By Tim Taylor March 27, 2022 - Some of my thoughts on Sunday morning before the church gathers together.  I share a truth I learned through Aviation Officer Candidate School.  I learned I was duty-bound to obey every lawful order.  I also discovered I was duty-bound to disobey every unlawful order respectfully.  Bottom line, I will not comply with a lie.

Then I go on to highlight why they hated Jesus.  He spoke the truth and His disciples are called to follow in His footsteps.  But, there are many who are enemies of the cross.  Click here for my ramblings on YouTube, Will You Comply with a Lie?  We will see if they censor me.  I use current events such as the Supreme Court nomination and the judge's inability to define woman for context.  Hint:  if you look at the assistant Secretary of Health's recent nomination for "Woman of the Year" you will understand why the judge refused to define woman.  

But that is not the real issue.  The real issue is, how will you respond to a lying narrative in today's society. 

By Tim Taylor February 20, 2022 - In this short YouTube I provide you an update on our orphans as well as some insight into a new strategy God has me working on to serve and reach leaders in the seven mountains.  Last September I shared with you the first thing I heard God speak to me after COVID.  Click here for Teach us to Number our Days - Part 2.  

That word led me to recognize I needed to re-present myself to mayors, police chiefs, business owners, marketplace ministers, principals, educators, media professionals.... etc. not as an apostle or the presiding bishop over KLI, but rather as a coach and a consultant.  With that in mind, I'm working on Tim Taylor Training.  The tag line is "Hit the Mark."  

That phrase means more to me than most realize.  In this short video, I'll share about a leader I had to confront once about greed.  It was in this context that God first began to speak with me about "hit the mark."  

I think some of you will be surprised to learn what the root word for the law in Hebrew, Torah, and the root word for sin, hata, actually means.  Click here for "What do I mean when I say, "I pray you hit the mark?"

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 August 8, 2021 - Jesus said in Matthew 24:24-25, "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand."

A synonym for deceive is fool. Candidly, I have marveled at how evil has masked its lies with half-truths such that fundamental long held truths and principles are being abandoned or forgotten such that Isaiah 5:20 has manifested today before our very eyes.  I've never seen evil called good and good called evil on such a wide scale.  Have you? 

Never have there been so many weak-minded weak-willed people that the demonic is able to manipulate.  The best deceptions have copious amounts of truth.  But today it seems like the demonic is even able to use less truth to spout even greater lies and people are so deceived they not only believe but defend the lie.  It's like a spiritual Stockholm Syndrome.  Don't know what Stockholm Syndrome is?  It' is a mental disorder.  Their thinking is screwed up.  They've been fooled.  

When is the last time you took a look at the Bible to see what is says about fools?  There are three kinds of fools revealed in scripture.  One kind of fool is a good fool.  The question is, what kind of fool are you?  Click here for Have You Been Fooled! 

By Tim Taylor May 26, 2021 - This past weekend I saw members of our church, of which some were public school teachers, interacting about Critical Race Theory.  My job description comes from the Lord Ephesians 4:11-15 where it says, and please note the underlines:

"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ."

The goal is the equip each person to serve as a minister.  Now our folks discerned well.  But I have seen many in Christendom who do not know how to discern.  With that in mind, the scripture revealed that the standard is to which we compare ourselves to is Christ.  The challenge is immaturity, changing winds of doctrine, trickery of men along with their deceitful plotting.  My assignment, the believer’s assignment, is to speak the truth in love. 

To equip the believer in Jesus Christ to serve as a minister they must mature.  Hebrews 5:12-14 tells us that the mature believer can discern between good and evil. Discern also means judge.  1 Corinthians 2:14-15 teaches us that the mature, spiritually discerning one does not judge people, as that is the Lord's job, but they do judge things such as words and actions.  How do you decide?  You compare the words and actions you observe to God's word.  

That statement reveals one of the biggest challenges today.  That is ignorance of God's word.  The American Bible Society reported that in 2020 only 9% read their Bible daily.  Barna reported in a report about a decade ago that only 11% have read through their Bible once and recently they reported that only 19% of Christians hold a Biblical worldview.  

Hosea 4:6 says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..."

Without the knowledge of God's word, you cannot judge or discern.  You see my opinion means nothing.  God's word, which is the Truth, means everything for that is what will ultimately judge us.  Jesus said in John 12:47-48:

"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."

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 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, 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!  

By Tim Taylor, May 24, 2020 - Tomorrow, in America, we celebrate Memorial Day.  It is a day we remember those who gave their lives for our freedom.  To learn more visit History.com's Memorial Day.  Its origin dates all the way back to the Civil War.  According to PBS over 303,000 were buried in national cemeteries.  One the major reasons for this war was to "set the captives free."  

As I contemplated this morning the Lord spoke to me about our, the Christian's, Memorial Day.  Did you know that heaven watches for your Memorial Day?  I'll explain but first let's celebrate this Memorial Day by remembering. 

1 Peter 2:17 says, "Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king."  It is right that we remember the sacrifices of those who defend our freedom.  I saw a meme a few years ago that said this.  "Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you.  Jesus Christ and the American fighting soldier.  One died for your soul and the other died for your freedom."  

So, to all of our veterans who've lost members of their unit who were like family, and to the families of all those who've lost loved ones we thank you for your sacrifice.  Many of us in this nation are still truly very grateful.  It is my sincerest prayer and hope that the generation that follows will correct the mis-steps of our nation in recent decades and once again return this nation to God so that it fulfills its role and uses its freedom and liberty to serve as a beacon of hope and that the Church in this nation would use their liberty to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Heaven Watches for Your Memorial Day
