I saw this post by the Oak Initiative regarding a 2017 report provided by CBS News.  The facts presented in "Islamists extremism caused 84,000 deaths worldwide in 2017," provide facts which help frame the term "Islamophobia" and its use in their cultural jihad!  These facts provide context to introduce radical Islam's war on your mind. 

Islamaphobia was a word created around 1995. It's a word meant to shame the hearers into not taking action or ignoring actions like are described in this report.  Tell me, can you point to any other religion in the world today who is committing such violence against innocents and soft targets like women (acid attacks), children (child marriage starting at 9), or restaurants or schools (bombers)? 

Fear is actually part of God’s design.  The Bible teaches us there is such a thing as a healthy fear, like the scriptures that admonish us to fear (reverence, respect and honor) God.  God's word also warns us against unhealthy or excessive fear to.  God's antidote for excessive fear is found in 1 John 4:18.  It's perfect or mature love which casts out all fear.  

Phobia's Role & Islamaphobia's Goal

Phobia refers to an unhealthy fear that goes way beyond a healthy boundary. Islamaphobia is a word made up around 1995. It's goal was to assist Islamic operatives with their cultural jihad.  Don't forget that Jihad refers to their "holy war" and Islam means "surrender."  The practitioners of radical Islam it is said make up close to 20% worldwide.  Pew Research says that there are about 1.8 billion Muslim's world wide.  Twenty percent, hey, even ten percent, provide a clear and present danger which is reinforced by the CBS article.  

The word Islamophobia is used by organizations like CAIR (click Council on American Islamic Relations) in their efforts to work in a nation as a minority so as to protect their efforts and goals of setting up Sharia Law.  If you want to understand their goal just look to Europe.  

Shame and the War on Your Mind
Islamophobia is a word meant to illicit shame and sympathy by painting the Muslims as victims.  To be clear, many Muslims are victims of radical Islam to.  But this word was not made for them.  The word was made to be used in the West.  You can see how the term was used in Europe in conjunction with immigration so as to create majorities in certain areas were Sharia could then be instituted.  

The term is meant to be used to distract you from facts.  It's meant to dull the mind or hide the threat in plain sight through the use of shame and even create allies through sympathy.  

Yesterday I spent from 9 AM to 9 PM ministering to men in both private and corporate meetings.  This morning I awoke with God speaking to me about Satan's war and strategy against men.  

Remember, Revelation 12 describes how Satan, the dragon, that serpent of old called the Devil, and his angels were in a war in heaven and they were cast to the earth.  Verse 17 reveals how that dragon was enraged and went to "make war" with those who "keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."  

So we have been and are at war.  It's a spiritual war that spills into the seven spheres or mountains of culture.  

​PSYOPS = Psychological Operations
I learned in through the Navy War College that "armies exist to project power to enforce the will of the government they represent."  War involves conflict between two or more opposing ideas with the goal of imposing one government's will upon another.  Most people think of war in the context of using physical force to defeat an enemy so as to remove their will to resist.  It seeks to change their mind!

In Satan's war he has a strategy against against the family, men and women.  Today, I'll focus on one aspect of his war against men.  He is using both direct and indirect attacks.  His goal, is to rob the body of Christ, men in particular, of their will to fight. 

It’s called psychological warfare whose operations are referred to as PSYOPS.  Wikipedia says click "….Various techniques are used, and are aimed at influencing a target audience's value system, belief system, emotions, motives, reasoning, or behavior. It is used to induce confessions or reinforce attitudes and behaviors favorable to the originator's objectives, and are sometimes combined with black operations or false flag tactics. It is also used to destroy the morale of enemies through tactics that aim to depress troops' psychological states…. common peace policy practice between nations as a form of indirect aggression. This type of propaganda drains the public opinion of an opposing regime by stripping away its power on public opinion.  It’s hard to defend against and it’s goal is to defeat the will of the enemy.   

Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:10 to pray Lord, let Your kingdom come and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Satan seeks to oppose God's will.  PSYOPs is one of the means of attempting to defeat the will of your adversary.

Toxic Masculinity - A Strategy to Emasculate Men

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.).

Matthew 28:18-20 - And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Jesus said, go make disciples of all nations.  So here is my question, how can you tell when a nation is discipled? I do not intend to completely answer at this time but I want to ask an even more specific question.  

Do you think, that a nation who is discipled will have laws that reflect an understanding of God's truth?  

I do!  But unfortunately much of the Church in America acts like they do not believe this.    

Becoming a disciple is not a one time event.  It's a life long process.  I have taught the word of God for years and I've mentored, discipled leaders in the Church for years.  Some even consider me like a father in the Lord.  At the same time, I'm still a disciple.  I spend time in God's word, in prayer and in the presence of our Lord daily.  He teaches me by His spirit and through other men and women who are anointed 5 fold gifts in the body of Christ.  

You see, God is the Creator of heaven and earth.  He made mankind, male and female He created them!  He created marriage and designed all of creation and determined how it works including how life is conceived.

He created the law of gravity. It works all the time.  If you understand the law of aerodynamics you can create vehicles that overcome the law of gravity... for a short time.  But one thing for sure.  It just works.

There are spiritual laws that always work to!  

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!

If you are a leader and you'd like to see your community transformed like this then click here to learn what we've done to equip 300 new leaders to mobilize the Church to transform their community through our Kingdom Academy.

Or, contact our office and ask about what it would take to host a 1.5 day 1Church1Day Kick Off in your city or region.  Click here.

It's amazing what God's people can accomplish when we collaborate together.  In the last 36 days we saw those using the 1Church1Day app mobilize: 

• 1000 hours of prayer
• 3 Churches/Ministries taking a day of prayer
• 108 new people
• 6 Churches/Ministries 

To cover one month in prayer requires 744 hours.  Each person who simply reported the time they prayed using the app says we mobilized the equivalent of 41.66 days of prayer.  Add in the 3 from the churches and ministries who took a day of prayer and that raises it to 44.66 days of prayer.  But then If we add in the corporate prayer calls or prayer gatherings which included ministries like Washington State Prayer Caucus, Prayer Strike Force, Church of Truth, the WA ST Business Council, Father's House, The King's Fisher we add in another 153 hours.  This brings our total days of prayer to 51 days of prayer.  

That's a lot of power and it only comes when we the Church cooperate, collaborate and communicate together.  Now this is just a SMALL FRACTION of what is available.  If you understand the principle of exponential power found in God's word then you will understand just how important your prayer watch, or adding your voice to a prayer alert is.  Click here for the Revelation of the Power of One More!

Prayer Power + Honoring Jurisdictions = Results 
That's a lot of "prayer power."  We saw 9 new testimonies or answers to prayer recorded during this same time period as well.  We pray for results and the strategic councils we are forming (Church, Government, Business, Family, Life and Evangelism so far) help direct our prayers with insight gleaned from leaders within that sphere with actual jurisdiction.

Isaiah 2:2-3 says:

On this Sunday which we celebrate our Lord's resurrection from the dead I'd like to share with you the daily teaching I get from Al Houghton's Word at Work.  You can sign up for his daily teaching here at The Word at Work.  Here's the main point I want you to hear.  He says, "it can't flow through us if we don't welcome it to us."  

The Word at Work by Al Houghton, April 21, 2019
Scripture: Luke 4: 6-8. 

We see this principal again in Luke 4:6-8. This passage says, “And the devil said to Him, ‘All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship (proskuneo) before me, all will be Yours.’ And Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Get behind Me, satan! For it is written, “You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only you shall serve.’” Proskuneo means bow your knee, like a puppy, expecting to get food from the master’s hand and submitting to the master. There it is again, the same thing. Bow your knee and submit. If we as believers steadfastly refuse to bow our knee and submit to the devil and we only bow our knee to God, then we have the authority to cause others to bow their knee or flee. That is the only way we get it. Walking in power and authority is a product of Who we worship! Who do we yield to? Do we bring ourselves under God’s authority? That is the test! It can’t flow through us if we don’t welcome it to us. Over and over again Jesus makes this point! Yielding to the Spirit guarantees power! Moses, Samuel and the prophets all had to learn this Biblical truth! End of Al’s message.

In this scripture “led” implies submission and it illustrates how our submission to God’s authority, not only gives us authority but qualifies us to share in His glory. The glory Jesus prayed we’d share with Him in John 17. I find the following scriptures very appropriate on this Resurrection Sunday.  

On April 13, 2019 Warring Dove International hosted me at a church in Fort Worth Texas. As I have witnessed throughout the years many times God marked the message I was giving with lightning and thunderstorms and even some tornadoes.  My assignment that day was to present the 1Church1Day strategy which was previously called Operation Rolling Thunder.  

It's a strategy that helps the Church in a network, local area or a region establish continual prayer, praise and worship which seats the courtroom of heaven. It is a modern application of the pattern that King David used in Mount Zion to establish 24/7 prayer so that the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, Counsel and Might would be invited into the presence of his councils.  

In Lamentations 5:14 and 18 we find that when Zion is desolate, the elders no longer gathered in the gates.  Besides re-establishing 24/7 the strategy includes a practical method for actually seating the elders back in the gates so to speak.  We use the 7 mountains or 7 spheres along with the five fold ministry as a starting place to do that.  In a sense, its a way to establish God's government on earth as it is in heaven.  

In Exodus 18 and 20 we find a type and a shadow of this. Here, Moses established order in the camp by choosing "men who fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness, and to place them as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifty, and rulers of tens."  Then he went up to Mount Sinai where God gave him the 10 Commandments.  Here, God's presence encountered Moses, the earth and the atmosphere.  We find lightning and thundering associated with God's presence and His voice.  We find these kinds of testimonies all
through scripture and I've found it still happens today.  

In my book, Operation Rolling Thunder - Revised Edition click here you'll find the history of the strategy now known as 1Church1Day.  Using King David's pattern which he established in the tabernacle on Mount Zion we establish 24/7 prayer, praise and worship.  Why?  It's because prayer, praise and worship are the atmosphere of heaven and it makes God welcome here on earth.  Psalm 18:6-14 was the scripture God used to help name this strategy Operation Rolling Thunder in 2004.  The sweet Psalmist of Israel, King David penned this Psalm saying,

I awoke at 4 AM.  As I waited on the Lord I fell asleep and had a dream.  

In this dream I was a young man of college age.  Immediately I knew the context of the prayer.  I had sex with a woman who got an abortion.  Today, we usually focus on the women who have an abortion. But, in this dream God's spotlight was on the man.

I felt the weight of sin as I realized that I'd participated in a murder.  Words fail to capture the heavy guilt I felt as I remembered Revelation 21:6-8:

And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

In the dream, I fully realized the gravity of my sin and the hopelessness of my situation.  I was a co-conspirator in a murder.  I was guilty.  I had not only participated in sex outside of marriage but I had also chosen to believe and propagate the lies such as:​
