pandemic came to mind. At the start, they became the voice of this pandemic. There are people who are using WHO just like the Philistines used Goliath to incite fear so they could control Israel.  This virus is an instrument of fear being used just like the descendent of the Nephilim, Goliath, was being used by the Philistine government.  It's about using fear to control a population.

But this situation turned out to be the very scenario which set the stage for the real king to come forth.  The one who had the heart of our heavenly Father and whose heart God had.  I think the stage has been set for a people to emerge who carry the heart of the Father just like King David did.  We are about to see the army of the Lord emerge in great power.  It reminds of Joel 2:2-3 which says: 

A people come, great and strong,
The like of whom has never been;
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations.
A fire devours before them,
And behind them a flame burns;

That fire is the love of God.  It's the fire that purfies the hearts of men and sanctifies their motives.  It's like the fire that fell on Pentecost in Acts 2.  There is a people coming forth like whom the world has never seen.  

I learned in the Navy War College why armies exist.  They exist to project power to enforce the will of the government they represent.  Jesus taught us to pray, Lord, let your kingdom come and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. This army, the Lord' army will burn with a passion for His presence and will be captured by God's love for the lost. 

The enemy of our souls, Satan, has captured the minds of many through a false governmental philosophy which has sought to use this giant pandemic to advance their cause through the use of hyper-fear. Ultimately, their goal is control. They can only fulfill that desire if God's people are either destroyed or paralyzed with fear just like the nation of Israel was when Goliath stood unopposed by a David. 

Lord, where is the Davidic Generation? 
How should we respond?  I submit just like David did.  He starts with question in 1 Samuel 17:26, "Is there not a cause?"  David was referring to the word, the history of what God had spoken.  He took the word and then he acted by meeting the threat head on with the word, his words, saying "your servant has killed both the lion and this bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God."  David went on to describe how God would deliver him.  Then David put his faith into action and ran and met the threat. 

Dealing with this threat requires the truth be proclaimed followed by actions based on the love of God and informed by His wisdom.  David sets the example illustrating that defeating the Goliath of his day began by proclaiming the truth.  So that is where we will start. 

By Apostle Charlene Allen, Wisdom MInistries International, May 8, 2020 - Charlene was on our Call to Pray for our Nation yesterday when we first heard of the murder of Ahmaud Arbery.  As she was prayed an anointing came upon her and I asked her if she'd write something for us to inspire and challenge the Church to pray and act.  She poured out her heart through her pen saying:

How memories, for some, are realities for others…

Some remember how America fought for Independence while others live with the realities of their struggles for independence.

Some remember how America had a Civil War while others live with the realities of their struggles in a civil war.

Some remember how America fought for Segregation while others live with the realities of their struggles with segregation.

The dogs biting at the feet of one running from a slave owner or a water hose sprayed on a child sitting on a curb outside a store with a sign that read “For Whites Only” has been replaced by bullets tearing the heart out of youth or “responsible citizens” beating a boy for riding a bike or running a marathon because the upright citizen was protecting their neighborhood from a “thief”.

The thought that one mother can be proud of her son buying a new care because he worked and earned it brings fear to another mother whose son buys a new car because he will be stopped for being in a stolen vehicle or “popped” because there is no way this vehicle could ever belong to someone who looks like you.

Why does skin tone or gender determine the worth of a child?

Why does the color of skin automatically place a person in a political party or economic class?

How can a rip in one child’s jeans mean poverty, while for another child, a rip means wealth and prestige?

Why must a mother of one son fear her child riding across America alone while another mother’s son can be excited about the adventure he will have?

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 says (emphasis mine), "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled."

The Greek word translated "war" means to "execute the apostolate."  Apostolate literally means the "office of apostle."  The word translated "warfare" comes from the Greek word that means "apostolic career."  The word translated "thought" is the same word used in 2 Corinthians 2:11 which says, "lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices." 

The word translated devices, means a perception, or the intellect, or a device, mind, or thought.  Now that.... is revealing! 

The real warfare begins in our mind and in our thoughts.  Second, Satan's goal is to trip up our thinking. He does this by setting traps in our thoughts and minds and God gave us the apostolic gift specifically, to help with our strategic thinking.  Satan's goal is to blow up God's plans in people's lives while Jesus calls us to follow Him and Jesus' purpose is to destroy th works of the enemy (1 John 3:8). 

Satan's devices are like the IED's (improvised explosive devices) used by Islamic terrorists to kill, maim and destroy using great violence or the threat of violence to intimidate and manipulate a people to comply with their wishes.  Unbridled fear is a very useful tool for the devil and his children.

Paul's admonition in 2 Timothy 1:7 gives insight into how to guard against unbridled fear.  He says, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."  God did not give us a "spirit of fear."  But He has given us love perfect love which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).  He's also given us power and the ability and the choice, to develop a disciplined thought life.  When we do that we can pull down strongholds, arguments and every proud that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. 

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

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?

By Tim Taylor 2/9/2020 - I meet regularly with legislators, citizens and ministers who serve in our state's capitol. Recently some shared their eye witness reports of occutic activity being practiced in the halls of the capitol and noted the intersection between some legislation and sex trafficking. 

There was an emphasis on sex traffickers engaging the occult. Why?  It's because they want to hide their evil activities.  Think about it.  They seek to use the unbridled lust of some people and their power to exploit the young, the weak and the vulnerable so as to enslave a generation for profit.  It's about power and control motivated by selfish greed. 

This is an example of a spiritual war being waged in the family, government, healthcare, education, media and business mountains.  This spiritual war is also a cultural war.  

I'm happy to report that law makers have recognized this activity at its roots is a spiritual war.  If you want a modern example where the occult interacts with government then I'd just point you to this January 7, 2020 invitation to join "Witches Against Trump: Details on our 2020 Spell Casting Social Mixer."   I've witnessed meetings like this since 2017. Have you ever seen witches covens around the world band together in order to curse a president quarterly with a death curse?   Neither have I.  

Spiritual War in the Seven Mountains of Society
This should not come as a surprise as we see in Acts 13:8 that Elymas was a sorcerer who sought to influence a government official and to stop the gospel of the kingdom from being introduced to a whole region.  This illustrates a spiritual war that is being played out in both the "Religious" and the "Government" mountains of spheres of a society.  

It's not a new battle.  It's been going on since Revelation 12 where the angels of God expelled Satan and his fallen angels from heaven to earth.  These demonic forces have joined Satan to go and make war with the people on the earth who obey God's commands and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

At the core it is a war over truth.  The war occurs when lies are introduced contrary to the truth (Click for We've Entered the Valley of Decision).  The issue at hand are the souls of men and women and their eternal destiny in heaven or in hell.  This is serious.  Very serious don't you think? 

One of the reasons that evil people with evil agendas seek to use the occult is because they want to hide their activities in the dark.  They want to keep their secret agenda and tactics hidden.  If these are exposed they resort to using slander, lies, deceit ect... to keep their true goals hidden and the issues confused.  Satan loves confusion and confusion is one of the fruits of demonic activity.  This impacts all seven mountains of society.  For example:

by Tim Taylor, February 7, 2020.  The prophet Joel warns that the "day of the Lord" is coming.  He says it is a day of darkness and gloominess.  He says it is a terrible day.  Yet in the midst of this dark time there is a people who come forth like of whom the world has never seen.  It is the army of the Lord.  These are the ones who heed the voice of the Lord.  In Joel 3:12 and 14 the prophet says that God is bringing  everyone to a valley.  It's a valley of judgment and it is also called the valley of decision. 

Situations are occuring every day which brings each one of us to a place where we have to decide what to do. A decision is a judgment.  The question is, whose judgment does this scripture refer to; God's judgment or mans?  I submit to you, the answer is both.  Bear with me and hear me out.  

The Culture War Occurs in the Valley of Decision
A valley is a low point between the mountains.  Today, we've had issue after issue arise.  One one side is the counter culture to God's word and on the other side are those who contend for the truth.  They meet together in the valley of decision.  Some might even call it the valley of contention where opposing thoughts collide. 

The size of the mountain is based upon the number of people as well as their thoughts about an issue.  The more elaborate the deception, the more people who buy into a decieved way of thinking the bigger the mountain.  On the other hand, the more people that understand and practice the truth the bigger the mountain of truth. 

Paul the apostle reveals that a stronghold refers to our way of thinking often revealed through our arguments. He says in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,..."  

There are situations today for which each of us must decide where we stand.  It's common for most of us to respond as Joshua did in Joshua 5:13 where he says, "Are you for us, or are you for our adversaries?"  Are you on my side or their side?  The response of the one Joshua asked reveals an essential truth.  In verse 14, "So he said, "No, but as the Commander of the army of the Lord I have come."  This is revealing. 

The issue is not, is God on your side? But rather, no matter what the issue, the real question is, are we on His side.  Does our opinion align with His?  

The valley is the low point between two conflicting mountains of opinon. It's where the culture war occurs. The question the wise person asks is, "where does the Lord stand on this issue?  What does He think? "
 
Valleys Exist Where Two Conflicting Opinions Meet

By Tim Taylor:  In the last few days the coronavirus outbreak has made international headlines.  This morning I saw a prophetic word from Charlie Shamp delivered May 29, 2018.  Charlie is one of a number of prophets we've learned to watch and I'd like to say we saw this word in 2018 but we did not.  

I'd like to use this situation to illustrate what how we use prophetic words to empower the Church to pray through 1Church1Day (get your app through Itunes or Google Play).  I'll share the lessons first and then at the end I'll share Charlie's complete prophetic word.

First, prophets are a gift from God (Ephesians 4:11).  The scripture also reveals that, Amos 3:7, 
"Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets."  Ezekiel 3 and 33 reveals that the watchman is likened unto the prophet and the watchman's job is to give the people they watch over warning.  2 Chronicles 20:20 also reveals that "...Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.”  

Second, God speaks to other ministers and people as well but 1 Corinthians 13:9  teaches us that know one knows everything.   That is why we know in part and prophesy in part.  God made us to need each other.  That is why in the 1Church1Day app we provide a way for every person to report what they see and hear.  Secondly, we've formed councils and one of those councils is a prophet's council.  This includes prophetic intercessors and prophets who give words, watch other prophets like Charlie, and report what they see and hear.  

Third, we do 1 Corinthians 14:29 which says, let the prophets speak two or three and let the others judge. That's what we do with our councils.  We determine:

1. Is this the word of the Lord?  Yes or no?  
2. Does the character of the prophet line up with God's word?  Yes or no?
3. If it is the word of the Lord does it have a personal application, or is the word limited to a family, a people, a local church, a city, region, state or nation or beyond?  
4. Does time play a factor in the word and if so how? 
5. How should we respond to God's word?  
   1. Psalm 68:11 teaches us that when God gives us a word, He wants His people to proclaim it.  It is how His will is enforced on earth as it is in heaven.  So we determine what to proclaim.
   2. Is any other action required to respond to God's word besides prayer?  If so, what?  

What Did God Warn Us Of? 
I've observed Charlie for years and found many of his prophetic words have proven accurate.  This is just one more example and it contains some instruction from our Lord. 

Satan is clever!  He understands spiritual laws and their impact on the natural well and this is why he has focused so much effort on influencing politics in every nation.  In this case, I will use the United States as an example.  The goal is to expose Satan's clever traps and equip the believer with two keys to equip them to determine if a false prophet and or a doctrine of a demon is in play.

Jesus warned us in Matthew 24:24 that false christs and false prophets would rise in the last days to "deceive."  He ends it with "if possible, even the very elect."  His statement indicates that their speech, their arguments, their doctrine will be clever.  Convincing even! Especially to those who do not know truth.  

Paul, an apostle,  warned Timothy about the "falling away", Satan's modus operandi and the character of Satan's messengers.  In 1 Timothy 4:1-2 he says that some would fall for "deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons" who would be "speaking lies in hypocrisy."   

So what's the problem?  It's discernment. Why?  First, some ministers in the Church only focus on applying these admonitions in the "religious sphere."  In other words, only within the four walls of the Church on Sunday and Wednesday.  It's not applied to the life of every Christian who interacts with every sphere on a daily basis.   Ephesians 4:12 tells us that the role of the 5-fold ministry is to "equip the saints for the work of the ministry."  In other words every believer ought to be equipped as a minister.  So the first problem is not equipping every believer to act as a minister with discernment.  

The second problem is fear and ignorance. For example, some today espouse a "separation of church and state."  Some ministers today choose to avoid politics because of the conflict that is inherently involved.  Their motive, keep peace at all costs in their local church so people won't leave.  Why?  Because people translate to money; offerings! 

Separation of Church and State - NOT! 
This position is further bolstered by ignorance of the origin of the phrase "separation of church and state."  It's not a phrase from the Bible but rather from a letter penned by Thomas Jefferson who answered the Danbury Baptist's letter which expressed their concern that government would overstep their bounds to effect the church negatively.  It was in this context that Jefferson wrote in a letter (ie. not in a bill, law, etc.) about the "separation of church and state."  His view was based upon their knowledge of the history of the King of England starting with Henry the VIII who departed the Catholic Church because they would not annul his marriage to Catherine in 1530.  This led to a series of events which eventually positioned civil leader, the king, to also serve as the head of the Anglican Church.  Bottom line, the king ended up acting more like the corrupt kings we see in Israel (1st & 2nd Kings) who "made Israel sin" than the righteous kings like David who sought to love and honor our Lord which was reflected in his willingness to allow God's prophets and priests to confront and address his moral failures especially when it impacted the nation. 

These ministers are often ignorant, or have not focused on what God's word reveals about eternal spiritual laws that exist and how certain acts by a people can activate a spiritual law that brings blessing or enact a law that causes the land to expel it's inhabitants through wars, pestilence, and or "natural disasters." (ie. Deuteronomy 28, Leviticus 18, 20 and 26).  In other words, they do not understand how important righteous laws are.  Righteous laws are based upon truth.  

Satan has sent his false prophets which are influenced by deceiving spirits to teach their doctrines.  These are doctrines of demons.  I'll use Saul Alynski whose book, "Rules for Radicals" has been adopted as the playbook for the Democrat Party as an example.  You'll note in the article shared at the top of this article it describes the 8 strategies to create a socialist state.  These thoughts are being used today to impact America, don't you think?  Let me share with you the root system of his doctrine. 

The Two Keys to Discerning False Prophets & Doctrines of Demons

Sometimes I marvel at the lack of discernment in the body of Christ.  On the other hand, I'm not surprised.  Why?  It's because most haven't even read through their Bible one time much less read, study and pray daily.  A 2016 study by LifeWay indicated that only 11% have read it through once.  Most of the "Church" doesn't even know what the Bible says in most matters.  

If you don't know the Word of God then you have no plumb-line to compare words and actions to.  Instead they fall prey to the deception of Satan our adversary.  For example, even the unbelievers know and quote Matthew 7:1 where Jesus said, "Judge not, that you may not be judged."   But here is the problem.  Ignorance!  

You see if you read the scripture you'd see that Jesus was in the middle of a sermon.  What preceded Matthew 7:1 was chapter 6 where in Jesus taught us not to pray as the hypocrites in verse 5 and not to fast like the hypocrites in verse 16.  When he got to 7:1 His audience understood it was implied that we were not to judge as the hypocrites did.  This is clarified in verse 5 which no one every quotes Jesus when He says, "Hypocrite!  First remove the plank from your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

Why in Matthew 7:15 - 20 He teaches us how to judge or discern a false prophet by examining their actions and comparing it to God's word.  A tweet by Charlie Kirk on Twitter this morning about Adam Schiff provides a perfect example.
